Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

With the help of Selimene, I brought Latan with me through the blessed teleportation and arrived at Stonewell, where I met with the top management headed by Nepheli.

The new Storm King, with the assistance of Kenneth Hyde and Edson Hyde, managed Nimgefu in perfect order:

Troublesome disasters such as the Dragon's Breath Ruins, Water Call Village, and Blackthorn Death Curse have long been cleared;

Moreover, with my information, Nepheli has already sent people to suppress the Fallen Eagle troops in the "Eternal City" Noklong. It is said that because of Roderica, Stonewell has also reached an agreement with the ancestors to coexist peacefully and not offend each other;

The Weeping Peninsula has also been completely recovered, the sick villages have been cleared, and the mines and tunnels on the island have resumed operation;

Even the broken bridge leading to Lienia in the game is now under repair;

In short, everything can be said to be thriving.

When I informed Nefeli and the others about the situation in the Royal City of Rodel and asked whether we should form an alliance with the King of Blessing, Nefeli agreed without hesitation: "Great, I've been feeling suffocated lately. Zero, you must take me with you on this alliance."

After saying this, this guy took her battle axe and swung it twice.

——Good sisters, we are going to form an alliance, not to fight.

By the way, when Latan and I arrived just now, Nepheli also rushed back to the throne of the king from outside with two axes in hand. What was she doing?

Glancing at the two Hyde in charge.

Kenneth held his forehead helplessly and sighed, "Let her go. Anyway, nothing major has happened in Nimgefu recently. If Lady Nefeli continues to be idle, I'm worried that the soldiers in the city will not be able to bear it."

Edson stroked his beard and said, "Besides, we can rest assured that Lord Ling and the famous General Latan will be with us. Letting the king go can also show the people of Rodel that our three territories outside of Asiatan attach great importance to this matter."

That's right, by doing this, we can give face to Teacher Mongget, help him stabilize the morale of the army, and make those nobles dare not to act on his own.

Otherwise, it would not only be the army of Mongot's cronies, but also cause trouble for Lienia, Stonewell and Gallid at the same time.

but······

——The soldiers in the city are going to suffer?

I looked at Nepheli curiously. What is this guy doing recently?

Nefeli immediately complained: "A bunch of unambitious guys, aren't they just asking people to practice with me? Now that they've made eye contact with me, they're hiding away."

"If the screams from the training ground hadn't been heard here, I would have been able to defend you a little, Lady Nefeli." Kenneth retorted accurately.

"When Hertok and I didn't arrive, they were defeated by the Fallen Eagle Army. Stonewell's soldiers still need to train harder!" Nefeli argued.

Kenneth lowered his head: "... I am speechless."

"Oh, right." Nepheli suddenly put her arm around my shoulder and said, "Zero, you've come back from the Yatan Plateau, so your abilities should have improved a lot, right? Shall we have a competition later?"

"······You go find Brother Latan, I have something else to do." I quickly declined.

And she just looked towards Latan: "Go?"

"go!"

It hits it off.

They all have typical warrior brains, fighting and having fun is all they need, while others have to consider much more.

You see, the two Hydes are already discussing what to do next.

"Since we are going to form an alliance, we should not bring too many troops, so as not to be accused of preparing to start a war." Edson said, "But considering the safety of Lord Nefeli and Lord Zero, it is best to send some people to escort them."

"Then let Hertok go with his colleagues. It happens that two of them haven't been back to Rodel for a long time. They should be happy to do so." Kenneth was also helping to finalize the candidates.

I walked up to him and asked curiously, "By the way, where is Hurtok? Recently, I heard that his brother Paris also came here, right?"

Kenneth explained to me: "Heltok is currently at my old Hyde Fortress. After suppressing the Fallen Eagle Troops of Noklongn, he brought them out of the underground. After those people came into contact with the Light of Rune, their hostility has also decreased a lot, so Heltok is disciplining those prisoners."

——It seems that Laya is also there temporarily.

Not in a hurry to see the little snake, I asked about the situation of the "half-wolf" Blaze.

"Oh, as for the half-wolf knight, Lord Iggie told us about his situation. So, Lord Blaze was transferred to the sealed prison in Storm Hill for easier supervision... As for his condition, it seems to be pretty good now." Edson explained to me.

——If the condition is good, then it is probably because of Iggy’s mirror helmet.

In that case, Knox's mirrored helmet should also be effective.

Kenneth and I went to the Sealed Prison in Storm Hill together. On the way, I curiously asked Kenneth what he thought about the fact that the King of Blessing was actually the Son of Evil Omen.

Kenneth was quite open-minded. "I have also heard of that king's name. He performed great feats in the two defenses of Rodel and defended the Golden Dynasty... So, even if he is the Son of Evil Omen, he is a true hero and a legitimate heir of the Golden Dynasty. As for the so-called name of Evil Omen, the current situation in the border area was not caused by them, so it is just nonsense."

"······Kenneth, you are such a good person!" I couldn't help but sigh.

"Hahaha, in such a chaotic world, there is no such thing as a good person." Kenneth smiled, "If I have to say, only people like you who have the ability to stabilize the chaotic world and turn the tide can be called good people. I'm just helping you do your best from behind."

"Logistics is very important. Nepheli and I are only good at fighting and killing. Management still depends on people like you."

Kenneth smiled but said nothing.

When I arrived at the sealed prison, as soon as I entered, I heard Brother Wolf's cheerful voice: "Huh? This smell... is Zero!"

"Hello, long time no see, Brother Wolf." I greeted him while staring blankly at the large mirrored helmet in front of me, which was clanging towards me. "You, you don't move. I'll go over there."

After all, reality is not like a game where weapons and equipment can adapt to A-ti's body shape.

Iggy's mirrored helmet was just like a huge golden bell, covering Wolf Brother's entire body. Those who didn't know better might have thought it was the magic weapon of the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, suppressing the wolf demon.

"Hey, Zero, how is the princess?! You have given her the secret treasure of Noklongn, right? Is she okay?" Blaze asked questions one after another.

I quickly suppressed his words: "Don't worry, Brother Wolf. Lani has already stepped into the starry sky to explore the path of law... Let's not talk about this for now, try this hat on."

"Ow?"

I took out the Knox mirror helmet, carefully lifted Iggy's golden bell, and handed it in: "How is it?"

After a while, Blaze finally responded: "...My nose hurts."

That's right, the Knox mirror helmet was originally designed for humans to wear, and it is indeed difficult to put it on Wolf Brother's long triangle face.

"Then I'll go back to Stonewell and find a blacksmith to see if he can make the mask suitable for Knight Blaze to wear." Kenneth stepped forward and offered a plan.

"Okay, please."

In this way, the important matters that needed to be done in Lienia and Nimgefu have been almost resolved.

It's time to return to the Royal City of Rodel, to support Teacher Monggot, and then head towards the snowfields of the north.

I took a short break in Nimgfu for a few days.

Hurtok came from Hyde Fortress with several Forge Knights. Needless to say, there were also two Forges who were originally stationed at the Noklongen Drainage Canal, Sword Forge Magpie Asek and Tree Forge Jura.

Sure enough, a group of people quickly agreed to accompany us to the Royal City of Rodel and provide escort.

Laya was also willing to accompany us on the trip.

She looked much better, and when she saw me, she rushed over to give me a big hug, talked to me about the adventures she had experienced during her journey, and demonstrated that she had become proficient in wielding the profane greatsword.

I touched her head with relief and told Laya about Dianhuo A Ling being caught.

However, Dianhuo A Ling can still be used as firewood, and I hope Laya can understand this.

With the manpower, documents, and some alliance ceremonies in hand, the entire delegation set out from Stonewell, passing through Rhea Lukalia. Iggy had also made corresponding preparations and asked Burke, Wolf King Fenlig, Servais, and several respected magic professors to accompany us.

Coincidentally, I ran into Roger on the road.

According to him, he and D met with Godwin, the "Prince of Death" in the deep roots, and then drifted down the river to the Ansel River. After going through untold hardships, they finally came up from the wellhead on the Lienia side and saw the light again.

He had been planning to return to Rodel to tell me of this discovery, and it was a good opportunity for him to join us.

In this way, the entire joint delegation, consisting of about thirty people, marched towards the Royal City of Rodel in a mighty manner.

I can't help but have a hunch:

This time, a new chapter will surely be opened in the border area!
