Soul of Burning Steel

Chasing the breath of order, Joshua found his target, a carriage driving on a country road.

The strength of the fourth inheritor is not strong, at most, she is only in the mid-level of the golden realm, and she does not hide her aura, so Joshua discovered her existence as early as more than ten kilometers away, and then accelerated all the way to follow come up.

The smoothness of the process was unimaginable, there was no fighting, no disturbing shadows of death, it was as simple as a dream.

When the soldier stood in the air above the carriage, he realized that his goal of coming to this world was about to be achieved.

The good news is indeed somewhat encouraging.

Leaking a little bit of coercion, Joshua ordered the two strong horses pulling the carriage to stop gradually, then lowered his head in fear, and the coachman who urged the horses to move also found the warrior who did not hide his figure. He knocked on the car window in a panic, loudly notifying the people inside that there was an accident outside.

Joshua didn't do anything else to stimulate these ordinary people from the Holy City. He just stood there quietly, waiting for his target—that is, the appearance of the fourth inheritor.

Next, the red-haired girl in the resonance illusion got off the carriage like this, stood on the ground, and looked at him.

The soldier's eyes were quickly attracted by the seemingly ordinary white robe on her body.

It was a clean robe that was not stained with any dust. Apart from some simple ancient runes, there was no decoration on it, but in Joshua's eyes, it could clearly see its essence.

Just as the Azure Orb is actually a flame that has not started to burn, the Double Blades of Order are two indestructible holy lights, and the pure white scepter is a vessel that carries the primordial fire. This seemingly ordinary robe is made of Countless star-like textures are woven layer by layer. It does not use any mundane materials. It is all about majestic energy and runes. Even Joshua can't see clearly what is in it for a while. How many runes and how much energy it contains, spreading it out and turning it into a magic circle may be enough to cover an entire continent, and when the energy is fully released, it can easily destroy anything.

The soldier vaguely thought of a similar existence—the Array of Apocalypse, a huge magic array that accommodates the souls of the entire world's population in a different world civilization. Perhaps only this kind of existence can compare the true form of this robe.

Joshua's full attention was focused on the inheritance robe, but on the other side, Silya's attention was all focused on the warrior.

It's an indescribable feeling.

Silya has wandered in this doomsday world for twenty-seven years, and she has seen countless intelligent life forms. During this long time, the girl has developed a certain ability.

As long as you see a person, you can roughly see the essence of a person.

Wise, insidious, bold, reckless, with a strong heart, calm and stubborn... Even some people who are good at hiding their true nature will reveal their true nature in some inadvertent actions, and then let Xierya notice.

But the man in front of me...

Shiriya raised her head and looked at the other person's eyes like lava balls. The girl's heart couldn't help trembling. What kind of eyes are those eyes? All the emotions of ordinary people are buried in them, but they don't look like constructs. That kind of sluggish and ruthless, terrifying coercion that could almost make people kneel in an instant is contained in it, and it seems that it may erupt at any time.

Natural disasters, not human beings.

It was as if facing a volcano that was about to erupt and a sense of danger that was about to be suppressed by a tsunami urged him to flee as soon as possible, away from this extremely powerful existence that he couldn't detect, even if he was the leader of the undead army who had been chasing and killing him. The degree of terror may not be comparable to him.

And the next moment, the man spoke.

"Finally found you, the last inheritor."

The voice was deep and penetrating, and there was a faint clang similar to the clanging of steel. He said in an unexpectedly relaxed tone, as if to a friend: "This world is too dangerous, you need to hurry up and follow me!" Let's go back together."

"The last inheritor...are you talking about me?"

Silya quickly realized who the other party was talking about as the last inheritor. She stroked the robe on her body with a complicated expression, but subconsciously took a step back.

If it was before, she probably would have left without hesitation with this strong man, but now, after knowing the truth... she doesn't want to leave at all.

And the other party immediately discovered this.

"You don't believe me. That's right, you and your family may not remember your mission after wandering abroad for so many years."

Nodding slightly, the man said: "But even if you don't believe me, you should believe in this light."

He stretched out his right hand slightly, his heart was beating, and he made a heavy sound, and a group of blue light condensed with this sound, turning into a group of slightly burning flames in the man's palm.

This flame released light and heat. Although it was weak, it drove away all the haze and dullness around it. When Xierya saw it, an incomparable sense of security quickly occupied every corner of her heart. She knew that holding on The person with this flame is undoubtedly her companion. Such an orderly light without any impurities instinctively attracts all the inheritors, as if a signal in the night sky attracts them to gather.

"……no."

Shiriya took a long breath, stopped her trembling, and calmed down the body that was about to touch the flames, she said in a low but unexpectedly firm voice: "I won't follow you Go back... I won't go to that world!"

In the words, there is a shocking obvious disgust, and an extremely determined heart.

After hearing this, Joshua frowned slightly.

"Although I don't know why, you refuse my request, and you are so unwilling to return to the hometown of your ancestors. You must know that there are many undead in this world who are chasing and killing you. If it wasn't for Urbani's protection, you might dead long ago."

He put away the light of the Azure Orb in his hand, took out a mirror from his pocket, Joshua poured the power of order into it, and then said lightly: "So this is not up to you."

The next moment, the soldier forcibly activated the sacred artifact made by the old pope, and informed the other party that he had found the fourth inheritor, and his tone did not change at all: "I don't like to force a person to do something he doesn't like, especially Force a girl, but now, the robe on your body bears the lives of tens of thousands of people in the whole world, and I will not show mercy for this."

Sensing the change in Joshua's attitude, Shiriya immediately planned to turn around and flee. Following her intention, a little light flashed on the robe. It was a spell that was naturally produced by the connection of countless runes. After a moment, the girl's figure changed Turning into a stream of light, she had fled thousands of meters away in just a short moment.

The high-level professionals in Grandia's world essentially use the power of magic energy obtained by absorbing the original crystal in their bodies. When they use it, they can have dozens of tons of physical strength or enough destructive power to knock down a small building. But this is already the limit, and it is absolutely impossible to use a secret method similar to teleportation. During the years of fleeing, Xierya has already broken through the level of the realm. At this moment, she can use the infinite power contained in the air of the earth , can communicate with the free magic energy in the surrounding environment, and pull and control the energy of heaven and earth.

With the help of this majestic energy and the miraculous power of the magic robe, the Dragon Wing girl was able to activate the light-transforming method similar to teleportation three times in a row. During the pursuit of the undead army, this skill saved her countless times, no matter how tight the encirclement was Also get rid of this speed.

But this time, there was an accident.

Joshua stood on the spot without moving. He just concentrated on sensing for a while, and then a thought flashed. The next moment, Shiriya, who had fled to the wilderness more than 3,000 meters away and was about to activate the second secret technique, Then I felt a huge force in the air that could not be rejected or resisted. This force seemed to be like a blazing sun, repelling all the power of heaven and earth that was gathering around her. Next, the energyized hand, He held the girl tightly in his palm, and then quickly 'sent' her back to the carriage.

"Don't try to escape."

With his hands behind his back, looking at the dragon wing girl who was sent back at several times the speed of sound, the soldier walked forward slowly, and he calmly said: "Unless you can fly ten kilometers away from my domain in an instant, otherwise, you Even if you go to heaven, you can't leave."

The giant energy hand dissipated, and the red-haired girl fell to the ground in a state of embarrassment. She pursed her lips and stood up, glaring at the soldier with some hatred, but completely gave up the idea of ​​running away.

"Then now."

Not caring about the attitude of the other party, Joshua walked up to Xierya, and he asked in a strange tone: "Can you tell me why you want to run away?"

The soldier asked himself that his attitude was already very peaceful, and the fourth inheritor didn't seem to be affected by his aura of despair, so he wouldn't be afraid to run away, not to mention that he had already revealed the light of the Azure Orb, since as the inheritor , then he can naturally understand that he is her companion.

In the world of Grandia, countless undead are chasing the dragon wing girl. From Urban Deni's mouth, Joshua naturally learned of Silya's dangerous situation in this world. The other party who had worked so hard to escape would go back with him gratefully, but he didn't expect this reaction in the end.

But no matter how the soldiers asked, how threatened and lured, Xierya just refused to speak with a face of death. Joshua was very helpless about this. He is a companion who fights against Chaos together, of course he can't be too intimidating, and he can't say the lines that are obviously villains.

But this is not important, anyway, what Joshua wants is a robe, not a person, so it doesn't matter if the girl agrees or not.

In the holy mirror presented by Pope Eagle, there began to be holy rays of light gradually fluctuating, and the layers of ripples seemed to be thrown into a calm lake of stones. Soon after, the ripples subsided, and an old face appeared, the old pope on the other side of the world He said loudly in a tone of uncontrollable surprise: "Joshua, have you found the fourth inheritor!?"

"Ah, that's right."

Joshua squinted at the red-haired girl who seemed to be stubbornly persevering to the end. He thought for a while, but found that he didn't ask her name, so he skipped a sentence: "I found her, but she looks Very uncooperative and unwilling to come back with me."

"This is a very normal thing. You are asking someone to leave their hometown and go to another world with you, an outsider who is not familiar with you. It would be abnormal if she agreed with one word." Silya spoke, and through Joshua's adjustment of the mirror, Igor saw the girl with dragon wings bound in place by the fighting spirit of the warrior. Just like Joshua, he saw through the essence of the simple robes on the girl at a glance. , that is the material existence constructed by the endless order runes, just a glance, the old pope fully confirmed that this is exactly the fourth inheritance.

But at this time, Eagle's tone turned serious. In the mirror, the old Pope frowned slightly: "But Joshua, I really didn't expect you to find your target so quickly."

According to Eagle's conjecture, even with Joshua's strength, it is very difficult to find an inconspicuous sage inheritance holder in a completely strange world. It is possible every year, and the Church of the Seven Gods has even made long-term preparations. It was completely unexpected that the fighters would find their target in less than a month.

This speed can be said to be a bit too fast, so fast that it exceeds expectations.

"So, the transmission channel has not been fully constructed yet."

After hesitating for a while, Eagle still told the truth: "The last time I sent you there was a hasty move. The transmission channel was completely broken after that. Now we are building a new and more stable space-time channel. The magic wave is coming, and it will never be affected, but this channel has not been fully built, even if it is sent back, it is very reluctant."

"Do you want to wait a little longer? After five days, the teleportation channel will be officially opened. At that time, it will be easy to teleport your black dragon together."

"No." After hearing the news, Joshua frowned slightly, and then his eyes lit up as if he had thought of something good. He shook his head and refused, "Night has long dreams, I will send her back now, if I can , Your Majesty, you can also ask why she resists our kindness so much."

"In that case, as you wish."

Now that Joshua has made a decision, the old Pope will not refuse. The face of the old man in the Holy Land gradually disappeared, leaving only the last sentence: "I am going to open the portal, get ready."

At this time, two people from the holy city, a coachman and a woman stood in front of the carriage, watching this scene in shock, they couldn't understand what was going on at all—the man who was too powerful Who is the strong man who is inferior to the city lords? Who is he talking to? And why did they catch that ordinary dragonborn girl?

Because what Joshua and the old pope said just now are the lingua franca of the Mycroft continent, not to mention them, even Shiriya couldn’t understand it at all. The Grandia world and the Mycroft continent do have some connections, The relationship between the two lingua francas is similar to French and Latin, but even so, it is not something that ordinary people without research can tell.

And the next moment, they were no longer in the mood to think about other things—in front of their eyes, in the middle of the endless wilderness, ripples like flowing water suddenly appeared. In the center of the wave, this gap is surrounded by layers of mysterious and complicated runes, making it gradually expand over time, as if the buzzing sound of gears meshing and running, making everyone present in a trance.

Next, a gap that could only be barely passed by one person opened, and Joshua was completely unaffected by the sound of time and space. He directly grabbed Shiriya and grabbed the dragon whose name he didn't know yet like a chicken. The winged girl threw the fourth inheritance item, causing the gaps to merge suddenly, leaving only a small remnant the size of a fist.

— Honestly, it seems a bit like alien abduction.

When Throwing the shocked and bewildered Silya into the space-time gap, Joshua suddenly had such a thought in his heart. Think carefully, aren't they from another world aliens in a sense? For their own purposes, forcing the fourth inheritor who is a local to go to their world is undoubtedly kidnapping. Seriously speaking, he, the Earl of the Northland and the Pope of the Church of the Seven Gods, has nothing to do with the kidnappers who extorted money. what a difference.

But even if it's kidnapping, it doesn't matter. After the four major inheritances are gathered together, you can learn the mystery about the initial fire. This is related to the life and death of hundreds of millions of people in Mycroft Continent. If only kidnapping can solve it, Qiao Xiu It doesn't matter how many times you do it.

"Then, I will trouble you."

The voice of the old Pope came from the reactivated Holy Mirror, and Silya could vaguely hear such angry voices as "Put me back!" and "You bastards!", but whether it was him or The soldiers ignored it as if they couldn't hear it, and Eagle said with some emotion: "I don't know if the other side of the world is dangerous or not, and I don't know how your current situation is, but don't worry, in five days at the earliest, the official The space-time channel will be opened, and at that time, the power of the Church of the Seven Gods will be able to directly intervene in this world."

"Dangerous... definitely dangerous."

Joshua turned his head to look at the southern wasteland. He thought of the more than 30 survivors who were in the wasteland. Five days later, the teleportation channel was opened again, and those children would not have to stay in the wasteland to struggle for survival. He said softly: " The world is striding toward the end...if I hadn't been on a mission...wait."

Speaking of this, the soldier suddenly remained silent. He frowned and pondered for a while, and then his heart suddenly brightened.

He has found the fourth inheritor and the inheritance, and sent them back. Just now, he threw the dragon wing girl into the space-time gap and sent it to the old pope.

This means... Now there is nothing that can restrain him!

At this moment, many things flashed through Joshua's mind. For example, when he first came to this world, he saw that team of knights. Every day, he searches for the necessary supplies in the dangerous jungle and wilderness. As a mountainous titan, Urbani must be on guard against possible undead raids at any time, even with his peak strength in the sky, there is a possibility of falling.

This world is so dangerous and ruthless, without the slightest order and warmth, the shadow of death has ended the possibility of all human survivors on the land re-developing civilization, even the survivor towns in the southwestern wasteland have gradually begun to communicate with each other. Nothing, but in the face of the surging army of dead shadows, only more than thirty children survived in the end.

Dilapidated towns, old diaries, confused children who don't know where to go, bloodthirsty undead, confused souls, and former heroes who wanted to die.

The fourth inheritor kept silent about this, she must know the deepest secrets of this world, that's why she showed this gesture, but it was because of this that the warrior could be sure.

This world is sick, so sick that people who know the truth dare not speak out.

So someone needs to treat it.

Thinking of this, Joshua laughed out loud. He clenched his hands into fists and tensed his joints, making a loud noise like thunder. This laughter was transmitted far away, even the old pope at the other end of the space-time tunnel could clearly hear it.

The next moment, under Eagle's doubtful inquiry, the soldier stretched out his hand and pressed it on his heart, as if a tsunami-like life energy stirred up and forced an azure orb out of his body. Joshua didn't hesitate, So he threw this inherited object that had accompanied him through countless battles into the space-time gap that was only the size of a fist. Then, with a point of his index finger, the fiery grudge directly sealed the space-time channel, cutting off the connection between the two worlds. All links.

"Joshua, what are you doing?!"

The roar of the old pope was transmitted to the soldiers' ears through the realm of holy brilliance, and he asked in an almost questioning tone: "Why did you separate the Azure Orb in your body?!"

"Gathering the four heritage items, you should be able to find the mystery of the primordial fire under the Pope's crown." After losing the Azure Orb, Joshua's face turned pale, but since all the life energy contained in the Azure Orb had been taken by him It is not necessary to shape the body of a titan, so it has no effect on his strength. After hearing Eagle's words, Joshua smiled indifferently: "And I, of course, do what I want to do."

After speaking, he raised his head and looked at the dim dawn that was gradually rising. His smile gradually faded, and his expression gradually became calm and heavy.

"A world was suffering before my eyes."

"Thousands of sentient beings weep and mourn before my eyes."

"How can I sit idly by, how can I be indifferent."

Joshua sighed deeply: "After I came to this world, I always felt that my thoughts were not clear enough. Now that I think about it, in order to find the fourth inheritor as soon as possible, I really suppressed my heart and did a lot less. "

"But now it's different, I'm free."

The soldier stretched out his right hand. A touch of metal suddenly appeared in this indestructible right hand. Although this hand seemed ordinary, all the materials within hundreds of meters around it, whether it was rocks or carriages, humans or The trees were lightened out of thin air, and some lighter dust and rocks had begun to lose their gravity. Under Joshua's control, they slowly floated around the hand, like a satellite.

"I'm close to the realm of legend."

He said lightly: "There is no need to worry about my safety."

"Since the fourth inheritor refuses to tell, then I will go find it myself. Find out the truth of this world's brink of destruction, and reverse it."

"This is the choice that the inheritors of the sages should make."

At this time, Joshua started to smile again, it was the smile shown by a soldier when his fighting spirit was burning. Next, he took the Holy Brilliance Realm back into his arms, instead of listening to the old pope's reprimand on the other side of the world language.

Of course Joshua knew that this choice was willful.

However, the strong have the right to be self-willed.

Boom, his whole body began to burn with raging flames. The flames were bright, like a sun, carrying the surging tide of life to replace the dawn, illuminating this dark and gloomy world.

That is the rage and light released by the Soul Burner in the face of this world.

the other side of the world.

The Mycroft Continent, the Holy Mountain in the Far Sea, and the Church of the Seven Gods.

Inside the Temple of the Stars, the old Pope Igor crushed the mirror in his hand for communication with a look of anger. He took a deep breath and suppressed the anger deep in his heart.

This Joshua, he didn't understand how important his existence was!

Throughout the thousand-year history of the Mycroft Continent, there are hundreds if not thousands of people who have held the legacy of the sages. Just the holder of the Pure White Rod includes the Popes of the Seven Gods and several highly respected high priests. The Chaos family's double blades of order were worn by all members of the family for a period of time until the pair of double blades chose their own masters, not to mention the Azure Orbs that were wandering outside and handled by countless people.

But even with so many people, after so many years, only the Azure Orb in Joshua's hands has achieved what no one else has ever been able to do—integrate the inheritance with himself.

"He may be someone who has been truly recognized by the sages... His existence is more important than a dead thing!"

Holding the azure orb in his hand, which still exudes the warmth of a warrior's heart, the old pope's heart that had always been calm began to burst into anger again, but when he turned his head, he saw the silent red-haired girl who was still bound , Igor sighed, then stretched out his hand and lifted the bondage on the opponent.

"I'm sorry, but our actions were too reckless."

The voice from the soul appeared deep in Silya's heart. Although Pope Eagle does not know the common language of the world of Grandia, he can transmit voices from the heart, and there is no need to use any overnight language: "Although it is a bit abrupt , but now I can only ask you to live here temporarily, Joshua—that is, the person who sent you here has gone to investigate the truth of your world, maybe he will solve those troubles."

"Is he...he is indeed very strong, but if he wants to solve the disasters that our world has encountered...it is impossible."

During telepathy, both sides of the conversation can hardly conceal their true inner thoughts. Shiriya discovered this at the moment when she just started the conversation, but at this time the girl in another world doesn't care anymore, she lightly Lightly telling part of the truth about this world.

"The shadow of death is a natural disaster, which is the punishment of the sages."

She said this in a calm and desperate tone: "My ancestors were just jailers guarding criminals, and the whole world is a cage for traitors."

I'll fix it later
