Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 373: Manus Metier Cathedral

After putting away the ancient iron meteorite sword, Bai Shi has already made it his main extra-large sword in the future.

Bai Shi looked at the altar again and found another thing being worshipped.

In the altar, there is actually an extremely precious ancient dragon rock forging stone preserved.

Bai Shi picked it up from the fire and shook his head slightly.

Unfortunately, it is not the faded ancient dragon rock forging stone.

Bai Shi has very few weapons that require ordinary forging stones... no, it can be said that there are none at all.

The demand for discoloured ancient dragon rock forging stone is far greater than that of ordinary ancient dragon rock, and ordinary ancient dragon rock does not even have a place to be used.

Maybe later I can ask Grandpa Iggy to forge one using the ancient iron meteorite.

For example, a large spear with a pattern used for throwing, or a long spear.

Bai Shi had once asked Master Xiu Gu to forge two swords and spears for him, both of which were made from powerful flying dragon horns.

The power is reasonable, and it has accompanied Bai Shi in battle for a long time. It is especially easy to throw.

Unfortunately, the weapons themselves are not powerful enough and have gradually been replaced by other weapons and are no longer used in combat.

However, the throw with the highest output intensity cannot be recovered immediately and can only be used once, which is very troublesome.

However, this shortcoming can now be solved by the flow pattern forging technology.

If you use an ancient iron meteorite with strong enough material to forge a weapon that is purely used for throwing, it will definitely be an excellent long-range means to face powerful single enemies.

This ancient iron meteorite forging site has been explored almost completely. There is nothing there, so Bai Shi turned around and walked out.

After leaving the forging ruins, Bai Shi took out the map again and looked down at it.

The location here is very delicate now. Compared with returning directly to Shadow City, there is a closer place to go.

Looking at the location marked as the Manus Metier Cathedral, Bai Shi touched his chin.

Just by listening to the name, you can tell that this place, like the Church of Manus Theris on the Moonlight Altar, has some kind of inextricable relationship with the finger.

The "former magic professor" Ymir, who Messemo mentioned as someone who betrayed the royal family of Calia and pursued the Supreme Will, now uses the cathedral as his base.

If you want to know about the Finger and find the finger behind the fake Supreme Will, this is the best source of information.

Putting away the map, Bai Shi quickly made a decision and headed towards the cathedral.

While flying in the air, Bai Shi also decided on his next plan for meeting the magic professor.

This time there happened to be no one else around, so Bai Shi planned to pretend to be a little bit and try to contact her as an individual.

Although he was introduced by his brother-in-law, Bai Shi did not intend to show that he was related to the Shadow City forces.

Since the magic professor named Ymir defected from the Kalia royal family, even if there is still a minimal connection, the relationship will definitely not be very good.

If it is some ordinary information, it doesn't matter if it is known by Messermo and others.

However, he would definitely not tell his former employer, with whom he had some grievances, the truth about the information that involved truly important secrets.

Therefore, it was enough for Bai Shi to learn about the existence of such a person through Messermo's mouth, and their relationship was not needed this time.

If this relationship is used, it might actually create some resistance on the road of exploration, which is a result that Bai Shi does not want to see.

Since ancient times, deep affection cannot be retained, only routines can win people's hearts.

Bai Shi's intuition told him that the guy must have found some clues over the years.

Whether he can gain trust and extract information next depends on his acting skills.
-
Flying over the Shadow Altar, Bai Shibian soon arrived at the top of the hillside and saw the cathedral in the shallow lake.

Looking at the magnificent church from afar, Bai Shi stopped flying and landed on the side of the road leading there.

Bai Shi did not rush to the church, but found a dense forest and planned to disguise himself first.

Although Ymir, who has been staying in the Shadow Land, would definitely not recognize Bai Shi's identity, his strength would definitely make him alert.

Now Bai Shi's physical value has completely surpassed the scope of ordinary life in the border area, and he can emit pressure at any time.

He needs to simulate a strength level that is more suitable for contact.

A strength that is not so strong that people will be extremely wary upon first meeting, but also not so weak that it cannot shoulder heavy responsibilities.

Simply put, you have to disguise yourself as a hard-working laborer suitable for the task.

For this purpose, Bai Shi also prepared a prop that he had never used since collecting it - the Mimicry Veil.

This bright brown veil with a delicate design is a treasure of the royal city of Rodel and is known as Marika's playfulness.

One of the treasures that was taken away from the royal city by Greg during the Shattering War in the distant past.

The Mimic Veil can consume concentration points and mimic various objects.

Among the various mimicry props at the border, this is already the best one.

Although the effect in the game can only transform items for disguise, this inferior effect is totally unworthy of Queen Marika.

The actual effect of this prop is even more powerful.

Putting the mimicry veil on his head, a hazy and soft light immediately enveloped Bai Shi.

Bai Shi's shape and appearance were changing rapidly in the light, and his aura was gradually weakening, eventually reaching a suitable level.

A thin young man with pale skin and looking a little haggard appeared at the spot.

Bai Shi stretched out his hand and took a look. After confirming that its strength and appearance were completely mimicked, he nodded.

Then Bai Shi took out a pyroxene stone mask that had not been used for a long time from the space disc, put it on his head, and finally changed into the clothes of the magic academy.

In order to make the disguise reasonable, Bai Shi did not even use the crystal staff, but took out an ordinary academy pyroxene staff.

Holding the academy's pyroxene staff, a standard magician was born.

Of course, you may not be able to tell from the outside, but Bai Shi has given himself the identity of an expelled magician of the Origin faction.

The magicians from the magic academy, like the magician named Ymir, have the ultimate goal of exploring the starry sky rather than the moon.

This is also the reason why the Kalia royal family has never been able to completely digest the magic academy and can only be called a ruler.

The magicians of the Origin School are definitely the most crazy seekers on the road of exploring the starry sky.

Although his background is different from that of Professor Ymir Kalia, he is also a magician, and his ultimate goal of exploring the starry sky is the same.

Bai Shi was very satisfied with the identity of this magician from the Origin School.

If you want to get close to Ymir, your best option is to pretend to be a member of the Origin faction.

Powerful and capable of doing anything.

It couldn't be more reasonable to explore the starry sky and find traces of the finger along the way.

What's more, Bai Shi learned from Master Se Lian, who can be regarded as a magician of the origin school, so he is acting completely in his true colors.

I believe that if I just apply some of the teacher's words, this similar concept will be enough to make Ymir let down her guard.

His strength after disguise is probably similar to that of Teacher Serlian, barely reaching the level of Masters Lusert and Azrael.

Although I don’t know the level of Ymir, ordinary magic professors are not as good as Teacher Seren.

Bai Shi believed that Ymir's strength was definitely not comparable to that of an ordinary magic professor, and such strength was definitely enough for him to take her seriously.

This way you will have the capital to 'accept the mission'.

Bai Shi made all the necessary preparations before walking towards the church step by step.

After taking two steps, Bai Shi suddenly remembered something and bent down to take off his boots.

Walking barefoot on the muddy road, using magic to isolate the soles of the feet from the ground.

Bai Shi nodded with satisfaction. This was the essence of the magic academy, a truly perfect disguise.
-
After getting rid of the puppet soldiers that were a specialty of the magic academy, Bai Shi arrived in front of the church. Standing at the door of the Manus Metier Cathedral, Bai Shi looked up, revealing a thoughtful expression under the pyroxene stone cover.

The scale and decoration of this church are much higher than the Manus Theris Church on the Moonlight Altar.

If they are all churches dedicated to the two fingers, there is no reason for such a huge difference.

From the church, the status of people is clear at a glance.

Since that is where the two fingers are enshrined, could this be the place where that supreme being was enshrined in the past?

With anticipation, Bai Shi walked barefoot on the water like the magicians and slowly walked into the church.

The church was very dark. The few remaining candles could not illuminate it at all. Instead, the weak light made it difficult to see through the deep darkness.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door, Bai Shi received a "warm" welcome.

"You're not welcome here."

"Leave immediately, or don't blame me for driving you away."

As a cold and distant female voice sounded, a dark figure slowly emerged from the dim church and stood in front of Bai Shi.

The warrior blocking the road was wearing armor as black as ink, with not an inch of skin exposed from head to toe.

Not only was her tone unfriendly, but the unsheathed sword in her hand was clearly not one to be trifled with.

Bai Shi clenched the pyroxene staff in his hand and stopped at a distance that was quite safe for an ordinary magician.

"why?"

As he spoke, Bai Shi looked at the opponent's blade that had merged with the darkness.

It was a unique, semi-illusory sword that exuded a dark aura, very strange.

Before they even started fighting, Bai Shi had no idea whether this was a true semi-illusion weapon or a trick to hide the sword like the Wind King's barrier.

The female warrior on the opposite side obviously did not want to answer Bai Shi's question and clenched the weapon in her hand.

But recalling Ymir's warning, she paused, and finally answered Bai Shi in an impatient tone:

"Mr. Ymir is not here. No one is allowed to enter now."

Bai Shi understood. Obviously, this was Ymir's guard, and he was not in the church at that moment.

Nodding, Bai Shi said:
"Oh, I see."

"I don't know the Mr. Ymir you mentioned. I'm just curious about this building."

"If I have to wait for the owner to come back before I can visit, can you allow me to wait here?"

Of course, Bai Shi couldn't just leave without seeing anyone and stay outside in the wilderness waiting for Ymir to come back.

If he was asked to go out and wait, even with the strength of this disguised identity, it would be too frustrating.

Unfortunately, his inquiry received no response.

After hearing Bai Shi's words, Yolan, the already extremely alert 'Night Swordsman', completely calmed down.

Not wanting to waste any more words, Yolan approached quickly with his weapon in hand.

She is sensitive and suspicious by nature, as if she has thorns.

If it was an ordinary magician, she would never have such a big reaction.

Mr. Ymir had told her before that she could be a little more friendly if there were visitors.

Mr. Ymir is very friendly and hopes that more people will get involved and pursue their ideals together.

But the guy in front of her was very powerful and a dangerous person, and she didn't have the confidence to control him at all times.

In order to protect Mr. Ymir's hard work in her own way, she had to take action.

Yolan's figure disappeared in the dark church halfway through the charge.

Then, like a ghost, she appeared next to Bai Shi again, and swung the sword in her hand at a tricky angle.

But Bai Shi jumped back nimbly and avoided the attack.

At the same time, the staff in his hand kept waving, releasing magic.

Powerful mid- and high-level magic such as pyroxene comets, meteor showers, and swirling magic gravel are released one after another.

With the rapid release of pyroxene magic gravel, the surging pyroxene wave suppressed her forward steps for a while.

As Yolan continued to swing the Night Blade to smash the pyroxene, he became more and more certain of his actions.

The magician in front of him was indeed very powerful.

While Mr. Ymir is away temporarily, we cannot allow him to enter the church like we would an ordinary person.

Yolan tightly grasped the Dark Night Blade in his hand, already determined to kill.

The power of darkness exploded instantly, sweeping away all the pyroxene in front of it.

Yolan held the knife horizontally with one arm, letting the darkness of the night wrap around the blade. A force continued to accumulate and was ready to be released at any time.

The calm face under the Baizhi hood finally showed some expression, and he was a little curious about the opponent's moves.

Even if he only used strength that matched his expected level, he could easily deal with the opponent's attacks, which was a bit boring.

However, at this moment, a voice suddenly came, interrupting the move that was about to be launched.

"Yolan, stop it now."

"It's very rude of you to treat such a rare visitor like this."

As soon as the voice came out, Yolan, who was so aggressive just now, immediately stopped his actions, stepped back to distance himself from the white consciousness, and merged into the darkness again.

Bai Shi curled his lips, somewhat speechless.

This guy was really obedient and didn't hesitate at all.

Seeing that the other party had really stopped, Bai Shi dispelled the magic that was still brewing and looked in the direction of the sound.

From the side door of the church, a man wearing heavy priest clothing and a tall crown on his head walked in slowly.

Obviously, this is the owner of this place, Ymir.

Under the light from behind, Bai Shi could also see his appearance clearly.

The purple-based robe was embellished with gold embroidery, and the collar was as dazzling as a blooming flower.

But the most eye-catching thing is the deep dark hole on his crown, like a black hole.

Ymir walked a few meters in front of Bai Shi and said with a happy expression:

"...Oh, there are visitors. It's so rare."

"Sorry, Yolan is a little nervous."

"She doesn't usually act like this with visitors, but your strength makes her uneasy."

After saying that, Ymir gave Bai Shi a friendly smile.

"This is a testament to your strength. It's an honor to meet you."

“It’s rare to have new encounters in such an abandoned place.”

"My name is Ymir, I am half the owner of this place, welcome to the Cathedral of Manus Metier."

Seeing that Ymir had introduced himself, Bai Shi nodded to him and said:

"Alan Yeager, a magician who yearns for freedom and the truth of the starry sky."

　The translation of the Ring of Law is somewhat bad. The name of the mother is Metyr, and the cathedral is Metyr. The English name is exactly the same, but it was translated into Metyr during the translation at noon, so the correct translation name is used in the book.
