Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

Chapter 513 Turnaround

After the magic duel with Selian ended, I learned from Latan that Sir Baizhi had arrived at Rhea Lukalia College before me and was still waiting for me?

With a hint of doubt, I followed Latan through the Azalea Church and came to a reception hall in the school building.

Sir Baizhi took off his helmet and sat calmly beside a coffee table. He picked up the teacup and took a sip.

What surprised me even more was that Roderica and Granny Enya were also beside Sir Baizhi, and even the twin old women? !

Several old ladies were drinking tea and talking quietly.

As soon as Little Red Riding Hood saw me, she immediately came over with a big smile on her face: "Master Ling, you're here! Long time no see."

"Rodlika, why are you here too?" I was surprised and happy, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

Roderica explained, "After the Golden Tree burned, I returned to the Round Table Hall and found that it was also on fire, so the Lord brought everyone out by force. We also expected that you would come here, so we have been waiting here... However, you still have to duel with the teacher who teaches magic. In order to avoid distracting you, the Lord asked us to keep silent for the time being and meet you."

As he spoke, Lord Baizhi also put down his teacup, stood up, and walked over to say, "Although I had expected you to win, I didn't expect that you could actually beat that Se Lian in the theory of [Origin]. You are truly a unique existence, Young Zero."

As he said this, his old face between his long white hair showed that everything was under his control.

I said modestly, "I just used brute force to blow up the stadium. When it comes to real magic, I can't compare to Teacher Seren."

——By the way, Baizhi knows everything. Could it be that he also went to watch the duel between me and the teacher just now?

Thinking about it, after witnessing the outcome of the duel, Baizhi hurried back and then pretended to drink tea elegantly. I couldn't help but worry about his old bones.

Of course, it is also possible that he has already placed people in the college.

However, these are not a big deal right now, as long as he doesn't set his sights on the "Full Moon Queen" Lena.

"Sir, what do you want to talk to me about?" I stopped chatting and got down to business.

Baizhi also said frankly: "I heard from Nepheli what happened to you in the Snow Region. It was indeed beyond my expectations...Bennar, the traitor, got his hands on the Mad Fire and stole your achievements. He followed the guidance of the fire to Fam Azra. Nepheli tried every means to find a way for you to go there."

“…Really? That really made her worried.” Thinking of Nepheli’s face, I couldn’t help feeling a little apologetic.

In the snowy plains, I was thrown off balance by Bernard's unexpected move, but she had been helping me take care of the follow-up matters. It seemed that once we left the forbidden area, she would go straight to look for Baizhi.

After all, in her eyes, her adoptive father is still an omniscient being.

Baizhi continued: "There is a way to go to Fam Azra..."

"Huh? Really?!" My eyes lit up involuntarily.

The other party nodded, but immediately reached out to interrupt my question before I could open my mouth: "I know that you must be anxious to go to the ancient dragon's sky city now, but before that, I have a big question that I want to ask you first."

"..." I seemed to have a premonition that Baizhi wanted to ask something, "Sir, do you want to ask where I came from?"

The other party did not deny it.

He sighed, but it seemed that there was no need to hide his identity any longer. After all, it seemed that there was no point in saying it. Besides, if he kept delaying, the world would be destroyed soon. Why should he keep thinking about his own little things?

"I'm actually from a different world called Earth. How should I put it? It was an era without magic, but compared to the border area, our technology is far more advanced than here." I racked my brains and described the 21st century where I originally lived.

I don’t know if everyone present understood what I said, but except for Baizhi, their expressions were all surprised, and Roderica’s mouth was so wide open that she forgot to close it.

Of course, I also told everyone a little bit about the game "Elden Ring". Through the extraordinary imagination of Hidetaka Miyazaki and Mr. Martin, I came into contact with and understood this world, and was deeply involved in it. As a result, I was really summoned to the border.

Roderica couldn't help but sigh softly: "No wonder, Master Zero's soul looks a little different from ours, so that's it..."

Bai Zhi asked, "What you just said was that you chased a golden butterfly through the fog and came to the world we are waiting for?"

"Hmm? However, I thought I was dreaming at that time. I didn't expect that everything would come true." I also felt a little emotional. Even today, when I talk about this matter seriously, I still feel that it is a little unreal.

Baizhi frowned slightly and remained silent for a long time.

"What's wrong, sir?" I couldn't help but ask curiously.

“······Is this really God’s will? Queen Marika.” Baizhi suddenly raised his head and uttered something incomprehensible.

"Sir?"

He came back to his senses, shook his head at me helplessly, and then continued: "Sure enough, Ling, you are the biggest variable in this border area. No wonder even the Mad Fire disciples tried their best to win you over."

"...To be honest, I just feel like they are adding fuel to my fire."

"But under their scheme, for the sake of your beloved, didn't you go to the Royal City of Rodel and almost met the fire that intended to destroy the world?" Baizhi looked at me leisurely. Sure enough, this old guy had even investigated the feud between Mongget and me, although I didn't know what means he used.

However, there was no mockery or contempt in his eyes, instead there was a hint of unintentional sadness.

But the sadness was fleeting, and was covered up by Bai Zhi under his indifferent expression. He said: "In this case, there are some things that you really have to do."

"...Now, Sir, can you tell me, is there any other way to go to the broken sky city Fam Azra?" I also returned to the original topic.

Baizhi walked back to his seat with his cane: "In Rodel, you should make friends with the ancient dragon Lance Shanks, then..."

I interrupted him: "Ancient Dragon is now tainted with the curse of death. It will take quite a while for her to recover."

"... Oh, come to think of it, you took the ancient dragon to see Godwin, no wonder... Then, there is a four-bell tower on the east coast of Lienia."

"As for the Fourth Bell Tower, my brother Ling and I have already gone to take a look. It was destroyed when Dujuan was guarding it." This time, it was Latan who helped me explain.

All of a sudden, Ling Baizhi was speechless: "Sure enough, that crazy guy has also considered this."

——······Lao Deng, your methods are not exactly the same as mine, right?!

"... In that case, I'm afraid that's the only place. However, as the shadow of Queen Marika, will you allow us to go there knowing the consequences?"

--There?

Although I don't know what Baizhi is referring to, but when it comes to the way to Fam Azra, I suddenly remembered the two tips given to me by the Master of the Golden Mask, so I quickly took them out and asked him: "Sir, you are knowledgeable, do you know what this is?"

Bai Zhi took a look and said, "Is this... a statue of the dead rune?"
