Angel stood on an artificial path dug by the volcano wall, silently looking at Toby who was "bathing" in the volcanic lava below...well, to be precise, it was Toby in the form of a gryphon.
The elemental tide has not faded yet, and the rain of fire from the sky is still falling.
So, Toby was taking a bath and enjoying the shower at the same time, looking very comfortable.
At Angel's feet, there was a severed hand, it was Dangros. It was rubbing against the edge of the trail, looking down into the volcanic magma pool, all its eyes were on Toby.
There was obvious admiration in the eyes made of flames.
Dangros's five fingers were still curling and straightening, as if he were worshiping Toby.
In the sky above the volcanic magma pool, there is a tall "devil" figure suspended, with a group of flame sparrows flying around the "devil".
This demon is none other than the new king of the Land of Fire - Demonic Fire Midir.
Demon Fire Midir was giving orders to the Flame Birds at this time, and after that, the Flame Birds dispersed one after another.
Demonic Fire Mediel landed gracefully, hovering in front of Angel, and bowed slightly: "I have asked my subordinates to explain to Phoenix and the others that the previous conflict was just a misunderstanding caused by Dangelos' ignorance.
.”
"Please allow me to introduce myself..."
Faced with the graceful and polite actions of Demon Fire Midiel, Angel also responded with corresponding courtesy. However, his heart was still confused at this moment, because he did not expect that the tit-for-tat situation would take such a turn for the worse.
The change.
Things start from half an hour ago——
Ermi created a chaos that even Demon Fire Midiel could not react to. Angel knew that the time had come, and immediately chose to activate the illusion node, and used a mental illusion to confuse Demon Fire Midiel.
Ermi, on the other hand, returned to Angel's shadow and retreated with Angel.
The art of mental illusion is based on the thoughts of Demon Fire Midiel, so the "Elmi" seen by Demon Fire Midiel can make the response it wants in its heart, and it can really turn Demon Fire into a magic fire for a while.
Midiel was fooled.
It also gave Angel a chance to retreat.
Angel's soul immediately left his body, his gravity veins were fully opened, and he ran more than ten miles away in less than half a minute.
Angel's original plan was to find a hidden place, let Ermi turn into flames, and spread them all around him. Then he would turn on the illusion to be perfectly hidden.
In fact, Angel did the same.
But what no one expected was that just after Angel became invisible, Toby, who had been obsessed with absorbing the energy of fire and could not extricate himself, entered a strange state in a trance. When Angel was not paying attention, it
It flew out of the bag gracefully, flew into the air... and turned into a furious griffon.
As soon as it incarnates, the burning mane on the gryphon's neck immediately activates the rain of fire falling on it.
A series of fire explosions appeared around Toby.
Toby himself was fine, and even rolled lazily in the air quite happily, but this behavior shocked Angel.
He quickly flew into the air, wanting to see Toby's condition.
As a result, when he got closer, he discovered that Toby had not yet woken up, and was completely unconsciously using his gryphon form to absorb the flame energy from the surrounding elemental tides.
Although unconscious, the energy level of the flames around Toby was increasing at a rapid rate.
When Angel saw this, he immediately realized that this was an energy level jump in the form of Toby's Griffin!
In other words, due to being washed away by the elemental tide, the griffin's flame energy took on a new look, allowing it to enter the breakthrough stage.
Just like the wizard's promotion, Toby's breakthrough cannot be disturbed by the outside world, otherwise it will easily fail, and it may even backfire on himself.
Angel originally wanted to wake Toby up, but now he didn't dare to touch it anymore and could only stay by Toby's side.
But his heart was very bitter.
"If you don't break through sooner, you won't break through later, but you break through at this time..." Although Angel knew, this can't be blamed on Toby, because Toby himself didn't feel that the gryphon form would enter the breakthrough state, it was entirely due to an accident.
——The tide of elements directly pushed Toby to the edge of breakthrough.
Seeing that the situation was a foregone conclusion and could not be stopped temporarily, Angel could only find a way to protect Toby.
However, this place is not far from the place where he fought with Demon Fire Midiel before. If it can be hidden, that's it. But now Toby's situation cannot cooperate with hiding, so in just a few breaths, he saw through the heart.
Midir, the magic fire of illusion, appeared in front of them with Dangelos, who was cursing.
Seeing a powerful enemy coming, Angel sighed and started to activate the magic whirlpool in his body. This time he not only had to resist the foreign enemies, but also protect Toby. Earl Mi alone might not be able to do it, he had to do it in person.
.
At least, nothing can happen to Toby until he breaks through.
In the blink of an eye, Angel had already simulated various situations in his mind, how to respond to the enemy, how to defend, what to do if the enemy targeted Toby... Angel had to consider almost every situation that could be imagined.
, and be sure of it. After all, this is related to Toby's safety.
When both Angel and Earl were in a state of high tension, something unexpected happened to them.
Although the Demonic Fire Mediel came with great force, what was strange was that when he got closer, he suddenly stopped breathing. He looked at Toby quietly in the distance, and then hovered a hundred meters away without any movement or sound.
.
On the contrary, Dangros, who was holding the wings of Demon Fire Mediel, said in a trembling voice when he saw Toby: "This is, first... ancestor?!"
Dangros pointed at Toby, who was sleeping soundly in the air, with unprecedented shock in his eyes.
Angel also didn't know how Dangros recognized Toby as his "ancestor", but it was precisely because of this that Demon Fire Midiel showed kindness to Angel.
Demon Fire Mediel did not take action against Angel and Ermi, and even quietly waited for Toby to advance.
After Toby was successfully promoted, Angel did not sense any malice in Demon Fire Midiel. The other party seemed to have something to say to him. After thinking for a moment, Angel finally followed Demon Fire Midiel.
The current volcano.
…
Under the crater.
After Demon Fire Mediel introduced herself, she waved her hand gently, and Dangros, who was lying on the edge and secretly watching Toby "bathe", was caught in mid-air.
Dangolos struggled and screamed angrily, but the demonic fire Midir had no intention of letting go of it.
"This is your mistake, you have to tell this..." Demon Fire Mediel looked at Angel, as if thinking about how to call him.
"Just call me Pat."
Demon Fire Mediel pinched Dangross: "Apologise to Mr. Pat."
After struggling to no avail, Dangros could only bow to Angel: "I'm sorry, it was my ignorance that led me to recognize Mr. Pat as a spy..."
Although Dangros seemed to have succumbed to the power of Demon Fire Mediel before he came to apologize, Angel could tell that on the way to the volcano, Dangros tried to find topics on his own initiative many times, using
The vague way of omitting the previous admission of the wrong spy shows that it has already realized that it has admitted the wrong person. It just doesn't want to admit it because of face, but it also feels a little guilty.
Now, it seems that it is forced by the demon fire Midir, but Dangros is willing to do so.
Angel didn't have much ill will towards the fool Dangros. Now that he had returned to peace from the confrontation, he no longer dwelled on these trivial matters, and accepted Dangros' apology with a nod.
When Dangros saw this, the pressure in his heart was relieved, and he immediately changed from his coy state back to the naughty kid he once was, and said to Angel: "We are even, Gullada and Phoenix were defeated by you.
, even my good friend Crooklo used his natural ability to self-destruct once, and it would take at least several years to recover, so Lin Lin finally came down, and we are the ones who suffered."
Demon Fire Mediel flicked him aside and threw Dangros aside: "After you apologize, go back. Your teacher Magu is still waiting for you."
Dangros raised his middle finger and little finger and shook them vigorously: "No, I don't want to leave, my ancestors are here!"
After Dangros finished speaking, he wanted to jump into the volcano's magma pool, but was kicked away by the Demon Fire Midir. Dangros was not discouraged, but no matter what he did, he could not escape from the Demon Fire Midiel.
Flying kick.
In the end, Dangros stopped jumping into the volcanic lava, and instead ran to the other side and picked up Angel's ankle.
In its view, Angel and Toby are friends. As long as he holds Angel tightly, he will always have a chance to get close to Toby.
Angel also had the urge to kick this naughty kid away, but the aristocratic etiquette made him restrain himself. He just summoned a light blue magic hand and pinched Dangros down.
Dangros didn't even struggle, he was just being twisted by the magic hand.
Angel then turned to look at Demon Fire Midiel: "His Royal Highness, the new king, do you know what ancestor Dangelos is talking about?"
Because of the so-called "ancestors", Demon Fire Midiel did not attack them before, and even showed kindness. Angel was curious as to what was going on here.
Before Demon Fire Midiel could speak, Dangros said excitedly: "I will tell you, I will tell you! My ancestors must tell me!"
After Dangelos seized the right to speak, he began to speak of the so-called ancestors in highly complimentary terms.
That's what Dangros was talking about before - Carlo Monchis.
Kalomunchis is a flaming gryphon that is burning with blazing fire, has the body and claws of a lion, and the head and wings of an eagle.
As for the relationship between Carlo Monchis and Dangros... it's very delicate.
In Dangros's description, it was born from the hill where Kalomunzis was buried, so it inherited Kalomunzis' will of fire and was a descendant of Kalomunzis.
But to Angel's ears, this was more like someone who was born in a humble background but forced himself to be close to his ancestors.
Of course, Angel thought so, but did not say it out loud. After all, the new king, Demon Fire Midiel, did not deny it. As an outsider, he was even less qualified to comment.
That's all Dangros knows. It doesn't even know the birth or experience of Carlo Monchis. All it repeats is the praise and worship of its ancestors.
Angel had no choice but to turn his head and look at Demon Fire Midiel, waiting for its supplement.
Demon Fire Mediel did not disappoint him, and the first sentence he extended was a useful piece of information: "Karomunchis is not an elemental creature, it is a real flame gryphon from outside the sky.
"
Not an elemental creature? Or from outside?!
Angel knew very well that there were no birth records of griffins in the Southern Territory, so this griffon definitely did not come from the Southern Territory. Moreover, it was unlikely that the griffin came here for no reason, and it was most likely brought in by someone.
of.
"The savior brought him here?"
A glimmer of light flashed through the narrow slits of Demon Fire Mediel's eyes: "Yes, just like today, Carlo Menchis was also brought in by a human."
"You know I'm human?" Angel captured a point of information.
Demon Fire Mediel nodded and did not deny it.
Dangros was curious and asked what human beings were, but no one paid attention to it.
"Have you met other humans?" Angel asked further.
Demon Fire Midir shook his head: "In our world, except for the savior who came from the sky, there are no more human beings. You are the second human being to come to this world."
This is what Demon Fire Midiel said, but Angel doesn't really believe it. Even if no humans have come after the fusion of the planes, there may be humans who have explored this world before the fusion of the planes. The footprints of wizards are all over the world.
, this is not just talk, it’s just that these elemental creatures don’t know.
Angel did not continue to dwell on the topic of humans, and signaled Demon Fire Mediel to continue talking about Carlo Menchis.
"Due to the annihilation disaster, all elemental creatures above the monarch level have basically disappeared. At that time, various regions were in extreme chaos, so the savior from outside the world asked Carlo Mengzis to manage it as the temporary king."
"Later, monarchs were born in various places, and Carlo Menchis handed over his authority."
Carlo Menchis was actually already old when he was sent here, and he died in this area not long after.
But during the period when Carlo Menchis was the temporary king, the entire tidal world was developing vigorously, so the monarchs in most regions respected Carlo Menchis.
Perhaps it was for this reason that Dangros, who was "born in a humble way," forced himself to seek relatives. This was Angel's idea.
At this time, Angel also understood the status of Carlo Menchis in the tidal world. No wonder Toby was able to stop the attack immediately after appearing in the form of a griffon.
Angel secretly sighed in his heart: If he had known this, why would he have bothered so much before?
However, just by swiping Tobi's face, can the Demonic Fire Midiel immediately change the direction of the situation? Angel actually still has some doubts about this.
Because when Angel wanted to explain that the spies were a misunderstanding when he met Demon Fire Midiel for the first time, Demon Fire Midiel's answer at that time seemed to indicate that it knew it was a misunderstanding, and also provided the basis for the subsequent "self-introduction"
"Leave some room.
It seems that the current situation has been foreseen.
Angel didn't think that Demon Fire Midiel knew in advance that Toby could transform into a gryphon. There should be other reasons.
Since he couldn't figure it out, Angel simply asked directly:
"His new king's sudden change of attitude should not only be because of the gryphon, right?"
