Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

——"... Tomorrow morning, when Lord Roger wakes up, you two should leave this village as soon as possible. It's too dangerous."

Miss Jiusi's words before she left kept me awake all night.

——What does she mean?

According to what Miss Jiusi said before, in order to save her companions and to lift the curse on her body, she had to obey the people of Windmill Village to seduce the Faded Ones passing by here, and there might be other people, such as the battlefield magician defeated by Roger.

But, she asked us to leave at the end... Was it because she felt guilty? Or did she have other intentions?

In addition, there is another point that deserves attention.

Millicent and Pollyanna believed that there was some poison in the flower wine brought out by Miss Jus, which was why it bewitched "Big Horn" Telages and made him fall into a trap.

But Miss Jiusi said that flower wine could delay the curse she suffered and was a detoxifying drink.

······Of course, I also had a drink or two, but I didn’t feel anything special.

If I had to say it, it made Miss Jiusi look even more charming. Of course, I'm not sure if it was due to the atmosphere at the time or the effect of the wine.

In short, this windmill village may be hiding a huge secret, a secret that I have not been able to explore clearly in the game.

——After all, A'ti was just going to fight some monsters and challenge the BOSS, the Divine Skin Apostle, at the entrance of the village.

In addition, we must find a way to rescue the "Big Horned Brother" Telages, and if possible, rescue Misjus's companions as well.

To sum up, I naturally have only one answer.

When I woke up in the morning, I felt a little dizzy and swollen in the head. I touched it gently... Oh my god, there was really a big swelling! I don't know if this swelling can be reduced after contacting the blessing.

When I walked out of the room, Roger seemed to have gone downstairs.

When I came to the living room, I saw this guy lying on the table like a mangy dog, looking listless.

"How much did you drink last night? Are you hungover?" I walked forward with a smile.

Roger raised five fingers weakly.

"You're already down after just five cups? Brother Jie, can you do it?"

"You haven't even had a sip yet you have the nerve to laugh at me." Roger raised his eyes, as if rolling his eyes at me, "... So, Zero, have you heard?"

"Are you referring to the matter of Miss Jiusi?"

He nodded.

"So, you want to help her?"

"Of course. Such a lovely lady is being threatened. How can I tolerate such a thing happening right before my eyes!" Roger was filled with indignation.

I also smiled and said, "Since you have this plan, I will also get involved."

"Zero..." Roger looked at me, his back gradually straightened, his face full of awe, then he suddenly jumped up, hooked his arm around my neck, and led me down with a smile, "You really are worthy of being the great hero of Stonewell. I knew you would think the same as I do."

"Let go, you drunkard!" I pulled Roger's arm, which made him laugh out loud.

Perhaps our noisy voices woke Miss Jiusi up, and she just happened to come down from upstairs: "You two."

"Miss Jiusi." Roger immediately let go of my neck, stood up, and greeted me with a smile, "Zero and I have thought it through. We will definitely help you bring your companions back from the hands of those villagers."

Misjius widened her eyes in surprise: "Really?!"

"Yeah!" Roger turned his head to seek my agreement, "Right, old friend."

"That's true, but we have to figure out what happened in Windmill Village and come up with a plan." I responded in a templated manner.

But Miss Jiusi shook her head and said, "Lord Roger, Lord Ling, thank you for your kindness, but...but they have too many people, and there are gods in this windmill village. We, we can't be his opponents at all."

"God?" Roger and I looked at each other.

——······It’s impossible. I clearly remember that the final BOSS of Windmill Village was just a skinny apostle.

It must be the opponent's powerful strength that caused Miss Jiusi to misunderstand.

Roger smiled and consoled her, "Don't worry, we have a godslayer here! To be honest, my old friend, Misjius, defeated the 'demigod' Greg, and even challenged the strongest demigod, 'Starbreaker' Latan! Even a real god is no problem for him."

——······Don’t compliment me too much, Brother Jie!

——At this point, if some god-like person like Radagon or the beast of Marathon really came, I would be beaten into a pig’s head.

But under Miss Jiusi's worried and slightly hesitant eyes, I could only nod first: "As long as we get enough information in advance, it is indeed possible to challenge the so-called gods. In short..."

Before he could finish his words, suddenly, there was a faint sound of gongs and drums celebrating outside the window, which seemed to come from the big windmill on the top of the hill.

"What's going on?" Roger couldn't help but want to walk to the window to check the situation.

But Miss Jiusi trembled slightly, and murmured: "Celebration, celebration, yes, the celebration has begun!"

"celebration?"

"Then, that god must have known that you two are still in the village, so he is here to arrest you!" Miss Jiusi took Roger's hand and said anxiously, "I, Miss Jiusi Rod, appreciate your kindness, but please leave as soon as possible! This place is too dangerous! That is the god who reaps death, and he is not an ordinary opponent!"

“Miss Jiusi!” Roger stubbornly pulled her into his arms, holding up the girl’s anxiously red face, “Don’t be afraid, please trust us a little more! Don’t you want your companions to come back?”

"I······"

"Anyway, I will find a way to deal with that god. Roger, you just need to protect Miss Jiusi." I also drew out the Night Starfire and pretended to be confident. "As for the other unknown people, even if there are a hundred of them, I will kill them all."

"... In that case, I have a solution, both of you." Seeing that we had made up our minds, Miss Jiusi sighed slightly. She rummaged through the boxes and finally took out a jar of flower wine. She placed the cups on the table and poured the wine while explaining quickly, "The god doesn't seem to be very sensitive to the fragrance of the flowers in Windmill Village. In other words, we can use flower wine to cover up the smell... In addition, the curse on me is caused by him. Flower wine can suppress the curse, and naturally it can also suppress the opponent's power."

——I remember that the only ability of the Divine Skin Messenger should be the use of black flames.

——This ability was passed down from them because they had once followed the goddess with the night-colored eyes and used the destined death to fight. Now the destined death was sealed by the beast sacrifice, and the black and red fire faded to black and white.

——And this curse... could it be a special ability in reality?

Roger and I looked at each other, and then we followed Miss Jiusi and drank the three cups of wine on the table.

Wow, it’s so intense!

It was even stronger than what I drank last night. After taking a sip, my heart felt like a volcano was about to erupt. My whole body became hot, especially my face, which was hot and itchy.

And at this moment, the sound of the celebration was getting closer and closer to us.

I could already hear laughter in my ears, which was even more terrifying than the one in the game.

Hehehe——Hehehe~
