Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

Chapter 138 Return to Lienia

After completing the transaction with Baizhi, I returned to the hall of the round table refreshed.

Common weapons: hound tusks, brass shield, pyroxene magic staff, holy finger mark. Those that need to be upgraded have been upgraded, and those that need maintenance have been left to Xiugu.

As for the ashes, I can only wait until next time I come. I don’t know if Roderica can help me adjust my spirit and upgrade it.

I didn't have much rune left on me, so I couldn't buy anything from the twin old women.

Well, now that we have returned to the hall, we have almost finished what we need to do, and it is time to set off again to continue exploring Lienia.

but······

"By the way, Roger, do you know what's going on in Red Lion City?" I asked Roger curiously, "Has the battle festival of General Latan of 'Star Shattering' begun?"

Roger asked curiously, "Why, Zero, do you want to join us too?"

"Well, I do have this idea." After all, if you take the Lani's Stars branch quest, a battle with the general is essential.

"I just heard that Red Lion City is still recruiting people, so we will probably have to wait for another ten days."

"Ten days or so, that is, half a month?"

"Half a month?"

“... Ah, nothing.” I thought to myself, “But it’s still quite long.”

"After all, that general can easily defeat a hundred people alone. Nimgefu has just been opened, and Red Lion City has probably also received the news. I hope to recruit more people." Roger looked at me meaningfully and smiled slightly. "By the way, when the time comes, you can go to Ishtopia."

"Eh? Has that senior already gone?"

——No wonder he was not seen at the Round Table or Stonewell last night.

Roger also nodded. "He has only been in the hall for a few days, but he seems to be restless and decided to continue to participate in the battle festival... He is also a warrior who easily gets carried away."

"I guess he didn't find his former partners." I smiled bitterly.

Judging from Alperich's tone, it seemed that the original generation of Knights of the Round Table were already in the royal city.

——After all, it’s almost the same in the game.

As for the "quasi-king" Vic, no one knew whether he was already in the snowy mountains or had just come into contact with the insane fire and fell into madness.

In short, I have to hurry up and find Lani first to gain her trust.

If I have time later, I will delve deeper into the matter of the "Night of the Black Knife Conspiracy" - in the promotional video of the Elden Ring, Lanie swore that she was the mastermind that night. As for why she had to kill Prince Godwin, she should be able to explain.

Now it seems that that night was indeed the last straw that broke the camel's back for Queen Marika.

And Lani's answer may be the key to solving the precarious fate of the border area and correcting the Elden Ring.

"Okay, let's go." I was about to find a hidden place and call Melina to help me teleport out of the Round Table Hall.

Roger stopped me and said, "Zero, from what you just said, do you want to go to Lienia now?"

"What? You want to go too?" I was a little confused.

But Roger's smiling eyes have already told me the answer: "Oh, we are on the same path~ let's go together."

"Huh? What are you doing there?" I was confused.

- Wait, is this guy planning to go to the underground cemetery where the Black Knife Assassin is hiding? Or is he going to Kalia Castle to find Lani?

In the game, Roger directly or indirectly commissioned Ati to do all these things.

Now that this guy has both legs intact, he naturally wants to go out and have fun on his own.

Roger's mysterious expression also confirmed my guess: "I'm looking for a place where there may be clues related to the conspiracy night. And, Zero, you also want to know why the Queen smashed the Elden Ring, right~"

--really!

——I finally straightened out your destiny, big brother, can't you just stay at the round table and let me worry less? !

——What if fate catches me again? What should I do?

I couldn't help but glance at Roger's unharmed legs, thinking, why not just break them for you and let you peel them!

——Uh... This idea is so yandere! My name is just Zero, not “Zero! Zero! Zero!”

"But, Roger, can't you see the blessing? Now that you are in the Hall of the Round Table, it would be difficult for you to leave." I suddenly thought of a point. If Roger could teleport himself, then he wouldn't have to look for the traveling witches and ask them to lead the way here.

Roger laughed: "Even though I can't see it, Queen Marica's blessing is still on me to some extent."

He walked to the round table and touched it with his hand: "Zero, you saw it, right? There is a great blessing in the center of this table."

I nodded.

"Just like this, reach out and touch the table, and then think about where you want to go. Blessing will respond and send you there directly." Roger explained with a smile, "Stonewell, this is how we go."

"Huh? This is the first time I know this." As I said that, I also reached out and pressed the round table, and couldn't help but try it.

When I opened my eyes again, everything around me had changed completely!

There was a thin mist in front of me, and the green trees looked like human figures hidden among them.

There was no wind and the water surface was as calm as a mirror.

There was also a fresh and fragrant smell that quietly penetrated into my nasal cavity.

——I, I actually managed to teleport all by myself! Could it be that I finally unlocked the extremely convenient ability in this borderland? !

——Oh wow! Great, do it again, do it again!

I closed my eyes again, and in my mind, I kept picturing the appearance of the Round Table Hall. Of course, in order to avoid making any mistakes, I used the method Melina told me and added the old blacksmith Xiu Gu, who would never leave the Round Table Hall, into the picture...

Gradually, gradually, I seemed to feel that my body seemed to become lighter.

The wind blew past my ears.

I will turn into a bird and fly...

"When did you come? Are you standing here like an idiot?" Roger's words seemed to become particularly rough and impolite.

When I turned around, I saw a messy head like seaweed.

"Oh my gosh! Water monkey!"

"What the hell? You want to fight?" This guy was completely unforgiving and fierce in his words.

But when I saw that he was holding a large red shrimp claw in his other hand, I suddenly remembered: "Shrimp Brother!"

——It turns out that I was just teleported to Brother Xia’s dilapidated house.

"... You're yelling and shouting, you're just an idiot." Brother Xia shook his head helplessly, turned around and walked towards the fire. "Would you like something to eat?"

"Yes!" I immediately followed him.

——No, now is not the time to be so excited!

What about Roger?

What about the Round Table Hall?

I pinched myself and it hurt. I wasn't dreaming.

Could this be the power of the great blessing?

Compared to the ordinary blessed light, it can better sense A-Tai's consciousness, so even a novice like me was successfully transmitted back to the border in one go? !

Roger probably doesn't know the location of this place... Even if he knows, without any communication, he definitely won't come to Brother Xia's shabby house.

"Shit...shit! Totally...pizza! (It's over)." With a thud, I fell to my knees in a daze.

Brother Shrimp looked at me in confusion again: "What? No more runes? There's no need to kneel down directly... Hey - these are the prawns you helped me catch last time. These are the leftovers. I'll treat you to another meal."

——No, Brother Xia, you misunderstood!

——Although I really have no money, but, what’s more terrible is that I got separated from that guy Roger!

- If he gets cursed in that cemetery again, or if something happens on the way to Kalia Castle to find Lani, wouldn't all my previous efforts be in vain? !

However, the prawns are really delicious!
