Soul of Burning Steel

The obsidian wall of Morlai Palace is so hard that even hundreds of years of wind and frost have not changed it in the slightest.

On the side of the palace where the sun is engraved, there is a wide garden in which there are statues of sages and emperors in the past. The pure white marble is used as a road, which is divided into two sections, and this road leads directly to a side hall. , The supreme of the empire often leaned on his dragon-skin armchair among them, read books, and enjoyed a moment of leisure.

However, in the royal study in the center of Morlai Palace, the atmosphere is solemn, as if a storm is brewing.

"ridiculous--"

Cold laughter echoed in the study. A tall man with dark blonde shoulder-length hair stood in front of his desk. He glanced at the samurai standing in front of him respectfully, and said flatly: "I don't want to listen to you Say what riots are happening in my city, Nash, don’t you think I don’t know about it?"

"No, my majesty."

Wearing chain mail and a single sword, the samurai named Nash lowered his head lowered, and he explained softly: "With your strength, I must have known the cause of this matter..."

"Then don't talk nonsense."

Interrupting the words of his subordinates, Israel Diamond, the ruler of the empire, looked like ice: "Tell me, when can I start to act and eliminate the cultists in the holy city?"

"I'm afraid...it will take some time to prepare!"

Gritting his teeth, Nash did not dare to look directly at the emperor. A cold sweat appeared on his forehead: "Your Majesty, the city guards have begun martial law. They are blocking the teleportation formation and prohibiting outsiders from entering and leaving the holy city-but this time it is strange. There is no clue, we don’t even know where to start the search. This time there is no trace of chaos, and no one has noticed any clues. We have no way of starting!"

Seeing that Israel did not continue to reprimand, the samurai was relieved, perhaps because of the fact that he had been in the army all the year round. This powerful emperor was not inexplicable, but just hated non-straightforward words. That's it, so after a while, he added: "The owner of the house and his family of four have confirmed that all of them were killed. The corpses burned to coke have been found in the basement. They had received great pain and torture during their lives, so they couldn't confirm it. At the time of death, we have reason to believe that this was a premeditated attack, and the cultists may have already begun preparations a week ago."

"There are still no traces of cultists, and a few days later it will be a celebration feast and carnival..."

Speaking of this, Nash's heart has begun to beat wildly, but due to his professionalism, even if it is very likely to anger Israel, he has to say his own judgment: "So, your majesty, me and Others think that it is necessary to temporarily postpone the celebration banquet, and wait until we have captured all the **** cultists before holding it another day!"

"I think that group of people will attack on the day of the celebration, so for the sake of safety, do you plan to delay the banquet?"

At this time, Israel's tone became normal. He calmly said: "With a reasonable judgment, as a courtier, you are considered competent."

Before Nash put down the big stone in his heart, the voice came again: "But."

The emperor of the empire walked to his desk, and Israel raised his head to look at the [Five-Star Huanyang] coat of arms at the dome: "I am the emperor of the empire."

"The holy city is the capital of the empire."

"At the banquet in the imperial capital two days later, envoys from most countries on this continent will be gathered. There will be members from the noble families of the entire empire, even the group of elves and underground dwarves in the silent forest. The representatives came to congratulate, let alone the envoys of the Church of the Seven Gods."

He turned his head and looked at the samurai who was already sweating profusely, and said flatly: "The cultists want to damage not only my face, but also the faces of the imperial capital, the empire, and the royal family."

"Nash, you are the leader of [Shadow], the sharpest knife and ears in my hand. I don't want to hear anything about waiting until the capture is completed. What I want is to eliminate all uncertain and unstable factors."

"I will give you the corresponding rights, listen, my warrior, you will be able to mobilize all the city guards, half of my guards, and thirty [Mars Guards], so tell me now, Do you have the confidence to guarantee the safety of the imperial capital?"

Silently, a talisman representing power appeared in front of Nash's eyes, and this golden peak, a powerhouse in the realm of extreme intentions, did not have the slightest sign of discovery, but he seemed to be accustomed to the power of the emperor. Unpredictable power, so there was no exclamation. Nash respectfully picked up the talisman, and then shouted, almost roaring: "Yes! Your Majesty!"

After that, he did not dare to gasp, Nash did not even dared to raise his eyes and look directly at the face of the ruler of the empire, but Israel was very satisfied with this refreshing reply, he nodded and said: "I will leave this fact to you. Up."

"Get out."

Hearing the Lord’s command, the samurai put his hand on his chest, bowed back, and the chain armor rubbed against the weapon on his waist, making a metal crash. After hearing the sound of the door closing, Israel was silent for a while. , Then sighed slightly, and said to the empty void beside him: "Teacher, you are here."

With this sentence, the blue light bloomed, and the only white-haired mage with the right to teleport in the palace appeared in the study. Nostradamus looked solemn, and he looked at this legendary man. The strength is already a student who is better than blue. The old mage originally had a lot to say, but in the end he condensed into a long sigh: "Israel, have you committed your old problem again?"

"Yes it is."

Slowly sitting on the dragon leather armchair behind the desk, this noble emperor now looks just a troubled ordinary person, his face is a little tired, and he does not have the majesty of facing Nash before: "Decades When the former and the orcs were fighting, the spine injured by the curse of the former high priest was still not healed. This injury was really suffered too early. It has already penetrated into my origin. Even if I have advanced to the realm of legend, it can be barely suppressed. ."

"This time the elf's messenger will come and bring the buds of the tree of origin of life."

Nostradamus walked slowly to the desk. He originally came here to discuss things about the cultists and about the celebration, but after seeing Israel’s current state, the old mage couldn’t change it. Turning his attention to other places, he said solemnly: "That is the purest gathering of vitality in the world. With it, you may be able to clear the hidden dangers in your body."

"Of course, I originally planned to try to break through the legendary high-level after the celebration."

Slowly closing his eyes, Israel sneered: "Those **** bugs, taking advantage of my poor condition, plan to provoke the majesty of the empire. After the celebration, I will completely remove the cult from the empire's territory. remove."

The words are sonorous and powerful, and people will not question the determination of its owner at all.

And in the Mage Association.

The Royal Mage Association is located in the most prosperous area in the inner city of the Imperial City. It can even be regarded as the center of the inner city. The six central avenues connecting the outer city and the inner city all converge in front of the association to form a fountain square. It is a tall building similar to the Council Hall and City Hall, but the most magnificent is the Royal Mage Association.

After observing the explosion site, the three of Joshua and Ying and Rin continued to ride to the Royal Mage Association in the inner city in a carriage. Upon arrival, Nostradamus looked in a hurry, as if there was something to do. After a hello, he used time and space spells to teleport and leave, leaving only Brandon and the soldiers in the association.

Brandon seems to be a regular visitor here. Along the way, both the guards and the passing wizards knew him ~www.novelmtl.com~ and surprisingly, some of them also knew Joshua, a small part of them. People even come forward and want to shake hands excitedly.

Come to think of it, these people are people who know the warrior’s past achievements. In the Northern Empire, a country that worships the strong, this kind of thing is normal. The soldiers are a little surprised. Unknowingly, they have a loyal fan. .

The interior of the association is very spacious, and Joshua somewhat suspects that some time-space technology is used in it, and Brandon’s later explanation also proves this-the space inside the association is equivalent to an entire large square, a spell laboratory, Dangerous areas such as the alchemy laboratory are all inside the space, so even if there is an extremely dangerous accident, the space-time structure of the Mage Association itself will be destroyed at most, without affecting the surrounding city hall and other buildings, which maximizes the guarantee Safety.

"I have been working in a laboratory researching the mad dragon virus recently."

Brandon walked in front of the corridor of the Association, leading the way for Joshua and his two weapons. The blond swordsman was extremely enthusiastic: "Now, I am going to take you over to see, although the laboratory may not be available at this time. People, but at least I can introduce you to the results of our recent research."

"You will be surprised, I promise."
