in the name of the queen

Chapter 183 Have you ever been crazy about yourself?

Under the intimidation of Roland's super monster-drawing physique and Anthony's giant bear-like physique, the surroundings quickly became quiet.

Although the demonized beasts have unclear minds, they still follow the laws of the jungle, and the strongest is supreme.

They sensed the appearance of a new bear king in the forest.

Wolves are afraid of bears and they run away from them.

The bears were afraid of the king, so they also stayed away.

The five-person group arrived at the crater without any hindrance.

This is the source of the induction that Lisa mentioned.

Lisa walked towards the crater step by step, her eyes a little blurry.

Seeing that she was about to walk towards the crater, Roland realized something was wrong. He rushed over and grabbed her wrist and yelled loudly: "Do you want to jump down?"

He knew Lisa too well. She was rarely stubborn, but she was hopelessly stubborn.

She couldn't listen to a word Roland said about the higher temperature of the magma inside.

Is this the special ability of [Temperature Control Apprentice]?
With such precise temperature control, coupled with Master Anthony's flame magic teachings, Lisa's future is limitless.

The hot magma was as cute as a cat in her palm.

However, the effect of her persuasion was very poor, and it even strengthened Lisa's determination.

"One second at a time!"

He took off the fatal damage neutralizing ring given by Sura and forced it on Lisa without any explanation.

Fortunately she is not normal, she is crazy.

Lisa looked at Roland tenderly and said softly: "I have tried. I can skillfully control the flames of coal burning and make them dance in the palm of my hand."

Roland almost fainted.

Lisa nodded gently, "Thank you."

Since he couldn't be persuaded, Roland could only make all preparations.

Lisa's eyes flashed with determination that she would rather die if she failed.

The compromise she accepted was to practice all night and jump off the volcano early the next morning.

Facing Roland's questioning gaze, Christine only said one sentence, "I can provide treatment and protection, but turning into ashes cannot save you."

Roland said angrily: "You looked at me at the last second and cried to me."

"Do you know how hot magma is?"

Roland wanted to persuade, but Lisa shook her head firmly and looked at Anthony.

Anthony came over and proposed this plan with a smile, "There is ready-made magma here. I can manipulate the magma to simulate the internal environment of the volcano and gradually increase the temperature to help you adapt."

"Teacher, do you also object?"

Roland said he was very cruel, but in fact he couldn't bear to see her hurt.

Sif and Roland had the same stance, and gently advised Lisa not to be impulsive.

After saying this, Christine took the scepter and found a place that was not too hot to wait.

She understood Lisa.

She was not qualified to say that Lisa took risks. She presided over the Holy Spring of Resurrection ceremony, and the risks she took were no worse than Lisa's.

Roland was delighted.

"I know, it's about the same burning temperature as coal." Lisa said calmly.

"I didn't refuse, but this is a disposable item. If I really can't bear it, the ring will protect me for a second at most."

Did you ask this question to answer this way?

In this case, there is no need to take risks.

Normal people cannot see the glorious moment when the three goddesses arrive.

This is the age of madmen and fools.

Seeing Lisa's stubborn look, Roland was at his wits' end.

"I object I object to you jumping right in. We have to practice step by step."

Lisa took the ring with a smile.

Lisa said nothing.

To confirm her words, she squatted down and covered her hands with the flowing magma.

Sif and Christine also came over.

But she had to take the risk.

Everyone is racing against time. If given a chance, who is willing to give up?

"Don't refuse!"

In this era of racing against people and against the sky, being slow equals death.

Anthony took Lisa to the side to practice. Roland and Christine were not far behind her, ready to rescue at any time, and Sif acted as the outer guard.

Anthony's teaching method focuses on a radical approach.

When he came up, he used magic to heat the flowing magma again, and asked Lisa to try to control it.

The scorching heat made the air restless.

Sweat continued to roll down Lisa's cheeks. Although she was prepared, the heat of the magma was still beyond her expectations.

She subconsciously wanted to retreat, but she happened to see Sif standing guard not far away from her peripheral vision.

Courage regained control of her body, she concentrated her mind to a certain point, and the same hot temperature surged in her palms to meet her.

"boom!"

The magma collided with the flames, splashing countless sparks, lighting up the White Mountains at night.

It's not enough to just hedge against the magma. If you want to get into the magma to retrieve things, you must create a protective cover that can completely isolate the temperature.

This is Lisa's ultimate test.

After struggling for at least half an hour, the protective shield Lisa put up was finally able to protect herself.

Next comes temperature control and cooling.

Roland and others waited very patiently.

Only Master Anthony's rich voice echoed around him.

His voice was like the roar of a giant dragon. Both the demonized beasts and ordinary beasts who heard the voice felt inexplicable fear and took the initiative to avoid it.

This was the first time Roland saw Baishan at four in the morning.

and surging volcanoes.

Under everyone's nervous gaze, Lisa took a deep breath and walked toward the volcano while holding on to the shield.

Before she set off, Christine stopped her and released her blessing.

Lisa's petite body seemed extremely small in front of the huge volcano. The magma cooled rapidly under her feet and turned into volcanic rock emitting hot steam.

Roland and Christine stood above the crater, staring at her, ready to rescue at any time.

Although they all know that the possibility of rescue in the event of an accident is almost zero.

The temperature of volcanic magma ranges from hundreds to thousands of degrees, and the hottest magma can melt steel in a short time.

Once out of control, the result waiting for Lisa will inevitably be cremation on the spot.

In order to ease the tense atmosphere, Roland asked Christine softly: "Miss Saint, what was the blessing you just gave her to release?"

"The mark of life."

Christine explained calmly: "The mark of life cannot save her, but it can sense whether her life is still continuing."

Roland nodded and said nothing.

Christine was not optimistic about Lisa's risky behavior, but she didn't say it clearly.

Under the gaze of everyone, Lisa walked towards the depths of the magma.

She took out the prepared shovel and prepared to carve a new path through the magma. However, the shovel became twisted and deformed within a short period of time.

Fortunately, she had fully anticipated the difficulties and prepared more than one shovel.

The previous shovels were all useless, and Roland threw the last shovel over.

This is a special arcane shovel. It is super heat-resistant and will not deform at all below 3,000 degrees Celsius.

If the Arcane Shovel deforms, it means that it cannot continue to move forward. This is also the early warning device Roland gave Lisa.

Before she entered the magma, Roland repeatedly warned her to act according to her ability.

There are many opportunities to become stronger, but they are gone when someone dies.

Lisa kept digging with her head down, replenishing energy for the light red protective shield at any time.

She didn't have time to wipe away the sweat, and it was evaporated soon after it was produced.

She was very sure that she was looking for the right place.

The calling feels stronger and stronger.

That's right, it's here!
She clearly felt that this was her only chance to be on par with Sif.

If she misses this opportunity, she can only become a vine wrapped around Roland's big tree.

She didn't want to be a vine.

If one day she would hold Roland back, she would rather leave silently.

But she knew Roland, who seemed careless, but actually cared very much about the people around him.

He would never give up on her, even if taking her with him would only drag him down.

If she doesn't succeed, she would rather turn into a ball of fireworks and burn out deep in the volcano.

"boom!"

A hot stone splashed from the bottom of the magma, spinning towards Lisa.

She then swung the Arcanite Shovel, knocking the stone away.

Volcanic activity is increasing.

Roland saw the strange movement of the volcano and shouted Lisa's name from above.

"Lisa, come up quickly, the volcano is about to erupt!"

"I know, it's moving! I found it!"

Roland's face changed slightly.

Damn it, Lisa lied, for the first time in years.

Before going down, she promised to leave if she encountered danger, but she broke her promise after going down.

Roland knew very well the reason for Lisa's persistence.

She just refused to admit defeat.

Lisa, who had never had a strong heart, was extra stubborn this time.

Roland rushed towards the volcano, but was forced back by the heat wave.

He doesn't know how to control flames and can't get close to the volcano.

No one can save Lisa now, except herself.

And Roland knew very well that if she couldn't find the artifact she was sensing, she would rather die inside than come out.

Roland turned his attention to Anthony.

Seeing that Anthony was so nervous that he didn't even bother to wipe his sweat, he already knew the result.

Just because a magician is good at manipulating flames does not mean that he can resist the erosion of flames.

The attack power of the flames controlled by extraordinary beings is far inferior to that of magicians, but they can move forward and retreat freely in the flames.

The magician is powerful, the extraordinary is precise.

This is their difference.

Roland looked at Christine as if searching for a life-saving straw in the sea, and the latter slowly shook her head.

The magma continued to spread, and Lisa's whole body was immersed in the magma. She clenched the shovel tightly and watched the front end of the Arcanite shovel twisting and deforming, and her heart trembled slightly.

Further down, the temperature of the magma will exceed her upper limit.

Because the heat was too great and there was no place to dissipate heat around her, she could only hold on for a short time with the protective shield.

Can you fish out the treasure from the magma in this short time?

She didn't know whether she could make it back alive after fishing out the treasure.

Her eyes flashed with determination, and she turned back sharply.

In the blazing flames and thick smoke, Roland could clearly see the shape of her mouth.

"Lisa!"

He couldn't help but scream, and then he saw Lisa, who used to be in pain for a long time if her fingers were burned when cooking, falling into the sea of ​​fire like a butterfly and disappearing into the magma.

He gathered his strength, shouted lightly, and supported the divine blessing.

Under the protection of divine protection, he could get closer to the volcano, but he could not protect Lisa who was walking toward death.

"Whoosh!"

The spear pierced the night sky and accurately struck three meters in front of Roland. The tail of the spear was still trembling.

This is the spear thrown by Sif.

The position where the spear struck was the dividing line between life and death.

If you cross this line, even if you have divine protection, you will die sooner or later. Golden light enveloped Roland and continued to move forward.

Christine didn't stop.

Adults have the right to make choices, and all she can do is respect them.

Of course, she just respects Lisa who is willing to fight tooth and nail to find a breakthrough.

If Roland was crazy enough to walk into the crater, that would be foolishness.

Sifu, who was standing guard not far away, had her heart in her throat and almost screamed, but she held back.

She respected Lisa's choice and Roland's wishes.

If Lisa died here, she would mourn this brave girl. If Roland.
Roland has brains and won't do stupid things
Right?
Sif's heart was beating fast.

No one is absolutely rational. If Roland really loses control of his emotions, he might really jump.

If he jumps, what should she do? Sif's mind went blank.

Anthony stood at a high place, staring at the place where Lisa disappeared, his thick palms clenched tightly, and beads of sweat kept falling.

"Back off!"

Christine scolded and warned Roland.

Looking at the erupting volcano, she warned while retreating.

Roland wasn't even her friend, just a partner, and there was only so much she could do.

If Roland took the initiative to seek death, she would have no control over it.

Anthony was also retreating, and he was so nervous that he almost sat down on the ground.

He felt a little regretful, maybe he should have persuaded him a little more.

But he had seen Lisa's eyes, which were as bright as a blind man who had just seen the light.

Everyone will die, and dying on the road to pursuing progress may also be a kind of happiness.

Lisa might have settled for mediocrity before, but she won't now.

Roland's face turned pale. He pulled out Sif's spear and backed away slowly.

He could no longer see Lisa and couldn't hear any sounds, but he could clearly feel that Lisa was inside.

She's not dead yet!
After returning to Christine, Roland's throat was throbbing, but he couldn't ask a word.

Kristine nodded silently, Lisa was still alive, at least for now.

All they could do was pray.

The volcano erupted again. Toxic smoke filled the top of the mountain, and lava continued to pour out.

In such a terrible environment, is Lisa really still alive?
Roland trembled, being forced back by the magma.

Since they couldn't help, they had no choice but to retreat to a safe location.

The four of them looked at the increasingly terrifying crater in silence, speechless.

The atmosphere was extremely depressing.

Three minutes passed, and Roland was tortured every second. These three minutes were as long as three complete epochs.

Not seeing Lisa made him realize how much she meant to him.

After her parents died, Lisa took on the task of taking care of his life as if it were natural.

Although Lisa lives in the house left by her father, with her appearance, it is not difficult to marry a rich man.

She was by no means left for materialistic life.

In her heart, Roland has long been her family.

She helped Roland find a job, and when he came of age she began to make arrangements to find a suitable wife for him.

She is like a sister, but she cares a little too much.

When being controlled by Lisa, Roland had a headache. He even felt that she was like a young version of an old woman, and her control was too lenient.

Only now did he realize that Lisa had long been integrated into his world and could not be separated from her.

Carriage pretended to be drunk, and he finally understood what Lisa was really thinking.

Although it is not clear when the bloodless family relationship will turn sour, it does not matter.

He needed Lisa by his side, simple as that.

Flames and smoke separated him from Lisa, and for the first time he felt scared.

He was afraid that this would be the last time.

When Lisa turned back just now, he saw three points of reluctance and ninety-seven points of determination in her eyes.

Roland looked at Christine's fair cheeks with his peripheral vision every few seconds.

As long as the mark of life is still there, Lisa is not dead, and there is still hope.

Three torturous minutes passed, and Roland's hands were shaking like Muhammad Ali.

It's a race against time, and every second brings more danger.

Just when Roland's mental tension reached the extreme, Christine stood up suddenly, with a bit of regret in her eyes.

Roland's heart stopped.

Lisa's life mark disappeared.

Christine lowered her head silently and prayed softly.

"Shut up!"

Sif interrupted her prayer.

"You want to see people when you are alive, you want to see corpses when you die. You didn't see anything, why did you curse her?"

Kristine bowed her head obediently and shut up.

She didn't want to quarrel with Sif, not because she was afraid of this idiot queen, but because she didn't want to make the atmosphere more embarrassing.

Sif grabbed Roland's hand and pulled him aside.

"Roland, Lisa."

"I know, no need to comfort me."

Tears welled up in the corners of Roland's eyes and he said softly: "Maybe one day, I will see her in another world. I hope she hasn't forgotten me."

"Roland! She's not dead!"

"Not dead? But her life mark has disappeared."

Sif's cheeks turned crimson from the hot temperature, and she asked softly: "Miss Lisa likes you, right?"

Roland said nothing.

Silence is also a default.

Maybe that would make Sif unhappy, but he didn't care at all right now.

Sif bit her lip and said, "I don't want to explain, but believe me, Lisa must have encountered something wonderful and not died."

Roland wanted to ask Sif the reason for her judgment, but couldn't.

Lisa is made of flesh and blood, a carbon-based life, and her existence cannot violate the principles of physics.

Carbon-based life cannot survive in such harsh conditions.

At least not humans.

He understood what Sif meant. As long as he didn't see the body, he was missing.

Lisa has three more years of legal life left to live.

Just like his father who has not yet reached the death sentence. Even if the bones and flesh are sunk into the muddy ground, they are still legally missing.

Just like the late Emperor Edward, at least he was still alive legally.

What a fool.

Roland was not hysterical like a romantic drama, nor was he yelling at Sif and telling her about his bond with Lisa, like a third-rate soap opera.

The road to transcendence is a climbing path with only a starting point and no end.

Either die halfway or keep moving forward.

Lisa's passing confirms this.

He will not be depressed, he will continue to move forward until he reaches the same peak of power as the three goddesses.

"Sif, I'm fine. No matter where Lisa's soul is scattered. Even if it's the River Styx, Hell or even the Sea of ​​Annihilation, I will take her home."

Not only Lisa, but also the elf Sif, who has only a glimmer of consciousness left and is trapped in a dreamland of flowers.

Lisa's death made Roland's heart become as solid as iron.

He will definitely make it to the end!
Seeing Roland's determined expression, Sif was angry.

Of course she knew Lisa was still alive. Lisa is her love rival, and she has a special feeling for Lisa.

She just used [Insight] to take a look at the crater. Lisa was not seen, but the reddish light that represented the threat was still there.

Not only does it exist, it is even gradually increasing.

Sif stood on tiptoes and grabbed Roland's shoulders, almost getting close to his face.

Their eyes met, and Sif roared angrily.

"I said she's not dead! It's not that she's not dead legally, it's that she's really not dead!"

".not dead?"

Roland's pupils trembled.

He couldn't believe his ears.

"I don't want to explain, but please believe me!"

Roland nodded heavily. The calmness he had barely maintained just now could no longer be maintained, and his tall body collapsed instantly.

It collapsed like a taut bow string loosening.

Sif hugged him, feeling Roland's body trembling, and comforted softly: "Don't worry, we will wait a little longer."

Looking at the crater where magma was continuously spewing out, Sif's mood was a little complicated.

Lisa is a love rival.

According to common sense, she should expect Lisa to be burned to death in the magma.

But she couldn't hate Lisa, after all, Lisa didn't have any hostility towards her.

Sif suddenly trembled. She found a reason to look forward to Lisa's return.

As long as Lisa is alive, she is a love rival that can be defeated!

If Lisa dies, she will become a lifeless ghost, living in Roland's heart forever, always above her!

Although the surroundings were extremely hot, Sif's mind was extremely calm.

She let go of Roland, slowly squatted down on one knee, and began to pray devoutly.

Seeing Sif's movements, Roland was a little confused.

He could feel Sif's sincerity.

Does she really want Lisa to be safe?

At this moment, Sif seemed to Roland like an angel descended into the world. She was holy and flawless, which made Roland feel a little ashamed of herself.

He followed Sif's example in confusion, knelt down on one knee, clasped his hands together, and prepared to pray.

Just when he was about to pray, he was shocked to remember that he didn't seem to believe in any god.

All he could pray for was.
"Father, mother, if you can hear my prayer, please keep Lisa safe!"

You don’t have to believe in God, but your parents still have to believe in it.

Perhaps it was prayer that played a role, or perhaps it was the weather that kept people from falling. Five minutes after the volcano erupted, Lisa finally walked out of the hot magma.

Although her clothes were riddled with holes in the fire and only the fireproof inner armor was left, although she looked miserable and trembling every step she took, she came out alive.

The two rings on his fingers were all broken, and the fireproof magic equipment was also damaged.

At least people are okay.

Roland rushed forward like lightning and hugged Lisa tightly.

Anthony looked up at the sky. Although he had never studied astrology, looking at the stars was a pleasure.

Christine prayed "concentrated" as if nothing in the world had anything to do with her.

Sif
She ran to pick up her spear.

Although the spear was thrown just a few meters away, she couldn't see it and looked everywhere for it.

Lisa was held tightly by Roland and was completely stunned.

This was the first time Roland hugged her in front of so many people.

It's really warm.
Wait, Sif is still there!
She twisted Roland's arm hard, kept reminding him with her eyes, and almost took a bite before Roland let go of his arms under the threat of her gaze.

"Sister, I'm really afraid I'll never see you again! This is the longest five minutes of my life."

"Me too."

Lisa lowered her head slightly and said softly: "I encountered a very wonderful thing, just..."

"Just stay alive, everyone has their own secrets!"

Roland interrupted Lisa.

It doesn't matter if it's inconvenient to say it, safety is what matters.
