Chapter 933 915. The Fireproof Female Exile
“I am the person sent by the Emma Priest of Lothrik to check the situation of the Fire Sacrifice.”
Lan said again He picked up the small flag given to him by Emma, the priest.
Although the other party is a blind girl, as a fire-proof girl who guards the initial flame and the fire-transmitting sacrificial site, who would believe it without supernatural powers?
Sure enough, after Lan En took out the small flag, the fireproof girl seemed to confirm it, clasped her hands in front of her belly and bowed slightly to him.
If you put aside this obviously ancient and antiquated environment, the fire-prevention woman has an excellent appearance and figure.
But in this apocalypse of fire, everything must be sacrificed for the sake of inheriting the flame.
The fireproof girl has a slightly messy but graceful pale braid that hangs down to her lower back.
After she straightened up, she pushed back the braid that had slid down her back.
Lan En also bowed slightly in return.
"The situation is not optimistic." After returning the gift, Lan En talked about what he had seen and heard along the way, his tone solemn.
“King Othroais has gone crazy. He spread experiments in the city that have not been seriously verified at all, hoping to transform his subjects into people who can live in the age without fire. Now the whole There are not many people alive in Lothric. I killed him."
"The hero Guda who was originally scheduled to replace the salary king had an internal agent from the prince's faction in the team escorting him. Guda escaped from trouble. The inner and outer forces cooperated to kill the escort team, and blocked the road in front of the Fire Transfer Sacrifice to prevent anyone from passing through. I also killed him. "
"So far, the former salary king has been awakened by the sound of the bell. Didn't any of them come over yet?"
Under Lan En's description, the fire prevention girl also understood the seriousness of the current situation.
She also became serious.
But with good cultivation and training, she didn't look like an ordinary woman, ugly and at a loss.
On the contrary, it shows a kind of demureness and strength.
She shook her head gently at first, indicating that the situation was indeed extremely bad.
But then, he looked over Lan En's shoulder and looked at one of the five thrones of desire.
"A former salary king has arrived not long ago."
She said softly.
"But there is only one person."
Lan En frowned, then looked in the direction of the fireproof girl's face.
Then in the dim and flickering candlelight, I saw a figure sitting on the throne of desire second from the left.
It's just that the figure is really inconspicuous, short and thin. And there is no breath of living things at all, just like a piece of dried firewood.
That's why Lan Encai didn't notice his presence when he entered the door.
That was a dry little old man whose body was gray and white with death.
Not to mention candidates like Hero Guda who are candidates for salary king. Even the Demon King Osroais, who had given up most of his power and mutated himself, was more powerful than him.
Is this King Xin?
Lan En couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Although so far, the only salary king he has seen is [Sage of the Deep] Eldridge.
But King Xin, who was not known for his combat prowess, had left a deep impression on Lan En with the terrifying and profound nature of his power.
After all, the darkness in his body now is only the product of seeing the essence of Eldridge's power.
Strictly speaking, the other party just let Lan En chop it, and Lan En 'contaminated' himself.
The power of King Xin and the high level of his personality are evident.
But this little old man in front of me?
“If more than three salary kings can sit on the Throne of Desire, then they can still burn themselves in a way that does little harm, continue the initial fire for a short time, and buy precious time for the world. But now.”< br>
The fireproof girl worriedly faced the only person who sat on the Throne of Desire.
“We have been waiting for the other two salary kings to arrive, but judging from the news you brought”
Most likely no other salary king will come.
"What will happen if there are no more Xin Wangs to share the burning damage?"
Lan En asked with a frown.
A salary king has arrived, and it stands to reason that he can activate the Throne of Desire and let him burn slowly.
The reason why the Fire Sacrifice did not do this now, Lan En figured it out after thinking about it for a while.
The Xinwang who can sit on the throne of desire are the candidates to take the top position when the transition period of the Fire Passing Ceremony comes. It is not a one-time consumable, but needs to be awakened and maintained repeatedly.
And in the case where there is only one King of Xin sitting on the throne.
"The King of Xin will completely and gradually burn himself out, even if he is sitting on the desire that can control the burning speed On the throne."
As expected, the words from the fireproof girl's mouth were consistent with Lan En's guess.
The two fell silent for a moment.
"But now there is no other way, right?"
Suddenly, a soft and old voice came from the throne.
It was King Xin who was the only one who rushed to the Fire Sacrifice Ground who was speaking.
The fire girl and Lan En both raised their heads and looked upward.
His voice was smooth and soft, so soft that he did not look like a strong man who had been able to support the operation of the world order, but rather like an ordinary old man telling stories to his younger generations.
"The world is about to sink into darkness. The bottomless, terrifying darkness." "And today, since no one will come again, there is only one thing we can do in the end. Guard the initial flame. "The fireproof girl"
On the throne, the short and thin figure with a shadowy figure said plainly.
Sentenced himself to death.
"Start the ritual and let the world see the light of day again."
".Let me burn."
Lan En looked at the figure on the throne and pursed his lips.
Seeing a person determined to sacrifice himself for a certain goal or a certain person will be shocking no matter what.
In this world where death is regarded as normal, the fire prevention girl just lowered her head and then bowed to the short figure on the throne.
Said that he would obey King Xin’s will.
"I understand, Lord Ludos."
The fireproof girl said softly.
The ritual to initiate the Desire for the Throne is very simple. In the middle of the Fire Sacrifice, there is a large basin filled with some kind of ashes.
There is a spiral sword inserted diagonally in the basin.
The sword looked very rough and crude, like two steel cables twisted together and stretched into a sword shape, and then a handle and a sword grid were added.
But there is only one special thing: even now, as the darkness sinks deeper and deeper, the sword still looks like it has just been taken out of the furnace, revealing a luminous dark red color after the steel has been roasted by the flames.
The fire-proof girl walked to the spiral sword and gently touched the hilt of the spiral sword.
"Poof"*N
Just when the fire-proof girl touched the spiral sword The moment the sword hilt was touched, a series of flames exploded into a large explosion!
The entire fire-passing sacrificial site suddenly became brighter.
Originally there were only a few candles lit around a few people, but there were actually many more in the Fire Transferring Shrine.
But the candle that brings light can not only dispel the darkness, it can not be overwhelmed in the darkness, and it also requires the maintenance of strength.
In this world where the concepts of 'light and darkness' are transformed into real and tangible power, this is the law of operation.
The three people in the Fire Sacrifice can only maintain a small candlelight around them.
But at this moment, all the unlit candles seemed to be supported by some kind of flame power and burned spontaneously!
The old woman who was sitting against the wall and couldn't move, and the sturdy blacksmith who was minding his own business, both stopped their movements at this moment and looked solemnly at the longing throne that was the only one occupied.
All five thrones were activated. The thrones were originally ordinary and looked like simple carvings from ordinary rocks.
Now it emits a dark red light that is like lava between solidification and flow. Among the cracks in the stone material, a scorching red light can still be vaguely seen coming from the cracks.
But all five thrones were activated, but only one had a burning salary king.
Lan En pursed his lips and looked at Ludos on the throne, his thin and short body suddenly tensed up.
At the same time, traces of burning dead branches appeared on the dark green corpse's skin.
A series of burnt-dried cracks spread all over the body, with sparks and red light coming out of the cracks.
It's like a piece of firewood that is burnt on the surface but still burning hot on the inside.
The process of burning oneself must be very painful for King Xin.
Lan En walked along the steps and walked to the side of Ludos' throne.
Each throne is engraved with the name of its owner, and on Rudos' throne it is [Exile of Courland].
He should be called 'Ludos of Courland'.
“Ah, it’s so hot, my bones are burning, it’s so painful. Please help me, kill me. No, no, this is too painful. It’s so hot, please save me.”
The sudden pain seemed to torture the skinny and short old man until he lost consciousness and talked nonsense unconsciously.
"Look, everyone, even if the fire is weak when I become the king, I can still continue the world. So forgive me, forgive me. Don't blame me all the time. Don't."
Even if you made a mistake and became an exile in your hometown, would you still beg for forgiveness from your hometown people?
Perhaps among the four consecutive salary kings, he rushed here not only because of his responsibility as salary king, but also because of his guilt?
Ludos' whole body was tense and trembling, obviously the pain he longed for the throne was too sudden and intense.
And as the fireproof girl said, the price of having only one salary king sitting on the throne of desire is too high.
Ludos sat on the throne, his dangling feet could not reach the ground. Starting from the tips of his toes, wisps of burned white ash were peeling off from above.
He was literally being 'burned clean'.
As for Lan En himself, the hidden darkness that had affected his mind more and more since the sky darkened seemed to be suppressed and became lighter at this time.
The painful murmur of King Xin on the throne gradually stopped. It seemed that Ludos had finally begun to get used to the intense pain.
No matter what his appearance is, he is after all a salary king who can maintain the world. As long as the willpower is strong enough, speaking and acting freely in pain is nothing more than a common thing.
The trembling on his body was gradually suppressed.
Yes, it’s ‘suppression’, not disappearance.
Because Lan En was still watching helplessly, burnt white ash continued to fall from the tip of his toes.
The pain definitely doesn’t stop.
Won't stop until he's burned out.
