The heavenly fire in Allen's eyes kept flickering and flickering, and these words were difficult to understand in the ears of other beings, even if they were highly intelligent beings like Amondo. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but he is different, he is different from the life of this world, because he comes from outside this world. Now he began to wonder if the world was really in the depths of his consciousness? Or that Alan did enter the world of a certain consciousness, but this consciousness was not him, but another existence.

When the thought came to him, he became more and more sure of it.

As Amundo said, the world can be seen as a projection of a will, which is naturally a giant shadow that exists between heaven and earth. It's just that Amondo is in it, and he can't jump out of the game like Alan. Therefore, they did not realize it, and understood it as the dream of the so-called "him". But for a life in the projection world, having such an understanding is beyond Alan's expectations.

Amundo lowered his head and saw the flickering fire in Alan's eyes, which obviously misunderstood Alan, and said humbly: "Of course, I can't have such a deep understanding. All this was only told to me by the wise Abyssal Flame, the great Mitinas had existed in his dreams for countless years, and through groping, understanding, and practice, the Abyssal Flame came to this conclusion, and shared it with other kings, and only then did it have the rule that kings need not be at war. Because it makes no sense at all. ”

Amundo said with a little excitement, "Including the Abyssal Fire, we are all waiting. Waiting for him to wake up, waiting for him to lead us to conquer other worlds. He is our common king, and until then, all we have to do is be patient. Your Highness the Dark King, you are no exception, so the Fire of the Abyss has asked me to convey it to you. Beyond the canyon, there is a vast world for you to choose from, and whichever piece of land you choose, you can divide it into your territory. ”

If Eren was just an ordinary king in this projection world, then he would gladly accept the offer of the Abyssal Fire. As Amundo said, when they understand the meaning of the existence of the creatures in this world, then there is no point in war, and waiting is what they should do. But Eren is from outside the world, and he is not the king here, even though he has given the title of Dark King. But Eren had so many questions to answer that he didn't have time to wait for the shadow to wake up.

God knows how long he's been asleep.

Billions of years? Or even longer?

"Believe me, I appreciate the kindness of His Highness Mitinas. But I still have to move forward, I have a place to go, and that will go through the canyon. But I don't want to fight the fire of the abyss, not in fear, but in respect. If the Abyssal Flame understands this, maybe he can let me pass, even if it's an exception once. ”

Amondo didn't show a hint of surprise, he nodded and said, "Sure enough, as the Abyss Fire said, His Royal Highness the Dark King will not stop easily when he fights for thousands of miles. A young king should have had that kind of courage, but the fire of the abyss also said that the way to seek power does not have to be war. If His Highness the Dark King is willing to halt your steps, or bypass the canyon, then the Fire of the Abyss will be happy to provide you with a shortcut, a shortcut to increase your power. ”

Apparently this is another misunderstanding.

However, hearing that there was a shortcut to increase his strength, Alan was slightly moved and asked, "What kind of way is it?" ”

"Lava Wells." There was a certain yearning in Amundo's voice: "This is the place where the Abyssal Fire was born, in the depths of the abyss of the Flame Canyon, where His Highness Mitinas was born. And people like me, as well as several other close ministers who serve His Highness, were born from here. The Lava Well can provide us with one or two chances to advance to the ranks, and if you enter this place, I believe that the strength of His Highness the Dark King will be increased compared to now, and it will be a qualitative increase! ”

"So you see, the lava well is so precious, and His Highness will not open it to people casually. Even we need to accumulate enough credit to get a chance to enter the lava well. But for you, Your Highness has only one condition, and that is to avoid wars between kings. It's a no-brainer, isn't it? ”

Alan was touched when he heard this.

Qualitative improvement? Wouldn't it be possible for the Lava Well to directly promote him to level 30? Alan was already certain that his experience in this world would be of great benefit to him on a practical level. Otherwise, to pursue the giant shadow in this world is a complete atavistic process in itself. Every battle here, every ascension, also directly affects him outside the world.

Take the last time, he slashed the Shadow of Flames, absorbed part of the opponent's source power, and became the Dark King. In the real world, he was directly promoted to the next level, and this kind of upgrade speed was unimaginable before. You must know that at his level, it takes a lot of time to go up every level, otherwise how could so many strong people basically not be able to go up again. It's not unwilling, but it's difficult.

After level 30, the bottleneck grows even bigger, sometimes desperately large.

Therefore, a lava well that can make people gain a leap forward is as precious as it is. The Abyssal Flame came up with such a condition, which shows its sincerity.

Alan nodded, "I'll think about it carefully." ”

"I hope you won't think about it for too long, of course, for kings who have had a long time, I think the time of the Abyssal Fire for a hundred or two hundred years can still afford to wait." Amundo bowed and retreated, his body gradually spreading fire.

Alan knew it was leaving, and waved the guards away. Amundo reformed into a ball of fire, slowly rising into the air, and then gradually speeding away. Finally, it turns into a flaming meteor and throws it into the canyon where the abyssal fire is.

It was completely dark.

It turns out that there will be nights in this world, and this is the first night that Eren has encountered since he came to this world many times. He dismissed his guards and sat alone on top of the boulder looking out over the canyon. After a moment, he felt a sense of being removed from this world, and he knew that the time had come for him to stay here.

There was a trance.

When he opened his eyes again, the dazzling sunlight rising from the east almost made Alan unable to open his eyes. But after a few moments, he adjusted to the light, and the sun was a huge fireball in his eyes, and the vicious light was completely filtered by him to see the sun as it really was.

Bai lay on the ground next to him and fell asleep, and the boy curled up in a ball, drooling and sleeping soundly. Alan smiled and rubbed his hair, and the boy opened his confused eyes, and Alan said, "Get up, we have to hurry today." ”

So the boy smashed his mouth and got up, and looked up to see a few skinny wolves sneaking in the distance, Bai stretched out his finger and pointed away, but the person looked at Allen. The latter knew what he was thinking, shook his head, and dispelled the idea of picking up those skinny wolves along the way, and helped Alan bring the war horses. Moments later, the two rode away.

Three days later, the city of Sardinia was in sight.

Seeing this trading capital again, Alan was quite touched. I thought I was heading north at that time, and when I passed through the city, I was shaken by the grandeur and magnificence of Sardinia. But what attracted Allen the most was the city's vitality. But now, the city is covered with lead clouds, and even the sun looks weak. The great walls of the city also smoked patches of black and gray from the flames of war. There were a few sections of the wall that were clearly damaged, and then they were reinforced, and it was like a few patches on a luxurious robe, how glaring and glaring.

The long road to Sardinia used to pass through a forest, but now the woods are almost clean and broken. The two sides are even more scorched, only broken wood and broken rock, not a trace of green. A camp had been set up outside the city, and Alan could see from a distance that the dragon's banner was planted in the camp, and that Woodrick and his army were indeed there.

Before they approached the city, a cavalry squad had already galloped in, and more than a dozen cavalrymen surrounded Allen and the two of them, and the first one shouted, "Who are you?" ”

Alan unhurriedly took out the identity document that Lucy had prepared for him from his horse's side bag, and the cavalry captain took it, and was shocked when he saw the earl's title prominently marked on it. This paper was delivered to Alan in the afternoon after Targario himself had awarded him the medal that day. Therefore, in addition to the certification and seal of the Privy Council, there is also a golden double lion seal on the document. This means that Allen's status is recognized by the royal family, which is three points more honorable than ordinary earls. Of course, this document must be difficult to pass in the north, but in the south, it is still very noble.

With that golden double lion seal, Allen's dignity is comparable to that of a marquis. The captain was about to dismount and salute, but Alan smiled and gently grabbed it with his hand, and he said, "Who is in charge of Sardinia City now?" ”

The captain hurriedly replied, "Before, General Woodrick was in charge of military affairs, and General Sling was in charge of the management of the city. But with the transfer of the battle line, the main force of the giant dragon army also moved away, and at present, both inside and outside the city, are managed by General Sling. ”

"Very well, I won't go into the city, and I told General Sling that I was waiting for him outside the city. There are some things, and the general needs to help with them. ”

The captain nodded: "Then please go to the barracks with us to rest." ”

Walking into the barracks, sure enough, the camp was very quiet, and there were not many soldiers in sight. Most of the soldiers who did not leave with the transfer of the main army were wounded and their combat effectiveness was limited, so they naturally stayed. Although the battle flag of the Dragon Army was hanging in this barracks now, Alan saw more Bucks soldiers. The captain of the cavalry had invited Alan and the others into a tent, and he had sent someone to inform Sling, while he stayed with him.

Alan casually asked about Sardinia's current situation, only to know that the situation here was even worse than that of Unicorn Ridge.

The Shadow Duchy fought two fronts at the same time, the north and the south, and each front was subdivided into several battlefields. Sardinia's side is one of these battlefields, and the Shadow Duchy will use this city as one of the entry points to the south, and what they see is the current situation of Sardinia with high walls but no strong army. When the army of the Duchy of Shadows appeared, there were only 5,000 Stags in the city of Sardinia. In terms of the number of troops, the number of strong men, and even the quality, the city of Sardinia was at a disadvantage. The alien army did not rush to attack, they first cleared the woods leading to Sardinia City, then surrounded the city, and finally took advantage of the superiority in strength to divide the army into several echelons to attack in turn, and the continuous fighting day and night made the army of Sardinia City have no time to rest at all.

By the end of three days, the city of Sardinia was already in danger. Fortunately, at the critical moment, the southbound dragon army arrived. Under the leadership of Woodrick, the dragon army attacked the main army of the alien army from the rear, killing the opponent by surprise and temporarily relieving the predicament of Sardinia City. After that, Marshal Rodek continued to increase his troops in the city, and finally the army of the Shadow Duchy was defeated, and the battlefield was transferred.

Now the dragon army is chasing after the other party's tail, intending to eat all the remnants of the alien army. The city of Sardinia is now only an empty shell, and the city is more than ten empty rooms. Before the war began, many residents had quietly moved to Motheor's side, and it was clear that the Empire's heavy armoured legions, the Bear Armor, had given people more confidence, even if the city with the Imperial Hall had raised its taxes, there was still an endless stream of people pouring into the city.

"Now that Mother Orr has actually been controlled by the Bear Armor Army, the mayor is completely hollow, not to mention Marshal Rodek's orders, even the orders of the Empire cannot be transmitted to that city." The cavalry captain sneered: "The great general Arkham is now majestic, I heard that he is adding the general's main meeting and intends to build a palace. Hey, he's trying to be king himself. ”

"Don't talk nonsense in front of Lord Allen." A majestic voice came from outside the tent, and then the tent was opened, and the long-lost general Sling strode in with several officers. The cavalry captain immediately retreated, and Sling laughed and opened his arms to meet Alan.

After a hug, General Sling took a few steps back and said, "I haven't seen it for a while, Lord Allen has been promoted to this level, and it seems that it will only be a matter of one or two years before he hits the level 30 mark." Seeing you at this moment, I am glad that I made the right decision. ”

"Oh, I don't know what decision General Sling made?"

Sling pointed at Alan and shook his head, "Adults know it, but in fact, they are not afraid to pick it up now." I had some investments in the Dark Lands, and unfortunately, my trip north was a waste of my investment. At that time, there was more than one person who instigated me to deal with the adults, but I was the most cautious person, and I had the idea of not moving. And when I arrived in Sardinia, I decided to forget about taking revenge on my lord when I saw him so young. Youth is capital, and adults already have such power and power at this age, and I can't afford to provoke such a character. ”

"It's only been a few months now, and the adults have improved again, so you say, was my decision wise at that time?"

Alan smiled and didn't say anything. He wasn't interested in this kind of mental trick now, and he didn't have the impression that Sling was the kind of person who would expose himself. Now I talk to Allen about the old things, it's just to see the subtle changes in the situation in the south. Allen escorted Julien thousands of miles south, and now Julian has the support of the Iron Lance Hoy and the Boleyn family. It is also well informed that the Sword Lord Masson will come forward to identify the new Empire as the assassin of Targario, and for now, Julian has a great advantage in the situation.

When the news came out of Iron Spear Ridge, Masson identified the prime minister, even if Hausen refuted and denied it, it would be extremely disadvantageous for him, the king. In contrast, Julian will be more recognized, and as a noble person next to His Royal Highness. There is no doubt that Sling doesn't want Alan to suddenly turn over the old account in the future, so he simply makes it clear now that he must know that the black tsuru he invested in can assassinate Allen in the Grand Duel Arena.

If Allen pursues it to the end, Sling, the mastermind, will not be able to escape.

Sure enough, Sling lowered his voice and said, "I was offended a lot at that time, and I hope that adults will not be surprised." Of course, I'll make amends to the adults. And the attack on the Lord outside of Sardinia, I swear it was definitely not me, but the Swordlord's men. But now that things have changed, I don't think adults will continue to pursue it, right? ”

What Sling means is that if Allen no longer investigates what Masson did that day, then he, the general of the Bucks Army, is even less worthy of mention than Masson. Alan couldn't understand his hint, he nodded and said, "Since the general took the initiative to tell him today, it shows his sincerity." Now our top priority should be to resist the invasion of the Shadow Duchy, before the national war, personal matters are not enough to mention, and the general does not need to take it to heart. ”

Sling breathed a sigh of relief, and said happily: "The courage of the adults is admirable. ”

Alan smiled and said, "There's something I want the general to help with right now." ”

"My lord, please say, as long as I can do it, Sling will never shirk it."

"It's not a big deal, I'm going to the Blood King's graveyard. Now that the cemetery is guarded by the Fire Lion Legion, I am afraid that it will be inconvenient to enter and exit it, so I would like to ask General Sling to write a letter of recommendation to General Eligo of the Lion and ask him to let him pass. ”

Slin was stunned for a moment and said, "Lord Allen, the situation in the Blood King's Graveyard is not stable, what are you going to do there?" ”

"I've reached a bottleneck, and if I want to break through in a short period of time, the Blood King's Graveyard should be a good training ground. I've heard that the more you go down the cemetery, the more murder happens, and I want to try my luck there. Alan didn't hide it from him, and directly explained his intentions.

Sling nodded: "Since that's the case, then I'll write a letter for the adults." It's just that General Elligo won't let people go, I can't guarantee it. ”

Alan also knew that it would be more important for Woodrick to write this letter, but now he couldn't chase him to the front line and just let the Dragon Army general write a letter of recommendation for himself, right? He said indifferently: "It's okay, even if General Elligo doesn't let him go, I won't blame General Sling." ”

"Okay, sir."

Sling called for a pen and paper, wrote a letter and stamped it with his own seal, and then handed it to Alan. Alan looked at it and put it away, and after a few moments, he took his leave, and walked around the city of Sardinia and rose towards the valley of the dead. He and Bai hurried at full speed, and in the evening they finally saw the road into the valley, the starting point of death.

It was more lifeless than the wilderness outside Sardinia, and the road was still sinking deeper into the valley, and the setting sun had completely obscured the mountains, casting only a blood-red glow. The whole valley was filled with a murderous aura, and Alan galloped wildly, and before the sun fell to the horizon, he looked forward on a high slope and saw the high mountain that was halfway up the mountain obscured by thick clouds.

Hell Mountain!
