Chapter 1872: The Fire of Return
"Nun, what is this..."
Xia De was very curious about where the wood came from, and then realized that this was a power similar to his miracle - Traveler's Camp, which could directly create scenes.
The bonfire was not bright, but looking at Sister Daifulin kneeling by the fire, Xia De felt an inexplicable sense of peace again.
"Are you not coming up with me?"
He asked, and the gray-haired nun wearing a silver eye mask nodded slightly, still not speaking. Although Xia De didn't know what plan she had, since the nun said so, he walked toward the upstairs alone, just treating it as his own investigation.
The interior of the apartment was not dilapidated, it looked like it was still being used, just didn't know why there was no one now. After reaching the second floor, Xia De didn't notice any abnormality in the darkness, so he continued to carry the lantern and walked upward. And as he approached the third floor, the whisper elements gradually became active:
"What could it be?"
He was ready for battle, but after arriving in the third-floor corridor, he still found nothing. Trying to continue walking inward along the corridor, a wisp of faint blue firelight finally appeared abruptly in the darkness.
In the creepy wailing sound, the firelight expanded rapidly until it turned into a person burning with blue flames all over, and opened his arms and rushed toward Xia De.
"What is this?"
"Hilton Seal!"
Since those people burning with blue fire appeared out of thin air, interfering with their appearance was also a method.
If one is not afraid of the low temperature that steams the body, one can return to the starting point.
Xia De walked down the stairs, and as Sister Daifulin stood up, she told the truth about this Relic:
The lethality of this strange blue flame was not strong, at least not strong for Xia De. But once the body or the shield maintained by oneself touched the flame, a forced space transfer would occur, and this characteristic was really tricky.
The nun nodded, and then withdrew her palm. Xia De resisted the urge to look back at her expression and pushed open the door, then with a bang, opened the umbrella outward. The rainy night was slightly cold, and the sound of rain broke into the room, also breaking a strange atmosphere between the two.
So two minutes later, with another muffled bang, Xia De returned to the first floor while supporting the wall again. This time, only the trouser legs were stained with blue flames, and the flames were quickly absorbed by the bonfire in front of the nun.
Another two minutes, with the seventh muffled sound, a large group of butterflies appeared abruptly on the first floor, one-fifth of which were burning with blue flames. And as the red butterflies gathered into Xia De, the blue fire was again absorbed by the bonfire in front of the nun.
Knowing the rules, it was much easier. Just as he wanted to continue forward, he suddenly felt that his back was wrong. Turning around to look, the blue-fire figure with open arms was already close at hand, but Xia De didn't feel any spatial abnormality at all:
Another muffled explosion, Xia De didn't activate the Hilton Seal, but actively let a small amount of blue flames splash onto his clothes. A low temperature struck in an instant, and his whole body also burned with blue flames, and then disappeared on the third floor again.
"Tomorrow night, after confirming that the central island of Gelinhu can be sealed, please do not destroy the seal of the First Fire."
Xia De frowned slightly and took a step forward. His figure disappeared and immediately appeared in front of the burning figure. But at the same time he appeared, behind the position where he appeared, the second burning figure appeared out of thin air again, still opening his arms and pouncing on him.
This time Xia De persisted for a long time upstairs, and on the first floor, he could hear the sound of constant collisions, explosions, and small animals running around that could not be distinguished.
"Tomorrow night's battle, I need the power of space."
"Nun, actually you could have told me what was upstairs before I went up."
The sound of rain outside the window completely covered the muffled explosion. Xia De clearly felt that the shield had blocked the blue fire, and he didn't feel that he was injured, but he still spun around instantly. When he stood firm while supporting the wall, Sister Daifulin was kneeling by the bonfire in front of him, and obviously, he had returned to the first-floor foyer again.
Although he didn't gain a brand-new space movement ability, in the current situation of being about to land on the island, the ability to perceive the location of the First Fire was also quite good.
The position where the burning figure exploded just now, the ground and walls had no signs of damage. Nothing could be seen at the stairs, but when Xia De took two steps toward the inside of the corridor, the blue light flickered again, and the burning figure with open arms appeared out of thin air just like before, opening his arms and pouncing on him again:
The sound of rain outside the door was a storm, but the room was exceptionally quiet. At this moment, although the nun didn't even look up at him, Xia De clearly felt embarrassed.
【Outsider, you can restore your own spirit by absorbing flames... the effect is very weak.】
Summoning the Moonlight Greatsword, the golden spherical shield that unfolded filled the narrow corridor. And the next moment, the burning figure with open arms pounced on the shield emitting flowing light, and then turned into blue flames and exploded in the corridor.
Sister Daifulin remained silent, and Xia De also understood that there was probably a special Relic of the fire type upstairs in this building, and the nun hoped that he could help contain it.
Without anyone asking, he talked to himself, didn't look at the expression of Sister Daifulin kneeling by the bonfire, and walked up quickly while carrying the lantern.
Supporting the wall with dizziness, Sister Daifulin kneeling by the bonfire appeared in front of him again. This time the nun made a move, her trembling hands pierced into the bonfire, and the hand with burn marks slightly cupped the flame heart. So, the blue flames on Xia De's body actively flew toward the bonfire, disappearing into the orange-red flames as if being absorbed.
【A woman's self-esteem.】
"Of course, I understand. Once the seal is destroyed, what awaits the material world is a catastrophe. We were originally trying to prevent all of that, so of course, we cannot become the pushers instead."
Although it is the regret of someone who died lost in the maze, it is also the obsession he left behind, longing to return."
【Outsider, when you use "High-Efficiency Spatial Perception," you can perceive the location of the scattered fire seedlings of the "Primal Fire" in a larger range.】
"These things, are they not appearing from space movement?"
In the darkness, the nun behind didn't let go of Xia De's hand:
"That time Great Witch is really amazing."
The "you" in his ear commented softly:
"Except for appearing out of thin air, it turns out that these burning guys can also stretch their hands directly from under the floor."
At this time, there were only two people in the apartment, naturally, it was Sister Daifulin holding his hand behind him. Xia De was a bit puzzled, then felt the nun's palm getting hot, and immediately after, fire-red cracks appeared on the backs of both of their hands. The flame darted from the nun's hand into his arm, and the First Fire flowing in his body thus gained a brand-new characteristic.
On the back of the hands with burn marks, the red flame cracks flashed, like a few flame blood vessels on the fair back of the hands, but they disappeared quickly. And Xia De clearly felt that Sister Daifulin, who devoured the brand-new flame, seemed to have the power of space on her body.
"Moonlight Slash!"
After another bang, Xia De appeared on the first floor and rushed upstairs for the third time without hesitation. Five minutes later, Xia De finally walked from the third floor back to the first floor while stepping on the stairs. And at this time, a faint blue flame appeared on the wick of the old kerosene lamp he was carrying.
"Yes, the Primal Fire itself possesses spatial power."
The "you" in his ear commented softly:
"Document-level Relic 【Fire of Return】, often appears in ancient tombs, deep in forests with complex terrain, and closed dilapidated courtyards. Characteristic: when a living person approaches, it will continuously generate burning figures, which will send the life stained with flames back to the 'starting point' after exploding."
"It is rumored that an unknown adventurer in the Seventh Era left this soul fire.
He sighed softly, but didn't see Sister Daifulin's hesitant expression. After putting away the parchment and holding the doorknob wanting to open the door, the arm behind him stretched out and held Xia De's hand on the doorknob.
She lowered her head, as if knowing what Xia De was thinking:
"It seems that as long as this thing doesn't get close to me, it's fine. Space Stability Halo!"
Xia De said, and had already arrived at the nun's side. He opened the cover of the lantern, and the Relic alien fire turned into a stream of fire, flowing toward the slender flame seedling held by the nun, whose flame heart was a white circle.
Xia De turned around quickly and walked upstairs quickly without saying a word, so he didn't see the slight smile on the corner of the nun's mouth under the eye mask by the fire behind him.
The blue flames were quickly completely absorbed by the "Primal Fire," without even bringing any color change to the flames in the nun's palm. She silently closed her hands until the slender flame was completely covered.
Xia De didn't deny that his self-esteem was hurt, so he had to find out clearly and quickly what was at the end of the third-floor corridor.
He didn't say a word, carried the lantern, and walked up the stairs quickly again. Before long, he returned to the third floor.
The nun maintained her habit of being sparing with words, but explained everything in just a few sentences. Xia De nodded, asked for that witch's task list again, and after crossing out "Burning Blue Apartment," there were only three unimportant tasks left on the list.
This time the distance was too close to dodge, Xia De turned around and threw out a moonlight. Although he cut off the opponent's head, the body was still pouncing on him.
Sister Daifulin didn't comment on Xia De's first two actions, but Xia De felt his embarrassment more and more in the nun's silence. He carried the lantern and climbed up again in two or three steps, his pace a little faster.
