Frilian at Elden Ring

Suddenly, a stream of runes emanated from the amber and reached out to Frillie, as if it were a belated gift of victory.

Melina exclaimed in surprise, "For many years, the Full Moon Queen has stored all the runes she has collected in amber. It must have taken defeating her and then using the Great Runes to draw them out. This is the reserve of a demigod!"

"Since you don't mind, Lena, I'll accept it. Melina, help me strengthen, as usual."

Upon hearing this, the witch immediately focused intently on guiding Rune.

call!

As Frilian's magic power increased, it indeed triggered the extraction of a new MOD. Sure enough, only a large influx of runes at the demigod level could change the mod configuration.

The new "Small Resource Map" mod refreshes, allowing you to sense the location of different resources within a certain area.

[A boon for complete collectors! Avoid missing anything and ensure you explore the entire map!]

The range depends on her mental perception, but it's enough for her, saving her a lot of effort. Actually, refreshing the module won't directly change her strength; the key is improving the experience. This is crucial; she was worried that Lienia was too vast to collect everything.

Despite the long-standing presence of the Kalia royal family and the magic academy in this area, many ruins and labyrinths have not been thoroughly explored and remain to be discovered.

Unfortunately, they didn't know much either.

That's why she left space for Frilian to explore. Of course, as her political duties increased, she reduced her travels, leaving some monster spawn points and small mazes to the army, as a way for them to train.

Having a small resource map allows you to decide whether to use a strategy that suits your needs or let the army handle it.

Only by establishing an appropriate standard and enabling subordinates to grow stronger together through continuous exploration can we hope to defeat the Royal City Army.

well.

This will further solidify our control over Lienia.

Furthermore, she confirmed that the Stargazer account's power had increased significantly, after all, it was runes accumulated by a demigod. Moving around the borderlands mainly relied on the power of affinity, which she was happy to do, since she had her main body's power as a safety net.

"Your basic attributes have all been allocated. Excluding the power and skills outside of your border areas, you're already considered a regular hero-level mage. How does that feel?"

"Everything is normal. I guess Edgar and the others have collected the documents. Let's go."

"That's good."

Melina was well aware that Frilian also harbored many secrets, such as the unfathomable power that frequently showed signs of conflict, as if she were using her own body as a vessel to balance different forces.

Torrett has a truly discerning eye; he has identified a genius.

The Faded One maintains a terrifying balance within his body, and now he's about to produce even more Great Runes. It's insane. Is it true that the more debts you have, the more burdens you carry?

If she hadn't consistently acted reliably, Melina would have advised her to behave herself long ago; fortunately, all was well.

"By the way, I almost forgot."

Suddenly, the silver-haired girl turned to the apprentices and asked, "Would you like to step outside the library and take a look? Perhaps we could study together?"

"……Um."

Although the voice was unclear and the syllables were complicated and indistinct, the meaning was indeed conveyed.

As a living being, one naturally craves more space, and the aura emanating from Frilian is reassuring and trustworthy, and should be able to heal the strange state of one's body.

They even stood up on their own initiative, initially walking unsteadily, but then becoming more and more steady with each step, and followed behind her.

The library doors were wide open, and the bright sunlight shone on everyone.

Frillie waved and strode off, the other apprentices following. It was their first time stepping into the magic academy, despite being there.

……

Five days after the Battle of the Church.

During this time, Frilian and her group did not do anything else but mainly deal with documents and make repairs.

The arrival of the first official caravan connecting Stoneville City and the Magic Academy proved that large-scale trade was feasible, a first in thousands of years.

Similarly, many civilians who voluntarily surrendered were also brought in. They could wait for the lake region to gradually recover and were also allowed to go south. Anyway, the land is vast and sparsely populated now, so it doesn't matter where they go, it's all the same, so it's up to them.

If it's so convenient for civilians to travel, it will be even easier for the military to travel between them.

Every day, Frillie had to be received by a new Confederate unit and discuss the current situation with their officers:

The basic renovation of the college has been completed.

Its preservation was already better than that of Stoneville, which was left in a state of disarray under the rule of Grek. The wealthy and powerful Kalia royal family had a strong foundation, and the academic faction had been consolidating its power, so it had been transformed into a fortress.

The reason for the continuous deployment of troops is that this area has become the de facto front line, and it is essential to firmly hold the elevator area.

"Wouldn't it be too early to just go and occupy the elevators?"

Fleury asked.

"It's indeed early, so we're only stationed around the Church of Union, and we'll advance the rest slowly."

"Alright."

"After all, according to your instructions, the most urgent task is to deal with the monsters in Lienia, otherwise it will affect normal passage. This will be the work of the army for some time to come."

"This strategy is correct; proceed with caution."

The report stated that a monster called the Royal Ghost was encountered during the march, and it took a lot of effort to subdue it. Even the experienced soldiers said that the thing was terrifying, and its slaps were as strong as a whirlwind.

It's a pity that Frilian was somewhat disappointed when she heard the news, as it was clearly a difficult monster to deal with.

It turned out that having the army clear the surrounding area was the right approach, as many villagers began to go out and about, bringing a renewed sense of vitality.

In fact, she had gone out these past few days and explored the surrounding area using the "small resource map." Instead of exploring, she marked the points and drew a map to hand over to the army, so that she could avoid some dangerous locations.

The small maze can be left to them.

The challenges should be kept to yourself; that's the fun of collecting.

"In addition, many people want to join the army."

Edgar reported with a smile, "They used to have reservations, but now they think we are the army that can defeat the royal city."

"If you use too many shoddy tricks, you won't get a second chance at victory. Be careful in your selection."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

At the same time, Mugram also suggested: "I think we can appropriately break up and reorganize the troops in the Lienia region and integrate them into the Southern Army's system. Compared to General Edgar, we haven't fought a war for too many years and lack experience."

Frilian nodded. "You have a good eye. Let's do it this way. With Kalia's power, it should be able to increase significantly."

She realized that Mugram was actively trying to gain trust, even at the cost of weakening the noble army system, because only by truly integrating into the power of the new fragment king could one be considered to be on the same boat.

That's so convenient, saving me from all the indirect probing.

Furthermore, the strength, training, and command system of the Kalia Knights are seamlessly integrated, making up for a major weakness of a severe shortage of officers.

Although Frilian doesn't know much about military matters, she can see that the army that has absorbed the power of both places is getting stronger.

"Teacher Seren, what are the mages like? Are they willing to join?"

"Don't worry, apart from the die-hard academics, there are actually many people willing to participate in this once-in-a-millennium battle for the title of king, especially since she is a top-tier mage. In short, they can become combatants with a little training."

"How's the apprenticeship?"

“They learn quickly no matter what I teach them and have the potential to form a high-ranking mage corps. As long as you continue to use your soul healing to help them become whole, you will definitely become an asset.”

Serian was very satisfied with the reopening of the classroom and the return of many students; it was even less troublesome than before.

After all, these beings created by the secret arts of life are like blank slates, yet they possess exceptional talent and their study of magic progresses by leaps and bounds. Both teachers and students feel that they work together seamlessly, making progress every single day.

"My soul magic is now complete; I just need time for the target to recover his mental strength."

Whenever she has free time, Frilian will activate her Blessing.

A torrent of dewdrops fell from the sky, accompanied by a refreshing fragrance that healed the soul, reversed the living dead, and refracted a rainbow bridge in the sunlight.

Absolutely stunning!

This iconic landscape has become the most desirable place in Lienia, spontaneously forming settlements around the magic academy.

Villagers, drawn by its reputation, brought their families to be healed and then praised the Soul King.

They've suffered too much from being turned into zombies. They thought it was incredible when they first heard it could suppress pain and the mutation process, but now that it's confirmed to be curable, isn't that comparable to the power of the Magic Ring? No, that thing hasn't been active for a long time.

Since Her Majesty Frilian is the one who possesses the first miracle magic, and the dew that falls can also save lives, she will naturally become an object of worship for those who receive the blessing.

As a result, the nobles also became more closely connected, since this blessing was greater than any reward.

"The royal army will not interfere with us for the time being."

Edgar said, "King Blessed is probably in a lot of trouble because the Volcano Palace is sending small forces to harass the Altar Plateau."

"We must seize the opportunity."

"Your Majesty should gather all the resources of the academy, such as magic and wands, which should be of great use to you."

Frillie nodded, implying that the rest of the work was up to them.

Research into the secrets of life's creation is progressing very slowly, and forcing it won't work. It's better to take a break and see if there are any other discoveries.

"Okay, I'll go find the collectibles."

Edgar paused, looking at the silver-haired girl's eager expression. "Your Majesty, the academy is now under your control. There's no need for you to search for it yourself. I've already ordered them to hand over the treasure; it's just procedure."

As expected, Frilian made no attempt to hide her disappointment; how could the process be omitted?

“Disciple, you should go and take a look. There are many wonderful magics and items in the academy that we can only collect but cannot use. You can definitely do it.”

See you later.

Since Professor Selian is making suggestions, I should definitely take a look.

Everyone expressed their anticipation, wondering what would happen if this already top-tier mage advanced further. They weren't worried about any incompatibility. It seemed that any power could be used by Frilian, encompassing everything without conflict, even Crimson Corruption.

She is so versatile; if she possessed the accumulated knowledge and resources of a magic academy over thousands of years or even longer, she would be no weaker than a large rune.

……

College discussion room.

The place, once ravaged by battle, has now been cleaned up and is now tidy and clean.

The only jarring element was the stacks of books piled up, practically serving as a backdrop. Throughout the Lienia region, the interior design style is largely characterized by an abundance of books.

However, Frilian really enjoyed this atmosphere of being surrounded by knowledge.

As she looked around as she arrived, the long-waiting mages immediately greeted her with fawning expressions, saying that she was "paying tribute to the new ruler of the magic academy."

That's quite the aristocratic air.
