Soul of Burning Steel

Vol 6 Chapter 8: Box of Erebus

"Are you going to leave now?"

Atanis stood up, and he actually had some doubts in his heart about the so-called melanemia. After all, the sudden plague was still a bit weird, but when he faced the man in front of him, all his doubts disappeared.

Joshua is a man who doesn’t lie, nor can he lie. He has said many strange and delusional things, but in the end all of them are fulfilled one by one. If the old bishop of other people might even try, But Joshua alone does not.

This is a fighter worthy of trust.

"Almost, it's in good shape now."

Standing up, Qiao Xiu took a deep breath. The strong fighting energy centered on the heart. As the blood vessels spread to the whole body, a burst of red light circulated around the body. The soldier felt the power in the body, and then looked out the window. Asked: "How is Hei? Why didn't I see it?"

"It's too big to enter the city, so I asked someone to take it to Nissi Winterhold, where it is so big that it can accommodate at least one dragon."

Shaking his head, Atanis seemed to sigh with emotion: "It's getting bigger and bigger. What have you eaten for it recently... By the way, I'll go and bring that thing out to you first. If you're so direct Going to the imperial capital will definitely cause huge riots."

As if suddenly remembering something, the old bishop immediately turned and walked towards the door. He asked Joshua to wait in the room first, and then stepped towards the stairs.

"Speaking of it, it seems that we haven't been idle recently."

Watching the old bishop leave, Rin, who was sitting on the side, stretched out. The black-haired boy dragged a long voice in a lazy tone: "Really-busy."

"Think about it, it's like this..."

Ying lay on the table and said in a soft tone: "After playing for so long, I think I really need to take care of it... I can't afford to deal with the plague."

The expression and demeanor of the silver-haired girl can only be described in one word, and that is laziness.

"Don't worry, the plague is not our turn to deal with."

Qiao Xiuya sat back on the chair again. He looked at the young girl's now exhausted look a little funny. Of course, the warrior understood that it was precisely because of the plague that something like the plague couldn't be cut with a weapon, so Ying and Rin had no interest.

After thinking about it, Joshua relieved his two weapons: "At most, we will deal with the plague in our territory. To really deal with this invisible disease, we still have to look at the power of the empire and the church. It is not our turn. Bother."

The plague broke out on a large scale in the previous life because the dragon blight blocked the connection between the sacred mountain in the distant sea and the outside world. In addition, various cultists created riots in the refugee wave, which attracted the attention of the high level of the Far South Kingdom, and there was no time for the epidemic area Blockade, and in this life, the crazy dragon vaccine appeared at least one or two years earlier, the pressure of the dragon calamity was not so great, and the sacred mountain in the distant sea did not lose contact with the outside world. In this way, can melanemia cause such large casualties? Still unknown.

Even if it could, it didn't make sense. He went to the imperial capital to completely kill this possibility in the cradle. Although Joshua didn't remember how the targeted drugs were made, he knew what the materials were! The original task of collecting special medicine materials was the daily routine of all players in the Far South. Even now, he can clearly recall what materials are needed and how much they weigh.

Soon after, Atanis returned to the room.

He held a pocket watch in his hand. The watch body was silver, and the chain was shining with warm metal light. It looked a little old. The old bishop directly handed the pocket watch to Joshua, and the soldier was not polite and took it. .

When he opened it, Joshua found that, like a normal pocket watch, the hands were walking slowly, which was the current time.

"Just inject a little magic or grudge. Its function is to hinder others' perception of you."

Atanis explained the utility of this pocket watch to Joshua: "Although you cannot change your appearance, ordinary people cannot remember your appearance after being affected by it, and the resentment and chaotic atmosphere of your boarding body will be affected by it. Cover it up, at least it won’t cause panic.”

—But going around is still inevitable.

"Thanks a lot."

Qiao Xiu injected a bit of grudge on the spot and activated its effect. A wave of magic power immediately covered the whole body of the warrior. At this moment, Ying, Rin and Atanis all had the illusion that Qiao Xiu had disappeared. , Mingming Joshua was standing in front of them, but the thought of'There is nothing here' was turning back and forth in the brain.

However, this illusion was only a moment. After that moment, everything returned to normal, but the strong sense of presence in the soldier was indeed weakened a lot. If it was like the sun before, as long as you see it, you can’t ignore it. If that is the case, then Joshua is just an ordinary tall man, although it is eye-catching and even attracts people's head, but it is just that.

【Mist Pocket Watch】

【Higher Magic Creation】

[Effect: Greatly reduce the sense of existence of the holder, and block low-level exploration spells. 】

【—Who can remember the passerby walking in the mist and passing by? 】

"Not bad."

Seeing everyone's reaction, Joshua nodded with satisfaction: "Thanks for your hard work, Bishop Atanis, this suits me well."

"This is the equipment I have used. I traveled the entire empire back then. In order not to cause conflict in certain sensitive areas, I specially customized this magic item."

The old bishop smiled slightly. He looked at the pocket watch in Joshua’s hand, with a trace of nostalgia in his eyes: “It’s been more than 30 years, but I didn’t expect it to work so well. The last time I took it out, I still drank with Fan. "

Speaking of the name of the previous generation of housekeepers in the Radcliffe family, the room suddenly became quiet. Atanis also noticed this, and he laughed self-deprecatingly: "When a person is old, it is easy to remember the past."

"The past should be recalled."

Bringing this pocket watch into his arms, Joshua shrugged, and there was a trace of nostalgia in his eyes. He murmured: "Yes, the four hundred years of obsession of the Radcliffe family is over. Karlis World The chaos in the middle has also completely dissipated, and everything has passed."

Maybe we should find some time to go back to the family cemetery in the Black Forest Fortress.

—Tell those souls who have passed away that their persistence has been answered.

And just when everyone in Moldavia was ready to set off.

Imperial Capital, Royal Mage Association, the second large underground laboratory.

In the solemn, icy steel hall's center, stood a huge square crystal cover tens of meters high, and the crystal cover was filled with gray and strange mist.

This mist obscured all vision, even if there were dozens of high-powered positive energy arrays emitting a steady stream of light, there was no way to purify it and see the existence behind it.

It can be seen that this mist seems to have an unknown source, and its concentration is still increasing bit by bit. If it weren't for the high concentration of positive energy to offset some of it, maybe the mist would have turned black long ago.

Around the crystal cover, standing seven wizards wearing white robes and surging with powerful magical aura, they watched this scene, and they were discussing in a low voice with each other.

"Ordinary positive energy and holy light cannot be completely purified, and can only contain the mist released by the'Box of Erebus'."

An old man with a low voice, with a serious expression on his face, said to the surrounding wizards: "There are only ten days left before the three-month period given to us by His Majesty the Emperor. If you still can’t resolve this mist, open Erebos. In accordance with the agreement, the empire will transfer it to the idiots with eyes above the top of the East Guantian White Pagoda."

"At that time, let alone the emperor's anger, the association's funds will be cut, and we will definitely be treated as waste and hung on the pillar of shame."

"But we haven't been able to do it so far!"

Another middle-aged mage with a terrible expression frowned and said: "The gray mist is a chaos. No matter what method is used, there is no way to get close to its center. Although we have used white crystals to isolate the mist, there are many experiments. If you can't even do the first step, how can you open the secret box in the center?"

The other mages also agreed one by one. Although they are all proud mages, the two and a half months of research without clues and results have caused everyone to doubt their IQ. In fact, there were close to twenty mages who joined forces. Research on this subject, but now there are only seven people left.

Box of Erebus. Repeating the name silently in his heart, the old mage's face couldn't help but become harder to look.

This weird item came from the ground of the ruined orc king's court.

Not long ago, the empire put all the power of the whole country to annihilate the confidant of hundreds of years. The orc family entrenched in the Tartarus Plain in the northwest. The orc king's court was burned in the fire, and in the excavation after the war. , A knight found an extremely hidden underground tunnel in the center of the ruins of the royal court.

The length of this tunnel cannot be calculated. It is unusually curved. It leads to the depths of the earth. During the exploration, everyone found that there are countless strange murals on both sides of the tunnel. These murals are completely different from the totem style commonly used by orcs. It seems to be the product of another civilization.

After researching, the entourage mage believed that this mural was not in the style of the centaur that was extinct by the orcs, but was another creation of a new race that had never appeared on the mainland. This immediately caused a sensation in the academic world—the Orc King’s Court. Next, there is the remains of a new unknown race.

Within a few days, wizards from all over the world who were interested in studying ancient civilizations came to the ruins of the Orc King’s Court. Many of them were members of powerful forces like the Guantian White Pagoda and the Seven Luminaries Council. Even the empire had to give them a copy. face.

With the support of many forces, the large-scale excavation started immediately. After being well prepared and walking along the tunnel for at least ten kilometers underground, the masters came to the end of the tunnel—a huge underground cave.

The inside of the dark cave was filled with a rotten and disgusting stench. Through various explorations of spells, the wizards found that it was full of decayed and even fossilized bones. Everyone agreed that this place belongs to a certain race. Sacrifice field.

After sorting out these bones, the wizards discovered that this is indeed a brand new species.

After roughly restoring the shape of these white bones through spells, this brand-new creature is divided into two categories, one of which is tall and basically has a height of more than three meters, and the other is extremely rare, with their physiques. More robust, and has two heads and natural ability to cast spells.

The double heads are obviously the upper level of this race, controlling other single-headed individuals, and most of the corpses are single-headed, and they are obviously sacrificial offerings.

And in the center of this cave, above a stone altar, there is a box that seems to be soaked in black with countless blood.

That is, the box of Erebos.

The box of Erebos was not abnormal at first, until a mage holding it was injured by an accident, and blood touched it, and the black box that had absorbed the blood began to release a steady stream of mist, this mist It has strong corrosiveness and deceptiveness, neither magic nor vindictiveness can penetrate it. It killed a lot of people on the spot, and even almost closed the exit of the underground cavern. The mages on the scene could not stop it using various means. It was forced to put it in the crystal cover and seal it, and sent it back to the imperial capital all the way.

In this process, the mages from the Guantian White Pagoda contributed a lot. Therefore, due to geographical reasons, the opportunity to study the black box was given to the empire. If the empire did not produce results, then it was given to the Guantian White Pagoda, and the black box was also due to It will release the characteristics of black fog, UU reading www. uukanshu.com is dubbed [Erebos].

As the existence of an ancient race devoted to the power of the whole family, both the Empire and the Guantian White Pagoda believe that the box of Erebos contains a deep mystery. If it can be analyzed, it will undoubtedly enhance its own. Strength, apart from anything else, the mist that cannot be penetrated by magic alone is of great value in terms of infiltration and concealment.

"Perhaps we should go to the heir of the Kaos family, Brandon Kaos, he has a powerful purifying power."

A mage made an opinion. He seemed to want to say a long time ago, but he did not speak for some reason, but now it has indeed reached the deadline, and he couldn’t bear it: "I know, your relationship with Nostradamus Not good, and prejudiced against his students, but now is not the time to pay attention to this."

"…you are right."

After taking a deep breath, the old mage headed by him seemed a little annoyed when he heard the name Nostradamus, but he quickly calmed down: "My personal face is naturally not as good as an imperial mage. The face of the association."

After a pause, he whispered: "Please come."
