Chapter 011: The Face in the Fire

Lawrence was the first to follow Maude Sr. into the cave, and Kenny and Alan looked at each other, and the two of them showed a particularly helpless look and went into the cave one after the other. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The two of them bowed their heads and walked through the narrow cave to Old Maude's residence, at this time the secret door on the side had been opened, and when they entered the cave dungeon, Old Maude had already opened the gauze wrapped in tribulus terrestris, and carefully looked at the magical green fruit.

Old Maude carefully picked up a tribulus terrestris, brushed it and jumped on Lawrence's shoulder, looking back at the two who were late, the fire on the wall of the dungeon kept flickering, and Old Maude's face suddenly showed a mysterious expression.

"Thank you! Kind and stupid human beings! This green fire in front of you is not a divine fire at all, but a flame that traps the demon, I have been waiting for two thousand years! Finally, I have been waiting for you, as long as I throw the tribulus terrestris in my hand into the fire, the demon of ten thousand fires will awaken, and all the creatures on this continent will be destroyed!!!

Kenny and Alan had no expression on their faces, and they both froze in place and looked at the almost crazy old Maude.

"Uh... Why do you two have such expressions? Old Maude put away the terrifying expression just now, turned his head and asked Lawrence, "Am I not good enough to perform, why don't these two people reflect at all?"

"You lost old Maude, the jar of berry wine under the straw couch is mine, don't be fooled. Lawrence looked at Old Maude smugly.

Old Maude jumped off Lawrence's shoulder with a disappointed face, his head drooping like a child, he walked up to Kenny's feet and looked up and asked Kenny, "Okay, okay, I lost, this was a particularly unsuccessful show, but can any of you tell me where there is a flaw in my words?"

Kenny crouched down, touched old Maude's head and said, "If it's really as you say, how can you still have time to say so many lines, and the earth spirits can only live for four or five hundred years, why do you wait for us for two thousand years, old Maude, can you use your brain before the next joke, although it's all mush." ā€

Old Maud didn't take Kenny's words, the taunts sounded a little harsh, and he turned and jumped back onto Lawrence's shoulder, throwing the tribulus terrestris in his hand into the divine fire.

After a few seconds, the divine fire slowly began to change, and circles of red flames appeared around the green fire, and the flames of the two colors were intertwined, like two elves dancing in the brazier.

The red fire was like a flower-waisted snake wrapped around the green fire, and the red fire became higher and higher, as if the red dancer stretched out his hands and hugged his dance partner tightly, and its fingertips slowly slid from the partner's hips down the back to the shoulders until it surrounded the whole green fire.

After a few more seconds, the bottom of the divine fire slowly transformed from red back to green, and the circles of red fire were like a flame beauty that was transforming, gradually changing back to its original appearance.

"It seems that the book is right, this thing is indeed the fuel of the divine fire, you see, is the divine fire a little more vigorous than before?" Old Maude finished speaking, and then picked up a few tribulus terrestris and threw them into the brazier.

"We've got it back for you, Alan and I almost died in the pine cone forest, don't forget our agreement. Kenny didn't forget to remind Old Maude, who was busy with his work.

"Of course, the Earth Spirit Clan never breaks their promises, you set up a garrison on the north side of the village, and I will send someone to help your soldiers apply the seal, so that they can enter and leave Nanna Village at will in the future. Old Maude looked at the divine fire in the brazier with satisfaction, and a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

Lawrence helped Old Maud put the remaining tribulus terrestris in the stone trough under the brazier for later use, and after doing all this, Kenny and Lawrence turned around and walked to the secret door to leave the dungeon, and just as Alan followed Lawrence and was about to leave, he felt that the cloak behind his back was being pulled.

Old Maude let go of the hand holding the cloak, and followed Lawrence behind him towards the secret door with small steps, Alan looked at Old Maude's back in confusion, and before he could ask the reason, a voice appeared in Alan's ear.

"Wait. ā€

Alan stopped and looked around to find that there was no one else, the voice sounded a little familiar, and the divine fire on the side jumped a few times, attracting Allen's attention.

Alan turned his head to look at Shenhuo, and was shocked to find that a handsome woman's face appeared in Shenhuo, and that face was all too familiar to him.

"Don't worry, they can't hear me, I just wanted to ask you, okay?"

The echo of the dungeon was very loud, and the voice kept surrounding the dungeon, but there were no people who had already left first to turn back, Alan nodded at the face of the woman in the divine fire, and the woman's face showed a good-looking smile.

"Come back early. ā€

After saying those few words, the familiar woman's face disappeared into the divine fire, and Alan stared at the green firelight, remembering the purpose of his coming here.

"Hey, Alan, what are you doing? That fire can't be eaten!" Old Maude, who had already walked away, turned and shouted at Alan.

"It's coming, it's coming!" said Allen, walking towards the group.

By the time Alan walked out of the dungeon, Lawrence and Kenny were already sitting on the edge of the grass and eating Old Maude's berry wine.

The communication between Old Maud and the earth spirits was very smooth, more than 1,000 soldiers were stationed in Nanna Village, and the kind little earth spirits welcomed the visiting guests, and the village had not been outsiders for a long time, and for a time the whole village was lively as if it had celebrated the Spirit Festival in advance.

After the power of the Divine Fire was restored, the radius of the village's illusion increased by a full two miles, and Kenny and Lawrence led the soldiers over the stone towers of the Earth Spirits to the north of the village to begin the construction of a permanent station.

I have to say that the place provided by Old Maud is really good, there are all kinds of water, stones, wood, if you want to build a city here, I am afraid it is a little difficult, but if you only build a long-term station, it is really suitable, after all, with the protection of the illusion, they no longer have to worry about the appearance of wild beasts and aliens at night, and they no longer have to wake up in their sleep often like the previous days.

Thousands of soldiers began to shovel the snow off the ground, and in a short time they cleared a large enough clearing, Kenny divided the soldiers into three groups, one led by Lawrence to cut wood, one led by Allen to gather stone, and he himself led more than a hundred soldiers out hunting.

The soldiers assigned to hunt followed Kenny out of the illusion, the winter sun shining on everyone's faces, and for the first time in the hearts of the people who had left the city of Karta, they felt a sense of belonging that only appeared before each expedition, as if someone was waiting for them to return.

Kenny shook the reins, and the horse crossed the creek as it passed, and the group headed north.
