[dark souls iii]: So you just kidnapped the Rice Maiden?
[Sekiro]: Kidnapped my ass. We're a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman. Since when does a monster like you get to object?
[dark souls iii]: Heh, ptooey~ Disgusting. She's just an innocent young girl and you're tricking her. Bah, shameless! I only look for adults. You're too shameless, ptooey! You're practically a pervert, worse than a pervert! And you even want her to remember you fondly? One word: Disgusting! Too disgusting!
[Sekiro]: Brother, you know me. Rejecting the 'youthful' aesthetic starts with you and him.
[Nioh 2]: What a selfless spirit.
[Nioh 2]: Brother, you know me. I am single-mindedly devoted to Hide.
[dark souls iii]: Brother, you know me. I am single-mindedly devoted to the Fire Keeper.
[Genshin Impact]: Brother, you know me. I never do things that involve bullying others with power; I like to win them over slowly.
[ghostwire: tokyo]: Brother, you know me. I'm an evil spirit; I don't even have a physical body.
[Gourmand Dungeon]: Brother, you know me. I'm a zombie, and I happen to like evil spirits.
[ghostwire: tokyo]:???
[Gourmand Dungeon]: Get lost, I was talking about my boss, not you.
[clash of clans]: I can see it now. You all have your unique skills, but there's definitely a pervert among us.
[dark souls iii]: Who? Who is it?
[Sekiro]: I know! That pervert is you! Chief!
[clash of clans]: Meow meow meow?
[Sekiro]: Even acting like a cat, disgusting. Who doesn't know you've built a harem? If we're counting the biggest pervert, it's gotta be you. You didn't even spare the Witch—she doesn't even have a lower body!
[clash of clans]: How did you kno— Bah, what nonsense! How could I be that kind of person? I'm the Chief; they were all voluntary!
[dark souls iii]: The Chief's face flushed red, the veins on his forehead bulging as he argued, "Voluntary things can't be called per— Gentlemanly! Can a Chief's business be called perverted?" Then came a succession of incomprehensible phrases, like "they were voluntary" and "I didn't want to either," causing everyone to burst into laughter. The group was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
[clash of clans]: Ashen One, you! You've betrayed our Silly Sand-Sculpture Alliance!
[dark souls iii]: True sand-sculptures don't care about alliances; they just go wherever the fun is.
[clash of clans]: My trust was misplaced, the love is gone. It was just my unrequited affection after all.
[elden ring]: As soon as I entered the group, I saw you guys bullying the Chief. Truly, the world's morals are declining, and people's hearts are no longer what they used to be.
[elden ring] @[Sekiro]: Did you get the immortal severance yet?
[Sekiro]: I got it, but only baitai. I still haven't found the 'Open Gate' Genichiro yet.
Not long after he returned to Ashina Inner Castle with the Rice Maiden, Genichiro sent a letter. After mentioning he would go look for the immortal severance, he detailed the defeat of the Interior Ministry and how useful those magic potions were.
In the text, he obscurely asked Xia Yu to send more magic potions to crush the Interior Ministry army in one fell swoop. Of course, if Xia Yu could come in person, that would be even better.
The Onmyodo seals carved on his body had directly turned him into a ghost-god of the battlefield. If Xia Yu could come, the two brothers could definitely keep the Interior Ministry in a state of fear, never daring to target Ashina again.
At the end of the letter, Genichiro tsundere-ly wrote that if he didn't want to come, he didn't have to; he could protect everyone alone, and Xia Yu should just focus on his own business.
Seeing this, Xia Yu wanted to laugh a little. This Genichiro really hadn't changed much since they were kids. Since he put it that way, Xia Yu simply had to go.
Therefore, although Xia Yu had planned to go find trouble with the Headless and the Shichimen Warrior, since his elder brother had given the word, his brother's side was naturally more important.
However, with the portal, it wasn't much of a hassle. He would just treat it as a trip out to have some fun.
[Sekiro]: So, for now, I only have one baitai. 'Open Gate' will have to wait, and the Divine Dragon's side will have to wait too.
[elden ring]: Not a big problem. I just suddenly thought of the Death Prince's face skin under Stormveil Castle. It has an extremely thick power of Cursed Death. I'm thinking if I can learn from the immortal severance and create a Cursed Death Slash.
[Sekiro]: Cursed Death Slash? You learned blacksmithing?
[elden ring]: How fresh! I shamelessly learned the art of forging from Master Hewg, and combined with the other artifact-refining methods we shared, I can be considered a master blacksmith now.
In the elden ring World, Master Hewg is an ugly Misbegotten slave. He is shackled in a side room of the Table of Grace, endlessly providing weapon forging services for the Tarnished.
However, because of his overly ugly appearance and lowly status, Hewg suffered much ridicule and eventually stopped trusting the Tarnished.
But Xia Yu, knowing the plot, knew how powerful Master Hewg was. This Misbegotten blacksmith could forge god-slaying weapons in the late game. When discussing the plot before, some had speculated that the Black Knife that slew the gods was one of Hewg's past works.
Regarding this speculation, although Xia Yu wanted to ask Hewg, Hewg, who detested the Tarnished, certainly wouldn't tell him the answer.
But whether the god-slaying Black Knife was forged by Hewg or not, it was undeniable that in the late game, Hewg did indeed forge a god-slaying weapon.
So Xia Yu decided to follow the in-game plot first. He first had little red, Rodrika, take Hewg as her master to learn Spirit Tuning.
Once the relationship between the two improved, he would then use her recommendation to build a good relationship with Hewg, and subsequently learn forging from him.
Perhaps his talent really was that good, as even Hewg, who usually had a sour face, praised his forging talent and believed his future forging skills would surely surpass his own.
By now, although he was still learning, he could already upgrade and forge weapons for himself.
[elden ring]: So, I want to forge a Cursed Death Slash to show Hewg as a result of my studies, to let him know his teaching wasn't in vain.
[Sekiro]: Tarnished, you're so gentle.
[elden ring]: Eww~
[Sekiro]: I've sent the weapon in a Red Envelope. Collect it yourself. Just put it back when you're done studying.
[elden ring]: Sure. Anyway, after I forge the Cursed Death Slash, you guys will be able to learn this forging method through the synchronized memory.
[Sekiro]: But not many of us like forging. It's like how the zombie likes cooking; although we all have the culinary memories after synchronized memory, he's still the only one who actually likes cooking.
[elden ring]: Tsk, rotten wood cannot be carved.
[Sekiro]: You XX!
...elden ring World, edge of Mistwood.
Xia Yu was sitting at a site of grace chatting. After he had hunted Flying Dragon Agheel, he went to the Dragon Communion Altar across the sea to perform the Dragon Communion ritual and gained the power of Dragonfire.
Normally, he should have gone to snatch Godrick's shard of the elden ring after that, but being impulsive, he went to learn forging from Hewg instead.
Now he should have been going under Stormveil Castle to find the Death Prince's face skin to forge the Cursed Death Slash, but he suddenly thought of the wolf-man Blaidd in Mistwood.
Therefore, he came here, planning to get to know Blaidd first, and then go together to subjugate the Hound Knight Darryl to build some battle camaraderie.
After all, Blaidd is the brother of his wife Ranni—his brother-in-law.
