Chapter 62
The announcement from Demon King City was of course a play, and it was a decision that Xi Zheng and Ling En had discussed in advance.
From Ayla, Xi Zheng and Ling En learned about the weakness of the Lord of Ice and Snow, which is that he always hates people very much.
Probably because of this, when the Lord of Ice and Snow descended, he chose to descend in the sparsely populated Gala Shrine, and sealed it with ice and snow. Shrouded, there is no way for ordinary outsiders to get close.
Even the waiters who were originally guarding the shrine have now been dismissed and have gone to various parts of the mainland.
Before, Xi Zheng always believed that the other party did this because he had other important plans, but after learning about this matter, he realized that there were other reasons for this.
If this is the case, then things become much easier to resolve.
Speaking of other conditions, maybe they are not so easy to meet, but if it is manpower, he happens to have a lot here.
There are so many that it is a bit overwhelming, and this group of people is not afraid of death.
To deal with the Lord of Ice and Snow who hates crowds, it is a matter of course to use crowd tactics, and it is rumored that as long as his soul is burned with the divine fire of the king's city surrounded by crowds, he can be expelled forever.
The sacred fire is a treasure enshrined in the royal palace of the Kingdom of Turance for generations. It is called the flame passed down from the gods. According to legend, it is a precious thing retrieved by the first generation of brave men who killed the demon king and defended the continent of Ideen.
Of course, this brave man is actually the ancestor of Ling En, and the family responsible for guarding the flames is also Ling En.
As the last bloodline of the family, Ling En was supposed to be the son of the sacred glory, who stayed in the palace to guard the divine fire and was admired by all the people in the kingdom. However, because he became the devil king, his current position has become more delicate.
But no matter what the outside world says, his identity is still there.
So when Xi Zheng made a plan and went to Gala Shrine under the banner of guarding the Shrine, Ling En had already arrived in the palace of the Kingdom of Turens.
Accompanying him here is Hurley, the current deputy head of the Paladins.
Ling En just appeared in the palace openly and aboveboard. Of course, this kind of scene made many people in the palace nervous.
However, Ling En didn't seem to notice the eyes of the people around him at all, and walked towards His Majesty's palace with a cold face.
Hurley, who was by Ling En's side, also looked very calm, and she was not in the slightest panic about Ling En's arrival. On the contrary, she seemed to be looking forward to the next meeting.
Ten minutes later, the two walked through the long garden corridor and finally came to the bedroom. After notifying and hearing the voice of the king in the palace, Ling En and Hurley pushed the door and walked in.
In the middle of the palace, King Croft of the Kingdom of Turance sat, and beside him were the eldest prince Noyce and the second prince Masefield.
The royal family gathered here, obviously attaching great importance to this meeting.
Seeing Ling En's arrival, the king and the two princes had different expressions, but they all obviously became dignified.
"Long time no see, Ling En." The king has white beard and hair, and usually looks dignified, but today he looks much more amiable, with a thin smile in his words, "I remember the last time we met, you were only 13 years old , I am learning swordsmanship from my father."
Ling En didn't like this old way of greeting, he said straight to the point: "I'm here to borrow the fire from God."
After pausing for a while, Ling En changed his words and said, "If you don't want to borrow it, then I can only grab it."
The king raised his eyebrows slightly, then shook his head and smiled twice: "The sacred fire was originally something that was guarded by your ancestors. I have no reason to say anything to take away the sacred fire in your capacity, but I can ask Reason? After all, given the importance of Shenhuo, even if I want to send it out, I have to give an explanation to others."
Ling En had known for a long time that there would be this process, so he didn't waste time: "The reason is that only Shenhuo can kill the Lord of Ice and Snow."
Hearing his words, not only the king, but also the expressions of the two princes beside him changed a bit. They all set their eyes on Hurley, and Hurley nodded affirmatively in response to their questioning eyes. : "That's right, this news was told to me by a very reliable friend, and he also told me to fully trust Ling En."
When the king heard this, his expression became hesitant: "That friend of yours is..."
Hurley raised her head, blinked and smiled: "It's the deputy head."
These words finally changed the faces of the king and the two princes at the same time.
The Holy Knights often come and go to the palace, and the royal family and Hurley often communicate with each other, so they are very familiar with the affairs of the Holy Knights. Although Hurley is now the deputy head, the deputy head Hurley said , there is always only one person.
The king was stunned for a long time before he lowered his voice and asked, "Is what you said true? Xi Wei is still alive?"
Xi Wei, deputy head of the Holy Knights, had helped the royal family solve many problems, and enjoyed special courtesy in the palace, so no matter whether it was the king or the princes, they were all very pleasantly surprised when they heard the news.
Hurley nodded again with a smile on her face.
The eldest prince even preempted the king and said, "Where is he now?"
Hurley explained: "The deputy head is rushing to the shrine now, I believe His Majesty and His Highness already know that there are other forces hidden in the shrine, and the purpose of the deputy head this time is to destroy the people who occupy the shrine Lord of Ice and Snow, rescue the leader from inside."
The two princes looked at each other, and then turned their eyes to His Majesty the King.
The king frowned and thought about it seriously, and then asked, "How sure are you?"
"As long as you are willing to hand over Shenhuo to us, I can guarantee that it will be successful."
This time it was not Hurley who answered, but Ling En.
And after saying this, Ling En went on to say: "After I succeed, I will return the fire, whether you believe it or not."
Although Ling En is the son of glory who is supposed to be in charge of Shenhuo in blood, but now he is the leader of the Demon King City. This kind of assurance does make people feel a little complicated, but the king pondered for a while, then nodded and said: "I I promise you."
After he made the promise, he immediately turned his head and said to the second prince beside him, "Go get the divine fire."
When the second prince turned around and went to the place where Shenhuo was, the king said to Ling En again: "I will leave this matter to you. Unfortunately, this is something that the kingdom should have to deal with, but you have seen it in the kingdom now. We There is no way to fight him, so I can only ask for your help."
Ling En didn't answer, she didn't know what she was thinking.
The eldest prince stared at Ling En, and suddenly asked: "Can I know the reason? Why did you suddenly change your mind and want to help us deal with the four demon gods?"
Ling En seemed a little impatient with his question, but finally gave an answer: "For someone."
The eldest prince obviously did not expect this answer: "Someone?"
Ling En said: "As long as it is what he wants to do, I will do it for him. Is there anything else you want to ask?"
Even though he said so, his eyes were obviously unwilling to answer. In order to keep the devil in a happy mood, the eldest prince coughed thoughtfully, and did not continue to ask.

At the same time, Xi Zheng has brought people to the gate of Gala Shrine.
The Gala Shrine was still covered in ice and snow. Standing in front of the closed gate, Xi Zheng said a few words to the guard at the gate, making him convey the purpose of bringing people here and expressing his concern for the great priest.
Just looking at these performances, Xi Zheng seems to be really worried about Jingu, but only those who know the inside know that Xi Zheng is going to deal with that priest this time.
However, when the guards reported back, they conveyed that the high priest did not need the help of everyone.
Xi Zheng had expected this, so he shook his head with a smile and said: "I understand that the priest is worried about everyone, but please tell her that we are not afraid of any danger, and we will fight to the death with the army of the devil."
The guard looked embarrassed: "This..."
He was about to say more, when Xi Zheng pointed to the crowd behind him: "And you see, everyone's fighting spirit is high, even if I speak, others will not take half a step back."
The guard looked in the direction he pointed, with a more complicated expression.
Xi Zheng turned his head and looked at the crowd.
Only then did he realize that behind him, on the frozen snow field, players from all races had gone crazy.
Some of them have already taken out all kinds of food from their backpacks and started to spread out food on the spot to eat delicious food. Some of them communicated with each other in twos and threes, talking and laughing while chatting. Wandering outside the walls of Gala Shrine, looking for a suitable live broadcast and camera angle, trying to leave a memorial.
These people...
No matter from which angle this group of people looked, they didn't look like Xi Zheng said that they were here to work hard, on the contrary, they were more like they were here for an outing.
After all, they are players, and everyone's understanding of this operation is nothing more than a copy of a large-scale multiplayer game. Of course, it is impossible for everyone to show their desperate energy.
Xi Zheng: "..."
He reflected on what he said just now, and promptly corrected it: "Looking at the way everyone is facing danger with ease, I believe that the priest can understand that we are really not afraid of danger. Please let us enter the shrine. Join the fight."
After saying these words, Xi Zheng pretended to be inadvertent and said: "It has come to this point. The safety of Gala Shrine is related to the safety of the royal city. The priest should think clearly. This matter is not just about the shrine. thing."
The words have already been said to this point, I believe that the people in the shrine will also think about it when they hear these words.
If the Great Priest still can't let people in, then I'm afraid people inside Gala Shrine will also doubt the purpose of the Great Priest.
The current Gala Shrine does not know that their great priest has been possessed by the Lord of Ice and Snow, and seeing the actions of the Lord of Ice and Snow, he does not want his identity to be revealed immediately.
Just as Xi Zheng thought, the guards went to report again this time, and finally the news came that the great priest agreed to let everyone in.
But at the same time, the great priest also said that she hoped to see Xi Zheng alone.
When the guard sent the news, Xi Zheng was talking to Meteor Tiger beside him. Meteor Tiger is one of the few people who knows the true face of the great priest. Although in his cognition, the game boss will not cause real harm to the player, but he Still couldn't help frowning: "Master, will this NPC do something bad to you?"
Xi Zheng knew in his heart that the opponent was a demon god, and it was definitely not that easy to face him directly. It was rare for him to feel nervous about dealing with a crisis.
But even here, he didn't intend to back down.
Xi Zheng said to the guard: "Please lead the way."
