Frilian at Elden Ring

"Any advice on learning more magic from teachers?"

"The first choice would be a magic academy, but many of their traditions have been interrupted and they have become isolated. From your point of view, Sir Hundred Wisdom might be more suitable."

"Someone recommended it to me, so we can discuss it at the Round Table Hall later..."

Then Frilian and Seren continued to discuss the current direction of improving soul magic, and how to simplify the steps to make them as easy to learn as possible.

It would be best to have knowledge of prayer to assist you.

But their experience is enough to handle it now, at least enough to reduce the mana cost of soul magic, so that more people with mild zombification can be healed more quickly and efficiently.

During this time, Frilian once again tried to persuade her teacher to delve deeper into the study of the Soul School, but the latter still refused, though he became more interested than before.

She hadn't forgotten the tragedy that players had warned her about in the previous comments.

Perhaps the research on turning magicians into spheres is wrong, and we must stop that from happening. We should start with subtle changes and gradually change Professor Seren's attitude.

During the banquet.

Kenneth was in charge of entertaining the noble guests, handling all the social interactions with them—a skill he was adept at. Moreover, everyone knew the new king disliked routines and preferred things to operate according to established logic, thus creating a mutually beneficial situation.

“I think His Majesty is lacking a resounding title, such as the Blessed King of Rodel.”

Someone made the suggestion with great enthusiasm.

"Didn't it already have a name?"

"Of course it's the Soul King, who possesses unparalleled magic and supreme power."

Kenneth made the final decision, which was approved by everyone. They shouted his name in unison, and it quickly spread throughout the banquet, eventually becoming a consensus.

The commotion was so great that even Frilian, who was focused on magic, noticed it. Anyway, she didn't understand why the nobles liked this kind of thing, so she just let them be. Then, only one task remained for Stoneville City.

Despite its glamorous appearance, Stoneville, the city that hosts guests from afar, is actually just a main city.

Frillie's vision was never limited to this.

Otherwise, how could he, like Grek, call himself the Golden King but stay in the castle all day researching limb extensions? That wouldn't do. If he were more proactive and went out to explore and hunt monsters, he might become even stronger.

Therefore, she will continue to travel, and can simply be a hands-off manager when it comes to governance.

As Edgar said, "As long as His Majesty sets a good example and leaves a standard workflow, things will be much easier afterward," at least allowing him to extricate himself from the situation.

The tone of the border areas should not be one of meticulous governance, but rather one of domineering conquest.

The goal is to clear the map.

As a complete collector, Frilian always adheres to the principle of thorough searching. Moreover, there are still many cave dungeons in the Nymgford region that are not to be missed. Without them, transportation will be more convenient, the environment will be completely renewed, and more people can live and work in peace.

But the most urgent task is to go to Da Cifu; we can't keep standing people up. We should go and meet with our fading colleagues.

In particular, Shuangzhi is very knowledgeable about the Great Rune and knows many unknown secrets on the border, which should be able to play an intelligence role, which is better than being completely in the dark.

Moreover, she heard that Sir Hundred Wisdom had mastered the prayers related to the Crimson Corruption.

Skillful.

The Galid region was something she would have to go to sooner or later, and in Frilian's mind, it even slightly outranked the magic academy, because of strategic considerations.

Once Stoneville, representing the First Rebel Force, enters the territory of Lake Lienia, it means that it is only a line away from the Altar Plateau, which may directly trigger a war in front of the elevator, eventually leading to widespread flames of war.

There's no need to prematurely provoke the sensitive nerves of the Blessed Prince; we should deal with him slowly and methodically.

Therefore, Galid became the preferred option.

However, before that, the defenses of Stoneville need to be carefully arranged, since the possibility of the royal city sending troops to harass them cannot be ruled out.

During the meeting between the thrones.

Kenneth excitedly reported: "Your Majesty, the reserves of Ningmgfu and the entire Sobbing Peninsula are now open to us. Here is a summary list... Resources from all over the country can be mobilized if necessary."

Frillie glanced at it and remembered it instantly.

She found the trick. It's the same principle as magic: memorize it first, then figure out the basic resources of the area, such as manpower, minerals, and equipment. Know yourself and your enemy.

"In addition, they have already sent a lot of gifts during the coronation ceremony, including but not limited to spellbooks, forging stones, lilies of the grave, weapons, armor and a series of items... which should be helpful to your exploration."

"Due to improved security in the surrounding area, some villages have chosen to relocate to the vicinity of Stoneville, which may lead to the formation of a large urban area."

The more Kenneth talked, the more excited he became, his eyes shining. Could this be a sign that he's about to become the King of the City?

Rodel's grandeur stemmed not only from its palaces, but also from the numerous dwellings of the Golden People that collectively protected the entire city.

Therefore, the area within the walls was essentially a kingdom, rich in resources, populous, and well-equipped. The efficiency and strength brought about by this centralization allowed the Yatan Plateau to dominate the surrounding areas, and its unique advantages facilitated its rule.

Perhaps the land beneath our feet will work too.

"As His Majesty instructed, we specifically recruited mages and gathered the existing ones, but their intelligence level may not meet the requirements..."

"It's alright, there's already a simplified version of the Soul Healing Spell."

"what?"

Seeing everyone's stunned expressions, Frilian waved her hand and explained, "To be precise, it's called the Soothing Technique, a minimally weakened version. At most, it can suppress the zombification and calm the target. Using it too much will greatly reduce its effectiveness. It can only be used as a temporary measure, but it can help more people learn it."

"That's enough. This is a revolutionary discovery, enough to spread."

Now they couldn't help but admire her. They hadn't expected that Frilian had been diligently researching the simplification plan and was willing to share it with everyone selflessly, without any secrets.

The level of one's character is the reason for being a king. This level of vision is comparable to that of Rataen, who sealed away the stars.

Besides, she was far from satisfied.

In the days following his coronation, he frequently studied magic with Serenity, working day and night. It is said that he even planned to cleanse the Crimson Corruption, something that even the pure god Michaela had not been able to do back then.

It is this ambitious passion that has created this strength, and those who know all this are even more convinced and full of admiration.

"Your Majesty, your great innovation..."

"Let's get down to business. The main task right now is to repair the city walls and guard against the forces of the Blessed King. Not only them, but we also need to be careful of harassment from the academy. After all, we just became enemies, and we don't want to be stabbed in the back. Let's feign weakness and focus on defense."

Frillie's usual caution also influenced her subordinates, who all nodded in obedience.

The following meetings were nothing more than dealing with minor details, and Wang only needed to provide general directions, but they still lasted from morning until afternoon.

The character 赐福 (blessing) is located beside the dot.

The silver-haired girl patted the crown on her head, which supposedly had special resistance enhancements, so she decided to leave it for now. In addition, she wore a dancer's armor upper body, light armor arm armor, and a mage's long robe lower body, and was ready.

Compared to the elaborate attire for a coronation, a style that combines flexibility and defense suits me better.

"Melina, I'm ready to go and bestow blessings anytime."

According to the plan, once the basic matters of Stoneville City were settled, Edgar, Kenneth, and others would take care of the operation, and she would need to fulfill her promise to visit.

There are many familiar faces in the round table hall, such as Little Red Riding Hood Rodrik, and the hunter D. We can catch up.

The girl in the travel dress appeared, scrutinizing him from head to toe, and murmured, "Looking at you, I thought you were going to explore a cave. Do you think there's any danger in the Great Blessing?"

"I don't know, but it's Sir Hundred Wisdom's territory after all, so it's best to be careful."

That's one of the characters in the opening scene, and the information he learns upon arriving at the border keeps increasing in value, so we must be wary.

Don't be careless.

A careless approach could lead even those with no ill intentions to have wild fantasies, turning them into enemies if they weren't originally. Besides, there's another important figure involved: Two-Fingers. What kind of person is this self-proclaimed representative of supreme will? We'll understand after a while.

"...I still feel like it's all a bit unreal, you know? Frilian, at first I thought it would be good enough if you were already somewhat famous in the Round Table Hall."

“But you were already a Fragment King before you went to the Great Blessing Space, standing at the pinnacle from the very beginning.”

Even with Melina's optimism, she couldn't have foreseen this day.

"So your mission is progressing at an unexpected speed, isn't it?"

Although Frilian never quite understood what the witch meant by "mission," it should be a good thing for her. Upon hearing this, a hint of melancholy flashed in the girl's single, open eye.

"Correct."

"Then let's set off immediately."

"Take my hand, let's teleport now."

The instant her fingertips touched Melina's, Frilian felt a strong pulling sensation; it was a suction force emanating from the Blessing Point.

In the blink of an eye, the field of vision began to stretch and flatten, transforming into a series of flowing lines, just like the usual Blessing Point teleportation, except that the energy reaction of the target on the other side was even more magnificent.

call!

Suddenly, all was quiet, and the scene focused on a huge round table.

At the very center of the desktop was a massive, blessed shadow that stretched to the ceiling, radiating light and spreading protective power that enveloped all around. No wonder it was called an independent space; ordinary attacks simply couldn't reach it.

"It's worth studying carefully..."

"I didn't expect to see you again so soon. You look great, Frilian."

Just as the silver-haired girl was lost in thought, the voice of an old friend came through the air; it was none other than Hunter D, who was fully armored and wearing a mask.

When they first met in Shuihuan Village, one side was helpless against the territory occupied by the Deadborn, while the other side knew nothing about the Deadborn. Yet, they worked together to successfully wipe them out. Now, they feel somewhat emotional.

"You're still the same as always, always in a rush."

"Actually, it's much better. There's been less information about the Deadborn lately. I heard from Roger that you purified the roots of Stoneville City, right?"

"Yes."

Frillie was just trying her luck with a real-world attempt to purify the undead, and surprisingly, it did have some effect.

It was a pleasant surprise; I should have saved my game and gone back to collect more purification magic.

"Your actions are very important. At least you have stopped the spread of the root contamination. Otherwise, simply blocking the roots beneath Stoneville City might have allowed the contamination to overflow, which would have been troublesome if the entire Nymgford were to be overrun with dead beings."

"It certainly sounds thrilling when you describe it that way."

"With you here, we've already suppressed the biggest source of pollution in the region. After all, the dead prince's thick skin can't be sealed off by ordinary means."

D's face remained expressionless, but his approving gaze fell upon his colleague. To him, the achievement of cleansing the dead was far more admirable than becoming king; those were the very contaminants of the first dead.

The original solution was simply to run around hunting monsters.

Now, a method has emerged that can suppress it to some extent at its root—how can this not be surprising? It's known that Frilian has researched soul magic? Could she also have death magic?

"Don't exaggerate my role; I'm still a long way from truly solving the problem."

"One day you can go to the starting point of the two underground rivers at the border, where the answer may lie deep in the roots of the Golden Tree. Of course, you can also ask Miss Fia about the Deadborn."

D pointed to a room.
