Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 46 The Round Table

Nefeli continued to take Bai Shi around the Round Table Hall, introducing its history.

"The Round Table Hall was built long before we the Faded Ones were stripped of our golden blessings. It is a gathering place for heroes."

"It is said that the Hall of the Round Table was even more powerful than it is now, and there were even powerful knights favored by ancient dragons."

"My godfather, Sir Baizhi, is one of the founders of the Round Table Hall and is also the current leader of the Round Table."

When talking about her adoptive father, Nepheli showed an expression of admiration.

"My adoptive father is different from me. He is a scholar with profound knowledge. He adopted me when I was young and he is my guiding light."

"If my godfather wasn't busy right now, I would definitely introduce him to you."

Bai Shi nodded. Although in the game Bai Zhi would massacre the Platinum Village and send people to steal the secret symbol of the sacred tree to prevent players from becoming kings, he was a pure old bastard.

But in terms of knowledge, there is really nothing to criticize.

However, what has always puzzled Bai Shi is why Bai Zhi would prevent the player from becoming the king in the end.

Baizhi did not want to be king himself, what he pursued was knowledge.

Clearly Queen Marika's guidance was for the Faded One to become the King of Elden.

But Baizhi, who was also guided, said before the battle: Queen Marika wants us to maintain the status quo and keep struggling.

This is actually a lie that Baizhi told because he did not want the law to be perfected so that he could be immortal, and he did it to satisfy his selfish desire for knowledge.

Or was it that the guidance he received at that time was not from Queen Marika at all?
…………

These things were too far away for the moment, so Bai Shi just let his thoughts wander for a while before not thinking about them any further.

There will be plenty of opportunities to explore this in the future, but for now, let’s just listen to Nepheli’s introduction.

The two continued to walk through the corridor. There were many small rooms on both sides where Huarun could rest.

From time to time, faded people would set up stalls to sell or exchange the materials and props they had obtained.

Suddenly a voice called out to Nepheli.

"Nefeli, you are showing your new compatriots around the Hall of the Round Table again today."

Bai Shi looked towards the owner of the voice and found that it was a finger witch sitting at her stall, but there was nothing in front of her.

Nepheli seemed to be familiar with her. She greeted her and walked over with Bai Shi.

"Yes, when he arrived here, he scared everyone at the round table. I happened to be there, so I came to lead the way."

The witch looked at Bai Shi carefully, and an expression of surprise gradually appeared on her face.

"Just from the way he stands, I can tell that this warrior is incredibly strong."

"Yeah, you can tell at a glance."

Nepheli patted Bai Shi's armor carelessly and introduced it to Bai Shi.

"This is the witch Serolina. Warriors without companions can simply wait for suitable companions in the Round Table Hall. By the way, I will help warriors without witches transform runes into strength. Of course, there will be a small fee for this."

Serolina stood up and bowed slightly to Bai Shi.

"I'm just a nobody who just arrived here."

Bai Shi was a little surprised that he remembered the name.

Serolina, a witch who was left without a warrior and was eventually made into a puppet by Servais.

I didn’t expect that I would be doing upgraded service in the Round Table Hall now. I hope I won’t be caught by Servais again.

"Um, Mr. Bai Shi, I see there is no witch around you..."

"Ok?"

Bai Shi was a little confused as to why he suddenly asked this.

'Wait, she's not going to be my witch, is she?'

As expected, Serolina spoke again: "Although it is a little difficult to start, but if you don't have a witch, can I accompany you as a witch?"

"Um, sorry to disappoint you, I have the witch's, she just didn't come with me."

Bai Shi quickly rejected her.

Are you kidding? If you came, how could Melina and I have a happy trip?

Serolina showed a disappointed expression.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I offended you..."
-
After leaving Serolina's stall, Nefeli felt a little apologetic and apologized to Bai Shi:

"Please do not mind Serolina's offense, because you are a powerful warrior and she only hopes to fulfill her mission."

"It's okay. After all, my witch is not around, so misunderstandings are inevitable."

Bai Shi just thought of a question and asked Nepheli:

"Speaking of which, how many people are accompanied by witches in the Hall of the Round Table?"

Nepheli shook her head.

"Although there are dozens of people, compared to the total number of people, the number of people accompanied by witches is still very small."

"For example, I don't have a witch either, but Serolina helped me a lot, and we have a lot of contact, so we can be considered friends."

As she spoke, Nefeli brought Bai Shi to a room, and scorching heat leaked through the door.

Bai Shi looked inside and saw that the room was equipped with a huge furnace, anvil and various forging tools.

A figure was hammering a weapon in front of an anvil.

It was the blacksmith Xiu Gu.

Unlike in the game, there is now a special small room for repairing ancient artifacts, which is not bad.

Nefeli did not bring Bai Shi in to disturb them, but introduced herself to Bai Shi outside the door.

"This is Master Xiu Gu. Don't underestimate his craftsmanship just because he's a hybrid. He's forging something now, so we won't bother him. Just come find him when you need to strengthen your weapon."

Bai Shi was not in a hurry to strengthen anything for the time being, so he continued to stroll around with Nefeli.

Suddenly, there was a gasp from a room next door.

Nepheli frowned, and it was obvious that she didn't like the owner of this room.

"The owner of this room is a woman named Feiya. She... how should I put it, she is not very decent."

Without further introduction, Nefeli left quickly with Bai Shi.

Next, Nepheli took Bai Shi to visit the place where commissions were issued and accepted, the twin old women who sold various items, and the kitchen that provided meals.

By the way, I also met Colin who was teaching prayer, D who was making a cross on the map, and Diaros who was wandering around looking for his followers.

I didn't see Roger, and I didn't know if he was already in Stonewell, or if the panting coming from Fia's room just now was from them.

Nefeli also took Baishi to walk around Baizhi's room, but the door was closed and only Enxia was posing at the door. Nefeli gave up the idea of introducing Baizhi to Baishi.

Bai Shi was amazed at what he saw. The round table now was much more lively than in the game. It was more like a gathering of adventurers in other works.

After a walk around, we returned to the round table.

Nepheli pointed to the heavy door and introduced the most important place in the round table to Bai Shi.

"Behind that door is Lord Two Fingers, but now Lord Two Fingers' door is closed. Only special people can be summoned by Lord Two Fingers."

"For example, the emissaries who obeyed Lord Two-Fingers, my foster father Sir Baizhi, and the warriors who obtained the Great Rune."

Nefeli's expression was solemn.

"But so far, we haven't even defeated a demigod who holds a Great Rune."

　Come join the group and build a round table hall, it is urgent! Then ask for votes every day ('')
