Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 63 Corner
"Lucia, here!" As soon as Lucia went out, she heard Marenia's joyful shout.

Looking up, the convoy of the Holy Tree Palace had already stopped in front of his house, and the little girl was poking her head out of the carriage and waving at him vigorously.

"We've been waiting for you for a while, come quickly, take my brother and I's car!" She shouted while directing the driver to move the carriage over.

"Your Highness, we..." Aegis, who was in charge of the guard, consulted Lucia.

"It's okay, I'll go there by myself, and you lead the team to follow." Lucia arranged, then jumped out of the carriage briskly, walked a few steps to Mikaela and Marlenia's car and jumped on it.

Aegis had no choice but to lead the team to approach the captain of the guard of the Sacred Tree Palace. The leader on the opposite side was also a young knight commander. The two looked at each other and smiled helplessly. The wall between the Asian Temple and the Holy Tree Hall has been flattened, and the current situation is not too far-fetched.

So they simply ordered the two teams of knights to form a mixed team, and after closely guarding the carriage of the three gods in the center, they went straight to the outer city.

After Lucia got in the car, he noticed that Marenia was wearing a very delicate and beautiful dress, but her face was much paler than usual. Didn't notice it the first time.

Looking at Mikaela again, there is a deep weakness hidden under that delicate and handsome face, and even the brilliance of blessing in his eyes is a bit dim - this is obviously the result of a large amount of overdraft of divine power and spirit at the same time , almost in a state of exhaustion.

Lucia could see that Mikaela must have released many recovery prayers to himself, and now similar spells had no effect on him, and he could only wait for his body to recover slowly.

"What's the matter with both of you?" Lucia worried, and at the same time, there was an ominous premonition in her heart.

"Marenia was a little unwell this morning, but my brother has already cured me, so don't worry!" Marenia said with a bright smile. She poked her head and looked around Lucia, wondering. : "Where's Shirley?"

"It's too cold today, Shirley stayed at home to sleep." Lucia stroked her hair and said.

Marenia let out a long voice, pursed her mouth, and rubbed her back in dissatisfaction, avoiding Lucia's palm, and hid in the corner of the carriage to sulk.

Lucia looked at Mikaela with an ugly expression. The temperature from her fingertips just now was hot and cold, and Marenia's current physical condition is obviously very bad.

"Malenia, go to sleep first, we will call you when we arrive." Mikaela said, picked up the blanket prepared on the seat, went over to wrap Malenia up, and helped her intimately Tuck in the corners.

The little girl looked at the worried expression on her brother's eyebrows, then looked at Lucia's gloomy face, blinked her eyes and said, "Lucia, I'm not really angry, I will forgive you when I wake up, and you are not allowed to give birth to me Angry!"

Lucia's heart softened, and she tried to put on a smiling expression, comforting her: "Sleep well, I will forgive you when you wake up!"

Marenia quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and obediently closed her eyes. She seemed to be really tired, and after a while, she snored softly like a kitten.

Lucia got up gently, tiptoed over Mikaela's shoulders, carried him to sit beside her, leaned closer and whispered: "What's going on, Marenia's corruption has flared up again today?"

Mikaela stretched out his palm and released a faint light, setting up a temporary sound barrier between the two of them and Marenia. Even such a simple prayer seemed to exhaust his entire body. strength.

After arranging everything, he breathed a sigh of relief, nodded with a serious expression, and said, "It happened once this morning, and the situation was very serious. My father came to see it in person. It's a pity that although my father's divine power is powerful, it is not as pure as mine. Maybe it's also because she and I are twin siblings, only I can barely suppress the scarlet corruption on her body."

He lowered his head, inserted his fingers into his hair, and rubbed them indiscriminately. This was the first time Lucia had seen him lose his composure.

After a long time, his hoarse voice came from between his arms: "I tried my best, I really tried my best—"

"You know, I've done everything I can, golden prayers, magical runes, healing, and perfumery, but her disease, that damned rotten disease, is still lingering on her body like a gangrene I don't even know how much longer she can last, three years, five years?"

He was panting exhaustedly, and Yinglang's eyebrows were twisted together in pain. After a while, he continued in a slightly trembling voice: "I can't imagine the day when I lose her, Lucia, can you imagine that feeling?"

"We are given a mission by the supreme will, and many people hope to become the gods of the next era." Mikaela sneered mockingly, "If I can't even save my sister, what am I? God man?"

Lucia's lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything. All he could do was support Mikaela's weak body with his shoulders, silently chewing on the despair that hit his face.

"Father originally wanted me to accompany her to rest at home, but after she woke up from a night's sleep, she insisted on going to greet her two brothers and sister," Mikaela sighed softly, "You may think that she is still a person with nothing. A child who understands, but she's actually smarter than anyone imagined."

"She was worried about her father, and worried that her brothers and sisters hated her father. She even felt that this hatred came from the existence of me and her, so she had to come, and she put on her favorite dress. She wanted her brother The sisters can accept her, accept me, and accept dad."

Lucia looked at the opposite side with complicated eyes. The girl curled up in the blanket was pale, and the pain caused by the corruption disease remained in the slightly frowned brows, but there was still a bright smile on the corner of her mouth. Because of Lucia's promise to her before going to bed, or because she was looking forward to this meeting that spanned ten years.

In his previous life, he had personally experienced the sharp blade that was unparalleled in the world, and he had also seen the scarlet flower that turned the prosperous and prosperous Gelid into a corrupt hell.At one time, like countless faded people, he denounced Marenia's despicability and madness, because she not only destroyed a great opponent, but also dragged countless innocent people on the battlefield into the abyss.

However, at this moment, looking back at the lonely figure blooming among the fallen flowers deep in her memory, Lucia seemed to see a little girl standing alone. She had been carefully guarding a small corner where only a few A few people and a few things are like a child caring for his most cherished toy.

When that corner was broken into by someone, and everything she cherished was trampled to pieces, leaving a hole in the holy tree that could never be healed, that kind, simple, wise and strong girl followed suit. died.

What bloomed from the scarlet flower was no longer the current Marenia, but the corrupt goddess who made all living beings fear pain.

"Don't worry," he said softly, "everything will be fine with me here."

Pushing open the window, the light reflected on his sharp-edged face, and the sparkling Lake Rodel was already in the distance.
