Chapter 124 The Bound
“You actually got it!”
At the gate of the manor, Migle took the light blue branch from Wei Miao as if he had found a treasure. As soon as you get started, you start to look at the details such as its wood and texture.
The sacred branch is not as blazing as its own burning flame, but is cool and moist, with a crystal texture.
“It’s really strange. It’s not in the state of being surrounded by divine flames, but it’s far different.”
Migle grunted, nodded to her, and hurriedly entered the manor.
At a glance, Wei Miao could see that a lot of the land in the courtyard had been disturbed recently, judging from the distribution of ashes.
If she and Simon hadn't appeared, and people like Migle were here, maybe in a few years, the world would be able to turn back from the brink of destruction.
After delivering the promised branches, Wei Miao returned to the small building by car.
Ximen was sitting in the living room, his head slightly drooped, his expression indifferent, staring at one point for a long time, thinking about something difficult.
"The cooperation with Migle has come to an end." Wei Miao sat across from him, "Because we seem to have found a complete clearance route."
"The final prompt was actually given by the sacred tree. ." Ximen closed his eyes and took out the black chain he had shown before, "It told me that my physique can allow me to accommodate the core fire types of all major Tuhuo lands, and the existence of the 'Bound Chain' prevents me from doing so. It burns itself like a royal container, but slowly adapts and improves until it can further accommodate another fire, and so on, and finally replaces it and accommodates the final purgatory fire in its body."
"Sure enough. , people have praises and fantasies about the Divine Flame Tree, which have deviated from the direction from the beginning. "
Wei Miao was not surprised by the Divine Tree. The moment she saw the Divine Tree, she was already in her heart. conceived this possibility. Aboriginal people, geniuses like Migler, have been exposed to it since childhood, and it is difficult to escape from the old and customary ideological framework. They fundamentally doubt the significance of the existence of the sacred tree.
But while players play characters, their perspective is transcendent from the copy. After being baptized by various suspense mini-games, they are best able to abandon all preconceived information and doubt everything.
Simon continued: "I prefer the tree of divine flames. Trees and fire are originally separate things, but for some reason, the divine tree had to accommodate the divine flames. The combination of the two gave birth to the tree of divine flames."
Wei Miao improved his reasoning, although most of it was speculation using the power of association: "But the divine flames used trees as fuel, and became more and more powerful as time went by, further gnawing at the sacred trees, and spreading fire all over the world. Force Yong Ye back to the extreme south and start burning the world."
Ximen couldn't help but nodded: "The basic idea now is to suppress the divine flame on the one hand, and Yong Ye on the other. Is it the power to restrain the divine flames? Listening to your words, the divine tree gave Yongye some enlightenment?"
"I saw a throne," Wei Miao described what she saw, "It is located. "In the depths of eternal night."
"The church has no record of this." Ximen crossed his fingers and thought, "This is a hint that only the sacred tree can give...it should be reliable." Letter.”
After all, looking at the state of the sacred tree, it seems that Ga is not far away. It is reasonable to guide Pai Weimiao, the sister of Yongye, to the depths of Yongye.
"The throne has always represented 'control' and 'supreme', and it wants to guide me to sit on that throne. The self-rescue goal is completely believable. It first guides Ximen to swallow fire and become stronger, and the ultimate goal is to replace himself. . Then guide me to control the eternal night and maintain the balance between the final divine flame and the eternal night."
Wei Miao figured out a series of operations of the divine tree.
Ximen asked her opinion: "We should split up?"
Wei Miao: "Why don't you accommodate the pale fire first, and then go with me to the depths of the eternal night. I can return after I succeed. Come and help you deal with Tuhuodi and help each other.”
The above is the most stable approach. There is no time limit for this copy. They can gather all their strength and take their time.
Ximen said goodbye.
He went to Migle's manor in the suburbs and asked for contact with the Pale Fire through the second prince's channels. The royal family was overjoyed when they learned about it. They had long wanted to find a successor to get rid of this hot potato, but the Son of the Flame was closely related, and the Holy Fire Church must know and agree. There followed a period of idle wrangling.
Wei Miao returned to the church and proposed to organize a team to explore the realm of eternal night. The church is happy to support it, and no one wants to be controlled by others. If they can produce the Essence of Eternal Night on their own, they will have more confidence to speak loudly to the Holy Fire Church.
Previously, the two sides used their advantages to develop opposing fields, but in the self-field, Yongye lagged far behind the Holy Fire.

The Land of the Far South·Eternal Night Realm——
A team of fire bearers and a team of night watchers walked clearly on the cold sand.
The light of the divine flame cannot penetrate into the realm of eternal night, the swaying ashes are blocked out, and the darkness all day long obscures everyone's sight. Coldness is the eternal tone here, and all kinds of vague roars can be heard from time to time.
In the past, when the Night Watch team came to explore, they had to hold torches and their combat power was limited. Now there is a team of human-shaped torches, and the little heat brought by them can be selectively ignored.
Ximen was uncharacteristically wearing a loose red robe and walked silently beside Wei Miao.
She keenly sensed that the heat radiating from him had reached a higher level, and she actually felt that the fire was close at hand. This was inconsistent with his usual restrained strength, and occasionally a wisp of white flames came out from the tip of his nose.
Because he has recently successfully contained the pale fire, he has not yet completely controlled this power, causing the energy to leak out.
Under the red robe, his whole body was tightly bound with slender black iron chains, covering all his limbs, but they did not affect his movement, and instead tightened his loose clothes.
When he disappeared from Wei Miao's field of vision for a while and reappeared, he was even more taciturn, and his sculpture-like frozen face was covered with a layer of gloom.
Wei Miao has been dealing with him for these days, and can at least observe his emotions. He is trying to control his temper and gloominess, and his eyes are a bit like an anti-social murderer. After this period of adjustment, the state has returned a little.
The Fire Bearers all know that their leader is not normal these days, and only Sister Yongye dares to approach him as if nothing has happened.
“How do you feel?”
Wei Miao saw clusters of flames sprouting from the end of his nose like sneezing, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he felt that the merit of this smile had been lost in ten years.
This person is suffering in order to save the world! He said the pain was about the same as being kicked in the crotch.
"The pain of burning my body didn't drive my previous predecessor crazy. I will only persist longer than him...but it will take some time to get used to it."
Simon rolled his eyes, He gave her a cold look.
There were so many words... Wei Miao felt that he was not far from being driven crazy.
In the past, he should have only said "it's okay". The previous royal carrier was said to have a tendency to kill creatures and self-mutilate.
The "disadvantage" of Masquerade's mechanism is clearly reflected here. The key is that in order to clear the copy, players are willing to take the pain.
I believe that with the passage of time and refinement, more and more people like them will be guided by the mechanism and become real players defined by the game.
