Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

In the early morning, the sun dispelled the thin mist. The tree guards in golden armor rode their horses leisurely, patrolling the mountain paths. The music of bird calls came from the woods, awakening the entire earth.

I rubbed my eyes with my hands, but felt an unusually cold feeling on my face.

Ah, it turned out to be the ring that Melina gave me last night - the Spirit Horse Whistle.

After a long time, I finally have the most powerful means of transportation on the border. From now on, I can escape more easily!

I looked at the ring on my finger for a long time, and suddenly, an idea flashed in my mind!

In the game, A-Tai bites the ring and blows the whistle to summon Torret. At the beginning, Torret is in Meimei's hand, right?

In other words, when Meimei wanted to summon Torret, she also bit this ring...

Well, if I bite the same spot now, does this count as an indirect kiss, hehe~

"Eh-"

Suddenly, a horse neighed beside me, and a gray-white horse appeared beside me, causing me and it to look at each other in surprise.

"Hey, hey, good morning, Torret." I greeted him guiltily.

And Torrett called out again, as if warning me with his eyes not to use it to do anything strange.

"Ahahaha." I laughed dryly, stood up and stroked its mane, "Oh, I, I was just kidding, don't be angry."

"By the way, do you want to have breakfast? I have a lot of dried loya fruits here."

Torret came over happily and started eating the breakfast I prepared for him.

I also took out some dried meat and chewed it while thinking, "Now that we have Torret, we should explore further afield."

I feel ashamed to say that during that period of time, I was so busy thinking about survival that I hardly even left the original forest outside the Airey Church.

It was only a few steps in the game, but after it became the real world, it expanded a lot, and there were several more Grek soldiers stationed there.

No wonder Meimei’s plot was triggered so late. Maybe she was tired of waiting and came to me on her own initiative.

After all, the first contact in the game is at the blessed point in the ruins before the level.

However, times are different now!

It's time for us to travel the world with swords in hand and raise our voices when we see injustice. Torret! Let's go!

-

The white horse galloped lightly, and its hooves raised up dust.

As expected of him, he was known as the most agile horse in the border area. In a blink of an eye, Torrett followed the path and led me out of the woods, causing Greg's soldiers to scream behind him.

Okay, Torrett, let’s brave the border and explore the entire Yakir Lake area first!

"Eh-"

Torrett also let out a long cry of excitement and rushed towards the checkpoint outside the forest.

"Hey, wait! Wait!" I quickly grabbed Torrett, "Old man, don't you see that this checkpoint is heavily guarded? I'm not ready to force my way in."

By the way, in the real world of the magic circle, it seems that you can’t teleport between blessing points at will - well, it may be that the method I use is wrong.

In short, if you run directly through the level now, you will have to go around a long circle to get out, which is quite troublesome.

Besides, I’m not ready to ask Mr. Omen for advice yet... I’d better pass the levels and enter Storm City after I level up.

So I gave the order again: "So, Torret, let's go to the right, through the ruins, to the road! Run!"

"Eh-"

Hey, wait! Wait!

Why is this guy still planning to rush into the level?

"Ah, I see. I must not know how to ride a horse, and perhaps I gave some wrong instructions to Torrett."

I dismounted first, held the reins to adjust the direction, then mounted again and commanded: "Now move forward, Torret."

"Eh-"

Torrett let out a long cry, turned 180 degrees, and tried to break through the checkpoint again.

“Stop, stop, stop!”

This guy, why is he so disobedient! He is in a hurry to advance the main plot... Did Meimei deliberately give the order before this? Damn it!

Just as I was entangled with Torret, suddenly, a horn sounded from a distance.

Immediately afterwards, a bow and a crossbow flew towards me, whizzing past my ears.

“Oh… it’s dangerous!” I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat. “By the way, the security area in the real world is too wide! I haven’t even stepped into the ruins where the Greg soldiers are stationed!”

What's worse, the soldiers guarding the checkpoint also seemed to have heard the horn.

An extremely loud roar responded from inside, followed by a huge figure falling from the sky, shaking the earth!

It's the mountain goblin guard!

Seeing it with my own eyes, the pressure is even greater than in the game. If you get caught, you can eat A-Tai to the bone with just one bite.

If we continue like this, we will be attacked from both sides!

"Eh-"

Fortunately, at this time, Torret finally realized the crisis, and took me to rush to the right, moving forward along the cliff near the ruins.

Torrett didn't stop until he was far away from the ruins and found the blessed point again.

"Ah, could it be that, Torrett, you can also see the blessing?" After breathing a sigh of relief, I asked doubtfully.

Moreover, from the various settings of the game, it is clear that it has a close relationship with Marika, the "Eternal Queen" of the borderland.

And Torrett neighed in affirmation.

No wonder...this guy must have mistaken the blessing's guidance as my order, so he kept running into the checkpoint.

"It's not that we're not going. We need to be fully prepared to win every battle. Now, my ability is far from enough. Please listen to my command more next time." I sighed and persuaded Torrett.

"Hey!"

I don't know if it understood.

Oh, we passed by a sword monument.

The giant sword carved from black stone was planted in the ground like a grove of trees, recording the major events that had happened in this area. In reality, it looked even more magnificent and solemn.

——Golden Greg, a battle of shame. Fighting "Micaela's Blade", defeated. Kneeling on the ground, begging for mercy.

Hahaha, Xiao Ge’s glorious deeds are worth appreciating.

It is said that he was spared only after he licked the feet of "Michaela's Blade" Malenia... Damn it, why didn't I lick it!

Just kidding, Lianlian is not someone that ordinary people can get close to, or your whole body will be corrupted by corruption.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" A rough roar startled everyone.

Oh no, it’s a Kaidan mercenary patrolling nearby. Could he also be under the command of Greg and be hunting the Faded?

"Hand over all the runes on you, and I'll spare your life!"

Oh my god, I have become a robber! I have no money!

I quickly rode on Torret and rode away, but this guy was chasing me on his horse.

Faintly, I seemed to hear someone calling out, "Hey - someone passing by, please help..."

"Hmm? Fader!"

On the bridge ahead, a small group of Grek soldiers and their captain on horseback spotted me, picked up their weapons and charged at me from behind.

Ah Tu has an unlucky physique where everyone hates him and every dog ​​bites him!

But I won't give up, Torrett!

"Hey!"

As soon as I pulled the reins, Torrett and I jumped under the bridge in unison... Hey, this is such a high place. If we fall directly, I remember that we will die in the game!

Ding bell~

Just as I was screaming, I heard a slight ring of a bell. The blue light of a butterfly passed by Torrett's feet in mid-air, allowing him to jump again and land steadily on the bridge pier.

Then, he jumped down again and landed successfully and safely.

By the way, this spirit horse even mastered the power of the double jump in the air, which a certain V had not yet learned in the fifth part.

But then again, if you really can do it, why not just jump over those guys' heads like I thought just now?

It seems that I need to communicate more with Torrett to achieve complete unity with him like in the game.

“Gah! Gahah—”

I felt a sudden chill down my spine, and then I could hear a series of sounds of people falling into the shallow river.

Turn your head...

"Oh my god, the skeleton has become a spirit!"

"Gah!"

The piles of white bones actually stood up again, holding swords and slashing randomly!

I almost forgot that there is a team of dead skeletons lying in ambush here, specifically targeting new players.

I quickly clamped my legs together and ran as fast as I could. I don't know how long it was, but before I could take a break, I saw a bonfire and a lot of people gathered nearby... Wait, this is!

"Roar--"

There was a loud noise in the sky, and a huge figure like a bomber appeared loudly!

The flying dragon lurking in Lake Yakir spewed a blazing fire towards the campfire, turning the human figures inside into ashes in an instant... Oh, no, it was the human figures that turned into golden runes and merged into the dragon's body.

It’s over, it’s over. This naked outfit is totally useless against this guy!

Torrett, let's retreat!

······

"Ah-ah-"

Amid the screams of the punished people hanging on the cross, I rode on Torret and finally staggered back to Airey Church.

There is no familiar firelight inside... Is that old crooked businessman Galie really not coming?

Ok?

Wait, something seems wrong.

Could there originally be such a thick fog here at Airey Church?
