Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 313: Jiao Xiaolani and the Deathly Hallows (crossed out)

After crossing the outer stairs of the Divine Tower, Bai Shi arrived at the top of the Divine Tower in Lienia.

Like other divine towers, the top of the tower is very spacious and open.

But unlike those divine towers where the bodies of Two Fingers are buried and which can gain the power of Great Rune, there are no bodies of Two Fingers here.

There is only the abandoned old body of Lani here.

Bai Shi walked forward and came to Lani's body.

There is no penalty for using puns in the game, so this corpse has been jokingly called Jiao Xiaolani, a pun on the Jiao Xiaolani prop.

But in fact, the corpse in front of Bai Shi was not small at all.

Even though it was curled up, the charred corpse was still two times larger than Bai Shi.

Maybe she should actually be called Jiaodalani?
After all, my mother-in-law, Lenara, is very big, and when you add the size of Radagon, Lani's demigod body will not be small.

Bai Shi walked to the side of Lani's charred corpse.

In front of Lani's body, there was a gold pendant that was very conspicuous.

The pendant was left in front of Lani's body, where it could be seen at any time.

Perhaps this is how she stared at the amulet in the final moments before she abandoned her body.

Bai Shi squatted down and took the amulet from the charred corpse.

The golden amulet is engraved with a girl who is looking up at the night sky and chasing the stars and the moon in the sky.

One of the amulets in the Legend series, 'The Legend of the Stargazing Girl'.

And this is the story of 'Full Moon Queen' Lenara before she became queen.

The stargazing girl looks up at the night sky and walks, spending a journey chasing the stars.

Then she met Man Yue and became the queen.

The amulet engraved with this legend also possesses power, which can increase the wearer's intelligence by +5, which is quite practical.

Looking at the amulet in his hand, Bai Shi touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

According to the Black Knight, the 'Full Moon Queen' Reinara has a younger sister, the 'Double Moon Knight' Reinara.

There are many moons on the border, and each one is unique and does not interfere with each other.

Black moon, full moon, dark moon.

And the name Shuangyue, if it really is, indicates her power.

So these two moons probably refer to the moons of the two sisters?
So, has Laelana also found her own moon like her sister?
Looking at it this way, there are really a lot of moons on the border.

Bai Shi put away the 'Legend of the Stargazing Girl' amulet and turned his gaze to the charred corpse that Lani left on the top of the tower.

Bai Shi's eyes kept moving over Lani's body, observing her carefully.

Soon, Bai Shi saw the winding death curse marks on Lani's back.

It was a half-broken centipede ring, revealing the breath of death.

Looking at the death curse mark, Bai Shi began to recall the information about the death curse mark.

When a demigod dies for the first time, a curse mark will be carved on him.

According to common sense, it would be a complete circle of centipede injuries.

However, there were two demigods who died initially, so the curse mark was divided into two incomplete centipede wound rings.

Lani was the first dead person in terms of body, and the Prince of Death was the first dead person in terms of soul.

Now half of the Death Curse has been obtained, but the whereabouts of the other half is almost unknown.

Bai Shi has no intention of giving the curse of death to Fia.

The birth of the Deadborn was an accident, there is no such thing as sanity in those guys.

Bai Shi understands Fia's efforts to fight for the human rights of the Dead Born, but he cannot let the era of the Lurkers come.

The dead borns are running all over the place, which makes them feel really good. But what about the other residents of the border area?
Therefore, something like the 'Curse of Death', which has special meaning and power, must not be allowed to be obtained by the guys in Fia's group.

If possible, it would be best to have both death curses in hand.

In this case, the followers of the Dead Prince who are eager to usher in the Age of Hidden Ones will not be able to make any waves.

After all, even if only half of it was left, there was no telling what those guys could do with the power.

Fia could use two pieces of death curse marks to repair rune by hand, so even if there was only half of them, she could definitely use it.

However, based on the known information in the game, we can only get the half of the Death Curse that belongs to Lani.

The other half of the Deathly Curse is not something that players are asked to find in the game.

The missing half of the curse scar was found by D in the game.

He delegated the task of hunting the deadborn and collecting the dead roots to the players, withdrawing from the duties of hunting the deadborn.

During that time, he followed the mark of the centipede wound ring and finally found the missing half of the death curse.

Unfortunately, D found this half of the death curse mark, but was also targeted by Fia.

After cursing D to death, Feiya took away the curse mark, and that's how she got the half curse mark in her hand in the game.

D hasn't found that half of the curse yet and is still exploring.

Bai Shi has been following his progress all along, and this time he will not let Brother D die in the Round Table Hall for no apparent reason.

but……

Roger and D have now reconciled a lot, and they are looking for the curse of death together.

I just don't know whether Fia will get the news about the death curse through Roger's channels.

Even...will he be the one who hands the knife to D on behalf of the player?
Roger was really devoted to Fia and had been exploring "death".

But he is just one of Fiya's many heroes.

Bai Shi looked up at the sky and shook his head.

Roger, Roger, I hope you don't make a decision that you will regret.

Compared to what happened with D, Bai Shi is now facing a more pressing problem.

That is, how to remove the curse of death from Lani's back?
This thing is the mark of "death" left on Lani, something in the conceptual sense.

Strictly speaking, it is a part of Lani's body and is inseparable from her.

However, Bai Shi has never been very good at such conceptual things, and now there is no good way to strip them away.

Could it be possible... that he was taken away directly by a part of Lani's body?
That would be a bit too bizarre.

And even if it is transferred, how to preserve it?
Bai Shi gritted his teeth and didn't dare to put this thing on himself.

Although his body has been marked with various marks.

There is Lani's Moonlight Mark, Celine Shanks's Mark, the invalidated Michaela Mark, and the mark from the spirit world.

But the curse of death is completely different from them.

Even if this thing is harmless, it is still closely related to "death".

After thinking about it, Bai Shi decided not to act rashly for the time being.

There is no rush for this. I can wait until I find Lani and ask her directly how to transfer it.

Anyway, the Death Curse is safe here.

No one knew that the curse of death and the body abandoned by Lani were here.

Even if they knew, Professor Miriam in Kalia's study and the divine nobles guarding the Tower of Divine Bestowal were not pushovers.

Even if the elite 'Death Knights' under the Death Prince, who had fought against Bai Shi before, were brought over, they might not be able to break through the defense here.

Bai Shi made a decision, turned around and used the blessing to teleport out of the Lienia Divine Tower.
-
After Baizhi was teleported away, the God-skin noble on the bridge in front of the God-granting Tower finally woke up.

"hiss--"

As soon as he woke up, the pain all over his body suddenly stimulated his nerves, making him gasp.

Just a moment ago, I was sleeping soundly, and the next moment, I was in a painful reality. The gap was too big. Under the hypnosis of Tolina's water lily, the deep sleep like mud would make people forget everything and just immerse themselves in it.

At this moment, the Divine Skin Noble felt pain all over his body, and he remembered nothing.

It was as if someone had been treated roughly while sleeping.

Oh, yes, he was indeed beaten up before he fell asleep.

Recalling the terrifying guy just now, the Divine Skin Noble realized that he was hypnotized during the battle.

He immediately stood up from the ground, holding the divine leather sewing needle in his hand, and looked around vigilantly.

Seeing that Bai Shi had disappeared, the Divine Skin Noble slowly sat back on the ground.

Never mind. He followed Lani's instructions completely, so there's nothing we can do to stop him.

That guy also showed the evidence related to Lani. Although it is different from what Lani ordered, it should be fine.

It is estimated that after Lani issued the order not to allow anyone to go to the Tower of Divine Granting, she herself did not know that there would be a day when she would take the initiative to let people go to the Tower of Divine Granting.

What can he do as a wage earner?
-
Bai Shi used the blessing to teleport away from Lienia's God-granting Tower.

This time, Bai Shi appeared behind the Kalia Castle.

Next he would go to Reina's Magician Tower and from there he would go to the main stream of the Ansel River through the portal.

Lani had mentioned the tower to him before.

If nothing unexpected happens, she should have left a portal leading to the underground just like in the game.

Then the next step is to pick up the petite Lani figurine!
Suddenly, Bai Shi looked at the three sister magic towers and suddenly thought of someone.

I wonder if Servais is dead now?
If he is not dead, I will take out the method of making the amber secret medicine from him first.

Although Bai Shi does not have Amber Starlight yet, he does not intend to use the secret medicine on anyone.

But Bai Shi insists on the principle that it is possible to not use it, but it cannot be without it.

I guess only Servais in the border area can make this thing. If he dies, it will be out of print.

And who knows, it might come in handy in the future, so it’s better to keep it in stock.

If I have to say... Michaela is also a genius, isn't she?

Just treat it as a waste product of Servais before his death and try to squeeze out all his value.

Bai Shi changed direction and flew towards the direction of the Servis Magic Tower.

When Bai Shi arrived in front of the magic tower, he did not see Servis' body on the first floor of the magic tower.

This is where he usually stayed, and it was also where he was finally executed.

However, we cannot conclude that he is not dead. He may have died in the tower.

Bai Shi walked into Servis's magic tower and searched all the way up.

After Bai Shi explored the magic tower from top to bottom, he still couldn't find Servis' body.

Bai Shi was now certain that Servais was not dead yet.

But now he too was missing, not in his magic tower.

Bai Shi looked at the ruins in the distance from the top of the magic tower.

Since he wasn't in the Wizard's Tower, there was probably only one place left for him to be.

Bai Shi found the right place and came to the seemingly ordinary ruins.

After searching the ground, Bai Shi quickly determined that this was where Servais stored the puppets.

Bai Shi broke through the disguise of the basement where Servais was hiding among the ruins.

As the hidden magic was broken, a staircase leading underground appeared in front of Bai Shi.

Bai Shi didn't hesitate and walked straight in.

When Bai Shi walked into the basement, he saw Servais standing up hurriedly from beside a puppet.

Apparently, Servais discovered it when Bai Shi broke through the camouflage outside the basement.

Bai Shi looked at the disheveled Servis, and then at the pot man puppet beside him.

Bai Shi opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

"…your fetish… no, orientation…"

"Well...don't worry, I'll try my best not to discriminate against your orientation."

Servis looked at Bai Shi, sweat breaking out under his mask.

He was just taking care of the puppets and preparing to appreciate their beauty.

He had just selected the puppet that he was going to "taste" today when the disguise of the basement was revealed.

Servais was furious and wanted to teach the guy who disturbed him a lesson.

But when he saw the appearance of the person who came, he no longer had such plans.

Servais swallowed his saliva, and his voice, which had been extremely arrogant and contemptuous, became weak at this moment.

“You…Who are you?!”

"Why did you break into my basement?"

After exhausting all his strength, Servais finally squeezed out these two sentences.

'That was close. I almost forgot I hadn't seen him like this before!'

Bai Shi touched his chin and asked Servais:
"I want to ask who you are."

"Why? There's no sign outside that this is your basement."

"You don't even have a sign, why can't I come in?"

Servais was powerless to refute.

How could he dare to store the puppets openly under Lani's nose?

If someone else said this to him, Servais would definitely use a pyroxene comet to tell him what the majesty of a magic professor is.

But the person in front of him was ignorant.

Although they only had that brief contact in Kalia Castle, it was enough for him to recognize the difference in strength between the two.

And if we start fighting now, the babies will definitely be affected.

So Servis had no choice but to grit his teeth and say to Bai Shi:

"I'm sorry for not marking it—"

"So now, can I ask you to leave?"

Bai Shi's eyes kept scanning the basement.

Seeing Bai Shi cast his eyes on his beloved collection so unscrupulously, Servais dared not say anything.

In order to facilitate maintenance, he had taken off many of the puppets' clothes, and they had not been put back on yet.

If the other person shares the same hobby as him and can appreciate the beauty of puppets, then Servais actually doesn't mind sharing it with them.

It is a pleasure for Servais to have a high-level puppet that others don't have and enjoy the admiration of others.

In fact, this made him, who was full of inferiority complex, more happy than appreciating the beauty of the puppet itself.

But... for those mediocre people who cannot understand this kind of beauty, the evaluation is always the same:
Disgusting.

Servais lowered his head slightly and clenched his fists.

However, Bai Shi's next words made him raise his head again.

"Looks like he's an expert at making puppets."

"Do you have a way to turn a powerful person into a puppet?"

"Like... a demigod?"
