Flame domain.
Fuyou Mountain.
This is a specialized cemetery for nobles. Gray-white tombstones are erected in the mountains and forests. The size of the tombstones and the words engraved on them record the glorious deeds of their lives. The neatly arranged steps from top to bottom symbolize their lifetimes. The level of the title.
However, there is not much mourning culture in the tradition of Yanyu, so it can be seen that most of the tombstones, no matter how luxurious and grand the funeral was at the time, and how solemn the tombstones were, over time, many of them have become The corners of the tombstone have long been worn away, and the words on the tombstone have become damaged and blurred.
On the better ones, you can still see traces of occasional cleaning, but for most of the tombstones, two-thirds of the area has been covered by vines and moss. We can only wait until the elderly guardian of the tomb remembers it, maybe Only then would he kindly pick up his crutch and come over to fix it.
The quiet cemetery that should be deserted most of the time, today, welcomed an aristocratic woman with extraordinary temperament.
The old man guarding the mausoleum at the door just glanced at the noble lady, then quickly retracted his head, and allowed the lady to enter the cemetery without questioning. After all, he was just a casual worker here. He could tell by looking at his clothes like this. Those from wealthy families are basically allowed by default.
Louise went all the way to the top of the cemetery without any obstruction. The number of tombstones became smaller as she went up. In the end, the lady stopped in front of a very conspicuous tombstone.
The conspicuousness here does not refer to how luxurious the decoration of the tombstone is, but that compared to those "tempered" tombstones along the way, this one still remains clean and tidy.
It can be seen that it is definitely cleaned and cared for regularly.
The only one that can be located on the top floor is the count's tomb, and the "Sisier" family coat of arms engraved on the tombstone has already explained the owner of this tombstone.
The noble lady stared at the earl's tombstone with the same expression as usual, but the few dazed expressions deep in her eyes still revealed some of her inner feelings.
After a long time.
Louise didn't say anything more, but after sighing softly, she bent down and placed a small blood-red flower that she had been holding in her hand next to the tombstone.
After doing all this, Louise did not leave in a hurry, but turned to look at the big tree next to the tombstone.
I saw there, at some point, a woman wearing a bishop's robe, leaning against the shade of a tree.
"The Rose of the Other Side, a magical flower that is said to be able to connect life and death and rest the souls of the dead, can only be watered with the precious blood essence and blood of the "Prince" and above in the blood clan as nutrients, and combined with the secret cultivation method of the Druid clan. In the short term, it will consume It may take decades, or even hundreds of years, for it to bloom."
The bishop woman seemed to be talking to herself, while she also stood up and left the shade of the tree, walking to the side of the Earl's tombstone.
After she squatted down, as if admiring a rare thing, she sighed at the small blood-red flower that Louise had just placed on it.
"Judging from the number and color of the petals, this rose from the other side must be hundreds of years old, right?"
"And... after the death of the forest god, the sunwell dried up, and the wisdom of the druids was lost. This resulted in many precious and rare plants that could no longer be cultivated and became extinct and became history."
After saying this, the bishop woman...Vulcan Alice finally stood up again and moved her gaze from the bloody flowers in front of the tombstone to the noble lady opposite.
"Is it really okay to use the rose from the other side, which may be the last rose in the world, here... Louise?"
Ah.
The noble lady chuckled after Alice's words.
"If Lord Vulcan could have stepped forward to stop this absurd love, then maybe a rose from the other side could be preserved for this world."
"But unfortunately... you didn't."
"So, compared to Lord Vulcan, who can give up a loyal believer with great potential, I just give away a little flower with no use other than a slightly nicer name. It's nothing. Are you right, Alice?"
The old man guarding the tomb at the foot of the mountain suddenly felt that the weather seemed to have become much hotter. Even the refreshing breeze in the mountains and forests became a bit hotter, and soon turned into a heat wave. There is still a faint burning sensation on the body.
This frightened the old mausoleum guard. Just when he was panicking, fortunately, this heat wave came and went quickly. After a while, the temperature in the cemetery returned to normal, and there was no breeze. The heat was getting worse. The old man breathed a sigh of relief and continued to lie back on the chair and take a nap.
"Sure enough, in fact, the Water God's Chain is... completely useless to you, right?" Louise sighed when she saw the Vulcan opposite who was trying to regain his power.
Easier mood swings and uncontrollable breath leakage are caused by wearing the Water God's Chain, which has a calming and concentrating effect. All signs have shown that the degree of "falling into the abyss" in Alice has reached Not a low level.
"I have expected this a long time ago. After all...if my sister's divine power could really resist falling into the abyss, the original Thunder God would not be half crazy, and the twin gods would not turn against each other. The God of Nature Not to mention sacrificing himself to create the Forest of Dreams to completely isolate the east and west continents."
Alice shook her head.
Just like a girl suffering from an incurable disease, she allows herself to accept this fate calmly by recalling the past.
Louise opened her mouth, but stopped talking.
Alice seemed to have read what the lady wanted to ask, and a rare and relaxed smile appeared on Vulcan's face.
"Since I know that the Water God's Chain doesn't work, why would I send that little girl and her little wolf on a trip to Thousand Islands, right?"
"But I think you should know this answer after meeting them."
The proud and proud look in Alice's eyes was like an old mother showing off her children at a parent-teacher meeting.
Although Louise looked a little unhappy, she finally had to admit it with a nod.
"That little girl does have a bit of my demeanor back then. For that reason...so I directly stopped them from coming back to see you and guided them to the Rock God."
"Oops..." Alice patted her chest in symbolic relief.
She smiled and praised: "Louise, can't you do something good? I'm still worried about this problem. My cold sister will definitely not take the initiative to come forward. What if they return to Yanyu?" If you don't have your own God, with the temperaments of those little guys, I'm afraid they'll be anxious to death, and then there will be trouble..."
"Wait a minute, Alice, although you are indeed infected with the Fallen Abyss, it's not to the point where you can't see people. You... huh?! What's going on with your divinity?"
Normally, no one would be stupid enough to activate detection perception on a god, but Louise smelled something wrong from what the Vulcan just said.
So after she tried to sense Vulcan's state, the expression on the lady's face could be described as astonishment.
God is divided into divine personality, divine nature and divine heart.
Among them, the heart of God is the container of power, the divinity is the container of the soul, and the godhead is the symbol of authority.
But for the Vulcan at this moment, according to Louise's perception, the position of God's heart is empty. This kind of operation is irrelevant to those gods who live long enough, but for Vulcan, it is considered "very For a young God, it is still very harmful to the body.
But what really made Louise's expression change drastically was that she could barely feel Louise's "divine nature". For a god, this was simply more fatal than "losing his godhood".
Because losing the godhead means only losing the title of "God of Fire", but the dissipation of divinity means the annihilation of the consciousness of "Alice".
However, Vulcan did not answer Louise's nervous question.
Instead, he looked into the distance and asked the lady.
"Louise, do you know about this creature called a moth?"
"Moth?"
"Yes, this is a very magical creature. They like places with bright light, so anything that can emit light has become the object they chase. It may be lights, moonlight, or... firelight .”
"So when I was young, I never understood that when I was emitting scorching heat, all other creatures tried their best to avoid the burning flames, but only those moths... "
"In the darkness, they went against all other creatures and chose to plunge into the flames for the so-called light. Then under my sight, even if they only touched it a little, their fragile bodies were destroyed in the blink of an eye. Burn up.”
"Is it really worth giving up your life just for that extremely short-lived light?"
Faced with the lady's increasingly frowning brows, Alice seemed much more relaxed.
She raised her palm, and soon a crystal moth, which was condensed from the power of the fire element and its whole body was red and translucent, landed on the Vulcan's fingertips.
"However, now I seem to understand them a little bit, and I also understand the original decision of the Forest God. The night watchman never left its post, it just... changed to another way of guarding."
"Although I'm far less powerful than the Forest God, and I don't have the courage of the Ice God, but if I just want to be a fire-chasing moth... it should be more than enough, right?"
Louise said nothing.
Because she knew that it was useless to say anything at this moment.
As Vulcan whispered, there were more and more fiery red crystal moths on her fingers, but correspondingly, Alice's body began to become more and more unreal.
"Thor God's actions have proven to us that the goal of falling into the abyss is divinity. In that case... I really can't take them out of my body, but I can still take them and disappear with me. It can be done.”
"Well, although I'm not the only one they target, I believe that the others are definitely more powerful than me. It's not that easy for Fallen Abyss to corrode them like it corroded me, let alone... and me. Here’s the secret weapon sent out!”
"Although this secret weapon is not that powerful now, I am willing to believe in those two little guys. I believe that they can prevent tragedy, change destiny, and save...their gods."
"The Forest of Dreams and the Emerald Illusion isolated the Western Continent from the Fallen Abyss and gave us in the Eastern Continent some breathing time. And now this Fire Chasing Moth is my gift to those two little guys. , the time they need... I'll pay for it."
By the time he spoke the last words, Vulcan's voice had become weaker and weaker, and almost half of his body had turned into flying crystal moths.
They flew towards the sun high in the sky, and then began to spontaneously combust on the way, their wings were wrapped in fire, and finally dissipated into the air.
"Louise, I'm very sorry for what happened back then. I believe the same is true for several others. If we chose to believe you, maybe the tragedy in the Western Continent would not have happened. Since you mentioned it, you were already with that little girl. I see the shadow of my past in my body, so I hope..."
"Don't make the same mistakes we made back on her. This is my...last request."
Alice's last voice echoed in the noble lady's ears, but Vulcan's body had completely dissipated.
The crystal moth that flew high into the sky and then spontaneously ignited on the way was the embodiment of the divinity of "Alice". However, as we watched, the last wave of crystal moths had to repeat this process of annihilation...
Suddenly, as Alice's body dissipated, a blue necklace fell to the ground, and at this time, a bright blue light burst out.
These blue lights were like a big net, stopping the last few crystal moths that wanted to "chasing the fire", and eventually shrunk them, and then trapped them in the necklace.
After doing all this, the light of the Water God's Chain completely dissipated. It seemed that the big net just now had exhausted the divine power in the necklace, turning the necklace into an ordinary mortal object.
but.
When Louise bent down to pick it up, she discovered that was not the case.
The power from the water god in the necklace has indeed been exhausted, but in the gemstone in the center of the necklace, a fiery red crystal moth is flapping its wings, and the rich power of the fire element has quietly taken over the necklace.
The change in divine power also changed the shape of the necklace, from the initial shape of a water drop to a crystal moth emblem.
Tick tock...tick tock...
The collision, or rather the blending, of the powers of the Water God and the Fire God produced a wonderful reaction. At first it was just a faint sound of raindrops, but in the end it turned into a heavy downpour.
But the strange thing is that the sky is still clear and there are no dark clouds in sight.
This is a solar shower.
And in this drop of rain, Louise felt that it was the divinity that had spontaneously ignited before from the "God of Fire". With this heavy rain all over the flames, divinity was given to all the people in the territory.
Every mage of the Vulcan Cult seemed to have a sudden increase in understanding at this moment, and their understanding of magic advanced by leaps and bounds. Every warrior of the Knights felt that their bodies were full of strength at this moment. The bottlenecks stuck due to their talents could not be attacked without attacking. Self-destruction.
And every player in Yanyu...
[Ding, due to unknown reasons, when you are in the "Fire Domain", the experience value acquisition efficiency is +150%, and the part that exceeds the upper limit of the current version will be stored with 40% of the quota, and will be opened in the next version update. When the level reaches the upper limit, it will be automatically converted]
Yanyu has always been regarded as the weakest among the Nine Kingdoms. Not only is the god the youngest, but Alice's "low martial arts" philosophy of governing the country has also allowed Yanyu to almost reach the fourth level and above. No extraordinary person can see it.
but...
Now it seems that at least the label of "low martial arts" will be removed. In a country nourished by divinity, extraordinary people will surely spring up like mushrooms after a rain.
But of course, there are advantages and disadvantages. The Water God's Chain preserved the last trace of the Vulcan's divine crystal moth, which means that the Fallen Abyss also did not disappear together. Although they lost the opportunity to occupy the Vulcan, they also Following the scattered divinity, it spread all over the Flame Territory.
It is conceivable that in the future, people in the Flame Territory will inevitably continue to fight against the creatures of the Fallen Abyss.
And now Louise completely understands why the Water God was so weak at that time. It turns out that it is not only the octopus, but also the Water God who gave her sister the Chain of Water God. Undoubtedly, the Water God also played a lot effort.
This is a very bold path.
No one knows where it will lead.
But at least Louise enjoyed the road.
This road is called "The Moth Chasing the Fire".
