Reject me, you damn woman.

Although Lin En's guess was correct, even if the Fire Kings died, they would be reborn because of the secret realm.

However, even for the heroic spirits, "death" is not a wonderful experience.

What's more, if one really dies fighting to the end to protect the secret fire, then it would be a worthwhile and glorious death.

But being hacked to death and then having the secret fire taken away was a truly meaningless death.

Because every Fire King knows in their hearts that they have no chance of winning against Pendragon Norton.

"In that case,"

Rudolph said:

"Let me bear the blame for the theft. You were just forced to do it."

"No, Ancestor Rudolph."

At this time, the Giant King spoke first and interrupted Rudolf.

The wise Heroic King was stunned for a moment, looking at this younger generation who never seemed to disobey him.

"Although you are the most ancient king and our ancestor here, you are not the only one who bears the title of Fire King and Guardian. Therefore, you do not need to bear the infamy alone. We will bear this sin... and shame with you."

The other Fire Kings, including King Eldritch, who hated Dragonborn and had never been kind to Lin En, also nodded.

The oldest Fire King smiled with satisfaction.

His kind eyes swept over all the heroic kings.

Finally, he made up his mind, turned to the two of them, and said seriously:

"Your Highness Lin En, we agree to hand over the secret fire, but we have a few conditions. If you don't agree, then we will all fight to the death. You can take the secret fire, but you have to step over our bones first."

"Go ahead."

Lynn nodded.

Rudolph didn't think too much about it. He just said:

"First of all, the secret fire is only temporarily loaned to you and Her Highness Hedwig to solve your problems temporarily. In the future, you two must select a qualified King of Inherited Flame for Fire Rose to become the next true King of Flame."

"Okay."

"I knew you....Huh?"

Rudolph was stunned for a moment.

"You agreed so easily. Do you really know the nature of the secret fire?"

"Why not agree? Isn't it just a source of essence left by the true God in this world?"

Lynn spread her hands.

"Is it so strange? I am one of the Three Gods' chosen ones. We were just planning to borrow it temporarily."

Isn't it......

Rudolph had never expected this word to be used to describe the secret fire.

Moreover, when these words came out of Lin En's mouth, it was a bit like the secret treasure that his family had guarded for thousands of years was seen as tattered in the eyes of a real rich young man. It was a mixed feeling of pretense...

As for Lynn's incredible statement about being chosen by the three gods, Rudolf just laughed it off, thinking that His Highness was just joking.

"Words are not enough, so please swear an oath."

Rudolph didn't quite believe what Lynn said, and went further.

"It should."

Lynn then nodded happily.

"........"

Now Rudolph had to believe it.

Was Zijinhua so awesome when he died?

Or is it that I am too petty and judge others by my own standards?

Did this prince of the Purple Gold Flower really enter the secret realm just to help his descendants and his country?

The Fire King couldn't help but feel a little self-doubt, but he still had no intention of relaxing.

Because the Heroic Spirit is familiar with the rules and is wise, he has the confidence to draw up a flawless Word Contract without worrying about Lin En finding loopholes.

However, compared to his self-righteous attitude just now, every time the Fire Rose King looked at Lin En, he would feel guilty for deceiving an honest person.

But unfortunately, what the simple Flame King didn't know was,

In fact, in Lin En's mind, he had another plan in mind.

Unless it comes to the last moment, Lin En has no intention of breaking off relations with the Fire Kings.

After all...in the future we might often use their territory to disturb them.

Yes, Lin En still hasn't given up on his plan of letting Lily go to the toilet to chop people, and he has even thought of a solution.

Since I can't teleport directly into the Fire Secret Realm, and the only entrance is between the thrones, can't I just set the space between Fire Rose's thrones as the teleportation entrance?

Easily.

Would the future Fire Rose Emperor agree with what he did? And is he really not curious at all about the secret fire that is known as the legacy of the gods?

The answer to the second question is of course no!

He might even have a chance to talk to a real goddess. A source of essence left behind by a god is definitely an important research material that cannot be missed.

As for the first question, it’s not even a problem in Lin En’s eyes!

Looking at the honest Fire Rose King, who was trying hard to draw up a flawless contract and occasionally cast shameful glances at Lin En because of his harshness, Lin En felt a rare sense of shame in his heart.

I'm sorry,

His Majesty Rudolf.

At present, you two are most likely to become the descendants of the future Queen of Fire Rose.

They seem to

They are all my people...

Chapter 219: I'm sorry Xia

In a short while, the ancient wise king who had personally created the Fire Rose Secret Fire inheritance system had completed the drafting of the contract, and in the presence of the other kings, he signed the contract with Lynn and Hedwig.

The magic contract shattered, scattered into starlight and merged into the void.

"alright,"

The Fire Lord felt relieved.

Even though it didn't take long to draft the contract, it was a contract drawn up by an extremely wise Eight-ringed Heroic Sage with his full thinking power.

The thinking ability of the King of Heroes in one second is equivalent to that of dozens of mortals in their prime who think non-stop for several days and nights.

Of course, nine out of ten of the contents of the contract were to defend against Lynn, and one out of ten was to defend against Hedwig.

But the result is still encouraging.

Rudolph was 100% sure that there was no loophole in this contract and it was absolutely safe!

Then he looked at Lynn and Hedwig:

"The Demon Network has recognized this contract, so now it is our turn to fulfill the agreed part."

The King of Heroes raised his staff and pointed at the altar in the center of the sacrificial field.

Following his action, the four Fire Kings bowed their heads in awe.

In the audience seats of the sacrificial field, the originally roaring and shouting audience members suddenly fell silent. The wandering souls scattered everywhere turned into tiny points of fire, converging towards the center of the altar. Finally, they merged into a ball of quietly burning flame at the core of the altar.

"Is this the secret fire of Fire Rose?"

Lynn looked toward the flame in the center of the altar.

There was no increase in temperature, no magical fluctuations that tore through space. The flame burning quietly in the heart of the altar furnace seemed to be "burning" itself.

"No, this is still just the appearance of guarding the secret fire. The real secret fire is something hidden inside, but I'm sorry I can't tell you."

The Fire King Rudolf shook his head, and the two soul flames full of wisdom turned to Hedwig beside him.

"Come here, kid, your name is Hedwig, right?"

Hedwig stepped forward and nodded slightly.

The Heroic Spirit just stared at the pale silver hair of the Princess:

"Born in a family born of fire, but not blessed by fire, poor child, you must have suffered a lot of grievances over the years, but your eyes are so beautiful and firm, you even did such a disrespectful thing to save it, so how much are you willing to give for this country?"

"everything."

Hedwig whispered.

The Fire King was stunned for a moment, then laughed softly.

Perhaps he was very satisfied with Hedwig's words, or perhaps he had already accepted his fate. The flames of love in the eyes of this former monarch looking at his descendants were once again filled with love. The look in his eyes when he looked at Hedwig was filled with only the love and concern of an ancestor for his descendants:

"Go ahead. Now, the Flame Family's greatest secret treasure, the Secret Fire, belongs to you. Please don't forget your promise and use it properly."

Hedwig nodded, her eyes more determined than ever before:

"I will, I promise."

Rudolf nodded in satisfaction, and under the encouraging gaze of the Fire King, Hedwig stepped forward, and then, as if following her inner guidance, she lightly raised her arm and pointed her slender index finger at the quietly burning torch.

The next moment, the silver-haired princess disappeared out of thin air.

"This is?"

Lynn first glanced at Lily, and after the latter nodded to indicate that Hedwig was not in danger, he looked at the Fire Lords.

"Please be at ease, Prince of Zijinhua,"

Rudolph comforted her.

"This is just the final ritual process. It won't be a problem for people with strong will. You don't have to worry. That child can do it."

“All you have to do now is wait and hope.”

"You seem to have great confidence in Her Highness Hedwig?"

Lynn wondered.

"Yes, because true strength is recognizing the cruelty of this world and still loving it. That child is truly strong in his heart."

The Fire Lord looked towards the quietly burning torch and spoke softly.

Looking at the eyes of the King of Heroes, Lin En began to panic.

Why did this old guy suddenly become so talkative?

"Excuse me, Your Majesty Rudolf. You don't think you have any sudden thoughts of blessing Her Highness Hedwig because you think she is reliable or has excellent qualities, right?"

Lynn asked stiffly.

Rudolph was startled for a moment, then said honestly:

"Your suggestion is very interesting, but I don't actually have this idea. Or rather, because my soul is bound to the Fire Secret Realm, I can't do it."

Lynn breathed a sigh of relief.

That's good, that's good.

Because he was very familiar with the script just now.

The last people who were recognized in this way and then abducted the heroic spirit from the secret realm were Lily and myself.

A good-for-nothing Fan Gu, who couldn't even participate in the king's selection, suddenly wanted to save everyone in his own way. Not only did he counterattack and get the secret fire that only kings were qualified to get their hands on, he was also blessed by the heroic spirits of his ancestors. How could that be possible?

The buffs are stacked so much that they are almost foaming...

Lynn was counting on Hedwig to backstab Historia with him, but she ended up becoming the protagonist first. Wouldn't he then become the clown who got backstabbed?

After quickly taking a look at the system panel and confirming that there was no prompt for the birth of a new protagonist, Lin En quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, after thinking for a while, the King of Heroes did not dwell on Lin En's strange words and deeds for too long and took the initiative to change the subject.
