"Where is the Vulcan Crest now?"

Lin Yuan asked.

The old man didn't answer, just paced back and forth slowly, and the top ten guards around him looked at the old man one after another, and a sense of uneasiness spread around......

The old man paced for a long time before stopping, he turned his back to Lin Yuan and said slowly:

"We hid in this place for a long time...... Since more than 500 years ago, when the Vaal Chieftain, the king of the wasteland, ordered to accept the Southern Totem Religion, our Vulcan Sect has been declining day by day, coupled with the independence of the Northern Huang Clan, a hundred years later, there are very few people who believe in the Vulcan Sect in the wilderness......"

“…… But there are also staunch believers who have united their scattered faithful to form the Guardians of the Holy Flame, and our obedience is no longer the propagation of religion, but the tradition of protecting the true God...... We left the temple of fire that had become a ruin, and we built here, an underground temple of fire...... However, hundreds of years later, Vulcan has become a forbidden religion in the wilderness, and the people no longer have faith...... There is only endless desire in everyone's eyes...... War...... ravages the land...... We hid incognito in the wilderness as ordinary peasants, for ...... It is the fulfillment of that prophecy......"

The old man said this, paused, and then yelled:

"The god of fire is immortal! ……”

The people around him were stunned, and then shouted: "It's even stronger! ”

Then the people of the whole cave shouted:

"The god of fire is immortal! It's even stronger! Vulcan is immortal! It's even stronger! Vulcan is immortal! It's even stronger! ……”

Hou Yi was infected by this majestic slogan, and he couldn't help shouting along.

Lin Yuan didn't say anything, but his eyes changed a little, it was a kind of passion, a look of relief.

The old man coughed a few times, and the surrounding voices gradually eased, and everyone waited for him, and then said:

"After centuries of humiliation, centuries of trampling of our faith, and even plundering of our temples and relics, now, perhaps, we have the opportunity to reclaim what is rightfully ours...... The one standing in front of me, I can't be sure if you're the one you call the return of the god of fire, because I can't see ...... However, I can feel that there is a raging fire in your heart......"

"So, whether you're who you say or not, we're here to help you...... Help you find the Vulcan Crest ......"

Lin Yuan nodded, he took a deep breath and said:

"Okay, thank you Firewatch...... Allow me to ask one more question, if I find the Vulcan Crest...... Moreover...... My handprints match the legends...... You ......"

"Then you are the legendary god of fire, me! And the lives of the 50,000 Vulcan believers scattered all over the world will be yours! You're at your disposal! The old man interrupted Lin Yuan's words, his voice was high-pitched, full of glory.

Lin Yuan nodded slowly, as if putting the old man's words into his heart, and then he asked:

"Alright, please tell me where the Vulcan crest is?"

The old man seemed to sigh, and he whispered:

"I also heard from my previous firewatch, who said that when he was the 139th firewatcher, he was starving because of the great drought of that year, the grain harvest was not harvested...... At that time, in order to save the world, the firekeepers used all the property of our church to exchange all the food for food, and among the items exchanged at that time was the pottery plate, the coat of arms of the god of fire......"

Lin Yuan hugged his arms and asked:

"Then do you know who the clay plate is replaced?"

The old man nodded slowly and said:

"It's natural...... The other party to the transaction is called the Daqi clan, and they are rich in sheep and beasts, which are a very important source of food...... Therefore, there was no way for us to take an expedient measure at that time, and the fire-watchers of that year made it clear to the other party that they should keep our clay plates safe, and when we passed the famine, they would exchange double the amount of food for ...... Only later...... It is said that when we spent the famine year and sent people to redeem the pottery plate, we found that the Dagong clan had been wiped out...... The Vulcan crest is gone......"

Lin Yuan asked:

"Where is the location of the Great Clan? Didn't you go after it? ”

The old man picked up the firewood on the ground and threw it into the bonfire, and looked at the flame with gray eyes, as if feeling its warmth, and he whispered:

"Of course I will chase ...... For two whole generations, we have been pursuing, but the location of the Da Gong tribe is remote, they are far away in the northwest wilderness, far away from the plains, inaccessible, we have been tracking for a long time, and we have found nothing, until modern times, the plains have fallen into a civil war, and our forces have to go underground, so this matter has been delayed......"

"Good!" Lin Yuan said loudly, "In that case, I will go with Hou Yi to this so-called Great Gong Clan to retrieve the Fire God Crest!" I'd like you to help me draw a map, or point me to the directions. ”

The old man nodded and said:

"I will send our people as guides to take you over, but at present, the plains tribes are constantly fighting, the situation is urgent, and we are short of manpower, so we can only send one person as a guide, please understand......"

"Just have a guide, you don't need too many people." Lin Yuan replied confidently.

……

In the early morning of the next day, Lin Yuan and his party had already made preparations, and he and Hou Yi obtained a few pieces of leather armor, stone spears, bone blades and other equipment from the Holy Flame Guardian, as well as some dried meat and other dry food. It's not much, but it's enough for them to eat on the road.

Lin Yuan originally planned to leave Jiu Yao here, after all, the distance was far away, and it was inconvenient to take a woman, but Jiu Yao refused to agree, she poked the dead tree with a stone spear, and roared that in our Pangeng clan, only men will stay and wait for women to go on the expedition, there is absolutely no reason for women to stay, if you want her to stay, unless she dies.

Lin Yuan had no choice but to let her follow, but as soon as she came, she was not alone, and a little boy came with her.

"Jiu Yao......" Lin Yuan looked at the little boy with a frown while sorting out his backpack, and said to Jiu Yao: "You just need to come, why did you let him come with you?" He's so small, just let him stay here. ”

Hou Yi heard Lin Yuan's words, and also raised his head, looked at it, and echoed:

"That's it...... King Yan is right, such a small boy, let him join the Holy Flame Guard, although the people here are a little weird, but they are all good-hearted good people, and at the same time, they are also the only organization in the vicinity that has the strength to dare to confront the Huang Clan...... He's staying here, absolutely safe! ”

Jiu Yao pursed her lips, flashed around, pushed the little boy behind her to the front, and said:

"You think I like to carry this oil bottle? Well, say it yourself, see if you can get rid of him? ”

Lin Yuan stood up suspiciously, and before he could take a few steps, the little boy took an arrow step and rushed to Jiu Yao's side, holding Jiu Yao's sturdy thighs with both hands, with an expression of not letting go.

Lin Yuan smiled helplessly, he understood, it was indeed not that Jiu Yao refused to let go, but that he couldn't let go of this little boy at all.

"Haha, well, it seems that he treats you as a reborn parent, forget it, in that case, we won't force it......"

Jiu Yao crossed her waist with her hands on her waist, looking at Lin Yuan with an angry and helpless expression, which made people feel extremely pitiful.

"Hou Yi! This is what you call King Yan? Suddenly, a voice as heavy as a mountain came from behind Lin Yuan, he hurriedly turned around, it turned out to be a big man with a stout body, who had already occupied behind Lin Yuan at some point, he was holding a huge stone axe, and the strong muscles of his body were shaking one after another in front of Lin Yuan.

For a moment, Lin Yuan suddenly felt that he was standing with this person, as if he was a child, this person's figure was too tall, Lin Yuan had never seen such a strong person.

Hou Yi opened his mouth, smiled, and said happily:

"Worm! Haha, did they send you? The strong man nodded, looked at Lin Yuan and Jiu Yao, then put the stone axe behind him, crossed his hands on his chest, bowed slightly, and said:

"The guardian of the Great Eastern Camp - Ganzha is here to report! The firewatcher ordered me to take you to the northwest wall, how many of us are there? When to go? ”

Lin Yuan took a step back, nodded slightly, and said:

"Yes, the firewatcher is really trustworthy, there are 4 of us, three men and one woman, three big and one small, we are about to leave immediately, huh...... Have you been there? Are you familiar with the situation over there? ”

He laughed loudly, and his voice was as strong as a bell, "Haha, of course I'm familiar with it!" “

Hou Yi walked up to Lin Yuan and said softly:

"King Yan, I heard that the canadians were originally barbarians over there, who lost their parents in the war when they were young and were captured as slaves by the tribes on the plains...... It was the firewatcher who rescued him...... Speaking of which, our experiences are somewhat similar, we were all rescued from the slavery by the firewatchers. ”

Yu Zha stretched out his big hand, patted Hou Yi's shoulder gently, and said with a smile:

"Boy, let's meet again! Now that we're ready, let's set off early, and we still have a long way to go! Haha......"

With that, he picked up his huge stone axe, hummed a little song, and set out on the road with brisk steps.

Lin Yuan and his entourage hurriedly followed, and Jiu Yao kept muttering in Lin Yuan's ear:

"Where did this monster come from? So strong...... Don't have any luggage with you? What is he going to eat on the way? ”
