"My mother once said that anything that shines is a treasure," said the soldier with the freckles on his face.
Another soldier sneered, "So your bed is full of glass shards? Those things can also shine. "
"No, glass needs the refraction of light to shine. But look at that. Damn it, even the moonlight doesn't shine on that place. Tell me, what kind of glass can shine in the dark? "
The soldiers fell silent. The freckled soldier said, "I'll go over and take a look. If it's a gem, then Qiang En, you can fuck a woman like Luo Wei, and we can drink a lot of wine, the best in the Old Sam Tavern! "
"I'll go too." The soldier named Qiang En echoed. Clearly, his colleague's proposal was very tempting.
"Alright, you guys go over quietly. We'll keep watch here. In case Lord Daron asks, someone will send him away. "
Two soldiers took a long rope and tied one end to the wall and the other end to the foot of the wall. The defensive wall of Flame Light City was six meters tall. If they didn't use tools, they wouldn't die if they fell like this, but they would inevitably suffer. After getting ready, the soldiers slid down the wall along the rope. They chose a relatively remote place on the other side of the defensive wall to ensure that they wouldn't be seen by the other soldiers on night duty. After all, the more people who knew, the less spoils there would be.
It took Qiang En and the spotted soldier ten minutes to climb up the low slope and find it in a clump of grass. The spotted soldier was very sure that it was a gem, or at least a fragment of a gem. Otherwise, this irregular crystal wouldn't have glowed on its own. Its faint blue light illuminated two overjoyed faces, but …
"It's really cold." Qiang En planned to tear off a corner of his clothes to wrap the thing in his hand. It was cold.
The spotted soldier said excitedly, "It's much colder. Gems are cold. Why don't I take it …"
Qiang En laughed and scolded, "Why are you in such a hurry? It's as if I'm going to take it for myself. Eh … "He suddenly saw a pair of grayish-white hands covered in mud stretch out from the darkness behind the spotted face. Then he covered the spotted face's mouth with one hand and inserted his sharp nails into the soldier's neck with the other. With another tear, warm blood sprayed from his colleague's neck onto Qiang En's face. Qiang En could even see his colleague's violently beating blood vessels!
"Ah! No! "Qiang En stood up. The light from the gem in his hand flowed out and illuminated the murderer's face. It was an ugly, misshapen face. Its eyes were unusually large, and it had no nose. Its mouth was crooked to one side without lips, but every wrinkle on that strange face was filled with malice. Qiang En hurriedly slid down the slope. When he reached the bottom of the slope, he rolled on the ground and stood up. Then, he ran for his life.
As he ran, he looked back and saw that the body of the spotted face was slanting. The strange man chased after him. Behind it, on the low slope, more and more black shadows emerged from the shadows. They chased down the slope. Those round eyes shot out a terrifying light. Johnny couldn't help but groan, "What kind of monsters are these!"
"Look, Qiang En is back?"
"Hey, where's Donnie?"
"Look over there, something is following Qiang En. What the hell, is it a wolf? "
"Wait, what are those weird things?"
The few remaining soldiers on the wall realized that something was wrong and instinctively set up their muskets. Qiang En ran to the back, grabbed the gem to his chest, and climbed up the rope in panic. At this moment, the nearest monster was less than ten meters away. He howled, "Shoot! Shoot! "
The soldiers on the wall seemed to wake up from a dream. They didn't care if the gunshots would cause trouble for them. They cursed and aimed at the monster at the front. At the same time as the gunshots rang out, the monster was shot in the head and rolled on the ground for a while, but there were many monsters like it behind it.
That night, the cavemen attacked Flame Light City. Gunshots and shouts rang out all night, and the flames of Flame Light City had never been so bright. The flames of war rising around the city walls almost ignited the sky.
Allen also saw the flames.
At this moment, he was in the Will Void. The Void Volcano was above his head, and he was exploring the depths of the Void. Just like that night in Frost Wind City, when he went deep into the Void, he saw dark red magma coming at him. This time, he was mentally prepared. He narrowed his eyes and crashed into the magma in the blink of an eye. Then he could feel that his body was undergoing some mysterious change. The flames burned him, and everything tangible in his body turned to ash. He was like a butterfly breaking out of its cocoon, finally becoming a part of the flames.
An indescribable joy rose from the depths of his heart, as if a wanderer had returned to his homeland. Flames and magma were his home. He passed through the flames and magma, and what entered his field of vision was a boiling sea of flames. The sea of flames had no end, and from time to time, hot magma spewed out from the sea. Poisonous smoke rose here, and the heat was scorching. But Allen didn't feel afraid. Instead, he felt comfortable as if he had returned to his mother's womb.
He no longer had a body here, just a ball of burning flames. But he still imagined himself curling up like a baby and falling naturally into the sea of flames. When he fell into the sea of flames, the whole world sang. The rising flames were an ode, and the song instantly spread throughout the universe. Of the hundreds of millions of living beings in the Nine Star Domains, only a few people could sense the subtle change.
In the deepest part of the chaotic battlefield, east of the Agares Sea of Blood, at the end of the sky and the earth stood a pitch-black castle. A storm was washing over the castle, and the poisonous rain slid down the straight, curved, and ferocious iron spikes on the castle. They dripped onto the statues of the gargoyles, gathered on the ground, and flowed into the ditch.
The main hall of the castle was dimly lit. On the throne made of black steel, Frius opened his eyes. When his eyes lit up, the flames in the two braziers on his left and right lit up the entire hall. The door suddenly opened, and Fire Demon Berukai, who had once presided over the Death Star Plan, flashed in. He looked at the high-burning flames in horror and said with a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, this is …"
"Nothing, just a dream." Frius waved his hand, and the flames in the brazier dimmed again.
"Dream?" Berukai didn't know what kind of dream would awaken the Black Emperor from his slumber, and even release a terrifying Origin Energy out of control, causing more than 80% of the slaves in Dark Castle to die in an instant. Of course, he wasn't stupid enough to ask, and Frius wouldn't tell him. So the fire demon retreated and carefully closed the door for the emperor.
Frius did have a dream. In that dream, he had already cut off Spenak's head. However, all of a sudden, the entire world began to burn. Everything spat out flames, and in the sea of flames where there was nowhere to hide, even someone as tyrannical as him was burned to ashes.
"Ridiculous." He said, then closed his eyes again.
Frius had thought of many things, but he had never thought that he would be destroyed. Even Orfasis himself could not have done it. That was not going to happen.
However, he didn't know that when he opened his eyes, on the other side of the sea of blood, in the ancient Imperial City where Demon King Spenak was located, a steel coffin that was suspended in the air by eighteen pitch-black chains was constantly vibrating under the deepest abyss of a thousand meters. Suddenly, the lid of the black iron coffin soared into the sky. The coffin was filled with a bloody light, and it was filled with dark red blood.
Then, amidst the blood, a palm covered in ferocious iron armor stretched out. On this day, Spenak, who had been sleeping for hundreds of years, woke up and soon announced that he would crusade against Frius, who had betrayed him. The civil war between the two Sovereigns of Agares was imminent.
Return to Allen's will void.
In the depths of the sea of flames, Allen was still sinking. He could vaguely feel that something was summoning him there. He looked over, his gaze piercing through the sea and flames, landing on a burning trench that was constantly spewing out raging flames. Suddenly, his field of vision was pulled infinitely far away. Only then did Allen realize that it was not a trench, but a line. It was a pattern on a gigantic figure, and there were many patterns like this one, so many that they were uncountable.
Then, a blazing sun rose above his head. Allen narrowed his eyes and looked at it. A brown stripe appeared in the blazing sun. Then he realized that it was not a sun, but an eye!
His body trembled violently. When he regained his senses, he saw Lucy with a shocked expression, and Regis and the others beside her. The expressions on their faces were very strange. Allen opened his mouth and said in a hoarse voice, "What's wrong with you?"
Seeing him speak, Lucy looked relieved. She smiled bitterly and said, "This should be our question to you. Look, your tent has been burned down. "
Allen looked around. Sure enough, his field of vision was wide, and he should have been in his tent. After leaving Dragon Spear Town, dozens of throwers, including Pyle, joined Allen's team. Nominally, they were following the caravan to Oliska, but in reality, Allen knew that they were trying to supplement their lack of guards. According to their original plan, they had to go from Dragon Spear Town to Liquor Town, then pass through Flame Light City and change to the Devil's Throat. However, the Highblue Race knew a shortcut to pass through the Devil's Throat, and now, Allen and the caravan were in the forest that Pyle and the others called a "mystic realm."
When night fell, they slept in the mystic realm. Allen meditated to refine his Origin Energy and successfully entered the Will Void. He wanted to explore the mysteries of the depths of the will like last time, but unexpectedly, after he entered the sea of flames, the temperature in the camp soared, and even Allen's tent began to burn. Lucy and the others were worried that something would happen to him, so they woke him up.
Only then did Allen know the cause and effect, but the experience in the depths of his will became blurry again, as if he had had a long dream. But when he woke up, he could no longer remember the contents of the dream. Allen only remembered the boundless sea of flames, as well as the giant figure with the trench lines and sun-like eyes.
