Chapter 36 Flame

"You can't swear at the characters in the article, damn it!"

Flame, crying and howling accompanied by smoke and hot waves, mixed with a gloomy and terrible rotten smell, seemed to be an expanded bubble. Li Ou felt as if they were trapped in it, more and more unsustainable, almost suffocating. The horn and the scream of the banshee, every whisper of the ghost is more like a life-threatening note than every moment before, and the approaching footsteps of death. They have to go out.

"Leave, leave quickly, leave those monsters alone!" Leo shouted loudly.

He didn't know what happened to the others. The thick black fog blocked his sight, and only the shouts of the Neanders were used as a guide. He greeted the female swordsman beside him, grabbed the bachelor and ran to them.

The howling of the Neanders seemed to have some kind of magic, and the monsters retreated one after another, and they finally had a chance to breathe.

"Miss." Asha shouted with a crying voice in the siege of the guards. As soon as she came into contact with Leo's sight, she buried her head in Naliya's arms like a frightened ostrich. Don't come here, don't come here." She said loudly.

Leo had to stop. No matter how he explained Asha's dream, she was always convinced.

On the other side, the red pigeon Eugene seemed to be stupid as if he were a puppet played with, and his face was motionless. Several times, Li Ou saw that the guards and red robes wanted to secretly throw him down and let him die. He was stimulated, Li Ou knew, but could this be greater than the grief of losing his loved ones? His performance is not even as good as the two little princesses of Prince O'Peren.

Nanta, who was unconscious, was slashed on the arm, and Princess Namelia's back was also hit by the drowned pirate*, dripping with blood. Although the little princess was intact, she was almost scared. Their faces were covered with speckled blood, which looked like ferocious ghosts. Almost all the guards who protected them were injured, and several of them never followed. But they didn't cry. They were silent and followed their footsteps hard.

After a short break, the bodyguard shouted loudly, and they moved forward again. Half of the way, the enemies in front of him are waiting for ease, and mortals and magic seem to be a thick wall that is difficult to knock down. There are still several stone bridges waiting for them to capture. Through the obstruction of the smoke, Leo determined the direction in the flames. He looked around and thought that he didn't know how many of the people who followed them could escape in the end.

There are flames everywhere, screaming monsters, and enemies who rob the palace. They have tried their best to kill the enemy, but there are too few people who can save them. The maids and followers who have no power to bind chickens have already been killed by the enemy and have been bullied. However, they are all mortal bodies, small and incompetent, and there is little they can do to reverse the situation, let alone change the world. Therefore, they should be dragged down by the praise of kindness, which makes them more and more tired, but their destination is farther away. The praise after death is meaningless.

"We can't save everyone." Leo said, "If it goes on like this, it's not just them, but we will die here." He looked back at the female swordsman. She frowned with an obvious dissatisfaction on her face. However, whatever you think, I have to take you back instead of dying in a foreign country for the so-called chivalry.

"Selfish devil!" A bodyguard gasped and cursed.

"Don't forget your top priority at this moment." Leo reminded them, "Princess are your hope."

The guards were silent for a moment and hesitated.

"Uncle Yahan." Princess Namelia said, "Don't worry about us."

However, her words were like a basin of cold water poured on the heart of the captain of the guard. He stood still for a moment and said, "Let's go." He finally made up his mind.

"Captain..."

"Go!" He shouted.

The fire became more and more fierce, and the sea of fire on the dock gradually connected with the flames of the flowing palace. The dark sky is covered with an orange halo, as if it were the end of the world. The reputation of the Thousand Lake City State may cease to exist after tonight. The lake has turned into flames.

Houses collapsed beside them, splashing a string of sparks. Back up, back up!" A bodyguard who fell behind suddenly shouted in horror. A house made a terrible moan before it died. Run, run!" Li Ou and the captain of the guard shouted, "Go back!" The burning stones and beams fell to them like a huge wave, completely swallowing several bodyguards who could not avoid them.

They stood still, but there was no time to mourn for their dead companions, because the collapsed house blocked their way.

"Where should I go?" A red robe asked helplessly.

Ahead is a spreading sea of fire. The flame is like an endless greedy monster, sticking out its tongue and licking the corners of its mouth. It opened its mouth and vowed to swallow them all. Everyone is nervous and doesn't know what to do. Leo and their monsters may catch up again at any time, but it is obviously not wise to place their hopes on the depressed Neanderno. Under the light of fire, everyone's face was full of despair.

"We have to take a long detour." The captain of the guard said with difficulty.

However, a sudden loud noise completely swallowed up the sound of his pointing the way.

The alchemist looked back in horror, and the flowing palace seemed to be the last iceberg to collapse in the flames of the sky. A tower was cut off from the middle, splashing Mars like falling into the water; the roof of the round house also fell down a moment later, and then the blackened white stones collapsed one after another, and even the strongest castle could not withstand the fire, melting, crystallizing and collapsing in the flames. The heat wave mixed with dust seemed to be a surging tide, pushing the bell in the bell tower in the distance to ring the deathary bell announcing the prince's death.

"Father, father..." Princess Namelia whispered painfully, and tears welled out.

The little princess asked uneasily, "Sister, won't your father come?"

"The gods summoned him and went away." She hugged her sister tightly.

Liou sighed. The prince taught him many things, and each of them benefited him a lot. However, this is not the time to be sad. The whole palace is about to be swallowed up by flames and ghosts. Go! Get out of here!" The knight and the Neanders obeyed his orders, but the Valians did not move. Do you want to die? Mr. Captain! Fuck, talk! Move!"

The team was silent for a moment, and suddenly a man raised his arm and shouted, "Revenge for the prince."

After a brief silence, countless arms were raised. Revenge for the prince!" They responded with one voice and shouted loudly.

What the hell! Have you forgotten how the prince begged you? You are disobeying the order!" He pulled the captain of the guard hard. Say something, don't be stunned here, let them go, and still want to go back to die? Do you still think that there are not enough people to die?"

"No!" The captain of the guard shook off his hand. He tore off the cloth hanging from his right hand and threw it on the ground.

He is crazy.

"You must come with me." Leo looked directly at each other.

Yahan's breathing was cloudy, "Fuck you."

"Get out of here, white devil, what right do you have to dictate!" The guards cursed loudly. We want revenge and let the white devils be buried with the prince!" Some people raised their weapons, turned around feverishly and rushed back.

"Fuck them back!" Li Ou shouted at the captain of the guard, "Listen to it. The death knell has rang. What's the point of doing this? Didn't you obey orders? The prince's last order is for you to escort the princess out of here! Instead of taking them to death. Let's see how those maids died along the way? Do you want the princess to become like that and be humiliated?

"Shut up!" The captain of the guard shouted, "Shut up!"

Li Ou is also unwilling to show weakness. His throat is about to rot. I shut up and you come with us!" It's crazy, he thought, but it's better to be crazy than to fail. Failure means death and shame. Otherwise, you will die and the princess will give it to us. We did better than you!"

"It's not your turn to do it!"

"Because you can't do it!" He said, "You say we are the devil, the devil is treacherous, and the devil is selfish, but what more do you have than us?"

This was a great humiliation for the captain of the bodyguard. He waved the axe and brought a fierce wind, and the hot axe blade stopped at the alchemist's neck. Then how do you say we should go?" He said sullenly, "The front is a sea of fire, and the back is also a flame. We can't leave. I can't let everyone be buried in the fire. Instead of this, it's better to avenge the prince and kill one!"

The captain of the bodyguard has been relieved, and the Vallians are silent. He caught them with words. We keep our promises and defend our glory, and you should all do the same. Otherwise, you will think that you are not as good as the white devil. A group of fearless believers are not as good as a few selfish and unbelievers.

However, about the fire in front of him... Leo found early in the morning that both the bodyguards and their captains were deliberately choosing the road without fire with fear. If it hadn't been for the responsibility, they would have jumped into the water. They live on water and they are afraid of fire. Leo realized. He has to find a way to get through the sea of fire in the way.

He touched the leather bag, which contained several potions, but it was obviously not enough to dispel the flames. Mr. Ansiel, I need your help. After getting the affirmative reply, he pulled out a potion. However, he knew that their chances were very small, and this was their only chance.

"I won't shout long live the prince. He's dead. I won't shout the names of the gods. I don't believe in them. He told them, "So the flames will kill me, just as you once punished the wizard. I, the white devil, am not afraid of flames. What are you afraid of? My duty is to take my people away, and your duty is to take the princess away. Come with me and jump over this flame!!"

Li Ou twisted the mechanism, and the two separated components quickly mixed. The thick bottle trembled in his hand, and he threw the bottle out high. The ice-blue light bloomed in the air, and the light arrow of the magic consultant accurately hit the medicine bottle. The cold mist instantly bloomed like a frozen epilebula in the air, and then quickly turned into a white and blue fog. A sudden wind blew it to the sea of fire in front of them.

Time seemed to slow down, and the layer of silky fog froze the flames and solidified it into a mass of ice.

"It's now!" Li Ou shouted, "Come with me!" He dragged Miss Bachelor and the female swordsman to the frozen flame first. He knows better than anyone that a little hesitation is enough to kill them.

The crystalline ground under their feet suddenly shattered like a spider's web, and the cracks spread like dominoes, and everything around them poured and shattered in destruction. The burning building left behind them had already turned into ice crystal fragments, and at this time, the stone bridge under their feet gradually began to turn into fragments and collapse down. In half a minute, Li Omer calculated the time, and they were enough to pass through the stone bridge, but what about the others?

He thought they followed, but he never dared to look back.
