When Roger heard it, Baizhi was really not a fuel-efficient lamp, and this method was not the first time it had been used.

"What should I do, do Baizhi do?"

"No, it can't be like that."

"Once there is a head-on conflict with Baizhi, it is equivalent to telling Baizhi that the clues in his hand are true!"

"We must now quietly investigate where the Hundred Wise have been."

"Also, keep an eye out for clues about the flames and the blind witch."

"Blind shrine maiden?"

"I once came across one, the Church of Elis, right next to Lake Lieria."

"Let's go, we'll go now."

Ash was a little impatient, and it was the first time Roger had seen Ash like this.

The two grabbed their gear and teleported directly to Stoneville City, then through the cliff path to the east of the city, to Lake Lieria and head straight to Elis Church.

Entering the church of Elis, there is no blind witch inside, which makes Roger a little dumbfounded.

Fortunately, sitting on the side, a middle-aged man who was also dressed as a magician.

Ash stepped forward and asked, "Hello, have you ever seen a blind witch here?" ”

"Blind shrine maiden?"

"It was still yesterday, and now it's time to go fruit picking."

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he also began to look at Ash and Roger, and his eyes lit up when he saw Roger.

Roger was also very curious about this down-and-out mage, and the two began to talk, and Ash sat aside and waited.

The man's name was Tops, and because his magical talent was so poor, he was kicked out of the magic academy, and because of the shattering war, the magic academy was closed and no one could enter.

Tops is waiting here to see if there is a chance to obtain the pyroxene key of the Academy of Magic.

Before Roger could finish chatting with Tops, a girl blindfolded with a cloth bag walked slowly in the distance.

Ash hurried forward, and Roger also walked over, and before Ash could speak, he asked.

"This lady, do you blind witches have a party?"

Ash glanced at him, and what kind of mess he said, he directly pushed Roger aside.

"I'm sorry, my companion is so rude, I want to ask, have you ever heard of a blind witch about flames?"

"This is important to me, please."

The blind shrine maiden in front of her pondered for a moment, and then said, "You are not the first person to come to me to inquire about this, a group of people have asked before, and I did meet a blindfolded shrine maiden who muttered that she wanted to find flames. ”

Hearing this, Ash was very excited and hurriedly continued to ask.

"Where did you meet her, is she still there?"

"It was near the royal city before, it's been a long time, I don't know if she's still there."

Wangcheng? Fire Girl, why do you want to go to the royal city? Ash couldn't figure it out.

Anyway, at least there are clues now.

After receiving the news of the Fire Girl, Ash prepared to leave for the royal city immediately, but was stopped by Roger.

"The road to the royal city is not easy to walk, and if you want to get there, you have to go through the Great Elevator of Didas, and the key to the Great Elevator has been lost for many years."

"In the difficulty, I have to go, even if I climb, I have to climb up!"

Roger looked at the ashes and made up his mind, and it was not easy to say much.

According to the map, in order to reach the Great Lift of Didas, you must pass through the Academy of Magic and then follow the bridge all the way up.

But Tops has already said that the magic academy has been closed, and if you want to enter, you can only get the pyroxene key.

Before it was dark, Ash and Roger quickly arrived at the gate of the Academy of Magic, and sure enough, as Tops said, the entire gate was covered by a magical barrier and impassable. Ash did not give up, and released a storm of fire at the magic enchantment at the gate of the academy, but it was swallowed by the enchantment and did not work.

It seems that the only way to find the pyroxene key is to go in a proper manner.

But if there are no clues, wouldn't it be like a headless fly? The ashes, who were anxious, were suddenly attracted by the dried corpses in the grass in front of the gate. It seems that something comes to mind, and comes forward to check. Then he pulled out a yellowed map from the corpse, which seemed to record a location, and a name was written in a distorted way, Seren.

Roger also noticed the map, and when he saw the name Seren, he was in ecstasy.

Confused by the ashes, could the name have something to do with the key to the Magic Academy?

Through Roger's narration, this is really the case.

"Serian used to be a very famous tutor in the Academy of Magic, but unfortunately she studied forbidden magic and was expelled from the academy."

"And then it disappeared and disappeared."

"It is said that Serian once had a pyroxene key, and he didn't know if it was true or not."

"Anyway, now that I have a map, I want to pay a visit, even if I don't have a map, Serian is very familiar with the Academy of Magic, and I will always gain something."

The two of them carefully checked the map and found that Seren's location was just south of Stonewell City, in a dilapidated inn.

Without further ado, put away the map, and Roger directly opened the teleportation.

It was already late at night when he arrived at Stonewell City, and Roger told him that there would be night cavalry along the main road to the south, so it was better to wait until daytime before hurrying. This time Ash was not in a hurry, and Ash also understood that it was useless to be in a hurry. Not to mention whether the big elevator has a key or not, even the magic academy is not so easy to break into.

Roger fiddled with the fire boredly, glancing at the ashes from time to time.

Ash was also annoyed by his frequent gaze, so he spoke, "Ask whatever you want." ”

"Is that blind witch your lover?"

"Well, we've come a long way together, and when we reach the finish line, no matter what choice I make, she'll be there for me."

"I thought that there would be no chance of seeing each other again, but I didn't expect her to come here too, and I will definitely take it."

Listening to Ash's words, Roger was a little sad, what a good thing it was to have someone he liked.

If that person still supports you without hesitation, it is rare in the world.

Ending the conversation, Ash lay on the grass, looking at the silver moon in the sky, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Da... Da...", the sound of horses' hooves came from a distance, driving the surrounding fog, slightly mysterious.

"It's her."

"Who?"

"It's the person I told you before that I want to guide me."

The woman she had met dismounted from her horse, walked up to the ashes, and sat down on her knees.

"Fading, what are you thinking?"

"I have a goal now, but the goal is not the Elden King."

"It's okay, I'm not really a finger witch, and it's just a deal between you and me, I'll give you guidance, and you take me to the root of the golden tree."

"Do you have a way to get to the royal city?"

"Naturally, this is called guidance, how about it?"

"Do you want to make any contracts?"

"No, just take me."

"Okay, I agreed."

Ash nodded, indicating that he accepted the deal.

"You can call me Melina, here's a ring for you to summon a spirit horse, the one beside me."

"Didn't you come with me, is it necessary to ride a horse, and now it's three people, and I can't sit down..."

"Fading one, I will not be there all the time, only according to the guidance of the blessing, I will go with me, and if I deviate from the blessing, then I will wait for you at the blessing point."

"That is to say, if I follow the guidance, you will be there, and if you run in the middle to do private business, you will not follow, will you."

"That's understandable, but the spirit horse will always be by your side."

Ash secretly thought, the loss of a tool man, there should have been one more person, one more strength, but as a result, people did not give the opportunity to exploit at all.

"Then I'm going to the royal city now, and you can guide me."

Ash to see if you can flicker around first, find the fireproof woman, and withdraw.

"There are actually two ways to get to Wangcheng, the first is to go through the big elevator and take the main gate."

"Second, walk through the ancient mines, cross the poison pool, climb the cliffs of the ancient ruins, defeat the man-eating bats and earth dragons, and..."

"Stop, I'll take the first path."

As soon as Ash heard the route of the second way, his head was big.

After Ash finished chatting with Melina, Roger roasted a few more jerky, handed them to the two, and then rested on the spot.

Melina finished eating and fell asleep leaning on the spirit horse.

The ashes couldn't sleep at night, and he saw the shadow of the fireproof girl in Melina's body.

When the two first met, it was similar, except that the fireproof girl was more gentle.

And this Melina knew at a glance that the value of force was not low, and the dagger on her waist was not ordinary, and she could feel the breath of holiness.

As the sky dawned, Ash stood up and moved his muscles, and Roger and Melina had already begun to set up the equipment on the spirit horse.

This completely frees your hands, and you don't need to carry them on your back all the time.

While the two were busy, Ash used the residual temperature of the bonfire to simmer a pot of porridge, and everyone started to go on the road after eating.

Along the avenue to the south, you can see some homeless people entrenched here, seeing that the ashes and his party are well-equipped, they do not dare to step forward, they can only watch from a distance.

"It's all the calamities caused by the broken war, and it pities these people at the bottom."

No matter how many times Melina saw this scene, she still felt sad.

The ashes feel indifferent, even if the outcasts are still people, in the former world, they are either living corpses or ashes, and after a long time, the ashes will lose their humanity, and eventually they will become living corpses.

Therefore, the ashes did not burn themselves, but extinguished the first fire, and the long pain is better than the short pain, rather than living hopelessly and repeating the false light, it is better to bravely enter the new era.

Soon, the three of them came to the dilapidated inn, and Ash knocked on the door, and it was opened by a warrior in a pumpkin-shaped helmet. After explaining the intention, everyone rushed in.

There was only one mage in the room wearing a stone mask, and Ash was the first to speak, "Excuse me, are you the Serian Mentor?" ”

"Mentor?"

"Ah, what an old title."

"That's right, I'm Seren."

Ash glanced back at Roger, and it seemed that he had found the right person.

Roger stepped forward and tied with the ashes.

"Dear Mentor Seren, I had the privilege of hearing your legend when I was studying at the Academy of Magic."

"You're my idol!"

"Idols? Shouldn't it be taboo, heretical, mad?"
