"Why?"
Gwen was a little confused.
Victor came with the Knights, but now he actually proposed to separate and act alone. She didn't quite understand. If Victor didn't need the Knights' protection, then why did he follow the Knights?
Or? What was his purpose in coming to Mount Vesuvius?
"I'm going to the crater first."
That's what Victor said.
Under Gwen's sense of justice, all lies will be exposed.
But he didn't lie, which means that Victor really planned to go to the crater.
Gwen remembered the reason why Victor accompanied him in the first place.
"Could it be that the monster you mentioned is on the crater?"
"Hmm..." Victor was silent for a while. At this time, he thought of the figure of the monstrous monster in his heart.
So, he replied. "I guess so."
... What do you mean by "I guess so"? But the other party hasn't lied yet, Gwen is a little curious, but she is not someone who likes to pry into other people's privacy.
After all, this is a dead volcano, and Victor also said that he is very familiar with the terrain of Mount Vesuvius.
It should be, there won't be any problem.
Gwen nodded and agreed to his request to leave the team.
"I will take the initiative to find you after I finish my business."
As soon as Victor finished speaking, a blue magic circle with twinkling stars appeared under his feet. The blue light flashed, and his figure disappeared without a trace.
A living person disappeared directly in front of him, making Gwen a little dazed.
A knight watched the whole process of the two people's communication, and saw Gwen who was still in a daze, and couldn't help but walked over to ask Gwen.
"Knight Captain? Did you two... have a conflict last night?"
Gwen turned her head and opened her mouth.
"No, it's not what you think..."
Before she finished speaking, the knight continued: "Well, it's normal for couples to have conflicts. I often quarrel with my wife, but our son is eight years old."
"Fight at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed. There is no overnight hatred between husband and wife."
The more Gwen listened to him, the redder her face became.
"Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and leave!" She cursed at the knight and left in a hurry.
"Hey? Knight Commander Gwen! I didn't say anything wrong... Alas, girls nowadays are just hypocritical, and I can see that I was right."
Gwen didn't hear what the knight said later.
Her face was slightly red, like a little girl whose worries were said.
But in fact, she knew better than anyone.
There was no relationship between her and Victor.
Just like she would never like Victor, Victor would never like her.
Gwen got on the white horse, thinking a little gloomy in her heart.
If nothing unexpected happened, she might still marry Victor in the end.
After all, the marriage contract between the two families had been decided long ago.
Gwen was the second daughter of the family, and she could only obey the family's decision and could not change it.
Gwen didn't want to get married, not to mention that the previous Victor made her feel very bad.
'How could I marry such a bastard? '
With this thought in her mind, she suddenly recalled what happened last night.
He was like an elegant nobleman, and every move was like a gentleman.
She didn't even know when he gave up the only bed to her.
When she woke up, she found Victor sitting quietly in a chair, reading the obscure magic book, sitting all night.
She felt guilty, but Victor told her that they, the mages, had their own way of resting, and they just needed to be quiet around them.
Is he... a bastard? Gwen couldn't help thinking in her heart.
Determined to become a knight of absolute justice, Gwen didn't really hate anyone.
Even if this person was Victor.
'I should have been quite quiet last night...' Shaking off the extra thoughts in her mind, she raised the silver sword in her hand and waved it forward.
"Let's go!"
A blue light rain fell from the air, forming a teleportation array in the air, revealing Victor's figure. He opened his eyes, and the surrounding scenery had changed significantly.
The surroundings were so desolate that there was almost nothing, only a few scattered charcoal-like stones standing on the hillside.
Now he was in the middle of the volcano, much ahead of the Knights.
This was the maximum range of teleportation magic.
It was not realistic to teleport to the top of the mountain in one go.
Seeing that there was no one around, Vega on his shoulder spoke to him in a loud voice: "Why did you choose to separate from them?"
"The route of the Knights should be the same as yours. If you follow them, you will get here sooner or later."
Victor pressed its head and explained: "I don't need their company."
"There are some things I want to investigate myself. There is no need to let others know."
Vega was very strange. Looking at Victor, he seemed to have planned it for a long time.
Recalling his interest when he heard about Mount Vesuvius, it was hard for Vega not to suspect that the other party knew something. A man and a bird walked on Mount Vesuvius, which had erupted once.
However, after that, Mount Vesuvius lost its power to erupt and became a dead volcano. The residents at the foot of the mountain built a town here, which has a history of hundreds of years. After hundreds of years of wind and sun, the ground here has long formed a lime-gray charcoal, full of cracks and weathered volcanic rocks. Want to see some plants here? That's a bit difficult.
However, after hundreds of years, no one is worried that the volcano will erupt again.
The volcano is about a few hundred meters high, and he soon reached the top of the mountain. The closer he went to the top of the mountain, the more clearly Victor could feel the extremely rich fire element.
Not only him, but Vega also had the same feeling. It turned its head and glanced at Victor with a subtle look.
"Interesting, I really want to take your head apart to see how you thought of coming here."
"You actually found a 'disaster'."
Victor's expression was very calm, and Vega understood that he had known there was something here. Disaster. To be precise, this is the specific name of the furnace monster recorded in history.
There are six kinds of disasters in the world, corresponding to six magical elements. Wind, wood, fire, earth, water, and thunder.
And what is sealed in the Vesuvius volcano right now is the fire disaster, Guledon.
Its body is huge, as if it is ascending to the sky, and the fire of the furnace is pouring all over its body, like a demon in fire.
The reason why they are called disasters is that once they appear, they will cause natural disasters and chaos in a piece of land, and they are so powerful that people are terrified. Their existence is only bad for any creature, not good. This is the "disaster", just as its name suggests. "I'm curious, it's "sleeping" here well, what are you doing with it?" Vega looked at Guledon under the crater and asked Victor. "Collect some interest in advance."
Victor stood on the crater, looking down at it from a high place. It was so deep that people even doubted whether there was anything inside. The hot air sprayed out from the mountain pass, and the amazing heat hit his face. His eyes suddenly became very firm. The cold wind and the hot air mixed together to blow his windbreaker. At this moment, standing at the highest point of the volcano, he could hardly hear the voice of Vega beside him. "Hey, what are you doing here? Are you going to jump from here?" Victor did not respond, and Vega was silent for a while.
"You're not really going to jump, are you?" Its word-by-word questioning did not work at all.
Because Victor had already said to it: "Hold on!" After that, it jumped towards the volcano that was a hundred meters deep.
"You should ask for my opinion!!!!" The red-hot rock scenery around it kept falling, and Vega held Victor's clothes tightly with its beak.
At this time, it even forgot that it was still a bird with wings.
The scene in front of it kept shaking, and finally... After a flash of white light, the figures of the two disappeared in the air.
"I've been a god for so long, and this is the first time I've felt so crazy." When Vega opened his eyes, he seemed to have come to another space.
It was pitch black around him, and the only thing visible to the naked eye was the floor.
"It's so dark, Victor? Victor?" Victor was right behind him. When he saw the crow wake up, he picked it up and put it on his shoulder. Vega just wanted Victor to light a fire to illuminate the surroundings, but before he could say anything, a huge snoring sounded in the darkness in front of him. It almost deafened the crow's ears.
"Damn, who is snoring, uh..." Vega stopped talking.
It saw the source of the snoring, or... At this moment, it was right in front of Vega, sleeping with its eyes closed.
How to describe it appropriately? It was like a giant pillar rising into the sky. It was as tall as a mountain, shocking and terrifying.
The disaster of fire, Guldun, appeared in front of them. Vega's head broke out in a cold sweat, and the hair on his head looked a lot brighter.
"Boy, do you want to challenge it?"
"Don't joke! I'm just an ordinary bird now, I can't help you with anything!"
Victor didn't look at it, and pinched a flame with his fingertips, illuminating the front. It also illuminated the true appearance of the giant beast.
"Don't say that."
"You are my biggest help in defeating it."
The next second, Fengxi's snoring stopped.
The huge red eyes opened, like an amazing light bulb. "Aohouhouhouhouhouhou!!!"
It looked down at the two ants, and a roar resounded throughout Mount Vesuvius.
