Frillian in the Elden Ring

Next to the ruins of the battlefield on the coast of Moren City, Fulilian and Edgar, standing in the ruins, give people an atmosphere of confrontation.

Their subordinates looked at each other with a hint of embarrassment.

It was quite satisfying to have everyone fighting side by side just now, but we have to face a question: Do the Faded Ones really want to drag the nobles of the Weeping Peninsula into rebellion against the Fragment King?

But I have no way to repay the life-saving grace, and now I am caught in a dilemma between loyalty and righteousness.

How to do?

The two people in the eye of the storm were calm and composed. The silver-haired girl picked up the sword skeleton as promised and wielded it easily with one hand, as if it were her own arm.

"You deserve the relic, Master Flillian. I beg you not to let it go untouched. But whether I should watch you challenge Lord Gregor is another matter."

She didn't answer but instead summoned a zombie, who was stupid and stiff all over.

There are too many people like this at the border, living a life worse than death, yet maintaining a small labor force capable of doing some work. In any case, it is a portrayal of a desolate and dead world, a symbol of decay.

The silver-haired girl cast a sunlight healing magic, which was different from before, and it exuded a strong soul aura.

Accompanied by a wisp of flame.

It was the soul fire that was reforging its target, and the zombie's eyes unexpectedly showed a hint of spirit, a few syllables came out of its mouth, and even its flesh recovered slightly...

Everyone stood up in astonishment, their pupils trembling. What could this mean? Soul-repairing magic? It compensated for the side effects of the long-term absence of the tree, and even had a counter-effect on physical recovery. It was simply miraculous!

After a while, the zombies returned from a serious state to the stage of just decaying.

It is already a historic leap forward.

This means that many laborers, such as soldiers who have a certain strength to resist zombification, can directly turn back into normal people, and more people will no longer have the anxiety of zombification and have no worries.

"A miracle, a miracle beyond any magic." Edgar murmured.

"Thanks to you, Melina, your presence has allowed me to understand the soul rules of the borderland."

"You are so talented."

"I also want to thank Teacher Se Lian for helping me understand the magic system here, which in turn inspired me to study soul magic."

The bunch of sparks held in Fulilian's palm carried hope and shone brightly. In the eyes of everyone, it was no less than a giant tree spreading golden light and rising in the morning sun.

"Right now, I can't reverse my mild zombification, nor can I conduct large-scale operations. This is because I lack a resonance of principles with the borderland. And there is only one best medium for resonance: the Great Rune."

"——I need the fragments of the Elden Ring and the best prayer teacher to help me complete the soul magic."

She did not mention any personal interests but expressed her position in a righteous way.

Everyone knows the meaning of soul healing magic.

Take a gamble!

A hint of determination appeared in the eyes of those who had wavered just now. Since the miracle was happening before their eyes, why not try to believe it? Why not let the Faded One obtain the Great Rune, even if it was just a pie in the sky?

Irena spoke out at the right time to persuade him: "Flillian has saved many people and made outstanding contributions. I think she is a reliable leader."

No extra words are needed, the deeds that have destroyed the Demon Sword so far speak for themselves.

After a moment, Edgar took a deep breath and replied, "There's been a lot going on today. Let me think about it. How about we clean up the battlefield together first?"

The silver-haired girl nodded.

The city lord is a smart man and knows very well that he should not make decisions based on the circumstances. He buys himself time to think, and working together can enhance understanding and support decision-making.

So she also ordered 300 noble soldiers to join the work.

In fact, in the eyes of some people, Edgar had already agreed. Otherwise, would you turn a blind eye to the man who saved your daughter and yourself? That would be even more unkind to the demeanor of a knight.

Fulilian chose to leave some alone time for the father and daughter, believing that they could work out a solution.

Melina waved from a distance.

The two partners came to the most remote place on the coastline. Behind a broken wall, there was a lingering smell of madness and a dried-up eyeball.

"Sometimes the actions of the Mad Fire Force leave traces, such as this, the grapes commonly known as Chapolili."

"Who?"

"He is the spokesperson for the Mad Fire, and he loves to lure the Faded into joining him. He can possess different bodies, making him difficult to kill. He was once punished by having his eyes crushed for slandering an important figure, and his eye sockets have become the reservoir of the Mad Fire."

"He seems to have some special magical enhancement reaction..."

"Is it the rumored Shapoliri Roar? It can accumulate benefits at the cost of going insane. Faded One, don't be interested in inexplicable things."

"Okay, I know you hate them."

"It's not that I hate them, but the entire border region should be punished for their insanity," Melina corrected seriously. "Those who wield forbidden powers must be punished. We must be careful."

Fulilian didn't know why the witch was so concerned, but she would understand it eventually.

She rolled her eyes.

Although it is a bit strange, it is a collectible that welcomes all kinds of items. It is far from the most evil one in the dazzling array of items.

At the same time, the battlefield cleanup in Moren City went smoothly. Some dying hybrids were cleared out and completely eliminated. In addition, there were still some who had never rebelled.

Originally they were servants, and now that they had proven their worth, they could be locked up and tamed. The winged hybrids, in particular, could serve as transport soldiers.

In short, the fighting gradually subsided at the southernmost end of the border area.

Some civilians who had been hiding or imprisoned were also rescued, and everyone was happy that they had finally avoided the final step of being massacred. People couldn't help but think that the Grek soldiers would be delayed until they were wiped out.

Fortunately, Lady Fulilian led the army to support us, otherwise everyone would have died.

"Long live!"

I don't know which survivor waved and shouted to the silver-haired girl first, and then someone else responded, and they continued to shout.

They thanked the Faded One for his help from the bottom of their hearts, and seeing this, Furlian also responded with a wave. This exchange made the ordinary people feel more friendly. After all, most big shots don't bother to pay attention.

Despite the hardships, the castle quickly recovered.

Suddenly, Irena came over and said, "I have persuaded my father. He has invited Lady Fulilian to the city lord's attic for further discussions."

Obedience was better than respect, so the silver-haired girl went into a simple office. There was a map spread out on the desk, which was even more detailed than the inscription she had copied.

Edgar performed the chivalric ceremony.

"I won't answer you right now, but I can offer some advice: If you want to fully mobilize the power of the Weeping Peninsula, there are several nodes that must be opened up. For example, the underground maze and the sealed prison, which separate different settlements."

"Tell me about it in detail."

Chapter 48 Plan: Unifying the Weeping Peninsula

When mentioning the dungeon maze, Fulilian suddenly became interested, her morale was high, and she couldn't wait to search for the treasure chests in it.

Since the automatic pickup MOD came into being, she only needed to concentrate on exploring, and some equipment that was once easily overlooked would be automatically included. It was much more convenient, and made her eager to try it out.

Edgar pointed to the center of the map.

"In the central part of the Weeping Peninsula, there are sick villages contaminated by the infernal fire, which have separated many population centers. Some villages are difficult to integrate with Morn City, and the local nobles are suffering."

"It's time to make up my mind to deal with them once and for all. I will clear out the sick village."

"In addition, clearing the Morn Tunnel in the south-central part will open up a vertical line to connect the peninsula, fully mobilizing our forces..."

He showed the information about Morn Tunnel:

The strongest one is just a scaled hybrid, and the rest of the monsters are not worth mentioning. It is not difficult to defeat them if you concentrate on conquering them.

The city lord's plan directly targets the two major sources of rebellion, the Mad Fire and the Hybrids. It is obvious that he is no longer going to be conservative and wants to take the initiative to eliminate the threatening factors. Otherwise, it will not be enough to support the future front-line battlefield and make the peninsula the most peaceful.

"Lord Fulilian, the prerequisite is that you are willing to send out combat forces. After all, apart from the Sick Village, the Morn Tunnel has a rugged terrain. It is best to have strong people to support the maze."

"can."

"Thank you very much. We can secure this half of the center line now."

“Where am I responsible?”

"That's exactly what we're talking about." Edgar pointed to two locations. "The upper center line is more challenging. On one side are the more complex vertical caves, and on the other are the demihuman forest ruins."

"The former is infested with Rune Bears, so they're not very strong. You'll need to be careful when clearing the maze. As for the Demihuman Forest, you'll need to focus on conquering it."

"Leave the cave to my people. After all, the Black Blade Assassin can handle a whole maze on his own. The Fran Undead Corps can split up, and I'll be in charge of the subhuman monsters in the Mori Ling ruins."

There's no point wasting time on low-level dungeons.

Under normal circumstances, Freellian would have been eager to explore them one by one, but compared to the world of "Dark Souls", the interconnectedness of all parties in "Elden Circle" is stronger, and the opportunity is fleeting, so she must divide her forces.

By the way, let the Fran Undead Squad adapt to the battles at the border area, as they will have to attack the city of Stonewell in the future.

Moreover, the style of the elves is that they can do the job for you just by being a little lazy.

Edgar continued, "Once we open up the central line, we'll be able to connect to the western part of the Weeping Peninsula. There's a large lowland plain there, with a large population, and it's an indispensable combat force."

"But there's a prison in the west that frequently blows frosty winds that affect the surrounding area. It's where the ancient hero Samir is imprisoned, and it's very troublesome."

"She was one of the heroes of the Giant War. There was no choice but to conquer or recapture her."

"understood."

After hearing the news about the strong man, Fulilian became very interested. Only by fighting more can she better grasp the level of the strong men in the border area.

Otherwise, it's still unclear what level the demigod Garrick is at. According to the legend, he's not very powerful, so his playability should be stronger than Bernal and Grunger, who appeared earlier. Unless both of them are hiding their abilities.

Samir's hero is worth fighting for.

"If you're willing, that's perfect. We can use this opportunity to truly control the Weeping Peninsula and fully mobilize the power of the most peaceful region on the border... So you're not worried?"

Edgar asked in confusion, "Aren't you worried that I'll use you to unify the peninsula but you'll refuse to pledge allegiance?"

"It doesn't matter. I don't seek any loyalty. As long as a corner of the border is restored, that's good enough."

"Your realm puts me to shame. You are the true master."

"No need for politeness. Let's rest and prepare first. We'll set out on the expedition after we've gathered our strength."

"Alright."

Unconsciously, Edgar had completely listened to Fulilian's advice. In fact, his actual actions had already made the choice, but it would take some time for him to accept it mentally.

Moreover, as the city lord, he knew very well that once he pledged allegiance, he would have to participate in the siege of Stonewell. It would be better to accumulate some troops before discussing future strategies.

The Weeping Peninsula will be unified in their generation.

After walking out of the office, Fulilian was shocked to see that many hybrid corpses had disappeared, either buried or turned into ashes. The bloody smell in the city of Moren finally dissipated with the wind.

“It’s an environment that allows people to calm down.”

The silver-haired girl returned to the lion hybrid ruins on the coastline to continue deducing magic.

The general direction of soul research was correct. After all, the worlds he had previously experienced were closely connected to the soul, each one interconnected. He wouldn't notice it while in that environment, but upon reaching the intersection, inspiration struck.

Did the elves have a very long reflex arc? Anyway, she had already found a possibility. Repairing the soul worked. Now she summoned a few zombies to test them one by one and restored some of them.

very smooth.

"Unfortunately, it only works on a single target at the moment. The efficiency is too low. Even if I could develop a large-scale magic, it wouldn't be enough for me alone."

"So the prayer-based approach proposed by Teacher Seren is worth a try. Everyone can use it to repair..."

Fulilian wasn't anxious. After all, the road to magic research was long, and she had a hunch: soul magic was extremely advanced. It would evolve into the same unbreakable magic as the Seven Collapse Sages of the Demon Race, which possessed certain regularities.

In reality, one more method means a higher survival rate.

For the border area, death is nothing more than returning to the tree. What many people really fear is abnormal death, but now she may change.

If the zombies were counted, there were still quite a few people left in the border area.

If soul magic research succeeds in the future, wouldn't it be a great help to revitalize this part of the population? They will be reborn, turning the ineffective population into the effective population, and promoting the development of the world from the most basic logic.

And there is another key point:

"Melina, I will find a way to get you a body. Since you've studied the soul, you should combine it with the body."

"You don't have to think so much about me, but thank you."

"Has anyone in the border area conducted in-depth research on this? Or who is the most powerful magician?"

"A magician? Starshatter General Latarn would be considered one, but he's not known for his research, and his style tends to be a fusion of warrior and mage... similar to you. Besides, he's the Full Moon Queen, whose Great Rune is said to be able to create living things."

"I've got it in mind. Coincidentally, Stonewell City controls the area leading to Lienia of the Lake. That magic academy must contain a lot of rare and precious information..."

So far, the various magics at the border have not disappointed Frelian. There is probably a lot of new knowledge that she has not had time to discover.

She continued to delve into the soul.
