Elden Clergyman

"If you wake up, get up."

The tone was even colder and more dismissive than before, but...

Lord rolled his eyes, feeling the softness at the back of his head, and thought to himself, at least you should do the whole act, what's the point of doing half of it?

And your half-set isn't very good either. Look at the guilty look in your eyes and the stiffness of your body. It's simply...

Ugh.

Lord sighed inwardly and was about to get up.

But before he could raise his head, a ball of gold suddenly appeared in front of him, and his head, which was half raised, fell back down.

"What are you doing suddenly?"

Lord looked at Alice in front of him. Although he was used to her appearing and disappearing, he was startled when she suddenly appeared just after waking up.

"nothing."

Alice looked away and shook her head.

"I'll just see what the situation is like now. If possible, I'd like to meet that person, but it seems like it's not the right time yet."

"What do you mean by meeting?" Lord was a little confused.

But Alice didn't answer. She shook her head and disappeared again.

Because he was used to Alice's Riddler behavior, Lord didn't hesitate and sat up from Melina's arms.

"How long have I slept?"

"About half a day."

"That's okay."

He tidied up his clothes that were messed up when he fell asleep, took out his spirit horse whistle, and was about to blow it when he suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Melina.

"Your hand..."

Melina was silent for a moment, wanting to say something, but finally took it out.

The burns were still there, but the severity was significantly reduced.

It looks like the treatment is working.

Lord nodded, ready to continue treating her when he had some rest.

But before the treatment is complete...

"Here, here you go."

Lord handed her a pair of silk gloves that were just enough to cover the exposed parts.

"If you don't mind, you can use this to cover it up until the treatment is completely completed."

Normal gloves were too much for Melina to wear, and the abnormal ones would burn instantly if she tried to hide the burns.

Only now, after treatment, the burns have been temporarily suppressed.

And these thin silk gloves woven from souls will not hinder Melina's movements and strength.

Looking at the gloves handed to her by Lord, Melina hesitated for a long time, but finally accepted them.

"......Thanks."

"Why are you being so polite to me?"

After watching her put on the gloves, Lord blew the whistle and started exploring again.

Behind him, Melina, who usually stares blankly on the road, for some reason kept looking down at the gloves on her hands while she was on the road.

Maybe, I should return it...

She thought so.

But no action was taken.

Lord didn't notice Melina's little action, or even if he did, he probably wouldn't care.

Because there are things more worthy of his attention right now.

For example, the scarlet cesspool in front of us.

"Oh, I knew it."

Looking at the scarlet area in front of him, which looked like the cesspool that Xiao Gao had to pass by when he was in elementary school, Lord shook his head.

After taking two steps and getting closer, he discovered that this cesspool was not only full of feces, but it could also explode!

I see. When Xiao Gao was going to school, he passed by a septic tank and was covered in explosions from firecrackers thrown into it, right?

After complaining for a while, Lord entered the scarlet poison pool in front of him.

But contrary to his expectations, his scarlet corruption bar did not accumulate, and there was no abnormality in the spirit horse under him.

"As a spirit, Torret cannot be infected by the Crimson Corruption."

Melina explained.

Lord's eyes lit up.

Is there such a good thing? Then he took back what he said before. Xiao Gao might not have waded through the poison pool on foot when he was a child, but rode his bicycle across it...

But just as he was thinking this, a warning light flashed, and Torret stopped, forcing him to dismount.

Damn, Xiao Gao fell into a pit again while riding, right?

【Invaded by Millicent! 】

Who is Millicent?

After taking out Elizabeth's double-edged knife, Lord looked at the slowly rising red spirit not far away.

But this time, Hong Ling seemed different from the previous two times. There was less spirit in his eyes, and he looked like some kind of puppet.

There was no communication, no other action, the moment it appeared, it attacked him directly.

And after getting close enough, she jumped up, with her knife-holding hand backward, and then—

——Water birds are dancing wildly.

"Hey, flying boat!"

How come all the skills of Sekiro are here?

But unfortunately, although the skills look powerful, the damage is really not that good, and the NPC module does not have resilience yet.

Taking advantage of the gap between her skills, Lord rushed forward with a combat skill and then returned.

Bloodstains erupted, hitting in four stages.

As the blood exploded, only one piece of the red spirit's health bar was left in front of him. Then Lord repeated a forward charge skill, and the health bar was directly cleared to zero.

Then, after Lord defeated the red spirit and received the rune as a reward for defeating her, her spirit did not disappear.

After falling to the ground, the red, shell-like spirit body began to glow with golden light.

But it is not the gold of the Golden Rule, but the gold that is closer to the furnace, but without flames and rhythm.

To make an analogy, it is like the golden color in the wheat fields during the autumn harvest.

Lord's eyes widened.

There really is a red spirit with a second tube of blood.

With this in mind, he cut directly into the large size, with a rather fat piece of clothing on his body, a slave turban on his head, and a small sickle in his hand, which he also enchanted.

However, the battle did not take place.

Because after opening his eyes, the other party did not attack him. Instead, after looking around, he showed a very confused expression.

"Excuse me, where is this place?"

"Why am I here?"

Lord: “…?”

Shouldn't he ask her this?

Just as Lord was about to answer, he noticed something.

That was the scarlet, rotten cesspool beneath his feet, which transformed into a pale golden pool centered at the feet of that strange being.

And after touching the golden water source.

Lord's health began to recover continuously.

Like a blessing of abundance.

Chapter 62: Finger: I have no objection

Are invading NPCs popular these days?

Seeing that the other party did not want to fight and was able to communicate, Lord put away Elizabeth's double-headed knife and walked over to communicate with the other party.

"My name is......"

Her memory seemed to be a little fuzzy, as if she had even forgotten her own name. She thought for a long time before speaking.

"My name is Marenia, and I'm here for...what?"

Marenia? Isn't that a Valkyrie?

He was the one who released Scarlet Ionia and turned Galide into a place tainted by scarlet corruption. He was the culprit for the current situation, but...

Lord looked up and down at the figure in front of him, feeling a little confused.

"Isn't your name Millicent?"

"No, I am Marenia."

She shook her head and said seriously.

"Although I can't seem to remember anything, my name is definitely Malenia."

Lord thought for a moment and waved to Melina not far away.

"Melina, there's someone here who calls herself Marenia. Come over and take a look."

"Marenia?"

Melina walked over, looked up and down at 'Marlenya' in front of her, and her brows gradually furrowed.

"she......"

Melina didn't know how to describe it.

Of course Melina knew Malenia and had seen her.

But what should she say about this Marenia who appeared before her now...

If you say she is Malenia, Melina will be the first one not to believe it.

After all, whether it was the long golden hair or the healing power surrounding her body, it was completely inconsistent with her impression of Malenia.

But if you say she is not, her face does look like Malenia, and although the power in her body is not right, it gives Melina a sense of familiarity unique to Malenia.

And that power...

After a moment, Melina realized something and frowned.

"Michaela?"

The strange Marenya was stunned.

"Mikaela? Such a familiar name, but... I'm not him, no, brother..."

After communicating for quite a while, Melina still couldn't get any useful information from the other party.

The other person seemed to only remember that her name was Malenia. Apart from reacting a little to the name Michaela and calling him brother, she knew nothing else.

"I can't quite tell the difference, but let's take her with us. We have to change her name, though."
