Frillian in the Elden Ring

You will then add permanent equipment.

Lake Lienia is really good, indeed richer than Nimgfu. I actually picked up such important equipment on the roadside and almost missed it.

She quickly began to look for suitable targets, and simply rode Torrett while getting familiar with the route.

Rumble.

The continuous sound of magical bombardments extended to the northernmost part of the lake, and soon the smoke and dust reached the ruins on the edge, and then the magic output finally stopped.

Melina took the initiative to introduce: "That was once one of the battlefields where the Azalea Knight and the Kalia Knight fought. Further ahead is the fortress. We are almost there. Keep an eye out for the magic traps over there."

"Hasn't the war been over for many years?"

"Yes, but the more powerful something is, the longer it will last. Moreover, the nobles who support the royal family are still alive. In the minds of many people, it is still an irreplaceable holy place."

Speaking of Cuckoo Knights, Fulilian did kill a few during this period. The average quality of the soldiers was better than that of her subordinates. There was no way. Outside the two places in the south, it felt like high values were everywhere. It was worthy of being a novice village. They still had a long way to go.

While she was thinking, her eyes suddenly caught her eye. There was a pair of eyes watching her from the other side of the ruins?

Who?

103

Chapter 103: Royal Guard Knight Loretta.

Fulilian's magical perception spread instantly, locking onto a mountain goblin wearing a helmet and mask across the ruins.

After noticing this slightly alert perception, he turned his head and continued to hammer on the weapon in his hand, with a string of sparks appearing from time to time.

blacksmith?

The silver-haired girl leaped lightly from the other side of the ruins to the northern part of the lake. Suddenly, the view opened up, a wider area than before. The most conspicuous landmark was the Kalia Fortress, its majestic grandeur undiminished even after the ravages of war.

But there is a powerful magical reaction there...

"Iggy, the blacksmith of Kalia, greets the Fragment King of Nimgefu. What brings you here?"

"I heard that an acquaintance is here."

Fulilian took out the soul-summoning bell.

"Further ahead is the royal residence. After the academy betrayed the royal family, they sent the Cuckoo Knights to set fire to the fortress and even attempted to massacre it. Fortunately, the royal family resisted the enemy, and those magic traps are still effective today."

“The technology is good.”

Even without experiencing it herself, she knew from a magician's eyesight and perception that the magic surrounding Kalia Castle was extremely advanced, enduring, and powerful.

"Your Majesty truly loves magic as the rumors say. Most people would be terrified of such energy fluctuations."

Iggy changed the subject and said, "By the way, I'm a blacksmith after all, and I have quite a few forging stones. Would you like to trade?"

"It couldn't be better. There's always a shortage of forging stones."

Fulilian, who has fought all the way here, naturally has no shortage of runes. The key lies in the opponent's goods, which are indeed good upon closer inspection.

The highest level reached was level 4 forging stone, which was considered rare in the border area.

There is almost no fixed output of them, and the less you use, the less you have. They are hard to come by, so she pocketed all of them with her wealth.

Kalia is really rich.

The entire Lake District has solidified its reputation as a place of wealth and opulence, and it hasn't disappointed me so far. Or perhaps it's because I came from the relatively weaker south that I'm so surprised? I need to travel more.

After completing the transaction, Iggy nodded. "This makes business dealings simple. It's enough to get to know a person. Otherwise, it would be rude to constantly interrogate them."

"So you're using this to get to know me?"

"Your reputation is well-deserved. Your Majesty is the most powerful demigod in the current borderland that is closest to the Elden Circle."

"Oh, I almost forgot to mention that Blaze introduced me here. He once told me about the base north of the lake."

"He told me about you. It's quite unusual for someone who keeps to himself. So Blaze must have noticed something about your majesty. If that's the case, I'll sell you this special amulet as well."

Fulilian bought the rare props without hesitation.

What I got was an oval badge, meticulously carved with various textures and inlaid with gemstones, which added the finishing touch and made it look elegant and luxurious.

【Kalia Badge】

[The amulet with the royal emblem on the shield can reduce the concentration consumed by using combat skills by 25%]

【It is said that among the knights of Kalia in the past】

[Only those who directly serve the princess will be granted this badge]

There is only one princess at present──

[Lena's daughter, Lani]

It's undoubtedly a good thing. For mages, reducing mana consumption is crucial, significantly increasing endurance. Of course, it's not very effective against Fulilian, as she has plenty of mana and can replenish it with potions.

It would be great if a large amount of runes were earned in the future and a universal mod for the amulet was released. I've encountered this in previous games. The combination of multiple effects will guarantee that your damage will explode.

But that was all later. Now, Freelian was more concerned about the description of the [Kalia Badge]. The princess was indeed Lani.

And it seems that it has a long history and represents a kind of honor.

"...Only those who have served the princess can receive this gift?"

"you know!"

It was a long-standing tradition, one even Iggy had nearly forgotten, but then a Fragment King suddenly revealed it. Isn't this embarrassing? It could easily be interpreted as a bizarre conclusion. As one of Lani's trusted subordinates, it was a bit careless to make a mistake.

Fortunately, she did not intend to delve into this topic. She solemnly put away the amulet and looked out at the city wall.

"Thank you very much, Iggy. I have to go to the Walled City. I hope I don't disturb you."

"Are you looking for Lady Lani?"

The blacksmith clenched his hammer and said solemnly, "I hope Your Majesty is a demigod who brings peace and doesn't cause any unnecessary trouble."

"Maybe we'll become allies."

According to previous player advice, the Lani faction was most likely on the same side as the Faded Ones, so Frillian walked towards the stronghold calmly. This upright demeanor made Iggy take a deep breath.

In fact, he still can't see through the other party, and he is unfathomable, but he is not the type who plays tricks, he is very pure.

King Soul Fire possesses a sense of composure, certain that nothing can actually harm him. He fully enjoys everything in the borderland, so he is dignified and full of personal charm. No wonder the southern forces are convinced of him.

Can a rising demigod change the fate of the Kalia royal family?

Boom!

The magic trap of the fortress was suddenly triggered, and magic arrows were released one after another, like raindrops falling, with great momentum.

Just when Iggy was about to give some advice, he saw Freellian take out the jellyfish shield and use an unknown force field magic to deflect the rain of arrows one by one. She easily bathed in the bombardment without getting a single leaf on her body and marched straight in safely.

As expected of the founder of soul magic, her magical attainments are considered top-notch in the border areas. Having reached the demigod level, she will be even more powerful if she masters the Great Rune.

He withdrew his gaze and continued to focus on forging.

"How to handle this fateful reunion? I leave it to you to decide, Your Highness, Lani..."

It was dark when we entered the city.

Seeing this, Fulilian immediately used Starlight, which became more and more convenient. It turned out that the right thing to do was to use the power of the boundary area itself to train the Stargazer account.

However, this photo didn't matter, as it revealed a multitude of strange creatures: a single hand? No, perhaps two hands stacked on top of each other? In short, something like this was crawling on the ground.

Ok?

A restraining magic effect triggered the collapse of resistance. It was cast by a giant finger worm, but it was so unbreakable that I had forgotten how many layers of magic defense I had added.

She hesitated for a moment under attack but decided to attack, even though she was in suspected friendly territory.

The pyroxene devil gravel easily defeated a dozen fingerworms, making an example of them. The monsters froze in fear. Fulilian seized the opportunity and unleashed a wave of pressure, using a mental attack to dispel them.

After these disgusting creatures left, the city finally returned to peace.

She looked down at the crawling tracks left by the monsters and muttered to herself, "It's better not to come at this kind of thing. It's almost as ugly as the curse frog."

The sense of foreignness is too strong.

What is the Kalia royal domain like with such a monster? There are probably still many surprises waiting to be discovered.

Igi, who was guarding the northern gate of Lienia, immediately conveyed the news.

Release the defense.

Apart from some magical products that cannot be shut down, let the Kalia knights, noble soldiers and others restrain themselves and not provoke intruders easily. After all, Fulilian's strength is obvious to all, and there is no need to rashly cause conflict.

Not only does she represent a traveling faded being, but more importantly, she is connected to the fate of Princess Ranee and is a very important demigod today.

The southern part of Stonewell City is indeed a bit weak, but let's think about it from another angle:

Which force now has a demigod and has offensive capabilities?

The royal city of Rodel was certainly one of them, but the rest were either mad or crippled, struggling in their own fiefdoms, and the more they struggled, the more they declined. Meanwhile, Nimgefu and the Weeping Peninsula quickly recovered and prospered, possessing true expansionary power.

Kalia should befriend Stormwind.

As a military advisor, Iji's orders made the garrison in the fortress take the initiative to retreat, so it seemed much quieter.

Fulilian, who was in the middle of it, clearly felt some auras retreating. There was no hostility anymore, and at most they were just on guard against herself. In this case, there was really no need for everyone to fight.

I like to experience the power of magic but I'm not a battle maniac.

Go deeper.

The silver-haired girl strode up the steps of the castle and stood on the former city wall. Looking back, she could see the vast expanse of Lake Lienia. The once-powerful royal family must have looked down upon their territory from this perspective.

According to national standards, it should be called the Kalia Dynasty, which ruled the central and southern parts of the border area, with fertile land and beautiful environment.

"What a shame, yet another ruined place. This world is full of grand buildings that are full of regrets."

Frelian, accustomed to seeing ruins, couldn't help but want them rebuilt. Otherwise, she felt a constant, unpleasant sense of decay, a bleak, melancholic feeling. Only if every region had a thriving, vibrant city would the Borderlands truly be reborn.

"They are still okay."

Melina emerged. "After all, Kalia Castle wasn't devastated. It was just a little run-down, and there weren't that many corpses."

“Our standards are a little different.”

"You'll understand once you get to the walls of Rodel. A single arrow could carve open the city gates, and the ground is filled with deep pits."

"A war of destruction that involves the entire world's essence, I will eventually witness it."

Fulilian might not only go to pay her respects, but she might also be the instigator of the Third Siege of Rodel. Because the Blessed King clearly refused to let her go, even if she possessed two Great Runes, she would still have to fight a fierce battle before she could enter and see the Circle.

Melina expressed her doubts about how much strength the border region could muster, but she was even more worried about the safety of the Faded Ones.

"arrive!"

Suddenly, a spacious conference room appeared in front of me. There was a circle of chairs, which could be considered a pool courtyard.

"Wait a minute, I have a bad feeling, go back first."

While giving the reminder, the silver-haired girl had already used the Golden Tree Oath, Oath of Revenge, and Resonant Rage to stack a series of benefits, leaving Melina stunned.

As cautious as ever, even though I'm so strong, I still remember to increase my gains at every opening.

Before he finished speaking, the pool suddenly bubbled, revealing a tall female knight in silver armor, atop a magnificent steed. She held a scythe in her hand, brandishing it with a powerful, oppressive swagger.

It is the product of magic attack!

The Royal Guard Knight Loretta has engraved her own magical projection into the Kalia Castle to resist any enemies from the outside world and guard the road leading to the core area. She has been invincible and has never wavered.

Melina saw through the depth of this magic at a glance. "Leaving a shadow is a technique similar to a demigod's avatar. The original body is probably comparable to a divine being."

"But after all, it's not the real body, what a pity."

"Be careful, Fulilian. She's at least a top hero. Fighting her in such a narrow place is not going to be easy—"

It was too late. At that moment, the towering Royal Guard knight raised his weapon and lightly tapped it, creating a circle of radiant swords that floated around him in a protective formation. The silver-haired girl, eager to see the prey, also used the same move, but with even greater numbers and size.

"Are they the same type of battle mages? Therefore, a strong person should be proficient in all martial arts."

Melina sighed after hearing this excited speech. It turned out that the Faded Ones came here just to experience the border area. They were not even in a hurry to have a quick victory, but just wanted to exercise.

Of course, there are only a few top heroes in the world, and even a demigod would have to work hard to defeat them.

Whoosh!

The two sides' radiant swords collided first, and Fulilian's blade, the higher quality, pierced through the defense and rushed straight to the face. Suddenly, the horse dodged it easily with a step in the air, exquisite and gorgeous.

It's a pity that my horse fighting skills are too poor, otherwise it would be more appropriate to bring Torret with me.
