A foreigner's journey

Clang!

The blade and the halberd collided, and fierce sparks burst out.

The red-haired female swordsman Millicent wielded the flowing water sword, and her posture was as light and agile as a female leopard. She was fighting with a female knight wearing luxurious silver full-covered armor. She kept waving her halberd at Millicent, but she couldn't break through the opponent's defense circle.

The huge Holy Tree Terrace Square became a battlefield for the two to fight, and the sound of swords clashing continued.

The Maids of the Night stood not far away, watching the duel.

"Miss Millicent's strength has improved again. She is really gifted."

The chief nun Winona looked at the thrilling swordplay and sighed:

"At the beginning, she was just like an ordinary maid of night, but now she has surpassed you and me in combat power.

This talent is just like a demigod of the golden lineage."

The chief swordsman Annoya put his hand on his chin and squinted his eyes to observe Millicent's movements: "Her movements are skillful and smooth. The swordsmanship she originally used is similar to the flowing swordsmanship of the Maid of Night. They are simply from the same school. I have trained her a little bit these days, and now she has embarked on a different swordsmanship path from the original Valkyrie Marenia.

Besides, our lord loves Miss Millicent very much and taught her to learn [Haki] and [Zanpakutō]. Now even if Miss Millicent meets the Valkyrie Marenia, it is hard to say who will win or lose."

It has been nearly half a month since Annoya and Millicent embarked on the journey to cross the Holy Snow Plain together.

Perhaps the map in the game does not show how huge the Holy Snowfield is, but it is obviously much more troublesome to measure this ancient ice field that has existed since ancient times with your feet.

Moreover, the monsters, zombies, beasts and even flying dragons that can be seen everywhere will attack travelers. Millicent can be said to have killed all the way through the Holy Snowfield with the flowing water sword in her hand. During the period, other night maids joined them and headed towards the northernmost part of the Holy Snowfield.

During the trip, Annoya discovered that the flowing water swordsmanship used by Millicent from the Valkyrie seemed to be from the same school as the swordsmanship of the people of Knox.

It is rumored that the Valkyrie was corroded by the scarlet corruption when she was young, and she could not see and her arms were mutilated. She was depressed because of this and met a blind swordsman. This blind swordsman was extremely powerful and even sealed the goddess of corruption in the Corruption Lake. Out of pity and love for Marlenia's talent, this powerful swordsman decided to pass his flowing water swordsmanship to Marlenia.

He told Marlenya that his flowing sword was not his own creation, but was taught to him by a fairy who called herself "Blue Dancer".

Now think about it, Annoya thought that the blue dancer should be a Knox people who practiced the flowing swordsmanship, because their blood was cold, their skin was dull, and they liked to wear cold-colored clothes, so it was not surprising that they were mistaken for fairies by the blind swordsman.

Since they had the same origin, Annoya could use the authentic Eternal City flowing swordsmanship to teach Millicent, whose swordsmanship grew rapidly under the guidance of a famous teacher and the "tutorial" of a large number of miscellaneous soldiers.

In this way, the group finally arrived at Yidian Town in the north of Huasheng Snowfield.

In the mysterious and strange Yidian Town, they found the secret to the Holy Tree and arrived at the Holy Tree through the ancient teleportation array. Then, a knight named Loretta, who called herself the "Holy Tree Guardian", stood in front of everyone and prevented them from going deeper into the Holy Tree.

One side must advance, the other side defends to the death. This helpless and unavoidable battle unfolds in the Holy Tree Square.

Originally, Loretta was ready to fight the entire Night Maids and Millicent at the same time, but Millicent rarely asked the Night Maids not to take action. She wanted to fight the determined Holy Tree Knight one-on-one in a fair battle.

Loretta couldn't believe her ears. The border has been mired in darkness for a thousand years. Warriors like Millicent who have [dignity] and [grace] are extremely rare.

She respects people like Millicent and decides to fight the other side in an upright manner.

And now, the two warring parties are about to decide the winner.

Millicent turned over and jumped up to avoid the large-scale long halberd sweep of the Holy Tree Knight Loretta. She was in mid-air and had no way to avoid it.

Seeing this, Loretta immediately threw away the long halberd and condensed her unique Kalia magic in her hand-[Loretta's Longbow].

A huge azure longbow gathered in her hand, and three huge arrows also formed by magic were ready to be fired as the bowstring was pulled.

The next moment, three arrows shot towards Millicent in the air.

At this critical moment, Millicent, who had no way to avoid it, stepped on the air and made a slight explosion sound. She used the empty sky as a stepping stone to reflect the sharp movement trajectory like lightning, and lightly avoided the three arrows in succession. The whole person rushed towards Loretta below with the momentum of the forward rush.

Loretta, who had no time to change her moves, was hit hard in the chest by the flowing water sword. The magic armor inherited from the royal family of Kalia was immediately shattered, and blood gushed out.

Plop! She fell from the armored warhorse that was also fully armed and fell heavily to the ground.

"...What an unparalleled swordsmanship."

The helmet fell off, revealing Loretta's cold and resolute female face. She covered her chest, which was constantly bleeding, and watched Millicent slowly walking towards her with a sword. Her expression suddenly became relaxed:

"Okay, if it's you... please take off my head."

Millicent walked up to Loretta, but did not immediately swing her sword to chop off her head. Instead, she tilted her head slightly:

"I have a question. You were originally the captain of the royal guards of the Kalia royal family. Why did you come to Michaela's sacred tree and choose to be the guard here?"

Loretta coughed up a mouthful of blood and said slowly:

"Her Majesty the Queen has treated me well. I should have continued to stay in Kalia Castle to guard the viewing platform and the last legacy of the Kalia royal family.

But I want to find a way out for my best friend's clan, the 'Sons of Platinum Clan'. Only Michaela's sacred tree can accommodate all the alien freaks who are not accepted by the world. The Sons of Platinum will either become the minions and puppets of the blood king, or live on the sacred tree in secret. I think the final result is not difficult. Choice.

But as I said before, the Queen of the Full Moon treated me very kindly. I was born in a humble family and was able to learn skills and become the Knight Commander of the Royal Guards, thanks to the kindness of Her Majesty the Queen.

So I left a phantom that gathered my strength to continue to guard the Kalia Castle.

Not long ago, I felt that the phantom was defeated. After a thousand years, someone finally broke into the Moon Viewing Platform and ended the future of the last Knight of the Royal Guards.

In any case, for the sake of the Platinum Sons who live in the Holy Tree, I must do my best to fulfill my last mission - guarding the Holy Tree.

You are a worthy opponent, Millicent. It is my honor to die under your sword. "

As she said, she closed her eyes and waited for the moment of the end.

But what she got was a hand extended to her, and a gentle voice:

"Please don't give up your life easily. If you can, please go forward with me.

I hope you can see what you are protecting and the final outcome of the Holy Tree."

Loretta couldn't help but open her eyes and looked at the figure carrying the glory of the Holy Tree. She seemed to see the high-spirited and invincible Valkyrie thousands of years ago, but if she looked closely, she was not the same person at all.

Suddenly, a long-lost belief surged in her heart, and she wanted to follow this person, witness this person's future and the road to becoming a king.

If this is this person, if this person can become the King of Elden...

Loretta reached out and held Millicent's outstretched palm tightly.

"Anyway, please allow me to see the end."
