Xue Qian didn't respond to her words, stayed in the air for a while, and suddenly flew towards the mountain range.

"Master, do you want me to scold her?"

Seeing that her master was being ignored, Erin said indignantly, struggling a few times in Xuexi's arms.

"There's no need, just follow her, maybe she remembered something."

Natsu stopped Lori, flapped her flame wings and followed the goddess, and came with her to the front of the mountains.

"This place ......"

She suddenly felt a little hot.

Originally, this decaying land was extremely cold everywhere, and there was no sunlight all year round, and people entering it were like stepping into the vast fields of winter, and there were not even trees to block the wind.

But as soon as she got close to the mountain range, even the flames around her felt a little breathless, and the scorching waves of air scattered outward from the direction directly down the mountain range, and the remains of countless undead could be seen around, all of which were roasted red.

"Erin, go down and see if there's a volcano in this place, it would be bad if it suddenly erupted."

Natsu asked little Lori to fly underground and take a look.

"No, master, the ground here is very strong, and I flew down for hundreds of meters without any sign of lava." Erin soon flew back:

"But I don't know if there are any farther away, do you want me to take a look at it again?"

"And where does all this heat come from?"

She looked wondering at the scorched earth below, and after a while, she noticed a small cave in the hottest area.

"It's Bud's breath."

Xue Qian said in a low voice:

"I remember that he obviously had a big underground palace in the mine, why did he go to such a shabby mountain to build a lair?"

"Bud?"

From her words, Natsu noticed a name she hadn't heard before.

"Lava God of War...... It used to be my neighbor, deep in the labyrinth underground, and I had dealt with it a few times. ”

Xue Qian replied.

Then he leaned down and flew down, passing through the mountain in a phantom state.

"This is not a place I can get in right now."

Xia looked worriedly at the cave that erupted heat waves from time to time. If this kind of place was placed in Faens, it would naturally not be able to stop her, but on this side of the New World, her resistance was relatively much lower.

Only the elemental phenomenon composed of magic can her physique be resolved, and if she rushes directly into something like magma, she will also die a miserable death.

"Xue Qian. You're so rude! ”

At this time, Erin suddenly grabbed Xuexi's arm and pulled her out of the cave, her voice full of anger:

"Obviously I asked you to come over to help fight monsters, if you don't help, forget it, and don't care about the owner running around!"

“…… I'm sorry. ”

The Flame Goddess bowed her head to Lori.

"It's okay."

Xia Fei went over and touched Erin's head, and said to the two of them:

"There is no rush to improve the strength of the ...... It would be of great help to Xue Qian if she could recover her memories, after all, we know so little about this continent. ”

"Elevate ...... Strength? Xue Qian put her finger to her lips in confusion:

Do you mean eating the undead? They can't be eaten. ”

"It's not eating! It's just to destroy them. ”

Xia thought to herself, could this goddess still devour the talent of the class? That's a little scary.

"If you don't eat them, you won't be able to improve your strength through them."

Xue Qian's life (?) Experience obviously can't understand the setting of fighting monsters and upgrading:

"Although I can't increase my strength in this way. But if you want to eat, we can go to the lake and the forest......"

"Leave the food alone."

Xia interrupted her with a little headache:

"You just said the lava god of war, is that also a god like you?"

Xia gestured to Erin as she spoke, asking the artifact Lori to go inside to check the strength of that Bud.

"It's not a god, it's a demonic beast, a flame demonic beast."

Xue Qian introduced her relationship with the other party in a language that she was not very fluent in:

"The God of War is the title it received after being defeated by the master of the continent, and I once wanted to subdue it and make it my subordinate...... But our essence is made of flames. Even if I were to be stronger than it, I would not be able to hit it hard; So we ended up being neighbors. Occasionally, some Flame Rough and Followers will be traded. ”

"I probably understand what the Flame Rough Stone is, what is the matter with the believers? That can also be traded? ”

Xia asked curiously, it was the first time she had heard of the interaction between the gods.

"I ...... Can't remember. ”

Xue Qian touched her head and said bitterly.

"Then don't think about it."

Natsu thoughtfully hugged her and rubbed her eyebrows and temples for her - in fact, this method was useless to the gods.

However, Xue Qian liked her touch very much, and took the initiative to use her head to find her hand. After feeling comfortable, he kissed her on the lips.

"Do you know what this behavior represents?"

Xia tried to suppress his impulses, not to let himself push the other party down in such a dangerous place:

"This is not something that ordinary friends or partners can do, the two sides have to be very close."

"But I've already let you into my body."

Xue Qian pouted and wrapped her arms around her neck. Looking into her eyes in a misleading way, he asked:

"Isn't that very intimate?"

“…………………… Well, let's just do it. ”

Xia decided not to dwell on this matter anymore:

"You just said that you were only a little stronger than this Flame Demon Beast before, and now that your strength has been greatly reduced, don't you feel dangerous to go to it?"

"Although it can't seriously hurt you, it should have the means to restrain a weak god, and then your fate will be difficult to tell."

She shuddered at the thought of the story of Beauty and the Beast.

"It's also weak now."

Xue Qian came up with a surprising answer:

"Weaker than me...... Because I have Irene. ”

At this time, she suddenly found that the little Lori was gone, and immediately became anxious.

"Erin? Erin? ”

She looked around in panic and wanted to fly out to find it.

"Don't be nervous, I just sent her out to scout, and she'll be back soon."

Natsu grabbed her and didn't let her move. The two of them remained in a hugging position and levitated in the air for a while, and Xue Qian put her head on her shoulder.

"The breath on your body is also very comfortable."

The goddess pressed her body closer: "And it's different from Erin...... It makes me want to take a bite. ”

"Don't bite!"

Xia thought that she had drunk her own blood, so it shouldn't be an addiction, right?

"I won't bite, because you're someone I'm very close to."

Xue Qian closed her eyes with happiness on her face:

"The only one who has ever entered my body."

"Ahem, cough, ahem!"

Hearing this sentence again, Xia couldn't help but cough violently.

"The hosts. There's a big guy hiding in there! ”

Erin finally finished her task and flew back to her side, gesturing with her two small hands:

"Its body is as tall as five or six people......"

"Five or six humans? It's a lot smaller. ”

Since Erin didn't use the voice, Xue Qian also heard her words, opened her eyes, took her head back from Xia's shoulder, and said:

"It seems that its power loss is worse than I thought, maybe something similar to me happened to it, I'll go and ask it."

Then she flew into the cave with Natsu in her arms. Hung Erin aside.

"Wow, she finally stopped hugging me."

Little Lori was not unhappy at all, but happily turned around a few times, and happily followed the master to fly inside.

"This ...... Xueqian, can you let me go? ”

Xia was a little embarrassed to be carried forward by her, although it was soft and comfortable, but being held by a sister (even if the other party is a goddess) was rushing like this, where was his dignity!

"That monster is supposed to be a dangerous guy. We should be prepared to hold each other like this will hinder the action. ”

"It doesn't matter. I'll protect you. ”

Xue Qian didn't seem to have the intention of letting go, looked down at her, and pecked her little mouth:

"Don't move, I'll be gentle later...... It will be over soon. ”

“……”

Hearing this kind of easily misunderstood words again, Xia closed his mouth in resignation.

Just let the other party carry him and fly to the depths of the cave, and finally came to a place full of red fire.

Here is a huge lava lake. Bubbles bubbled in the middle of the lake, and there was nothing but a few swarthy pieces of ore standing in the lake, except for the constant flow of magma.

"Bud, come out quickly."

Xue Qian shouted in an elegant voice:

"I have something to ask you."

shouted a few times in a row. There was no response in the lava lake either.

Seeing this, she frowned and threw a fireball into it with a wave of her hand.

"Bang!!" The magma was blown up tens of meters high, and a huge hole appeared in the middle of the lake.

"Woohoo ――――――――――"

A roar came from below, and a large, fiery claw reached out of the hollow and grabbed at where she was.

"Flame Waltz - Void Refining Fire!"

Xue Qian lifted a white leg and stepped lightly in the air.

A sea of fire suddenly appeared above the lava lake and surrounded the giant claws, and the flames lingering on the claws were suppressed into the red skin, and the giant claws seemed to be burned hard, and they retracted into the lake under the siege of the sea of fire.

"Bud, Narita Yale......"

Xue Qian thought for a while, changed to the same language she used when she first met Xia Shi, and sent a message to the flame demonic beasts in the lava lake.

After a few moments, a roar came from the bottom of the lake.

There was anger and mania in this voice, and there was no normal communication at all, the expression on Xue Qian's face became more and more impatient, her palm flipped over, and a huge and incomparable fireball emerged from her hand, raising her arm and about to smash it towards the center of the lake.

"Wait!"

Natsu hurriedly stopped her.

"Erin, do you understand the meaning of that roar?"

She asked Lori.

"It's saying, 'Get out of here! Get out of here! Don't anyone come and bother me......'"

Erin truthfully relayed what she heard to her master.

"Xueqian, will you try to reveal your identity to it?"

Xia thought of a possibility:

"If the other party's divine power is also deprived, it should also lack memory; If you put your name out with your momentum, this guy named Bud should have a good chance of remembering it. ”

"I'll try."

Xue Qian paused, and spoke a string of obscure words downwards again.

"Titicaca......"

The magma in the lake began to churn.

The giant claw that had just attacked appeared from it. "Bang" on the rock.

Then a second claw emerged, followed by a translucent head of flame emerging from the magma, and even if you stood far away, you could feel the heat contained in the orange-red bone.

"Erin, tell me its rating first, and then translate the conversation on both sides."

After the order is given. Xia looked down at the information bar, which showed the other party's information.

"Class 3S?"

She was a little surprised and said:

"It's ...... A weak monster that has lost its power? ”

She looked at Xue Qian who was talking to the Flame Demon Beast in awe, a boss of this strength, even in Faennes, he was not a guy to mess with.

――Then again, how strong was Xue Qian in her heyday?

"Looks like I'm underestimating this continent."

She thought to herself:

"Level 90 may just be the limit for ordinary people...... Or the limit of ordinary professions, there should be room for a character like me with an advanced state to continue to develop, and there seems to be a setting to break through the peak here. ”

"Can I take a shortcut and become a god in the New World?"

She hung there in her thoughts. Looking down at the words that Erin had typed out of her hand.

"I've been robbed of my power."

Flame Beast Bud said in a rough tone:

"You seem to be going through the same thing as me...... Where is Frestia? Did she just sit back and watch us servants of God suffer, and then hide from the sidelines and ignore the questions? ”

"That damn outsider!"

It roared in exasperation:

"He rushed into my dungeon with a horde of the living dead, drove me out of the comfort of the crater, and then sucked my power out of a strange device!"

"Now that my home is occupied by the living dead, I can coke them into char, but every time I do so, the outsiders will come back on time like crows and expel me again."

The Flame Demon Beast slammed the surface of the lake with its giant claws. The magma inside splattered everywhere:

"He knows he can't destroy me there! That's why they used this method to isolate me from the volcano. Slowly weakening my physical strength; But I was lucky enough to find another place to live! Wait for me, outsider! ”

Several streams of fire erupted from its mouth: "It doesn't matter if it's a hundred years or a thousand years; As soon as I regain my strength, I'll go and take back my dungeon and tear that bastard human to shreds! ”

Natsu endured the torment coming from her eardrums and finished reading the conversation that Erin had relayed. rubbed his ears with his fingers for a while, and transmitted to Xue Qian:

"Does it remember anything about this continent? It's mostly about the 'realm of the gods'. ”

"You...... Why do you know this? ”

Xue Qian looked very surprised:

"Even if my memory is incomplete, I vaguely remember that it was a taboo for the master of the continent, if you want to pursue that, I advise you to become stronger and come back."

She seemed to be thinking seriously. It took a long time to answer:

"As long as ten of you are as strong as you on the sea, I can get Bud to tell you the secrets of the realm of the gods, and if you ask it now, it will only keep silent; Because that's something we can't mention. ”

"Ten?"

Xia said in surprise.

Faennes is already a powerhouse who can single-handedly take on the Apostle of God, of course, far worse than the existence of the primeval dragon...... But she was confident that she would not be left behind in the battle against any of the lower gods.

――If you really want to fight with someone head-on, compare consumption, compare hole cards, and compare ...... How many can compare to her?

"But then again...... Frestia seems to have a grudge against the god Sado. ”

Xia didn't force Xue Qian to ask the other party again, and waved her hand to continue.

Then he began to ponder the relationship between the master of the continent and the other gods on the side:

"The guy who can make an enmity with the Radiant Lord should be a god of the same level as it, right? After all, all the signs here indicate that the master of the continent has not fallen, but he just doesn't know where to go. ”

"There is also the possibility that Frestia herself was an angel powerful enough to rebel against the Lord...... It's like a fallen angel in the western mythology of the earth who betrayed heaven, which can also be glimpsed from Xue Qian's description of her appearance. ”

"Then comes the last and most likely guess."

Natsu called Erin over and told her to lie on top of her.

"--Fire Elemental Awakening!"

A terrifying flame appeared around her, a phenomenon that immediately caught the attention of Bud and Snowy.

"Who are you?"

Bud took the initiative to question the strange human:

"Why is there the same flame as that outsider?"

There was exasperation and uneasiness in its voice:

"Xue Qian! What the hell did you bring with me! Why does she have the breath of that damn thief? ”

"Oops, self-defeating."

Xia embarrassedly dispersed the flames:

"I thought that the master of the continent was one of the thirteen gods...... It doesn't seem to be the case, but it has something to do with the guy who stole the divine power. ”

"She's someone I'm very close to."

Xue Qian proudly crossed her waist and said to it:

"And the first to enter ......"

"-I'm her partner!"

Xia hurriedly gagged her mouth and shouted at the flame demonic beast not far away:

"It's true that I'm an outsider, but I've only been here for a few months, and I've been on the other side of the ocean! You should feel that my strength is weak, and I can never be your enemy. ”

"That's right."

Bud knocked his flaming mouth:

"You are indeed weak compared to the great Bud, and you don't look like the living dead...... Hey, you don't seem to be an ordinary human. ”

It stared at Natsu's body and said:

"There's a scent in your body that I love, and it makes me feel so excited."

The Flame Demon Beast suddenly struck its chest with its giant claws, and then its body slowly shrunk, turning into an orange man with a blazing body.

"You should see my power, human."

It flapped its steely arm ostentatiously, emitting a puff of sparks:

"I have a good proposal here, do you want to be my woman?"

"The Flame Goddess, who has always liked to be alone, stayed with you as a human, probably because of your breath, right? Don't worry, as long as you take back my dungeon, I will definitely give you more than her! ”

The orange man triumphantly recounted his deeds:

"I used to raise more than 600 human female believers there...... All of them fell down under my mighty body; They're all dead now, but the gifts I gave them must still be there, how about they? Do you want to come to me? I'm here to make a promise that all those treasures will be yours when the time comes! (To be continued.) )
