Chapter 119 Year of Tribute
"He is yours."
This sentence was said to the flame warriors around him.
After retreating from the state of a wild beast to the human form, these flame warriors will not really be resurrected.
Instead, like the mountains and seas, they can only exist in the posture of a living dead for a short time.
Then... they will completely disappear into the world.
"It seems that Shanhai is really powerful. Not all the flame warriors who have become wild beasts have the strength of being as strong as Shanhai during their lifetime."
Andrew sighed in his heart.
It can be seen that even though the vast majority of the flame warriors present recovered their human form, they could not recover much of their former consciousness and memories.
In fact, even if it is as strong as a mountain and sea, the memories retained after restoring their human form are already seriously incomplete.
However, unlike mountains and seas, it is-
Even though all the flame warriors at the scene were not much of their mind left, they still had instinctive "hate".
The hatred of the magic union that turned them into wild beasts and discarded in this inland desert was originally regarded as their homeland!
He discovered their secrets, but chose to use them to drive their guy's deep hatred!
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Ross's terrified scream suddenly rang in the desert, "Don't... don't come here!!"
I saw the flame warriors running, walking, or climbing... coming from all directions towards him!
Not long ago, Ross drove the wild beasts and besieged the wildfire leader.
Now, Ross himself has become the target of spontaneous attack by the flame warriors who were once the wild beasts!
From Rose's perspective, this scene is like countless zombies coming from all directions to eat his flesh and blood raw.
And he was suppressed by the magic power left in Andrew in his body, and he could not move even if he moved!
I can only watch it!
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Ross screamed.
He hasn't actually been touched.
Just looking at the scene in front of him, he was already scared.
It's really urinating.
Shit and urine flow in the same way.
The liver and gallbladder are split!
This famous (notorious) wild speaker among the younger generation begged Andrew for mercy with tears in his eyes: "Let me go! Please let me go! I... I am still very valuable. I can provide you with important information, really!!"
He begged and looked at Andrew: "My mission is to complete the task of "Capture Barbara" that Master Hobert was unable to complete!
I can tell you why the superiors value Barbara so much and must capture her alive!
It’s not just because we wanted to capture the daughter of the Chamber of Commerce’s president after we started a war with the Chamber of Commerce, and then coerced the Chamber of Commerce’s president!
And...and...because...because this year is actually the 'year of tribute'!!
This year is a tribute—aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
Ross screamed suddenly.
A flame warrior pounced on him and bit his face!
Next is the second place, the flame warrior, the third place...
"Don't... don't... save your life..." Ross' scream soon became dull and intermittent.
The screams did not last too long, and of course they did not last too short.
When the flame warriors finally stopped, above the desert and under the scorching sun, not to mention Rose's even a small piece of bones, flesh and blood, and even the fabric of his body's clothes no longer existed.
"A method of death of this level, even the 'pufig series' in the earth fire magic, cannot die for him."
Andrew thought to himself, "I think about disgusting people every day, but I will eventually suffer backlash."
So yes, this time, Ross is really dead.
He originally thought that information about the "year of tribute" could be delayed for at least a period of time.
Little did he know that while Andrew used the "Enchantment Dance" to restore all the wild beasts to human form, he had already found a lot of important information from the remaining memories of the Flame Warriors, including information about the so-called "Year of Tribute".
The so-called "year of tribute" refers to a secret tribute that needs to be made within the magic union every ten years or so.
The object of tribute... unknown.
I only know that the tribute used for tribute is not a product, but a person—
People with the "Eight Weird Fire"!
In his mind, Andrew immediately recalled the showdown with senior Pitt who had "Shadow-Eating Fire" when he was an intermediate magic apprentice.
It was on his way back to the temporary camp with Barbara in a coma on his back.
It was after the duel with Pitt that he successfully promoted from an intermediate magic apprentice to a high-level magic apprentice, and obtained the "Fingertip Series", "Invisible Enchantment", and "Extra-distance Spurs".
At that time, he defeated Pete and asked him why he was clearly a high-level magic apprentice, and his combat power was not inferior to that of Hobert's best Cook and Cylie, but he was willing to disguise himself as an ordinary intermediate magic apprentice, and asked him what the reason was hidden.
Pete's answer was: "Because of fear."
In this world of flames, the "Eight Weird Fire" is regarded as a rare talent, but at the same time, it is also regarded as a curse.
The owners of Eight Weird Fire are more likely to suffer from various strange natural disasters than other fire magicians.
It is especially easy to "disappear" inexplicably!
Missing!!
This made Andrew couldn't help but think: "Can those missing owners of the Eight-Strange Fire, actually secretly captured by the Magic Union, and in this so-called 'Tribute Year', they were presented as tributes to an unknown powerful existence?"
It feels like this can completely explain why the owners of the Eight Weir Fire are prone to strange events. Moreover, the frequency of accidents is not uniform, but periodic fluctuations. Can this periodicity correspond to the frequency of the year of tribute?
"...Anyway, Ross, you may not know much about the 'Year of Tribute' now." Andrew came back to his senses and looked at the sand that Ross had last existed, thinking, "Since that's the case, I don't need you to provide any information."
From the memories left by the Flame Warrior, Andrew also tried to search for information about the "outer-domain battlefield".
Before, Andrew heard the concept of "extraterritorial battlefield" from the mountains and seas. It seemed that when there were water magicians in this world, the water magicians finally retreated when they were hunted and persecuted by magic unions.
Andrew wanted to know where that place is? How to go? And if you can go, are there still water magicians there?
But unfortunately, Andrew did not search for relevant information from the remaining memories of the Flame Warriors.
I don’t know if someone knew the relevant information, but forgot it? Or is it about the “extraterritorial battlefield”, except for the existence of mountains and seas, ordinary flame warriors are not qualified to touch it at all?
Andrew couldn't help but stand silently and fell into deep thought.
Not far away, Frey saw the wild beasts turning into flame warriors with his own eyes, and then watched his partner Ross, who was overwhelmed and eaten by the angry flame warriors.
Throughout the process, she went from crying to pain, to now numbness.
What's strange is that as Rose's partner and accomplice, she was not much afraid.
Instead, I felt a little empathetic to the actions of the flame warriors who had recovered from their human form.
"If I, like them, became a wild beast after the Dragon Transformation lost control, not only would I be a walking corpse in this inland desert, but I would also be controlled by people with the magic of the wild language, what would I do? Will this happen?" Frey couldn't help but have such thoughts.
Seeing this is true, no matter how unwilling she was to believe the cruel truth that Andrew presented to her, she had to admit that this was the truth.
His eyes slowly turned, Frey looked at Andrew again and said mutely: "You kill me."
Rose died, Frey was a little sad, but she didn't think there was anything. She didn't like Rose too much. Her partner was not a couple, and she might not even be a partner.
However, the fact that the wild beast is the Flame Warrior has had a great blow to Frey.
