I, Hierophant Elden, join the chat group

Lani was silent for a long time and sighed slowly.

"....Alas, my king, that matter should not be mentioned. The relationship is complicated. Even as a party involved, I can't explain it clearly in one or two sentences."

"I can only tell you that Michaela was indeed involved that night."

After hearing this, the others were full of confusion on their faces. They didn't understand what the two of them were talking about.

Lance Sanx, who was the most straightforward, even asked directly: "What are you talking about? Why can't I understand it at all?"

Lani just glanced at the female dragon and didn't respond.

Among the people present, only Su Feng knew it clearly.

He could already guess the truth of the Black Knife Night that Lani tried to hide.

Since Lani has admitted that Michaela existed in the Black Knife Night, the truth has almost surfaced.

Godwin's death can be said to be the result of many factors.

The Black Knife Night should have been planned by Two Fingers and Michaela, and Rani and Lakkad were just one of the links, not even the mastermind.

And it is likely that Michaela and Two Fingers should have reached some kind of agreement.

For example, Michaela promised Two Fingers that she would make the king who was combined with her into a tool man who obeyed her orders.

After all, Michaela inherited Marika's talent for spirit tuning and the unique ability to charm.

It is not easy to do this.

Among the demigods of the Golden Dynasty, there are only two who are capable and qualified to become the King of Elden.

One is Godwin, the eldest son with the name of [Gold], and the other is [Star Crusher General] Latan who guards the border.

It is estimated that Michaela first charmed the Black Knife as an assassination tool, and then wanted to split the destined death into two through the demigods of Kalia's relatives, Rani and Lakkad, and inject the part that killed the body into the Black Knife.

Thus, he killed Godwin, then controlled and kneaded his soul into the shape that Michaela wanted, and finally returned to the world as Michaela's king.

In order to conceal his purpose and the truth, he also used the black knife to assassinate many royal members of Rodel to create a false impression.

But he never thought that Lani would turn against him halfway and inject the part that killed the soul into the black knife.

The remaining part that killed the body was hidden by Lani and used on herself.

In the end, the plan of the two fingers and Michaela was in vain.

Otherwise, why did the old woman who was untied at the root of the golden tree cry that Godwin should have died from the destined death, not the existence of the dead birth.

And why did Michaela use the fading sun in Sol City to call back the soul of the soulless demigod.

And why did Michaela say in front of the tombstone that she hoped Godwin would die correctly.

But Su Feng still lacked a piece of the puzzle in his hand before all the truth.

That is, the destined death flowed out from Malikus's hands.

[Black Sword] Malikus is not only the beast priest who guards the destined death, but also the shadow beast of Marica.

Did Marica steal it from Malikus?

There is no such possibility.

No matter who it is, Marica is a kind and gentle god. Although she is cruel to the outside world, she is very doting on her offspring, so it is impossible for her to do such a thing as harming her own son.

As for letting Godwin's death complete the Golden Law, it is even more impossible.

The Golden Law has been flawless from the beginning.

Life and death are orderly, and the Golden Law and the Golden Tree have always been able to do this.

And the destined death is an abnormal death that kills both the body and the soul, so it was rejected.

As for the double-finger ordering Malikus to hand over the destined death, it is even more impossible, otherwise the word stolen would not be used, and Malikus would not have to fall into the regret of not guarding the destined death well.

However, in addition to this, Su Feng thought of a guy.

Although Black Knife Night never mentioned his name, this person is the biggest beneficiary to some extent.

And this person is, Marica's half -

Radagan.

If he is Marica's half, it is not surprising that he can steal a part of the destined death from Malicus, just like he once stole the law of the Scarlet Corruption Goddess in the Grand Corridor.

But Su Feng has no evidence to prove this.

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

"Your Highness, La Ni, welcome to the Holy Tree."

A crisp and hearty female voice echoed in the reception room.

The woman in military uniform in front of him is Loretta, the [Holy Tree Knight] who once served the Kalia royal family and now joined the Holy Tree.

They are now in a reception room of the Holy Tree branch - Abrefil.

The so-called Holy Tree is a big tree that Michaela once watered with her own blood and grew up.

Once the sapling watered with the blood of the gods grows up, it is not difficult to imagine that it can definitely abolish the Golden Tree.

The sacred tree is also very tolerant of the creatures in the border area.

Sons of Platinum, hybrids, Miranda, humans, etc., almost all creatures except the sons of evil omen can survive here.

It is like a utopia for the creatures in the border area.

Once, even the oracle messenger appeared here, staying on the thick branches and playing the sound of nature, heralding the arrival of a new era.

It's a pity that all of this is just a pipe dream that the twins prayed for.

Using the Holy Tree to replace the Golden Tree is as far-fetched as a dream, and during the Shattered War, the Holy Tree, which had not yet grown, was attacked by the Blood King, and Michaela, the nutrient and core, was stolen, so the Holy Tree gradually withered.

In addition, the scarlet corruption in Marlenia's body leaked out recklessly, causing the Holy Tree to be in danger now. It was completely stained and almost became a new seedbed for scarlet corruption.

The scarlet corruption like a lake rushed in the lower half of the Holy Tree, and even gave birth to many monsters.

As the saying goes, the Holy Tree stage, you have the courage to come.

However, this time Su Feng did not encounter too much hostility when he stepped into this land.

Perhaps because of Lani's personal companionship, and because of Millicent, not only did he not suffer any attacks, but he was also warmly received.

Except for a few blind hybrids.

Those hybrids have paid the price of their lives and become runes.

"I wonder what brings you to the Holy Tree this time, Princess Rani?"

Seeing the living Princess Kalia appear in front of her, Loretta was not surprised at all.

Although she had left Kalia long ago, she left a clone in the royal moon-watching place to help the declining Kalia royal family guard the fortress.

Even if that clone only had the instinct to attack, she could still understand the situation in Kalia through it.

But she was more curious, Princess Rani had always longed for freedom, and now that she had defeated the two fingers, why did she visit the Holy Tree?

Loretta guessed a possibility, so she said apologetically:

"If you are here to see Lady Michaela, Your Highness, I'm afraid you will be disappointed... Michaela was taken away by thieves countless years ago, and there is no news of her until now. Now only Lady Marenia is left to guard the Holy Tree, waiting for Lady Michaela's return..."

"...I know."

Lani interrupted Loretta's words, and then looked at Su Feng, "This visit is mainly because my king wants to come here."

"You mean...Lord Su Feng?"

Loretta looked at Su Feng with a little surprise and asked, "What are you doing at the Holy Tree?"

Although she used the same honorific for Su Feng, her tone was obviously different from that of Lani.

There was a hint of disgust.

It was not directed at Su Feng himself, but at the identity of the Faded One.

As we all know, the reputation of the Faded Ones in the border area is not good. They are called plunderers by various forces. Now the most powerful one among these plunderers has come to the pure land of the Holy Tree.

Even if the other party is Princess Kalia's partner and the next king's husband, as a Holy Tree Knight, Loretta has to be on guard.

But because of Lani's face, it is not easy to get angry.

Su Feng doesn't care about this lukewarm attitude at all, or he has long been accustomed to it. As long as they don't draw their swords, he will have the patience to chat with the other party.

So, he said bluntly: "I want to visit [Valkyrie] Marlennia and bring someone to see her."

Ta-da.

As the voice fell, a faint sound of footsteps sounded behind Su Feng.

Loretta looked away, looked behind him, and stood up immediately, with an incredible look in her eyes.

The bright red holy tree cape fluttered slightly with her steps, the fiery red hair, the golden flying wing helmet, the gilded prosthetic hand and the holy blade embedded in the prosthetic hand.

All of this made Loretta feel so familiar, but all of this should not appear on this girl.

That is not what this girl should have.

"Who are you? Why are you pretending to be Lady Marlennia?!"

Loretta's questioning voice faintly echoed in the silent reception room.

Not only her, on the way here, when those noble knights saw Millicent, they all looked like they had seen a ghost and almost knelt down to her.

If Loretta and the Platinum Son who was responsible for guarding the ceremonial town hadn't said that there was a distinguished guest from Kalia visiting, they would have stopped Millicent and planned to ask what was going on.

"My name is Millicent."

Faced with Loretta's questioning, Millicent replied calmly: "I came to the Holy Tree in the hope of finding the [Valkyrie] Marlene and completing my mission."

After she finished speaking, Su Feng took over the conversation and said: "That's it, and according to my information, the Holy Tree should have had four girls like Millicent."

Millicent:?

The girl looked at him in confusion.

And he looked at Loretta, and after a moment Loretta seemed to remember something and murmured: "Millicent... Mission... Four sisters... Is she the same as those four sisters?"

Not long ago, there were several girls like them who came to the Holy Tree to look for Marlene.

Eldest sister Mary, second sister Jasmine, third sister Amy, youngest sister Pollyanna, they called themselves this, and they all said that they had some connection with Marlene.

And they have impressive strength.

And they went to the lower level of the Holy Tree alone to look for Marlene.

Even if the Holy Tree Knights and the Honored Corruption Knights wanted to stop them, they were completely unable to do so. They were no match for them.

Moreover, after going to the lower level of the Holy Tree, the girls completely disappeared, lost contact, and never came back.

They had no way to find them either.

Because the scarlet corruption in the lower layer of the holy tree has reached a certain level, even the Corruption Knight cannot get close, let alone a tree spirit that has been eroded by corruption crawling underneath.

Could it be that there is some kind of connection between the girl who calls herself Millicent and the four sisters?

Just when Loretta cast a confused look, Su Feng had already turned his head and looked at Millicent.

"Yes, the girls Ms. Loretta mentioned just now are your sisters."

PS: I feel a little uncomfortable. I lay down all day and just got up and coded a chapter.

Volume 1: Chapter 130 The noble Valkyrie, the blade of the faded one

The clear light is shining in the night, and the full moon shines silently.

Branches of the sacred tree Abrefil.

Su Feng sat on a thick tree trunk and looked at the Royal City of Rodel on the Yatan Plateau and the towering golden tree.

Listen to the sound of waves rising and falling in your ears.

Below, Loretta was directing the knights and soldiers of the Holy Tree to assemble, busy resisting the attack of the scarlet and corrupt Zerg from below. No one could spare time to receive their group of uninvited guests.

This is now the daily routine of the Holy Tree. Starting from dusk every day, scarlet corruption will continue to spread.

Even at the top of the tree canopy, strange mushrooms born from corruption can be seen everywhere.

It is estimated that if Marlenia's scarlet corruption can no longer be suppressed, the entire holy tree will turn into a tree of corruption.
