Chapter 640: Ansel River, Lani and Millicent

In the southwest of the Lienia of the Lake region, there is a plateau that cannot be reached by ordinary means.

This is almost the highest point in the lake area, and outsiders cannot set foot here. On the top of this high ground, there are ancient churches and altars, and it is shrouded in darkness all day long.

Therefore, this place is also called the Moon Highlands. The "fate" that Lani wants to face is here.

That's not quite accurate. Rather, the enemy she must defeat in order to move toward her own destiny is hiding here.

It is very troublesome to get here. You must pass through another eternal city and underground river in the underground world, then cross the scarlet corrupt lake, and finally defeat the gatekeeper BOSS "Dark Abandoned Son" to open the way to the Moonlight Altar.

Of course, Li You knew what was here, but he couldn't just fly over to solve the problem. What protected the Moon Plateau was not a tangible barrier, but an unpredictable fate, so even Li You couldn't replicate the previous operation of using Hammer 80 to break the barrier.

He can vaguely sense and use external forces to interfere with the unique "power of destiny" of this world, but he does not have the ability to directly contact it.

That was why he was walking in the ruins of the eternal city of Noxstella, crossing the Ansel River and heading deeper into the depths.

There are naturally enemies in this eternal city and the underground river basin, and a considerable number of them are the remnants of the former Knox people. Although there are still many people wandering in the ruins, the civilization of the Knox people is already beyond repair, and most of these remnants are like the wandering soldiers on the ground, confused and only repeating the same things according to past habits.

These people were just a small obstacle. Although Li You's side had a small number of people, including himself, there were only three of them, but the journey was easy and enjoyable.

Because the members of this three-person team are Li You, Lani, and Millicent.

——It was indeed Millicent, with a ponytail, a short travel robe, and a scimitar at her waist, just like she was before she arrived at the Holy Tree. She occasionally exchanged a few words with Li You, and her tone was the same as before.

Despite this, Lani couldn't help but secretly glance at her from time to time along the way.

The reason was simple. This traveling companion was Millicent, but she was more than just Millicent—Rani, who had once been a demigod and a god, certainly could not fail to recognize the appearance and aura of her “rival”.

At the corner of the river under the ruins ahead, another Sister Knox riding a giant ant turned out. They were facing Millicent, and she drew her sword without hesitation and rushed out in an instant!
Lani couldn't even see her movements clearly, she saw a few flashes of knife in front of her, and that Sister Knox and her mount, the giant ant, had fallen on the river bank.

If it weren't for the puppet body now, Lani would probably be sweating on her forehead - why did things turn out like this! ?
Li Youze looked over at this time: "What's wrong with you? Do you feel uncomfortable in your stomach? Oh, no, you can't have an uncomfortable stomach."

Lani: “…”

She didn't say anything, but just glared at Li You with both faces, obviously not impressed by his joke.

As she spoke, Millicent had already turned back: "There are no enemies ahead, let's go."

Li You nodded: "Okay!"

Lani didn't say anything. Originally, according to her idea, at least here, she should be the one who makes the decision, but the shock she received today was too great, so she didn't have the energy to think about these things.

——Not long ago, Lani was waiting for Li You at the main stream of the Ansel River where they had agreed to meet.

After the last secret talk, Li You and Lani reached an agreement. In fact, the specific content is not difficult to guess. Lani hopes to use the power of Li You to fight against her enemy - Two Fingers.

The three demigods, Lani, Michaela, and Malenia, each have a corresponding pair of fingers, but only Lani's fingers are shown in the game.

As for the two fingers of Michaela and Malenia, Li You now knows that they had been designed by Michaela, who was determined to become a god himself.

Two Fingers: The most embarrassing episode.

Not to mention this, for Lani, even with the Hunting Finger Knife, fighting against the Double Fingers is quite risky. And if Li You, who defeated the Mother of Finger, could help her, that would naturally be a good thing.

Li You was already considering making Lani a god, so naturally they hit it off.

but……

"Why, you chose her as the king!?"

After the previous secret conversation, Li You temporarily persuaded Lani to wait for a while, and said that he would go and find someone suitable to be king.

It was not so bad for Lani, because since she had decided to cooperate with Li You, she did not care about the choice of "king". Although the gods and kings had been the ruling system of the borderland for a long time, all Lani needed was someone to send her to the throne of Elden.

She was going to "abandon" this land along with the law, and neither Li You nor Kara could stay to be her king. The person chosen by Li You was obviously also responsible for governing the border area and should not have any intersection with her.

Then, she waited for Li You... and Millicent, who arrived on time for the appointment, at the main stream of the Ansel River.

Of course Lani recognized that "Millicent" was Marlenia.

At that time, facing her astonishment and vigilance, Li You just said: "Don't worry, she knows your plan and is on your side."

Lani: “???”

Are you kidding me? Can Malenia be with me?
You might as well say Michaela secretly became a god!
Yet it is true.

Millicent... no, Marenia, she is now a complete person. Not only did the five Millicent sisters reunite with her, but she also accepted the unknown clone that blossomed into a flower outside.

So now, theoretically, Malenia has recovered to her heyday and is the Valkyrie who can compete with Latarn.

However, things are certainly not that simple.

Originally, even if Marenia was complete again and had the memories of her clones, it was impossible for her to suddenly change her personality. It was fine for her to get along with Li You, but Marenia would never do something like supporting Lani.

However, since he knew this, Li You was of course prepared - this was the plan he and Tolina made.

To put it bluntly, the current Malenia is at least half Millicent.

The awakening of Marlennia should have been based on her as the main body, accepting the return of her clones. In this way, she is still herself, but with a few more dreamlike memories and lives.

But after "conspiring" with Li You, Tolina made some slight changes.

She did not let Malenia absorb the clones, but gathered the existence of other clones into Millicent, and then let Millicent and Malenia merge - in this way, the consciousness of the "Valkyrie" was almost half and half, and even Millicent's side was a little higher. So now Malenia has complete memories, but her personality has changed a lot. All the differences come from this.

This was not even entirely Li You's deliberate calculation, because he had already learned through Torina that even Malenia was under Michaela's charm, and the degree was so deep that it was almost impossible to remove it.

...After all, Michaela and Malenia are close twins.

If Li You does nothing, no one can guarantee that after she is whole again, Malenia will still wield the knife against them.

Therefore, Li You also felt that the current result was the best. He valued Millicent at the beginning, and it was only from Millicent's perspective that Marenia could think rationally and agree to cooperate with Lani.

However, Li You did not tell Lani many of the key points, which is why Lani was so anxious.

It’s not that he wants to be a riddle man…well, he just wants to be a riddle man on purpose.

Hey, I'll keep the key information to myself so you can see how anxious you are! This is such a good thing!

Lani realized that Li You was deliberately hiding something, and even saw through some of his thoughts. Her face darkened slightly: "Are you trying to make fun of me on purpose?"

"No, how could I do such a thing!" Li You certainly couldn't admit it, and said righteously, "I swear on the reputation of my good brother Patch that this is absolutely not true!"

Lani: “…”

Are you kidding me?

"Om-"

Suddenly, there was a sound of swordsmen in front of them. Millicent drew her sword and looked serious: "Li You, there are enemies."

Li You and Lani looked around at this time. Li You saw the situation from the environment here, and Lani sensed the hostile atmosphere.

“…Are you here?”

The three of them were in the lower reaches of the Ansel River after passing through the ruins of Noxstella. In front of the originally dark and silent underground cave, a faint howling sound suddenly came from it.

As they walked further, the water beneath their feet gradually turned scarlet. Millicent's expression changed slightly when she saw it. She had already sensed that aura: "Scarlet corruption?"

"Yes, in front of here is the Corruption Lake." Li You said, "Its scale is even larger than the Corruption Swamp in Gaileed, but the scarlet corrupt power in it is not as active."

“Galide…” Millicent’s expression darkened, then became firm again, and she continued Li You’s words: “If the power of law in the Corruption Lake is not active, it is possible that the source has been suppressed, or there may be other sources dormant here. From my point of view, I suggest not to delve into it.”

"…Rather than that, let's focus on the present."

Just as Li You and the other person were discussing, Lani suddenly spoke in a low voice, and the magic power in her body began to surge.

Li You and Millicent soon noticed that there was something in front of them, a kind of "shadow" appeared.

"Don't worry, it's just a disaster shadow, it's easy to deal with." Li You was not panicked at all. In the game, there will always be a disaster shadow invading here, who looks exactly like Wolf Brother Blaze and is a killer sent by Two Fingers.

And since it is based on Brother Wolf, the Shadow of Disaster is naturally not that strong.

Blaze: Are you polite?

But Lani glanced at him and said nothing. After a moment's pause, Millicent's expression turned serious. "No, it's not just the so-called shadow that's coming."

Li You, who had preconceived ideas, also reacted at this time. In addition to the breath of the shadow of disaster, there were more shadows hidden in the darkness, surrounding the three people from all directions.

Dark silver scale armor, a magic gauze cloak, and a short knife that exudes a twisted and ominous aura - the person who came was none other than the murderer who had assassinated "Golden" Godwin, the Black Knife Assassin!

There are at least ten!
Li Youdu's expression froze. He straightened his body and slowly drew out the spiral sword.

Before, when he was unlocking the seal of Yidian Town, he had easily dealt with four Black Blades by himself, but that time he actually took advantage of the characteristics of the Challenger Set to pull the Black Blades into the duel field one by one and kill them, which could not be replicated this time.

The duel field does not distinguish between friend and foe, and will exclude everyone except Li You and his duel opponent. If the duel field is opened now, Lani and Millicent will be besieged by the remaining black swords - Millicent should be fine, but it's hard to say about Lani.

"...I'm not saying anything, Lani." Li You's eyes swept through the darkness around him, and he spoke at the same time, "You planned the Black Knife conspiracy that night, so you should have conspired with your two fingers, right?"

"You're asking this now?" Lani didn't even look at him. "Of course it is. The purpose of the Two Fingers is to make the god-man of his choice become a god. I planned the Black Knife Night for this purpose, and He thought that I would not stop it."

"That's it." The flame on the spiral sword began to burn, Li You stabbed it into the ground, and the flame field instantly unfolded!

The rising flames illuminated the dark cave, and the black swords hidden in the shadows were instantly exposed. Millicent did not hesitate and slashed at the black sword closest to the side and rear of the three people!

"Shua——!!"

Immediately afterwards, Li You also moved, holding the Spiral Sword and the Blood Immortal Slash in his hands, and quickly turned around and rolled towards the black swords on the other side. His voice was heard from afar:
"Since you have already made a plan, then keep a team like Black Blade in your hands!"

Do you know how to play?

Lani: “…”

You still don't forget to criticize me at this time, right?

She was too lazy to complain, her body flew into the air, curled up into a ball, and then transformed into a cold dark moon. The dark moon flew straight out and hit the shadow of disaster that was rushing towards this side!
The red spirit of the disaster shadow looked exactly like Wolf Brother, even the weapons in his hands were exactly the same. He howled like a wolf and pounced towards everyone, and then was hit directly in the face by Lani's Dark Moon.

When Lani landed on the ground and looked at the impostor, she said in a deep voice: "...Shadow, you are the last one. Tell Two Fingers: Witch Lani will carve a scar on Him - a destined scar that will never heal."

The Shadow of Disaster just howled like a wolf and raised his sword, but Li You beside him became anxious:
"Don't be so hasty to say anything harsh, step back! You're standing in front of so many black knives, are you trying to kill yourself!?"
