Frillian in the Elden Ring

The border area was too vast, and ruling the equivalent of two large nations was too hectic, but thanks to Melina's help, they were able to cope.

As preparation for future explorations in Gaileed, I'll have a good rest.

When you push open the door, you will see lush greenery. Outside the fence of the cottage is a dirt road that connects the houses in the elf village. From time to time, people hunting, cooking, and herding sheep pass by.

"Good afternoon, Fulilian, you slept for a long time."

"You're welcome and safe."

The elves greeted each other one after another. In the familiar society where everyone knows each other, the village can be regarded as a big family. They know each other well, not to mention the celebrities in the village.

She did not rush to leave the courtyard but instead tended to the flowers and plants there, just to cultivate her body and mind.

A considerable number of these flowers are catalyzed by plant magic. They are perfect for use as decorations. They are evergreen and always brilliant, and will not wither even if they are not taken care of for a long time.

Although the pruning work was tedious, Fulilian did it very carefully. Cleaning the yard should be done as carefully as cleaning the laboratory.

During this time, the elves who came and went to greet her also asked her some questions about magic. She answered them one by one. Finally, everyone in the village began to pay attention to magic. There was also a lot of warriors who were training. In times of war, it is always safe to have martial arts skills.

Everything is normal during large-scale magic perception.

According to the neighbors, "the defeat in the Battle of North Wind Fortress has allowed the demons to deepen their presence in the occupied areas and prepare for the next general offensive." It is rare to find peace and quiet now.

It is gratifying that the Elf Village has finally begun to interact with the outside world.

Although most of the time I just do some hunting and trading, I am not completely oblivious to what is happening outside.

Of course, some people worry about being coveted.

Whatever.

The so-called communication is a two-way process. When a race exists in the world, it has corresponding social relations and cannot be completely self-enclosed. In fact, Fulilian is very open-minded about this.

What's more, the Elf Village already has the ability to protect itself, such as the guests in front of them:

The red-haired girl who came jogging all the way waved her hand and shouted "Master" from a distance, full of energy. Her figure with golden curves was a few points taller, and even the chief wizard could not hide her beauty.

She was becoming more and more like a grown-up girl, while Millie Adele, on the other hand, was walking and drinking, looking as uninterested as ever.

The two stood together, recounting the changes and constancy of time. The fleeting passage of time surprisingly touched Fulilian. As expected, witnessing the rapid growth of a short-lived species made one feel the passage of time more clearly.

You feel old when you feel it.

This is a short-lived species. In the eyes of ordinary elves, it means "How come you suddenly develop abnormally!"

"You are finally back. Do you feel the magic in me?"

Volame held his head high and said with a smile: "I have become much stronger."

"Yes, you can now officially learn magic."

"Doesn't the soul magic and life secrets I've been studying count?"

Fulilian shook her head. "They belong to an immature system that's still under research. Next, I'll teach you combat skills, all survival techniques designed for fighting. They're different from those academic mages, or even the half-baked mages active on the battlefield today."

Hearing this, the red-haired girl became even more excited. After all, she had witnessed the pinnacle of this path with her own eyes, and the battle that ruined Fulilian's fame.

The fusion of various magics and even combat skills is incisive and perfect, making him a true combat specialist. He single-handedly defeated the demon army, and his upper limit is simply terrifyingly high...

"I almost forgot, Master probably hasn't had lunch yet. I just happened to bring some ingredients."

She patted the woven basket at the crook of her arm. It contained vegetables, mushrooms, and meat, all pre-processed. No wonder she hadn't rushed over immediately upon sensing her awakening, preparing a sumptuous meal.

So attentive.

"I also brought you a bottle of good wine."

"Millie Adele, you always carry good wine."

As the host, Fulilian invited the two into the cabin and worked together to prepare for lunch, cooperating with each other in perfect harmony.

Although there wasn't much interaction, everyone had already shared meals together several times, so the routine was familiar. Washing, chopping, and cooking were performed with a fluidity that was not without traces of magical involvement. Many ingredients simply floated in the air, waiting to be arranged when they landed.

Integrating magic into life in a true sense is both an exercise and an attitude.

After a lot of work.

The table was filled with a dazzling array of dishes, steaming hot and fragrant. Some of the flavors, some spicy, some sweet, entered my nose, making my tongue tingle and I couldn't help but savor them.

With Fulilian, who was sitting in the main seat, reminding everyone to start eating, everyone carefully enjoyed the delicious meal together.

Compared to the beginning, everyone's cooking skills have improved. When they were taking care of the child Volame, they were always complained about the bad food, so they had to practice intentionally.

"What did Master gain from this sleep?"

"There are magic resistance spells, freezing spells, and so on... but you can't bite off more than you can chew. You should prepare for combat magic courses first."

"No, I mean, since you dreamed of gaining magic, there must be something in the dream, right?"

The red-haired girl asked curiously, "Like some interesting stories, even if they have no beginning or end."

Even Millie Adele pricked up her ears.

"Okay, speaking of dreams, there was once an ancient god who cursed people to be trapped in a city called Yharnam after death, where they would suffer a constant nightmare, forever repeating the last thing they experienced in life..."

Chapter 130: Eliminating Scarlet Corruption.

The atmosphere at the dinner table became increasingly subtle, even a little heavy, all thanks to Fulilian's story.

She seems to be telling a story seriously, but she has a sense of playfulness, because these things are not side dishes at all, they are full of weird low-pressure elements:

It is full of plots such as blood healing, beast transformation, communication with ancient gods, and madness.

The whole story focuses on a hidden city called Yharnam, where a confused hunter is trapped. He keeps hunting monsters while gradually coming into contact with the truth and learning the horrific story behind the city.

It's terrifying enough.

The little girl, Volame, looked both frightened and deeply immersed in the meal, completely forgetting to eat.

As for Millie Adele, she drank more wine and looked at her friend with a wry smile. The child clearly asked you to share a strange story, but it turned into a childhood cult classic.

That's good. Every time Fulilian came back from sleep, she gave people a tired atmosphere. It's good news that she can make jokes now.

Even with the elves' vast knowledge and experience, one must admit that Yharnam's story is captivating, piecing together a chronicle of the Old Gods' corruption. This city has no redemption, and everything stands in opposition to truth, goodness, and beauty.

Where did you hear this?

She didn't know that her childhood sweetheart was so creative. She must have heard it from someone else. She was warning the child not to pursue forbidden knowledge easily.

"Well, just consider your story educational."

"...In short, during the night of the hunt, people grew increasingly frantic, and even seasoned hunters felt the pressure. The city wailed, gradually sinking deeper into darkness, and the period came to a temporary halt."

Fulilian's sudden halt in her story made Volame even more curious.

Being a gifted girl, she thought more and felt that this story was somehow connected to her teacher's magic theory.

It has symbolic meaning, especially in the field of divination, but at this stage just treat it as a story.

"You're really good at teaching children."

Millie Adele couldn't help but roll her eyes and complain.

"It doesn't matter. Volame isn't a child anymore. Just treat her like a big kid. She's almost an adult."

The silver-haired girl disagreed. "By the way, I'd also like to remind you not to get involved in dangerous magic."

"You're obviously the most dangerous one. I don't know how many weird things you've put into your body. I guess even the demons would avoid you."

"Good eyesight."

"What the hell are you talking about eyesight? How long do you think we've been together? And this isn't eyesight, Fulilian. I've gotten stronger. I can already see your magic flickering..."

The next moment, the silver-haired girl's energy reaction expanded slightly and then stabilized.

Due to the additional reinforcement feedback from the Stargazer account, the main body's power has increased, and the minimum standard for the magic power that can be concentrated has also been raised. Unavoidable fluctuations will occur, and further release is necessary. This is a form of cultivation, and there is no need to constantly display magic power.

Millie Adele, who had been so proud just now, sighed. Even though she had become stronger, she couldn't see the opponent's full strength.

Originally, the two were considered of the same generation, with only a few decades of age difference, but Fulilian showed her magical talent early on and made rapid progress. But now she had someone to lean on, so it was a win-win situation no matter what.

"Master, when can I start training like this?"

"Concentrate your magic power? How much do you have worth concentrating? First, build a solid foundation and become a great magician before considering concealment."

"Then again, didn't Master say before that we should demonstrate an upright and honest spirit?"

"The best way to treat the demons is to suppress them with powerful force and then kill them all. Use everything in combat. Enemies without honor do not deserve our kindness."

"understood."

Volame nodded seriously.

As expected of a master, his summary is spot on. The demons should be dealt with with drastic measures. They are merely a group of monsters in human form, devoid of civilization and inherently savage. All available means of combat must be employed.

Then, Fulilian began to clear the table. While washing the dishes, she asked about the battle situation between the two.

In order to make up for the consequences of the defeat at North Wind Fortress, the demons sent sages to the front line of the battlefield, and there were even signs of the activities of the Seven Collapse Sages.

Their dominance on the battlefield was immense. For example, the sage controlling the undead used the undead to ward off the human counterattack, a formidable opponent. Therefore, the collapse of the front that some had hoped for did not occur. After all, the strength of a powerful race should not be underestimated.

However, there is also a team of brave men on the human side heading towards the front line.

The greatest significance of the last battle of Fulilian was that it created a vacuum zone. The buffer zone extending from the Elf Forest allowed both sides to deploy a large number of troops.

In other words, it can launch larger-scale campaigns.

It is not known exactly when it will begin, but it is normal for some large-scale campaigns to take a year or two to plan.

Considering that one of the parties was an immortal species with no sense of time, the situation might drag on even longer. Therefore, even if a storm was about to strike, the true collapse of the heavens and earth would still be some time away, giving the people in the buffer zone enough time to breathe.

Volame said: "Many people have visited the city. Some magicians said they came here because they admired my master and wanted to introduce me to them."

"How do you answer?"

"The minimum requirement to see the master should be stronger than me, so I proposed a competition and defeated them all."

The red-haired girl said proudly, rolling up her sleeves.

"You did the right thing. You protected my peace and demonstrated the dominance of the strong."

Even Fulilian couldn't help but brighten her eyes. It was truly incredible! It seemed she had underestimated her apprentice's talent. She was only a little over ten years old, and yet she was already so formidable. Surely a superior magician wouldn't bully the weak, so she would be unrivaled among her peers for ten years.

Volame immediately began to talk about the battle...

It is indeed very valuable, and according to her, she even took the initiative to challenge some stronger magicians, but unfortunately she was rejected.

They probably felt that fighting such a young apprentice would be embarrassing no matter how they fought. Win? People would laugh at you for picking on a child. Lose? Even more humiliating. The most difficult thing was controlling your strength. If you inflicted serious damage, wouldn't you be punished?

In any case, Volame is already the strongest in his age group, and his reputation as a genius is known far and wide.

Fulilian looked troubled.

The low-level combat magic she had originally envisioned was overturned because it was useless. Her current disciples were already very powerful. So, what about choosing a higher-level magic?

No, that won’t work. My physical foundation is too weak.

Although he has reached the level where he can fight monsters in close combat, it is not enough to use those powerful magics, so he first excludes the pyroxene system.

It needed to conform to the basic rules of real-world magic, maintain strength, and take into account most other auxiliary magics... The conditions alone were demanding enough. How should I choose? Or perhaps try a different approach?

Is there a possibility that Volame has actually already demonstrated his unique magical talent?

This child's adaptability to soul magic is beyond imagination!

"In that case, Volame will just need to continue cultivating soul magic. That will also require a strong body. I will bless you and strengthen it later."

Fulilian, who holds the power of the Great Rune, is familiar with this.

The red-haired girl nodded.

Millie Adele rubbed her hands and asked, "Dear Teacher Fulilian, do you think I can be strengthened?"

"That won't work. The target must be as skilled in soul magic as I am and be able to absorb power. Besides, she has talent but lacks time. She is still growing and has unlimited potential. You are almost there."

The elf girl was so angry that she immediately raised her head and gulped down the wine.

"By the way, Master, my life secret technique can now cooperate with soul transformation."

The research results from Volame made Fulilian excited, because it meant that the strength of the soul could change the body, and as long as there was an interaction between the two, it would be fine. This was very suitable for the situation Melina was facing. Sure enough, the direction of attack was correct.

Similarly, if you actively mimic the soul, you may be able to achieve another level of transformation. The knowledge is universal.

She immediately thought of some Dragon Eaters who transformed into dragons, and it was rumored that a very small number of ancient dragons could also become humans, or even give up their dragon identity and turn into dragon-man form.
