Crystal Palace from Infinite Anime

She has always been a girl like a piece of wood.

Are there times when you feel wronged?

"You don't have to look for me anymore, I'm your Fire Girl!"

Suddenly, Melina raised her head again and looked at Lin Zhiyu with a firm gaze.

Lin Zhiyu blinked, looked at the flaming pot under his feet, and then decisively turned towards the direction of the Yatan Plateau.

"Then I'd better consider seeking the Mad Fire!"

Do not……!

At this time, Melina subconsciously wanted to grab Lin Zhiyu's hand.

Lin Zhiyu was worried that if he came into contact with her at this time, he would faint inexplicably like the Fader in the game, and then no one would be able to stop Melina from self-immolating - this was not acceptable!

So Lin Zhiyu took a step back, dodged Melina's hand, and said to Melina with a chuckle:

"Didn't I just tell you? Even if I had a fire girl by my side, I wouldn't let her sacrifice her life to reignite this cauldron of fire. Believe me, no real man would let his woman sacrifice herself for him."

"No, I'm not doing this for anyone. This is purely my own wish!" Melina bit her lip, looking at Lin Zhiyu with a mixture of grievance and confusion. First, she didn't understand why Lin Zhiyu could still smile at this moment, and second, she didn't understand why Lin Zhiyu would stop at this point. Isn't the throne attractive?

If Melina really asked Lin Zhiyu this.

Then Lin Zhiyu would definitely tell her: "No, the throne is fragrant, but it is not as fragrant as you."

Now, even though Melina has explained to Lin Zhiyu, all this is her own wish.

But Lin Zhiyu still refused to cooperate and just confronted Melina silently.

"Please... just think of it as doing it for the world..." Melina lowered her head again, not letting Lin Zhiyu see the tears flickering in her eyes, but the hint of crying in her words had already exposed her anxiety.

Listening to the cry in the girl's voice.

Finally, Lin Zhiyu restrained the smile on his face and his expression began to become serious.

Then Melina felt that her surroundings suddenly became much warmer.

...Lin Zhiyu placed his palm in front of Melina's belly. Melina, who was looking down at this moment, immediately saw the fire in Lin Zhiyu's palm.

Feel the specialness of Lin Zhiyu's fire.

Melina raised her head again and looked at Lin Zhiyu.

"You...?" The girl hesitated to speak, her face full of confusion.

Lin Zhiyu turned towards the bottom of the pot, guiding the fire in his palm to fly out and slowly sink into the flaming pot.

Then he said to himself:

"There's nothing I can do. This is my treasure! If I want to use it to buy your life, I have to tease you first. Otherwise, I'll be at a huge loss!"

Chapter 92 Knocking on the Door of Heart

For the first time, Lin Zhiyu didn’t tease her in his heart, but directly called Melina “wooden”.

And it also showed that he was deliberately teasing Melina.

But Melina just couldn't do anything to Lin Zhiyu.

From Gaileed to the top of the snowy mountain, she had been accompanying Lin Zhiyu almost all the way, both openly and secretly. Of course, she knew about Lin Zhiyu's fire and how precious it was to him. She spent almost all of her free time nurturing the fire.

Now Lin Zhiyu obviously wants to use the fire to replace Melina in exchange for the firewood to reignite the cauldron of fire.

According to Lin Zhiyu, he felt very distressed about this!

"So this is why he teased me on purpose? He thought I was usually too dull, and today he took advantage of the fact that he 'saved my life' to tease and stir up my emotions unscrupulously..." Thinking of this, Melina couldn't help biting her lip. The feeling of grievance in her heart quickly dissipated, but when she looked at Lin Zhiyu, she still frowned slightly.

This guy……

Really annoying.

"But I can't let him mess around with such an important matter just because of this little emotion." After convincing herself, Melina took a step forward, her toes already touching the innermost edge of the pot. If she took another step forward, she would fall.

She watched Lin Zhiyu sink the fire into the bottom of the cauldron, but the cauldron didn't catch fire. So she turned to look at Lin Zhiyu and said, "That fire bead is very important to you, but I'm afraid it's not enough to reignite the cauldron."

Although the girl didn't say it directly, Lin Zhiyu knew exactly what she meant.

Rather than wasting the fire.

It would be better to sacrifice her directly.

She has already stated that she has made the necessary mental preparations and has made up her mind.

"I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious yet." Lin Zhiyu glanced at Melina, then refocused his attention on the fire that had sunk to the bottom of the flaming pot.

Under Lin Zhiyu's control, the fire at the bottom of the pot soon began to heat up rapidly.

The originally crimson bead of fire quickly turned as bright white as the sun.

The overall temperature of the flaming cauldron began to rise, and the large number of sparks that were originally just floating slightly in the cauldron began to accelerate upwards in the air.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

One minute! Three minutes! Five minutes!

Time passed bit by bit, and Lin Zhiyu tried his best to maintain the fire at the maximum temperature he could reach, and continuously released the flame power contained in the fire at the bottom of the pot, so that the fire, which was originally the size of a walnut, had shrunk a lot and became only the size of a marble.

But the cauldron of fire never reignited.

"Is it really too much of a stretch to use this fire seed to replace a demigod as a sacrifice?" Realizing that the situation was developing in the direction he least wanted to see, Lin Zhiyu suddenly turned his head and stared at Melina.

Meeting Lin Zhiyu's serious gaze, Melina thought that after suffering a loss, Lin Zhiyu was finally going to face reality and was ready to sacrifice her.

But Lin Zhiyu's next words and actions made her suddenly stagnant:

"You'd better get away from this cauldron of fire, and don't even try to touch me—if you don't want to kill me."

After he finished speaking, the Kalia Knight Armor on Lin Zhiyu's body suddenly disappeared, because Lin Zhiyu had put the armor back into the system space, so only the lining of the cotton armor was left on his body.

After the armor on his body disappeared, Lin Zhiyu's body quickly turned red, and his brown eyes turned blazing white in an instant.

Melina was standing very close to Lin Zhiyu. At this moment, she clearly felt that Lin Zhiyu's body was rapidly heating up. She saw how the cotton armor on Lin Zhiyu's body suddenly caught fire.

just now.

It's more than just fire...

Lin Zhiyu poured the remaining fire power in his body into the cauldron of fire!

While pumping the power of fire into the pot at full power, Lin Zhiyu himself quickly turned into a fire man. The scorching flames burned the shocked Melina and brought her back to her senses. Combined with what Lin Zhiyu had just said, the girl suddenly realized that Lin Zhiyu was going to sacrifice himself, not just the fire!

"You..." The girl hesitated to speak to Lin Zhiyu.

She knew that even though she was right next to Lin Zhiyu, at this moment, in this state, Lin Zhiyu probably couldn't hear what she was saying. She also didn't want Lin Zhiyu to pay such a huge price for her, and wanted to sacrifice herself immediately to stop it all.

But what Lin Zhiyu said just now made her unable to make up her mind for a while.

"He said that if I don't want to kill him, I'd better not try to touch him... Can he really hold on?" Melina kept a certain distance from Lin Zhiyu, who had turned into a fire man, and looked at Lin Zhiyu with concern. She felt an inexplicable discomfort in her heart.

Obviously, in this way, she might not have to sacrifice herself.

In the most optimistic scenario, nothing will happen to Lin Zhiyu in the end.

A happy ending.

But why did she feel uncomfortable when she saw Lin Zhiyu burning?

In a trance, Melina remembered some of the things Lin Zhiyu had said to her in the past and just now.

If you want me to become king, I can give it a try.

It was at the end of the battle festival in Red Lion City that she told Lin Zhiyu why Torret chose Lin Zhiyu, believing that Lin Zhiyu had the potential to become king, and expressed that she would do her best to help Lin Zhiyu on the road to competing for the throne.

At that time, Lin Zhiyu made it clear that he was not interested in the throne, but he also told her that if she wanted him to do so, he could try.

And just now...

"This is my treasure! I'm going to trade it for your life, little piece of wood. So I have to tease you a lot first, right? Otherwise, I'll be at a huge loss!"

Why did he say he was a little piece of wood?

So, she had never been as close to him as the other women around him. He had always felt regretful about this. Did he label himself as a wooden person without knowing when...

However, there have been cases in border areas where people who were about to become kings failed because of their love affairs.

in this world,

There was once a king who embarked on a path of madness to save his beloved witch.

There was also a prospective king who turned against the Golden Rule for his beloved witch.

These are all lessons from the past.

So how could she, Melina, open her heart?

Plus, she wasn't a passionate or gentle person.

So maybe Lin Zhiyu was right when he said she was a piece of wood.

But, she is obviously a wooden man, why...

Why have things developed to this point?

"You already have so many outstanding female companions around you, why are you still...?"

Standing on the edge of the cauldron whose temperature was rising higher and higher, looking at Lin Zhiyu who had turned into a fire man not far away, Melina had no expression on her face, but a tear suddenly flowed from her eyes.

"boom!"

At this moment, a loud noise was heard from the distant pass.

Melina turned her head and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw at a glance the one who had clearly been killed by Lin Zhiyu in the underground world - the abandoned child of darkness!

what's the situation! ?

In surprise, Melina looked at Lin Zhiyu again, and then her eyes became sharp in an instant.

He raised his hand to wipe away his tears, held the mission dagger in his hand, and ran quickly towards the pass where the sudden change occurred.

The girl now has only one thought -

She didn't allow anyone to disturb Lin Zhiyu at this time!

Chapter 93: Dead End, Black Sword

On the cold snow.

“Huh…Huh…” Millicent half-knelt on the ground, supporting her body with her sword.

Busujima Saeko held the iron meteorite knife that was inserted into the ground tightly in both hands, and forced her eyelids to stay open, which were about to close at any time, to stay conscious.

On Busujima Saeko's head, the colorful dark abandoned child on its huge and slender body showed a translucent texture between life and non-life, staring at Malicus not far ahead.

Abandoned phantom.

Busujima Saeko never expected that this powerful skill called "Law of Heaven and Earth" by Lin Zhiyu, which she had just learned not long ago, would be forced to use this move by a mysterious enemy who came out of nowhere!

But this move consumes too much mental energy!

Unfortunately, she had never actively increased her spirit in her basic attributes, so now that she had just summoned the shadow of the Dark Abandoned Child, she already felt confused and might fall asleep at any time.

But she really had no other choice!

The lion-like beast-man in a monk's robe was simply too powerful.

She and Millicent teamed up, but they couldn't even handle each other!

"A dark meteor? But it's not the real body." Malicus's expression became solemn as he looked up at the dark abandoned phantom summoned by Busujima Saeko.

At this time, the old monk's robe he was wearing had been torn into more than one piece.

Millicent and Busujima Saeko are no pushovers either.

Although the two women failed to capture Malicus, they did make Malicus suffer and had several wounds on his body.

Most importantly, Malicus looked over at the flaming cauldron and saw that flames were rising from that side.

"It seems that my current posture is far from enough to pass through the pass ahead, and time waits for no one..." Malicus muttered to himself, as if he had made some kind of decision.

The abandoned phantom summoned by Busujima Saeko didn't care what Malicus was thinking.

This dark meteor, with light waves condensing between its pair of jaws, immediately shot an "ultimate flash" towards Malicus.
