Se Lian's tone sounded a bit like she wanted to chop Li Ang alive.
The most basic starlight release of pyroxene magic was stumbling, but the most core prayer of the Golden Law was learned instantly. It was strange that she was not angry when she met such a strange apprentice.
It is simply an insult to her personality and teaching level.
Fenlei was even angrier than Se Lian. She asked Li Ang to learn to pray. Se Lian's blaming Li Ang was equivalent to blaming her.
However, just when the two of them started to choke, the main party involved, Li Ang, had already run away.
Based on his experience of wandering among women over the years, he felt that he would only be hurt if he continued to stay.
If you have this time, it’s better to go to Galede early.
Before leaving, Li Ang made a special trip to the blacksmith Iggy to ask for help in taking care of Marlenia and Finley, and to send more supplies and useful items during their stay.
These requests were easy for Iggy, so he naturally agreed.
You help me and I help you. Over and over again, friendship is gradually established.
After that, Li Ang still didn't rush to leave, but stopped and waited at a fork in the road not far from the ruins.
About ten minutes later, Se Lian appeared in a blue mage robe.
The moment she saw her apprentice, her eyes were full of joy and relief, and then quickly disappeared, returning to her usual calm state.
Only his steps were noticeably lighter.
"Why are you standing there stupidly? Let's go."
"Okay." Li Ang smiled and walked side by side with the teacher.
One of them is going to Galede and the other is going back to Kallia Academy, so they can keep company for a while.
On the way, Li Ang discussed: "How about I accompany you back to the academy first."
Se Lian refused directly without even thinking: "It's such a small thing, there's no need to worry about this incompetent apprentice."
Seeing her resolute attitude, Li Ang stopped pressing and handed her the pyroxene key.
"I know you have issues with Lenara, but can you please look out for my sake and don't do anything to her."
The female magician frowned and glanced sideways at him, wondering where she was thinking.
"Don't worry, I won't bully a mentally disturbed patient."
"That's good." Li Ang was relieved.
Although Ser Lian did not harm Lenara after taking control of the academy in the game and just moved her to the corner of the library, it is always safe to mention her more.
Without further ado, they traveled for several hours, and in a blink of an eye it was time for the two of them to part ways.
Although there was not much communication along the way, Se Lian still felt that this was the most relaxing journey she had felt recently.
Help the apprentice tidy up the wrinkled collar caused by a brutal and unreasonable female knight.
She said softly: "Be careful when you are alone. It doesn't matter if you can't find what you want. Come back to me and the teacher will help you find a solution."
Li Ang didn't speak, just opened his arms silently.
Se Lian did not refuse this time, and took the initiative to hug his apprentice and pat his back.
After a brief farewell, Li Ang called out the spirit horse and embarked on the road south.
Before heading to Nimgefu, he deliberately took the road to a place called the Reformation Tower on the north shore of the lake area and collected the third memory stone.
(The red wolf in Radagon in the academy will explode a memory stone. I forgot about it, so I’ll add it now.)
Finally, we returned to Stonewell City through the cliff near the lake.
I originally thought that without the rule of Limb-Grek, the city would gradually turn into a paradise for bandits and vagrants, but it turned out to be quite orderly.
Many residents and knights who volunteered to stay and continue to defend the city recognized Li Ang and showed a strange kind of respect and admiration, seeming to regard him as the new lord.
It's not surprising if you think about it carefully. In a place where strength is the most important, the weak are accustomed to relying on the strong.
When Li Ang defeated Greg, it proved that he was better than Greg, and he would naturally be recognized by others.
But Li Angzhi is not here. He can't even rule a village, let alone a city, or even the entire Nimgefu.
Then he stopped staying and headed east from Storm Hill until he reached Galed.
As less than a month had passed since the shocking battle between Malenia and Latarn, Galid had not yet completely transformed into the Red Earth Continent of later generations, but rampant corruption had already begun to take shape.
The vegetation was dead and dilapidated, and corpses were everywhere. There were a large number of sporadic spots similar to bacterial colonies on the ground. The clouds in the sky were strangely red, flowing and surging like a long bloody river.
In addition to corruption, the wounds left by the war can be seen everywhere. Broken spears, broken swords, broken shields, and burned military flags. In this war without a winner, no matter which side it is, they have paid their dues. A terrible price.
Since setting foot in Galede, Li Ang has not seen a living ordinary resident, but he has seen a lot of red lion knights who clean the battlefield and patrol around.
They are Latarn's subordinates. After the war, there are not many survivors.
Even so, he is still unwilling to give up his glory and pride, and with a heart of atonement, he is stationed throughout Galede, using very limited power to cull the ugly creatures mutated by corruption.
When Li Ang approached, the red lions kindly advised him to turn back.
They were the friendliest group of soldiers he had encountered since entering the border area.
However, the premise of friendship is that Li Ang transformed into a suit of clothes instead of the previous armor of the Rotten Knight.
"I'm looking for someone, don't worry about me."
The Red Lions are too lazy to persuade them. During this period of time, there are countless speculators who want to come to Galede to gain some benefits, but none of them have been able to escape unscathed so far.
If you want to die, go ahead.
Li Ang knew what they were thinking, so he didn't care and went straight to the depths of Galede.
Before contacting his brother-in-law Latarn, he had a few other things to do. The first was to go near the magic town [Celia] to find the founder of the academy - the origin magician: Luset.
As you can tell from the name, Celia is also a gathering place for magicians.
It was founded by a group of remnants of the Eternal City. At one time, it was as prestigious as the Kallia Academy. Even Latarn, the son of Queen Full Moon, came here to study.
It is a pity that this historic town could not escape the influence of the war, and it is no longer as prosperous as it used to be.
The closer you get to the hinterland of Geled, the more contaminated the surrounding environment is with corruption.
A pink miasma that smelled of putrefaction filled the air.
Even if ordinary people do nothing, just staying here is enough to contract a serious disease of corruption.
Fortunately, Thoret was not affected in his spiritual state.
After walking for almost an hour along the road built by the Golden Dynasty, at the pass in front of Celia Town, Li Ang reined in the reins and stopped moving forward.
He set off from Lienia in the morning, and it was now approaching evening, so he planned to take a short rest.
By the way, let's look for the place where Lusset is being held.
The expulsion stipulated by the college is not as simple as driving someone out, but finding a remote place to imprison them, and they will also have people watching to prevent them from escaping.
Lusset was imprisoned in a hidden cave behind Celia Town.
It is also sad that the legendary magician has fallen to this point.
While he was sighing, Li Ang suddenly heard a very slight gasp.
He put the spirit horse back into the ring and looked to the left at the stinking swamp with poisonous bubbles and corruption.
This was also a beautiful lake area at the beginning, but unfortunately it became the central battlefield for the duel between Malenia and Latarn, and finally became what it is now.
Even the name was changed to Corrupt Swamp [Ionia].
There were many mutated creatures inside, and Li Ang knew that this was the first person to provoke him so blindly today.
Pulling out the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, he slowly walked towards the edge of the swamp.
Behind a gray boulder, Li Ang found the originator of the sound.
A red-haired girl covered in blood and in a coma.
Her appearance is 80% similar to Marlenia's, but she is more immature. There are white veins like mycelium on half of her face, which is obviously caused by a putrefactive disease.
Li Ang shook her shoulders lightly, but showed no sign of waking up.
So he called Torette out again, picked her up and put her on the horse, and led the horse to a safe and secluded open space.
Lay the girl flat on the ground and light a fire next to her.
She didn't know how long she had been soaked in the corrupt swamp. Her clothes were all wet with sewage, her fingers were white, and her body was extremely hot and shaking constantly.
Seeing this, Li Ang poured the Holy Tree Dettol from the Holy Grail bottle into her mouth.
Since Finlay gave this thing to him, he hasn't used it himself, but it ended up being used by others first.
While waiting, Li Ang unconsciously looked at the girl's face.
Not that she was beautiful, but I felt strange about her appearance.
In other words, why does she appear here?
Marlenia released the red corruption, which not only caused herself to fall into a deep sleep, but also split into five clones and stayed in the center of the swamp.
These five people are part of Marlenia's soul, representing the dignity and glory she abandoned by giving up resistance and actively embracing corruption.
It can be regarded as a special kind of split personality.
The girl in front of Li Ang is one of them, her name is Millicent.
In fact, the clone has no memory of the original body, so the name may also be a later one.
According to the original plot, Millicent and the four sisters would be taken in by corrupt relatives with ulterior motives, and gradually brainwashed into tools to seduce Marlenia into complete corruption.
Because they were born with corruption and have the same origin as Malenia, the God of Corruption, none of the four sisters survived the step of brainwashing and became the new dependents of corruption. Only Millicent remained true to herself.
Li Ang guessed that it was probably because he came early enough and came into contact with Millicent one step ahead of the Corrupt Family.
As for the whereabouts of the other four sisters, we can only know after Millicent wakes up.
Marlenia was a demigod, so her clone's physical fitness was naturally not bad. It didn't take long for Millicent to wake up leisurely.
When she realized she was in an unfamiliar environment, she immediately sat up, her eyes full of vigilance.
Li Ang handed her a few fruits picked on the road: "The clean ones, I hope they can make you feel at ease."
The advantage of having a handsome face is evident at this time. At least it won't be annoying when you first meet him.
Millicent took the fruit in a daze, confusion written on her face: "Who are you?"
Torrett, who was next to the two of them, shook his head dissatisfiedly. Those fruits were obviously his snacks!
I didn’t have to update it today, and it was stuck again.
Every time I arrive at a new area and new map, I have to look up a lot of information to prevent any omissions, and then I start to get stuck.
