Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 216 I'm So Envious

"Can you stand up?" Yu Jin turned his gaze to the girl with fear in her eyes and asked softly.

"me……"

The girl was instinctively frightened by the rolling thunder and fell to the ground again. She uttered two words with trembling lips but could not speak a complete sentence. She looked at the dragon corpses scattered all over the ground and felt inexplicably complicated.

These powerful dragons that had chased them all the way and slaughtered their entire tribe were now reduced to wreckage. The strong dragon scales that had prevented them from even breaking through their defenses had also been shattered by the lightning, leaving only a bloody corpse...

The strength of the man in front of me is so terrifying!
"I, can..." Lilith gritted her teeth, stood up, and whispered:
"Thank you for saving me."

Lilith didn't know what Yu Jin wanted to do, but at least he looked friendly and did save her from the dragon. This made the girl feel fear and gratitude towards him. What she feared was the power, and what she was grateful for was the action.

Yu Jin looked down at the girl's still trembling legs, knowing that she still needed some time to adapt, and asked softly:
"Why are they chasing you?"

"To plunder our blood essence."

Lilith's mood became depressed, and she whispered, "The strong prey on the weak, that's how the world works. Giants hunt dragons, and dragons hunt us..."

"Have you heard of the Ancient Gods?"

Yu Jin hesitated for two seconds and then asked.

"Ancient God?"

Lilith raised her head, her eyes full of confusion.

"For example, have you ever heard of the ancestor of the blood clan?"

Lilith shook her head in confusion and said hesitantly:

"I have never heard of the ancestor of the blood clan, but the strongest of the blood clan is Lord Luzius, who is a true god. His castle is at the easternmost part of the continent. I heard that there is no need to worry about the threat of dragons there. Sister Dorothy originally planned to lead us through the desert in the center of the continent to the east, but unexpectedly..."

Lilith's eyes dimmed. The entire family of hundreds of people had been completely wiped out in the dragons' relentless pursuit. If it weren't for the sudden appearance of the embers, even she would not have survived.

"There is no blood clan ancestor?"

Yu Jin's expression slightly changed, but he was not too surprised by this answer, and then asked:

"The Giant King Olmir, the Fantasy Dragon Angerwede, the Alien King Kwashitun, the Elf King Sonyatholem, the Destruction Wolf Flegra, the Phoenix Ancestor Graygari, the Demon King Fabuti. Have you heard of any of them?"

"Olmir?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Lilith's eyes, and she explained in a low voice:
"I've heard of the Giant King. According to legend, he is the common ancestor of all giants, but I don't know his name. No one knows. I haven't heard of other names, but the dragon clan seems to have a dragon king as well..."

Lilith suddenly blushed because she found that she couldn't answer a single question.

"That's it."

Yu Jin nodded slightly. Lilith's answer matched his guess.

According to the elves' division of history, the Second Age is divided into three eras: the Age of Seeding, the Age of the First Shining of Fire, and the Age of Twins.

The last time he went there was the Twin Age. At that time, Lilith, the ancestor of the blood clan, had long since fallen, and giants and dragons were the two most powerful supernatural races.

The Fire Age before this was centered on the confrontation between the eight ancient gods. Giants, elves, and vampires formed the pan-human camp, while dragons, aliens, and phoenixes formed the extraordinary races. In the process of fighting and confronting each other, the two sides also fought against the pollution and erosion of demons and demon wolves.

As for the present era when the ancient gods have not yet been born, it is undoubtedly the embryonic age at the beginning of the Second Age.

During this period, the ancient gods appeared one after another, and the sky, the earth, the ocean, and the underground slowly transitioned from absolute disorder to a certain order. During this period, because the Blasphemous Slate had not yet appeared, madness and tyranny filled the land, and even the ancient gods were not immune.

From now on, the Giant King should have gotten rid of his madness by giving birth to children crazily, but his rank should not have reached Sequence 0. Similarly, the Fantasy Dragon should be the same.

As for the vampires...

"Is Lucius a boy or a girl?" Yu Jin suddenly asked.

"Eh?"

Lilith was stunned for a moment, as if she had never expected Yu Jin to ask such a question. But after hesitating for a while, she still whispered:
"Although I have never seen Lord Lucius, he should be a man."

The embers seemed to realize something:
"Since he's a male, he can't be Sequence 1."

"And Lilith called Lucius 'Him' and described him as 'a true god', which means he is most likely an angel."

"Moreover, since Lilith's family has a Sequence 4 Saint, it is unlikely that she would seek refuge with another Sequence 3 Saint. After all, even a family with a Sequence 4 Saint could be easily slaughtered by a giant dragon, and a Sequence 3 Saint wouldn't be much better. Only Sequence 2 angels can barely stand firm."

"That is to say..."

Yu Jin's eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly looked at Lilith and said in a low voice:

"Lilith."

"I, I'm..."

Lilith was so nervous that she didn't know what Yu Jin wanted her to do.

"Do you desire power?" Yu Jin's eyes were deep, and a blood-red gem appeared in his hand. The light it emitted was as dazzling as moonlight.

"I……"

Lilith's eyes were almost instinctively attracted to the blood-red ruby ​​emitting moonlight, and she swallowed.

She was not greedy, but her instinct made her crave for this 'blood essence', even though she knew that this essence once belonged to her people.

The girl gritted her teeth, looked away with difficulty, pursed her lips, and asked in a low voice:

"What do you need me to do?"

She knew that everything had a price.

She wants to gain power, but she may have to pay a price that she cannot afford.

"What do I want? That's a good question indeed."

Yu Jin stroked his chin and did not answer Lilith's question immediately.

I don’t know what he was thinking of, but Yu Jin suddenly chuckled.

"Eh?"

Lilith blinked, looking a little confused, not knowing what Yu Jin was laughing at.

Yu Jin's gaze fell on the girl again and he said softly:
"Become the ancestor of the blood race, Lilith."

"Eh?"

The confusion in Lilith's eyes became even more intense.

Who am I? Where am I? What is he talking about? --
Trier, inside a luxury hotel near St. Rosel Church.

Audrey, who lived in the luxurious penthouse suite, sat on the cushioned chair in the room, looking at herself in the mirror in a daze.

"What are you thinking?"

The voice beside her ear made Audrey's face change slightly. Through the reflection of the mirror, she saw a figure standing not far behind her.

It was a lady, wearing a complicated and gorgeous black dress, sitting on a soft velvet mattress. Her face was covered with a thin black veil, so her features could not be seen clearly. But the lady's beautiful figure and clear and beautiful voice still made people instinctively like her.

But Audrey's face slightly changed, because she had seen this lady before, in the square during the day! "How did you get in?"

Audrey showed a hint of panic on her face, and nervously got up from her chair and took a few steps closer to the door in a way that would not arouse suspicion. But this was just a disguise, because Audrey knew very well that since this lady could appear in her room quietly, her strength must be far beyond her imagination, and it was not realistic for her to escape from the door.

However, this does not mean that she will be slaughtered at will, because she has other backup plans...

The lady smiled slightly and said softly:
"Ms. Audrey, we are not enemies. Instead, we have mutual friends. I came to you to help our friends."

Audrey was stunned for a moment, and seemed to be convinced by the other party's words. She relaxed her vigilance a little and said hesitantly:

"Friend? Who?"

The lady slowly stood up and said softly:

"ember."

"..."

Audrey was silent for two seconds, her face showing no emotion, and it was unknown what she was thinking.

The lady took off her veil and smiled:

"Ms. Audrey, I think you can relax a little and don't need to be so nervous."

"Ah, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Carula, a witch."

"Witch?"

Audrey's spirit tensed again.

She had only known two witches so far. One was Triss, who seduced the third prince. She could be said to be forced. But the other witch attempted to create the "Backlund Great Smog" incident, which almost caused hundreds of thousands of casualties!

It was really hard for Audrey to believe that a witch was a good person, especially a witch who claimed to be a friend.

Carla easily saw through Audrey's thoughts, but she didn't mind. Instead, she smiled and said in a soft and pleasant voice:
"I think you misunderstood something. I am not a Beyonder of the Witch Path, but a Spectator Path like you. Of course, I am a little higher in Sequence than you."

She is the purest witch, and the purest depravity, but has nothing to do with the 'witch' path.

"Well, I think I can prove it..."

Carla stretched out her white index finger and lightly touched her lips, as if she was thinking about how to prove her identity.

But the next second, her wine-red eyes quietly turned into golden vertical pupils!

Behind her, a pair of pure black leather-covered wings quietly spread out, and some black scales appeared on her cheeks and neck.

Audrey's mind was slightly shaken. The golden vertical pupils were undoubtedly one of the symbols of the 'audience' path. And the membrane-covered wings were a symbol of the form of mythical creatures. The other party was a saint of the 'audience' path!
Audrey's expression quickly returned to calm, she took a deep breath and said:
"Embers in the Church of Steam."

"No, he's not here."

Carla folded her wings and shook her head:

"I entered the painting world of the Steam Church with him, but now he is missing and I am looking for him."

"Missing?" Audrey's heart was slightly moved.

"What did you think of?"

Carla keenly caught this fluctuation and asked.

Audrey remained silent. Although she concealed it well, it was far from enough. If she was facing a Beyonder from another path, even a Sequence 4 Saint might not be able to see her true thoughts. But if she was facing a Saint from the Audience path, then all her concealment would be in vain.

"Can't you see it yourself?" Audrey asked.

"Do you want me to do that?" Carla blinked.

Audrey remained silent. Of course she didn't want to do that, but she had no way to organize it, and she couldn't even be sure whether the other party had done so.

"just kidding."

Carla smiled and said, "I won't do anything to you. He hates us killing each other."

"Murder..."

Audrey looked a little strange. She knew that the 'he' in Carula's words referred to Yu Jin, but wasn't the slaughter a bit too much?
Audrey whispered:

"I don't know where the ember is."

She didn't believe the lady who called herself Carula, but she instinctively chose to believe Yu Jin's disappearance because it was not the first time. The two previous disappearances were once in the Sonia Sea and once in the God-Forsaken Land. And one of these two disappearances was also related to the painting world.

So even if Audrey heard that Yu Jin had disappeared again because of the painting world, she would not be surprised at all. But the problem was that before Yu Jin's disappearance, even he himself did not know where he would go, so it was even more impossible for Audrey to know.

"I know." Carla was not surprised by this. She nodded slightly and said in a complicated tone:
"But he will definitely come back to find you, so I have to stay with you."

Audrey felt a little strange. This suspected 'High-Sequence' Audience Path Beyonder could undoubtedly hide himself perfectly in front of her, a Sequence 7 'Psychologist'. But the other party did not seem to do so, because she could hear the resentment in his words...

Of course, the other party may have deliberately put on such an attitude just to gain her trust.

"As you wish."

Audrey was silent for a long time and then spoke softly.

Facing a demigod who was a spectator, she couldn't resist anyway.

Carla stared at the girl and suddenly winked playfully:

"Hey, Audrey, do you want to be my apprentice?"

"Eh?" Audrey was stunned. Isn't this topic a bit too broad?

Although there was a difference, Audrey declined without hesitation:
"No, let's not do that."

"That's it~"

Carla did not hide her disappointment and said regretfully: "What a pity, I thought..."

"Why?" Audrey always felt that the other party had bad intentions, and asked sharply.

"I thought I could finally have an excellent disciple."

Carla answered Audrey's questions seriously, without any sign of lying.

But Audrey didn't believe a word of it. She herself was a Beyonder from the Audience Path, and she knew that people from the Audience Path were the best at acting. Especially a demigod from the Audience Path, she couldn't believe even a single punctuation mark in what the other person said.

Audrey didn't dwell on this topic and changed the subject:
"Want some tea?"

"Black tea." Carla nodded slightly.

Audrey called out softly:
"Ms. Letina, could you please prepare two cups of black tea?"

"I'll get ready right now."

A clear female voice responded from outside the door.

Carla narrowed her eyes slightly. This treatment was much better than what she had received back then!
