Reject me, you damn woman.

Now, even the Giant King could no longer make any excuses for the two of them.

He could already hear the seriousness of the matter from Rudolph's tone.

This easy-going former king had never spoken to me in such a commanding tone before, not even once!

Hedwig's face was as pale as paper. She exchanged glances with Lin En and saw a flash of determination in the latter's eyes. Lin En was confident that if the two of them ran away now, even the heroic spirits would not be able to stop them!

Because he still has a trump card that is enough to restrict the entire game and has not been used!

A hint of struggle flashed across Hedwig's face, but she still stood in front of Lynn, deciding to make one last effort and try to explain to the former kings.

If she remembered correctly, His Majesty Eldritch's psychic ability seemed to be...

"My dear predecessors, please listen to my explanation!"

"You still have to quibble!"

Eldridge shouted, interrupting the silver-haired princess. The soul fire in his eyes condensed into two points, glaring at Hedwig:

"And you, do you know what you are doing? A descendant of Bayer, a legitimate future successor of Bayer, actually leads other hybrids into the Trial of Fire?"

He suddenly sneered,

"No, it should be said that your legitimate identity is also in doubt. Speaking of which, you seem to be very anxious to take away the secret fire. Let me guess, you are not the master of the Bayer bloodline in this world at all?"

The voice of the King of Heroes grew louder and louder. His robes grew and spread out wantonly, as if a demon had spread its wings, wanting to devour the girl in front of him. His voice was cruel, like the roar of a hoarse demon snake. Under his control, the captivating mind magic and the torture aura destroyed the princess' spirit:

"Let me reveal your identities, you two shameless fire thieves!"

"Tell me quickly, what is your purpose in stealing the secret fire?"

"It's to save Fire Rose!"

Hedwig answered loudly.

The King of Heroes was stunned for a moment, because after Hedwig opened his mouth, the crystal ball in his hand suddenly flashed, and the torture aura was shattered.

The weak princess barely raised her head, saw the result through the gaps in her hair, and then smiled.

She knew she made the right bet.

The 28th Fire Rose King, Eldrich, couldn't help himself and used his own rare item.

Flame Devourer Eldritch, his most powerful item is called "Eye of Truth".

One of the abilities of this strange object is to interrogate the soul of the person it targets.

During torture, the victim's soul will directly suffer the pain of being whipped, ignoring defense and soul strength.

But the side effect of this strange object is that if the victim tells the truth, the torture aura will be broken immediately.

And she had told the truth, at least, the truth that Hedwig knew.

For this reason, the previous kings have been shaken for a moment, and now they just need to take advantage of the situation...

Suddenly, a sneer sounded, interrupting all of Hedwig's thoughts.

"so what?"

Eldridge's light mocking voice sounded.

Hedwig raised her head in confusion, looking at Eldridge who had a look of disdain in his eyes, and the other indifferent heroic spirits of the Fire King.

"We may have been the kings of Fire Rose when we were alive, but now, the people we knew, the citizens we protected, and the other things we wanted to protect are all dead. Our duty now is only to protect the secret fire. Saving the country is not enough reason for you to come and steal the fire."

Eldridge said coldly, looking down on others:

"Besides, how can you make us, the guardians, believe the words of two thieves and liars?"

boom!

Hedwig felt something explode in her mind.

Eldridge's twisted logic was disgusting, and everyone could see that it was just an excuse for him to cause trouble for Lynn and himself.

But what really made Hedwig despair was the indifference and indifference in the eyes of the kings.

It seemed that what Eldridge said was correct.

That was a reality she didn't want to face, but it was indeed the reality.

That is the "wear and tear" of the kings!

Feelings, beliefs, perseverance, and responsibility, even a hero who has transformed into a heroic spirit must gradually lose most of these things in the erosion of time, and only the most solid ones can be preserved.

And in this Fire Secret Realm, these Heroic Kings who exist because of the secret realm... They are incomplete Heroic Kings, but they have to endure complete wear and tear.

In the midst of these wear and tear, they have long since faded many of their emotions, and now they are no longer the "kings" who would sacrifice their lives without hesitation for the survival of the Fire Rose.

They are the "heroic spirits" who guard the secret fire.

To them, what Eldridge said was probably taken for granted. Perhaps even the kings themselves did not realize that guarding the "Secret Fire" was even more important than guarding the "Fire Rose".

The one who suffered the least wear and tear was Eldritch Bayer, who eventually became the King of Heroes.

But his heart was filled with hatred for the purple gold flower and the dragonborn!

In other words, it was Eldridge who led to this scene.

After figuring it all out, Hedwig didn't say anything else.

It's not because of powerlessness or numbness, but because of anger.

Because she was talking to the Fire Rose Kings who were guarding the Secret Fire, not the Secret Fire's guardian machines, or the venomous snakes who only thought about revenge!

They are the ones who are not qualified to talk to me!

Until the golden sword blade cut off the invisible mental shackles that bound her.

Then, a huge feeling of despair and guilt rose in the princess' heart.

She was a little afraid to face the person beside her who could have escaped but was now dragged down by her.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness Lynn."

Hedwig apologized hoarsely.

"It's okay, it's just a little troublesome, but I've already told you not to waste time trying to deal with these guys, just let me do it."

Lin En supported Hedwig, while the princess lowered her head deeply, as if she was afraid to face Lin En.

Eldrich smiled coldly. He thought that this arrogant boy was simply crazy. He felt that he was really great just because he defeated the kings who suppressed his strength.

"So, Dragonborn, do you think you can convince us?"

Eldridge scoffed.

Seeing Linn raising his sword to resist, Rudolph frowned slightly, but he didn't get angry:

"Give up resistance, descendants of the Purple Gold Flower. You must be punished. This is the rule. However, your efforts will not be in vain. We will allow the true Fire Rose King to obtain the secret fire more quickly to resolve your crisis."

"This is a secret realm of immortal warriors that can unleash the full power of heroic spirits. You don't stand a chance."

The giant king Youmu, who had been standing by Lin En and the others, could only reluctantly offer his consolation.

Lin En just shook his head:

"You are just a few machines that can only guard the secret fire. You have forgotten who you are. I am too lazy to reason with you. You don't deserve to listen."

But after hearing the words of the Giant King, his eyebrows raised slightly, and his left hand, which was originally reaching for a storage ring, pressed on the back of his right hand.

“But, Wang Youmu, you just said that this is a secret place where the full power of the Heroic Spirit can be unleashed, right?”

"So, how long are you going to sleep?"

The first sentence was addressed to the Giant King, but the second sentence was obviously not.

At this moment, all the Heroic Kings felt a huge palpitation and instantly entered an armed state. Two of them gathered their magic power and tried to launch a fatal attack on Lin En!

But, it's too late.

A golden light that is purer, hotter, and brighter than those of the Heroic Kings who were born in the secret realm condensed behind Lin En, like a greedy golden black hole, madly extracting the magic power in the secret realm at a terrifying speed.

The golden figure appeared out of nowhere, she ignored the attacks of the two heroes, and instead stretched out a hand and gently placed it on Lin En's shoulder.

The magic power gathered, and the vortex storm it created blew away her hair, revealing a face that was more beautiful and vivid than all the Heroic Spirit Kings of the Fire Rose, but also much more arrogant:

"Substitute!"

Lily held the sword with one hand, her smile wild and arrogant.

........

ps: Oh, last night's game gave me mixed feelings. I didn't expect that when I was in elementary school, the final boss of the S game was Faker. Now that I'm about to graduate from college, the highest mountain is still that one.

However, this result was also expected. There was nothing to blame for the fourth seed. After all, as Wang Duoduo said, a butterfly cannot fly across the ocean, so who could bear to blame?

I can only say that I hope lpl will get better and better.

By the way, you know, lol is not fun. The author is a farmer for ten years.

Chapter 217: Ancestor, please kneel down first and ask for a favor

The soul fire flickered in the eyes of the oldest fire king Rudolf, and for the first time he showed a look of loss of composure.

"Who is this soul fluctuation?!"

To the wise and ancient king, both his memories and the detection of the magical essence told him that he had never seen the heroic spirit of the young girl before him.

But the soul of the Heroic King trembled unconsciously, because just by relying on the unruly momentum, the arrogant attitude and the terrifying brilliance that was almost as dazzling as the sun on the battlefield, he unconsciously connected the heroic girl in front of him with another legend in his memory.

A legend that was legendary even in their time!

However, Lily did not respond to the King of Heroic Spirits. She did not even look directly at any of the five former Fire Kings in front of her. Instead, she placed the heavy sword on her shoulder and turned to look at Lynn who was supporting Hedwig, with a teasing look in her eyes:

"Well done, kid. You finally got into some trouble that's good enough for me to stretch myself."

Lynn simply nodded to Lily, then turned back to check Hedwig's injuries.

"These guys are all original heroic spirits too, so don't try to be tough if they need help."

"That's not necessary,"

Lily turned around and stood in front of the two of them, with the corners of her lips raised in a disdainful smile:

"I am already a complete heroic spirit, capable of judging these scumbags."

Rudolf was even more certain that this statement must be......

"Wait a moment!"

The King of Heroes' face suddenly changed, but it was too late.

At this moment, the two Heroic Kings launched an all-out attack on this newly appeared invader without hesitation!

A torrent of black flames descended from the sky at this moment!

It was as if an inky black waterfall was hanging upside down from the sky, and the temperature in the entire sacrificial site suddenly rose.

"That is the Devouring Fire that our ancestor Eldritch possessed. Once you are contaminated by this fire, the burning will not stop until you are burned to ashes!"

Hedwig hastily reminded.

When facing Lynn and Hedwig, the Heroic Kings had to be reserved, fearing that they would accidentally kill their opponents. But when facing this uninvited invader, the Heroic Kings did not need to hold back at all!

However, after giving the warning, Hedwig was stunned for a moment. Then, she looked at Lin En, who was sitting there calmly drinking medicine, and was stunned for a moment:

"Your Highness Lin En, aren't you worried?"

"Oh, that's right,"

Lin En thought for a moment and shouted to the front:

"Don't really kill him!"

A question mark appeared above Hedwig's head.

Is it too late to beg for mercy from the Heroic Kings now?

However, she misunderstood the person Lin En was asking for.

"Huh, that's a lot to ask."

Lily let out a light cry and swung her sword casually. A dazzling glow suddenly rose with her as the center, like light shining into the darkness, reefs fixed in the deep sea, forcing the black flames to turn back and roll over.

The Fire Lord Eldritch's blurred figure was looming in the air, and his eyes glaring at Lily were filled with naked hatred and a triumphant smile.
