Chapter 174 (1/2)
Womanizing Mage, Chapter 174: Mountain of swords and sea of flames
Long Yi and Feng Ling were welcomed into the imperial palace with the highest etiquette of Kobold clan. This so-called imperial palace naturally had big disparity compared to the imperial palace of the big country of Blue Waves Continent. This entire palace was built using stones, and there were practically no items inside this place. Everywhere in the walls, ground and ceilings were engraved with strange carvings. Among them, the largest engraving was that of flame. But it was understandable, a fire should be the most valuable treasure and a practical thing of Kobold clan. In this vast underground kingdom, throughout the year, they needed to rely on the flame to illuminate.
The two people were led to a s.p.a.cious stone room with nothing but a stone bed.
”Honorable guests, please stay here for few days, as for your companions, the patriarch has already ordered to search for them in the subterranean river.” That Kobold elder came and said to two of them.
Long Yi nodded his head, and suddenly recalled that this elder had stated that it had already been more than 1000 years since they last saw humans, in other words, more than 1000 years ago, they had seen humans. Does this mean that they had seen the people of Ice Palace and Raging Flame Villa? Then are they the one that built that secret room?
”Elder, do you know anything about the secret room with piled up dry bones above this place? We accidentally touched a mechanism of that place and were flooded to this place.” Long Yi asked, fixedly staring at the expression of this elder.
The expression of this elder stagnated. And his cloudy eyes suddenly shone and asked: ”Did you all really came from that secret room?”
Long Yi and kobold elder look face to face, and from his words, Long Yi understood that he knew about this secret room, or perhaps that secret room was truly built by kobolds. These kobolds definitely had some kind of relation with either Ice Palace or Raging Flame Villa. But it seems there is a larger chance for them to have relation with latter, didn't kobolds wors.h.i.+p flame?
”Yes, we were flooded out from there to the subterranean river, we also know that the dry bones in that secret room belongs to the people of Ice Palace and Raging Flame Villa, which is at that time's two big factions of Blue Waves Continent.” Long Yi indifferently said.
The kobold elder looked at Long Yi, then said in surprise: ”You knew about this? Can it be that these two factions still exist in Blue Waves Continent now?”
”They exist, but they are rarely known to anyone.” Long Yi nodded his head and said.
The kobold elder lowered his head, and had lost in thought expression. After a long time, he sighed and shaking his head, he said: ”Fire and Water are basically incompatible. Since the beginning, Fire G.o.d is our Kobold clan's spiritual symbol, and Raging Flame Villa represent Fire G.o.d in the world, so our Kobold clan naturally had strong mutual support with them. More than 1000 years ago, during that unparalleled war inside Illusory Magic Forest, not only the vitality of Ice Palace and Raging Flame Villa was greatly injured, our Kobold clan was also similarly not spared. The remains you saw inside that secret chamber are merely a portion, that's all. The other portions were completely annihilated with nothing left in that tragic fight.”
Long Yi and Feng Ling look face to face and shrugged their shoulder with a faint smile, Fire G.o.d? *** d.a.m.n Fire G.o.d, wasn't that just a gimmick of Raging Flame Villa? Ice Palace must have definitely declared itself as the representative of Ice G.o.d in this world, which was also a gimmick to deceive this crowd of the brainless kobold.
At this time, kobold elder pondered for a little while, then sighing, he raised his head and said: ”Honorable guests, please have a rest first, after your rest, we will talk about the current circ.u.mstance of Blue Waves Continent and our understanding.”
”No problem, but I still have a request, can we stroll around in your underground kingdom, we are very curious about it.” Long Yi said with a smile.
”You can, it's just that our underground kingdom has few restricted zone, there is a mortal danger if you enter there, so I will arrange few guards to follow you.” After speaking, this kobold elder retreated, leaving behind only Long Yi and Feng Ling in the room.
Long Yi turned to Feng Ling and fixedly staring at her, he evilly smiled.
”Why are you looking at me like this, so hateful.” Seeing the pa.s.sionate gaze of Long Yi, Feng Ling beautiful face became rosy.
”Feng Ling, Feng Ling, you deceived me for so long and severely injured my pure heart, now you say yourself, how will you compensate me?” Long Yi smirked and said.
Feng Ling punched Long Yi and said angrily: ”You did all that to me, and still want me to compensate you?”
”What did I do to you? How come I never know it?” Long Yi shrugged his shoulder and said with a smile.
Feng Ling pouted, then said: ”You are not admitting it, then it would be best if you don't admit it later too.”
”Not admit, I will resolutely not admit it.” Long Yi innocently said.
Feng Ling lowered her head, then firmly stamped her leg. Although she knew that Long Yi was joking, but her heart still felt somewhat unhappy.
Seeing the displeased appearance of Feng Ling, Long Yi smirked and said: ”Okay, I'm admitting it, but I always feel that that kind of compensation is still not enough ah.”
The beautiful face of Feng Ling became bright red, then turning around, she said in a mosquito like voice: ”Then what do you desire?”
