Soul of Burning Steel

Although the Azure Orb has become unknown in the Mycroft Continent, after Joshua got it, in order to know more about this strange object of origin, he searched through all the ancient books he could find, and learned from some almost lost books. Some clues were obtained from the legend.

By completing these clues through the system, Joshua finally knew a lot of things in the ancient books, the ancient myths that have been almost completely forgotten by people.

—For example, the era before the Starfall Era.

Before the Starfall Era, there were two eras, one was the "Three Hundred Years of Lost" without any classics, and the other was the legendary "Glorious Era" before the loss.

The 300-year gap between the Lost and the Starfall is between Guangyao and Starfall, and the Guangyao Era is the legendary time when human beings are at their peak. At that time, the black forest on the land was not so rampant, it was just a characteristic natural phenomenon in the far south. Under the leadership of [Sage] and his [Thirteen Saints], magic energy technology spread throughout the world, Everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, and everyone has the leeway to pursue their dreams.

According to legend, human beings at that time could go among the stars like the people of Karlis, travel through the void and the world with the help of magic, and explore the endless multiverse. After [Light] and [Runes], it even reached the peak.

The holy light did not actually exist in this world before it was lost for three hundred years. It is the inheritance created by the sages, and it is the most powerful manifestation of the power of order. The sages will tell the whole world the method of cultivating the holy light and promise [ As long as your heart is toward the light and you hate evil, you can possess the power of the Holy Light].

As the sages said, there is no threshold for holy light. It is different from battle qi, which requires blood and talent, and different from magic, which requires soul resonance frequency and sensitive thinking. To obtain the power of holy light, you only need to be firm. With a firm heart towards goodness and order, one can have the power to resist chaos and evil. This achievement subverts everyone's imagination, and even makes the power of [Sage] reach a new peak. The world is under him and his disciples. Under the leadership of the leader, it went to the glory named [Guangyao].

But the good times don't last long, just as the sun rises and sets, the flame burns and goes out, the heyday is over, and the decline will follow.

The reason for the decline is not recorded even in ancient books, but according to Joshua's speculation, it is probably related to the abyss, because the information about the abyss has only increased since then. The demons of the Abyss attacked the world and were defeated by the humans led by the sages, but they also caused deep trauma to the world of Mycroft. The Celestial Orb is the rare object that the sage obtained when he counterattacked the abyss. He gave it to his third saint and left the legacy of the guardian of chaos until now.

In his previous life, Joshua's advanced [Hero Profession Rune Swordsman] had some relationship with that era, and he had also heard rumors of some sages in a vague way, but in this life, he advanced the direct lineage of the sages [Chaos Guardian] He held the Azure Orb, and he said that he felt a breath similar to the orb, so there must be nothing wrong.

At the bottom of the central vertical crater, the surging magic power flowed endlessly, and even condensed into a near-substantial barrier and misty mist. Perhaps Joshua and the others were lucky, and happened to catch up with the time when the magic power fluctuated and fell. Both the barrier and the fog have dissipated, allowing them to clearly see the scene at the bottom.

"Go down."

Without the slightest hesitation, Joshua said bluntly, he had already started to move his hands and feet, as if he was eager to try: "I have already come here, I must have a look."

The others thought about it carefully, and found that it was indeed the case. They had traveled for so long to reach the deepest part of the pyramid, and now they saw the obviously very important central area. It would be a little foolish not to explore it.

Even if the magic lightning looks scary, it is not too strong in the final analysis. They are all gold powerhouses, so how can they be afraid of this level of danger.

So everyone followed Joshua down.

Controlling the fighting spirit and turning into a red streamer, Joshua leaped down from the high platform with Rin in a leisurely manner. He was about 1,500 meters away from the ground at the bottom. From this aspect, it can also be seen that , How huge is this huge moving fortress.

The people descended slowly, the more they descended, the better their bodies felt, the stronger the magic power around them, and Rin's complexion became more and more beautiful--the psionic body in the human form of Shenji can easily absorb these free spirits. Energy replenishes stamina.

"The temperature is rising."

Keenly aware of this, Joshua found that the temperature around his body was getting warmer.

You know, in the desolate world outside the pyramid, the temperature in the sky and the earth has long since dropped to the point where ice can form out of thin air and frost can grow on the ground, but after entering the pyramid, the temperature becomes more and more suitable and comfortable Well, before, the temperature in the halls they passed through was barely above zero, but below this large vertical pit, there was a full 24 degrees, a temperature very suitable for human life.

"The power of order is also much stronger, and the aura similar to the Azure Orb is getting closer."

Joshua's eyes were narrowed slightly. He observed the steel city that was getting closer and closer under him. Out of the corner of his eye, he looked at the system, which showed that a new state had appeared on his body.

[Protection of order: As a life of order, you have received an inexplicable protection of power, all attributes X1.2.

You have the characteristic of unburned fire, you have the order-side hero profession Chaos Guardian, and you are in an environment with a high concentration of order power.

You have met the linkage status condition.

Purifying Blazing Light: Blessed with holy power, your damage to enemies on the chaotic side is X1.3

——The power of the blazing sky, the order of the ring]

It is normal for the Karlisians to pursue the power of order in order to resist the evil gods of the void. In particular, they originally worshiped the sun. As the source of all natural forces, the worship of the sun has always been closely related to order.

This is indeed a very logical thing, but Joshua never expected that the power of order held by the Carlissians was actually related to the Azure Orb—or even the sages! The [Glorious Sage] that only appeared in the classics, without a name, without an image, even the legendary deeds are vague, and no one can confirm the inheritance, and even the Holy Light can't prove its existence.

"Hoo-hoo--"

Accompanied by the surging wind, the red spot of light slowly descended in the vertical pit, and finally landed in the city made of steel. Immediately after, Moria and the elf also fell down together, standing beside Joshua.

"Unexpectedly, these are actually rune devices that control the flow of magic power, not houses, not even half a person or creature."

Standing in the middle of the steel street, Joshua looked carefully at the surrounding situation, and he quickly saw the essence of these seemingly magnificent high-rise buildings. These buildings were covered with complex arrays of runes, and countless magical powers followed the control of the runes. The turbulent flow rushed towards other places in the fortress.

The soldier was a little puzzled: "There is no house. If that's the case, then where is the magic machine you mentioned and the natural cycle that Ms. Claire mentioned?"

"It's still lower...it should be right below here."

Rin's voice hesitated, because the magic power flow around him was too huge, he was a little afraid to confirm now: "This pyramid is too big, we have walked for so long, it should be only in the lower middle of it, and I The aura of the divine machine that I noticed is very huge... No, is that a divine machine?"

At the end, the boy closed his eyes in doubt and sensed again.

"me too."

Clare, who was standing beside Moria, also nodded, and then she asked in confusion, "Down...then how should I get in, and then find a downward passage?"

"Or just like you open the door, let's make a passage down?"

When it came to this, Claire made a rare joke.

"It's not necessary."

And just as Joshua and the others were thinking about their next move, a voice with a slight electronic tremolo came from above their heads. "I'll just take you there."

"who?"

Joshua was shocked that someone could bypass his perception and came to their side without sound.

Of course, what surprised the soldier even more was that other people's voices actually appeared in this steel city that he had already confirmed to be empty.

Moria and Clare also became alert, but judging from their expressions, they seemed to have completely failed to understand what this sentence meant. After realizing this, Joshua realized that the systematic translation Not just the text, but even the spoken voice is translated together.

And just when everyone was alerted by this voice, a translucent shadow with a little blue light slowly appeared in front of everyone.

This shadow was really just a shadow at first, a strange power flowing between the shadows, but as the power gathered, it gradually formed a translucent figure emitting a faint blue light.

It was a female Karlisian. Her figure was a little blurry at first, but it gradually became more refined with the continuous filling of energy. A pair of black wings stretched out from behind her waist, trembling slightly, and she was wearing She was wearing a white lab robe, and her hair was pale blue. Although the wind around her was strong, it didn't flutter in the slightest.

She is a magic projection.

"A visitor from another world with a sage, I have been waiting for you for a long time." The projection of this female Karlisian spoke with a tone as smooth as a machine, and her eyes were just indifferent, but she posed very respectfully : "I am Mobile Fortress Artificial Intelligence No. 03, you can call me 03."
