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

The look in his eyes made Gewei tremble with fear, as if he was being targeted by his natural enemy.

This made Gwei feel uncomfortable.

But in the end, Reinhardt looked away, put Rune away, and temporarily gave up this idea.

"Okay, I've received my reward, so I'll be leaving now."

Although he is not a gentleman, a deal is a deal. No matter who the other party is, since the other party has paid the reward, there is no need to continue to cheat.

If the other party doesn't give it, then he will explode the other party into Rune and accept it to stop the loss in time.

When he was about to leave the shabby house, Gwei suddenly called him again.

"...Wait a minute, there's one more thing I want to ask of you."

"I hope you can protect Millicent. The girl is similar to her mother and is a talented swordsman in the making."

"But he had no choice but to cut off his own arm, and he was too young and immature."

"If she can grow up, she might become a great help to you."

"So, please, Fader."

Gwei lowered his head again, as if this was Gwei's life's request.

"Since you're paying me so much, I can certainly do this little thing."

Reinhardt looked at Gwei with a half-smile on his face, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

How could he not know what this old bug was planning?

He simply wanted him to cultivate a good relationship with Millicent, and then wait until Millicent arrived at the sacred tree before letting him kill Millicent with his own hands, thus letting the so-called most beautiful flower of despair bloom.

Being betrayed by the person closest to her would completely shatter Marennia's dignity.

By then, Marlenya will descend upon the borderland again with a brand new look, demonstrating her own unique law of scarlet corruption and becoming a true scarlet goddess.

And then this group of corrupt followers can welcome their goddess back again.

But unfortunately, Reinhardt had already seen through everything.

None of this can go as the old bug wishes.

It's true that he will cultivate a good relationship with Millicent, but this time, whether Millicent goes to the Holy Tree or is killed by other incarnations of Malenia when she is about to meet Malenia.

He would never let Millicent die again.

I will never make the same mistake again and play out the scene in the game again.

Even if it is just a tender bud, he will never let this scarlet flower bloom!

No matter what, absolutely not!

Besides that, there is one more thing that needs to be dealt with.

"Sage Gwei, I've always been curious about something. Among the many flowers that bloom in the borderland, which one is your favorite? I personally prefer the Atas flower, which symbolizes funerals."

"...Um?"

Gwei slowly raised his head, his eyes a little dazed, not understanding why the Faded Man in front of him suddenly asked this.

But this question really touched Gewei's heart.

“To be honest, I am actually a follower of the divine being Marenia. During that protracted and devastating war, I saw the scarlet flower blooming from Lady Marenia.

Therefore, I believe that the most beautiful flower should be the beautiful scarlet flower that blooms in despair!"

The corners of Gewei's mouth grinned involuntarily, and an inexplicable smile appeared on his face, as if he had thought of something very worth being happy about.

Then he slowly stretched out his hands into the air, as if begging for the goddess's blessing.

"It is so beautiful, adorned with despair, oh..."

"Really? But I don't think so."

Just as Gwei was immersed in his intoxication, Reinhardt suddenly interrupted his fantasy, "I think there is a flower more beautiful than the scarlet flower blooming in Marennia."

"...What flower? Is there anything in this world more beautiful than the scarlet flower blooming from Lady Marennia?!"

Hearing his words, Gwei's attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees and became indignant.

To Gwei, no flower in the world could compare to the scarlet flower blooming from Lady Marennia.

That is the most beautiful existence in the world.

"Of course there is, that is..."

Swah——

Suddenly there was a sound of breaking wind, accompanied by intense heat.

At some point, Reinhardt had already grasped his "De" in his hand. The hot hand axe cut through the air, leaving a red scratch in the void.

After chopping the axe, he slowly put away his "virtue" again.

He said to Gwei, who was sitting in a daze on the chair, "Of course it is the red flame flower that bloomed from your flesh and blood."

“.....!!!”

Gwei stared at him with wide eyes, saying nothing.

Until his body began to burn for no reason, and a large amount of flames burst out from the scratch, engulfing Gwei and the broken house. The burning fire burned the air and slightly distorted it.

And in that flame.

Gwei's human skin and coat gradually fell off, revealing the bony white skeleton inside, which was structured like a centipede.

"I didn't intend to do this, you brought this upon yourself."

Looking at Gwei who was like a sculpture in the flames, and feeling the runes gathering in his body, he couldn't help but sneer, with disgust in his eyes.

Originally, he really had no intention of taking action, thinking that this guy had paid 500,000 yuan for his life, so there was no need to kill him.

But when he heard the last words, he changed his mind and decided to kill the old bug to prevent future troubles.

The drama that belongs to Gwei should end here, and the subsequent dramas should be written by him.

Moreover, Confucius once said:

Chopping the grass does not remove the roots, but the spring breeze blows and regenerates.

This is because this group of Zerg stays underground, and their hometown is in the temple near the Grand Corridor of Noxstella.

Otherwise, he would have to wipe out all these corrupt followers and even shake the egg yolks apart!

So that you don’t come out and hurt others again.

besides...

"The number of runes revealed is really small..."

While muttering in disgust, he left the dilapidated house without looking back and let it burn.

Fortunately, Millicent no longer remembers her adoptive father, Gwei. If she did, she would not be so sad when she knew Gwei's true face.

But then again, this is double insurance.

Now that the old bug Gwei is dead, Millicent will no longer have any worries, and she will not be afraid that the bug who has lost its "brain" will do something in secret.

Then he called out Torret and left.

When we arrived at the Selia checkpoint, we found Millicent.

Millicent gazed at the blazing fire in the distance, an indescribable emotion in her golden eyes.

Reinhardt, who was standing beside her, was looking at the fire burning in the distance with an indifferent expression, without any fluctuation in his eyes.

"Dust to dust, ashes to ashes... maybe that was done by your adoptive father, Sage Gwei, to stop you from thinking about it."

"We should also leave to attend the Red Lion Battle Festival in southern Galid."

193. Reunion before the Festival (6.4K)

"...Are you serious? Are you really going to give me this knife?"

The sky is filled with gloom but also with a hint of red clouds, under the clouds that are as heavy as lead.

The raindrops falling from the sky wet the earth.

Millicent followed him in the misty drizzle, repeating the same question for who knows how many times.

She was holding a sword that looked exquisitely crafted in her arms, and with her empty right arm, she looked like a female version of Yang Guo.

"Ah, yes, this knife is indeed for you."

"That scimitar you used before, which resembled a hound's tusk, was quite good, but it was too heavy. I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy to use with Water Bird Dance."

"Besides, you need to practice your left-handed sword for a while. I think such a light weapon is more suitable for you, Miss Millicent."

Along the way, Reinhardt said that he didn't know how many times he had heard this question from Millicent, which made him think of Burke who was studying tailoring skills in the town at the gate of the magic academy.

She doesn't have the heroic and free-spirited look of Marlenya at all.

I just bought a long knife for Millicent, is it necessary to make such a big deal out of this?

But what he didn't know was that in all these years, or even since she was born, Millicent seemed to have never received a gift from anyone.

Even the knife used was picked up from the edge of the Ionian swamp.

How could Millicent not be excited to receive such a gift now?

Moreover, this knife is indeed worth a lot of money, and its workmanship can be said to be very fine, completely different from ordinary standard weapons.

Reinhardt bought this sword from a faded person who came from outside the border area.

Those people were setting up stalls on the roadside, wearing strange armor that looked like it was made by stringing together iron sheets and tying them tightly, and then wearing a kimono-like lining inside.

There is an incredibly thick cloth rope tied around the waist, and I don’t know what it is used for.

This man claimed to be from the Inaba clan of the Land of Reeds, and had come here to catch up with the old man, their master who had abandoned them.

However, due to the lack of Rune, it is difficult to move forward, so stalls like this are set up on the roadside.

And this tachi is the weapon that the Inaba clan put all their efforts into creating.

It cost him a full thirty thousand runes.

Although I don’t know if it’s true that much effort was put into it, this knife is indeed very sharp, not difficult to pick up, and it’s also lightweight.

It suits Millicent now very well.

So he bought it and gave it to Millicent as a weapon.

"...I understand. I will definitely cherish this weapon."

While expressing her gratitude, Millicent tightened her grip on the katana in her arms.

It was as if he regarded it as a treasure that he was afraid outsiders would take away.

By the way, they are currently in front of the Unbroken Bridge leading to the distant Red Lion City.

Originally, I remembered that this place should be a war zone with fireworks all over the sky.

However, now not only is there no familiar swirling fireworks, nor is there a fight between the Red Lion soldiers and the scarlet corrupted infected creatures, even the turbid and choking air has become very clear.

Moreover, it is very lively here.

Apart from the continuous and enthusiastic hawking sounds on the street, the place is almost entirely filled with people. It can be said that this is the most lively place in the entire Gaileyd.

The reason for this lively atmosphere is naturally the upcoming Red Lion Battle Festival.

Most of the people who came were faded ones, and many of them came to join in the fun, wanting to see the heroic figure of the strongest demigod. Only a small number of them wanted to challenge the one who was hailed as the most powerful demigod in the Shattered War - [Star-Breaking General] Ratan.

And this group of people are mentally prepared.

Knowing that this ceremony is a celebration forged with blood and fire.

However, Reinhardt said he had no interest in knowing what these Faded Ones were thinking.

What interested him even more was the repair of the sword monuments standing beside the Unbreakable Bridge, which were engraved with the words:

"The Red Lion City War.

A battle between the strongest and a demigod."

If I remember correctly, this sword monument was originally used to record major wars, but the battle with Latan was not here, so why was it built here?
