The flame disappeared, but the traces it left behind did not disappear. The ground was burned by this terrifying flame, revealing black scorched earth.
The True Flame was a type of flame with a lifespan. It was not like ordinary flames that could keep burning as long as the conditions were met. It only took a short one or two minutes from birth to burning out. As for the reason, even the Demon King Richard, who had studied it for hundreds of years, did not know. He could only explain it as some kind of law.
"What language is this?"
After a while, Greer and the others dared to approach. They also knew how powerful the flame was. They would definitely die if they touched it.
"I'm not sure. Maybe it's a language created by a mage."
Lilith frowned. She crouched down and touched the still intact manhole cover. The words on it quickly disappeared, only lasting for a few dozen seconds.
However, at this moment, the Demon King not far away opened his eyes wide, revealing a shocked expression.
This was impossible! What was going on! How could this world have such a language?
The Demon King Richard frowned.
This was a language he created three hundred years ago. It was called the Richard language. This was a combination of the ancient elven language, the ancient human language, and the essence of the origin symbols. It was a language created specifically for magic.
There were no more than ten people who had created this language. Because of some accident, the Demon King Richard sealed this language. It was reasonable to say that it should not have spread.
However, this language that should not have appeared in this world had appeared.
It seemed that there was a need to investigate properly.
…
"Master? Are you thinking about something? "
Reina raised her head. It was precisely because the Demon King Richard was ignoring her that she looked like she was about to cry.
"Ah? What's wrong? "
The Demon King came back to his senses. His attention had been distracted by the clone, so he was in a daze.
Reina immediately recovered her smile. She held up a curved leaf and said, "Master, look!"
Perhaps this curved leaf was unremarkable, but in the Demon King's eyes, it was simply a miracle.
He sized up the girl's face.
This girl's comprehension of magic was very high.
"Well done. I didn't expect you to improve so much in just a few days. Not bad, but don't relax. Keep up the good work."
He patted Reina's head approvingly, and Reina looked like she was enjoying it.
"Alright."
She eagerly went back to cultivate. The Demon King looked at her petite figure and fell into deep thought.
Are the things I taught her really suitable for her?
…
The mysterious words, the manhole cover that could not be opened, and the clues that could not be solved. All kinds of troubles flooded Lilith's mind, making it impossible for her to read in peace.
It seemed to be very quiet tonight, but she didn't stop reading.
No, it was too quiet.
She raised her head and glanced at her companions. Greer was still cleaning his two swords, which seemed to be more important than his life.
Oro yawned and stood guard in front of the bonfire. He was like a rubber ball that would not budge unless pushed.
Dodoro was lying on the bed, scratching his back with his legs crossed. He seemed to be playing with something, probably something he stole from somewhere.
Yes, he's the most suspicious one.
Lilith looked at Lin Chade, who was sitting in the dark. His mouth wasn't sealed, but his hands were bound with magic handcuffs.
Why is he so quiet? Strange.
The Demon King and Richard sensed her gaze and turned to look at her. Lilith quickly looked away and pretended to be reading.
Strange. Shouldn't they be complaining about this and that at this time? She was annoyed, but the fact that no one was talking made her uneasy.
She pretended to cough. "The rabbit Dodoro hunted today was delicious."
It was like throwing a stone into a bottomless pit. There was no response at all. The other three did not react at all, which made Lilith, the captain, feel very embarrassed.
"By the way, Oro, do you remember the spell you mentioned last time that can make the fire burn longer? I just need to add a little bit of — "
"No, thank you," Oro cut her off. It was rare for him to do that.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, returning to a state of absolute silence.
Lilith frowned. "What's wrong with you guys tonight? You're all so lifeless. We're all companions. If there's anything, just say it and we can discuss it together. "
"But you didn't say anything," Oro muttered.
"What did you say?" Lilith glared at him. Oro lowered his head.
"Nothing."
He said indifferently.
Lilith stood up with her hands on her hips. She was about to have a good talk with Oro when Grier suddenly spoke up. "He's right."
"What do you mean? Do you think I'm hiding everything from you? "
Lilith felt that it was a little unreasonable.
Greer wiped the sword in his hand and said indifferently, "Who knows? At least you didn't say anything about our current situation."
"He failed today as well," Oro added.
"I know! How many times have I told you? I'll find a way! "Lilith said impatiently.
"How? How do you know it won't work? And why do you believe that thing's words are the key to unlocking the seal? "Grier suddenly put down his sword.
"And how long do we have to stay in this godforsaken place?" Oro added.
Lilith sighed. "Don't you guys trust me that much?"
"I don't know much about magic, so I don't know how hard it is to break the seal. But I do know that if we continue to mess around like we did today, or if you go berserk again, we will all die here!"
Grier said fiercely.
As the oldest person in the team, he rarely lost his temper like this.
Lilith gritted her teeth and turned her face. "If you're afraid, you can go back now. I won't stop you."
"What's the point of saying such depressing words? I'm just reminding you that if you can't unlock it, we'll just be wasting our time here. It's better to go back to the town and see if there's any damned magic or witchcraft that can unlock this damned seal!"
Grier's voice was particularly loud in the quiet ruins. For some reason, the darkness here was scarier than elsewhere, as if something was hiding inside.
Lilith shook her head. "We definitely can't go back."
Greer found it a little unreasonable and said, "Why? Are we going to be trapped here? "
"No." Lilith gritted her teeth, her expression a little ugly.
"If we don't bring the Tear of God back, we'll be hunted down by the empire."
The three of them stared at her in shock. Even Dodoro, who was sleeping on the bed, jumped up from his bed.
"What? Tell us more! "
Dodoro asked.
"In other words, we can only succeed, not fail."
The light from the fire illuminated the right side of Lilith's face, so they could only see the side of her face.
"I should have guessed that there was something wrong with this ridiculously high remuneration. You really were hiding something." Grier shook his head and sat back down.
"No! No way! I don't want to die! "Oro was on the verge of breaking down, clutching his head as he yelled.
"I shouldn't have come here if I knew this was going to happen. You damned magic nerd! How could you hide something so important from us? "Dodoro asked.
Just as the team was about to fall apart, a cold voice came from the darkness. "If you want to unlock the seal, I have a way."
The four immediately quieted down. They looked at the source of the voice and saw the Demon King, Richard, sitting on a rock and looking at them with a faint smile on his face.
