Chapter 171: Ask the Heavens
Because that night from eight o'clock, as if the scene of the end of the world was enveloping the entire Nanshan, including the royal garden Kanazawaen built on the mountain, and then the sky fell red fire, the earth gushed magma, lasted for more than an hour, and finally the vision in the sky was gone, but the ground was still magma rushing, flames were raging, a large amount of snow was melted into gas evaporated into the sky, and then turned into water droplets after being cold, and finally turned into a torrential rain and fell.
In the pouring rain, a teenager carried a **-year-old child on his back and trekked on the waterlogged volcanic rock ground, although the boy had an air shield floating on his head, covering most of the rain for him and the child on his back, but the boy's body was still soaked.
The heat brought by the immortal firebird had gradually receded under the heavy rain, and the cold winter wind blew again, and the young man's heart did not feel cold, because that heart had already been filled with resentment.
The young man kept asking the sky in his heart:
Why?
Why?
Is it possible for an old man who has no quarrel with the world, who has retreated to the woods and who only wants to live an ordinary life, to end up in such a fate? Is it possible for those in power to fear that the existence of a person will be a threat to him as a reason to deprive that person of his right to live?
God of Light, have you not always advocated the spirit and faith of kindness, fraternity, and equality? But where are you when a family is torn apart, when a man loses his wife and daughter, when an old man loses his innocent life, when a child is heartbroken? Where are you when your spokesman on earth is vying for power and profit? Where are your most faithful believers with their butcher's knives raised and their hands covered with blood?
The person who constantly questioned the heavens and the gods in his heart was none other than Allen, and behind him was Rick, who had fallen asleep due to excessive sadness.
After the undead firebird consumed all the fire-based magic energy on its body, it turned into a crimson egg-shaped stone again, and Alan dripped his own blood on the stone according to the method of rolling the parchment left by the old man, and then activated the spell, the stone gradually shrunk, and hid all the flame breath, and finally changed back to the strange appearance when he first saw it.
According to the introduction on the parchment scroll, the only thing the undead firebird can and must do after each awakening is to destroy and destroy, because without a substance, the undead firebird cannot be destroyed, and the only way to stop it from destroying is to extend the dormancy period of the undead firebird, and this is where the seal is used.
But even so, once the dormancy period of the undead firebird has passed, he can still absorb a small amount of fire-based magic elements from the outside world through the seal to enhance his strength, and when his strength is strong enough, he can break through the seal and return to the original form of the world-destroying, and if a magician can release the energy absorbed by the undead firebird by casting fire-based magic, it can further extend the time it takes for him to break through the seal.
Perhaps that's why the old man sold the strange stone to himself when he heard that he was a magician with a fire magic specialty, and specifically suggested that the strange stone had the effect of increasing fire magic. And his own flame gathering technique can get twice the result with half the effort in alchemy, also thanks to the pure fire-type magic energy absorbed by the immortal firebird.
Alan put away the stones, carried Rick on his back, and braved the gradually increasing rain to walk in the direction away from Boulder City, he knew that such a big change tonight must have alarmed the imperial capital, it is estimated that the investigation team sent by the imperial court has been on the way overnight, he and Rick must avoid these people, can't let them know that they know the truth of the matter, let alone let them know that they are related to it, otherwise it will only bring disaster to the two of them, especially Rick.
The ground is full of volcanic rock after the lava has solidified, not to mention the ups and downs, and there are even hard thorns in many places, the soles of Allen's boots have long been cut, and the soles of his feet are also injured and bleeding, but he does not dare to stop for a moment, he knows that as long as he walks far enough, the heavy rain will clean the ground, and no one will find out about him at that time, let alone think that his little magician will have something to do with such a huge disaster.
It's just that how to deal with Rick is a troublesome matter, this is the old man's will, and he can't ignore it, but now that he is homeless and unemployed, he can't let Rick wander with him. Moreover, the Holy See is powerful and has many eyes and ears, and the Phelps family is an accomplice of the Holy See, it must be a very dangerous thing to stay in the imperial capital for a long time, and he must be sent away, and there is only one ideal place at present, that is, Tiesong Town in the ancient city of Aogu-cheng, I believe that Isha will definitely take him in, and he may also become a good partner of Harvey and Lynch.
After walking for more than two hours, about ten miles, it was already far from the center of the fire, the rain had also fallen, and the road surface was much better, but the cold wind was biting, which made Allen's whole body fall into the ice cellar, and Rick also woke up at this time, and he was also shivering with cold.
Alan felt that he couldn't go any further, otherwise he wouldn't have to be arrested, and the two of them would have frozen to death first.
Just as Alan was about to find a hidden place to pause and make a fire to keep warm, he turned a small forest, and suddenly a faint light appeared in front of him.
Seeing the light and seeing hope, Alan was overjoyed, and he tightened his back on Rick's arm and strode in the direction of the light.
The light seemed to be very close, but in fact, it took Alan half an hour to walk to the house that emitted the light, and if it wasn't for the light that kept giving him hope, Alan doubted that he would have the strength to hold on to the door.
"Tuk Tuk!"
Alan knocked on the door, it was an ordinary Orion's house, built deep in the mountains, and there were no neighbors nearby. The family seems to have been in a nervous state because of last night's sky vision, so when Alan knocked on the door, a slightly nervous middle-aged man's voice came from the house: "
"Who?"
"Uncle, don't be afraid, I am a resident of the neighborhood, my house was burned by fire, only my brother and I escaped, and I hope that my uncle will take me in. ”
Hearing Allen's voice, there was a slight conversation between a man and a woman in the room, and then footsteps came to the door, and then the door opened from the inside, revealing a middle-aged man in a cotton robe, the man's face was simple and dignified.
The middle-aged man took a candle and lit it, and when he saw Alan and Rick who were soaking wet, he stretched out his head and looked around, and then quickly pulled Alan into the house, and shouted into the inner room at the same time:
"Wife, hurry up and boil some hot water, wash the two children, and find a few clean clothes. ”
At this moment, in a house made of adobe, different from the cold and bleak royal garden, Alan finally experienced a kind of warmth.
