Chapter 370: Abyssal Embers

"Yes, the Embers of the Abyss. Seredor seemed to be a little afraid and disgusted by this kind of thing, and it was obvious in his tone that he didn't even want to go into more details about it, and just responded briefly and didn't say anything more.

Instead, inside the prayer house, the nun spoke very abruptly: "That is the ember of the most filthy soul, and it is both the purest and the dirtiest. She paused, as if hesitating at something, but she turned to Leo and said, "This filth should not be possessed by anyone, it is better to purify it." ”

"Haha! You Baijiao still have such a face, a face for your good, so you should hand over your treasure to us. The three warriors immediately shouted at the nun with disdain: "The treasures of our tribe were taken away by your White Sect under this pretext, and if you don't give them to you, you will use heresy as an excuse to attack others." With that, they said to Leo, "Don't worry, strangers, if these white sect guys dare to do anything, the three of us brothers will definitely be on your side." ”

Leo didn't expect such a big reaction from an ordinary question, and it can be guessed that the value of this abyssal ember is probably extraordinary.

"Young man, I want to make a deal with you. At this moment, the old man who was reading the book suddenly said to Leo: "I can see that you have no interest in the Abyss Embers, you actually want to get information about this royal city of the gods from the guy who picked up the corpse, I can give you the most detailed information about the royal city, in exchange, you give the Abyss Ember to ......"

"No, if you want information about the royal city, I can provide it to you as well. Without waiting for the old man to finish speaking, the nun of the White Sect immediately said forcefully.

The nun's behavior of interfering in the middle made the old man very dissatisfied, and he snorted coldly and looked at the nun.

Although the old man simply turned his head one by one, it was like a great enemy for the three people of the White Sect, and the two knights who had always been silent were one left and one right, blocking the nun's body, and the big shield in his hand was held in front of him, completely in a defensive posture.

The old man didn't make any further moves, as Leo and Seredor were walking towards him, and it was clear that Leo had already chosen a trade partner.

Leo stood in front of the old man and said in a deep voice: "I need to read the information first, and after reading the information, I feel that the information is enough, and I will hand over this thing to you." ”

The old man also seemed very cautious, and said, "How do I know if you will give me something after you get my information?"

"You should be very strong, otherwise, the two groups of them would not be so afraid of you. Leo said unhurriedly, "Would someone as powerful as you still worry about me defaulting on my debts?"

"That being said, I can't leave the campfire for a while because of the rules. As the old man spoke, he suddenly looked up at the masked woman sitting on the beam above his head, as if he was talking to the masked woman in some way, and soon he returned to his normal state, and then turned to Leo, and said, "I can give you information first, and I don't want the Abyss Embers, you can help me find something." ”

Leo frowned, he didn't like this vague condition, so he didn't plan to make any more deals with the old man, and turned his head to look at the three people of the White Sect, but those three people also seemed to have lost interest in the Abyss Ember, and they didn't even look at this side, and they didn't have the slightest idea of contacting Leo.

Seeing this situation, Leo didn't understand what was going on, and looked up at the masked woman on the beam and said, "Since you want to trade with me, talk to me directly, there is no need to do this." ”

Hearing Leo's words, the old man reading the book on the side smiled lightly, and then sat back by the campfire, quietly feeling the faint temperature brought to him by the bonfire, and ignored Leo no longer as if the conversation just now did not exist at all.

At the same time, the masked woman sitting on the beam of the room leaped down from the beam, and when she was about to land, the scepter in her hand shook, and a magic array similar to the Gamoret language and the runes of the dream world was formed under her feet, and she was held up, and slowly fell to the ground, standing on the other side of the bonfire, looking at Leo.

Although there is a mask to obstruct it, Leo can still clearly feel the masked woman's gaze sweeping over her body, and this time her gaze is no longer a simple glance at the appearance, but also accompanied by a kind of spiritual network similar to the power of trying to check Leo's body.

This way of looking at it made Leo instinctively recall the experience of returning to the factory for maintenance, which was definitely not a good experience, and the disgust made him instinctively resist, and the spiritual network simulated into a network of interference energy, dispelling the probing power that tried to penetrate his body.

Although she couldn't find out about Leo's situation, the masked girl didn't show annoyance, but lowered her posture to apologize to Leo, saying, "I'm sorry, I always can't help but probe everyone who comes to the prayer center, and I hope it doesn't affect you." ”

The woman's voice is very crisp, giving people the feeling of spring water flowing in the forest, which makes people can't help but alleviate the disgust in their hearts, and it is clear that this is a very special natural ability.

"Who are you?" Leo said after all, he had the willpower of a ninth-level psionic power, and he was not affected by the innate ability of a woman, but still looked at each other vigilantly and said.

"She's supposed to be the fire guard of the campfire, and the embodiment of the original embers. Without waiting for the woman to answer, Seredor on the side had already answered for the masked woman, and he also made a knightly salute to the masked woman very carefully, and said, "It is a pleasure to see you here, great devotional daughter. ”

"You've won the prize!" the masked woman replied modestly.

Leo looked at this newly met friend with some puzzlement, although the other party was a little arrogant, but he shouldn't bow his head and surrender when the other party only said a word.

Seeing the obvious puzzled expression on Leo's face, Seredor could also guess what Leo was thinking, and quickly explained: "The previous fire defense women are the greatest women in the world, and if you want to become a fire defense woman, you not only need the most holy body and soul, but also an unyielding will, and the spirit of voluntary dedication, because the moment they become fire defense women, until death, they have to bear the erosion of the abyss every moment, and the pain caused by that erosion is unimaginable to ordinary people." And it is precisely because of the existence of these fire defense women that the fire of our world will not be extinguished, and we can avoid falling into the abyss. ”

Leo listened to Seredor's excited explanation, and there was no turmoil in his heart, as if he was listening to some gossip, but he could see from Seredor's demeanor that his reverence for the Fire Defense Girl was from the heart, not bewitched by some external force.

At this time, Seredor said to the masked girl very cautiously: "Please tell me if you have anything, although I cannot make decisions for my friends, but I can make decisions for myself, and I am more than willing to solve any problem for you, even if it is to give my life for it." ”

Hearing Seredor say this, Leo didn't know how to react for a while, and could only look at this stupid onion knight with both anger and amusement. Although Seredore emphasized that he could only make his own decisions and could not influence Leo's decision, if Seredor really wanted to do something, Leo didn't want to see something happen to this new friend who was quite compatible, so he would naturally follow.

It's just that what Leo didn't expect was that the masked woman did not use Seredol to influence Leo's decision, but refused: "Thank you for your kindness, it's just that this mission is not suitable for you, and you seem to have some problems with your body, it is best to stay in the prayer house during this time, with the help of the bonfire, it can relieve your symptoms." ”

"I'm not afraid of life and death. Seredor said with his chest puffed out.

The masked woman whispered with relief, "I hope Your Excellency can live, because only those who are alive can do more. ”

Seledor was silent for a moment, then said, "You're right, I'll live well." As he spoke, he turned to Leo and said, "My friend, you don't have to change your mind because of my attitude, you decide for yourself whether you want to agree to the request of Your Excellency Fire Defense." ”

With that, he stepped aside and said no more.

Leo looked at his new friend a little speechlessly, shook his head slightly, and then looked at Seredor with an expressionless face, and asked: "If you have anything you want me to do, tell me, if it is not very troublesome, and it can interest me, I will be willing to help you with this, of course, the reward should not be less." ”

The masked woman shook her head and said, "It's better for you to take a look at the information about the royal city first, otherwise even if I tell you about it now, you won't know how dangerous this matter is, and it's not fair to you." ”

With that, she turned and plunged the scepter into the fire, and when she pulled it out, there was a very thick, plainly bound tome at the tip of the scepter.

The Masked Woman took the manual from her scepter and handed it to Leo, saying, "The man who wrote this book is a Pharadia from the Dragon Academy, and he is also the outsider who has been in the royal city for the longest time, his footprints are almost all over the royal city, and he has also recorded everything about the royal city, although the book was written hundreds of years ago, but the time of the royal city is eternal, and the content of this is still applicable to the present. ”

Leo didn't know if the book was good or not until he looked at it, but he could see the sound of the old man reading the book by the campfire, and he could sense that the book was probably of great value, at least not much worse than the embers of the abyss.

In this regard, Leo was not polite, took the book directly, and then sat in the stands on one side and quickly flipped through it.

The book is written in a script that Leo has never seen, but just as the different languages here can be understood by others, the unknown words written on paper can be easily read by Leo.

The Pharadia of the Dragon Academy recorded what he saw and heard in great detail, not only with a large amount of text, but also with carefully drawn patterns, so that the reader could easily learn about the topography of the royal city, special buildings, and hidden secrets from the book.

Although the book has a lot of content, it still doesn't take much time for someone like Leo to read it, and all the data is recorded in the head and can be accessed at any time.

Through this book, Leo also learned the origin of the Abyss Ember with great conviction.

It turns out that only heroes who have been fighting with the abyss for many years can be infected with the power of the abyss, which cannot be cured, and as it accumulates, the power of the abyss becomes stronger and stronger, and finally exceeds the limit of patience of those who fight with the abyss, and then is controlled by the abyss and becomes a warrior of the abyss.

Only when someone kills an abyssal warrior who was once a hero head-on, and that abyssal warrior prays and repents to any of the gods who exist or do not exist before he dies, he condenses an abyssal ember before he is reduced to ashes.

It is precisely because of the harsh conditions that the number of Abyssal Embers is extremely rare, and the effect of Abyssal Embers is also very special, which can increase the overall strength of the user for a long time. Crushing the Abyssal Ember is equivalent to using it, and the user will be able to gain nearly double the power bonus for a long time, so the more powerful the person who uses it, the better the effect.

It's just that the vast majority of people with Abyss Ember will choose to use it when their strength reaches the limit, so that he can find out the direction of his strength improvement by checking the details of the rapid increase in power, and then cross this difficult path that most people can't cross.

However, the use of Abyssal Ember is not without drawbacks, as the name suggests, the power of the Abyss is also contained in the Abyssal Ember, when using the Abyss Ember, the user will inevitably be infected by the power of the Abyss, and go through a test of the will of the Abyss, if you do not pass the test, you will become a new Abyss Warrior.

Even if you pass the test, the matter will not end there, and for a long time after that, the user will suffer the erosion of the power of the abyss, and go through dozens of tests of the will of the abyss, as long as one cannot support the past, then everything done before will be in vain, but if the past is supported, then according to legend, the user will have the opportunity to peek into the secrets of the gods.

After reading the introduction to Abyssal Embers, Leo couldn't help but be curious about Abyssal Embers, because from the above description, it was obvious that the users of Abyssal Embers would eventually reach the level of eighth-level psionics or above, otherwise, there would be no chance to peek into the mysteries of the gods, that is, omega-level high-level lifeforms.

This also made him have an urge to use this Abyss Ember immediately to see if it really had such a powerful effect as he guessed, as for the test of the abyssal will, he didn't pay attention to it at all, after all, even if the willpower of a ninth-level psionic was an omega-level high-level lifeform, it was impossible for his will to collapse before killing him physically.
