Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 229 You and Michaela are destined to be together!

Bai Shi followed the path indicated by Yura and arrived at the top of the ruins of the building.

Sure enough, with just a light leap from here, you can reach the broken bridge.

There were not many defenders on this broken bridge, it was empty.

There were only a few scattered soldiers at the broken bridge connecting the town in front of the academy.

The place at the end of the bridge in front of you is the South Gate, one of the two main entrances of the Magic Academy.

After Bai Shi stepped onto the broken bridge, he was about to go straight to the gate of the academy, but was suddenly stopped by a weak voice.

"You, come here..."

"Come over here old woman."

"Please, let me read your fingers..."

Bai Shi was shocked because he didn't see anything on the broken bridge when he came up.

And he is still in an invisible state.

Bai Shi looked towards the place where the sound came from and saw a wooden chair on the side of the broken bridge.

An old woman with a strange hunched body and a huge cane was squatting on a wooden chair.

The old woman had a very old face and her eyes were deeply sunken. I wonder how she could see.

She is one of the old ladies at the border.

Bai Shi narrowed his eyes slightly.

Bai Shi was sure that the old woman who had just performed the finger-unraveling operation was not here.

This means that the old woman appeared there suddenly.

After thinking for a while, Bai Shi did not dissolve and turn invisible, but just walked over.

"Can you see me?"

The old woman chuckled.

"I can see a person with a royal status even if he has no form, let alone if he is just invisible."

"Okay, please, let me help you..."

There was anticipation in the words of the old woman who was untied. I wonder why the act of untied fingers made her so excited.

Bai Shi thought about it and did not reject her.

Bai Shi removed the magic on his hand, leaving only his right hand visible.

"Then please help me."

The old woman with the finger untied uttered a strange laugh, and lifted up Bai Shi's hand to look at it.

"...Thank God."

“…Oh…Oh…”

"…You and Lady Mikaela are destined to be together!"

Bai Shi frowned when he heard this.

Why is this old woman cursing him?
It would be fine if people had said that he and Michaela were destined to be together when they didn't know the truth.

Now Bai Shi knew that the little boy Michaela was a lesbian, so he went to find Latan first.

The old woman now said that she had a destiny with him, which sounded a little strange to Bai Shi.

Besides, is it true that he and Michaela are meant to be together? Bai Shi thinks not.

The old woman who was explaining the finger said to herself:

"he he he he he……"

"You deserve it, you really deserve it, little Hundred-eared boy..."

"Kill, kill, and kill again...but it will not work."

"What he had been trying so hard to get is no longer available..."

"And you don't need that anymore."

Bai Shi looked at the old woman in front of him and felt something was wrong.

This means that what the old woman said is different from what is in the game?
The boy with the hundred ears must be referring to Sir Baizhi. As for that thing, it should be the secret symbol to the sacred tree.

It seemed that she knew that she had already gone to the Holy Snow Plain, so she said that she no longer needed that thing.

But how did she know?

The old ladies are mysterious and there is not much information about them in the game.

These old ladies who can interpret fingers are scattered all over the border area. They have different temperaments and can see different things.

However, their role is not small. Although their words are in riddles, they are already relatively obvious game clues.

Especially after knowing the important plots and items, looking back at the words of the old ladies who explained the story, you will find that what they said are actually understandable.

Bai Shi thought for a moment and asked the old woman:

"Besides that, can you see anything else?"

But the old woman who was untied said nothing. She looked at Bai Shi with her deeply sunken eye sockets and giggled.

Bai Shi looked at her for a while and realized that he probably couldn't get any more information from her.

Bai Shi then shook his head and turned away.

"Thank you for helping me with my fingering. Take care of yourself."

After walking a few steps, the old woman behind him began to mumble something incoherently.

"In the south, a death ritual is being performed."

"Those stubborn people are still praying... hehe..."

"It's a pity that prayers will not be answered..."

But when Bai Shi looked back, the old woman who had untied her fingers had disappeared.

Bai Shi frowned, explaining that the old woman had to wait until he left before speaking. She was really a top riddler. If you don't want to say it, don't say it. If you want to say it, say it quickly. Why do you have to play this game?

If Bai Shi’s hearing wasn’t good enough, he would have missed this sentence.

But… South side, death rituals, prayers?

It sounds like it's related to Godwin.

Bai Ling from Sol City did mention prayer, but Sol City is in the north, right?
I can’t get any useful information from it now, so I can only write it down and wait for exploration later.

Bai Shi started from the Broken Bridge, went deep into the town in front of the academy, and headed to the south gate of the Magic Academy.

Along the way, Bai Shi also observed the distribution of the cuckoo soldiers nearby.

The cuckoos seemed to be quite concerned about the assignments from the magic academy, and they stationed a large number of people in front of the abandoned academy.

There are Cuckoo Knights and soldiers stationed on almost every traffic road.

Usually there are one or two knights with dozens of soldiers, plus some soldiers who serve as cannon fodder.

These soldiers looked very serious and were on guard the whole time.

But if you look closely, you will find that these are almost all mindless zombies, which is why they are standing guard here.

In addition to regular soldiers and knights, there are also several flaming chariots with terrifying faces.

These fire chariots are also first-class weapons of war.

The front is carved from bronze with the face of a fire giant, and several tongues can be seen hanging out of its open mouth.

The heavy metal gives it extremely terrifying defensive power, and the tongue of fire that comes out of its mouth can turn everything into scorched earth.

The fire that could burn everything was enough to make the world realize once again how terrifying giants and fire were.

There is no doubt that this is a powerful weapon on various battlefields in the border areas.

Bai Shi approached the flaming chariot, stuck close to the ferocious face of the giant, and began to observe it carefully.

This thing is a medieval tank.

This is a magical chariot that can only appear in this kind of fantasy world.

Can you imagine that in addition to a driver, there are two people lying near the wheels, manually cranking the wheels to provide power?
Yes, this thing has no power system and is driven by human power.

When Bai Shi discovered this, his expression was extremely complicated.

It's a little unexpected, but it's something that people from the border area would do.

Suddenly, Bai Shi discovered something unexpected on this flaming chariot.

Bai Shi looked at the front chassis of the flame chariot.

On the chassis, there was a very blurred and severely damaged Stonewell eagle emblem.

This thing is actually related to Stonewell?
Bai Shi had never noticed this in the game. After all, he was chased by this thing every day, and he would quickly stab the driver from behind or jump over the terrain to kill him, so it was difficult to notice this detail on the front.

Moreover, various intelligence reports said that this was the property of the fire martial arts monks, and Stonewell was never mentioned.

It seems that the water in Stonewell was deeper than Bai Shi imagined.

I have to ask the ancient king when I get back.

Afterwards, Bai Shi turned invisible and walked all the way to the entrance of the Magic Academy in broad daylight.

Here, Bai Shi took out the academy's pyroxene key.

He touched the azure magic seal with the academy's pyroxene key, and then a blue light flashed in front of him, and his body was no longer blocked by the seal.

Bai Shi successfully passed through the seal, and then the pyroxene on the academy's pyroxene key lost its color.

Now that Bai Shi has gained the qualification to pass, this pyroxene key can no longer be used.

Bai Shi looked up and saw that he was now on an upward slope.

Unlike the game, he was not teleported directly to the square of the Magic Academy.
-
At this moment, inside the Rhea Lukalia College.

The leaders of each classroom gathered together again and had an intense discussion.

The topic they were arguing about at the moment was the mysterious man who walked in openly through the main gate.

During the period when the academy was closed, the noise of using the academy's pyroxene key to open the door was enough to attract their attention.

As they thought and argued, the pyroxene on the hoods flashed at an extremely high frequency, flashing even more frequently than the Ultra Timer which was about to expire.

"Who got the key? The wizard who was stranded outside the academy?"

"Who knows? I've already said that I'd install a surveillance magic tool at the door."

"Shut up, idiot. You've already pretended! He used invisibility magic. We can only see the magic power, but we don't know who it is."

"We know nothing about him now. We can't tell whether he is a friend or an enemy. We only know that he entered from the south gate..."

"What do you think... could it be the Storm King?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the other magicians stopped their discussion and looked at the magician Razli who had spoken.

This is undoubtedly one of the worst-case scenarios.

The gleaming pyroxene above their heads proved that they were thinking at full speed.

The magician of Olivenis refuted this conjecture:
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"It will definitely take a lot of manpower to search for the key. Lienia is not his Nimgefu."

"We have people monitoring Stonewell all the time, and there are no large numbers of people coming."

"And the most important thing is that there is absolutely no need for the Storm King to come in stealthily."

The other magicians looked at each other.

Although what he said made sense, they decided to drop this inconclusive topic for now.

In short, no matter who comes in, what needs to be done is the same.

"Raise the elevator first! Otherwise he will come up soon!"

"Also, send more men down!"
