The high priest rotates every twenty years.

Before today, Amy, like most people, believed that the rotating High Priest would become another hidden senator of the Hemtika City Council. But at this moment he realized his shallowness and ignorance, the so-called rotation is just a white lie, the reason why the successive high priests will conventionally rotate every twenty years, is simply because their lives can only support this time, when the first fire is passed on to the next one, the annual rings of the years will appear on the ** for the first time - even if they are lucky not to die, with the old body with withered vitality, there are no years left to live.

- If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.

It's no exaggeration to say that they truly dedicate everything they have to the city.

For that alone, he sighed to himself.

Perhaps he would be the least responsible of all the high priests......

The young Glory Man couldn't help but think that the blood inherited from the ancestors in his body jumped with the firstborn fire, and in a trance, his spirit began to rise, and the long-sealed memory in the depths of his consciousness opened an insignificant gap to him, and then ...... He saw, saw something great beyond human cognition.

It is difficult to get a glimpse of the whole picture of him with the fragile spirit of man, it is difficult to describe it in the barren words of human beings, just existence itself occupies all his mind, even his brain cannot function, even his mind cannot function, at this moment he can only passively and without resistance to accept what he sees in front of him.

Is that...... Light, infinite brilliance.

as well as doors.

Behind Him there is a door to darkness.

"Open the door. ”

Almost meaningless muttering, with a single glance, the young Glory One determined that the mission he had awakened under Ildan was to find and open this door, this door to darkness—what would happen when it was opened, what would happen to him, and what effect would it have on the world?

So much so that he forgot that what he saw now was nothing more than a simple memory.

So, until the end, he couldn't take even a single step.

All that can be done is to follow the upward movement of the perspective and meet the "eye" in the center of the infinite light, which is like a crystal, a pearl, and a brilliant sphere as bright as a diamond.

Then a sound sounded.

“——”

Sharp and long, a hundred times harsher than the deliberate friction of metal, the murmur pierced the entire brain in an instant.

Then the whole world shattered like a mirror, and Amy Ulysses's spirit fell from a great height, completely subconsciously covering the beating left ribcage of the nascent fire, only the heart-like pulse sound could bring a trace of warmth to his cold consciousness.

"What's wrong?" The old and unsightly high priest noticed his abnormality, his black eyes narrowed slightly, and his small eyes were almost buried in deep wrinkles, "In order to retain enough power to contain Pandora, I have not passed on the abilities of the previous high priests to you, and considering the fragile spirit of human beings, I also deliberately deleted the part about the truth of the world that was burned in the nascent fire during the inheritance, this inheritance is not complete, if there is any discomfort, please be sure to tell me as soon as possible." ”

"No, nothing. Instinctively, the boy never said anything about what he saw in his memory.

"You don't look like nothing," Edgar looked at him for a moment before shaking his head, "Forget it, if you insist." ”

Everyone has their own little secrets, and the former high priest does not intend to get to the bottom of it.

"Thank you. ”

For this unexpected understanding, the young glorious man expressed his gratitude at the right time.

However, before the two could communicate further, there was a loud "boom" sound, and the entire lineage shook like a small branch and leaf on a big tree that had been kicked by someone.

"What happened?" Amy's balance was not bad, although the incident happened suddenly, but it was not enough to fall because of this, but she stabilized her swaying body and frowned, "They found out?"

"Nope. Although Edgar looked old, he didn't know what means he used, but he still maintained a certain degree of contact with the fire, and the shaking did not make his body move at all, "The inheritance relies on the existence of the fire, and the vibration just now is the foundation of their shaking between the inheritances. ”

They undoubtedly refer to the dark ministers led by Pandora.

The foundation, on the other hand, refers to the tinder.

"How much time do we have?"

"Not much," the former High Priest, the young Glory, still prefers to call him High Priest in his heart, because the young man really does not have the consciousness of being the High Priest of the Temple of Hephaestus, "The strength of the High Priest is rooted in the fire, but it is not limited to the fire, I have secretly intercepted the power that should have been passed on to you, and used the authority to temporarily control your connection with the fire, but this abnormal state cannot last long, even if they do not attack the fire, we must act as soon as possible." ”

He paused, his brow inevitably showing fatigue.

"I'm running out of time. ”

"Hmm. ”

No more words, Amy Ulysses did not intend to squander the opportunity Edgar had created, not only for herself, not just for Hermtika, but also for the sacrifice of the revered man who had dedicated his life to Hemtika.

"Then," Edgar's stiff body made a crisp "crackling" sound under the prolonged tone, and the withered muscles were once again filled with fresh flesh and blood, and the wrinkled cheeks were rejuvenated, as sudden as the previous aging, but in a few moments, the high priest of Hemtika City regained his former demeanor, revealing a sunny and hearty smile, "Now let's go." ”

"I'm ready. ”

Without too many words, the boy replied directly—perhaps because he was able to glimpse his weak nature through Edgar's sunny smile under the influence of the newborn fire—the strength in front of him was only superficial, and the high priest who seemed to be extremely high-spirited was actually no more vigorous than a dying man, and it was only because he burned the rest of his life as fuelwood that he was able to temporarily maintain his physical condition in the prime of life.

As he said, time was running out for him.

Win or lose this battle, he will surely die.

"I will try to intercept the enemy as much as possible, but in the face of Pandora, no one dares to say enough. The High Priest of Hemtika raised an eyebrow, and finally straightened out his somewhat wrinkled white robes, "So, you must be prepared to be pursued—the man who has been following Pandora is no easy to match, and I have seen a team of temple guards die without resistance to his power, and he has not even stopped his steps. ”

"Don't look at ......"

Amy couldn't help but recall the clues she saw in the temple of Hephaestus, and it was the gloomy man who followed Pandora and didn't have a strong sense of presence that killed those temple guards, but the so-called don't look at what it was referring to, relying on the existing information still couldn't deduce the information that could come in handy.

"Don't look?" Edgar raised an eyebrow.

"It's a clue left desperately by a temple guard, but judging from the information gathered so far, there is no use value. The boy shook his head, and the conversation changed, "Of course, it's best not to run into situations that can make it useful. ”

"I hope so. Edgar let out a low sigh, then raised his head again, his gaze resting on Amy's body again, his eyes revealing complex emotions, "Amy, convey your will to the fire through the firstborn fire, it's time for us to go." ”

How?

The young Glory Man was stunned, and then tried to communicate with the fire that was pulsating within him—through the prosaic nascent fire, his consciousness faintly touched the cold corner of a great being, and his spirit rose again, and a scene of uncertainty or fantasy emerged before him.

That's fire.

Even if it is quite weak at this moment, even if it is crumbling like a candle in the wind at this moment, it still has a kind of awe-inspiring transcendence over heaven and earth, and still has a majestic momentum that connects heaven and earth.

This is the tinder.

Like an ant looking up at the sky, the magnificent scenery fills the heart.

What to do?

He looked at the flames in front of him, felt the newborn fire rising in his mid-chest, and gave the order.

"Let's get out, back to Hemtika, back to the temple of Hephaestus—"

The pitch-black pupils reflected orange flames, and then extended out from the pupils with the momentum of a prairie fire, sweeping away the two people between the inheritances.

At the same time, all the visions in front of Amy's eyes shattered, and only the wasteland of the crystalline earth appeared in front of her.

I'm back.

"Run!"

Before he could sigh, Edgar's short voice was coming from behind him.

The boy didn't look back, nor did he look at how the battle was going, his body took action before his thoughts, and the windbreaker that had been restored between the inheritances flew behind him, and the whole person turned into a black aurora.

Scorch!

Although the inheritance of the high priest is not complete, and his strength has not changed substantially, through the baptism of the nascent fire and the purification of the bloodline, the strength of his body has faintly increased by three points, and even the speed has been greatly improved.

However, no matter how fast humanity is, it cannot die faster.

After only a few breaths, the sound of a crow flapping its wings could be heard behind him.

Alfred the Dark Wizard?

Amy was extremely wary of the dark ministers who had killed him more than once, and subconsciously turned around while hearing the sound of crows flapping their wings.

Then he saw the Grim Reaper, the black Grim Reaper.

Beyond space, but also beyond time.

Death's scythe swings down—

Blood splattered.

Death, as scheduled.
