Chapter 5 The Daughter of the Guardian Flame
Gwen left while Yin Li was still asleep, and Lucas was held in Gwen's arms, without even a single piece of clothing.
Gwen tore off her dress and wrapped Lucas, and used her body temperature to keep young Lucas warm.
"Wow!" a crisp and shrill cry reached Gwen's ears, and she, who had never taken care of a child, hurried away while hurriedly coaxing him.
"Don't cry, I'll take care of you. "It's not as easy as words to take care of, little Lucas is still very cold, so cold that he even cries and shivers all the time.
Gwen searched the memories in her brain, most of the magic spells were useless to coax the child, and the only one that was useful was the fireball technique, which kept the child warm and bright.
Gwen chanted the spell to urge her soul, stretched out her left palm and gradually warmed up, and sparks began to ignite near the delicate palm, and quickly turned into a blazing fireball.
Lucas, on the other hand, did not have an unknown fear of seeing the flames like other children, but had an unusual excitement about the fire, and even forgot about the burning sensation for a while.
Putting his white little hand into the fire, even if his hand turned into charcoal, he still smiled happily, and Gwen was a little helpless when he saw this.
With his soul soothing Lucas's wounds, his charred little hands were restored to their original state.
"Wand...... Wand...... I need to get out of this damn place!"
Gwen stomped her foot angrily, puffing out like an untrained girl.
Just a dead twig can't do a lot of teleportation-like magic, Gwen thought to herself, "If only there were dwarves or undead, at least their bones could be used to teleport." ”
Gwen thought and moved forward, but the wind and snow were getting stronger and stronger, and Gwen gradually lost sight of the road ahead, and Gwen set off from the valley floor and headed south.
It would take at least hundreds of miles to find an inhabited place, and Lucas couldn't withstand such a heavy snowstorm, and the snowflakes hit Lucas's face, freezing his little face red.
Gwen watched Lucas's dying life, she was already crying, and knelt in place to look at Lucas's closed eyes.
Even though she has powerful magic and a resilient soul, she can't save Lucas, her own son.
Before the tears could cross the corners of her eyes, she was frozen into ice slag by the cold wind and snow, and the surroundings were completely unvisible, and she had to leave today.
If you don't leave today, once Yin Li wakes up, then both herself and Lucas will die at the bottom.
Gwen hugged Lucas at a loss, crying dumbfounded......
At this moment, a woman's moan was heard, and Gwen seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, as long as she killed her, she could get her bones, which meant that she could use teleportation to leave this ghost place.
"Fire ...... Well...... Please give me the flames......" The voice came from the east, and Gwen rushed to the east desperately, but when she found the woman, she couldn't bear to use a spell to kill her.
She was naked, her eyes were gouged out, her cheeks were red, it was not difficult to see that she was a beauty, the blood was frozen into ice beside her, and she curled up in the snow, which reminded Gwen of Lucas, who was about to die in her arms.
His hair was as blonde as wheat in a rice field, and he was soft in no part of his body, and he was almost frozen into an iceman.
"Fire ...... Fire ......" she shouted the word fire in a blurred sense, as if the flames were beside her, Gwen walked over to save her, but she suddenly stretched out her frozen hand to grab Gwen.
Gwen was startled and wanted to break away, but she didn't expect her to catch it, she gradually let go of her hand and said, "Please touch my soul......"
Gwen lowered her body and touched the woman with her hand, but she didn't react at all, Gwen was a little disappointed, Lucas didn't know when he woke up, and actually opened his mouth to say a word: "Fire......!
Lucas, who was dying, actually laughed and said unexpectedly, this is just a newborn baby!
"Uh-huh......" Gwen fell silent and placed the child on top of the woman, who seemed to have something to keep warm, her round breasts rubbing against Lucas.
Gradually, the woman regained her senses, and although she couldn't see if there was anyone around, she still thanked her: "I thank you very much, you let me see the flames, see the light...... Can I know your name?"
"Gwynlands, what's your name, and why are you here?" Gwen asked.
"My name is Alice Green, I'm from the Fire Throne of the South, and I'm here to go through the frost test......" Alice hugged Lucas tightly, and Lucas enjoyed being hugged by her.
Hearing Alice say this, Gwen nodded as if believing her statement, and Gwen asked again, "So can you get us out of here?"
"Of course, you saved me and passed the flame to my side, thank you......" After speaking, she stood up, and the flawless ketone body made Gwen a little jealous, and a little shy when she looked at it.
"Then I'll start ......" Alice said as she lifted Lucas high in the air and chanted a spell for about seven or eight minutes, while a fire raged around her!
The three people in the fire circle were gradually engulfed in flames, Gwen was flashed by the firelight, and couldn't help but cover her hand, and when she put down her hand and saw clearly, she had already left the main city of Saka.
Gwen looked around and couldn't help but sigh, "Is this the Throne of Fire?"
There are rooms made of black rock all around, and there is not even a single door in the fully enclosed way, and there are nine thrones around it, and only the recently burned king can sit on the throne.
They are the Sage: Rodoldelon, the King of Men: Harvey Echungett, the Ancient Dragon of Ice: Mosica, the Sun Princess: Emma Austin, the Lord of Chaos: Immanuel Goethe, the Prince of Fire: Ryan Garcia and the Sinner: Laika Garcia, the Devouring Goddess: Demeter, and the First King: Betusi.
Of the nine thrones, only eight of them reigned, and one of them was missing, and the lower floor was the throne, and the upper floor was not known for what it was used for.
There are nine gates behind the throne, this is where the fire protector girl is located in the past dynasties, and the reason why the fire protector is called the fire protector is actually the abbreviation of the flame guardian girl.
It has been thousands of years since the first generation of the fire protector, but it is declining more and more, and now it has become a (son) who sells her body for the soul.
When Gwen saw that there was no one to sit on the ninth throne anymore, he couldn't help but say, "Why are there only eight people reigning on the nine thrones?"
"That's because one of the Salary Kings is gone, and these eight Salary Kings are experiencing the burning of fire, providing a powerful and powerful soul for the First Fire. ”
Alice appeared behind Gwen at some point, wearing a black dress, a pair of wedges on her feet, and her whole body was dressed in pure black.
The place where her eyes had been gouged out was already wearing a gem-encrusted blindfold, and Alice sat on the stone steps and watched Gwen still holding Lucas in her arms.
"Actually, I don't have much interest in passing the fire at all, what I'm more curious about is your eyes. Gwen slowly approached Alice and took the child in her arms.
The throne of fire was uncomfortably empty and dim, and there was very little light, Alice smiled miserably......
"Actually, this place used to be very good...... The Salary Kings and the Fire Guards are good friends who talk about everything, and they let us be careful about our bodies until the moment we go to sleep. But the fire grew weaker and weaker...... The Salary Kings have gradually weakened, and now the Fire Guardian Girls have fallen, and they sell their bodies in order to delay their old age and survive. And I have finally gone through the test, from a saint of the Holy Religion to a true flame protector......"
Alice's smile still does not change, but there is a hint of bitterness, even if you can't see her eyes, you can see the sadness in her heart.
After Alice finished speaking, she suddenly reacted: "I'm sorry, you're asking my eyes, I'm talking too much." My eyes were gouged out by other fire-guarding girls when they were put to trial, stripped me naked, and thrown away in the trial grounds...... Maybe they want to put me to a harder test and make me stronger. ”
She smiled happily and seemed to really believe what she said, and Gwen shook her head, "You're lying to yourself, aren't you?"
Alice lowered her head and didn't speak again, Gwen looked at Lucas's happy eyes, if it wasn't for Alice then Lucas wouldn't have survived.
"Hey, then I'll help you get your eyes back!"
"No need ......"
"I can't refuse this child's eyes, even if this child shows me a dead end, I'll go on......" he said and kissed Lucas on the forehead affectionately, handing him to Alice......
