Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

Chapter 428 Lian Bridge

After receiving the soul-summoning bell, I was still a little confused.

It seemed that because I helped Aleto release from prison, I was hurt by her and the Soul Summoning Bell was taken away from her. Finally, her daughter Dixi came out in person to block my attack at the moment when Aleto was about to be knocked down, and persuaded her mother to return the Soul Summoning Bell.

In this way, although there were some twists and turns, the original purpose was achieved.

I had collected almost all the treasures at the Moonlight Altar, so I asked the "Pyroxene Dragon" Adura to take me to the Rhea Lukalia College.

And after parting with his daughter again, Aleto staggered towards the sealed altar by himself.

——Perhaps, she actually did not intend to take revenge on anyone. It was just that as a mother, she hated herself for not being able to protect her daughter Di Xi. She even watched her daughter die under Di Xi's protection, and she regretted it until now.

Therefore, after Di Xi appeared, although he didn't say much, his gestures calmed Aleto down.

But now, she needs some time to adapt and forgive herself.

——Next time I come, maybe I can bring Roderica with me so that the mother and daughter can have a good heart-to-heart talk.

——But I don’t know whether my Little Red Riding Hood has returned to the hall.

While thinking, he closed his eyes and rested for a while during the steady flight of Yadula.

In a trance, the bright light shone through my eyelids, illuminating my dreams.

"Ow—"

Adura roared loudly, waking me up completely.

When he opened his eyes, he saw that the magic academy, Rhea Lukalia, which was lifted up from Lake Lienia by a rock like a giant hand, was already in front of him.

The dragon's roar also attracted the attention of everyone in the academy. They took the initiative to clear the square so that Adura could land in it.

"It's you, Brother Zero!" A burly man with red hair, carrying a black sword, looked up at me with a smile.

He seemed to be sparring with Jerry, the Lord of Red Lion City, in the square.

"General Ratan!" I also jumped off the flying dragon with a smile and walked forward to greet him, "How is your new body?"

"Hahaha, thanks to you, at least I can move freely!" As he said that, Latan casually waved and turned the greatsword a few times. It seems that he has really mastered it.

Jellian stepped forward and interrupted, "But without the demigod body that possessed the Great Rune, he is now about the same as you Faded Ones. His abilities should not be even one tenth of what they used to be."

"Hey, you're asking too much, Jerry! I think it should be twice as much as it used to be." Latan also laughed and refuted his old friend, "Last time, didn't we defeat the remnants of Dujuan? It was that guy Servais who complained to me every day, asking me to get hurt less, saying that a puppet body is hard to repair. But who doesn't get hurt in a war?"

——Sure enough, Servais is at the academy.

I took a closer look at Latan's body. It was just as he said, with scars all over his arms, legs and feet. No wonder Servais kept complaining.

Jellian also sighed: "Although it is a body made by Lady Lenara using the Great Rune, it is still unable to fully bear the fate of a demigod. The general is quite sleepy now. Zero, if you have something to say, you'd better say it quickly. I guess you'll have to rest again in a while."

——Sleepy...Is this the same as Lani? They are indeed siblings.

"We can always adapt, hahaha~" Latan was quite optimistic.

So I stopped talking and asked directly, "Is Iggy here?"

"Well, I heard that Lani called him here with many instructions. He has been staying in the library with his mother for the past two days."

"Well, let's go to the library. I have a lot of things to discuss with everyone." After a pause, I smiled and said to Latan, "General, if you want to rest, please postpone it for now."

"What are you talking about? Brother Ling, you are a benefactor to our Kalia royal family. How can you abandon your guests and not entertain them properly?!" Latan smiled and patted my shoulder. "Since we have something important to discuss, I will keep myself awake even if I bite my tongue."

——Well, there is no need to go to that extent, General.

So we went to the Great Library and called Mugram, who was guarding the door, in.

"Oh, Master Ling, long time no see." As soon as the door of the library opened, a slow greeting came from inside, "The princess has already embarked on the road of her destiny, right?"

"Ah, um...but who are you? Iggy?" I looked at the giant troll in front of me, a little stunned.

"Lord Ling, you are such a joker, or have you forgotten about this old man like me?" The other person stroked his beard with a smile.

It's really Iggy!

But you can't blame me for not recognizing him. This guy took off his mirrored helmet, and compared to the giant mountain troll, his appearance was as bold and unrestrained as that of Zhang Yide, the Yanren.

Iggy has long hair that droops down to his eyebrows, and a beard that has grown to his neck. He looks more like a gentle old man, and indeed looks like a military advisor.

I couldn't help but ask, "Where's your helmet, Iggy?"

Iggy explained: "Master Zero has already fought against the Shadow of Disaster transformed by Blaze, right? The mirrored helmet can block some of the mental interference of the two fingers, so I asked someone to bring it to him."

——Oh yeah! I forgot that the mirror helmet has such a function!

By the way, another mirror helmet can also be found in an underground cemetery on the east coast of Lienia. Why not go find one for Brother Wolf when you go to Stonewell next time?

"Brother Zero, so, Lani has indeed gone to the starry sky to explore her laws?" Latan confirmed again.

I also nodded and briefly described the scene when Lani and I met at the Moonlight Altar.

All the people of Kalia were naturally delighted. Even Lenara raised her head from the amber jade in her arms and looked towards us.

"Also, there is news about the royal city of Rodel." I then briefly described to everyone the seal of the Golden Tree, the invasion of Mad Fire, the murder of the King of Blessing, and the current turbulent situation.

Even so, the conversation lasted from day to night.

During this time, everyone naturally had many questions, but I answered them one by one, and at the same time explained to everyone the law that I currently wanted to implement.

"······This is the situation. The Broken War has lasted too long, and the border area has also gone into decline. Now, only if we unite and overcome this difficulty together can we have a chance to continue life on this land." I was so thirsty after hearing what he said that I couldn't help but drink a whole glass of water. I also took this opportunity to look at everyone's expressions and attitudes.

"I didn't expect that so many big things happened in Rodel during this period..." Iggy spoke first: "Master Zero, how confident are you about integrating the new laws and changing the border area?"

"······Actually, I can't say whether I can create the most perfect law. But it's better to try than to do nothing and wait for extinction." I said firmly.

"Good!" Ratan slapped his thigh, "As expected of you, Brother Zero! If you want to become the King of Elden, such ambition is indispensable!"

"Moreover, for us, it would be great if Lord Zero could become the King of Elden." Iggy also nodded.

——The implication is, do they agree?

"However, it is indeed surprising that the current King of Blessing is actually the Son of Evil Omen... He is also the offspring of Queen Marika, right?" Jie Lian has already started talking about other topics.

And Latan also talked about it with relish: "Speaking of which, Jellian, do you remember? When we led the army to attack Rodel before, we encountered an evil omen demon with courage that could not be defeated by ten thousand people... Could he be the current King of Blessing?"

"No, that's right, General, you don't mind, do you?" I tried cautiously.

Latan laughed heartily and said, "Hahaha, as an enemy, that guy is indeed quite tricky! But that also means that as an ally, he will be quite reliable! If there is a chance, I really want to fight with him again... Brother Zero, how about you help me arrange this matter?"

"Yeah, no problem."

Unexpectedly, the matter of the joint blessing king was passed unanimously by Kalia so easily, which made people overjoyed.

We continued to discuss some follow-up matters until one corner of the night, the lake was once again illuminated by the dawn.

Dawn is slowly coming.
