Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

After climbing up the tower on the east side of the city wall of Moren, I saw a middle-aged man with messy hair and beard, wearing platinum armor. He was the city lord Edgar. There was no one else in sight.

Could it be that the person who killed Irena had already gone to the rear of Moren City and seized the treasure first?

As I guessed, I stepped forward and greeted him: "Excuse me, are you Edgar, the lord of Morn City?"

The uncle then raised his head, a hint of doubt in his worried expression: "It's me, but I don't think I've seen you before... Hmm? You are the Fader, right?"

I immediately became alert.

After all, the game explained that Edgar was ordered by "Limb Removal" Greg to manage Morn City. Greg was currently searching for the Faded Ones in the border area, cutting off their arms for evil rituals to strengthen himself.

Maybe he will follow Greg's instructions and become my enemy.

However, Edgar sighed and continued, "But you have also seen the current predicament of Morn City... All the servants have rebelled. I thought they would work peacefully, but it turned out to be just a trick."

He looked at the chaotic Moren City and clenched his fists involuntarily: "You are truly a defiler, even your heart is filthy... I feel very sorry for you. Even if you have any request, the current Moren City cannot respond."

Hmm? The plot here is not contrary to the game.

Could it be that Edgar doesn't know that Greg is capturing the Faded Ones?

In addition-

"I'm very sorry for what happened to you." I bowed slightly to show my apology. "But, I want to ask the city lord, when did the riot in Morn City start?"

"This should have been around midnight the day before yesterday."

The day before yesterday? So close!

But the old merchant on the outer wall of Morn City said that the other faded one with the memory of the plot of the Ring of Magic should have appeared seven or eight days ago. Could it be that he planned the riot?

I asked hurriedly, "During the past seven or eight days, have any suspicious people come to Morn City, or have any strange things happened?"

"People? Not many..." Edgar recalled, "But there were some strange things."

"What is it?"

Edgar stretched out his hand and pointed outside the city. "Some time ago, a strange disease broke out in a village in the mountains north of Morn. According to the investigation, their eyes became extremely painful, as if they were burning inside."

······Epilepsy!

This word instantly popped into my mind, making my pupils widen involuntarily.

Can’t be wrong!

The fire that resides in the eyes, the sick village that Edgar mentioned, is actually epilepsy.

In Elden Circle, fire takes many forms:

The fire of the furnace of life - the fire brought human civilization, thus creating the prosperous future today. In addition, the boiling magma in the earth's core can also be said to be a form of fire. The furnace of life is the birthplace of everything from the golden flame, and it is also the most original foundation of the borderland.

The Snow Mountain Giant Flame - the raging fire that can ignite the Golden Tree. In my opinion, it is a closed-loop fire, which is the opposite of the furnace fire. The furnace fire melts everything, and the Golden Tree symbolizing the borderland flourishes from it, while the Giant Fire burns the Golden Tree, truly turning the scattered whole into a huge whole.

Destined Death - Fire can cause human death, and this black and red fire is the real means of permanently depriving people of life in the border area, making it impossible for people to be resurrected.

Night Flame - Black and white flames. Legend has it that the goddess with night eyes was in charge of the fate of death, but she was defeated in the duel with the "Eternal Queen" Marika. The black and red flames were taken away, leaving only black and white.

The most dangerous and terrifying thing is the insane fire. This is a raging fire that burns everything, even the entire world. It is a cursed fire on the border! It will burn everything to zero.

Epilepsy is the spread of this curse.

I suddenly remembered what the old businessman on the outer wall said - he felt a sense of familiarity in that man.

Maybe I was wrong.

It's not simply that someone has been reincarnated as a member of a nomadic tribe, but rather that that person has been infected with insanity.

His purpose may be to complete the Crazy Fire branch line and finish the Crazy Fire ending!

Therefore, he took the initiative to kill Irena, because he needed to turn Irena into the insane "Finger Witch" Haida!

Does that guy want to destroy the world?

why?

If the world were destroyed, he would die too!

It’s okay in the game, after all, in order to collect different endings and achieve platinum achievements, I have also been the King of Madness.

But the guy who still wants to destroy the real world, is he a psychopath? Or does he not care at all? Because... he is already extremely disappointed with the whole world?

——No, no, I'm not disappointed yet! I still want to find a way to live happily with Lani, Melina, and everyone else!

I just felt completely cold all over, as if I had fallen into a cold cellar.

On the other side, Edgar was still narrating: "... I sent people to investigate, and it turned out that some of them were infected with a strange disease. Afterwards, before we could deal with it in time, a hybrid rebellion broke out in the city. It was really... Alas!"

Little did the city lord know that at this moment, the thought of killing him had already sprouted in my mind.

In the Mad Fire branch, Haida truly becomes a Mad Fire Witch, and she needs to be fed two things - Chapolili grapes and finger-marked grapes.

Those were actually the eyes of a person suffering from epilepsy.

And one of them was produced by Edgar, the lord of Morn City, who is right in front of me.

As long as we kill him, the Dianhuo branch quest will be interrupted... Wait, is that true?

In order to prevent the little wood from burning the tree, in the game, I often take the initiative to get infected with the fire, and then find a way to seal it.

Because of the information provided by the majority of netizens, players do not actually need the guidance of the Finger Witch to successfully meet the Three Fingers of Madness and become the King of Madness.

No wonder there was no sign that guy had ever been to Moren City.

He didn't care about the fate of the city lord Edgar, and he deliberately left the handkerchief behind, perhaps just as a simple insurance for the future branch quest.

Oh, I’ve been tricked.

I sighed, and couldn't help feeling quite ashamed for the murderous intent that had just arisen in me.

——Since you want to do it, I won’t go out of my way to stop you!

——What I should do is to follow my original idea and try my best to save the NPC characters who are friendly to A-Da.

——As for the Mad Fire King, wouldn’t it be good enough if we could just meet Marika before him and achieve the ending?

Come if you want, I will defeat you fairly!

Perhaps because of my changing expression, City Lord Edgar asked with a hint of concern and confusion, "Faded, what's wrong with you?"

"Hmm? No, nothing." I scratched my head and said, "By the way, City Lord Edgar. Although my suggestion may offend you, now that Moren City has fallen, why don't you leave? Do you want to take your soldiers and the city with you? I miss you..."

Originally, I thought your daughter Irena would not want to do this either.

But when I remembered that Irena was gone now, I quickly stopped talking.

Edgar sighed again: "You have a point. But even if the city has been lost, as the ruler, I still have things to do... That sword, Morn's priceless treasure, must not fall into the hands of those who defile it."

"Then go get it!" I urged.

“But…” Edgar looked embarrassed. “It’s a pity that the city fell too suddenly. I heard that the sword has been taken away, and I don’t know where it went.”

Well, that means we still have to fight the boss, right?

I shook my head helplessly, and then said, "I know the whereabouts of that sword, the Sword Skeleton Greatsword, right?"
