Frillian in the Elden Ring

Wayne was happy at the thought of the enemy being helpless.

"It's time to teach them a lesson about human power. The demon tribe is now depleted of manpower, so we should advance to recapture the fortress and strengthen this line of defense."

The idea was recognized by many consultants, and everyone brainstormed together:

"According to the current situation, the Central Plains can be defended, but not with just one fortress. We must recapture the lost territory and consolidate it to keep the demons out."

"There's no need to fortify the forest area. With the elves here, there's no need to worry about the demon army attacking from that direction. I suggest concentrating our forces on the front, using the chain of fortresses as a springboard to rescue several important towns in the occupied areas..."

"I agree."

The meeting went very smoothly.

Under normal circumstances, Wayne would probably have argued for a long time, but now everyone supported him in seizing the opportunity to counterattack.

However, some people expressed that it was a pity that they could not accomplish the goal in one go.

Out of caution, he warned, "Actually, the counterattack is only temporary. The war between humans and demons will drag on for years. Perhaps neither our generation nor the next will witness victory. What matters is the struggle itself. Everything we do is meaningful. At the very least, it inspires those who come after us."

"Just like how we waited for Lady Fulilian's help, persistence will inspire people. I believe humanity will ultimately triumph. The goal is there, and it doesn't need you or me to witness it."

The officers in the conference room nodded deeply.

……

In the demon-occupied area, in the frontline command room, Shulahat, who was in the main seat, exuded an aura of pressure, and the surrounding demons were silent.

"I warned you before to evacuate from the area surrounding the Elf Village as soon as possible, but you were so obsessed with killing that you missed the opportunity to fight."

"I'm sorry, sir, the news spread too slowly and the front line couldn't react in time."

"It's too late to say anything now. The damage already done is irreversible. We all know that the elf extermination plan has failed. As long as Fulilian is still alive, it will be impossible to achieve it. She is different from the powerful elves active today. She is full of passion and nostalgia for her homeland. She is the type to protect everything in front of her. If you want to conquer the elf village, you must be her."

Actually, they are somewhat similar.

In fact, Fulilian and Shulahat are both emotionally indifferent people of their own race, but they are willing to do their best. Unfortunately, they have to fight each other and have already fought each other once.

He predicted the impending defeat at North Wind Fortress, but was unable to predict the specific form.

So he had to order a quick withdrawal, and he also had a contempt in his heart, "What kind of magic can defeat the main force in just a few minutes?" But he was wrong, the entire army was wiped out.

This extremely high killing efficiency broke the prediction.

When the scarlet flowers bloom, no demon can stand unscathed. A new unbreakable curse appears, and the master is even more invulnerable. Because according to intelligence, Fulilian's warrior skills are also extraordinary, and she is an offensive powerhouse with no weaknesses.

It's difficult.

Fortunately, Fulilian does not have any strong desire to fight, so it is probably time for her to return to the elf village and stay out of worldly affairs.

Otherwise, her participation in the frontal battlefield would greatly increase the pressure on the entire demon clan.

Shulahat said quietly, "We must repair the battle line now and proactively withdraw from the frontline fortresses to ensure we don't lose too much manpower."

"Also, keep an eye on the magical city where Celie resides, the area surrounding the Forgotten Royal City. There's a chance the two sides might come into contact. She enjoys magic she doesn't understand, so she should be very interested."

"As you command, Lord All-Knowing."

In fact, surveillance can't change anything. Can it prevent two world-class masters from meeting? At most, it can only provide some information about the situation.

In a sense, if strong men of this level do not fight head-on to decide the outcome, they can be regarded as the strongest. Every action they take can cause sudden changes in the situation.

"Then how do we report to His Majesty the failure of the elf slaughter? Do we need to send the Seven Collapse Sages?"

"I'll report it, and no more troops can be sent."

"what?"

"An order is an order. Give up on conquering the elf village. We must be fully prepared to deal with a battle mage of Fulilian's level. Even if we win, the demons will be severely damaged. There is no need to proactively provoke the inactive elves."

Having said that, Shulahart still had a bad feeling: he was afraid that Fulilian's acceptance of him as a disciple would change something.

The more distant and accurate future is currently unknown, after all, the magic effect is relatively random, but he still judges that the war situation depends on humans.

It is the strong men of humanity who ultimately threaten the demons.

Therefore, the main focus should not be wavered. Maintain a suppressive posture towards the central part of the continent, and ignore the remaining sporadic resistance. As for the elves, we can only turn a blind eye and formulate a strategy when they become active.

As an omniscient being, I have the confidence to control the development of the situation, which is currently within an acceptable range.

"Hurry up and move! It will be too late to evacuate after the humans counterattack."

"clear."

"Wait a minute, do you know the name of Fulilian's apprentice?"

Shulahat asked as if he had suddenly remembered something from a dream, but received a disappointing answer:

"No one is paying attention to this. It's just a little girl who probably found a test subject on a whim."

……

Magic city, around the ancient abandoned royal city.

In the stone hall, Celia sat cross-legged, lazily reading the magic book in front of her, while in her other hand she held a sealed reagent bottle, which contained a hint of scarlet magic.

She completely ignored the awestruck nobles at the foot of the stairs, who nonetheless reported:

"These are the only samples we can obtain at North Wind Fortress, along with some soil that has been affected and turned red... Sorry, we don't know if it's dangerous, so we sealed it and may have destroyed its original properties."

"So you are the waste."

"Feel sorry."

Faced with Celie's merciless criticism, the nobles lowered their heads and trembled in fear.

Currently, he is able to survive in the war-torn north thanks to the workshop that happens to be next to the magician of the Age of Gods. Fortunately, he has been protected. If he angers the other party, the consequences will be unpredictable.

What's more, this elf never really expressed any protection from the beginning to the end. She was just going with the flow. She had to rely on them to take the initiative to show their courtesy. Otherwise, she would not even blink an eye if these people were wiped out by the demons.

Among the powerful elves, the passive ones make up the majority. It is rare for them to be willing to communicate with humans for a long time, not to mention those who can fight.

Over the years, Celie has indeed dealt with demons that were bold enough to attack, but you can't rely on her to attack.

In comparison, Fulilian may be more positive.

"I heard that there was also a soul magic attack that could ignore defense at the scene. Do you have more detailed information?"

"I don't know. Perhaps only her apprentice knows."

Many people have studied the Battle of North Wind Fortress, but often gained nothing and could not penetrate Fulilian's profound magical realm. Perhaps in the future, they will have to rely on the true disciple Volame to solve the mystery. Of course, now everyone is confused and can only regard it as a miracle of magic in the past.

Ancient technology?

Most people suspected that it was a strange magic system left over from ancient times. After all, after studying it for a while, they found that it was inconsistent with the existing magic system.

"This is a completely new school of magic. The creator laid the groundwork from the most basic logic."

Celie murmured, "Only through long-term inheritance and deep cultivation day after day, year after year can this be achieved."

"It's normal that you don't understand. It's not difficult to understand. Just let Fulilian teach you."

"For many lost technologies, the creators must tell you the tricks. Otherwise, if later generations try to restore them, the result will most likely be something else."

Maybe I should try to take in a disciple as well?

Celie, lost in thought, finally sighed and waved her hand.

"You're of no use anyway, so go back. If you have a chance, please give my regards to Fulilian and exchange magic with her. But there's no rush. As long as an elf is alive, they will meet another elf sooner or later."

"As ordered."

The nobles did not dare to linger any longer to disturb him. It was pointless to be polite, and showing unnecessary courtesy would only cause unpleasantness. It would be better to cooperate with the magician of the Age of Gods as much as possible.

In today's era, the most important thing is a strong person who can protect one side and provide stability, just like the Battle of North Wind Fortress that just happened.

The battle report from the front line showed that the demons were already retreating and taking a detour. Fulilian, who became famous in one battle, also relieved the threat to the elf village and the central plains. The severely damaged demons had to return to defend.

After the group left, Celia solemnly and completely destroyed the reagent bottle.

For safety reasons, it should be completely erased. After all, it has lost its sample value and is too dangerous.

"It's truly evil magic, existing only for war."

A cruel smile appeared on her lips. "What kind of person would the inventor be?"

……

On the outskirts of the Elf Village Forest.

The remains of the previous small-scale battlefield were cleaned up by the defending troops who arrived after hearing the news, and the cemetery was also properly placed. Some family members still hope that the remains will be returned to their hometown, so there are still some soldiers busy here.

At the entrance of the forest, Fulilian used the "magic of accelerated plant growth" to repair the burned area with all her strength.

She didn't want her people to be disturbed again, so she tried her best to make the forest more lush and strong, preventing ordinary wildfires from spreading, and making them more isolated from the outside world than before. Since it was impossible to expect the elves to go out more, it was better to take care of their home.

On the other side, Volame was practicing his magic sword.

The staff generated a blue blade of light, which became sharper and sharper as the girl continued to swing it. It was a simple and effective way to enhance both physical attributes and magical skills.

"Teacher Fulilian, do I really have the talent to become a battle mage who excels in both physical and magical abilities?"

"Don't worry, as long as your physique is up to par, I have a way to rapidly increase your magic power."

"Is this fair?"

"Don't even think about it. The gaps between immortals and short-lived species, demons and humans, geniuses and mediocre people are even more unfair and cannot be bridged. It is only fair that I allow my students to grow up quickly."

Upon hearing this, Volame nodded and swung her sword even harder. She could concentrate and persist even in the most boring basic skills.

In fact, they walked very slowly on the way back to the forest from North Wind Fortress, because Fulilian really had a travel style and would stop to observe everything she saw along the way.

As a result, there was more shopping luggage.

Until today, the master and disciple finally arrived at the edge of the forest and repaired the place.

"All right."

The silver-haired girl stopped her magic and instructed, "I'll take you inside. Take a close look around. There are a lot of basic magic spells that might inspire you."

She took Volame's hand and walked into the forest, disappearing in the blink of an eye without leaving even a footprint.

The soldiers who were cleaning up the battlefield looked at each other and finally continued to work. Don't disturb her easily. It's good news that she can be in the elf village.

Wow!

A gust of wind blew towards him, and he couldn't help rubbing his eyes. He found that the dense jungle had changed into an open area, with ancient trees standing tall and some colorful mushrooms on the roots were taller than people.

How long did it take them to grow to their current size?

Moreover, she observed carefully and found that she could not distinguish the clear direction, and a deep-hidden illusion was interfering.

"As you can see, I used minimal illusion to alter the sense of direction, and added some fog to obscure the way, making it easier for intruders to get lost. The technique is actually very basic, mainly to buy time for defense. A chase took place here not long ago."

"It's precisely because of the foundation that it's harder to detect and erase, right? Sensei seems adept at using a variety of common magic to create complex effects. Is that okay?"

“As long as you know enough.”

"But I heard that a person can't master multiple high-level magics in his lifetime..."

Volame had seen many so-called great human magicians who were very active on the front lines of the battlefield. Unfortunately, each of them had their own shortcomings and were far from being as easy and flexible as their teacher.

"I believe in your talent and my teaching ability. Once we get to the Elf Village, I will help you improve quickly."

Before she finished speaking, Fulilian waved her hand, and the mist dissipated, revealing a broad road.

~~~~~

Chapter 89: The future genius wizard.

Spectacular!

When Fulilian waved her hand to disperse the mist, Volame saw huge trees stretching out in a row in front of him.

It is more vast than I imagined. Without the miasma, the fog allows the full picture of the forest to be revealed. The lush green connects to the horizon, the fragrance of flowers is in the air, and away from the hustle and bustle of the city, there is a hint of birdsong.

Apart from some traces of explosions, there is no battlefield atmosphere.

When I was a child, my family's descriptions of the forest were nothing more than wolves and monsters, so they didn't dare run around. But today, I see it is full of magnificence.

At this moment, Volame was carrying his luggage and dressed in travel clothes. He never expected that his first trip with people other than his family would be to this mysterious forest.

"This place can actually be covered with magic? How much magic power did you use, teacher?"

"a lot of."
