The son-in-law of Mr. Hachishaku

Chapter 123 The Girl Born From the Corruption Lake

Se Lian's tone sounded a bit like she wanted to chop Li Ang alive.

The most basic starlight release of pyroxene magic stumbles, but the core prayer of the golden law can be learned easily. It is no wonder that she is not angry when she meets such a wonderful apprentice.

It is an insult to her personality and teaching level.

Fenlei was even angrier than Se Lian. She asked Li Ang to learn to pray. Se Lian's blaming Li Ang was equivalent to blaming her.

However, just when the two of them started to choke, the main party involved, Li Ang, had already run away.

Based on his experience of wandering among women over the years, he felt that he would only be hurt if he continued to stay.

If you have this time, you might as well go to Gayled early.

Before leaving, Li Ang made a special trip to the blacksmith Iggy, please take care of Marenia and Finlay, and send more supplies and useful things during their stay.

These requests were easy for Iggy, so he naturally agreed.

You help me, I help you, once back and forth, friendship is gradually established.

After that, Li Ang still didn't rush to leave, but stopped and waited at a fork in the road not far from the ruins.

About 10 minutes later, Se Lian appeared in a blue mage robe.

The moment she saw her apprentice, her eyes were full of joy and relief, and then quickly disappeared, returning to her usual calm state.

Only the footsteps are obviously much lighter.

"What are you doing standing around stupidly? Let's go."

"Okay." Li Ang smiled and stood shoulder to shoulder with the teacher.

One of them went to Gelid, and the other went back to Kalia Academy, so they could have a temporary companion.

On the way, Li Ang discussed: "Why don't I accompany you back to the academy first."

Se Lian refused directly without even thinking: "It's such a small thing, there's no need to worry about this incompetent apprentice."

Seeing her resolute attitude, Li Ang no longer insisted, and handed her the pyroxene key.

"I know you have a problem with Renara, but can you please don't do anything to her for my sake."

The female magician frowned, gave him a sideways glance, and wondered where she was going.

"Don't worry, I won't bully a mentally disturbed patient."

"That's good." Li Ang was relieved.

Although Ser Lian did not harm Lenara after taking control of the academy in the game and just moved her to the corner of the library, it is always safe to mention her more.

Without further ado, they traveled for several hours, and in a blink of an eye it was time for the two of them to part ways.

Although there was not much communication along the way, Selian still felt that this was the most relaxing journey she had recently.

Help the apprentice tidy up the wrinkled collar caused by a brutal and unreasonable female knight.

She said softly: "Be careful when you are alone. It doesn't matter if you can't find what you want. Come back to me and the teacher will help you find a solution."

Li Ang didn't speak, just opened his arms silently.

Se Lian did not refuse this time, and took the initiative to hug his apprentice and pat his back.

After a simple farewell, Li Ang called out the spirit horse and embarked on the road to the south.

Before heading to Nimgefu, he deliberately took the road to a place called the Reformation Tower on the north shore of the lake area and collected the third memory stone.

(The red wolf in Radagon in the academy will explode a memory stone. I forgot about it, so I’ll add it now.)
Finally, we returned to Stonewell City through the cliff near the lake.

I originally thought that without the rule of Limb-Grek, the city would gradually turn into a paradise for bandits and vagrants, but it turned out to be quite orderly.

Many residents and knights who voluntarily stayed and continued to defend the city recognized Li Ang, showing a strange obedience and admiration, as if they regarded him as the new lord.

It's not surprising if you think about it carefully, at the junction where strength is respected, the weak are used to relying on the strong.

When Li Ang defeated Greg, it proved that he was better than Greg, and he would naturally be recognized by others.

But Li Angzhi is not here, he can't even rule a village, let alone a city, or even the whole Ningmgfu.

So he stopped staying any longer and headed east from the Storm Hills all the way to Gelid.

As less than a month had passed since the shocking battle between Malenia and Latarn, Galid had not yet completely transformed into the Red Earth Continent of later generations, but rampant corruption had already begun to take shape.

The vegetation was dead and dilapidated, and corpses were everywhere. There were a large number of sporadic spots similar to bacterial colonies on the ground. The clouds in the sky were strangely red, flowing and surging like a long bloody river.

In addition to corruption, the wounds left by the war can be seen everywhere. Severed spears, broken swords, shattered shields, and burned flags. In this war without a winner, no matter which side it is, it has paid Painful price.

Since setting foot in Galede, Li Ang has not seen a living ordinary resident, but he has seen a lot of red lion knights who clean the battlefield and patrol around.

They are Latarn's subordinates. After the war, there are not many survivors.

Even so, he was still unwilling to give up his glory and pride, and stationed everywhere in Gelid with a heart of redemption, using very limited power to kill the ugly creatures that mutated due to corruption.

When Li Ang approached, the red lions kindly persuaded him to turn back.

They were the friendliest group of soldiers he had encountered since entering the border area.

However, the premise of friendship is that Li Ang transformed into a suit of clothes instead of the previous armor of the Rotten Knight.

"I'm looking for someone, don't worry about me."

The Red Lions didn't bother to persuade them anymore. During this period of time, there were countless speculators who wanted to come to Gaelid to get some benefits, but so far none of them was able to get out unscathed.

If you want to die, go ahead.Li Ang knew what they were thinking, so he didn't care and went straight to the depths of Galede.

Before contacting his brother-in-law Lataen, he had a few other things to do. The first thing was to go to the vicinity of the magic town [Seria] to find the founder of the academy—the magician of origin: Luthert.

As you can tell from the name, Selia is also a gathering place for magicians.

It was founded by a group of remnants of the Eternal City. At one time, it was as prestigious as the Kallia Academy. Even Latarn, the son of Queen Full Moon, came here to study.

It is a pity that this historic town could not escape the influence of the war, and it is no longer as prosperous as it used to be.

The closer you get to the hinterland of Geled, the more contaminated the surrounding environment is with corruption.

A pink miasma of corruption filled the air.

Even if ordinary people do nothing, just staying here is enough to be infected with serious corruption.

Fortunately, Torret, who was in a spiritual state, was not affected.

After walking for almost an hour along the road built by the Golden Dynasty, at the pass in front of Celia Town, Li Ang reined in the reins and stopped moving forward.

He set off from Lienia in the morning, and it was now approaching evening, so he planned to take a short rest.

By the way, let's look for the place where Lusset is being held.

The expulsion stipulated by the college is not as simple as driving people out, but finding a remote place to imprison them, and they will also have people watching to prevent them from escaping.

And Luthert was locked in a hidden cave behind Selia Town.

It is also sad that the legendary magician has fallen to this point.

While he was sighing, Li Ang suddenly heard a very slight gasp.

He put the spirit horse back into the ring and looked to the left at the stinking swamp with poisonous bubbles and corruption.

This was also a beautiful lake area at the beginning, but unfortunately it became the central battlefield for the duel between Malenia and Latarn, and finally became what it is now.

Even the name was changed to Corrupt Swamp [Ionia].

There are many mutated creatures inside, and Li Ang knew that it was the first one to provoke him with such short-sightedness today.

Pull out the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood, and slowly walk towards the edge of the swamp.

Behind a gray boulder, Li Ang found the originator of the sound.

A red-haired girl covered in blood and in a coma.

Her appearance is [-]% similar to Marlenia's, but she is more immature. There are white veins like mycelium on half of her face, which is obviously caused by a putrefactive disease.

Li Ang shook her shoulder lightly, but there was no sign of waking up.

So he called Torette out again, picked her up and put her on the horse, and led the horse to a safe and secluded open space.

Lay the girl flat on the ground, and light a fire next to it.

She didn't know how long she had been soaking in the corruption swamp, her clothes were completely wet by the sewage, her fingers were turning white, her body was extremely hot, and she kept shaking.

Seeing this, Li Ang poured the Holy Tree Dettol from the Holy Grail bottle into her mouth.

Since Finlay gave this thing to him, he hasn't used it himself, but it ended up being used by others first.

While waiting, Li Ang unconsciously looked at the girl's face.

It's not that she is beautiful, but that she feels strange about her appearance.

Or, why did she appear here?
Marlenia released the red corruption, which not only caused herself to fall into a deep sleep, but also split into five clones and stayed in the center of the swamp.

These five people are part of Marlenia's soul, representing the dignity and glory she abandoned by giving up resistance and actively embracing corruption.

It can be regarded as a special kind of split personality.

The girl in front of Li Ang is one of them, her name is Millicent.

In fact, the clone has no memory of the original body, so the name may also be a later one.

According to the original plot, Millicent and the four sisters would be taken in by corrupt relatives with ulterior motives, and gradually brainwashed into tools to seduce Marlenia into complete corruption.

Because they were born with corruption and have the same origin as Malenia, the God of Corruption, none of the four sisters survived the step of brainwashing and became the new dependents of corruption. Only Millicent remained true to herself.

Li Ang guessed that it was probably because he came early enough to get in touch with Millicent before the corrupt family members.

As for the whereabouts of the other four sisters, we can only know when Millicent wakes up.

Marlenia is a demigod, so her avatar's physical fitness is naturally not bad. It didn't take long for Millicent to wake up.

When she realized that she was in an unfamiliar environment, she immediately sat up, her eyes full of vigilance.

Li Ang handed her some fruits picked on the road: "It's clean, I hope it can make you feel at ease."

The advantage of having a handsome face is evident at this time. At least it won't be annoying when you first meet him.

Millicent took the fruit in a daze, her face full of confusion: "Who are you?"

And Torret, who was next to the two, shook his head dissatisfied, those fruits were obviously his snacks!

　I didn’t have to update it today, and it was stuck again.

　　Every time I arrive at a new area and new map, I have to look up a lot of information to prevent any omissions, and then I start to get stuck.
