Frillian in the Elden Ring

"And me?"

"What do you mean?"

"I usually assist the master with his deductions, right? Even if I'm entertaining you, you should still call me. Only we can work together in perfect harmony."

"Okay, okay, I won't do this again."

Fulilian smiled faintly. "It's just that today is special. It's your true debut victory celebration, right? Don't forget your starting point. Today's encouragement will turn into strength in the future."

"It's too exaggerated. Some even say I'm a hero."

Volame spread his hands.

"Even the legendary holy sword hasn't been found yet. Even if it existed, there's no guarantee there's a hero who can pull it out and save the world."

"To them, you are already a hero. It's just a title. What matters is the fundamental principles a person practices. Especially don't give up, no matter what the circumstances."

The silver-haired girl said meaningfully.

"Master has given me a very emotional vibe lately."

"Well, this is also my first time traveling far away and encountering a major event. I think it's quite amazing. So this is a realistic adventure. It turns out there's no difference."

Flillian let out a long sigh.

The world he lives in is better than Dark Souls, but he cannot be careless and must stop the demons.

She would pour her heart and soul into either side, regardless of any sense of belonging, and would not sit idly by when she saw it. She thought that after being an elf for so long, she should finally find a career to pursue.

"The master is more motivated now, and I feel like I'm on fire!"

Volame clenched his fists and looked at the mural, with stars in his eyes.

"I don't have any."

She smiled, patted the red-haired girl's head, and said, "It's time to rest. We have to leave for the royal city tomorrow."

"..."

"Okay, then you can rest your head on my legs and I'll coax you to sleep."

Fulilian understood immediately, patting her kneeling thigh. The red-haired girl smiled and lay down, her breathing gradually becoming steady. Clearly exhausted from the frequent socializing, she fell asleep immediately, as the young woman was in good health.

The silver-haired girl continued to take notes quietly, while the water mirror demon beside her looked around foolishly.

The night is dark and the bustling day ends.

195

Chapter 195 The team returns home with success.

Early morning, excavation camp of the Tomb of the Scattered King.

As the morning light of the horizon shone on Fulilian's face, the pen put down the last period, completing the record. By the way, he had deduced most of it. A brief exchange with Volame on the way was enough to improve the teaching method.

The difficult thing for her was never to understand it herself, but how to make people other than her disciples understand it.

No matter how her thoughts leaped into her teaching, a genius like Volame could understand it, but other mediocre people might not.

Ring ring ring!

The bell to remind people to go to work rang a little later, and the place gradually became lively.

The workers gradually rose, washed, and ate a quick breakfast before setting to work, sweating profusely, clearing the rubble. After yesterday's celebration, everyone felt more at ease, no longer worrying about safety issues, and simply went to work.

Adventurers and mercenaries carefully scout and patrol to prevent any monsters from slipping through the net.

The most meticulous work is done by professional archaeologists, who are meticulously classifying and recording all sorts of bizarre artifacts, their enthusiasm comparable to that of Florian searching for a magic book.

"Master, is it morning?"

Volame, resting his head on his thighs, rubbed his eyes.

"Yes, it's time to go. Look, Mr. Wayne has already packed his equipment."

At this moment, Commander Qian removed his armor, disassembled it, cleaned and maintained it, and changed into aristocratic ceremonial attire. Regardless of whether the royal city was shabby or not, appropriate etiquette was always required, especially with a well-known noble. The subsequent negotiations would be very important.

He knew that Fulilian had controlled the remaining high-ranking officials of the Labyrinth Kingdom, but he was too lazy to do anything specific, as he still had to figure it out himself.

Upon hearing this, Volame also began to pack up.

Seeing the trio preparing to leave, Fenton hurried to see them off and gave them a huge reward.

"I won't go into details, but I'm very grateful for your help."

He sighed sincerely, "Otherwise, this treasured land would suffer heavy losses, and the reconstruction of the kingdom would be hindered... We will remember this kindness and hope to have more cooperation with the association in the future."

"Of course, I plan to establish a branch in the Labyrinth Kingdom."

"President Fulilian likes challenges. Although you have probably opened up the upper-level routes, there are still many middle and lower-level repulsion magics that have been misrepresented. It must be difficult to manage them."

"The test is there. We choose to do it because of the difficulties. The association welcomes challenges because only organizations that constantly solve problems can develop."

"it is good."

Fenton's eyes lit up and he laughed out loud: "I will definitely support you with all my strength."

"Even if you don't understand yet?"

"I know you, President Fulilian and Miss Volame, Commander Wayne, and Lord Leman... With you all around, the Magic Association will surely prosper. We can't afford not to place our bets sooner rather than later."

"You are indeed a gambler who dares to accept the excavation mission. In this case, we will not let you down."

The two shook hands solemnly and nodded to each other.

Then they waved goodbye and left without any reluctance, one returning to the excavation site while the other got on the carriage and galloped at full speed.

Before, their relationship was merely a basic employment one, nothing to worry about; once the bills were settled, they'd just walk away. Now that Fenton had pledged investment on behalf of the family behind him, it was like they were on board, so Fulilian wasn't shy about making the promise.

The countries that are most staunchly opposed to magic will become absolute supporters in the future, and may even be controlled. It is in the interests of the association to show the world a living example.

"President, the Fenton family has some background..."

As a know-it-all aristocrat, Wayne made a timely scientific explanation.

Fulilian listened and thought. In fact, she had just understood the background. The details of interpersonal relationships were not what elves liked to consider.

He admired the fact that he took action without even conducting basic research. Most people might lose everything if they invested in this level of power and fame, but the honorary president's greatest source of capital was power.

She valued the influence of the nobility, while the nobility valued the rapidly increasing value of hard currency:

violence.

The association already controls a considerable number of violent groups, and under the leadership of Celia, it takes a high-end route. Coupled with the middle and lower-level training route popularized by Fulilian, this investment is a sure win.

Volame, who was sitting next to them, blinked his big eyes and listened to the conversation between the two, just to collect gossip to pass the time on the way.

Half a day later, on the outskirts of the royal city.

A temporary refugee camp was set up on the green grass field, built by the evacuated people themselves.

"You are finally back, President. Praise Lady Fulilian."

The sense of security provided by the magicians of the Age of Gods is unparalleled, especially for those who fear the return of the demons. Seeing the great hero return, people naturally line the streets to welcome him and give him flowers.

She left in such a hurry that there was no time to congratulate them. Now, when people think back on the disaster, they cherish Fulilian even more for fighting for everyone's survival.

"Thank you."

The silver-haired girl stepped out of the carriage and responded to the greeting.

Although the backdrop was the ruins of the Royal City complex, the resilient people had regained their spirits. At least they still had friends and family. These hundreds of thousands of people still had hope, which was more precious than gold. Therefore, the scene was very noisy and full of energy.

The most enthusiastic were the nobles, who were frightened out of their wits by the "list" and naturally tried their best to please.

As usual, Fulilian did not give a direct answer, but only urged them to quickly support the new king and the royal cabinet.

Even if she has never tortured a demon sage, it does not prevent her from seeing through certain people. Simple magical perception can determine who has something to hide, or at least has cooperated with the demons in the past.

Forget it.

Having spent so much time on the two new magics, she didn't bother to think about the rules and regulations. She knew there must be someone who understood the situation better than she did.

Lyman welcomed the three to the temporary hut.

He had dark circles under his eyes and looked tired after only two days' absence. It was obvious that he had been working hard, but his bright eyes and confident smile indicated that things should be going well.

"President Fulilian, as you said, we are discussing the selection of a new king. The Association can intervene. Who do you think should be chosen?"

"When did our association's speeches become so useful?"

"The influential nobles are all dead, and the remaining ones are arguing about how to divide the vacant positions. So I made some arrangements and asked the association to act as an arbitrator. Besides, as the protector of the kingdom, no one would object to you making some guidance, right?"

As he was speaking, he took out some investigation materials, which were the intelligence on the only remaining members of the royal family.

The silver-haired girl flipped through the items casually as if selecting from a menu.

"Let's choose this princess. She's young, has average grades, a gentle and easy-to-control personality, and has a good talent for magic. The others are either involved in opposing magic or have shady dealings."

"I think so too, but I will be rejected by the other princes and the nobles who support me."

"You have evidence of conspiracy, right?"

"of course."

"Let's do as you say. I don't understand much about palace struggles, but I will fully support you."

Fulilian made the final decision.

One month after the demon usurpation incident that shook the central continent.

During this period, the Magic Association and neighboring countries continuously sent support, and with the help of Fulilian's magic, the royal city was repaired as quickly as possible. It was just a training session to release a little bit of magic after the upper limit was released, and by the way, he and Volame studied the magic of the demons together.

The two men simply changed places to do academic work, but the deterrent effect they exerted was sufficient to prevent any conspirators from acting rashly.

Moreover, Lehman had already investigated the forces that were related to the demons, and the "list" that Fulilian had previously talked about became a reality.

But focusing on the big and letting go of the small is the art.

According to Wayne's opinion, the nobles who are beneficial to supporting the new king will be punished or exchanged for benefits. Faced with such a big hat as "colluding with the demons", they always choose to cooperate or even surrender.

In a sense, the two of them were just relying on the power of Fulilian's military achievements. The nobles who had paid huge price in exchange for their benefits were quite dissatisfied and felt that they were just pretending to be powerful.

So what?

The kingdom, which had lost all its elite troops, was not qualified to challenge the association.

Furthermore, from the perspective of ordinary people, the opinions of the Age of Gods magicians who have made great contributions to the protection of the country are of paramount importance.

Therefore, the two people who acted on behalf of Fulilian's will acted smoothly and basically wiped out the stubborn opposition. Of course, there were some unpleasant incidents during the process:

Rebellion.

Some nobles who were unwilling to suffer serious losses in their interests eventually rebelled.

However, their struggle was doomed to failure, and Fulilian was rewarded with another victory, easily capturing them. To her, the strong were difficult to control and had to be killed, while the weak were easy to manipulate. It would be better to save the rebels' lives and hand them over to the new king.

She launched the campaign under the banner of "orders from His Majesty and the Imperial Cabinet," which naturally gave the opportunity to establish her authority to the new management of the Labyrinth Kingdom.

The future queen, who is only 12 years old, is quite smart.

Although it is said that he was confused for a whole day when he found out that he was nominated as the next king, he was able to handle the actual handover work smoothly and did not fall behind.

Ande VI was born after a month-long game between various forces.

The decision has been made.

Compromises were made where necessary, trades were made where necessary, and settlements were made where necessary. In this way, the situation gradually stabilized, and the restoration of the royal city entered the fast lane, with a resilient structure erected on the ruins.

Thanks to Frillian's ridiculously powerful magic, she can easily control levitation, gravity, and construction.

In fact, she doesn't need to make any extra moves. Just working on the construction site every day is scary enough. Her own strength is comparable to the deterrent power of a country's royal guard, or even more so. She is a symbol of miracles walking on the earth.

Thanks to the long time she spent in reality and the intensive use of magic, Fulilian's control was further improved.

I have become a little stronger.

Volame was the one who enjoyed the journey the most in the group.

The various major events and games didn't warrant her involvement so early. Besides her daily research, she had little to do, unlike her three elders who were constantly busy. Children had the privilege of not working, which gave Volame time to go shopping.

It is a blessing to witness a city being rebuilt from the ruins.

As the first long-distance journey, I experienced such shocking news. It was very legendary and definitely no less than the deeds of brave men.

So Volame spent the whole month in excitement.
