Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 427 Praise the Sun
Welcomed by Mugram, Bai Shi once again came to the core library of the magic academy.

Pushing open the heavy door, Bai Shi walked in slowly, while Mugram stood outside the door meticulously.

In the great library, the first thing that caught one's eye was the newly born magic apprentices.

The young magic apprentices stayed quietly in the library, reading the profound magic books in their hands as fairy tales.

Surrounded by her apprentices, the 'Full Moon Queen' Reinara still held the huge amber egg in her hand.

Looking at the amber egg that gave birth to life, Lenara smiled gently, full of love.

At this moment, Bai Shi was suddenly surprised to find that as he stepped into the library, Lena's gaze slowly moved over.

After confirming that sight, Bai Shi couldn't help but feel happy.

Although Lenara did not do anything else, she seemed a little more normal than before.

You have to know that in the past, the Full Moon Queen had almost no response to the outside world.

It seemed that during the time he was away, Lailana or Lani had touched her in some way, and her condition began to improve.

According to Teacher Seren, 'Double Moon' Layla led Kalia's army all the way to Kalia Castle.

During this period, she also came to the magic academy.

Naturally, she had no objection to the affiliation of the magic academy. Lailana only came here to visit her beloved sister.

However, Teacher Se Lian was not aware of what happened during that period, nor whether it was successful.

She only knew that Lailana did not stay long. After staying in the library for two days, she left quickly.

Now, Lailana has brought her army back to Kalia Castle through the renovated main gate bridge and started repairs and construction.

Bai Shi slowly walked towards Lenara and saw the huge amber egg in her hand.

In the huge amber egg, a blurry figure curled up like a child.

The strands of long red hair floating in the amniotic fluid covered her entire body.

Bai Shi looked carefully at the familiar yet slightly different face, matching it bit by bit with the face in his memory.

Lying in this amber egg is Lani who is reshaping her body.

The dazzling and passionate red hair is a symbol of Lani's original physical appearance, which is completely different from the cold appearance of the doll.

Bai Shi stretched out his hand and touched the translucent amber egg with his fingertips.

The last time we parted at Yatan Plateau, Lani said she wanted to reshape her body.

But Bai Shi didn't expect Lani to act so quickly.

Only a few days have passed, and judging from the status of the amber egg, it has almost reached more than half of the progress.

Through the thick shell wall, Bai Zhi can clearly feel the calm heartbeat, which is the pulse of life.

Looking at that peaceful sleeping face, Bai Shi couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

Thanks to the Full Moon Queen, the two of his beloved ones were able to return to the borderland...

At this moment, a translucent face suddenly emerged from Lani's body and approached the shell wall of the amber egg.

Bai Shi was stunned when he saw this scene, and then he realized that Lani's soul could move slightly in this amber egg.

Lani's research on the soul has been quite successful in the border area, so it is not surprising that she can achieve this.

Moreover, on normal days, the body of Lani's doll cannot fully carry the soul, so half of the soul's face is exposed.

Also because of the puppet body, Lani needs to fall asleep from time to time to protect her soul.

Looking at Bai Shi's surprised expression, Lani smiled slyly as if her prank was successful.

However, her current condition does not allow her soul to leave her body for too long, otherwise it might have an unknown impact on the fusion of body and soul.

So Lani just smiled at Bai Shi, waved her hand, and returned to her body without any reaction.

Bai Shi chuckled twice and waved to Lani regardless of whether she could see him or not.

Lenara seems to be getting better, and Lani is also being reborn.

I'll wait and find an opportunity to tell them about Radagan.

I don’t know whether this news is good or bad for Laylana’s condition…

As for Lani, her calm face would probably reveal an unprecedented expression of disbelief.

I have to admit, Bai Shi is still quite curious about what kind of expression she would show.

Bai Shi thought so and couldn't help but feel a little excited.

After staying for a while, Bai Shi turned around and left the library.

Next, he planned to take a walk around Kalia Castle to see what the situation was like there.

By the way, he also wanted Servais to make the potion.

It is also very important to collect props to avoid obsessive-compulsive disorder in the future.

He can do without it, but he can't live without it.

Under the escort of the dragon soldiers, Laya and Bernal quickly crossed the icy Lake Yenia and arrived above Stonewell.

Laya couldn't see what was on the ground in the palm of her hand, and now that she had a real place to sit, the feeling of floating and weightlessness in the air disappeared instantly.

Without any fear of heights, Laya was able to travel this distance safely.

At this time, Laya was sitting in the palm of the dragon soldier, and the fear of the sky in her heart had been replaced by strong curiosity.

She looked through the fingers of the dragon soldiers at the approaching Stonewell, her eyes full of curiosity and amazement.

She had never seen such a bustling city, nor had she ever seen so many people.

The dragon soldiers seemed to have noticed Laya's thoughts and slowed down slightly and lowered their altitude.

He passed slowly over Stonewell so that they could see him clearly.

The streets are bustling with people, and silver knights in shining armor can be seen everywhere maintaining law and order.

Not only the Faded Ones, there are also a large number of subhumans and hybrids on the streets of Stonewell, and even mountain goblins are very common.

Unlike other places, the subhumans and hybrids here even wear rough clothes and live in peace with other races.

The winged hybrids carried waist bags and flapped their wings to deliver letters and items to rooms in various buildings.

The demi-humans used their nimble bodies to shuttle between taverns, delivering their specialty cave mushroom dishes to customers.

The mountain goblins were not restrained by any chains at all. They moved slowly through a large and exclusive street, carrying the building materials to the appropriate locations.

Bernal was a little dazed, looking at the vibrant city and recalling the past.

In his impression, only Rodel before the Shattered War could have such a prosperous scene.

No... even when the Golden Tree King City was at its most glorious, it was impossible for so many races to live together in harmony.

The Golden Tree Age is the age that is finally established after defeating all enemies.

The people born at the foot of the golden tree always have a noble arrogance and think they are superior. The evil omens and hybrids are all races discriminated against because of their characteristics of the melting pot, and are called the defilers.

These races have never been respected by the Golden Tree residents and were either disposed of or born as slaves.

And those stupid and barbaric subhumans are also a rather unwelcome race.

Only parts of the tribe where the queen exists will be treated with certain scruples and driven away for the sake of the academy, while other small-scale populations will only appear on the list of bandits to be cleared out.

As for the mountain goblins, their treatment was even more miserable. Bernal, who had personally experienced the Giant War, also felt disgusted by the golden tree's betrayal.

The fact that these races could have the same equal status as humans and could survive through normal means was something Bernal had never imagined before.

You have to know that each race has different personalities and habits, and it is not easy to integrate them into human life.

For example, the brutality of the subhumans at night, the inherent discrimination of humans against hybrids, the huge size of the mountain monsters and so on.

Now that many races can live together harmoniously, it is not enough to simply and roughly provide an equal status.

You have to know that they may not even know how to wear clothes before.

If we only give them equal status but don't guide them, we will only end up with a chaotic and disordered city.

During this process, Stonewell was destined to provide them with long-term socialization education and a large amount of resources to help them integrate into society.

Seeing this peaceful scene, Bernard suddenly found himself smiling sincerely for the first time in hundreds of years.

Isn't this the kind of peaceful border that they had fought for and hoped for in the past?
Bernal had already placed all his trust in Bai Shi because he believed that he was destined to become king and could create a new era.

In order to overthrow the laws of the golden tree and rebel against the supreme will, I chose to entrust everything to him.

And now the scene in Stonewell made Bernal see the prototype of that glorious era directly, and he was completely conquered.

Since such a world can really be realized in Bai Shi's hands, he has one more reason to fight with all his might.

The beautiful era that exists in imagination naturally requires battles of blood and fire to be created.

And now, there is one more person willing to shed blood for this.
-
In the Storm Hill outside Stonewell, the huge dragon soldiers slowly landed.

He stretched out his claws and brought Laya and Bernal safely to the ground.

At the same time, the army stationed here had already been prepared, and a team of knights soon came to meet them.

Bai Shi had already made arrangements for Laya and Bernal in advance.

They just need to go to Stoneville and someone will naturally entertain them.

After receiving the message, Hakan, the commander of the Dragon Blood Knights, immediately decided to go there in person to greet them. The Dragon Blood Knights who came with him lined up solemnly and dignifiedly, without losing their dignity.

The Dragonblood Knights maintained absolute silence, with only the faint metallic sound of armor rubbing against each other and the flags held high fluttering in the wind.

Laya looked at the Dragon Blood Knights with strict military discipline, and her definition of a hero suddenly changed a little.

The 'heroes' at the Volcano Residence were so casual and undisciplined that they could never do such a thing.

Although I feel that the 'heroes' in the Volcano Residence are slightly stronger...

But Laya's intuition told her that if a battle of equal numbers really occurred, the winners would definitely be these knights in black armor.

Hakan took off his helmet and greeted Bernard with a respectful gesture befitting a knight.

"Nice to meet you. I am Hakan, the leader of the Dragonblood Knights."

"I have always admired your legend."

"I never thought that there would be a day in the future when I could go on a journey to battle with you."

Bernal did not regard himself as a senior or have any other status, nor did he look down on Hakan because he was stronger. He just returned the gift as a knight.

"Now I am just a knight, serving the king as loyally as you."

"Let us shed our blood together for the coming of the Age of the Sun."

"Praise the sun."

Hakan was stunned at first, but then a smile of genuine recognition appeared on his face.

"Praise the sun!"

After picking out a few knights to go with him, Hakan turned around and led Laya and Bernal towards the city.

Next, we need to introduce them to other colleagues according to Bai Shi’s wishes.

As for the other Dragon Blood Knights, they returned to the camp to prepare themselves.

After Hakan led Laya and Bernal away, the remaining Dragonblood Knights gradually began to discuss:

"Am I seeing things? Could it be him?"

"Well, that armor and that aura... I can't be wrong, it must be the quasi-king."

"As expected, no wonder Lord Hakan is so respectful. The qualifications and status of a quasi-king are so terrifying."

"I didn't expect that even the long-missing quasi-king would reappear and choose to follow Lord Bai Shi."

The more devout believers held onto the 'Legend of the Sun' tightly, almost unable to contain their excitement and cheering, their voices becoming louder and louder:
"This is the Sun King's courage. Even the would-be kings of the past believed that he was the one who could be king."

"Great, our border area is really saved."

"Praise the sun!"

There was no intention to conceal the arrival of Bernal and Laya, not to mention that they were brought back by the huge dragon soldiers, so it was hard not to notice them.

Bai Shi had no intention of hiding this matter. After all, it did not involve any secrets at all, so it would be better to spread it.

Bai Shi has always had some experience in building momentum for himself.

Reputation is an important factor in social stability and an indispensable part of building a sense of identity.

The identity of a quasi-king is a very important badge in the border area.

As the knights' discussions became increasingly unrestrained, this inspiring news began to spread.
-
Under the leadership of Hakan, Laya and Bernal passed through Stoneville and got to know this miracle city created by white consciousness along the way.

According to Bai Shi's arrangement, Lancelet and other confidants would be allowed to get to know Laya, the little girl who had just left the nest, and would need to take better care of her.

As for what Laya will do in Stonewell in the future, it depends on her own plans.

Whether you plan to be a traveler in the border areas in the future, stay in Stonewell and take a job, or want to do something else, it's all possible.

Bai Shi had no experience in taking care of children, and Laya was indeed not a child anymore, so she didn't need much supervision, so he just let her do what she wanted.

As for Bernal, Bai Shi had other arrangements and did not intend to let him stay in Stonewell.

As the strongest fighting force that his subordinates can mobilize at will, Bai Shi has things to assign to him.

So after getting to know other colleagues, Bernal was arranged to stay in the reception room for a temporary rest.

After waiting for Bai Shi to come back, he will immediately take him away and continue on the road.
