"You are right, Lord Frem. As the last generation of Light, His Highness the Prince does contain powerful power that is different from ordinary people. In every battle, he can always burst out amazing energy at the most critical moment. But now this power is not stable." Jerant said, "It is indeed necessary to use some opportunity to make him truly powerful. As long as he can reach the level of Silver Knight I have now, it will be very useful."
"Yes, Knight Gerant. I believe that as long as you are there, the Prince's swordsmanship and combat command abilities will not be much problem. But the growth of Dou Qi is not a matter of overnight. The ideal way to improve Dou Qi is to pass through - combat. Using combat as a trial, Dou Qi can be constantly stimulated." Frem said, "But in this way, Your Highness the Prince will fall into an extremely dangerous situation."
"That's right! Every outbreak of Joshua is related to the battle with the Knights of the Empire. But now Palsa may have known the whereabouts of His Highness the Prince. The enemies he faces will definitely be more cruel than before. Even a powerful opponent like Schroeder and Lei Quanzhang cannot kill a child. But if someone instructed by Palsa encounters His Highness the Prince, he will definitely have the purpose of killing him. Such a battle is not something that His Highness the Prince can deal with now." Jarant nodded lightly.
"So I thought of a place that can help His Highness the Prince and enable him to improve his strength as soon as possible." Frem thought for a while and said, "I also became a powerful fire-type magician through the experience here. Every generation of the Heirs of our Ika family must enter that place and pass the test before they are qualified to become the future patriarch of the Ika family."
"There is such a mysterious place in the territory of the Fire Kingdom?"
"Yes, this place is the legendary Temple of Flame." Frem showed a look of awe. "It is said that this temple was built by the God of Fire thousands of years ago, and is located in a mysterious canyon west of Coke Ridge. There are barriers set by the gods in the temple. People entering the temple will encounter various unexpected tests. When you can successfully walk out of this temple, your power has been perfectly improved."
"The temple built by the god of fire, one of the gods in the heavens, sounds incredible." Jarant shook his head vigorously.
"I also found it unbelievable at first, but when I entered the Temple of Flame, I found that it was all the same as it was." Frem recalled the scene back then, "It was filled with all kinds of dangers and challenges. These are probably the fighting aura left in the Battle of the Holy Demons. Perhaps our loving Goddess of Light was worried that the murderous aura left in the Battle of the Holy Demons would hurt the innocent, so he asked the God of Fire to use the barrier to seal them and build this temple."
"This Temple of Flames sounds like a very dangerous place." Jarant frowned, "Your Highness the Prince is underage yet. Will it be counterproductive if you go alone?"
"Knight Gerant, you can rest assured. The guards in the temple are all illusions left by the gods. Even if they are attacked strongly, they will not die because of it. At most, they will be unconscious for a period of time. Moreover, due to the special effects of the barrier, you will not affect your life without eating or drinking water. In short, it is the realm of God. All the trials you have undergone will make you qualitative leap yourself. Just..." Frem explained.
"What do you want to say, Lord Frem?"
"But if you can't break through these challenges, you may never be able to come out." Frem sighed, "A person's life span has always ends. I have seen many dead bones in the temple. These bones show signs of aging, which shows that they all died in the temple in the end. They have never been able to come out of the temple in their entire lives."
"Sir Frem, how long did it take you to successfully pass through the temple?" asked Gerant.
"Haha, it took me nearly ten years..."
"Ten years!?" Gerant's pupils suddenly dilated a lot, "Mr. Frem, with your strength, it will take so long to come out of the temple. If the prince is..."
"Knight Gerant, if His Highness the Prince is really the last generation of Light, I believe he will definitely pass the test."
"But..." Jarant wanted to speak but stopped.
"Apart from going to the Temple of Flame, we have no other way to help the Prince improve his strength." Frem said, "There was a strong man in the history of our Ika family who broke through the temple in just six years. We should have confidence in His Royal Highness."
"Maybe!" Jarant said after thinking, "It may be safer to let him practice in the temple than to stay in Zhuyan City to resist the invasion of the Empire. Of course, we still have to ask the Prince's opinion."
The next day, Frem and Jerant found Joshua.
"What? It's great to have a place that can help me improve my strength!" Joshua's face showed an excited expression when he heard the legend about the Temple of Flames.
"But the temple is also full of dangers and challenges. You can only walk out of the temple through your own feet." Jarant said, "We cannot be with you throughout the process. I wonder if you have the confidence to accept such a challenge!"
"Uncle Jarant, I'm already grown up. I think it's time to let myself deal with some problems independently." Joshua smiled.
"Hmph! Bragging, did you rely on Uncle Jarant to overcome the difficulties?" Heinar looked disdainful.
"Hmph, let's see. When I come out of the Temple of Flame, I will definitely become an excellent knight." Joshua glared at Hennaer.
"In the temple, in addition to strength and courage, you must be good at thinking and dealing with various emergencies." Frem said to Joshua, "The temple has five floors, and each floor has various difficulties waiting for you. When you break through to the fifth floor, you can enter the realm of God. When you walk out of the temple, I believe your strength will definitely be improved. But this process may be very long. Some people have never come out in their entire lives."
"Where did these people go?" Joshua asked curiously.
"Of course these people died in the temple in the end." Frem's eyes froze.
"Ah?" Joshua was startled, "What if I can't get out of it?"
"Hehe, you're so scared before you go. I think you'd better not go." Heinar smiled.
"Hmph, as long as you can come out alive, it doesn't matter even if it's decades. Then I can still appreciate your ugly appearance after becoming an old woman." Joshua grimaced at Hennaer.
"Hmph, you..." Heinar's face turned red.
"Joshua, Lord Frem spent ten years in the temple. Even if you are in your early twenties in another ten years, you are still very young!" Jelant comforted.
"But in this way, when will I see my father and mother?" Joshua looked worried.
"It's okay Joshua. Remember what I said to you?" Jarant said, touching Joshua's head. "When you become an excellent warrior, you will know your life experience. Your father and mother are great people, and I believe that one day you will become a great person to lead us to overthrow the rule of Palsa."
"Haha, Knight Gerant. Joshua is still young now. Don't put such pressure on him. Let's take a few days off and prepare to leave!" Frem smiled.
"What should I do?" Heinar suddenly shouted.
"It is said that Lord Heg and Lord Roger will come to Zhuyan City in a few days to celebrate our great victory, and you will be able to meet your father and mother at that time." Frem smiled.
"Oh, no!" Henar shouted depressedly, touching his forehead, "I'm going back to Mallory Island again."
"Hehe, you'd better go back to your island to be your princess. The outside world is not suitable for you!" Joshua smiled.
A few days later, Frem and Jerant started a new journey with Joshua. The Temple of Flame was located west of Coke Ridge, and the three of them headed towards their destination. Just as they were passing by Coke Ridge, they suddenly heard a cry for help.
"What do you want to do? Don't come here..."
"It sounds like a girl, and I feel like I've heard it somewhere." Joshua looked into the distance.
