Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 365 Complete Change
Looking at the corpse specimen of the 'land god', Bai Shi was amazed.

In this huge collection of species, there are many creatures of various shapes.

These are the species that emerged when the melting pot of life flourished in the past. They are rarely seen in the current boundary areas and are completely extinct.

Messermo smiled when he saw everyone's curious expressions about the creatures in the species collection.

“Feel free to visit, just don’t get lost.”

As it happens, getting to the top floor where his secret room is located also requires passing through most of the vault.

Although Messermo had someone build a convenient, direct elevator, since they were all interested, he would just show it all the way up.

However, before leaving this floor, Bai Shi suddenly saw an elevator nearby.

The elevator was built in the corner of the room. It was very hidden and no one cared about it.

Not only that, there were no people nearby and the place was surrounded.

However, judging by the ceiling of the room, this lift must lead to somewhere below.

Bai Shi pointed at the elevator that led to an unknown place and asked:

"Does this species repository have an underground area?"

Messermo's brows furrowed, as if recalling a bad memory.

"Under there..."

“That’s the area that’s being treated.”

"You don't want to see that."

Hearing this, Melina immediately realized what her brother was talking about.

"Are they rare people?"

Messermo glanced sideways at Melina.

"……Um."

"Do you still remember what happened here?"

Melina shook her head and said:

"I really have no memory of what happened in the Shadow Land."

“We know because we’ve seen it and healed it.”

Messemo couldn't help showing a surprised expression on his face, and asked in disbelief:
"You...are healed?"

Melina nodded and continued:
"Yes, after we arrived at the Shadow Land, we were in the Cemetery Plain, which is near the Tower Town."

"We found survivors in a secret prison and learned about the tragedy."

"After that, we tried treatment, but it didn't work very well at first."

"Fortunately, we finally found a way. Thanks to Bai Shi and Irena's power, we were able to cure them."

"They are now in a nearby church, being cared for by the doctors and perfumers brought by Bai Shi."

Messermo looked at Bai Shi, half believing and half doubting.

Ever since they rescued the survivors, even with the wisdom of the entire Shadow City, they were helpless.

But how long has it been since they entered the Shadow Land and contacted the survivors?

It’s not that Messermo didn’t believe Melina’s words.

Seeing the miserable plight of his compatriots, he naturally hoped very much that they could be healed.

It's just... this is too unbelievable.

When Bai Shi heard that there were still a few people waiting to be cured, he was the first to walk towards the elevator.

"There is no time to lose, let's go get treatment first."

"The sooner you get treatment, the sooner you can recover."

Messermo nodded and followed closely.

Anyway, we will know whether it can be cured after we go down there.

On the elevator, Messermo also asked about the survivors rescued by Bai Shi and others:
"Where did you find the survivors?"

"During the holy war, my army searched the town of Tower from top to bottom, but I didn't expect that some of them were still left behind."

Melina thought for a moment and replied:
"Northwest of the bridge, under the cliff on the other side of the lake."

"That prison is very hidden. The entrance is not in Tower Town, but is located underground in Tower Town."

Messermo thought about it and immediately understood the location.

"I see, so it's over there..."

"It was my fault that I didn't find that place during the previous jihad."

"Luckily you found them."

As they were talking, the elevator finally reached the ground floor.

Although it was a basement, it was surprisingly brightly lit by candles and not dark at all.

In addition, the space in the basement is not small.

Similar to the Round Table Hall, it has two floors connected by stairs.

A large number of weapons and armor were arranged on the first floor of the basement, which was obviously used as an equipment warehouse.

As for the lower floor, it was originally a church where battlefield priests spread the faith of the golden tree, and was later converted into a treatment room.

Bai Shi and others continued to go deeper under the leadership of Messermo and officially arrived at the treatment room on the second underground floor.

Both sides of the treatment room were filled with a large number of beds, and rare people covered in blood and flesh were receiving care from perfumers.

However, perhaps the long and futile treatment made them face the reality, and several rare survivors with twisted bodies were not lying on the hospital beds.

They were pacing slowly, playing with the little pots in the empty center of the treatment room.

This is also one of their few and only entertainments.

The perfumers did not stop them, but just silently observed the status of the few people.

Facing their helpless illnesses for countless years, the torture and destruction they endured were equally severe.

Perfumers, as physicians of the highest order, have a strong medical ethics, and therefore feel even more distressed when they are unable to do anything.

Looking at the sparsely populated people here, Bai Shi shook his head slightly.

These should be the survivors who were rescued during the jihad.

The progress of treatment has always been slow, and even the wisdom and strength of the entire Shadow City are helpless.

But after so much time has passed, I am more stable mentally and spiritually.

Of course, there are also patients who choose to be radical because they cannot accept this situation.

Several strange-looking people were lying on the hospital beds, and their unique appearance made Bai Shi see them at a glance.

Most of the flesh on their bodies had been peeled off, and their human forms could barely be seen.

According to Messermo, this was an attempt they took the initiative to request.

If I have to live with this distorted appearance, I might as well give it a daring try, just to be able to live like a human again.

It’s a pity that the final effect is still unsatisfactory.

Seeing Messermo coming, the perfumers in charge of care came forward to salute.

Messermo waved his hand and told them to wait for their orders.

Then Messermo looked at Bai Shi again, still feeling a little uneasy, and asked:

“How do you carry out treatment?”

"Will it be cured but leave some other harms behind..."

Facing Messermo's uneasiness, Bai Shi smiled slightly. "Don't worry, I will definitely recover completely."

"Apart from a little pain during the process, there are no other harms at all."

"Ask the perfumers to prepare some pain-relieving scented medicine."

Bai Shi gave Irena a look, indicating that treatment should begin.

Irena nodded, walked over to one of the rare survivors, and took her hand.

Spiritual energy continued to gather into the rare man's body, marking the difference between the two types of flesh and blood, just as it had done countless times in the past.

Bai Shi summoned the Great Rune and slowly activated it, while Melina also cast the Little Golden Tree to comfort her compatriots.

The golden light once again shone in the abandoned church, making it extremely holy.

Realizing what was about to happen, the perfumers held their breath, fearing that it would affect everyone's performance.

They prayed silently in their hearts for a miracle to happen.

Under Bai Shi's gravity magic, the flesh and blood of the rare people and the horned people were separated.

The rare man's flesh and blood were preserved and gradually reshaped back to his original normal form.

The flesh and blood of the horned people were directly disintegrated and destroyed, breaking down into inactive tiny molecules.

With Bai Shi's treatment, the rare man's appearance gradually returned to normal and he looked as he should.

The sunlight shone on the scarred body, and the rare man's injuries were completely healed after his body was reshaped, and the treatment was completely over.

Seeing the miracle actually happen before their eyes, the perfumers ignored their image and cried with excitement.

No one understands the pain these survivors have suffered better than them.

Messermo let out a long breath, and most of the depression in his heart immediately dissipated.

Looking at Bai Shi who was immediately treating the next survivor, Messermo's expression was extremely complicated.
-
In the next few days, Bai Shi and others simply lived in this basement.

There were a lot of rare people in the basement, far more than the ones Bai Shi and Melina had rescued from prison.

With such a huge number, the workload is staggering.

Working for several consecutive days was not a difficult task for Bai Shi. As long as Irena had a good rest, he could start working at any time.

Finally, after four days, the treatment was completely over.

All the rare survivors in Shadow City have returned to their original state.

During this period of time, Bai Shi had also sent people to pick up the few people in the church and have them live in Shadow City.

As members of the same ethnic group, it is better for them to live together, which will better help their psychological recovery.

After several days of treatment, Messermo's cognition improved significantly.

If before he hated and resisted the identity of the White-conscious Lightless One, now he feels sorry that he is a Lightless One.

Apart from his identity as the Lightless One, Messermo found that he could not find any flaws in Baishi.

If Bai Shi was not the Lightless One, then Messermo would definitely be happy to have such a brother-in-law with noble character and powerful strength.

Although Messermo still felt gnashing his teeth when he thought about Melina being abducted by Bai Shi for no apparent reason.

But he is indeed a very good person, as Melina said.
-
After finishing the treatment, Messermo once again invited Bai Shi and others to go to his room.

This was a treat that should have been done on the first day.

Bai Shi naturally agreed readily.

But Irena was too tired, and in order to avoid suspicion, she took Liliana to Shadow City to rest.

This time, Messemo did not plan to take Bai Shi and others to climb up the species collection level by level.

As the master here, Messermo certainly knew how rugged the road to the top floor and his dark room was.

Not only do you have to walk through several floors in the vault, but you also have to pass through the external staircase structure outside the tower.

So for convenience, Messemo led the two of them to an elevator in the species collection.

This was built specifically for the convenience of audience with him and is not usually used.

The elevator went directly to the top floor of the species collection, and to the bridge leading to the Messermo darkroom.

After returning to his room, Messemo turned to look at Bai Shi and Melina and said:
“There are absolutely no outsiders now.”

"If you want to know anything about the Shadow Land, just ask me."

Bai Shi was naturally not polite and planned to take this opportunity to collect various information.

Bai Shi first asked a very urgent question:
"My previous armor couldn't keep up with the change in combat intensity and has broken down."

"If possible, I hope to find some excellent materials and reforge a set of armor that is strong enough for combat."

Now that his stats have improved a lot, there is almost no room for improvement.

However, the strength does not depend entirely on the body, but also on many other external factors, such as weapons and protective gear.

Next, facing Ge Fulei who might return at any time, Bai Shi believes that it is necessary to make full preparations.

Even Ge Fulei wore armor obediently in the first stage, so Bai Shi certainly wouldn't start fighting shirtless.

If you really want to have fun, at worst you can just take off your clothes together in the second stage.

Messermo glanced at the robe on Bai Shi which was only for decoration and understood what was happening.

After thinking for a while, Messermo took out a huge map from the room.

The two winged snakes each used their heads to support one side, pushing the map open in front of Bai Shi and Melina.

This is a map of the Shadow Land, which records the entire Shadow Land.

However, there are many areas on the map where details are vague, and it is obvious that the cartographer did not explore the area in depth.

Messermo pointed the spear in his hand at the map, marking the location of a relic.

Looking at that place, Messermo said:
“This is the remains of an ancient iron meteorite forging site.”

"The forging ruins are the remains left by giants and mountain goblins. They were the places where they once forged."

"After the Giant War, it was completely under our control."

"In ancient times, the ancient iron meteorite was the weapon of the gods, which was enough to prove its superiority."

"This relic contains a large amount of ancient iron meteorites, which are excellent materials for forging weapons or armor."

Messermo paused and continued:
"It's just that the preservation conditions of ancient iron meteorites are special."

“If it is not a finished product, it must be preserved in the furnace fire of the forging ruins.”

“And we don’t have any craftsmen who can master the forging technique, so we can’t use it. We can only keep it in the half-abandoned ruins.”

"Ancient iron meteorites require a very high level of forging technology, and may also require the use of a forging table from the ruins."

"If you don't have a blacksmith who can forge it, I can help you find some other materials."

Although Messermo said it was difficult to forge, Bai Shi didn't care.

He is familiar with the art of forging.

Although Bai Shi doesn't know how to forge, he can always find two forging masters to do the work.

If he wants to forge armor, Bai Shi plans to ask old man Iggy to do it.

On the surface, Grandpa Iggy is an ordinary troll blacksmith, but in fact his true identity is a real giant.

He just used a secret technique to shrink his body.

Compared to forging weapons, Grandpa Iggy is better at armor. Bai Shi’s previous armor was forged by him.

And using this material that he is very familiar with will surely bring unexpected surprises to Bai Shi.

Nodding, Bai Shi asked Messermo the second question:
"I want to know if you have come into contact with a demigod named Michaela."

　Why is there another exam the day after tomorrow (sad)
