Chapter 25: The Sword God's Secret Room
"The profundity of this illusion magic is that it is indistinguishable from a devouring flame in all respects, except that it does not burn the body and endanger life..."
Morton said calmly.
"So crossing it is theoretically an easy thing to do, but it's a major test of courage."
"You see, even the surrounding stone walls remain normal."
Morton let go of Ai Xingyan's arm.
"Come forward bravely, and the moment you overcome it, the trial will be over."
He stroked the prince's young cheek, and there was a hint of comfort in his words.
Ai Xingyan nodded, and then took a deep breath.
"For the sake of my deceased relatives, as well as Master Morton's expectations, and for my own future, this time, I am out of the way."
He clenched his fists and leaped into the flames with unstoppable momentum.
But in the scorching heat and extremely real illusions, he could hardly restrain his instincts.
Half a second later, his knees unconsciously touched the ground, his body trembled, and even his blue eyes closed uncontrollably.
But his heart kept reminding him.
"These flames are all fake, and I can't let you down... I must pass the trials and gain my own strength. ”
Under the impetus of this will, the muscles of his whole body tensed and then relaxed again, and his thin body began to try to overcome his fear, and finally, he stood up again.
Immediately, with great difficulty, he began to walk in the flames.
The fiery tongue of fire licked his body, like a hurried light of hell, and in the intertwined flames, Ai Xingyan's steps became lighter and lighter, and he was determined to move towards the end of his fate.
When he was completely consumed by the flames, it was the moment when the miracle appeared.
Morton stared intently at everything in front of him, and secretly pinched a cold sweat for Ai Xingyan.
After a while, the flames of the illusion were finally extinguished, and the bright passage was restored to its original state.
At this time, Morton clearly saw that Ai Xingyan was kneeling on one knee like a knight, his right hand supporting his body, and the beads of sweat on his forehead were falling like raindrops.
Morton stepped forward and found that Ai Xingyan's body had become weak and weak, and it was obvious that he had reached his limit.
So, he hugged the prince's body tightly and did everything in his power to protect the king's child.
"It's okay... Starlight? He said in a deep voice.
The other party just nodded weakly.
"It is indeed worthy of the 'test of courage', and for the first time in my life, I did my best to reach the end of the journey."
The corners of Ai Xingyan's clothes were already soaked with sweat.
"Well, congratulations, you've made it." Morton stroked his face with delight.
"But an incredible place in the flames gave me new inspiration." Ai Xingyan said.
"There is no such thing as an invincible thing in this world." He continued.
"As I marched to the center of the flames, a huge red fire python appeared in front of me, its body as majestic as a dragon, and when he stopped me, the blazing flames swept through everything, including my heart."
"At the very least, at that moment, it was invincible."
"Instantly, it opened its jaws again, revealing its sharp fangs from the melting flames, and then a wave of fire surged in my direction."
"I closed my eyes and endured the roasting of the flames, it was really hot, and my body almost had a feeling that it was about to melt."
"I was so frightened that it became difficult to walk, but my heart told me that I must persevere and never be defeated by the illusion of nothingness."
"So, after a few seconds, I really got used to all of this."
"The anaconda looks terrifying, but after all, it's just a part of the illusion."
"The flames are empty, and I can't believe that I survived."
"As I walked forward, the massive magical creatures vanished in an instant, and I lost almost all of my strength in the heat."
"That's why, as you can see, Master, I was embarrassed just now."
Morton steadied his body and led the prince onwards.
A quarter of an hour later, a glimmer of light began to float at the end of the passage.
A huge stone gate suddenly appeared in front of him, dozens of meters high, but then Morton groped at the bottom of it.
"Behind this door, is the legendary Sword God Secret Room?"
He followed Morton's hands carefully, and found that the other party had an extra golden key in his hand at some point.
In the next second, Ai Xingyan was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a small round hole at the edge of the stone gate.
Then, under his expectant gaze, Morton approached the stone door and gently inserted the key into the round hole.
With the rotation of Morton's fingers, there was a creaking sound at the keyhole, and a small crack opened in an instant in the entire huge stone door.
A pure light shone in, making people's minds hazy, like believers who are about to arrive in heaven.
The world behind the door is so desirable, and the gap in the stone door is still expanding, just a trivial turn, it actually opens the door of the sword god's secret room in four or two, which is simply amazing.
What an amazing piece of mechanical technology... The complex chain has actually quietly unfolded inside the stone gate.
"Nothing strange, kid." Morton smiled slightly: "Because the only person in the world who can open this door is me, as the one who holds the key." ”
Immediately, he came to the bright entrance and stood side by side with Ai Xingyan.
Behind the stone gate, there really is a new world.
Ai Xingyan looked fixedly, and all the magic of the world was reflected in the azure pupils.
The grassy fields stretch like silk to the end of the earth, the breeze blows leisurely through the flowers, and the rare birds and animals live together in a leisurely and gentle manner.
Overhead, the blue sky, which was so beautiful that it looked like a clear jewel, was like a soft cloud like cotton, and if you looked closely, it seemed that there were lovely spirits dancing in the middle of it.
"Come in, the new master of the sword body secret room, and embrace this world that belongs to you!" Incredibly, Morton actually bowed slightly, as if to express his respect to Ai Xingyan.
And the child, who had been so apprehensive before, was now attracted by the beauty before him, and he cheered, opened his arms, and ran towards the field of freedom and hope.
