Reject me, you damn woman.

"According to my judgment, Bayer's secret fire is in a secret place. Those who guard the secret fire are all old guys who should have died long ago. If I fight them there in their prime, it will be very troublesome for me. You know I hate those dead things the most."

"Well, that's it,"

The worm of destiny answered,

"Your ability is more effective on living people, so do you need help?"

"unnecessary,"

The black-robed man rejected it outright.

"The script has been written, and everything is going according to the plot. It won't be long before I get Bayer's secret fire."

The Destiny Bug closed his eyes, nodded in agreement, and counted down at the same time.

This was the second time that the man in black robe explicitly rejected his own prophecy.

Now, he has one last chance to refuse his help.

However, as he had the ability to peek into fate, he knew that what the man in black robe said was true.

He was indeed very close to obtaining the secret fire.

Although, when the man in black robe said this, the part of his fate that represented "death" came closer.

The best way now is for the Worm of Destiny to immediately divine the source of the black-robed man's death and help him to divine how to avoid it. However, since the other party is very resistant to prophecy, the Worm of Destiny is not in a hurry to tell him.

Then he said:

"Mate, you haven't forgotten the prophecy of destruction, have you?"

"of course not."

The black-robed man said calmly,

"Besides, there's no need for you to rush, right?"

That was the special "prophecy" at the beginning, which was discussed and decided in the Twelve Rings and then passed by the two sages.

After obtaining the secret fire and awakening the third sage whose fate is connected to it.

Fire Rose, a rebellious country that is just like the Purple Gold Flower, cherishes its own possessions and refuses to bow to the Magic Bell Tower. Its capital, Rose City with a population of 1.65 million, will be wiped out as a punishment for its refusal to hand over the secret fire sixteen years ago.

as well as,

As a tribute to the returning Lord of the Magic Bell Tower,

Praise.

No one can stop this future from coming.

Because, to be precise, after the two sages passed it, the destruction of Rose City was no longer a prophecy, but a destiny that was destined to come.

"That's right."

The Destiny Bug nodded slightly, and then, as if he suddenly remembered something:

"Ah, yes, buddy, let me give you a piece of advice, be careful about that in your destiny..."

puff!

The beggar's remaining head revealed a depressed expression. Just like last time, his body suddenly shattered and turned into red paint, spraying on the walls of the corridor.

The man in black robes, sitting in the black robe "army" between the thrones, slowly withdrew his hand.

"Next time, change to a better-looking skin."

At the same time, he slowly lowered his head and murmured in a low voice:

"It's almost there, it's almost there......"

.........

It's a new day, the sun is shining brightly.

The morning light shone on the courtyard of Historia's palace. While everyone was still asleep, Historia slyly opened the door of Lynn's room and tiptoed like a cat, wanting to return to his room.

"Shia?"

Suddenly, Elena's voice called out from the first floor.

"Xiao, Xiao Ai, why are you up so early?!"

Historia was shocked.

"Make breakfast,"

Elena sighed.

"Besides, this is just your impression of early, right? The head maid and the others have already gone out a long time ago."

"Oh, is that so?"

Historia spoke with a guilty conscience, her hand unconsciously placed on her neck, the only part exposed to the air that was not covered by her pajamas, as if she was hiding something.

However, this behavior aroused Elena's curiosity:

"Hey, why is your neck red? It looks a bit like..."

Finished!

Historia wailed in her heart, she was about to be discovered by Xiao Ai!

I told you to keep it a secret from Xiao Ai, so you can’t leave it around your neck…

"It's a scratch."

At this moment, Lynn, already fully dressed, walked out of the room.

"Ah, yes, scratches!"

Historia hardened her heart and used her nails to draw a red mark on the white neck to cover up the kiss mark that was left accidentally.

"When I was tutoring Historia-sama yesterday, the questions I asked were too difficult. She was a little confused and accidentally scratched her neck."

Lin En said calmly, while giving Historia a look:

"Right, Historia-sama?"

"Yep!"

Historia had no choice but to nod helplessly.

In a sense, if we didn’t force her to wear very cool clothes and do some practical exercises, Lin En was really tutoring her in biology last night…

When thinking about last night, Historia's cheeks became hot unconsciously.

No, but it’s not because of love or any other reasons. I just want to repay Lin En for his help during this period of time!

Moreover, because Lin En also helped with biology lessons, the amount of favors I had to repay increased...that was all!

Elena nodded suspiciously. Although she vaguely felt that something was wrong, she really had no concrete evidence.

But after noticing what Lin En was wearing, Elena tilted her head and said:

"Student Lin, are you going out so early?"

"um, yes."

Lynn nodded.

In fact, three days have passed since the Heart of Fire was found.

Originally, Lynn was going to look for Hedwig right away, after all, the longer the night the more trouble that would cause.

But the other party said that some preparatory work needed to be done, so the two decided to set aside three days for a buffer period, and today happened to be the time for them to meet up.

"I see. Then, be careful on the road."

Elena said, walked forward, helped Lin En straighten his collar, and at the same time, took the opportunity to gently rub his cheek.

Elena's face had already turned red when she did this.

Something was wrong between the two friends and made the girl a little jealous, so she couldn't help but do this somewhat overstepping behavior. At the same time, Elena glanced at Historia, but found that her friend was just standing there stupidly, not looking jealous or confused at all, which made Elena a little confused and relieved.

Is Shia already so mature?

"Well, don't worry, I will."

Lynn nodded, rubbed the girl's head, left the villa, and got on the Shadow Knight's carriage that had been waiting for a long time.

The carriage passed through the streets of Rose City and soon arrived at the gate of the palace.

This time, the palace gate was still wide open and there was no guard. But Lin En didn't have to worry about any icicles suddenly stabbing at him.

The cold and arrogant ice-blue arcanist hovered above the palace wall and nodded at Lin En who was leaning out of the carriage and looking over.

"During this period of time, you haven't done anything extra, right?"

Lynn asked through her mouth.

The court arcanist closed his eyes slightly and recalled what he had done in the past three days.

Thanks to the reputation of the Ilet family, during these three days, the attitude of most of the nobles in the royal capital towards Lin En changed from hostility and vigilance to being more friendly and wait-and-see. Even the second prince Rosslet agreed to a temporary truce.

The Fourth Prince Berens himself did have some complaints about these things, but no one listened to his opinions.

The only drawback is that few people believe what Alijia said, that Lin En might be the key person to save the Fire Rose.

There was also the most powerful lord among the court arcanists, whose attitude was somewhat unclear.

There is actually nothing that can be done about this, because even the arcanist who made this prophecy is a little unsure, let alone producing evidence.

However, if she investigates further, Ailijia is afraid that Lynn and Hedwig will do the "wrong" thing, which will affect her judgment.

Therefore, she just mouthed coldly:

"Everything I did in these three days was not redundant."

She only hated that she hadn't done enough and that there were still people who might get in the way of Lynn and Hedwig.

That cold attitude was not directed at Lin En, but at himself who was useless.

Lynn nodded.

Seeing that Ailijia looked regretful, she must be very unhappy with me, so I felt relieved.

As usual, the carriage stopped at the gate of the palace. Lin En walked into the palace. Inside the throne room, the silver-haired princess had been waiting for a long time.

"You're here."

After seeing Lynn coming, Hedwig said with a smile.

"Well, I brought the Heart of Fire with me too."

Lynn took off the storage ring in his hand, injected magic power into it, and handed it to Hedwig.

With the help of Lin En's remaining magic power, the silver-haired princess successfully took out the precious jade fire heart.

It is called a precious jade, but in fact, it is more like a dense collection of stones.

From the surface, the Heart of Fire looks like a ruby ​​as big as an adult's fist.

Highly skilled craftsmen have carved each of its faces into smooth and perfect hexahedrons, which are eye-catching and gorgeous.

If you look closely, you will find that countless intricate and ancient array patterns are drawn on each side of the Fire Heart jade. This jade is both the top-grade core material of the array and the core of the array itself.

When it was unfolded, it looked like dozens of huge magic circles between the thrones.

The core of the overlapping magic circles is the throne that symbolizes the supreme royal power of Fire Rose, and the vacant space in the center and the highest point of the throne was originally inlaid with the Heart of Fire gem.

"If we put this thing on the throne, can we obtain the secret fire?"

Lynn asked.

"It's not that simple."

Hedwig smiled and shook her head.

"Before the Heart of Fire was stolen, it was embedded in the throne. But no one except His Majesty the Emperor has ever seen Bayer's secret fire. Even I can only guess, but it shouldn't be too far off."

"So, what's your guess?"

Lynn asked.

Hedwig explained:

"The secret fire is a fire that cannot be observed by anyone other than Emperor Bayer. I have read some ancient books and observed those arcane magic arrays. Combined with the fact that the succession ceremony must be performed between the thrones, I speculate that the secret fire should not be in the real plane, but stored in a secret realm. The throne is actually the secret method to open the secret realm."
