Chapter 935: Visiting the Flame Lord God
The guard captain said with a smile: "Sure, sure, of course! However, His Majesty is currently in court discussion, so you may need to wait a while. Warrior, if you're not in a hurry, you can first sit inside."
Speaking, he wanted to invite Xiao Feng to sit for a while in their guard unit's tea room.
Upon hearing about the court discussion, Xiao Feng couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Constant court discussions really are the 'traditional virtue' of the Shen Jie—don't they get tired of it?"
He remained calm on the surface, merely taking out an object to show the guard captain a glance and saying: "This is the command talisman of His Majesty the Flame Lord God; I wonder if I could see him soon?"
What he took out was the 【Fire God Devil Talisman】, given to him by La Luo Na Er. It is said to be a protective amulet bestowed by the Flame Lord God upon the emissaries of the Lower Realm Temple, capable of unleashing the god's full-power strike, with considerable killing power.
"Ah, this is... an emissary's token!" The guard captain, also a connoisseur, immediately sensed that the aura on the Fire God Devil Talisman was exactly that of the Flame Lord God himself.
He then hurriedly said: "Warrior, please wait a moment; I will go report to His Majesty right away!"
Then he quickly ran inside.
Not long after, he came out again, saying: "Xiao Feng Warrior, His Majesty summons you!"
"Hmm, thank you!"
Xiao Feng felt satisfied, clasped his fists in greeting, and hurried into the palace.
Under the guidance of two minor guards, he arrived at the great hall.
The hall was filled with people, as if the Storm Lord God and War Lord God were holding a meeting; in the Flame God Kingdom's council hall, civil and military officials stood in neat rows, discussing major affairs of the kingdom with their Lord God Majesty.
The Flame Lord God sat upon the royal throne, his whole person appearing quite imposing.
He looked to be in his fifties, in the prime of life, with a sturdy build, his hair crimson red and standing up like a flame; he wore a spacious crimson magic robe, his left hand toying with two red glazed balls that spun continuously.
【Lord God·Lord of Flame—Ba Yan (Enlightenment)】
Level: 730 (Mid-level Lord God)
Life Value: Cannot be seen through
Follower Scale: Known throughout the world (over 1 billion people)
Note: Monarch of the Flame God Kingdom, possessing the Flame Heart, when located on the Flame God Kingdom Continent, possesses an indestructible immortal body!
The information introductions for the kingdom lords are all "standard"; aside from level and name being different, everything else is roughly the same.
"Is he the adventurer Xiao Feng?"
"Hiss! What a strong aura, actually not at all inferior to His Majesty!"
"Although he is a lesser god, he possesses an aura comparable to a mid-level Lord God; this adventurer is no ordinary one! Indeed, he is the one who helped the Flying Bird Lord God and War Lord God eliminate calamities!"
As Xiao Feng just stepped into the hall, the ministers all turned to look, whispering among themselves.
From these words, their evaluation of him is very high.
"Xiao Feng greets His Majesty the Flame Lord God." Having come with a request, Xiao Feng's attitude was quite courteous; he performed a salute with clasped hands.
Clad in a Daoist robe, he performed the salute with Eastern etiquette; his posture was humble yet not servile, elegant, composed, and confident, thereby further earning approval.
"Xiao Feng Warrior, I have long heard your name mentioned by the emissaries of the Lower Realm, and the Shen Jie also spreads many tales of your deeds. Now that we finally meet, you are indeed outstanding—you have not disappointed me!" The Flame Lord God's voice was deep and resonant, as imposing as his name.
Xiao Feng returned the courtesy, then said: "Lord God Majesty, I came to see you this time actually to ask for your help in repairing a damaged Supreme Treasure. I wonder if you could lend a hand?"
"Oh? A damaged Supreme Treasure? I wonder what grade it is?" Flame Lord God Ba Yan showed an interested expression.
Xiao Feng directly took out the Immortal Gold Soft Armor in front of everyone and replied: "It's fourth-grade quality, obtained by chance. Knowing its repair requires True Yang Mystic Fire and Immortal Gold Silkworm Silk, I recently made a special trip to the Myriad Heavens Battlefield to gather both."
In his left hand was the damaged Supreme Treasure, in his right hand the rare materials—both are priceless treasures seldom seen.
Seeing this, the civil and military ministers' eyes lit up instantly, drawn by the aura of the treasures.
Even the Flame Lord God showed a look of surprise: "It's actually fourth-grade! No wonder you could defeat the Frenzied Destruction Barbarian God and the Golden Holy Dragon King, and even help the Flying Bird Lord God resolve a major trouble. It seems your strength is indeed far greater than what appears on the surface!"
With his mid-level Lord God strength, it is natural to see that Xiao Feng's realm aura is virtual; in reality, he is merely a lesser god.
Yet a lesser god being able to accomplish so much, and even possessing the ability to find such treasures as True Yang Mystic Fire and Immortal Gold Silkworm Silk to repair the Supreme Treasure, clearly shows his power is terrifying!
A terrifyingly talented adventurer is far more not to be offended than a mighty Lord God!
The Flame Lord God fully understands this principle; at that moment he harbored the thought of making friends.
He nodded and said: "Leave this to me; repairing a Supreme Treasure is much simpler than crafting one, I can fix it for you right now."
"Then I will trouble Your Majesty, Lord God!" Xiao Feng rejoiced, quickly handing the three items to the attendant beside him, asking her to deliver them to the Flame Lord God's hands.
The Flame Lord God received the treasure, gave it a brief inspection, and nodded: "It's a fine Supreme Treasure! Many Lord Gods have never possessed such a treasure; even I feel a bit envious of you!"
Afterward, he set down the two glazed balls in his left hand, loosely grasped with his palm, and a cluster of deep-red flame ignited out of thin air, melting the sphere containing the True Yang Mystic Fire to extract the rare flame within.
Then, holding the True Yang Mystic Fire in his hand, he began to scorch the seemingly fragile but actually uncuttable Immortal Gold Silkworm Silk, softening it.
While repairing the Supreme Treasure, the Flame Lord God chatted casually with Xiao Feng.
"Xiao Feng Warrior, you seem to have a close relationship with my former emissary, La Luo Na Er, since he even gave you my command talisman."
"Yes, he is my master; he gave me the grace of enlightenment and instruction. Without his old man's guidance, I could not have grown so quickly to this point."
"Hahaha, now I see; it seems we indeed have some affinity! Speaking of which, La Luo Na Er can be considered half my disciple—his flame magic basics were mostly transmitted to me via Divine Sense, and the act of guarding the Earth Core Lake was also at my behest."
"No wonder my master holds the Lord God in such high regard. With this connection, should the Flame God Kingdom ever need anything in the future, feel free to find me; I am willing to contribute my modest effort!"
The relationship between the Flame Lord God and La Luo Na Er is quite good; although one is a Lord God and the other a believer, they have not become a master-servant relationship like other temples.
Under the Shen Jie, there are 72 small worlds, and thus there are 72 Flame God Temples.
With so many emissaries, generation after generation replacing each other, the Flame Lord God being able to directly utter La Luo Na Er's name also shows that he indeed once gave him earnest instruction!
La Luo Na Er now has the potential to obtain the "Ancestral Secret Art"; if he were to ascend in the future, he would surely gain a respectable position in the Flame God Kingdom as well!
