Wizard: Adventures in Two Worlds-Chapter 383 - 150 Dark Market

"Hmm..."

Yana struggled to open her eyes. A simple wooden canopy caught her gaze, bringing a familiar scene and a hint of daze to her expression.

"When we were young, the people in the Holy Hall built this place for us to live in. I’ve never forgotten it."

A gentle, calming voice sounded beside her ear.

"They weren’t sure if we could adapt to the Bloodline of Pale Wings, so the dwelling was very simple. Only after we moved to the training ground at the age of seven did the environment improve."

"You remember, don’t you?"

Yana propped herself up and looked toward the woman not far away.

The woman had beautiful blonde hair, delicate features, smooth skin, and sparkling eyes.

This was a woman impeccable in appearance, figure, and even strength.

Next to her, there lay a pitch-black Great Sword.

"It’s you."

Yana’s expression was complex.

"Sister Milia."

She certainly recognized the other, once the most famous sword master among the Desecration Knights, who ultimately betrayed the Holy Hall.

Now she was fifth on the Holy Hall’s most wanted list.

Black Sword Milia!

It was she who had taught her how to hold a sword, how to kill an enemy.

"You still recognize me as your sister."

Milia tilted her head, smiling charmingly. That universally seductive smile caused Yana to feel somewhat dazed again.

Hmm? Why am I so easily dazed?

Her expression hardened as she instinctively grabbed the Great Sword beside her.

"Your emotional fluctuations are intense, but they have nothing to do with me. It’s because you accidentally broke the restraint in your Bloodline."

Milia spoke in an even tone, "Now, carefully feel your own body."

Yana struggled to her feet. Instead of checking her body, she asked, "How is the Guardian?"

"The Guardian..." Milia’s eyes flickered. "He’s fine."

"His methods are very strange, completely different from what I imagined, but... equally powerful."

She lifted her right hand.

On her arm, there was a distinct burn wound that even a body with the Evil God Bloodline could not easily heal.

The Guardian is fine?

Upon hearing this, Yana felt relieved and finally focused on herself. Her expression suddenly darkened.

She could feel a mighty energy surging and swirling inside her, so intense that her physical body could hardly bear it.

She was very weak now.

Her limbs were limp and powerless, her emotions fluctuated wildly, and even picking up the Great Sword beside her was a struggle.

But she was also very powerful.

The energy inside her far exceeded anything before, capable of unleashing astonishing power if driven by her emotions.

"Your condition right now is critical."

Milia spoke earnestly, "The first generation of Desecration Knights had serious flaws. Once the Bloodline goes out of control, you either die on the spot or turn into a monster. Most sisters can’t escape this fate."

"However..."

"If you can accept the Bloodline within you, you might also have a chance to truly control it, like I do."

Touching the Black Sword beside her, Milia continued, "Your potential is great. If you can get through this, your future strength may surpass mine."

"Accept?" Yana’s voice was hoarse. "How can I accept?"

"It’s simple." Milia chuckled. "The Bloodline within us comes from the Evil God Pale Wings, and He was a War Angel who betrayed the goddess."

"To accept, to approve of what He did, is to accept the Bloodline within us."

"That’s impossible!" Yana growled. "It’s betrayal!"

"It’s sacrilege!"

"We are already Desecration Knights; our Bloodline comes from a traitor." Milia narrowed her eyes. "And..."

"Do you think the Holy Hall is still worth our protection?"

"They adopt female infants everywhere, claiming it’s charity, but we all know what they’re actually doing."

"Of dozens of female infants, hardly one survives. Desecration Knights are merely pawns in their hands. And now that they have found better pawns, we were the ones they abandoned first." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"No!" Yana shook her head. "I guard the goddess, not the Holy Temple Knights."

"What’s the difference?" Milia shrugged. "Before the goddess fell, she entrusted everything to the Holy Temple Knights. They represent the divine will."

"You’re wrong!" Yana still shook her head. "The Guardian is the representative of the divine will."

"Yana." Milia sighed. "I have been in Jiliu City all this time. The Guardian you speak of may not believe in the goddess."

"Otherwise, why doesn’t he ever go to the Holy Hall?"

Yana went silent.

Perhaps Milia was merely speculating, but having been with Carl for a long time, Yana knew well that Carl had no devout faith.

Not just in the goddess.

He was a non-believer!

No! Unlike typical non-believers, who fear the might of gods, Carl did not show such reverence.

It was more like curiosity.

Curiosity about why gods are powerful.

Peering into the secrets of the Divine—this in itself was a form of sacrilege!

「Fragments of the Divine Realm.」

Carl sat upon a stone chair.

In front of him, Boken’s memories were divided into several parts, revealing themselves one by one under the movement of tentacles.

The Abyss Giant Squid possessed the innate ability to devour other souls, naturally having the instinct to analyze memories.

Combined with Carl’s absolute rationality, finding useful things after his Bloodline awakening was not hard.

Milia!

The Holy Hall’s betrayer, and also the wielder of the Black Sword, she had tempted Desecration Knights to escape from the Holy Hall multiple times.

Her Black Sword, having wounded a Divine and been stained with Divine Blood afterward, possessed an unstoppable special ability.

"So..."

"Yana ending up in her hands means there’s a high chance she’ll be swayed, but there’s no need to worry about her safety."
