Lyle did not have fire resistance or fire magic, so he could only stay in the outermost area where the temperature was relatively lower.
Looking up, he could see the sea of magma flowing with scorching light in the distance; that was the center of this Lava Zone.
Logically speaking, magma shouldn't appear in the high-altitude terrain of the Angelic Mountain Range, which is covered in ice and snow all year round.
However, this was a world influenced by magic power after all, and any strange or unusual place was more or less related to magic, such as the sea of magma before him.
Beneath the magma sea, there seemed to be a natural Teleportation gate; the magma here was connected to magma in a distant region, which was why this abnormal situation occurred.
Bang!
Lyle threw the unconscious Quine Aise onto the ground, and the scorching ground scalded Quine Aise awake.
"We can negotiate..."
Quine Aise reflexively jumped up from the ground, a trace of horror showing in his red eyes as he looked at Lyle.
"All-Race Charm." Lyle's mana flashed in his eyes.
Quine Aise's expression stiffened, and he stood there blankly.
"Tell me the full details of the 'Thousand Mile Astrologer' ability." Lyle asked indifferently.
"'Thousand Mile Astrologer' is a member skilled in detection magic, her Talent is..." Quine Aise stammered, a struggling and twisted look appearing on his face.
The other party had already answered two of Lyle's questions a few days ago, and this was now the third question.
Lyle narrowed his eyes slightly upon hearing Quine Aise's introduction; his caution was indeed correct.
The Talent of the "Thousand Mile Astrologer" could greatly enhance detection-type magic. Even ordinary detection magic could exert abilities far exceeding its normal tier.
"Ah!!"
Before Quine Aise could finish his words, he let out a miserable scream, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground, dead.
"Experience gained: 13512"
[experience bar: 96419 / 120000]
"This kind of special magic method is really strange." Watching Quine Aise, who had died directly after answering three questions, Lyle's eyes flickered slightly.
He glanced at the experience points; it was lower than the experience given by the Gray-robed Mage.
"Quine Aise's Rank is actually lower than the Gray-robed Mage's." Lyle was somewhat surprised, then thought that the other party was skilled in using Demonic Beasts to fight.
"Resurrection!" Lyle waved his hand to cast the magic.
At this moment!
On the other side, the Slane Theocracy.
As the "Earth Temple" where Quine Aise worked under a hidden identity, the floor of the hall was paved with pure white marble.
On the surrounding walls, sacred and ancient murals were carved, depicting scenes of the Six Great Gods fighting various demi-human races, full of an indescribable sense of mystery.
The entire temple, except for the floor, was based in tea-brown, clearly indicating which of the Six Great Gods it was dedicated to.
Candlelight flickered!
An old man wearing a tea-brown priest's robe was kneeling in front of the statue in the temple; he was the Earth High Priest.
Boom!
Suddenly, a wave of air exploded out of thin air.
A figure with black hair wearing simple armor appeared behind the Earth High Priest like a teleportation.
The Earth High Priest, who was praying piously with his eyes closed, opened his eyes wide, but before he could turn his head to look behind him,
A serious voice rang out.
"Quine Aise is dead!" the black-haired youth said.
The Earth High Priest's back stiffened first, then relaxed again. He stood up unhurriedly, and his old voice spoke softly: "Do not be impatient about anything; it will affect your judgment."
"With your status, it is not appropriate for you to appear here."
The Earth High Priest turned around, a kind look on his wrinkled face as he looked at the black-haired youth behind him. At the same time, he bowed slightly to show respect, then said gently:
"Although we have placed restrictions on some of your actions, as the captain of the Black Scripture, you do not need to report the matter of casting 'Resurrection' magic to us."
"The current situation is that Quine Aise cannot be resurrected!"
"Among the people who killed Quine Aise, there exists a Magic Caster who also masters 'Resurrection' magic."
The youth's tone held a bit more anxiety.
The Earth High Priest's originally calm expression changed suddenly. Even his half-closed, gentle eyes widened a little, and a fierce glint flashed in the depths of his eyes.
"You don't need to do anything next; I will go and notify the other High Priest and the 'Thousand Mile Astrologer'."
The Earth High Priest finished speaking and strode away.
