Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

Just when the black knife assassins in Yidian Town were on the verge of a fight with Di Xi and me, the Platinum Tears that Letina gave me came in handy, and the Son of Platinum in the town came to mediate the fight.

The platinum girl sat on the black knife assassin's shoulder and walked up to me slowly. Then, she bowed deeply to me and said, "You must be Master Ling, right? Thank you for bringing Sister Letina to the Holy Snow Plain and injecting the first tears of hope into our sister... I am really sorry for offending you just now."

"It's okay, it's okay. After all, you are ordered to guard this town. It's good that the misunderstanding can be resolved." I shook my hand generously.

"Thank you for your understanding."

"By the way, there should have been another group of people here before me. What exactly happened to them here?" I asked curiously.

"Are you talking about the two red-haired women and the Knights of the Night?" The platinum girl continued to explain after seeing me nod, "Those two seem to have a close relationship with the Valkyrie Marennia, and they know everything about Ceremonial Town. Therefore, we and the sisters of Black Knife did not make things too difficult for them."

...Ah, so there was no fighting when Millicent and the others came here. No wonder. I said that with Mibao's ability, if a fight really broke out, it would be impossible for him to not be able to deal with a single black knife.

——Alas, it is so convenient to have a Valkyrie as a backer.

I also continued to ask: "But one of them left me a message saying that another girl was taken away by the worm ribbon. What's going on?"

The Son of Platinum also explained: "I heard from my sisters that following them, several other women who also smelled like Lady Marlennia came. They took away one of the short-haired women while your two companions were working separately to unlock the sealed fire."

Sure enough, it was the other Holy Tree Sisters.

However, they did not attack Millicent, but took Pollyanna away. I don't know what they were doing.

As for how those sisters came to the Holy Snowfield, I can only speculate that the sage Gwei must have done something about it... It is possible that he came from the Holy Snowfield himself, and followed the team all the way south to Gaileid. After witnessing the arrival of the scarlet corrupt goddess, he has stayed there ever since.

At the border, there is not only one means of teleportation. Perhaps the corrupt followers also have unique teleportation coordinates like the light of blessing.

"I understand. By the way, I also want to go to Michaela's sacred tree. Will this cause you trouble?" I asked in a friendly manner.

——Even if they are really in a difficult situation, I will try my best to persuade them and find a way to get in.

However, social etiquette still needs to be observed.

"Lord Zero, if you are here to seek the refuge of the Holy Tree, you may be disappointed. During the Fragment War, Lady Michaela, who was originally the seed for the budding of the Holy Tree, was abducted by a bitch. Since then, this place has been stagnant." The Son of Platinum said to me honestly.

"Huh? It doesn't matter. Actually, I came here just because I knew Michaela's location." I didn't lie, but I had to learn from Wang Chao first. The situation was a little serious.

The Son of Platinum and the Black Knife Assassins were all amazed.

The girl's skeptical voice was also filled with excitement and renewed hope: "Really, Master Zero?"

"Well, so, I have to go meet Marennia, and by the way, I have to take care of the two companions who came before me."

"That's great! If Master Mikaela can really come back and complete the sacred tree, it will become a paradise, and we won't have to endure the chaos and disasters of the borderland and can go to our ideal country." The son of platinum was very excited. After a pause, she said, "In that case, can Master Zero do us a small favor?"

"tell me the story."

"On your way to the Holy Tree to meet Lady Marennia, you will surely meet a noble knight named Loretta. Like you, she was once a knight under the command of the Bright Moon. When the time comes, please bring this to her." As he spoke, the Son of Platinum took out an arrow and slashed it across his palm, allowing the platinum blood to slowly seep into the arrowhead and flow through the entire arrow.

I asked curiously, "What is this?"

"Lady Loretta is dedicated to her duties. I am worried that you will have the same misunderstanding with us as before, and will have a conflict with that lord." The girl handed me the arrow and explained, "This arrow can convey to that lord that you have a close relationship with us, the Sons of Platinum. Then, Lady Loretta will no longer make things difficult for you. Even if you explain it to her clearly, she will go with you to find Lady Michaela."

——Oh! In other words, we don’t even have to fight the only two big bosses of the Holy Tree? !

I think my trip to the sacred tree will be very relaxing.

Loretta can use this arrow to skip classes, and if Marennia explains it clearly, she should come with me to find Michaela. In this way, it won't take much time at all, and I should be able to get the golden needle. Then, according to the prophecy of the golden mask, I will find the beast priest and find a way to get to the broken sky city, Fam Azra.

——Connections are the orthodox way to become king!

"Thank you." I accepted the Arrow of Peace without hesitation. Then, with the farewell of the Son of Platinum and the Black Knife sisters, I climbed the Heavenly Stairs behind Yidian Town and touched the teleportation gate there.

Following a slight shake, the sound of a horn from heaven seemed to reach my ears.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw that I was still on the branch of Michaela's sacred tree.

Wuwuwu——

The long and solemn sound of the horn was still playing, and the whole sacred tree seemed to be shrouded in a dream, with a faint haziness. Perhaps it was because of Michaela's disappearance, this haziness and the sound of the horn were filled with thoughtful sadness.

The light of blessing is swaying on the tree branch in front of me.

I walked forward and lit up the blessing.

Below, there was a thick fog, and I couldn't see the bottom at all, but it should be the sea. Michaela's sacred tree grew on the edge of the border, that is, above the sea.

Continuing forward, you will see the white, plump and round mascots of "Mi Xue Bing Cheng" - the Oracle Messengers.

They blew the horn day and night, calling for Michaela's return.

...Ah, when I turned around, I was discovered. The messengers' horns immediately became sharp, and golden bubbles were blown out and flew towards me.

——Sure enough, A Tui is not welcome anywhere!

I quickly crawled and rolled down.

If I don't collect those messy things on the crown of the holy tree, and run directly down to the Holy Tree Town, the journey is not too far. After all, the town is right in front of me. If I sprint at full speed, it should take less than five or six minutes.

But the sharp and piercing sound of the horn was like a stone falling into the water, causing ripples to spread quickly and completely breaking the silence here.

Suddenly, the same harsh sound was heard everywhere, one after another.

I found a position and jumped directly down to the wider trunk below, but soon I heard a buzzing sound behind me.

I dodged subconsciously and saw a big scarlet ant flapping its wings like a bee, with its stinging tail raised, heading straight for my back.

When his attack failed, the guy quickly flapped his wings and flew away.

And from the various branches of the sacred tree, dozens of large scarlet ants were moving their legs and crawling towards me quickly.

Oracle messengers of all sizes were also swaying along the branches and spinning, approaching me.

In the blink of an eye, all kinds of monsters in the treetops have surrounded me.

——Damn, I should have known that the Holy Tree Stage wouldn’t let me get through so easily!
