Soul of Burning Steel

After reading his own character card, Joshua took a look at several other functions.

The achievement list, the lord system that I don’t remember when it was started, the task log, and things that have become garbled characters, I don’t know what it was before, there are so many items.

Because they are rarely used, or even not at all, Joshua has now discovered that these seemingly still existing options can no longer be opened, and are completely blocked. Only the character card is still normal, but there are also some malfunctions .

The system is close to collapse.

Although there is no evidence, the warrior can be sure that the system that accompanied him through time travel will completely disappear in the near future.

But don't care - Joshua didn't care about the source and truth of the system at all, he quickly put this matter behind him, and then began to think about the fog of God's Evil.

The existence of the mist of divinity, which comes from the dead gods, should not appear together with the gods of the races in the later stage of [The Advent of the Saints], and they will appear in the place where the boundless heaven and the Mycroft continent overlap , Interfering with the normal operation of an area, there was even a situation where the entire city was submerged in fog, and hundreds of thousands of people were pulled into the illusion.

But in fact, those are the remaining imprints of the main gods. Because they are too powerful and difficult to erase, they are remembered by the world. In the early days of the saint's advent, there was also a star falling to the ground and the mist spread. But the master of these mist, They are all secondary servant gods of the Era of Glory. Although they are also gods, their strength cannot compare to the true gods like the Mother of the Earth. It is precisely because their imprints are not stable enough to combine with the boundless heavens, so the Great Demon Tide fell off in the early stage. , fell into the mortal world.

These mist of gods and misfortunes did not cause many waves in the previous life, but created a lot of powerhouses with inferior god inheritance and divinity. With Joshua's current state, he was also qualified to ascend to the gods in the Guangyao Era , these inheritance and divinity from the gods are tasteless to him and useless.

But it's one thing for a soldier not to use it himself, but it's another thing whether his subordinates can use it.

Affiliated to the Black Forest Fortress, the "Iron Wall Knights" with 114 members, the "Frost Dragon Knights" with 15 members and 80 backup members directly under the Lord's Mansion, and the 250 teachers and students of Winter Castle College Fifteen people, even without counting scattered feudal knights scattered in various places, officers of the city guard with thousands of members, hired adventurers and the 3,000 private army that did not fill the establishment, the number of soldiers now has nearly 300 Named silver, digital gold, their strength can barely go to the mist for trials and get some benefits.

Even if there is no way to completely break through the level and get the final inheritance, going through the trial of a god will be of great benefit to them. This is why Joshua said that it is a good thing that a piece of God's Evil Mist fell on the Northland. A public 'dungeon', which can quickly improve the actual combat capabilities of soldiers, and make some preparations for the waves that will arise in the future.

"Go back to the city first."

With an arrangement in mind, Joshua nodded, and then continued to lead the team towards the main city of Moldavia not far away.

In order to train the group of young people behind him, he specifically asked Pope Igor to teleport them to the depths of the Ural Mountains, and then let them go cross-country on foot. Now it seems that those who can survive in the last days really have a certain ability to survive in the wilderness , even the youngest children can keep up and not be left behind. Of course, this is also because the fighters designed the most suitable breathing method for them.

Under the care of Hotaru and Rin, although the thirty or so young people from the world of Grandia were a little tired from the long journey, they were all full of energy, without any anxiety or impatience.

Until now, they don't know that they have come to a different world. They have lived in the southern wilderness since they were young. How can people who have not received knowledge and education understand the connection between the worlds and the mysteries of time and space? They just feel that they have been taken to a place far, far away from their hometown by a powerful mentor—there is no shadow of death, the sun is bright, and all living beings are full of vitality. Don't worry about death coming suddenly.

That's enough, to my heart's content.

Apart from these, they have no other thoughts.

At the same time, the imperial capital.

Israel and Nostradamus stood on the top of the three-mountain Aden fortress, with thin clouds floating under their feet, the ruler of the empire and the president of the Royal Wizards Association silently stared at a dozen bright silver stars It fell from the sky and landed in the territory of the empire.

The bright light reflected in their eyes. To these two extraordinary powerhouses, they were not stars, but large areas containing unparalleled divine power that had fallen from the outer layer of the world. The fall of the sky not only caused waves all over the continent, but also made the huge heaven hanging on the top of Mycroft's world tremble.

"Even the Seven Gods can't last long."

After a long time, after all the swaying stars had fallen, the old mage said leisurely: "The foundation anchoring the boundless heaven has been loosened, and no matter how much it can be repaired, it is irreparable. It is a foregone conclusion that the gods will descend into the mortal world as saints .”

"Everything is expected, the only thing that cannot be determined is when the follow-up demon tide will come." He muttered to himself, and suddenly, the noble emperor raised his brows. He looked to the north and said: " Oh? He's back."

Sensing the extremely faint breath of steel coming from afar, both of them showed a hint of surprise on their faces, but they were not very surprised.

"It seems that I have already been surpassed by him." Nostradamus looked a little weird, and a series of faint blue lights flashed subconsciously in the hands of the archmage who mastered time and space, but they were finally wiped out by himself: "Empire There will be a second legendary powerhouse."

"I'm not surprised that he has that capacity, opportunity and inheritance."

But there was a smile on Israel's face: "Igor hinted at this a long time ago. He probably thought that I would suppress Joshua. He can only say that the Pope is really old."

Without wasting words on this question, the two continued to look up at the twinkling stars in the sky.

In the silence, the incomparably majestic ruler of the empire suddenly spoke, and said softly to himself: "Teacher, I remember you once asked me what I was after."

"That was decades ago."

The eyes of the old mage looking up at the sky were blurred for a moment, and he said leisurely: "I remember you were still very young at that time."

"Yes, that was thirty-seven years ago."

Israel's expression softened, and he seemed to be lost in memories: "At that time, I was not the first heir, the empire was in an all-out war with the orcs, the front line was tense, and the two dukes and many nobles in the rear rebelled. Meaning. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, my father and my eldest brother led the five major armies to the front line of the Tataros Plateau. My elder brother joked to me at the time, saying that if he died, I would be the next one, whether it was going to the front line or the position of the emperor."

A slight wind blew by, bringing an unstable air flow between the three towering mountains. The pine leaves and branches between the clouds swayed in the wind, making the rustling sound like the sea tide come from the flowing clouds and mist.

"He didn't come back, and I went to war."

After a long time, the emperor said so. The tone of the legendary strong man did not have any ups and downs, only a touch of nostalgia: "At that time, my pursuit was that after the war was over, I could sleep well, without thinking about anything, and without being wary of the orcs. Assassin's surprise attack, you don't need to be angry and helpless because of the death of your relatives and comrades-in-arms every day-I don't want to be an emperor at all, I just want to kill all the orcs as soon as possible, and then use the fastest speed to end everything, and be a free adventurers, strolling along peaceful forest paths."

"But you can't." Nostradamus didn't look sideways at his students, he still looked at the sky, and calmly replied to the other party's emotion: "After the war, you will be the strongest in the empire."

"Yeah, I can't. This pursuit is too selfish and narrow."

Israel took a few steps forward and came to the end of the city wall. He stretched out his right hand, clenched his fist, and said in a tone that should be as it should be: "I am the strongest in the empire, and Dale is flowing in my body. With the blood of the Mond family, I beheaded the three great generals of the orcs, and the imperial army was firmly in my hands—the emperor died, who else could subdue the nobles of the empire, who could lead this army of warriors except me? An invincible army? This is my responsibility, and I must bear it."

"A person's pursuit will change, teacher."

He turned his head sideways, his eyes were piercing, and it seemed that some light was surging and boiling in the depths of his eyes: "Not long ago, because of a secret injury, my pursuit was to hand over the empire to the next successor as smoothly as possible. Don't let this big world be shaken by my death, but, thanks to Sir Radcliffe, that is already a thing of the past."

The old mage was silent with a smile, and His Majesty the Emperor also laughed and said: "They all said that the reason why you have not advanced to the Legendary Stage is because I want to have the absolute right to speak in the empire, so I will not let you advance."

"They all feel that Lord Radcliffe has obtained the power of the primordial fire to advance to legend, so I can't tolerate this young genius."

"But they are all wrong. My vision is more than that. The more powerful people in the empire, the happier I will be."

Nostradamus stared with relief at the emperor who showed his true inner thoughts without any concealment in front of him. He recalled the young man who followed him to learn how to govern the empire in the past.

The boy who was occasionally timid and shy is gone, and now there is an invincible hero who wiped out the orcs, suppressed thousands of nobles under the imperial power, made the northern empire flourish, and showed unprecedented prosperity.

The ruler of the empire grinned, and he opened his arms towards the sky, as if he wanted to embrace the galaxy: "It's just one legend, so what if there are two, three, or ten? The great demon tide is coming, There will be countless strong people in the world, so how can I be so worried and suppress talents because of such a trivial matter? As an emperor, how can I be such a superficial person."

"A cowardly person never knows what success is." He looked at Gao Tian, ​​and Israel's eyes were burning with unprecedented ambition, and the light of divinity emerged from his body, like a layer of raging flames.

"My pursuit is far beyond the sky and the stars."

Because the protagonist has changed his destiny, his thoughts will naturally change.

Kawenka was really good yesterday, so I can only groan...
