Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

Dead roots?!

Oh, so this thing that looks like a flower bud and a golden onion is actually a projection of a dead root? But because the golden mask used its own runes to create the statue, it was shining with gold, so I didn't think of the black thing.

Bai Zhi also asked with a little curiosity: "Who gave this to you, Zero?"

"It's the golden mask. After I lost the battle with Monggot, he released me from the sealed prison and gave me this dead root and a rune statue with a golden needle." I answered honestly.

Bai Zhi frowned slightly and murmured, "Golden mask... Dead roots and golden needles... Ah, as expected, that master really had the same idea?"

I still didn't quite understand the situation, so I asked, "Sir, these two things... Does the Master of the Golden Mask want me to go directly to Malicus?"

"It seems that you also know this, young man." Baizhi showed his old scholarly demeanor again, "At the northernmost end of Galid, there is a beast temple. One of the priests, Gulang, is the incarnation of the shadow beast beside Queen Marica. According to legend, after Marica defeated the goddess of the night eyes for Queen Marica, he obtained the power of the destined death. When Prince Godwin encountered an accident, he was ordered to go to the broken sky city of Fam Azra."

"But...but, will Maliks tell us how to get to Fam Azra?"

"So we need all the dead roots on this border. The beast priest has always believed that the current situation on the border is caused by his poor supervision. As long as we eat the wrong tubers produced by the golden tree for the 'dead prince' Godwin, everything will change." Baizhi speculated on the Golden Mask's thoughts, "Perhaps, as long as we collect all the dead roots, give them to the beast priest, and explain the situation to him, Grang will point out a clear path for you to Fam Azra."

······So that’s how it is?

My brain started working like crazy.

Now, I have a dead root in my hand, which I got from the ruins of Widum on the Yatan Plateau.

The rest of the dead roots... The one in Shuihuan Village was obtained by "Hunting Death" D, and he and Roger went to the Black Knife Underground Cemetery later. I'm afraid he has two dead roots in his hands. There is also a call ship in the middle of the east coast of Lienia, near the big study. Maybe we can go there first.

As for the other dead roots, if I remember correctly, there are dead roots hidden in a cemetery in Nimgefu - the underground cemetery where death comes; in Gemir, it is in the hero cemetery of Gemir; there should also be two dead roots in the Giant Snow Mountain, one in an underground cemetery near the sky road, and the other in the ruins outside the city of Thor.

The last dead root was at the entrance of the Holy Snowfield, in a strange maze.

But it’s too difficult for me to collect them!

Let’s talk about those cemetery mazes first. They are truly a world of underworld.

——I’m talking about you, the ultimate ghost wall in the underground cemetery of the Giant Snow Mountain!

In addition, if I remember correctly, there is a dead bird wandering around near the cemetery in Sol City. Considering the reality, that guy is likely to come out and get in the way, and combined with the call ship to play mixed doubles... Ha~ Thinking about it, my head is already getting a little big.

I'm afraid that before I even reach Fam Azra, I'll be collected by these dead roots and half of my life will be taken away.

"Judging from your expression, you must already know the location of all the dead roots, young man." Baizhi guessed correctly.

I sighed and held my forehead: "I know, but..."

"There's nothing good to say, Zero. We need to collect those dead roots. Let us do it together!" At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in the hall.

Turning back, I saw Nepheli striding in with Laya, several Crucible Knights, and the remaining people from the Round Table.

Latan smiled and patted my shoulder, who was extremely surprised. "When you came to the academy, I had already informed everyone in Stonewell. They settled the refugees from Rodel and rushed here without saying a word."

Nepheli also walked forward with a smile and said, "It's a pity that I can't catch up with your magic duel. I'm still a little late."

"What a pity~" Laya parroted behind her.

"Nepheli...Laya..." Their sudden appearance made me a little dumbfounded, and I couldn't help swallowing my saliva.

Nefeli looked at me, stretched out her hand, and hooked me over. "You, the expression on your face just now, are you thinking of solving all the problems by yourself again? On the way, I heard that you challenged the Blessed King Monggot alone and wanted to receive the Blessed Fire? I know you are anxious to go to Fam Azra and save your witch, but you are not that anxious, Zero."

"I'm also worried about Sister Melina, so, Zero, let's work together to find a way to save Sister Melina!" Laya also clenched her fists and came to me.

Even Latan crossed his arms and said, "Yes, brother Ling. A sword is too strong and can break easily. You are a member of the Kalia royal family. Don't forget that you still have our support!"

"Everyone." A warm feeling suddenly overflowed from the bottom of my heart and filled my entire body.

However, at this time, Lord Baizhi interrupted and said, "The matter of the dead roots can indeed be left to them, but there is also that golden needle... Zero, you should know what that is, right?"

"Well, that's the golden needle belonging to the Valkyrie Marennia, which can suppress the fire of insanity." When I mentioned Marennia, I glanced at Latan.

Sure enough, the general narrowed his eyes slightly, and an indescribable expression flashed across his face.

"But if Malicus can really show us the way to Fam Azra, there is no need for that needle, right?" I asked curiously.

After all, I really don't want to deal with Lianlian.

——That was undoubtedly the strongest BOSS in the Elden Ring. At the beginning, I was abused by Lianlian for two whole days before I and Brother Teardrop got there in a wheelchair amidst the sea of ​​blood and corpses.

I don't want to hear what she says anymore. I am Michaela's sharp edge.

But Bai Zhi shook his head and broke my hope: "It's not so easy to destroy that Mad Fire Man. Don't forget, his power was originally split from you... However, he is different from you. I suspect that he has crossed time and returned to this world with you."

The crazy guy that Baizhi mentioned should specifically refer to the crazy Aling.

Across time... Could it be that the guy didn't read my memory, but because he is the real King of Mad Fire in the second round?

"In addition, the spies I planted in the Blood Dynasty have encountered problems recently. I heard that many Blood Fingers are wandering around the border area, so we have to be careful in this regard." Baizhi revealed another piece of information.

However, Nefeli waved her hand and said loudly: "Those unimportant matters don't matter. For now, we should discuss the matter of the dead roots and golden needles, and go to Fam Azra to rescue Melina."

——Yes, we have to rescue Melina first.

Looking at the guys who were united in their purpose, my eyes couldn't help but feel a little warm.

"Oh, Zero, are you crying?"

"Hmm? No, don't say that, Nepheli."

"You reached out to wipe it off, and you said you didn't cry."

Even Laya came over and touched my head: "It's okay, Ling, be good, don't cry."

······Take back the emotion I expressed earlier. Stay away from me and stop treating me like a child!
