Chapter 124: Little Gold
"Chirp~"
A short sound rang out from the flames of the altar, sharp and high-pitched, as if torn by a strong wind.
Everyone held their breath, waiting for the unknown change.
"Chirp~ Chirp~"
The emerald green flames quieted down on their own, like flowing water, curling inward towards the center, no longer clinging to the charred stones and ashes on the periphery.
This was an action that no ordinary flame could achieve!
Hallyne's eyes widened. Elf, my elf, the Alchemist's elf, come out quickly!
It seemed to have heard the people's call.
The green fire gradually dimmed and became transparent, losing its color. Then, a golden-yellow flame was born from within.
The golden flame pulsed irregularly, sometimes expanding into a bonfire several feet high, with faint human faces formed by flames wailing within, and sometimes shrinking into a flame the size of a palm, almost extinguishing.
Hallyne's heart beat or stopped with it.
Fortunately, the golden flame finally calmed down, stabilizing at a size of ten feet, and the leaping tongues of fire gradually converged, finally solidifying into a distinct human form.
Son of Fire!
Hallyne couldn't tell its gender, perhaps elves had no gender.
The hall was silent.
Under everyone's gaze, it opened its eyes. Flames of varying brightness distinguished the whites of its eyes and pupils, even allowing people to discern its emotions.
Hallyne felt that the Son of Fire was in a good mood now.
"Chirp~" It shook its head, looking left and right, examining everything around it, seeming very curious about the world it was in.
Undoubtedly, it was alive, it was an intelligent life.
Gasps and exclamations rose and fell.
Hallyne's eyes were filled with tears, his lips trembling uncontrollably, and he was almost about to kneel.
Son of Fire!
How many years had it been? The Guild could finally create a true, undeniable miracle!
Alchemy was not a lie!
We could not only create Wildfire! Alchemy and Fire Elves were the true masterpieces of the Wisemen!
Hallyne was already impatient. There were still more Incantations and Sorceries stored in the Guild. These could definitely be replicated as well. Alchemists would return to their most glorious era, or even surpass it!
Hallyne looked at King Joffrey with fervent eyes, anticipating the King's surprise and admiration.
The short Tyrion was the first to give Hallyne a satisfactory reaction. "What a breathtaking miraculous creation. To exist in the form of flame, how terrifying, how wondrous."
"Alchemists truly live up to their name."
While sincerely praising, Tyrion was puzzled by Joffrey's calm and serious demeanor at this moment.
Wasn't the purpose of coming here today for this very scene? Why wasn't Joffrey happy? Was he still thinking about the Stark matter?
Joffrey was focusing on the Six-Pointed Star array in the hall.
The birth of the Son of Fire was indeed worth celebrating. A Fire Elf with intelligence not only possessed considerable combat power but could also greatly deter enemies and boost morale and public spirit.
But he had to notice that the Source Energy in the Crystals forming the Six-Pointed Star array was still being continuously consumed by the Son of Fire.
It seemed that the Son of Fire urgently needed a supply of Source Energy.
Perhaps this was also the truth behind the extinction of Dragons. Magical creations were sustained by magic. Once magic weakened, the creations perished.
Source Energy might be essential for the survival of the Son of Fire and Dragons, just like oxygen was for humans.
But the current situation was that the two Runes before had absorbed a large amount of Source Energy. The remaining Source Energy in these Crystals was less than ten units.
At the current rate of consumption.
Joffrey looked at the bewildered Son of Fire and transmitted a message to it: "Little Gold, you're dying."
"Chirp!" The golden flame on the Son of Fire suddenly flared up several feet, and its head kept looking around, searching for the thing that had just startled it.
"Look up, Little Gold. You know what 'up' is, right?"
Little Gold? Up? It patted its head. It didn't know why, but the new world always felt familiar.
Also, I'm Little Gold?
Little Gold raised its head. A beautiful little person above was smiling at it.
Strange. What are beautiful and smiling?
What is a person?
How do I know?
Little Gold became more and more confused. Besides the knowledge from the Inheritance Mark, it shouldn't know anything else.
The Inheritance Mark made it understand that it was a Fire Elf, naturally able to absorb and control fire, that it should help its summoner, protect other elves, and fight against Frost.
The most crucial thing is that I have to stay in a place with abundant magic, otherwise I will die.
It knows what death is.
Death is when the fire goes out and there is nothing left.
Little Gold contentedly felt the abundant magic around it. It feels so comfortable. How could I die?
"Little Gold, do you like the crystals on the ground?"
Little Gold looked down at the ground.
Magic! The shiny things contained magic, which was being absorbed by its Inheritance Mark.
Hmm? Little Gold sensed something was wrong.
I should be absorbing the magic coming from the Unknown Land. That is the source of magic.
Little Gold calmed down and sensed carefully.
The magic in the Unknown Land was not abundant, it could even be described as sparse and barren, completely insufficient!
Little Gold immediately became terrified.
The magic in the shiny things was decreasing and would soon be gone. By then...
I will die!!
The flames on Little Gold's body surged with its emotions. It transformed back into a ball of burning fire, its humanoid form completely obscured.
"Little Gold, come here."
Little Gold looked up. The beautiful little person was waving at it. That's right, he also has a lot of magic hidden in him.
No, I won't die.
Little Gold's Eyes became brighter, the golden firelight shining directly towards the beautiful little person. As long as I get that magic, my flames will continue to burn.
The Son of Fire moved its legs, taking its first step since its birth.
The magic in the shiny things was completely exhausted.
Little Gold immediately felt the craving for magic from the Inheritance Mark within its body, as well as an omnipresent, indescribable pain and fear.
It quickly rushed towards the beautiful little person.
The Mark couldn't wait at all. Without magic, the Mark would devour its body without hesitation.
Amidst the exclamations of the crowd, Little Gold leaped with all its might, flames dancing wildly, and floated directly towards the beautiful little person. By the time it reached the magic, its remaining body was already about the same size as the little person.
Just as Little Gold was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the Mark couldn't absorb the beautiful human's magic and was still devouring itself!
"Little Gold, do you want crystals?"
That human extended a hand, holding a Crystal at his fingertip, and there was another kind of magic that couldn't be eaten. "Sign a Contract with me."
There was no time! Little Gold nodded repeatedly, trying hard to touch that life-saving Crystal.
The magic that couldn't be eaten entered its body.
Little Gold understood what a Contract was, something even more detestable than a summoner.
But it had no other choice.
The Contract was completed.
Joffrey removed the constraints of the Restoration Rune in the Crystal, and Source Energy flowed towards the Son of Fire, stopping its collapse.
The dazzling sudden changes finally subsided.
Everyone gathered around.
Tyrion looked at Little Gold and chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Son of Fire, you're as tall as me now."
Little Gold, which had shrunk to four feet tall, was only focused on holding the life-saving Crystal, completely ignoring the humans' gazes and words.
"Little Gold, do you want more crystals?"
It looked up.
The beautiful human took out a large handful of crystals, containing countless amounts of magic.
