Chapter 435 Loyalty is not absolute

The players followed the fire elemental elder, crossed the lava pool on the narrow rock bridge, and came to the top of the Balas volcano.

The reddish-brown tower was right in front of us, standing on the top of the volcano.

The tower is more than 30 meters high. Its body is made of igneous rock formed by solidified lava flow, and its surface has a flowing feel.

Firelight shone through the windows and cracks of the tower, and there was white steam and gray smoke.

Outside the tower are red iron chains that seem to be restraining some huge monster, full of powerful beauty.

The fact that such a magnificent building could be built in such an environment where magma is flowing and no life is allowed shows the terrifying power of the owner of this tower.

“In a place like this”

"so high!"

"Was this built with magic?"

Players who passed the trial were talking about it.

Xia Yeqiuyu looked up at the tower and felt a little excited.

"This is it, the legendary Tower of Hellfire, the place where the hidden profession - Dragon Bond Warlock - advances."

"I must succeed in advancing. May His Majesty Cassius bless me."

She prayed silently in her heart.

As a female player, she didn't like the rough appearance of the Redscale Conqueror, but was deeply fascinated by the elegance and nobility of the Dragon Vein Warlock.

The delicate little horns on both sides of the head, the golden vertical pupils, and the few scales surrounding the corners of the eyes that are decorated like makeup all appear just right.

And the human incarnation of the "Burning Emperor" Cassius just happened to suit her aesthetic taste.

Dragons are naturally charming.

The same is true for humans, elves, and even any creatures that have blood ties with dragons.

Arriving at the gate of the tower, the fire element elder pressed his burning fist against the stone gate, turned his head and whispered: "Trialist.
"Master, order to go in."

"boom--"

Along with the sound of gas, the tall stone door slowly opened, and bursts of steam and smoke gushed out, making it impossible for everyone to open their eyes.

"Everyone, please go in quickly."

"Advanced!"

"Hehe, this time we have three warlocks from the Royal Power who have passed the test, so they must be foolproof."

"The strength of the Red Scale Conqueror and the Dragon Paladin is already high enough. This Dragon Bond Warlock Trial is so abnormal, the strength must be incredible!"

"Yes, the first card of the magic advanced profession!"

"Haha, I wonder what kind of reward the president will give me after completing the advancement this time. It will definitely be a lot of money."

The players' voices were particularly excited and they had already begun to imagine a bright future.

The [Royalty] Guild is slightly different from other guilds. Their president is not only a strong man in "Erezegai", but also has extremely strong financial resources in reality.

This is also the reason why players in [Royalty] work much harder than players in other guilds, and can obey orders in unison, and the level differences within the guild are also more obvious.

They are not only playing games, they are also making money!

Xia Ye Qiu Yu remained silent and observed his surroundings carefully. The lesson of the player who was seeking his own death was right in front of him.

She had a vague feeling that things were not that simple.

If you want to successfully advance to a hidden profession, you must gain the favor of that special female NPC!
"Perhaps this is not the final trial, there will be another elimination round."

Inside the Tower of Hellfire is a spacious hall, reddish-brown in color everywhere, with hideous and strange monster heads hanging on the walls.

"Trialist."

"here."

The Fire Elemental Elder led the way and took the players up the spiral staircase.

As it was built not long ago, the interior of the tower does not have much additional decoration and looks rather empty. The second and third floors are almost completely empty.

However, there are flashing flames and sparks everywhere, and some floors even have fire elemental creatures serving as waiters.

“This place is really interesting.”

"Yeah." "Is that a lava monster? Can this thing be tamed? I want one too!"

It walked without stopping, climbing up several floors in a row, and finally led the players to the top floor of the Tower of Hellfire.

It was a heavy stone door with a lifelike pattern of a two-legged flying dragon engraved on the entrance - as well as the emblem of flames and vertical pupils.

In the Burning Empire, only the Imperial Palace, the Imperial Council Chamber and other institutions that symbolize the empire's official status are qualified to carve the Burning Emblem on their main gates.

"arrive."

"Go in."

The fire elemental elder stood guard at the door like a majestic door god, looking at the players with a cold expression.

Even through the heavy door, people can feel the steamer-like temperature on the top floor.

Xia Ye Qiu Yu thought: "This should be the top floor of the Hellfire Tower, where the mysterious NPC lives."

"It is also the final test for a Dragon Bond Warlock."

As they were about to reach their destination, the players became more excited and the discussion became more intense.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

"My crazy and domineering hidden profession is coming!"

“Hehehe, I will show off on the forum when the time comes, and let those newbies see me!”

"boom--"

The Fire Elemental Elder pushed the door again.

The final door opened.

Smoke and heat rushed in the face, and the pungent smell of sulfur filled the players' nostrils.

When the smoke cleared, the mysterious tower top revealed its true appearance, and all the players' eyes lit up.

"Oh——"

“This, this too.”

“Too rich!”

In this spacious room, there are exquisite statues on the left and right ends, which are the human and dragon forms of the Burning Emperor Cassius.

The human-shaped statue on the left is dressed in gorgeous robes and has a smile on his face. His appearance is almost perfect, with some features of a red dragon, and he exudes a noble and mysterious aura.

The dragon statue on the right spreads its wide wings and sits upright on a tall throne. Its image is majestic and solemn, with its eyes looking down disdainfully, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

Every scale and tooth of the dragon statue is carefully carved and lifelike.

The two statues face each other, forming two sides of one body. They are carved in extremely delicate detail and made of extremely luxurious materials - even the pair of golden eyes are inlaid with pure gold balls.

There are more than a dozen exquisite large oil paintings hanging on the walls, most of which are well-known stories in the empire.

From left to right: The Beginning of the Burning Embers, The Scourge that Destroyed the Legion, The Battle of the Icefall, The Battle of the Twin Dragons, The Coronation of the Burning Emperor.
In front of the two statues, there are piles of gold, silver, treasures, pearl jewelry, and neatly arranged equipment sparkling with magical light.

"That's a lot of money. There must be tens of thousands of gold coins here!"

"Oh my god, I've never seen so many gold coins in my life."

"What the hell? Blue suit!"

"This is nothing. Look at that ring! It's a ring of a noble fire giant! It's a rare and precious ornament!"

"Ah? This, this is a purple outfit!"

"And that! The Whip of the Fire Elemental Elder! It's also a rare weapon!"

The players exclaimed in amazement, almost blinded by the gold coins and equipment, feeling a bit like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

And in the end, some players' voices were already filled with greed. That was a [rare] equipment, something that couldn't be bought without thousands of gold coins!
Once we bring one back to the guild, it will definitely have a huge impact!
But Xia Ye Qiu Yu secretly felt that something was wrong, because the room was filled with a familiar atmosphere of "loyalty" - it was as if it was built by a devout believer of Cassius.

She frowned slightly.

Could this room be the final test?
