On the Seven Towers

In the early morning, in the villa that Borlando presented to Milliana, Milliana had already gotten up. This bedroom is very large, and most of the furniture inside is in the rattan style of the southern city-state. These furniture are made of Roshi magic rattan, which is impervious to water and fire. The craftsmanship is complicated, the style is exquisite, and each piece is worth a lot of money.

Milliana stood naked in front of a large floor-to-ceiling mirror. The warm sunlight shone in from the side window, outlining the winding curves of her body. From the back, this body looks as slender and beautiful as it was thousands of years ago, and it is charming and can make men crazy. But if someone sees her front half reflected in the mirror, it will be very disgusting. The encounter with the Sword Tower team when the God City descended almost destroyed her body and returned to the God City. But fortunately, Dominic and the subsequent saints later repelled those people. The companions who are good at treatment pulled her back from the point of physical collapse. She rested for a month before she could walk. And her strength has not fully recovered until today.

She gently pressed her hand on her wound, observing the changes in the injuries on her chest and abdomen. There was a scar about the width of a palm on her left side near her heart. Although it had been repaired by magic, the red rolled hyperplasia and uneven muscles still looked shocking. And from her shoulders, to her entire chest and abdomen, and then to her thighs, all her skin had an unnatural grayish-white color, and there were many wrinkles and deformations on the surface. This was the result of being burned by the mad swordsman's flames. Millianna still clearly remembers the scene of the little woman rushing into her arms and burning like the sun. Those madness not only burned the surface of her skin like flames, but also penetrated into her body. If there was a way to see through her internal organs, they would find that they were no less damaged than the skin.

Milliana thought about ending this body more than once, and then reborn in the God City, but Dominic, who controls the God City, did not allow her to do so, because returning to the God City and rebirth again would cause great consumption of the soul, and her strength would be much lower than it is now.

Milliana held two healing crystals in her hands, emitting a white light, wandering back and forth on her body. As a warrior, she could not cast healing magic. This was her using Dou Qi mixed with healing magic to stimulate her skin, muscles and organs. Her body trembled violently. This kind of injury must stimulate the potential of life to slowly heal. It is a very painful and long process.

After about an hour of treatment, Milliana was already sweating all over. A silver-white Dou Qi appeared on her body. After the Dou Qi went around from head to toe, her body had become clean, like a bath. However, the afterglow of her pain had not yet dissipated, and her movements could only be slow and gentle.

There was a knock on the door outside, and a maid's voice came through the door: "Milliana, Lord Borlando has something important to report. Do you need to take him to the study?"

Milliana did not make any movements, but the clothes on the stool at the end of the bed floated up one by one and automatically put on her body. She was wearing a black high-necked robe, which tightly wrapped her below the neck. This kind of dress is very rare in the hot south.

"Let him in."

"Yes."

More than ten minutes later, there was another knock on the door outside. It was Borlando. The bedroom door opened automatically. Borlando saw Milliana standing in front of the window with her hands behind her back.

"Milliana. I am here to report to you the intelligence I received this morning."

Although Borlando has only worked for Milliana for more than ten days, both Milliana and Borlando seem to be familiar with this process. She listened to the other party's report quietly. There were news from other temples, intelligence from several major forces on the continent, and surveillance reports on what her two companions, Polidaro and Agurto, had been doing these days.

Milliana was not very interested in the previous intelligence, but when she talked about her two companions, she was obviously more excited. When she heard Borlando talking about Saint Polidaro punishing merchants and nobles in the city, she asked, "Yesterday, Polidaro judged another merchant family as blasphemers and confiscated all their property? And executed the merchant's family?"

"Yes, Polidaro's people searched the merchant's home and found the emblem of the Temple of Wisdom and the priest's robe. Evidence like this is enough to prove that this person is a spy sent by the Temple of Wisdom. As for the source of the evidence, no one needs such an explanation." Borlando said with his head down.

"Which family is this?"

"It should be the eighth family."

"It seems that the harvest is really good."

"What is the reaction of the city lord? Doesn't he always like to come to complain and beg for mercy?" Milliana said calmly.

"The city lord may not have enough time to worry about his own affairs. Lord Polidaro has recently focused on investigating the city lord himself." Borlando said.

"The city lord himself? Didn't we agree not to touch the city lord? If we touch the city lord, what will their city lords think when we go to other city-states?"

"It is said that..." Borlando paused.

"If you have something to say, just say it directly. I hate to be secretive." Milliana said.

"It is said that Lord Polidaro privately said that you are too timid, and if you do this... the Temple of Nature will lose the benefits that it could have obtained. He is ready to grab the greatest benefits for the Temple of Nature."

"Hmph, the Temple of Nature? I'm afraid it's for himself." When Milliana sneered, her shoulders shrugged slightly, and she trembled slightly. The fighting spirit that had just penetrated into the wound had not completely dissipated. Sometimes a small movement would involve the pain and cause a knife-like pain.

Borlando saw the slight tremor, swallowed his saliva, and said in a firm tone: "My lord, I also think this approach is not appropriate. We need a shepherd and a few dogs to herd our sheep. After killing these sheep, there will be another batch of sheep to be shepherded. My lord, you know that I never say anything good to those nobles and merchants, but if this thing is really done by Lord Polidaro, this city will be in chaos. Do we still have to let us take care of Sulugaya with such a tight manpower?"

"Then, Borlando, what do you suggest?" Milliana turned around and looked at Borlando.
