"Hey, Sawyer!"

Looking at the surprised Sawyer, Gregory grinned: "How is it, I didn't expect it." ”

"Indeed," Sawyer nodded, the surprise on his face turning to delight, "why are you back?" ”

"Not the witch meant it yet."

Gregory shrugged his shoulders, and Sawyer was not surprised by this answer, he could see that the witch and the four ancient kings were playing a big game, and Sawyer could guess some, but due to his position, Sawyer, as a pawn, could not see the layout of the whole game.

At least, it won't hurt me.

Sawyer thought so, grabbed Gregory's shoulders and walked towards the tower: "What is so important that you need you, the savior, to inform me?" ”

"I've just come from the Golden City, too, so how do I know," Gregory shook his head, "but something seems wrong with the witch." ”

"Huh?"

Sawyer raised his eyebrows, and then heard Gregory laugh: "Maybe I'm too tired, after all, I just arrived in Jincheng, and I was teleported back by a witch." ”

"That's right," Sawyer laughed and changed the subject, "It's not easy for you along the way, right?" ”

"Of course, I was almost killed by the Black Knight the other day."

Gregory spoke in an exaggerated tone, smiling and telling Sawyer about his experiences in the past few months.

The hall where Sawyer was meeting was not far from the Tower, and Gregory had just finished telling him about his own story when the two of them had already arrived at it.

As soon as he approached the white wall of the tower, Sawyer felt a mental fluctuation lingering near the tower, smiled slightly, and walked towards the white wall without stopping, his body seemed to pass through a layer of water waves, and entered the dark space inside the tower.

"You're here."

The witch came out of the darkness with the usual gentle smile on her face

"Hmm." Sawa nodded solemnly, and his tone was a little solemn, "Is the Kuroshio about to start?" ”

"Kuroshio? No. ”

The witch shook her head, still with a gentle smile on her face: "I'm here for you, for you to improve your strength." ”

"Strengthening?"

Sawyer was a little confused, he hadn't heard that witches still had the ability to improve the strength of others, in other words, if witches could help others improve their strength, the ring city would not be suppressed by the gray fog for thousands of years.

The witch was not annoyed by Sawyer's suspicions, and still smiled: "I do have the ability to improve the strength of others, but the restrictions are very large, and I ......"

The witch glanced back at the burning bonfire: "It's also very expensive. ”

"The power of fire?"

"The power of the original fire?"

Sawyer and Gregory spoke at the same time, one speculating, the other already knowing, and after looking at each other, they turned to look at the witch.

The witch didn't answer, but instead asked another question: "You are already very clear about the history of the Gray Mist Age, so do you understand why for hundreds of years, even the seven people whose strength is beyond the world have only called themselves ancient kings, while Nikreel can be called emperor?" ”

The answer is already self-evident, the power of the flame.

Sawyer had previously learned from Rowena that Nickrell could fuse with the rekindled fire to gain power over this world, but Nickrell was suspected of being a heavy otaku, and he had been in the tower around the city for decades, and he would not participate in disputes outside the tower at all.

"That's right, the power of flames, the most powerful and primordial power in this world," the witch ignored the silence of the two and raised her voice a little, "As long as you let a trace of the power of flame be integrated into your body, you can also obtain a power comparable to that of an emperor!" ”

"Comparable to the power of an emperor? Is it above this world? ”

Sawyer had to admit that he was moved.

If the strength of the emperor realm cannot be accurately described, then comparing it with the power system of the present world, it can be clearly concluded that the emperor is equal to a demigod!

There may be differences in means, strength performance, etc., but the realm and strength are similar, even if Nikriel is thrown into the present world, under the suppression of the rules of the present world, he can compete with any demon god!

And for Sawyer, demigod-level strength has another meaning - to go home.

As early as when he had just crossed over, he had heard Seruah say that as long as he had the strength of the demigod-level, he could travel through time and space, and with the guidance of the Guardian Stone, he could give Sawyer the ability to return to Earth!

Come home......

Sawyer's thoughts don't know where to go, although he has many fetters in this world, but the word "home" is still a deep obsession for him.

And now, with a slight nod, Sawyer can easily obtain this power and have the ability to return to Earth!

After a moment of silence, under the witch's "gaze", Sawyer finally gathered his thoughts and raised his head, looking at the witch and showing a smile: "Since this is the case......"

"I refuse."

"Alright, let's ...... What did you say? ”

The witch turned around and suddenly froze, even the unchanged smile on her face stiffened for a moment, she slowly turned to Sawyer, with a little uncertainty in her tone: "You just said, you refuse?" ”

It was obviously shocked, confused, and slightly annoyed, but when combined with the witch's always gentle and smiling face, it looked very strange.

"Yes, I refuse."

Sawyer spoke again, and the space inside the tower seemed to get darker.

"Why?"

"There's no such thing as a free lunch, is there?" Sawyer smiled slightly, "A strong power represents a greater price, especially this kind of power obtained in a short period of time. ”

"It's not a power given to you for nothing, it's just a means that has to be implemented in order to keep the blue city, after all, the existence of the blue city is important to this world."

The witch hides in the shadows, her tone still soft.

"You don't have to worry about the safety of Blue City, I'm fully prepared and sure to withstand this black tide," after a pause, Sawyer wrapped his arms around Gregory's shoulders again, "What's more, Gray is back too, isn't he?" With Gray here, what's there to worry about? ”

"In that case......

"In that case, I'll leave first," Sawyer bowed slightly, "After all, there are still many things to deal with in Blue City." ”

"Okay then."

The witch's tone was still not much of a wave, and with a slight wave of her hand, the passage out of the tower appeared behind Sawyer: "Goodbye." ”

"Goodbye."

Sawyer nodded, gave a deep look at the witch in the dark, and turned away from the tower.
