Along with the distorted lavender light and shadow in the space, Xia Yu's figure slowly emerged.
The seal to the Holy Tree of Michaela has been unlocked. Without the obstacles of the Platinum Son and the invisible black knife, it is almost effortless to light four candles with magic power.
Before leaving, he took back the black knives, leaving only their souls without entities, which made them much easier to carry.
When you become the King of Elden in the future, you can try to resurrect the black knives. As a king, how can you not have your own guards?
While thinking about it, Xia Yu walked towards the portal behind Ritual Town.
Xia Yu, the incarnation of the Son of Platinum who helped Letina, didn't think about taking it back now, because the Son of Platinum in Ritual Town is also a force.
If possible, he would like to try to recruit these platinum sons through Letina.
…
Seal the door.
Millicent was clasping her hands in prayer, praying that Xia Yu could return safely.
Hearing the footsteps approaching from far away, she hurriedly opened her eyes and saw that it was Xia Yu who had returned safely, and she couldn't help but feel relieved.
Although she didn't know what was going on inside the sealed prison, the process must have been extremely dangerous.
After all, those sealed in the seal prison are extremely dangerous people, let alone such multiple seals.
"Are you okay?"
Millicent stepped forward quickly and asked worriedly.
Xia Yu shook his head, stretched out his hand to pull Millicent, then pointed to the portal at the end and said: "I'm fine, but...are you ready?"
Behind the portal is Michaela's holy tree, and Marlenia is at the root of the holy tree.
That is also the source of Millicent's fate. According to the process in the game, Millicent will die on the way to the roots of the sacred tree, next to a scarlet pool of corruption.
Regardless of whether the player chooses to help Millicent or kill Millicent, Millicent will wither next to the corruption pool.
The difference is that if the player kills Millicent, Millicent will turn into a flower of corruption and bloom. If the player helps Millicent, Millicent can die with her own dignity.
Old thief Miyazaki, you have no heart!
"What's wrong? Are you frowning so deeply?"
Just when Xia Yu was beating up the old thief Miyazaki in his heart, Millicent suddenly asked.
After asking, she held Xia Yu's hand tightly and said seriously: "Don't worry, I won't back down. Even if my fate is bad, I will keep going."
After finishing speaking, she took Xia Yu and walked towards the portal first, but her unwavering pace made Xia Yu stunned for a moment.
After he came to his senses, Xia Yu laughed and shook his head, but he was worrying too much.
Whether in games or in reality, Millicent has never been a woman who retreats easily. She is a persevering flower who would rather commit suicide than bloom.
Why should he worry about such a dazzling existence?
As the two people touched, the space near the portal began to twist and dim, and the dark space enveloped the two people. When the space was restored, the two people had disappeared.
Holy tree crown.
As the surrounding space shattered, two figures emerged out of thin air.
"This teleportation is really simple and crude."
After regaining his vision, Xia Yu felt the calming space fluctuations and couldn't help but complain.
Although his spatial attainments are not very high, he can still feel that the teleportation gate at the junction has almost no skills and is just a rough teleportation.
It is exactly the same as the teleportation trap that is designed to deceive people, except that the teleportation door is not covered by the trap smoke.
Millicent, who regained her vision next to her, first looked around the crown of the sacred tree, then stretched out her hand and pressed her chest and said, "I feel it. I am closer to Marlenia."
Just looking around, the throbbing in her heart reappeared, and even the memories that had been blurred became much clearer.
That was the memory of practicing the water bird flurry, the memory of her practicing the flowing water sword technique in order to suppress the scarlet corruption. It was both her memory and Malenia's memory.
After recalling that part of the memory, Millicent exhaled and looked at Xia Yu again: "Then let's go."
"Well...wait for me first."
Xia Yu shook his head, carefully looked at everything around the crown of the sacred tree, and said bitterly: "I will take revenge first, and I will be fine soon."
"revenge?"
"Yes, revenge!"
Xia Yu gritted his teeth and replied that only he understood what the so-called revenge meant.
[Elden's Ring]: Live broadcast of the Holy Tree's revenge. If you want to watch it, come quickly.
[Dimensional communication]: What? The holy tree takes revenge! Come right away!
[Clash of Clans]: Hurry up, I want to see rivers of blood!
[Dark Souls 3]: Hurry up, I want to see a river of blood!
[Sekiro]: Hurry up...
…
I remember when they played Elden's Circle, they just came to the map of Holy Tree, and almost every three steps would cause one to be injured, and five steps would cause one to die.
Putting aside the terrain where it was extremely easy to fall to death, just talking about the disgusting oracle messengers was enough to make Xia Yu feel a surge of unknown anger in their hearts.
How could you not repay the humiliation and pain you suffered in the game now?
If he doesn't kill all the oracle messengers here, he won't be able to make sense.
Among all the oracle messengers of the big, medium and small numbers, the one he hated the most was the big messenger, that is, the messenger with the fan-shaped flute.
As soon as he played the flute, there would be a bunch of bubbles, and he would definitely die if he was hit. Moreover, he stood tall and had thick blood, which made him almost sick to death.
Not to mention, there is the fan-shaped flute that is extremely difficult to drop...
"Oh, a handful of bitter tears."
Xia Yu wiped his face and suppressed his ferocious expression. He was here for revenge, not suffering.
After taking a look at the oracle messengers who seemed to have not noticed them, as well as the corrupt ants below, Xia Yu's hands suddenly appeared with sticky black mud, and then he slapped his palm on the tree crown at his feet.
The sticky black mud merged into the tree crown in an instant, and without Michaela's holy tree, it was just an empty shell now.
What's more, the holy tree has already been eroded by scarlet corruption, as evidenced by the plant moss that is exactly the same as Galid.
As the black mud blended in, black lines appeared on the crown of the sacred tree, and small pink-white flowers grew between the branches.
Next to the nearest oracle messengers, black arms suddenly stretched out.
Before the oracle messengers could react, those black arms suddenly grabbed them and dragged them into the dark abyss below.
These represent new gods, or little things that are about to emerge in a new era. They have no power to resist in the face of the boundless darkness.
Xia Yu, who silently injected darkness into the holy tree, thought to himself that according to the world view of Elden's Circle, every power has its own laws.
The stars have their own laws of stars, and the golden trees have their own golden laws. So darkness must have its own dark laws.
Later, he and Lani can go searching in the starry sky. The law of darkness suits him very well as soon as he hears it.
Dark currents surged on the tree crown, and twisted black arms stretched out, dragging all the creatures on the tree crown.
The sudden scene shocked the oracle messengers, and they hurriedly wanted to blow their flutes to stop these darkness with sacred bubbles.
But before they could blow their flutes, the black arms formed a tsunami-like wave of darkness, sucking all the oracle messengers into it.
There were no screams for mercy or other sounds. Under the sweeping wave of darkness, the tree canopy was completely empty.
"Is it my imagination?"
Xia Yu looked at the crown of the holy tree that had been soaked in black lines. He couldn't help scratching his head and said to himself: "I always feel that the power of darkness is particularly suitable for me. This is obviously the first time I use it."
Millicent, who was standing behind Xia Yu, had a face full of astonishment. She looked at the black arms dangling. After subconsciously... she couldn't retreat. Behind her was the bottomless void.
Michaela's holy tree grows in the void outside the junction. If it falls, it will cause death.
Of course, because of the protection of the sacred tree, it is almost impossible to slip and fall to death, except for the faded people who have no human rights.
"Xia Yu, you..."
Millicent opened her mouth, not knowing what to say. She just felt like she was meeting the other person for the first time.
Hearing Millicent's voice, Xia Yu took back his hand and stood up, with an innocent expression on his face: "What's wrong?"
"you……"
Millicent wanted to ask what was going on in the scene in front of her. But the next moment, she was surprised to find that the black arm disappeared.
Not only that, even the black lines gradually faded away, leaving only the pink and white flowers dancing in the wind.
Everything seemed like a phantom. If the oracle messengers hadn't really disappeared and the pink and white flowers were there as evidence, Millicent would have almost thought she was hallucinating.
"nothing."
After being stunned for a few seconds, Millicent came back to her senses and shook her head. Although the scene just now was very ominous, since it was used by Xia Yu, there was no problem.
There is no good or bad power, power can only be used by people.
"Okay, let's keep going."
Seeing that Millicent did not treat the power he had just used in a different way, Xia Yu smiled, put his arms around Millicent's waist, spread his wings behind his back, and fluttered away from here.
Not only did he just want revenge, he also had the idea of using darkness to corrode the holy tree.
This is Michaela's sacred tree, but Michaela is no longer in the sacred tree at this time. He was secretly stolen by Blood King Monger during the Broken War.
Therefore, without an owner, the sacred tree will be eroded by the scarlet corruption.
Scarlet Corruption can corrode, so can its darkness, but this is the crown of the Holy Tree, and the infection efficiency from here is too low.
If you want to completely turn Michaela's holy tree into Xia Yu's holy tree, you must start from the source, that is, start the infection and change from the roots of the holy tree.
Therefore, there is one more reason to go to the roots of the sacred tree.
As for why he wants to corrode the sacred tree, who would think that he has too much power?
This is Michaela's preparation for her pure golden law, and the power that can become the law is a powerful force.
Although the pure gold is not mature yet, and the sacred tree here is just a starting point, but...it was picked up anyway, so don't give it up for free.
Since Michaela is not here, let him be a virtuous person.
After leaving the tree canopy, the area below is full of white houses, and in these houses, there are a lot of demihumans living.
Demi-humans are also a race in the border area. They have a low status, ugly appearance and low sanity. Therefore, in the border area, demi-humans exist as slaves.
In the Moen City of Ningmu Gefu, there was a demi-human slave riot. When Xia Yu was wandering around to improve his strength, he helped the lord of Moen City solve this problem, and by the way, he also saved the lord's daughter Yi Lei.
Na's life.
Because Michaela's sacred tree accepts all life equally, the demi-humans who were treated as slaves in the border area can live here safely.
Even though corruption is everywhere here, the demihumans have no intention of leaving.
However, because of the widespread corruption, there are still fungus-infected fungi here. These fungi move slowly and spray fungus from their mouths.
It usually hides in the dark like a bryophyte. If it encounters a living person, it will roar and rush forward, trying to infect the living person into a fungus.
But because he moves slowly, it is easy to evade the attack.
In addition, there is also a spirit-calling snail hiding in the corner that can summon spirits, which is the sixth oldest creature.
These old six creatures can summon spirits to attack the enemy, while they hide aside and watch the show. They are as despicable as some faded ones.
Because Xia Yu was killed by the crystallized human spirit bodies summoned by these soul-summoning snails, these soul-summoning snails were dragged into the dark abyss by the sudden appearance of black arms before they knew what happened.
At the end of the canopy of the Holy Tree is the famous Holy Tree Stage. Youdao is the Holy Tree Stage. If you are destined, you can come. This is enough to show the danger of the Holy Tree Stage.
The noble knight Loretta is stationed on the stage of the Holy Tree. It was Loretta who led those races that were not favored by the border areas to the Holy Snowfield and the Holy Tree.
As a knight guarding the Holy Tree, Loretta obviously failed, because Xia Yudu brought Millicent to the Holy Tree Prayer Room, and she didn't even know it yet.
Xia Yu, the respected knight along the way, did not take action. After all, these soldiers no longer posed a threat to him.
He is not the kind of protagonist who kills his entire family at every turn. As long as someone doesn't attack him, he won't kill them out of boredom.
Unless there is a grudge, such as the oracle messengers and the spirit-calling snail.
In the city of Abrefil, a branch of the holy tree, there are two incarnations of the golden tree wandering. They are sacred in themselves, but at this moment they are eroded by scarlet corruption.
Every time you move around, scarlet and rotten mycelium will erupt, and there are Holy Tree Knights guarding the surrounding area.
Of course, the incarnation of the golden tree was also dragged into the darkness by Xia Yu, just like the five royal ghosts in the underground area.
This thing is more ferocious than Greg, who can only be a younger brother in front of the royal ghost, a younger brother within a younger brother.
Finally, Xia Yu, taking Millicent with him, finally flew to his destination, which was the rotten interior of the city of Abrefield, a branch of the Holy Tree.
It is filled with unknown scarlet corruption, and the stronger the smell of scarlet corruption, the closer it is to Marlenia's location.
Inside the heart of the rotting holy tree, the rich scarlet corruption turned into a muddy waterfall and poured down.
And in this mire, there are larvae of the Corruption Familiar. Even though these bugs have been abandoned by the Corruption Goddess, they still move towards the scarlet corruption unconsciously.
…
"Tsk, that's really disgusting."
Looking at the scarlet Corruption Waterfall and Corruption Pool below, Xia Yu looked disgusted. He remembered that there was a Corruption Tree Spirit in the Corruption Pool.
After placing Millicent on the bank aside, Xia Yu flexed his muscles and said, "Wait for me, I will destroy this corruption pool."
"Well, I'll wait for you."
Millicent nodded. Seeing this, Xia Yu fluttered his wings and plunged into the corruption pool. He wanted to completely erode the corrupt tree spirit and the entire corruption pool.
Let Scarlet Corruption see who defiled whom!
Seeing Xia Yu leave, Millicent clenched Yueying in her hand. It was impossible to say she wasn't nervous at this moment. After all...she was about to see Marlenia.
Just as Millicent was recuperating on the spot, a delighted female voice suddenly sounded from behind her.
"My dear sister Millicent! You finally accepted the call of fate and came here with us!"
A long-haired woman with a white cloth covering her eyes suddenly appeared. Like Millicent, she also had red hair.
Behind her were three other women. They were dressed differently, but without exception they all had red hair.
Today I really didn't want to code, and I was almost about to ask for leave, but suddenly it occurred to me that I had already asked for leave once this month. Because I had set a rule for myself, I couldn't ask for leave more than once a month, so I failed to ask for leave.
