In the dim cavern, clusters of bonfires burned to illuminate the group of people who were surrounded by withered corpses.

Beneath their unkempt and dirty hair, their hollow eyes reflected the light of fire, but they didn't even have the slightest look, like a group of walking corpses.

The entire cave has been hollowed out, and the walls are carved with reliefs of dragons and giants fighting demons.

There are tombstones everywhere.

Inelle awoke from the darkness and looked around quietly, and the woman who had brought her back stood in front of the campfire in front of her, silent as a stone sculpture.

"Welcome to the Fire Transmission Shrine. ”

The woman's voice suddenly sounded in Inelli's ears, and although Inelli didn't make a sound, her awakening did not hide from the woman.

"Who are you?"

Ineri asked.

"I am the Flame Keeper. ”

Inelli was sure that it was still an unfamiliar language, but she could already understand the meaning.

She hesitated and asked, "Don't you have a name?"

"It doesn't matter. ”

The woman handed Innelli a water bag, and she drank it greedily, she had never thought that water could taste so good.

Innelly looked at the withered ghost-like faces in the darkness again, and couldn't help asking, "Are they alive?"

The woman asked rhetorically, "What will a living person look like this?"

Innelli was a little wary and said, "What about us?"

"Don't worry, they're not enemies. They're just a bunch of cursed people, poor creatures who can't die, and it's good to think of them as statues. ”

"Who cursed him...... They, demons?"

"No, it's the world. ”

The corners of the woman's mouth under the silver blindfold turned slightly, and her voice sounded again: "To be exact, this dying world!"

Innelly frowned and asked, "This is the abyss?"

"No, this is just a devastated place after being plundered by demons, the resources here have been drained by demons, and the origin of the world has been exhausted, how can it be regarded as an abyss?"

Innelli was a little puzzled, "I don't quite understand. ”

"A world that is about to be destroyed, no lord is willing to take over, and naturally it is not an abyss. ”

"This place is going to be destroyed?"

"Well, I detected in your mind that you wanted to get out of this red desert, but in reality, the rest of the place would not be better than here, east and west, north and south, all directions, the ice field shrouded in eternal night, and countless cursed and evil monsters roamed on it. In the center is the red desert where you are, and only here, there is also the sun shrouded. ”

"You saved me, what do you want me to do?"

"Spread the fire. ”

"What's that?"

"The sun is going out, and I need your help me to gather enough 'firewood' to put into the furnace. ”

"Ha, the sun is so bright, you actually said it was going out?"

The woman whispered, "It is precisely because it is about to be destroyed that it is so bright—you are an outsider, and you will not understand." ”

"I'm willing to promise you, after all, you saved my life, and I should repay you, but my strength is mediocre, and what I can do is limited. ”

"It's okay, if you want. ”

The woman showed a hint of a smile: "Until you become strong enough, I won't let you face those powerful salary kings." ”

Inniri asked, "What should I do? Can you help me get stronger?"

The woman nodded, "That's right, I can teach you the secrets of using souls, and when you learn it, you can start dealing with the embers of the first kind." ”

"Ember?"

-->>

"It's the burned 'firewood'. ”

"Do you mean to burn them again?"

Innelli simply can't understand the mechanism that sustains the existence of this world, how strong will it be to support the burning firewood of the sun?

At least it has to be a high sequence, right?

And what about the so-called salary king?

...

The Secret Realm of Avalon.

In the early morning, the sun is rising, and a thick fog fills the secret place.

It was an extraordinary thick fog, an illusion that surrounded me was fog, and the fog followed you.

Visibility was frighteningly low, but fortunately, it didn't have any effect on Leon.

The spiritual power amplified by the Winter Lord's Helm of Domination allowed him to do many things that he couldn't do before, including special abilities such as voice transmission and mental power scanning.

Leon stood up and made a gesture of clenching his palms, and the dense fog instantly solidified into snowflakes, slowly falling in the breeze.

This is still Cecilia's manor, the broken tiles have been repaired by Leon, and the remaining wooden stakes of the felled woodland have been cleared.

He patted the frosty water vapor on his body, and raised his head to seriously examine the results of his night's hard work.

It is a merry-go-round, consisting of unicorns, nightmare horses, skeleton horses, small spiny dragons, and other mounts.

The ability to activate the puppet made Leon an absolutely excellent carpenter, and it took him a full five hours to make such an exquisite merry-go-round.

Although this may not work, Li Ang feels that this is also a heartfelt thank you gift.

Cecilia pushed open the door of the manor and came to his side, frowning, "This is the gift you gave me?"

"You don't like it?"

Li Ang said with some embarrassment.

Cecilia said noncommittally: "I don't have the concept of liking it or not, I just think that this pile of things doesn't seem to be of much use." ”

"Give it a try. ”

Cecilia looked at the expectant look in Leon's eyes and couldn't help but say, "Okay." ”

Under Leon's guidance, she chose a white unicorn and sat down, and then, with the melodious sound of wind chimes, the merry-go-round was in motion.

When the Trojan horse falls together, when it is high, it can see through the courtyard wall and see the city outside, and when it is low, it is at eye level with Li Ang.

Very boring experience.

Cecilia said in her heart.

She wanted to fly away, but the moment the Trojan fell, she saw the expectant look in Leon's eyes again, and he really wanted to help her.

For some reason, Cecilia didn't get up, and just sat behind the unicorn, undulating with the wooden horse, like another puppet.

Li Ang's expression gradually froze, he was not stupid, where could he not see this little girl's heart, in fact, it was useless at all.

But he really didn't know what else he could do.

The Trojan gradually stopped.

Cecilia asked, "Why did you stop?"

Li Ang was a little embarrassed and said, "I don't think you like it very much." ”

Imagine yourself going to give a gift, only to have the other party receive it and take a look at it without being salty or indifferent - this is how Leon feels now.

It's a little embarrassing, but it's just a little bit of that.

He knew that it wasn't Cecilia who was rude, but that she couldn't give the emotional feedback she deserved, and that she had a heart of stone.

She shook her head: "Go on." ”

"What?"

I said continue. ”

Cecilia looked at Leon and said seriously, "I like it very much. ”
