Chapter Seventy-Eight: Half the Battle?
A little in front of Lin Qing's feet was a brass-colored three-legged incense burner. The incense burner is about the size of a human head, with no ornamentation on it, and only seven hollow holes are distributed on the bare and slightly bulging surface, forming a circle.
This brass incense burner is a few years old, and the edges and corners are quite smooth, and the reddish marks can still be seen in the polished parts. But inside it was clean and could even be described as spotless.
Someone came to clean this incense burner? Lin Qing glanced around, and there was not even a ghost except for Agra.
There was no time to think nonsense, Lin Qing took out a black incense as big as a fingernail from the incense burner, popped out a small pinch of flame and lit it and put it in. The faint smoke enveloped him, and his vision began to blur, then became clear again after a few seconds.
The scene in front of him startled Lin Qing. In front of the stone pillar, which originally had nothing, three elemental creatures as tall as a mountain appeared, and they were wild and powerful compared to the elementals that roamed the ground. At this moment, three giant-like monsters seemed to be looking down on him, looking at his worm the size of a grain of rice.
Lin Qing quickly calmed down, the names of these three guys were not red, which meant that they were still allies. The Arcane Element of the Root, the Water Element of the Root, and the Wind Element of the Root, from left to right, Lin Qing used the identification technique to identify the names one by one, and other than that, the information was all question marks.
What about the Root Fire elemental? Lin Qing was stupid, he came here to communicate with the fire element, but this guy was gone. The opportunity to enter and exit only once is going to be wasted!
"Mortal mage, why are you here?" The Wind Elemental of the Roots spoke first.
It is a living cyclone, with a tornado-like whirlwind body, no legs, long stout arms, and a pair of glittering red eyes. Lin Qing, who was originally small, couldn't attract its attention, but it was sensitive to the flowing wind and noticed someone standing in front of it for the first time.
Elemental creatures don't have mouths, and conversations are telepathic, so there are no limitations to language. Lin Qing held back the wind elemental as he spoke, the wind washed on his skin, and his body leaned forward hard, already at a sixty-degree angle to the ground, but he still had a premonition that he would be blown away.
Ding, the Arcane Elemental of the Roots casts "Arcane Shield" on you, granting negative status immunity.
The purple arcane element formed a shield around Lin Qing, and the raging wind had no effect on him. Because the elements deteriorate during the resonance process, the player's elements are lighter in color. But this is the purest elemental energy, beyond the player's control, the noble purple that arcane mages have pursued all their lives.
"Don't go overboard, Wind. This little guy doesn't have Yule's strength, and he was blown away, but no one came to talk to us anymore. ”
The Arcane Elemental Body of the Root is made up of stone-like arcane elementals condensed into blocks, and at first glance it looks like a tall, lanky humanoid robot. Yule is a neutral archmage who died for Salerima and a teacher of Lorraine.
"You're here to communicate with the elements." The Root Water element is a feminine voice that, like its name, is as gentle as water.
The water element is slightly humanoid, but lacks feminine features. The body is like a transparent river floating in the air, and the neck and hands are surrounded by rings with golden red lines.
But the next words of the Root Water Elemental made Lin Qing's heart fall to the bottom: "I'm sorry, mage. As you can see, the fire left the Elemental Throne. There's nothing we can do for you. ”
"Hmph, do you still admit that traitor, it is not qualified to return to the throne!" The Wind Elemental of the Grumpy Roots roared, and another strong wind blew, uprooting the withered weeds on the lawn and throwing them into the sky.
"The wind is right, fire no longer belongs to the throne." The Arcane Elemental of the Roots said, "Little one, you may be confused. To put it simply, the fire elemental was corrupted and corrupted by the Chaos Demon Lord Redrom, and entered Selivia through the demon passage and became the Fire Elemental Lord. So, this time you're going to go home empty-handed. ”
Isn't it, this fire element will not fall sooner or later, and when I come, I will say that I will slap my ass and leave, Redrom of the pit daddy, the designer of the pit daddy! Lin Qing greeted frantically in his heart. He could only go in and out once, didn't it mean that he would never have the opportunity to communicate with the elements.
It's not a question of difficulty, it's a matter of not having a chance at all.
"Wait, what's on your hands?" The Root Water Elemental noticed the ring on the middle finger of Lin Qing's right hand, "Is it the Root Elemental Ring?" ”
"You can't be wrong, it's indeed the Ring of the Root Elementals!" The Arcane Elemental of the Roots laughed, revealing its ring, which was in the form of an amethyst. "You're in luck, little one. I don't know where you got the ring, but if you wear it, you're eligible for the Elemental Throne! ”
"Then you can communicate with the elements?" "Don't mention communication, you are the master of the fire element, and the fire element of Selivia is yours!"
"You can't be so hasty, I haven't heard that mortals can ascend to the throne, you are hurting him!" The Wind Elemental of the Roots vetoed, "Water, say something quickly, this is not in accordance with the rules!" ”
"That's true, but the ring doesn't lie." "yes, let's give it a try." "Give it a try? It's going to die, and Yule knows he can't spare you! ”
"Yule, isn't he dead?" Lin Qing's mind is now like a fryer, three voices are arguing, and schizophrenia is nothing more than that.
"What, Yule is dead!" The Wind Elemental of the Root reacts the most, which shows that it has a good relationship with Yule.
"Yes, Yule is dead, killed in the Second World War to protect Salerima."
"Alas, no wonder I didn't see him again. It's a shame that he's the only archmage who can freely enter and exit the elemental plane. The Root Water elemental spoke in a low tone, as if it had been struck.
The Arcane Element of the Root didn't feel sad and said, "In that case, we should let the little guy try it." The Elemental Plane and Selivia are closely linked, and there must be no liaison between the two, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable! ”
"Whatever you want. Mortals, I tell you. We don't count, if you want to ascend to the Elemental Throne, you must be affirmed by the Throne. Now, approach the Throne of Fire and stroke it with your ring-wearing right hand. Of course, as long as you're alive. ”
"Ascend to the Fire Throne......" Lin Qing didn't know what it was for, but it sounded quite powerful. As for the punishment, it is not in his consideration, the player is afraid of everything, and he is not afraid of death.
Even if the price is to fall back to level zero, as long as the equipment and skills on his body are still there, he will still be a good man in a few days. And if you succeed, the benefits will be infinite. It's a no-loser deal!
The Fire Elemental Lord's Ring and the empty stone pillar created an induction. In an instant, the stone pillar that seemed ordinary to outsiders had turned into an erupting scorching volcano in Lin Qing's eyes, and the heat emitted forced him to turn his head and cover his cheeks with his arms.
Lin Qing's movements were very funny, but none of the three elements spoke or laughed, because they knew that it was a test of life and death.
Approaching step by step, even breathing at a distance was like sucking flames into his lungs, and the pain that penetrated deep into his bone marrow forced Lin Qing to close his non-existent eyes to resist this terrible heat.
Multiply. Although Lin Qing is a skeleton without flesh and blood in the game, he can still smell the smell of meat being roasted when he puts his hand on the stone pillar covered with magma. The upper limit of the game's pain once again saved Lin Qing, and ordinary people might faint if they suffered a punishment similar to cannon burning.
A spark shone and drilled into Lin Qing's throat and into his body, as if it had completely enveloped his heart. He felt the spark burning in his chest, scorching and painful. But Lin Qing knew that this was not a real flame. He pressed the position of the heart on his chest with one hand, leaned forward and pressed his right hand firmly against the stone pillar!
Bear! The flames instantly crawled all over Lin Qing's body, wrapping him into a flame cocoon from the inside out. Roaring flames erupted from the Seven Orifices, burning the virtual body in Lin Qing's game fiercely.
This is not a test, but a one-sided torture. Lin Qing, who was confused, only remembered to stick his hand to it, and he must not let go, once he let go, it would be a failure!
"Ah, what kind of fire is this Root Fire on the Fire Throne! You're crazy, little ghost, get out of here! The chaotic heart in Lin Qing's heart was beating wildly, and the fourth voice sounded, it was Redrom, who was burned and screamed. It was temporarily sealed in a chaotic heart, and there was no escape.
"I don't care if you look for death, don't take me with you!" Redrom wails with a scream that pierces his eardrums, and fights with the chaotic energy of the Chaotic Heart.
Before, Redrom had eaten an arrow from the Priestess of the Moon, and the strength it could use was very small, but it barely alleviated Lin Qing's pain.
The scene in front of Lin Qing's eyes changed again, and his gaze seemed to have traveled back to the Selivia continent and landed in an unknown corner of the continent. Mountains of flames formed, lava turned into oceans, and the sky shone fiery red, and two-headed dogs and golems made of lava walked among them.
Beyond this hellish scene, at the end of the mountain is a palace towering over a hundred-meter peak, with thousands of flame naga guarding the owner of this palace at the door. A name came to Lin Qing's mind, Land of Flames, the territory of the Fire Elemental Lord!
"I see you, ridiculous mortal! Grab my ring and get out, and soon, my army of flames will level your world! The magma surged and exploded into a curtain of fire more than a kilometer high, and the sound resounded between heaven and earth, immediately shocking Lin Qing back to the Elemental Throne.
Consciousness returned, Lin Qing stood in front of the throne of fire in a daze, the pain of being burned by the fire disappeared, replaced by the coolness and comfort of the water.
"It's a success, you've got the throne's approval!" The water element applied healing magic to Lin Qing, and there was a slight tremor in his calm and gentle voice.
"It's only half the battle. Just now, the fire sensed the situation on this side and interfered with the ritual, so you can only step on the throne with one foot now. The wind elemental was still very disdainful of the mortal in front of him, "Fortunately, the fire can't come back, otherwise it would be another trouble." ”
