Keep in mind that these were the royal soldiers who were able to resist the allied forces of the demigods even after the Faded Ones were exiled.

Therefore, in order to successfully restrain the Royal City, it is necessary to send a dozen or so Black Blade Assassins to deal with the Rodel Elite Knights and Forge Knights who are in charge of command in the Royal City, and to destroy various important facilities in the Royal City.

That's why Dixi and Alto are here.

Alto had been imprisoned in the sealed prison for so long that he needed his daughter's help to walk.

In terms of combat ability, she is of little use.

However, as the leader of the Black Knife, she knew the personality, strengths, and abilities of each Black Knife as well as very well. Therefore, she assigned each Black Knife assassin the most suitable mission to ensure that the Black Knife assassins and their Black Knife armor could achieve the maximum benefit.

Of course, after doing this, Aleto could only wait for the final result.

But the black sword armor she wore... couldn't be wasted.

These black-bladed armors embody the technological prowess of the Eternal City, making them absolute stealth artifacts.

Using it to infiltrate the Golden Tree and install stone slabs is undoubtedly the best choice.

Aleto placed the black sword armor here, while she herself wore light armor, though without a face shield.

If Dizzy, the daughter, is so beautiful, then Alto, the mother, is naturally no less so.

There were only a few people at the flaming cauldron.

Marika is currently resting in the spirit bell in spirit form.

She will be needed again to deal with Mongot.

A-Tui's eyes darted left and right, as if he were searching for someone.

Lu Ye knew who she was waiting for.

After waiting for a few minutes, A-Tui also felt that the person wouldn't come...

But what good will it do if we come?

Even though it was her own choice to be the spark, she had no intention of going back on her word.

Perhaps... I just wanted to hear her speak.

A-Tui stretched out his hand towards the raging flames below.

At that moment, a figure appeared behind her, wearing a gray robe and with slightly wavy, shoulder-length brown hair.

"Thank you."

"Um……"

Hearing Melina speak, A-Tui was satisfied.

It's not really about asking for thanks; I just feel so good to see my friend still alive.

Several wisps of flame slowly rose and came into A-Tui's hands.

Her hands first caught fire as the flames arrived, and then the fire spread throughout her body. In just a few seconds, A-Tui was completely engulfed in flames.

The flames were strange; they were burning fiercely, but they only scorched A-Tui herself, without affecting her protective gear.

Dixi was somewhat surprised: "Didn't you say you were going to obtain the spark that would extinguish the flames? But now..."

Melina then said, "The spark is something that uses itself as a medium. Wherever the heart of the one who possesses the spark goes, the flame will follow like a shadow."

A-Tui, who was being burned, did not utter a sound or cry out in pain.

She faced the golden tree, opening her burning embrace as if to draw the towering tree into her arms.

"Look! The golden tree is on fire!" Dixi shouted.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the golden tree.

Starting from the broken top, the branches of the golden tree began to turn red and then burst into flames.

The fire spread rapidly, instantly engulfing the entire tree trunk, and the sky at the boundary turned as red as if it were burning.

The Supreme Will and the Two Fingers clearly noticed this, but it was to no avail.

The giant guarding the cauldron of flames simply stared blankly at the sky.

He never imagined that he had indirectly contributed to the burning of the golden tree.

The Supreme Will and the Two Fingers judge whether the Flame Cauldron has been invaded by, to some extent, the survival of the Flame Giant.

Because their position at the border determined how they observed this land.

Even candidates for godhood could only be monitored by planting "spies," let alone the fire giants.

They never expected that someone would evade the giants' sight and run directly to the cauldron of flames to open a blessing point.

After that, they could even ignore the fire giant.

Meanwhile, tens of thousands of tons of ash from the burning trees began to fall, burying the royal city.

Burning the golden tree...

This is a desperate situation that can be seen from most of the border area.

Almost simultaneously, all the creatures in the border region looked up at the sky.

The wandering merchant stopped playing his horse flute, the demi-humans emerged from their caves, the eyes of the mountain trolls who had left their homes gleamed, the wandering warriors pointed their swords at the sky, and flames were reflected in the eyes of Tibia and the unborn ones beside him. The dragons soared into the sky, admiring the end of this magnificent tree...

Someone burned the trees.

The new King of Elden walks to the end of the stairway to the throne.

The era of the Golden Tree... it will either be reborn or come to an end.

This will be the beginning of a new era.

As the golden tree burned, the flames on A-Tui's body gradually subsided.

But she seemed to lose all her strength and fell forward, about to plunge headfirst into the fiery pit.

At that moment, he shielded her with both hands, completely disregarding the fact that the flames on her body had not yet been extinguished.

Lu Ye and Melina pulled A-Tui back and laid her flat on the ground.

After the flames on A-Tui's body had all gone out, about an hour later, she finally woke up, swaying unsteadily.

This is the benefit of being given the fire of madness.

Having a "mad fire" within the body can, to some extent, prevent the "ash-extinguishing flames" from burning the body to ashes.

If Melina had been the one to start the fire, she would have burned the trees and lost her too.

By this time, Dixi and Alto had already left; they still had things to do.

Taking advantage of this moment, Lu Ye inserted the pure gold needles into A Tui's body to suppress the epileptic fire.

This thing has lost its usefulness.

After A-Tui woke up, Lu Ye pointed to the black sword armor on the ground.

"Thank you for your hard work. Take this and put it on in a bit."

"This... I have to wear it?"

"If you want to fight Mongot, I wouldn't mind."

Don't try to take it from me!

A-Tui immediately hugged the black sword armor to his chest.

Seeing that A-Tui was in such good spirits, Lu Ye and Melina breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the blazing red golden tree, Lu Ye thought it was time to prepare for the final battle.

The group exchanged information.

Lu Ye told Marika about it.

However, Melina didn't seem very surprised, because during her second search, she discovered that her mission was related to burning trees.

Although the tree has now burned, Melina still decides to help Lu Ye and A Tui ascend the throne.

Melina also made other discoveries.

She discovered the phantom of the First King within the royal city, and not only that, she also witnessed Sir Hundred Wisdom's battle with the phantom.

The result was that Sir Hundred Wisdom won by a narrow margin.

He and his attendant Shane fought with all their might to defeat the illusion of Griffith, which led Melina to discover the whereabouts of the First King.

Although the exact location could not be determined, it is certain that Gofulei is within the royal city.

Sir Hundred Wisdoms had cleared the initial obstacles for them and recorded the First King's fighting style.

Even if it's an illusion, it's still Gofule.

The King of Omens inherited this power from his father, allowing him to have a presence in the border region.

“Oh, and this too,” Melina said, taking out a prayer scroll. “I got it in the Queen’s boudoir.”

[Received: Golden Tree Blessing]

[Description: One of the prayers of the Ancient Golden Tree. It can include nearby allies, bestowing powerful blessings. It has the effect of slowly but significantly restoring health. The prayer state is maintained while it is continuously executed.]

In the past, the golden tree was abundant and fertile, but that glory was fleeting—like life itself, short-lived.

After that, Lu Ye and the others arrived at the Beast Temple of Galid.

If Govre has any weaknesses, then Maricus should know them.

Amidst the ruins, a massive, hunched figure still stood, gazing at the fiery red sky.

Upon hearing someone arrive, Maricus turned around.

But upon seeing Lu Ye, he did not launch an attack.

“You have burned the tree and stolen your destined death... I have nothing left for you.”

“Govere,” Luye said, “Marika said you should know Govere’s weaknesses.”

“Weakness?” Upon hearing this, Maricus turned his head back and continued to look at the sky. “The warriors of the wilderness have no weaknesses; their only weakness is battle.”

"fighting?"

“Strength is fundamental, and there is no king without equal,” Maricus said. “Gevrey carried the burden of Chancellor Theros, and he was the king. The chancellor would naturally assist the king. At that time, he was the King of Elden. But once he put down Theros, he was no longer the king, but a warrior.”
