Chapter 243: Heretical Ideals
Generally speaking, after breakfast, Xia Yu would continue to push the map.
After all, this is both his daily routine and his mission.
Although he holds the identity of a hunter king, he has not actually brought back a single fire king until now. Except for Rhodos who voluntarily stayed behind, the remaining four thrones are empty.
If you want to meet the First Fire, the power of the five Fire Kings is indispensable.
But let's wait today. Since the undead Xia Yu has confirmed that the fragments of the magic ring can be used in the soul world and can also inject vitality into the divine body, he also wants to use it.
For example, curing the eyes of the Fire Keeper and Irina. The blind girl might be Miyazaki's XP, but it is definitely not his XP. Maybe some people like that kind of imperfect beauty, but he doesn't.
If you can be complete , why should you be incomplete?
However, he had no way to deal with Rhodos's broken leg. It was not that he favored girls over boys, but Rhodos's situation was a bit complicated, and his broken body was still burning with a slight fire.
And no matter how tiny that tiny fire is, it is the remnant of the first fire that continues the world. The first fire is the fire of creation. He will not touch it unless he is sure.
If he accidentally caught fire, wouldn't that be a loss? So Rhodos could only endure it for the time being.
After apologizing to Rudos in his heart, Xia Yu went to the kitchen to find the fire keeper.
After he made the ingredients, somehow the Fire Keeper suddenly became interested in cooking. The porridge he drank this morning was cooked by the Fire Keeper herself.
Of course, this is a treatment unique to him. Breakfast for everyone else is prepared by robots.
If you want to cook for yourself, that's fine, but no one in the sacrificial site knows how to cook. After all, they are all undead without a sense of taste. Even if they know how to cook, they would have probably forgotten it long ago.
At this time, in the kitchen, the fire keeper was mixing cream with the little sister Irina.
Irina's dream is to become a fire keeper, so she envies the fire keeper who accompanies Xia Yu.
Although she is already Xia Yu's person and serves the heroic master Xia Yu, she still wants to become a member of the Fire Keepers, so she often comes to the current Fire Keeper to learn.
But the current Fire Keeper knows where the end of the Fire Keeper's road lies. For the naive Irina, she can only give vague answers to the question.
If possible, she didn't want to let this innocent and lovely girl embark on the path of a fire keeper, but she couldn't be cruel enough to deny the girl's dream.
So she could only use other things to make excuses, such as how to better serve Lord Ashes.
Fortunately, Irina was also grateful to Xia Yu for saving her . If she could serve him better, that would be worth learning.
And now, Irina is learning how to cook delicious food from the Fire Keeper. Although robots can also teach, Irina prefers to learn from the Fire Keeper, so that she can get closer to her goal.
"I'm sorry, Irina, I have something to do with the Fire Keeper. Can you guys pause for a moment?"
After arriving at the kitchen, Xia Yu saw the situation at a glance, so he stepped forward, touched the little nun's head and said.
Feeling the palm on her head, Irina blushed a little: "It's okay, hero, my affairs are not worth mentioning, your affairs are the most important."
In response to this, Xia Yu just smiled, then pulled the fire keeper out of the kitchen and returned to his room.
In the entire Chuanhuo KTV, everyone has his or her own exclusive room. After all, the underground space is very large, so three or four rooms are more than enough for one person.
Among them, the room he built for himself was the most solid. Not only were the materials soundproof, he also arranged magical spells specifically for protection.
Even a great sage who specializes in magic cannot see everything that happens in his room through magic. He still attaches great importance to privacy.
Feeling Xia Yu's eagerness, the Fire Keeper blushed slightly: "Lord Ashes, it's still daytime..."
"What's wrong with daytime? Time has no meaning in this shitty world anyway."
After casually replying, Xia Yu pulled the Fire Keeper to sit beside the bed, then waved his hand to close the door, and the magic spell also lit up, blocking out all external perception.
Feeling Xia Yu's movements, the Fire Keeper's face turned even redder. After all, she was too familiar with this prerequisite. Now she just hoped that Xia Yu could be gentler this time.
But this time, Xia Yu did not reach for her clothes first, but touched the silver crown on her head.
The silver crown is both a crown worn on the head and an eye mask covering the eyes, and it is also proof of being a fire keeper.
Fire keeper women must be blind, because if they had eyes, they would see the horrible betrayal, the world where fire no longer exists.
In this Age of Fire, anyone talking about the extinction of the First Fire is not allowed and may even result in death.
"Lord Ash?"
Feeling her crown being taken off, the Fire Keeper was a little confused. Did Lord Ash want to see her without her crown?
Looking at the fire keeper with her eyes closed, Xia Yu reached out and touched her face, and asked softly: "Do you want to have eyes? Do you want to get back the part you lost?"
After these words were spoken, the Fire Keeper's expression changed, but she quickly regained her composure and said seriously.
"Lord Ashes, thank you very much for your kindness, but for a fire keeper, having eyes is a taboo. If you give me a faint light, I will see the terrible betrayal - the world where fire no longer exists."
After saying this, the Fire Keeper was waiting for Xia Yu's scolding, because Ashes' mission was to spread fire, and her words were tantamount to denying Ashes' noble and great mission.
If she was killed, it would be her own fault, but she did not want to deceive the Lord Ashes whom she served. However, after waiting for a long time, the imagined curse did not come.
After a moment, the Fire Keeper said in disbelief, "Lord Ashes, is that world without fire the world you wish for?"
"No." Xia Yu shook his head, "But the Fire Transmission is definitely not the world I want. From the moment the First Fire was ignited, the direction of the world was wrong."
"Flames need fuel. If the fuel is lost, the flames are doomed to go out. The same is true for this world. I do not approve of passing on fire, nor do I approve of a dark world."
"I will change the world and find a way out of just spreading and extinguishing fire!"
Although Xia Yu said this calmly, the seriousness in his tone was so sincere. Listening to Xia Yu's words, the Fire Keeper was a little stunned.
It was the first time she knew that the Lord Ashes, whom she served, had such a great and rebellious ideal!
In the Age of Fire, is it really possible to walk a path that has nothing to do with fire?
The fire keeper didn't know, but she was willing to believe Xia Yu, not for any other reason, just because she was his fire keeper.
"...I understand, Master Xia Yu. I am your fire keeper and will follow your instructions. I will keep this matter deep in my heart and will not let anyone know."
