Frillian in the Elden Ring

While he was thinking, some people greeted Volame.

One of the officers was a familiar face, and she responded with a smile. In a sense, she became famous.

In the past, people might only remember the name of a true disciple at most, but after three days of absence, people would look at him with new eyes. Although Volame was not skilled in hiding his magic power, his aura was no less sensitive, comparable to that of an ordinary magician.

So fast?

What kind of training did he go through to make the leap from an apprentice?

As expected, a good teacher produces good students. No matter what, this magic is real. I believe she will become one of the mainstays in the future.

She felt pressured by the expectant gazes.

Could it be that I was actually progressing very quickly? It was a pity that I had no magic apprentices of the same age to compare myself to. There were some young people in the elf village, but they were useless as a reference. I couldn't measure my progress by the rate of progress of the immortals; that would be too unfair.

Volame didn't think much about it. After visiting his family as usual, he went to see the owner of the magic shop. Seeing the little customer coming to his door, he immediately smiled happily.

"I guess the experiment broke?"

"really."

"Don't look like you've gotten into trouble. This is perfectly normal on the path of magic."

He took the gold that Volame offered him. "And the God Age Magician is very generous, isn't he?"

In fact, most of them were spoils from Fulilian's hunting of demons. She didn't collect them deliberately, so she didn't have much savings. It was definitely not the kind of wealth that everyone imagined she had that she couldn't spend.

It is precisely because the apprentice understands the real financial situation that he is worried. He cannot afford to spend more than he earns.

Actually, with the teacher's skills, making money is easy. Just selling a few magic books will do. But think about it carefully. What is she researching? Soul transformation, corruption, erosion, curse attack. There is basically no good one, and most of them are unfinished. It is too dangerous to sell them out.

"I'll have a lot of money to spend in the future, and I want to make some money. Does anyone have any recommendations?"

"That's pretty sensible. Then all you have to do is hunt monsters."

"There aren't any threats left in the forest. There are only some basic materials. They shouldn't be worth much."

"Then you can brew magical items like potions. As long as the quality is good, they can sell for a lot of money. Alternatively, you can take on commissions regularly to build up your reputation. Big business will naturally come your way."

"for example?"

“No one knows what opportunity is until it comes.”

After thinking it over, Volame always felt that the last suggestion for the commission was not very reliable, but the boss, who was good at judging people, immediately recognized the concern.

This child is very intelligent. At least he knows how to be vigilant and won't be fooled.

If she really acted silly, she wouldn't recommend the commission, lest she step into a trap and get into trouble. Wouldn't that offend Fulilian behind the scenes? That would be even more terrifying.

He coughed and said seriously:

"You have a stereotype, but it's true. There are too many mixed breeds among the commissions. But even a magician from the Age of Gods can't teach you that. If I'm not mistaken, she's not the kind of elf who travels often. Is she actually lacking in experience?"

"Ah."

And there is one thing that Volame wants to keep secret: from now on, Fulilian will sleep more often, and obviously she will pay more attention to the magic of dreaming and practicing as the elves say.

"Even if I don't mention it, a good teacher will eventually send you out for training, just like the nobles' magic apprentices. In that case, why not start with small commissions around your hometown? Just promise me I'll keep an eye out for you."

"Okay, I'll take over the work on the potions and ingredients. As for the battle, we'll have to wait."

"Of course. I estimate it will take at least 10 years for you to reach the level of being able to fight on the battlefield."

The two hit it off and reached an agreement, and the transaction was successful.

……

The magic workshop in the Elf Village kept rumbling, shaking the ground and giving people a bumpy feeling, but the elves were no longer surprised and were still busy passing the time.

At this moment, Frillian was trying to restore Azalt's blasting magic, which worked well when combined with what she already knew. It was used to deal with treasure chest monsters before, and perhaps it could be used on a larger scale now.

"It's just a way to destroy the scene. Pure explosions won't be very useful against the strong ones in the border area."

Strengthened by runes, their skin is more than just tough. Ordinary swords, spears, halberds, fire attacks, and water flooding are significantly weakened, comparable to the tempered flesh of real-life warriors. If you're targeting demigods, you need to raise the bar even higher, as they often possess both magic and combat prowess. While their basic configuration is sufficient, the difference lies in how they can be utilized to their full potential.

Currently, the most useful weapon for traveling from reality to the border area is the Thunder of Destruction.

It would be great if I could learn the Ancient Dragon Lightning Strike one day. I wonder how powerful it would be if the two of them were combined with the Lightning Return technique.

That's all.

In reality, many strong judgment concept magics are useless, such as cleaning utensils, making books emit fragrance, etc., which seem simple but have no effect because they involve rules.

Fulilian believes that it is better to continue to use the power within the game to deal with the game.

"My magic research has reached a bottleneck, and soul research is the most important. It's related to my restoration of the borderland, my teaching of Volame, and the possibility of giving Melina a body... I should go to the magic academy first."

"Before that, we must quickly take care of Nimgefu's cave..."

She had a clear idea of the general plan, and knew how to prioritize things. At worst, they could just attack Lienia of the Lake, with Gailey pushing a little, and they could attack together.

Yeah.

After all, the Ionian Flower, which becomes more and more convenient to use, requires more research samples. Going to the ruins of the battlefield is the first choice. There are a lot of things to do, and I will be busy after a short rest.

The silver-haired girl stretched and began to tidy up the various materials on the table. At the same time, Millie Adele pushed the door open and walked in.

"I accidentally broke a barrier during training just now. Do you have any replacement materials?"

"Wait a minute, Volame will go buy it."

She is getting more and more used to the convenience of having an assistant. It is so relaxing. No wonder so many mages in real life like to take in apprentices. Is it to be their laborer?

However, I did teach Volame real skills. Except for the dangerous parts, I basically taught him everything I knew. As long as he mastered it, the growth rate of the short-lived species would definitely give the demons a headache.

"By the way, are you planning on sleeping for a few years?"

"No, I wake up often, but the activity time may not be as long as this time."

"That's good."

"Is there something wrong with you?"

"I simply feel insecure without you around."

Millie Adele said worriedly, "I don't think the demons will give up easily. They might send the Seven Collapse Sages."

Hearing this, Fulilian nodded. "That's a possibility, but don't worry. If it does happen, I'll handle it. It's better to say that I fell asleep in order to gain more means and find a more reliable way to deal with the unbreakable curse."

If one can further perfect the soul magic, one can even actively exert a trace of the power of the primordial fire, which is enough to protect the body.

……

Half a month passed by in a flash.

In Fulilian's concept, the "later" in "later sleep for a long time" is of course the elf standard.

If the village is a small world with a slow sense of time, then the border area is a place where everyone lives for eternity and has a slow pace. There is no rush. The magic ring has been broken for a long time and can withstand the wait. No one even feels that they are in a hurry.

In this case, she will focus on real things first:

Volame's teaching went very smoothly, and he understood almost everything immediately. Especially after his soul was strengthened, his physical strength improved rapidly, and he could accommodate stronger soul magic.

This child's talent is at the level where a goddess would give him the favor, and with the blessing of the magic ring, he can be said to be at the top of both worlds. It's hard for him not to be strong.

However, Fulilian believes that her style tends to be more practical and should be practiced more.

Training Course.

After several expansions and renovations, it was now the size of a village. The ground was paved with bedrock, and a powerful defensive barrier was installed around it to attenuate the aftermath. Furthermore, some monsters were captured and imprisoned, ready for use in experiments or as sparring partners.

In order to collect sandbags for her true disciples, she ran all over the forest and captured most of the monsters.

During this period, the monster world was in chaos. The flying silver-haired girl captured monsters one after another, even the regional overlords were no exception.

Nowadays, the training ground has become a place where many elves gather. After all, once they have decided to become stronger, they cannot afford to neglect it. The building similar to the Colosseum under their feet is the most active place in the Elf Village.

Fulilian came to the center first.

She held the most basic entry-level staff in one hand to avoid using too much force, and in the other hand she held a wooden sword wrapped in cloth.

"It's time to verify your basic combat skills. Once you pass, you'll begin the next stage of systematic magic instruction. Volame, remember to call out if you're seriously injured."

"learn."

"It's a good thing you can wear something so heavy. The stronger the defense, the better, as long as it doesn't affect your movements."

The red-haired girl in front of him was wearing a breastplate that fit her petite, undeveloped body. Her arms and calves also had varying degrees of armor. She looked like a lightly armed warrior, yet she held a staff that was full of magical reactions.

In order to maximize the fault tolerance rate, of course you have to wear armor.

Her magical reaction is already comparable to that of a most basic human magician, surpassing the apprentice level and being qualified to participate in the battle as an auxiliary.

But who would have thought that Volame knew martial arts?

The next moment, Fulilian launched a magical attack. It wasn't even magic, but simply squandering magic power like a cannon to create a physical impact. It was both relatively safe and enough to train the opponent. But then the red-haired girl activated her patience, coupled with a defensive barrier.

In actual combat, fragile mages can be easily interrupted and lose the rhythm of the battle, so it is better to just take the attack and then fight back.

"How can there be a magician as tough as you? What's the relationship between you, the master and the disciple?"

Millie Adele, who was watching the fight from a distance, raised her eyebrows. She had been unable to contain herself with these two people, and they were getting more and more outrageous.

Whoops!

The tracking soul crystal block from Volame concealed her figure, and at the same time, a dark mass enveloped her, forcing Fulilian to use the same defensive barrier to resist.

But it can only delay it, and most of the time you have to rely on dodging.

Who told her to teach special magic that could penetrate defenses? Training was exhausting. There were dozens of ways to deal with it, but most of them required abandoning interaction and turning it into a "you fight yours, I fight mine" kind of thing. What was the point of training then?

It takes a lot of back-and-forth fighting to cultivate a powerful magician.

Suddenly, a long sword shot out from the smoke and dust, heading straight for her face, but Fulilian dodged it by turning her head.

Volame was still unwilling to give up, and took advantage of the victory to launch a few more moves. His blade was as fast as lightning, and at the same time he cooperated with the crystal blocks to launch a violent attack.

"Not bad, enough for medium distance."

Hearing the praise, she didn't dare to relax at all, because it meant the teacher was going to test her performance in the next stage. As expected, Fulilian used a flying magic to increase the distance and looked down at her from above.

It is obvious that he is learning magic from the demons, but he is becoming more and more proficient in it. I am afraid that in a few days he will be able to write it down into notes and spread it, but he himself still can't do it.

"Be careful."

Countless beams of light shot out from the silver-haired girl, sweeping across the training ground, interweaving like a spider web, impenetrable.

Faced with such powerful firepower, Volame was unable to dodge and flew backwards to the ground, but the next moment she gritted her teeth and climbed up, barely blocking it with a defensive barrier. She subconsciously touched her armor and found a large dent.

Fortunately, it was a pure magical impact, which seemed to be very powerful but was actually very effective.

A contest of mobility was not feasible, so she chose to hold her ground, leaving as few openings as possible, carefully observing the openings in Fulilian's attacks before launching a long-range crystal block sniper attack, so fast that even Fulilian had to activate a defensive barrier and dodge.

A major advantage of soul magic attack is its armor-piercing mechanism. The opponent can't just rely on the barrier to deal with it and stand still. You must also dodge, which will definitely slow down the offensive.

Even a beginner like Volame found a chance to catch his breath and then launched a large-scale counterattack.

Rumbling--

The magic powers of the master and disciple collided in the air, interweaving like raindrops, annihilating the light rain from bottom to top and from top to bottom one by one.

The speed was too fast, and this kind of collision almost relied on the subconscious reaction of the caster, but they were amazingly synchronized, which showed the sensitivity of their reflex nerves.

At the same time, the two continued to move and bomb.

Both its mobility and firepower intensity were astonishing. The surrounding elves were stunned, knowing full well that it had left them far behind. Perhaps only a few people could match the current Volame.

She was clearly practicing under everyone's watch, yet she made rapid progress.

"So this is what Fulilian meant when she said the age of humanity is coming..."

No matter how thick-skinned Millie Adele was, she realized that a powerful magician was destined to rise, and that she was not one of the current mainstream self-taught or incomplete knowledge system. She received a systematic and comprehensive education, and her teacher, Fleury, did not rote her but instilled a set of research logic.

Volame will flourish. The combination of his own talent and the guidance of his teacher will probably produce revolutionary results. Of course, the premise is that he grows up safely.

It's still not cooked enough.

As expected, Volame's next move suddenly misfired and came to an abrupt end. With her magic power exhausted, she lay straight down without any strength left.

The high-intensity confrontation lasted, but the biggest weakness of her magic power was exposed. In comparison, Frillian, who used her magic power in the most wasteful way throughout the whole process, recovered in just one breath, and her magic column remained unchanged.

She slowly landed and walked in front of the red-haired girl.

"It's already very impressive. Magical power can only be improved with time. Don't regret it."

"No, I'm very happy. I feel like I've seen the teacher's back. That kind of power is not out of reach."

"Fool, this is just a beginner's illusion. One day you will realize how profound my power truly is, and then you will return to the state of feeling within reach."
