Soul of Burning Steel

One second to remember 【】, to provide you with wonderful novel reading.

In the spring of 833, named as the year of dragon calamity, many major events happened that could be recorded in the annals of history.

First, it was the celebration of the victory of the Northern Empire in the Moon of Awakening.

This celebration, which was held to celebrate the victory in the war against the orcs, lasted for a week and two days. Many countries and major forces sent envoys to congratulate them. Even the Far South Kingdom and the Church of the Seven Gods, which are fighting against the dragon calamity, specially A team of envoys were sent to meet the imperial emperor with a generous gift.

Ordinary people reveled in the streets and drank fine wine, but the envoys of many countries did not have time for banquets. They had many important meetings in the Imperial Capital Morlai Palace, and through detailed information sent by the Far South Kingdom and the Church of the Seven Gods, The ambassadors of other countries that have not yet been invaded by the mad dragon understand the seriousness of the matter.

In short, if it weren’t because the south of the mainland is full of jungles, there are still many elven tribes scattered all over the country, dragging the pace of the crazy dragons like a fortress, maybe they have already crossed the [Naka Mountains] , Formally entered the territory of the western mountain countries, and the western human gathering place that has been flat for many years is not capable of gathering an army capable of fighting the dragon disaster in a short time. The attack of the wild dragon will cause hundreds of thousands, even Millions of casualties.

In fact, the mad dragons are already doing this. Behind these irrational raging monsters, there seems to be a commander. It is gathering forces and rushing all the way to the northwest, preparing to bring the plague and death to other areas, but because of lack For supplies, the Naka Mountain fortress group of the Far South Kingdom is crumbling and urgently needs support. The ambassador of the Far South Kingdom is here for this reason. Their central defense line is more than self-preserving, but they absolutely can't take into account the fortresses in other directions.

But fortunately, the large force of the flying mad dragon was ambushed in the far sea by the "Glaydon Anthem Team" of the Church of the Seven Gods. The elite troops composed of monks completed their mission perfectly. The Holy Light of Heaven's Punishment shining in the sky defeated the group of flying dragons, and the leading dragon was also beheaded, otherwise the current situation would be ten times more severe.

Secondly, it is the great power of the Eastern Plains, the discovery of the Guantian White Pagoda in the Central Black Forest, the largest spellcaster organization on the Mykrov continent.

The entire Mykrov continent is roughly divided into five parts by jungles, mountains, canyons, and rivers. They are four large human gathering areas in the southeast, northwest and northwest, and the central black forest that occupies more than half of the continent.

It is a real demon for everyone, the environment there is extremely dangerous, full of weird poisonous fog and miasma, and the living creatures are more dangerous than the other-you know, the central black forest is the entire road , The only dangerous place that has been confirmed to have a plurality of legendary beasts and ancient dragons inhabits. Its degree of danger even surpasses **** and abyss. At least powerful warlocks can live in the abyss for a long time, but none of them can guarantee that they can be black in the center. Live a week deep in the forest.

It’s like human beings on Earth can explore the moon and Mars, but don’t know much about the deep sea and the underground. The Central Black Forest is like that. But when a team of elite wizards from the White Pagoda is exploring it, they unexpectedly Among them, a huge city ruin was found.

The scope of this ruin is beyond everyone's imagination. The entire eastern basin and nearly two hundred square kilometers of forest underground are the ruins of this city. It seems to have been hit by a huge meteorite and smashed into the ground.

The wizard team of the Guantian White Pagoda immediately realized that this was a discovery that shocked the entire world. The materials unearthed in it could certainly answer many doubts for historians around the world. For example, a thousand years ago, the legendary In the last epoch, how was that prosperous civilization destroyed? During the three hundred years of loss, what happened to turn its ruins into such a vast black forest?

There was a sound of paper closing.

"It's indeed this time." After putting down the newspaper in his hand, Qiao Xiuya nodded slightly and said to himself: "Unfortunately this is a report that was only published yesterday, so there is only general news. I don't know what the group of wizards is. What was found in the ruins."

"After all, in this life without the help of adventurer players, I really don't know if the group of guys with noses on their heads got the design drawings of the Star Crystal Furnace just like the previous life."

Star pendant 832, April 16th, afternoon, the northern imperial capital, Sanshan holy city.

The imperial capital at this time was no different from when Joshua and the others arrived half a month ago.

The celebration of victory has ended. The wreaths and statues originally placed on the streets have been removed. Whether it is tourists from foreign countries or people living here, they have long returned to their daily ordinary lives.

But even so, as the capital of a country, the prosperity of the Sanshan Holy City is still impressive. Walking on the commercial avenue leading to the inner city of the imperial capital, Joshua deliberately slowed down, and the two sides are beautifully decorated. The shops and tall buildings in the city attract people's attention. Not far away, the newly erected orc war memorial stands opposite the St. Clair Cathedral, which is plated with gold by the warm sun in the afternoon.

Just now, Joshua bought a stack of recent spellcaster newspapers from the bookstore belonging to the Imperial Royal Mage Association to learn about the latest big news.

This newspaper is only sold to nobles and spellcasters. The information in it is much more detailed than ordinary newspapers. The warrior has obtained a lot of valuable information from it. Synthesizing those things he knew in his previous life, Gio Xiuya can keep in mind Roughly piece together a picture of the world today.

When the war between the northern empire and the orcs ended, the dragon disaster in the far south became more and more fierce, and even began to spread to other regions. Although the Guantian White Pagoda has unexpectedly discovered the relics of the previous era, they have no time to go. I have studied those ancient buildings. Soon, the army of dragons and beasts will spread to the world. Only when they are all eliminated can the next era, the beginning of the [Pioneering Era].

——For the time being, there is no need to think so far.

Shaking his head, Joshua handed the newspaper to Lin, who was aside, and told him to put it away.

At this time, everyone has entered the inner city of the imperial capital, and the noisy human voices in the original business district disappeared in an instant. On the King's Avenue, which leads directly to Morlai Palace and almost no one, can only see scattered pedestrians walking around. , I can occasionally see several carriages with complicated and ancient coats of arms passing slowly.

Due to the cult incident that occurred before the celebration, the alert level of the entire imperial capital has been raised a lot, and the performance of the court nobles who cherish their lives is even more obvious-if they are not necessary, they rarely go out, even if they go out, they all ride in carriages, like This kind of soldier, walking on the street with two entourages on foot, is simply a different kind of different kind.

In any case, Qiao Xiuya and others came to the entrance of the towering walls of Morlai Palace.

The guard at the door wanted to speak, so that the three people who seemed to be strolling here quickly left, but he recognized the identity of the soldier, so the reprimand instantly turned into a respectful greeting.

Under Joshua's gaze, these elite guard knights in black armor were a little fidgety.

At first, looking from a distance, no one noticed that the young man walking on the street was the famous dragon-slaying lord in the Imperial Capital recently, but when the warriors stood in front of them, the knights understood why there was no new one for a long time. In the'attention list' where the name was added, the name'Joshua' suddenly appeared, why many big figures specially asked not to offend the Lord Earl, who is bound to be promoted to a high position in the future.

Because the other party is really too strong.

A guard knight who had the honor to meet one of the five major legions of the empire, the captain of the White Horse Legion, was a little shocked to discover that the pressure on him at this time was almost as heavy as the captain of the legion brought him.

——Could it be that he has reached that state? Obviously he didn't even have half of the army commander who had been fighting for many years, but now he has achieved the same achievement...

"Good day, Earl Radcliffe."

The warrior’s random gaze made everyone present feel that all the weaknesses on their bodies were seen through, and the heavy pressure spread. In order to break the increasingly stagnant atmosphere, the leading knight could not help but wipe the cold sweat from his head and speak. Said: "You came to Morlai Palace, do you want to find Master Nostradamus?"

"No... well, you can say the same."

Originally, Joshua wanted to say that he was going to meet the Emperor directly, but after thinking about it carefully, the other party may not have time to see him. However, telling the old mage about the plague is the same as telling the Emperor, so the soldier changed his words directly. : "When can I meet Master Nostradamus?"

"The master said that he couldn't contact you recently, so he specifically ordered that if you come to the Morlai Palace, the count will ask you to go directly to the library of the Black Swan Palace to find him. The master has been there to sort out ancient books recently."

Just stepped aside, and the leader looked like he was eager for Joshua to leave early. As time went by, he felt that the pressure on the opponent was getting heavier, as if something was infiltrating the warrior’s body bit by bit It's like coming out.

Without being polite, Joshua nodded and walked directly into Morlai Palace, and immediately after he left, the originally nervous guards suddenly sighed with relief.

"It feels scarier than a dragon!"

A young-looking knight frowned, his face made no secret of fear: "I'm not complaining either-why doesn't the sir not restrain his coercion? This shouldn't be difficult!"

"Perhaps it has converged, or even weakened deliberately...I just sensed the fluctuation of magic items."

And the other knight nodded thoughtfully. He looked at where Joshua had left, and squinted his eyes and said: "If your lord hasn't restrained his strength, maybe you and I are still lying on the ground now. "

Inside the walls of Morlai Palace, other guards patrolling have also received notifications from the guards at the entrance of the walls. They knew the identity of Joshua and his party, so they did not step forward to disturb, but bowed slightly.

Walking all the way, until the door of the palace, Joshua raised his hand to signal Ying and Rin to stop. He stood at the door and whispered to his gods: "Someone will meet us."

Soon after, as Joshua said, a red-haired knight in silver-gray armor with a guard logo on his shoulders came to them. The warrior noticed the pattern on the opponent's sword and the color of the ribbon on his waist. , Knowing that the opponent is a direct descendant of a nobleman, and now serving as the Knight Commander of the Guard in the palace, he doesn't know whether the opponent is gilded or is really ready to develop in this direction, but the opponent has already saluted him.

"Good day, Lord Radcliffe, it's an honor to meet you."

The knight commander respectfully saluted Joshua. He seemed to have known Joshua’s identity a long time ago, and he was extremely enthusiastic: "Are you going to see Lord Nostradamus? He is now hosting at the Royal Library. Sort out ancient books, please come with me."

"Thanks."

Following the opponent forward, Joshua is not surprised by the respect of the opponent. The strength of this red-haired knight commander is close to the golden realm. If the perception is sharp enough, then he can naturally feel that the strength of the warrior is no longer a simple golden peak. Yes, coupled with Joshua’s deeds of killing a great demon in the imperial capital, naturally many people are willing to show goodwill to him.

The respect on the surface is just the most basic.

Morlai Palace is a large-scale palace complex. The roads are intricate and complicated. There is no familiar person to lead the way. Few people can walk to the place they want by themselves. The Black Swan Palace seems to be in a deeper position. The red-haired knight takes Joe Xiu. Ya and others have walked for about ten minutes, but they haven't arrived yet.

Along the way, Joshua knew the identity of the knight, and it was a coincidence that the Warner family and the Kaos family in which the opponent was in were related to each other. The knight named Findal was still Brandon’s according to his generation. Far cousin.

The relationship between the nobles is almost like this. Every big family has inextricable connections with other families. Thanks to the Radcliffe family’s responsibility as gatekeepers, plus the single pass of the gods, there are not so many. With a messy relationship, Joshua didn't need to recite the list of those weird relatives.

And just as Fendall said that when he was about to arrive at the Black Swan Palace, there were waves of footsteps on the other side of the corridor.

Soon after, a group of people wearing church-style white robes walked silently from across the corridor. They looked solemn and walked in a hurry, as if they were anxious to do something.

But what really attracted attention was not these silent monks, but the center of the team, a woman who looked a little weak but was exceptionally beautiful.

Under the dim light of the palace corridor, this woman in a decently white robe and a gorgeous crystal crown is very eye-catching. Her eyes are covered by a circle of black blindfold, and only the white can be seen. She has smooth cheeks and jaws, and her long platinum hair hangs down to her waist naturally like a waterfall.

I can't see the eyes-but even so, it's beautiful.

Joshua naturally noticed this pedestrian ~www.novelmtl.com~ and the other side also noticed them-whether it is a black-haired warrior with a young girl or a church monk in an imperial palace, it is so abnormal and tolerable Unable to pay attention, Joshua's gaze swept over, and then she saw the beautiful woman, who seemed to be thinking about some thought-provoking questions, and moving forward was just her subconscious action.

Joshua couldn't help frowning.

"strange……"

The soldier whispered to himself: "Familiar taste."

And the woman with her eyes covered slightly stopped, and the entire cultivator team paused. It can be seen that the entire team is centered on this woman with long platinum hair.

She turned her head, as if looking at Joshua, although her eyes were covered, the soldier felt like being scrutinized.

However, neither side said much. After observing each other for a short while, the two teams passed by and walked towards their destinations.
