Chapter 815 Temple of Fire, This Is Magic
The fourteenth day of the harvest month, the fourth day promised to Vanilla.
Originally, everyone in Bulkesso had planned that the heavy rain would last for a long time, but they did not expect that the heavy rain stopped unexpectedly last night.
With the arrival of a new day, it seems that even the air is filled with the fragrance of earth. The land washed by a lot of rain has become muddy. Fortunately, the road paved with gravel is barely walkable, and the impact will not be too big.
The city located on hematite experienced many lightning strikes yesterday, but so far I have not heard of any unlucky person being struck by lightning. After all, the nearby Kergel Mountain is also a rich mineral area, which is equivalent to a natural lightning rod. .
People gathered on the main road of Bulkesso just after breakfast, preparing to send Cocoa Saint and Vanilla Saint off to the Temple of Fire.
The saint hasn't appeared yet, and people are chatting in low voices.
"Have you heard? It seemed like someone rushed into the sky last night and scattered the rain clouds!"
"I saw it! It was simply a miracle! The dense rain clouds suddenly burst into a big hole, and then the wind blew away the remaining clouds, blowing away large tracts of rain clouds!"
"In Bulkesso, the only one who can do this is Mr. Sharptooth, right? With his power, he can split the dark clouds in the sky with just one axe."
"It doesn't seem to be Lord Sharptooth. When the man in the sky dispersed the rain clouds, someone witnessed Lord Sharptooth and his old friend Master Angus Miracle Hand drinking in the tavern."
"Who could that be?"
"I don't know, but haven't you noticed that the shape of the rain clouds in the evening is a bit strange? It seems to be very regular, like a strange writing... Could it be a divine revelation? "
"I saw it too. It looked like words, but I had no impression at all."
"I'm really curious about what that means. If it's inspired by the gods, it may not necessarily make you stronger if you study it thoroughly."
"You're overthinking it. Maybe it's just a prank by some strong man, deliberately teasing us with words we can't understand."
"No way, is there such a powerful person with such evil taste...ah! Hush - the Holy Maiden is crowned!"
The street suddenly became quiet, and a dragon carriage slowly drove up from the cathedral. Sitting on the dragon carriage were sisters Coco and Vanilla.
After putting on the sacrificial robes, the two sisters who looked serious could not see the way they had been laughing and joking with Tang En before. Sitting there peacefully, they actually looked a bit sacrosanct.
It's just that it's still a little bit inferior compared to Iluli.
Tang En, who was hiding in the teams on both sides, felt that Coco and Vanilla were still too immature. Compared to the professional saints of the family like Iluli, they were more like amateur working saints.
What's more, Iluli is extremely popular in the entire area covered by the followers of the Holy See of Light. Even the Ronitant Kingdom has many admirers of her.
But cocoa and vanilla are different.
There are many sub-races in the Renian Empire, and their aesthetics are also different. As a second-class sub-race, the image of the Kate cat tribe is close to that of humans, so naturally they will not attract the attention of the first-class sub-races. The reason why those people respect them so much is not because Won by their charm, simply because of who they are and what they represent.
Without the charm bonus, their range of influence will definitely not be too large.
According to the original plan, after Kaa and his team received Coco and Vanilla, they would follow the planned route out of the city and then go to the Temple of Fire, while Tang En, Angus and Sharptooth were hiding in the dark and following and watching. Watching the movement in the dark.
Ilia, on the other hand, was left at home by Tang En to learn how to control magic power every night.
"...I hope she won't teach indiscriminately..."
Tang En murmured to himself. The only thing he was worried about was teaching Ilia every night. If her idiotic worldview infected Ilia, it would be great fun.
However, what surprised Tang En was that the saint did not cause any commotion, but Kaa and the others attracted a lot of people to watch.
After all, the Harley motorcycles they ride are so manly. Although the orcs have never been exposed to this design style, the art is common, and the visual stimulation is the same no matter where they are. The wild and domineering Harley The motorcycle conquered the hearts of the orcs almost immediately.
"What are they riding on!? They look amazing!"
"Is it a mount? It doesn't seem like a monster."
"Maybe it's a construct, a kind of puppet golem?"
"Puppet Golem? Isn't that the golem used by Star Diamond Bank to guard? Will that thing be the same as the thing they ride?"
"It's just that the appearance is different, but the essence should be the same."
The bustling discussion brought a lot of attention to Kaa and the others. Have they ever received such treatment before?
Under the envy and jealous gazes of the orcs, everyone raised their chests and raised their heads in full posture. At this time, they could not embarrass their fellow humans.
Odula, who was not far away, looked at Kaa and the others very complicatedly.
It is obviously the duty of their Red Lotus Knights to escort the Saint to the Temple of Fire.
Now let those humans do it...
Although they did lose in the competition, it does not mean that they are really inferior to those human mercenaries!
Speaking of Bulkesso, they must be more familiar with the Red Lotus Knights!
How can we leave the work to humans!
What on earth is Your Majesty Ymir thinking?
In the palace on the high ground to the north, Testero was looking down at the motorcade on the street.
"The Temple of Fire... I hope nothing will go wrong this time."
Testero shook his head.
A long time ago, he proposed to incorporate the Fire Temple into the urban area of Bulkessor and try to move the development of the city closer to that side. Unfortunately, he was opposed by Ymir.
The Fire Temple is sacred, but also dangerous.
Mortals who attempt to approach God's realm without permission will only be harmed, not blessed.
"Speaking of which...what's going on with this guy Groma?"
Testero frowned slightly: "You're not going to quarrel with Ursa again, are you? Really, we haven't seen each other for several years, so why can't we sit together in a friendly manner?"
Testero, who was worried about his family affairs, quickly refocused his attention on dealing with various complicated things.
The convoy moved forward slowly, and soon left Bulcaisu amid the cheers of everyone, and then took the road to the northeast.
The Temple of Fire is located in the remnants of the Kilgor Mountains. One of the mountains is called Ancient Patrichnas, which means "Crown of Ever-Burning Flame" in the Orc language. The Temple of Fire is located there. .
When he heard this name, Tang En had a vague intuition.
The ancient Mount Patrinas where the Temple of Fire is located is probably an active volcano...
The muddy road did not affect the progress of the team. By noon, the team arrived at the ancient Patrichnas Mountain safely.
It seems that the other party did not choose to take action when they went there.
But after seeing the crater, the corners of Tang En's mouth kept twitching. As expected...it was really an active volcano.
If Tang En knew about the previous discussion between Testero and Ymir, he would definitely support Ymir.
The hell are you bringing an active volcano into the city limits? Is there something wrong with your brain?
By the way, whoever built the Fire Temple in a place like this has something wrong with him, right? The volcano does indeed symbolize the power of fire, but isn't it deliberately placed in a place like this to embarrass people?
Seeing that Coco and Vanilla were still planning to go deep into the crater after getting off the dragon carriage, Tang En was immediately shocked: "Are you going further in?"
"Of course, the Fire Temple is inside."
Coco said casually: "You guys should wait outside. If you don't get the blessing, you will be burned by the flames."
"Burn? I'm not afraid."
Tang En asked Kaa and the others to wait above. Angus and Sharptooth were responsible for secretly protecting them, while he followed the two saints into the crater.
After walking down the road along the edge of the crater for tens of meters, we were already very close to the hot lava. Only then did Tang En notice that there was actually a protruding stone platform hidden in the thick smoke.
The stone platform extends from the edge to the sky above the lava. It is in the center of the crater. It is frightening to look at it.
The temperature here has climbed to deathly levels, probably at least hundreds of degrees.
But as saints of the fire god Caloma River, both Coco and Vanilla have his protection, so the temperature here does not affect the two of them.
The two saints walked hand in hand to the stone platform, and then began to pray in a low voice.
Tang En suddenly widened his eyes and looked at them in surprise. As they prayed, a very soft red light emerged from them. The light formed a vortex in the central area above the two people, surrounded by sulfur and gunpowder smoke. After being dispersed, the lava below began to roll violently.
Isn't a volcano about to erupt?
Tang En broke out in a cold sweat. Even though he knew that he didn't have to be afraid due to his own strength, he still felt a little scared due to the instinct of an earthling.
However, the volcano did not erupt in the end.
A quaint temple rose from the rolling lava.
Tang En was dumbfounded.
A temple emerged from the lava!
Damn, this is so—wait a minute! This seems like magic...
"Is this the Temple of Fire?"
"That's right, you'd better stay away. That's the domain of the great Caloma River."
After Coco reminded him, he and Vanilla stepped into the temple hand in hand.
Tang En looked at the ancient temple. It was still a stone platform, still a circle of stone pillars, and still filled with simple but mysterious divine runes.
Tang En looked straight at the Fire Temple and couldn't help but sigh.
Mom's appearance is the same as other temples, there is no difference at all...
"I said..."
"Um?"
"This thing just came out from below, right?"
"That's right."
"Then you just go up there, aren't you afraid of burning your feet?"
"..."
