Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 397 Valkyrie's Prosthetic Hand
Millicent gave up thinking about where the food was coming from and looked at Patch.

Since she had run into him, she could just ask about the prosthetic hand.

"Mr. Patch, is there any news about the prosthetic hand?"

"If there is any news, I hope to leave as soon as possible."

After hearing Millicent's words, Laya finally noticed her right hand.

Under the robe that Bai Shi had given Millicent before, the right sleeve was empty.

Her attention had been on something else just now, and she only now realized that Millicent had only one arm.

Laya covered her mouth in shock. She didn't expect Miss Millicent...

Then, as if realizing that her surprised action might hurt Millicent, Laya quickly lowered her hand and hid it behind her back.

Fortunately, no one present paid attention to her actions.

Patch smiled at Millicent and said:

"Mmmmm, Millicent, you came at the perfect time."

"I just got some information from a guy yesterday, and you came today."

"Hehehe, I have to say this is also a kind of fate."

Upon hearing that there was news about the prosthetic hand, Millicent's eyes lit up and she asked excitedly:

"Is that so? That's great."

"Do tell me about the prosthetic hand."

"As for Rune as a reward, I have also prepared it."

Millicent took out several large runes from her bag and showed them their charming golden glow to Patch.

These were runes that she and Alexander had collected during their travels.

Since Alexander had no need to spend the Rune, all of it belonged to Millicent.

Millicent was also very confident about the number of these runes and believed that it would definitely satisfy Mr. Patch.

After all, nearly 20,000 runes have been accumulated here.

For the faders, whose material trading units are generally 'hundreds' or 'thousands', this is a huge sum of money.

Millicent took out Rune in one go, and had no intention of bargaining at all.

Even if Rune had to sacrifice everything, as long as he could get the news about the prosthetic hand, these material possessions were not important at all.

Who would have thought that faced with the huge reward, Patch waved his hand in an extremely abnormal way.

"Oh my, we're actually talking about compensation..."

“Even though we only walked together for a while, we built such a deep bond.”

"So this time, just consider this message as a gift from me to you."

"After all, I also want to see how powerful you are in your entirety."

Faced with such a huge number of runes, it would be a lie for Patch to say he wasn't tempted.

This number would make any fader smile.

If, if this were an ordinary situation, he would definitely agree to it right away.

Any hesitation for even a second would be disrespectful to Rune.

However, for Patch at this moment, there were things more important than Rune, so he had to give up.

Patch admitted that he was indeed a greedy person and a bit crazy, but he still knew what was important and what was not.

Millicent hesitated after hearing what Patch said.

"Isn't this... not good?"

"After all, it was me who asked you to help me find the information, but you didn't give me any reward..."

While Millicent was still hesitating, Bai Shi already knew that Patch must have other thoughts in mind.

Bai Shi shook his head, Millicent was still too naive.

Or rather, she didn't know enough about what kind of guy Patch was.

So Bai Shi smiled and asked Patch:
"You're definitely not that generous. What do you think?"

"You might as well just say it directly, so you don't have to think about it later."

Being exposed by Bai Shi, Patch was not embarrassed at all, he just smiled and said:

"Hehe, as expected, nothing can be hidden from your eyes..."

"Then I'll say it openly."

Patch looked at Millicent, smiled flatteringly and said:

"Actually, I happen to have something I want nearby."

“But it’s not very convenient for me to travel…”

“Although I am doing pretty well here at Volcano Residence, I am still able to make a living.”

"But I've been doing business in the mansion, and there are a lot of people watching me..."

"As long as I leave the Volcano Residence, I will probably be eaten up completely."

After selling out the miserable, Patch licked his lips and continued:

"So I thought, why don't you guys help me get it..."

"Just consider it as offsetting the cost of the intelligence, hehe."

Seeing that Patch was confident of winning, Bai Shi chuckled and couldn't help but want to tease him.

"Hehe, Mr. Patch, I have to remind you of your deal."

"The information is only worth a few hundred runes, but hiring someone to do something is more than that."

"Millicent's strength is not weak. At least most people in the Volcano Residence cannot reach her current level."

"This deal isn't equal, is it?"

Patch's smile twitched twice, and finally he looked deflated.

I've been seen through. This is a bit troublesome...

Patch was a little panicked and a little unsure.

He wasn't sure whether Bai Shi was joking or really intended to seek justice.

This was indeed his little trick.

That place is quite dangerous, and he doesn't want to take any risks. This operation has very little risk for him and can also save expenses.

However, if he really wanted to trade at an equal value, he really had nothing to offer.

Patch looked embarrassed, and spoke solemnly in a rare moment:

"Hee... don't say that."

"I'm sorry, I really can't help it."

“That’s really where I can’t do anything…”

After hearing Patch's request and understanding the whole story, Millicent smiled:
"Mr. Baishi, please stop teasing Mr. Patch."

"It seems like this is something very important to him, otherwise he wouldn't be so nervous that he couldn't see Mr. Bai Shi's joke."

Turning to look at Patch, Millicent nodded and said:

"I think there's no problem."

"After all, I will definitely go to the destination myself to find the prosthetic hand."

"Since we're going to encounter enemies and dangers anyway, it doesn't hurt to bring one more thing with you."

Patch heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Millicent's exact answer.

The annoying smile returned to his face again.

"Well, that's great."

"Then I won't keep you in suspense. I'll tell you the location of the prosthetic hand."

Patch pulled out a map from his waist bag, squatted down and spread it out in front of the people.

Patch's finger pointed to the gap between the Volcano Residence and the Yatan Plateau.

There, there was a city sitting in a green poisonous swamp, extremely strange and eerie.

"The prosthetic hand is right here, in Sunshade City."

"I had suspected there would be one there before, but I only received the confirmed news yesterday."

Patch introduced Millicent:

"The Mare family that inherited Sunshade City has been executioners for generations."

"At the same time, the men of the Marley family are born to coexist with illness."

"This generation's head of the family, Mare Mare, was particularly attracted to Marennia and became extremely obsessed with her."

"It is said that during the Shattering War, Maremare finally came into contact with the Holy Tree and Marennia as he wished."

"I don't know how, but he got on board the Holy Tree and got what he wanted."

"According to the information I got, he seems to have a room full of prosthetic hands..."

Listening to Patch's description, Millicent's pretty face couldn't help but reveal a hint of disgust.

Hmm... I didn't expect there are such people in the world.

What can I do with my replacement prosthetic hands? What a strange hobby...

And she also has a close connection with Malenia, which makes it even stranger.

Seeing Millicent's expression, Patch laughed.

When he heard the news, he felt the same way. No, any normal person would think so.

Patch quickly comforted:
"Well, well, as long as it works."

"Just like my conclusion about food, don't worry too much about the source." "Sometimes thinking too much can lead to unnecessary stress, hehehe."

"He has so many prosthetic arms. They must have been replaced by Marennia since she was a child."

"On the bright side, you'll definitely be able to find the perfect size prosthetic hand there."

After thinking for a while, Patch continued:

"And the good news is that Mare Mare isn't that strong."

"Although he inherited a large family fortune, he can only barely maintain the strength of a hero, and is stuck there."

"He was only able to rely on an ancestral execution sword and the difficult terrain of Sunshade City. Otherwise, he would have been wiped out long ago."

Millicent exhaled, and then her anticipation returned.

"Yes, you are right."

"It's a good thing there are so many prosthetic hands so I can find the best one for me."

"I think with the prosthetic arm, I will be able to perform perfect sword skills again."

Bai Shi listened silently without saying anything.

Patch's introduction is pretty much the same, but there's something missing.

The Sunshade City had long been occupied by Ironthorn Aronmel, and even the ancestral execution sword had been taken away.

Even Maremare himself was driven out of Sunshade City and could only rage helplessly outside.

Elon Meier did a really good job of keeping the news secret; not a single word of it leaked out.

But it doesn’t matter whether they know about these things or not.

Anyway, Bai Shi has to go with him.

'Ironthorn' Ailonmeier, to Bai Shi, that is truly a treasure.

They thought Maremare was not strong, and Bai Shi looked at Elonmel as if he were a stray dog on the side of the road.

It is an achievement boss in itself, and can easily bring a chance to Bai Shi.

The execution sword seized in his hand is one of the "legendary weapons" and is part of the weapon collection achievement.

No matter what the purpose is, Bai Shi should go there.

Millicent took the map, looked at Patch again, and asked:
"So, what is it that Mr. Patch wants?"

Patch smiled and took out another piece of paper, on which was clearly drawn something that looked like a musical instrument.

It was a percussion instrument that looked a bit like a clapper, made of two pieces of copper discs connected by ropes.

Looking at the painting that was carefully drawn with a brush so that it could be accurately identified, Bai Shi nodded silently.

As expected, Pachi, you still can't forget her.

Millicent didn't know the inside story, she just accepted it silently, and then promised Patch seriously:

"Don't worry, I will definitely bring this thing back."

Patch stood up and clapped his hands.

"Well, then it's settled."

"You guys are going to explore the Volcano Residence?"

Bai Shi nodded and admitted it:

"Since we are here, we should at least meet the owner of this place."

But at this time, Laya, who had been unable to get a word in, pinched her fingers and said a little embarrassedly:

"Ah, actually, I can't see Lady Tanis yet..."

"Usually we greet newly arrived heroes at a dinner to welcome them."

"So I'll take you to the guest room first, okay?"

Of course, Millicent had no problem with that, so she turned to see Bai Shi's reaction.

Bai Shi thought about it and nodded in agreement.

I wandered around the Volcano Residence for a while and waited for Ashimi to bring back the things.

So the two of them, led by Laya, walked into the Volcano Mansion.

Patch waved, then squatted at the door and watched them enter the Volcano Residence.

Watching Bai Shi's figure disappear behind the closed door, Patch curled his lips.

The Volcano Mansion is a devil's den where people are eaten without leaving any bones. He knows this best.

But now... with such a great god invited in, Patch began to pray that some dregs would be left for the Volcano Residence.

But it doesn’t matter what happens to the Volcano Residence. I hope Tanis doesn’t provoke him.

Patch couldn't help but feel a little worried.

But Tanis is not like Laya, she will definitely recognize Bai Shi's identity, so she shouldn't offend him...
-
Bai Shi observed the interior of the Volcano Residence all the way and nodded frequently.

The decoration in the Volcano Mansion is very extraordinary, and can even be called quite luxurious.

Although it seemed a bit depressing under the dim red candlelight, luxurious decorations could be seen everywhere, and even the tables and chairs were very exquisite.

If Rodel is the authentic traditional style of Golden Tree, Kalia is the elegant and simple aristocratic style.

The decoration concept of the Volcano Residence is pure luxury, luxury built up with a large amount of assets.

Bai Shi could only say that the decorations were better than his Stonewell.

As a place for processing prisoners, anything can happen in Volcano Mansion.

And Lacarde happens to be a merciless judge, a man as cold as a snake.

He was born into the royal family of Kalia and knew how to enjoy life.

So in the past, they probably just plundered as much as they could, and they did it as ruthlessly as possible.

Anyway, even though it seems that he is very close to Rodel, he is actually far away from the emperor.

Bai Shi glanced at the many rooms in the corridor of the Volcano Residence and asked Laya:

"By the way, I want to meet Bernal."

"If he is here now, can you take me to find him?"

Laya asked in surprise:
"Ah, so Mr. Baishi knows Mr. Bernard?"

Bai Shi nodded and simply replied:

"Well, we have fought side by side before, so we have met each other before."

Laya suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, I'll take you to your respective rooms."

"Mr. Bernal is usually in the banquet room, and the heroes of Volcano Mansion will go there to find him."

"When we have found the room, I will take you to Monsieur Bernard."
-
Sitting on the bed, Bai Shi leaned back casually.

Not long after, a mist gradually condensed around Bai Shi, and in the mist, Ashimi's figure gradually appeared.

Ashimi had just returned, so Bai Shi was waiting for her here.

After it was completely condensed into a shape, Ashmi stretched lazily.

"Uh-ah!"

"I haven't exercised for a long time."

Bai Shi asked casually:
"How's it going? Did you find it?"

Ashimi patted his chest and raised his face proudly.

"Of course, host, are you still unsure of me?"

Bai Shi smiled but didn't answer.

As a replica teardrop that imitates more than 90% of his strength, Ashimi's strength is beyond doubt.

Although because he has not yet fully completed himself, his imitation ability has a limit and he cannot perfectly copy Bai Shi's strength.

But even if she only relied on the strength she had copied now, Ashimi was enough to sweep the border area.

Ashmi naturally doesn't have to worry about strength, but other aspects are questionable.

After all, Ashimi hasn't fully become a human yet, and is still a little bit stupid.

Fortunately, something like 'finding and eliminating a corrupt tree spirit' that relies purely on force can still be accomplished perfectly.

A blue crystal was thrown out from Ashimi's hand, and it landed right in Bai Shi's hand.

The name of this crystal also appeared in Bai Shi's eyes: 'Blue Secret Dew Drop'.

This is one of the crystal dew drops that formed over a long period of time in the land bathed in the blessings of the golden tree.

After being added to the Holy Grail Bottle of Elixir, it can replace the user's own magic power consumption in a short period of time.

Simply put, it is the infinite magic youth version.

It does not consume mana within 15 seconds and the effect is quite powerful.

With Bai Shi's strength, what he can do with fifteen seconds of full strength output is terrifying.

Moreover, this thing is different from Fengling Yueying, and can be used multiple times.

Even if you only use it once in each battle, you just need to prepare a new elixir after drinking it, and you can continue to use it in the next battle.

But this thing is not completely without restrictions.

Dew drops themselves are consumables, and when they are used, the magic power accumulated over the long years is consumed.

Each time you mix it, you need to consume some dew drops, just like making tea.

In any case, Bai Shi is not stingy with this kind of consumable and will use it when necessary. It is always more cost-effective than using Feng Ling Yue Ying.

Next, if it is paired with the Magic Realm, Comet Azrael, or directly releasing the power of the sun, Bai Shi dare not imagine how terrifying the output will be.
