Chapter 5 Eighteen Years Ago, on the banks of the ancient capital river
"Emperor of Light, Master of the Endless Sea......"
"You...... What kind of reward will I be given? β
When Jin Cheng finished speaking, he was already in a cold sweat.
The majesty of the Bright Emperor was crushing him all the time, if it weren't for the inexplicable aura in his body to resist for him, he wouldn't have the strength to shout loudly, and he wouldn't even have the strength to stand up.
"Stupid human, are you trying to fool my great father!" The son of the Bright Emperor roared in annoyance, and it leapt in front of Jin Cheng in one step, its fist-wide eyes overflowing with a murderous aura, "You weak, incompetent, powerless ordinary person, why did you kill that lava demon dragon?" β
Jin Cheng summoned up the courage out of nowhere, and countered: "In that case, I made a bet with you, and within fifteen days I would make that lava demon dragon disappear from this world!" β
"If I lose, I'll be at my disposal!"
"If I win, what can you give me in return?"
"You won't win, you'll lose, and then I will tear you to pieces, and use your flesh and blood to nourish a new oasis for the Endless Sea!"
"Adolf."
The Bright Emperor softly called out to his annoyed son, and he walked over to Jin Cheng again, lowering his head and staring at Jin Cheng.
"Human, I'm sure you can do it."
"I know who you are."
β¦β¦
I know who you are?
Jin Cheng only felt a shiver of cold hair all over his body, a heavy fear emerged from the bottom of his heart, the cold breath went all the way up his spine, and his head suddenly became cold.
His name is Kaneshiro, he's an esports player, and he's from Earth.
He...... Not the Igu people!
Heterogeneous.
In a world of dimensional conquest, the word does not mean friendship and honor, but only one meaning - enemy!
Enemies of the entire plane!
Kill your enemies, or enslave your enemies.
For the Igu people, there is no third option!
Cold sweat completely drenched Su Bai's body, and by the time he finally recovered from that fear, the Emperor of Light had already left, and the boundless desert was dead silent under the moonlit night.
Jin Cheng had an impulse, he wanted to leave now, go as far as possible, away from the Endless Sea, away from the Emperor of Light......
This thought had just arisen, and a pair of fierce eyes suddenly appeared in his mind!
ββ¦β¦ Tear it to shreds and use your flesh to nourish a new oasis for the Endless Sea! β
The grim voice sounded in his ears, and Jin Cheng was even more startled, and said in a lost voice: "Soul bet!" β
The giant wolf, named Adolf, was enraged and cast a pact on the bet.
"Can't go."
"I'm going to make this bet."
"I must go to the Tower of Quicksand, too."
"It's the fastest way to do it."
"I must make a tome as soon as possible and become an arcane mage!"
"I ...... Going home! β
Qiao Xiul of the Tower of Quicksand is one of the few arcane mages who still adheres to the traditional way of passing on the arcane method, and under the leadership of the Blue Tower, most of the arcane mages have stopped accepting disciples, and will only select disciples from among the students of the Blue Tower Academy every year.
Jin Cheng knew that he was actually lucky, if he appeared a few days later, and when Ella retrieved the lava tome, the Tower of Quicksand would move away from the Endless Sea, completely disappear from people's vision, and never appear again.
If that's the case, if Jin Cheng wants to become an arcane mage, he needs to travel across the Igu continent to the south coast, learn the arcane knowledge at the Blue Tower Academy for a few years, and wait to be selected by another arcane mage.
Obviously, Jincheng will not miss a better opportunity.
With a rein, Jin Cheng put aside his superfluous fears and thoughts, and continued to move in the direction of the Tower of Quicksand.
The night passed.
As the sun rises, the temperature of the desert rises rapidly, and Fili is quickly awakened by the heat.
"Ah, Highlander, when did I fall asleep? I'm telling you, I dreamed of a couple of big white wolves last night! Fili stretched his waist and said with great interest, "In our Augustan culture, dreaming of a big wolf represents the wildness and ambition of a man!" β
"yes, what did the wolf tell you?" Kaneshiro glanced at Filip, said in his heart that you are not a dream, and asked casually.
"The wolf told me that the Endless Sea was too dry and that it wanted to create a new oasis for the Endless Sea...... Oops, what are you doing! β
Boom!
Jin Cheng smashed a water bag on Fili, gritted his teeth and said, "Drink more water, you have been steamed by the heat all night, and the water has been lost too much!" β
"Oooh." Fili believed it, obediently took a sip of water, and under the command of Kaneshiro, he wet a piece of white veil and covered his body.
Before sunrise, Kaneshiro deliberately slowed down his speed to allow the Sandwalker to regain some strength, so neither of them stayed until noon.
The sun god is also one of the crowned gods, he is a firebird named Hipperien, who has been flying around the World Tree since he was conceived from the sacred fruit, and his divine power is at its hottest at noon.
This was more than the two of them could bear, but fortunately passing by a gravel field, the two of them found a bare boulder, hid in a hidden place and waited for the time to pass.
The sun had turned slightly, and Kaneshiro urged Filip to get on his way.
You have to keep up your speed, or you'll have to let Ella's team catch up......
Lava Queen Ellaco has always been known for her ruthlessness, and the only time she meets Jincheng is with the legendary spell Doomsday Collapse as a gift.
If Ella thinks that the two belong to outsiders, to people who are not kept secret, then ......
After resuming their journey, the two of them marched until late at night, when the exhausted Sandgomon finally fell to its knees and refused to move.
Originally, Jincheng was already planning to give up and take a break for a while.
But as soon as he stepped down from the sandwalker, the knowledge of a book came to his mindβ"The Complete Solution of the Igu Beast Species".
Spell pages come in a variety of materials, with the most violent fire-based spells often crafting hardskin.
So Jin Cheng gave his mage character, Kim, read this huge set of books.
"Come, with your knife, here, plunge in......"
Under Jincheng's guidance, Fili used the tip of his knife to find a bone knuckle under the head and neck of the sandwalker, and then plunged deep into it.
"Aang!"
Sandwalker stood up immediately, its eyes bloodshot!
This is a secret technique that can generate the life force of the sandwalker into physical strength, and it is a skill that the sandfolk have explored in their life of fighting against the desert.
The sequelae were naturally not small, but at the very least, the physical strength of this sandwalker lasted another night.
The sunrise was fast approaching, the temperature was rising rapidly, and when the vision slowly brightened, a group of towers appeared in front of the two of them.
A towering stone minaret, surrounded by five auxiliary towers that are only half as high as the central tower.
Tower of Quicksand - the domain of the legendary mage Joshuel.
"It's finally here." Jin Cheng let out a slow breath.
"It's finally here!" Filip clenched his fists, and his face looked a little strange, like anger and relief.
"Stranger, stop!"
A frost-like voice sounded, and the desert in front of the two of them suddenly surged, and a stream of yellow sand slowly protruded, and the sand and dust flew away, turning into a puppet.
"The ancient Bauhinia King made a promise that the land within the vision of the Mystic Mage's Tower would belong to the Mystic's domain."
"And you're approaching the Tower of Quicksand."
"Tell me where you came."
The sand golem stood two feet tall, casting a shadow that obscured Kinjo and Filip.
As soon as Kaneshiro wanted to speak, Fili had already raised his head and shouted, "Is Dernan here?" β
"Tell Dernan if he remembers the woman on the banks of the ancient capital eighteen years ago......"
"Her son is here!"
