Chapter 337: Soul Fire
Being held sideways and swaying in the sky, Leon was able to see part of the surrounding environment.
This should be an island. They should have been lying on the beach before. Below them was the blue sea, the green forest, and flowers dotted everywhere. There seemed to be a large building on the island. Overall, the scenery looked very nice.
After being caught by the dragon's claws and swaying for a while, the two immobile guys were thrown into a lake.
The little white dragon Kualis obviously didn't like the two uninvited guests, and it directly sent Leon and Aigrim into a free fall.
Before falling into the water, Leon saw his reflection in the mirror-like surface of the lake.
Almost all of his hair was standing up, but his face was not as burnt as imagined. It was just bloodless and there seemed to be some small wounds on his face.
The enchanted armor on his body had been shattered, and the skin all over his body seemed to be damaged.
However, it looks like there are no missing parts.
Aigram looked relatively miserable. It still had the horrible appearance of being without skin, but its entire body was no longer red flesh and blood, but dark brown - it looked like bacon...
The black armor on its body was almost completely damaged, and some parts of the armor were even fused with the body.
It's just a quick glance when falling from the sky, there's no way to see it carefully.
Then, two splashes of water appeared on the mirror-like calm lake surface.
The lake water is very clean and Li Ang can see everything in the lake clearly.
In the center of the lake there is a large crystal ball half a person's height. It is a very smooth crystal ball and it seems to be floating on the lake, with half of it exposed above the water.
There were some gem-like fragments at the bottom of the lake - they looked very much like dragon tears, emitting a faint sapphire light, filling the bottom of the lake with magnificent light.
The inertia of free fall caused Li Ang to sink several meters to the bottom of the lake, and then slowly floated to the surface, but because he could not move, he floated face down on the surface of the water...
This posture certainly made it impossible to breathe, but Leon did not feel suffocated.
"Am I really dead? ... Died from being struck by lightning? That doesn't sound good..."
Li Ang looked at the faint blue light at the bottom of the lake and thought with some regret.
"Dead? Humph... Boy, after death the soul will leave the body... In heaven, it is normal for the body to be unable to move..."
Aigram seemed to have determined that this was heaven.
It floated up slower than Li Ang, and it seemed that it had indeed been electrocuted into a piece of bacon.
"Do you really think this is heaven? I don't think so... Aigram, I think you're going to be in trouble soon - that white dragon seems to dislike you..."
Li Ang remembered what Xiaolong said before - this guy has no skin and doesn't look like a good guy.
Sure enough, although Leon looked down and couldn't see what was happening, Xiaolong's voice soon came over: "Althea... This is a very evil soul... It's a demon!"
"Demons? Aren't they sealed in the abyss? How did they appear on earth? And... even though it has no skin and is burnt, it looks like a human..."
Althea asked doubtfully.
"It devoured other people's souls and occupied other people's bodies... This! It... It has devoured countless souls! Countless!"
The little dragon became more and more excited as it spoke, and the sound of its wings flapping could be heard. I didn't know what memory of Aigram the little dragon saw, but it seemed a little frightened.
"Possessing another's body? Like... the Oracle entering our consciousness? Does this demon have the power of a god?"
Althea was also surprised.
"I don't know, probably different... This evil soul is very powerful. It's best to seal it up before it loses its magic power..."
The little dragon muttered, it really didn't like Aigram.
"Wait... Kualis, you want to seal it in the temple? But if the evil soul defiles the temple, will the gods be angry?"
Althea's voice sounded hesitant .
"Wasn't it okay to let the king in last time? The gods are merciful, and demons shouldn't appear on earth, right?"
Kualis was a little hesitant, but he seemed to be a dragon with a strong sense of justice...
"Wait...what is it going to do? This...isn't this heaven? Why are they talking about the earth...Ah!!!"
Aigram showed signs of nervousness, and it was obvious that it realized something was wrong.
Then there was a sound of flapping wings.
Leon could feel that Aigram's emotions disappeared.
After a while, Leon's sight turned around - he was turned over, floating on the lake with his back facing the sky.
In front of me is a huge dragon head.
Kualis leaned in closer. "This man has been here before... I remember him, but I can't understand his memory at all."
Althea sat on Kualis's wing, looked down, and nodded: "He has the blood of my people... a very close bloodline."
"He looks like he's dead..."
Kualis put his nose close to Leon's face and sniffed: "It seems that he is dead...but his soul has not left his body. This is very strange."
"That means he's not dead..."
Althea patted the little dragon's neck and said, "You were too rude just now. He may be related to my people. Send me over to take a look."
A beautiful and extremely familiar face appeared in front of Li Ang.
Exactly the same as Wendy indeed!
Then, Althea untied Leon's tattered armor and clothes.
In other words, Li Ang couldn't move now, otherwise he might have started shouting "molest"...
But Althea stared at Leon's chest for a moment, then dipped her fingers in the lake water and drew runes on Leon's chest.
This feeling seems familiar...
Li Ang remembered that Wendy seemed to have done the same thing to him.
But Althea's understanding and familiarity with runes were obviously much higher than Wendy's. After just a dozen seconds, Leon felt as if he was starting to fall - just like falling from the sky into the lake just now.
Then he felt the touch.
My whole body is tight and every part of my body hurts.
"Ahem...what is this place?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ang reacted - he could move, and these were the sounds he made with his throat.
I just felt weak all over, probably with many injuries on my body, and my neck was aching so much that I didn't dare to move at all.
He tried to move his hands, and his fingers could move, which meant he was conscious again.
Moreover, I could feel the gentle touch of the lake water in my hands.
Li Ang tried to touch the lake water beside him to see if his arm was broken, but when he touched it, he touched something soft.
The touch was good, and he pinched it subconsciously...
"snort!"
“Tons… tons tons…”
Althea snorted, and then Leon sank into the lake again - with Althea holding his head down.
This time it's not like falling into the water just now...
My body was unable to react just now, so falling into the calm lake would not be a problem, and I wouldn't even choke on the water.
But this time, Li Ang drank a lot of water...
"Hey? What's wrong? Althea...are you planning to revive him first and then kill him?"
The little dragon Kualis asked in confusion with his eyes wide open.
"...I'm just educating the younger generation. He won't die."
Althea said in a somewhat annoyed tone.
Indeed, for this elf who has lived for who knows how many years, let alone Leon, even King Kavala of Pendes is a junior in front of Althea.
“Coocoo…cooco…”
Li Ang's head was still pressed into the water and bubbles were coming out.
He had no strength to resist. After drinking a bellyful of water, when he felt he was about to suffocate to death, his head was finally pulled out of the water.
Kualis looked at Leon with sympathy.
Althea's face was slightly red, but her tone was still gentle: "Child, are you awake now?"
She could feel that the human Leon had the blood of the Noldor, so she called him child.
"Ahem... Althea... Your name is Althea, right?"
Li Ang coughed for a while, knowing that he seemed to have pinched the wrong place just now, so he asked with a smile - he really had to be nicer to his savior, because his life was now in someone else's hands...
"You know my name? Where did you hear it? ...My people remember me? They shouldn't remember me..."
Althea suddenly panicked.
"Just now... this... it just called your name. Senior Althea, I have a friend, a young Noldor elf, who looks exactly like you."
Li Ang glanced at Xiaolong, then turned the topic to the appearance of Wendy and Althea.
He really felt that this was too coincidental, so coincidental that it didn't seem like a coincidence.
Althea certainly wouldn't think this was a clichéd excuse to chat up someone, because no one had ever chatted up to her before...but she didn't know how to respond - she had lived alone here for too long, and she didn't know how to respond to someone who looked like her.
"Her name is Wendyllfu... the sixteenth direct descendant of Avadane."
Li Ang continued.
"You are close to her? How much do you know about the Noldor?"
Althea smiled. She was relieved to hear that her brother's clan had been passed down for sixteen generations, and she no longer minded Leon's dirty tricks just now.
Elves grow slowly, reaching adulthood at the age of seventy-two, so a generation is approximately one hundred years.
"I do know a lot... Perhaps there is no one in the world who knows more than I do..."
Li Ang laughed.
One day later…
Kualis and Leon squatted together in front of the fire outside the temple.
Seen from behind, the fat little white dragon looked ten times the size of Li Ang. But as it squatted beside Li Ang, staring at the fire and drooling, it looked like a fat cat begging for food.
"It smells so good... Can I eat it now? I can't help it..."
Kualis's saliva had already flowed a long string, and part of the saliva dripped onto the ground and turned into crystals. It was estimated that this thing would be a priceless treasure if taken out...
"No, no, it's not cooked yet..."
Leon waved his hand to push away Kualis's big head that was getting closer and closer, and continued to roast a few rabbits on the fire with a heavy heart.
On this day, Leon told Althea the story of himself and the Noldor elves, and his plan to bring the Noldor elves into human society to live together.
Althea was very pleased. With Leon's current status and position, it was inevitable that the entire Kingdom of Sarleon would accept the Noldor elves.
The Kingdom of Sarleon is the central country of the continent of Pendor. As long as the Kingdom of Sarleon accepts the existence of elves, other countries will also accept it.
The Noldor gained new development because of Leon, and the entire tribe had hope. Althea was naturally very happy, and her attitude towards Leon became more and more kind.
However, the question now is...how is Li Ang going to go back?
Everyone can imagine that if Leon doesn't go back, the Noldor elves will probably be in big trouble...
However, although Althea can rely on the magic of the crystal ball and Kualis to summon the souls of her people through dragon tears, she and Xiaolong don't know how to send them back to the continent of Pendor...
They didn't even know where Pendor was...
Li Ang had no choice but to stay on the island for the time being.
In fact, life on this island is really comfortable - there are mountains, water, lakes, forests, flowers and plants.
The scenery is pleasant and the climate is also very good.
There are fish in the river, wild beasts in the forest, and countless fruits and vegetables. The lake water is clear and sweet, so there is no need to worry about food and drink.
Kualis likes to eat rabbits. After knowing that Leon has some connection with the Noldor elves, he went to catch several fat rabbits and brought them back to "entertain the guests".
But Li Ang doesn't eat raw meat, so he made a barbecue.
Although there are no seasonings, just using various fruits as seasonings is much more fragrant than raw meat...
As a result, Kualis quickly evolved from a little white dragon with profound magical powers into a pitiful big pet.
In fact, Li Ang’s mind was not on roasting the rabbit at all. He was always watching the scene inside the temple.
The temple has two doors, engraved with the same patterns as the Gate of the Abyss, but more detailed.
That is indeed the pattern of a galaxy.
Inside the temple are rough stone walls with some braziers and torches on them.
Li Ang had used the largest brazier to light the fire before - the fire starter had been destroyed, and he was now covered in wounds, so of course he didn't have the strength to rub wood to make fire.
But after entering the temple, I found that it was a brazier made of stone, and the surrounding torches were also made of stone. There was nothing combustible, but all the fires were burning all the time...
Of course Li Ang could realize that this thing was definitely not an ordinary fire...
If nothing unexpected happens, the black flame on the torch in the corner should be Aigram, right?
However, eating is the most important thing in the world. No matter if it is the fire of the soul or not, as long as it can ignite wood, Li Ang has to get fire on the spot...
But just after Li Ang put the firewood into the brazier, an old voice suddenly appeared in his mind: "Boy, how did you get here?"
The voice was familiar, but this question was a bit difficult. Li Ang was not sure how it came from...
However, I can guess it.
Perhaps it was because the energy of lightning activated the gate to the abyss, or the gate to heaven...
Whatever the door was, it did have the ability to teleport. I and Aigram should have been teleported when the lightning struck, and did not bear the full lightning. Otherwise, if we had been hit by such a thunderbolt, we would have died miserably.
I just don't know how far this place is from the continent of Pendor.
"Boy, if you want to go back... I can help you. But you have to take me back... Come to me at night."
When Leon took the fire and left the temple, the old voice said this.
Afterwards, Li Ang felt quite uneasy.
He didn't know whether he should listen to the voice and go look for it at night - Aigram was so powerful, but the black flame was less than one-tenth of the brazier. One could imagine how terrifying the owner of the vigorous soul in the brazier must have been when he was alive.
