Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 287: Munger’s ditch is targeted by Michaela?

After using Feng Ling Yue Ying to eliminate all the abnormal conditions on his body, Bai Shi began to think about what to do next.

Now the charm state set by Michaela on him has been lifted.

The mark still existed on his body, but it had become completely harmless.

Then from now on, you just need to pay a little attention to your words and actions, and you can easily continue to contact with Leida and other Michaela's followers without being exposed.

Bai Shi looked at Melina.

"Okay, the little trick Michaela used on me has been solved."

"But I will continue to contact them in the future."

Melina looked at Bai Shi in some surprise.

At this time, we still have to continue to contact Michaela and his group. Has the charm really been solved?

Or is Michaela's charm really that great that it made Bai Shi have some inappropriate thoughts?
Melina waved her hand in front of Bai Shi.

"Bai Shi, are you awake?"

"He just used his ability to charm you."

Bai Shi smiled.

"Yes, that's why it's a good time to continue to contact them."

Melina thought for a moment and asked:
"What's wrong? What do you want to do?"

The mark of Michaela appeared on his body.

"If they knew I had lifted the control, they would probably be so scared that they would run away."

"But after the enchantment was removed, the mark did not disappear, which can perfectly cover up the facts."

"As long as we do this, we can know Michaela's actions through their movements."

Melina already understood what Bai Shi meant, and after thinking about it for a while, she nodded.

"Indeed, if you want to obtain information about Michaela, this is indeed the only way at present."

"Other than that, there are almost no clues unless we go to the sacred tree."

"But Leida and the others barely revealed any information."

"I feel that apart from Leida, the other two people know very little about Michaela's affairs."

"As for Michaela, I have never met or had any direct contact with her until now."

"But the question now is, can we really guarantee that it won't be exposed?"

Bai Shi thought about his previous state under the charm and felt that it was not a problem.

Compared to the forced hypnosis abilities/props that appear in various film and television works, Michaela's ability is more like a layer of changing the underlying thoughts about him, similar to a thought stamp.

"Micaela's enchanted state is a little different than I originally thought."

"I thought it would be the type of forceful control, but surprisingly the control was very mild."

"He has not affected my own thinking and logic. Even the faction I belong to and my original feelings towards various people will not change."

"Only at the deepest level, I added the idea of not being hostile to Michaela and helping him."

“So it’s easy to avoid being exposed.”

"As long as you do what you are supposed to do and help them a little, there will be nothing wrong."

"Besides, they should pray that they don't find out that the charm on me has worn off."

Thinking of this, Bai Shi smiled.

Being exposed or discovered, Bai Shi didn't worry about this at all.

If Leida and the others find out, it would be best to pretend that they didn't find out, otherwise you will die a miserable death.

Speaking of Leida, Bai Shi looked around but didn't see her.

"By the way, where are Leida and the others?"

Melina pointed outside the temple, where they had just fought.

"Leida said that the power of the pure gold used to suppress Monger's body is about to dissipate."

"In order to prevent the power of the Invisible Mother from coming out of the corpse, she has gone down to seal it again."

"By the way, she just asked us how we plan to deal with Monger's body."

"I think we should wait until you come back before deciding."

"So have you thought about how to deal with the body?"

Bai Shi smacked his lips, finding it difficult to make a decision.

Monger's corpse...

This is indeed something that needs careful consideration.

There seems to be something called 'God's Essence' inside that corpse.

The external part of the gods is the essence of the gods, and it is not something that can be easily solved.

This was the first time Bai Shi had come into contact with this kind of thing, and he had almost no understanding of it.

I don’t know what impact this thing will have if it is released.

Bai Shi wanted to hear what Melina thought and planned to ask for her opinion.

"Melina, what do you think?"

Melina lowered her head slightly, put her fingers on her chin, and told Bai Shi the possibility she had just thought of.

"There must be some unknown secret here."

"Since Michaela is not in the Blood Dynasty, then Leida and the others are following his instructions."

"Besides, they even risked being exposed and dragged you into the battle. It was obvious that they wanted to kill Monger."

"Micaela's purpose may be to allow Leida and others to travel to the Shadow Land through this body."

"But the way Leida seems to care about the corpse makes me suspect that Michaela also has a need for Monger's corpse."

"Although Leida acted very naturally, her repeated intervention and questioning were problematic."

"Of course, it's possible that I'm overthinking it. After all, if I want to come to Cocoon, I must kill Monger..."

Bai Shi was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously felt that this was a little unbelievable.

Does Michaela have any thoughts about Monger's body, too?
This is targeting Monger's ditch, and the corpse doesn't mind?
Bai Shi thought it was very possible that Leida and the others would be able to go to the Shadow Land through his arm.

After all, if Michaela were alone, it would be too inefficient to search for information or take action in the underworld.

Some subordinates are also more convenient to help and can do more things.

But is it a little too shocking to say that Michaela had any improper thoughts about Monger's body?
It's impossible that this little boy Michaela has some strange thoughts about Monger's body, right?
Bai Shi felt that Leida's intervention was probably just to prevent the Invisible Mother from descending to the border area again by becoming the essence of God.

However, Bai Shi thought about it carefully and did not rule out the possibility that Michaela was spying on Monger's body.

"Well... indeed, it seems that it is possible."

"The ancient king told me before that there are horned people in the Shadow Land."

"In the days when the Shadowlands were sealed off, the horns were still worshiped as a blessing from the forge."

"Perhaps he wants to take advantage of this feature of Monger's identity."

Melina spoke again:
"In this case, let's just assume that Michaela does have a need for Monger's body."

"We have two options for what to do next."

"The first option is for us to directly keep or even destroy Monger's body."

"The most obvious benefit is that it can avoid the risks we need to take after Michaela obtains Monger's body."

"Of course, this will be troublesome, and it will probably expose the fact that the charm has failed."

Bai Shi nodded.

It shouldn't be a problem to completely destroy Monger's body, but it's hard to say whether the essence of God can be directly destroyed.

Melina continued, "As for the second option, leave it to them."

"But in this case, you will need to keep a closer eye on them later."

"So which one do you think is better?"

Bai Shi thought about it silently, and then he spoke:

"If Michaela really has a need for a corpse, I would probably only choose the second option if I were enchanted."

"In that case, let's see what Michaela wants to do."

"There will always be a replacement for a corpse. If Monger is gone, he will find another replacement."

"If we lose the clues, it would be even more disadvantageous if Michaela found a replacement and we were completely unaware of it."

"If we do this, at least we will know what bargaining chips Michaela holds."

Besides, they were killed while they were alive, so what's there to be afraid of just a corpse after they die?

Even if Monger was resurrected, Bai Shi could kill him again.
-
Leida strikes again, using pure gold to seal the power within Monger's body.

This time it was not so rushed, and Leida also increased her strength, able to maintain it for quite a long time.

After doing all this, Leida looked at Dan and Freya.

"I'll go up and look for Bai Shi again later."

"If there is any movement, you will take Monger's body and leave, and find a chance to return to the sacred tree."

"do you understand?"

Dann nodded. Freya didn't understand why, but she did as he asked.

Leida sighed and took off her helmet.

She always felt that things were not going well, and all kinds of ominous premonitions made her very upset.

If things don't go as smoothly as Lady Michaela predicted, that would be bad...

She walked back to the temple with a nervous mood.

After entering the temple, Leida immediately saw Bai Shi who had returned.

In Leida's eyes, a golden mark appeared on Bai Shi's body that could only be seen by those who served Michaela.

Leida was stunned for a moment, and the next moment she suddenly felt relaxed.

There was no doubt that it was the emblem of Lady Mikaela.

Great, Mistress Michaela did succeed.

Now Bai Shi has become their companion, and they can work together to create a peaceful world.

As long as Bai Shi participates in their plan, success will be just around the corner.

Leida walked forward with a smile.

"Master Bai Shi, you are back."

"How is it? Did the Shadow Land not disappoint you?"

Bai Shi nodded.

"The Shadowlands are truly amazing, and I'm looking forward to exploring them."

"By the way, you mentioned how to deal with Monger's body, right?"

Leida's heart trembled and she subconsciously became nervous.

"Yes, what do you think should be done with the body?"

Bai Shi approached Leida step by step and finally stopped in front of her.

Leida's expression remained unchanged, and at this moment she regretted taking off her helmet just now.

But Bai Shi could feel that she seemed nervous but pretending to be calm, which made him laugh.

"I think... it's too much trouble to handle it myself."

"The power of pure gold can suppress the power of external gods and seal the power in the corpse, right?"

"In that case, please seal it for me."

"This way we can avoid the risk of the terrifying outer god power leaking out."

Pure gold is extremely effective against Outer Gods, and it has restraints in terms of mechanisms and rules.

As long as the golden tree still covered the border, the power of the Outer Gods, and even their divine essence, could be blocked by pure gold.

If there is a chance, Bai Shi also hopes to be able to master some of this power.

Leida heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that.

I was originally thinking about how to convince Bai Shi, but now, the body was directly delivered to them.

It was really wrong to question Lady Michaela before.

Leida leaned forward slightly.

"Please rest assured. I swear in the name of the Golden Needle Knight that I will properly dispose of Monger's body."

Bai Shi nodded and asked:
"Do you know anything else about the Shadow Land?"

"Tell me in detail, tell me everything you know."

Leida glanced at the withering creature sticking out of the cocoon and exchanged glances with Bai Shi.

"I don't know much, only a few words from Lady Michaela."

"If you want to hear it, I can convey it."

Bai Shi motioned for her to continue.

Leida took a deep breath and said:

"I understand. I will just repeat what Lady Michaela said—"

Melina glanced sideways, feeling that the lines sounded familiar.

"It all started with temptation and betrayal."

"Gold was born, and the shadow appeared."

"Then the war broke out, and it was a war that was never praised and was covered up."

"It was a massacre without blessing or honor."

Leida finished speaking Mikaela's words and continued:
"...What happened next was that the Shadow Land was completely cut off from the border area and blocked off. There was no way to get any news from it."

"But now we actually have a way to get to the Shadow Land."

Bai Shi asked Leida:

"You are also planning to go to the Shadow Land next."

Leida nodded and said:

"In the Shadow Land, I also have companions."

"They are people who are guided by Mistress Michaela, just like me."

"Ms. Mikaela left behind footprints. My companions and I will pursue the footsteps of Ms. Mikaela together."

"If you are interested, Master Baishi, you can go with us."

Bai Shi touched his chin. It seemed that Leida had let down her guard against him since he had a mark on his body.

Leida really regarded him as someone she could trust and had already extended an invitation to him.

Then what happens next will be very interesting.

"Do you already have companions in the Shadow Land?"
