Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

For some reason, Fia seemed to be crying.

After hugging me for a long time, she first released her hands from me, lowered her head and covered her face with her hands, stood up and turned around: "I'm sorry, Mr. Ling, I let you see my rather inappropriate side. Please allow me to calm down for a while."

In other words, Feiya wants to be alone for a while and be quiet, right?

It’s better to stand up tactfully and walk out the door.

——Unless, I want something unspeakable to happen.

But even though Melina disappeared after arriving at the Round Table Hall, she should still be following me and observing as usual.

In front of her, if I want to do further shameful things, I always feel that I will be veiled by the Pure Love Warrior!

——What, my behavior just now has violated the law of pure love? I only remembered Meimei and Lani after the hug was over, and even frantically made excuses. Isn't that a complete scumbag? Therefore, I should be punished!

——How can this be? I am just a pure and equal fraternity!

······Forget it, who am I arguing with?

Faintly, I seemed to hear Fia whispering, "Thank you so much, hero."

——Hehe, I don’t deserve to be called a hero. I’m just a person passing by.

When I walked out of the door, I saw Xiu Gu still helping me strengthen my weapons, and he was not affected at all by the noise coming from next door.

However, it seems that it has reached the final step.

He chose the relatively flat side of the forging stone and carefully sharpened the blade of the King's Army Straight Sword, like a guqin master, gently stroking the strings and playing out a clear and pleasant sonata.

I couldn't help but be attracted by Xiu Gu's concentration, and stood beside him waiting quietly.

At this time, a figure walked over from the hall and said in a low, mechanical voice, "Old Xiu Gu, please take a look at my sword."

Turning around, I saw a strange-looking armor, made of two different materials of metal, gold and silver, intertwined with each other, as if two people were spliced ​​together, with gold as the dominant color, and a silver head hanging on the right side of the chest.

"Hunting Death" D, this man, is said to be a pair of twin souls with his younger brother, a living conjoined twin in the border area.

Our eyes met each other, and I quickly bowed my head, about to introduce myself to the other party and say hello.

But D came closer first, and a slight sniffing sound came from under the hood: "It seems that you have already come into contact with that woman, newcomer... This is my advice to you, don't come into contact with death too much, unless you also want to become like those dead borns, wandering around, and never returning to the tree."

——What are you doing, you stinky DD, is it your turn to smell a boy's body odor? ······Ah, I shouldn't complain like this, even I feel disgusted.

I stepped back subconsciously, holding my neck, and smiled awkwardly: "Thank you, thank you for your reminder. I will pay attention."

D stopped talking and moved a few steps away from me. He leaned his sword against the corner and waited for Xiu Gu to do the final maintenance on my straight sword.

Looking at the other party, if I remember correctly, D's range of action should still be near the edge of Nimgfu - the area of ​​Shuihuan Village.

Because the dead are rampant, few living things come near.

However, D is also an important figure in the "Dead Prince" branch. As a subordinate of the "Beast Priest" who is in charge of death in the border area, he is investigating the real cause of the dead births.

In that case, the thing under Stonewell might also be quite attractive to him.

And D is indeed very powerful. Whether it is the subsequent challenge of the Black Knife Underground Cemetery, the underground "Eternal City" Noklong, or the challenge of the heroic gargoyle, he is a good helper to assist Atai.

So, I took the initiative to approach him and said, "You are indeed the 'Death Hunter' D-senpai, right?"

"Well, what is it?" D responded indifferently.

"My name is Zero. I am heading to Stonewell to investigate the secrets hidden there... I thought you might be interested."

"Stonewell? I'm sorry, I have more important things to do and can't get away for the time being." This guy D decisively rejected my invitation.

But I didn't want to give up yet: "However, the order issued by 'Limb Reattachment' Greg to hunt us Faded Ones is still quite troublesome. If we can get rid of him, Nimgefu might be more stable, which will also be good for you, right?"

"That guy is just a coward who can only hide in the city. He is not a threat."

······Xiao Ge, you really are disliked by others.

Since the other party has refused so firmly, I can only give up.

It's a pity that there are no more people in the hall. Neferi Lu is not here either. Maybe she is already in Stonewell City. Oh~ Can't find more helpers?

I sighed.

At this moment, Xiu Gu helped me sharpen the straight sword, put it back into the scabbard and handed it to me.

I pulled it out and took a closer look. Hmm, the wear and tear on the sword had been completely smoothed out, making it shine brightly, as if showing off its invincibility.

"Hey, take it." Xiuguo threw something to me.

I swept the sword across and instantly cut the thing into two pieces: "Good sword!"

"······But, that was the forging stone I prepared for you, for sharpening and maintaining your sword." Xiu Gu was stunned for a moment before he said speechlessly.

······Ah, why didn’t you say it earlier!

"Humph~"

- Hey, you stinky DD, you just laughed, right? Don't think I can't hear you just because you're wearing a helmet that covers your face, bastard!

I hurriedly picked up the two halves of the forging stone from the ground and asked repeatedly, "This should work, right? Xiu Gu?"

"That's good, as long as you can use it smoothly." Xiu Gu stretched out his hand to D, and D handed the sword to him without hesitation.

I always feel that if I continue to stay in this place, it will only cause more embarrassment.

The straight sword has been repaired, so I'd better leave as soon as possible and go find the twin old ladies to buy some things.

It just so happened that I had just defeated the Evil Omen Teacher, and the runes on hand were enough to support my big spending.

······Where is the memory stone? Where is my memory stone? I remember that there should be a store selling memory stones here! I found nothing again!

I was so shocked that I fell to my knees in front of the old woman's stall, frantically searching for props, which frightened the two old women so much that they kept babbling and didn't know how to stop me.

——Has the fire maniac been here before?

——Ah, no, if it is such a convenient and rare prop, it might have been bought by other people in the round table hall. After all, people come and go here, and it is hard to say who may need it.

I can only settle for the next best thing and buy some other props.

I now have 13,720 runes on hand. Um, let me change into a new set of armor first. After all, entering Stonewell wearing the current Grek armor will arouse extra suspicion.

Diros and the others also said that ordinary soldiers cannot stay in the city at all. Most of them are sent out to look for Faded Ones or guard the gates. Only some Lost Knights and exile soldiers are left... Oh, and there are also a few tossing pot guys. When they played the game for the first round, they were badly beaten. Now, let me take the initiative.

I bought a set of knight armor and helmet, and I also bought a stone sword key... I really want to buy a longbow, but I don't know if its attributes are good enough. Oh, the holy mark on the finger is still there, so I can buy it.

——Here the benefits of useless A Tui are once again demonstrated.

The initial attributes are all ten points, and the most basic prayers and magic can be used, which means that it has the simplest long-range means for early exploration.

The remaining Rune just happened to exchange the fire-casting faith scroll with the prayer teacher Colin, perfect~

So I returned to the hall.

When Mr. Kelin heard that I could see the blessing, he seemed quite friendly: "Oh, this is really a good thing! I don't know why, there are very few faded people like you who can meet guidance recently. If you don't mind, would you like to learn some prayers from the two-fingered master?"

"Yes, Mr. Kelin, you know the prayer of 'Throwing Fire', right? I want to practice this first." If I remember correctly, it should be 800 Runes, which I can definitely afford.

"Throw, throw into the fire?" Teacher Ke Lin looked a little troubled: "Well, I can, but..."

Snapped!

Although hesitant, Teacher Colin still closed the book and said, "It's okay. If you can see the guidance, I believe you can use this power well. Come on, let's study prayer. May the Golden Rule be with you!"

——Study, learn.

As I watched the smile gradually spread across the other person's face, I felt a chill in my heart for some reason.

I hope Teacher Kelin can be gentler than Teacher Seren. Please, after all, I just want to come here to rest.
