Frillian in the Elden Ring

"Correct."

"Although I know your style is to explore everything, it's not easy to get to the river through the gap in the Eternal City."

Melina then watched as Fulilian created a gravity sphere as a landing point.

"So, let's dive down to the wellhead of the Shivra River from a high altitude, so we can get a closer look at what this Eternal City looks like?"

The silver-haired girl said as she carefully adjusted a series of gravity angles.

At this moment, Melina actually felt a little regretful for stopping her from going underground directly. But then again, given the style of this model adventurer, she would sooner or later come up with all kinds of radical attempts.

In fact, Fulilian’s attempt was not groundless, but the result of a technological breakthrough.

The magic of flying still cannot be realized at the border.

But the new breakthrough in reality has deepened her understanding of gravity magic, allowing her to adjust the direction of action and my output in more detail. Isn't this a means of transportation?

General Starbreaker can transform himself into a meteor and sweep away an army. That level of destruction is the goal of gravity magic.

"Fly."

She leaped toward the cave entrance.

Almost at the same time, Melina returned to Fulilian in the form of a spirit, and then felt a strong whistling wind, roaring in her ears, and the feeling of weightlessness in her body was inevitably worrying. There was no trace of light below, as if it led directly to an endless abyss.

But there was no trace of fear on the silver-haired girl's face. Instead, she couldn't wait to descend from the high altitude.

A flash of starry sky color appeared below, and the gravity ball rushed towards the light.

Whoosh!

A slime-like monster seemed to appear below, staring at her hungrily, but Fulilian ignored it and instead searched for the location in her memory.

"According to what Lani said about Blaze's exploration results, that should be the Horned Skeleton Spiritual Land of the Shivra River."

She pointed in the distance and said, "Let's go there first. After all, it might be related to the ancestral spirits."

"I don't know these ancient creatures. Let's go and see."

At the same time, the two saw traces of a lush green forest emerging from the ground, among which were tall and strong ancestral people.

They stared up into the sky in shock.

A purple-white meteor trailed a long tail. Atop the gravity sphere stood a girl with pointed ears. Her aura was boundless, and her gaze was shuddering. Natural energy seemed to leap for joy, echoing the terrifying magical force.

Who could have invaded here from the surface? Aren't they afraid of the legend of destroying civilization?

Hide first.

The ancestral spirits, who instinctively felt something was wrong, hid themselves and soon disappeared in the forest. Fulilian in the sky thought to herself, "Am I really that scary?"

Forget it, finding talents is more important.

Her magical perception scan spread to a very large area, and as expected, she captured the figure of a cloaked half-wolf.

Yet Blaze rested against a broken wall, his breath low and his face weary. Was he injured? No, there was something wrong. It seemed as if some spiritual force was haunting him.

Realizing that the situation was not good, Fulilian fell straight down.

A loud bang startled Blaze, and when he looked up he saw a familiar face.

"Be careful, you've been hit by a very subtle mental interference force. It's very deep and difficult to deal with. Is there a similar enemy here?"

"You are indeed Your Majesty, saving me the trouble of explaining."

"Unfortunately, this interference has become deeply integrated into your mind. I can only suppress it, but I cannot eradicate it."

As she spoke, Flillian used her Sunshine Healing technique, a miracle cure that always worked, but it only managed to clear a trace of Blaze's madness, clearly ineffective. While she was healing, she also kept a watchful eye on her surroundings. Where was the murderer?

strangeness.

Blaze shook his head and smiled bitterly, "As Lady Lani's shadow beast, it's understandable that I ended up like this."

"Two-finger control?"

"Yes, I actually have a murderous urge towards Lady Lani..."

"Don't worry about it. We all know you're loyal to her. You'll be able to hold on."

"This isn't a question of whether I can hold on. From now on, I have to wonder if my consciousness will be led in a direction that would be detrimental to Lady Lani. I'm not trustworthy. Go quickly and continue exploring the Eternal City to find the treasure."

"Of course I won't let you resist alone."

Sedation.

The calming magic mixed with soul power hit Blaze's forehead. The latter shuddered and started coughing violently, but recovered a little after a while.

The power from the two fingers is dissipating, but unfortunately it still lingers deep in the soul, which is simply a pollution.

Fulilian wasn't a qualified spiritualist. She could use it, but wasn't good at healing. Moreover, using it too much would inevitably involve the power of the ancient gods. Therefore, she tended to be defensive and counterattack-oriented mentally, making it difficult for her to provide healing.

Fortunately, the spirit is at least related to the soul, which slightly eases the two-finger control.

"Thanks, I'm feeling better now."

Blaze breathed a sigh of relief, and the murderous intent towards Lani in his heart finally dissipated. It turned out that it was not his will.

That's good, that's great, just knowing that is enough comfort.

Otherwise, when he regained his sanity, he should have committed suicide as soon as possible to avoid causing trouble to his companions.

“It’s just treating the symptoms but not the root cause.”

The silver-haired girl shook her head and explained the current situation to the patient. Her two fingers had deeply affected the shadow beast. A slight prying of the spirit would cause fluctuations, making it difficult to cure. All therapeutic effects were limited to suppression.

Admittedly, suppression alone could hold them over for a while, but it was ultimately a hidden danger. For Lani, betrayal was a possibility, and the safety of her allies was crucial to her plans.

In the future, Fulilian may not necessarily need the Law of the Stars to repair the magic ring, but she must find a divine support to be prepared for any eventuality.

"Is there any other way?"

"The easiest thing is to kill the two fingers of Lani who is controlling you."

"I should be sealed away to be safe."

“It’s a conservative treatment.”

The silver-haired girl nodded. "And during this time, I will deploy special calming magic for you. Don't worry, killing Two-Fingers won't take much effort. As long as He shows up, whether or not the Hunting Finger Knife is there isn't the most important thing."

There are countless ways to deal with the undead. Qiao has no shortage of them, and she has plenty of ways to deal with you.

But timing is important.

I guess Lani was also arranging her troops to lure the two fingers into attacking. Otherwise, it would take forever for the enemy to be in the dark and for us to be in the open. So Fulilian was not in a hurry to act, but followed the plan step by step.

Blaze sighed and said, "Can you tell me what Kalia Castle is like?"

"The Two-Fingered Killer strikes again..."

The shocking information made his pupils shrink suddenly and he broke out in a cold sweat. He almost thought that something had happened to Lani.

Fortunately, Fulilian was as reliable as ever, even Two Finger's long-planned attack was intercepted and thwarted. It's easy to imagine how furious the mastermind was. Who could have predicted the timely support of the Soul Cinder King?

He probably considered it, but he wasn't quick enough and underestimated her strength.

"I'm glad everything's fine. If that's the case, I shouldn't go back and hold them back. This is a critical period for the plan, and we absolutely cannot afford to let anything go wrong."

"indeed."

"Once I've rested, I'll contact Mr. Iggy and ask him to enter the seal voluntarily. Sorry, I can't help you. Only you can complete the task of finding the Hunting Finger Knife."

"Don't worry, you will see victory when you come out."

Blaze suddenly changed the subject: "Actually, giving up on me is the safest option. Would you consider it?"

"You are capable and loyal, and you are an indispensable talent."

Fulilian said solemnly, "And I don't think Lani wants to make too many sacrifices. No matter how prepared someone says they are or how indifferent they appear, they can't really be alone."

"Your Majesty is more caring than I thought."

"If a team wants to accomplish something, mental health is also essential. I've had enough of tragedy and the madness of this world."

"Um……"

It seemed like the Faded Ones from beyond the Junction had a lot of stories, but Blaze suppressed his curiosity.

"Also, this area called the Horned Skeleton Spiritual Land seems to harbor hidden powers. I lit the surrounding fires and discovered that the energy is gathering into some kind of creature. Please pay close attention."

"I understand. You can take a rest. Let's say goodbye for now."

At the same time, Freellian did not forget to inject Blaze with a long-lasting calming magic energy, enough to keep the two fingers out of control during the period.

Both sides said goodbye to each other and left.

This was like a prelude, and the plan ahead was fraught with difficulties and dangers. Even now, some companions had to stop, clearly indicating the situation was extremely dangerous.

However, the mastermind behind the scenes has targeted everyone, and no one can stay out of it, so it’s better to fight.

The silver-haired girl wandered through the ruins, searching for traces of magical power flowing.

Thanks to Blaze's advance lighting of some fires, they converged into a clear trajectory, especially visible to the eyes of a top magician. It was undoubtedly some hidden creature that could be summoned.

"Jellyfish?"

At that moment, Fulilian spotted several floating jellyfish surrounding a broken beam not far away. They were similar to the ones Lienia had seen. Why were they gathered together? There was a treasure!

Experience tells her that such places often yield rewards.

With that thought in mind, she leaped, easily reaching the high bridge thanks to gravity. The jellyfish nearby were frightened and fled, fearing they would be killed if they stayed even a minute longer.

"...Why are the creatures here so afraid of me? Is it because I released more power and then failed to restrain it?"

"That's partly why, but also because underground creatures seem to be very perceptive."

Melina said.

"The magic is indeed very strong."

Unlike the weathered and ravaged surface, this place still retains the atmosphere of ancient times, and because it is relatively closed, the magic power gathers and settles in one place.

But Fulilian is more concerned about the long-lost new amulet:

It lay quietly on the beam, shaped like a deer antler, but with too many branches, and was colorful and showed a lot of signs of processing.

Colorful necklace.

207

Chapter 207 Ancestral Spirits.

It's a really strange-looking amulet.

It feels prickly when placed in the palm of your hand, but its colorful appearance lives up to its name.

Fulilian carefully observed and felt the special flow of magic and the description.

[Colorful Necklace +1]

【Ornaments of the Ancestral People】

[Among them, valuable items decorated with various colors]

[Can significantly increase immunity, robustness, and sanity by 60 points each]

[It is said that this is a horn that is about to sprout. The horns of long-lived beasts will sprout new buds. After continuously sprouting new buds, the beast will become an ancestral spirit.]

Quite comprehensive.

Not only does it add many attributes, but the single values are also high. It's a pity that it doesn't directly increase the basic attributes. Of course, that's almost at the level of a Great Rune. For an amulet to achieve this level is considered excellent.

She weighed the amulet for a few seconds and murmured, "The beast becoming an ancestral spirit, could this be a hint of something?"

Looking down at the surroundings from the broken beam, the flowing natural magic becomes increasingly clear, making it difficult for a keen magician to ignore it.

There must be a clue.

Fulilian's gaze fell on a distant skeleton. It was the body of a reindeer-like animal, sprawled on the ground, emitting a rich magical energy. Unlike the decayed remains of ordinary corpses, it was vibrant with life, as if it could stand up and jump at any moment.

Following the guidance of the magic, she checked the surrounding braziers and increased the supply of magic power.

I can't afford to let more energy gather in my bones.

"Interesting, could it be a portal or something?"

“There’s a similar feeling.”
