Chapter 7: The "Magic" of Flame

A white mist drifted through the cooling jar. AndrΓ© tested the temperature of the jar for the third time, and when he finally felt that it was bearable, he handed it to Garuda.

"Come, taste it!" the children of the abyss looked expectant.

In the eyes of the Fire Demon, if there was something good in this jar with extraordinary magical powers, it should be the first to be enjoyed by the Son of the Abyss, who is the leader. Unless Your Highness doesn't look down on this thing yet...... At least judging from Andrei's expression, Garuda felt that this should be a reward for His Highness.

Without hesitation, the Flame Demon pinched the jar with both hands and poured the liquid directly into his mouth.

"Beware of burning!"

The flame demon's ability to withstand high temperatures is obviously very superior, and when a tizzling stream of heat passes through his throat and reaches his lungs, Garuda only feels that the pores of his body are dilated, and he is indescribably happy!

Be amazed at what kind of magic this little jar has that makes ordinary water seem more uplifting than boiling blood. The fire demon examined the ugly thing made of mud curiously, the not-so-bright light shining into the jar, and a clear and unadulterated transparent liquid could be faintly seen.

"Your Highness, what is this?"

Taking the jar from the fire demon's hand, the Child of the Abyss tried to take two sips of it first, and it was still a little hot.

"How's that?" asked Andre the first to try.

Garuda frowned and thought about it, he could feel the difference between this water and ordinary clear water, but frankly, apart from the heat fire demon, he couldn't tell what else was different about it.

Ordinary boiled water is just plain water, which naturally does not contain any magical power, but it has extraordinary significance for their group of people who are threatened by the shadow of the "curse".

Handing the jug to the succubus beside him, the son of the abyss smiled a little proudly, and the confident declaration under the black gas suddenly infected all the cowardly demons around him, "It is the key to our resistance to the curse!"

"Whoever drinks it will be able to avoid the erosion of the curse!?" the fire demon suddenly looked excited and his hands trembled!

The succubus, who had just adapted to the temperature of the water, was choking on his thirst. Livia hugged the jug in embarrassment, coughing incessantly, but the surprise in her heart was overflowing.

The cowardly demons around him also suddenly realized, no wonder the adults want to mobilize so many people to use such cumbersome means to make this thing, it turns out that it has such a magical ability!?

Looking at the excited subordinates around him, Andre couldn't help but sigh for their smart intelligence.

It's terrible to be uneducated! The son of the abyss held his forehead helplessly, feeling a little helpless.

They can't be blamed for this, Andrei told himself once again that this is a "tragedy" caused by an extremely backward civilization! Andrei said to his subordinates in a gentle tone: "The swamp is a breeding ground for curses, and as I told you before, it hides in snakes, insects, and water sources, and is elusive and undetectable to the naked eye. I tell you to be careful of mosquitoes and try not to touch unclean water, especially when drinking. Through these paths, the curse will lurk into your body, amass power, and when the time comes, it will erupt in the form of sickness and pestilence!"

In order not to make their understanding more difficult, the children of the abyss explained in a way that was as close to the thinking patterns of the demons as possible. Science is systematic, and if we have to explain microbes, parasites, and other things to this group of primitive people who have just mastered the written language, it is tantamount to showing them a whole new and bizarre world. This may be more difficult than Andre trying to understand magic, especially in this magical world, the so-called "science" of the other world is not necessarily completely accurate.

"By boiling the water by heating, it purifies most of the curses and plagues that lurk in the water source, thus greatly reducing the power of the curse, so that the human body can resist the remaining faint curses with its own strength. ”

"Your Highness, Your Highness, will you not be afraid of the erosion of the curse as long as you drink the boiled water?"

"Yes! Now, in the name of the Children of the Abyss, I decree that only purified water can be used to quench thirst and even wash hands and cleanse the body! In addition to water, there is also the blood and meat of prey, and there may be an unspeakable curse lurking, and it is forbidden for anyone to eat it without heat!"

"Your Highness, is this purification all due to the effect of flames?" the fire demon who found the key asked thoughtfully.

"Yes, this is the magic of fire, the power of purification!" Andre pointed to the clay pot in the young succubus's hand, "and the power of making!"

These uses of the flames were not even grasped by themselves as fire demons, but His Highness directly pointed out that this was the key to their escape from the shadow of the curse. In Garuda's impression, water and fire have always been difficult to coexist, but His Highness was able to use an ingenious object made of mud to make them interact with each other, resulting in such a wonderful change!

At this moment, the Flame Demon had thoroughly recognized the rumors in the ranks - there was no doubt about it! This was indeed the will of the Great Abyss, and the Venerable Child of the Abyss, Andrei Gothales, must be the Child of Destiny who led them out of their predicament!

There are countless abyssal lords and tribes large and small around the vast swamp, and no one dares to challenge the curse here!But a child of the abyss who has just descended in front of them can master the power to resist this inexplicable curse, if this is not a miracle of the great will, what kind of miracle is it!?

"My lord, is it also to use fire to bake food to purify the curse power that may exist in it?" The fire demon who had suddenly opened his mind and let go of his mind had begun to learn to draw inferences from one case and change his previous erroneous opinion.

"Not exactly, cooked food has another advantage over raw food. "The children of the abyss, who have become professors, are very relieved that these beings who have grown up in a barbaric civilization are not stupid, they just lack the accumulation of knowledge.

"Cooked food is easier to digest than raw food, and eating cooked food can greatly reduce the burden on the digestive organs, which allows us to get more energy, make our bodies stronger, and our brains smarter. ”

Although there are still many incomprehensible words in His Highness's teachings, at least the Fire Demon understands that those high-ranking demons eat cooked food not just because they have plenty of water to squander, but that doing so has definite benefits for the body and even advancement!

The question that had plagued him for a long time was solved, but another, more important and mysterious question came to light in Garuda's mind, and no one had ever told him these secrets before. Even with his status, there is simply no way to get in touch with the strong people who know these secrets. Of course, he had heard of the noble children of the abyss, this kind of noble bloodline that far surpassed that of ordinary demons, most of them were gifted, and possessed various powerful and mysterious powers, which could be seen from the rich dark magic on the body of His Highness Andre. But after all, His Highness is a newborn son of the abyss, and even if he is far more noble and mature than those lowly cowards, how does he know these hidden secrets?

Is it born to know!?

Garuda faintly felt that His Royal Highness Andre was not just an ordinary son of the abyss. There are many children of the abyss in the Demon Realm, but who has ever heard of any of them who can master this wonderful power to resist the curse of the swamp!?

Andre didn't know that his subordinates had already touched his biggest secret through speculation, and of course he didn't want to deliberately hide it, unless he wanted to pretend to be an ordinary high-level demon and completely bury the knowledge and concepts related to the other world in his heart. But as long as these people remain loyal to him, then even if they know the secret, it will be fine. His experience and wisdom from another world were something that his enemies needed to be particularly guarded against.

"Okay, now that everyone has understood, what to do or what to do. When the hunting team returns, I will announce the rules again. Andre calmed the excited subordinates and turned to the fire demon to explain, "There are so many mouths in the entire clan, but you are the only one with experience in making pottery, and your task is still very heavy. ”

"Yes! "Even among the ranks of the conquests, there are few people who can influence the fate of the entire tribe on their own. The entire team and His Royal Highness were only ninety-three people in total, so what could they do with a jar in their hands, as long as the threat of the curse could be eliminated, it was all worth it. Without the threat of the curse, the swamp is a treasure land with abundant food and water!!

At this moment, the seemingly insurmountable obstacle that stood in front of the exiles has become a great opportunity for them to survive and grow stronger!!

"Livia, you can take some of the food left over from yesterday and give it to Garuda in a moment, so that he has enough food. Also, don't let other small things like fire sources and tinder affect his rest!" Andrei can foresee that under his leadership, this group of exiles who were originally down will usher in a double leap forward in material and civilization.

"......!?Yes, Your Highness, your will is my wish!" Livia was not as excited as her subordinates, and the young succubus, who had just seemed to be thinking about something important, was suddenly awakened by the order of the Children of the Abyss. Although he understood that Andrei's orders were the focus of the future development of the tribe, his mind did not seem to have completely turned back.

So what do you say?

Happiness came so suddenly!
