"Brother-in-law, what's going on?" Hongyan asked Li Huailin as she drank some water after Madot left.
"Didn't I say that I'm here for a mission? The person I'm looking for is Madot," Li Huailin said. "Didn't you see the name above his head just now?"
"Eh? I didn't notice it at all. " Hongyan drank some water and said, "So this is the Madot you're looking for? Why does he look so disgusting?"
"What can I do? How would I know that the Evil Demons look so casual?" Li Huailin couldn't stand it either.
"Evil Demons?" Ceci was stunned when she heard the words' Evil Demons'. She recalled what Li Huailin asked her about the Evil Demons. "Huailin, are you looking for the Evil Demons?"
"Yeah, there are some situations that require the help of the Evil Demons," Li Huailin said.
"That's very dangerous. The Evil Demons are considered a taboo on the entire continent. Won't the Protoss resent us?" Ceci asked worriedly.
"I know, but there's no way to avoid it." Li Huailin spread out his hands. "Anyway, I don't want to look for them, but there's nothing I can do. By the way, Ceci, why don't you go back with Gloria first? It's quite troublesome for you to get involved in this matter."
"No, no, no. This is about the Evil Demons. There hasn't been any news about the Evil Demons for thousands of years. Most people have forgotten about the existence of the Evil Demons. If I write a book about the Evil Demons, it will definitely sell well," Ceci said excitedly.
"Ugh …" Is this the reaction he got? Isn't he afraid of being killed by the Protoss by writing a book about the Evil Demons? However, after thinking about it, Li Huailin realized that Ceci would not be able to write a book that fast. He had to settle the matter with the Protoss within a month. Therefore, whether Ceci wrote a book about the Evil Demons or not would not affect Li Huailin at all.
"But this won't cause you any trouble, right?" Ceci asked Li Huailin after realizing the problem after the excitement.
"It's no trouble. If I'm afraid, why would I look for the Evil Demons? If you want to write, then write," Li Huailin said. "If that's the case, follow me."
The two of them supported Gloria and continued to walk up the stairs. They could no longer see Madot in front of them. He had probably reached the top long ago. They were a little slow with the unconscious Gloria, but after walking for a while, Gloria woke up on her own.
"Ah!" Gloria, who just woke up, screamed, "No!"
"Hey, wake up," Li Huailin said quickly.
"Ugh … oh …" Seeing that it was Li Huailin, Gloria unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that she was saved. However, she immediately said, "I just saw the man-eating monster. How is it now?"
"The man-eating monster, Madot?" Li Huailin asked. "Ugh … it turns out to be this guy. That's great. We're going to see him now."
"Huh? He's up there? "Gloria looked up." Can we beat him? "
"So, there's no war at all. Let's go up and take on a mission, okay?" Li Huailin said.
"Take on a mission? The monster's mission? "Gloria was stunned.
"He is the Madot I'm looking for, okay?"
"Huh?" Gloria was stunned. "You … the Madot you're looking for is him? The man-eating monster? "
"Yeah." Li Huailin nodded.
"You … why are you looking for this monster?" Gloria asked in surprise.
"You prophesied it yourself." Li Huailin was too lazy to explain and walked straight up. Gloria had no choice. Although she was a little scared, she still followed him in the end. Now that she was asked to go down alone, of course, she refused, so she could only follow him.
After spending a little time, Li Huailin and the others finally walked along the stone steps to the top of the Bahaier Fire-Gathering Tower. As Ceci said before, the top of the Bahaier Fire-Gathering Tower was indeed a place similar to a lighthouse. The first thing that Li Huailin noticed when he walked up was the huge brazier in the middle.
The top of the tower was like a platform, and in the middle of the platform was a huge brazier. This brazier occupied almost all the space on the top, leaving only a small aisle around it. The top of the tower was sealed, but there were no surrounding walls to block it. The light from the burning brazier could be easily seen from a distance. It was still daytime now, but it could probably be seen from far away at night.
However, what made Li Huailin feel a little strange was that when he came before, he specifically looked at the top of the tower. There were no flames at the top of the tower, and he didn't know whether it was just lit or not. After taking a closer look, the flames were really strange because when Li Huailin looked inside, he found that there was no fuel in the brazier.
Yes, generally speaking, it should be filled with all kinds of things like firewood, but there was nothing in this brazier other than flames. It was unknown what this huge flame was burning on, but it felt like it appeared out of thin air.
Taking a closer look at the flame, it was a little strange. Although the color was no different from normal flames, the way it was burning didn't seem right. It felt like the flame was burning in circles, and there didn't seem to be any smoke of life. Not only that, but the burning sound was also inexplicably strange. Li Huailin felt like he could vaguely hear something similar to a scream, but it wasn't very clear. He didn't know if it was the sound of the wind or something else.
"This fire …" Ceci seemed to be attracted by the flame as well. She curiously walked to the side of the flame and reached out to touch the flame. Of course, Li Huailin didn't notice this situation, but when Ceci's hand was about to touch the flame, a voice came from above their heads. "If I were you, I wouldn't put my hand in it."
The sudden voice startled Ceci. Of course, it also woke her up. She looked at her hand and felt a little scared. Why did she want to put her hand in it? It was simply courting death.
Li Huailin also looked up. Of course, when he heard the voice, he knew it was Madort. He was hanging on the ceiling, and his lower body was stuck to the ceiling like a slime. His position was also right above the brazier.
"Hey, hey, aren't you hot?" Li Huailin couldn't help but ask. He was practically roasting himself like roasted meat. No wonder his skin was so dark. Was it really not roasted?
"Look at this flame. This is what I want to show you." Madort ignored Li Huailin's question and looked at the flame below. "Don't you feel like you're about to be attracted by this flame?"
"Eh?" Li Huailin looked at the flame again. Although it was a little strange, it was too exaggerated to say that he was attracted. "Really? I don't think so. "
"That's why I said that you adventurers are really strange things," Madort said.
"It's a little strange, Huailin. I almost put my hand in it just now, and I didn't even realize it," Ceci said.
"Oh? Really? In other words, this brazier has the power to attract people? Really? "Li Huailin said." But it's not useful for adventurers? Are you looking at it while drinking water? "
"Uh … It doesn't seem special, but I just feel uncomfortable looking at it," Hongyan said while drinking water.
"That's it, right?" Li Huailin nodded, then looked at Gloria. "How are you?"
"Sigh … Me too." Gloria mainly paid attention to the feeling of Madot, who was above her head.
"See, it doesn't work on all NPCs," Li Huailin said as he spread his hands.
"What?" Madort frowned and looked at Gloria carefully. "Strange, why aren't you attracted to this flame?"
"Eh? I … "Gloria, who was originally very afraid of this guy, immediately became worried when she saw Madot looking at her. She ran behind Li Huailin.
"It's not that you care what's going on with her. Can you get to the point quickly? I'm already here, okay? Can you stop wasting time?" Li Huailin said.
"What I want to say is related to this flame," Madort said. "You should know that the flame here isn't ordinary, right?"
"So this is the flame you used to control those corpses?" Li Huailin asked after some thought.
"That's just one of its functions," Madort said with a smile. Madot smiled and said, "Do you know what fuels these flames?"
"Uh … What?"
"It's the soul," Madort said with a sly smile. Madort smiled slyly. "Don't think that it's just a ball of flame. I've always thought that it has a life of its own. It can attract ignorant humans to it, feed it, and finally absorb their souls as fuel. Isn't this similar to a living creature?"
"Uh … You're saying that this flame can eat souls?" Li Huailin was a little surprised.
"You can say that." Madort nodded.
"So that's to say that there really was a country called Keboral, and their citizens were devoured by this flame and used as fuel?" Ceci asked from the side.
"I don't know what you're talking about. It was only a year ago when I came here," Madort said. "When I first discovered the flame, it was only a small flame. Now, it has grown to this size. The reason is, of course, because I provided it with a lot of 'fuel'."
"So your mission is to get us to help you find some 'fuel'?" Li Huailin asked.
"No, no, no," Madort said immediately. "I can't wait anymore. I want to eat it."
"Huh? Eat who? This flame? "Li Huailin was stunned.
