"Why don't you leave?" Changqing looked at the bonfire captain in confusion.
The bonfire captain put the torch back into the bonfire beneath him, holding up the buckler that had been blackened by the flames with both hands.
Changqing walked over and said, "I want this shield, but you don't have to give it to me now. You can give it to me after I take you home."
The bonfire captain insisted on holding it forward.
"Take it." Andele also walked over, "He won't go back."
"Why?" Changqing took the shield and said: "Don't be afraid of burning the mountains and forests, my sword will can..."
Before he finished speaking, the body of the bonfire captain turned into ashes and scattered in the wind.
The bonfire that had been burning for countless years finally burned up the captain.
Changqing already knew it without Andele's explanation.
He was unable to go back.
The experience of Wuyuetian made Changqing and Xu Wenxin feel heavy again.
The bonfire was gradually extinguishing, and Changqing picked up one of the firewood and used it as a torch.
Using the power of Dao thoughts to connect the Dao, the flame of the torch will continue to shine, continuing to shine on the surrounding soldiers.
"They won't follow you." Andele whispered: "Their family members may have died long ago. Even if they are still alive, they will not be able to see their families in their current appearance. The Forgotten Clan will soon be completely cursed by corruption. Those who corrode must stay away from the group and self-exile..."
Changqing's face tightened and she took a deep breath.
He reached out and pulled out the tears of the previous tree man, and said with a heavy heart: "I may have done something wrong..."
As Chang Qing told him, Andier also learned about the tree man who was turned into gold by Chang Qing.
Andele said: "She wanted to leave the sacred tree world, but in the last step, she was completely corrupted. You gave her real relief, if you can..."
Andele looked at the soldiers.
"Why?" Changqing understood what Andiel meant, but he didn't understand why he did this.
Andele's voice was not sad, still soft and lonely, "They can't wait for that day to come. For them, this is the best relief. Becoming a real 'statue' will be the same as becoming a magic weapon. We will always remember that they have been here. Compared with 'returning' to nature, even if there is no ideological suffering, this kind of 'leaving' without sadness is a better ending."
The afterglow of the bonfire kept shining, as if like Andel, it seemed to be pleading.
"I see."
Changqing spoke, pretending to be relaxed and asked the soldiers to stand in their positions, and used the "Midas to Gold" technique to freeze their final protective posture forever.
After walking out of the bonfire camp again, Changqing began to look at the shield.
Following the traces of grasping, Changqing discovered that there was a golden light shining under the shield.
He stretched out his hand to wipe the ashes on it, and a golden and delicate shield illuminated Changqing's eyes.
This golden light is like those gold sculptures.
"This..." Changqing became confused. If he remembered correctly, when he first took over the shield, the real color of the shield should be dim bronze.
"This is the only magic weapon that is not in the hands of demigods." Andel said, seeming to imply: "The reason why the magic weapon is powerful is not because it is powerful in itself, but because it is in the hands of demigods." inside."
Changqing seemed to understand this sentence, and Changqing intuitively believed that this sentence was very important.
In an instant, Changqing looked at Andiel's eyes, full of distrust.
"I already believe you!" Changqing frowned.
Andel apologized slightly and stepped back again, her figure returning to the darkness again.
"What's going on?" Xu Wenxin realized later.
Changqing looked at the shield, looked at the camp that had no bonfires, looked at the soldiers, and sighed: "This Aundair is simply a huge pit!"
"Ah?" Xu Wenxin heard a new description.
"If I directly kill the soldier captain and take away the shield, the shield will be just scrap metal! If I use this scrap metal to find General Tianchen, I will definitely return to ruins!"
Xu Wenxin couldn't help covering her mouth and exclaimed.
Returning to the ruins and becoming an ordinary monk is equivalent to death.
"The reason why the divine weapon is powerful is not because it is powerful in itself, but because it is in the hands of demigods."
"The gluttons here can be made into magic weapons..."
"This shield is a magic weapon for the captain of the bonfire soldiers. The captain of the bonfire soldiers just handed the shield to me. It should be his 'will' that has been integrated into this shield, so that this shield is in my hand. Became a magic weapon."
Following Changqing's explanation, Xu Wenxin understood.
No wonder Changqing would say that to Andele.
"Being turned into gold is 'the same' as becoming a magic weapon. In fact, from our point of view, it is definitely different. Now I know that we cannot be 'perfect'. It is Andel who 'completes the perfection'."
Xu Wenxin was thoughtful.
Changqing fiddled with the shield. The golden round shield was very light in his hand. Changqing tried to flick it with more force, but the shock made his fingers numb.
"This thing is so small, what can it block?"
To be honest, Changqing was a little disappointed with this shield.
Judging from Chang Qing's experience, the glutton's attacks are much stronger and have a wider range than ordinary monks. This shield is only as big as a washbasin, can it only protect his head?
What's the use of just protecting your head?
"Let's go and give it a try on the road."
Changqing did not put away the shield, but walked towards the depths of the dense forest with it.
"Do you know where to go?" Xu Wenxin returned to the cabin.
"The wandering Forgotten Andel is different from the Forgotten like Milly, and her guidance is also different. This may be because she is also a demigod, and she is reluctant to guide us. The homes of these soldiers are where we are going. direction."
Evergreen's voice gradually moved away from the bonfire camp.
Beside the bonfire camp, Andele walked out of the darkness. She stared at the golden sculpture blankly. She did not look back to lock onto Evergreen, but murmured: "The King of Gold..."
…
Star City.
With buildings of different styles, the entire city is like a solid war castle.
The wind and frost of the years did not crush this city, but made it exude an unyielding will.
At this time, Fanxing City was very lively.
Millie led the destined man and caused a great sensation in the city.
In the streets and alleys, the civilians of the Forgotten Clan cheered excitedly and ran to tell each other.
The soldiers in the city were also encouraged.
"Lord Sikong Yi is here to rescue us!"
“He brought sweet, pure water and delicious food!”
"Lord Sikong Yi will definitely become the new King of Bronze!"
This kind of call is resounding everywhere in the entire Star City.
In the temple in the city, Sikong Yi stood under the sculptures of his ancestors, enjoying the support of the indigenous people.
He had a worried look on his face. First of all, he knew all the arrangements of his family in the Divine Tree Realm from his clan, and knew how difficult it would be to get to the royal court from here and obtain the bronze crown from the lost ancestor. Even if he uses these forgotten people, it may not be possible for him to reach the royal court smoothly.
The red sand desert far outside the city is the first difficulty he has to face, General Tianchen!
Secondly, he prevented Milly from sending other Forgotten Ones to fetch Evergreen. Every pioneer has a dedicated Forgotten guide. He wanted Changqing to run around in confusion in the sacred tree world, but...
Milly told him that the dead tree at the cliff turned out to be a Forgotten One! Although the Forgotten One is unable to guide him, he will guide the directionless pioneers to the wandering Forgotten One.
A wandering Forgotten, ostracized by the Forgotten Clan, the one named Aundair is also known as an ominous omen. Even for the Forgotten Clan, a pioneer with a noble status would be ostracized if he walked with ominous omens, but...
That person is evergreen!
Sikong Yi has been preparing for the bronze crown in his family, but his news has not fallen behind. If his news is correct, he knows that no matter what Changqing does, it will not be a surprise.
"Sir!" Milly walked in from outside the temple.
"What's up?"
"I saw the pioneer."
"What! Where is he?"
"He was stopped outside the city."
"He's with Bad Omen?"
"No, it's just him."
"Then why did you stop him?"
"Because he holds in his hand the shield of the captain of the Ominous Guards."
"What the hell?" Sikong Yi was a little confused.
