Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

——This guy is not Paris, Paris, S, ah ah ah...

After the Crucible Civil War in the Sealed Prison in Storm Hill ended, Hurtok's words almost made my brain crash. It kept buzzing inside, like a shout in an empty valley, with endless echoes.

"This, this guy isn't Paris?!"

Hurtok put away his greatsword and shield, raised his head and said, "He should be Owen Chalk. He has many friends in the Knights Templar, and he has an especially close relationship with my brother Paris. I heard that in the first defense of the Royal City, he led the first vanguard and defeated the attack of the Raccard-Latarn coalition. However, he later encountered the Raccard Justice and was defeated by him. It was then that I lost contact with this friend. I didn't expect..."

Later, while wandering around, Owen might have learned that his good friend Paris was working for King Greg, so he came to join him with the intention of reminiscing about the past with his comrades and reviving the Golden Clan.

But after witnessing Greg's limb transplantation, an act that tarnished the royal honor, Owen, as a warrior, must have gone to remonstrate with the other party more than once, but was always dismissed.

Even later on, Greg still wanted to seize the power of the Crucible Knight, so he deliberately sent people to assassinate Owen.

Unfortunately, the power of the Crucible Knight was too great, so Xiao Ge might have used a trick to lure Owen here and locked him up in the Sealed Prison.

As knights following the absolute king Gefulei, they witnessed his descendants falling into depravity.

The warrior's sense of honor, the embarrassment of powerlessness, the absolute respect for the royal family, and the resentment towards Greg were infinitely magnified in the endless imprisonment. Moreover, after the magic ring was broken, the people who were blessed at the border were prone to fall into obsession... Perhaps, before coming to Stonewell, they had seen an extremely tragic scene in the battle between the Golden Dynasty and the Judicial Officer Lakkad of the Volcano Residence.

All those messy thoughts combined together, madly destroying the sanity of this honorable Crucible Knight, causing him to become like that in the end.

——Xiao Ge, you really do a lot of harm to others!

However, the most important thing now is not these, but that this person is not Paris!

So which furnace is Paris? !

——Was he watching the false starry sky underground? Was he in the Red Lion City? Or did Paris even go up to the sky city, Fam Azra? ······

In the game level of Elden Ring, there are a total of sixteen Forge Knights, including those that can be summoned by the Summoning Snail.

Which one is Paris?

Although given Hertok's personality, he won't get angry just because I didn't find Paris for him this time, but he probably won't stay in Stoneville anymore, but will go find his brother.

——In this way, Stonewell lost an ace.

As for Nepheli's branch, I have only done the beginning. I don't know if I can drag it out until then before new chaos occurs in Stonewell...

"Zero, what's wrong with you?" Hertok seemed to see my hesitation and turned around to ask.

"Well, that..." I sighed and decided to tell the truth, "I feel very sorry that you, Hertok, had high hopes, but in the end, the person you found was not your brother Paris... Of course, I also know the locations of some other Crucible Knights, but they are not in Nimgfu."

"Really? Then please help me find him, Zero." Hertok patted my shoulder with a smile, "When you see that guy, tell me my name, Hertok, and Paris will definitely understand everything."

"Really? I hope so... Hmm? Hertok, what did you say just now?" I turned my head suddenly.

"Let you see Paris and tell me..."

"No, the previous sentence!"

"Please help me find it."

Yes! That’s the sentence!

I swallowed and asked carefully, "I, I understand that the agreement we made in Stonewell is still valid? I will help you find Paris, and you will help protect Stonewell."

Hertok chuckled softly: "If it was when I first met you, I might have just walked away... However, what happened in the past two days has slightly changed my mind."

I looked at him, waiting for Hurtok to continue.

"Whether it's solving the Blackthorn Death Curse or finding the sealed prison here, the amount of information you know far exceeds that of ordinary people. So, I thought, instead of searching for Paris's traces aimlessly like the Dead Born, it would be better to let you help." Hurtok paused for a moment and continued, "Besides, Zero, you have the ability to attract people wherever you go. In this aspect alone, I am far behind you."

——Perhaps you are praising me too much, Hertok.

——You have to know that Ah Tui’s physique is such that any dog ​​would pounce on him and bite him a few times.

However, since Hertok said so, I readily agreed: "Don't worry, leave this matter to me!"

No matter how many Crucible Knights there are, if you look for them all, you will always find Paris!

...Unless, the old thief puts a few furnaces in the new DLC map, then I, who haven't played it yet, will be completely helpless.

I breathed a sigh of relief. Now that I was at Storm Hill, I might as well loot some things nearby.

I remember there should be star fragments - after arriving in Lienia and finding Lani, you can also exchange them with the old fox "Puppet Master" Serbia to summon puppets.

There is also a Far Arrow Amulet, which is better than nothing, and an ash item that summons Grek's soldiers nearby.

Just as I was wondering where to start, I heard the howling of wolves in the wind from the hills.

"Ouch——"

——So soon? I just finished complaining about Ah Dai’s unlucky physique, and now I’m going to encounter a pack of flying wolves again?

Hertok and I immediately became more alert.

But then, I heard a familiar voice again: "Quick, stop! Finn, Finlig, you, you are running in the wrong direction?! Stonewell is not over there."

······Hmm? Could it be Burke?

A white shadow suddenly jumped out from the dust and knocked me to the ground. The warm and wet feeling first rubbed my face, and then my legs and feet began to itch as if they were fanned by the fur, one after another.

I suddenly remembered the friend I met in the nearby forest cave: "Hahaha, hurry up, stop it, King of White Wolf."

A petite demi-human also jumped down from the wolf king's back. It turned out to be my tailor Parker: "Oh, Master Zero, Master Zero, I didn't expect you to be here. No wonder I couldn't stop Fenlig."

"Fenlig?"

"In our subhuman slang, Fenlig means a giant wolf, so I helped the White Wolf King think of a name." Burke seemed to remember something, and hurriedly said timidly, "Oh, excuse me, excuse me for presumptuous, the Wolf King is loyal to Master Zero, I, no, should not be the one to come up with a name for him."

"Huh? What does it matter?" I smiled and touched the wolf king's head. "As long as the wolf king likes it, that's fine, Fenlig."

The wolf king howled excitedly.

Now that I look closely, the King of White Wolves is indeed much bigger than when I left the coastal cave, and is almost as big as A-Tu.

No wonder Burke named it Fenrir... Not to mention, this name is quite similar to Fenrir, the giant wolf in Norse mythology who swallowed Odin, the king of gods.

"By the way, Burke, do you have something to talk to me about?" I was a little curious, after all, they seemed quite hurried just now.

Burke was about to speak, but when he saw Hurtok, he was so scared that he closed his mouth again and quickly shrank to the other side of the wolf king.

I smiled and said, "Don't worry, he is a companion I met in Stoneville. His name is Hurtok."

"Stonewell?! So, Lord Zero, did you really, really defeat that demigod?" Burke's eyes widened.

——The news spreads very quickly in your place. Did Kale tell them through some channel?

Burke also thought for a moment and continued to tell me: "Well, then, Lord Ling, please come back and help us... The big tree guard seems to be against us and is about to attack our cave!"
