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

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

The pain from the burning flames gradually brought Millicent back to consciousness from her frenzy.

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

She staggered and tried to stand up, holding on to the thick tree roots, but she had no strength in her body.

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.

In the end it seemed to have failed.

She now has some vague memories of what happened after that.

"Am I going crazy again?"

This is one of the reasons why she came to the Ionian Swamps to prevent others from coming, because she sometimes loses her mind due to the influence of the Crimson Corruption and kills people indiscriminately.

Even imprisoning himself in the church was of no avail, and he even learned to split the red spirit to attack others.

Although few people come to the Ionian Swamps due to the patrols of the Red Lion soldiers, there are always one or two who slip through the net, just like that man...

"Why, have you woken up yet? Or rather, haven't you woken up yet?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Millicent subconsciously raised her head and saw a man slowly walking towards her. In the dark night, he was like a bright light.

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

The axe in his hand seemed to be on fire, or burning red.

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

190. Old Bug Gwei (4.2K)

In a dilapidated church somewhere just above the magical town of Ceria.

The cool breeze of Gailey slowly blew through the nearly open-air chapel, where a young girl, deeply corroded by scarlet corruption, lay. Her two beautiful eyebrows were slightly furrowed, as if she had had a nightmare.

Suddenly, the girl's eyelashes fluttered as she opened her eyes. Her golden pupils dilated slightly, and there was still a hint of fear in them.

She quickly looked at her slightly trembling hands, and her eyes were suddenly filled with fear, and her eyes seemed to be trembling slightly.

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

Millicent murmured dully.

A look of hatred gradually emerged in his eyes.

Although I don’t know what happened to the red spirit I just separated, since I woke up safely in the church, I must have lost my mind and killed the other party 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 I could be stronger...

If I had the power to fight and suppress the Scarlet Corruption...

Those innocent people will not die tragically under his sword!

When I thought of this, a feeling of sadness suddenly spread in my heart.

"In that case..."

She suddenly looked at the long sword abandoned aside, and a terrible idea suddenly emerged in her mind.

Since she couldn't stop the Crimson Corruption from eroding her mind, she had to find a way to stop herself from hurting others!

Millicent's eyes were gradually filled with determination.

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

Meanwhile, the Ionian swamps.

Reinhardt stood in thought at the spot where Millicent's red spirit had just disappeared.

Although Millicent had only been there for a short time, he was already able to ascertain some information.

First of all, Marennia did differentiate out the existence of Millicent, and his plan to go with the flow a thousand years ago was not in vain.

Secondly, Millicent is still being infested and corroded by the Scarlet Corruption, and it has reached the point where she occasionally loses her mind, which is quite serious.

Fortunately, Millicent's limbs are intact, unlike Marlene's, who is disabled and needs to have prosthetic feet and limbs.

He has also perfectly inherited Malenia's sword skills. Although his Water Bird Dance is not a return to its original state, it has reached a superb level.

At least if it comes to a pure swordsmanship contest, he is naturally no match for her.

Finally, Millicent should have reached adulthood and be old enough to eat cream puffs... Ahem, this doesn't count, it's just his imagination.

It's normal for men to have random thoughts from time to time.

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

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

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

It was, of course, the church above the distant magical town of Ceria.

But at daybreak, when leaving the swamp and entering the Selia checkpoint, I met another person—

The abandoned child of the Scarlet Goddess of Corruption, also a worshipper of the Scarlet Goddess, the great sage of the Zerg - Gwei.

However, what appeared before him was just a spirit projected by the message, somewhat similar to the Red Spirit, but not aggressive, and could only answer simple questions.

Anyone who is a pyroxene magician or skilled in prayer can do it, just like the simple tricks that Blaze and Old Man Iggy can also do.

The content of the message was just an invitation for him to visit the dilapidated house.

Since he wanted to see Millicent, he naturally had to go through this great Zerg sage.

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

Moreover, it is also about the pure golden needle. Apart from Michaela, the creator of the golden needle, only this so-called Zerg Great Sage can repair it.

So he decided to go and see it.

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

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

He responded in a polite tone:

"Hello, old man."

"Hello, Faded One, my name is Gwei. In the past, people called me the Sage."

Gwei calmly began to introduce himself.

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

In fact, they are the Zerg that were 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 the Blind Swordsman.

Abandoned by the goddess.

814 The Thirty-year-old Kirin

Even now, they still await the return of their god, now the Scarlet Goddess Malenia.

And Gwei is their sage. After the Shattering War, he took in the different incarnations of Malenia one by one and raised them to adulthood.

Then he sent them back to the sacred 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] Marennia.

And now the plan is almost completed, except for Millicent.

Return her to the sacred tree, and let the scarlet flowers of despair bloom, and they will be able to welcome back the goddess who once ravaged the earth.

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

"...Dear Faded One, I have a favor to ask of you. I beg you to grant my request."

"For this matter, I can only ask you, the Faded One, who was able to deceive those Red Lion soldiers and still be strong after crossing the Crimson Swamp of Ionia, to help."

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

"I'm willing to tell you what secrets that town of Selia over there hides."

The old guy kept talking to himself the whole time, not giving him any room to interrupt.

But it doesn’t matter.

"I can help you."

He nodded gently, which immediately made Gwei very happy, but then he changed the subject:

"However, I am not interested in the secrets of the magical town of Ceria..."

Because of this sentence, Gwei suddenly became alert.

Although they are insects that kill and never show mercy to humans, as sages they have successfully integrated into the human world.

And they think like humans.

In the past, Gwei had seen many humans and all kinds of 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 offer, be careful. This person may ask for an exorbitant price or have other intentions.

This was the main reason why Gwei became alert, but his expression was completely expressionless as he continued to ask kindly:

"So, what do you desire, venerable Fader?"

Reinhardt extended a hand toward Gwei, fingers spread wide. "Five hundred thousand runes."

"...Faded One, five hundred thousand runes is a bit too much. I..."

"Really? That's my price. If you don't like it, forget it."

Having said that, he turned around and prepared to leave, but before he stepped over the threshold, Gwei's voice came again.

"Wait a moment."

"Even if you want 500,000 runes, let me find a way to raise 500,000 for you, okay?"

"Of course, don't worry, you can pay after you finish the work. I am a very moral person." He turned around and smiled at Ge Wei who was sitting motionless in the chair.

"...Thank you for your magnanimity."

The scene was like a bully forcing an old man to pay protection money.

But don't be fooled by the fact that Gwei looks sighing on the surface, he is actually secretly happy in his heart.

Five hundred thousand runes is a drop in the bucket for the Zerg. Not to mention five hundred thousand, they can even come up with five million, and it is nothing compared to welcoming back their gods.

The reason I behaved like that just now was just to dispel the other party's concerns.

After all, it was a bit unbelievable that an old man living in a dilapidated house could suddenly come up with 500,000 runes, which could easily make people wary.

Now it seems to be quite successful and everything is going as expected.

Little did they know that Reinhardt had the same idea.

And his opinion is that 500,000 is a bit too little. If he had known earlier, he should have asked for more.

But compared to Millicent's importance, less is better.

At worst, I can get it back from Marennia later, or maybe Millicent, right?

Then, Gwei briefly introduced to him the situation of Millicent who was in the church on the cliff behind the magical town of Ceria.

He suffers from a putrefactive disease and is bedridden for years.

Little did he know that Millicent had just split out a red spirit to snipe him in the Ionian swamp, causing quite a stir.

But one thing is certain, the corruption that Millicent suffers from comes from Marennia, and it is the purest and richest scarlet corruption.
