Chapter 405: Valkyrie Marlenia!
"Valkyrie, at the Sacred Tree."
"How do we get there?"
"The Sacred Tree is outside the tower, but without the Sacred Tree emblem, we can’t go there. However, for someone like you, I think it should be no problem."
"So, you mean I can enter the Sacred Tree directly, but you all can’t, right?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"It’s not that we don’t want to accompany you…"
"Okay, I understand. Take me to the Sacred Tree."
On a tall cliff, ahead was an endless abyss, and a towering ancient tree.
Ye Long stood still, then suddenly roots extended from the Sacred Tree, connecting to Ye Long’s feet.
"Indeed."
Ye Long took a step onto the roots, which were incredibly wide, even enough to build a house on.
Along the way, Ye Long saw numerous creatures resembling elves.
They all did not stop Ye Long, until he reached a door of the Sacred Tree walking along one of its roots.
Two large golden-red doors enveloped by roots, depicting a woman in red armor and a warrior on a thin horse carrying dual swords.
One swung the swords downwards, the other upwards, frozen in this scene.
Obviously, the warrior riding a horse and holding two swords is Latain.
And the woman with red hair wearing golden armor beside him should be Valkyrie.
When Ye Long arrived here, the two huge gates suddenly opened.
Ye Long walked in and all along the way were knights in golden red armor, standing in two rows on both sides of the corridor like statues.
Ye Long glanced at them from the corner of his eye, are they real people?
He could feel the liveliness, so they must be real.
Ye Long didn’t pay much attention, and they also ignored him, allowing Ye Long to walk towards the depths of the sacred tree on his own.
In the depths of the sacred tree was a spiral staircase, and Ye Long didn’t know how long he had been walking on this spiral staircase.
Anyway, he could sense that he had arrived at a rather deep place.
Along the path were many different paintings on the walls, as well as a unique lotus flower pattern.
Gradually, Ye Long arrived at the bottom level of the sacred tree.
Before his eyes was another large door. Ye Long was about to reach out when the two doors opened by themselves.
The scene that greeted him made Ye Long slightly shocked.
A shallow pool covered with petals, dim fluorescent light illuminating the darkness, countless red butterflies fluttering freely.
As Ye Long looked around while walking in, he saw not far away a huge bright red lotus flower.
Beside the bright red lotus flower was a woman wearing armor.
She sat on a chair with only one arm, long red hair cascading down to her ankles.
Quietly placed at her feet was a metal arm and a helmet resembling a mask.
When Ye Long got closer, he got a fright.
The woman’s face and body were covered in rot and burn marks, looking very scary and disgusting.
Is she Valkyrie Marlenia?
Just then, Marlenia suddenly opened her eyes.
"I had a long dream…"
"The body turning pale like gold, the blood turning corrupt…"
"Piles of countless corpses."
"All just to wait for that person’s return."
Marlenia stood up from her chair and gently bent her knees.
Ye Long thought she was going to kneel down as well, but Marlenia just picked up the arm from the ground.
Then she gently inserted it onto her broken right arm.
Click.
The metal fingers of the artificial arm suddenly moved.
"I am Mikayla’s Blade, Valkyrie Marlenia, how should I address you?"
Ye Long’s eyes narrowed, "My name is Ye Long."
Marlenia’s metal arm suddenly grabbed a knife blade from the lotus flower, then violently flung it out!
The blade had no handle, it was a solid piece of metal.
"This is not where you should be."
Swish!
In an instant, Marlenia’s artificial hand blade was directly held against Ye Long’s throat, with the blade almost piercing in!
Ye Long’s pupils shrank, "Then why did you let me in?"
Marlenia’s tone was very indifferent, "You have one last chance to speak."
At this moment, Ye Long’s heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and his brain began to work rapidly.
Looking at Marlenia’s current appearance, experiencing the battle with General Shattered Star Latain must have been tough for her…
No, this is not the main point.
The main point is…
The main point is…
Name!
Ye Long suddenly looked up, "Auzo."
Marlenia’s grip weakened slightly, but she was determined not to drop the sword.
"Who is Auzo?"
Ye Long turned around, "Me."
"You’re not," Marlenia said coldly.
"I will be."
"But not now."
"I always have been, whether now or in the past."
"You are not worthy of this name."
"Then who is worthy, Aogude?"
Marlenia suddenly put away the prosthetic hand blade, directly inserted it back into the lotus, and then sat back on the chair.
"What do you want?"
Ye Long touched the blood mark on his neck and took a deep breath, "Aogude wants to kill me."
Marlenia removed her arm, "Let him kill."
Ye Long held his ground, "Are you just going to ignore this?"
Marlenia glanced at him, "Then who should find my brother?"
"I will find him," Ye Long replied.
Marlenia’s tone was still indifferent, "You won’t find it."
"Can you find it?" Ye Long frowned.
"Can’t find it."
Marlenia said, reaching out absently to a lotus flower nearby, "My brother, Mikayla, was once behind you. You accepted him because of me, but you didn’t protect him."
"Is he weak?"
Ye Long’s eyes narrowed, "I will help you find your brother. This time, I will definitely protect him, so please help me!"
Marlenia still stared blankly at the lotus flower, "You said the same thing before. You were a hundred times stronger then than you are now."
"But you still broke your promise."
Ye Long took a step forward, "Auzo may have broken his promise, but I won’t."
Marlenia said, "Aren’t you Auzo?"
"I am, and I’m not," Ye Long replied.
"A person who can’t protect themselves came to me seeking protection, yet dares to boast about protecting Mikayla here. What do you have to protect with?" Marlenia turned and said.
In that moment, Ye Long’s demeanor suddenly changed.
His eyes emitted a kind of magical power, radiating a fierce and domineering pressure.
"Just because I am the king."
"Valkyrie Marlenia, I promise you with my future, I will bring back Mikayla and ensure his safety."
"And you, shall be my sharp blade!"
Marlenia suddenly smiled, she swiftly put on her artificial hand and grabbed the helmet on the ground, wearing it on her head.
"Mikayla’s Blade will be used by you again."
