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

In order to give Malenia her dignity as a human being and her will to fight against scarlet corruption, she went through all kinds of hardships to reach the Holy Tree.

Completed a feat that is difficult for even normal people to accomplish.

"What an idiot..."

Immediately afterwards, bursts of whimpering were heard from deeper inside the church.

Following the source of the sound, he finally found the girl with bright red hair - Millicent - in a corner room deep in the church.

Millicent, the embodiment of Valkyrie's dignified personality, is also a very popular existence in the game. He doesn't know exactly how high she is, but she is definitely higher than the little wooden figure who has no sense of existence.

After all, it’s a small piece of wood that can’t even compare to a jellyfish (laughs).

However, she now curled up her legs and curled her body into a ball, looking like she was in pain.

The delicate little face was so painful that it was almost twisted due to the loss of its arms and the rampant scarlet corruption, and it was wrinkled together without any discomfort.

But even so, Millicent did not shout out, but just let out small sobs.

If his hearing hadn't been strong enough, he probably wouldn't have heard the screams coming from here.

What a strong and kind girl.

It's so strong that it makes people feel bad.

However, the fault for all this does not come from her 'mother' Malenia, but from Malenia's father - Radagan.

All this can be said to have been given by Radagan.

The former Radagon practiced the power of prayer with [Eternal Goddess] Malika. After marrying Lenara, he studied magic at Calia Academy and vowed to become a perfect hero.

For this reason, I also looked for other powers——

Exists in the lower reaches of the Ansel River, in Lake Corruption in Nokstra.

In the temple where the Zerg worshiped, he found the power of the sealed scarlet goddess of corruption.

After returning to the Golden Tree, he became the second king of Elden and gave birth to Michaela and Marenia.

And it was this scarlet corruption that Marenia inherited.

Therefore, if we want to talk about the source of all mistakes, it is because of Radagon.

"...Oh, you...who are you?"

It seemed that his footsteps just now woke up the girl. Millicent, who was leaning against the wall, raised her head to look at him with difficulty.

"...I was asked to help you."

He squatted down slightly, keeping eye contact with Millicent.

I don't know if it was because of the dual impact of scarlet corruption and severe pain on her shoulders that her mind was a little blurry. She felt that the man in front of her looked familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was.

And in this situation, she couldn't help but think too much, so she could only respond with difficulty:

"...Yes...Really? But no matter who you are, please leave my side..."

Millicent frowned at the pain caused by the crimson corruption surging in her body, and from time to time she groaned slightly, even her voice trembling slightly:

"The scarlet corruption in my body is squirming... This is a curse, something that ordinary people should not touch..."

Now, even if it has become such a mess, I would rather be tortured by scarlet corruption than trouble others, and still maintain my own will...

This was Millicent, the Millicent he remembered fondly.

This strong posture made him seem to see the figure of Marlenia in the past.

Although that woman was always ready to pull out the needle, but similarly, that woman's strength was not comparable to anyone else.

Seeing this, he took a deep breath, and after gradually calming down, he took out the beautiful and very slender gold needle from his leather bag and handed it over.

"Inserting this golden needle into the body will inhibit the scarlet corruption."

"..."

Millicent looked at the golden needle in his hand with some hesitation, then raised her head and looked at him.

"...Is what you said true? Is it enough to prick yourself with this golden needle? Will this curb the scarlet corruption?"

What she hesitated about was not whether this person had any malicious intent, because she had nothing worth plotting.

Now she is a disgusting cripple.

If you want to make a move, you don't need to be so troublesome at all, just make a move.

Although she couldn't tell the strength of the faded person in front of her, she had a feeling that if the opponent took action, he would definitely be able to kill her instantly.

The girl's brows were filled with melancholy and hesitation. She had already stretched out her hand, but quickly took it back, like a frightened deer.

She is afraid.

He was afraid that this golden needle would not work, which would indirectly lead to the outbreak of scarlet corruption, affecting this kind man.

But when she faced the faded man's dark eyes, which were so pure that they had no impurities, no distracting thoughts, and were full of kindness, she finally chose to believe it.

"alright, I got it...."

"Rather than continue to suffer from the scarlet corruption....I choose to trust you."

As he spoke, he took his golden needle and held it tightly, as if grasping a life-saving straw.

Now she is already a useless person, and even scarlet corruption may kill her at any time.

Therefore, instead of hesitating, it is better to fight.

However, there is one more thing....

"...Can you please leave here for a moment? Or stay further away..."

There was a hint of pleading in Millicent's voice.

She is not afraid of her body being seen by others, but she is afraid of failure.

If she failed, she didn't want others to see her ugly appearance when she was corroded by scarlet corruption.

If possible, she hopes that she is still a human being in the eyes of others.

It was also because of this that she chose to hide in this remote corner away from everything, not wanting anyone to discover her.

This is the only dignity she has left, her human dignity.

Like a cat that is about to die, it would rather find a secluded place to die alone than let others see the side of itself when it died.

He naturally understood what Millicent meant and respected her choice.

"Okay, if anything happens, just call me. I'll be waiting outside the door."

Before leaving, he didn't forget to add: "...Oh, by the way, my name is Reinhardt."

"Thank you, Mr. Reinhardt..."

A faint smile appeared on Millicent's face. She watched Reinhardt's back until it disappeared. Then she stretched out her remaining hand and unbuttoned her chest.

As soon as he arrived in the corridor, Reinhard heard a rustling sound coming from the room. Needless to say, it was the sound caused by the friction of cloth.

Millicent was probably taking off her clothes and trying to insert the golden needle into her body.

However, he was more curious. Did he really need to take off his clothes to insert a golden needle?

Obviously, neither Marlenia nor Millicent took off their clothes to remove the needles before they died.

In addition, now that Millicent has broken her arm, it seems that she has to find a way to get her a gold prosthetic hand, preferably the same type as Marlenia's.

But this thing, apart from Malenia herself who is located in the sleeping sacred tree, seems to be only available in Sunshade City at the junction of Yatan Plateau and Migel Volcano.

The city lord there, Malemare, is a loyal supporter, or admirer, of Malenia.

But he is also a disgraceful guy, a pathetic thing who will even have his own city plundered.

If he could, he didn't want to go to Sunshade City. Both the current situation of that fortress and that guy Malemare were disgusting.

Disgusting.

But there seems to be no other way...

"...Is this really good?"

Suddenly, Melina's figure appeared again.

He leaned against the wall and crossed his arms, while Melina stood in front of him, speaking in a very small voice that only the two of them could hear.

"What's wrong?" Reinhard also lowered his voice.

"...It's that golden needle. That golden needle always gives me a bad feeling, and the sage who calls himself Gewei... he doesn't seem to be human."

"I know." He said calmly: "I knew from the beginning that Gewei was not a human being, but a dependent Zerg that served the scarlet goddess of corruption."

"You should have seen just now that there were two Zerg guarding the door of the church. When we arrived, the departure of the two Zerg was proof of this."

"Gwei should have contacted the two gatekeepers through a special method."

"Furthermore, this is enough to show how important Millicent is to Gewei, or to the corrupt relatives."

Melina didn't react at first, but after a moment of thinking, she suddenly understood.

"...You mean..."

"That's right." Reinhard nodded seriously, then moved his gaze to the wall, as if watching Millicent in the room through the wall, "...Millicent was actually the one who released the scarlet corruption and used The dignity differentiated by Malenia with the power of scarlet.”

"..."

Melina opened her mouth slightly after hearing this, obviously very shocked by this.

She had never heard of this method.

However, her surprised look was not noticed by Reinhardt, who continued: "Although these corrupt dependents are the abandoned children of the once corrupt goddess, they have always believed in the Scarlet Goddess. After the Scarlet Goddess was killed by the Flowing Water Sword, After the warrior, they have been looking forward to the goddess's return."

"Until Radagan, the former second-generation King of Elden, obtained the power of corruption from the Scarlet Goddess Temple in Nokstra, another [Eternal City] under the academy."

"They finally have hope again."

"The power of scarlet corruption resides in the body of the twin demigod Malenia. Her birth disability and the scarlet corruption she was born with have become the targets of bugs."

"And a thousand years ago, after Malenia attacked Galid and liberated the Scarlet Corruption, this group of bugs also started their plan."

"Adopt all the separated individuals of Malenia, and then let them return to the Holy Tree, trying to return them to Malenia's true body, and let the scarlet corruption completely erode all of Malenia. "

"However, among them, Millicent is the most important, so she is given special care by Gewei and his family members."
