Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 409 Your witch is killing her way out of the spirit world

Bai Shi dropped Maremare's body and let it roll down the steps into the poisonous swamp.

The body quickly sank and was swallowed by the swamp without leaving any trace.

The Zunfu Knights witnessed the whole process and dared not even breathe a breath.

Unexpectedly, Maremare didn't even have the chance to resist, and died as easily as killing a bug.

Maremare is the lord who has ruled the Sunshade City for a long time. A single Zunfu Knight has no ability to fight against him.

Although during their previous encounters, the Zunfu Knights had guessed that Bai Shi was the dominant one among the two.

But Bai Shi had been hiding his aura very well, and it was not until now that they realized how terrifying his strength was.

As for the dead Maremare herself, no one cared.

Maremare has been driven out of Sunshade City and is no longer the city lord.

Bai Shi turned back to look at Millicent and asked:

"What are you going to do about Sunshade City?"

Now the former city lord Maremare and the current city lord Aronmere have both been killed.

Sunshade City is now without a leader.

Millicent was going on a journey and couldn't stay here.

But in fact, given the current situation of Riyin City, it doesn’t matter whether we take it over or not.

Anyway, the Riyin City is basically an empty city, and there is nothing left after it was taken away by Elonmeyer.

Now, apart from some fallen perfumers, there are ghosts everywhere.

It will remain the same as before, only the corrupt knights will wander in this dead city.

Therefore, Bai Shi intends to leave the decision of whether to stay or go in this city and the noble knights to Millicent.

Millicent lowered her head in thought, then looked at Dahlia beside her.

In this Sunshade City, she is the one that Millicent is most familiar with.

"Let's take over Sunshade City first..."

"I plan to let Dahlia take charge, and the other knights will serve as assistants."

Bai Shi nodded and told Millicent to do as he wished.

When Dahlia heard the appointment, she was stunned for a moment, but she did not refuse and respectfully accepted the order.

"Yes……"

"I will definitely protect this place until you come back."

The surrounding noble knights also expressed their obedience.

Seeing that Millicent had arranged the noble knights, Bai Shi turned around and looked outside the Sunshade City, ready to leave.

The purpose of this trip to Riyin City has been achieved.

Millicent found a prosthetic hand, and the corruption problem was temporarily stabilized.

Bai Shi also picked up the Mare family's execution sword that he wanted, and the progress of the achievement of collecting weapons moved forward a little bit again.

And now Bai Shi can wield two swords at once. Even though it’s useless, it’s very cool.

Bai Shi was about to leave Riyin City when he suddenly stopped.

I almost forgot...there's also the percussion instrument that Patch wanted.

Although it was just a small gadget, I promised him that I would take it back.

Moreover, this is a favorability item that Patch prepared for Tanis. It might be really useful in the Volcano Mansion where the plot has changed drastically at this moment.

But I still don’t know where that thing is, and I didn’t find it along the way just now.

The city lord's hall where the previous battle took place was filled with Maremmare's collections, but there was no trace of the percussion instrument.

The city of Riyin is not very big, but it is still very troublesome if you want to search every corner.

Fortunately, Bai Shi and Millicent no longer have to look for it themselves.

With Millicent's current prestige in the eyes of the noble knights, she can easily command them to help.

After being stationed in Riyin City for so long, you should have some understanding of various places in the city, right?

Should be able to find it soon.
-
Millicent gave the order to ask the noble knights to help search for the whereabouts of the percussion instruments in Sunshade City.

The Zunfu Knights have not spent all these years in Riyin City in vain. They are familiar with the terrain and structure.

It didn't take long to find the most likely place for the percussion instruments.

In a corner of Riyin City, there is a simple collection room that looks like a warehouse.

There are a lot of things piled up here, with various statues and sundries placed randomly.

The collection room was in disarray, and it looked like even Maremare hadn't been there for a long time.

According to the Zunfu Knight who led the way, most of the items here were things that Maremare used to like very much but later gradually lost interest in.

Because I don't like them anymore, but it would be a pity to throw them away, so I just piled them here randomly.

Millicent's eyes swept across the room and soon discovered many exotic things.

Including weapons, clothing, and all kinds of strange decorations and clay dolls.

Bai Shi walked over to where the weapons were piled and picked up a pair of graceful curved swords embellished with fiery red decorations.

The name of this weapon appeared before my eyes - 'Rana Dancing Sword'.

Hang various decorative ornaments and wrap them with brightly colored decorations, so that they don’t look like weapons for use in battle.

So the dance performed by the exotic dancers refers to sword dancing?
While Bai Shi was studying the dancing sword, Millicent was not idle either.

She looked at the table with exotic items on it and began to search among them.

Although the desk was a bit messy, it wasn't to the point where I had no idea where to start.

It didn't take long for Millicent to find the percussion instrument that Patch had specifically asked for.

Gently picking up the percussion instrument, Millicent stretched out her left hand to brush away the dust on it.

Looking at the musical instrument connected by thin ropes, which was exactly the same as in the painting, Millicent gently stroked the texture on it.

She reached out and tried to tap the instrument. The two pieces of copper collided with Millicent's movement, making a clear and pleasant sound.

Millicent laughed, humming an unknown tune as she continued to play with the instrument, and soon mastered the technique.

After playing for a while, Millicent, in a good mood, put away the instrument and prepared to give it to Mr. Patch when she returned.

Just as she was about to leave, Millicent suddenly found something on the table that interested her.

Millicent reached out and picked up the small bottle wrapped in fiery red fabric on the table.

Decorated with the bright golden and red fabric, the silver bottle hung with discs is very cute and exquisite.

Millicent blinked and opened the bottle cap out of curiosity.

However, what she didn't expect was that as the bottle cap was opened, a transparent and fragrant oil mist sprayed out.

As soon as the mist came into contact with the air, it burned rapidly and burst into large fireworks.

The aroma of burning oil immediately filled the entire room, covering up the original gray and rotten smell.

Millicent quickly closed the bottle cap to prevent the flames from continuing to burn.

What Millicent didn't know was that the vial was filled with flammable scented oil.

As long as it comes into contact with air, it can be easily ignited, releasing flames for viewing.

Bai Shi turned his head and watched the brilliant flames like fireworks disappear, then looked at Millicent's hand.

The name of the item also appeared in front of his eyes - 'Rana Fragrance Oil Bottle'.

Looking at the props with the same prefix "Rana" as the dancer's sword, Bai Shi also realized that this was a set of dance props from the same origin.

As for the name 'Rana', which he had never heard of before, it was probably the name of that foreign country. I don't know if it has any connection with Oher.

There is still too little information given in the game about these small countries.

Bai Shi observed the exquisite vial for a while, then said to Millicent:

"Take it back and show it to Patch. He might know."

Millicent nodded and took the interesting little thing away with her.

This thing also has a distinctly exotic feel, and it is placed in the same place as the pile, so it is likely to come from the same culture.

To know the existence of such a strange and exotic instrument, Patch must have known something about that place.
-
Under the gaze of many noble knights, Millicent and Bai Shi left Sunshade City.

After flying for a while, Bai Shi placed Millicent on the high ground west of the Rich Forest.

Next, he had to follow his senses and go to the spirit world, so he couldn't take Millicent with him.

Bai Shi looked at the fertile forest not far away and said to Millicent:

"I have some things to take care of in another place, so I need to be away for a while."

"The time there is different from that at the border, so I can't be sure exactly how many days it will take."

"But I'll be back in about three days."

Bai Shi needs Millicent's help to record the time he leaves.

The speed of time flow in the spiritual world is different from that in the border area. After coming out, he needs to confirm the time as soon as possible.

Millicent frowned slightly.

She didn't quite understand what Bai Shi said...

But, it’s okay!
Millicent nodded and responded to Bai Shi:

"Okay, anyway, I just have to wait a few days, right?"

"I'll wait here."

Bai Shi then added:
"You can move around here, but you don't have to stay here forever."

"As long as you're not running very, very far away, I can find you."

Bai Shi was afraid that if he didn't say anything, Millicent would just stay here motionless for three days.

It felt like something Millicent would do.

When Bai Shi first went to Millicent's body to inject power to transform the corruption, he also left his own mark on her.

Therefore, Bai Shi can now roughly grasp Millicent's movements and no longer have to worry about losing her if she wanders around.

Millicent chuckled and asked slyly:
"So I am such a dull person in Mr. Bai Shi's eyes?"

"Please don't worry. After all this travel, I am still somewhat confident in my ability to survive."

Bai Shi smiled, turned around and jumped into the fertile forest surrounded by mist.
-
After Bai Shi left, Millicent sat cross-legged under a big tree to rest.

After a while, Millicent raised her head and looked into the distance.

There seemed to be some sound coming from nearby...

After thinking for a moment, Millicent stood up and walked towards the direction where the sound came from.

Why not go and have a look, just as a way to exercise your body.

Soon, a person appeared in Millicent's sight.

The man wore an iron hat and a body covered in light armor that was convenient for movement.

But at this moment he fell on the side of the road, unconscious.

Millicent looked around to make sure there was no danger, then she quickly approached.
-
Bai Shi entered the spirit world again through the thorn ring mark on his hand.

He opened his eyes and looked around at the surrounding scene.

Above the dome, the once fading sun has changed.

When Bai Shi destroyed the ritual in the Nimgufu area last time, a corner of the tarnished sun above the spiritual world shattered.

At this time, the rotting inky-black sun disk was secreting an asphalt-like substance, which was slowly flowing to the ground like mud.

The fading sun would occasionally swell like a heartbeat, and the strange mucus would be pumped out continuously.

The light trails left by the slime corroded the sky into honeycomb-like holes.

Bai Shi silently stared at the sun that was gradually fading strangely, trying to guess the reason behind it.

The last time the fading sun shattered, this situation did not occur, so it was obviously not a wound.

Perhaps it was an attempt by the dead prince's followers to make amends?
Just as Bai Shi was thinking, he suddenly found that light was emerging from his body.

That is the color of sunshine, releasing warmth in this cold world of only death.

Bai Shi was stunned for a moment, not knowing what was going on.

You must know that the fading sun blocks the sun's rays from the boundary ground, and in the spiritual world, white consciousness has no way to enjoy the power of the sun.

Quietly feeling the sunlight, Bai Shi finally understood the source of that power.

The belief in the sun turned into light, condensing into the long-desired shadow of the sun on the border.

The light of the real sun cannot reach places, but the faith on the border can reach them.

Bai Shi looked at the warm light and laughed.

The spiritual world that is now being rebuilt is due to the faith of the followers of the Prince of Death.

If that's the case, wouldn't it be better for him to defeat him with the power of faith?
Now that he also has the power of faith in the sun, let the sun's light rise in the spiritual world as well!

The white consciousness drove this power and raised a scorching sun high up.

In the sky of eternal night, the blazing sun and the cold, pale sun face each other in the distance, neither giving in an inch.

The blazing sun hanging high in the sky heralds the arrival of consciousness and also serves as a guide to the direction.

Now, there is a possibility for Xia Duo to find herself.

Bai Shi looked around casually, observing the surrounding situation and preparing to choose a direction to move forward.

Each area of the spirit world is different and has unique venues.

I don’t know if it’s because of the fertile forest or because it’s close to the royal city, but this place is covered with giant trees hanging upside down in the air.

The mucus flowing from the fading sun corroded holes in the sky, and the death worms that turned into thorns grew upside down from the holes, connecting all the way to the earth.

No, perhaps it should be said that those thick thorns of death penetrated all the way and pierced the earth.

The pierced ground was covered with broken mirror-like crystal bone fragments, each of which contained a ball of pale spiritual fire.

Millions of bone spurs reflected the coffin-like silence in the cold light of the false sun.

Just when Bai Shi decided to walk towards the fading sun, a voice suddenly came from behind:
"Wow, this is the first time I see a living person here."

"That's strange, what's your name?"

Bai Shi turned around and saw a tall but thin man appearing not far behind him.

He had long pale hair, wore a pitch-black robe, and walked barefoot on the ground covered with bones.

As he walked, the distance between them narrowed rapidly.

Bai Shi looked at the man approaching with some seriousness.

It felt like he was shrinking the distance to an inch; the steps he took were totally disproportionate to the actual distance he crossed.

The man approached Bai Shi until he was a few meters away. Seeing the surprised look, he touched his head.

A strange smile appeared on his pale face, and he spoke to Bai Shi in a friendly manner:

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself."

"You can just call me Koyatel."
