Unlike the situation where the black fog swept and obscured the outside, this large building known as the "Fire Transferring Sacrificial Site" directly "dispelled" the billowing black fog that blocked the view. Moreover, although it itself was dilapidated, it was still intact.
Every brick and tile exudes a faint light, and starting from the entrance, there are burning torches on the stone walls.
If you think about it carefully, it's normal. A place named "Passing Fire" has nothing to do with darkness.
After John stepped through the door's comments, he sorted out his appearance that was a little messy due to the previous battle, and stepped into the huge doorway that was three meters high.
This guy... even though he had said very confidently that his wife was not here, was he planning to give a good impression to the women inside?
If you treat every woman gently, you will probably end up in a desperate situation with multiple Shura fields.
While making ill-intentioned assumptions about John, Connor followed him in.
After passing through the short hallway, Kangna's eyes suddenly opened up.
What appeared in front of her was a huge, like... uh, indoor stadium, with high sides and a huge circular indoor structure with a concave center.
The towering dome and thick columns support the overall structure of the building, which is surrounded by an "auditorium" divided into three levels in a stepped manner. At the lowest point in the center is a circular platform that looks like a stage.
On the opposite side, that is, in the "auditorium" facing the entrance where John walked in, there were five huge physical thrones that were far larger than the size of ordinary people placed at intervals, and they were all empty.
"It was a mistake. It turned out to be the 'Aestus Domus Aurea'," John said. "It seems that I mistakenly blamed the guy who left the message at the door."
"This name..." Since there was no database support, Kangna thought for a few seconds before remembering: "The theater of the Roman tyrant Nero? You have mentioned this name before, right? Will he be a salary king?"
"Impossible," John shook his head: "She is the only one who burns others."
She? Kangna was stunned for two seconds, and then remembered the law that "as long as the story itself exists, the people in the story will not exist."
If you think about it carefully, what the tyrant Nero did in history would seem... quite touching if it were done by a woman?
For example, stealing all the gold medals in the Olympic Games, or locking up everyone because they did not attend the concert...
Kangna glanced back to make sure the door was not locked, and then she breathed a sigh of relief - even though she was now headless and breathless.
After John finished answering Kangna's question, he didn't seem to intend to explain further, and strode directly to the Fire Sacrifice, or in other words, the "center stage" of the "Golden Theater of Lust".
Kangna, who was being dragged away, turned around and took a look, only to find a female figure on the stage. She had been ignored before because she was too busy observing the environment of the sacrificial site.
Although I don’t know who left the message yet, but since she can be called “wife” by a stranger, she must be very beautiful... right?
————
When she came to the woman, Kangna realized that her guess was hasty.
How do you judge whether a woman is beautiful with half her face covered?
Just from fair skin, small chin and beautiful lip shape?
It doesn’t seem impossible?
Standing there was a woman with short white hair wearing a dress that looked like an evening dress. She had a lace headband on her head, knee-high boots, and an eyepatch covering the upper half of her face.
These clothes are all in pure black with mysterious silver lace, making her look very mysterious.
However, a crow landing on her shoulder made this mystery lessened a lot.
Obviously, John also knew her. After he stopped, he was stunned for several seconds without speaking.
Kangna vaguely heard him whispering to himself: "No, no, even if the elements are basically consistent, it must not be the case."
Hehe, where has the confidence gone when facing Deadpool?
"[Welcome to the campfire, Lord Ashes without Fire.]"
On the contrary, it was the woman who spoke first, her voice slightly deep, with a strange rhythm, like singing an opera.
“[I am the ‘Fire Protection Girl’, someone who specializes in maintaining campfires and serving you.]”
Hmm...well, look at this appearance, and look at this humble attitude, she does have the qualifications to be called a wife - unless the blindfold is covered with burns when she lifts it, and the bored Kangna has random thoughts.
"'Fireproof Woman'?" John replied: "What do you think of the 'Yurha No. 2 Type B'?"
She didn't understand it at all. He must be speaking slang again. Kangna thought about the meaning of the term to no avail, so she went to see how the "fireproof girl" responded.
"[If you need help to find the king who abandoned his throne, please feel free to call me.]" the fireproof girl replied.
Great, they didn't respond at all and pretended not to hear.
"Why do you call him 'Fireless Ashes'?" Connor interjected.
"[The fireless one is a vessel for the soul. You can transform the ownerless soul into your own power,]" the fireproof woman replied: "[And I can help with this]."
"How can I help?" Kangna asked.
"[Lord Ashes, please bring the ownerless soul here.]" The fireproof woman replied in an unchanging tone.
"Hmm..." Kangna thought for a moment and turned to John: "She doesn't seem very smart?"
"No, it's just that you didn't meet the triggering conditions." John shook his head.
As he answered, he raised his hand with the multi-purpose tool, and saw a flash of red light, and an illusory, translucent, marshmallow-like substance appeared in his palm.
"Unowned soul? Picked up on the road before?" Kangna thought of those weirdos in robes.
"Well," John handed the "ownerless soul" to the fireproof woman.
"[I understand,]" the fireproof girl raised her arms and held John's hand dragging his soul: "[Please touch the darkness within me, and the ownerless soul will become yours"
strength.】"
Uh...why do you think there's something wrong with this?
call--
At the same time that the fireproof girl finished speaking, the "soul" suddenly turned into a black mist, which was absorbed to her body along her arms. At the same time, there was a light golden stream from the palm of her hand.
Welled out and instilled into John.
For a moment, the two people were each emitting black and golden light, looking quite strange.
The fireproof girl let go of her hand and returned to her original standing posture: "[Lord Ashes, please show the spiral sword to the campfire. That sword is the evidence of Ashes, and it will guide you to the land of kings - Lothrik, the king.
The hometown and the place where wanderers meet.】
Only then did Kangna notice that there was a cluster of extinguished bonfire embers in the center of the stage near where the fire girl was.
"..." When John heard this, he did not immediately insert his sword. He looked at the fire-prevention woman carefully for a while, sighed inexplicably, and then said: "It seems that [she] has been the 'fire-prevention woman' for a while.
But then I got bored and gave up.”
That's right, it's quite boring just looking at it.
