Reject me, you damn woman.

Lin En took a look at the magic stones piled up like a hill between the thrones. Now the function of the magic stones was explained.

At this point, Hedwig smiled softly, showing a rare shy expression:

"In previous years, the Fire Transmission Ceremony would have a shielding barrier, but we are doing it secretly. I'm sorry, I can't and can't prepare these. The noise may be a bit loud, so please be patient."

Lin En nodded, thinking to himself, how powerful can a formation be... What the hell?!

After seeing Lin En nod, Hedwig gently pushed with her slender fingers and embedded the Heart of Fire into it.

Then, in Lin En's incredulous eyes, a dazzling light suddenly lit up, instantly engulfing the two of them, and then went straight into the sky, with the imperial palace as the center, covering half of the Rose City.

On top of the palace, the ice-blue female arcanist's expression slowly changed from arrogance to shock, and she looked up.

"No way, they actually..."

In an inconspicuous corner of Rose City, a little girl with white hair and red eyes was kicking stones barefoot. Suddenly, she looked up at the sky, and the fiery red sky was reflected in her red eyes:

"Well done, my great partner, you actually did it!"

At the same time, she uttered a slight "eh" sound.

Because, the fate of his companions, who were destined to die, suddenly experienced some degree of... deflection? !

"All right,"

She whispered to herself,

"Now it's time for me to do something."

In the Ilett family's mansion, the fourth prince and the second prince, Berens and Roslet, who were sitting opposite each other, slammed the table and stood up at the same time, looking at the red beam of light in the sky with an expression of disbelief, and said angrily:

"Fuck, how dare they do that? This is blasphemy, usurpation, and treason!"

"Well, stop shouting, everyone has seen it,"

The voice of Princess Hilteria was heard from the magic screen nearby.

"That is the light of the Fire Transmission Ceremony. The test of the King's Secret Fire... has been initiated."

At this moment, she became unusually calm.

"You two damn guys, how dare you!"

........

Inside the palace, between the thrones.

"Last chance, Your Highness Lynn."

Hedwig turned around, her beautiful face full of seriousness:

"You now have one last chance to quit. For Xia, you don't have to do this."

"That's not necessary."

Lin En came back to his senses and shook his head.

"Don't get me wrong. I'm not concerned about you. Since this is a secret place, there should be guardians or tests. If I don't go in, you will fail if you go in alone, and our efforts will be in vain. Besides, unless I cut off your head and give it to other guys, I will not be forgiven."

"That's true."

Hedwig chuckled.

From now on, the two of them are like the only companions who can watch over and help each other on the road of treason against the world.

Come to think of it...it's a bit romantic.

The light spread, gradually engulfing the two people in the hall.

"Your Highness Lin En, can you hear me?"

Chapter 214: Give the primitive old thing a little scientific shock!

"Your Highness Lin En, are you okay?"

Seeing the princess coming very close, the two of them looked at each other and Lin En nodded slowly.

Hedwig was visibly relieved when she saw Lynn wake up.

No outsider has ever been able to enter the secret realm of the Bayer family. As the only exception, Hedwig is not sure whether Lynn's coma is normal.

She hesitated whether to give artificial respiration to the prince. If Lin En had not woken up in time, it would have been embarrassing.

"I'm fine,"

Lin En stood up and dusted himself off.

"It seems that we have left the throne room. Is this the secret place where the secret fire is hidden?"

"You'd better see for yourself."

Hedwig nodded and moved away, and then this huge, impactful secret world came into view.

What appeared before Lin En was not so much a secret place as it was an abandoned ancient field.

This is a Roman-style circular building as big as a football field. It is bleak and dilapidated, with traces of charred fire everywhere. There are stepped auditoriums on three sides, and the highest point is soaring into the sky.

It reminds people of the ancient Roman Colosseum in its heyday, with thousands of spectators roaring in the stands as they watched the beasts and warriors in the center fight and roar with each other.

But standing in the center of the sacrificial field at this moment were not gladiators and ferocious beasts, but Lynn and Hedwig.

Lynn looked at the only different wall, where five huge, tightly closed black gates were located, each with a complex fire emblem painted on it.

Some of them resemble today's Fire Rose family emblem, but they are slightly different.

On the gate closest to the two of them, there was a line of dark secret text engraved.

"Does Her Highness Hedwig recognize this kind of writing?"

After failing to identify, Lin En turned to look at the princess beside him.

"This is the ancient Fire Rose script,"

Hedwig nodded, stroked the line of text, and gently read out the secret text on it.

"It means - with the blood of Byr."

And at the moment when the secret text was recited, the changes in the secret realm began!

In the originally empty auditorium, virtual images of audiences suddenly appeared one after another. Then, as if a torch was lit, more and more virtual lines appeared. These audiences made up of spirits filled the auditorium in an instant, waving their arms and roaring like real people.

The wild cheers shook the eardrums of the two people, and the first gate also began to tremble. The machinery that had been completely rusted and corrupted suddenly began to work miraculously. Amidst the terrible sound that made people's teeth ache, the gate weighing tens of thousands of pounds was actually slowly rising!

"Foolish mortals who desire the secret fire and thus disturb the eternal sleep of heroic spirits,"

A grand and majestic voice came out from the gap in the gate along with the strong wind. A three-meter-tall golden giant wearing heavy armor walked out from behind the gate. His majestic eyes swept across the whole place and finally locked onto the two of them:

"Die, or give your name."

Lynn stretched out his hand to shield Hedwig from the heat and sand, while staring at the golden giant that appeared before him.

He was too familiar with that golden color and aura. This was actually... a heroic spirit!

And just like Lily, he was born on his own without any blessing from the gods, an original heroic spirit!

Could it be possible that the storm and air waves created by its appearance alone could blow the two away?...

However, at this moment, Lin En felt a somewhat cold little hand holding his arm. He turned his head and saw the silver-haired princess, who could barely stand under his protection, pushing his arm away.

Then, this delicate, pale and frail princess, braving the strong wind and air waves that were terrifying to mortals, stepped forward with only her arms to protect her eyes.

"I am,"

She called out her name loudly.

"The Fire Rose Empire, the Flame Family, the 27th eldest daughter of Bayer, Hedwig Bayer!"

"Great Heroic Spirit, I ask you for the Trial of Fire!"

As she moved forward, the gravel, which had become as hard as arrows, scratched her cheeks, arms, and dress, but Hedwig still went against the wind, gradually approaching the huge Heroic Titan.

Just when Lin En almost couldn't help but do something, the strong wind and heat wave caused by the appearance of the heroic spirit gradually disappeared.

"Hedwige Bayer, I see... Has Bayer's blood deteriorated to this extent?"

The huge golden giant muttered to himself. Under the gap of his helmet, two eyes like golden lights narrowed, and he looked at the breathless girl in front of him who had just burst out with a frightening courage:

"However, you weak mortal, do not seem to be able to withstand the test of fire."

Despite this, the arrogance in his tone did not fade away, but instead became even more disdainful and disappointed.

The blush on Hedwig's face faded and turned paler. She seemed to want to explain something, but walking against the storm had almost exhausted her strength. The silver-haired princess didn't even have the strength to stand.

At this moment, a strong arm suddenly came from the side to support Hedwig.

"It is indeed not convenient for her to accept the trial,"

Lin En stood beside Hedwig and calmly accepted the princess's grateful look:

"I am her agent."

"You? A mere fourth-ringed arcanist as her agent?"

The Heroic Giant looked at Lin En, instantly saw through Lin En's rank, and revealed an almost mocking expression.

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

This bet was a winner.

The Emperor of Fire Rose is different from that of Purple Gold Flower. The bloodline of the Flame Family can only allow all of them to awaken the arcane talent of fire, but how it specifically varies from person to person. It is impossible for all emperors to have the strength to challenge the Heroic Spirits alone. There must be a way of passing the trial similar to the duel agent.

But Ying Ling's attitude still made Lin En raise his eyebrows, and he asked back:

"Yes, it's me, the Fourth Ring. Is that not possible? No matter who it is, as long as they come here and pass the Trial of Fire and defeat you, they can take the Secret Fire away, right?"

"is it not OK?"

The Heroic Giant repeated Lin En's words and suddenly burst into laughter. His laughter even drowned out the cheers of countless wandering souls in the audience, forcing all the wandering souls to cover their ears in pain.

"Of course you can, little mortal, but you don't seem to understand the true nature of the Trial of Fire. I will grant you this. Please tell me my name. I am the 22nd emperor of the Fire Rose Empire, Giant Flame Yum Bayer."

The storm arose again, but this time, it was not the heroic spirits who were spreading their pressure indiscriminately, but releasing it.

As the suffocating pressure was released, the size of the heroic spirit became smaller and smaller, gradually changing from a giant more than three meters tall to a normal size. Its strength also dropped from the unfathomable level that Lin En could not observe to the fourth ring level - and it was the initial stage of the fourth ring.

"At the same time, as a mercy to you,"

The hero then slowly continued:

"I will lower my strength and status to a level that you can understand, and then crush you completely."

When Hedwig heard the Heroic Spirit announce her name, her expression changed obviously. Although Lin En had no idea, he could sense something from the changes in the silver-haired princess's expression.

It is obvious that this heroic spirit who introduced himself is worthy of the heroic achievement and a powerful king with a great reputation even in the brilliant history of Fire Rose.

Hedwig's clenched fists slowly loosened a little.

It was shocking enough to learn that she had to challenge an original heroic spirit head-on in order to take the secret fire away. But when the other party casually revealed his real name, Hedwig almost despaired.

It’s not that Hedwig is worried about Lynn.

Since she had chosen the Purple Gold Flower Prince to be her duel agent, Hedwig must have complete trust in him.

However, no matter how much she believed in Lin En, she really couldn't imagine how Lin En could win against this legendary emperor in his prime who possessed both the blood of Bayer and the blood of the giant.

But, if it is also the fourth ring, maybe with the help of His Highness Lin En, he can really...

After seeing Hedwig relax, the Giant Heroic Spirit smiled playfully as if he had expected it:

"Well, if you are ready, let's get started quickly. After all, after defeating me - if you can defeat me, you still have four more trials to go through."

"Four games?!"

Hedwig looked at the four gates that were still closing behind the giant hero, her face grim:

"What do you mean?"

"Isn't it obvious?"

The person Hedwig explained to was actually Lynn.

Although he had no idea how Fire Rose did it, nor did he understand why the heroic spirit in front of him could fully display its true strength without a host, Lin En still understood the current situation.

It is still a bit difficult to make these old things drop gold coins.

"There are four more gates here. We are not going to fight a boss battle, but a series of boss battles. The one in front of me should be the weakest among the five Secret Fire Guardians. I am ready and can start at any time."
