The real name of the Fire Magic Sanctuary is Chikara Killing Fire, and his race is orc.
This also explains why he can vaguely sense the hidden space in the Dead City, while Ash and others cannot - his space faction has already reached the Holy Domain realm.
This is the racial talent of the orc warlock, which is beyond envy.
"I heard that other countries discriminate against orcs. Is that true? But I'm so handsome, I'm sure I'll be sought after in other countries, right?"
"She is your prisoner, and I am your slave, so my status should be higher than hers, right? I know as much information about the Four Pillars as she does, and you can ask me if you want to know! It's impossible that my status as a Saint Domain magician is lower than that of a Two-Wing Magician, right?"
"You won't join another sect, will you? Or do you want to form your own sect? How about we find a way to kill Silver Lantern, let Ash take Mercury Trojan's tactile throne, and control the Four Pillars?"
"If you don't want to spend money to support me, just let me go robbing occasionally! We who come from the Fire Temple are very good at killing and setting fires. Just ask the black crow and you will know! I am easy to support and very capable. I am absolutely worth it!"
Ash was certain that being talkative was definitely not a racial characteristic of orc mages.
I don’t know if it was the Four Pillars Cult that made him like this, or if this is just his personality, but Chikala doesn’t hide himself at all and promotes himself openly.
Unlike his rough appearance, he possessed a docile and submissive character that was not consistent with a sanctuary magician. He naturally entered the slave state and tried to improve his status. Igula originally thought that Chikara was just pretending to be honest to lower their vigilance, but after careful identification, he found that Chikara seemed to have a little hydrocephalus.
All I can say is that the orc warlock's racial talent might be a form of compensation.
When it comes to strangers, Harvey will naturally use his classic topic that never fails: "What pattern of corpse spots do you like?"
"Red Lotus Karma Fire!" Chikara answered immediately.
"Okay." Harvey was also interested: "Live spots that look like burning flames? I've never tried that."
Seeing the two of them chatting happily, Ash couldn't help but sigh at the diversity of species in Senluo - it was the first time he saw someone who could keep up with Harvey's train of thought without being influenced by him.
Under the guidance of Chikara, they soon found the hidden space. In fact, it was not hidden very deep, in the ruins of the church in the center of the dead city. When they flew over, they could see a flashing deep blue door.
They landed in front of the ruins and looked at each other in bewilderment as they stared at the blue door that flashed every two seconds.
"That's strange. I remember I passed by here during the day and didn't see this door." Chikala scratched his head.
"Why didn't you tell me this information?" Ash saw the door and was sure that Chikara was not lying: "If there was a way to leave here, maybe it wouldn't have developed to that scene."
Chikara said: "I actually told Mond (Spear Sanctuary) and Satpal (Wind Sanctuary), but Mond said that after killing you, if it doesn't work, there will be time to explore again."
The orc paused and said, "It's probably because Mond is angry. He is more inclined to the Lord of Billions of Glory."
The Lord of Billions of Glory, also known as the Tyrant.
Ash and the others didn't expect that the one with the worst temper among the three sanctuaries was not the hot-tempered Chikara, but the cold and silent Mond. Perhaps when Black Crow was discussing faith with him and he couldn't argue with Black Crow, the seeds of hatred had already taken root.
"So where do you lean towards?"
"Me? I want them all." Chikara held his head high and chest out, not forgetting to hold the coffin steady: "The courage of the Lord of Billions of Glory, the wisdom of the Lord of Wind, Rain and Snow, the divine power of the Eternal Burning Heart, the joy of the Dreamy Free Soul, why should I give up any one of them? Hey, why didn't the Four Pillars choose me as the sense of touch?"
Maybe they don’t want to know what it feels like to have hydrocephalus… Igula looked at the blue door that sometimes disappeared and sometimes appeared, frowned and said, “Is this a mechanism that only appears at night?”
"Not necessarily." Ash said, "Don't forget, we are now living in a world where seconds seem like years, but inanimate objects are not affected. That is to say, only when time slows down to this extent can we see this flashing blue door."
"In a normal passage of time, we would never notice this door. At most, we would feel an arc of light passing through our field of vision, but we would only think that it was... an illusion."
At this time, Gwen tugged at Igula's sleeve and pointed to the clean and flat ground. Igula understood what she meant and nodded, saying, "This door is so obvious that other people trapped in the time cage will find it sooner or later. There is no gravel or even dust on the ground here. It seems that someone came here not long ago. Mercury Trojan said that she had repeated the experiment in the dead city. This may be the trace of those people."
Ash suddenly remembered something: "That means that Silver Lantern can also find this place... Is she already in there?"
"It's possible. There's a high probability that the original body of the legacy 'Sanctuary' is hidden inside, and she may have already obtained it." Igula said, "But this is the first time I don't mind her success. After all, if she gets the 'Sanctuary', we can naturally escape the time cage - but no one has been able to take the 'Sanctuary' away for more than two hundred years, so I am pessimistic about this."
Ash said, "Come to think of it, was Silver Lamp really plotted against by Mercury Trojan?"
"What's the meaning?"
"She doesn't look like someone who would be trapped in the Mercury Horse for a whole day without taking any action," Ash said, "Is it possible that her original intention was to enter the dead city at night?"
"Impossible!" Igula shook his head decisively: "Yin Deng is not a fool. Even if she knows the secret of the Dead City, there is no need for her to enter the notorious Dead City in person. She can just reveal the information to others, let them take risks, and then she can take away the fruits of victory - this is Yin Deng's thinking."
That's right, this is the way of thinking of Yindeng, calculating, cautious, and unscrupulous. Igula studied Yindeng's character thoroughly, but Ash still insisted on his own opinion.
"Caution is just a disguise she uses to cover herself up," Ash said seriously, "She is a romantic and radical idealist at heart."
Igula was silent for a moment: "You should call her crazy for short."
Without much hesitation, everyone opened their sanctuaries and quickly passed through the blue door in the two seconds it lasted.
Then, suddenly, everything became clear.
They came to a clean and bright hall, stepped on the pure white floor without any gaps, and could see their own blurry reflections. Everyone became bright.
It seemed as if the ruined and dilapidated dead city opposite the Blue Gate was just a dream.
There was a huge fog wall in the hallway, and golden runes were faintly engraved in the illusory fog. When Ash looked at the golden runes, many thoughts popped up in his mind: "Why can the Kaleidoscope change a person's body structure so easily?" "Why can the Twin Abysses create a perfect clone?" "Why is there no abyss in Senluo?" "Why is there a green dragon in the dark night?"...
He quickly shifted his gaze, and the storm of thoughts boiling in his mind slowly subsided. Harvey was similar to him, groaning and moving his head away. Black Crow seemed unaffected, and Chikara even made a retching sound.
Only Igula stared at the golden words in fascination, muttering something, and subconsciously took out the space card, took out a pen and paper to write and draw. He accidentally wrote too fast, and the pen flew out. Gwen immediately caught the pen and handed it back to him.
"What is this?" Ash couldn't help but ask.
"Truth Link." The person who answered was actually Chikara, "I didn't expect there would be such a rare thing here..."
It was indeed very rare. Ash and his companions had walked half of the Senluo without seeing anything like it. The orc punched himself on the head, then became much more sober. He turned his back to the fog wall and introduced to them: "The Truth Link is a knowledge inheritance mechanism in the Gray Fox Age. The birdmen of the Gray Fox are very strange. They don't like to tell others knowledge directly. They insist that apprentices deduce the truth they have discovered step by step..."
Chikara talked too much nonsense, and it took Ash and the others a while to understand the purpose of the Truth Connection - in simple terms, it is an auxiliary learning tool.
Normal auxiliary learning tools cannot be separated from external induction, such as questions, induction, and prompts. The special thing about "Truth Connection" is that it only stimulates people's thinking. All information comes from people's existing intelligence, allowing anyone to infer the truth pointed to by "Truth Connection" by themselves.
For example, if there is a truth link that explains "L'Hôpital's Rule", even if it is only shown to elementary school students, they can continue to deduce upwards through existing knowledge until they derive L'Hôpital's Rule.
So it's not Chikara's fault, even Ash and the others found it very strange - why do you make it so complicated with such details when you can just tell the truth directly? Just for the sake of education?
Is high productivity a big deal?
Harvey walked up to the fog wall and tried to reach his hand through, but was blocked by the fog wall.
This time, the fog wall showed words that everyone could understand: "You are not qualified."
"In other words, we have to deduce this truth before we are qualified to pass through the fog wall?" Ash scratched his head: "What if we can't deduce it——"
"Yes, this is the only possibility!"
While they were discussing, Igula had already written several pages without realizing it.
He looked at the golden words on the fog wall, and a look of fear that was not supposed to be seen by a fraudster was revealed on his face. He seemed to be afraid of something, and at the same time, he seemed to be longing for something: "Yes, this is the only possibility. There is no other possibility..."
Ash walked up to him in two steps, pressed his shoulders, and covered his eyes: "Igula, take a deep breath."
The trickster obeyed, but Baici's face was still flushed with excitement: "Yash, listen to me, you must believe what I say..."
"Of course I believe you." Ash said, "Count to three silently, and then tell us the truth you have deduced."
Igula let out a long breath, and after a moment, he said calmly: "Ash."
"Sen Luo, it's not real."
