Chapter 54: Will of Fire

Entering the portal located between the Sahara Tree made have given Cecil goosebumps. She could feel a strange presence on the other side as they walk closer.

Shi Fan entered the portal first as he is enveloped in yellow silk of light reminiscent of the wrapping of a ball.

When Cecil also came inside she is also wrapped in yellow cloths that gave them a warm feeling as if being in a warm room in a winter night. The duo then traversed a seemingly endless long portal before plopping into a mysterious area.

Opening up their eyes there was mesmerized by how vast the grasslands are. Surrounded by extremely tall trees where it's leaves that reach the clouds. The riverbank in front of them have pearly white sands where it's water is golden colored that is rampaging into the treelines.

"Where is this place." Shi Fan was curious, if he is able to pinpoint this place even if he couldn't get a single treasure here he could return it if he knows where it is located.

Opening up the map he felt down after seeing a lock icon in his system map which meant it couldn't be open for the time being.

"They really don't want me to monopolize it." Shi Fan inwardly laughed as he began scanning the place. Although it is quite smaller compared to Ryuusuji Falls, the mana density is noticeable even by Rank 1 players.

Cecil gasped at the sight of the place. The reason why she became an herb seller is to explore many of the wonderful places that are known to excite many merchants.

Both of them began exploring the place until they notice a small hut at the center. Even the place and the hut look very ancient it is still functional. What is more amazing is that there is a chimney that gushed out white smoke, which the two concluded is that there is someone inside.

"Go on. What are you dilly-dallying there for." Quan Shi harrumphed as he stared at the small hut in front of them.

Shi Fan followed his master's orders since he knows "everything" about the place.

The wooden door slowly creaked as they are greeted by the sight of wooden furniture similar to that on a vacation home. The fireplace is burning brightly with a pale blue color unlike to commonly seen red or yellow color.

"Amazing." Cecil looked at the fire that is burning brightly. She began walking slowly towards it to feel the heat.

"Stop her!" Quan Shi immediately warned Shi Fan when he noticed Cecil's action.

With a quick response, he held Cecil's arms and the latter was shocked by his actions.

"Why do I need to stop her?" Shi Fan curiously asked, even he too wanted to get close to the fire with a unique color.

"Do you know what's the hottest color of a star?" Quan Shi flatly asked.

"Nope." Shi Fan said laughingly. As there is too much knowledge in the known universe it's impossible for him to know everything.

"It's color blue. If that lady touch even a single spectrum that is released by the fire even Rank 10 Emperors won't be able to save her." Quan Shi warningly said.

Shi Fan's jaw dropped upon hearing what his master just said. Rank 10 Emperors are known components inside the game. They are literally able to do almost everything possible given they have the strength to do it. Even recovering someone from a heavy Soul and Mind Burn penalty that could almost take years to recover is very possible for them. Yet this strange blue fire could make those Rank 10 Emperors that focuses on healings obsolete.

"What is that fire in the first place?" Shi Fan got straight to the point seemingly excited.

"It's called the Will of Fire. In Emperor Online there are 9 commonly naturally occurring known Elements. The Main Elements are Fire, Earth, Wind, and Water. It's other commonly known neighbors is Lava, Steel, Storm, and Poison and Frost. If the most condensed of one element coagulates for a long period of time they become a higher entity. They are known as Elemental Wills." Quan Shi stared deeply at the pale blue fire that is burning at the fireplace inside the house looking at it as a powerful enemy.
