Infinite Transmigration Starting from Violet

When she went out, Tanis was still in her usual spot, and Laya was serving her tea and water.

"You've worked hard, Laya. Go and rest."

“Okay…” Laya stepped back and said to Lu Ye and A Tui, “Would you like some tea or snacks if you don’t mind?”

“No, we were just about to go and complete the task on the hunting letter,” Lu Ye said, waving the letter in his hand.

"Yes, you look very energetic." Tanis nodded gently.

"The hunting letter contains a request from our Volcano Residence. Of course, there will be corresponding rewards upon completion, and I look forward to your performance. However, if you still have any hesitation about hunting your fellow countrymen, that's fine too. We won't make things difficult for you; just leave this residence."

“We must raise our swords against the Golden Tree. We don’t need weaklings. Everyone must be prepared to smear their hands. You can think about it some more, there’s no rush.”

"Okay, thank you for your advice."

Lu Ye walked towards the gate.

A-Tui hesitated for a moment, then followed.

The two walked in a wide, empty corridor.

A-Tui couldn't help but ask, "Hey, we've already passed that place where the blessing point is."

"Let them go, we're not really going to hunt any Faded Ones."

“That’s true,” A-Tui said. “So where do we go now?”

“Let’s take a look around.” Lu Ye took out the terrain detector. “This mansion is very large, but it’s not as large as we’ve seen so far. However, now is not the time to explore the mansion. Let’s figure out the surrounding environment first.”

"Oh, what about Diaros? You just told Letia about him."

"No rush. Diaros's target is some distance away. We can teleport there in time."

The corridor was wide and long, and the gate to the volcano mansion was ajar enough for a person to pass through.

Lu Ye and A Tui were getting closer and closer to the door.

Then they noticed that there seemed to be something enormous behind the door.

It was covered in a huge black hood, but judging from its size, Lu Ye thought it was a mountain troll, just like Igi.

Unexpectedly, there was a mountain demon guarding the volcano mansion.

Just then, a sound came from not far away.

"Hey, newbie, if you're going out, you'd better let me give you a heads-up. That guy outside is dangerous. For just five hundred runes, I'll take care of him for you..."

That was a person squatting by the door.

Because he was crouching in the corner and his clothes were black, he was not easily noticed.

But Lu Ye and A Tui had actually noticed him when they got to this area.

Although the color of his clothes blended well with the environment, his large, reflective head stood out starkly from his surroundings.

“Patch, what are you doing here?” Lu Ye asked.

"Huh? It's you guys?"

The figure crouching in the corner stood up; it was none other than Patch, whom they had encountered in the Monroe Cave.

"What a coincidence! You're here... No, since you didn't come in through the main gate, you must have been recruited by Raia? You're already Herrschers?"

Lu Ye nodded.

"Phew... I didn't expect you guys to join us. It really surprised me. Anyway, we're comrades from now on! Please take care of me!"

"Wait, why are you here?" A-Tui asked. "Aren't you the boss of Patch Wholesale Warehouse?"

"Sigh, my men all ran away because they were scared by Ratahn, so I came back here alone to rest for a while before regrouping. That's all."

"When did you become known as the Hercules?" Lu Ye asked.

“I’ve always been a Herrscher of the Void,” Patch waved his hand and said. “That blessing of guidance and the two fingers stuff, I agree that it’s all bullshit. Since someone has ulterior motives and plans to catch us off guard, I think it wouldn’t hurt to lend a hand!”

"Besides, I think Tanis is quite interesting, don't you guys think so? Although I don't know how powerful her backer is, she seems so confident. It's one thing to openly declare her blasphemous intentions and ambitions, but to do it with such a righteous attitude is truly admirable. It's the first time I've ever met a woman like that..."

"What? Why don't you just say you're interested in married women?"

A-Mei interrupted Patch, succinctly and incisively pointing out the key points.

Lu Ye nodded: "That's correct, and fair."

Patch was taken aback, then tried his best to deny it.

"What? No, I just thought it was fun! Can't you tell I'm a bit of a joker?"

"Oh? Then touch your flushed face before you speak?" A-Tui asked.

Patch instinctively touched his face.

"Haha, you've fallen for it!" A-Tui chuckled.

"Get lost, you rude fader! If we weren't allies now, I might have punched you!"

Patch originally wanted to raise his fist in a show of force, but gave up after seeing Lu Ye next to A-Tui.

"Really?" A-Tu asked suspiciously. "Speaking of which, can a trafficker become a soldier?"

"Hey, are you insulting me? As a Herrscher, I've killed countless Faded Ones!"

"Really? How was he killed?"

"Hmph, smart people don't fight and kill; they always use their brains," Patch chuckled. "I used the rainbow stone to trick those idiot Faded Ones into thinking there was treasure on the cliff edge, and then I kicked them off after they got there!"

"That's a pretty good method."

A-Tui rested his chin on his hand, seemingly lost in thought.

As for guiding someone, I have my own methods...

"Oh well, speaking of which, do you want to buy something? Patch Shop, Volcano Mansion Branch, is open to you."

"No, we don't need forging stones for now," Lu Ye said. "What's going on with that mountain demon outside?"

"It's the gatekeeper, but don't underestimate it; it's been exposed to the power of the Mad Fire."

"Madfire?"

Lu Ye and A Tui exchanged a glance, recalling the scene they had witnessed in the sick village.

"Is it the kind that shoots yellow flames from its eyes?"

"Yeah, you guys knew that?"

“Of course, I can do that too!” A-Tui said.

"Ha, don't lie to me," Patch scoffed.

"I'm not lying. Although I've never used it before... I'll give it a try."

As A-Tu spoke, he activated the power of the holy seal.

A-Tui's eyes began to emit yellow flames, making it look from the outside as if a super-powerful light bulb was installed inside the helmet.

Lu Ye tried to stop him, but it was too late.

The prayer had taken effect. A-Tu let out a painful scream, and two yellow flames shot out from his eyes, melting part of the gaps in his helmet and even creating two large holes in the ceiling.

Lu Ye caught A Tui's limp and trembling body.

A-Tui trembled and couldn't speak. Lu Ye looked through the two large holes in the melted helmet and saw that the yellow flames in his eyes had not yet been extinguished.

Without hesitation, Lu Ye immediately took out the panacea and gave A Tui a prick.

A few seconds later, A-Tui's body gradually returned to normal.

Lu Ye half-forced A-Tui to lie down, then pried open A-Tui's helmet and used the light to look into A-Tui's eyes through the two melted holes in the helmet.

Fortunately, after the effects of the panacea, the yellowish ember-like substance was gone.

At this moment, Lu Ye noticed that A Tui's eyes were beautiful, with a dim gold hue, a color of faint blessing.

"Ugh... Ouch, that hurt so much! My eyes felt like they were burning hot," A-Tui mumbled.

"Seriously, what are you trying to prove?"

Lu Ye straightened A Tui.

"He should be alright now, right?"

"Mm." A-Tui nodded.

"So you really can use the power of the Mad Fire?" Patch exclaimed in amazement. "That's amazing! But I advise you not to use it too much, or you'll go crazy and only be able to stop the pain by eating Yero's eyeballs."

“I won’t use it a second time even if you tell me…” A-Tui said through gritted teeth.

“Alright, if you want to get out, just go to the left. The magic dolls won’t attack anyone who passes by, and the trolls won’t notice you,” Patch said. “Have a good hunt, but remember to bring back some spoils so you don’t have to bother checking if your hunted creature is really dead.”

"understood."

Lu Ye and A Tui left the Volcano Mansion.

After bypassing the mountain trolls and magical soldiers guarding the gate, they arrived at the mountainside.

The scenery here is by no means beautiful.

The aftermath of the devastating war still lingers; corpses and traces of flames are everywhere. Blood has long since evaporated in the intense heat, and the handles of the weapons stuck in the roadside are still warm, as if their owners were still holding them in battle just a moment ago.

Moreover, some surviving Rodel soldiers and finger monsters are scattered here. However, the former are already mentally unstable, while the latter are not the same group of finger monsters from the Kalia Fortress, and will attack any outsiders they see.

Clearing out these monsters is not within Lu Ye's responsibilities, and besides, he wouldn't get much rune anyway.

Melina then appeared.

"There's nothing worth the risk here. You should complete a quest first, and then search inside the Volcano Mansion."

"Is there anything good there?" A-Tui asked.

“I don’t have the energy to go into every corner, but generally speaking, valuables are kept indoors.”

But we still need to figure out the surrounding environment, since we don't have a map.

Just as Lu Ye was thinking this, Melina took out a map.

"This is a map of the Gemir volcano."

"This is a huge help... When did you get it?" Lu Ye asked.
