"I didn't expect there to be such a shortcut. How did President Lincoln know about this route?"
Hearing Selena's question, Lincoln smiled awkwardly. Kyle had specifically reminded him not to tell others.
"Intuition … intuition."
Selena didn't ask further. Everyone had secrets, and she was no exception.
Sticking a scroll on the boulder, Selena and Lincoln retreated dozens of meters.
"If we blow up these stones, we can reach the legendary treasure trove of Pennister, right?"
Selena took out the Dragon Seeking Compass. "There's definitely a dragon here. The Dragon Seeking Compass's reaction is too strange."
"Blow it up."
Selena nodded, then tore another scroll.
Boom!
Lincoln and Selena quickly rushed through the passage and came to the pit.
Dust, heads, killing puppets, half-dragons …
Lincoln and Selina were dumbfounded by the series of strange scenes that unfolded before them.
Lincoln touched his head, found Alice in the dust, and hurriedly picked her up.
"What happened here?
Why are you all here? "
"Ahem." Selena frowned. "What the hell is that red figure?"
"Uncle Lincoln, Aunt Selena."
Alice was very strong, not at all like someone who had just walked through the edge of death.
Alice calmly explained to Lincoln and Selena what happened here.
After listening, Lincoln was even more confused. "You don't know who that red figure is?
So, he saved you and then dragged Yril into the magma? "
"Yeah."
… …
At this time, in the magma, Yril kept falling, but the red figure was protected by a magic barrier, isolated from the magma.
Just as Yril was about to hit the bottom, a person pulled his claws.
Kyle!
The red figure also became clear. It was Xoura who came with Kyle.
Due to the protection of the magic barrier, Xoura swam happily in the magma.
"Boss Kyle, can you be gentler next time? Although I'm bald, you can't hit me like a ball."
"Am I not good at playing ball?"
"Good!
You're especially like that person … "
"Don't talk nonsense."
Kyle used magic to protect Yril and soon found the seed of malice in his body.
"What a familiar power."
Kyle directly reached out and pierced Yril's heart, then gently pinched it.
Buzz!
Pennister's, White, Dragon Knight … A large amount of memories flooded into Kyle's soulfire.
Kyle?
He's me?
Am I him?
Kyle's soul flame suddenly trembled, and his mental strength was in a state where it could collapse at any moment.
Whoosh!
Kyle endured the pain and pulled the seed of malice out of Yril's heart.
"Xoura, take him up first. Don't tell him I'm here."
"Okay."
After watching Xoura leave, Kyle looked at the seed of malice in his hand and directly crushed it!
Bang!
Kyle also read part of the Astral's memories. At the same time, he became more and more suspicious of his previous guesses.
"No … … He's not me. He's different from me. Then … … who am I?"
… …
"What happened here?" After the dust settled, Selena was shocked by the situation inside the crater.
A palace floating on top of magma, a mysterious person whose head had been inexplicably cut off … …
Lincoln comforted Alice. He could feel that Alice's body was still slightly trembling.
"Alice, Kyle didn't come?"
After hearing Kyle's name, Alice froze for a moment, then said somewhat dejectedly, "No."
Strange. Lincoln scratched his head. This route was given to him by Kyle. That guy actually didn't come.
Splash!
At that moment, someone rushed out of the magma.
"Oh my!
It's so hot. "
Xoura dragged the naked Yril to the stone platform.
"Which one of you knows Holy Words?
Healing magic is also fine. This guy's injuries are quite serious. "
"Yril!"
Alice cried out in alarm when she saw Yril covered in wounds.
Selena glanced at Lincoln. After seeing Lincoln nod, she took out a scroll.
Intermediate Healing Spell!
A faint light entered Yril's body, and then slowly began to heal.
"This is the highest level of Holy Words that I have on me. It can only temporarily alleviate his injuries."
After hearing Selena's words, Lincoln also said, "I still have Holy Words in reserve. Let's take him back to the City of the Night first. But then again …"
Lincoln looked at Xoura, sized him up, and said, "You're Xoura, right?"
Xoura grinned. "President Lincoln has a good memory. It's me."
Selena also said, "That's not right. The legendary Prince Xoura isn't very handsome, but …"
Xoura coldly snorted, then pointed at his head. "What do you know? I've become bald, but I've also become stronger."
"Uh … Okay."
Xoura had indeed become stronger. Selena could clearly feel that this guy seemed to have taken some kind of medicine. He definitely had strength beyond level 6.
"Okay, stop bragging." Lincoln patted Xoura's shoulder. "Where's Kyle?"
Before Xoura could answer, he saw a person suddenly appear and then carry Alice.
From beginning to end, Selena and Lincoln didn't sense Kyle's aura.
Xoura was also shocked. With his current strength, he still seemed very powerless in front of Kyle.
Kyle smiled and patted Alice's head. He said gently, "Sorry, Alice, I'm late."
Hearing Kyle's voice, Alice's psychological defense collapsed.
"Wuuu …"
Kyle helped Alice wipe her tears. "Alice is very strong, right?"
"Yes!
I'm not crying. "
"Haha."
"Don't laugh!"
"Okay, okay, I won't laugh."
Lafame, who had been forgotten by everyone, woke up at this time. He rubbed his head and looked at everyone with a dazed expression.
"What happened?
Did I die?
I'm so happy … Even if I die, there are still so many people accompanying me. "
Pa!
Xoura slapped the back of Lafame's head.
"Little fatty, why aren't you thanking the incomparably brave His Highness Xoura for saving you?"
"Huh?" Lafame blinked at Xoura and said doubtfully, "You're Xoura?
The one Alice and I caught … Oh! "
Xoura covered Lafame's mouth. "Little fatty, was this highness caught by you?
This highness was letting you go and wanted to accompany you to the City of the Night. "
"Is that so?"
"Of course."
… …
Kyle, who was holding Alice, glanced at the corpse on the ground. He said to Lincoln and Selena, "Do you know him?"
The two looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Charlotte Benjamin, a person who called himself the King of Puppets."
"King of Puppets …" Selena frowned. She seemed to have some impression of it.
Lincoln touched his chin. "I haven't heard the name Charlotte Benjamin, but the King of Puppets …"
"In the darkest year, the demon star will be born. The seven kings will be shrouded in darkness …" Selena's eyes lit up. "This is the prophecy of the prophet. Could he be one of the seven kings?"
