Soul of Burning Steel

"Those four goblin ladies are just the avatars of the four goblin queens stored in the outside world."

Turning his head to look at the corridor inside the palace, Israel stared at the direction in which they were leaving, and said softly: "The four queens of the fairy goblins sleep in the goblin town, no, they are the goblin town itself, the four most powerful The goblins formed the element cycle of that demiplane, making it similar to a small world, and attached to the outside of the Mycroft Continent... The truth and concepts contained in this are not even understood by me now, but there is no doubt that What's more, their strength has already reached the legend hundreds of years ago, and their background is far above the ordinary legend."

Joshua nodded, he had heard about the relevant information before.

The Fairy Township in the previous life has always been very mysterious. When the Northern Empire faced the invasion of the abyss, it was defeated successively in the early stage, lost a lot of land, and the imperial capital was almost captured. The girl went to the land of ashes of the later generations, and joined hands with the dwarves to build the Naya Fortress. While resisting the attacks of demons, she quickly cultivated the Valkyries by fighting.

The so-called Valkyries are powerful beings who can sign contracts with fairies and become magic warriors. Every Valkyrie has a dwarf who forges his own armor and a goblin to rely on. With their excellent weapons and armors, as well as their contracts with goblins, the highly trained female warriors can display extraordinary martial arts and magic power. They have made indelible contributions in the war against the abyss, defeating at least four A large-scale demon raid.

And in the later period of the war, the four elemental Valkyries who were rumored to be possessed by the Fairy Queen could even use legendary martial arts and high-level magic at the same time. — After all, it is equivalent to two fighting one. If it weren't for the fact that there are too many demons, the goblins can't bear the decaying atmosphere of the abyss. Otherwise, these Valkyries would have counterattacked the abyss like other legends, instead of staying garrisoned all the time In Naya Fortress.

"Your magical machine has actually been supported by goblin technology. Hotaru and Rin are called by this name, right? The essence of their existence is actually the artificial spirit attached to the weapon. In a sense, it is an accessory of the artificial goblin. The product, if they come, it should make those goblins very happy, after all, they haven't seen a new kind for many years."

While talking, Israel opened the door to Fairy Town.

Facing the center of the palace, a huge three-meter-high floor-to-ceiling mirror, His Majesty the Emperor stretched out his right hand, and the rune ring on his index finger burst into translucent electric arcs, which were pure magical light condensed to the extreme. When the light touched the seemingly fragile mirror, not only did it not shatter it, but instead caused a rapidly rotating faint blue vortex to appear on its mirror surface. After a few seconds, the vortex expanded, and then formed a door that was large enough for one person to enter. door.

"Come on, the teacher should be waiting for us in Fairy Township by now."

Israel didn't talk nonsense, but walked directly into the door leading to another time and space, and Joshua followed naturally. One of them often travels between Mycroft Continent and Fairy Town One is that you have seen many battles, why haven't you been to another world? So the action is very fast, without the slightest hesitation.

Just as Israel opened the door leading to the Fairyland in the ancient palace, Joshua also entered.

In the dark hall on the top floor of the palace, four elemental goblins gathered together.

This is a dark place without the slightest light. There is no fire in the rock palace built thousands of years ago. The only thing that can provide light, except for the free magic elements in the air, are those four dancing happily. the leprechaun.

Four bright light spots - golden red fire, light blue water, light blue wind and dark brown ground, they fly from the steps at the bottom of the palace at different angles, different trajectories and different speeds , wherever they passed along the way, the falling magic light fragments lit up the dark stairs, corridors and halls, and powerful energy radiation radiated from the bodies of these goblins close to the ultimate level all the time, and then activated Those magic runes lurking on the walls.

After a while, magic dust filled every corner. The goblins who returned to the hall on the second floor activated almost all the magic runes around them. Reliefs and murals, which seem to tell the story of how a seriously injured young man is rescued by four tiny human figures dancing happily.

"Hey, every time I see these murals, I feel like I saved a big trouble."

The fiery red goblin, Guangyan said this, although her tone sounded like she was complaining, but judging from her expression, she could tell that she was very proud: "I never thought that saving a human child could become an emperor. I am so amazing!" — By the way, how many generations of Israel are his descendants?"

"I don't know." "I don't know." "Toot... I don't understand." The other three fairies replied indifferently, and the water elemental fairy among them sighed: "Speaking of which, we are going to stay here until When did we not be able to leave Fairy Township and the seal of Yongge Lake for a long time because the concentration of elemental magic power in the outside world was too low, but now that the magic tide has come and the concentration of magic power has increased significantly, we should be able to go out too. "

As she said that, she whirled and danced in mid-air in pain: "It's so boring, I want Israel to accompany me to see the outside world!"

On the other side, the Wind Fairy in the corner ignored the Fire Fairy who was adoring herself and the Water Fairy who was almost bored on the other side. She talked softly to herself, asked and answered questions, and discussed some issues with herself.

"The little old man that Israel brought before and the young man just now seem to have entered the realm of legend."

This little fairy was writing and drawing in the void, and the runes condensed and dissipated out of thin air. The fairy named Changfeng frowned and thought: "In this case, don't I have to design two more legendary cards... ...so troublesome, but also fun!"

In front of this goblin, countless fine runes mixed with the magic power of the wind element, condensed into magic cards the size of a human fingernail. There are hundreds of these magic cards, among which glow White, blue, purple, and golden-orange lights, among which white cards accounted for the most, occupying one-third of the cards, and golden-orange cards were the least, with no more than 20 cards suspended in the air. The wind fairy was thinking, On the other hand, two blank golden-orange cards were condensed in mid-air: "After the concentration of magic power in the outside world stabilizes, I will go out to collect the information of these two people and make their cards!"

It can be vaguely seen that there are text descriptions written in beautiful elf fonts on these magic cards, as well as exquisite portraits.

[Holy Light Pope Eagle (Legend of the Cleric)]

[10 fee, 7 attack, 7 life, cannot be attacked]

[Advent: Destroy all non-clergy servants and amulets on the field, and they cannot be designated by spells until the next own turn]

Sitting on a lava throne, a burly dwarf wrapped in thick armor.

In addition, there are many legendary cards in the card library, such as [King of the Siren - Arrow], [Abyssal Murloc - Godard], [Nature Mentor - Galannord], etc. , and now, on the two cards floating in front of this little goblin, there are an old man with faint blue space-time ripples blooming behind him, and a...

"Huh?" Blinking, the wind goblin suddenly said to herself in distress: "I didn't see his face just now? Strange, why did I subconsciously not look at his face..."

——It’s all useless.

But at this time, the earth elemental fairy who had been on the sidelines and only made a "beep" sound before looked at the three friends who had been together for an unknown amount of time, but thought helplessly in her heart.

——It’s really hopeless, one is narcissistic, one lacks love, and one is addicted to designing card games, all of them are useless.

Goblins are not ordinary beings, but natural elemental bodies born at the point of magic power condensing. They originally had no form and desires similar to ordinary intelligent life, but probably because they have been in contact with humans for a long time, the original pure and flawless goblins began to It gradually became weird, plus they, as clones of the main body, have been stationed in this small palace for almost a thousand years. After a long time of boring waiting, the result is like now, except for her. All the goblins outside have started to have weird hobbies, which is really sad.

"Duddulu (I'm going to rest)." Shaking her head, the earth goblin, who thought she was normal, floated and flew to another corner on the top floor of the palace.

Outside the world of Mycroft, in a demiplane attached to the surface of the world, along with the emergence of a dark blue light curtain, two figures appeared from the light curtain.

After Joshua passed through the passage of time and space, he glanced at this strange world known for its mystery, this Fairy Township that he had never been to even in his previous life. The abyss invaded and fell.

But what the soldiers saw was a bit unexpected.

Different from the cheerfulness shown by the previous four goblins, the homeland of the goblins is as vast and dark as the starry sky in the universe.

The black ground is floating. It is not solid soil, but layers of floating dust particles. Underneath, there is a faint golden-red fire, bringing bursts of scorching heat, and the dim sky The sky is full of haze, filling the sky and the earth with water vapor, the wind that represents the movement of particles moves slowly in this weird world, and the light that represents the transition of energy is also twinkling in it like stars.

The ground that never condenses, the wind that never stops, the fire everywhere and the water that fills the world, four huge wills are sleeping in the four corners of this small world, and there are many scattered little wills around Around the four huge wills, they noticed the space-time gate opened in the distance, but they didn't seem to intend to come over to say hello.

Israel didn't hide any news. Joshua realized that this world is indeed a demiplane built by four powerful beings. The four elements of earth, water, fire and wind constitute its cornerstone, and among them are light and darkness. Conceived, but there is no corresponding strong person to support it, the warrior has a premonition, if a legendary fairy queen representing light and darkness is born, this seemingly fragile and unstable demiplane will gradually improve, and even become A real small world, and the six fairy queens can become the newborn gods of that small world.

A strange and indeed feasible advanced method. he sighed. Every legend should not be underestimated.

"Originally, the environment here is actually very beautiful. The four elements are distinct, and it has a simple and free and easy aesthetic feeling, but the impact of the big demon tide shattered the land of the earth element in the Fairy Township. They all suffered injuries of different sizes, and other elves are taking care of them—the elf queen is the world itself, and their injuries are manifested in the outside world, which is this strange and chaotic appearance."

Although Israel couldn't see the expression on the surface, anyone could sense his worry: "I have persuaded them to take the initiative to hide in the Mycroft world earlier, so as not to suffer from the follow-up wave of demons. But they flatly refused... This actually doesn't affect the advancement, but they just don't like it."

And when His Majesty the Emperor complained about the goblins' stubbornness and capriciousness, a layer of space-time fluctuations rippled around the two of them, and in the next moment, an old man with white beard and hair walked out of it.

"You guys are here." Master Nostradamus was in a very good state of mind at this time. He raised his hand, rejected Joshua's congratulations, and then said with a smile: "Okay, I am an old man who is just advancing to legend, and You monster is far worse than that - you can celebrate when you have time in the future, we can even have a drink together in Winterhold, and we won’t get drunk, but now it’s time to get down to business."

What the old mage said is true, if it is a stranger, then it must be a nonsense, but now the three people present are very familiar with each other, and they are all vigorous and resolute, so they can save most of the politeness , So the next moment, accompanied by the legendary old mage warping time and space, the three of them arrived at the edge of Fairy Township in an instant.

"This is quite different from your previous methods, teacher."

Israel felt very novel, and he thoughtfully recalled the previous feeling: "It's similar to the feeling of passing through the time-space gate, but the activation is faster, there is no obvious fluctuation caused by the opening of time-space rifts, and there is no Shockwaves from high-speed movement."

"It's something that I can barely comprehend after becoming a legend... It's just instinct now, but next time I have a chance, I will describe its principle into a specific spell formula, and let the people in the association study it together." Nostradamus He replied straightforwardly that this is also the origin of many advanced spells. When a powerful mage advances, he will obtain some instinctive magic-like abilities due to the sublimation of his own life essence. This ability is usually very suitable for them. By systematically analyzing the principle of this magic-like ability, one can get a kind of Brand new powerful spells.

While exploring the truth, mages will gradually become a part of the truth.

This kind of chatting didn't last too long. Standing on the edge of Fairy Township, the three of them raised their heads and looked at the chaotic void together.

Fairy Township is just the rudiment of a small world, and it is still an imperfect demiplane. There is no world light film at its edge, nor any barriers, but it directly leads to the endless void deep in the multiverse , The power of the four great fairy queens constitutes a four-element barrier, which goes back and forth to block threats from the outside world.

Originally, the fairies could watch the endless stars in the multiverse at the edge of Fairy Township—that is, the endless world, and then imagine what interesting existences there are. This is also a good way for them with long life spans to pass the time, but Now, there is an incomparably huge distorted dark space that covers almost 80% of the vision at the edge of Fairy Township, blocking all the stars, and even the brilliance emitted by the great demon tide cannot break through.

Gazing at the darkness, Joshua knew that under this crumbling shell of distorted space was the famous high-level map in the previous life, [Sacrifice of Ten Thousand Worlds], which was the supreme spectacle forged by all the civilizations of the Glorious Era. , the condensation of all wisdom, compared with this space-time hub that can connect all worlds, the original spectacular Void Star Observatory, Sentinel Array and other wonders of the Starfall Era are as ridiculous as children playing around.

In his previous life, he did not participate in the first wave of exploration of the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Field. To be precise, this exploration had nothing to do with them. The warrior remembered that it was after all the major forces in the Mycroft Continent had completed the exploration that the map was opened to the public. worldwide.

[Original from fire, born of steel, soul as firewood, body as fuel, wisdom is immortal, order lasts forever, passed on and on, until now], this motto comes from the stone tablet in the center. In addition, There are also many ancient records that have not been fully translated even in previous lives, which describe the most primitive beliefs in this world and the path that civilization has traveled along the way.

Although it is unlikely to find the whereabouts of the sages and the records lost for three hundred years, there is no doubt that through those steles, the civilization of this era will definitely be able to obtain important information from the previous era, and even precious historical inheritance.

Sometimes, history itself can represent a powerful force. Only by knowing one's own past and one's own origin can civilization move forward in a down-to-earth manner, instead of groping in the dark.

"This space-time distortion point will soon be discovered by other forces."

Also staring at this large dark distorted space, Nostradamus said calmly: "It may be a super-large transmission channel leading to another world, or it may be a fallen road leading to the abyss, but no matter How should I put it, with the strength of the empire, it is absolutely impossible to monopolize a space-time rift of this scale. We need to unite all interested forces on the entire continent to explore it. Of course, the time will not be too long, half a year at most, the second The discussion can be concluded before the tide of wave magic comes."

"A distorted time and space of this scale can be hidden so cleverly. How many years has it been orbiting our world?" Israel also nodded and said, "It may hide secrets from the previous era—but In any case, its existence itself means great value!"

A secret rotation that can be hidden in the void has not been discovered for at least a thousand years. If it weren't for the time-space distortion point that might continue to be hidden by the Great Demon Tide, the technology itself represented by this existence can attract countless people like moths to the flame. As it flies away, it won't take long for a powerful exploration team to gather.

However, Joshua vaguely understood the reason why these two people wanted to pull him over. He sighed and said, "So, you want to ask me to explore this space-time distortion point at that time?"

The old mage and His Majesty the Emperor laughed together, and the two had a tacit understanding. Nostradamus shook his head and said, "No, Joshua, it's not you alone, but the two of us. Israel is going to rule the empire." , so when the time comes, the two of us will join forces to explore."

"After all, you are the only one who has explored multiple different worlds and returned successfully." Yisrael shrugged, and he said with a smile: "Igor has expressed envy to me more than once, for my country can Come up with a character like you."

"Will you refuse?" His Majesty the Emperor asked again.

of course not. The soldier also shook his head with a smile, as Israel said, how could he refuse? Since he returned from the world of Grandia and advanced to the legend, there is nothing in this world that can arouse his enthusiasm and curiosity for the time being, but the Sacrifice of Ten Thousand Worlds is undoubtedly a worthy challenge. The goal.

Joshua raised his head and looked ahead at the edge of Fairy Township, the distorted time and space that covered countless starlight in front of him.

Unknown challenge. He thought so.

Really nice.
