"What did your father do?"

"He is the alchemy master of the hall. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Alchemy Grandmaster, so powerful?"

"Hmm. ”

"Then he didn't leave anything for you, such as alchemy weapons and the like, was that piece of fire source given to you by your father last time?"

"No, it was left to me by another person. Ian paused, "Everything about my parents is left in Liuyun. ”

Nicole was silent.

At this time, Nicole was sleeping on a small hard bed, covered with a futon that smelled of sunlight. She turned to the side and saw Ian lying on the desk, eyes open and not knowing what he was thinking. The soft moonlight poured on his face through the window, and seemed to bring him an imperceptible sadness.

"That. Nicole hesitated for a long time, but couldn't help but ask, "Dragon Emperor, is it terrifying?"

Nicole remembered what Ian had mentioned to her in Lutheran's Jungle Cave that the classification of the Dragon Emperor was catastrophic. A long time ago, she learned about the disaster from her grandfather's conversation with others, but when she asked his grandfather, his grandfather, who loved her the most, told her nothing. So she was very curious, and this curiosity was like a kitten scratching her heart, which was unbearable.

Instead of answering, Ian closed his eyes and rolled over, leaving Nicole with a back. Nicole stuck out her tongue and didn't ask any more, so she wrapped herself in the quilt and closed her eyes, and before long she fell asleep.

Due to its proximity to the volcanic mountains, even in autumn in Alder, the nights are still hot and dry. Nicole, who was asleep, also muttered and kicked the quilt and turned over because of the heat, muttering incomprehensible dream words in her mouth.

Ian turned and opened his eyes. He didn't know how to answer Nicole's question just now, what words should be used to describe the power of the Dragon Emperor? He couldn't find an adjective, and Nicole couldn't understand it, so he simply didn't say anything for a long time.

Ian lay down for a long time, but never fell asleep. Eventually he climbed off the table, walked to the bedside, and looked up at the moon. He had always felt that the moon was a kaleidoscopic thing, sometimes gentle and gentle like a mother's hand, sometimes ancient and dangerous, which reminded Ian of the fear of ten years ago.

Dragon Emperor, Mussolini.

Ian reached out to the moon and spread his hand, completely covering it.

"After this autumn, it will be eleven years. Ian whispered, and then his outstretched hand clenched into a fist as if to crush the moon in the sky.

A man in the courtyard opposite Ian got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, and faintly heard movement in the opposite yard. So he glanced out in a daze, and the whole person was awake in an instant. Because he saw two clusters of red flames floating in the air in the window of the courtyard opposite.

He was frightened into a cold sweat, subconsciously closed his eyes, and muttered that it must be me who saw the flowers, and I saw the flowers. Sure enough, when I opened my eyes again, there was nothing left.

Ian returned to his desk, lifted his sleeves, and looked at the dragon flame mark on his right arm in confusion. Because at the moment when he clenched his fist just now, the Long Yan Seal suddenly had a tingling pain, but it was fleeting. Ian thought it was his delusion, so he didn't take it to heart, shook his head, breathed a sigh of relief, and then lay down to sleep.

......

A few thousand meters away from Alder, two men dressed as hunters sneakily dodged a wooden lookout and ventured into the depths of the volcanic mountain range. The people on the lookout were napping and didn't notice the two men, so the two of them snuck in.

"I say, what's going on in the hall?" said the taller man, who straightened his back and grumbled after moving away from the lookout, "I don't even give the volcano in, and it's clear that we don't want to beg for food." ”

"Hell knows, I really thought that all the hunters in the world would listen to them. The short man pursed his lips disdainfully, "But just leave him alone, just come in." No matter how powerful the hall is, it won't be monitored into the mountains. Let's just do our own business, I heard that the fire crystal has been auctioned at a sky-high price in the imperial capital, if we get one, tut-tut. ”

The tall man sounded very excited, but he was a little hesitant: "I heard that the fire crystal can only be found in the depths of the mountain range, will it be dangerous?"

"Please, what's the danger of a volcano. The short man said, "Unless you can't walk steadily, and you just fall into the lava." Hey, I mean, you're such a big man, you can't walk steadily, right?"

"Hu, nonsense!" the big man was excited by success, "Go and go, who is afraid of whom?"

After making up their minds, the two began to walk towards the depths of the volcanic mountain range. On the outskirts of the mountains, most of them are extinct volcanoes, and the deeper you go, the more active volcanoes you pass. In the deepest part of the volcanic mountain range, there are several active volcanoes that have been around for hundreds of years and nearly 1,000 years, and at the foot of the mountains you can see scorching magma bursting from the summits.

It is not uncommon for lava to burst out of the summit and flow down the mountain. The high temperature of thousands of degrees will evaporate the impurities in some ores, leaving behind the parts with strong heat resistance, which are crystal clear, so they are called fire crystals. Whether it's used as an ornament or something else, it has extraordinary value.

These two men came to find the fire crystal. Therefore, only the most active volcanoes have the highest probability of igneous crystall.

The two walked to the depths of the mountain range, and the tall man looked up at the sparks bursting and beating on the top of the mountain, as well as the faint black smoke, and his heart was vague. And the short man had his eyes shining: "That's right, just walk here, put your eyes on the bright spots, don't miss the fire crystal for Lao Tzu." That piece is enough to buy you a few dozen. ”

The tall man nodded, and then climbed up the hill after the short man. The active volcano wasn't really high, and they had climbed halfway up the mountain in the blink of an eye. The tall man felt the temperature around him rise a lot, and his body was soaked with sweat. So he looked up again, and felt that the spark on the top of the mountain seemed to be close at hand, and suddenly felt a feeling of dizziness. He had a very strange feeling, he felt that the volcano in front of him was not like a volcano, but like, a king's throne, a formidable throne.

And the short man was still climbing up, and the closer he got to the top, the steeper the mountain became. So the short man used his hands and feet together, and kept muttering, "My fire crystal, my fire crystal." ”

"Hey, forget it. The tall man suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, so he shouted at the short man, "It's too dangerous!"

"Danger you are big, this active volcano has not erupted for hundreds of years, will it erupt at this time?" the short man shouted, "You are really- hey, fire crystal! I saw it! Hahahahaha, Lao Tzu is going to be developed, this is Lao Tzu himself discovered, you can't rob me!"

The tall man watched the short man climb up like a mad dog, and muttered to himself: Is it really me who is too worried? No, I have to go too, and I can't let him finish picking up the fire crystal alone.

Just as he was about to leave, the earth suddenly trembled.

Then, he heard a "bang", like the sound of a mountain rock breaking, far away in the sky, but it felt close in front of him. At this moment, the uneasiness in his heart suddenly rose to an inexplicable height, and fear exploded in his heart like a volcanic eruption.

At this moment, he didn't want anything anymore, what fire crystal, what ghost gold coins. He just wants to go now, he just wants to get out of here alive. So he shouted one last thing to the short man, but the short man ignored it and frantically pounced on his fire crystal.

The tall man felt his whole body tremble, and his heart seemed to tell him: Run, run. So he turned around sharply and was about to run away. The moment he turned, the earth trembled again.

Then there was a voice, a voice that didn't seem to belong to this world. In that moment, he felt his eardrum rupture, and the blood was pouring down.
