When Zhang Lin returned to the fire sacrifice ground, he saw a noisy scene.

In the circular courtyard outside the sacrificial ground, Feng Yan was fighting fiercely with a knight of the immortal squad, the flames were shining and the golden light was exploding, so lively.

As for the crowd of onlookers, apart from the grave keepers who seemed to have a somewhat rigid brain and were in place like a wooden pestle, they were ashes dressed in different clothes and posing in various strange poses.

In the corner, a slender silver-haired man with a pale face was sitting on a dry floor, his gray robe trimmed with gold trim in tatters as if he had been abused, and his bony body could be faintly seen.

He stared up at the sky with his eyes blank, his hands folded in front of his chest and shivering.

Beside him, another tall man half-knelt beside him, putting on a new robe for him, but the tall man looked a little embarrassed at the moment, as if he wanted to comfort but did not know how to speak.

Zhang Lin pulled over Hill, who was watching, and asked curiously, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Eh, master, are you back?"

Obviously, Hill's attention was completely focused on the fierce fight in the courtyard, and he didn't notice Zhang Lin's return at all.

"I said, even if you can't see me, can't you see such a big giant?"

The giant king Yumu, who was pointed at by Zhang Lin, looked at him with a feeling, and then turned his head and wrestled with Alice sitting in front of him with his fingers and arms, but he soon realized that one finger seemed to be not enough, so he added another one.

"It is said that there is no scum left after this fire, and you have not come back yet, so Feng Yan proposed to have a competitive gladiatorial battle with the knights of the immortal team......"

It seems that Fengyan's proposal is quite popular.

"And what's going on with these two?" Zhang Lin asked again by pointing to the two princes of Lothric.

"This group of ashes was sent directly to the city of Lothric by Mia with the Heart of Evil Energy, according to her analysis, it is better to live than to die, Mia and these ashes don't know what means were used, he was like this when he was brought back."

Zhang Lin looked at the ashes of this group of ragtag armies, and couldn't imagine what they had done to the second prince of Lothric.

Maybe it was because I thought that the ashes would run up one by one to send them to death, but it turned out that a large group came, so I was beaten to doubt my life?

"It's my turn, master, so I won't talk to you yet."

Hearing only a cheer from the audience, Hill left a word and slipped through the crowd.

Zhang Lin poked his head and looked at the courtyard, which was even worse because of the battle just now, and there were many more potholes in the already uneven field at the moment, and when a gust of wind blew, the low wall of the extension collapsed directly, and many stone bricks fell down the mountain.

I hope the Priest of Ima doesn't ask me for repair money.

Just when Zhang Lin was out of his mind, there was a sound of footsteps beside him.

"Hello!"

I saw Prince Lorian pulling his younger brother Loric over, and from his eyes, Zhang Lin did not see the hatred for the ashes, but a sense of relief.

"You guys?" Zhang Lin looked at the two of them with some curiosity.

"The Priest Ima told me that thanks to Your Excellency's help, the fire transmission can continue." Although Lorian has an aura of iron and blood because of his perennial battles, he still showed due aristocratic etiquette when he was born into the royal family, "Also, because of Lothric, I have not had time to say, please thank Miss Mia on our behalf, she lifted the curse on our brother, restored my brother to health, and relieved our crazy father." ”

"You can tell her yourself." Zhang Lin smiled.

"I'm afraid it won't work, my brother has a shadow of Miss Mia." Lorian glanced at his younger brother, who was pulling at the edge of his armor like a child, "And, after I pass the fire, I won't have a chance." ”

"Okay, I'll talk to her."

"Brother, we said that we wouldn't spread the fire, this is a curse." The second prince frowned and looked at his brother, very reluctant.

"Listen, brother, I can't watch our people descend into darkness, it's my responsibility as the heir to the kingdom," Lorian said solemnly, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder, "After I'm gone, you'll need to restore the glory of the kingdom of Lothric for me." ”

"But ......"

Zhang Lin bypassed the two people who were caught in the dispute and walked towards the sacrificial ground.

As he descended the stairs, he saw Mia and Ciri busy in front of a door made of black stone.

Mia holds a palm-sized instrument in her hand, constantly recording something, while Ciri draws some runes on the stone door.

"What is this?"

"Portal, this is my attempt to work with Ciri." Seeing Zhang Lin coming, Mia took off her glasses, threw the hair on her chest behind her head, and then walked over.

"Where did this stone come from, it looks special." Zhang Lin walked to the door with some curiosity, stretched out his hand and knocked, there was a faint heat, and the hardness was amazing, "Don't tell me this is obsidian?" ”

"Master, do you still want to say that if you make a fire in the middle, the portal will be activated? You're thinking too much. Mia covered her mouth and smiled, "This is solidified by Ludos with his ability, and his ability is very helpful in stabilizing the plane and plane." ”

"Mainly, Miss Mia, your presence has shown me a different world." I only heard Rudos's voice coming from the side, and I saw that he was a little taller and walked over a little crookedly.

"Prosthetics?" Looking at the pair of legs that were very uncoordinated with the body on Ludaosi's lower body, Zhang Lin asked suspiciously.

"Yes, a simulated prosthetic modified by synthesizer technology, I tried to treat Rudos's leg, but it didn't work very well, so I ended up adding this prosthetic to him." Mia explained, then looked at Rudos, "Your Excellency, how do you feel?" ”

"It feels good, just like the real thing." Rudos responded with some excitement and made a few movements that nearly knocked him down, and then he walked up the stairs of the sacrificial arena again.

"Do you have any new ideas for fire transmission?" Judging from Rudos's reaction, Zhang Lin guessed something at once.

"Indeed, master, this world is very special, not a normal planet, but an independent world formed around a giant tree, somewhat like the world tree described in Norse mythology."

"You even know Norse mythology?"

"Don't interrupt me yet," Mia glared at Zhang Lin and continued, "The sun of this world is not a star, and the energy source of the world comes from what people call flames, so if you want to make the flames vigorous, you need a lot of fuel, and what they use is the soul of a powerful individual, but this cycle cannot be eternal, the consumption is greater than the replenishment, and the flame will eventually be extinguished." ”

"And what do you mean?"

"Until a definitive solution is found, it is possible to try to obtain souls from other worlds. If you can, the Salary King, as well as the Ash Heroes, can become our mercenaries. ”
