Soul of Burning Steel

Unlike the Shenji siblings who were happily guessing who the third legend was, Joshua knew from the very beginning that there would be no second candidate for the third legend of the empire other than Master Nostradamus.

Since the all-out war with the Orc Empire decades ago, Nostradamus, who has risen from the humble beginnings, has always been the one who has the highest reputation for achieving legends. As a commoner, he has experienced blood and fire in the war and led the army. Frustrating the conspiracy raids of the orc shaman legion several times, whether it is a scholar, a mage, a soldier, a general, Nostradamus has done it before, and they have all done it to the extreme.

It is precisely because of this that Israel, who was still the prince of the empire at the time, resisted all opinions and chose this commoner mage with no background as his teacher. For Nostradamus, it is also a ladder for him to reach the sky in one step and show his ambitions.

What happened next is well known. How Israel and Nostradamus teamed up to fight against the orcs has been recorded in history books and folk biographies. In the eyes of everyone, he faded away, and when he reappeared in everyone's field of vision, he had already become the president of the Imperial Royal Mage Association and the dean of the Imperial Capital Mage Academy, but his strength has always been at the peak of extreme intention, and he has no intention of breaking through mean.

Although it sounds like a story about the emperor oppressing his subjects and former teachers to make it impossible to break through in order to maintain absolute majesty, Joshua can say that this is not the case.

Let’s not say that Israel is not the kind of person who can’t see the strength of his subordinates. According to the relationship between the warrior and the old mage in the past few years, he has not found the other party’s desire to break through. Apart from government affairs, he spends most of his time on the students of the college. Regarding his own strength, his original words are enough.

"Breakthrough legend is a very risky thing. Reorganizing your own life form means completely transforming and sublimating your past self. Failure is almost equal to death. Even if you succeed, there will be a very long period of transformation. The cultivation period .”

He whispered to himself, and the soldier clenched his fists. At this time, he was in this long period of cultivation. Relying on the thinking and comprehension of the power of steel in the world of Grandia, coupled with the sublimation of the battle with Akhal, Joshua successfully broke through the boundaries of his own life, and stabilized this world with the power of the primordial fire. However, since then until now, he still hasn't completely transformed his body into 'steel'.

Decades ago, both the emperor and the first heir of the empire died in battle. Many nobles had different ideas. Undoubtedly, the great northern empire has been split into countless small countries. At that time, if Israel did not break through, it would mean his death and the country's destruction. There was only one option, but Nostradamus was different. After Israel broke through, he didn't have much need for power. On the contrary, what he needed was time.

In order to enable ordinary people to learn magic and understand the mysteries of truth in the world, in order to enable ordinary people to have the opportunity to enter the world and not waste their time because of their natural background, this is the wish of Nostradamus. Not too much power is needed, but long-term reforms are needed.

Advanced legend is the highest pursuit for ordinary people, but for that old man, it is probably not necessary, and there is even a risky choice. After all, if he fails, it means that his life's struggle will be for naught. meaningless.

——But why now, he suddenly changed his mind and wanted to break through?

Doubts flashed in his heart, but Joshua didn't think deeply. Anyway, all the questions will be answered in the spring of next year.

"alright."

The soldier clapped his hands and then stood up. He started and walked towards the study, followed by Yingying, Rin and Hei who hurriedly got up and followed. Joshua said to himself: "The miscellaneous things are over, the autumn harvest is over After that, the proliferating demonic beasts are almost wiped out."

"Tomorrow, the Knights will be summoned and preparations will be made to conquer the Mist of God's Evil."

And at the same time that the warrior made a decision, there was another world in the distance.

As all living beings know, everything that exists has an end, people die, iron rusts, burning fires die, evergreen pine trees rot, even the sea will dry up one day, and the mountains will collapse one day , the seemingly immortal world will also usher in its end on a doomed day in the distant future.

But how huge is a 'world'? The centipede is dead but not stiff. It exists like this. Even if it is dead, it will last for thousands of years. Disappeared among the stars' and fell into the bottom of the myriad worlds.

That is to say, the 'Abyss' that is hated and feared by countless civilizations and worlds.

One hundred and sixty-two floors of the abyss, a highly poisonous sea.

As the name suggests, this is a world infested with poison. The war of annihilation caused the continent to collapse, and the interface is filled with highly poisonous waters and oceans after the annihilation. Shuttle in the sea of ​​energy.

The venomous bugs and giant snakes living in the venom and negative energy are chaotic creatures without intelligence, they are the remnants of the wreckage of the civilization that survived after the death of the world. Due to the extremely harsh environment, even the abyss lords who ruled several abysses were unwilling to set foot here, so this world has remained independent for more than two thousand years since it fell into the abyss. However, according to legend, this is also because there is a giant python with strength comparable to a god lurking in the depths of the sea of ​​negative energy.

But this abyss world once known as the "Sea of ​​Toxic Poison", now has nearly ten thousand giant dragons settled in.

Accompanied by waves in time and space, a wave of waves began to spread with space distortion as the center. Afterwards, dozens of portals were opened, and thousands of extremely tired five-color dragons filed in, entering this world full of radiation and energy. The sea world of highly toxic dust.

For some reason, the poisonous insects and giant snakes, which were originally extremely xenophobic, would attack even the demon army in the scorching hell, did not respond to the entry of these giant dragons. These giant dragons built floating islands in the sky to recuperate.

Above the sky, three huge consciousnesses watched the giant dragons gather materials in situ, extract materials from the deep sea crust, and then quickly build floating islands. They were silent for a long time before they began to talk slowly.

"The great demon tide has come, but we have been driven out of the Mycroft world."

This voice belonged to the patriarch of the White Dragon, Bonar, the Lord of Frost. The legendary dragon's almost substantive thoughts contained a strong unwillingness: "The abyss is the bottom of the multiverse, and even the glory that benefits all living beings will be destroyed here." Weakened, coupled with the fact that our family has no chance of 'opportunity' in the world of Mycroft, it can be said to be a heavy loss."

"After all, we failed." The answer was the patriarch of the black dragon, Ke'ano, the sea dragon of the underworld. As the controller of negative energy, the legendary black dragon is very adaptable to the environment of the abyss of the poisonous sea, and it can even be said to be very satisfied, so its unwillingness It's not that heavy: "With Yigel alone, we may not be able to secure it even if we are besieged. Coupled with the sky dragon rider and the natural teacher, our family is only lucky if it is only a disastrous defeat rather than annihilation. We can't expect more .”

But the other blue dragon patriarch, the legendary blue dragon Endless Lanfeng Ruitia did not talk to the other two legendary dragons. Its jewel-like dragon pupils shone with misty brilliance, and swept across them in an instant. Of course, it found nothing in the countless sea areas. Except for the stupid sea snakes, it didn't see any trace of the legendary giant python.

After confirming this, Ritia felt a little relieved, so it waited until the two giant dragons finished complaining, and then said: "Maybe there is no chance."

The thoughts of the patriarch of the blue dragon are as swift as thunder. If the two giant dragons who are also legendary are not communicating with him, he may be injured by this too fierce will: "Although we evacuated with most of the five-color dragons, Mycroft World, but this does not mean that we cannot obtain those 'opportunities', whether it is you or me, there must be some elite secrets left on the mainland."

Both Bonnard and Keano stopped talking and listened to Ritia explaining its thoughts. As a long-standing 'partner' who has jointly ruled the five-color dragon, they must have a tacit understanding on the surface, and Ritia Tia also continued: "When the first wave of the great demon tide comes, most of the engravings from the gods in the boundless heaven will be shaken off. This was originally an opportunity for the tribes to obtain the inheritance of the gods of the ancient era, but those inferior races How can we compare with our giant dragon in terms of memory inheritance? The continuous war has long made them lack of classics in this area. I dare to assert that most of the forces now do not know the nature of those fogs, let alone their significance. !"

Having said that, the Legendary Blue Dragon seemed confident: "It's only been half a year since Starfall, even the mages in the Eastern Plains may not be able to figure out why, we just need to send some dragonmen, or let the giants It is enough for dragons to pretend to be humans and enter the mist in advance for trials. As long as they can avoid the eyes and ears of those inferior races, with the power of giant dragons, they can definitely obtain inheritance and divinity, and the power of our family can continue to grow. Such a bad influence!"

The blue dragon's plan is so simple that even a child can think of it, but it is very feasible. After all, although the five-color dragons have disappeared on the Mycroft Continent, there are still metal dragons wandering around. As long as the disguise is good enough, don't expose it. Due to its evil nature, very few people can tell whether the giant dragon in human form is a five-color dragon or a metal dragon.

In fact, it is true. Among the many forces on the Mycroft Continent, it is not that they have not seen which fallen stars are actually engraved by the gods, but they do not know how to break through the instinctive blockade of divine power and obtain the deepest inheritance. This mist formed by the memory and power of the lost god is like a huge maze of thinking. All beings caught in it will face one after another extremely difficult challenges. Only those who complete the challenges can inherit part of the power of this god. Rui Tia's ideas are not wrong, they do still have a chance.

"Abandon the targets located in the depths of the great forces. Those engravings are not something we can intervene in. Choose the inconspicuous engravings located on the edge of the continent as much as possible."

Legendary dragons set the tone.

So, not long after, in the Mycroft Continent, countless lurking shadows were ready to move, and a number of 'businessmen', 'scholars' and 'adventurers' took various vehicles and headed towards the area where the stars fell. And inadvertently, a faint vertical pupil could be seen disappearing in their eyes.

All plans are over, and the three legendary dragons continue to silently watch their group rebuild their homes in this abyss world bit by bit. The 162nd floor of the abyss will be renamed at this time.

[Longmian Abyss] is its name in the abyss realms in the future.

The reason for Calvin recently is this. Everyone knows that the last volume of the protagonist's advanced legend to save the world was a big climax, so the goal of this volume in the outline is to write some daily life and set up the atmosphere. There are only two sentences in the initial outline, [write more about Joshua’s daily life] and [describe the world after the magic wave], but when I really wrote it here, I was confused. I can’t write daily life. But the atmosphere of this book is completely different from the atmosphere I planned when I opened the book. Joshua doesn't seem like someone who will accompany his daughters to travel around the mountains and rivers, so I thought about it for a long time and decided to just get right to the point. ...

Recently, due to family reasons, the state is not good. Please forgive me, readers.
