Frillian in the Elden Ring

"Please give my colleague Edgar more chances. As long as you show enough magnanimity, he is not blindly loyal."

Fulilian nodded solemnly and then led the team out of the manor.

Chapter 38 Teacher Se Lian

A fully armed team left the control area of Hyde Fortress and headed towards the southernmost Weeping Peninsula. The aura emitted by the team made the monsters retreat from afar.

I thought it would slow down the process, but thanks to the lack of obstructions it was smooth.

A mighty march.

Fulilian glanced at the soldiers behind her. The leading captain nodded respectfully at her. They were indeed well-trained. Despite their inferior equipment, their discipline was no less than that of the Greck soldiers.

One of the benefits of the Return to Tree system is that military power has a long shelf life, while normal people tend to decline more easily.

As a result, they are the only ones who persisted longer, giving the outside faders an impression of being "full of martial virtues."

After all, the military equipment retained in the border areas is still considerable.

What's more, most of the power lies in the demigods. Although some nobles say that "they are not complete", Fulilian will not underestimate them. The Fire King she defeated was also known to be incomplete. In a real fight, each one was stronger than the other.

The strong cannot be shaken.

Moreover, the demigod holds the power of the Great Rune, which is incomparable once activated, and Greg possesses the most important fragment of the Elden Ring.

So she needs to prepare as much as possible.

In fact, the power that he now holds in his hands cannot be underestimated.

Once a wandering solitary warrior, they now formed a massive, imposing group. Among them were heroes like the Black Blade Assassin and even the Cinder King Farran's Undead Squad. Normally, they numbered over a dozen, their combined might sweeping across the land.

I wonder how many troops I'll be able to mobilize when I raise the banner of resistance against the Golden Tree and attack Stonewell City...

"and many more!"

The silver-haired girl gestured for everyone to stop and immediately became alert.

The open magical perception reminded Fulilian that there was a strong aura not far ahead. The map showed that it was the ruins of an inn. It had been abandoned for a long time, but there was still movement?

The transportation system at the junction is almost scrapped except for the main roads.

Therefore, the unfamiliar aura basically represents the enemy, and the enemy often has dropped items. The Faded Ones who are always committed to collecting them will certainly not let them go. This can also be regarded as a way to become stronger.

My automatic pickup responded, there must be treasures around.

"It happens to be an inn. Let's rest here. You guys stay here on guard while I look for a secret passage or basement."

"As ordered."

Everyone already knows what kind of person the boss is. Since she likes it, let her give it a try. It's better than some people who have a hobby of grafting limbs at will.

Fulilian walked around the ruins of the post station.

If we find traces of a basement as expected, we must pay 120% attention.

After the battle of Hyde Fortress, she realized that these buildings could easily become restrictions, fighting in narrow spaces was troublesome, and large-scale destruction was worried about breaking bottles and jars, so she took a defensive stance.

Bloodstains appeared in the player's field of vision, but most of them were replays of survival victories, so there were enemies ahead but they were not strong enough. Then a few steps later, a tall one appeared...

Pumpkinhead soldier?

At the same time, a blood bar appeared below the field of vision. It was seen roaring with its head raised. Its head was clearly wrapped in a pumpkin-shaped piece of metal, which was quite heavy. It was estimated that its defense was quite high.

"As a mage, I don't fight head-on. Let's get this done quickly."

Because she sensed that there was a door behind the monster that contained magical energy, Fulilian planned to end the battle quickly.

The stone demon gravel was swung like a meteor, densely interwoven into a barrage of bullets.

Even though it was just the most primitive spell belonging to the Stargazer, it would be twice as effective in the hands of someone with superb skills, not to mention that she was good at improving magic.

In reality, magicians are full of idealistic magic such as exclusive magic, or rigid types that simply realize a function, such as "making plants grow quickly" and "making fabrics emit fragrance". At first glance, these concepts are actually impossible to develop.

Instead, it restricts imagination.

The wide variety of magic in the game broadened Freelian's horizons and allowed her to learn magic transformation. For example, the pyroxene magic gravel is no longer a thing.

The blue crystal block combines high speed, penetrating power, explosion and other elements into one and flies over.

Boom!

How could a mere mortal like Pumpkinhead have anticipated such a sudden burst of magical power from a wizard? He immediately raised his weapon to block, but the crystal block had already pierced his body, leaving blood dripping.

He rushed forward in a mad dash, trying to close the distance.

However, the next moment, the pyroxene penetrated the pumpkin's metal helmet and even exploded from the inside out, with only a muffled bang.

The shockwave reverberated within the metal helmet, and blood oozed from the cracks around the edges.

Fulilian deliberately used a crystal block to drill in and then detonated it. It turned out that the helmet could not protect him. Even if he didn't die, he would be drowned in the blood.

The huge body collapsed with a loud bang.

Enemies of this level did not pose any challenge at all. She did not move from beginning to end. She did not need to pick up anything even though there was an automatic pickup, and she just stepped over the corpses indifferently.

There is nothing worth noting. This person should be a guard. The focus is on the following.

Crunch~

Pushing open the door, he was greeted by a pyroxene crystal mine, its shimmering light illuminating the narrow basement. A few simple tables and chairs, covered with files and books, stood in the center, a woman in a blue mage robe and a sculpted mask.

"My name is Se Lian. I just felt your pyroxene magic. It's quite a skill... but with your strength, I don't think you can use it, right?"

"The more methods the better, and I personally like different kinds of magic."

"That's great. By the way, thank you for helping me defeat the guard. It's rare to have a guest like you. What can I do for you?"

"My name is Flillian, and I'm a traveling fader..."

From the moment she entered the door, Fulilian switched the player's vision check prompts, most of which mentioned the keywords of the magic teacher. Obviously, he was an important NPC like Bernal who led side quests and imparted resources.

It’s perfect. She had never received any systematic training until she came to the border area. Now she finally has the opportunity to see it for herself. Why not?

Furthermore, the advice reminds us:

Only Master Se Lian told us: Even if you are not a good disciple, you can come back. If you can't be the King of Elden, then don't be one. You are the most gentle person in the borderland.

[The future is a time for encounter, but one day it will turn into sadness]

How many people are truly devoted to the Fading Ones? Teacher Se Lian is definitely one of them.

[The witch is not a good person, but she is my good teacher]

[It's just a difference in stance. If I had to choose again, I would still side with Seren, and I would avoid the ending with that magician ball.]

...It seems to involve a tragedy, a classic example. But it doesn't matter. With all the mods and a high degree of freedom, Freellian has plenty of experience in resolving tragedies, so playing a perfect plot is essential.

let's start.

Like countless other faded ones, she uttered the destined words: "Teacher Seren, I want to learn magic from you."

……

I still recommend the hot new book of my old friend, Feng Lao's fantasy masterpiece

Miss Witch's Speed Run Manual

Chapter 39: Conception of Soul Magic

what?

Let me teach you, is this true or false?

Even if he couldn't see through everything, with Se Lian's eyesight, he knew that Fulilian's strength was unfathomable, and the impression that her magic power gave people was vast.

Of all the powerful beings she had met, only the Full Moon Queen could compare. She couldn't tell which was stronger or weaker, as they were both at a supreme level that she couldn't fathom.

However, it is quite prestigious for such a wizard to be willing to learn from him, so I am happy to accept. From another perspective, the reward for defeating the guard is to teach magic, which is natural. Before that, I have to ask:

"So what kind of magic are you pursuing?"

"All of them. The more the better. I accept all kinds of magic." Fulilian replied immediately.

"There's always a direction, right?"

"Soul magic is the subject I'm currently researching. In my hometown, besides a large amount of universal magic, there are also many conceptual small magics and personal exclusive magics, which often possess great power. I want to develop magic related to the soul, and to do so, I need to absorb different knowledge."

In reality, exclusive magic is rare, or there are few people who are good at and proficient in it, but Fulilian believes that soul magic can be developed.

To achieve an unsolvable high-level magic similar to that of the Demon Sage.

It just so happens that the underlying logic of magic in the previous game world is inseparable from the [Soul] element, so I decided to continue studying it.

Make it your own magic.

When she fought against the Fran Undead Corps again, she tried to use soul infusion magic to strengthen herself, and the effect was remarkable, so the research was feasible and she could make better use of the primordial fire in her body.

The knowledge system of the border area can definitely provide additional information.

"...I already have some ideas, such as this move to track the soul crystal block and completely knock its soul out of the body." The silver-haired girl's hand showed a crystal. "Does this mean that I must return to the tree?"

"A repatriation mechanism? Can the souls you struck return to the tree and be reborn under the aftermath of the magic?"

"Maybe."

"Wouldn't that solve many zombie-like problems?" Speaking of academics, Seren's voice rose high. "This would be a groundbreaking academic achievement. If successful, it would change the world."

"Yes, I've also thought of a method: to heal the soul and reflect it in the body, so that those suffering from the pain of zombies can return to normal bodies."

"But magic comes from understanding, and the soul is related to emotion. Your emotions... are not intense."

"Anyway, I really need the magic system of the borderland."

"Unfortunately, my area of expertise is the pyroxene system. I can use its power to achieve great strength. You can try its effect on the soul, so I will teach you."

The opportunity to overturn everything lay before Seren. What magician could resist? Even the disputes between factions pale in comparison. If soul magic were to become powerful enough to save countless lives, millions would be revived.

Healing the soul with magic?

Normally, it could only heal the body, right? It was completely contrary to Tian Gang, but I felt it was feasible in principle.

After collecting her thoughts, she took out different spell scrolls and explained them like a sales pitch: "This is a pyroxene meteor, a pyroxene arc..."

"I want them all. Please teach me everything."

Fulilian's eyes lit up. Once she knew the basic principles, she was able to restore the corresponding magic one by one, reproduce it perfectly, and might even deduce other forms.

During her arduous journey, she had witnessed too much magic that spanned systems and even worlds. She was very good at summarizing and generalizing, and could quickly put it into use. This level was actually no problem and very easy.

There was a look of shock on the carved mask that Seren was wearing.

genius!

Was there ever a genius in the academy's history who could learn anything at first sight? She actually found him, and he was still a student.

Hailing from beyond the borders, the Faded One, Fulilian, carrying a different kind of knowledge, is destined to trigger a massive transformation. Even souls are altered before her. Who is untouchable? It's possible. Such power must exist.

Just imagine, if universal magic such as soul healing and soul repatriation is developed, wouldn’t it complement the Return to Tree system?

It is not as grand as the new laws in the repair ring version, but it is a rare repair on the existing defects. At least it will save many people and is more practical than repairing the ring.

The two began to exchange experiences happily and forgot about time.

During this time, Aurora went down to the basement to ask, and Fulilian replied that she would try to be quick, wait a little longer, and then continue the conversation...

Black knife assassin!

His iconic attire is unmistakable throughout the border area. What kind of person would he be to earn his allegiance? It seems my disciple isn't destined for greatness in the future, but has already achieved it.

They continued to communicate and talked about the development direction of pyroxene magic.

"The masters of this school believe that one should transform the body into pyroxene, similar to the form of a magician's ball. Is your theory feasible, Fulilian?"

"No, this isn't the way to dig into magic. How can I delve into it if I can't maintain my normal form?"

"All life originates from the crucible of life, and may not be able to adapt to the characteristics of pyroxene, so it must be transformed."

"Then adapt it to us."

Se Lian shook his head, not delving too deeply into the topic. Disagreements were inevitable in a research field, and it was clear that the teacher and student had different perspectives on the future direction of the Origin School. Regardless of right or wrong, neither was someone who would be swayed by a few words.

When Fulilian heard the keyword of Magician's Ball, her heart sank. According to the comments of players, it was probably not a good thing. It was an ending that needed to be avoided, so she had to pay attention to it.
