Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

Chapter 135 Meeting with Two Fingers

With my rather sinister smile reflected in his eyes, Diaros with wavy hair immediately jumped up from his chair like a rabbit, and even retreated behind Roderica, shouting: "You, you quickly tell me your name, how dare you go against me, Hoslao!"

"Oh wow, Khosrow speaks with blood, do you want to duel with me?" I rubbed my fists and cracked my fingers.

Diaros couldn't help swallowing, but his tone was still arrogant: "Since you know, why don't you apologize to me quickly."

"Apologize to you? You playboy, how dare you bully Roderica!"

"Eh?" Roderica seemed to have just come to her senses and quickly grabbed my fist that was about to be raised. "Zero, Master Zero, you misunderstood. I, I was not bullied."

And Diaros also frowned slightly: "Zero?"

I was also confused: "But I clearly saw him pestering you just now..."

"I just saw that the girl had a sad and unhappy face. As a senior in the Round Table Hall, I stepped forward to inquire about the situation." Diaros said confidently.

"Eh?"

Even Roderica continued, "Yes, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you two. I, I was just wondering why no one was in the hall today... and I couldn't find anything I could do, so..."

——Did I really misunderstand Diaros?

Looking at the pure eyes of the two people, without the slightest hint of lying, I didn't know what to say for a moment... Forget it, a real man can bend and stretch.

I bowed to Diaros and apologized: "I'm sorry, Diaros, I wronged you."

Diaros also accepted it immediately: "It's okay, think about it carefully, if it was Lenya who was bullied, I would be as angry as you."

— Lenya?

——Oh, it’s the girl who died in the Lienia Lake District, and she was also Xiao Di’s follower.

I was about to tell the other party.

Diaros spoke to me first. "But are you really Zero? The man who defeated Greg in Stonewell?"

"Well, if I must say it, it was Nepheli and I who defeated Greg together." I corrected him modestly.

——Ah, it’s really not easy to be a celebrity in the border area.

——It seems like it’s time to practice signing, and find some bodyguards for future trips~

"So that elder sister also participated." Diaros muttered, and then saluted me as a knight. "However, you are also a true warrior. I, Diaros Khosrow, am also honored that you know me and remember my name... If my brother knew about this, he would definitely be very happy!"

——The Diaros here is a person who attaches great importance to the honor of his family.

I returned the greeting and asked curiously, "By the way, Diaros, why didn't I see you when I came to the round table before?"

"Ah, this..." Diaros touched his face awkwardly, "I, I have been traveling in the Lienia area, and I am trying to get to the Atan Plateau to find my brother Yuno Khosrow. I came back this time because something happened and I wanted to find someone to help me."

"Could it be that the Lenya you just mentioned is missing?" I asked tentatively.

Diaros' eyes widened and he quickly asked, "Do you know where she is? Zero!"

“······I suggest you look for the church area near the south gate of the Magic Academy. Maybe there will be clues there.” I don’t know if it’s too late. After all, when I saw the girl in the game, she had already died.

And I didn't see her along the way.

"So he went there again? Really, I told her not to go to Dujuan to cause trouble." Diaros held his forehead helplessly.

Roderica suddenly interrupted our conversation: "What happened to you?"

Diaros smiled bitterly. "Ah, it's because my follower is nosy. He saw a few Cuckoo Knights fighting against the Son of Platinum, so he got angry and insisted on helping them... I hope nothing will happen."

"No, Lord Khosrow, please go find her quickly!" Rodlika raised her voice by half an inch, sounding a little excited.

——Did her eyes see something again?

"I'll help you..." I had only said half of my words.

A slow and leisurely voice came from the hall again: "Excuse me, is the faded one named Zero still here?"

Turning around, I saw an old woman who was as thin as a stick, pale, and wrapped in tattered clothes, emerging from the room behind the round table with a cane.

"Hello, Grandma Enya." Rodlika greeted politely.

I bowed to the old lady, "Nice to meet you, Granny Enya. I am Zero."

Enya looked at me for a moment and then continued slowly, "Master Finger has been waiting for you for a while. Please move over here, Zero."

Having said that, the old man turned and walked into the gate.

——Why does it feel a bit like when I was a kid and was called to the office by my homeroom teacher to be scolded?

Diaros also continued, "Well, both of you, I will take my leave now and go to look for my troublesome follower. We'll see each other again when we have the chance."

Before leaving, this guy didn't forget to add: "By the way, Miss Roderica, if you have any difficulties in the future, please don't forget me, Diaros. I will do my best to help you then!"

——This guy, does he really not like my good little sister?

——In short, you have to be careful... No, why should I be careful? My fatherly mentality is overflowing again.

Shaking my head helplessly, I said goodbye to Roderica and walked into Shuangzhi's house.

This place is like a small conference room, with chairs lined up on both sides. And on the steps at the head, where the owner should have been, two huge fingers rose from the ground. When they saw me, they trembled slightly.

"Oh, Lord Finger is welcoming you, Zero." Grandma Enya said this, but she was still struggling to climb onto a tall chair.

——Well, to be honest, you don’t have to translate so diligently.

--Also, did you really climb down from that chair just to find me? Thank you for taking the trouble.

I sighed and walked forward: "Excuse me."

After saying that, I helped Grandma Enya onto the bench.

Looking back at the two fingers, if it was the first time seeing them, it would look like a hand with most of it stomped off, leaving only the index finger and the ring finger. In addition, the council room was dim and there was a pale, zombie-like old man next to it, one would think that a boss battle was about to take place.

However, I was used to seeing this kind of scene in the game, so I asked expressionlessly, "What does Master Finger want to talk to me about?"

The two fingers moved slowly, and Granny Enya also spoke slowly: "Lord Finger invited you here to inform you of the will of the Supreme Will. After all, it has been a long time since the little brat Gideon, there has been no holder of the Great Rune. You see, Lord Two Fingers is trembling, which means he is happy."

"Thank you, thank you." I bowed to the two fingers in a formal manner, and then asked Granny Enya, "But the so-called will of the Supreme Will is that I should continue to obtain the Great Rune and repair the Elden Ring, right?"

“That’s right.” Granny Enya nodded. “Lord Finger said: The great Elden Circle is the golden law - it keeps the world in order and brings well-being and blessings to life... However, the circle has been broken, and breaking the law is a heinous crime, and the evil consequences are of course inevitable... Now, the world and life are destroyed beyond measure, and curses and misfortunes are spreading everywhere... Even so, the Supreme Will will never abandon the world and life. Therefore, you Faded Ones will be blessed and guided, and be given a mission, and Faded Ones..."

"Granny Enya, please allow me to interrupt." After all, I knew the plot. Later on, it just told me to continue looking for the demigod, the offspring of Marika, to seize at least one more Great Rune, and then become the King of Elden and restore the Golden Law.

Both Shuangzhi and Granny Enya also stopped. She said, "Zero, if you have any questions, just ask."

"Since the whole world has been blessed with happiness and blessings, why would the queen known as 'Eternity', Marika, destroy the Elden Ring?" In the silent conference hall, my words were loud and clear, like a stone falling into stagnant water.

The next second, even though I was not able to interpret the meaning of the fingers, I could clearly feel a surge of intense anger and hatred erupting from those fingers.

——Oh my god, is this really going to trigger a boss battle?!
