RNP Chapter 216: Destined Journey
Chapter 216: Destined Journey
This might be the coldest day I have felt since I came to the real world of the Elden Ring.
On the way back to Red Lion City from the magic town of Ceria, in order to become stronger, Millicent decided to go with us to participate in the battle festival of "Broken Star" Latarn to learn the fighting methods between different warriors.
That would have been fine, but unexpectedly, Pollyanna, the youngest daughter of Sage Gwei, also came along.
——Not to mention that in the game, the four sisters became Millicent’s final test.
——In reality, the two sisters are at odds with each other as soon as they meet! Pollyanna even said that Millicent's entire right arm was cut off by her!
Along the way, silence enveloped the seven of us.
Everyone was silent, not even daring to breathe...
"Millicent, you are amazing~"
Blaze, I, and Ixutopia's eyes widened in fear.
——Hey! Laya, why don't you say something else, but you still praise Millicent in front of Pollyanna? !
"When Pollyanna was in the middle of the swamp, I knew she was very powerful. Her movements and attacks were so fast that I couldn't see clearly." Fortunately, Laya's next words made Pollyanna just snort and turn her head away.
Blaze breathed a sigh of relief, and I held my forehead helplessly, probably guessing what Laya was thinking.
As for Ishutopia, it seemed that he had opened his eyes too wide just now, allowing Galid's sand to take the opportunity to get in and rub them constantly.
"... I didn't expect that Millicent could block so many of Pollyanna's moves. She's really amazing~"
"Ms. Laya, you're too kind." Millicent seemed unable to bear Laya's praise, and quietly raised her hand and shook it at her.
But the little snake didn't notice at all and continued, "And since you also want to become stronger, then I suggest that after the festival, Millicent can go to the Volcano Mansion with me and Zero~"
"Volcano Residence?"
"That's right. Under the call of Lady Tanis, we have gathered many warriors among the Faded Ones in the Volcano Mansion to fight together to resist the Golden Dynasty that has caused such a chaotic situation in the border area." Laya really started her daily recruitment again. "If Millicent is willing, she will definitely become more powerful in our mansion~"
"I see." Millicent nodded and asked, "Then...Excuse me, where is the Volcano Residence?"
When she heard that Millicent seemed interested, Laya said excitedly, "The Volcano Residence is at the easternmost part of the Yatan Plateau, near the Gemir Volcano. But as long as we get to the plateau, I have a way to take people directly to our residence."
"As for the east..." Millicent seemed to be embarrassed. "Thank you for your invitation, Miss Laya. If I have the chance, I will visit there. However, the fate I foresee may not be in your mansion. Please forgive me."
"Oh, I see." After being rejected once again, the little snake scratched his face in frustration.
"Laya, I remember you haven't invited me yet!" Suddenly, Pollyanna on the other side asked loudly, but not in a good mood, "Why? Am I not as good as Millicent!?"
—You're going to argue about that, Pollyanna? Little kid?
Laya explained: "I, I actually asked your eldest sister Mary before, but she seemed reluctant... And, at that time, Pollyanna, you also fainted."
"Big sister is big sister, and I am me!"
"Well, then Pollyanna, would you like to come? Volcano Residence." Laya asked cautiously.
"No!" Pollyanna responded firmly.
——······Then what are you fighting for?
I reluctantly stepped forward and touched Laya's depressed little head. I asked Pollyanna, "Speaking of your sisters, Pollyanna, is it really okay for you to follow us alone?"
"What's the problem? Why should Dad agree to let Millicent go on a trip, but I have to stay there?" Pollyanna said angrily, "It's not the right time to say anything. I also want to find my own destiny!"
——Your destiny is to fight to the death with Millicent, and then guide her to bloom!
——However, according to Pollyanna, old Gwei has not yet told his four adopted daughters about his plan.
"Well, Millicent, what's your fate?" Pollyanna asked aggressively.
“I… to be honest, I don’t know the full picture of my fate yet.” Millicent answered honestly without any ulterior motives. “It’s just that when I was unconscious after being stabbed by the golden needle, I seemed to see a pale snowy field, where there were two familiar figures… One of them had bright red hair, just like me and you, Pollyanna…”
"As for the snowfield, it can only be found in the northern part of the Yatan Plateau," Blaze interrupted, "but it is said that after the Giant War, Everqueen Marica completely closed the road to the snowfield."
"But speaking of red-haired people, I remember that General Latan had red hair." Ishutopia also intervened in the topic.
"Not only that, the great hero of the Golden Dynasty, Radagon, and his related demigod descendants almost all inherited his long red hair." Speaking of this, Blaze, a knight who was once a member of the Kalia royal family, was very familiar with it. "General Ratan and Princess Ranie all have red hair... Oh, and it is said that one of his twin children born to Queen Marica, the 'Valkyrie' Marennia, also has long red hair."
"'Valkyrie' Marenia, huh?" Millicent seemed to be searching for the name in her memory.
Alexander laughed cheerfully as always and said, "Hahaha, if that's the case, Millicent, you should indeed come with us to Red Lion City. After all, the current appearance of this land is the result of the battle between the Valkyrie and General Shatterstar!"
"Really?" Millicent turned her head and looked towards the Ionian Swamp.
There, the scarlet Ionia that once blossomed has turned into the remains of dead trees, left in a sea of crimson.
The growing corruption and the scarlet dust floating in the sky seemed to be constantly illustrating the cruelty of the war.
Suddenly, Pollyanna threw something to Millicent, and when she took it, she saw that it was a hair rope.
"Tie up your messy hair. You look just like my timid third sister. It's annoying."
"Oh, thank you." Millicent skillfully tied her hair with one hand, but when it came to tying it with a hair tie, she had a hard time.
Laya came over and said, "Let me help you, Millicent."
"Well, thank you... Ah, no, it doesn't have to be tied so beautifully, Miss Laya."
Although Millicent refused verbally, she still let Laya walk while she skillfully made her hair into an aristocratic bun with a braided edge, just like Saber's.
Pollyanna just watched from the side and snorted coldly.
Overall, the atmosphere between the girls has eased a lot.
It took us almost half a day to return to Red Lion City before nightfall.
"Oh, welcome back, everyone!" Upon hearing the news, City Lord Jerlian rushed over to greet us in person. "Zero, your friend Pachi and his friends brought almost a cart of night-dew hepatocarpus, and they arrived yesterday. How are you doing?"
"Um... well." I could only take out five intact buds along with the slightly burnt Holy Blood Wood buds, and briefly explained what happened. "I just don't know if these Holy Blood Wood buds can still be used to make moss medicine. Aren't they too little?"
“...It’s hard to say. We can only try it first.” City Lord Jie Lian understood our difficulties. He waved his hand and asked his men to bring clean cloth to wrap the holy blood wood buds and preserve them temporarily.
"Wait a moment, can you lend me those burnt wood buds?" Suddenly, Millicent called out to the knights.
City Lord Jie Lian and I looked at each other, and he nodded.
"Thank you." Millicent took the wooden bud and looked at it for a moment. Suddenly, she drew out the Sesir long knife and put it in her mouth.
Just as we were wondering what she was going to do, Millicent cut her palm with a knife and then tightly grasped the silver-gray wood bud.
A miracle happened soon!
The wood buds sucked Millicent's blood, and even the veins of the branches were dyed red, and on the top, buds that were about to bloom began to grow again!
