Frillian in the Elden Ring

Iggy fell silent. In fact, he knew that if possible, Lani would not even want to borrow the power of the Soul Fire King, blaming herself for being so useless.

too weak.

Lani also understood this truth. Her closed heart gradually became willing to open up. Perhaps it was because the Full Moon Queen was gradually recovering, and the meeting with General Shatterstar made her feel more at ease. The comfort of her family and the support of her allies dispelled her loneliness.

She claimed that it was the result of practicing soul magic, but the reason was far more than that.

"As you command, I will be on guard."

"One more thing. As Fulilian's exploration of the Eternal City progresses, some hidden dangers should be dealt with. There's no need to keep restless things at this critical moment."

The meaningful words made Iggy nod deeply.

Both the master and the servant knew that first of all, Selvis was troublesome. In addition, the Supreme Will's control over the shadow beast might affect Blaze... They had to be prepared to clean up the mess and be mentally prepared.

……

Hyde Fortress Blessing Point.

This is the shortest distance to the place where the stars fell, and Fulilian, who values efficiency, prefers this teleportation location.

After completing her long trek, she subconsciously sensed her surroundings, trying to avoid any attacks. Instead, she encountered a bustling town, bustling with activity. As the capital of Hyde Territory, it was completely different from its predecessor, sporting a brand new look.

The blessing where he was located was on an altar, attracting much attention.

It is very much in his style. He even planted flower beds around the altar. You can see that they are trimmed and cared for all year round, and the fragrance is everywhere.

"Your Majesty, you are finally here for your inspection!"

The people shopping around were stunned at first, and then they cheered and expressed their warm welcome.

"Your Majesty, you have finally remembered the first fiefdom you saved. The residents of Hyde County have been looking forward to your visit again. Are you here to inspect it?"

"Yeah, huh? Right."

Fulilian, who was about to take a step forward to rush to the place where the stars fell, had no choice but to nod.

Now that the atmosphere is right, you can't just run away. That would be too rude.

At the same time, Melina whispered, "It's the king's duty to check the status of the territory. You might as well respond to them and take a break. After all, this is a place of commemorative significance, isn't it?"

"It's pretty good too."

Everyone knows that the Soul Fire King made his fortune in the Hyde Fortress area. This is a fact, and with the lord's deliberate promotion, it has become widely known.

The residents are really proud of this, and many of them come here just to see it.

The first group of natives were also called "the first blessed souls". Although they were used as experimental subjects for Frelian's new magic, the result was good. The first step to conquer the zombies began from then on.

Without their brave cooperation, the healing of the soul magic would probably be slightly delayed.

History had dictated the creation of this invention, but their contributions were equally important, and some of their faces were familiar to Fleury.

"Are you from the logging village in the Demihuman Forest?"

"Your Majesty still remembers!"

"After all, that's where I got the Demihuman Queen's Staff."

The silver-haired girl asked with a look of nostalgia on her face: "By the way, aren't you guys engaged in logging anymore?"

"No, the demand is actually higher now. We are processing wood."

The former logging village has become a pure raw material production site, which is then transported to the capital of Hyde for refined processing. This is equivalent to forming a division of labor efficiency. Skilled craftsmen gather here, and efficiency is getting higher and higher.

In addition, Frillian also met Hyde's retainer, and the two sides had a brief acquaintance.

"It's a pity that the lord is not here, otherwise he would be very happy to see your majesty."

"Since I'm here, I want to resupply."

"Please do as you please."

"I need to replenish my bows and arrows, medicinal herbs, throwing knives, and the like. If you have the energy to spare, you'd better keep an eye on the place where the stars fell..."

Although she may not use them, she is keen on preparing various collections. Only when she has sufficient supplies can she feel at ease.

Fulilian also revealed some news about the underground world, asking the neighboring Hyde fiefdom to be prepared to avoid any aftermath. After all, no one knew how big the commotion would be.

The retainer who was listening to the order carefully took notes, and suddenly an idea came to him:

"Your Majesty, should we spread the word and have the Faded Ones and mercenaries join the exploration? That's a huge treasure trove."

"First, they can explore the way and help follow up on intelligence. I heard that Roger, Neferi and other Faded Ones active in this area are quite powerful and should be interested. It can also improve efficiency, otherwise exploring alone would be too slow."

"Secondly, our Hyde Territory can also serve as a transit point and usher in another period of prosperity, thus mitigating the dangers of the nearby entrance."

"Please consider this."

"Word will eventually get out. If we don't proactively establish regulations and call for action, the various secret passages leading underground will become chaotic, and sooner or later, trouble will arise."

"It would be better to let the title of quasi-king Xian endorse it."

As the retainer spoke, he proposed some specific plans, going so far as to detail how to recruit and establish regulations...

Some other managers also gave suggestions, and the meeting became a real one.

The plan works.

Fulilian didn't understand detailed management, but she knew the Adventure Guild's approach worked, and it inspired her with many ideas. Isn't this the Labyrinth Kingdom? Using exploration to create peripheral value.

As expected of a fiefdom that cultivated half of the backbone of the southern faction, it was proven that the team under Hyde's leadership was not short of talent.

This kind of intelligence is not needed in the border areas during wars, but when the situation gradually stabilizes, they are needed to come up with strategies, otherwise the territory cannot develop.

"But there is one thing I want to remind you."

The silver-haired girl's serious tone made everyone fall silent and listen attentively.

"Two Fingers just launched another attack. He will uphold the punishment imposed on the Eternal City by the Dark Abandoned. In other words, any attempt to dig is a betrayal. Beware of retaliation. To gain an advantage is to choose an enemy."

"Have you thought about it?"

As a king, you have an obligation to share high-level information. Besides, Fulilian isn't too arrogant and believes that some situations should be made public. Don't keep your subordinates in the dark, or they won't be able to help you in a critical moment.

She also had no idea what level the legendary alien monsters were, and if a fierce battle broke out, it would inevitably affect the surrounding areas.

Although according to Latan's intelligence, the so-called Dark Abandoned Child may be summoned by the mastermind under the name of Supreme Will, his strength should not be underestimated.

Fulilian always measures her enemies with strict standards.

If the mastermind behind this were to retaliate recklessly, including the Hyde Territory that supported underground exploration, wouldn't the losses be heavy?

"The choice is yours."

"No, Your Majesty, our opinions never matter."

"why?"

The people looked at each other with understanding smiles, some relieved but also a little sad. Then the retainer replied:

"Whether the common people of the borderland are affected depends entirely on the king's will. What matters most is whether you can protect us. If you can, even if we die, you will avenge us. Moreover, the souls blessed by you will surely return safely to the tree, so we have no fear. There is no point in being afraid."

"What we think is not important. What matters is, can Your Majesty and Lady Lani kill the two fingers that are causing this trouble?"

"of course."

He is already on the kill list.

The forces that threaten the safety of allies and are eyeing her own are unimportant to Fulilian. She doesn't take them to heart anyway. The key is the threat, and the unstable factors must be eliminated.

Whether it is the conspirator who caused the murder or the monster who destroyed civilization, they all deserve to die.

"Your Majesty, our fates are already shared. If you are not afraid, why should we be afraid? Those who dare to explore the underground must also have the courage. I believe in you all."

"I thought two fingers would be more feared in everyone's eyes."

"Yes, it's frightening. But what does that fear of someone plotting against you compare to the king's majesty? The borderlands revere the first King Gefulei, a king like your majesty. What's so great about a guy who just calls the shots from behind the scenes?"

"That's right, two fingers didn't save the junction."

"If something goes wrong, I don't know where to hide. What's the point of the God of Light announcing the standards for an audience with the Circle of Magic?"

All these words express everyone's inner thoughts, and there is no lack of resentment. You can use them as much as you want.

The results of it?

Now it was Fulilian who was working diligently to restore the entire South without even using the law, which was different from what Two Fingers said.

The silver-haired girl replied solemnly: "Since everyone is determined, let's do it."

206

Chapter 206: Saving Blaze.

His Majesty has made the final decision.

Since the king has agreed, Lord Hyde will proactively publicize the underground world's entrance and promote this exploration. Risk? What's that? Fortune and honor are achieved through risk. Those difficult millennia were personally borne by the Soul Fire Queen, so how could he hold her back?

To be honest, people are even getting more and more annoyed with double-fingers. Comparing yourself with others will make you feel nauseous, and comparing goods will make you throw them away.

In the past, Shuangzhi was mumbling and didn't speak human language, but I still have a thought in my mind.

Given their reputation, ordinary people in the border areas were willing to believe that order would be restored, and then everyone suffered from the zombies for thousands of years.

fraud.

Especially after Fulilian came up with a series of plans such as soul healing, suppressing the dead, and absorbing the scarlet corruption, other things pale in comparison and have long been swept into the trash in people's minds.

Using two fingers to destroy the alliance between the Soul Fire King and the Moon Princess is to destroy the overall environment.

If something happens to the candidates for king and god, it will also cost lives.

So both sides are enemies.

The retainer spoke loudly, "We in Hyde County were the first to support Your Majesty. If we fail, we will inevitably be held accountable. Therefore, no one is more suitable than us to serve as an outpost for the underworld. Your authorization is of great help. The territory will surely prosper."

"That also requires ability and courage. There's no need to exaggerate my role. The benefits are the reward you deserve."

"Your Majesty, the equipment you requested is ready."

A large bundle of arrows, throwing knives, and medicinal herbs lay before her, heavy and substantial, wrapped in hard leather. She lifted it with one hand and summoned Torret to place it on top.

That's right, you should explore new maps fully armed. No matter if it's useful or not, you should seek satisfaction and pursue the joy of adventure.

set off.

With a wave of her hand, the silver-haired girl mounted her spirit horse and galloped towards the north at full speed.

There was no need for any extra positioning, as the energy reaction was too strong to be ignored. It seemed to be the overflow of magic from the underground world, like lighting a lamp at night.

After half a day's journey.

A massive crater appeared in the distance, with earth and rock scattering and suspended in the air. Rather than a meteorite crater, it was more like a chaotic yet stable gravitational field, barely maintaining a balance under the superposition of multiple states, creating a spectacular spectacle.

Even from a great distance she could feel the gravity magic and the whistling wind tunnel.

When they arrived at the gap, what came into view was a spiral broken tunnel, dark and bottomless. The rising wind made Fulilian's long silver hair fly, as if roaring in welcome.

"It seems there's already some strong residual gravity magic down there."

She tilted her chin, studying it carefully. "Then, the aftermath of Latarn's unsealing of the stars disrupted the balance, and a new equilibrium was established."

"Creates a Shattered State pit entrance."

Melina appeared and warned: "So this means that Dark Abandoned Este is very strong. Be careful."

"of course."

Flillian was curious about how powerful a monster could be that could single-handedly wipe out civilization.

"At least according to legend, the Supreme Will sent down two beasts. One of them was the Punisher, who destroyed the Eternal City, possessing great status and power. It must still be alive, but it fell into a deep sleep when it could no longer communicate with its superiors."

"Now I have to find Blaze's mark... I got it!"

In the face of the meticulous and ultra-wide range of perception, all information is revealed. As expected, a line of small words is hidden under a piece of stone:

The Kalia badge represents identity, and this amulet is still kept by Fulilian.

"I'll go to the Shivla River to investigate first."

During this time, Blazer was steadily exploring the underground world, probably from shallow to deep, and the location corresponding to the fog forest elevator was the first choice. It was guaranteed to be safe and reliable, and it was indeed worth a visit.

"Anyway, we missed the entrance to the fog forest last time, so let's explore along it."

"You want to take the underground route?"
