"This is?" When the wooden door opened, it took on an illusory realm, like a passage to another strange world. Bursts of red light flashed through the gray mist, and Joshua walked through the door with a determined step. What awaits him will be an unknown world, and he will continue to experience and grow in the midst of tribulations.

"Knight Geraint, I think we should go too!" Watching Joshua walk through the wooden door and begin his trials in the Temple of Flames, Frem beckoned everyone to leave.

"Mistress Frem, I'...... I want to stay here!" Gerante said suddenly, a look of loneliness on her face.

"What?Knight Geraint, what do you mean......" Frem was a little surprised by Geraint's decision, but he soon understood what Geraint really thought, "You are a real knight, worthy of the title of First Knight of the Golden Dragon Knights." Sometimes strength does not mean a qiē, and a person with chivalry is truly strong. ”

"Thank you for your understanding, Lord Frem. "I swore to watch over Joshua forever. Now that he has entered the temple alone, I must wait in this temple and be the first witness when he completes his experience and walks out of the temple. ”

"Haha, young man, do you really want to wait here?" said Arthur with a smile, "I have been alone for hundreds of years, and it is a wonderful thing for me to have someone here to accompany me. ”

"Lord Arthur, there's one thing I want to ask you. Frem asked, "If Knight Geraint stays here, will he be able to wait until the kid comes out, like the man who trains in the room?"

"There's nothing wrong with that. Arthur laughed, "The Temple of Flames is protected by the gods, and the people who come inside only need to absorb the nectar in the air to survive. Except for the eternal thing like longevity, you will not be harmed in any way in the realm of the gods. ”

"So you mean it's okay if we stay here without eating or drinking?" asked Barbara suddenly.

"Yes," said Arthur, winking at her, "but do you want to stay here with me like this knight, girl?"

"The goddess of light is above, and I don't want to stay here forever. If Joshua were to come back in decades, wouldn't I be an old woman?" Barbara shook her head vigorously.

"Alright, let's take our leave. Take care of Knight Geraint, too!" Frem nodded.

"Don't worry, old friend. With me, this knight will definitely live well. Arthur's eyebrows jumped, and a casual smile flashed across his face. And Frem and Geraint glanced at each other, and they both saw a look of relief in each other's eyes.

Frem leaves the Temple of Flames with Barbara to return to Flamechase City, and Arthur greets Geraint warmly. Geraint looked at the world behind the wooden door with a solemn face,

"Young man, your name is Geraint, isn't it?" asked Arthur with a smile.

"Yes, Lord Arthur!" replied Gellant politely.

"I just saw a look of worry in your eyes. Asser floated up to Geraint, "Are you worried that this kid won't be able to get through the Guò trial and out of this temple?"

"Joshua is a descendant of radiance, and I am sure he will be able to pass the test. It's just that...... It's just that I'm worried that he'll recall some painful memories from this experience. Because I remember Master Frem telling me on the road that the greatest test God has ever given us is that fear that is hidden in our hearts. Geraint's face was grim.

"Before this kid can reach the realm of the gods, he will first have to pass through the test of five levels, so why don't you listen to me explain some of the challenges he will face soon!" Asser glanced at Geraint.

"I'm curious to see what trials await Joshua in the temple!" Geraint nodded slightly.

"This kid should have reached the first floor of the temple by now. The first floor of the Temple of Flames is filled with all sorts of dangerous traps! Aser's voice rang in Geraint's ears, "Knight Geraint, I wonder if you have heard of a children's game that has been circulating in Gaia for hundreds of years?"

"Game?" Gerante wondered.

"It's a game that has been popular among kids for hundreds of years. "Each child has three weapons—a hammer, a sword, and a shield. The three of them are mutually restrained. The hammer can smash the sword, and the sword can pierce the shield, and finally the shield can block the hammer. The children take out one weapon at a time and compare them against each other to determine the winning side. ”

"But does that have anything to do with the trials in the Temple of Flames?" asked Geraint again.

"Oh, the first challenge Joshua will face is children's play. Arthur laughed, "The temple mechanism is made up of these children's weapons. Joshua's success in breaking through these mechanisms shows his ability to make quick decisions in times of crisis. ”

"Joshua, use what I've taught you to get through this!" Geraint's expression was solemn, looking towards the illusory space inside the wooden door.

"Hehe, hey, it's all the way here!" Joshua, who was walking on the first floor of the temple, noticed that the structure inside the temple was no different from what he had seen in the hall at the beginning, so he stretched and smiled.

Before he could finish speaking, Joshua suddenly felt a violent shaking suddenly come from the ground.

A rock in the shape of a hammer suddenly popped out of the ground, and the stone bricks on the surface quickly shattered.

In the face of a sudden attack, Joshua was quick to dodge the attack. The "hammer" flew out and reached its highest point and began to fall again, and it was smashing towards Joshua's head impartially. Joshua hurriedly jumped forward, and the "hammer" slammed into the ground, revealing a huge pit.

Before Joshua could get any respite, the stone bricks on both sides of the ground began to shake again, and two shield-shaped earth and stones wrapped in flames swirled at Joshua at high speed like a frisbee.

"Oh, what a strange thing this is!" Joshua jumped up suddenly, dodging the shield attacks in succession. The shield did not hit Joshua, but was struck in the stone wall of the first floor of the temple.

"There are so many mechanisms here, it looks like I'm going to have to be extra careful. Joshua thought to himself.

At this moment, Joshua suddenly noticed that the bricks on the walls on both sides of the temple suddenly began to tremble. One by one, they retracted inward, a flash of white light, and several pillars of stone in the shape of long swords shot out of the walls.

"Goddess of Light, save me!" Joshua was so frightened that he hurried to dodge the "swords".

"Hammers, shields, swords?" Joshua thought to himself, "how can these traps be shaped so much like the knightly games played by some kids in Flamechase City?"

The rain of swords flew in, and Joshua shouted, stimulating the fighting spirit in his body and erecting a barrier to block the attack of the "long sword". However, at this moment, the "hammer" that had fallen to the ground and the "shield" embedded in the wall began to shake again as if by magic.

"That's too bad, what should I do!" Joshua used a barrier made of fighting spirit to fend off the "long sword", and at the same time had to be on the lookout for attacks from the other two mechanisms.

"Haha, I almost forgot. Barbara gave me a tool before I came in that I could try it. Joshua pulled out the iron ore machine, "The second mechanism is a shield. ”

Suddenly, a golden shield made of steel opened out in front of Joshua. The "hammer" smashed heavily on the shield, and because of the residual magnetic force on the iron ore, it actually sucked the "hammer" firmly on the golden shield.

"It seems that this hammer also has iron ore in it!" Joshua smiled, quickly gathering some of his fighting energy into his right hand. Immediately afterward, he picked up the "iron hammer" with the palm of his hand and quickly smashed it into the "long sword" mechanism that was trying to pierce the barrier of fighting qi.
