Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 426 The Most Proud Disciple

Bai Shi walked to the open space in front of the Volcano Residence, and seeing that Laya was ready, he smiled faintly at her.

Next, Bai Shi prepared to take them on a high-speed flight from the Yatan Plateau back to Stonewell.

Bernal had walked through various border areas before, and the blessings in various places were almost all lit up, making it very convenient to teleport when he wanted.

That's why he can collect fighting skills everywhere when he has nothing to do, and teach martial arts to the Faded Ones from time to time out of interest.

It’s a pity that due to Laya’s special identity, she is destined not to enjoy such a convenient means of transportation as blessing.

But the little time spent on the road is nothing.

It just so happened that Bai Shi had some things to do on the way to Stonewell.

But just when Bai Shi was about to leave, the door of the Volcano Residence was pushed open again.

A shining bald head ran out from it and quickly came to Bai Shi's side.

Patch was holding his legs, panting, and his speech was a little intermittent.

"call--"

"I have something...I want to tell you."

"Can you please move to the side and give me a moment? Please."

Bai Shi looked at Patch in confusion, wondering what happened to him all of a sudden.

Clearly, just now, Bai Shi also handed the dancer's percussion instrument to him.

However, Bai Shi still nodded and agreed to Patch's request.

Giving Bernal and Laya a look, indicating that they should wait for a moment, Bai Shi then brought Patch to a slightly farther location.

Having got the chance to be alone with Bai Shi as he wished, Patch leaned against the rock and spoke with an awkward smile:

"Haha, I was worried that Tanis would become depressed because of this..."

"Now it seems that the ending of the matter is still quite good, thanks to you."

Patch touched his head and said a little embarrassedly:

"The misunderstanding between her and Laya has been completely resolved, and she has not given up on herself because of Lakkad's death."

"If that's the case, then it seems like there's nothing for me to do."

"So I was wondering if you could take me back with you?"

Seeing Bai Shi looking at him strangely, Patch waved his hand and said casually:
"Ha, don't I still have a few years left in my sentence?"

"Now that everything has come to an end, it's time to go back and pay my debts."

Bai Shi didn't expect that Patch was here for this matter.

He originally thought that Patch would choose to stay with Tanis, but he didn't expect that she would make the choice so easily.

Bai Shi had not been very optimistic about the relationship between the two, and he had no intention of bringing them together.

After all, this matter still depends on the wishes of the parties involved.

Bai Shi looked at Patch, raised his eyebrows, and replied:
"It's okay, but..."

"Have you really made your choice?"

"He was so throwing a tantrum when he came here."

Patch clicked his tongue and turned his head away.

Bai Shi saw the retreat and cowardice in Patch's eyes.

A guy who claims to be crazy is now planning to run away in disgrace because he is afraid of being "hurt"?

This won’t work. We have to try everything first.

Anyway, the worst that could happen is that Patch would be thrown out by Tanis.

And most importantly, Bai Shi spent a lot of effort and time to help Patch find the item. If it wasn't even taken out in the end, he would be very unhappy.

Bai Shi showed a meaningless smile on his face, chuckled to Patch twice, and spoke again:

"I've changed my mind. I won't take you with me this time."

"Rather than having you go back to a crowded place to do something evil, it's better for you to serve your sentence in a volcano where no one cares."

"When the time comes, just come back by yourself."

"You were able to overcome any difficulties and obstacles on your way here, but don't tell me you can't on your way back."

Anyway, no matter what the final outcome is, it is Patch's business to consider and has nothing to do with him.

A storm suddenly surrounded Patch and he looked at Bai Shi in horror, but he was responded with a flying kick.

Patch's figure suddenly flew high up as if riding on the soul airflow, landed in front of the Volcano Residence and rolled twice, but when he stood up, he was unharmed.

Bai Shi looked at Patch and couldn't help but smile happily.

After being kicked so many times by Patch in various games before, I finally got my comeback.

Before Patch could react, Bai Shi had already returned to Bernal and Laya and flew away with them.

Patch dusted himself off and sighed, waiting until the three figures had completely disappeared before turning back to the Volcano Residence.
-

After flying for a long time, Bai Shi found a place and slowly brought the two of them down.

It’s not that Bai Shi felt tired or anything like that, it was mainly to take care of Laya’s body.

After all, she is not a combat unit. Even if she was born in a special way, her physical fitness is not too exaggerated.

And...Laya seems to be a little afraid of heights.

After all, it is essentially a snake on the ground, so it feels surprisingly reasonable.

It just so happens that Bai Shi also has something to do nearby.

Let Laya have a good rest, Bai Shi released his magic power completely.

Pieces of fine pyroxene crystals spread out, turning into extensions of white consciousness, and began to search in the surrounding valleys.

Soon, Bai Shi found the mysterious item that fell nearby - Amber Starlight.

Those were the fragments of starlight that flashed by in an instant, illusory fragments that emitted amber light.

Bai Shi compared the golden amber in his hand, trying to explore the relationship between the two.

The two seem to be different. Although Amber Starlight has the same power from the starry sky, there are still many differences in the concept of existence.

Bai Shi looked at Laya who was sitting on a rock nearby.

Laya seemed to need some time to calm down, and was now staring blankly at the ground.

Seeing this, Bai Shi turned around and said to Bernard:

"Bernard, you have lit up the blessing on the snowy mountain, right?"

"I have some ideas that I want to try out, and I need your cooperation."

Although Bernard didn't know why Bai Shi asked this, he didn't ask any more questions and just did as he was asked.

Bai Shi also left a sun mark on Bernal's body to mark his location.

Then Bai Shi had Bernal teleport to the blessing of the snowy mountains.

Sensing that the location of the mark was instantly transferred to somewhere extremely far away, Bai Shi nodded.

The first step is successfully completed, so the next step is the real key point.

Bai Shi then immediately activated the power of the Great Rune and began to consume the Rune accumulated in his body, establishing a connection with the blessing where Bernal was.

The next moment, Bai Shi's figure appeared out of thin air on the top of the giant mountain.

In the Church of Repose at the top of Giant Mountain, the flying snow melted rapidly with the arrival of Bai Zhi.

Bai Shi looked at the blessing that had already been lit up even though he had never touched it, and a confident smile appeared on his face.

Sure enough, this kind of thing is no longer a problem for him now.

Now the blessing of the snow mountain has been opened, and you can come here at any time next time.

The knowledge of other places that Bernal has visited, including the royal city, can also be shared.

Now, Bai Shi's strength is not the only thing that has been continuously enhanced.

Those things that were close to the laws began to become clear in his eyes.

It is still a little difficult to create and it requires accumulation, but if you just apply and change it, there won’t be too many problems.

Before the era of the Golden Tree, there was no such thing as blessing in the borderland.

Although the life force of Rune has existed for a long time, its real large-scale use had to wait until the Golden Tree era.

The existence of blessing is to provide a convenient supply point for the army to rest and move.

Those warriors in the past who had not yet experienced fading were all guided by the blessing and gained strength and support from it.

Relying on the power of blessing in the Great Rune, it is not impossible for Bai Shi to rub the blessing with his hands.

Bai Shi and Bernal disappeared again and were teleported back to Laya.

Looking at Laya who still hadn't recovered, Bai Shi shook his head helplessly.

How about trying a new way of moving next?

Bai Shi took out the pyroxene crystal that had not been used for a long time and made a brief contact with Stonewell.

After making the arrangements, Bai Shi also awakened a certain huge monster through the mark.
——An order quickly came out from Stonewell and was passed down layer by layer.

A few minutes later, a dull sound was heard from the cliff outside Stonewell, as if the mountain was shaking.

The Silver Knights received the notice and walked quickly through the streets, telling the residents not to panic.

People passing by on the isolated bridge held on to the guardrails tightly and did not move at will to prevent accidents.

A wandering merchant who had just arrived in Stoneville from Gaileed was confused and thought he had suddenly entered an emergency.

But looking at the appearance of those knights, it doesn't seem to be anything too dangerous?
Just as he was following the instructions and tying the donkey's reins to the guardrail, he happened to witness a terrifying figure mechanically standing up from the abyss under the lonely bridge.

A huge and ferocious head was level with the lonely bridge, almost right in front of him.

As he was awakened, his tightly closed eyes instantly opened as wide as possible, and his cold vertical pupils flashed with dazzling light.

The head had a rough and ferocious shape, and the thick rock scales were cold, sharp and angular.

With three completely different weapons on his back, the creature exuded murderous intent, like a ruthless giant god.

Compared to the elegant ancient dragon, this doesn't look like a living creature at all, but more like some kind of war weapon.

The wandering merchant's donkey was frightened and collapsed on the bridge with its limbs limp.

But the wandering merchant's eyes changed from their previous lack of interest to an unprecedentedly passionate look.

"Is this Stonewell?!"

"With such strong strength, I can definitely make a lot of money safely here!"

The dragon soldier spread his four wings and flapped them, and his huge body instantly leaped into the air and quickly rushed in one direction.

A huge gust of wind followed, but was immediately blocked by Stonewell's own storm, and when it blew on everyone, it was only a breeze.

Seeing the huge figure, the residents who knew the situation cheered. They were not afraid, but felt a great sense of security.

Because they knew that it was the Sun King's strong shield and one of the iron walls protecting Stonewell.
-

At the edge of the cliff on the Yatan Plateau, Bai Shi and the other two were waiting quietly.

Not long after, the figures of dragon soldiers came roaring up from the bottom of the cliff.

The dragon soldiers followed Bai Shi's instructions and hovered at the edge of the Yatan Plateau but did not step on it.

Laya looked at this uniquely shaped monster and opened her mouth in surprise.

Bernal was equally surprised that the followers that Bai Shi casually recruited had such strength.

In Bernal's perception, the strength of this dragon soldier was also very powerful, and was not weaker than those ordinary demigods who had not mastered the Great Rune.

Powerful combat units like the Black Sword Followers are nothing in front of it.

At Bai Shi's signal, the two of them stood in the palm of a dragon soldier and were safely protected.

Let the dragon soldiers take Bernal and Laya back to Stonewell first, while Bai Shi changed the route alone.

With the help of the blessed teleportation, Bai Shi arrived at the magic academy in the blink of an eye.
-

In the exclusive classroom of the Magic Academy, Bai Shi quickly found Teacher Se Lian.

At this time, Se Lian had taken off the witch's pyroxene head mask and sat at the table, repeatedly studying the profound knowledge in the books, swinging her bare feet casually on the high chair.

When the door was pushed open, Se Lian had already raised his head and looked at Bai Shi.

Without waiting for Se Lian to ask why Bai Shi came this time.

Bai Shi had already placed the golden amber from Esti on Se Lian's desk.

Teacher Se Lian looked at the strange object in front of him that was shining with golden light, and immediately realized that it carried the life force from the starry sky.

"This is……"

Bai Shi smiled and handed the golden amber to Se Lian.

“This is my gift to the teacher.”

"It is a special amber that originated from a powerful life form in the stars. It should be able to help you explore the origins."

"I have been studying here for such a long time, I have to pay some tuition."

Teacher Se Lian did not refuse and readily accepted this unprecedented golden amber.

I have to say that the gift Bai Shi brought this time really touched her heart.

Her current research into the origins was indeed progressing a little slowly.

In the past, she would also use the magician's ball to assist in her research.

But now those magicians are no longer enemies, but regular magicians under Bai Shi.

Even if Se Lian only regarded them as resources and consumables, he would not touch the property and manpower of his apprentices.

Although the seal of the starry sky has been released, the exploration of its origin is still difficult.

Now the golden amber brought by Bai Shi really solved her urgent problem.

No, it’s not just the difficulties encountered during the previous exploration, but the subsequent research will probably be able to proceed smoothly.

Se Lian raised his head and nodded to Bai Shi with satisfaction.

"I didn't expect you would still remember me as your teacher."

"By the way, there seems to be something different about you..."

Se Lian moved closer to Bai Shi and observed his body carefully.

Holding Bai Shi's wrist, Se Lian felt the pyroxene-like bones and couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.

"Pyroxene..."

"Have you come into contact with the origin?"

Bai Shi nodded, but then shook his head.

"I did see the origin, but it was the origin that Master Azrael saw."

Hearing that name, Se Lian's expression changed slightly, and he even gave up the topic of origin and asked:
"Disciple, have you met Master Yazle?"

"Besides taking you to explore the origin, did he do anything else?"

Bai Shi nodded and told Teacher Se Lian what had happened truthfully:

"Master Yazle was very enthusiastic and taught me the true secrets of the comet."

"By the way, you are his most proud disciple, and he is very happy for you."

Se Lian was stunned for a moment, and continued to ask:
"Did he really say that?"

Bai Shi nodded and said affirmatively:
"of course."

After getting a positive answer, Se Lian was silent for a while, and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hehe, I know it without him telling me."

"Among all the magicians he has taught, there is no one like me..."

“That was a really long, happy time.”

Bai Shi looked at the teacher Se Lian whom he missed very much, blinked, and asked:

"Teacher, you won't end up like that in order to study the origin, or even become a magician ball, right?"

Se Lian raised his eyebrows and said lightly:
“Maybe?”

"In order to explore the origin, I, your teacher, can do anything..."

But soon, Se Lian's expression changed and he started laughing.

"Haha, I lied to you."

"I am already very close to the origin, but I am just missing that last bit of inspiration."

"For an origin magician like me, this kind of amber is more than enough for research."

"Using magician balls and magician blocks to conduct research is indeed what the origin magicians would do. I have also used them before."

"Gather the magicians who are the children of the stars and turn them into seeds of the stars, so as to get closer to the origin in a conceptual sense."

"But integrating oneself into the magician's ball or block is not a good idea."

"Although I can indeed feel the mysteries of the stars more personally, but... I also admit my own incompetence. I can only explore through such a last resort."

Se Lian shook his head, not agreeing with the forbidden method of integrating himself into the process to enhance computing power.

“Only mediocre people who admit that they cannot reach the origin by their own strength will succumb to reality.”

"As a teacher, I don't want to be mixed up with them."

Se Lian tapped Bai Shi's shoulder with the Azraelite staff in his hand, tilted his head and said casually:
"So don't worry."

"Since I care so much about my appearance, I won't be willing to become like that."

"For the sake of my most proud disciple, I should also work harder and not let you surpass me all the time."

Bai Shi looked at Teacher Se Lian who looked very relaxed and smiled as well.

Exploring the origin is Teacher Se Lian’s lifelong wish, but at the last moment, it also became a shackle of obsession.

Clearly in the game, the apprentice was about to become the King of Elden, but he still chose the most heartbreaking path.

Now that he has the golden amber that contains the secrets of stellar life, Teacher Se Lian may be able to explore the origin without having to rely on the forbidden power.
