Chapter 491 Return to the Palace of Silver and Tin

Chapter 492 Return to the Temple of Silver and Tin

The protection of the Lord of Scales and Feathers is particularly effective at night.

Even though Avalon and Star Antimony were fighting, Aiwas, the Advisor, Grape and Olive still avoided both sides and arrived at the Temple of Silver and Tin safely under the cover of night.

However, the Temple of Silver and Tin at this time had completely lost its original shape.

The palace occupied by the Balrog has now completely turned into a stronghold of the Balrog - the walls and floors have become scorching hot, and just entering will feel the scorching heat that makes it difficult to breathe. The soles of the boots have melted slightly due to the high temperature, and there will be a sticky feeling and tearing sounds when walking. If you touch the wall directly with your hands, you will get blisters directly.

From here, you can still see the patrolling knights and the servants wandering in the palace.

The common point is that they have now been assimilated by the flames. There was a raging fire burning inside the knight's armor, but the fire did not burn the armor to a crisp; even the wandering servants in tattered clothes wandered aimlessly like zombies, with fire constantly overflowing from the cracks in their skin and facial features, but they did not ignite the few remaining clothes on their bodies.

The only good thing is that the palace has become quiet now. There is no sudden burst of fire, and no place suddenly collapsed due to burning.

It is as if the palace and the fire demon have merged into one and have fallen into a deep sleep.

"...If Master Nobel is here, it will be great."

The consultant couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "He should act with us..."

Although Grape on the side didn't know what the consultant was saying, he nodded obediently to express his agreement.

If Lore was here, he could distribute alchemical mixtures to everyone to resist high temperatures.

The mage's body is too fragile, and he is the only one among the four people present who can't withstand the high temperature of this environment.

The scorching airflow has reached a level that can kill ordinary people - a lot of metal is used in the walls of the Silver and Tin Temple. Now they are like a simmering boiler. If you add some water, you will probably be steamed.

The hot air went from the mouth and nose to the trachea and then to the lungs, and the consultant immediately felt the extremely clear burning heat.

According to the consultant's understanding of the human body, if he continued to stay in this environment, it would cause inhalation damage to the respiratory system. The mucous membranes of the trachea and bronchus will be congested and blistered, which may cause pulmonary edema and insufficient oxygen intake, resulting in a drop in blood pressure and reduced thinking ability, which will also reduce his ability to cast spells.

And there is a clear smell of sulfur in the air - if there is sulfur in the hot air, it will cause greater damage to the mucous membranes and lungs.

Therefore, even if there is a bishop around who can provide treatment for him at any time, the consultant dare not let himself stay in this dangerous state for a long time.

Once a battle suddenly occurs, he will not be able to resonate with the path of wisdom and cast spells with his unclear mind, and he will lose his combat effectiveness directly.

Because he was worried that he would attract the patrolling Flame Knight, the consultant did not dare to cast a large-scale spell. He could only put his hand in front of his mouth and nose, and condense a purification circle in his palm with water-attributed mana, filtering and cooling the air in this way.

The disadvantage of this is that it will continue to lose mana. Although the magnitude is not large, it cannot last too long.

"Hurry up and look for it," the consultant's low voice can be heard with a little anxiety, "If we can't find it, let's go out first."

"Mr. Hermes, if you can't stay here, you can hide outside."

Aiwass reminded kindly.

The consultant immediately shut up.

Outside?

——There is a fight outside!

Colossi and griffins fight, knights fight demonologists, and dead bodies turn into undead again and climb up. He was lucky to be able to get close to them without being discovered by them. He didn't want to get close to them and find trouble to see if they can see through his invisibility.

Even if he was not seen through, he couldn't stand being swept by the colossus!

Thinking is fire, and it needs intelligence as fuel.

Even the smartest people can't force something out of nothingness. In most cases, the reason why smart people are smart is that they are sharp enough to get more information - and "sharpness" is not a feature of the wisdom path, it is a talent for adapting to the path.

Now the consultant has no information at hand, he can only raise his perspective and analyze from a higher level - that is, from a perspective other than the promotion ceremony.

According to the consultant's experience, the promotion ceremonies designed by the Pillar God are not as random and traceless as reality. The essence of the promotion ceremony is simulation, and the promotion ceremony for the future means that He must want to see something or pass on a secret, otherwise there is no need to do it so carefully... A random passage from history can also be used for promotion.

If we analyze from this perspective, at least we can make a little speculation. That is to assume that "the design and arrangement of the Lord of Scales and Feathers must be meaningful", and then reversely infer what kind of plot He will set.

Although the time was skipped by two days, the promotion ceremony must have an internal logic that can push them forward even if they have no clue.

Moreover, the promotion ceremony must have a main lens, which is the plot that the pillar god who designed this dream wants to see. Just like when a reporter is interviewing, he will always aim the aperture at a certain person.

There are six people left now, and half of them are on their side. That means escorting the princess to the Church is only half of the task, and the "Evans" that the princess is looking for is another task line.

As long as Evans is indeed the native of the promotion ceremony, then everything is clear: since Evans is the only native among their group, it means that the current "plot aperture" must be on him.

If you just follow Evans, you will only encounter expected tests and dangers, which may be difficult or even life-threatening, but there is definitely a chance to solve them, and you will not die in an inexplicable accident.

But if you stay away from him, you may die in an unknown corner.

—— Therefore, even if it is hard, the consultant does not want to leave. Even if he is shameless, at least he will not be exposed, and he must follow Evans.

In this way, he can at least survive until the decisive battle... and then rely on his own ability.

The premise is that Evans is a native and not a promoted person. Otherwise, all his inferences are wrong. Because of this, after being reminded by Grape that "Evans and Isabel might have seen through his pretending to sleep and acting", he had a faint suspicion.

But now he thought about it carefully again. Whether Evans and Isabel were acting or not had nothing to do with whether they were promoted. Even if they were promoted, where did they get the information about "Shadow of Avalon"?

The last part of Grape's personal mission was to "assist in completing a ritual to end the invasion of Star Antimony", and this information matched "Shadow of Avalon".

So he remained silent and followed Evans into the Queen's bedroom where they left before.

Now it has been almost completely destroyed - it is the room where the Balrog was hatched, and it is also the place where General Karl fought the last time he died.

Fortunately, the Balrog itself is not here... But Evans's reckless behavior also scared the consultant's heart.

This time Evans looked around carefully and found that the dagger was indeed not here.

"Could it be destroyed during the battle?"

Olive proposed a possibility.

Aiwas shook his head: "It's impossible. The Fire Demon doesn't have the power to destroy the sacred weapon... If it was so easy to destroy, then the red-handled sword wouldn't have to be sealed."

"I'm going to pray to find it. It might disturb the Fire Demon, but it's hard to say..."

Aiwas reminded: "Be prepared for battle."
