Frillian in the Elden Ring

"Correct."

"—Since you've inquired, you must know the reason."

"I think this is the right choice, because taking the Royal City is at most the end of one stage, or rather, we shouldn't regard it as the end of everything, otherwise we will be blinded by interests. My two brothers and I originally thought that the Royal City would be the end of everything, so we ignored other places and failed."

The lessons learned from the past were bloody, so Lani felt that she should take a broader view.

"Also, I'd like to ask you to heal the apprentices that Mother created. You can also recruit them as your own. They should be able to become a good magician group."

"give it to me."

"I should be asleep for a while. See you later."

"If I successfully perfect the secret technique of life creation, can I also create a body for you to get rid of the disadvantages of constant sleep?"

"Thank you for thinking of me, but the more important reason is that I will be more concealed in my sleeping state and avoid the threat of the Two-Finger Killer, such as those difficult shadow beasts. They are very tricky."

"I heard Blaze mention him... He doesn't seem to be a very powerful guy."

Fulilian implied that if we can even deal with a team like yours, isn’t our combat effectiveness enough now?

Although her style is steady, she has always been an offensive person in strategy. If you put yourself in her shoes, you will not tolerate repeated harassment from two fingers.

Or is there something hidden?

"If you push the two fingers to a certain point, you might be able to summon the strongest shadow beast: the killer who controls the destined death, feared even by demigods, Queen Marica's sworn brother, the Black Sword Malicas."

"Although there has been no news of him for a long time, he must still be secretly active, ready to serve as a powerful pawn to help his master eliminate any powerful challenger at any time."

Lani's tone was filled with fear and worry.

He had made an enemy, after all, the wisp of death rune in the hand of the black knife assassin who killed Godwin came from the black sword.

Later I heard that Malicus was very remorseful and felt that the theft of the Death Rune was a serious dereliction of duty. He was depressed and kept talking about it all day long... He was just talking about one of the culprits. Both sides definitely had sufficient reasons to fight.

After sorting out the network of relationships, Fulilian nodded and clenched the staff in her hand.

"The strongest killer and the strongest demigod, who is more powerful?"

"You are interested in?"

"Chi Qi has long been an enemy, and I will not allow a weapon as lethal as Prediction of Death to remain in the hands of outsiders."

More precisely, her collecting addiction kicked in, and she felt uncomfortable not having any. After learning that the Predestined Death clearly belonged to an enemy, she was eager to get her hands on it, even if she had no use for it.

Lani, who understood the concept of allies, sighed tiredly. What a coincidence, the cooperation between the two was very similar to that of the goddess Marika and the black sword Malicus.

While Blaze is loyal enough, unfortunately he's not as strong as the Fader.

"The Black Sword is nowhere to be found in the legendary Sky City. I want to avoid a fight with it, so I need to quickly assassinate Two Fingers. I already have a plan, but I'm missing a major premise."

"The fate of the stars changes again?"

"That's right, but you should take care of Lienia first. You can always call Iggy or Blaze to cooperate with you. I've maintained the projection long enough, it's time to go back and rest."

"See you later."

Before Fulilian finished speaking, Lani nodded, her figure dimmed and even disappeared, and she had returned to her original form.

"She avoided the topic of Latarn and seemed to be still accepting her brother's mortality."

Melina said it all.

"Anyone would be troubled by this situation."

"It doesn't matter much. Regardless, Lani's strength, strategy, and personality are more than enough to help you. She can become the god chosen by the king. A slight adjustment to the laws of the stars should bring a better situation to the borderland."

"It's too early to say those things."

"I thought people outside the borderland weren't used to this system of gods and kings."

"They are just political allies. I don't see much genuine affection in other predecessors."

What's more, in order to become the King of Wandering Souls in the Dark Souls world, Freellian went through a process that was actually an evil ceremony under the banner of a wedding, and it still feels weird and uncomfortable.

Melina thought to herself that the two of them were indeed a perfect match, one as cold as the other, but how far could their relationship go?

Hopefully, they'll be able to trust each other more once they begin their exploration of the Eternal City.

emotion?

Fulilian had never considered such things. It was nothing more than going through the difficulties together. A friendship of life and death was more real than those twists and turns.

As for everyone's inexplicable belief that the Soul Fire King and the Moon Princess are going to unite, that is indeed the case, but they are not considering such grand propositions as how to deal with the magic ring and the law in the future. It is still a long way off.

The two parties involved are not the type to focus on feelings.

The silver-haired girl looked around.

"Alright, please hand over all the administrative matters concerning the Magic Academy to me. We need to complete the connection work as soon as possible."

"As you command, I'll move it to the library for you right away."

After saying that, Edgar and the others began to rush around. It was not easy to collect the relevant documents for His Majesty to review. Fortunately, with the cooperation of the wizards and nobles, the process went smoothly.

As for the Great Library, it of course refers to a newly opened room, which contains a large number of magic books that Fulilian has taken a fancy to. It seems that she will spend some time in it.

"It's really unlike you to take the initiative to deal with these tedious matters."

Melina laments, "What changed you?"

"I blame Market for mobilizing so many troops. He made me realize that no matter what, I can't treat this as a solo adventure. The enemy's threat affects everyone, and we should spend some energy recuperating in the controlled area."

"Are you stressed?"

"Not really. What really stresses me out is the upcoming research."

As they walked, they headed towards the Full Moon Queen's room, which was filled with the special scent of the Great Rune.

The amazing thing about it is that it is not deeply integrated with the holder. It can be taken away even without killing the other party. It is even possible to study the amber alone. In the future, the robber will have one less reason to kill Lena.

I wonder if this can be considered as Radagan’s good intention?

The human heart is unpredictable. Who knows what this complex second-generation King of Elden is planning? Anyway, I accept the Great Rune.

When I arrived at the room in the tower, I saw the Full Moon Queen sleeping with Amber in her arms, surrounded by apprentices guarding her. Compared to last time, there was less hostility and even a sense of affinity.

They knew that Fulilian was a good magician who could help them.

"You're quite popular."

"Everyone just gets what they need, and healing them will also help me understand the secrets of life."

In her eyes, all cases, whether failure or success, are precious materials that must be thoroughly studied to understand why they failed or succeeded, otherwise it is easy to fall into a pit and cause disaster.

Melina watched the silver-haired girl squatting in front of the amber to examine it carefully, and even took out her staff to guide the magic power, so she stopped disturbing her.

What would it feel like to have a body again?

Although I repeatedly remind myself not to hold high hopes so as not to be disappointed, I can't help but be surprised by the serious performance of the faders and feel that there is a probability.

In fact, if you go to the foot of the golden tree, you can still have a body.

Unfortunately, the difficulties and obstacles faced by the Royal City Army didn't allow them to have a chance, and who knew when they would be able to do so. Besides, Melina felt that possessing a body would allow her to release more power, and that it would be best if she could help Fulilian.

For example, prayer.

She still has confidence in healing prayers. At least it can reduce the number of cares for the Faded Ones in large-scale legion battles, and her own prayers are enough to stand on their own.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the technical research on creating the body goes smoothly.

Little did she know that at this moment, Fulilian encountered an obstacle.

"That's strange. Why can't I trigger the secret technique? There must be some kind of medium, right?"

Yet, every time he summoned his magic, it fell on deaf ears. Could it be that these apprentices' bodies had simply materialized from thin air? Impossible? When in doubt, he asked other players; as characters with fixed positions, they would likely have plenty of advice.

"Mother-in-law, for Lani's sake, I won't take this fragment. We are all family after all."

[Perhaps Radagan was coerced, otherwise why would he leave his wife and run away? There must be someone behind this.]

【I advocate the scumbag hypothesis】

I advocate the Minotaur theory.

Wait, why can't I be reborn?

[You're not qualified. You need to use a Teardrop Larva. As long as you've killed a lot of monsters along the way, it must have dropped. You can use it now. According to the principle, the Queen should use it to create new characters.]

[Why can't I sculpt it myself? I want to change the appearance of this ancient god.]

[Can't you give Melina a new life? You don't have enough freedom.]

Does the Fire Girl Burning Tree need a physical body? Or is a soul also fine? I just want to see the full version of Melina's strength, absolutely demigod-level.

I don’t know. I’ll burn it myself.

If we can preserve souls like some of the techniques in Dark Souls, and use a heaven-defying item like the Teardrop Larva, wouldn't we be able to revive them?

Correct!

These ideas inspired Fulilian's research, which focused on understanding the concept of reshaping the body. It just so happened that she actually had three of these materials. When they'd been dropped by monsters, she hadn't known what they were for, but now they were finally revealed.

She took out a teardrop larva, which was half solid and half liquid, and wrapped it around her palm, giving it a soft appearance.

"Melina, you try to inject the soul energy into it, and I will guide you."

Upon hearing this, the witch agreed readily and immediately felt a ray of energy being drawn to the teardrop larva, and even resonated with the Great Rune. No, are you serious?

Will it work?

I originally thought I could ignore it, but when Fulilian took my hand and touched the prop, my heart was moved. I didn't feel that this thing was anything special, but I felt that her hand was so small, soft and boneless, as cool as jade...

The next moment, the huge magical power was further guided.

The silver-haired girl was so focused that she didn't have time to think about it. She used her magic power to connect the power of tears and the power of the Great Rune in one breath.

She frowned slightly. Why hadn't she yet been able to respond to the changes in Melina's soul? Could it be because of the difference in status?

why?

"If I'm not mistaken, Melina, you're from a very important background."

Suddenly, the Full Moon Queen opened her eyes and murmured, "This child is very special. Ordinary methods are unlikely to work. You need more Great Runes, more tears, and a more complete life secret technique."

After saying this, she fell asleep again, and at the same time, the resonance that had finally arisen was interrupted.

The abruptly stopped magic power created a shock wave, penetrating the ceiling and releasing light, rippling above the spire of the magic academy, accompanied by a rumbling sound.

People are used to it. His Majesty is probably researching something new. Could it be the secret art of life? You're a genius if you can even perform such gentle magic.

Smoke and dust filled the Queen's rooms.

In a cloud of mist, Fulilian stood up while fanning herself, her hair frizzling and a look of regret on her face.

"Unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment. It's feasible in principle, and there are mechanisms for it. The gap lies in the numerical value, and Stargazer is too weak."

"It's okay, don't stress too much."

"I've been meaning to ask you, Melina, how much do you know about your own life? Putting aside the possibility of a conspiracy, creating a body always involves this question."

120

Chapter 120 New Module.

"I don't know, because most of my memories are sealed, and my powers too."

Melina couldn't help but cover her tattooed left eye.

"...I can sense its immense power, but I don't know how to use it. No, even if I regain my memory, it's probably just a command mission. I don't know the whole story."

"For example, if I have a task that requires great sacrifice, I just need to do it. I don't need to know the deeper reasons for the sacrifice."

Upon hearing this, Fulilian's face turned grim, and a hint of anger flashed in her eyes.

She wasn't targeting the witch, but the power behind it. She hated this conspiracy-filled atmosphere, and it was directed at the people around her.

"That's it."

"I can't produce more tears and more Great Runes in a short period of time, but I will study the secret art of life carefully. This takes time. I gained a lot today. At least I have figured out the direction and it is feasible."

There are too many difficulties in practicing magic, and being able to verify the feasibility is half the success.

The only flaw today was that he confirmed that his proxy witch had some kind of calculation.

She trusted Melina very much. After being together for so long, she couldn't help but tell the difference between her true feelings and false ones. She was just worried that she might suddenly become a different person. That would be difficult to deal with. She always felt that there was a hidden danger...
