Soul of Burning Steel

"Tap, tap."

Walking slowly, Joshua came to the side of the throne, he didn't say much, just looked down at the ground together with Israel.

Here is an altitude of 12,000 meters from the surface of the earth. The watchtower has been fully deployed. The floating wings designed by the old mage are absorbing the surrounding elemental power to maintain a stable suspension. The four rows of metal and crystal forged leaf-shaped flying wings emit With hazy colored light. Further up, there is a thin atmosphere, where only the ether element wanders. Nostradamus also came to the side of the warrior, and the three of them stared at the surface world that had been stretched to the limit.

Here you can see most of the empire, forests, deserts, swamps, mountains, and plains. There are almost all kinds of ecological communities in this vast country. Even the exposed lava fields can be found around the wind-eroded desert—regardless of Everywhere, you can see dots of city lights. Intelligent life has lived on this land for thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, or even older than this. Hundreds of millions of human beings have multiplied on this continent. , Live a life of your own.

"It's crazy."

Gazing at the world, Joshua spoke. He said, "An old man in his tens of years said he would supervise a quarter of the human race, and threatened to eradicate all oppression and evil... Who does he think he is?"

"As you said, it was just a crazy old man's dream with his teacher."

On the throne, Israel made a deep voice: "After clearing the first batch of sinners, Teacher Nostradamus will popularize compulsory education throughout the empire - and the school will be established in the mansions of those lords and the original dark With regard to the lair, their wealth and royal family will not take a penny, and will use all of it."

"Wait until the two masters Barnier and William are officially hired as the tutors of our country's special research institute, and the materials and structure of the information terminal are further simplified, it will also become the standard equipment of the people of the empire. It will be the new rite of passage - the aristocracy still exists, but the privilege comes from contribution, and they can spend extravagantly, as long as they have enough strength and merit."

"We will not carry out massacres...we will maintain social stability."

On the side, Nostradamus said softly: "Israel will only execute those who have committed crimes but have not been punished. He will not intervene in ordinary civil and criminal cases. That is the job of the law enforcement department. I will try my best to cultivate a large number of young people with correct values ​​and world outlook...Israel cannot sit in this position forever, and they will become the pillars of the new society."

The emperor and the old mage have been planning for many years, but they have been stuck in the imperial capital because they couldn't get out of the first step. But now, the opportunity has come. With information terminals and floating battleships, their influence can cover the entire empire. These two people knew that the old society was extremely difficult to change, or even impossible to change, so the two legendary powerhouses brutally used their power to completely suppress and destroy the old society, and then built a new one from scratch.

And this process only takes thirty thirty days.

Crazy to the extreme, this kind of speed can't be achieved anywhere except in the world of magic and swords, except in the world of legendary strongmen who can suppress tens of thousands of troops with their own power.

Joshua remained silent, while Israel on the throne turned his head slightly. He glanced at the soldier, and his serious expression changed slightly.

The emperor said in a strange tone: "You laughed."

"Mr. Radcliffe...you actually laughed."

As he spoke, the corners of Israel's mouth turned up. He first snorted, and then laughed in a low voice: "You just said I was a lunatic——Joshua, you are crazier than me!"

On the other hand, Joshua was indeed laughing, he was smiling very happily, it was very natural, it was not mocking, nor was it intentional.

"Not all lunatics are bad."

He said this, the soldier closed his eyes slightly, and put his hands on his chest: "Everyone will dream, and the things in the dreams are all kinds of strange things, but you two are one of the few guys who want to realize the things in the dreams, and it is extremely rare , the guy who can accomplish the things of his dreams."

Perhaps because of the arrogance from the interstellar era, in Joshua's original concept, the strong in the world of Mycroft are strong enough, but in other respects they are just people from the magical feudal era. From the words of the old pope' Do you understand light? 'From the beginning, until the follow-up 'Massial Transformation' of the Sage of the East China Sea, and the 'Life Creation' of Galan Nord, everything was beyond Joshua's expectations. Until now, Israel Join forces with Nostradamus to prepare to rebuild a new society and directly upgrade an empire in the era of feudal lords to the level of a modern civilized society.

Joshua was amazed by the ideas of every legendary powerhouse. Their vision was not constrained by the times, but went far, far away... Not only do they have their own dreams, but they also hope that others will also have dreams. ——

Igor has spent his whole life maintaining the order of the world, but with his strength, it only takes five minutes to destroy the entire world. Galannord can ignore the elves and walk the natural path that suits him best, but she Still determined to move towards the unknown with the entire race, not to mention Nostradamus and Israel, an emperor, an emperor mentor, the president of the Royal Magic Association, and they are all legendary powerhouses. They were originally the greatest The exploiters, the upper class, no one can oppress them, but the two are still constantly thinking about how to make everyone truly liberated.

"Listen, Israel, Nostradamus."

Opening his eyes, the smile on Joshua's face gradually disappeared and turned solemn. He turned his head and looked at the two of them. I think that you will be corrupted immediately... But one person cannot always be right, and two people will also be confused-the philosopher king does not exist, and is always just. Just like the mother goddess of the earth, gods also have selfishness. The empire and its billions Wanzimin is not your plaything, a toy to play a game of 'totalitarian society', so, if that day really comes."

Speaking of this, Joshua paused, and he said in a calm tone: "I will wake you up, if your dreams deviate from your original track."

"Heh... Hahahahaha, it's really great to have your words!"

On the other side, after hearing Joshua's words, Israel actually laughed out loud. He no longer had tears, nor would he laugh because he couldn't breathe, but he still made this action just because he got agree.

——In this way, I can let go and work hard.

——Even if I make a mistake and go for a fork in the road, there are friends who are strong enough to stop me. Joshua, your insurance is unique in the world!

Joshua also laughed, and after the three of them laughed for a long time, Israel and Nostradamus withdrew their smiles.

"You're right." The emperor looked at Joshua, he nodded slightly, and said with relief: "Mr Radcliffe, I can't be 'just' forever, if one day, I really deviate from my own path , then please come and wake me up."

"That's why we called you here."

...

Nostradamus and Joshua walk in the flowing rainbow rainwater on the East Brent Plateau.

"The pollution is very serious. The high-intensity magic radiation will infect this land without any grass. Desertification is predictable, and even crystallization may occur."

Seeing the rainbow-like magic spar dust spewed out by the magic energy machine, Joshua glanced at the sewage flowing on the ground, and then continued his slow pace: "I forgot that industrialization must have pollution."

"The Special Research Institute has designed a special slime that can absorb this specialized hybrid magic power, and it will probably be officially put into use in a month and a half."

Walking in the rain with Joshua, Nostradamus stroked his beard, and his eyes were far away: "And Israel and I chose the East Bant Plateau precisely because there is no one inhabited here, even if the pollution is serious. , and will not temporarily affect the densely populated plains.”

"You just put him on it alone?"

"He's not a bomb that could get out of control at any time. Let Israel be calm and calm. He hasn't tamed the divinity yet."

The two casually chatted about some miscellaneous issues, ranging from the rumored treasure of One Piece in the Far East Islands to the intricate family relationship of a certain family in Xishan—it is not a strange thing for a brother to marry a niece, and a daughter to marry a father. The purity of those warlock families never cared about ethics.

"The White Tower of Guantian and we have conducted research. If it is only to ensure the 100% purity of the blood, it only needs to be cloned through necromological techniques. There is no need for incest."

Nostradamus shook his head and commented: "The offspring born by inbreeding may be imbecile. In fact, the reason why Xishan is so chaotic is because few warlock families can continue to produce geniuses who can dominate the mainland."

"Speaking of which, I've always wondered, the dragon blood in the Diamond family is nothing more than that, how did those goblin blood come from?"

Joshua couldn't help but tsk-tsk a few times when talking about the bloodline, but he also remembered that the Diamond family was also a member of Xishan back then, and they brought the leaders to the north at the beginning of the era, and then unexpectedly Become the ruler of this land: "I mean, love has nothing to do with race, but size..."

"You really thought they were going to have sex?"

Immediately, Nostradamus opened his eyes wide in surprise. He is an old man after all, and he has no scruples about this topic. The old mage held back for a while, but still laughed: "The so-called goblin bloodline just means that he was Goblins have relied on—you know that goblins are pure energy bodies, right? Their combination is in terms of energy and soul, which can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of both sides, and have the effect of one plus one greater than two."

"The soul and energy of a person who has been possessed will naturally change, becoming similar to a goblin, and then achieving an effect similar to bloodline inheritance."

It turned out to be the set of Valkyrie! Joshua instantly understood what the so-called possession was all about. In this way, it's not surprising that goblins are such a casual race. Whether it's character or reproduction method, they are really simple and casual. In this way, The sixth prince who is loved by the goblin may have completely inherited this bloodline that depends on changes.

The two continued to walk, leaving the scope of the Tianqi base. Joshua stopped and said, "Okay, master, I can just send it here, and I will fly back by myself."

"That's very far."

"Not for you or me—and it's nice to see the scenery once in a while."

However, just as Joshua was about to take a step forward and get up to leave, Nostradamus couldn't help but said, "Wait."

Joshua turned his head to look at the old mage, he didn't speak, his expression was calm, his eyes didn't fluctuate, no one could see what he was thinking.

"Joshua... what do you think of my choice with Israel?"

After hesitating for a while, the old mage still happily asked this question: "Although you agree with Israel, you just believe in him. You didn't say what you think about our plan...whether you are right or wrong, you are right." Indeed strong, we hope to get your advice."

"An opinion?"

Joshua blinked and was confused for a moment, but soon he answered: "It doesn't matter."

"It doesn't matter?!"

"Well, it doesn't matter."

Joshua nodded, but Nostradamus couldn't accept this answer. He frowned, took a step forward, and asked very seriously: "Is this your answer? Doesn't matter? All the people of the Northern Empire are related to the future of hundreds of millions of people - morality, order, good and evil, good and evil, everything is in it!"

"No, my indifference doesn't mean I don't care."

Joshua shook his head at the old mage's excitement, he thought for a while, and then gave an answer: "Listen, Nostradamus, I don't care about the future of human beings, they are happy in Utopia Ankang, or insensitivity in dystopia, that is their own choice."

"In this regard, human beings should judge themselves or save themselves. I don't care whether they are self-destructed or reborn."

Looking up at the sky, the night sky is bright, countless stars are twinkling in the light of the magic tide, the double moon shines on the sky and the earth, making the entire East Banerte Plateau glow with a layer of tulle and silver light, Joshua stares at the stars, he can see , in the huge energy flow sweeping across the multiverse, five stars are changing their trajectories, and they are moving slowly, approaching the world of Mycroft.

The gears are turning, the rivers are flowing, because of the grudge of the earth, and the stars move their places because they will.

"The position of good and evil, justice or not, is meaningless to real enemies. Whether it is evil gods or abyss lords, they don't care whether human beings are centralized or democratic."

Looking at the moving stars, Joshua's eyes shone with silver light, and he said softly, "For them, there is only destruction and being destroyed."

Nostradamus stared silently at the soldier in front of him. For the first time, he felt that the person in front of him was so strange and yet so familiar. What was he thinking? He couldn't understand it anymore.

But in fact, the idea of ​​a fighter has always been very simple.

"You are the emperor and his prime ministers. You need to think about the future of mankind, the stability of society, and the durability of the system...but I am just a soldier."

Joshua was no longer looking at the stars. He lowered his head and looked at Nostradamus. The soldier said gently, "I am the enemy of all chaos and evil, their god of death and their destruction."

"That's all."

Ask for a monthly ticket!
