Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

Chapter 75: A soldier never tires of deceit

Fortunately, Teacher Kelin is still gentler than Teacher Seren.

Pray – Throw yourself into the fire.

The red candle flame at the border reminds people of the destructive fire of the evil god in the snow-capped mountains. Therefore, it is not included in any prayer system, and there are no corresponding runes.

Teacher Colin wrote a prayer in rune book and handed it to me: "Please write down this prayer, Master Ling, so that you can channel the power of faith in your body."

"Thank you." I reached out and touched the prayer book, and all the words came into my mind all at once.

As long as I said "Throw Yourself into Fire" in my heart, the prayer would appear clearly in my mind, transformed from words into runes, and then I would feel a warm feeling on my palms.

——Ah, what a convenient ability! I really want to apply this kind of rune magic to reality. Then, it would not take long for me to get into Tsinghua University or Peking University after taking the college entrance examination.

"Zero, Master Zero, fire! Fire! Fire!" It was Teacher Colin's anxious shout.

what happened?

I came back to my senses from my fantasy. The flames guided by my faith were actually bigger than my head, and there was even a burnt smell coming from between my hair.

"Oh my god, it's on fire! What should I do, Teacher Colin?!" The fireball was still burning and getting bigger.

Teacher Ke Lin hurriedly said, "Throw it out! Then the effect of the prayer will end!"

"Throw it, but where?"

You can't just throw it onto the round table!

Oh, right, Xiu Gu!

I hurried to the passage on the right side of the hall, and when I saw Xiu Gu, I shouted, "Master Blacksmith, do you still need fire?"

Xiu Gu's pupils widened and he quickly stepped aside.

And I jumped up with the momentum of a slam dunk and slammed the fireball into the basket: "Safe!"

"What's safe about that? How could you use this prayer right in the hall?" Teacher Ke Lin almost grabbed my collar and yelled, "I was so carried away. Even if I could see the guidance, this power is still beyond the control of ordinary soldiers."

“······I’m sorry!” I apologized obediently.

——However, the "Fire Throwing" prayer is still very useful in the early stages of development. Its power is equivalent to that of a fire pot, but the pre-shot swing is relatively long, so you need to control the distance to the enemy well.

Teacher Ke Lin sighed slightly, shook his head and left.

Xiu Gu was also looking at me silently. When he saw me turn around and smile at him awkwardly, he glanced away silently.

······By the way, isn't it forbidden to fight in the Round Table Hall? I thought I couldn't use fire-throwing, so I gave it a try! On the first day, I was ready to turn the hall upside down. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to stay here in the future.

Well, what about D? Has he left?

Forget it, it has nothing to do with me anymore.

I walked down the stairs next to Xiu Gu and found that the seal of the fog door here had not been lifted. It happened that I had just acquired a stone sword key, so I might as well use it.

The stone sword was inserted into the forehead of the stone statue that sealed the little ghost, and the thick fog at the door dissipated.

It looked like a cafeteria inside. At the foot of the wall on one side, I found a crossbow weapon - Krepp's Black Key and several Black Key wooden stakes, and put them into my backpack without hesitation.

In the early stages, the more means of long-range attack you have, the better, so that you can happily skip classes while ensuring your safety.

After making all the preparations, I carefully checked around and called softly, "Melina, Melina, are you nearby? Melina."

“······Lord Ling, why are you looking for me under the table?” Meimei appeared as expected.

"Ahaha, I just thought you were afraid of being discovered, so you appeared from a hidden place." I scratched my face embarrassedly, but I definitely didn't treat you as a kitten.

Melina sighed softly and returned to the topic: "Master Ling, do you need to leave the hall?"

I nodded. "I've almost done what I need to do. I can't find any friends to go to Stonewell with me, so I have to go back alone. After that, I have to find Diros to discuss countermeasures."

However, it's embarrassing to say that I myself have tried to teleport through blessing several times, but when I closed my eyes, I always fell asleep very quickly and couldn't teleport at all... Maybe there was something wrong with my method.

"I understand. Please allow me to touch you a little." Melina stretched out her hand.

"Thank you, let's go."

Following Melina's guidance, we were once again enveloped in the blessed light and left the round table hall.

······Just in the moment of leaving, I seemed to feel someone's gaze passing by.

······

"vomit!"

"Brother Ling? When did you come back?" I returned to the outer wall of Stonewell, and Diros happened to see me leaning against the wall and vomiting after being teleported back. He ran over to me and asked, "What happened to you?"

"No, it's okay, I'm just carsick."

"Motion sickness?"

"No, don't worry about it." After touching the blessing, the bad condition was finally eliminated. I turned around and asked Diros: "Diros, you and your brothers have entered Stonewell, right? Can you tell me about the situation inside?"

Deros nodded.

His account was not much different from what I knew.

Entering from the main gate, there are several teams of exiles stationed on the ramp, and there are even several crossbows aimed at the gate. Even if you stick a toe in, you can be shot into a hornet's nest in an instant, and you won't even be able to roll away.

After that, they had to cross a mountain road, with heavy troops guarding both sides. The crossbow machines had even evolved into explosive crossbows ready to take action.

Behind the mountain road is the central square of Stonewell, which is still heavily guarded and even has several flamethrowers installed. There are also functional buildings such as the library, dining hall, and church near the square.

You can find a path along the inside of the square. Walking forward, you will arrive in front of Emperor Greg.

“······As for other places, we soldiers are not qualified to enter, so we can’t help you, Brother Zero.” Diros was quite ashamed.

And I then asked: "So, if you catch the Fader, where should you send him?"

"As for this, the exiles have told us that the captured faded ones will be placed in the warehouse next to the square, leading to the dining hall." Diros suddenly understood what I meant, "Brother Zero, do you want to..."

I snapped my fingers and said, "Yes, you deliberately pretended to capture me and then sent me there."

——In this way, I can save a lot of time running around and reduce a lot of danger.

——As expected of me, I am smart~

"Let's wait until night to act. Their vision is poor and their minds will be distracted, so they can send me into Stonewell without anyone noticing."

As for after that,

——Xiao Ge, just wash your hands and wait for me.

······

After waiting for it to get completely dark, Diros and I acted according to the plan. They tied a noose around me and carried me towards the gate of Stonewell.

"Hey, brother guarding the gate, get up." In the small room on the side of the gate, he knocked on the guard's desk.

I squinted my eyes and took a peek at the situation.

The guard raised his head, a look of confusion on his skinny face, and his right sleeve was empty, obviously having been removed by the limb transplanter.

——Gotok, this guy is indeed the one guarding the gate.

"We caught a Faded One. This guy actually tried to sneak into Stonewell at night and offend Lord Greg... It's just right, let's take him to get his limbs reattached!" Diros said the lines he had rehearsed, "So, please notify the people inside to open the door."

"Lord Greg? Really?" Gotok smiled wryly, his tone carrying a hint of gloom. "Hehehe, don't think I didn't see that this man is the one who defeated the 'Evil Omen Demon' before."

shock!

I died before I could accomplish my goal. My plan failed at the first step?!
