Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

Under the guidance of Senior Bernal, I improved the posture and movements of the combined combat skill "Wolf Attack Blood Dance" several times. After practicing more, the success rate of my performance gradually increased to more than half.

Now that you’ve accomplished everything, it’s time to return home and get ready to explore new areas!

"Hey, Brother Ling, you're back."

"Diros, you are well-informed. How did you know that I learned a new combat skill?"

“…Ah? Well, congratulations then.”

······

"Master Zero, you're back! Master Edson has arranged for us..."

"Burke! How do you know I learned new fighting skills? Hey, I told Deros to keep a low profile~"

"Eh? Master Ling, have you become stronger again? That's amazing!"

"Hahaha, low-key, low-key."

······

For a moment, from the outer entrance of Stonewell to the central square of Stonewell, I could feel the constant respect and admiration cast upon me.

I guess they must have known that I developed a powerful combination of combat skills. My current strength is more than enough to deal with a little Ge, wow haha~

"Lord Zero, you are here. I was just looking for you." It was Edson's voice.

"Edson, do you also know me..." I turned around with a smile on my face, and was about to show off to him, but I caught a glimpse of Hertok beside him, and my voice subconsciously stopped.

Confusion crossed Edson's face. "Know what? What happened?"

“No, no…” I shook my hands quickly, but Burke, who came with me, said excitedly, “Master Ling has learned some very powerful fighting skills. He is stronger than before!”

"Oh~" Hurtok looked at me meaningfully, "Isn't that great? If there's a chance, I'd like to have a formal competition with you, Zero."

"I'm sorry, I've been too arrogant recently. I will change it now!" I immediately bent down and bowed to apologize, all in one go.

Ask me why I apologize?

——That means there is no good way to deal with the Crucible Knight!

I remember in the game, I had just used the first part of the hound's combat skill to gain distance, and then my feet shook, the ground cracked and I lost my balance, and then the hound's head was chopped off;

If I go straight up to the second stage, the Crucible Knight will use his large shield to block the attack and then continue to chop my dog ​​head.

Although Wolf Raid Blood Dance's burst is very strong now, I'm afraid the result will be the same when facing this group of heavy armor furnaces and his big shield.

——The best way to deal with these tough dogs is to block and parry, but this is my weakness!

"Okay, you two should stop making so much noise." Edson sighed slightly. He was quite familiar with my playful personality. "Master Ling, I want to entrust you with a task."

"Hmm? What's going on?"

"You know the Lord of Morn, Edgar, right?" After seeing me nod, Edson continued, "The Weeping Peninsula is in chaos right now, and there are constant reports of hybrids invading Nimgfu... After dealing with the Face of the Dead Prince, I think we need to focus on solving the problems there first."

——The Weeping Peninsula is on the south side of Nimgfu. If what Edson said is true, could those hybrids threaten Teacher Serlian who is close to the south side?

I quickly asked, "What's the specific situation over there?"

"I have discussed this with Lord Kenneth via correspondence. We will first dispatch the troops stationed nearby. Lord Kenneth will also go there in person to guard the Sacrifice Bridge. This is not a big problem."

After Edson finished speaking, Hertok followed up by saying, "I will also go to support you during this period, so you don't have to worry too much, Zero."

As soon as Hertok said this, the stone in my heart fell to the ground completely.

...Ah, it can’t land completely.

That fire maniac has left traces of his actions on the Weeping Peninsula. If he interferes again, it will be quite troublesome.

Thinking of this, I reminded Hurtok: "When I went to the Weeping Peninsula, I heard that there was an outbreak of epilepsy there. Hurtok, you have to be careful."

"I also heard about this from the soldiers who retreated from the Weeping Peninsula. It is indeed worth noting." Edson also made suggestions to Hertok, "Perhaps, when you go to sacrifice the bridge, you can bring the soldiers guarding the outer wall gate with you."

Hurtok nodded: "I understand."

"So, my commission should be to find Edgar, right?" I asked.

Edson stroked his beard and said, "Recently, there are rumors that the adult has been seen in the Lienia Lake area, and he is still looking for his daughter... If it weren't for the sudden riot of the hybrids, the mayor of Morn City has always been good at governing, and he is more familiar with the Weeping Peninsula than we are. If we can find it, it will be just a matter of time before we can retake Morn City."

——This is also out of respect for Edgar. What was lost was taken back by him personally.

——Besides, I have to tell Edgar the truth about Irena.

"Understood. I'll take the commission!" I patted my chest. "It just so happens that I'm planning to go to Lienia. If I find Edgar, I'll bring him back first. If you guys get any news first... um, how should we contact you?"

I was stuck for a moment. After all, I usually travel alone and have no experience. Now I suddenly need to exchange information remotely. What should I do?

You can't really rely on "fallen leaves bringing messages".

"There are specially trained birds between Master Kenneth and I, but if Master Ling's position is not fixed, it would be difficult to convey information." Edson also stroked his beard, feeling troubled.

"Me! Me! Me!" Burke suddenly raised his hands excitedly, "With Fenlig and I, we will definitely find Lord Zero!"

"Fenlig is?"

I smiled and said, "Fenlig is a white wolf king. You should have met him when you came here."

Edson suddenly realized, "If it's a wolf, it will work. But Lienia is also full of dangers. Is Burke really okay?"

"Well! Fenlig is very smart, and I also know some hidden magic, I can definitely help Lord Zero!" Burke also became much more confident.

——Speaking of concealment, I immediately thought of the mimic veil, but when I thought about it carefully, using the veil would consume concentration, and I don’t know if Burke can do it.

Moreover, the demi-human's tree-transforming magic is indeed quite good. In the game, Burke also relied on his own efforts to follow Adie all the way to the royal city, so I should give him more trust.

"Then I'll leave it to you and Fenlig, Burke." I patted Burke on the back, and Burke responded happily.

"Okay, without further ado, I'll send you all off now, hoping to meet Edgar sooner rather than later." Although I already have a destination in mind, I should have changed Edgar's story line a little bit. I can only hope that nothing goes wrong with Edgar.

Pass through Stonewell's royal throne, walk through several empty rooms, and go down the ladder to find Stonewell's back door, which leads directly to the Lienia Lake area.

——Suddenly I felt something was a little strange. Why was there a direct path from behind the throne to Lienia? If the enemy attacked from this side, wouldn't they be able to go straight to Huanglong and kill the Storm King?

······Forget it, the construction and design of the castle has nothing to do with a layman like me.

Let's just look at the clear sky, my friends. A thin layer of mist is covering the vast lake area. Even as soon as you leave Stonewell, you can vaguely see the towering magic academy located in the center of the lake area.

Go through Lienia and head straight to the west lakeside. Go all the way to the end and you will reach Kalia Castle and find the "Dark Moon Princess" Lani!

——For Lani, I turned into a werewolf~For Lani, I got infected with...

"Hello, is anyone there?"

Just when I was excitedly about to call up my spirit horse and set off on my journey, I heard a young girl's soft voice calling me, which made my heart suddenly tighten.

——Could this voice be... No, it can't be?
