"Can you tell me first, what's your name?"

"Why are you here, and are there any relatives?"

Seeing that the ashes no longer came closer, the girl spoke about her background.

"My name is Millicent, and I only remember my own name, because of the scarlet corruption in my body, which caused me to keep losing my memory..."

“... Relatives, I don't remember, I shouldn't have it, otherwise I wouldn't be here..."

Millicent's words, although cold, could still hear a trace of sadness in the ashes.

"In this way, although your injuries have stabilized, you still need to recuperate."

"This place is rampant with poisonous insects, which is not conducive to wound recovery, so you should leave with me first."

Just as Ash was about to take the girl Millicent away, there was a cry of pain outside the church.

Following the voice, an old man rushed in.

"Child, you are here, and it is all my fault that you have suffered."

Looking at the old man kneeling in front of Millicent, Ash wondered, which one is this singing?

Millicent frowned slightly, the old man in front of him, he had some impressions, but he couldn't remember anything.

Or Ash spoke: "May I ask who you are?" ”

"Woo... Woo, I'm Millicent's adoptive father, and you saved her, thank you, Lord Fader. ”

"Adoptive father?"

"Adoptive father!"

Ash and Millicent were surprised at the same time, and Ash was surprised because the old man, who was Millicent's adoptive father, had left the girl here. Millicent, on the other hand, was shocked that she actually had an adoptive father.

"It's a long story, Millicent, the boy I picked up from the Ionian swamp in Galid."

"Who would have thought that this child would have a hard life, and he would be parasitized by scarlet corruption when he was a child."

"As an adult, my memory is getting worse and worse, and I don't even recognize my family!"

"So, what do you call it?"

After listening to the old man's words, Ash asked how to address the old man.

"My name is Gwee, and I live near the town of Selia not far away."

"Why did Millicent appear here, there are insects guarding the door, if I hadn't passed by here, your father and daughter would have been separated forever."

In the face of Ash's questioning, Gwee couldn't stop crying and kept yelling.

"It's all my fault, this time I took Millicent out to find a way to cure the scarlet corruption, but I was careless, and I got separated."

"As for the bugs, they naturally believe in the goddess of corruption, so they must have mistaken Millicent for the son of corruption."

After listening to Gwyn's words, Ash keenly captured the key word [Cure Scarlet Corruption], could it be that Scarlet Corruption can still be saved?

Millicent in the corner was also a little excited, the scarlet corruption had tormented her for so many years, and no one was more eager to be healed than her.

And the old man in front of him, who called himself Gway, was a little familiar, and he also claimed to be his adoptive father.

You shouldn't be able to deceive yourself, right?

Lying on the ground, Gwyn caught a glimpse of Ash and Millicent being attracted by the words of [Cure Crimson Corruption], and continued to explain.

"That's right, it's [Cure Scarlet Corruption], in order to stop Millicent's pain, I have been searching for many years, and finally found a solution."

"What's the solution?"

"What's the solution... Woo...? ”

It was Ash and Millicent who spoke at the same time, and Millicent was also overexcited, causing the wound to split, and Ash immediately released [Emergency Healing] again.

Looking at Millicent anxiously, Gwee got up from the ground and sat cross-legged.

"The golden needle, the golden needle in the middle of the Ionian swamp."

"Golden needles?"

The ashes that are treating Millison have fallen into a blind spot of knowledge again.

Gwee looked at the ashes and thought, "Where did this spoiler come from?" ”

But I had to continue to explain, after all, Ash saved Millicent, and I had to do a full set of acts.

"Yes, it's the golden needle."

"I've dragged on a long time, and finally found a cure for Crimson Corruption in a ruin."

"It's the golden needle."

"It is said that the Valkyrie Malenia was also born parasitic by scarlet corruption."

"Her brother, Michaela of the Sacred Tree, made a golden needle in order to save her sister Malenia from suffering."

"As long as you insert the golden needle into your body, you can seal the scarlet corruption."

After listening to Gwee's introduction, Ash had new questions.

"So, the golden needle should be in the body of the Valkyrie Malenia, how can it be in the Ionian Swamp?"

Gwee sighed, and could only take the trouble to explain.

"During the Shattered War, the Valkyrie Malenia led her troops to attack Galid, and fought fiercely with the Shattered Star General Ratarn in the middle of the Ionian swamp."

"In order to win, the Valkyrie pulled out the golden needle and unleashed the Scarlet Corruption."

"So it led to a lose-lose situation for both sides, and Gallid became a contaminated area."

Gwee paused, his gaze returning to Millicent.

"Now the golden needle is in the center of the Ionian swamp, and it is also the most polluted area, as long as the golden needle is retrieved and sealed into Millicent's body, this child will be saved."

At this, Gwee began to cry again.

“... Woo..., but where is still entrenched in the old department of the Rotten Knights. ”

"Child, it's all because my father is useless and can't get it."

The old ministry of the Rotten Knights? Ash touched his chin, regretting that he didn't take Melina with him, and now he couldn't estimate the strength of the enemy at all.

But looking at the one-armed girl in front of him, Ash stood up.

"Millicent's injuries have been stabilized by me, Gwee, you are here to take care of her, I'll give it a try!"

"Lord Fader, don't rush in, be careful..."

Ash heard Millicent's words, waved his hand, and left without looking back.

The center of the Ionian swamp doesn't need a map at all, the red patch is.

Ash rode his horse, trying to follow the vegetation as far as he could, and as the twisting roots grew more and more, the aura around him grew more and more scarlet.

In the end, Ash had to give himself healing techniques to mitigate the negative effects.

Sure enough, when Ash arrived at the center of the Ionian swamp, he saw knights in red robes, already wandering aimlessly around the swamp like walking corpses.

This is what Gweis said about the old tribe of the Rotten Knights, when the Valkyrie Malenia and the Shattered Star General Ratarn were both defeated and lost. These knights are probably waiting here, waiting for their master's return.

The main goal this time is to find the golden needle, and it is not appropriate to engage in battle.

Ash carefully bypassed the rotten knights, slowly moving closer to the center.

Didn't alarm any enemies, after coming to the central area.

I saw a white-haired veteran, holding a military flag, standing in it, like a monument.

Along the way, no trace of the golden needle was found, and now the biggest possibility is on this veteran's body.

Ash came to the veteran, ready to ask, and looked at it.

The veteran's face was gray, and he no longer had the brilliance of a living person.

How can you ask about this, let's fight.

At this time, the veteran also found the ashes, and with a wave of the flag, it was a penetrating stabbing attack in the face.

The ground was all scarlet and rotten, and the ashes could not be rolled over, so they could only be blocked by shields.

The sound of metal colliding kept ringing.

Don't look at the veteran's age, but his moves are powerful. Melee is very disadvantaged, and Ash immediately changes tactics.

First, a white dragon breathed, slowing down the veteran's movements.

While the ice mist had not yet dispersed, another thunder gun had a surprisingly good effect, and the veteran who was shrouded in the ice mist immediately appeared stiff.

Taking advantage of this moment, Ash threw out all kinds of magic and miracles, thinking that it could be done.

As a result, the veteran waved his flag, and the Rotten Knights, who had previously scattered all over the swamp, began to gather towards the center as if they had heard the sound of a trumpet.
