Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 200 Tying my hair, me?

Bai Shi helped Millicent up and then sat on a rock.

He beckoned Millicent to sit down too.

"You don't need to thank me. Your strong will does not deserve to be devoured by the scarlet corruption."

"It looks like the golden needles have worked."

"How do you feel now?"

Millicent sat down across from Bai Shi and nodded.

“Right now I feel better than ever.”

"The pain from the broken arm has subsided. The scarlet corruption no longer moves and can now move freely..."

Millicent looked at Bai Shi, a sad expression on her face.

The power of the golden needle is so strong, so what will happen to Grandpa O'Neill without the golden needle?

Bai Shi came back alone. Could it be that Grandpa O'Neill has already...

"Without the golden needle, Grandpa O'Neill..."

"How is he now?"

Bai Shi looked at Millicent and said:

"O'Neill is fine now."

Millicent was silent for a moment, then spoke again.

"really?"

"You don't have to lie to me with good intentions. I'm not a child who can't stand the sight of death."

"Is Grandpa O'Neill dead? Because there are no golden needles?"

When Bai Shi saw Millicent like this, he knew that she must have misunderstood.

"Don't worry, O'Neill won't die that easily."

"He's a veteran who's fought countless battles. He won't succumb to this bit of crimson corruption."

"I have just treated him. Although his condition is not very good, he has saved his life."

"He is resting outside the cave now. He said that he doesn't want you to see his elder in such a state of distress."

Millicent breathed a sigh of relief.

She treated O'Neal as her own family member, and it would be great if nothing happened.

"Grateful."

Bai Shi waved his hand.

"Thanks to his own strong will, otherwise there would be no chance of saving him."

"By the way, is there anything you want to do next?"

Millicent thought about it.

"I want to go to the Holy Tree."

"While in a coma, I saw Marlenya's memories and learned some of her experiences."

"So I want to go meet her."

"I want to see what kind of person this person is who has some kind of relationship with me."

Bai Shi nodded. This was the truth that Millicent had to find out.

"If you are going to the Holy Tree, you will definitely pass by Nimgfu. You can visit Stonewell then."

"Nimgefu is under my rule. You shouldn't hate it there."

Millicent smiled softly.

"Okay, thank you very much."

Bai Shi thought about it and decided to ask what Millicent meant by seeing Marlenya’s memory.
After all, it was discovered earlier that Michaela's time was a bit strange and did not match that in the game.

Since Malenia did not necessarily start the Ionian War to find her brother, there must be other reasons.

Malenia completely obeyed Michaela, and it was basically certain that it was Michaela who ordered it.

"Millicent, can you tell me what you saw while you were unconscious?"

Millicent agreed without hesitation and began to describe the scene she had seen.

Bai Shi listened carefully and asked repeatedly about some details.

The content at the beginning was quite normal and very close to the plot he knew.

But some of the subsequent parts left Bai Shi a little confused.

Michaela and LaTan seem to have a good relationship.

And they also made an agreement, which made Michaela say that she wanted to become the god of Latan.

So if that's the case, why did Michaela let Malenia go to Gaileed to fight with Latarn?

The key point is that this is not an ordinary fight.

During the Ionian War, Malenia even detonated the Scarlet Corruption that she had been suppressing, which was not normal in any way.

Also, what was the meaning of Marlenya's unconscious murmur at the end?

Is Malenia afraid that Michaela will abandon her? Or has Michaela already abandoned Malenia?

Why did this happen?

Bai Shi was puzzled.

In his impression, didn't Michaela give up the gold she was born with in order to save Malenia and try to find a way to cure Malenia using the sacred tree?

Bai Shi felt a headache after listening to Millicent's story.

Now not only have the original doubts not been answered, but things have become more and more complicated.

It's like a ball of hemp rope. Now there is no end to the thread, and it has even become more twisted.

Bai Shi exhaled.

Maybe I should look for more information from other places later to piece together the full picture of the matter.

Millicent looked at Bai Shi embarrassedly.

"Mr. Bai Shi, could you please help me tie my hair up?"

"Although this request may be a little presumptuous, I am not used to having my hair down."

"And missing an arm is really inconvenient..."

In fact, Bai Shi thought Millicent would look better with her hair down, but she said if she wanted to tie it up, she could just tie it up so that it would be easier to move around.

"Tie your hair, me?"

"Let me tell you in advance, my binding won't look good..."

Bai Shi stood up and stood behind Millicent.

He gathered Millicent's wet hair and tied it into a not-so-attractive ponytail with a rope.

There was no way. Bai Shi had never tied anyone's hair before, so naturally he didn't know how to tie it beautifully.

Melina watched Bai Shi tying Millicent's hair and suddenly felt something was wrong.

Could it be that Bai Shi actually likes ponytail hairstyle?
The same thing happened when I was taking Irena on the operation before.

It seems that he treats Irena differently from how he treats other people, a little too intimately.

Melina began to think, should she try to tie a ponytail in the future?
Not long after tying his hair, O'Neill strode into the cave.

He looked normal, as if nothing had happened.

Seeing that O'Neill was okay, Millicent stood up excitedly.

O'Neill nodded at Millicent.

Although his current condition is still not optimistic and he is only breathing his last breath, at least he did not die immediately.

Just now, Bai Shi had poured all kinds of medicine into his body and mouth without any explanation, which cleared up a lot of the scarlet corruption.

However, the problem with internal organs is still quite serious.

Many organs have begun to rely on scarlet corruption to function, and now there are some problems.

He originally wanted to die.

But Bai Shi persuaded him.

O'Neal always thought that his death was not important and that there was no meaning in living anymore.

But Bai Shi told him that someone valued his life very much.

If he died, Millicent would probably be very sad.

O'Neill accepted the advice and decided to stay alive even if it meant he had to linger on.

Looking at Millicent who was now able to move freely, O'Neill smiled at her.

"Millicent, you will leave Gallid and start your journey next."

"Just do what you want to do."

Millicent hesitated.

"Before I leave Gallid, there are still things I want to do."

"In my memory, it seems that there was an important person who raised me, but I don't remember what he looked like."

"I want to go to the area near the town of Selia first. That's where I grew up. I want to take another look."

Although Millicent has discovered something strange in her memory, she still wants to explore the truth herself.

O'Neill frowned slightly.

Bai Shi had told him before that the five sisters were picked up by disgusting bugs.

They were raised with impure intentions, to become vessels for the corrupted Valkyries.

He actually didn't want Millicent to go there, but with Millicent's personality, she would probably go there anyway.

"Then you must be careful."

"Now you don't even have the power to protect yourself."

Millicent nodded in agreement.

"Well, I will definitely be careful."

Bai Shi thought for a moment and said:

"Well, I'll take Millicent there later."

Millicent and O'Neill were both a little surprised.

"This is a bit too much trouble for you."

Bai Shi waved his hand.

"It's okay, at least this way we can ensure safety."

Millicent is now completely powerless.

Not only was the right hand holding the sword broken, but he also had no other moves to rely on.

Not to mention the other four powerful sisters who are eyeing her covetously, the corrupt followers alone can easily take down Millicent.

Not to mention that there are giant dogs and crows roaming everywhere in Gaileyd, and those things are not easy to deal with.

Millicent thought for a moment and pulled out a necklace from her bosom.

"thanks for your help."

"Please accept this as my thank you gift."

“Please don’t refuse.”

Bai Shi looked at Millicent's determined eyes.

If she didn't accept it, Millicent would definitely force herself to walk over.

Bai Shi took the necklace, on which there were two people carved.

The content of the carving is very simple, with two people standing opposite each other, each holding a knife in their hands.

This is the amulet of the prosthetic swordsman, which can enhance the wearer's dexterity.

Millicent had worn the necklace for as long as she could remember, and she knew the power it held.

Now that she could no longer wield the sword, the necklace was of no use.

Then why not give this necklace away as a small token of my gratitude?

Bai Shi accepted the necklace, but did not rush to put it on. Instead, he asked Millicent:

"Are you leaving now?"

Millicent bit her lip, finding it difficult to speak.

"I want to... clean my clothes first..."

"Since we are about to embark on this journey, I want to be as formal as possible."

"I'm afraid you'll have to wait a while."

Bai Shi looked at her dirty clothes and nodded.

Although Millicent appeared to have cleaned herself, her clothes were not yet washed.

There was blood and sweat and even scarlet corruption.

It's quite uncomfortable to wear clothes like this.

From the time Bai Shi first entered the border area until he arrived at Moren City, he had never changed his clothes. He knew that uncomfortable feeling.

"Okay, then when you're ready to leave, come find me outside."

Bai Shi and O'Neill left the cave again, leaving the space here to Millicent.
-
After being some distance away from the cave, O'Neill could no longer pretend.

He was just pretending to not worry Millicent, he really was on his last breath.

He half-knelt on the ground and spat out another mouthful of blood.

"Cough-cough-"

Bai Shi walked up and patted him on the back.

"So what are you going to do next? Just stay in this cave?"

O'Neill took a deep breath.

"Well, I can't die in this state."

"So don't worry."

"If there is any treatment method in the future, come back and see me, an old guy."

O'Neal is now just as he said, he can't die, but living will be more painful.

He was unwilling to go to Red Lion City, so Bai Shi had to leave him some neutralizing incense and corrupting moss medicine.

O'Neill stayed in the cave to rest, while Bai Shi stood at the entrance of the cave waiting for Millicent.

After a while, Millicent came out of the cave.

Her clothes were soaked through and clung to her body, outlining her curves.

Fortunately, the clothes are not too thin and not transparent.

There was no fire in the cave, and Millicent had no way to dry her clothes.

It was also difficult for her to wring the clothes completely dry by hand, and if she had to wait for them to dry naturally, it would take too long.

When Bai Shi saw Millicent like this, he summoned a ball of fire and burned towards a dead tree on the spot.

Sunlight cannot be used casually until all the variations of Scarlet Corruption have been tested, but fire is fine.

With the help of the flame, Millicent gradually dried her clothes.

While waiting, Bai Shi chatted with Millicent from time to time.

After a while, Millicent's clothes were almost dry.

The two of them officially set off.

Bai Shi blew the whistle to summon Torret.

Millicent looked at the horse that suddenly appeared in amazement.

Bai Shi first rode on Torret, then took Millicent's left hand and let her sit behind him.

"Humph."

Bai Shi seemed to hear Melina snort and could only smile awkwardly.

But Melina is not the kind of person who makes unreasonable demands, so this is the only way to deal with the situation.

So she was just a little unhappy.

Torrett sped along the avenue.

From time to time, corrupt followers would rush up from both sides of the road and try to stop them.

These corrupt relatives were all burned to ashes by the white consciousness.

Behind him, Millicent marveled at how powerful Bai Shi was.

With Torret's strength, the two quickly reached the checkpoint in front of Selia Town.

After that level is the dilapidated house of Sage Gwei.

During this period of time near the checkpoint, there were no more corrupt followers coming to harass us.

I don’t know if it was because too many people died that they retreated, or if they were following orders from Gwei.

There was still no one in Gwei's dilapidated house.

Millicent stood in front of the chair, thinking about something.

After a while, he seemed to be speaking to a conscious being, or mumbling to himself:

“This place gives me a sense of nostalgia.”

“I literally grew up here and spent my childhood here.”

"Unfortunately, no one is here."

"…I might want to say goodbye to someone before I go on a journey."

"Although it always feels a little strange... But as expected, the grace of raising me from childhood to adulthood cannot be forgotten so easily."

Millicent sighed.

"Thank you for saving my life."

"Thanks to you, otherwise I would have died somewhere in the Ionian swamps, devoured by the scarlet corruption and turned into a mass of flesh."

Bai Shi looked at the tough girl in front of him and had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

In the game, he quite liked the character of Millicent.

She has her own strong will to fight against the scarlet corruption, and is also a comrade in the game.

However, the ending in the game is not so good, which is a great pity.
-
Bai Shi simply spent a little more time and sent Millicent to the border between Galid and Nimgefu.

All creatures in Gailed are extremely dangerous, and the corrupt followers are even more eager to take action.

Bai Shi can't always protect Millicent.

Anyway, if Millicent wants to go to the Holy Tree, she has to go through Nimgefor.

And under Bai Shi's governance, Nimgfu can be considered quite safe.

Bai Shi also gave her a lot of props to drive away wild beasts and the like.

Given Millicent's current condition, there was no problem at all starting the journey from Nimgefu.

After thanking Bai Shi repeatedly and vowing to repay him in the future, Millicent said goodbye to Bai Shi and embarked on a long journey.

　Mibao, hehe
