Chapter 1413 The Sword That Belongs Only to You
Xinghai Prosthetic Hand…Millicent picked up the prosthetic hand and looked at it carefully.
The prosthetic hand is ivory white in color, with beautiful and smooth overall lines. If you don't look closely, you can't even tell that it is an assembled prosthetic hand.
The joints of the prosthetic hand are perfectly connected, and the lines of the wrist, palm and fingers are slender, which is very similar to Millicent's left hand. Holding it in her hand, Millicent can even feel that the prosthetic hand has its own vitality as if it were a flesh and blood limb.
There wouldn't be another prosthetic arm as good as this one in the entire border area, right?
Millicent held this precious gift in her hands, and thinking of the scarlet corruption that was inexplicably stagnant in her body, she could not help but guess that it was the strange man in front of her who saved her.
She stood up slowly, holding her prosthetic hand somewhat stiffly, her voice as beautiful as before but a little weak:
"Please, why did you save me?"
Heather didn't say anything, but just hooked her finger at Millicent, indicating that she should sit in front of the campfire.
Millicent didn't know how she got there, and in a daze she found herself sitting in front of a crackling campfire.
The warmth of the campfire eased her tense nerves a little, giving her the energy to secretly look at the strange man.
He had a head of matte black hair that went down to his ears like a crow's feathers. His appearance was so handsome that Millicent was at a loss for words to describe it. He had a well-proportioned figure with smooth muscle lines, and he looked very powerful.
Millicent didn't understand why someone would be willing to spend so much effort to suppress a woman like herself who only brought scarlet corruption and make such an exquisite prosthetic hand for her.
She touched her face unconsciously and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
No, it's impossible. The man in front of me is as handsome as the legendary demigods. How could he fall in love with an ugly woman like me?
In front of the campfire, just as Millicent secretly looked at Heather, Heather was also looking at her.
Millicent is about 1.7 meters tall, with shoulder-length red hair. Her appearance is not absolutely beautiful, but it can be described as pretty. The key is her temperament - she appears weak on the surface, but is extremely firm and strong on the inside.
Although I didn't complete the Elden Ring game, I have started doing Millicent's side quests, and there is also plot analysis about Millicent on the Internet.
Heather, who never liked spoilers, opened the post for the first time and took a look. She was surprised to find that Millicent had a great relationship with the Valkyrie Marenia.
Now observing Millicent closely, Heather could vaguely sense the strangeness of Millicent's soul through the Soul Gem.
She was like an ignorant and helpless child, a fragment separated from a certain soul. To describe it in a more vivid way, she was like a low-profile version of the Living Face Yu clone, representing a certain character or humanity of Marenia.
So that's how it is. I have figured out the principle behind the many demigods' avatars in this border area.
In this way, this child is the human existence of Malenia. Malenia, who has abandoned her humanity, is no longer the invincible Valkyrie, but the incarnation of the Scarlet Goddess of Corruption.
Interesting, so interesting.
Heather's "teacher-like" trait was activated, and the helpless Millicent in front of her was simply a treasure.
She possesses the great potential of a Valkyrie, as well as the radiance of humanity that a Valkyrie no longer possesses. More importantly, she is still a perfect unpolished jade that has yet to be carved into shape.
Heather was rubbing her hands together frantically, but on the surface she looked calm and composed, like a perfect man. He had a gentle smile that could make women relax, and with the concept of dreams he was spreading secretly, his voice was deep and powerful:
“Why do we need a reason to save a person, especially a child with [potential]?
My name is Heather. Some people call me [The Selector], and some call me [The Prince of the Star Sea], but I prefer my friends to call me Heather.
Why don't you try out the prosthetic hand I made just for you? After you try it out, maybe you'd be willing to tell me your name."
Millicent had never been treated so gently, not to mention that the man in front of her was like a god who made her feel ashamed. She was startled at first, then pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and then said softly:
“My name is… Millicent. I am a woman possessed by the Scarlet Corruption Curse, and I do not deserve your gentle treatment.
Please take back this precious prosthetic hand."
As she said this, she wanted to return the prosthetic hand to Heather.
"Really? But I don't think you think so."
Heather pointed to the prosthetic hand in Millicent's arms.
She lowered her head and realized that her only remaining left hand was tightly holding the prosthetic hand. Her subconscious...did not want to let go of the prosthetic hand, did not want to push away the man who brought her warmth.
At this time, Heather took the prosthetic hand from Millicent's arms with her warm big hand and whispered, "Don't you know how to use it? I'll teach you."
Millicent's head was dizzy, and she only felt that she was being hugged by the man named Heather. She felt a strange feeling at the broken part of her right shoulder.
Soon, a strange touch came from her right hand...right hand? Millicent subconsciously raised her right hand and found that this Xinghai prosthetic hand was as flexible as her left hand. She could even faintly feel the touch between her fingers.
Heather had stepped aside at this point, leaving enough distance for a woman meeting for the first time to feel at ease, and said with a smile, "It looks like a good match, doesn't it?"
Millicent slowly moved her right hand in amazement, and was awakened by Heather's words. She hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you very much."
Heather waved her hand. "I told you, you are a child with [potential]. I admire you, Millicent."
Millicent pursed her lips again subconsciously, a sign of her shyness. She was about to say something when she suddenly covered her head and groaned.
Many things were going through her mind.
Heather saw all this and walked over to help Millicent up. It seemed that as the scarlet corruption was suppressed, Millicent's sealed memory began to awaken.
After a while, Millicent finally recovered. She noticed that she was being held by Heather and quickly shrank back. She suddenly felt that her clothes, which were stained with blood and dirt, were really indecent and would dirty Heather's clothes.
"Did you remember anything?" Heather tilted her head slightly.
"I, I do remember some things. I seemed to be planning to go on a trip... To be exact, I wanted to track down the whereabouts of Marenia."
Millicent's left hand slowly stroked her right arm prosthesis and said softly:
“After the battle with General Latan on the Ionian Plains, she unleashed her corrupted power and has been missing ever since, but I would like to meet her.
I have a vague feeling that Marenia is in the north, farther north of the golden tree."
Heather nodded slightly. "I see. It seems that you and Marenia have some kind of blood relationship that is hard to explain. But please forgive me for being frank. In your current state, you cannot cross the golden tree and reach the north. The beasts, monsters, soldiers and knights on the road can kill you.
So, do you want to listen to my advice?"
As he spoke, he opened his palm, and a gem shining with orange light was floating in his hand.
“I have a gift for you.
A sword that belongs only to you."
