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

This is a safeguard to prevent the Faded Ones chosen by Melina, or other Faded Ones, from joining Mad Flame and becoming the King of Elden.

Once the Mad Fire rages, this power will awaken, prompting her to kill the current King of Elden or the King of Mad Fire.

She is truly a woman who plans everything for herself, although she can sometimes be cruel and cold-blooded.

"So, wise and clever Lady Marika, could you please answer another question for me now?"

As to why I showed up at this time and came out to see him.

Marika's spirit is now very weak, extremely weak.

But Marika seemed to be indifferent to her current situation and said slowly: "Even if you don't ask this question, I will tell you..."

"However, before that, I need an answer. Why do you need this hunting finger knife?"

Upon hearing Marika's question, Reinhardt immediately looked at her like she was a fool and said with disdain, "You've been living in Ashmi's body for so long, and Ashmi has been living in me. You should know these things."

"Yes, I do know, but I hope to hear the answer from you."

Marika stopped laughing and turned serious.

This reminded him that the woman in front of him was once the god of the golden tree, the iron-blooded queen who killed the fire giants and many races and reduced them to slaves.

"alright, you win."

At this point, he had no choice but to compromise, raising his hands to signal his surrender, and replied, "Of course it's for Renee. This is Renee's order and Renee's wish. As a knight, I naturally have to fulfill it."

"Is that all?" Marika tilted her head slightly. "...What about you? Don't you have any thoughts about this?"

"Yes, of course."

He said seriously, "Rani's will is my will. While completing your commission, I will also be loyal to Renee."

"So, since Lani is against the Two Fingers, then whether it's the Two Fingers or the Supreme Will, they are all my enemies."

"I will transform into a sharp blade and sweep away all enemies that stand in Lani's way."

After listening to this, Marika slowly closed her eyes, with a smile on her lips.

"Kalia's successor, Moon Princess Rani, has truly found an excellent and dedicated knight."

Marika said as if she was sighing, but there was a hint of jealousy.

She was indeed jealous of Lani for having such a fan.

Even though she once had a powerful warrior named Holly Lu, who later changed her name to Gefulei, she still wanted a knight like Reinhardt, forcing her to want him even more.

As the saying goes, which girl doesn’t have love in her heart?

She, Malika, is no exception.

After a long time, Marika seemed to come out of her emotional state and slowly opened her eyes. His face was reflected in her pure golden pupils.

The face that originally revealed endless charm and seduction in her smile now became full of holiness, and the emotions hidden in her eyes gradually became indifferent, giving off a feeling of contempt for all living beings.

As if declaring, he said to him, "Knight Reinhard of Kalia, your answer moves my heart, and so I will give you a gift made of gold."

"Obtain the reborn Great Rune and journey to the underground of the royal city. There is a being waiting for you to awaken."

"Then go to the center of the golden tree. There lies a weapon that belongs only to you, waiting for you to draw it."

"That weapon will help you annihilate your enemies."

After saying this, Marika closed her eyes again, and that divine holiness disappeared.

The long hair that was tied into a big braid suddenly spread out, as if all the makeup had been washed away. The golden color on it was disappearing, and the length of the hair was gradually getting shorter.

The long hair that originally extended to the ankles has been shortened to the waist, and the golden color has completely faded and returned to silver-white.

The faded gold formed light spots that spread in the air and gradually dissipated.

His face also gradually changed and returned to Ashimi's original appearance.

When the light faded away, Ashmi slowly opened his eyes, and the golden color of his eyeballs turned into silver.

A look of apology inexplicably appeared on her face, and she said to him, "I'm sorry, Master. I kept this secret from you for so long, and just now, Lady Marika...left."

"fine."

Reinhardt smiled and signaled Ashmi not to take it to heart.

And more interesting than Ashmi's insignificant concealment is the woman Malika.

Just as suddenly as she appeared, she disappeared again.

No goodbye, no sign, nothing, he just left so suddenly.

Moreover, by looking at the look on Ashmi's face, he could guess that this time, Malika had left Ashmi's body and left here completely.

I thought this woman was going to use Ashimi's body to spend the night with him, but I didn't expect her to run away in such a hurry.

It’s funny even thinking about it.

However, he still had a very important question.

"Ashimi, did you hear what Queen Malika said just now? Do you know what it meant?"

Facing his question, Ashimi nodded first, then shook his head, "I'm sorry, my master, Ashimi doesn't know."

Although she and Malika had been together for a long time, so long that even Ashmi herself couldn't remember it.

But most of the time, Marika remained silent. Even when she came out, she only taught her some knowledge and never mentioned her purpose.

Therefore, even she was unaware of what had just happened.

"Tsk, this woman really gave me a difficult problem."

Riddler, please get out of the junction, okay?

If he remembered correctly, the underground of the royal city was where the crazy fire was.

Although I have never been there, I knew something about it in my previous life.

It is said that a large caravan of wandering merchants is buried there. They were falsely accused of believing in insanity and were buried because of it. However, the despair during the burial summoned insanity.

But the question is, what did Marika ask him to do in the place where the crazy fire was sealed?

Could it be that he was planning to grant him the Mad Fire, release Melina's power, and then cut his kidney with a knife, just like the eldest prince Godwin?

There is also the center of the golden tree. Apart from a corpse belonging to Malika and Radagon, there is only a large preserved egg.

Where are the weapons?

If I have to say, I do have a few.

One is the stone hammer that Marika used to smash the Elden Ring, and the other is a divine sword that appeared from the body of Radagon or Marika, but that is Da Pidan's weapon.

Neither of them has anything to do with him.

Could it be that Marika is like some ruthless person who has lived through many lifetimes, allowing him to roam the borderland with weapons forged from his former body?

If it's Marika, then it's not impossible...

I spent the night with so many questions in my mind.

The next day, Noklon was still the same, unable to distinguish between day and night. He could only judge whether it was dark or day based on his own feelings.

This time, he and Ashmi received a call from the witch of the night, the woman called the high priestess.

They were taken to the church, and the Night Witch took an exquisite box from the swordsman serving beside her and handed it to Ashmi.

Ashmi opened the box on the spot and saw a strange-looking dagger lying quietly inside.

"Lord Ashimi, your honorable king, this is the Hunting Finger Knife. Now it is in your hands. I hope you can use it properly and fulfill our long-cherished wish."

The Night Witch bowed her head respectfully, and the swordsmen around her did the same thing in unison.

But Ashimi ignored the Night Witch, or rather, she didn't care about the Night Witch's attitude at all.

He took out the hunting finger knife, threw the box away, and handed it to him.

"My dear master, this time Ashmi has perfectly completed the task you assigned me."

She said this in public, in front of all the people of Knox.

However, these Knox people did not have any special reaction, and just stood there with their heads down like statues.

Only when the Night Witch looked at him, he felt a strange gaze from under the scarf.

But before he could think, the Night Witch known as the High Priestess waved her hand and had the second item presented.

"Dear guest, this gift is for you."

A Knox swordsman dragged a tray and handed the contents to him.

It was a helmet, a helmet that shone like a mirror.

"Is this a mirrored helmet?"

Reinhardt couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't expect that not only did there not be any conflict during this trip, but it was like a vacation, and he was also given such a valuable gift.

It can deflect all interference, even two fingers or the supreme will.

209. Brother Wolf, You Are Saved! (4.6K)

“I didn’t expect this trip to be so smooth.”

They came out from underground and saw the blue sky again.

He had originally expected that he would have a conflict with the remnants of Knox hiding in the Eternal City, but he did not expect to escape from there without bloodshed.

Even with the high priest's consent, Ashmi followed him and left.

Now she is like a white swan, proudly raising her silver hair.

"Of course, Master. All of this is thanks to Ashimi. My dear Master, please don't forget this."

"Yes, yes, it's all thanks to you."

The perfunctory attitude and the flattering tone made Ashmi turn his head away in indignation.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but smile.

Indeed, all the credit for this trip to Noklongen goes to Ashmi. If it weren't for her, it probably wouldn't have been so easy to get the treasure.

And judging from the appearance of the Night Witch known as the High Priest, it seems that she still has some hidden cards that she hasn't revealed yet.

The indifferent composure and the confidence he showed when facing Ashimi did not seem to be pretended.

As for the others, they almost knelt down in unison to bid farewell to Ashmi. The eyes of those monks who were not wearing eye masks or scarves were full of expectations.

It was as if they were hoping that Ashmi would lead them back to earth when he returned next time, rather than continuing to wait under this long and false starry sky.

Unfortunately, Ashmi didn't seem interested in them.

I don't want to respond to their expectations at all.

"Hey, let's check out the spoils..."

After walking out of the misty forest and returning to the main road, Reinhardt took out the Knox mirror helmet given by the Night Witch from his pocket.

What he didn't expect was that these Knox survivors were so generous that they gave him this helmet called the cursed instrument.

"My Lord, is it nothing more than a fragile broken helmet? Is it worth your happiness?"

Seeing his excited face, Ashimi couldn't help but curl her lips and complain.

In response to Ashmi's complaints, he just smiled slightly, replied "You don't understand", and continued to appreciate it.

Admire the mirror inlaid on it and the exquisite carvings.

Although it is a helmet, it is as exquisite as a work of art.

Moreover, this is not some broken helmet, but a legendary item.

According to the high priest, this helmet is a piece of protective gear worn by people who have committed heinous acts.

Can deflect all interference──

Contains the Supreme Will, and its messenger finger.

However, when she said this, the expressions of the Knox swordsmen following her obviously turned ugly.

Perhaps to the people of the border area, that man committed a heinous act, but to the Knox people, he was a great hero.
