"Uh, what I mean is, go find your mother, Full Moon Queen Lenora."
Li Ang rearranged his words to make the language less offensive.
Seeing that her identity was revealed, Lani, who called herself Witch Rena, couldn't help but frowned: "Do you know me?"
Li Ang replied: "I've heard of it. This must be the first time we meet."
"Interesting." Lani folded her four hands and put them on her abdomen, and said unhurriedly: "I'm sorry I just lied to you. I'm Lani."
"In the past I stole death, now I find my way deeper into the darkness."
"What is your purpose, unknown traveler?"
Li Ang asked meaningfully: "You have already taken the initiative to come to me, and you still don't know my purpose?"
Lani was lost in thought, she had rarely seen such a difficult person.
The other person seems to know himself very well, but he knows nothing about him.
"As Malenia's dependent, just send her back to the Holy Tree properly and avoid doing other meaningless things."
Li Ang said bluntly: "Shouldn't it be up to me to decide whether it's meaningful or not? Besides, is it meaningless to rescue your imprisoned mother?"
"No." Lani paused and added: "One day, I will betray everything and give up everything."
Li Ang curled his lips: "Okay, it sounds quite interesting."
Lani continued: "Give up trying to enter the academy, and I will compensate you accordingly."
She was actually worried about the same thing as Finley. She was afraid that Li Ang would do something to destroy the situation she had finally created in Lienia.
At present, the situation in the college and Kallia is relatively stable. Although my mother is imprisoned, there is no fear for her life.
Only then can she free up her hands to accomplish her goals.
Unexpectedly, Li Ang rejected her directly: "Sorry, I have no interest in compensation."
Lani's dark blue eyes stared at the man in front of her, and she couldn't help but feel a little angry: "I hope you won't regret today's decision."
After saying that, her body disappeared like the wind.
The first contact with the Moon Girl was not a pleasant one, or she was not very pleasant.
But Li Ang didn't care.
To deal with tsundere, there are ways to deal with tsundere.
He just wanted Princess Lani to go back and rest early.
Thinking about it carefully, when the two met and communicated just now, there was always a arrogant secret.
She deliberately appeared in Shiting nearby, allowing Li Ang to discover her on his own initiative.
In order to maintain her majesty, she took the trouble to stand on the railing and talk to Li Ang.
Although of little use
As we all know, in Junction, everyone is taller than a faded person, but Lani is a head shorter than a faded person.
Even if he stood on the railing, he could only look at eye level with Li Ang at most.
Li Ang didn't want Princess Lani to be overworked, so he drove her away. This move was heartwarming.
He was almost moved.
Moved, Li Ang continued to go looking for the whereabouts of the pyroxene key.
I also killed a few giant lobsters along the way. I was beaten by Brother Shrimp a lot in the game, and I had to come back with revenge.
As I was walking, I passed by a ruins and unexpectedly found another person who had not slept in the middle of the night.
She is a blind girl with blond hair and a piece of cloth wrapped around her face.
Hearing the sound of treading water approaching, she immediately asked, "Is anyone there?"
Even though she couldn't see anything and she was staying in this gloomy lake area, the girl didn't feel uneasy at all and would even take the initiative to talk to passers-by.
"First meeting, hello, my name is Haida, I am traveling to find the lights on the other side."
"Here, I have a heartfelt request."
“If you have grapes from Chapolilli, could you please give them to me?”
"My eyes have been inconvenient since I was born, so I can't see clearly where to go, but as long as I eat those grapes, I can feel the lights of the other side from the depths of my eyes."
"Toward the light, to become the Finger Witch—that's my mission."
Through these words, Li Ang confirmed her identity, but was very confused as to why the follow-up mission had started before the pre-mission was triggered.
Can't wait to see him lose his temper, can you?
"I have grapes, but I don't want to give them to you," he said.
There was no emotion or anger on Haida's face: "That's such a pity. It's also my fault for being so presumptuous. I'm sorry for causing trouble to you."
After a while, she asked again: "Are you still there?"
Li Ang deliberately made a little noise to let her know: "What is the relationship between Irena from Moren City and you?"
The blind girl shook her head: "Sorry, I don't know the person you are talking about."
"You seem to like apologizing." Li Ang took out the strange eye-shaped grape from the equipment slot and put it into her hand: "You answered my question, this is my reward."
"Remember, the next time you ask for something from someone, don't just rely on your mouth."
"It's not a good habit to have sex for nothing."
Haida was overjoyed and couldn't wait to swallow the grapes: "Thank you, thank you for your help!"
"I will remember every word you say."
"I hope so." Li Ang turned around and prepared to leave, thinking at the same time.
This blind girl is also a poor person. I will give her a hand if I have the opportunity in the future.
Behind her, Haida was still saying words of thanks, and finally said to herself excitedly: "In this way, I can feel the lights on the other side again!"
After hearing this, Li Ang shrugged helplessly and ignored it.
The agent of the Supreme Will at the junction is the Finger. When the Faded One returns, the Finger will send a witch with a special bloodline to guide the Faded One to become the new King of Elden.
These witches are called finger witches.
Haida is one of them, but she only has the qualifications of a witch and has not officially changed her profession.
And she does not represent the Supreme Will, but another new born god.
Epilepsy.
His appearance was extremely dramatic. The "Three Fingers", which were originally the messengers of the Supreme Will, fell into madness due to some reasons, denied the Supreme Will, and intended to correct the mistakes made by the previous master, and met a group of equally crazy, Desperate believers.
From then on, a terrifying disease called [epilepsy] spread throughout the border area.
Whenever people who have been harmed, enslaved, and humiliated fall into despair, madness will descend on them in response to their desire to be freed from pain.
This is where the Epileptic Fire Sect appears.
He has power, messengers, and believers. All He lacks is a strong person.
A strong man who can conquer the border area, collect all the great runes, and recognize the doctrine of epileptic fire.
However, the ultimate goal of Epileptic Fire is not to recast the Elden Ring, but to destroy it, destroy the entire world, all living creatures will die, and everything will return to the original chaos.
This is the [King of Epileptic Fire] that the Epileptic Fire believers are looking forward to.
But the faded ones did not return. Although the fragmented kings were unruly, they were still generally operating under the rules set by the supreme will (on the surface), so he set his sights on Li Ang, who had killed the golden descendant at the beginning.
I think he is crazy.
I came to him anxiously, intending to impart the great teachings to him.
But Li Ang only wanted to be a serious person, so he rejected this path from the beginning.
Say goodbye to Haida and continue on our way.
When he was about to approach the church area, he was stopped again.
Li Ang was also convinced. What was going on with these people? Either none of them will show up, or they will all show up together. If this continues, he won't be able to enter the academy next year, let alone tomorrow.
"My appearance seems to bother you?"
The slender chestnut-haired girl landed lightly from the horned horse, took off her hood, and looked at Li Ang gently.
She also had one eye closed, and there were strange lines around the eye socket.
Lani has the right eye and she has the left eye.
The other eye is amber, clear and tranquil.
"Nice to meet you. A powerful traveler who has come through the mist. I am Melina. I want to negotiate a deal with you."
Li Ang was quite surprised by Xiaomu's appearance. He originally thought that he would not have anything to do with her on this trip.
This shows that all forces reacted quite quickly and took the initiative to contact him.
Perhaps it was because the old and decayed junction area lacked variables like him. Just killing a golden descendant became a mouth-watering meal.
Agreeing or rejecting a deal was not in line with Li Ang's style, so he spoke straightforwardly.
"Why did you come to me?"
Melina likes this kind of crisp dialogue, which can save a lot of unnecessary words.
"Although with your strength, you don't need the help of a small person like me, I still hope to remind you not to come into contact with the unclean fire of chaos again."
"Even though the world is in ruins, full of pain and despair."
"As long as life exists and the world continues to grow, everything will still be beautiful."
Li Ang replied casually: "Oh, that's it."
Seeing this situation, Xiao Mu once again earnestly advised him to stay away from epilepsy. She had never said so many words except chanting the motto of the eternal goddess Malika.
"Please take this as my request, please step back from the cliff in time?"
"The King of Mad Fire is not a king at all. In a world without life, how can there be a king?"
Li Ang signaled her to stop, and then asked: "Who told you that I want to be the king?"
"Ah?" Melina's mind suddenly became confused. She blinked and looked confused: "Then why did you take away the big rune?"
In spite of the nervousness, even the title became respectful.
Li Ang coaxed and said: "I am very interested in the beauty of adulthood. I plan to collect all the big runes, then select a lucky person, and finally give them all to him."
"I think you are good. Get ready and wait to be the next King of Elden!"
"Ah!" Melina's eyes widened and she waved her hands to refuse: "No, no, I'm afraid I can't shoulder such a heavy responsibility with my ability."
Li Ang reached out and patted her shoulder: "I said you can do it, you can do it!"
Xiaomu, who was in surprise, forgot to hide and stared at him blankly.
Li Ang then said deceitfully: "Looking at your good horses and oxen, you wouldn't refuse to trade the throne for a horse, right?"
The spirit horse next to Xiaomu snorted and couldn't help but take a step back.
Li Ang pretended not to see it: "I think you are a good person. You can stay and be a finger witch for me to guide my destiny."
——————
Ps1: Melina cannot become a king. Her mission is to burn the golden thorns that prevent players from becoming a king.
Ps2: Shattered War and Return of the Faded Ones. The timelines of the two events are very close. Although it is not stated clearly in the game, they should not be very old.
