Beginning as King of Elden

Chapter 151 Flowing Sword Technique?

Looking at Torret, the knight didn't know what to say for a moment.

After all, sharing a ride with someone of the opposite sex you just met...

Unexpectedly, it was Millicent who took the initiative to caress the spirit horse nestled beside Li Lin and asked him.

"It seems to have human emotions in its eyes."

"Is this the partner who has been following you?"

"...Well." Li Lin lowered his head and looked at Torret who was staring at him, "He is my most trusted partner."

"How is your body?"

The scarlet corruption in her body has been completely suppressed, and the state of the knight in front of her when they met before made Millicent worried.

"I'm okay……"

perhaps.

The negative effect of scarlet corruption in his body is not the same as that of Millicent. Relatively speaking, the manifestation of his corruption disease is closer to General Broken Star's kind of lost consciousness, and even the type that uses corpses as food is similar, but Not exactly the same.

In terms of physical function, scarlet corruption doesn't have too much of an impact on him, if he completely relaxes his restraint, he can even erupt with even stronger power.

Seeing the reluctance in the knight's smile, Millicent got Torret's permission, got on the horse, and stretched out his left hand towards him.

The knight showed a somewhat embarrassed expression, and caught the hand extended by the red-haired girl.

--------

"I don't think I've ever been so far away."

Sitting in front of the knight, looking at the vast forest of Ningmgfu and many huge trees more than ten meters high, Millicent said with emotion.

"Have you always lived near the Ionian swamps in Galede?"

"Well... probably so, I don't remember exactly."

Although she said something that seemed sad, the red-haired girl looked bright when she saw the lively scene around her.

"Do you want to know about this?"

Millicent turned her head somewhat unexpectedly and faced the knight behind her, whose face still looked gentle despite the red spots on his face.

"Ah."

She nodded.

Along the way, although the needle was pulled out, Li Lin's condition was still good for the time being.

He cheered up and introduced to Millicon the various places in Nimgof that they passed by.

Coastal Cave, Weeping Peninsula, Stonewell City...

On a long journey, he told the girl who lost her memory the story of him helping the father and daughter of the city lord, meeting Burke, defeating the ominous ghost, and killing the limb-grabbing king.

"It's been a long and thrilling journey..."

Sitting next to the blessed flame together, Millicent said with a longing look.

"That's right... Actually, it's only been a little more than a year since we started from the abandoned church in Ningmgfu."

The knight looked far away.

"But it seems like a long, long time..."

"Thank you for being willing to tell me this." Millicent looked at the knight. "I was always ignorant before, and no one would tell me these stories about the outside world."

"Without you, I would probably only think about finding my own destiny."

The girl looked at the sky exposed in the broken dome of the ruins.

"I don't know why, since the moment I first met you, I have had the illusion that I am very familiar with you."

...does she feel the same way?

Li Lin laughed.

What a coincidence, probably because of that waterfowl-like posture, he actually felt the same way.

Apart from the grace of saving her life and the self-esteem of the knight, this was also one of the reasons why he, who was not considered a good person, was willing to insert the life-saving golden needle into her body.

He doesn't believe in fate.

But at this moment, he was willing to believe that it was some kind of established fate that allowed the two to meet in this way.

Although they are also suffering from a terrible curse, at least the present friendship is pleasant.

"I will help you accomplish what you want to do, but if you can't control the corruption in your body, please tell me immediately, and I will insert the golden needle back into your body."

"...There won't be that time." Li Lin said, "As long as I don't fight, the corruption in my body doesn't seem to deteriorate quickly. You are very strong, and my teacher is also a knowledgeable and powerful magician. I will hold on until I find the Chaos Flame."

"I believe you."

The girl said so.

The knight laughed from the bottom of his heart.

Physiology and psychology are constantly influencing each other.

Under such special circumstances, he also seemed to become a little sentimental.

As night fell, feeling the blessing and the warmth from the girl beside him, the knight was exhausted from fighting against corruption endlessly. He leaned against the stone wall and fell into a deep sleep.

Looking at the sleeping face of the knight, who was still exuding a dangerous charm even though half of his face was covered by red spots, Millicent shook the handle of the scimitar in his hand, and stood silently in front of the church door.

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

Her strength is indeed very strong.

Facing the attack of the giant bear in the forest, the girl, who looked very petite compared to it, easily dealt with the giant beast.

Even though she only used a sophisticated scimitar, her swordsmanship was very similar to Li Lin's Flowing Water Sword Skill, and it seemed to be based on [Flowing Water], and the momentum of the sword was continuous.

That kind of waterfowl-like swordsmanship is a superb swordsmanship based on "dexterously and quickly rotating the body, and continuously sending out large-scale roundabout slashes".

No... This is simply flowing water swordsmanship.

The last time I saw her fighting was in the illusion that the world was upside down. This time, Li Lin could really see Millicent's fighting posture clearly.

"Your swordsmanship...is it a flowing sword?"

The knight couldn't help asking.

"Flowing Water Sword...a very familiar name." Millicent said, "This is a sword skill I have figured out on my own, as if I was born to use a sword like this. I don't know why, sorry."

"...I see. You don't have to be sorry, my question is too presumptuous."

Is it the effect of corruption disease?She doesn't even remember who taught her swordsmanship.

He had traveled the road from Gaylid to the Academy of Magic several times. Except for this accidental encounter with a giant bear in the forest, the two on the fast horse had never even had a fight.

After walking out of the forest, they were about to enter Stonewell City.

After collaborating with Nefeli to kill the grafted Golden King, the town fell into complete disorder.

There are fewer soldiers to be seen in the city, and they are often not organized.

——Of course, this is also related to his unrestrained killing at that time.

But this time when he came here, Li Lin unexpectedly saw the breath of war again.

There are relatively new signs of destruction at the entrance of the city, and on the roads on both sides, there are soldiers from Stonewell City who died not long ago.

Are there any other faders here?
I just hope there will be no new battles with him...

Although Millicent's sword skills are strong, she seems to lack combat experience.
