Water Mage in the Flame Realm-Chapter 366 - 354: Frankly, Your Proposal Is Utterly Idiotic...

Chapter 366: Chapter 354: Frankly, Your Proposal Is Utterly Idiotic...

Andrew stared blankly at the drop of blood that seemed to still contain life and vitality. Unconsciously, two lines of tears flowed down his cheeks.

A thick sadness, along with anger, intertwined, surged to the forefront of his mind.

But this was not Andrew’s own emotion.

It was the intense emotional fluctuation emanating from the "Water God Mark" at his brow!

The emotion seemed to contain a thousand words, but Andrew couldn’t see clearly or hear distinctly.

At this moment, what Andrew clearly understood was: "It’s this thing! It turns out it’s because of this drop of blood! No wonder this Holy Son Liek previously gave me an illusion similar to ’the aura of President Beiru before negotiating with the Royal Court’! But the real similarity isn’t between Liek and President Beiru, but this drop of blood! This drop of blood and the Warm Fire Order that President Beiru hadn’t yet consumed before the Royal Court negotiations, as well as Barbara’s Warm Fire Order, the aura is almost exactly the same!"

Yes, the drop of blood in Liek’s hand, in terms of aura, is exactly like a Warm Fire Order.

Moreover, the fluctuation and vitality it exudes far surpasses a Warm Fire Order!

"You know, it’s said that in the far, far-off ancient times, our world was very cold, completely unlike this dry and hot condition now."

This was something Barbara casually mentioned when they were embracing after the "Water and Fire United" event with Barbara at the Royal Court. "It’s said that in ancient times, the strongest race in the world were the ancestors of the Royal Court’s people, the Ice Pattern Titan race. Humans were very weak back then because they couldn’t even perform basic heating, barely surviving under the struggles of hunger and cold.

Until a great figure emerged among the human race, who, in extreme cold and despair, first created the power of Flame Magic, driving away the severe cold. And that type of Flame Magic that brought warmth to people was the original Warm Fire Magic.

The great figure who created Warm Fire Magic shared his magic cultivation method with everyone, finally leading the human race to grow strong. In this process, he also became stronger and eventually became the ’Fire God’.

It’s rumored that the Warm Fire Order from our Commerce Association is actually condensed from the immortal blood left by that Fire God!"

Andrew remembered listening carefully at that time—as if listening to a myth or legend, he didn’t take it particularly seriously.

Especially the saying that "the Warm Fire Order is actually the blood left by the Fire God", Andrew didn’t take it to heart.

"But this time, I might have been completely wrong."

At this moment, Andrew stared firmly at the drop of blood in Liek’s hand, feeling wave after wave of aura from the blood that far surpassed Catherine, far surpassed the three great Earth Fire Scholars, far surpassed that giant monster crab, and even... far surpassed President Beiru in the invincible state after burning a Warm Fire Order. That aura, strictly speaking, wasn’t related to power but was an... divinity that Andrew had never experienced before! At this moment, Andrew had no choice but to believe Barbara’s words!

"Hmm? Why are you crying?" Liek’s voice came.

Andrew was startled, coming back to his senses, only to realize subconsciously his face was already full of tears.

"From your reaction, you’ve seen this thing, haven’t you?" Liek stared at Andrew, his voice trembling slightly with excitement, "Do you... do you know what it truly is?"

Andrew silently wiped away the tears on his face, coldly meeting Liek’s gaze, and after a moment, nodded: "Yes, I roughly know what this thing is."

He didn’t deny it, because the tears earlier had already provided the answer.

More importantly, Andrew didn’t want to deny it.

At this moment, a wave of anger surged in Andrew’s heart, this time it belonged to him— 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Judging from the reaction of the "Water God Mark" just now, the owner of the Water God Mark, which is the Water God, most likely knew the owner of that drop of blood, which is the Fire God, back then.

One dispelling cold and bringing warmth to people, the other controlling water sources, which are the source of all life, led ancient humans to thrive together. This close connection and bond exists even today, which is the Water and Fire United between him and Barbara.

However, something must have happened with the Fire God and the Water God, some extremely bad things. The Water Mages led by the Water God had no choice but to escape to the Outer Battlefield, barely surviving to this day. Those who inherited Warm Fire Magic became the Warm Fire Commerce Association, retreating to the east of the Flame Realm.

The ones who initially harmed the Fire God and Water God were almost certainly the Dragon Race. The terrifying dragon-shaped scar on the chest of the Frost Witch inside the ice coffin beneath the Royal Court Snow Mountain is the evidence.

And nowadays, behind the Magic Guild, there’s a high probability that a dragon is hidden!

Even if the Magic Guild isn’t an accomplice from those years, it is certainly a puppet of the culprits back then today.

The Fire God’s blood has actually fallen into the hands of an Earth Fire Mage from the Magic Guild?!

As an Earth Fire Mage, Liek absolutely cannot truly wield the power of this drop of Fire God Essence Blood.

He doesn’t even know the origin of the blood, it seems he just accidentally obtained it.

Liek only borrowed a part of the blood’s power and with a Tier Four identity exhibited a strength of up to Tier Seven.

But this drop of blood doesn’t belong to him!

This is the blood shed by the ancestors of the Warm Fire Commerce Association!

It belongs to the Warm Fire Commerce Association!

Thinking of this, Andrew once again looked at the Fire God Blood in the other’s palm, with a trace of sharp aura in his eyes.

Swish! Liek closed his palm, putting away the blood.

This First Saint Son of the Magic Guild took a deep breath, trying to control his excited and ecstatic emotions, then said: "Tell me, the origin of this thing, and... your secret! I’ve already shared my secret, now it’s your turn! If you agree to help me, as I said earlier, I can introduce you to my superior, he is the true master of this Outer Battlefield and a reasonable person, he will welcome smart people like you who want to abandon darkness for light! But..."

Saying this, Liek’s voice turned cold, staring coldly at Andrew’s eyes at close distance, "...but if you don’t know what’s good for you, refusing my sincerity and goodwill, there’s no need to wait for the reinforcements I called to arrive, I can kill you here and now!"

Liek sat cross-legged on the water surface, one hand always behind his waist.

Sometime, a delicate flaming dagger appeared in his hand.

The dagger’s tip, however, disappeared, or rather, it entered the void.

When the dagger’s tip emerged from the void again, it was already at the back of Andrew’s head, quietly hovering there, pointing at the vital point on the back of Andrew’s neck.

This method of traversing the void using Fire Magic was something Liek’s Desolate Language Avatar had used before.

Now being deployed by his real form, it’s one notch more advanced.

But this time Andrew knew very well: "This is definitely not Liek’s own magical accomplishments! Earth Fire Magic has great destructive power, but compared to Warm Fire Magic, it lacks agility and definitely cannot have such a method to traverse the void!

This is entirely the magical power of that drop of ’Fire God Blood’! This is... the method that only the top Warm Fire Magic could have!"

"You..." Andrew thought for a while, then spoke again, "You mentioned earlier, that superior of yours, the true ruler of this Outer Battlefield, is —?"

Liek’s face brightened with joy, but inside he was sneering, thinking so he is a cowardly rat intent on surrendering, while on the outside laughing, "You want to meet our boss, brother? No problem! The wise one bends with the times, I’ll introduce you in a while."

However, Andrew shook his head: "It’s entirely unnecessary to introduce."

Liek was stunned, his eyes suddenly turned cold: "What do you mean?"

"I mean, I don’t need your introduction, I never intended to be a traitor, you and your people misunderstood." Andrew said seriously looking into Liek’s eyes, "As for the so-called transaction you proposed—it’s absolutely terrible! If there’s nothing else I can do, I can only refuse you."
