Chapter 23: The Lava King

"I'm sorry Amis, you're right, we can't change anything. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

White Night said gloomily, he was just a little beggar who had nothing to worry about, and what could he do but comfort Amis in the face of the evil deeds of the Blue Cardinal. Even...... Bai Ye was a little glad that when he met the Blue Cardinal before, he didn't have that disgusting desire for himself.

"It's okay, it's okay anymore. Amis wiped his tears and stood up with his still trembling hands, his face without a trace of blood, completely devoid of his former look, and the eloquent Amis seemed to curl up in the depths of his soul, leaving only a numb shell. At this moment, the comfort that comes to the lips of the white night words can't be said, why should I be so hypocritical anymore, say something sanctimonious and beautiful to make myself feel better, I can't change anything.

Amis looked at Bai Ye with his empty eyes: "You see, I'm making a fuss here, and I've delayed your dinner, so I won't bother you." ”

"Where are you going?"

"I want to go out and about, and I'm breathless here. Amis said with some hesitation.

White Night had a bad feeling that if he let Amis walk out here, he might never see this friend of his again. At least this is something I can do.

"I'll go with you," Bai Ye said in an unquestionable tone, "Listen to you, there's a place with a particularly good air outside, I don't want to miss this good opportunity to wake myself up, I just slept for too long, my head almost felt like it was soaked in a wine barrel, and I was dizzy." ”

"You don't have to come along, Bai Ye, I'm fine alone. ”

"I like to do things that aren't flattering, but I'm still a guest here, so you have to be polite. ”

Bai Ye pretended to be relaxed, he took out a nightgown from the closet and put it on his body, and threw a cotton coat to Amis: "It's windy at night, since we'd better wear more clothes when we go out for a walk, otherwise we'll catch a cold when we come back." ”

On the word "come back", Bai Ye deliberately accentuated his tone.

Amis showed a pale smile: "There is no need to add extra clothes in that place we are going. ”

They walked through the courtyard one after the other, Amis deliberately did not parallel with the white night, nor did he speak, and there was a strange silence between the two, but it may not be a good thing, at this time the white night is also preoccupied, he really wants to put all his thoughts on Amis, but a thought can't help but come to his mind, Bliss is also here, will I meet her, is she still angry with me?

For some reason, although this woman still made him resentful and hateful, he couldn't control himself from thinking about Bliss, the feeling of relief before going to bed was gradually receding, the anger that supported him turned into a kind of sorrow, how he wished that Bliss could understand that everything he had done for her had exhausted all that a beggar boy had, what was making money for the children in the mouse hole, this seemingly straightforward reason, although it was also one of Bai Ye's demands, but it was not to the point where he disregarded life and death, he was not such a selfless person, he did not have so much compassion and a sense of justice。

If not, why do I think all about bliss at the moment, and not about the desperate child in front of me?

Before they knew it, they had stepped out of their lodgings and climbed up a steeper hill, and by this time they were already on a weedy hillside, and when they looked up, they could see the whole of the Sanctuary, and even the whole of the Crow's Castle, and in the huge and gloomy gray shadow of the city, dotted with countless orange lights, like the reflection of the night starry sky on earth, only changed to another color.

"I've never been to a place so high. Bai Ye said breathlessly.

"This is the highest point in Grey Raven Castle, and just a corner up is Sentinel Bluff, which will surprise you. ”

The amount of exercise brought with it all the way up the mountain seemed to make Amis forget the sadness he had just had, and he spoke in a calm tone at this time.

Turning the last corner of the mountain road, an open cliff appeared before Bai Ye's eyes, which really surprised him, not because of the dead trees everywhere, the charred earth, but a huge statue in the center of the cliff, its carving style is very rough, you can vaguely see that it is a figure with a head and arms, but the torso is a cluster of intertwined and rising aggregates, like ...... A huge flame that solidified.

"These gentlemen are so leisurely and elegant, they actually came here to make a statue. ”

"It's not a statue," Amis immediately retorted, before he hesitated, "I mean, at least I don't think so." ”

He walked up to the sculpture, gently stroked its hard and rough stone skin, and asked White Night in a wistful tone, "Have you heard of the legend of Agamennon, the king of lava?"

"What's that?" "What is that?" Bai Ye also walked over, and from a closer look, the statue showed a strange charm, although it did not have the same vivid knife work as the statues in the sanctuary, but the tall statue still showed a fierce feeling, the waving arms, the high head, like a great warrior shouting for challenges, there was a simple and ferocious aura in it, which made people feel awe-inspired.

"A lot of people don't know about the Lava King anymore, and even if they know it's a bedside story to lie to a child, it's a real thing. In the catastrophe that almost destroyed our world, which is what later generations called the 'Dawn of Annihilation' event, the Heavenly Demon Yurga rode his invincible mount, the Black Dragon King Aton, and took the lead in marching towards the Pillar of Eternity. However, when Yurga arrived at the Raven Keep, an unknown wizard summoned the lava king of the flame realm, Agamemlon, the most irascible of all the elemental kings, but also the most righteous one, it roared and provoked the heavenly demon Yurga, and the crimson flames it threw against the black flames of the black dragon king Astor, the two were not up or down, and for a time there was a rain of black and red flames in the sky, accompanied by a huge roar, the heavens and the earth trembled, and at this time, people could only hide under the table and tremble. ”

In normal times, White Night would have scoffed at this exaggerated story, and Amis was no different from himself who had been obsessed with the story of the Nightmare of Frost as a child, but at the moment he was too bad to point it out, so he had to ask patiently, "So, in the end, the Lava King repelled the demon, and in recognition of his exploits, a statue was erected on this cliff to commemorate it?" ”

"No," Amis said slowly with an indescribable sadness, "even if Agamenon is strong, it can't stop the Heavenly Demon Yurga's footsteps, and it took advantage of the fierce battle between the Black Dragon King and Agamemon to suddenly attack and shatter the heart of the Lava King. Now with us is not a statue commemorating the victory, but a corpse, proof of the defeat of Agamenlon. ”
