Soul of Burning Steel

Hill and Fina experience Joshua's aggressive style of action for the first time.

"Hey... you just came back from another world for a few hours, right? You have gone through such a long and arduous battle."

A group of people passed through the teleportation array again, and came to the marble teleportation hall at the foot of Nissie Snow Mountain, which was built less than a month ago. Hill asked the Shenji brothers and sisters beside him with an incredulous expression: "I just returned from the Fairy Town. Moldavia is less than 30 seconds away, and you are going to meet two legendary powerhouses now... so there is no time to rest?"

"Well, haven't we been resting all the time?"

But what greeted him was the resentful voices of Wu Wu and his brother: "It's better to say, when will the master give us something to do?"

Hill: "???"

For the people following Joshua, few people can keep up with such a fast-paced lifestyle of warriors. If they are ordinary people, even if they are as decisive as Israel and as extraordinary as Eagle, if they want to face Seeing the two legendary mages Barnier and William, they must also prepare tens of minutes to two hours, prepare appropriate clothing and decorations, and notify each other to show respect. But Joshua was otherwise, he would set off immediately without any notice, catching everyone by surprise.

Naturally, it also includes two legendary mages.

At the foot of Nissier Snow Mountain, the flag of Winterhold College located halfway up the mountain was whistling in the north wind, and amidst the heavy snow clouds, a blue dragon could be seen flying among the clouds with a dozen white young dragons , the majestic body is looming in the wind and snow, and on the ground, a group of knights in heavy armor are running desperately in the ice and snow following the flight trajectory of their future mounts.

"I've grown up a lot, and it looks like I have good potential in the future."

Joshua also took a look, and then praised the Knights: "Very hardworking, as expected of the elite handpicked by me."

[If you want to ride on the back of a dragon, you must keep up with the footsteps of the dragon], this ancient motto of a dragon knight may have been understood by a warrior too directly and rudely, but since you can keep up with a dragon with two legs The speed, then the strength must be able to keep up.

Hill and Fina felt the coercion of the dragon right away, but before they had time to comment on this newly emerging dragon knight order in the Northland, their eyes were attracted by the loud noise from the other side up.

"Boom—boom—boom—"

The dull blasting sound, like an explosion, was sounding below the ground, and the caring Rin immediately followed up with the explanation: "That is a project called the 'Metro Track' project in cooperation between the Lord's Mansion of Moldavia and the Northland Dwarves." , The sound of the explosion should be the sound of the expanded tunnel... Miss No. 3 is in charge of this project, but unfortunately she is in charge of monitoring the security of the main city, so I can't come here to explain it to you personally."

"Oh... the subway?"

Compared with Fina, who didn't plan to understand deeply and was satisfied with knowing a name, Hill thought more. He immediately understood the true meaning of the so-called subway from the two key words tunnel and underground. It should be some kind of transportation channel for high-speed underground transmission, but Joshua didn't give him time to think about it. At this time, the warrior had already embarked on the road leading to the halfway up the mountain.

Because the strength of the Moldavian lord gradually climbed until it was legendary, more and more external investment began to pour into this northern earldom, and the Academy of Wintercastle, as the two legendary powerhouses Joshua and Nostradamus The academy jointly controlled is naturally the top priority for those investors to pour funds into. In just a few months, the originally unsophisticated Academy of Winterhold has completed the third internal expansion and exterior renovation of the mountain. Students from the Northland, the Central Region of the Northern Empire, and the Western Mountains have provided hundreds of students. new students, and this number will multiply several times in the next few years.

Because of the two legendary powerhouses, this new college has surpassed dozens of old colleges with a long history in the eastern plains in a short period of time, no matter in terms of the number of teachers or the number of students, but no one thinks this is unfair. On the contrary, it is reasonable.

After all, Joshua has accepted several named disciples in this academy! God knows if Nostradamus will also accept a few batches, just for this, it is worth paying any price.

Unlike Hill and others who were attracted by the exquisite sculptures, neat stairs and beautiful scenery along the way, Joshua himself did not care about these complicated capital issues. On the Nissier Snow Mountain Road, his attitude was only the word "good". Soon, the warrior climbed halfway up the mountain and came to the gate of the college, ready to sense the power fluctuations and look for Barnier and William.

The entire Nissie Snow Mountain and the forests and lakes under the mountain belong to Winter Castle College. The space located on the mountainside and inside the Nissie Snow Mountain is a combination of teaching buildings, libraries, dormitories and laboratories. The gate is located on the edge of the forest at the foot of the snow-capped mountain, and the gate on the mountainside should actually be the gate of the teaching building.

But just in front of the gate of this teaching building, Joshua unexpectedly heard a lot of noises.

"Oh my god...it's so beautiful!"

"What is this, is this also magic?"

"Can magic do this?"

The noisy voice can be heard clearly even through the gate, not only Joshua, Hotaru and Rin also blinked strangely, not to mention coming with them, originally they planned to meet the legendary mage duo Hill and Fina are gone.

Doubtful speculation was just a waste of time, Joshua shook his head, opened the door directly, and walked in.

The door opened, and unlike the outside world, a slightly humid warm wind came oncoming, but what everyone saw was not the 30-meter-high welcome hall of Winterhold College, but a group of hundreds of students. There was a sea of ​​people, and even many teachers were mixed in. All of them surrounded the center, curious onlookers, and some students who could not see the inner situation because of their height, even flexibly used the magic they had learned, using The detection circle observes the internal situation.

Joshua, who was at a loss and didn't know what happened, naturally didn't need to use detection magic. His sight could easily penetrate human clothing, skin, flesh, and bones, and simply cross the physical city wall composed of a sea of ​​people. , directly see the internal situation. Then, he discovered a shocking fact: Surrounded by hundreds of students were the two legendary mages he was looking for, Barnir and William!

What are these two people doing? Aren't those students afraid of these two legendary mages? Although they are indeed strong in the name of being close to the people, but...

Before the thoughts in Joshua's mind were finished, he raised his head slightly, and immediately found an acquaintance wrapped in the crowd - not an acquaintance, but an acquaintance, with a soft and delicate face, He had the same dark blonde long hair as his father, with a helpless expression and purple pupils. Adrian, the sixth prince of the empire, was a rare guest chatting with his younger brother, Alva, the seventh prince. Joshua could still see an invisible goblin sitting on Adrian's shoulder, watching with great interest. Looking at the two legendary powerhouses in the center of the crowd.

"Is it the incarnation of the Wind Fairy Queen, 'Long Wind'?"

Joshua was quite puzzled. He came to Winterhold Academy this time only because of Barnier and the two of them. He didn't expect to encounter so many accidents. And at this moment, the students at the edge of the crowd noticed the cold wind blowing, and the door was wide open. Naturally, they all saw Joshua who was there.

"Master Dean!"

"Master Earl!"

"My lord!"

Students from different countries, different regions, and different races uttered different exclamations. These young students and some teachers felt creepy for a moment. A kind of trembling from the center of the bone marrow and the depths of the soul spread throughout the body. Soon, Almost everyone present found the silent Joshua under the contagious fear. In an instant, the wall of people in front of Joshua was like the Red Sea divided by Moses, giving way. The avenue leading to the center of the crowd.

"..."

Quite self-conscious.

Before they could speak, the crowd did everything automatically, and Joshua didn't bother to say anything. He just nodded slightly to signal the crowd to continue their previous activities, and then walked forward on his own.

Then he saw two legendary powerhouses sitting on both sides of a small table, Barnir and William, the duo who were chasing the trace of the ancient dragon were frowning at this moment, holding a handful of cards in their hands, caught in a In contemplation.

"Huh?"

Even Joshua couldn't help but let out a little gasp. He quickened his pace and came to the side of the two men who were thinking. He looked at the rectangular cards and the table in their hands.

The material of the card is excellent, and the unique "immortal wood" in the far south jungle is used as the raw material, which makes the card itself have the function of self-recovery, and the faint magic glow and rune traces on the back of the card represent that it is not only It's just a simple card, which can be proved on the special table with a strange shape.

"I use 'Mind Stealing' to copy two cards from your deck and add them to my hand!"

While Joshua was observing, the legendary bard, [Mind Master] William activated the first card since the arrival of the warrior, and accompanied by this young and handsome legendary mage, he removed a card from his hand. The cards were put down, and accompanied by the glow of magic power, on the card table made entirely of steel and glow crystals, a 3D image of a person hugging his head in pain suddenly appeared on the side belonging to William, and the two cards were automatically removed from the table. The normal-looking Barnier flew out in the direction and merged into William's hand.

William glanced at the two extra cards, and clicked his tongue. At this time, two of his ten light blue crystals on the side of the table were lit, but he still ended the round: "Finish!"

On the other side, [Rune Master] Barnier's card doesn't have so many effects. Facing the cold face of his best friend William, this slightly older legendary mage just showed a bright smile: "Come to me Already? Then I will play [Lava Reaver], and then two [Fire Elements]... all the others will be slapped in the face!"

[Lava Reaver, 3 fee 21, sprint, each element card used, +1 attack] [Fire element, 1 fee 12]

And as the three cards were placed on the table, small phantoms of three monsters suddenly appeared on the card table. Before that, there were already four monsters standing on the field. Following Barnier's order, they all cheered The attack was launched towards the area located in William's area, and a series of '-2''-1''-4' magic symbols emerged, located in the center of both sides of the card table, representing a heart-shaped number of William suddenly descending It's 16, and the number in Barney's direction is still a big '30'.

Isn't this a fairy card?

Looking at this familiar card battle, Joshua suddenly recalled the memories that seemed to be buried deep in his memory.

Fairy Cards, also known as Poetry of Light and Shadow, is a mini-game built in Continent of Disputes in the previous life. It was developed by fairies and published by dwarves. It is a phenomenon-level card game that is popular in the continent. favorite. Joshua also played for a while, but he didn't get to know it in depth. After all, he was in charge of opening up new bosses and didn't have extra time to delve into card games.

But this does not prevent him from learning about fairy cards. In Joshua's eyes, what Barnir and William are using should be the "Fairy Card Initial Table" that was placed in the Northern Empire Museum back then. A platform was developed, which is specially used for entertainment magic machines of fairy cards. This kind of table is expensive, but the subsequent dwarves transformed it very cheaply, and even every tavern can buy a few of them, which are used to supply the players of the goblin cards. According to Joshua's memory, this thing should be The initial design was completed in Starfall 837, and then spread to the whole continent in 839. Until Starfall 853, before the start of the world-class war, fairy cards were the most widely spread entertainment in the Mycroft continent.

It is only 836 years now, have all the finished products been produced? My own arrival seems to have affected all aspects.

While Joshua was still remembering, the battle on the card table reached a climax.

"I want to use [Mind Control] to control the control of one of your followers!"

At this time, the scene was completely gone, and the HP was only 5. William, who was like a dying candle in the wind, used a powerful spell card. After he put the card down, he did not designate the target follower he wanted to control. Instead, he stared into Barnier's eyes. The legendary bard's eyes shone with a faint purple light. The powerful spiritual power spread around William, and it seemed to penetrate into Barnier's brain in an instant— —Being attacked, Barney was shocked all over, and then his right hand trembled towards the lower right corner of the card table, which represented the [Exit] button.

"No! William, you bastard is too despicable! It's the card's mental control, not your own mental control over me!"

But Barnier is also a legendary mage after all, he didn't realize that it was a thing to be plotted by his friends for a while, he immediately reacted, and then angrily slapped the table and shouted: "You are operating illegally!"

"You violated the rules too! I've long felt that you, a damn bastard, used your rune skills to tamper with the cards and print cards yourself! I said, why do you never get stuck in your hand? How can you print cards in real time by yourself? of!"

"Nonsense! And isn't it normal for a rune master to control cards with runes? This is a legal operation for me!"

"Then it is legal for me to control you with my mind!"

"Didn't you fail to control your success!"

"Okay, what's going on here."

Seeing the two legendary mages quarreling in front of a group of people without dignity, Joshua had no choice but to step forward and stop the conflict between the two—he also discovered just now that in the previous battle, Barnir used With his incomparably superb rune skills, he directly tampered with the face of the fairy card he drew at the nanometer level. In terms of technical content, this operation is no less than the molecular breakdown level attack of the Void Mother Beast. It is a pity This strength was not used in spells, but in... cheating.

"All the students are dismissed—it should be teaching time now, what are you doing outside the classroom? If I'm still watching you outside within three minutes, the total score for the school year will be deducted fifty!"

To be honest, Joshua really wanted to laugh, but at this time, if he really laughed, the scene would not be serious—so he gave orders neatly, making all the students and teachers who watched the scene with great interest Go back to their positions, and at the same time, he also ordered: "Adrian, Alva, and Miss Changfeng, don't leave, stay and explain things clearly."

I'm sorry... I slept for 18 hours yesterday and woke up every hour. I was dreaming all the time, and now I still have a splitting headache. This should be neurasthenia and insomnia caused by long-term irregular sleep... I took a little rest yesterday to recover, and now Should be able to update normally...
