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

Just like a flat pebble thrown on the lake, it floated countless times, and finally hit a heavy old tree before it came to a complete stop.

The flames remaining on her abdomen could still be clearly seen.

The burning pain of the fire made Millicent gradually wake up from her rage.

"...What's wrong with me?"

She swayed and tried to stand up, holding on to the thick roots of the tree, but she couldn't exert any strength.

Her mind was still a mess.

The only thing she remembered was that she seemed to see a man coming here, and then she was about to persuade him to go back and leave here.

It seemed to have failed in the end.

She couldn't remember the memory after that.

"Am I crazy again?"

This is one of the reasons why she comes to the Ionian swamps to block the arrival of others, because sometimes she will be affected by the Crimson Corruption and lose her mind and kill people indiscriminately.

Even imprisoning himself in a church was of no avail, and he even learned to divide the red spirit into attacking others.

Although few people would come to the Ionian swamps under the patrols of the Red Lion soldiers, there would always be one or two who slipped through the net, just like that man...

"What, have you woken up? Or, are you still awake?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Millicent raised her head subconsciously and saw a man walking slowly towards here, like a bright light in the dark night.

The clothes on his body burned like flames, and the scarlet corruption around him was burned with a sizzling sound.

And the ax in his hand seemed to be ignited with flames, or was burned red.

But her consciousness became increasingly blurred, and this became the last scene she saw before her eyes went dark...

190. Old Chong Gewei (4.2K)

In a ruined church somewhere directly above the magical town of Celia.

The breeze of Galede blew slowly through the almost open-air chapel. A girl who had been deeply eroded by scarlet corruption lay here, her two beautiful eyebrows slightly frowning together, as if she had a nightmare.

Suddenly, the girl's eyelashes fluttered and she opened her eyes. The golden pupils expanded slightly, with a little fear still remaining.

She quickly looked at her slightly trembling hands, and her eyes were suddenly filled with a look of horror, and her eyes seemed to be trembling slightly.

"...I killed another innocent person...because of this inherent scarlet corruption..."

Millicent murmured dully.

A look of hatred gradually appeared in his eyes.

Although I don’t know what happened to the red spirit that I just separated, but since I woke up in the church safe and sound, then I must have lost my mind and killed the other person before coming back, right?

Millicent firmly believed in this guess.

Because it was like this in the past.

But the more this happened, the more she hated herself and the scarlet corruption.

If only I could be stronger...

If you have the strength to fight and suppress Scarlet Corruption...

Those innocent people will not die tragically under their own swords because of this!

When I thought of this, a sense of sadness suddenly filled my heart.

"In that case..."

She suddenly looked at the long knife abandoned aside, and a terrible idea suddenly came to her mind.

Since she can't stop the scarlet corruption from eroding her mind, she can find a way to stop herself from hurting others!

Millicent's eyes were gradually filled with determination.

-------------------------------------

Meanwhile, the Ionian Marshes.

Reinhard stood thoughtfully at the place where Millicent's red spirit had just disappeared.

Although Millicent had only appeared for a short time, he had already been able to determine some information.

First of all, Malenia did differentiate the existence of Millicent, and his plan to push the boat forward thousands of years ago was not in vain.

Secondly, Millicent is still hosted and eroded by scarlet corruption, and has reached the point where she occasionally loses her mind, which can be said to be very serious.

Fortunately, Millicent's limbs are intact and not as incomplete as Marlenia's, who already needs prosthetic feet and limbs.

And it can be regarded as a perfect inheritance of Marlenia's sword skills. Although the water bird flurry in one hand is not a return to nature, it has reached the point of perfection.

At least in a simple competition of sword skills, he is no match.

Finally, Millicent should be an adult now, old enough to drink puffs... Ahem, this doesn't count, it's just his imagination.

As a man, it's normal to have random thoughts from time to time.

He definitely didn't mean this to Millicent, absolutely not!

If you want to do it, you have to do it in front of Marlenia, don’t you think?

However, now that I know that Millicent has appeared, I naturally want to take a look. As for the location...

Naturally, it is the church above the magical town of Ceria in the distance.

But at dawn, when I left the swamp and entered the Celia level, I met another person——

The abandoned son of the Scarlet Corruption Goddess, he is also an admirer of the Scarlet Goddess, and the great sage of the Zerg race - Gewei.

However, what appeared in front of him was just a spirit projected from the message. It was somewhat similar to a red spirit, but it was not aggressive and could only answer simple questions.

Anyone who is a pyrogen magician or someone who is good at praying can do it, just like the simple trick that Blaze and Mr. Iggy can do.

The content of the message was just an invitation to go to the broken house.

Since he wanted to see Millicent, he naturally had to rely on this great sage of the Zerg race.

After all, this guy is Millicent's adoptive father no matter what.

Moreover, it is also related to the pure golden needle. Apart from Mikaela, the creator of the golden needle, only this so-called great sage of the Zerg can repair it.

So he decided to go see it.

".. Oh, I've been waiting for a long time."

In the hut behind the Selia checkpoint, an old man sitting on a chair saw him coming, and greeted him naturally and familiarly.

And he responded in a polite tone:

"Hello, old sir."

"Hello Faded, my name is Guwei. In the old days, people called me Sage."

Gwei calmly began to introduce himself.

The so-called sages and the people in the past mentioned by Gewei are actually not difficult to understand.

In fact, they are the Zerg race born in a distant era, an era older than the Golden Dynasty. They believe in the scarlet goddess who was sealed under the scarlet lake by a blind swordsman.

Dependents abandoned by the goddess.

Even now, they are still waiting for the return of their god, the current Scarlet Goddess Marenia.

And Gewei is their sage. After the Broken War, he took in the different incarnations of Malenia one by one and raised them into adults.

Then they were sent back to the Holy Tree.

As for the purpose of doing this, it is naturally to make them kill each other and then welcome back their goddess - [Scarlet Goddess] Marlenia.

And now that the plan has been implemented and is almost complete, Millicent is the only one missing.

Send her back to the sacred tree, and then bloom the scarlet flowers of despair, so that they can welcome back the goddess who once ravaged the earth.

Now, after waiting for so long, Gewei finally found a suitable candidate.

"...Dear Faded One, I have something to ask of you, please agree to it."

"For this matter, I can only ask you, the Faded One, who can deceive those Red Lion soldiers and is still strong after crossing the scarlet swamp of Ionia, to help."

"Of course, I won't ask you to work hard in vain. As long as you agree to my request..."

"I'm willing to tell you - what secrets are hidden in that town of Selia over there."

The old guy talked to himself the whole time, leaving no space for him to interject at all.

However, it's not bad.

"I can help you."

He nodded slightly, which immediately made Gewei extremely happy, but then his words changed:

"However, I am not interested in the secrets of Magic Town Celia..."

Because of these words, Gewei suddenly became wary.

Although they are Zerg killers and have never been merciless towards humans, as a sage, they have successfully integrated into the human world.

And also think like humans.

In the past, Gewei had seen many human beings and various things.

In addition to barbarity, what he gained from it was also the most crucial point——

If the other party is not interested in the price you proposed, then be careful. This person may want to make a big deal, or he may have other plans.

This was the main reason why Gewei became wary, but with no emotion or anger written on his face, he still asked kindly:

"So, my dear Fader, what do you want?"

Reinhard stretched out a hand to Gwei, with all his fingers spread out, "50 runes."

"...Faded One, 50 runes is too much, I..."

"Really? This is my price. If it doesn't work, forget it."

With that said, he turned around and prepared to leave, but before he could cross the threshold, Gewei's voice came again.

"Wait a moment."
