Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

Thanks for the treat, prawns are really delicious!

After eating and drinking, I asked Brother Xia, "Brother Xia, you have lived here for a long time, right? Do you know where the map tablets of Lienia are?"

——Of course, I know the approximate locations of the three stone tablets.

But in reality, Lienya is mostly shrouded in a light haze unless it is noon, making it impossible to tell the direction.

What's more, I haven't even got a piece of the map yet. Once I locate it in my mind, I feel like I'm stuck in a paste.

The damn ghostly enemies prevented me from even getting the initial piece of the east coast map after entering the lake area from Stonewell.

Oh, this time when I returned to the hall, I forgot to find Teacher Colin to learn the prayer - recovery. However, even if I learned it, I don’t have the faith foundation to release it. For a while, I still can’t do anything about those bastard ghosts.

Brother Xia glanced at me and said, "There are three stone tablets in Lienia. The first one..."

"Ah, just tell me the area closest to here, which is roughly in the direction of the college." I interrupted the other party and modified my question.

So, Brother Xia stretched out his hand towards the plateau under the sky that looked like a giant wall, pointing in the direction of the Royal City of Rodel.

There, the golden tree seemed to support the entire sky at the junction.

"Keep walking in the direction of that tree. Find the remains of the broken bridge leading from Rhea Lukalia College to the east bank of the lake. Then follow that path and you should be able to find the stone tablet."

"Thank you, Brother Xia!" I immediately summoned Torrett and prepared to set off.

Brother Xia suddenly asked again: "Aren't you going to look for that woman?"

"Who?" I was full of questions.

——After all, I belong to Meimei and my heart belongs to Lani, so which other woman could I choose?

“... that greedy guy.”

A drooling little greedy snake appeared in my mind. How could I forget my little cutie Laya!

However, since we are still in Lienia, it is not the time for Laya to get into trouble.

I asked curiously, "Laya, what happened to her?"

Brother Xia stirred the fire and said coldly, "After following you that day, the woman seemed to have lost you and came back to look for you... So the bald guy asked her to go back to the pavilion first, saying that he and I would help, and when we see you, we'll ask you to go find her."

After listening to what Brother Xia said, I became confused again.

—Followed me that day? Which day?

——······This won’t be the day when I duel with Edgar who is infected with insanity!

No wonder I felt like someone was watching me when I left. It turned out to be the cute Laya. I thought I was being watched by some pervert.

Brother Xia paused and said, "I have received the money and delivered the message. However, I still want to remind you... that woman is not as simple as she looks. You'd better be careful now that you have been entangled with her."

"Thanks for the reminder." I couldn't help but smile.

"It's nothing. I just want to nag you since you also like to eat shrimps." After saying that, Brother Shrimp dusted his hands and urged me to leave.

——Brother Xia naturally had good intentions. After all, even I, when I met Laya with a pale face, bent body and bowed head at the beginning of the game, and she said that she wanted the Ah Dai to kill each other, I thought this guy was a weirdo with ulterior motives.

But when I think of Laya's greedy look and drooling, the little cutie is really just adorable.

The reason why he speaks strangely is because he was taught by the Volcano Official Residence that A-Tu was encouraged to betray the Golden Rule. Rather than saying that he has other bad thoughts, it is better to say that he has a kind of innocence that has not been tainted by the mundane world.

However, Laya wants to see me at this time, probably to get me to join the Volcano Residence.

According to Brother Xia, Patch is still with Laya, so there is no need to rush to meet him.

I drove the Torret and followed the direction indicated by Brother Xia, and indeed found a map stone tablet.

After it was lit up, the entire lake area, like a sapphire inlaid in the mist, spread out in my mind.

——Oh! It feels so good to have GPS positioning. Finally, I don’t have to worry about getting lost for no reason.

So what should we do next?

There are still about ten days left until the battle festival of Gaileed. I have to go to Kalia Castle first to look for Lani... By the way, I remember Diaros' childhood sweetheart, Lenya. In the game, she fell on the largest piece of land in the nearby ruins.

Now that you're here, do you want to go and take a look?

If I can catch up, it can be regarded as a small favor to Diaros, and it may even change his fate...

——Ah, but if it’s the same as Irena’s time, and I fail to catch up, and someone sees me next to the girl’s body, will it cause other misunderstandings?

I was a little hesitant, and walked slowly holding Torret's hand.

puff--

Suddenly, there was a sound of water spraying.

I subconsciously turned my head to dodge, and saw a stream of silver-gray water flying past my ear.

Around us, several round figures appeared out of nowhere and surrounded Torrett and me.

——It's those frog-faced platinum sons! This is their territory!

puff--

Suddenly, several more jets of water sprayed towards me and Torrett.

"Run, Torret!"

"Whoa--" Torrett immediately spread out his four legs.

But I saw three or two Sons of Platinum in front of me formed a human wall, trying to block our way, shaking the long iron hooks in their hands, trying to hook the horses' legs and stop me?

Think beautiful!

I squeezed my legs together, and Torrett immediately made two light jumps and jumped directly over the heads of these little silver potatoes.

Seeing this, these guys started to chase after me and Torrett again.

But when it comes to racing, how can you be a match for Torrett?

"You, you brainless rotten bastards! Are you really willing to be treated like a slave? Even though you have been bullied to the point of being bullied, do you still want to follow these stinky birds?"

"You stinky woman, you talk so much nonsense!"

"What are you still standing there for? Do you want to be beaten? Come on, fuck her!"

Just as I was about to pull the reins and let Torrett take me away with all his strength, I suddenly heard a quarrel.

Turning around, I saw two Cuckoo Knights with a dozen Sons of Platinum surrounding a woman and another Son of Platinum on an open space made of ruins.

The woman looked wounded. The chain mail on her body was full of tears, and the exposed brown skin underneath was covered with bloodstains.

——Could she be Diaros’ childhood sweetheart, Lenya? I actually bumped into her?!

Holding a dagger in her hand, Lenia stood back to back with the other Son of Platinum who was holding a big stick. They saw the encirclement getting tighter and tighter. The weapons in the opponent's hands flashed silver and formed a high wall, making it impossible for them to escape.

But she did not give in at all, and kept persuading the Sons of Platinum: "Think about how they treat you normally? They treat you as laborers and order you around at will; when they are unhappy, they take you out on you and beat you at will; they even kill your companions. Do some research just to get the Platinum Blood... You guys, don't you really have any will to resist? Sons of Platinum, are you so spineless?!"

"Stop talking nonsense and make her shut up!" The Cuckoo Knight sounded very impatient, but in fact he must be enjoying the pleasure of watching his prey struggling to death while he can make the annoying thing disappear just by talking.

"If you want people to shut up, why don't you do it yourself?"

"Huh?" The other party looked back in surprise.

I also slashed a Cuckoo Knight with my sword, causing him to tilt his body and fall out.

Then, Torrett rushed towards the Sons of Platinum in front as fiercely as a chariot.

Although it was only strengthened once, I could clearly feel that the fangs were sharper, and I could chop them as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

——Xiu Gu’s skills are truly amazing!

In the blink of an eye, the encirclement was torn apart by us.

Seeing this, Lenia also shouted at me, "Good hero, go and deal with those two stinky birds first. The rest of the Sons of Platinum are just following their orders, so just drive them away!"

The seriously injured Cuckoo Knight was struggling to stand up and stared at me fiercely: "Where did this guy come from?"

"This, this Faded One, seems to be the bastard who caused a scene in our town stronghold last time!" But the other Dujuan seemed to recognize me.

I smiled and said, "Oh, you still remember me! Has your Fiery Chariot been refreshed? If it has, I'll go pick it up right away!"

After saying that, I suddenly jumped up from Torret's back, and using its momentum, I made a super jump attack towards the two Cuckoo Knights.

The guy, who was already injured, couldn't dodge at all.

When the other cuckoo saw its companion fall down, it turned around in panic and wanted to run away.

Unfortunately, Torrett had already taken the lead. As soon as he turned around, he was kicked from behind by Torrett.

I also took his life.

The Son of Platinum who was standing on Lenia's side screamed loudly.

When the other Sons of Platinum saw Dujuan fall, they seemed to have lost their will to fight.

Even the guys who were chasing me and Torrett stopped and stood there stupidly with their weapons, not knowing what to do next.

“······T-that’s great. Thank you very much, hero.”

Suddenly, I heard a fall.

Looking back, I saw that Lenia had fallen to the ground, and the Son of Platinum had thrown himself beside her, crying and wailing incomprehensibly.
