"Take the big rune in amber and exchange it for a chance to make a wish to me."
"Whatever you wish for is fine."
Li Ang slowly explained his purpose to the Moon Princess. The reason why he dared to say such confident words was because he knew very well what Lani's biggest wish was at the moment.
Find the lost city-state sunk deep underground - the Eternal City.
Ever since she faked her death to escape from the shackles of the Supreme Will, she has been secretly planning, and finding the Eternal City is the first step in her plan.
After listening to Li Ang's words, smart Lani did not ask such stupid questions as "How did you know there were big runes in amber?", but the taunting of a tsundere princess was indispensable.
"Wish come true, huh, the Eternal Goddess doesn't even dare to make such a promise to me."
"I found that in addition to being glib and bold, you also like to talk big."
Then, she changed the topic: "However, you are not worthless. Being able to see your mother shows that you are pretty good. Looking at Torrett's face, I can give you a chance."
"Find the entrance to the Eternal City, and I will give you the Great Rune."
"There is no need to mention such things as wishes, you can't realize them."
Lani's move was a three-pole attack. The big rune was useless to her anyway, so she might as well throw it out as bait.
"Are you sure?" Li Ang deliberately imitated her tone and learned what she once said: "I hope you won't regret today's decision."
The Princess of the Moon suddenly became furious and wanted to use her staff to smash the man in front of her to death.
Why is this person so annoying!
But because she came through her mother's body, she repeatedly warned herself to maintain the demeanor that a queen should have and not be as knowledgeable as Li Ang.
"Long talk! If you don't want to agree, leave quickly!"
Li Ang had a premonition that Lani would be really angry if he continued to tease her, so he put away his playful intentions and said seriously: "You can agree, but you must give me the big rune first."
"Don't refuse in a hurry. Listen to the conditions below."
"First of all, I will not only help you find the entrance, but I can also help if necessary later. Second, the Holy Tree cooperates with the Kaliya royal family to jointly resist the academy and the Cuckoo Legion."
"How about it, are you satisfied with these conditions?"
After hearing this, Lani showed a serious thinking expression on her face.
Although she said she would give up everything and go deep into the darkness, in fact she was worried about her mother, the Kaliya royal family, and Lienia as a whole.
If she could cooperate with the Holy Tree, it would greatly reduce her current pressure and allow her to focus more on other places. As for the follow-up help Li Ang mentioned, she thought it was unnecessary.
After a moment, Lani slowly said: "I agree, but I can't give you the things yet."
"When you meet the representatives of the Holy Tree and the two sides confirm their cooperation, this great rune will truly belong to you."
She's not stupid. She can't take away what's in her hand with just her mouth.
The Undestined Born is indeed of no use to her, but after all, it is a fragment of the magic ring. How can it be given away casually?
"Okay." Li Ang expressed his understanding. Regardless of whether he was looking for the entrance or cooperating with the Holy Tree and Kallia, he was fully confident that sooner or later this big rune would be his.
Needless to say, the entrance to the Eternal City, anyone who has played the game knows how to find it.
It is necessary to talk about cooperation. In fact, when the Faded Ones returned, the Holy Tree and Carlia already had a connection, as evidenced by the [Knight of the Guards-Loretta] who was responsible for guarding the city of Carlia.
In the later stages of the game, this knight can also be found on the Holy Tree map, but her name has changed from [Guard] to [Holy Tree], which is the Holy Tree Knight-Loletta.
The existence of this man speaks volumes.
Li Ang is using the results to deduce the process, so he will naturally be confident.
Moreover, he also knew the whereabouts of Brother Marlenia. Based on this, he would cooperate with whomever he wanted the Holy Tree to cooperate with.
It's just that Li Ang understands that it is impossible to suffer a loss.
"Looking for the Eternal City and cooperating with the Holy Tree are two different things. The reward is only a big rune, which I feel is not enough."
Lani's face was full of disdain and she sneered: "I found that you are not only glib, bold, and talkative, but also greedy and profit-seeking!"
"So what." Li Ang was imitating her words again: "I didn't steal or rob, I'm aboveboard!"
Lani tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart: "Whichever of the two things you complete, I will give you the big rune."
"What if I do it all?" Li Ang asked with a smile.
Lani took a deep breath, her endurance was about to reach its limit: "Then I will give you corresponding compensation. Now you are satisfied!"
The last few words were almost forced out from between the teeth.
Li Ang stopped as soon as he was satisfied and stopped provoking her: "Satisfied, satisfied, quite satisfied."
Lani really didn't want to see this annoying face: "I usually stay in the mage tower behind the walled city. If you have any clues, come to me."
After saying that, her consciousness exited her mother's body without hesitation.
After the Princess of the Moon left, Lenara whispered strangely: "Lani, my dear daughter, walk towards the dark night that belongs to you."
Then, he changed back to his confused appearance.
Li Ang took a deep look at Man Yue. It was possible to fake a mental disorder.
But what does Lenora's real madness have to do with him.
"I'm leaving now, mother-in-law. I'll come visit you next time I have a chance."
Just as he was about to take action, Li Ang suddenly thought of something. First he touched a handful of amber, confirming that the big rune was indeed taken away by Lani, and then stared at a locked box in the corner of the library.
He put the box into the equipment slot. Seeing that Lenara had no special reaction, he took the Queen's Staff from her hand and ran out of the library.
If the big rune is not obtained, it is reasonable to collect the interest first.
Thinking of what he was about to do, Li Ang felt that Lani would definitely not blame him, and maybe even say thank you to him.
There is no need to go into details about how to leave the academy. In short, the pyroxen mages are miserable.
They have already begun to mobilize the cuckoo knights stationed on the east bank of Lake Lienia to return to defense.
Invisibly, he helped Lani again.
"It's unjustifiable if we don't give him some good compensation in the end." Li Ang muttered as he hurried on, and soon he arrived at an island in the north of the lake, not far from the place agreed with Finley.
At this moment, his intuition suddenly told him that there must be something good here.
After a careful search, I finally found a spire mage tower in the center of the island.
It's not the same one that Lani was talking about just now.
Since pyroxen mages travel around to observe the starry sky, abandoned mage towers like this are more common in border areas.
There are only a few well-preserved ones, and the one in front of you is one of them.
Its entrance has the same magic seal as the academy. The way to unlock it is simple. Find and kill the three wise beasts.
At this point, Li Ang almost knows what the good things are.
Easily find three big turtles that look very wise, send them back to the embrace of the golden tree, then enter the top floor of the mage tower and get the treasure in the box.
It sounds simple, but it’s not difficult at all.
But if he hadn't happened to meet it, Li Ang would never have remembered that there was such a thing.
There is no way, there are too many scattered things in the world of Dharma Ring, and it is inevitable that some things will be missed.
The name of the treasure is very simple - Memory Stone.
Its function is to increase the spell slot of the caster, so that he can learn to cast an additional magic.
Li Ang is a foreigner and is not restricted by spell slots, so when the memory stone is in his hands, it becomes an increase in equipment grids.
This was the best news for him.
He was worried about the grid crisis, and when he thought about not being able to take back so many good things from the border area, he felt like there were ants crawling all over his body.
If Li Ang remembers correctly, there are a total of 8 memory stones, and their locations are very scattered. You have to pay more attention in the future and collect them all no matter what.
Although 14 grids are still shabby.
He continued on his way with a happy mood. For Li Ang, the increase in backpack grids was more satisfying than obtaining big runes.
So he planned to pass on this joy to others.
"Xiaomei Xiaomei, please answer if you hear me."
After shouting several times, Melina replied in a helpless tone: "If you have something to say, just tell me. Also, my name is not Xiaomei."
Li Ang said plausibly: "Huh, doesn't this show that we have a good relationship?"
"No, not good at all." Melina couldn't help but sigh: "We just met not long ago, I don't even know your name."
Li Ang said in a weird accent: "That's it."
"Girls should protect themselves outside and don't be deceived by others with just a few words."
Melina's eyes flashed with countless questions. Didn't you beg me to follow you for nothing? Why is it still my problem now?
"You're definitely very good at making people angry."
"If you have something to say, I'll leave if nothing happens."
Even if he could only hear her voice, Li Ang could feel her full of resentment. It would be good to have more mood swings, so that others would not laugh at her for being a little idiot.
"It's nothing serious. I just want to tell you that the weather is nice today. Remember to come out and enjoy the scenery if you have time."
Melina was silent for a long time and said calmly: "I will."
After a while, she took the initiative to chat: "I found that you are very unique. You are different from everyone in the junction. You are lazy and impatient. You have no accurate goals for the future, but you always move towards the goals."
"I will continue to observe you to confirm whether you are the person I am looking for."
Li Ang smiled noncommittally: "Are you determined to assist me, even if I clearly said that I will not become the next King of Elden?"
Melina didn't want to answer this question at first, but she felt it lacked due courtesy, so she simply said: "For now."
Li Ang praised: "Wise move."
Melina retorted mercilessly: "It's just that there is no better choice at the moment."
"It has nothing to do with me whether you become a king yourself or help others become kings. I just want to complete my mission."
Li Ang suddenly asked: "Is the mission that important?"
"It is the meaning of my existence." Melina replied numbly.
Li Ang did not dwell too much on this issue, but changed the topic.
"Do you know where the entrance to the Eternal City is?"
"How can we find the Blood King - Monger?"
"How to get to Great Blessing?"
Faced with his questions in turn, Melina gave the same answer: "I don't know."
The Eternal City has been lost for thousands of years, and very few people can even name it completely.
How could she possibly know where the entrance was.
The location of the Mongwen Dynasty established by Mongge is even more secret. It is impossible to arrive without receiving an invitation from him.
As for the Great Blessing, it was not reestablished until the return of the Faded Ones, and now it simply does not exist.
There is a round table hall in the royal city that is exactly the same as the Great Blessing, but it has been gradually abandoned since the first king Ge Fulei and his generals were expelled from the border area.
Not to mention how to get there, Melina had never even heard of this name. She felt that Li Ang was deliberately making things difficult for her.
But even so, she still expressed her apology sincerely.
"I'm sorry, I failed to fulfill my responsibilities as a finger witch and give you the right guidance."
Li Ang didn't expect to hear the answer from her mouth, he just wanted to tease her.
"It's not a big problem. Even a real witch can't know everything. You've actually done a good job."
Melina's voice was a little low: "I haven't done anything yet, and it's far from good."
"Isn't it good enough to choose me?" Li Ang invited with a smile: "If you can find the Eternal City, how about you accompany me for a walk? It is part of the junction, and there are also many creatures you cherish."
"I remember you said that as long as life exists, the world will continue to grow."
“While moving towards your mission, don’t forget to take a look at the scenery along the way, so that your mission will be more valuable to realize.”
Melina fell into deep thought again, and then spoke after a long time:
"I'm glad you remember what I said."
"Perhaps I was too unfounded at the beginning. You don't seem like a person who would accept unclean fire."
Li Ang was not fooled by her little trick and asked, "So what's your answer?"
Melina then replied ambiguously: "Besides following you, do I have any other choice?"
After that, she never spoke again.
Li Ang did not disturb her, mounted the spirit horse and started to drive in earnest.
Although he always liked the name "Big Wife, Big Wife", in fact, he didn't think much about Melina, and felt more distressed for her.
The mission of her existence is to use herself as a guide to ignite the golden tree and restore order to the chaotic borderland in order to save all living things. Therefore, except for the epilepsy that destroys the world, she can accept other endings.
It can even be said that Melina lives to die.
Li Ang just wanted her to see more of the world she was destined to save before she died.
Putting away the chaotic thoughts, we have arrived at the place agreed with Finley.
In the ruins of a royal territory, Li Ang discovered the tall and upright figure of the female knight.
Finley also saw him at this time and waved vigorously: "Here!"
Li Ang urged his horse over and asked, "Where are your highness and the teacher?"
"Where is the teacher?" The female knight touched Thoret's mane curiously: "It's actually a spirit horse. This thing seems to be the favorite mount of witches. It seems that you have been blessed along the way."
Li Ang then thought about it and it was true. Since entering the border area, he has only dealt with women.
"Se Lian, the teacher who taught me magic."
Fen Lei suddenly realized: "Haha, tell me, she hasn't started teaching yet. She is so attentive. She definitely has other intentions!"
Li Ang said helplessly: "Can we not sound like a resentful woman in the palace?"
"I've only been gone for a long time and you're acting like this. Could it be that you're interested in me?"
"Get out!" Fen Lei punched him in the chest: "You are taking advantage of me, right? I'm not blind!"
Then, she explained: "His Royal Highness is in the tent behind the ruins, and Se Lian is chatting with a mountain demon blacksmith. He also wears a shiny helmet, which looks strange."
"By the way, what did you do? The Kaliya royal family actually sent tents and food?"
There is no extra update today, don’t wait any longer
