"Do you want to eat?"
The attentive girl noticed the spirit horse's movements, spread her palms, and brought the fruit to its mouth.
Thoret yelled, rubbed her face affectionately, and ate happily.
Millicent, who felt a little itchy, couldn't help laughing, and her guarded eyes softened.
"It's called Torette." Li Ang looked at the man and the horse quietly.
Despite her tragic fate, Millicent remained kind, brave, and strong. In particular, he inherited Marlenia: facing the murmur of scarlet corruption, and the self-esteem as a human being to contend with it.
Li Ang was deeply impressed by her when he played games in his previous life and admired her excellent character.
"Hello, Torrett." As Millicent greeted her, she reached out and touched the spirit horse's mane: "My name is... I can't seem to remember my name."
"Millicent." Leon reminded.
The red-haired girl subconsciously turned her head: "Huh?"
"Your name." Li Ang continued: "Why did you appear at the swamp, do you remember?"
Millicent shook her head: "I only remember a group of bug monsters chasing me. There were a lot of them. I was injured and hid, and I didn't know anything about it after that."
Li Ang asked again: "Then do you still remember your four sisters, or companions?"
Millicent's expression became more and more confused: "I can't remember clearly."
Li Ang stopped asking questions and thought to himself: You really can't believe a word of the corrupt family members. They happened to be adopted by chance. They were obviously taken away by force, imprisoned and brainwashed.
Instead, Millicent asked curiously: "You know me, right? After all, you know my name."
Li Ang thought for a moment and roughly recounted the origins of her and Marlenia.
There is no use hiding it. With Millicent's character, she will find out the secret of her life sooner or later.
It would be better to tell her earlier to save time.
After listening to this, Millicent showed very complicated emotions, but most of them were still confused.
As an individual with independent personality and self-awareness, being suddenly told that he is someone else's clone is probably something that most people would not be able to accept easily.
"Do you know where she is? It's Malenia."
"If I could, I would like to give her back the will she had in the past."
Even though she learned the truth many years earlier and was only a month old, she still made the same decision.
This is the truth and kindness that uniquely belongs to Millicent. She is willing to sacrifice herself to help others complete these qualities that she considers very precious.
Li Ang appreciates it, but doesn't agree with it, and has already figured out a way for her to get rid of her fate.
"I will meet Marlenia in a few days, so just follow me first."
Millicent immediately responded gratefully: "Thank you!"
The slightly unfamiliar man in front of her had given her initial trust, not only because he saved her and told her the truth, but also partly because of Toret.
She had a good impression of this spirited horse.
"You have helped me so much, and I don't know how to repay you. If you need anything else, please feel free to ask me."
The red-haired girl's tone was firm and sincere.
"Don't be so formal." Li Ang smiled helplessly: "We are friends, not masters and servants."
"However, I really need your help with a little thing."
"Even if you don't remember the four sisters, you should be able to sense them and tell me their current locations."
When Millicent heard this, she couldn't help but feel a warm current in her heart.
After all, he was helping her in the end.
"I try my best."
After a while, Millicent seemed to have gained something: "I found them, follow me."
Li Ang followed her through the forked road next to the pass, walked a long distance, and finally came to an abandoned church on the middle of a hillside with only ruins remaining.
It can be seen from the patterns on the walls and the Malika statue in the church that this was once a place where the Golden Dynasty spread its faith, but now it has become a paradise for corruption. A group of giant white insects resembling centipedes gathered around the church, holding insect-wing-shaped bladed halberds, as if they were guarding something.
They are the descendants of corruption - the people of insects. In their heads like shells, they possess wisdom that is no less than that of humans.
"They were the ones chasing me in the first place." Millicent said with certainty.
Li Ang handed her the mountain of corpses and sea of blood: "Then what are you waiting for? Let them know that you are not easy to mess with!"
Since she has the same origin as the Valkyrie, Millicent is born with excellent swordsmanship talent. When she holds this bloody weapon, a set of exquisite swordsmanship immediately emerges in her mind.
Waterfowl dance wildly.
That is, the flowing water sword technique was originally a secret tradition of the nomadic people.
When the blind swordsman taught Marlenia swordsmanship, he once said this: [Standing will bring precipitation, and precipitation will lead to corruption - remember to keep moving, don't linger].
On the one hand, it represents the smooth style of swordsmanship of the school, and on the other hand, it also implies that the fight against corruption will never stop.
Now, Millicent, who also masters this swordsmanship, has also begun her own struggle.
She rushed into the insect swarm in an instant, and the red sword shadow was like flowing water, winding and graceful, seemingly gentle but deadly.
In fact, from Li Ang's point of view, Millicent's strength is not strong. She is still far from the heroic level like Finley. At most, she is only at the level of an ordinary Zunfu. Her swordsmanship seems to be dazzling, but in fact it is very raw.
Fortunately, the level of the insect people is more average, so it is suitable for practicing.
With the light of the sword and the shadow of the sword, the light waterfowl quickly killed all the pests polluting the earth.
Millicent sheathed her sword and panted heavily. She looked at Li Ang with some strange expectation in her eyes, like a child waiting for praise from her parents.
Li Ang clapped his hands cooperatively: "It's very good, both in terms of people and swordsmanship."
However, what he was thinking about was whether it would look better if Marlenia danced the sword herself.
Millicent smiled shyly after receiving the compliment, her heart filled with joy of recognition.
Seeing this situation, a word came to Li Ang's mind [nestling bird plot].
It means that people, like fledglings, will develop a special liking for the first important person of the opposite sex in their lives, and gradually become dependent on them.
But it has nothing to do with love, but more like the affection between relatives.
Leon had reason to suspect that Millicent had fallen into this weird mood and had to correct herself as soon as possible.
Millicent, who still knew nothing about this, walked up to him and held the mountain of corpses and blood in her hands.
"Give back your knife."
Li Ang pretended to be indifferent and said: "I'll lend it to you for a few days, I won't need it for the time being."
Unexpectedly, this move had the opposite effect. Millicent happily held the long knife in her arms, as if she had obtained some treasure: "Thank you!"
At this time, she had not lost an arm due to the outbreak of the corruption disease, and her body was intact.
At this point, Li Ang had no choice but to accept his fate: "Let's go into the church and have a look."
"Okay!" Millicent followed step by step, holding a knife, feeling inexplicably like a maid holding a knife.
The church is overgrown with weeds and rubble is everywhere. The pillars supporting the roof have been broken, and the roof is missing.
Four unconscious red-haired girls with similar looks were lying neatly in front of Malika's statue.
Not far from them was a huge wooden box filled with various weapons.
Li Ang took a few glances and almost understood what was going on. These weapons were prepared by the Corrupt Family for the five sisters.
As mentioned before, each clone contains part of the Valkyrie's will, and the weapons they use are related to the will they inherited.
The boss uses the Corrupted Knight's Scythe to represent the support of his subordinates and elder brother.
The second child uses a big tree spear and can release legal combat skills, which represents Malenia's loyalty to the Golden Law.
(Michaela’s ultimate goal is to study the new law, not to deny it, so it is not wrong to say that Malenia is loyal to the Golden Rule, but she is loyal to her brother’s law)
The third child holds a flowing water curved sword but does not understand the flowing water sword technique, which represents the first encounter with a blind swordsman.
The last Lao Wu and Melina also use the mission dagger, but without Melina's golden flame, which means that Melina has her own unique mission.
Millicent, the fourth child, was originally supposed to hold the Water Sword alone to represent the Valkyrie's self-esteem, but due to the appearance of Leon, her established destiny was quietly changing.
Millicent looked at the sisters suspiciously. Although she could clearly feel that they were connected by blood, she still lacked a sense of closeness.
"they."
Li Ang interrupted what she was about to say: "They are fine and they will probably wake up soon. Tell them the real situation. If they are willing to go to Marlenia with you, they can stay. If you don't want to, just leave it early." Leave Galeed.”
"I'll wait outside."
He saved the four sisters purely for Millicent and did not want to have too many interactions with other people.
Afterwards, Li Ang walked out of the church and looked towards the north.
If I remember correctly, the hidden cave where Lusset was imprisoned was not far away, so this time he could kill two birds with one stone.
Just as he was thinking about it, a hurried figure appeared at the end of the road ahead.
Wearing a hood, tattered robes, and a skinny and slender figure, the smell of corruption on his body could not be concealed.
Li Ang recognized who he was at a glance.
A corrupt family member who will adopt the five sisters in the future and make them kill each other, Gewei, the sage of the insect people.
Disguised as a human, he travels around the swamp, luring others into corruption.
Not long ago, I learned that someone had broken into the church, so I hurriedly came to check.
When he saw the insect corpses all over the ground, he stopped, his pale face uncertain, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Li Ang was not polite to him. He first used the principle of regression to detect the disguise, and then sent him on the road with a black light dragon's breath. The speed was so fast that Gewei had no time to resist. After all, his name was a sage, not a brave man.
Plus it's a bug, so it's normal for the fire to be weak.
Gewei, who turned into a ball of fire, screamed and finally lost his footing and rolled down the hillside.
From these weak chicken relatives, as well as Li Ang's experience from the two previous treatments, he found that Scarlet Corruption was not really strong. The only praiseworthy thing was that he chose Marlenia as the final host.
Other than that, it’s nothing.
Not to mention the black light virus, other forces in the border areas also have their own ways of dealing with it.
The red lion can use flames to burn away the lesions of corruption, and the flowing water can suppress it, and even seal the gods behind the corruption. Even the hiding Monger has the ability to burn corruption.
The only thing that seems to be helpless about this is the Golden Law.
Therefore, Li Ang is more confident in the next plan and hopes that the Red Corruption will not appreciate it by then, otherwise he will use black light to infect Malenia.
About half an hour later, Millicent came out of the church and said bluntly: "They woke up and agreed to go with me to meet Marlenia. I also wanted to thank you by the way."
"That's not necessary." Li Ang refused decisively: "It's enough to know you. I don't need to know them."
He couldn't handle the triplets, but now there are quintuplets, which is scary to think about.
After hearing this, Millicent couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly: "I'll tell them right now."
Li Ang stopped her: "Tell them directly to leave Galid first and wait for me at a place called Stonewell. Well, the same goes for you."
Millicent immediately shook her head: "I won't leave, I will follow you."
Li Ang stretched out his hand: "Then return the knife to me."
"I won't return it!" Millicent hugged the knife in her arms tighter: "You gave it to me."
Li Ang emphasized: "It's borrowing."
Millicent wrinkled her nose and said nothing, but her attitude was very obvious.
If the knife is not returned, the person will not leave.
Perhaps because she was born too soon, she is far less independent than she would be many years later. She still has some childlike qualities and likes to play tricks.
Li Ang and Millicent confronted each other for a long time, but they didn't see her giving in, so he had to persuade her in another way:
"It's okay to send them to Stonewell and then come back, right?"
"Just think of it as doing me a favor and keep an eye on them on the way so that they don't get targeted by the corrupt family members again."
Millicent's pretty and tense face finally relaxed: "Where should I find you then?"
Li Ang replied: "The Red Lion City in the south."
"Okay." Millicent finally agreed: "Just wait for me, I'll be back soon."
After saying that, she turned around and entered the church again.
Li Ang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The way to solve the nestling situation is to separate the two parties when the dependence is not so deep. When the emotions calm down, the symptoms will naturally alleviate.
After a while, Millicent came out with her sisters holding weapons.
Li Ang nodded to the five sisters, and then pointed to the road below the hillside: "Follow this road until you reach Nimgefu. Then you can find someone to find out Stonewell's location."
"Be careful on the road and stay away from the swamp."
"I know." Millicent nodded clearly.
Several sisters came forward to greet and say goodbye to Li Ang respectively, with kindness and curiosity in their eyes.
Even after walking far away, Millicent still couldn't help but look back at the tall figure.
Regardless of whether he could hear it or not, he waved his arms desperately: "You must wait for me to come back!"
Only when the figures of the five sisters disappeared at the end of the avenue did Li Ang look back.
The corruption disease on Millicent and the others is not serious yet, and it will not be too late to solve it after they finish the work at hand.
After thinking about it, he walked around to the cemetery behind the church.
There's a simple trick to finding Lucert's cave, just follow the soul's guidance.
To put it bluntly, go wherever there are tombstones.
Then go through a strange arch formed by a curved dead tree, and find the rock wall behind a giant stone monument. Attack it casually or roll it a few times, and the cave covered by magic will appear.
Looking at the dark hole in front of him, Li Ang took out the Queen's Staff and was about to release the starlight, but suddenly changed his mind.
"Xiaomei Xiaomei, I need your help. It's too dark here and I'm scared!"
I'm still in bad shape today, no need to update, I'll try my best to recover tomorrow~
