Frillian in the Elden Ring

I've heard a lot of nonsense like this, but I can make some guesses based on my experience.

Restoring the magic ring alone could be a common ending, or an ending where the truth is not known under layers of cover-up, such as Marika's seemingly response to the ring-smashing behavior. There is much to explore.

Grandma Enya sighed as she watched Fulilian leave the audience hall. She looked deeply at the two fingers in front of her, which looked a little more listless than before.

Even though he was one of the highest divine beings, he could not escape the traces of time, or no one could make him glow with magic. But after feeling the Great Rune, he finally became active.

There is salvation in the future.

Although the two had just been discussing the possibility of the mastermind, she actually only had sporadic thoughts:

It is said that before Marika became a god, there was a continent at the border, but it was separated and hidden for some special reason... She is not even sure whether it is true or not, but she always feels that she must figure out the past to know the future.

Don't be too thorough in your words. The Faded One will notice it with his insight. Don't use specious information to influence Fleuryllian.

When I arrived at the next room, I saw an old acquaintance standing at the door.

Nepheli greeted her with a smile and patted Fulilian on the shoulder.

"Why are you still so skinny even after getting the Great Rune? You can use the runes to strengthen your body. You could even become as strong as General Latarn, the Starbreaker. You're all battle mages."

"Then forget it."

She had seen the portraits of the demigods before. Although Latarn was majestic, the look of his huge body riding a skinny horse was indeed inconvenient and a bit awkward.

"By the way, I'm here to give a report to my adoptive father, so I'd like to introduce you."

"What kind of person is Lord Ovniel?"

"He unified the various parties at a time when the Round Table was short of talent and has maintained it to this day. He also knows many secrets of the borderlands and possesses profound magical proficiency. By the way, when you chat with him later, don't mind his air of being indifferent and unfinished. He's always busy processing intelligence, and he's like that with everyone he talks to. But if you have something of high value, it's entirely possible that it will be appreciated..."

Halfway through the conversation, Nepheli began to introduce Sir Baizhi's various great achievements with admiration, mixed with a lot of personal subjective opinions, and believed that this elder of the Round Table was very kind.

Although Fulilian thought she was judging others by her own standards, she did know more information and had a simple expectation. After all, not many people had actually seen Ofnir.

"Let's go in."

After chatting for a while, Nefeli pushed the door open and walked in. It turned out to be a man in full armor working at a desk.

The vertical opening on the helmet revealed a sharp gaze, which passed over his goddaughter and carefully examined the other person.

As a fellow magician, he immediately understood the opponent's magical reaction was extraordinary. Even more outrageous was that he had remained restrained and concealed even at this point. Who were you kidding? In a real fight, Kong would probably be more experienced than anyone else, so Greg's defeat was well deserved.

"I've heard a lot about you. Congratulations on burying the Demon Sword Fulilian and obtaining the Great Rune. This is a feat that no one in the Round Table has achieved in thousands of years."

"I think you are strong enough to obtain two large runes."

"I've grown old and am no longer as good as I used to be. But you've been active for a long time."

The two exchanged a smile, ignoring each other's attempts to conceal their abilities. Since you're willing to withhold your strength for some reason, then keep it that way. The day will come when it's revealed.

Nepheli next to him didn't notice the change in atmosphere at all, and started introducing them one by one very straightforwardly.

Yeah.

It is always better to have someone familiar to act as a matchmaker than to have them chat with each other in an intriguing manner. It is better to communicate more when meeting for the first time. Otherwise, are the magicians going to play charades together?

Fulilian also shared the battle process.

Even if one audience member participates in person and another audience member knows the details of the process, it will not affect their concentration.

The person's own experience must be different. As Frillian said, that kind of corrosive abyss can be overcome with just a strong will, but if it were someone else, they would have been captured long ago. It is hard to imagine what kind of trials she has experienced.

It seems that defeating Greg is easy and not challenging at all.

It is true that many rumors say he is the weakest demigod, but he is not someone who can be easily fooled. Otherwise, he would not have been able to occupy the fragments of the magic ring for so many years. He has real value.

The new king is very strong.

"...To be honest, I've seen the Abyss Trials before. I suspect there are other anomalies at the border. Be careful."

After hearing this, Lord Baizhi nodded and said, "I noticed that as well. Just keep an eye on it. On the contrary, it must have been quite difficult for you to eliminate Greg in that state. You are a true first-generation demigod."

"That's not the point. Now I want information about Gallid."

"I understand you want the Great Rune of Latarn? You're pretty quick, for a newcomer."

"Sooner or later, we will collect all the Great Runes."

Fulilian said seriously, "The battle festival is a minor matter. The key lies in the information about the Scarlet Corruption. I heard that you have mastered the relevant magic. Can you make a deal with me?"

“It’s not cheap.”

"I know, we can benefit each other. What if I exchange soul magic?"

Sir Baizhi, who was planning to raise the price and beat around the bush, fell silent. He had been hearing so much about soul healing recently that he was completely baffled. Why was it possible?

A genius like the Full Moon Queen can create life but is stuck at the soul stage. Why can a mere newcomer, the Fader, do it?

After meeting Fulilian, he had to believe that this person was a very powerful magician with a knowledge system completely different from that of the borderland. Perhaps he could break out of the fixed thinking pattern and delve into new truths. No magician would refuse.

But he still subconsciously bargained: "From what I understand, you're already imparting your experience for free. Is that knowledge good enough for trading?"

"I welcome you to learn, and this is not knowledge that is only suitable for low-intelligence mages."

"make a deal."

Even Ofnir couldn't help himself when Fulilian talked about the intellectual attribute.

One shouldn't question a magician's basic qualities. The deal is feasible, after all. What can a crimson corrupted prayer do to her? It doesn't matter.

"I will teach you the most powerful magic of Scarlet Corruption, the Valkyrie's move: Scarlet Ionia."

Chapter 75: Did you hook up with the Fire King?

Upon hearing this, Fulilian raised her eyebrows, wondering if Ofnir's mention of the Valkyrie's moves was an advertisement or a secret hint?

Sir Baizhi suddenly spoke up, "Over the years, many Faded Ones have traveled far and wide, and some have even come close to meeting the Circle of Magic...so I do know some information."

She glanced at the relevant advice on the ground. Logically speaking, the early Sir Baizhi had at most studied the Scarlet Corruption, but it was not necessarily known that it would bloom. Could it be that there was an inconsistency in the intelligence?

After much deliberation, Fulilian decided to move forward with the transaction...

"Speaking of which, you call yourself the Fire King. Coincidentally, some related people have arrived from outside the border area recently."

"Any information?"

"I don't know much either, I just know they are scattered all over the world."

Hearing this, the silver-haired girl looked at the other person sharply. The latter's expression remained unchanged. She didn't believe that he knew nothing about it. It was even possible that he had established a connection, so some player intelligence was missed.

The two of them spontaneously put aside their differences and chatted politely while writing and exchanging ideas with each other.

The topic of magic was lost on the berserker Nepheli, so she said goodbye and left the room. As soon as she left, she was surrounded by people, curiously asking about the two people inside and whether they were arguing.

He is a mage after all.

There are countless cases of fights at the border due to different schools of thought. For example, the people from the magic academy fought each other until their brains were turned into dog brains, but they still didn't stop and it went on and on.

As two of the world's most elite magicians, they were likely to clash and part ways amicably. There's no room for two tigers in one mountain, and compared to the hidden rivalries between the Faded, magical exchanges were likely to lead to conflict.

"...Everyone, don't worry, they are having a pleasant chat and trading magic."

Roger's eyes suddenly lit up: "What?"

"It was Fulilian who proposed exchanging soul magic for the Scarlet Corruption magic. This shouldn't be a secret."

"I guess she's more concerned about managing the ecological problems in Galid than General Latarn's Great Rune. Otherwise, sooner or later, the pollution will cross the Fire Wall and erode Nimgefu."

"Hopefully."

Even Neferiqie, who is so brave, shudders when talking about the spread of scarlet corruption. It must be stopped at all costs, otherwise there will be a great loss of life.

As mentioned earlier, even the battle festival is not that important.

"In my opinion, Fulilian's true ability lies in her ability to analyze magic and invent, while Sir Baizhi is known for his wide range of magic. A powerful combination would surely be formidable."

Roger's comments reassured everyone a little, and it should work.

Excluding the unconscious Latarn and Lenarra, the two strongest magicians in their full state are undoubtedly Fulilian and Ofnir. One excels at analyzing inventions, the other is a veritable encyclopedia, making them the best possible combination. As both Faded Ones, and both recognized as Heroes of the Round Table, they should be able to achieve extraordinary results.

Or no one can handle it except them.

With this thought in mind, the group continued to prepare for the welcome party. The round table hall, which had been dull for a long time, finally showed some vitality.

Even Fia, who lived a secluded life, and Xiugu, who never left the forging table, noticed the changes.

rare.

It seemed that the emergence of the new Fragment King represented a huge boost in morale, and Fulilian welcomed her colleagues' policy that the Round Table's actions in Nimgfu would be unimpeded, so they were returning the favor.

However, the two researchers in the room were somewhat unhappy because it was too noisy.

Having said that, it did not affect the rapid exchange of basic magic experience and principles between each other. For a top-notch magician, it was already the core of the exclusive secret recipe.

"I've already explained the basics of soul magic, but some of it doesn't conform to the logic of the borderland. Feel free to ask..."

"Don't worry, sir."

Facing Fulilian's good teacher performance, Lord Baizhi solemnly put away the documents and said sincerely:

"The path of magic research is filled with ancient, lost, and exotic artifacts, no less than those found outside the borderlands. Solving puzzles is part of the fun. If I can't learn it, it's because I'm not talented enough, not you. It's just the way it is."

"I believe that more powerful magic can be universally adapted."

"Let's put aside our differing philosophies for now. I'm going to explain. The so-called Crimson Corruption magic is a system typified by the Ionian Flower. It can continuously contaminate a target, causing it to weaken..."

Since the deal was made, Ornith was not vague and explained the principles in detail to ensure that it was simple and easy to understand.

At the same time, he took out a thick stack of research materials.

It includes years of research on the ecology of the Gaileyd region, covering a very long period of time and being very detailed, making it a guide map.

Sir Baizhi wouldn't even show it to ordinary people, not because of confidentiality, but because fools wouldn't understand and wouldn't understand what he was doing. But Fulilian was different, she could spot its specialness at a glance.

The silver-haired girl looked at several data files with her eyes flashing, and at the same time she stretched out her hand.

Bloom!

A flower bud slowly floated out from the palm of his hand, its golden red color full of temptation. A strange sense of corrosion came over him. Fortunately, this place was also equipped with the defense of a magic workshop, otherwise it would be very dangerous. Only the owner, who was skilled and bold, was still sitting steadily, admiring this scene in shock.

At the same time, a prompt related to the player's perspective appeared in Fulilian's mind:

[Marlenya's moves as the Goddess of Corruption]

[Can bloom large flowers and trigger scarlet corruption]

[Every time the scarlet flower blooms, Marenia will become more corrupted]

[Now that flower has bloomed twice──]

[And the third time, she will definitely transform into a goddess]

It turns out Sir Baizhi wasn't bluffing at all; this ability truly belonged to a demigod, or even a god. How did he acquire it? Could it be due to some changes caused by his arrival at the borderland, changes that prompted him to head towards the Valkyrie's location?

There's no point asking.

She turned to carefully manipulate the Scarlet Corruption. Since she was unskilled and did not dare to infuse too much magic power, she stopped there and decided not to experiment in the Round Table Hall.

"It's a pity that I can't bloom for the time being."

"That's pretty good. Honestly, I'm surprised. Even talented magicians often take three to five years to blossom... Of course, that's assuming he dies from the erosion before then."

"Wait, so the Crimson Corruption has a cost of its own?"

"Yes, I've had someone experiment with it, and the cost is much lower for someone like us who can fully control it."

"But it seems to be related to the goddess of corruption. The more it blooms, the closer it becomes to that deity."

"Don't worry. The divine being Marennia has always been watched by the Scarlet God of Corruption, and so many of her followers are devoted to her. Therefore, her blossoming is a response to the deity, and thus a sign of her turning towards Him. From the perspective of mortals, this means greater power, but also a greater cost."

No wonder.

Sir Baizhi would avoid things that were too risky. Being willing to make a deal meant that it was still controllable, so he was very generous to Fulilian.

So without the gaze of the gods, the power will be much less?

Then the blossoming displayed by Valkyrie Marennia in her fierce battle with Star-Breaking General Latarn is different. The abilities learned by the later comers are different from the things that pollute Gally!

Fulilian looked disappointed.

"Don't worry. I know you want to solve the pollution in Galid. It's worth studying, and so do I. Whether it's a magician's prayer or a divine one's prayer, the basic principles are not much different. I'm sure it will inspire us to find the ultimate solution."

"But I can tell you one thing directly: the answers are likely to be unavailable at the border, so knowledge beyond that is required."
