Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 377 Why did the achievement suddenly increase by one?
After pushing open the door of Manus Metier Cathedral, Bai Shi felt refreshed.

After looking back at Ymir sitting in the dim church and Yoran who was full of hostility towards him, Bai Shi left along the way.

Just now, Bai Shi had learned all the magic that Ymir was willing to demonstrate.

Of course, in reality, I only learned two types of finger magic.

Although Ymir is also willing to teach Baishi other magic, including the disappearance of Broom Star and Miriam.

However, when Bai Shi thought about the fact that he would soon have to go find Lani and learn directly from her, he only learned the most unique finger magic.

I have to say that Ymir's finger magic is indeed unique.

If you look at the power alone, the Pyroxene Claws are not that strong, but they are very useful.

Not only can it be used in a variety of situations and demonstrate excellent performance, but it can also be used as a special countermeasure in specific situations.

Thinking back to the teaching just now, Bai Shi still felt a little uncomfortable.

Because the teaching just now was... inexplicably normal, too normal.

The two of them acted as if nothing had happened and exchanged magic in a very friendly manner, while learning the Pyroxene Claws by the way.

Not only does she have the temperament of a male mother, but Ymir also has the patience of a 'mother'.

This did somewhat break down some of the prejudices people had against him, and they truly felt his generous "love".

If there was such a profession as kindergarten teacher in the border area, perhaps Ymir could have made a name for herself.

It’s a pity that not only is the Shadow Land completely sealed off, there aren’t many living people even in the border area.

Only after walking far enough did Bai Shi put away his magician's attire and took off his pyroxene head mask.

After removing the disguise and returning to your original appearance, it is time to get back to doing what you should do.

Bai Shi's figure floated in the air and flew towards Shadow City again, preparing to return to the border area and go to the Yatan Plateau.

The last time he defeated the lava earth dragon, Bai Shi had already activated the blessing leading to the plateau, so he could go there at any time.

However, I have to go back to Shadow City to pick up Melina later, so it is not convenient to use the blessing to teleport directly.

Fortunately, that road was also completely cleared and unobstructed.

Even for Melina, who has not yet gone there to light up the blessing, it would be very convenient to take that road.

By the way, Bai Shi also began to think, he brought a lot of people this time, should he take some of them back?

Melina must be taken back with her. She has been wanting to return to the plateau for a long time.

However, the medical staff brought here this time may need to stay for a while.

They need to take care of the rare people until they can live a normal life, and their help may also be needed in the subsequent reconstruction of the wizard village.

When all this is over, it is up to them to choose to stay in Shadow City or return to Stonewell.

As for Hilbert, she had already said goodbye to Bai Shi and would be exploring the Shadow Land for a while.

Bai Shi thought about it and it seemed that all he needed to do was ask Irena and Liliana for their opinions.

Maybe... should I ask my brother-in-law if he has any plans to visit the border area?
If Messermo wants to go, we can take him on a private visit.

And there's the mysterious 'Double Moon Knight' Lailana, whom Bai Shi has never seen in person.

As the former Princess Kalia, I don’t know if she wants to go back to her parents’ home.

If there were more people, Bai Shi could have formed a sightseeing group to go back together.

Thinking of the 'Double Moon Knight' Lailana, Bai Shi suddenly felt a headache.

Lailana is the partner of her brother-in-law Messermo, but she is also Lani's aunt...

The relationship is so different that there is a generation gap between them.

If he and Lani confirm their relationship in the future, should he follow Lani and call her aunt, or should he follow Melina's relationship and call her uncle and sister-in-law?
And if we consider the half-body relationship between Marica and Radagon, and the partnership between Radagon and Lenara...

It seems that no matter from which angle you look at it, the relationship between them is too complicated.

Melina and Lani can even be said to be true half-sisters.

Bai Shi had previously complained about the large-scale family ethics drama on the border, but he did not expect that he would now be in the vortex.

While thinking about random things, Bai Shi flew rapidly.

However, at this moment, a prompt sound suddenly came from his mind.

This sound effect is very familiar to Bai Shi, and it makes me very excited every time I hear it.

Because this is the sound effect that appears when an achievement is achieved, which means that the number of Fengling Yueying's times has increased by one.

However, the voice that he had been looking forward to so much in the past now only brought confusion to Bai Shi.

He hasn't done anything yet?!

Looking back at his actions just now, Bai Shi was very confused.

Even if Ymir is a boss, she shouldn't suddenly jump out when she's halfway there.

The achievements displayed publicly have nothing to do with the Shadowlands, and hidden achievements are even less likely to exist.

Bai Shi stopped in the air and turned his attention to the panel.

After finding out the truth, Bai Shi touched his chin with a strange expression.

I saw that among the achievements lined up in a row, one more one was indeed lit up.

The newly completed achievement before his eyes was - 'Ancestor Spirit'.

“It’s actually the ancestral spirit…?”

Ancestral spirits are a very magical kind of life.

Born from death, and drawing its strength from it, is life not bound by the Golden Law.

At the same time, ancestral spirits are also revered by underground residents as a belief.

However, the ancestral spirits are not always active in the border areas, and need human means to revive them.

Bai Shi knew how to revive the ancestral spirits, but he never did it.

After all, in Bai Shi’s eyes, the ancestral spirits were not strong, and they were not even enemies.

Bai Shi only regards the ancestral spirit as a moving achievement, the fruit of the number of times obtained, which can be picked at will.

Even if an ancestor spirit that had been strengthened by a corrupt god and transformed into a container was Bai Shi, he had killed one before, not to mention an ordinary ancestor spirit.

Therefore, even if it is left alone, there will be no problem, and Bai Shi has never tried to solve it.

Probably only when the number of Feng Ling Yue Ying is almost exhausted, will Bai Shi go to harvest it.

"but why?"

Bai Shi is now in the shadow land, but he has not taken any action.

So it could only be that someone else defeated the ancestor spirit, and in the end it was him who was blamed.

Bai Shi suddenly remembered his previous achievements in conquering or resolving issues peacefully.

These include cases like the Red Wolf of Radagon, mother-in-law Lenara, and the Dragon Soldiers of Noxstella.

Could it be that the criteria for achieving the achievement were more lenient than he imagined, and he didn't even need to take action himself?

After thinking about it, Bai Shi suddenly felt relieved.

If it was really done by the forces under his command, then what's wrong with that?
If you want to get involved in the underworld, influence is naturally part of your strength.

Now Bai Shi was more curious about who defeated the ancestor spirit? And he didn't even give the order.

Although its strength is quite weak among many achievement bosses, the ancestor spirit is not an elite monster commonly seen on the roadside.

The upper limit of the ancestral spirit is very high, with the existence of the king of the ancestral spirits, and the lower limit is not low either, starting from a top hero.

The status of the Ancestral King is probably similar to that of the mother of the dead birds - the twin birds.

Perhaps he is a messenger of an external god, or the embodiment of some law, a force in charge of part of the life and death cycle system. He must be a powerful enemy.

You have to understand that after being transformed by the corrupted gods, the ancestral spirits that served as vessels of corruption were only at the peak of demigod level. As for ordinary ancestral spirits, they were probably only at the level that top heroes could defeat. The strong ones were close to demigods, and even Greg could defeat them.

Although it is an easy task for Bai Shi now, there are only a few people under his command who can do this, and it seems that they have no motivation to do so.

Or was it an army siege?

However, without Bai Shi's own order, the army could not be dispatched.

After thinking about it, Bai Shi finally shook his head.

Anyway, I'm going back to Stonewell soon, so I'll just wait and see the results then.
-
Just a little while ago, something strange happened in the underground world at the border.

In the forest of believers under Nimgfu, large groups of ancestral people prostrated themselves on the ground and knelt before the altar.

Inside the altar were the remains of a gigantic wild beast, which had long since turned into a mummy-like state after so many years.

The corpse's abdomen was cut open and all the internal organs were taken out, leaving only flesh, blood, bones, and the pair of huge horns.

From the looks of it, that thing couldn't be deader.

However, at this moment, a faint blue-green aura rose from the horns of the giant beast's corpse.

The people of the ancestors bowed down in worship, and the priests held the skulls of the young ancestors in their hands and sprinkled soul mist.

With the spring water sprinkled by the priests, the shriveled corpses gradually became plump and full of vitality.

All these abnormalities were seen by the Faded Ones.

The two Faded Ones each held a telescope in their hands, standing behind the ruins in the distance and observing the movements of the Ancestral People.

Even though the Ancestral Spirits had excellent eyesight and could shoot an arrow from 800 meters away, they were still somewhat inferior to technology like telescopes.

Putting down the telescope, the two faded people looked at each other in silence.

Then the two of them raised their telescopes and looked again.

After a while, one of the lightly dressed faded ones spoke first:
"Those braziers were lit by the Ancestral Spirits themselves."

"They clearly tried to stop us from trying to light it before..."

"Something's not right..."

The Faded Man wearing thick armor beside him put down his telescope and sighed helplessly.

"Nonsense, I can see the green light above the corpse over there without the telescope. They must be planning something."

"Then what should we do?"

"What else can we do? This is obviously beyond our ability to handle. Let's get some help."

"Indeed... I'll report this to Stonewell first, and you continue to pay attention."

The Faded One who spoke first put away his telescope, quietly retreated, and made a gesture to the air from a safe place.

As he moved, a storm eagle swooped down rapidly and landed in front of him.

After writing the message in the army's secret language, the Faded One bound it to the Stormhawk's talons.

Next, the Storm Eagle will immediately return to Stonewell with the information, and they only need to wait for the decision or reinforcements from above.

Ever since Bai Shi's underground exploration plan ended, the endless stream of Faded Ones have left and are looking for other suitable places to explore.

Only a small number of faded ones are still here to continue collecting supplies in exchange for runes.

Of course, among these Faded Ones there were some specially left by Stonewell to monitor and ensure that there were no unusual movements among the residents of the underground world.

These faded ones were nominally recruited freely, but in reality they were all selected from the Silver Knights, commonly known as plainclothes officers.

After all, this was not a place that was conquered by force, and the relationship between the two sides is relatively ambiguous.

As early as the beginning, Bai Shi had given orders not to actively attack the indigenous people.

It would be best if we could gently get used to each other's presence.

But if the other party has a stronger reaction, Stonewell will also take action.
-
The people of the ancestral spirits were excited as they watched the ancestral spirits growing fur and skin.

A few days ago, the priests received an oracle.

The ancestral spirits are about to return from reincarnation and give birth to life again.

When the time came, they lit the brazier and performed a ceremony that would bring the ancestral spirits back from the dead.

During the long wait, the corpse grew most of its flesh and blood and finally staggered to its feet.

The ancestor spirit continued to fill out its body. Long snow-white hair covered its body, and tiny hybrid horns spread out from its flesh and blood.

Soon, a giant elk-like beast stood firm, the reincarnation ritual of life and death was successful, and the ancestral spirit had been completely resurrected.

Seeing the ancestor spirit return from the death, the ancestor spirit's people all cheered and sincerely admired this budding miracle.

Looking at the majestic and sacred life, the ancestors stood up and danced to celebrate its birth.

As for the plainclothes duo in the distance, they already felt the pressure from the ancestral spirits and were sweating coldly.

"What is this……"

"Hurry up and retreat further away. It will be terrible if we are discovered."

However, what no one present expected was that an uninvited guest was about to break into the ceremony.

A series of heavy footsteps like thunder suddenly sounded from afar, rushing violently towards the altar.

The people of the ancestors turned their heads to look at the place where the sound came from, only to see the shadow of a huge monster approaching rapidly in the distant forest.

The figure was taller than the trees, rushing forward, ignoring any obstacles and clearing a path.

Finally, a giant wolf covered with soft green hair came through the forest and came to the altar to confront the ancestral spirits.

Looking at the giant wolf, the Ancestral People were shocked.

Not only were the ancestors surprised, but the plainclothes duo in the distance were also extremely shocked.

The faded one in thick armor looked at his companion and asked:

"You shook it back?"

His companion beside him looked at him and pointed at himself unconfidently.

"……I?"

Just as the two were hesitating, a gentle female voice came from behind:

"Don't worry, soldiers, you're doing great."

The two turned around and saw Celine Sanx standing in front of them in human form, with the Storm Eagle standing on her arm.

The two faded ones naturally recognized Celine Sanx, who often spread the faith, and half-knelt in greeting.

Celine Sanx released the Storm Eagle, signaled the two warriors to stand up, and then paid attention to the situation over there.

Even Celine Shanks couldn't arrive instantly.

In fact, Schiff had sensed it long before the ancestors began the ceremony, and he ran excitedly all the way from Stonewell.

Celine Sanx looked at Shiv who was confronting the ancestral spirit in the distance, and felt a little expectant.

The ancestral spirit is a mystery that exists outside the golden tree.
Life sprouts from death, and life sprouts from life. This is what life should be like.

And Schiff is a life that belongs to the same system as the ancestral spirits.

Just like real wolves and deer, the two lives have been competing with each other since the distant past.

Deer eat grass, wolves eat deer, and eventually the wolf's body will be devoured by the grass.

Life needs to sprout and also needs trials.

Only those who survive are qualified to become heirs.

This is a battle that will determine the existence of the ancestral spirits, and will also be Shiv's rite of passage.
