Frillian in the Elden Ring

"I've been talking a bit off topic. Anyway, I'm about to fall asleep. Let's talk more later."

Lani said sincerely: "Also, Fulilian, I look forward to you becoming the King of Elden and spreading your kindness."

"Thank you."

The silver-haired girl answered seriously.

Since arriving at the border, countless people have expressed this expectation of me. The road to becoming a king is harder than I imagined, and I must not let them down.

"I heard you like magic books. Feel free to browse through the collection upstairs in the attic. Just don't damage them or take them away."

"I see."

"Then I will fall asleep first and contact you again when you reach the deepest part of the Magic Academy."

The next moment, the doll girl nodded slightly, her face obscured by the wide brim of her hat, presumably falling asleep. This wasn't carelessness; almost as soon as Lani fell asleep, the magic circles that had been hidden in the darkness activated, enveloping the entire area with an impenetrable force. The number of magic circles was simply incalculable.

"See you."

Despite this, Fulilian still took the opportunity to wander around the attic, glancing at the magic books there and checking the advice on the ground. Her comments were generally positive:

[The true official heroine, Lani, has the longest and richest side storyline]

[When I started it, I didn't expect the process to be so long. If you count the distance above and below the ground, it's almost like running through the intersection.]

Everyone has different opinions on the ending of Stellaris. There are opinions such as "rule by doing nothing", "let it go", and "watch the world". However, I think this is also a kind of value. I chose an ending that can accommodate imagination.

[However, judging from some of the dialogue in Shadow Land, it seems that the trend is that A-Tu chooses Marika as his goddess.]

【Not necessarily】

【The gold content of the ending of Stellar is still increasing】

[Reminder: It's best not to mess around here, because Lani has an instant kill mechanism]

I left all of Selvis' potions to the coprophagists.

[You can choose your own ending, but if you don't complete the Lani side quest, you'll miss out on a lot of content. The two fingers in the story are crucial to the historical origins of the border area.]

[After the decisive battle, it's hard to say whether Marika is dead or alive. Some say she's a pure vessel for the Law, while others say she's full of life as long as she holds the Ring... But I don't want to marry the mother of ten or so children.]

【really】

[Except for those who deliberately want to try out the bad ending, I must choose All Stars every week. I am the King of Lani]

...So the Moon Princess side quest determines one of the endings? Having lived through several game worlds, Fulilian immediately understood what this meant. It was a choice, and it couldn't be overestimated.

She took a deep look at the doll girl and then walked away. Staying any longer would only arouse vigilance, so she said goodbye first.

She continued to ponder the clues as she walked down the stairs:

"Although I don't know the details, Stellaris can generally be considered quite inclusive. Regardless of how players interpret it, it should be more open than other endings, right?"

Even with cloud saves, you still have to choose a target ending.

"We can choose the laws of the stars, and it is up to us to decide whether to enforce them and how to enforce them."

With this thought, Fulilian felt much clearer, less entangled. No matter how many interpretations were made, it ultimately depended on the governance of the King and the Gods. Could it be that a star-studded ending meant nothing at all? Not necessarily. Even if it did, she could still execute it differently.

It's still early days.

It's not too late to make a decision after understanding the general direction of the other endings, and the keyword of the Shadow Land mentioned just now is really something that cannot be ignored...

Chapter 106 For Melina.

There was too much information in one conversation with Lani.

Unfortunately, all the information is fragmented, and many of them are just a keyword. It is not clear whether it is important or not, and it cannot be pieced together at the moment.

In any case, Fulilian determined a route to an ending.

But there's no point in thinking too far ahead. Even if we exclude other endings, the most extensive and longest side quests mentioned by players are definitely not easy to handle. My current Stargazer account may not be enough...

The silver-haired girl left the Three Sisters Tower in deep thought, slowly walked out of the city, and left the area surrounded by the large-scale magic circle.

The wind blows from the lake land.

"Flillian, we need to talk."

Melina, who had been silent since a while ago, finally appeared, her expression as serious as when they first met.

"Why are you so obsessed with helping me? Creating a body for me? And caring so much about my mission... It's unnecessary. You are a Faded One, and I am a witch. This kind of involvement goes beyond the scope of the transaction."

"Are you disgusted?"

"I don't hate it but I shouldn't, I think it's dangerous."

"It's not dangerous at all. You're just afraid because you think the world is too unfamiliar."

Fulilian walked forward to hold her hand, but passed through the spirit.

"You see, because you have never touched, you have not felt the clear outlines of this world. Have you fully experienced the wind of Nimgefu, the water of Lienia? If you do not understand the border, how can you know what the mission is?"

"Melina, I simply want you to witness with me. The prerequisite for repairing the magic circle is to understand all of this. I need your guidance as always."

To be honest, the emotions of the elves probably wouldn't be affected by the witch's sacrifice, but she didn't want that to happen.

wrong.

The people of the elven village said that Fulilian's magic was vibrant, burning with emotions as intense as those of the ephemeral, and her imagination was boundless. They attributed this to her youth, but in reality, this training stemmed from her strongest game magic, armed with experience.

So you shouldn't be a slow elf.

If anyone around her were to be sacrificed, she would stop it. This was her way of practicing magic.

Regardless of whether you understand Melina's so-called mission or not, she will never be allowed to sacrifice herself. As for the truth behind it, it is not too late to dig it out slowly. There is plenty of time.

"Thanks……"

Feeling the Fader's resolute temperament, she was actually shaken.

Thinking about it carefully, I could actually help more now that I had a body. With my vast experience, I could handle government affairs without any problems. Besides, Melina had some fighting ability, and the powerful strength within her body was genuine.

Even without releasing the seal on the eyes, the Faded One can remain invincible simply by praying for recovery. The two will definitely be stronger together.

"You figured it out, right? There's no harm in having a body, so that's why I wanted to do this."

Fulilian persuaded.

"You're right. In that case, I can help you share some of the work. This is one of the duties of a witch."

"That's settled."

"it is good."

The two people who were in tune with each other spontaneously put one thing aside and avoided talking about it.

Melina was sure that Patch's deliberate disclosure of Bernal's witch deeds must have touched Freellian. At least she guessed that she might also be aiming for some kind of sacrifice, but the time had not come to expose it yet, so they could keep peace for the time being.

It’s tempting to think that perhaps the faded ones hope to find alternatives during this time.

They didn't plan to go into depth on the topic, but the distance between them was undoubtedly shortened. In a sense, it was a heart-to-heart talk, not just a pure cooperative relationship.

The spirit horse Torret appears after being summoned.

As soon as it appeared on the stage, it neighed loudly and majestically, as if celebrating the honesty between the two partners.

Fulilian jumped on her horse and immediately took out a map. "Without further delay, let's go find the key to the academy. Then we'll circle around the academy and scout, and then we'll prepare to attack head-on."

"Let's go."

Melina grabbed the hand extended by the former and sat behind the spirit horse. The next moment, Torrett was galloping at full speed.

She couldn't help but breathe in the fragrance of the flowers on the wind, but it was a pity she couldn't touch them. Fulilian's words had finally touched her heart. She really should experience more of the world. Her experience before encountering the Faded One was too shallow, full of knowledge but lacking experience.

You can demand yourself to be strong with the standard that you will sacrifice yourself sooner or later, but you cannot neglect your ability to assist others. You must at least send your partner to the royal city.

The two set off towards the rising sun, the thick fog dissipated, and the magnificent view of the lake unfolded.

The vegetation and mountains and rivers complement each other, with buildings standing tall among them. The Yatan Plateau in the distance embellishes the monotonous horizon, giving people a sense of grandeur and majesty.

Lake Lienya is truly majestic.

The vast land beneath our feet has accommodated the Kalia royal family, the Magic Academy, and has also witnessed the peak of the Golden Army, each of which has left an indelible mark that even time cannot wash away.

It's all over.

In the new era, new witnesses have arrived. At this moment, it belongs to only two people, and they can see it all.

Torret slowed down his pace, walked out of the Kalia Castle, found a gentle slope and then jumped to the lake.

As we descended, more fog descended, blurring our view but adding a touch of dreaminess. The shadows of the trees and grass drew our attention to the subtle changes, even the carvings on the ruins, between every brick and tile, captivated our gaze.

Since the spirit horse slowed down after entering the lake, it took most of the day to walk this distance. However, Melina and Fulilian, who were worried, didn't care too much about the delay.

"The Crystal Forest is ahead. We're almost where the map indicates."

"Another dragon?"

The silver-haired girl looked out with her hands on the awning, and saw a flying dragon sleeping soundly next to the corpse with the key.

Melina murmured, "Perhaps because the Kalia royal family once signed a contract with dragons, there are many flying dragons here."

"Should we wait until dark to engage in battle? Otherwise we might attract the attention of the academy and have them try to stop us."

Suddenly, Fulilian had an idea. "I have another way. Let's try to resolve it quickly."

The next moment he rushed forward, rapidly closing the distance.

Torret responded to Frellen's order with courage and charged towards the dragon. The latter turned his head lazily when he heard the noise, not knowing what was going on.

Ice fog!

The thick fog filled with cold air obscured its vision. Seeing this, it immediately felt alarmed and tried to take off. However, it immediately found that the fog was filled with tiny ice crystals and was too heavy. The air seemed to be frozen.

The next moment, Fulilian used another new magic: pyroxene ice.

The originally ordinary magic took on a completely different power in her hands, instantly freezing the lake, and the extended ice crystals snapped and froze the target.

The confused Feilong was frozen into a statue, unable to move, and still didn't react.

So fast!

Melina knew better than anyone that Fulilian had learned new magic on the fly. How could it be so powerful? And this magic shouldn't have this effect.

It was as if any magic in her hands became high-output, large-scale power.

"It's a pity that I wasn't proficient enough in using it the first time."

The dragon ice sculpture before her was cracked and icicles were constantly falling off, clearly unable to trap the powerful creature. While there were methods to add ordinary magic, the efficiency was too low, so the amount of magic power she had infused wasn't as much as it appeared.

Therefore, Feilong mobilized his magic power in time to protect his body and withstand the first wave. The next moment, he completely broke the ice. His vertical pupils were full of anger, reflecting the figure of Fulilian.

Dragon Breath——

However, it clearly saw the silver-haired girl catch the magic head-on, and then gathered it into a huge lightsaber.

Kaliah return.

Then the sharp blade cut into the gaps between the scales, easily tearing the muscles and splattering blood.

Before it was over, the Kalia Circle immediately rose around him, and dozens of sharp blades pierced his body. It was more adept at attacking than the Brilliant Sword Circle, and the penetration power of a single blade was superior, even leaving a flying dragon covered in wounds.

It was dying in the first encounter. It never expected that the opponent who suddenly came to attack it would be so strong, even more terrifying than those academy mages.

The dragon still tried to crawl away, but the silver-haired girl showed no interest in pursuing it. Instead, she stood there, clenching her fists, as if savoring the sensations of different kinds of magic... Could this girl be simply experimenting? How insane!

Then she raised her arms high, and the blue blades continued to grow.

Great Kalia!

The huge lightsaber cut the target in half from head to tail, blood spilled into the lake, and the dragon fell to the ground. The impact caused a light rain of blood and water to fall from the sky. Fortunately, the ice fog blocked it from being exposed.

If the force had not been reduced in time, the surrounding lake water might have been cut or even evaporated.

"This magic multiplier is pretty good. It should be easy to stack damage."

The knowledgeable Flillian immediately noticed the extraordinary qualities of the Great Kalia. The charged damage was considerable, so there was only one question left:

Hit rate.

It's not easy to find an opportunity to deal with enemies of the same level, but it should be enough to start the fight. Combined with magic that can temporarily restrict the enemy's movement, it's simply invincible and guaranteed to defeat you.

"The Kalia royal family is indeed wealthy."
