Lu Mingfei, become the King of Elden!

Chapter 187 Let's meet him

"what happened?"

Lu Mingfei frowned slightly.

He felt nothing.

It was as if a stronger force enveloped and then repelled his outstretched "spirituality".

"I kept you waiting."

Gewei's voice soon came from inside the room. He seemed to have noticed Lu Mingfei's probing and thus completed the task even faster.

Lu Mingfei walked into the house.

"The repair is complete. This needle is now able to suppress the putrefaction. Could you please give the needle to the girl, Millison?"

"Millicent?"

Lu Mingfei was slightly taken aback.

This name seems familiar...?
and many more.

Isn't that the name of that low-level invading boss from the Crimson Ionian Swamp? His flowing swordsmanship is incredibly skillful.

Girls, corruption.
This matches up!
"Don't go, don't go!"

Lu Mingfei turned and left in a huff.

"If you want to go, go by yourself!"

Gewei paused slightly as he handed over the golden needles, a hint of doubt flickering in his eyes beneath his hood. Then, as if remembering something, he calmly said:
"You encountered that girl's doppelganger in the Ionian swamp, didn't you?"

Lu Mingfei stopped in his tracks.

“I apologize to you on behalf of that girl,” Gwei said. “She suffers from a putrid disease and occasionally experiences mental confusion like this, losing control of her strength and will.”

I will pay appropriate compensation.

“There’s a reward,” Lu Mingfei muttered as he turned around. “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

Gewei bowed slightly in greeting:

"After passing through the town of Seria, Millison lay ill in a church on a cliff. A group of ignorant scoundrels fawned over her, treating her... no, her putrid disease as a god."

Don't you think this is utterly absurd? That girl had no reason to be treated like this.

So mysterious.
Lu Mingfei casually took the pure gold needle and asked a question:

Why are you taking such good care of that Mi Millison?

“Oh,” Gway said casually, “Millison is a child I found and raised.”

"I found that girl in the swamps of Ionia when she was still an infant. She was one of my lovely daughters. But the putrefaction disease destroys memories, so she probably doesn't remember me anymore... Come to think of it, when people get old, they naturally become more meddlesome. Heh."

"One of the lovely daughters?"

Lu Mingfei was somewhat surprised:
"You have quite a few daughters?"

Gwei nodded:

"Yes, there are five sisters in total."

Lu Mingfei said no more. He was too lazy to care how many people were in Ge Wei's family and how many pairs of chopsticks were needed for the meal. He just wanted to finish the task as soon as possible so he could get rid of this strange man.

Lu Mingfei held the pure gold needle that shimmered with golden light, feeling a peculiar sensation at his fingertips, as if it contained the power of some unknown law.

“Alright,” he carefully put the gold needles into a specially made leather pouch in his pocket. “The cliff church behind Seria Town, Millison, right?”

Lu Mingfei repeated the location and the names of the people.

For Lu Mingfei, the biggest driving force behind his journey to the border region, besides his promise to Melina and the bonds with his old brothers, was probably "since I'm already here" and "I'd be happy to get some benefits."

"Exactly."

Lighten the hoodie:

"May you deliver safely, esteemed knight."

Lu Mingfei turned and left, not wanting to stay in this dilapidated house with drafts coming from three sides for even a moment longer.

Not far down the hillside, the figure of veteran O'Neal stood quietly beneath a boulder by the roadside. His silver armor appeared somewhat dim in the twilight, and his greyish-white cloak was stained with mud from the swamp.

"How was it?" O'Neill's deep voice sounded as he saw Lu Mingfei come down.

“Got it,” Lu Mingfei patted the leather bag on his chest. “He fixed it and asked me to deliver it to that girl named Millison, in the church on the cliff.”

"Cliffside Church..."

O'Neill pondered for a moment, clearly having a deep memory of Galeid's terrain:
"There is indeed a cliff behind the town of Seria, and the building on it... was once a church dedicated to the goddess Marika, which was abandoned before the Ionian War."

"So we have to go through the town of Seria? In that case..."

As he spoke, Lu Mingfei took out the parchment that Ge Wei had given him from his pocket:

"Let's find out what the secret of Seria Town really is."

Lu Mingfei took the parchment and examined it carefully. He saw that it was written on it.

The town of Seria holds the secrets of its origins.

Simply light the three candlesticks on the tower with fire.

That will break the seal.

"Shall we light the three candelabra on the tower?"

Veteran O'Neill looked at the words above thoughtfully, then turned towards the town, where three towering towers stood prominently at the highest point of the town.

“It should be those three towers,” Lu Mingfei nodded, “but there are many invisible mages in the ruins of Seria Town, so we have to be careful.”

O'Neal chuckled twice.

As a general who had experienced countless wars, he had seen all sorts of mages.

During the heyday of Seria, countless mages seeking the "origins" studied here, and a considerable number of those mages were summoned by Lord Galid to participate in the Crimson Ionian War.

"Let's go, kid."

他 说:

"Don't worry about me, I've seen more monks than you've walked roads."

As O'Neill predicted, the facts proved true.

After entering the town of Seria, the two moved with impunity, easily dealing with the mages who tried to ambush them along the way with their superior martial arts skills.

O'Neil was unharmed, while Lu Mingfei took several hits from the Glowstone Shard.

Lu Mingfei wasn't angry, because the reward he received made him completely forget about this minor injury.

"Magic Stone Sword Key".

Lu Mingfei stared at the small sword-shaped statue in his hand, stroking it:

"It is somewhat similar to the stone sword key."

A line of text appeared in my mind.

"It can unlock the portal enshrined in the clock tower and the seal on the imp statue above it. After use, it will be inserted into the statue and disappear from your inventory. It is recommended to choose the time of use carefully."

Clock tower?

never heard of that.

Never mind, I'll just put it away for now.

"Looks like that guy named Gewei wasn't lying to me after all," Lu Mingfei muttered to himself. "There are quite a few good things here."

"Of course, kid."

O'Neal glanced at Lu Mingfei:
"The town of Seria has a long history, said to date back to the 'Eternal People' of ancient times. Do you think it's just an ordinary town?"
Regarding the magic of origins and the night, even mages from the Realucaria Magic Academy come here to study and exchange ideas; it's the most authoritative place for magic in the borderlands.

"Put away all the junk you've collected, let's go and see what's inside the seal."

"You call this junk??"

He looked at the key, the amulet, and the staff he had just picked up.
Lu Mingfei complained:

"You really don't know the cost of firewood, rice, oil, and salt when you're not in charge of the household."
