Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 406: Ailonmeier
Millicent turned and walked away, as if she had made some kind of resolution.

Standing at the door of the room, Millicent looked up at the sky and took a deep breath.

The smell of corruption in the poisonous swamp was extremely disgusting, reminding Millicent of the horrific Ionian swamps of the past, and reaffirming her resolve.

Millicent spoke softly, her words revealing an unyielding will.

"Please rest assured, I will convey this thought to you."

"I will definitely remind her of this..."

"Whether it's the self-esteem, the will, or the glory of the past."

"Everyone is looking forward to her defeating the Scarlet Corruption, and they don't want the Valkyrie to fall into the quagmire of corruption."

"Although I made the wrong decision in the past, and all the beautiful things I held on to were drowned in the scarlet Ionia..."

"But I think my birth at least proves that Marennia has never given up in her heart."

After saying that, Millicent walked towards the Sunshade City firmly without looking back, leaving only her back to Dahlia.

Dahlia lowered her head and burst into tears.

This body corroded by scarlet corruption could no longer shed even a single tear, and only dark blood flowed from its eye sockets.

Red tears slid down the corners of his eyes and dripped onto the ground through the gaps in his helmet.

This is the price of following, this body is no longer human.

But at least the color of blood is still the same red as humans.

It was always wonderful to see Millicent at this moment when everything, including herself, was abandoned.

There is a heart-wrenching yet pitiful light flashing across her, and her strong and unyielding soul is truly fascinating.

Even though her body had become like this, she at least found in Millicent a reason to follow her until the very end.
-
Millicent walked silently through the Sunshade City, heading towards her destination.

At this moment, her determination was stronger than ever.

Now it's not just her, the knights who followed Marennia in the past have also pledged their will.

No matter what, she had to fulfill her vow and complete the long pilgrimage.

But Millicent was the only one who couldn't understand.

Why would someone as proud as Marlennia give up the dignity she had always upheld in fighting against the scarlet corruption?

Why did Marlenia release the Crimson Corruption during the Ionian War? Was she so eager to defeat General Ratan?
Bai Shi followed behind Millicent and they had the same thoughts and questions in their minds.

Yeah, what exactly does Malenia want?

Michaela was indeed very good to Malenia in the past, and the twins snuggled up to each other and watered the sacred tree to continuously protect all living things.

But later on, Michaela obviously changed.

And from Millicent's dream, Marenia also realized this to some extent.

In the end, I don’t know whether she really didn’t notice it, or if she wouldn’t care even if she found out the truth.

In the end, Malenia chose to continue to be loyal to her brother Michaela.

Now Bai Shi already knows that Michaela took away Latan's soul and had other feelings for him. She had made a promise with him when they were young.

And the news discovered in the Shadow Land is that if you want to become a god, you need the guidance of a king.

Plus the speculation about Mikaela's plan to seduce the entire border area...

From this, it is not difficult to judge that Michaela hopes that Latan will become the king who will lead him and help him pass through the Gate of God and transform from a god-man to a true god.

But, in order to fulfill the agreement, is it really necessary for Marenia to self-destruct?

And the most important thing is that even after doing this, Michaela still failed to achieve her goal.

In the end, it was with the help of the later generations' knowledge that Latan was defeated, and they took advantage of the situation to pull Latan's soul to fulfill the contract.

Not only did he fail to capture Latan's ditch, but he also lost his sister.

Michaela does have "amazing wisdom".
-
Bai Shi looked at Millicent who suddenly stopped on the roof and asked:
"What are you going to do?"

Millicent looked at the towering city that was being built up in the distance and had several floors, and thought for a while.

After observing for a while, Millicent finally made a decision:

"Let's go to the destination room and observe the terrain first."

"Whether or not there is a chance to obtain a prosthetic hand, we still have to find a way out first."

"I don't want to die in such an unknown place. I still have a vow to fulfill."

Bai Shi nodded without intervening.

If you want to raise Millicent, then apart from necessary intervention, just let her grow.

After all, she had to cross the Holy Snowfield, and the dangers there were no joke.

The dangers in the Holy Snowfield are extremely terrifying, and people with average strength can hardly move forward.

Ordinary knights, and even weaker soldiers and civilians, could cross the Holy Snowfield and reach the Holy Tree due to luck and other reasons.

But more corpses were buried under the unknown depth of snow in the Huasheng Snowfield.

Millicent has a special background, coming from Marenia, the top demigod.

Adults are born with the level of heroes, and with a little training, it is very fast to reach the level of top heroes.

If you want to kill your way through unimpeded, you must have the level of a top hero.

Or she could be like her other four sisters, reach the sacred tree with the help of Gwei, move forward as a group, and resist most of the threats in the border area.

In addition to the difficulties along the way, the four sisters were also powerful enemies that Millicent had to face.

In the plot of the game, Millicent was unable to fight four people alone, and in the end, they all died together with the help of others.

This time, Bai Shi naturally wouldn't let this happen.

Moreover, for Bai Shi, the most important thing about the development game is the achievements of the developed characters after they grow up, which is an incomparable sense of satisfaction.

Therefore, Bai Shi planned to train Millicent to be able to defeat the four sisters alone.

As for whether Millicent will correct Marenia's idea with a slap in the face in the end, we will talk about it later.

Since Millicent is a completely independent individual, it is actually possible for her to surpass Malenia, but it is very difficult.
-
Millicent followed the path pointed out by Dahlia and walked into the inner gate of Sunshade City.

Outside of the flickering blessed flames, the statues surrounding here appear even more eerie.

The statues are in different orientations, facing different directions, covering all the space, as if they would lock you in wherever you are.

Looking at these statues placed randomly and inexplicably, Millicent felt very strange.

Although I know that they are just dead objects, I still feel like I am being watched all the time.

Dealing with these things every day, and also collecting the prosthetics used by Malenia, Maremamere is indeed a strange person.

Bai Shi walked among these exquisite statues that looked like life-like people and couldn't help but shook his head.

Mare Mare's life has been ruined by the figurines.

First, I played with these life-size figures, carved statues every day, and inhaled dust snacks like a storm.

Then, he accidentally fell into the trap of Marlenia and spent a lot of money to buy a bunch of new prosthetic figures for girls to use, and then he stayed in his room every day and inhaled it like crazy.

Double destruction... Oh, no, there is also the original poisonous swamp of Sunshade City.

Under the triple torture, Mare Mare's already weak body finally collapsed. In the end, the strong and powerful yellow-haired Alonmel broke into the hut and took away all his hobbies and collections. He could only helplessly accompany the old-fashioned puppet...

Just when Bai Shi was making random associations in his mind, a slight movement suddenly came from the group of statues in front of him.

Millicent in front immediately stopped in alert and walked slowly and quietly towards him.

Millicent rushed out from behind the statue, the knife in her hand dancing quickly towards the source of the sound.

But the knife hit nothing.

The sharp metal blade pierced through the empty soul and split a statue next to it into two.

"…The Mare family is finished…"

"I actually fell in love with that dirty, ugly woman, and had my city and sword taken away by that sinner..."

He sprayed Maremare three times in one sentence, which was enough to show how much this soul hated Maremare when he was alive.

When Millicent saw that it was a white ghost, she shook her head slightly and walked away silently.

Millicent did not quite agree with the words of this soul.

At least she didn't think Malenia was ugly.

However, there was no need for her to argue with someone who was already dead.

Beyond the soul, a ladder leading upwards appeared in front.

Looking up at the stairs leading to the real core of the castle, Millicent bent her knees slightly, then suddenly jumped up.

After jumping several meters high, Millicent lightly tapped the ladder with her toes and her body was sent up again.

It was like running straight up the ladder, and after several attempts, Millicent successfully jumped onto the castle.

With her arms disabled, Millicent naturally needed some special means of climbing.

Baizhi followed with a floating consciousness, and saw that Millicent had already rushed into the small library in front.

Several enemies lying in ambush were easily dealt with one after another by Millicent who approached quietly.

The only follower who reacted quickly was beheaded by Millicent before he could make any noise.

Wiping off the blood from the blade, Millicent set out again.

Without making any noticeable noise, Millicent continued to move closer to the city lord's room.

Millicent did not encounter many enemies along the way.

After all, Sunshade City is the foundation of the Mare family that has been developed for generations.

Here, there are many elders and old ministers from the Mare family, as well as many soldiers stationed here.

These people who could not accept the drastic changes made up the majority of the people in the city, and they were naturally bound to be purged after the city was captured.

In the end, only a few people remained and pledged their loyalty to Elonmel.

The Zunfu Knights were friendly forces. After a simple communication, they understood the cause and effect relationship and obediently gave way to Millicent.

So it only took a short time for Millicent to arrive outside the city lord's room.

In front of the long corridor lined with statues, Millicent carefully concealed her breath and did not make a sound.

Keeping a distance, Millicent looked past the statue and through the door frame towards the city lord's room.

No other human beings were found in the room. They might be in the blind spot behind the wall. This was the limit of observation from outside the door.

The most eye-catching thing in the room was a giant painting that almost took up the entire wall.

The person in the painting is naturally Malenia, the person that Mare Mare is most obsessed with.

As if to imprint the goddess' figure in the eyes, Malenia is lifelike under the amazing painting skills.

Wearing a winged helmet, Malenia tilted her head in thought, and her solemn movement endowed her with incomparable divinity.

The pale red lips under the helmet were slightly pursed, revealing skin as bright as the moon, but it made it impossible to even think of blasphemous thoughts.

Millicent looked at Malenia's painting and couldn't help but admire it carefully, comparing it with the vague appearance of Malenia in her mind.

Even she would be temporarily attracted by the imperfect and beautiful figure.

In Millicent's mind, Marenia's appearance became completely clear, and she understood her better and became closer to her.

However, her attention was soon captured by other dazzling things.

The dazzling light is not a metaphor but a fact. Those prosthetic limbs made of pure gold are emitting a faint and soft glow.

On the left and right sides of the huge painting, brackets were nailed to the wall, each holding a part of a prosthetic limb.

All the large and small prosthetic limbs that Malenia had used were neatly arranged according to size and displayed in this room.

Thanks to Maremma's strange habit, Millicent could now clearly and intuitively distinguish the size of the prosthetic hand.

Looking at the size all the way, Millicent soon frowned.

It's not impossible for her to find the right size just by visual inspection, and she does have that ability.

However, the distance is still a little too far, which will affect her judgment.

Although these statues can help hide their figures from being discovered by Elonmeier, they will also block her observation range.

Originally, only a portion of the room could be seen through the threshold, and now it was even more obscured.

Millicent thought about it, took a few more steps towards the statue in front of her, and moved closer again.

After approaching safely, Millicent breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to observe again.

As long as we find a prosthetic hand of the right size, lure out Ailonmeier and take out the prosthetic hand, the purpose of this trip will be accomplished.

After that, whether she wanted to fight or leave, Millicent had no pressure.

However, just as Millicent was looking for her prosthetic hand, a tall figure suddenly appeared at the door.

The moment Elronmayer appeared in her sight, Millicent immediately withdrew her gaze, lowered her head and hid behind the statue.

Millicent's reaction was so immediate that Elonmeier didn't even notice her presence.

However, when one's strength reaches a certain level, even unintentional gazes will cause induction.

Elonmel turned his helmet, which was entangled by iron thorns and was about to be destroyed, and looked at the corridor outside the door.

The crooked mask was stained with blood, and it looked at Millicent's position blankly but accurately.

There was no sound and no exposure of the body, so even if someone could sense it, it would be difficult to find it.

But Elonmeier is different, he is the top master of using "Chi" in the country of Och.

Focusing his attention, he immediately felt the presence of a unique 'aura' behind the statue.

Those who have not practiced will not be able to hide, and the steel-gray, yet scarlet aura was clearly exposed in his eyes.

Elonmeier raised his arm in silence, and the executioner sword that he had never let go of since he took it slowly fell down.

But in mid-air, the executioner sword was surrounded by bright red "air", floating in the air and spiraling like a drill.

Elonmeier bent his arms behind his back and then pushed them forward suddenly.

The bright red energy drove the executioner sword, performing the Ohh Sword Dance and galloping away quickly, smashing the statues along the way, and the sword pointed directly at Millicent's hiding place.
