Chapter 513 Elias
Chapter 513 Elias
Xingluo left the pottery shop, holding the exquisite pottery jar tightly in his hand, feeling extremely satisfied. He knew that this pottery jar would always accompany him, reminding him of the adventures and dangers he had experienced, and also inspiring him to keep moving forward to explore more wonders and secrets of this world. It was not until Xingluo walked away that the shop owner woke up from her flattery and looked down at the huge magic core in her hand. This was far more than the value of the pottery jar, and it was more than enough to buy her. However, the carving knife in her hand also broke, as if it could not withstand this force. When she wanted to call Xingluo who was walking away, she saw the magic core again in her peripheral vision, and she quietly took back the remains of the carving knife. Xingluo gave her too much, and it was more than enough for her to buy multiple carving knives.
After spending most of the day at the market in Fire Castle, Xingluo felt a little tired and decided to return to the inn where he was staying - the "Sunset" Inn in Fire Castle. This inn was famous for its comfortable environment and friendly service, and was the first choice for many adventurers and travelers.
After returning to the hotel, Xingluo stretched himself and felt that all the fatigue in his body seemed to surge up at once. He walked into his room, put down the package and the things he bought, and took off his travel gear. Then, he lay comfortably on the bed and closed his eyes. He spent the day like an ordinary person without a space ring, carrying large and small bags to experience the feeling of shopping, recalling today's experience and the discoveries in the Lost City.
After a short rest, Xingluo felt a little hungry, so he got up and went to the restaurant of the hotel. There were already many guests dining in the restaurant, and the lively atmosphere made him feel relaxed. He ordered a sumptuous dinner, tasting the barbecue and thick soup that were the specialties of the Fire Castle, and feeling the warmth and satisfaction brought by the food.
After dinner, Xingluo returned to her room, took out the book she bought at the bookstore, sat on a chair by the window, and began to read slowly. The night outside the window gradually enveloped the entire Fire Castle, and the hustle and bustle on the street gradually subsided, replaced by a tranquility.
Xingluo felt particularly peaceful and satisfied at this moment. He understood that although adventure was exciting, occasional leisure time was equally precious. He decided to stay in the Fire Castle for a while longer, enjoy this rare peaceful life, and then plan the next adventure. Xingluo's heart was full of expectations and longings. He knew that no matter what the future path would be, he would go on firmly and continue to explore the wonders and secrets of this world. This was also the charm of the alien continent. Although he had never given up on going back, he would also enjoy every moment in the process.
Xingluo took a deep breath and began to prepare to contact the demon in the Fire Castle. Although he had already reached the peak of the great magician, he still had not broken through to the mage. He had been in the Fire Castle for several months. If he continued to work behind closed doors, he probably would not be able to break through. He might as well go out and see if there was any way to leave this deep level, or look for an opportunity to break through to the mage.
Xingluo put on the Lava Amulet, a cursed item that looked no different from high-level magic equipment, but its effect was too evil. If it had not been made in the Lava Abyss, it should not even be called the Lava Amulet. This was the first cursed item he made for himself in the abyss. Although he sold many of them and had mastered the method of making cursed items, he never had the chance to try to make one for himself because he felt it was too evil. However, he recently figured it out that cursed items are also a kind of power, and the production process does not involve the sacrifice of innocent human souls. As long as the user sticks to his heart and is not overwhelmed by the power, there is no need to worry about the bad consequences of using cursed items.
Xingluo took a deep breath and thought no more. He walked out of the hotel and came to the bustling street. This place was not as deserted as the previous layer of the abyss. Humans with similar appearance to him could be seen everywhere, and the sounds of hawking were heard one after another. If it were not for the faint hot breath in the air mixed with a hint of chaos unique to the abyss, then this place would just be a somewhat hot environment.
Xingluo wore the amulet as a signboard. Any demon who could see through this disguise was worthy of his communication. Moreover, for high-level demons with weaker mental power, the amulet might be accidentally overlooked. So this time he didn't set up a stall or anything. He simply wore it on his body to help him with the initial screening.
In the deepest part of the Lava Abyss, the prosperous town of Flame Castle seems peaceful on the surface, but in its dark corners, there is a powerful existence hidden - a high-level demon, known as the "Lord of Black Flame". This demon is famous in the abyss for its wisdom and power. Countless adventurers and magicians have tried to find him in the hope of gaining powerful power, but in the end, without exception, they paid a heavy price.
After completing the adventure in the Lost City, Xingluo returned to the Fire Castle exhausted. While resting in the inn, he accidentally heard some drinkers whispering, and they mentioned the name of the Lord of Black Flame. His curiosity was aroused at that time, and he decided to further investigate this mysterious existence.
After several days of investigation, Xingluo learned that the Lord of Black Flame lived in the underground maze of the Fire Castle, a secret entrance known only to a few people.
Xingluo walked around the streets of Fire Castle, trying to find more clues about the Lord of Black Flame. He walked through stalls and asked countless vendors and adventurers, but the answers he got were all rumors full of fear and awe. Just when he was about to give up, the name of an old magician came into his ears - Elias.
Elias is an old magician who lives in seclusion in a small house on the edge of the Flame Castle. It is said that he had contact with the Lord of Black Flame and survived miraculously. Xingluo, with a hint of curiosity, decided to visit this mysterious old man. He was prepared to be unable to find him for a long time.
Xingluo came to the edge of the town. The houses here were sparse and the environment was more peaceful, forming a sharp contrast with the hustle and bustle of the town center. He walked along a winding path, surrounded by tall trees and dense bushes. The breeze blew, bringing a breath of fresh air, making Xingluo feel a rare tranquility.
Soon, he saw Elias's residence. It was an old and simple hut, with mottled outer walls, as if it had experienced countless winds and rains. The tiles on the roof were a little damaged, and the weeds around it grew wildly, almost covering part of the hut. Despite this, the hut exuded a mysterious atmosphere, as if it hid countless stories and secrets.
