Soul of Burning Steel

Starfall 834, March 21st, Northern Moldavia, early morning.

Accompanied by the noisy chirping of snow eagles in the sky, the bell tower of the cathedral sounded gentle bells. At this time, the dark clouds cracked, revealing the faintly pale eastern sky, and the smoke from the roof of the stone house heralded the coming of a new day.

But this new day is not as peaceful as usual.

Adventurers who got up early or returned late walked on the avenue of the main city. They wore leather armor or cloaks, but they all put away their swords. In Moldavia, apart from the forces subordinate to the Lord's Mansion, there was no It is not allowed to wear weapons in the city, and on both sides of the avenue, all kinds of shops, such as blacksmith shops, enchanting workshops and taverns have not yet opened their doors, and the shopkeepers can be vaguely seen from the glass of the windows. Prepare the goods and drinks that will be sold the next day.

But because of an inexplicable sense of foreshadowing, the hurried pedestrians on these streets couldn't help raising their heads and looking at the sky, and the shop owners of various shops also hurriedly opened their doors and looked at the heights that made them secretly frightened.

So, people opened their eyes wide.

Over this city made of rock and steel, light suddenly bloomed, accompanied by the buzzing sound of gears gnashing like a machine, rainbow-colored auroras composed of magical power appeared without warning, hanging in the sky. superior.

The light of the morning sun can't cover the surging tide of magic power at all, countless colors converge into light, and the aftermath of the terrifying power from outside the world sweeps across the edge of the Mycroft Continent for the first time, and the weakest barrier of time and space Beidi became the first to bear the brunt. I saw that the original blue sky suddenly turned gray blue, and the stars in the sky appeared among the clouds like tulle. The power of words.

And the center of the city, the top of the tower of the Lord's Mansion.

"Are you leaving?"

Floating beside the warrior, the blue-haired artificial intelligence lady asked softly: "The first aftermath has come, and the tide of magic power will soon descend on this world. Are you sure you want to leave at this time?"

It's too dangerous. This is a sentence she didn't say. The space-time sea of ​​the multiverse will be disturbed by the terrifying energy flow. If you set off to a different world now, it means that you will not be able to return to the Mycroft Continent in the next few months. If there is any unforeseen danger there, the soldiers will have no retreat.

"Of course." Standing on the edge of the tower, the man who didn't care looked at the magical aurora surging in the sky, and he said calmly; "If we wait until a few months later, when the magic tide really descends and subsides before setting off, then Too late."

Joshua turned his head and said seriously to No. 3: "Thank you very much for helping to take care of the territory all the time. This time I will go out for a long time, so I will continue to trouble you again."

"It's nothing, I was originally created to manage the city." Floating aside, playing with her hair, the artificial intelligence lady said in an indifferent tone that she had long been accustomed to: "It's you, don't be unable to come back."

"Just looking for something, I will take you out next time."

Hearing this, the soldier smiled indifferently. He noticed No. 3's slightly dissatisfied tone, so he bent over and leaned into the other's ear and said, "After I leave, you can go to my study."

"There are surprises."

Number 3 trembled slightly, and then regained her composure. She opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just shook her head, and the magic projection located here shattered into pieces of light.

Today is the scheduled departure day.

The Holy Mountain of the Far Sea has already made all the preparations. The space-time coordinates leading to the distant world have been checked time and time again by countless clergymen, and finally they got a perfect result.

After No. 3 left, Joshua stood alone on the tower, looking at the city below him that belonged to him.

The main city of Moldavia has undergone tremendous changes since he first inherited the title. The blacksmith shop that used to burn coke to heat steel has now become a high-end workshop using element magic furnaces. Production capacity and various novel magical creations have made weapons shops, tailor shops and enchanting workshops updated many times. Although Moldavia is not visible on the surface, in fact, it is no less than the eastern part in terms of technology. Those big cities on the plain where mana technology is popular.

Under No. 3's 24/7 monitoring, there was almost no crime in this city except for some trivial matters that were really out of control, such as theft and fraud. The robbery and intimidation will be discovered at the beginning, and then stopped by the city guards who rushed over, but to be honest, because of the prestige of the local lord, generally speaking, no one dares to commit crimes in this city.

Ten minutes later, the aurora in the sky slowly faded, and all the hazy starlight in the sky also dissipated. The first aftermath before the magic tide came to an end. In the next few months, this aftermath will become more and more frequent. Until the magic tide really comes.

And behind Joshua, a dark blue time-space door is slowly opening.

The soldier turned his head, and it was the old Pope Igor who opened the door of time and space in front of him. At the other end of the door was the interior of the Great Temple of the Holy Mountain in the Far Sea.

"Are you ready?" said the old man, his expression looked a little tired. He had tested and calculated the world at the other end of time and space for more than ten days in a row. Woolen cloth?"

"It's already here." Joshua turned his head to look at the entrance and exit of the tower. Hotaru and Rin walked out quickly, and hurriedly came to the side of the warrior. They seemed to be saying goodbye to Hei before, and they smelled of sulfur and flames.

"very good."

Seeing this, Pope Eagle took a deep breath, and the white-haired old man said in a deep voice, "The magic circle has been prepared, and you can start as soon as you think it's okay."

"Then what are you waiting for?" Joshua immediately replied, with a relaxed smile: "I can't wait."

So, the next moment, the warrior brought his own weapon and entered the gate of time and space.

The faint blue door slowly closed, and then completely dissipated.

And just after the time-space gate completely disappeared, in the mid-air, the magic light spots gathered to form a lifelike projection. Miss Artificial Intelligence quietly looked at the place where Joshua left.

After a long silence, she whispered to herself, "The study?"

In the next moment, the projection of No. 3 appeared in the soldier's study. Within the area covered by the rune crystal energy, artificial intelligence is everywhere. Whether it is Joshua's study or the most remote street corner in the main city of Moldavia, she can reach it in just one thought.

The soldier's study room is very simple, except for the desk full of official documents, there are sofas and chairs for resting. There are maps of Moldavia, Northland, Empire and Mycroft on the walls, but now , but there is an extremely huge iron box located in the very center of the study.

No. 3 floated forward with some curiosity. She could see that there was a mechanism button on the surface of the iron box. Miss Artificial Intelligence pressed it without hesitation. With the sound of gears running, the huge iron box slowly opened. reveals what has been carefully placed at its very center.

"Eh?"

After seeing this thing, No. 3 was stunned for a moment.

What appeared in front of her was an exquisite puppet that was almost similar to her appearance and seemed to be made of liquid metal.

Ada Gray Island, a holy mountain in the far sea.

Behind the Moldavian time-space gate in the early morning is the Great Temple of the Holy Mountain at noon.

The holy mountain above the clouds is shrouded in light, and the golden radiance fills the majestic temple made of white marble. Its dome is a bright star map, and its walls are embossed stone walls engraved with mountains, rivers and earth. At this time, it can be seen from the place closest to the sky, above the distant sky, there are stars shining and falling, turning into meteors and passing across the distant sky.

Joshua took Hotaru and Rin, followed the footsteps of the old pope across the gate of time and space, and came to the center of the temple. Igor just looked at the red shooting star and sighed softly: "There is another meteor from another world." Things fell..."

Whether it is the Fusion Star or the Luna Silver Diamond, they were originally meteors that fell from the sky. They came from the wreckage of other worlds that had been destroyed, and were finally captured by the power of the Mycroft world, forming many magical treasures.

Their appearance means that a whole world collapses nearby or in the distance, and endless matter is flying in the void, which is why the old pope sighed.

Who knows if the Mycroft world will be destroyed next?

"Come with me, the teleportation gate is in another temple."

Igor didn't say any more useless words to Joshua at this time, he knew that the character of a soldier doesn't like meaningless communication, so the old pope walked directly towards the goal: "Although we have recently The calculations have been done very well, but this does not mean that the transmission channel is perfect, I want to tell you about this in advance, so that you can be prepared."

He began to tell Joshua in detail about the different world he was going to explore this time.

Located at the far end of time and space, the world where the inheritance of the fourth sage resides is a normal world suitable for human survival. Its ecological environment is not much different from that of Mycroft's world. Soldiers do not need to prepare any special preparations when going there. Only props can survive, which is great news, because Joshua's actions will not be restricted.

However, due to the rush of time and the fact that the distance is too far, the Church of the Seven Gods did not have time to prepare too many materials to expand the time-space channel. The power is not enough, maybe it will cause the transmission to fail.

"Your dragon is too big, even if it becomes a human, it will be inconvenient, so it can't be taken there for the time being."

This is something that I have discussed with Joshua a long time ago. Hei cannot go on an expedition with the warrior this time, and Igor explained the reason in detail this time, but after thinking about it, he immediately said: "However, if If you need it, I can send her there with some support materials when I open the portal for the second time, which will take about ten days."

"It's not necessary."

Hearing this, Joshua shook his head. He couldn't help but think of Hei Fei's extremely embarrassed appearance. The soldier didn't know whether to be angry or laugh, but in the end, he still turned his head to face Yi. Pope Geer said sincerely: "Your Majesty, if possible, I would like to ask you to train my dragon well—at least let her not scream when she flies."

"This... is of course no problem, but..."

The old pope blinked, he didn't realize what the soldiers said, but after he realized it, the pope was confused: "Fly? Screaming? Why? It's no problem to help you train. There are several old people in the church The Legendary Dragon Rider's Manual for How to Train the Dragon..."

But then, Igor suppressed the doubts in his heart temporarily. Although he didn't hear what Joshua said before, the old Pope knew that there were still some things that the soldiers needed to know: "Leave this alone, Joshua , do you know? This time the action of exploring another world has actually been affirmed by almost all the legendary human beings in the entire continent."

"Oh? What does this mean?" Joshua replied with great interest.

He didn't seem very surprised, because the warrior knew that although the search for the fourth inheritance seems to be a private matter of the church, it is actually a major issue related to the maintenance of the entire world. It is not surprising to have the support of other legendary powerhouses, at least Nature Mentor and Israel are among the supporters.

It's not surprising Joshua's attitude, the old Pope said seriously: "This means that you have obtained the protection of all of them - before you come back, there will be a plurality of legendary strongmen guarding your territory and hometown all the time, no matter what Powerful cultists or five-star dragons are vulnerable to them, so you can explore with confidence without worrying about any worries."

This is indeed unexpected good news. Joshua couldn't help but nodded. In this way, Moldavia might become the safest place in the world. Time to make trouble guys.

They don't know what is waiting for them.

While talking, everyone has arrived at their destination.

【Star Temple】

The location of the large teleportation array is located in the Temple of Stars, one of the subordinates of the Central Great Temple. Now its gate is blocked by a layer of translucent white-gold light film, and a group of bright Holy Spirit rose in the hands of the old Pope. Light, this holy light changed form like a living thing in Eagle's hands, and then turned into a rune composed of countless light spots and stars. He stretched out his hand and pushed forward, the runes fit together, and the light film opened in response to the sound .

Inside the wide hall of the temple, there are densely packed and complicated runes all over every corner. They respond to the twisting of energy, and emit blue fluorescence one by one. In the center of the hall, there is a looming space-time gap, Supported by the power of the runes, it unfolded, and behind it was the phantom starlight that flickered, and the mountains, trees, rivers and lakes at the other end of time and space could be vaguely seen.

"It's here."

The old pope stopped in his tracks. He looked at the dark blue gap, and his eyes stayed for a few seconds. Then he reached out and groped in his arms, and took out a small mirror the size of his palm. Eagle carefully handed it over to Warrior: "Take it, Joshua."

"What is this?" The soldier took the mirror and asked casually, frowning slightly.

"The mirror of holy brilliance, it can detect the breath of holy light, and guide you as much as possible to the location of the holy relic."

On the Mycroft Continent, the mirror is a prop that represents mystery. It is the first thing made by human beings that can clearly see their own appearance. This also means that human beings have recognized themselves clearly for the first time. Most of the magic props used to find and explore the truth will use mirrors as carriers.

There is no belief in the Holy Light in the other world, so apart from the things inherited by the sages, there is no other breath of the Holy Light, so as long as you feel the power of the Holy Light, then the things inherited by the sages are correct.

At this time, Igor did not continue to move forward. As a legendary powerhouse, the energy level around him will spontaneously affect all rune structures. It would be fine if he was alone, but the warrior is here now. When they get close, the power of the two will superimpose, which will affect this fragile space-time gap, and even cause it to collapse.

The old man's expression was a little nervous, but Joshua continued to move forward without changing his face. Igor wanted to start several times, reminding the casual man in front of him to be careful, but in the end he closed his mouth and chose to believe other side.

After all, the Warriors never let anyone down.

Stepping out step by step, and finally staying in the dark blue gap leading to a distant alien world, Joshua felt a completely different feeling from all previous teleportation.

The light and shadow from another world changed endlessly in front of his eyes, and the small blue gap was like a vortex in the depths of the ocean, exuding an ominous and dark smell. This smell is exactly the same as the world of Karliss and Irgnar, and even the Blood Moon Abyss. It exudes the rancid smell of despair, pain and death, and it is the helpless cry of the world coming to an end.

—Is it another sad world?

He thought of this, but his heart was like still water, without the slightest wave.

"Joshua, you are the hope of the future. Your value is greater than the invisible fourth inheritance." Suddenly, the voice of the old pope came from behind the soldier. Said: "If you encounter any danger, then use that mirror to inform me, no matter what the price is, I will let you return safely."

Hearing these words, Joshua, who had his back turned to Eagle, showed a sincere smile.

He didn't look back, but raised his hand and shook it.

Don't worry.

"I'll go back as soon as I go."

Then, the warrior took the hands of his own weapons and strode forward.

Therefore, time and space change.

In the next instant, Joshua disappeared into a curtain of blue light.

5000 words, thank you for your rewards, and congratulations for two more leaders in this book, fisher slow fisherman and QAQ Hui boss!
