I see—I'm sorry, I misunderstood!\" Kurariss apologized repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's fine,\" Arthur waved it off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then… why can't my sister speak?\" Kurariss finally asked the important question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your sister lost her ability to speak due to certain experiences,\" Arthur explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't tell her the truth—that Kurara had already died and become spirit ash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One reason was to avoid worrying Kurariss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other was that… explaining it properly might be too complicated for her to understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So if I want to talk to my sister,\" Kurariss said, \"does that mean I have to ask you to pass on my words?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Arthur nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then come watch the stars with us!\" Kurariss said brightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have so many things I want to tell my sister!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you not noticed… there aren't any stars visible here anymore?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? You're right!\" Kurariss looked up, then drooped sadly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why is it like this…? I finally reunited with my sister, and now we can't even see the stars…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur sighed as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she's been staying here all this time and never noticed the sky changing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to watch the stars with my sister,\" Kurariss said earnestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you help us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about you and your sister follow me for now,\" Arthur suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll take you to see the stars later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He definitely didn't trust Kurariss to lead Kurara on her own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knew if this airheaded jellyfish might drag her sister up the Giant's Mountaintop and get them both stepped on by giants?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really?!

I knew you were a good person!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She enthusiastically handed Arthur a Good Person Card—metaphorically speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she leaned in conspiratorially.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh! By the way! There's something good under these ruins! I don't tell just anyone!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur already knew there was something beneath the ruins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Elden Ring, every ruin hid at least one weapon or item underground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in his previous life, he'd never come here, never done Kurara's questline—so he had no idea what lay below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grew curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of \"good stuff\" would even impress a natural airhead spirit jellyfish?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur extended his mental perception, located the hidden entrance, and tapped the ground with his Staff of Death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The illusion covering the entrance instantly dissipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Incidentally, the Staff of Death was formerly known as the Prince of Death's Staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur had renamed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time he thought of the Prince of Death, he was reminded of that sewer-dwelling mermaid abomination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He really didn't want to associate with that imagery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Descending into the underground chamber, Arthur found it identical to other ruin basements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Game design was game design, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single chest rested in the center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur opened it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside lay a jagged, spike-covered stone blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rope was tied to the hilt, and the blade itself was stained with fresh, crimson blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite who knew how many years had passed, the blood hadn't dried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur instantly recognized the material.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was identical to Sellen's Primeval Glintstone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system scan revealed the item's description:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Primeval Glintstone Blade\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blood-soaked ancient glintstone knife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ancient sorcerers used this blade to carve open their hearts, transforming their souls into primeval glintstone and stepping into death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Effect:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>– Reduces FP consumption for sorceries and incantations by 25%\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>– Reduces maximum HP\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this was how Sellen's Primeval Glintstone had come into being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the description mentioned death, it actually symbolized rebirth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade transformed a person's soul into primeval glintstone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that state, comprehending glintstone sorcery became far easier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To put it bluntly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Primeval Glintstone Blade could turn someone with zero magical talent into a genius glintstone sorcerer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Advance Chapters Available on Patreon\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>patreon.com\u002FWhiteDevil7554\u003C\u002Fp>",1422,"2026-06-06T04:19:46.381Z",1,"novelbin.me","c24d2b8b2624d0aac6eace5b623211edfc589ea80b8a19d6659da64f362739de","starting-at-hogwarts-logging-into-elden-ring-chapter-215","starting-at-hogwarts-logging-into-elden-ring-chapter-213",281,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-at-hogwarts-logging-into-elden-ring-cover.jpg"]
