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

If you plan to go to the lower level to meet Malenia, Finlay is an indispensable presence.

Because Fenlei's prestige among the Zunfu Knights is second only to Marennia, with her around, the group of Zunfu Knights responsible for guarding will surely give way.

Otherwise, he would have to continue killing.

And this will make the relationship between the Holy Tree and Kalia even more tense.

After saying that, he immediately turned his gaze to the strange female faded person.

"Miss, aren't you going to introduce yourself? You've been staring at me since you walked in. Do we... know each other?"

"..."

The Faded One came to him silently, his figure reflected in her beautiful eyes, which were also filled with the joy of reunion.

"...Finally seeing you again, Reinhardt."

"????"

The other party's happy tone made him a little confused for a moment.

Who is this woman?

do you know it?

Why don’t you remember?

He racked his brains but couldn't remember who this woman was, but she did look a little familiar.

"...It seems you have forgotten me..."

Seeing Reinhardt's puzzled expression, the woman pursed her lips slightly. "I am the knight of Lady Michaela's retinue, Dolores, the [Sleeping Arrow], a former member of the Round Table. Do you remember what I said?"

"Oh--"

Reinhardt suddenly understood.

Now that he said that, he did remember.

A thousand years ago, when he followed Lani to the Royal City of Rodel, he saved the female knight by destroying the conspiracy of the old pervert Servais in the Hall of the Round Table.

Not only did this woman not thank him, she chased him for several blocks with a bow and arrow.

All his past memories were awakened at this moment, and he couldn't help but tease, "Why, now that you're Michaela's man, you want to pick up a bow and arrow and chase me for a few blocks?"

"No...it's not."

His joking words immediately made Dolores lower her head in embarrassment, "...I'm sorry, Reinhardt. I've always been deeply sorry for what happened a thousand years ago. I'm sorry..."

"I've always wanted to express my gratitude to you, but I never found the chance. Today, I finally met you again..."

Dolores slowly raised her head and looked at him seriously. "Thank you, Reinhardt. Thank you for stopping me back then. Otherwise, I might have been deceived by that scumbag Servis and turned into a puppet."

"Thank you. I, Dolores, owe you a favor."

In response to Dolores's thanks, Reinhardt waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Well, no need to thank me."

"I didn't do it for you at that time. It was mainly for two reasons."

"First, I don't like that old pervert Servis."

"Secondly, as a knight serving Her Highness Renee, and because Michaela chose you as her knight-in-waiting, I couldn't stand by and watch that old pervert Servais interfere and destroy the relationship between Her Highness Renee and Michaela, so I rescued you."

"What I did was not for you. You have to understand this."

He spoke very cruelly.

Is it because of resentment about what happened in the past?

This is for sure. Even if you say you don’t care, you still have some thoughts in your mind.

But what he said is indeed true.

But there was one thing he didn't say out loud, there was another reason why he chose to save this woman.

He wanted to keep Dolores alive to restrain Lord Gideon Ofnir and prevent that man from going astray.

Now it seems that it did play a significant role.

Sir Baizhi was indeed much more restrained than the one he remembered.

However, a normal person would have turned away and left without further ado after hearing his words, but Dolores did not. Instead, she said to him more solemnly, "But you saved me, and this is an unchangeable fact."

"...No matter what your motives were, you saved me. I owe you a favor."

"..."

This woman is so stubborn.

Your master already owes me a favor, and now you insist on saying this.

What, are you going to pack up and send it to my bed with your master or what?

Looking at Dolores's stubborn look, he finally waved his hand helplessly, "Alright, since you said you owe it, then I'll pay it."

"But since you've said that, do me a favor. I'm planning to meet Marenia, and I hope you can mobilize those Holy Tree Knights and soldiers, as well as those weird guys, to get out of my way."

"Oh, by the way, I'll leave the matter with the Zunfu Knight to you, Fenlei."

He finally revealed his purpose.

However, Fenley was not surprised. She had known from the beginning that Reinhardt wanted to see Lady Marennia, so she nodded seriously and said, "Okay, Lord Rhine, leave this matter to me."

She couldn't release Miss Letina, but she could still make the Zunfu Knight give way.

But compared to Finlay's decisiveness, Dolores showed a completely different emotion. She asked in surprise, "Is that all?"

"That's enough." He nodded in response.

What? Do you really want to pack up and send both you and your master to my bed?

Reinhardt secretly complained in his heart.

Because apart from this function, he couldn't think of any other way for these people to repay their gratitude.

"..."

Dolores was silent for a moment and nodded: "Okay, I understand."

Then he left here with Fenlei to prepare to lobby the Holy Tree Knights and the Honored Corruption Knights.

So, there's only one last thing left.

Reinhardt turned his head slightly. "You will be coming with me, Miss Millicent?"

"...Long time no see, Mr. Rhine."

The bright red cape of the Holy Tree fluttered slightly with her steps. Millicent, dressed as a Valkyrie, came before him. "Mr. Rhine, it seems we have come to the same destination. I do intend to go to the lower levels of the Holy Tree to meet Marenia."

During the journey, Millicent has realized that the relationship between herself and Marenia is a blood connection.

As to whether they were biological children, sisters, or her doppelgangers, Millicent had no idea.

But she could clearly feel that she and Malenia had a close kinship connection.

The purpose of this visit to Marenia was not to clarify the relationship between her and Marenia, but to return something to Marenia——

The will that Marennia once held, the pride she had as a human being to fight against the whispers of scarlet corruption, and the commandments she was willing to break in order to become her enemy, Latan.

"Really? That's really lucky."

Everything is proceeding according to the original track, which makes it easier to control.

Millicent:?

"No, it's nothing, forget it, it's just my soliloquy."

Reinhardt smiled and looked at Millicent in front of him again.

Compared to her pale and haggard appearance in the past, Millicent's face now has a rosier complexion, she speaks with more confidence, and she exudes a heroic spirit inside and out.

It is precisely carved out of the same mold as the Valkyrie, but just a size smaller.

Moreover, she now has a prosthetic arm installed on her shoulder where she lost her arm. It is the same model as Malenia's, made of pure gold.

"That prosthetic limb...did you get it in Sunshade City?"

"Yes."

Millicent nodded, holding her prosthetic hand and looking at it before answering, "This was given to me by Master Finlay when he took me to Sunshade City."

"There we also met a strange man named Patch. He seemed to know you, Mr. Rhine. He asked me to convey to you—"

"You're right. I can never defeat that snake..."

Then Millicent felt around on her body again, pulled out a strange stone from her bosom and handed it to him.

This is....

He stared at the stone in his hand for a while.

A golden emblem was faintly engraved on the stone, which was the three-ring symbol of the Golden Law. Countless dark branches were also wrapped around the surface of the stone.

This thing looked very familiar to him, a sense of déjà vu, especially the pattern of the Golden Law on it and the subtle power contained within it...

"Isn't this thing Markit's prisoner?!"

He suddenly remembered.

This is a prison instrument specially used to deal with the Sons of Evil Omens, and each piece of prison instrument corresponds to a Son of Evil Omen who must be strictly disciplined.

This piece corresponds to Markit, also known as Monggot.

He remembered there was another piece that was used to restrain Monger, but Monger was dead and no longer needed.

"This is what Mr. Patch asked me to pass on to you. He said it's a reward for you. I'm sure you'll be able to use it."

Seeing his surprised expression, Millicent explained gently.

"Oh, Patch..." He put away his surprise and muttered as if he understood.

As for Patch, it wasn't surprising at all that he went to Sunshade City; it was completely expected.

But I didn't expect this guy to be so fearless.

But I didn't expect that guy would actually ask someone to send the prison instruments as a gift. It was really a timely help.

Now he has found a way to obtain the fragments of the magic ring and go to the center of the golden tree without killing the gatekeeper Mungert.

As long as he is restrained by the prison instruments, won't he have to do whatever he wants?

No matter what he did, Mongget would be unable to resist by then.

But there is one more thing...

"Fenlei...Master?"

"Yes, Master Fenley is my master now."

"Master Finlay took good care of me and taught me a lot, including fighting, survival, and... faith, everything I lacked."

"I'm very grateful to her. If it weren't for Master Fenlei, I probably wouldn't be able to come to the Sacred Tree."

It was clear that although the two had not been in contact for too long, Millicent had already developed a deep bond with Finlay.

This is really an unexpected surprise.

He originally thought that Finlay would return to the sacred tree after the Red Lion Battle Festival, but he didn't expect that he would choose to stay with Millicent.

She was probably genuinely curious about Millicent's identity.

Plus, she looked like Malenia, so I helped take care of her.

He had originally wanted to ask how Millicent came to the Sacred Tree, but now it seemed that she must have come here by boat with Finlay.

"Mr. Rhine?"

Seeing that he was a little dazed, Millicent couldn't help but call him softly.

"It's okay, I was just thinking about something."

As Reinhardt spoke, he looked at Millicent again, his eyes full of smiles. "It's indeed good to have Finlay's care. She is also qualified to be your master."

He once carried the unconscious Malenia back to the sacred tree alone. If someone with such strength and strong will is not qualified, then who else is qualified?

Reinhardt expressed his willingness to call Finlay the number one person under the demigod.
