People are at the junction, but they become the incarnation of the sun

She rested her light brown slightly curly hair on his shoulder, pulled the airtight dark cloak slightly, and put her hands on her abdomen.

He slowly closed his eyes in this position and fell into a deep sleep.

It was a rare sight for him to see Melina's sleeping face. Different from the usual plainness, she felt inexplicably more innocent at this moment.

Maybe Melina can only be her true self when she is asleep, right?

No longer bound by that so-called mission.

only....

"What do I have to do tonight?"

Looking at the bright moonlight cast from the sky, he couldn't help but murmur to himself, but he didn't dare to move for fear of disturbing Melina's sweet dream.

After all, he had just learned that Melina could sleep.

"Forget it, just go to sleep, go to sleep, it doesn't matter if I miss a little sleep..."

Being able to see Xiaomu's cute sleeping face, it seemed okay to miss a night's sleep, not to mention that he had already slept enough after sleeping for so long.

While he was admiring the moon, a slight smile appeared on Melina's face.

It's a pity that he didn't notice at all...

Silent all night.

By the time the golden tree bloomed again, Reinhardt had already set off on Thoret.

Near noon, he had arrived at the familiar territory, the end point of King Gefulei's campaign, the location of the Smoked Fire Church, and the place where the Holy Tree Army once fought.

It was here that Marlenia led the Holy Tree Army to formally confront the Red Lion Army.

Now that he has returned here again after many years, he has a lot of feelings...

Also killed three wild dogs by the way.

MD, I originally thought that being bitten by a passing wild dog was just a setting of the game, but I didn’t expect that this was also the case in reality.

He was just passing by and was bitten by these beasts without doing anything.

Thanks to his strong physique, the dog's teeth alone cannot break his defense. Otherwise, he would have to consider whether to get a rabies vaccine.

Then, he climbed up the long slope, like climbing a ladder to heaven, passed through the high surrounding wall, walked dozens of steps, and suddenly became enlightened.

But the scene that greeted him shocked him.

"Is this Gilead?!"

His vocabulary was too poor and he no longer knew how to describe the scene in front of him.

In the words of Peach Blossom Spring -

The land is flat and vast, with well-groomed houses, fertile fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry trees, and bamboos.There is traffic on the streets, and chickens and dogs hear each other.Among them, the men and women are dressed like outsiders.

Although it is a bit exaggerated, it is really not much different.

Completely different from the desolate and dilapidated Galid in Nimgofu, you can even see businessmen coming and going here.

Although the number of people is not that large and it is not as prosperous as Liyenia, it can be said to be a rare scene in the border area.

Along the way, there were no traces of the confrontation between the Holy Tree Army and the Red Lion Army, and the relics in the impression also disappeared, replaced by villages one after another.

But one thing is very interesting. The weapons store with the most shops here is actually a weapons store. A dazzling array of weapons are sold outside the store. You can also hear the clanking sound of iron coming from the store and feel the hot firelight.

Moreover, these shops use the name of the Red Lion Battle Festival to promote them, attracting customers, and those who patronize the most are naturally the faded ones.

Secondly, there are hotels and the like, although they look very dilapidated.

In addition, there is the sky that seems to be always bright red, shrouding this peaceful and quiet land.

"Stop, it's forbidden to pass here."

Just when he came to the edge of the Ionian swamp and wanted to go along the swamp to the magical town of Celia, several Red Lion soldiers blocked him with weapons.

what's the situation?

After looking back, I saw that around the Ionian swamp, there was a sentry and a patrol almost every 20 meters away.

The soldiers on the patrol were the same as those in front of them. They all held spears, torches and swords, and they looked very vigilant, as if they were guarding against something.

However, what the Red Lion soldier who blocked him said was even more incredible.

"The Ionian swamp has been contaminated by scarlet corruption, and it has not yet been completely eradicated. For the safety of you and the entire Galede, please take a detour."

Well, that's quite polite.

But what about the Scarlet Corruption?

Didn't he throw a fireball back then to purify Galede's scarlet corruption?

Why is it still here? ? ?

Thinking of this, he tilted his head and looked through the gap between the soldiers' helmets.

It seems...it really is.

In the distance, you can clearly see strange mushrooms growing on the dead trees and rocks around the swamp.

And it's huge.

A continuous fire wall was also deliberately built around it, as if to control the spread of scarlet corruption.

what on earth is it?

But no matter what happened here, it could not stop him from looking for Millicent in this swamp and the Church of Corruption.

This is one of the purposes of his trip.

189.I was invaded by Millicent (4.6K)

night.

The clear moonlight quietly fell on the land of Galed through the dark clouds.

Under the moonlight, the swamp seemed to come alive. The trees covered with various strange reddish-brown mushrooms swayed gently, and the calm quagmire made a splash as he stepped on it.

That's right, while the patrolling Red Lion soldiers were not paying attention, and with the help of the hazy moonlight, he turned over and slipped neatly into the completely blocked Ionian swamp.

However, the fact that the swamp seems to come alive is not a description, but a true and realistic description.

The hyphae spreading from the branches of those plants slowly squirmed and converged towards his location as he passed by. The white hyphae seemed to be conscious and full of desire for his body.

But unfortunately, they grow on plants, and relying on the nutrients of plants can only grow to a certain length, and they can't even touch them.

"What the hell is this?"

Looking at the filaments that seemed to be slowly swaying with the breeze, Reinhard frowned deeply.

In his impression, there should be no such thing among the derivatives of scarlet corruption. Even if the pollution is serious, it is just mushrooms. This is the first time he has seen such hyphae.

Does it feel a bit like the worm-like prayers of the Corrupt Familias?

It looks sticky.

In addition, this [-]-mile swampland is full of calmness, which is surprising and even vaguely weird.

From the moment he walked in here, he couldn't see any living things at all.

Neither flying birds nor infected hyenas nor land crows can be seen.

Even when the battle was fought here, the swarms of abandoned insects attracted by Malenia after she released the scarlet corruption disappeared without a trace, and not a single one could be seen at all.

Only the water spout occasionally bubbled up, and a stream of hot air shot out from it into the sky, turning into drizzle and returning to the swamp.

It's really amazing.

He was a little curious as to what was going on in this Ionian swamp. Judging from the defensive strength of the Red Lion soldiers and the towering smoked fire wall surrounding it, the scarlet red Corruption should be serious.

But until now, he hasn't seen any clues.

What he saw and heard was nothing more than the gentle breeze slowly bringing up the weak waves in the swamp. The winding old trees were clinging to reddish-brown mushrooms and stretched out white mycelium, slowly swaying in the air, as if showing the deadly power. Enchanting dance.

It looks quite artistic.

But the premise is that you can ignore the muddy water that exudes the stench of decay, and the white bones floating up and down when it surges.

And as he went deeper, he found that the pollution of scarlet corruption became more and more serious.

The air was filled with the stench of decay, just like the smell of rotting blood, it was very unpleasant.

This scene, even in a zombie apocalypse, would definitely be top-notch.

If it weren't for the fact that his whole body was protected by solar magic, his feet that were submerged in the swamp would have been corroded to the point of rot, and then he fell into the disgusting muddy water and couldn't get up.

Yes, he didn't summon Torrett, nor did he have any intention.

The first was to prevent the patrolling Red Lion soldiers from adding innocent casualties; the second was because he didn't know whether Torret could resist this corrupt force.

Although running on magma is no problem in the game, the reality here is completely different.

Although Thoret is a smart horse, he doesn't dare to gamble.

However, he was also quite emotional.

It was originally just a peaceful swamp land, but I didn't expect it to become like this now. I don't know what Magic Town Celia has become.

But emotion is emotion, and there are no other emotions in it.

After all, he has done everything he could do back then.

What's more, he is not a savior, and he has never regarded himself as a savior. He has no responsibility or obligation to save the world.

And since Teacher Serian and Yog, who was born in Celia, are fine, there should be no problem.

Then, he took steps again, heading deeper, towards the magical town of Celia.

On the way, he arrived at the place where the Holy Tree Army led by Malenia and the Red Lion led by Latarn fought.

This is where scarlet corruption is most intense.

Contrary to what he imagined, he didn't meet any corrupt knight here, and he didn't see the veteran O'Neal in the place like a garden surrounded by mushrooms.

There are only the weathered Zunfu armors everywhere, the spears stuck on the ground, and the standing battle flag.

"After all, I'm still dead..." A calm and soothing murmur echoed in the swamp full of deathly silence.

He walked over and pulled up the battle flag, looking up at the spikes on the top with nostalgia in his eyes.
