Chapter 3 This fire, no one is fighting?
While thinking about it, Lin Dong tried to completely open his eyes that were so painful that he had just been moistened by the "Water Spirit Technique" and only improved a lot.
At present, I only have the "impression" in Andrew's memory for this world and have never seen it myself.
So after recovering, I still wanted to see with my own eyes what the flame world I have traveled through is like.
But after opening his eyes, Lin Dong felt his heart be tightened.
The people who were originally surrounded by them retreated a little.
There is no scene in front of Lin Dong’s world of flames.
But a pair of eyes that are so close to you!
The black eyes were filled with a hint of dark red, a bit like the color of lava. In the depths of the pupils, there seemed to be magma flowing.
It was the eyes of the old magician Hobert.
...
...
The fire was still spreading, like a red shorts swaying in the night wind, and even the starry night sky above the desert seemed to be reflected red.
No one dares to expel this fire.
Fortunately, there will be "isolation zones" around every residential building in civilian areas.
If the fire is strong, it will stop naturally when the isolation zone has nothing to burn.
In fact, apart from the "isolation belt" and "fire extinguishing flame", there is no third "legal" fire extinguishing method in this flame world.
Use water to extinguish the fire? It does not exist.
Whoever dares to do this will be arrested by the magic union that day and burned to death on the charge of blasphemy of the Holy Fire.
"What are you...what are you going to do?"
Aunt Sophia looked vigilantly at the approaching sheriff Raymond, who was like an old hen protecting her cubs, protecting her daughter who survived the disaster but was still in a coma.
The crowd was originally surrounded by Sophie and Andrew.
But when Raymond came over, most people subconsciously retreated.
Raymond sneered, put on his gloves, and picked up a piece of fabric from the ground not far from Sophie.
It was the fabric that Lin Dong had wet just now.
During the escape, Sophie actually woke up once and coughed so much.
Lin Dong then distributed the fabric that was originally wrapped around his face to the girl. This is also the biggest reason why the girl is not seriously injured now, and Lin Dong almost died of lung damage just now.
The sheriff stared at the cloth for a moment.
Go closer and sniff it again.
His face changed and he said loudly: "So that's it, this is a...diaper! Humph, he actually tried to escape the glory of returning to the Holy Fire? There is no doubt that this is depravity!"
My true thoughts are: This is a good idea! If I am unlucky to encounter a fire in the future, I can learn it!
He took a step forward and planned to continue to question Sophia and his daughter in order to please Hobert.
But he was ruthlessly interrupted by the old magician: "Idiot, how could a twelve-year-old girl think of such a way?"
Hobert walked straight to Andrew, who is now Lin Dong, with a strange smile on his old orange-skinned face and said slowly: "It's interesting. Although the body of a mortal cannot resist my magic flame, this method can resist the thick smoke to a certain extent.
Is it the solution you came up with? Andrew."
After saying that, he stared at Lin Dong.
——It was the moment when Lin Dong stood up and met the old magician’s eyes!
This is the first time Lin Dong faces a magician in this world of flames.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but when I faced the old magician’s eyes at close range, Lin Dong felt a terrifying feeling that he was seen through from the inside out.
It seems that the other person's eyes can see the depths of his heart!
This is not a saying used in the past to describe the insightful eyes of some great people, but a...real and authentic magical power.
Lin Dong almost couldn't help but tell the truth: "I'm not the magic apprentice Andrew you know, I'm Lin Dong!"
Fortunately, the pendant on my chest, "Tears of the Goddess" shook slightly.
The "Water Spirit Technique" was activated again, flowing all over the body, as if an invisible protective layer was formed, isolation from the magic power that saw through the human heart in the eyes of the old magician.
Lin Dong then recovered from his soberness.
But I was shocked: "Damn, what the hell? This old guy's eyes are so terrible!"
It's really terrible.
But Lin Dong didn't have much fear!
Because before the fear emerged, a strange "dignity violated" pride and angry emotion emerged from the bottom of the heart - no, it should be said that it was from the "Tears of the Water God" in the chest! Then, with the "Water Spirit Art" swept across the whole body.
So Lin Dong's eyes narrowed, and he looked at Hobert's eyes without giving in, and said something he had never expected:
"Sorry, I have no obligation to answer your questions."
The scene was quiet for a moment.
The boy's calm words echoed on this street not far from the central square of Wildfire Town, as if wrapped in the cold night wind, blowing far away.
The crowds who took refuge in the streets and some people who came to see the fun from other parts of the town, stayed for a long time before making a low "hiss" sound of gasping in the air.
Is this kid crazy?
Although a mere magic apprentice barely squeezed into the magic circle, he was actually still the physique of an ordinary person without any magical talent.
How dare you speak like this to a senior fire magician?
Even if I just escaped from the sea of fire, I felt angry at the magician who caused the fire and his laboratory, and I had to endure it. How could I say this?
Don't want to live anymore?
Sure enough, the sheriff Raymond was stunned for a moment, and then jumped up like chicken blood: "You...you are bold! You are looking for death!"
The Magic Union is the actual controller of this world, and the secular power held by the sheriff is not worth mentioning in front of the Union.
Raymond had already thought about it and wanted to make this kid named Andrew.
Because there is no better way to please the old magician than this!
"Wait a moment!"
Aunt Sophia shouted.
After confirming that her daughter was not seriously injured, she returned to a little calmer.
Although he is not very close to Andrew who lives on the same floor, he is a little unable to understand why Andrew, who is usually cowardly and timid, sacrificed his life to save his daughter from the fire this time.
But since he received the favor, Aunt Sophia still wanted to repay as much as possible and said, "Andrew just escaped, he...he is still confused!"
There are also some residents nearby who know Andrew on weekdays and said with courage: "Yes, he is just a child. You have a lot of them, let him go."
Lin Dong didn't know what effect these words would have in the ears of the sheriff.
I only know that it is illogical to hear it in my ears.
I escaped from the sea of fire with me and saved a little girl by the way. In this world, is it a crime?
Although I have learned from Andrew's memory that the world's worship of flames is blind to pathological, this is the first time Lin Dong has seen it from his own perspective.
The offensive anger that originated from the pendant on the chest has subsided.
