Chapter 1609: Fire of Heaven (Part 2)

On the third day after arriving in Olympia, the group had just finished breakfast and were discussing where to go today. Perhaps they could go outside Olympia to have a look. Rhea, Illya and other witches came, and they brought Puro. Michus's new oracle tells Hestia to go to the temple's candlestick to purify the filthy flames.

"No, I want to go together." After hearing Rhea, Illya and other witches saying that only Hestia was allowed to go alone, Shen Fei immediately said, this is not Orario, in Orario City, It is not a big problem for the gods to act alone, but outside the city, the gods usually move with the protection of their dependents.

"Okay." In the end, with Hestia's insistence, Shen Fei was able to accompany Hestia and the others stayed on the ground.

"Underground altar? But at such an important time, the Speaker didn't follow. Are they really hiding something?"

The so-called candlestick is an underground altar. It was originally a place to worship the fire of heaven. Logically speaking, at such an important moment to purify the filthy flames, as the divine speaker of the religious order, he should follow. Even if something happens to him, Rhea, the leader of the witches, That's okay, but surprisingly, neither of them followed, which made Shen Fei doubt the situation on his Olympia side.

"It's quite big. It feels like a man-made maze. But is it necessary to build it so majestic?"

Looking at the majestic buildings around him and listening to Illya's explanation of the time to reach the altar, Shen Fei couldn't help but be speechless. The underground space of the temple was very large. With their footsteps, it would take more than a day to reach the candlestick. Over there, of course, this footstep refers to the speed of the miko, Hestia and the others.

However, the subsequent conversation with Illya made Shen Fei know that strictly speaking, this underground maze was built first, and the Olympia above was built later. Strictly speaking, this place was originally dedicated to the Fire of Heaven. Yes, but as the Heavenly Fire becomes filthy, it becomes a maze that suppresses the Heavenly Fire.

"Be careful, the Salamander has appeared." The group of people walked in the underground maze for more than an hour. Enemies appeared in front of them, beast-like enemies made of flames. After the Salamander appeared, Illya and other witches and Olympians The soldiers immediately began to fight.

"This is the filthy flame." Shen Fei asked immediately after Illya and others eliminated the enemy.

"Yes." Illya nodded immediately, but it seemed that she didn't want to talk more about the issue of dirty flames. After nodding, she immediately fell silent, and then the group continued to move forward, encountering attacks from fire beasts from time to time.

"Illya, be careful." When she encountered Salamander for the fourth time, because there were too many of them this time, the witches and soldiers were unable to cope with it, which put Illya in danger. A wolf-shaped Salamander pounced from behind. Ilia was killed, but the next moment, with a flash of cold light, the wolf-shaped monster was split into two, and the person who took action was naturally Shen Fei.

"Okay, leave it to me." Shen Fei didn't take action during this journey. He mainly watched the battle between the Flame Beast, the Witch, and the soldiers. If Ilia hadn't been in danger, he might have continued. Watch.

"In terms of ability value, they are almost only level 2, but their fire magic is very powerful, almost at the level of level 4. If it is two levels more powerful, it is worthy of being the fire of heaven."

Through previous observations, Shen Fei had a rough idea of ​​the strength of the witches and Olympian soldiers. The power was two levels higher. Bell and Alfea were only at this level. Only the Sky Fire was worthy of being half a god.

"How can this be done, Lady Hestia, but we are important guests." After Shen Fei decided to take action, Illya immediately said no. They were originally here to help Olympia, and it should be Olympia's responsibility to protect them.

"Okay, I understand." Shen Fei did not argue with Illya on this aspect. However, after encountering the enemy, he immediately took action and directly killed the Flame Beast with his sword energy, leaving Yi Liya Liya and others were very shocked.

"Are all Orario's adventurers already so powerful?" Illya was very surprised by Shen Fei's strength. This was an enemy that they had to go through a battle to defeat, but Shen Fei easily solved it.

"Only a small number of people are."

After Shen Fei took action, the group's forward speed increased greatly. The reason why Shen Fei took action was also because it was too slow for Ilia and others to take action against the Flame Beast.

"Filthy flames, let's forget about this. It's the clear fire of heaven. Maybe we can find a way to get a ray."

Along the way, while Shen Fei was dealing with the flame beasts transformed from dirty flames, he was also observing and studying the situation of the dirty flames. As the Herrscher of Flame, he could find ways to use the flames, but for those who were polluted Forget about the flames, what she wants is the fire of heaven.

Although the Heavenly Fire is filthy, there are still some clear flames. The fact that witches can still use fire magic is proof. The witches' flame magic borrows the power of the clear Heavenly Fire. If the Heavenly Fire is completely filthy, the witches will be able to use fire magic. They will lose their strength.

The fire of heaven is a very magical flame. It is used to destroy monsters, but it is only part of its role. It can also make the land fertile, refine powerful magical weapons, and can also be used on barriers. The important thing is that it can enhance human strength, similar to the effect of the Great Fairy Spirit.

Shen Fei didn't know that the Heavenly Fire had another very important function, which was to give humans immortality. As long as the Heavenly Fire was not extinguished, people could rely on its power to live forever.

"Let's rest here today."

As they moved forward, when they came to a cave, the witch said that there was no place to rest in front of them. Now it was dark outside, so they planned to rest here first and continue to move forward tomorrow.

"Let me find Illya." After eating the dinner prepared by the witches, Mir Alia and Minukia found Shen Fei and told him to find Illya on patrol. Although this was a cave, in order to avoid the attack of the fire beast, people still needed to be arranged to patrol, but the patrol of soldiers was not enough.

"Why let me go?" Shen Fei looked at the two witches strangely. It stands to reason that they should do this kind of thing by themselves.

"We can't. In front of us, Illya has been holding on. In fact, she is not suitable to be a priestess."

Miel Alia and the others then talked about Illya. Illya was from outside the city of Olympia. It was the people of the cult who saved her from burns. She was probably attacked by the filthy flames. After that, Illya joined the cult and received a favor, but she couldn't control the flames very well. For this reason, she has been working hard and rarely smiled. It was not until she went to Orario that she smiled more. Shen Fei was asked to go over because he was a member of the Hestia family.

"I see, I know, but I didn't expect that she had such a past." Since the two priestesses said so, Shen Fei naturally wouldn't say anything.

"This is really unexpected." Looking at Illya bathing in the pool in front of him, Shen Fei was a little speechless. He didn't expect to encounter such a situation.

"Ahhhhhhh." Illya obviously didn't expect Shen Fei to appear. After seeing him, she was stunned immediately. After a moment, she immediately shouted loudly.

"Okay, stop shouting, the Flame Beast has been attracted by you." The Flame Beast seemed to rush over quickly because of Illya's voice. After Illya saw the Flame Beast, she immediately stopped shouting.

"Pervert, pervert, so humiliating." After Shen Fei dealt with the Flame Beast, Illya looked at Shen Fei with a look of looking at trash.

"Okay, aren't you on patrol? Why are you taking a shower here?" Shen Fei looked at Illya speechlessly. It was obviously she who volunteered to patrol, but she came to take a shower.

"The patrol mission has been over for a long time. We have been fighting all the way. Ah, why should I explain to you? Turn around." As a woman, it is her nature to love beauty. After fighting all the way, she naturally sweats on her body. When she came across a place where she could take a shower, she took a shower.

"Okay, I know, put on your clothes quickly and come back. Be careful that the Flame Beast will appear later." Shen Fei said and prepared to turn around and leave.

"Wait a minute, I have something to tell you." Illya suddenly called Shen Fei, then put on her clothes, came to Shen Fei, and looked at him with a complicated face.

"I'm sorry." Illya apologized to Shen Fei with a complicated face.

"Miss Illya, you don't seem to be sorry for me, or do you mean something else when you say sorry." Illya's rabbit man apologized, which surprised Shen Fei. He didn't understand why she apologized. It was obviously her fault for guessing right in the matter just now, but then Shen Fei thought of a possibility.

"I'm sorry, I will compensate you." Illya said and turned and ran away.

"Interesting."

The next day, the group headed towards the candlestick, but this time the atmosphere on the road was very solemn. No one spoke along the way, even Illya, who was usually chattering, had a heavy face.

"We're here." After coming to a wall gate, Illya took a few deep breaths and spoke with a heavy face. Then the gate opened and a group of people entered. They immediately saw a huge flame. Compared with the flames seen in the temple above, the malice emitted by the flames here almost reached the essence.

"Has it reached this point? No wonder Prometheus came to me." Hestia looked at the filthy flames in front of her with a very calm expression. Although she usually looks very unreliable, she is a god after all.

"Lady Hestia, I'm really sorry." Illya said with a heavy face.

"No need to apologize. This is not something that the children in the lower world can handle. Everything is helpless. Haven't they absorbed filth for three thousand years?"

"Lady Hestia, please save Olympia. If the fire breaks out again, not only Olympia, but the whole world will be destroyed." The other witches knelt in front of Hestia and asked her to purify the filthy flames.

"Get up, I'm here for this." Hestia said as she walked towards the filthy flames in front of her. At the same time, as Hestia moved forward, the filthy flames began to vibrate violently, as if something was about to rush out of the filthy flames.

The next moment, dozens of fire beasts were born from the void and rushed towards Hestia. Just when Shen Fei was about to make a move, the frightened Hestia raised her palm, and the flames spread around her body, and the bodies of the charging fire beasts immediately dissipated.

"Little Shen Fei, it seems that my journey ends here. I am very happy to meet you." As Hestia spoke, the flames around her body became more and more intense, as if they were about to surround her.

"Is this the only way?" Shen Fei looked at the filthy flames that were still vibrating violently, and said with a serious face. Although the filthy flames were right in front of him, Shen Fei did not act rashly. After all, things were not completely clear yet, and it was not the last step. Purifying the filthy flames required a ritual.

"If there were other ways, Prometheus would not have come to me."

"Hephaestus is also the god of fire. Doesn't she have any way? Or you can join forces."

Although Hephaestus is the god of forging, she is also the god of fire. The same is true for Gubernyu. There is also Loki. Although she is the god of lies and deception, she is also the god of fire.

"Hephaestus, she does have a way, but that was after I failed. Don't worry, for me, it's just a nap." Hestia said with a smile.

From the perspective of the gods, this is not wrong. Hestia's purification of the filthy flames requires her life. This is not like other gods returning to heaven after death, but similar to the situation of Artemis, the moon goddess in the original book, who needs to be reborn after ten thousand years.

"I don't agree with this, Lord Hestia. I won't stop you from doing this now, but what I want to do next is my own business."

Hestia did not answer Shen Fei's words. At this time, the flames around her had turned into a cocoon, completely wrapping her inside. Shen Fei stared at the cocoon formed by the flames in silence. Illya on the side seemed to want to say something, but in the end she said nothing.

"I am Vesta, the eternal holy fire and the guardian fire."

After a long while, the cocoon formed by the flames suddenly cracked, and a woman with Hestia's appearance but completely different momentum appeared in front of everyone. This is Vesta, the other side of Hestia.

"Looks pretty cool." Looking at the goddess floating in the air in front of him, with flames around her body and long fiery red hair floating behind her, Shen Fei had to admit that Vesta now looked like a real god. Unlike Hestia, Vesta was full of majesty.

"Thank you for your efforts, goddess, but before that, convey the oracle of Lord Prometheus to wipe out Hestia's family." At this time, God Speaker Aton appeared with a large number of Olympian soldiers. After these soldiers appeared, they immediately surrounded Shen Fei.

"Flame Sword, isn't it said that only Epimetheus can use this sword?" Shen Fei didn't care about the soldiers surrounding him. His eyes were on the red sword in the palm of the God Speaker's hand. It was the Flame Sword of Epimetheus he had seen before.

"Impossible, Lord Prometheus, it is impossible to convey such an oracle." When others were shocked by the oracle from the God Speaker's mouth, Illya immediately shouted loudly.

"Do you think I would fake the oracle? All this is for the sake of saving the world. In order to prevent the goddess's followers from interfering with her purification of the filthy flames, her followers must be wiped out."

After the words of the Speaker of the Gods, Eton, except for Illya, the others who had walked together immediately surrounded Shen Fei like the other people in Olympia.

"Interesting, but this is an opportunity." Shen Fei didn't care about the people surrounding him at all. His eyes were always on the flaming sword in Eton's hand.
