Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

"Can you stand up?" Ember asked softly, turning her gaze to the girl with frightened eyes.

"me……"

Instinctively frightened by the rolling thunder, the girl who fell to the ground once again spit out two words with trembling lips, but couldn't utter a complete sentence.Looking at the dragon corpses all over the place, she felt inexplicably complicated.

These mighty dragons who chased them all the way and slaughtered the entire tribe, now only left with wreckage everywhere.The sturdy dragon scales that made it impossible for them to even break through their defenses were already shattered under the lightning, leaving only a bloody corpse...

The strength of this man in front of him is simply terrifying!
"I, can..." Lilith gritted her teeth and stood up, whispering:
"Thank you for saving me."

Lilith didn't know what Ember wanted to do, but at least the ember seemed friendly and indeed saved her from the dragon.This made the girl feel grateful to him while being afraid.To fear is power, to be grateful is action.

Ember looked down at the girl's still trembling legs, knowing that she still needs some time to adapt, and asked softly:
"Why are they chasing you?"

"In order to plunder our blood essence."

Lilith's mood became depressed, and she whispered, "The strong prey on the weak, that's how this world is. Giants hunt dragons, and dragons hunt us..."

"Have you ever heard of the Old Gods?"

Ember pondered for two seconds, then asked.

"Ancient God?"

Lilith raised her head, eyes full of bewilderment.

"For example, the ancestor of the blood race, have you heard of it?"

Lilith shook her head in confusion, and said hesitantly:

"I've never heard of the ancestor of the blood clan, but the strongest among the blood clan is Lord Lucius, he is a real god. His castle is at the easternmost part of the mainland, and I heard that there is no need to worry about dragons there. Sister Dorothy originally planned to lead us through the desert in the middle of the mainland to the east, but I didn’t expect..."

Lilith's eyes dimmed. Hundreds of people in the entire tribe were completely wiped out in the unremitting pursuit of the giant dragons.Even she wouldn't have survived if it wasn't for the sudden appearance of Ember.

"There is no blood ancestor?"

Ember's expression moved slightly, but she wasn't too surprised by the answer, and then asked:

"The giant king Ormir, the fantasy dragon Angerweed, the heterogeneous king Kvahitun, the elf king Sunya Solem, the destroying wolf Freguera, the ancestor of the phoenix, Gray Carrie, Demon King Farbouti. Ever heard of any of them?"

"Olmer?"

A trace of surprise flashed in Lilith's eyes, and she explained in a low voice:
"I've heard of the King of Giants. Legend has it that he is the common ancestor of all giants, but I don't know what his name is. No one knows. I haven't heard of other names, but there seems to be a giant dragon in the dragon clan King of……"

Lilith blushed suddenly, because she found that she couldn't answer a single question.

"That's it."

Ember nodded slightly, and Lilith's answer matched his guess.

According to the elves' division of history, the Second Epoch is divided into three eras: the age of germination, the age of the beginning of fire, and the age of twins.

The last time he went was the age of twins. At that time, Lilith, the ancestor of the blood race, had long since fallen. Giants and dragons were the two most powerful extraordinary races.

And before that, the Era of the Beginning of Fire centered on the confrontation between the eight ancient gods.Giants, elves, and vampires form the pan-human camp, while giant dragons, alien species, and phoenixes form the extraordinary race. In the process of fighting and confronting each other, the two sides jointly fight against the pollution and erosion of demons and demon wolves.

As for the current era before the birth of ancient gods, it is undoubtedly in the embryonic age of the early second era.

During this period, the ancient gods came to the world one after another, and the sky, the earth, the ocean, and the underground gradually transitioned from absolute disorder to a certain order.And during this period, because the Blasphemy Slate had not yet been born, madness and tyranny flooded the land, even the ancient gods were not spared.

From the current point of view, the giant king should have initially got rid of madness by giving birth to children crazily, but his rank should not have reached Sequence 0.Similarly, the fantasy dragon should be the same.

As for the blood race...

"Is Luzius male or female?" Ember suddenly asked.

"Eh?"

Lilith was stunned for a moment, as if she hadn't expected Ember to ask such a question, but she hesitated and whispered:
"Although I have never met Lord Lucius, he should be male."

If the embers realize something:
"Since it's a male, it won't be Sequence 1."

"And Lilith called Lucius 'He', and described it as 'a real god', which means that there is a high probability that he is an angel."

"What's more, since Lilith's tribe has a Sequence 4 saint, it is unlikely to seek refuge with another Sequence 3 saint. After all, even a tribe with a Sequence 4 saint can be easily slaughtered by a dragon. 3 is not much better, only the angels of Sequence 2 can barely gain a foothold."

"That is to say..."

Ember's eyes moved slightly, and suddenly turned to Lilith, with a low voice:

"Lilith."

"I, I am..."

Lilith was nervous and at a loss, not knowing what Ember wanted her to do.

"Are you longing for power?" Ember's eyes were deep, and there was a mass of blood-red gems in his hand, and the light it emitted was as dazzling as the moonlight.

"I……"

Lilith's gaze was almost instinctively attracted by the blood ruby ​​emitting moonlight, and she swallowed.

She is not greedy, but her instinct makes her yearn for these 'blood essences', even though she knows that these essences once belonged to her people.

The girl clenched her silver teeth, looked away with difficulty, pursed her lips, and asked in a low voice:

"What do you need me to do?"

She knows that everything has a price.

If she wants to gain power, she may pay a price she cannot bear.

"What do I want? That's a really good question."

Ember rubbed her chin, but didn't immediately answer Lilith's question.

But not knowing what she thought of, Ember suddenly chuckled.

"Eh?"

Lilith blinked, her expression was a little confused, she didn't know what Ember was laughing at.

Ember's eyes fell on the girl again, and said softly:
"Become the ancestor of the blood race, Lilith."

"Eh?"

The bewilderment in Lilith's eyes was even worse.

who I am?where am I?What is he saying? ——
Trier, in a luxury hotel near the St. Roselle Church.

Audrey, who lived in the luxury suite on the top floor, was sitting on the padded chair in the room, looking at herself in the mirror, slightly absent-minded.

"What are you thinking?"

The voice next to her ear made Audrey's face move slightly, and through the reflection in the mirror, she saw the figure standing not far behind her.

It was a lady, wearing an intricate and gorgeous black dress, sitting on a soft mattress made of velvet.Her face was covered with a thin black veil, making it impossible to see her features clearly.But the woman's beautiful figure and crisp and beautiful voice still make people instinctively like her.

But Audrey changed color slightly, because she had seen this lady in the daytime square!

"How did you get in?"

Audrey showed a panicked look just right, and nervously left the chair, taking a few steps closer to the door in a way that did not attract suspicion.But this is just a disguise, because Audrey knows very well in her heart that since this lady can appear in her room without a sound, her strength must be far beyond her imagination, and it is not realistic to escape from the door.

However, this does not mean that she will be slaughtered, because she has other backhands...

The lady smiled slightly and said softly:
"Miss Audrey, we are not enemies, but we have mutual friends. I came to you to help our friends."

Audrey was taken aback for a moment, as if persuaded by the other party's words, she relaxed her vigilance a little, and said hesitantly:

"Friend? Who?"

The lady stood up slowly and said softly:

"ember."

"..."

Audrey was silent for two seconds, there was no change of emotion on her face, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

The lady took off her veil and said with a smile:

"Miss Audrey, I think you can relax a little and don't need to be so nervous."

"Ah, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Karula, a witch."

"Witch?"

Audrey's spirit tensed up again.

She has only known two witches so far, one is Triss who seduced the third prince, and she can be said to be forced.But the other witch tried in vain to create the 'Backlund Great Smog' incident, which almost caused tens of thousands of casualties!

It was really hard for Audrey to believe that a witch was a good person, especially a witch who claimed to be a friend.

Carula easily saw through Audrey's thoughts, but she didn't mind. Instead, she smiled and said in a soft and melodious voice:
"I think you have misunderstood something. I am not a Beyonder of the Witch's 'path', but a 'spectator' path just like you. Of course, I am a little bit higher than you in the sequence."

She is the purest witch, and the purest corruption, but has nothing to do with the 'witch' path.

"Well, I think I can prove that..."

Carula stretched out her light-white index finger and tapped it lightly on her lips, as if thinking about how to prove her identity.

But in the next second, her wine-red eyes quietly turned into golden vertical pupils!

And behind her, a pair of pure black leather-covered wings also spread out quietly, and some black scales appeared on the cheeks and neck.

Audrey's heart trembled slightly, and the golden vertical pupils were undoubtedly one of the symbols of the 'spectator' pathway.And the covered wings are the symbol of the mythical creature form, and the opponent is a saint of the 'audience' path!
Audrey quickly regained her composure, took a deep breath and said:
"The embers are in the Church of Steam."

"No, he's not here."

Carula folded her wings and shook her head:

"I entered the painting world of the Church of Steam with him, but now he is missing, and I am looking for him."

"Missing?" Audrey's mind moved slightly.

"What did you think of?"

Carula keenly caught this wave and asked.

Audrey was silent. Although she hid it well, it was far from enough.If it is facing a Beyonder from other paths, even a Saint of Sequence 4 may not be able to see her true thoughts.But if she is facing a saint of the 'spectator' path, then all her concealment will be in vain.

"Can't you see it yourself?" Audrey asked back.

"Do you want me to do that?" Carula blinked.

Audrey remained silent. Of course she didn't want to, but she couldn't organize it, and she couldn't even be sure if the other party did it.

"just kidding."

Carula smiled and said, "I won't do anything to you, he hates us killing each other."

"Murder..."

Audrey's expression was a bit strange. She knew that the "he" in Carula's words referred to Ember, but the massacre was a bit too much, right?
Audrey said softly:

"I don't know where the embers are."

She didn't believe the lady in front of her who called herself Carula, but she instinctively chose to believe in Ember's disappearance, because this was not the first time.In the previous two disappearances, one went to the Sunya Sea, and the other went to the Land Abandoned by God.And one of these two disappearances was also related to the painting world.

So even if she heard that Ember disappeared because of the painting world again, Audrey would not be surprised at all.But the problem is that every time before Ember 'disappears', even he himself doesn't know where he will go, and it's even more impossible for Audrey to know.

"I know." Carula was not surprised by this, she nodded slightly, and said in a complicated tone:
"But he will definitely come back to you, that's why I want to stay by your side."

Audrey's mood is a bit delicate, this suspected 'high-sequence' audience path Extraordinary can undoubtedly hide herself perfectly in front of her, a Sequence 7 'psychiatrist'.But the other party didn't seem to do this, because she could hear the resentment in the other party's words...

Of course, the other party may also deliberately put on such a posture, just to win her trust.

"As you like."

Audrey was silent for a long time, and said softly.

Facing a demigod from the spectator path, she couldn't resist anyway.

Carula stared at the girl, and suddenly blinked playfully:

"Hey, Audrey, do you want to be my apprentice?"

"Huh?" Audrey was taken aback for a moment. This topic is a bit too wide, right?

Despite the difference, Audrey still declined without hesitation:
"No, I don't want it anymore."

"That's it~"

Carula made no secret of her disappointment, and regretted: "It's a pity, I thought..."

"What do you think?" Audrey always felt that the other party had malicious intentions, and asked sharply.

"I thought I could finally accept an excellent disciple."

Carula answered Audrey's question seriously, without any sign of lying.

But Audrey didn't believe a word, she herself was a Beyonder of the 'audience' path, and knew that people in the 'audience' path were the best at acting.Especially for a demigod of the 'spectator' path, he couldn't believe even half of the punctuation marks said by the other party.

Audrey didn't get entangled in this topic, and changed the subject and asked:
"Want tea?"

"Black tea." Carula nodded slightly.

Audrey yelled softly:
"Miss Letina, can I trouble you to prepare two cups of black tea?"

"I'm going to get ready."

There was a crisp response from a woman outside the door.

Carula narrowed her eyes slightly, this treatment is much better than her back then!
