Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

As Darriwell was defeated, the walls of the entire prison were lit up with magical light, which hurt people's eyes.

A moment later, a breeze blew across my cheek.

When I opened my eyes, it was already sunset and the entire hillside was dyed orange.

The "half-wolf" Blaze stood at the place where his comrade had died, holding a puppet of Lani's original appearance in his hand, looking up at the dazzling golden tree, and said nothing for a long time.

"Brother Wolf." I broke the silence and threw the Red Dettol Holy Grail bottle over.

Blaze came back to his senses, took it, and asked curiously, "What is this?"

"Drink it, it will heal your wounds."

"Thank you very much." After Blaze drank it all in one breath, his wound only healed a little.

——Sure enough, when I give it to others, the effect is not as obvious as it is for me. It may be because the blessings they have received are different.

Blaze handed the Holy Grail bottle back to me and rummaged in his pocket again: "By the way, thank you very much for this time, Zero. This is the thank-you gift I mentioned before, take it."

In his hand he held a snow-white stone, which, if he remembered correctly, was a faded forging stone.

"No thanks. After all, I barely helped." I shook my head.

"Oh, by the way, you just said that what you wanted was Darriwell's weapon, right?" Blaze seemed to suddenly realize something, and he gently clenched his left hand. The faint blue light gathered and condensed into the hound's fang.

······Although, that’s not what I meant.

But, since you insist on giving me something, I won’t be polite: “Thank you very much, Brother Wolf.”

Blaze smiled and said, "Nothing. I don't have any use for that guy's knife, so it would be a waste if you gave it to me... By the way, you Faded Ones still have to continue your journey to pursue the magic ring, right?"

"······Won't you stop it? After all, Darriwell seems to think so too." I was a little confused.

Blaze shook his head: "You faded ones are different from that guy. You are not serving the princess, so it won't have any impact on us... However, I still want to remind you that this road is not easy to walk."

"There's nothing we can do. Since Queen Marika has called us back, it can be considered a mission for A-Ti." I spread my hands.

Well, even if I tell you now that I want to help Lani, Brother Wolf won’t believe it.

"That's true." Blaze carried the royal greatsword on his back. "Oh, by the way, there is one more thing... If you go north to Rhea Lukalia and see an old blacksmith who is quite large, you can tell him that I introduced you to him. He should give you some preferential treatment."

I nodded, "Master Iggy, right?"

Blaze's watery wolf eyes suddenly widened: "How did you know? Could it be that you already know him?"

Uh, déjà vu.

They are truly a master and servant, making the same mistake.

I explained, "You accidentally said that when you were fighting Darriwell just now, and I thought it must be the same old man."

"...Did I really say that?" Blaze scratched his face awkwardly and sighed, "I accidentally said too much again. No wonder that Serbia guy always told me to be careful and not to betray Princess La..."

Very good, Brother Wolf, it turns out you are still a big sieve.

You almost exposed all four members of the team, although three and a half have already been exposed!

"Cough! Cough!" Blaze pretended to cough lightly to cover up his mistake, "It's time to say goodbye, Zero."

"Wait a minute, Brother Wolf, I have a small request...ah, it may be quite big, do you still have time?" I stopped him quickly. Since we are already close to the Weeping Peninsula, we might as well give it a try to see if we can change the future a little bit!

Blaze was a little confused: "Tell me what you want to hear first."

"I want to protect someone over there on the Weeping Peninsula, but I'm afraid I can't do it on my own. I can't be in two places at once, so..." I added, "Of course, this person should have nothing to do with you."

Brother Wolf pondered for a moment, then turned his head and looked towards the peninsula in the south: "I heard from Kale that it's quite chaotic over there. It's really not easy to protect someone and get away..."

"She should be behind this bridge. She's not far away. Brother Wolf just needs to help me protect her for a while while I'm away."

"No problem!" Blaze agreed readily.

"Oh, really?"

"You've done me a big favor, so it's not really worth it if I just give you something you don't want."

"That's great, thank you, Brother Wolf."

"However, the sacrificial bridge is heavily guarded and ordinary people cannot get close to it. Do you have any solution?" What Blaze said made sense.

When I played the game for the first time, I walked over without thinking, and then was beaten up by a group of soldiers, and there were crossbows that were like cannons. Even Torrett suffered a lot with me.

However, they have another plan, but I have a way to get over the wall.

I patted my chest and said, "No problem at all. But, does Brother Wolf have any solution?"

"It should be fine once it gets a little darker." Blaze said confidently.

"Then let's compete to see who can reach the other side faster, how about that?"

"Oh? Interesting."

······

oooo~

As the night darkened, after hearing the first howl of a coyote, the two of us were fully prepared and headed for the Weeping Peninsula.

"Let's go! Torret!"

"Eh-"

I drove Torrett down the southwest slope from the sealed prison of the ownerless hound.

The mountain is roughly divided into three layers, like a cake cut diagonally:

There was nothing on the bottom level, only junk props and a circle of ambushing subhumans at the end;

The top floor is a prison;

If you run to the end of this middle layer, you will find a soul flow - this is a shortcut that I accidentally discovered when I was in the fifth or sixth round.

As a spiritual horse, Torret can ride on this rising air current and make a super leap!

"Now, get up!"

Facing the direction of the Weeping Peninsula, we suddenly jumped and a hurricane lifted us up as if we had grown wings.

"Wow ah-"

I couldn't help but shout out loud. It was like riding a roller coaster, and the strong wind from the drum made my eyes dry and sore.

After reaching the highest point, everything seemed to stop. I could even clearly hear the sound of the river flowing below me, and the shimmering waves like a pearl necklace in the night.

"Wow ah ah-"

After weightlessness, there is a rapid feeling of being overweight.

I hugged Torret's neck tightly, and then I began to fear that I would be thrown out.

Moreover, as I watched the ground getting closer and closer, I suddenly remembered a question - is there a Newton in the French Ring world? This height is comparable to jumping off a building. Even if Torret can withstand it, Ah Tai's fragile body will be broken -

In a trance, it seemed that a few blue-gray butterflies were flying around me.

When I opened my eyes again, Torrett had landed steadily on a stone pillar on the bank of the Weeping Peninsula.

Thorn, exciting!

Even a bit too much.

The first time I experienced it, I felt my heart was severely ravaged. Next time, let’s start with a simple airflow, like the one in front of the Sacrifice Bridge. It’s not bad, and you can also get a magic scroll.

Ah, come to think of it, I haven't got the magic wand yet.

Teacher Se Lian, I am so sorry. I have been too slow.

My chaotic heart finally calmed down. I suddenly remembered that I still had a competition with Wolf Brother, so I quickly asked Torrett to do a double jump along the nearby stone wall, climb to the top of the hill, and then continue forward.

Past this is the back of the Sacrifice Bridge.

Ah, Brother Wolf's figure was already standing by the roadside, which was exactly where Irena, the daughter of the mayor of Morn City in the Weeping Peninsula, was in the game Ring of France.

In the plot, she entrusts A-Tu to help deliver a letter to her father, the city lord, and then she is ambushed and killed by an unknown villain.

After this, Irena's body will be possessed by the three fingers of insane fire and she will be transformed into Haida, the witch with the three fingers of insane fire.

——The proof of this point is that someone used a piece of cloth given to the player by "White Mask" Van Lei and asked us to kill any finger witch, and Irena's blood was also certified by Van Lei.

However, now I have the help of "half-wolf" Blaze. When I go to deliver the letter, let's see who dares to touch her!

"Brother Wolf, you run so fast!" I waved and greeted him.

Blaze turned around quickly, whimpering and panicking: "Ah, ah, Zero, come here? I, I just ran around the shadows and came directly from the bridge. It's nothing."

This, it seems like we can’t simply say it’s nothing, was it so fast that the soldiers guarding the bridge didn’t even notice?

I couldn't help but laugh: "What's wrong? Why are you so flustered?"

"Don't come over here!" Blaze tried to block something with his body.

Unfortunately, I have already noticed:

——The city lord’s daughter, Irena, has died.
