Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

"Hey!" Seeing Lenya fall down, I hurried over.

But I didn't expect that when the Son of Platinum saw this, he actually jumped up, holding a big stick to protect her in front of her and not letting me get close.

——This guy, didn’t he just see me defeat Du Juan? Why is he turning his back on me now?

"I am not your enemy, let me pass."

"Wow! Wow wow wow!"

"······I want to help that girl. She might have lost too much blood and soon..."

"Wow wow wow!"

—Wow wow wow! Wow wow wow! You really think you are a frog, don’t you!

The fist is hard.

At this time, Melina suddenly reminded me: "Master Ling, perhaps you should put away your weapon first. These Platinum Sons are not good at understanding your language, and will judge the enemy based on their appearance."

Glancing at the blood-stained hound fang in my hand, I suddenly realized what was going on. I quickly put away the Great Curved Sword, took out the Red Dew Drop Holy Grail Bottle, and patiently explained, "This can heal wounds. Let me go over and heal that girl."

"Wow! Wow." Although the hostility had indeed decreased a little, the Son of Platinum was still relentless.

I can't help but sigh how important it is to meet someone with whom you can communicate in this land.

Got it!

I summoned a dagger from my blessing backpack, and then cut my palm in front of the Son of Platinum, letting him see blood dripping from my hand: "Watch this!"

With that, I drank from the Dew Drop Chalice Bottle.

The wound healed quickly and disappeared, causing the wise man's eyes to widen a little: "Wow?"

Then, I pointed at the chalice bottle and then at Lenya: "I want to give this to that girl to drink, understand?"

The Son of Platinum hesitated for a moment before giving way.

I walked closer to Lenia. Fortunately, her chest was still rising and falling, and she was still breathing. I fed the Dew Drop Holy Grail bottle to her mouth and told her with her eyes closed: "Lenia, this is a potion to heal your wounds. Drink it quickly."

"Well······"

After giving her four gulps of medicine, Lenia's frown finally relaxed a little.

The wounds on his body had also healed slightly, but after all, the recovery effect of the Dew Drop Holy Grail Bottle on the original creatures on the border ground was not as obvious as that of the Faded One, and it did not completely heal the other party.

However, seeing that Lenia's life was not in danger, the Platinum Son breathed a sigh of relief: "Wow~"

But what to do next?

Obviously, we can't just leave Lenya here and wait for Diaros to come find her, and there's no sign of that guy yet.

It would not be practical to take Lenya back to look for Diaros, as it would only be a waste of time like a headless fly.

The best thing to do is to leave her somewhere and wait for Diaros to find her.

But where can it be placed?

Stonewell? Or maybe just take him back to the Round Table?

······Considering that Diaros once said that Lenia was a nosy person who could not sit still, and judging from what happened just now, it was not difficult to guess that she had gotten into trouble between Dujuan and the Son of Platinum.

If we leave her alone in an environment where no one is watching her, she will probably run away after waking up, and all our efforts will be in vain.

——The more I think about it, the more trouble it becomes. I really have picked up a hot potato.

Overall, we need someone who has some free time and is a bit capable of managing things to look after Lenia until Diaros comes to take her away. It would be best if that person is still in Lienia...

So which unlucky guy can help me take over this difficult potato?

······

"······So, you bastard, who are you saying is idle all day long? I am very busy all day long." Under the sunlight, Patch's bald head looked more angry than a cooked egg.

"Oh, just do me a favor. What a bad luck... Good Pachi." I smiled and comforted him.

But when Patch heard this, he almost jumped up in anger: "Okay, you still want to say that I am unlucky, right!"

"In all conscience, this is impossible!"

"Wow wow wow--" On the other side, the Son of Platinum who was running after me suddenly let out a frightened cry.

When he turned around, he saw Laya curiously approaching him and the still unconscious Lenia, and of course she was looking at the Son of Platinum with more curiosity.

"Laya, you can't eat the Son of Platinum." I couldn't help but remind her.

Laya's face slightly turned red, and she said angrily: "Zero, you are so rude! Of course I know he can't eat! I'm just curious if he won't beat us?"

——Oh, sorry, sorry, I subconsciously thought that you were going to show your snake instinct again and prepare to swallow the frog.

I quickly apologized to Laya: "I'm sorry. However, it seems that Lenia helped this son of platinum, and I also helped them, so he has no hostility."

"Don't change the subject." Patch pulled me over, "What do you think this place is, you bastard? A nursery? One isn't enough and you stuffed another one in there!"

"Wait, you took Laya away by yourself, it's none of my business!" I immediately retorted.

“·······One thing at a time!”

"Don't be so picky." I interrupted Patch again, "To tell you the truth, this girl is Diaros Khosrow's follower and his childhood sweetheart!"

"Who?" Patch looked confused.

"Don't worry about who it is. You just need to know that Khosrow is a very powerful family. If you can establish a good relationship with them and do business with them, you will make a lot of money!"

Upon hearing this, Patch hesitated: "This..."

"Khosrow? Hmm... I seem to have heard Tanis say that Yuno Khosrow was indeed a very powerful warrior, but it's a pity... Alas~" Laya actually imitated her mother's words and sighed.

"How is it? I won't lie to you, will I?" I raised my eyebrows at Patch. "Don't worry, I have left Runwen on the road that Khosrow must pass through. I will guide him to come here to find the person. It won't take more than two or three days, the person should be here."

Of course, in order to prevent revealing too much information, I left a message next to the map stone tablet of the lake area:

——Patch Handyman Shop welcomes you to visit. We accept no requests for transactions or finding people.

——Location: Towards the southern lake island.

"Okay, I'll help you again." Patch sighed and stretched out his hand, "Tip for the service, five hundred runes."

"Oh my god, this is called helping?"

"Everyone knows whether what you bring to me will be another kind of trouble! Besides, old friend, the people you brought are covered in wounds. Are you really going to just leave them here and not care about anything?!"

······I have nothing to say about this.

But when I touched my chest, I found that my runes were only in the tens.

Wait, there it is!

I took out the five festering bloody fingers that White Mask gave me from my blessing backpack and said, "Hey, I'll give you this as collateral. You can use it to buy it. You're welcome."

"······Where did you get so many of these things?" Patch's expression changed slightly, and he seemed to be more horrified.

"The one you gave me last time gave birth to a baby, that's all."

As soon as I finished speaking, the horror on my face turned into an expression of concern for the mentally retarded.

Laya came over curiously: "Baby? Where is the baby?"

"Ahem, don't listen to your nonsense." Patch put away his festering bloody finger and turned his head curiously to ask, "What about you? You can't even wait two or three days. What are you going to do?"

I pointed to the golden tree on the west bank of Lienia and said, "I plan to go to Kalia Castle to see if there are any clues to enter the magic academy."

——This is a lie!

——Of course I went to find the eldest wife of the star A-Tai, Lani~

But her affairs cannot be spoken casually, so as to avoid exposure and threatening the development of future events.

Just after I finished speaking, I felt a pair of bright eyes coming towards me, and I quickly dissuaded her, "Laya, you can't come with me this time."

"Why?" Laya tilted her head, "I want to continue to witness Zero's battle, so as to prove to Lady Tanis that you are a true warrior!"

——Hey, why is this place different from the plot? Shouldn't I be told to challenge the Great Earth Dragon and go to the Yatan Plateau?

I really don’t understand what this little head is thinking about?

But I could clearly feel that Patch's eyes were staring at me, warning me not to cause him any more trouble.

"... Well, let's do this, Laya." I came up with a delaying tactic. "There's a battle festival in Gaileyd that will probably be held in ten days. I'll be back here in about five days and take you there, how about that? And Patch, of course."

"Don't drag me into everything, you bastard!" Patch couldn't help but punch me.

But from his neither too heavy nor too light strength, I could understand that this guy actually wanted to go.

After all, the Red Lion City should now gather most of the Faded People from the three lands of Lienia, Nimgfu and Galid, which is a great opportunity to do business.

If I agree to go with him, it will naturally reduce the wind and ease the burden on Patch.

Laya's eyes sparkled with excitement: "Really?"

"A man of honor, once he's spoken, can't take it back! If you don't believe me, let's pinky promise!" I held out the little finger of my left hand.

Laya looked at it curiously, then looked at my face, confusion written all over her face.

- Wait, miss, stop drooling! You don't think I want to give you my pinky, do you?

——Thinking about it carefully, the festering bloody finger does seem to be Ah Tui's finger. In these messy cultures in the border area, could there be some tradition of eating fingers during battles?

I quickly pulled up Laya's left hand, hooked her little finger, and said with a smile: "So, we have made a contract. As I just said, I will never betray you until I die, Laya."

After hearing this, Laya's little face blossomed like an innocent child: "Yes! I believe you, Zero."
