Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 195 Alexander seems to be breaking down

Today, a grand dinner will be held in Red Lion City.

The battle festival, which was a major concern for the Red Lion Legion, finally came to a successful conclusion.

Therefore, the Red Lions take the upcoming dinner very seriously.

This is a dinner to commemorate the end of the battle festival and to celebrate the festival champion Bai Shi.

But before the celebration, an unexpected person took the initiative to approach Bai Shi.

Bai Shi looked at Bernard in front of him with some surprise.

I don’t know how this old faded elder found him.

Bernal was not wearing a helmet at this time, and his thick beard made him look a little old.

Bernard looked Bai Shi up and down before speaking:

"Storm King Baishi, you are very strong."

"Moreover, he has quite good character and is, in my opinion, a role model for those who fade."

Bai Shi looked at Bernard, who came up and started praising him, and felt a little confused, wondering what he was doing here.

"Thanks for the compliment."

"You're the Bernardo, aren't you?"

When Bernard heard Bai Shi calling out his name, he was not too surprised and nodded in acknowledgement.

After all, he didn't hide his identity in front of others.

The beast armor is a very obvious symbol.

"If my feeling is correct, you seem to have an invitation letter to Huoshanguan Residence."

Bai Shi was quite surprised. Could he even feel this?
It seems that there are special means on the invitation letter from Volcano Residence to distinguish whether an invitation has been received.

"Yes, there was indeed a girl named Laya who gave me an invitation."

"And I'm also a little curious about the Volcano Residence."

"There might be something in there that I'm interested in."

"When I have time, I think I will pay you a visit."

Especially the Big Rune of Lakkad, Bai Shi wanted it very much.

Bernal shook his head.

"Curious about the Volcano Residence?"

"But I'm afraid I'll disappoint you."

“Maybe there were heroes there before, but now there are nothing left.”

"The current Volcano Mansion is a gathering place for those who violate the blessings and hunt their fellow lawbreakers."

"Do you understand what this means?"

"I advise you not to get involved with that place. There is nothing there that would interest someone like you."

Bai Shi nodded.

"I know what kind of place Volcano Residence is."

"I don't approve of the actions of the Volcano Residence, nor do I have any interest in hunting the weak."

"However, it's not because they attack their fellow countrymen, but because of their abuse of the weak and their hatred for the lunatics."

"I don't distinguish between people based on their identities as compatriots or the same blood, because in my eyes there is only the difference between friends and enemies."

"As an enemy, whether they are faded ones or anyone else, I treat them all equally."

To be honest, Bai Shi doesn't care about the word compatriot at all.

He only distinguishes who is a friend and who is an enemy.

After all, there is a lonely soul drifting inside him.

Are we brothers with the Faded Ones?

Bai Shi has never felt this way before.

What he always hated was the abuse of the weak by the Volcano Mansion and the Blood Dynasty.

White consciousness will not stand on the moral high ground and point fingers at them for attacking their fellow faded ones.

If there are Faded Ones standing in Bai Shi's way and becoming his enemy, he will definitely chop those who are blocking his way without any hesitation.

But torturing and abusing the weak is completely different.

Baizhi simply hates their bullying and their crazy thinking.

Because those people are crazy and trash, that's why they torture the weak like psychopaths.

If there were guys with good character among them, white people would not discriminate against them so much.

Just like Bernard, who insisted on the dignity of a knight, Bai Shi did not dislike him at all.

Bernal raised an eyebrow.

Although he was in the Volcano Residence and was not satisfied with its current situation, he did not want to interfere.

Because the Volcano Residence had long been beyond saving, and he knew it very well.

However, Bai Shi is a faded person with the qualifications to become a king, and his character and strength are impeccable.

Bernard saw in him the long-lost dazzling brilliance.

Bernal didn't want Bai Shi to get involved in the affairs of the Volcano Residence.

Tanis, the current owner of the Volcano Mansion, is very good at talking, and people with weak wills can be easily bewitched.

But after getting in touch with it, it seems that there is no need to worry about white knowledge.

"Is that so? Then I hope you can find what you want in the Volcano Residence."

After saying goodbye to Bai Shi, Bernal left Red Lion City without any plans to attend the evening celebration.

He still had some things to do in Galeed.
-
In the evening, the celebratory dinner was held as scheduled.

The soldiers raised their glasses and drank, but compared to the lively scene before the war, the current scene seemed a little lonely.

Almost half of the people died on the Weeping Dunes.

But at least the purpose of the battle festival has been achieved, right?

Bai Shi also relaxed for a rare time and participated in the rare entertainment.

After a night of revelry, many soldiers fell asleep in the square in a completely undignified manner.

The awake soldiers left one after another.

Blaze and Iggy come over to find Bai Shi to say goodbye to him.

Blaze looked at Bai Shi and spoke first:
"Master Bai Shi, I'm going to the place where the meteor fell. I'll take my leave now."

"The seal of the stars has been lifted, and the fate of Lani has been revived."

"I suppose the road to the 'Eternal City' Noklongen has also appeared."

Iggy stroked his beard and looked for the place where the meteor fell. This was his judgment as a military advisor.

Now that fate has been unleashed, that unique meteor is most likely the guide of fate.

So he planned the next move for Blazer.

Bai Shi looked at Iggy.

"What about you, Master Iggy? Are you going there too?"

Iggy waved his hand.

"Let the soldiers take care of that kind of place."

"When people get old, they can't even work well. If they die, they will just be a burden."

"Next I will return to Kalia Castle."

"If you need any more forging equipment, you can find me at the gate of the fortress."

Iggy slapped his head.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot you haven't been to Kalia Castle yet. Do you want me to leave you a map?"

It seems that they don't know that Lani has already agreed on a deeper cooperation with him.

Bai Shi thought for a moment and said:

"Well, actually, I've been to Kalia Castle once before."

"Although the process of meeting Lani was somewhat tortuous, we still met smoothly at the royal moon-viewing site."

"Then Lani and I discussed and decided to cooperate more deeply."

Iggy and Blaze looked at each other awkwardly.

They still knew how dilapidated the inside of Kalia Castle was.

It's embarrassing to be seen like that by outsiders.

Well, never mind.

Anyway, Bai Shi has already been there to meet Lani, so there is nothing to hide.

Iggy looked at Bai Shi and asked about the content of his cooperation.

"I wonder what kind of cooperation Master Baishi and Master Lani have reached this time?"

Bai Shi didn't go into detail, but just talked about the parts related to Blaze and Iggy:
"The blacksmiths in Stonevale are in great need of guidance." "So, Master Iggy, you can go directly to Stonevale."

Iggy nodded and said that it would be nice to go to Stoneville and find something to do.

Bai Shi looked at Blaze again.

"As for the matter of Noklongen, I will go there myself and make sure to get back what Lani wants."

"Then Blaze, you go first, I'll be there later."

Blaze was overjoyed.

The exploration of the 'Eternal City' Noklongen is not going to be smooth sailing.

But if there is a strong person like Bai Shi to help, then there is nothing to worry about.

The two said goodbye to Bai Shi and set off on their own journey.

After seeing Iggy and Blaze leave, Leida also went to find Bai Shi.

The more Leida looked at Bai Shi, the more she liked him.

During this time, she also continued to collect information and learned about Stonewell under Bai Shi's governance.

It was a place that advocated peaceful coexistence among species, which coincided perfectly with the philosophy of the Holy Tree of Lady Michaela.

The strength that Bai Shi had previously demonstrated was also quite terrifying.

Leida felt that it was a feasible approach to leverage his power through cooperation.

In this case, I need to get in touch with him more.

Leida came in front of Bai Shi and bowed slightly.

"Master Baishi, may I excuse you for a moment?"

Bai Shi has a favorable impression of Michaela's Golden Needle Knight.

This 'Golden Needle Knight' Leida seemed to be fine.

He is polite, powerful, comfortable to get along with, and hard to dislike.

Moreover, he was the last one to leave when dealing with Esti before, and he successfully helped him attract Esti's hatred.

Although Michaela, this genius, has not received very good reviews from those who know him.

But at least no one pointed fingers at him and scolded him, right?

Moreover, it seems that the knights under his command do not need to take the blame for the master's mistakes.

You know, even in a place like the Volcano Mansion, there is a Furnace Knight serving Tanis.

Bai Shi nodded to Leida.

"I remember your name is Leida?"

"What's the matter? Tell me."

Two chuckles came from beneath Leida's helmet.

"Thank you for remembering my name."

“Your strength is truly amazing.”

"As a knight, I admire you greatly, and therefore hope to meet and understand you."

Looking at Leida, a sentence suddenly popped up in Bai Shi's mind:

Longing is the farthest distance from understanding.

"There's no need to say more if you're polite."

After hearing what Bai Shi said, Leida said no more.

"Then I'll get straight to the point."

"Excuse me, Master Baishi, what do you think of Master Michaela's sacred tree?"

Bai Shi thought for a moment before giving his answer:
"The plan for the Holy Tree sounds quite wonderful. It might be a paradise-like world."

"My management of Stonewell is also somewhat influenced by the philosophy of the Holy Tree."

Leida was satisfied with Bai Shi's answer, so she asked her second question:
"Then, may I ask if you know about the existence of the Blood Dynasty?"

Bai Shi was a little surprised.

Does she want to use his power to rescue Michaela?

Bai Shi was definitely going to kill Monger.

But now it seems that we may need to get to know Michaela better before taking action.

Bai Shi doesn't want to be used as a knife by others without knowing why.

Especially now that we know about Michaela's activities after the Ionian War.

"I don't know much about the Blood Dynasty."

"Why are you asking this suddenly? What's wrong?"

After Bai Shi finished speaking, he waited for Leida's reaction.

Leida pondered for a moment and continued:
"Since you don't know much about it, I want to remind you."

"The Blood Dynasty is a force that requires caution. Please pay more attention."

“Otherwise, you may suffer losses in unexpected places.”

Bai Shi nodded.

"Okay, thanks for the reminder. I'll keep an eye on the Blood Dynasty."

Leida looked up at the night sky and bowed goodbye to Bai Shi.

"It's time to say goodbye."

“It’s a pleasure to communicate with you. I hope we can meet again in the future.”

After roughly understanding Bai Shi's views on the Holy Tree and the Blood Dynasty, Leida also had a general idea in her mind.

Leida said goodbye and left the square under Bai Shi's gaze.
-
Alexander also came to say goodbye to Bai Shi and prepared to leave.

"Haha, Bai Shi, you were really strong yesterday!"

"Not only did he defeat General Ratan in a single combat in the Battle Festival."

"Later, that thing was called... uh, what was it called..."

Alexander thought for a moment before he remembered what that strange creature was called.

"Oh, yes, and we also eliminated those two terrifying Esti."

"Especially that last blow. I can't even imagine how powerful that force was."

"Yesterday, I stayed in the Weeping Dunes to search for the remains of warriors willing to become content."

"Did you know that you have turned almost half of the sand dunes into the sea!"

"Alas... In comparison, I am a useless pot. I didn't provide any real help during the battle."

"After being stabbed, he even became like this now."

……

Alexander talked a lot today. Perhaps the serious injury was a heavy blow to him.

After all, such an injury cannot be recovered in a day or two, and the mentality cannot be adjusted immediately.

So Bai Shi just listened to Alexander quietly. He should feel better after he finished talking.

When Alexander finished speaking, he realized that he had said too much today.

After apologizing to Bai Shi, he prepared to leave.

But he was stopped by Bai Shi.

"Um, what's wrong?"

"Because you look like you're breaking down."

Bai Shi remembered that in the game, the injuries Alexander suffered never healed and remained on his body.

Even if you go to a volcano to soak in a lava hot spring, you are only training your body to resist fire.

Alexander reached out and touched the cracked scars on his body.

"Well, although it's a little damaged now, I think it's still okay, hahaha..."

"Do you want to travel like this?"

Bai Shi knocked on the body of his pot.

Alexander's surface is now covered with scars, and even a lot of his contents have leaked out during the previous battle.

As Bai Shi's fingers tapped gently, Alexander couldn't help but cry out in pain.

"hiss--"

Bai Shi shook his head. The pain from such collisions was unbearable, so how could he continue to fight?
I'm afraid any random sheep on the roadside could knock Alexander to pieces.

By then, Alexander would probably be the first warrior to be killed by a sheep at the border.

So Bai Shi pulled Alexander along and prepared to go find Hilbert to see if she had any solution.

After all, he is a prop master, and he carries a small pot with him, so he should know some techniques for maintaining the pot, right?
