"You've found him," said the head. "He's everywhere." The ground beneath his feet trembled again.The canopy shook violently, and all the heads screamed and dangled overhead.There was a choking gunpowder smoke in the air, red clouds covered the sky, and several stone walls collapsed not far away.I saw the flames galloping like thousands of horses, roaring and destroying the tall stone wall with overwhelming force, and the burning magma spewed out from the gap and quickly spread over the entire ground. I was in the middle of a raging fire, but I couldn't feel the burning pain.It's just that the thicker and thicker smoke made me unable to open my eyes, and everything around me was distorted and deformed in the hot air.My eyes filled with tears, and I saw that the straight stone walls twisted into spirals like twists, and the color of the stones gradually deepened, showing a kind of terracotta that seemed to be burnt.The scenery in front of me is extremely weird. I am sure that I have never been to this place, but it is incredible that I feel as if I have seen this scene somewhere.Did they also appear in my dreams?

I looked back, but I couldn't see D or Emily in the red smoke, and when I turned my head again, the head seemed to be gone.I mean, the big leafy tree in the center of the square, with its shriveled heads, is gone!But where the big tree disappeared, there was a raging flame. There is a black shadow in the center of the flame. I held my breath and walked towards the shadow step by step.The flying flames kept sweeping across my body. I squinted my eyes and stared at it closely. I saw a lizard lying prone in the middle of the flames. A gigantic lizard with a reptilian body and human-like arms.He was looking at me with his chin resting on his hands, and the flames danced above his head like tufts of crimson feathers.

I immediately remembered the story of the Feathered Serpent God that Xiao S told.I didn't hesitate, the fire elf Salamanda was in front of me at the moment. "I need your tail." I cleared my throat and told him bluntly. "You now know its purpose." Salamanda changed her posture in the flames, and said slowly and gracefully, "It's the same as the other three tokens, they can't save you." "My sole purpose is to get Lotbar back," I said. "I owe him my life." "You are brave. But will he do what you want?" Salamanda tilted her head. "What if he ends up on his brother's side?"

My heart skipped a beat, and I remembered the "everyone knows" prophecy in my skull. The twin brothers will eventually rule the worlds of humans, demons, and heaven. I shook my head, "That's impossible." I replied. "Are you so sure?" Salamanda exhaled, and the hot flames sprayed directly on my face. My throat was full of scorching heat, my eyes were dry and sore, I coughed, trying to make my speech sound more weighty, "I won't allow him to do this." I replied loudly, " Because we are the same person." "Really?" Salamanda countered. "What about D? Does he see you as the same person?"

I froze.The heroism hidden in my heart caused troubles, and I always wanted to sacrifice myself to achieve the overall situation, just like the witch Odile three hundred years ago.Her self-sacrifice resulted in split souls, distortions of space and all that we are now facing.But I have no other way.I can't stand seeing old and helpless D, and I can't stand this happening again.In a sense, perhaps a repetition of the tragedy is the only way to solve the problem.If one of us has to die, I hope it's me. "Do you love him? Do you love him as much as he loves you?" I can't believe my ears.Over the years, through the centuries, I have never doubted my feelings for D.The only thing I'm worried about is that he won't love me as much as I love him.But Salamanda, the fire elf who knows everything in the universe, actually raised the exact opposite question.I stood there blankly, not knowing how to answer him.

"If you love him, your first consideration should be his feelings, not your own guilt and remorse. Not your low self-esteem and negativity, nor the illusory personal heroism you inflated because of it." My cheeks are burning, is that why the fire is burning in my ears? "Death is the easiest result, because it only requires the courage of a reckless man." Salamanda said softly, "But entrusting the follow-up to others, to those who love you, is not The behavior of a wise man." "Tell me, Salamanda, what I shall do." Probably because I am in the field of fire elves - D said that the fire element represents all love and hatred, passion, and spiritual power close to the gods.A faint spark suddenly ignited in the heart that had been ashamed.The small sparks slowly swelled and burned, gradually warming my cold chest.Before I saw Salamanda, I had made up my mind to die, but now I see hope here.

"Follow your heart, it will tell you everything." Salamanda stretched, and he changed his posture again, his long tail casually flapping the flames on the rock. "I don't want to die," I said honestly. "I don't want to lose D. But I miss Lotbar too. I hope to see him again, and I hope he can defeat the Heath and bring the world back to normal." "Then let it happen," Salamanda replied in his languid voice. I stared at him in shock, again unable to believe my ears.One second the head told me that the whole world was about to be destroyed, the universe collapsed and distorted, and the next second he told me that was not the case.I figured there must be something wrong with my ears.Otherwise it's my faculties of understanding, and I'm going crazy.

Let this happen.This is the solution that Salamanda told me.Let everything in the world go my way.Is this really possible? "Believe in your heart. Because belief can create miracles. As long as you make clear your innermost request to the whole world, then your wish will be fulfilled to some extent." Salamanda used an ethereal spirit that only belongs to gods. The voice said to me, "Haven't you heard?" "I've heard so many things," I told him, "that I thought they were myths." "We live in myths," said Salamanda. "We create myths. Myths are born of us."

"You mean, I can change this?" "I don't know." Salamanda shook her head, "It's just that there is no single history or single future for anything in the universe, but every possible history and every possible future. " "I understand." I took a deep breath and nodded, "Please give me the last token, and I will try my best to make this happen." Salamanda smiled.He twisted slightly, and the long tail behind him fell off in an instant. He handed me the last token of the elemental elves. I looked up at the strangely twisted maze of stone walls around me, which looked increasingly familiar.In a flash of inspiration, I suddenly remembered where the hell I had seen them.But the answer is too fanciful for me to convince myself, and I'm not sure.So I opened my mouth cautiously again: "Can I ask you one last question?" I asked him, "Where are we now? This 'invisible country' is actually not the same as the ones I have been to before." Not in the same space, right?"

"Don't you already know?" Salamanda looked at me with a smile, "Trust your judgment, Audrey. Trust yourself." Then he disappeared, and the flame disappeared immediately after.I stand among the twisted ruins, Salamander's tail in my hand.It is long and tough, like a whip. I remembered the story of Little S.I imitated the protagonist in the story and used this tail to whip the scorched earth on the ground. One whip and the dry scorched earth is gone. After whipping twice, the fertile soil sprouted new shoots, and the surrounding scenery began to change. After whipping three times, I saw that I was standing on a verdant green plain. Under the hazy sky, I saw layers of distant mountains and dense forests. The spring water was tinkling, and I was whipping the core on a rock.

Fairy's core.The fruit pit that was spit out after I choked my throat. Its shape is like a large burnt almond, but the surface is covered with crooked grooves like a walnut.If you look carefully, each tiny groove is a complex spiral, they are twisted and twisted to form the entire surface of the fruit core. I stared at it dumbfounded, and I finally confirmed what I thought.Because this is the "invisible kingdom", no wonder Noam can't see it, and everyone in this space can't see it.Because it only exists in the microcosm. Each core is an invisible universe.
