Soul of Burning Steel

"You're too slow, why both Hotaru and Rin arrived before you?"

Imperial Royal Magic Association, President's Office, Nostradamus' dissatisfied voice echoed in the room.

"It was just comforting a child who was a little scared, but I didn't expect to have some unexpected gains."

After walking out of the gate of time and space, Joshua didn't care about the old mage's question. Not to mention that he was late for less than a minute, and there is still a long time before the set time. He should be regarded as an early departure, and with Nostradamus around, they don't need to care about the space at all. You can go to the vicinity of the void distortion point at any time.

As for the actions of No. 3 before, apart from sighing that he did not expect emotional intelligence to have evolved to this point, the soldier has no other superfluous thoughts. After all, no matter what the situation is, it is too early.

Although the world has escaped from the future of destruction, there are still countless crises. The demons of the abyss, the earth and monsters, the unknown ancient dragon, the evil god returning from the other side of the multiverse, and the darkness lurking among the stars, everything is far from being able to relax, not to mention Joshua still has to follow the sages. He also wanted to stand at the apex of the multiverse and fight against the powerhouses of countless worlds. In order to accomplish these goals, the warrior is far from being able to stop.

"Forget it, but your new pet is really strange."

Already accustomed to Joshua's occasional rambling answers, Nostradamus shrugged his shoulders. He turned his head to look at the ball of light that seemed to want to spray water with great interest, and then let go of it. Regretfully said: "Such a spiritual elemental creature is the best magic pet for a mage. It is a waste to give you this warrior."

A good magic pet can help a mage share the burden of magic power, speed up the formation of large spells, and even work as a mobile energy bank. All in all, it has many functions and can help a mage improve his strength to a higher level. Similar to elemental life, but actually a higher-level existence, in the eyes of Nostradamus, it is indeed a perfect example of a magic pet.

"Don't you?" Joshua asked a little strangely. After all, as a legendary mage, Nostradamus had an entire empire as his backing, let alone a magic pet, as long as he Thinking about it, it would not be difficult to catch a great elemental elder. But after asking, he seemed to recall something, so he shook his head and closed his mouth.

——Of course it’s not that there is no such thing, but that the other party’s former partner died because of the overload of magic power when the orcs invaded the war. Since then, Nostradamus has never received a magic pet.

"Waste is not a bad thing, at least you don't need to go to the battlefield... But what are you doing with it this time? You don't know spells."

Skipping this question, Nostradamus watched the ball of light flying in his office, and finally landed slowly on top of Yingying's head. The legendary mage sat on his chair and said with some doubts: "Explore Although the space-time distortion point may not be very difficult, it is not easy enough to travel with pets."

"Light is not an ordinary ball...creature." Joshua does not intend to tell others about Guang's true identity for the time being. He has not fully confirmed the matter of the Blood Moon Abyss, and he has not yet reached the bottom that can be exposed, so he starts from Explained from the side: "I brought it here to verify a guess, not a temporary idea."

Regarding this explanation, Joshua did not lie. Hotaru and Rin are his weapons. Exploring the space-time distortion point this time is far more important than the last time he went to the abyss to find someone to come, so he must be called, and the body of light is suspected The existence of the primordial fire, the rudimentary form of the will of the world, might have some special use if he takes it to the remote ancient sacrificial ground that connects all worlds, and if it is not possible, he can also resonate through the power of steel, at any time. There is no danger in stuffing the light back where it belongs.

"In that case, feel free to do so."

Seeing that Joshua had his own considerations, Nostradamus stopped talking. He stood up from his seat, and said: "This trip to explore the void distortion point, there are four major forces, five There are two legendary powerhouses leading the formation, namely you and me who represent the empire, Barbarossa who represents the White Tower, the sage Faina who represents the Eastern Plains and the Coastal City-State Alliance, and Godard, the high priest of the murlocs, because the Fairy Village is the closest to the goal. The demiplane, so we have reached an agreement with the fairy queens, and we can start exploring with the fairy town as our base."

In fact, this information was notified to Joshua through other channels not long ago, but the legendary mage repeated it himself: "Through calculation and analysis, as well as the temptation of prophecy spells, it can be determined that this exploration will not be too much. It has been difficult, so everything is in accordance with the tradition of the past hundreds of years, let various forces send elite teams to explore it, and the legend only needs to press the formation."

"Only these people?"

Unlike Nostradamus, Joshua, who knew what the ruins behind the distortion point were, was a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this was normal. The various forces in the southern part of the Mycroft continent, such as the Seven Gods The church, the Elven King's Court, and the Far South Kingdom all have a lot of things to do. Whether it's post-disaster reconstruction, purifying the polluted land, or planting the World Tree, they cannot be distracted. Void distortion points are important, but they are far inferior to these , so these forces at most send some envoys to watch the records, and will not send elites to participate.

Not to mention Xishan, they were originally a kingdom ruled by scattered warlock families and extraordinary people. The strong are basically the kings of a country. The world races have begun to formally establish diplomatic relations with the outside world, and their energies have been fully invested in this aspect, a vast underground territory full of new resources.

"Enough is enough. Five legends are in the line of defense. This is a line of defense that even if a million demons come out, they may not be able to break through. If it is not for this ancient distortion point, it is very important. It is very likely that there is precious technology and heritage from the era of glory. , coupled with its value of being able to exist stably for thousands of years, how could we gather such a powerful exploration team?"

Standing in the center of his office, Nostradamus raised his head and looked towards the sky with a serious expression: "Go there early and prepare early, it's time to go."

Joshua naturally would not refuse, so in the next second, accompanied by the far stronger fluctuations in time and space and the faint blue magic light overflowing the window, everyone in the room passed through the gap in time and space under the power of the legendary mage, and went to Far beyond the void.

At about the same time, in the eastern sea area of ​​the mainland, inside a towering rock tower that seemed to grow directly from the continental shelf, a bald old man dressed plainly and holding a pipe in his hand stood on the high platform of his mage tower's teleportation array, Scanning the twelve silent elite mages in the array with scrutiny eyes, there are no pupils and whites in his eyes, only a burning light. Barbarossa, the master of elements, is not a talkative person. He is used to making decisions before acting, replacing his words with down-to-earth actions, and his apprentices and disciples are naturally influenced by his teacher, and they have similar character traits.

"The action begins." He said briefly.

Then the light of transmission was lit.

And aware of the actions of old acquaintances and old opponents, in the most prosperous port city in the eastern sea area of ​​the Mycroft Continent, where the Sea Dragon Knights are stationed, in a simple hut on a small island around Sea Dragon City, a plainly dressed woman with closed eyes Picking up his ivory-white waist-length hair, he calmly activated the magic circle that can cause waves in time and space, and in the distant sea area opposite to it, in the center of the new gathering place of the murlocs, the same fluctuations tore apart the space. Restraining, sending the huge black murloc and its elite to the pre-determined area.

Outside the world of Mycroft, in the chaotic astral void, there are hundreds of thousands of bright light clusters attached to the light film of the world. They may be large or small, and the large ones seem to be clinging to the earth. The moon, but the small one is only a few meters in radius. This is the external image displayed in the void by the demiplane and independent space attached to the main world, and just outside these thousands of light clusters, there is a mass of darkness The distorted space-time is extremely conspicuous, it revolves slowly around the world, and now it just came to the periphery of a huge light group.

With the God Machine siblings and the ball of light, Joshua and Nostradamus traveled through time and space and came to the Fairy Township. The transmission process between the demiplane and the world is quite long and complicated, and it needs to pass the review of the fairy queens during the period. Fortunately, nothing went wrong in the process, and the group arrived at the edge of the fairy town smoothly. A dark, distorted space-time faces each other head-on.

"There are still a lot of people."

Glancing at the surrounding camps, Joshua felt rather surprised, because at the edge of the Fairy Township, there were four simple camps that were far apart. In each camp, more than 20 logistics personnel were preparing supplies, as if they wanted to To build this place into a temporary base, and there are fifteen seemingly elite professionals in the camp where he and Nostradamus descended. They are wearing the same style of armor and robes, and they should be the same. The members of a team, including mages, priests, warriors, archers, alchemists and thieves, can be said to be a standard team of adventurers.

But before he could continue to look at the surrounding environment, three consecutive time-space fluctuations came from the other three camps. Joshua could feel that at this moment, there were three powerful beings traveling from the other side of time and space. Come. Among them are the aggregates of elements shining with rainbow light, the existence that is rapidly assimilating with the environment of the surrounding Fairy Town, and completely unites itself with the heaven and the earth in a short moment, and there is also a dark sea whose depth seems impossible to fathom. deep.

Barbarossa, the master of elements, Faina, the sage of the sea, Godard, the high priest of the murlocs, and the three legendary powerhouses, led their most elite team, and descended on the edge of time and space in this fairy town at the same time.

Joshua observed the other party with great interest, and the others also observed him. The bald old man narrowed his eyes slightly. What he saw was a majestic volcano spewing golden-red molten steel. The woman with closed eyes frowned. From the beginning, what she sensed was a solid and self-steel, and the changes in the surrounding world seemed to have nothing to do with it, and the tall black murloc was arranging the sacrificial ornaments on her neck, which were made up of skulls and precious stones in series. What I saw was the most condensed and pure vitality, which boiled like a flame, releasing high temperatures that made people want to stay away.

And just after this brief mutual observation, a more brief communication began.

"Then, humans, follow the agreement."

In the distance, an obscure mental wave came from the murloc camp: "Let's split up and send a team to conduct preliminary exploration. After we have some information, we will share it with each other, and then make a summary and speculation."

This is the action plan discussed by the four major forces long before this: the time-space distortion point is a mass of distorted space-time, and its essence, according to the speculation of the legendary powerhouses, should be the same artificial demiplane as Fairy Township, just because some Surprisingly, it was not attached to the world of Mycroft, but moved around the outer membrane of the world in the astral void. And because of this, none of the powerful legendary powerhouses can rashly enter it, because if their powerful power is not restrained and confronted with the power of this half-plane, it is very likely to cause extremely serious consequences, including But not limited to the destruction of the entire demiplane.

Therefore, before Joshua and others make a move, the major forces will let their selected elite professionals enter it first, collect information on various parameters of the demiplane, so that the legends can fine-tune their own power essence, and do not compete with this The conflict caused by the demiplane is the same reason as when soldiers went to the world of Grandia and needed time to adapt to the local power of steel.

The separate actions are to avoid conflicts. After all, the three major forces in the eastern plain have serious conflicts with each other. If one party discovers some important relics or materials found by the other party, then they will undoubtedly attack each other and develop into a frontal battle , In this way, it will not only deepen the contradiction, but also make the exploration futile, so only when encountering a special serious situation, everyone will work together to solve it under the leadership of the legends.

This series of processes seems familiar to Nostradamus. He has participated in and even presided over many similar joint operations in the past few decades. However, for him, the legendary powerhouse I am afraid it is also the first time. Joshua also found it very novel, but this novelty mainly came from the perspective.

"Restricted dungeons, drafted low-level elite exploration teams, and strong players who mainly act as background boards and only make shots at critical moments."

He whispered to himself, and even laughed, causing Hotaru and Rin beside him to look sideways frequently, and Nostradamus also turned his head in doubt. Joshua didn't care about other people's gazes, but looked into the void In the distorted space that is slowly moving: "It's really familiar, but the identity has changed."

In the past, he was a person who participated in the exploration, but now, he is a strong background to suppress one side.

Before he knew it, he had reached this point.
