Chapter 914 The Secret of the God of Fire
…
"This is my first time coming here, but I have read records before. This place was originally an ancient city, and it was once prosperous and prosperous. Until Bellaroca appeared, this ancient city was completely destroyed."
Lidya, with a pretty face and a rosy face, was walking in front. She and Wang Yan were going from one apex of the sealing circle to another.
Although the road was rough and the air was hot, fortunately with Wang Yan's help, she felt much more relaxed. Just hold hands with Wang Yan every once in a while and replenish some pure yang true fire breath.
"The seal node we want to repair is in that direction, about six or seven kilometers away." Lydia looked at the map and pointed to the right.
"But we still have to be careful. We can only walk on the periphery and get too close to the ruins of the ancient city. If we wake up the Earth Flame Demon Bellaroca, we will be finished." Lydia said, giving Wang Yan a playful smile beside her.
Entering the Fire Forbidden Land, especially when the internal seal is damaged, sticking to the side of the Earth Balrog to repair the seal nodes, in the eyes of other instructors and professors of Starry Sky Academy, this approach is no different from pulling a tooth from a tiger's mouth. Will be buried in fire.
Lydia naturally had some scruples about such an extremely dangerous matter, but more importantly, she had an indescribable courage, as if she felt safe as long as the Son of Flame was around.
"What is the origin of Bellaroca, the Earth Flame Demon? Even your grandfather, Dean Emmons, is so worried about it."
Wang Yan pulled Lidya up, spread his wings behind him, crossed a boiling lava river, and landed steadily on the solidified magma rock on the other side.
Looking around, it looks like an underground cave, with rivers of lava everywhere. The air is filled with the smell of smoky sulfur. The ruins of the ancient city are like tombstones, sparsely standing in the place where the lava has not submerged. place.
Apart from the occasional hollow sound of boiling and bubbling magma, there was no additional sound.
For safety reasons, Wang Yan and Lidya did not use powers or magic along the way, but they could clearly feel that the atmosphere here was completely different from those in the volcanic caves.
The air here is filled with a strong and depressing atmosphere, especially in the layers of palaces in the middle of the ancient city. The aura coming from it is primitive and ferocious, as if there is a wild beast hiding in it that will come out at any time to destroy the world. It's heart-wrenching.
"The rich flame elements here all come from the ancient Balrog."
Lydia nodded and answered while walking on the rugged blackened rocks, "Legend has it that in ancient times, Bellaroca was not a fire demon, but the god of fire born from our earth itself. A faithful servant."
"The God of Fire? Is he the same god as the Father God of the Holy See and the Demon God of Hell?" Wang Yan immediately became interested when he heard this. The God of Fire has a lofty status in mythology all over the world. Many Religious creation records all indicate that the world was born in fire.
In fact, there is some truth to this theory. The ancient earth was indeed a sea of lava and fire. After a long evolution, the mantle, crust, and ancient oceans emerged.
"What happened to the God of Fire?" Wang Yan asked. He himself is a fire superpower, not to mention that he is a native god of our earth.
"When I was a child, I read relevant records in an ancient narrative poem."
Lydia recalled for a moment and continued, "Later...it seems that in ancient times, enemies called extraterrestrial demons by the ancients descended from the sky and tried to invade our rich planet. Therefore, the gods of our earth and those extraterrestrial demons, There was a fierce confrontation.”
"Extraterrestrial demons?" Wang Yan secretly wondered in his heart, is it a demon from the abyss or a force from hell? Or a foreign enemy similar to the two?
"That battle lasted all the way to the starry sky. According to legend, even the night turned into day." Lydia's voice was unhurried, as if she had become a shaman prophet from the human tribal period, speaking to the campfire. An old story.
"According to legend, that war lasted for a long time, and we won in the end, but those gods never came back."
Unconsciously, a faint sense of tragedy began to spread in the air. Wang Yan and Lidya both fell silent, and even the three-legged Golden Crow, who had always been restless, fell into a long silence at this moment.
If you observe carefully, you can find that there seems to be crystal water flowing in its eyes. Perhaps it has once again fallen into the inner demon and evoked many fragmented memory fragments.
Wang Yan nodded slightly. He understood that since they won the battle but did not come back, those gods probably used self-sacrifice to save the earth.
After a while, Wang Yan asked: "Since Bellaroca, the Earth Flame Demon, was once a servant of the God of Fire, why did he later become the demon king who harmed the other side?"
"It's a long story. According to the legendary records, the Earth Flame Demon Bellaroca, like the God of Fire, also came from the initial fire of our earth. However, it was the remaining energy that condensed after the birth of the God of Fire. Derived elemental gods.”
Lydia continued to tell the story about the Balrog, "Bela Rocca was first known as the Earth Flame Spirit and is the guardian of this city and this land. The residents of this city are all gods of fire. and the followers of Bellaroca, the Earth Flame Spirit.”
"I think the legend should be true. Look at the broken wall of the city gate over there, and there is the symbol of the flame totem." Lydia said, stretching out her hand and pointing to the other side.
Wang Yan followed her guidance and saw a flame-shaped totem sign engraved on a huge white rock wall next to the magma lake on the left.
Although thousands of years have passed, these city walls built with giant rocks are still very majestic and solid, especially the symbol of the flame totem, which is lifelike. Instead of wearing it out, the years have added a bit of history to it. feel.
After careful observation, you can also find that many places in the ruins of this ancient city have similar totem symbols. It seems that the residents of this ancient city do regard flames as their faith.
"What happened next?" Wang Yan asked lightly. Time has changed, and countless ancient civilizations have been destroyed and disappeared in the long history.
The three-eyed corpse Miu Yi, the three-legged golden crow he encountered before, as well as the dilapidated ancient city in front of him, are all witnesses of a period of history.
"There are not many records in the ancient books, but according to my speculation, Bellaroca also participated in the war against the extraterrestrial demons, but was injured and fell asleep in the magma lake in the mantle. He did not follow the God of Fire to attack the stars. ”
Lidya and Wang Yan walked forward while analyzing rationally.
Wang Yan is full of interest in this kind of story about the God of Fire, but there are too few records about this kind of ancient history in the world.
The Three-legged Golden Crow also became uncharacteristically quiet. It is currently just a remnant soul of the god that has not yet recovered, and has lost many memories. However, it instinctively feels that this story resonates with it, so it flies quietly between the two. Above the person, listen carefully.
"The place where Bellaroca slept at that time was exactly under this land. However, I think that in the long years that followed, Bellaroca's injury not only did not heal, but became more serious. In other words, its injury The pollution is getting worse.”
Lidya frowned and expressed her speculation.
"The pollution has gotten worse?" Wang Yan was surprised.
Hell forces, abyss demons, and some evil warlocks on the earth will use some means to confuse or corrode the opponent's mind, so as to control or drive the opponent crazy. But what kind of pollution did Bellaroca suffer? After such a long time in ancient times, the pollution not only did not dissipate, but made it completely crazy and eventually became a demon king.
"It is said that the city was holding an annual sacrificial celebration at that time, and the object of the sacrifice was Bellaroca. The people's celebrations awakened the demonized Bellaroca, and it woke up again, carrying the mantle from the earth. The magma emerging from the depths and the incomparable terrifying power destroyed the entire city. "
Lydia said with some regret, "According to the records left by the Star God, Bella Roca has transformed from the earth fire spirit into an earth fire demon without any reason, only knowing how to vent and destroy."
"Faced with this crazy flame demon, the Star God can only choose to destroy it."
"It's just that Bellaroca had peak semi-god-level strength at the time, and had a steady stream of underground lava as its power support. As long as it was connected to the magma, even the Starry God was helpless." Lydia stopped. , told the final story.
"Therefore, the God of Starry Sky summoned the top magicians in Europe at that time, used the tears of the starry sky to attract the power of the stars, and used the secret technique 'Star Surge' to severely injure Bellaroca."
"While Bellaroca was seriously injured and unable to move, a group of hundreds of high-level magicians, organized by the God of Starry Sky, used the power drawn from the tears of the starry sky to destroy the entire city that was swallowed up by the magma. La Roca, they were all put into the space folds and sealed."
Lydia finished telling the story and blinked, "You probably know the rest. The remaining senior magicians founded the Starry Sky Academy under the leadership of the Starry Sky Magic God to inherit the glory of magic forever. At the same time, the Earth Flame Demon Bellaroca will be suppressed beneath this land forever. However, I don’t know whether the Earth Flame Demon’s strength has recovered or declined.”
"Senior Xingkong Dharma God, you are really an amazing master." Wang Yan sighed after hearing this. This ability to capture the stars and the moon couldn't help but make him yearn for a higher level.
Suddenly, the three-legged golden crow flying above the two people let out a very excited cry,
"Quah! Treasure, treasure!"
Wang Yan and Lidya immediately looked sideways to the left and saw that beneath the rock ridge where they were, the ravines and ravines were filled with dots of red crystals.
These crystals shone with an alluring luster in front of two people and one bird.
"Fire marrow, fire crystal, red sun iron, ash stone... Oh my God! There are so many precious fire magic materials here!" Lydia became happier as she recognized them, and finally she screamed in surprise.
Not only this, if you look closely, you will find that the crystals and minerals condensed by these flame elements become more numerous as you move towards the center of the ruins!
Wang Yan's eyes flashed with light, "I'm going to make a fortune this time!"
