Chapter 822: Chapter 532: Miracle Building – Lion King Temple_1
“Twelve years ago, as a court mage, I had reached the Tier 3 Peak Level in strength, along with my outstanding performance, I had the honor of being chosen to be the magic guardian of Lion King Temple.”
At this moment, the aged eyes of Asher Porter were filled with nostalgia as they seemed to be immersed in memories.
“So you used to be the magic guardian of Lion King Temple?”
Hearing this, Ariel Watson nodded thoughtfully. Lion King Temple was located right next to the Royal Castle.
The role of the magic guardians was to supply magical energy to the Absolute Defense Barrier enveloping the Lion King Temple.
So, it was indeed possible that they had met up close in the past.
On the side, Leo Ray also showed a thoughtful expression as he listened to their conversation.
The Lion King Temple was the only Miracle Building that the Coldflame Royal Family owned.
It was said that King West, who had already become a great hero, accidentally found a fragment of a Miracle Building blueprint in an ancient Human Clan ruin.
Overjoyed, King West gathered the top magical power in Coldflame and spent thirty years constructing the building.
Furthermore, with the efforts of many subsequent Coldflame Kings, it had been constantly improved and upgraded to a high level.
As for the specific purpose of Lion King Temple, it was naturally a closely guarded royal secret, and even most senior nobles had no idea.
However, after subduing Ariel Watson, Leo Ray had once asked her about it.
The answer he got was that one of Lion King Temple’s functions
was to produce giant Sacred Lion Guardians similar to those they had previously seen in Dragon’s Lair, each of them possessing formidable Tier 4 Peak Level strength.
Ariel Watson, as the Coldflame Fifth Princess, had seen eight of them, but she did not rule out the existence of other Sacred Lion Guardians.
After all, even though she was allowed to enter the Lion King Temple, her range of movement was limited to the main hall, and she was unable to casually explore other areas.
However, Ariel was certain that the Lion King Temple, as a Miracle Building, had more than just the Sacred Lion Guardian function.
As for other functions, Ariel had once curiously asked her father about it, and the answer she got was that one would only know if they went to the deepest part of Lion King Temple.
Beyond that, her father was unwilling to say anything else.
The deepest part of Lion King Temple could only be entered unimpeded by the wearer of the Coldflame Royal Crown, who must also possess the royal bloodline of Coldflame.
“In other words, the other functions of Lion King Temple are only known to the current Coldflame King, and considering its mysterious nature, there may very well be one or more powerful functions.”
Having thought of this, Leo Ray slightly nodded, and once again turned his attention to Asher Porter.
“Yes, Your Highness, that’s indeed the case.”
With a slight bow toward Ariel Watson, Asher Porter continued, “We, the magic guardians of Lion King Temple, were strictly prohibited from approaching within 500 meters of the temple.
At first, I thought it was just a prohibition to protect the Miracle Building, but later, something terrifying happened.”
Swallowing nervously, Asher Porter, who still seemed haunted by the events of that year, continued, “It was on a sunny afternoon, when I had just taken up my post. The day before, I had bragged at the dinner table that I dared to step within the 500-meter radius of Lion King Temple.
As a result, I was encouraged by my colleagues to cross the warning line by one step, and then, I was plunged into a living nightmare.”
Taking a deep breath, Asher Porter tried to calm himself down, and slowly said, “The moment I stepped over the warning line, a golden metallic fire lion roared furiously and charged at me with terrifying speed, as if it were a ghost.”
At this point, Asher’s voice, although seemingly calm, still gave the impression of a barely suppressed trembling.
He continued, “Amidst the trembling earth, an overwhelming sense of oppression and murderous intent weighed on me, making it difficult for me to breathe. I collapsed to the ground, and then the giant lion swiped its tail, sending a few of my colleagues flying dozens of meters away.
Immediately afterward, its enormous lion paw, at least as large as a horse-drawn carriage, was raised above my head, about to strike down…”
Bowing slightly to Ariel again, Asher Porter continued, “That feeling of being enveloped in murderous coldness, I still remember it vividly to this day. However, just as I was waiting for death’s embrace, a delicate figure in a pink princess dress with wavy hair appeared before me.”
Staring at Ariel with gratitude, Asher remained bowed as he said, “And then, because of Her Highness’s appearance, the giant lion stopped its attack, and the murderous intent vanished. Instead, it wagged its enormous tail at Your Highness…”
Hearing this, Leo Ray’s face showed a contemplative expression. Newest update provided by novel•fire.net
Without a doubt, the 500-meter radius surrounding Lion King Temple was the Sacred Lion Guardians’ automatic warning range.
The lion would naturally launch an offensive against anyone who crossed the line, like Asher.
As for why young Ariel appeared and stopped the Sacred Lion’s attack, the answer was simple.
