Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

The negotiations went unexpectedly smoothly.

After I took the Scepter of Kalia, which symbolizes the supreme leader of the Magic Academy, and went with Lenia to find the captured Son of Platinum, their attitude obviously changed greatly.

Of course, he didn't turn to us immediately.

"Wow, wow, wow!" Franken, the son of platinum, who had originally stood on our side, acted as the middleman and conveyed the words of his companions.

"Let me explain it to you." A little blue light flashed in Lenia's eyes. Her originally energetic face turned cold in an instant, with a hint of sadness between her brows.

"Le, Letina?" I asked tentatively.

The other party immediately bowed to me and said, "Master Ling, I am sorry that I was unable to greet you in time."

"It's not a big deal... But what's going on between you and Lenya?" I was quite surprised. I never thought that ashes could be used in this way. Is this a possession?!

——Ah, of course, the real Letina is not a skeleton in the strict sense. She also said that her existence is closer to Melina.

"Miss Lenia and I have a good compatibility. Besides, she also wants to learn from me the language and knowledge about the Sons of Platinum, so when necessary, she will lend her body to me temporarily." Lenia explained briefly.

——Is it still possible to play like this?! Then when I obtain the ashes of Big Sister Black Knife, won’t I be able to learn some body movements from her?!

——I have to ask Little Red Riding Hood Roderica about this matter, I’ve made a note of it.

"Let's get back to the topic here." Letina translated the words of the Platinum Son, "Master Zero, my compatriots have made some demands, Master Zero."

"Hmm? Tell me first."

"Whaaaaaaaaaa? Whaaaaaaaaaaa?"

"They asked about the Queen's current condition. Where is she? Is she okay?"

"To be honest, the Full Moon Queen has now left Rhea Lukalia and returned to Kalia Castle." I have nothing to hide, so I'll just say it straight.

"Wow, wow wow."

"Well, we'd like to meet her."

"This..." To be honest, under normal circumstances, the Full Moon Queen is still in a state of dementia, and she may not be able to respond to the Son of Platinum when she meets him.

Besides, this place is quite far away from Kalia Castle. By the time the Sons of Platinum slowly walk over, the war may have already ended.

But Iggy agreed, and told him my worries: "We are all citizens of Kalia. I will arrange for you to meet the Queen. However, this place is far away from the fortress, and the situation on the battlefield is unpredictable. You have to manage the time yourself."

Letina translated Iggy's words to the Sons of Platinum.

They immediately started discussing it with great enthusiasm.

Finally, Franken summarized everyone's comments and told Letina: "Wow, wow, wow, wow."

"As for the audience with the Queen, we can send a representative from among us first."

“Wow wow wow… wow wow wow wow!”

"Also, because we were ordered not to enter the magic academy, we don't know what happened inside... If the Cuckoo Knights really betrayed the Queen, we will persuade our compatriots to join you in defeating the Queen's enemies!" Letina paused and explained to me, "Lord Zero, I'm afraid what this means is that they hope we can bring one of them into the academy."

Uh...it's not that difficult. After all, I have already lit up the blessing point inside, so I can just teleport in through the blessing.

——But, if this is done, Melina's existence will be exposed to others. I wonder if Meimei will agree.

"That is to say, we need someone who can infiltrate the Cuckoo Legion and bring the Son of Platinum into the academy." Nefeli came up with a new idea.

And Servis added casually: "If he can really sneak in, I hope he can bring back some information about the sealed door... This way, it will speed up our progress in breaking the seal."

As he said this, the old man turned his head meaningfully and looked towards me.

As a result, everyone's attention was focused on it.

——······Huh? Could it be me? !

"No, that's not possible. I made a lot of noise in Dujuan's camp before, they will definitely recognize me." I quickly declined this difficult task.

"But if we talk about who knows the situation inside Rhea Lukalia Academy best, it must be Lord Zero, right?" This guy Servis always feels like he is deliberately trying to trip me up.

"..."

Before I could say anything, Nepheli smiled and patted my shoulder, saying, "Zero, don't worry. We can discuss this matter carefully."

——Let’s discuss it?

I could already feel my eyelids trembling slightly. These demons must be planning in their minds how to send the lamb obediently into the wolf's mouth!

Nepheli clapped her hands and called a soldier: "Go prepare a few sets of Dujuan armor and clothing. We have killed so many Dujuan, there should be a complete set left on the battlefield."

——Well, they are still the clothes of a dead person... But if I have to say it, all my equipment seems to belong to a dead person as well.

Just as I was complaining in my heart, I suddenly noticed Nepheli's gaze. She was staring at me.

“······What, what’s wrong?” I felt a little guilty.

"Zero, how long have you not taken care of your hair and beard?"

"... I vaguely remember that it seemed that the last time Edson was planning to nominate me as the Storm King, he secretly tidied it up for me while I was sleeping." I explained everything in detail.

"Huh? Wasn't that after we defeated Greg?"

"We warriors don't need to take care of ourselves. It's not like we have to..." Under Nepheli's gaze, I swallowed the thought of "falling in love" back into my stomach.

She smiled and patted my shoulder: "As long as you shave off your messy hair and beard, your image will be greatly changed."

······I knew it!

"Leave this matter to me! I will definitely defeat Lord Zero beautifully!" Hearing such interesting things, Lenya's main consciousness raised her hand again and emerged.

"Well, there's no need to look pretty." My eyelids twitched faster. "I'm not Tang Monk. I have to wash myself clean before being steamed and eaten."

Everyone looked puzzled.

——These bastards don’t understand my jokes!

"However, Lord Ling, I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing that Dujuan can recognize your appearance." Iggy said suddenly.

It made me frown.

——What kind of nonsense is this? If I were recognized by someone in the Dujuan Army, wouldn’t I be chopped into pieces? !

"You said that among the Mad Fire Ones, there is a person who looks similar to you," Iggy explained. "Besides, you also said that there is a conspiracy of the Mad Fire Ones behind Du Juan this time. Maybe, in the eyes of the Du Juans, you and that person are the same existence?"

······Ah, it seems to make sense!

"Of course, this is also a gamble. Please don't try it unless it's absolutely necessary."

After Iggy finished speaking, Nefeli patted my shoulder again and said, "Okay, okay, Zero will definitely consider this matter himself. Now, what we need to think about is how to send him to Dujuan's camp beautifully."

And I couldn't say anything anymore.

——Traitors, everyone here is a traitor!

——If the plan fails, one day I will throw all of you into the West Lake to feed the fish!
