Step out of the castle and through the gardens to a secluded wood.

The trees in the woods were not dense, and the two came to the middle of the woods, where a large clearing was vacant, and there were large and small tombstones in the clearing, which was the burial place of the Grand Duke of Gehwo's family.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, a lonely moon hung high in the night sky, the pale moon shadow was cold, the cemetery was dark and gloomy, the woods came from the chirping of night owls, a gust of wind blew, and a little phosphorus fire floated between the tombstones, which looked eerie.

Gilbert pressed the myriad questions in his mind and followed his father closely, and neither of them said a word.

Coming to a tall tomb in the center of the cemetery, Grand Duke Gehwo's finger stretched out, a drop of blood appeared on his fingertips, and the Grand Duke poked and poked on the tombstone, and the tombstone slid away silently, revealing a staircase leading to the inside.

After the two of them entered, the passage lit up, and the magic torch lit silently, illuminating the dark passage.

Grand Duke Gehwo remained silent, and walked forward.

Soon the two of them came to the burial chamber, in the center of which was a huge coffin, surrounded by ancient murals painted on the walls.

The Grand Duke pressed the four corners of the coffin, and the lid of the coffin opened, revealing a dried corpse.

Grand Duke Gehwo cut his finger again, dripping blood into the corpse's eyebrows, and the corpse turned over, and the coffin board at the bottom was also flipped open, revealing the steps below.

Gilbert jumped in with his father, the coffin board on his head closed, the torch in the tomb was extinguished, the darkness was again enveloped, and the tomb was restored to its original state, as if it had never been disturbed.

The temperature suddenly rises here, and the red light that comes out of nowhere illuminates the surroundings red.

Gilbert looked out to see that it was in an extremely empty underground cavern, and one had to look up to the limit to see the roof of the cave, and huge lava pillars jutted out of the ground and into the sky.

The vision was dark red, as if the air had been burned, and every breath felt like inhaling a scorching flame.

Gehwo recited a spell, and a circular aura immediately appeared under his feet, and the Grand Duke beckoned Gilbert to stand in the aura, and Gilbert immediately felt comfortable and cool, and the aura flashed brightly and darkly, protecting the two people in the aura and walking forward.

After walking for a while, a huge lava flow appeared in front of the two, and Grand Duke Gehwo came to the magma and began to chant a spell, and with the sound of the incantation, the magma in front of him began to boil, and the magma bubbled and bubbled, and the scorching air rose from the cracked bubble, staining the air red.

After a while, after the incantation was recited, the boiling magma parted to both sides, and an ancient magic circle rose from the middle of the separated magma, Gilbert walked into the magic circle with his father, the light lit up, and the figures of the two people in the magic circle blurred and disappeared into the magic circle!

Gilbert took a moment to find that the two of them had come to a huge underground palace, the palace looked very ancient, but it was dilapidated, and the grandeur of this palace could still be vaguely seen from these broken walls, Gilbert couldn't help but let out an exclamation, such a dilapidated palace was still more magnificent than any palace he had seen before!

As he walked, Grand Duke Gehwo said, "Gilbert, this is part of the temple of Sakseron, the god of fire. In ancient times, our western realm was originally the territory of the fire god Sakseron, and there was only one country, the Extreme Flame Empire. The great fire god Sakseron is the only god we believe in! ”

Grand Duke Gehewo's voice was low: "Later, the God of Light led the gods of the heavens to defeat the God of Fire, and since then, the Holy Sect of Light has ruled the world. The Extreme Flame Empire was also divided into six countries, and now has to rely on the three major empires. And the legend of the fire god Saktheron was also drowned out by the rumors of the Holy Sect of Light, leaving only a few words, and did not return to its appearance. ”

Entering the hall, the hall is even more dilapidated, the frescoes on the broken walls have long been invisible, only the mottled colors remain, the floor of the hall is full of dust, Gilbert walks on it as if walking on the beach, leaving clear footprints,

Grand Duke Gehwo said: "These dusts were huge and beautiful statues of the past, and the statues were inlaid with gold and precious stones!" But all this has turned to dust. Alas~~! ”

Grand Duke Gehwo sighed and continued, "Each of these six kingdoms is ruled by six servants of Sakseron. However, after the Fire God was sealed by the Light Holy Sect, these six countries lost the protection of the Fire God and were annexed by the three major empires today, and these six servants also became vassals of the three empires. ”

Later, six servants were born and died for the three empires, establishing their own principalities. But the entire western territory has been divided by many forces in the long-term war, and it has become what it is now. The ancestor of our Principality of Green Water was one of the six servants of the God of Fire back then! ”

The two of them walked to the end of the main hall, and at the end of it was still a magnificent throne, which was also dilapidated and dilapidated, and there was a statue of the god on the throne, and this statue only had two stump legs, and the rest of the statue was gone.

Grand Duke Gehwo looked at the broken statue, but his eyes showed respect and piety!

"Gilbert, this is the master of flames and lava, the great Lord of the West, the god of fire, Sacheron!" "He is our master and our king, and our ancestors are his servants." Our ancestors swore to follow the Master for eternity! ”

Archduke Gehwo said this, "Gilbert, our ancestors were one of the six servants who followed Sacheron, and we have never forgotten the oath we made!" We're going to recreate the times when the fire god Sacheron ruled the West! ”

"Saktheron's brain, heart, torso and limbs were sealed away by the God of Light in several secret places, but the great God of Fire still left his eyes, and his eyes were also capable of spewing blazing flames."

"His eyes were taken to the mortal world by six servants, and each of them took turns to be in charge."

"The left eye of the god of fire is in the hands of the Duke of Paskeland of the Principality of Red Rock, the Duke of Paloch of the Principality of White Sands, and Lidovis of the Principality of Black Gravel, and the right eye is in the hands of Duke Pheniore of the Principality of Aquamarine and us, and there was originally a Junifana of the Principality of the Red Plains, but unfortunately they later split into smaller territories and lost their qualifications to be in charge."

Gilbert listened quietly to his father's remarks, and Grand Duke Gehwo continued: "The Eye of the Fire God is ruled by six servants in rotation every hundred years, and now it is our turn. The Fire God left a prophecy that as long as someone takes his eyes and goes to the Elemental Plateau to find the Flame Throne, he can obtain his inheritance and become the Lord of the West! ”

"But father..." Gilbert's words weren't finished. was interrupted by the Grand Duke,

"Listen to me. The left eye of the fire god should have been in the hands of Grand Duke Paloc by now. However, a long time has caused him to turn his back on our ancestors, and he has forgotten the vows made by the six of our ancestors. ”

"Not only is he stupid but also greedy, he thinks that the left eye of the fire god has lost its divine power after such a long time, and it has no effect."

"So I bought off a few of his favorites, and used half of the jade ridge in exchange for the left eye, and now, the eyes of the fire god are in my hands!"

Grand Duke Gehwo also let out a long sigh of relief when he said this, and it can be seen that the difficulties during this period were far from being as easy as the Grand Duke said now.

Gilbert asked, "Father, do you want me to go and find the inheritance of the Fire God?" What do you want me to do? ”

Archduke Gehwo looked at Gilbert's face and said, "Son, getting two eyes is only the first step. The Elemental Plateau, where the Throne of the Fire God is located, is the birthplace of the four elements, and it is chaotic and disorderly, and it is said that no mortal can enter, and no one even knows the exact location. However, in the records left by the ancestors, the approximate path to the Elemental Plateau is indicated. ”

Gilbert stared at his father's eyes tightly, not even daring to breathe loudly,

"The ancestors said in their records that the first thing to do is to pass through the scorching desert, which I already know, is the Wyvern Desert in the west."

"And then through the Land of Lost and Redemption, which should be the canyon of true lies in the Mirror Forest."

"At the end of the record, the source of the world, the Melting Void Land, this should be the Elemental Plateau. I speculate that there is a path to the Elemental Plateau in the Mirror Forest, but we don't know how to get there, so we can only rely on the guidance of the Fire God. ”

Grand Duke Gehewo sighed, "The ancestors have tried, searched for the Elemental Plateau, but all failed halfway. At the end of the record, the ancestors decided that we could not succeed without the protection of the god of fire! ”

"But boy, I don't think so. If he really couldn't make it, Sacheron wouldn't have left his eyes on us. ”

"The ancestors regarded the prophecy of the god of fire as a treasure, but I think this is more like a test, a test for future generations by the god of fire. So I haven't given up until today. Grand Duke Gehwo said this in one breath and stopped,

Gilbert asked, "Father, what should I do?" I'm just an archer in the transcendent realm, and I can't even pass through the Wyvern Desert. ”

"Child, the path to the Throne of the Fire God is full of hardships and dangers, and it is not just your cultivation that will be tested. You have a strong and resolute temperament since you were a child, and among the three of you brothers, I think you are the only one who can pass the test of Sacheron and obtain the inheritance of the Fire God! At this, Archduke Gehwo looked Gilbert in the eye.

"Wyvern Desert, I have hired a domain master to take you there, but my father can only help you here. Once you've crossed the Wyvern Desert, you'll have to rely on yourself to go the rest of the way. ”

When Archduke Gehwo said this, his gaze pierced Gilbert's eyes deeply, as if it were about to pierce Gilbert's heart.

"Gilbert, if you fail to pass the test of the god of fire, then you will be nailed to the pillar of fire in the palace of the god of fire, and you will be smelted by the blazing flames forever. Child, we mortals cannot imagine such suffering, but we literally know what a pain it is! So, my child, are you willing to suffer such consequences? ”

"I do!"
