Frillian in the Elden Ring

As the absolute central location in the south, equivalent to the capital of a country, it naturally gathers a large amount of intelligence information.

Their help is indispensable to taking over a vast territory.

Although she had no interest in ruling the city herself, she enjoyed collecting books to enhance her knowledge, and staying up late to read was quite rewarding. Given time, Stonewell City should be fully renovated, as some of its old belongings might be of some use.

Sometimes the elves forget a small item, and finding it again many years later is a novelty, with an atmosphere of treasure hunting.

"Forget it, we'll talk about it later."

As usual, Fulilian dressed and washed up with sleepy eyes. Melina had appeared and helped her comb her hair skillfully. Similar scenes happened several times during the journey.

Originally, she disliked the Fader for being too slow, especially taking a long time to comb his hair, so she couldn't help but go up to help, and it became a routine. This guy seemed to be able to easily turn the care of others into a routine.

Facts have proved that there is no delay at all. Although the pace of life is slow, the fighting is actually unstoppable.

At this moment, they were actually resting in the best room in Stonewell City, which was unimaginable when they were in the Prince's Chapel.

"The bed is too hard. I couldn't sleep well."

"Not many people use the beds at the border. Those who have transformed into zombies just sit there and rest. Sometimes you can't even tell if they are dead or alive."

"It's okay. Things will change slowly in the future. With the Great Rune, I'll try to fix some people's zombie symptoms."

"Really?"

"The fragments of the Elden Ring symbolize the embodiment of the world's laws and are also full of tolerance. They can serve as a medium for me to exert different powers. Its connection and amplification can allow me to further advance my research on soul magic."

When it comes to magic research, Fulilian is never careless and always strives for perfection.

Melina, knowing this, gained a little more confidence. In comparison, saving more people was as important as repairing the Elden Ring, because the law could not reverse the zombies.

"By the way, they preliminarily confirmed the path leading to the underground area last night, but they didn't go in and are still investigating the periphery."

"It's okay to wait a while."

"One more thing: If you want to go to the Round Table Hall, let me know. We've already established a connection with the Great Blessing Space."

With that, Melina vanished into particles of light, merging into the body of the Faded One. This was her wont. She briefly explained the situation and then hurriedly vanished, seemingly too busy to engage in further conversation.

The way the two of them get along is in line with the slow pace of the elves.

Freelian checked the game panel and saw a new change:

The obtained [Cloud Archive MOD] can be saved at any time without affecting the game progress, and the previous moment will still be maintained when the user returns next time.

[The Miraculous Gift of the Power of Time]

One of the Supreme Powers

【Perhaps your existence is to redeem those regrets that are difficult to grasp】

Even the descriptions are the same. According to the rules of the previous few times, the MOD unlocked in the first large-scale BOSS battle is fixed, and the rest are all random. However, the archived data plus your own accumulation are enough.

Theoretically, Freellian could leave now and return to the elf village to study magic for a few decades, and the next time she came back, she would still be in the bedroom in the high tower of Stonewell City.

hold on.

Some things are not yet completed. If you quit directly, it will feel too disconnected. At least get the troublesome coronation done and don't leave it for next time.

This city needs careful planning and rest, and the same goes for the Nimgfu area. Let's wait until things get back on track. After all, the elves are never in a hurry, so it's no big deal even if they return to reality.

Apart from clearing out the threat posed by the Demon General, it shouldn't be too busy.

"I'm free anyway, so I might as well go to the Armory and collect some..."

With this thought, Fulilian put away her equipment and put on her mage's robe and boots, which were light and loose.

Only in boss battles in games and real-life combat will she be fully armed and ready with all means. Otherwise, she will do whatever is convenient for her.

Crunch!

After opening the door, they saw a group of busy maids cleaning the room, as if they were going to clean the entire tower. When they saw the silver-haired girl walk out of the room, they immediately greeted her good morning and bowed.

"So many people came in just one night?"

"Your Majesty, you've actually been asleep for two days. It was Lord Kenneth who asked us to move into Stonewell City to do some cleaning. He said that in addition to taking care of Your Majesty's daily needs, we also need to make this place a place worthy of your rule."

"Forget about your daily life. I'm more familiar with you. They can't do it."

Melina warned in her ear.

Fulilian nodded in response to her witch partner, and verbally refused:

"I travel frequently and rarely stay in one place for long. Your main task is to organize the books and be careful of insects. It would be best if you could copy them all."

"As you command, you will be the King of Elden after all."

Although he had only recently declared himself king, his reputation as the "Bury of the Demon Sword" had already spread throughout half of the border area. Everyone knew that this newcomer, the Faded One, had lofty ambitions, and only the Royal City was worthy of being his target.

Even though the majestic and brilliant Yatan Plateau has been ravaged by war, the remaining heritage is incomparable to that of remote places.

That is the king's stage.

Whether or not the maids understood Freelian didn't care, instead they headed towards the armory with great interest.

This place had already been taken over and tidied by the Southern Army, so it was naturally unobstructed. The guards immediately flattered the new city lord. As for Fulilian, she didn't listen at all, instead focusing on whether there were any good things to collect...

It is a huge semi-underground oval dome interior space filled with a wide variety of weapons, and more importantly, it stores scarce resources:

Forging Stone.

Fulilian picked up these small, angular pieces of forging stone. They were white in appearance, felt cool to the touch, and were very heavy.

As far as she knew, there were not many craftsmen who could use forging stone.

Therefore, the equipment of the great King of Nimgefu is actually all 0-enhancement, and he basically relies on his skills to make up for it, otherwise the damage will be nothing to the demigod.

Just then, Edgar walked in.

"Do we have any other similar forging stones? They seem to be of relatively low quality."

"It no longer exists. In fact, many of the forging stones here were collected by Greg from the Yatan Plateau. They are part of the heritage of the royal city of Rodel. They control the most weapons and equipment and the necessary forging resources. Legend has it that they once attempted to forge a god-killing weapon."

Because his family inherited a halberd that had been strengthened eight times, Edgar knew quite a bit about it, more than the average noble.

"I heard the best forge stone is in the legendary Sky City."

"In the ancient dragon's territory? Then you have to find an ancient dragon first, like becoming an ancient dragon knight? But that only existed during the heyday of the Golden Dynasty."

Frelian couldn't help but think of the life-and-death battle with the nameless king on top of the ancient dragon in the world of Dark Soul. They fought in thick fog and thunder. The battle was quite difficult. The enemies flying in the sky were very troublesome, especially the combination of a dragon and a king.

The ancient dragon knights in the border area must be very powerful, but unfortunately they have not appeared for too long and are only active in history.

"That's too long... What are you doing now?"

"Your Majesty, we are organizing and maintaining these weapons. Don't underestimate the number. Nimgefu's military equipment has been neglected for too long. Most of the weapons and armor are difficult to use."

"is it serious?"

"Please rest assured, as long as we mobilize a large number of craftsmen, we can still maintain basic performance. But to be honest, with our current accumulation, we can't expect to capture the Yatan Plateau."

Edgar, whose ancestors had faced the First King's army, knew very well how great the gap in strength was.

As someone who served Fulilian, he didn't mind organizing an army immediately, but fighting against a rock with an egg was not a good option.

In the long run, we should use Lake Lienia as a natural barrier and prepare for a protracted war. The main battlefield should be placed in the Magic Academy area. If we want to attack, it can also serve as the rear base, provided that the chaos there is dealt with.

It is impossible for a magician not to be interested in the magic academy.

After all, since taking charge, Fulilian has been ordering the collection of various magic books, scrolls, classics, etc., eagerly seeking knowledge.

The nobles were also happy to offer their treasures.

An academic supreme ruler is always better than the type who likes to mess around. Spending extra energy on magic is a win-win situation. Her greatest value lies in her contribution to magic research.

Whether from a strategic perspective or personal preference, the new Shard King will head north.

"You guys go ahead and do your work, I'll collect some supplies here."

As she spoke, the silver-haired girl kept picking up weapons, putting them in her arms and disappearing. At the border area, the power of Rune exists between all things. Some strong people can use it to carry weapons, especially those who have a blessed space.

It is well known that the new generation king of Nimgfu has a collecting habit and wants to pick the best of everything.

While most of the faded ones were in dire straits, she was enjoying the world. This mentality was enough to inspire her subordinates.

Don't bother me anymore.

After saying goodbye, Edgar went to check other equipment. He had to complete the reorganization of combat power as soon as possible, such as reorganizing the Southern Army and the City Defense Army to ensure their loyalty to the Lord of Stonewell City.

A ruler only needs to possess power and hold the legitimacy of the Great Rune.

These nobles have a lot to consider.

After a round of walking around, Fulilian found nothing new except better quality existing standard equipment. There was not even anything that triggered a prompt sound.

"Could it be that the southern Nimgefu and the Weeping Peninsula are actually quite poor?"

Melina replied, "It wasn't like this before, but with the Storm King's defeat, his forces were scattered to every corner of the borderland, and a large amount of essential supplies were transported to the royal city, almost draining Nimgefu of his lifeblood."

"Things were supposed to be gradually recovering, but then came the Night of the Black Knife. You know what happened next. The whole world seemed to freeze at that moment of greatest decline."

"Pity."

Fulilian couldn't help showing disappointment. She didn't expect that there would be nothing good in the main city of a country.

"Is the southern part of the border area so remote and full of disasters?"

"Indeed, the neighboring Gelid region looks more like apocalypse than anywhere else, filled with crimson-covered monsters clinging to its ecology... Otherwise, it should be richer than Nimgefu. After all, it's the fief of Starshatter General Latarn, so its quality is not bad."

On the other side of the wall of flames is death.

The only active and normal living people are the Red Lion Knights who faithfully guard and clean up the corruption, otherwise the disaster will spread sooner or later.

Speaking of this, Fulilian took out the map and looked at it carefully.

With the map supplement from the Stonewell City database, I no longer have to copy inscriptions everywhere. At least I have a general understanding of the surrounding areas, such as the Gaileyd area.

The scarlet soil is so eye-catching and filled with an atmosphere of death. It is the most doomsday land.

"Elaborate."

Melina had long since adapted to the Faded's insatiable curiosity, and so expertly presented information about the Galide. Unlike those who kept their distance and only heard about it, she had actually visited the region during her travels.

Even spirits feel uncomfortable in the land where the scarlet Ionian flower blooms.

"In fact, I feel from the bottom of my heart that the Fire Wall is unreliable. One day, the pollution will definitely reach Nimgefu and cause great suffering to the people."

"I like flowers. I wonder what the flower of Ionia looks like?"

Melina, who was worried, almost couldn't hold back her breath when she heard Fulilian's comment from a strange angle.

"Are you relaxed?"

"Yes, as long as magic, and even most technology, has logic, it is reversible. We should try to analyze it. There must be a way to cure the Scarlet Corruption. Otherwise, we wouldn't be worried about such a threat, right?"

"... Countless magicians and scholars have studied it over the years. Back then, the god-like Michaela even devoted everything he had to trying to heal his sister, but to no avail."

"But soul magic has never been achieved in the borderland either."

This sentence made Melina slightly stunned. It was indeed true. At present, Fulilian's achievements were unprecedented and unmatched. Her influence was probably no less than when she became the king.

The soul can be healed? What about scarlet corruption? Maybe it can actually work.

"First, I suggest you look for corruption-related magic or prayers. The stronger the better. Perhaps it will inspire you."

"I think so."

Just as the two were discussing their next plan, there was a loud bang under their feet, and an astonishing energy reaction was heard underground in Stonewell City!

70

Chapter 70: Monsters will also spawn underground.

I really can’t sit still. What monsters are coming out of nowhere?

Freelian and Melina, who were just chatting, looked at each other and both felt the big commotion.

What the hell?

The former was eager to try and release his magic sense to track down quickly, while the latter felt exhausted from the endless troubles.

Could it be that the faded have a certain physique that attracts trouble? In just over a month, I've experienced more events than in a thousand years. The saying "life is lived in depth, not length" is truly true.

They quickly ran towards the location where the loud noise came from.

At the same time, the alarm bell sounded. The entire city of Stonewell knew that there was some kind of monster underground. It was not unfamiliar to some veterans, so they quickly evacuated.
