Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 471, right? Yes, yes!
After giving the instructions, Bai Shi began to review his recent decisions in his mind.

Therefore, Bai Shi suddenly remembered that Ashimi was still wandering around outside.

Realizing this, Bai Shi helplessly held his head.

I thought it would only be a matter of one or two nights, but so many things happened inexplicably, and it dragged on for several days.

Bai Shi was also a little worried about Ashimi being alone these past few days.

Although Ashmi is strong enough, his desire for independent social interaction is still a bit worrying.

Bai Shi quickly sent a telepathic message to Ashimi, telling her to come back as soon as possible.
-
Inside Rodrika's residence, Ashmi, with a broad smile, sipped her afternoon tea, which exuded a unique fragrance.

It wasn't that Ashmi wanted to laugh, but rather that his smile had completely frozen on his face.

Ashmi mechanically repeated the actions, feeling utterly empty inside.

She couldn't help but ponder the meaning of the teardrop's existence: why could a being who was half-souled still taste flavor?
Suddenly, Ashmi received a summons from Bai Shi in his mind.

Ashmi's expression first showed uncontrollable elation, then she turned to Rodrikka with a serious and solemn look and said:

"I'm sorry, the tea party will probably have to end here."

"The host is summoning me."

Although he looked regretful, Ashmi stood up before he finished speaking.

Since it was the host's order, I can leave without jeopardizing the other party's expectations, which is wonderful.

Ashmi was immediately filled with joy at the salvation he had received.

But then Ashmi suddenly realized that it might be okay for him to use this as an excuse to slip away earlier.

Rodrigo stood up, her mouth slightly open.

Since it was Lord Bai Shi's summons, she naturally couldn't stop it.

Rodrigo nodded, escorted Ashmi to the door, and said goodbye:
"I see. Then please go to Lord Bai Shi's side first."

"As for the tea party, let's talk about it another time."

"It's rare to make new friends, and I'm also happy to be able to taste the lily of the valley."

"Next time I will prepare more flavors and try to make something that suits your taste."

Ashmi's back suddenly paused, and he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

"Uh-huh……"

"Well... I'll come again next time..."

After making the promise subconsciously, Ashmi wanted to slap himself twice and had to leave quickly.

Rodrigo watched Ashmi's figure dissipate into a puff of smoke, then turned around and enthusiastically began mixing again.

Hopefully, as an apprentice spirit medium, she will one day be able to make a cemetery flower tea that truly suits Ashmi's taste.
-
Standing before the throne, Bai Shi was taken aback when he saw Ashmi's haggard appearance.

What has Ashmi been doing? He looks just as exhausted as he does.

Is there anyone among Stoneville's that she can't handle?

Bai Shi stared wide-eyed, looking Ashimi up and down, and couldn't help but ask:

"what happened?"

Why do you seem so listless?

Ashmi shook his head wearily and said with a sigh:

"Host……"

"It turns out that becoming human is so difficult."

"I have absolutely no idea about social interactions..."

Ashmi recounted his previous experiences to Bai Shi in detail, describing this difficult period.

Bai Shi sighed softly. The master and servant exchanged a glance and shook their heads at each other.

Ashmi's form gradually dissipated, eventually turning into a wisp of silver mist and returning to Bai Shi's body.

Ashmi had returned to his body, and Bai Shi also stood up and stretched his body.

Just then, Melina and Lani came out of the room and walked to his side.

Bai Shi glanced at the two hands resting on his shoulders, and felt a sudden, inexplicable panic. He coughed lightly and said:
"Get ready to go."

"Before everything settles down, there are still some minor issues to deal with."
-
The round table hall, which Bai Shi hadn't visited in a long time, was still bustling with activity.

However, compared to before, the number of people has gradually decreased, far from its most glorious period.

The reason for this is, of course, that the faded ones have chosen places like Stoneville and Moen City, which are more suitable for settling down.

Those who remain in the round table hall, having faded into obscurity, are mostly those who shuttle between the two places.

But for Gideon, this was just right.

The round table hall should return to its elitist era, instead of allowing those trembling, pitiful creatures to huddle together for warmth.

Although the round table hall suited his taste better, Baizhi was not happy.

Because recently, an unseen and intangible secret has been shrouding his heart like a fog.

Throughout, Baizhi always felt that he was being guided by Queen Marika.

Therefore, he accepted the guidance he received and continued to work towards it.

'Those who fade cannot become kings, no matter who they are.'

Humans cannot kill gods.

In Baizhi's eyes, what Queen Marika longed for was the mutual distrust among the Faded Ones.

Queen Marika wanted them to maintain the status quo and keep struggling.

Bai Zhi firmly believed this until Bai Shi appeared.

They defeated demigods one by one, expanding their territory to every corner of the border regions.

Bai Zhi witnessed Bai Shi's transformation from a novice to the glorious Sun King, and naturally knew the power he possessed.

—Bai Shi's speed in reaching the top even surpassed that of King Gefulei, whom Bai Zhi had previously served.

Especially when he saw the sunlight shining on the border, no matter how resolute Baizhi was, he had to accept one fact:
Since Bai Shi has proven with facts that those who fade can not only become kings, but perhaps even kill gods...

Therefore, the only thing that could be wrong is the guidance he has always believed in and the guidance he has been given.

Although Baizhi was unwilling to believe it emotionally, his rationality far outweighed his emotions.

Because in the temple of knowledge and wisdom, there is no place for sophists, only for the existence of truth.

So he accepted this and began to search for the source of the misleading guidance.

After continuous collection and searching, people as clever and resourceful as Baizhi did indeed discover something.

From knowledge and from history, he discovered a shadow.

Once you put everything together, you'll find there are inexplicable mysteries at play.

Even though Baizhi is not like the Golden Mask, who has studied the Golden Law so deeply that he can even find the names of the gods in the law.

However, relying on his wisdom, once he noticed something amiss, he investigated further and naturally discovered the problem.

All the clues in this mystery point to Radagan.

This king consort, the second King of Elden, seems to be more than just a hero who shone brightly on the battlefield.

He seems to hold a secret that could unveil the 'truth' that lies beneath the surface of the border region...

Now, Baizhi has grasped one end of the thread, waiting only to slowly unravel the mystery and find the truth. So, in the round room, Baizhi is more focused than ever on reviewing the intelligence gathered by his informants.

Suddenly, Ensha, Baizhi's guard, pushed open the door and stood in front of him, weapon in hand.

Following Ensha's gaze, Baizhi looked ahead and saw the air slightly distorted, and a dark figure slowly appeared out of thin air.

Slud appeared in the room and politely bowed to the two people in front of her, master and servant.

Upon seeing Ensha and noticing her arrival, Slud couldn't help but give him an approving look.

They had investigated Eunha beforehand; she was quite strong and very capable as an assassin.

Unexpectedly, this silent fellow's strength seemed to extend beyond what he had shown.

Bai Zhi looked at Slud calmly, somewhat surprised by her arrival.

It was a black-knife assassin... This was something he had never expected.

Although he had already learned about these ghostly assassins from various rumors and records, the truth was even more astonishing than he had expected.

But that's not surprising, considering that even 'Gold' Godwin died at their hands.

In terms of assassin methods, they are definitely the most terrifying killers on the border.

Despite the formidable threat Silud, Baizhi calmly waved his hand, signaling Ensha to step back.

If the goal was to assassinate him, the Black Knife Assassin wouldn't need to show himself at all, given his abilities.

Before Ensha noticed, such close proximity was more than enough to launch an attack.

However, the other party did not make a move or leave immediately after being discovered; instead, they appeared openly and honestly.

There must be special circumstances involved, such as her master having something to say to her.

Seeing that Ensha had stopped attacking, Slud continued to take action.

She walked to Bai Zhi's table, took out the scroll that Bai Shi had given her, and gently placed it on the table.

“Gideon Ofnir, ‘Sir Hundred Wisdom,’ my master has something to give you.”

"My master is eagerly awaiting your reaction and hopes you will take a look."

Having said that, Slud stepped aside and waited quietly.

Baizhi fearlessly accepted the scroll and then used the principle of regression to trigger the small mechanism left on it.

He already knew the owner of the black-knife assassin, so he wasn't worried about any traps involved.

That Sun King would not do such a despicable thing to his weak opponent.

Since the other party wants him to see what's on it, there must be a reason.

He opened the scroll and spread it out before him, examining it quietly.

However, the moment he saw the contents, Baizhi's fingers gripped the scroll tightly, squeezing the thin scroll into deep creases.

He stared wide-eyed in disbelief, stood up abruptly, and the chair he was sitting on was pushed far away.

He slammed the scroll on the table, panting heavily, sweat instantly dripping down his helmet.

Seeing Bai Zhi's unusual behavior, Ensha immediately assumed that the scroll was cursed, and charged at Slud with his weapon.

Slud, unaware of its contents, was utterly bewildered by the situation and could only draw her black sword in a defensive stance.

"stop!"

"I'm fine, you may leave."

Upon hearing Bai Zhi's voice, En Xia stopped in her tracks, but remained in a stalemate.

After a while, the two of them put down their weapons.

Bai Zhi stared blankly at the contents of the scroll, then slowly closed his eyes in disbelief.

Even with his eyes closed, the content kept echoing in his mind.

'Radagan...is that Marika?'

'Radagan is Marika?!'

With this most important secret being cracked, countless things were instantly connected in Baizhi's mind.

Bai Zhi opened his eyes and slowly sat back down in the chair.

He already knows, he knows everything.

All the guidance I had received was misleading.

The purpose was to keep the faded ones away from the golden tree as much as possible.

He was proud of his vast knowledge, but he was wrong; he was kept in the dark.

Bai Shi is the correct one.

Bai Zhi took a deep breath, then looked at Slud and solemnly said:

"I already know what this means."

"At the same time, they also realized the legitimacy of that king."

"Would I have the chance to see him one more time?"

"He is right."
-
Under the ever-bustling starry sky underground, Schiff lay bored on the ground, yawning.

My original plan was to come back immediately, but it has been sleeping here for several days now.

Just as Schiff was contemplating whether to take another nap or go somewhere else, Bai Shi finally appeared before him.

From Stoneville, Bai Shi led the two back to the underground.

Upon seeing Bai Shi arrive, Shif immediately got up from the ground and affectionately approached him, his tail wagging like a propeller behind him.

Upon seeing Schiff, Lani's eyes lit up, and she quickly stepped forward to touch his lush green fur.

Seeing that Lani liked Sif very much, Bai Shi smiled and said:

"I never expected you to like Schiff so much,"

Lani turned around, raised an eyebrow at Bai Shi, and then began to explain:
“The Kalia royal family also has a pact with the wolf pack.”

"For Kalia, wolves are reliable allies."

"Moreover, I have never seen such a beautiful and powerful wolf in the border areas."

Lani excitedly looked Sif up and down, rubbing his shiny fur.

Having eliminated his greatest threat, the two fingers returned to their original form... and now he was with the person he loved.

Lani is more relaxed than ever before, doing whatever she wants.

Although there were still enemies to be dealt with, she was no longer worried at this point.

She knew that with Bai Shi's current strength, the only thing he needed to consider was the order in which they should be dealt with.

Seeing that Lani truly liked Shif, Bai Shi asked:

"So... do you want Schiff to drive you later?"

Without a second thought, Lani immediately nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Melina shook her head, blew the spirit horse whistle, and rode on Torret's back one after the other with Bai Shi.

Seeing this, Lani's eyes twitched, and she suddenly regretted her decision.
