Frilian at Elden Ring

This person is the expert who has been recommended several times, the "gentle haven" in the mouths of many faded figures, who plays a unique role in the round table hall, but is also looked down upon and despised by many more.

“Hero who has come under the guidance of the blessing, it is a pleasure to meet you. My name is Fia, and I am staying in the Round Table Hall for some reason.”

"I didn't see you at the banquet."

"I am not suited to those lively occasions."

Suddenly she changed the subject, "Rather than chatting... just for a moment, can I hold you tight? Consider it a share of my strength and willpower to survive. While holding my hero, I will feel your warmth and also bring you the blessing of the bed curtains."

Although she had inquired beforehand, Frilian hadn't expected such a direct approach.

"Would you find this behavior distasteful? But in my hometown, it is a practice with sacred significance."

"can."

She slowly leaned down to accept the embrace. Fia's arms encircled her shoulders and neck, the soft touch of her chest against her cheeks filling the air with her fragrance. Their body heat mingled, creating a strange sense of relaxation, and they could even hear each other's heartbeats clearly.

A moment later, Fia loosened her grip slightly, her strength waning, and whispered in her ear:

"You are so warm. What is now illuminating your body is the grace of the bed curtains, but it is very short-lived and fleeting. When you need grace, please come to me, and no matter how many times, I will hold you tightly."

After saying this, the woman in the black dress slowly released her embrace. For those experiencing this for the first time, it was necessary to savor the moment to avoid an overreaction.

However, Frillie remained calm throughout, presumably due to her composed personality and the composure of a strong person; otherwise, most people would be very wary of such slightly dangerous contact.

She truly deserves the title of the new King of the Fragments.

You have obtained the item "Bed Curtain Blessing".

[The blessings brought by the girl in death sleep]

[A secret temple resembling a dormitory room provides protection]

[Can consume Focus Points to temporarily increase Resilience]

That blessing will make one forget all pain.

Only by feeling nothing can one die peacefully.

The specific values ​​are: lasting for 15 seconds, gaining low-priority super armor, suffering 0.66 times poise reduction, and 35% physical damage reduction. For Frilian, the effect is negligible, and it is better to make up for it with skillful play. However, there is no doubt that she has gained something extra, which is an unexpected treasure.

The round table party certainly brought many surprises, but let's not forget the main business. With Fia's connections, she should know quite a few clues.

Instead of Frillie, who was pondering her words, Fia patted the bed, gesturing for the guest to sit down.

They were both interested in each other.

If the former was merely trying to gather information and become familiar with the regular allies in the Round Table Hall, then the latter also wanted to test the new demigod.

The holder of the Great Rune has not changed for so many years. This change is no less than a storm passing through the borderlands. Such a person is right in front of you and may have an impact on all parties. It is impossible not to pay attention.

The silver-haired girl's calm and composed demeanor throughout actually frightened Fia a little.

People who have lost their charisma are usually wary of unexpected favors, and even the thick-skinned ones will pretend to refuse.

However, Frilian remained calm and unperturbed throughout, completely unconcerned about the rumors surrounding her. Although she was not arrogant and even quite low-key, her confidence as an absolute powerhouse was undeniable.

She was confident in handling any extraordinary emergency, so she sat down on the edge of the bed without hesitation, waiting for the next sentence:

"Do we need another hug? Even if your grace has not yet faded."

"can."

The two of them simply repeated the process as usual, while Fia whispered in her ear:

“I know what you want to know… In my hometown, I was called the Sleeping Maiden. After receiving warmth from countless heroes and the strength to survive, I could restore noble life to greatness by sharing a bed with the corpses of the great. I exist for this purpose.”

"But before the great ones could regain their lives, I was awakened by the blessing and driven out of my homeland."

"You must have noticed it too, but even so, I still want to be a sleepless girl, so no matter how many times, let me hold you tight like this."

伮。

She released her embrace a moment later.

Actually, what I said just now already hinted at something.

The great being she is to help is the Death Prince Godwin, and even to create the Restoration Runes containing the Deathborn, and to enter a new era at the boundary that allows them to exist. This is a very difficult mission.

Frillie had guessed some of it, and could even spoil the plot in advance based on player suggestions.

However, it's best to maintain the mystery from the first meeting, make your own speculations, and then verify the information you gather.

"Your Majesty, is there anything you wish to ask?"

"I've heard that at the foot of the Golden Tree, deep within its roots lies the body of Godwin. His untimely death infected the roots, giving rise to the Dead Ones, which were the trigger for this calamity... Is that right?"

"Correct."

"I thought you would say that the conspiracy of Black Knife Night caused everything."

"It's pointless and too troublesome to dwell on that kind of thing. We should focus on the most fundamental and direct source, and then deal with the disaster properly."

Fia asked, "Do you mean that one day you're going to the deepest levels of society? To one of the most mysterious places on the border?"

"Sooner or later I will travel to every inch of the border region."

Frillie had made up her mind about this from the beginning, and Grandma Enya had also suggested the same thing. It would be difficult to find out the truth without being involved; we had to go there to get a complete picture.

Besides, she would definitely investigate the most magnificent things in the world, and the Golden Tree must be very important; she couldn't afford not to find out about it.

Upon hearing this, Fiya's face darkened.

It's hard to say right now how the Wangge Faded Ones view the Deadborn and the Dead Prince. What if they think, like D and Granger, that they should be completely eliminated?

Her own business was far too weak and isolated, but she was already used to it.

The key lies in the attitude of Frilian, who is worth pursuing; with the power of the Fragment King, one can make a significant bet.

"...Your Majesty, if there were a way for the Dead to walk safely in the world without harming anyone, such as restoring the runes, what do you think of such a boundary? Can you accept their existence?"

“The dead are only a part of many calamities; there are also corrupt relatives, madness, and ominous signs, all of which deserve our careful attention.”

"What do you mean?"

“Any minor repairs to the runes are pointless; I’m even starting to doubt the Golden Law.”

Frillian confessed: "I want to find a better greatest common denominator, so that the normal cycle of death can return, the crimson corruption can fade away, the madness can be sealed forever... and finally the borderlands can be prosperous, and more people can benefit from it."

She doesn't need to hide her goals; she can just speak openly about them. She should let everyone know and encourage potential like-minded people.

Moreover, the opening introduction states that the Elden Ring worldview is already in a state of considerable decline and needs a radical overhaul, such as completely changing the laws.

Upon hearing this, Fiya was slightly taken aback and could hardly believe it.

It's too grandiose. He's still considering the issues of the Deadborn, while the legendary Soul King is considering another borderland. People who don't know the situation might laugh out loud.

But what underpins this serious attitude is absolute strength, without a doubt.

Facts speak louder than words. The healing and restoration that occurred in Nymgford are evident to all, and it is a self-renewal that took place without the power of the Dharma Ring.

"I have heard that the outbreak of the dead has ceased in Your Majesty's territory, the necrosis has been contained, and the dragon-eaters have become healthier. It is indeed a spark of a new era. I sincerely offer my blessings and hope that the borderlands will change from now on."

"I don't know enough about dealing with the dead and the living; we need to go deeper into the grassroots."

"Rigorousness is a good thing."

"Does Ms. Fia know how to get there?"

"Theoretically, it would be possible to go straight upstream by crossing the two underground rivers, but it is fraught with danger."

"For example?"

"There lie the ruins of the Eternal City there, and no one knows what this ancient civilization, hidden for so many years, has given rise to. There are also rumors of a mysterious Blood Dynasty, not to mention the guardians surrounding the tree roots. After all, it leads to the royal city, so it is, in a way, a path..."

Since the Faded Ones will eventually find out about Nafia, it's better to reveal it now, just to build a good relationship, as it might come in handy in the future.

Frilian listened attentively and realized that the lower levels of the borderlands were far more vast than she had imagined. Unfortunately, due to the sealing of the stars, access to the Eternal City was temporarily impossible.

"By the way, if possible, please also investigate the curse marks of death, as they are related to the Moon Princess."

"I'll keep an eye out."

Furthermore, Lani should also know the relevant information about the road to the Eternal City. It seems that she should open a blessing point in Kalia Fortress before going to the Battle Festival, which makes the future plan clearer.

The two chatted for a few more minutes before the conversation came to an end.

They both knew that many topics were probably not the right time yet and that they would have to wait until they understood each other better.

"Take care, Your Majesty. I have a feeling that you will change far more than just the dead; the countless living beings in the borderlands are also hoping for hope."

"See you later."

Even so, Frilian didn't rush to leave the Round Table Hall, but instead checked the relevant messages in the corridor, which hinted at a side quest!

78

Chapter 78 Returning to Reality.

After all, how could the girl who was introduced at the beginning not leave a deep impression?

Frillie assumed that she had access to crucial information about these important figures after making contact, so she had been inquiring about them. Among those she had met so far in the Round Table Hall were Sir Hundred Wisdom and the Sleeping Girl.

The former is mysterious and doesn't reveal any key information. If you ask too many questions, he will evade the issue and is difficult to deal with. It is estimated that the conflict will last until the middle or later stages.

The latter did provide some crucial information.

Fia described the basics, including the deep roots, the underground river, and the Eternal City, which corroborated the knowledge Melina had mentioned, greatly supplementing the information.

That's why Frilline felt that it might involve some important subplot, and she wouldn't feel at ease without taking a look.

[A tragedy preceded it]

[I knew it! I'd help people and they'd die. All that running around, all that effort, and in the end I'd just witness them die. Okay, I'm used to it, I'm not angry anymore.]

There's no other way; we must complete this side quest to repair Rune, as it's related to an ending and can't be missed.

【My Fia! Oh my god, how could she suddenly be gone?】

Don't be too sad, many of Fia's heroes will share your burden.

The side quest rewards are quite good. From the Round Table Hall to the deepest levels of the roots, it's a long and arduous journey. It truly lives up to its reputation as an ending-choice side quest, especially the exhilarating boss battle – nothing but spectacular special effects!

I wouldn't mind giving the ending of The Hidden Deathbringer a good review, but it only solved one problem. There's still a huge amount of corruption left, and the Mad Fire could cause chaos at any time.

Let's only consider one answer.
