Soul of Burning Steel

Starfall 836, January 30th, Moldavia, Northland, was sunny and peaceful, and it was a day that one could not help but lie lazily at home.

In the sky, a meteor passed over the northern forest, and then disappeared into the sky. The dim light only attracted some children who accidentally looked up at the sky, and some mages who made a living by observing the sky also noticed this scene. They didn't pay too much attention to the small light that flew away, they just scratched a stroke on the record file casually, and didn't realize the seriousness behind the matter, and this was especially true for other busy people.

Coming from the same direction as the meteor, the cold current at the end of the Blind Sea converged into a strong wind on the vast ice field, and then passed through the city all the way. White snow and dust mixed with some ice particles hit the metal breastplate of the patrolling knight, making a bang bang bang bang sound In the city of Moldavia, the streets are filled with the noisy communication of crowds, the greetings of adventurers, the shouts of commercials from merchants, the angry scolding and physical collisions among drunken reckless men, mixed with the sounds of onlookers. The shout became a wave of air that soared into the sky, revealing the vitality of the people of the Northland.

A little further away from the main city, on the banks of the Mai Zhe Unfrozen River, a blue dragon is leading a group of young white dragons who have just learned how to flap their wings how to glide in mid-air, leading a group of disobedient little guys to fly over the small half of the world. Beidi, this is undoubtedly a difficult job, but with its own coercion and good training in the past, the blue dragon managed not to let any young dragon fall behind, and in order to ensure the enthusiasm of the other party, it showed mercy As long as the gliding training performed well this time, they will be taken to the extreme arctic ice field for actual combat hunting next time. This exciting proposal will undoubtedly make all the young dragons cheer.

Flying past, the high and low tones of the dragon chant made the five members of the team who were trekking in the outskirts of the forest look at each other. The prince, brother and sister, dwarf and knight sister who were also registered students of the lord had to stop and start discussing on the spot Whether this spreading dragon power will affect the target they are going to hunt, and the result of the discussion is naturally affirmative. In this regard, the dwarf angrily gestured a middle finger to the dragons flying past in midair. At the beginning, the insulting gestures that are commonly used all over the world, he was even a little bit uneasy, and compared several rude and obscene gestures in a row, which immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the female teammate who learned flame magic, and the two fought in the snow Standing up, the brother and sister were taking out the map, worrying about how to complete the task, while the prince was secretly learning the gestures of the dwarves, with a tired but sincere smile on his face .

Around Nissier Snow Mountain, the instructors of Wintercastle Academy brought their students to the palm print lake at the foot of the mountain, where a spacious canal spread from the distant Mazhe Unfrozen River. This man-made river with a total length of more than 30 kilometers and an average depth of more than 20 meters is said to have been drawn by the legendary lord in the sky overnight. No one knows whether this is true or not, but it was indeed made overnight. They suddenly appeared suddenly. While lamenting this miracle, they will also welcome a group of new semester students coming by boat. Winter Castle, which has completely become a comprehensive vocational college, has expanded its enrollment scale this year, and it is not limited to Mage, many warrior mentors are looking forward to whether there is a seed that can carry what they have learned in this freshman.

On the top floor of the lord's mansion, Joshua withdrew his gaze from looking around the entire Moldavia. The observation method of the legendary strong man was no longer just the original optical sensing, but had risen to a level that could be called miraculous. As far as a warrior is concerned, he can scan the entire Moldavia through the resonance of the power of steel, and within a few seconds, he can see the northern land radiated by his vitality. Joshua can even see the monsters lurking deep underground, such as It is said that the tamed Iron Mountain Dragon is now assisting the dwarves in digging a long road running through the four major strongholds of the Great Ajax Mountains-dwarf gathering place-Winter Castle-the main city of Moldavia at the bottom of the Winter Castle Academy. The underground passage, and a huge magical creation similar to a train locomotive is placed beside it, waiting for the day when the tunnel is dug and the track is laid.

"Master, we are ready!"

Behind him, Yingying's voice came, and Joshua turned his head to look at the other party. He could see the sisters and brothers of Shenji trotting towards him at a fast pace. Perhaps it was because they could go out with the soldiers after a long absence, so Yingying's expression was very strange. Happy, and for this day, Rin, who has had a good rest for half a week, looks much better. Recently, he has gradually delegated the government affairs in his hands to the special office staff, which can be said to be a lot easier.

"When are you leaving?"

Arriving at Joshua's right side, Yingying naturally took his arm. The cheerful tone made the soldier shake his head: "We are going to do business, not play. The environment in the void is dangerous. You guys better be more careful, otherwise even if I get lost, it will be very difficult for me to find it back."

"Master, that shooting star just now..." On the side, Rin was a little absent-minded. He looked up at the sky and frowned beautifully: "It's so strange, why did it disappear into the sky instead of falling? Could it be just Swipe across the outside of the sky?"

"Have you noticed? The reason is very complicated."

Letting the silver-haired girl hold his arm, Joshua patted the boy's head. He didn't answer Rin's question directly, because the facts were just like what the soldier said, very complicated, and couldn't be explained clearly in a few words, the most basic One thing is, for the small plane world in the round sky of Mycroft World, the stars all over the sky are the projections of other worlds in the multiverse, and the meteors, in addition to representing the matter from the splitting of other worlds, fell to Mike Outside the Rove Continent, it also means the demise of a world.

It is not a shooting star, but a scene where a world releases its last brilliance and falls into the abyss, or even completely destroyed.

And the direction in which the meteor appeared represented the star field that Karlis pointed out at the beginning, the direction where the evil gods returned with the help of the great demon tide. Joshua knows that a star is only the beginning, and it is only an insignificant beginning. In the foreseeable future, the intelligent life in the Mycroft world will see more and more shooting stars, witnessing countless worlds in the tide of magic and the impact of evil gods. They will perish, and they themselves may be one of them.

"Dingling~"

Accompanied by a crisp sound of wind chimes, Joshua sensed a ball of light floating towards him from mid-air, he slightly raised his head, and then stretched out his left hand to catch the opponent, but before Joshua could tell When the ball of light doesn't fly around like this next time, the fluctuations of time and space rippled from his side. After a while, only a palm-sized crack in time and space slowly opened, and Nostradamus' voice came from it: "Ready to go, Joshua."

"Okay." Already accustomed to the old mage's way of communicating, Joshua didn't care about the slowly closing space-time rift. He walked towards the time-space gate that had been activated in the center of the top floor of the Lord's Mansion, while Yingying, Rin, and Hikari all Following behind the warrior, Joshua was about to walk into it first, but suddenly stopped. He was stunned for a while and then said: "Go ahead first and tell Nostradamus to wait for me for a while."

"Okay, master." Although it was a little strange, Yingying nodded and agreed. The silver-haired girl took her brother and the light ball through the gate of time and space, and Joshua just stayed there.

Not long after, with a slight fluctuation of magic power, the magic power projection of No. 3 appeared in front of him.

The image simulated by artificial intelligence is the extinct Winged Man civilization in the Karlis world thousands of years ago. They have a slender figure similar to elves and the same delicate face, and the face of No. 3 is undoubtedly the most delicate among them, which can be called is perfect. But at this time, the petite winged girl fluttered her wings a little uneasy, her face turned pale.

"Is there anything you want from me?" Joshua asked curiously. He knew the character of an artificial intelligence girl, and she would never make meaningless actions. Since the other party stopped him, it was obvious that there was something important. talk over.

"...that meteor..."

Some anxiously rolled the long blue hair with his fingers. Compared with the past, No. 3 was a little out of control. This was faithfully reflected on the magic power projection. The video flashed like snowflakes, and she whispered uncomfortably: "I have seen similar scenes..."

Joshua nodded silently. He took a step forward and stretched out his hand. The silver light flashed in the palm of his hand. He pressed one hand on No. 3's shoulder, which represented the message of peace of mind and stability, which made the originally nervous The artificial intelligence was at a loss for a moment, and then returned to its original peaceful state: "Thank you, Joshua."

"Small things, go ahead." Regarding No. 3's thanks, Joshua shook his head, and then said seriously: "Have you ever seen a similar scene? If possible, can you tell me in detail from the beginning to the end?" explain?"

"...Thousands of years ago, when the world of Karlis was still prosperous, a similar scene happened. The silver stars streaked across the sky, but did not fall to the ground, as if they were just passing through the world."

In just a moment, No. 3, who recalled the corresponding memory from the database, said softly in a clear voice: "I hadn't been created at that time, but the database showed that it was the last time the Karlisians When sending void battleships to other worlds. After I was created, I also saw this kind of unfalling meteor several times through the observation device on the mobile fortress. At that time, the army of the evil god's family had already invaded the entire world. The scene at that time..."

That was the scene at that time.

The blue sky was covered by bright and pale light. In the sky that was completely colorless, hundreds of dim stars, countless stars that filled the field of vision fell at the same time, turning into an endless rain of meteors Across the sky, the spectacular to tragic spectacle attracted everyone's attention.

In that infinite distance, the original fire was extinguished, so the stars were no longer bright, and the extinguished glow flickered in the dark multiverse. It crossed the endless void and fell from the sky as a fleeting meteor from other worlds.

The glory dimmed, and the era of Starfall was born.

Through the resonance of the power of steel, Joshua knew what No. 3 was afraid of. Thousands of years ago, she witnessed the destruction of the civilization of Karliss in the starfall, but now, the stars are flashing in the sky again, and she has a premonition of the frightening future, the destruction that is about to reappear, so she is terrified.

"Don't worry, No. 3, the world of Mycroft is not the same as the world of Carliss." Joshua comforted the artificial intelligence, and he said with a nonchalant smile, "You can't start to fear before disaster strikes." , You must learn to overcome the illusion of the past, so that you can get the real future."

"There was no me a thousand years ago, but now, I am here."

He patted No. 3 on the head, indicating that the other party needn't worry too much. Joshua walked towards the gate of time and space as he spoke. Among the ancient ruins that triggered the final battle of the last era, Joshua believed that he would be able to find more lost information about the Glorious Era. Maybe he could also know the whereabouts and true purpose of the sages. How did the final battle of the war start? That was the first battlefield.

But what he didn't expect was that, accompanied by a violent fluctuation of magic power, the corner of his clothes was actually grabbed—this was not the power brought by the power of steel, but the magic power condensed to materialize, so that the projection also appeared. Joshua turned his head a little surprised by the ability to actively touch the material, wanting to know why No. 3 would do this suddenly.

But what greeted him was a kiss.

He could only feel a pair of slender white arms encircling his neck. Joshua felt a slight touch on his forehead. The projection disappeared in an instant.

"..."

Blinking his eyes, after a few seconds, Joshua's throat rolled when he realized what had happened. He wanted to say something—the detection circle of No. 3 was spread all over the main city, and she could definitely hear it, but After thinking about it, the soldier still didn't say anything, he just raised the corners of his mouth slightly, then shook his head, said 'too early' to himself, then turned his head and walked through the portal to the long-awaited Yingying and Rin's side.

At this time, the ball of light was being observed by Nostradamus in his hand, and the ball of light did not show any weakness, and sprayed a stream of water on his face, using magic to wipe off the water on his face, The old mage noticed Joshua's appearance, and said dissatisfiedly: "You are too slow."

It is not so much love as it is peace of mind.

Those who are worried about the change of style can rest assured that there is still no heroine in this book.
