Soul of Burning Steel

"Calm down, Brandon, what's wrong with Little Remy and Fran?"

With just one glance, Joshua immediately discerned the main point of the matter. Unlike the double-edged order that the blond swordsman said, the reason why this man panicked like he is now is entirely because his two daughters are in a coma. Awake. For this swordsman who once fought against orcs and cultists and was famous for his bravery and fearlessness, even if the double blades inherited from the sages suddenly disappeared one day, at most it would shock him for a while, and then he would calm down Come down and think about countermeasures, but since it is about his daughter, he will subconsciously become anxious.

"I don't know... It seems that I just fell asleep, but I can't wake up no matter how I scream."

On the side, Verdani didn't lose her composure like Brandon, but she still had worry on her face: "Although there is no harm at the moment, just falling asleep like this is not an option. Brandon found out that this is because It was caused by Remi and Fran playing with his dual swords out of curiosity, after thinking about it, I had to ask you if there is any similar situation."

On the side, Brandon nodded, and he pulled out the two blades of order from his waist. The unpretentious blade of the ancient relic now exudes a pure light of silver and white, and the two kinds of light have a faint trace The 'light' of the two is connected to the lovely girl in their arms, and that seems to be the reason for their unconsciousness.

Joshua nodded: "I understand the general situation."

Afterwards, he looked at Brandon and asked suspiciously: "But why can these two children touch your weapon? You should keep the Double Blades of Order by your side all the time, you said last time However, even if you sleep, you still hold it."

Although outsiders couldn't tell, Joshua and Brandon Verdani's family had a very close personal relationship, and the two often organized private receptions to pass the boring leisure time.

"It's natural to sleep alone, but..." Brandon blinked, and Verdani kicked him blushingly, and the blond swordsman immediately changed his words: "Joshua, your sage relic is more awakened than mine. Much earlier, you should already know how to manipulate these creations of the last era, can you see what's going on?"

"Actually, I've almost figured it out."

Regarding Brandon's question, Joshua nodded slightly. He was not lying, but the truth. Although unlike Brandon, the Azure Orb in his heart was already there during Grandia's last trip to the world. It turned into a part of the rekindling fire, but the core authority of the 'Crown of Burning Soul' still remained in his body. Through the power bestowed by the sage, he could see at a glance the lethargy that made Brandon and his wife helpless Truth: Obviously, the two children, Remy and Fran, should now be caught in the memory of the sage just like him at the beginning, and they are not Brandon, the inheritors of this generation, so they did not trigger the follow-up reaction ability, unable to wake up.

"They should be playing in a dream now."

Glancing at the expressions of the two sleepy girls, they didn't feel uncomfortable, but occasionally smiled. It really didn't look like they were suffering in a dream. After thinking for a while, Joshua gave a few suggestions: " There are several solutions. First, I cut off their connection with the two blades of order, which can basically guarantee that they can wake up immediately, but at the price they may feel a little uncomfortable after waking up, which is about the same as being woken up from a nightmare. Two. , you try to communicate with the Double Blades of Order. After all, this is your sage relic. Your daughter was accidentally drawn into it because of your blood. Once your rightful master arrives, it will definitely ignore your daughter, but will You are pulled into a dream."

"Don't worry, this is just a necessary step in inheritance, there is no harm."

After listening to Joshua's suggestion, Brandon picked up the Double Blades of Order again without hesitation. He frowned, clutching the hilt of his sword tightly, as if trying to communicate with his weapon. For a person like him who values ​​his family, even letting his daughter have nightmares is absolutely unacceptable, and even the language of rejection seems superfluous. Verdani looked at her husband, and she probably believed in Brandon. This matter can be resolved smoothly, so I don't see much worry.

Caring is messy. Joshua looked at this scene, and it was obvious that he had nothing to do with it. In fact, if Brandon could analyze it calmly, then with his ability, he would definitely be able to detect the connection between the Twin Blades of Order and his two daughters How fragile it is, whether it is forcibly cut off or replaced by himself, it is extremely simple, but it is precisely because he is Brandon that this 'simple' thing cannot be done.

Then again, since the mission of the Azure Orb disappeared without a trace after rekindling the fire, leaving only the authority of the Burning Soul King, what missions do the other sage relics have?

In the world of Grandia, the robe of the half-blood dragon girl Silya has turned into a huge magic circle matching the fire, and she returned to the world of Mycroft with the fire. It should have completely dissipated now, but the double blades of order and pure white But there is no magic staff, which must mean that the two still have unfinished tasks-from the previous life, Brandon, who awakened in the abyss invasion, did not trigger the task of the double blades of order at the end, and the pure white staff seems to be He disappeared from the Church of the Seven Gods, and it cannot be ruled out that Lolanda in his previous life took him away, or he had already completed his mission.

—Maybe you can ask Brandon after he's finished.

Thinking of this, Joshua signaled Verdani to let her enter the lord's mansion together with the blond swordsman. If Brandon communicates successfully later, he will fall into a hallucination for a while. It would be too indecent to lie outside like this .

After setting up Brandon and the others, Joshua walked alone on the second floor of the lord's mansion. He has been really leisurely these days and has hardly done anything. The lord needs to manage it himself. At the grassroots level, there are village chiefs and mayors in various villages and towns to carry out daily management work, and the monsters naturally have tax collectors and knights. Moldavian Knights can also destroy it, unless it is a monster of the extreme level, otherwise Joshua basically has no chance to make a move.

And extreme-level monsters are extremely rare even in the Great Demon Tide period. They are the leader of a clan second only to legendary monsters. Even in the Dragon Clan, they can be called elders. The former Great Ajax Mountain Range There may be one or two extreme monsters in the deepest part of the world, but now, they should have migrated long ago. After all, the wisdom of monsters at that level has long been similar to that of humans, or even smarter. Of course, they will not be stupid enough to be neighbors with legendary powerhouses .

Just when he had just reached the stairs on the first floor of the second floor, suddenly, a wave of peaceful force of order came from the direction of the guest room. Joshua nodded slightly. Brandon communicated faster than he thought. It seems that under the urging of having a daughter, he should be able to wake up more than ten years earlier. Thinking about it, the sage is not a demon. This kind of will to protect someone is definitely more suitable for triggering the awakening of the relic than any negative emotions. In his previous life, he should have wanted to protect the world under the invasion of the abyss, so he and The double blades of order resonate.

But just when Joshua was about to go to the first floor, unexpectedly, after that wave of peaceful power of order, suddenly there was an unusually sinister and vicious aura from the guest room, which gave people an evil feeling It was filthy and filthy, as if it was condensed from the sins of the entire world. The moment Joshua noticed the vicious aura, he immediately turned his head and arrived at the guest room where Brandon and the others were staying at a teleportation speed. directly through the door wall.

Grabbing the back collar of Verdani, who was about to cast a spell against him with one hand, and the two sleeping girls of Zhengxiang with the other hand, Joshua led the three of them to the street outside the city wall of the Lord's Mansion in one breath. Up, and in the next moment, he went back and forth several times, throwing the bewildered black dragon girl, the light ball, the inexplicable Yingying and Rin, and all the maids and servants out of the lord's mansion. It only took a soldier to complete all this. Three seconds later, he returned to the guest room on the second floor of the lord's mansion, and kicked through Brandon, who held the double blades of order and exuded two completely different auras of good and evil all over his body. The roof is directly above the altitude of hundreds of meters.

"what on earth is it?"

Until this time, Joshua had no extra time to think about what happened to the blond swordsman. Now Brandon didn't respond to his protective kick, but he didn't fall, as if He was suspended in the air as if he had lost gravity, and an extremely powerful force protected his body, isolating all external forces. Joshua could sense something that seemed to be suppressed in the Twin Blades of Order. This thing was gradually unsealed because Brandon fell into the illusion of a sage and the fluctuation of the power of order, so it released that corrupt and vicious aura.

"It's not very strong." Joshua thought for a moment: "But it can't be released just like that."

Therefore, he made a decisive decision to kill three birds with one stone.

Accompanied by a dull roar, the snow cloud over the Lord's Mansion was dispersed by the shock wave spreading in a ring, and right at the very center of the ring, Brandon's body was blasted almost twenty kilometers away by Joshua's punch. , disappeared at the end of the horizon, but grasped the strength, and made sure that the punch would not hurt the opponent, but it was enough to temporarily defeat the rotten aura, and because the source was blown away, it would not affect Joe in the lord's mansion. Xiuya also accelerated, and flew towards the direction where Brandon's body was.

On the ground, in the arms of Verdani who was stunned, the two little girls who just opened their eyes in a daze because of instinct, subconsciously raised their heads to look at the sky, they all blinked, and then said in a soft voice: " Huh?"

"Dad... flew?"
