Soul of Burning Steel

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

With a faint sigh, the owner of this voice, Nostradamus, walked into the lounge.

The robes on his body were flowing with a layer of blue light. As the blue light swept across, the frost in the hall evaporated out of thin air, and the tables, chairs and books that flew away all returned to their original positions. After the entire hall was restored, white The old mage who was sent turned his head and stared at Joshua and said, "It's been a long time, Joshua, I haven't seen you for a while. I didn't participate in the celebration, and no one answered the communication with you. Where have you been during this time? "

There was a hint of complaint in Nostradamus’ words. It was he who recommended Joshua to participate in the celebration. The old mage originally wanted to take this opportunity to introduce the warrior to his old friends, but the one that continued in the celebration For half a week, he couldn't find Joshua at all. Neither prophecy nor astrology guidance was useful, let alone magic communication. The warrior seemed to disappear from this world.

"It's hard to say, Master Nostradamus, you may not believe it, I went against a group of rocks."

Qiao Xiuya stretched his hands. He stood up and shrugged helplessly. He was really telling the truth. Whether it was a stone demon or a world-destroying star, in the final analysis, it was a group of stones. Thinking of this, the soldier couldn't help but sigh with sincere emotion: " They are really hard to deal with."

"Well, some special stone elements are indeed a bit difficult to deal with, but Di Moore... why are you here?"

After blinking, Nostradamus misunderstood that Joshua had gone to the earth element world, but he didn't care about it. After all, the celebration was over. The old mage turned his head and looked at the second prince who was frowning and looked a little ugly. Sighed and said, "I know, you must have made the shot first, right?"

"Grandmaster……"

Di Moore replied in a low voice. He is not as confident as before—not because he lost to Joshua, but because...

"Don't explain, little Dimoore, I understand the character of your Diamond family."

Nostradamus said angrily and funny. He seemed to be really surprised by this incident: "You are the same as your father. The Royal Library... If it weren't for too much movement, it made me aware that the library was about to be demolished."

"No, we will grasp the strength..."

"You have a good grasp of the strength, which means the same as before?"

...

Seeing that Dimoore was reprimanded so much that he lowered his head to admit his mistakes, Joshua’s mouth was slightly tilted. The archmage was the teacher of His Majesty Israel, and even fought together on the battlefield. It depends on the seniority. Everyone in the royal family is Be a student junior in front of him obediently.

In the later generations, Dimore has always appeared in the image of a majestic and fearsome emperor. To some extent, in order to resist the invasion of the abyss, his behavior is no different from that of a tyrant. Now I see him in front of Nostradamus. It is indeed rare that you can only bow your head and be scolded without answering a word.

And almost after reprimanding Dimoore, the archmage turned his head and looked at Joshua. He originally wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed and said with emotion: "When I first saw you, you were Discuss with Brandon...Joshua, do you like fighting so much?"

"It's okay to fight every day, how fun."

Holding the shoulders of Ying and Rin on the left and right, Joshua replied seriously, but then he quickly shook his head: "However, this is not a battle, it is barely a competition, which is the level of play... I believe you It can be seen that it is indeed the case."

Hearing Joshua’s words, Nostradamus frowned and observed. There was light flashing in his eyes, as if some probing spell was solidified. After a few seconds, the old mage’s pupils widened, and light blue waves of light flowed inside. , He murmured in shock: "You actually broke the limit and reached an unmeasurable field!"

In his eyes, Qiao Xiu Yahun exchanged energy with the magic power in the atmosphere all the time, like a towering tree, constantly absorbing the power that is good for him, and expelling the energy that is useless to him, in that strong body. , The blood rushes like the Yangtze River, rumbling.

If only this is the case, it can only show that the opponent's physical fitness is strong, and the breathing method has penetrated into the bone marrow instinct, but the slow, but not attenuated, almost endless increase in physical strength is what shocked Nostradamus the most.

"The ultimate meaning of strength!?"

Incredible!

Shocked Joshua’s breakthrough speed. In such a short period of time, he was at the same level as himself. The old mage quickly made up a series of plots. For example, the two weeks of Joshua’s disappearance, maybe. It just happened to feel that my breakthrough was imminent, so I simply closed off all communication with the outside world.

It’s no wonder that the celebration does not participate, and no one calls. This is indeed normal. No one wants to be disturbed by others when breaking through. No matter how big the celebration is, it’s not as important as entering the sacred path... But, and the stone To be right, shouldn't it really be a breakthrough in the earth elemental realm, right?

"If you have time, of course you can congratulate you, and I will be very happy to accept it."

Shaking his head and stopping the old mage’s congratulations, Joshua’s calm expression became serious: "But now, it’s time to talk about business...I came from the north specially, you wouldn’t think it was just to simply see you. , Show your strength, right?"

"Of course not... just right, there is no one here, and it's okay to say it here."

On the side, Dimoore, who had been reprimanded for a long time, was still immersed in Joshua’s extreme shock now. Hearing this, he subconsciously squinted his eyes and prepared to turn and leave, but Nostradamus raised his hand. Stopped him, shook his head, and said in a relaxed tone: "Stay, you are the heir of this country. You should know something."

Oh? Qiao Xiu looked at the actions of the two with interest, and he was thinking: (So it's confirmed at this time?)

So why did the later generation of Israel suddenly die without leaving any will? If you really don't plan to make the grand prince the heir, then you should pave the way for Di Moore now.

Joshua vaguely guessed a possibility, but now is not the time to think about it, he and the serious old mage looked at each other, and then said about the church of St. Laurent and the plague of those cultists.

Nostradamus had an extremely serious expression. Although Di Moore was listening, his face was always an incredible expression. In contrast, the old mage showed complete trust. After he listened, he said solemnly: "So, do you have a sample of this plague? If there is a template, we can go to the Royal Mage Association for an experiment now."

"Of course not. I don’t want to carry that kind of dangerous thing with me. Otherwise, I will be besieged by hundreds of guards when I walk into the palace... But if you want to see, you can go to the dungeon of St. Laurent’s Church. I will take it. It is completely sealed underground... Well, I seem to have accidentally locked it with more than a dozen cultists. It is probably multiplying now, and it shouldn't have died so soon."

After listening to Joshua’s words, Nostradamus didn’t care about the life and death of any cultists. He just wanted to see what the plague was like right away, but when he was about to set off, the old mage suddenly remembered. One thing, he nodded and said: "Yes, I have to notify Israel first, regardless of whether the plague is true or not, it is indeed time to clean up the cultists on a large scale."

Even if there are no samples, do you still believe in Joshua like this?

It was the first time that Di Moore saw that a person had such a great degree of integrity, just a few words without a word, and Nostradamus, who had always paid attention to evidence, directly believed it in this way.

You know, this is a country and a major event related to the plague!

But even the second prince himself had to admit that even he would not believe that people like Joshua would lie. The warrior was right, his fists were more reliable than words. How could a person with that kind of power lie? Cruel to say false words?

As everyone left the Black Swan Palace and headed towards the center of the main hall, Nostradamus had been asking for details about the plague. He knew Joshua’s identity and the power of the Azure Orb, as the warriors said. , Then this must be the correct conspiracy of the Heretic God. According to the appearance of the Far Southern Kingdom being tossed by the Dragon Calamity and the Crazy Dragon Disease, no one will be careless at this juncture, even if it is accidents and coincidences, they must be vigilant.

"The Northern Empire is huge, occupying the northern part of the entire continent. Although it seems that they are all unified under the leadership of the Emperor, the autonomy in each territory is also great."

In the corridors of the palace, Nostradamus walked hurriedly. He shook his head and sighed. He seemed to be exhausted and said: "The great nobles everywhere have special laws in their territories. If the central royal family is not strong enough, they will not I will obey you, people are still so, let alone dwarves, winter elves, goblins and gnomes and other races... I mean, if the plague broke out in some noble realms, or other races, and they If we conceal it without reporting it, we can't find out the first time."

"Then you have to choke everything to the source, or let those lords know the danger, otherwise the plague will spread, then there will be no way to stop it."

Joshua and Nostradamus have the same pace. Behind him, Ying and Rin need to run all the way to keep up: "Even the cultists have sneaked into my territory, such marginal places, and want to come to other territories. , Even more serious."

——No, this is the only point I want to say, you must be a special case! Your reputation has long been spread among cultists!

Shaking his head slightly, Nostradamus thought to himself in his heart, but he didn't say it, but just responded: "His Majesty Israel is discussing with several envoys in the hall. I will go directly to see him. If the envoys are all present, then Even better, this news must spread out as soon as possible."

"It's also a coincidence."

Joshua touched his chin, and he thoughtfully said: "The four major human gathering areas, even the church members, happened to be in the imperial capital recently. This is a lot easier."

Among the four major human gathering areas on the Mykrov Continent, the Northern Empire is the most special. It is the only large-scale unified government. Although it is not a unified government, it can also gather the power of the whole country under the leadership of a powerful emperor. There has been a war for many years with the orcs in the Northwest Plain, but due to the orcs’ restraint, the Northern Empire rarely communicated with the outside world. The war between the two prevented the two sides from expanding outward. The empire did not have time to open up the Black Forest, and the orcs did not have time to expand. The spread of foreign invasion.

The topography of the northern gathering area is special. The central part is vast plains and hills, while the southern and northern borders are all stretched mountains, interconnecting the Central Black Forest and the Arctic Icefield, and to the west is the Tartarus Plateau where the orcs live, and beyond Even the sea, the same is true in the east, leading directly to the endless ocean.

The western gathering area is one of the oldest origins of human supernatural abilities. There are countless kingdoms here, ruled by families with long bloodlines. Most of their rulers have natural and special powers. In other words, here It is a kingdom ruled by warlocks.

The western gathering area is fairly peaceful, and the racial policy is extremely broad. Except for the demons, any race, even the undead, can be seen here, and the struggle between many kingdoms is basically limited to the intrigue of high-level warlock families, but due to the strength of the rule The reason is not enough. The western gathering area is also a cult. The most prosperous area of ​​demonic sacrifices. In history, several large-scale living sacrifices have occurred in the western gathering area. This place is mountainous, and the kingdoms are divided by natural rivers and mountains. The reason why wars rarely happen is that the logistics pressure is too great.

He chained the central Black Forest to the east, and the other three sides were surrounded by the sea. Legend has it that the strait where the ancient dragon inhabits is on its northern coast.

The eastern plain has almost no continuous mountains, only a few lonely peaks and a few hills. It is composed of grasslands divided by rivers and forests. This is the last suitable place for humans to discover. To come here, you must pass through A section of the Black Forest.

In the beginning, a few wizards took the lead to live here, and it was no problem for powerful spellcasters to pass through the Black Forest. They settled here and brought some ordinary people to serve them. In this way, the earliest gathering place was born. , And then with the passage of time, the number of people also increased, coupled with a wave of immigration, on the eastern plain, many city states and kingdoms headed by wizards appeared.

Here, the kingdom is just a tool used by the various spellcaster forces to rule. The two large mage organizations, the Guantian White Pagoda and the Seven Luminaries Council, rule nearly 70% of the kingdoms and city states here, and the battles between the wizards are basically not involved. To civilians, there are still wars between the various city-states and kingdoms. Coupled with the battles of the Mermaid tribe in the East China Sea, the humans on the plains are still brave and good. The winged cavalry of the Principality of France and the sea dragon knights of the coastal city have always been famous throughout the entire Between the continents.

But the Eastern Plains is also the place with the strictest racial policy. Except for the big races such as dwarves and elves, alien races other than humans will all be discriminated against, but the constructed life is not included in this list. They are created by the wizard as long as they have normal intelligence. All the rights you can get.

The Far South Gathering Area is also a very special place, not to mention its lush and jungle terrain, but a cultural atmosphere.

If the Northern Empire recognizes dwarves, halflings, dwarves, goblins and other creatures as citizens of the Empire, and many western kingdoms believe that as long as they obey the law, race is not important, this policy can be regarded as broad and benevolent, then the Far Southern Kingdom does not exist. The word alien. At the beginning, in the Far South Kingdom, where elves, humans and elves were built together, giant insects, tree people, deer people and other alien races lived. They all had the right to vote and participate in politics. In the deep mountains near the Lake of Eternity, even Inhabited by hundreds of lawful dragons, these behemoths sleep most of the time, but some like to act in the human world, and even transform into human form, becoming the lord of the same place.

Perhaps because of this unfettered environment, the art atmosphere of the Far South Kingdom is the strongest. Many well-known musicians, writers, and bards come from the Far South. They are willing to explore and take risks. There are thousands of islands in the Far South. The discovery is due to these people who like to do everything. The Druids of the Far South even mastered a method to convert the Black Forest into an ordinary jungle, but the speed is too slow and has no practical value.

Joshua vaguely remembered that, apart from the Far South Kingdom, which is now being invaded by the mad dragon, the Warlock Kingdom in the western mountainous area was the most severely affected by the plague. The eastern plain and the empire were both okay. One was because of strict management and the other was because of distance. And weather.

After all, black blood disease broke out in winter, and its large-scale spread was already in the summer of the same year. When it spread to the Northern Empire, the winter there began early, and when the winter was over, the countermeasures had almost come out.

However, even so, the death toll is in the tens of thousands on the southern border of the empire. This is just a statistical figure. The actual death toll is definitely more. Although Joshua is not a good person, he can save tens of thousands of people in one sentence. Why not do it? What's more, the actions of the cultists today have obviously changed from their previous lives, and it cannot be said that the plague must have erupted in the Far South.

Under the leadership of Nostradamus, everyone has arrived at the central hall of Morlai Palace. There are countless guards circling back and forth, and many others are waiting quietly on the side of the corridor. It can be seen that these are big Nobles or servants of missions or ordinary people who are not qualified to enter the hall.

But now it seems to be over. The main hall door opened, and a pair of people came out together. Their complexion was not very good, some worried and angry. The only one with a good-looking complexion was a tall and strong silver-haired man in a white robe. The middle-aged man, although his brows are frowning and his face is sad, he can see that he just grows like this.

His strength is very strong, and the power of the holy light ripples in his body like the sea. Joshua senses that the opponent has the ultimate strength. Looking at this costume, he is undoubtedly the sacred mountain of the distant sea [Freedom Hammer] Robzek, the commander of the Knight Order, the powerful paladin passed by Joshua and his party, he gave a hum, and then he turned his head to look at Joshua.

Qiao Xiuya also turned to look at him naturally, and the two looked at each other.

"Have you seen that kid Loranda recently? No, looking at this breath, you seem to be together often."

The middle-aged man with silver hair and black eyes seemed to be in a good mood, and said heartily: "Tell him, don't be awkward, there is always sacrifice in battle, don't give up all friends just because you lose a friend, the temple will always be his home , We will not blame him, let him come back as soon as possible."

It seemed to be Loranda’s acquaintance~www.novelmtl.com~ Qiao Xiu suddenly realized why the blindfolded woman he had seen before gave him a familiar feeling, because the other party was the same as Robzek. , Is Loranda's acquaintance, they all have the familiar taste of the Holy Light, and they seem to fight together often.

"I will tell him, but it's a pity that he didn't come to the imperial capital with me this time, otherwise you will be able to see him."

"Don't worry..." This extremely Italian knight narrowed his eyes, looked at Qiaoxi, then shook his head, and turned around: "The young people nowadays are more than a monster. Hey, I am really old."

He clearly saw the strength of Joshua-although this was because the warrior had not deliberately concealed it.

Nostradamus looked at this scene with the same expression. He already knew the identity of the paladin in the warrior territory, so it is not surprising that the old mage waited for the opponent to go away, then turned his head to Joshua and Di Moore whispered, "I'll go in first and inform His Majesty the Emperor."

"At that time, you may need to come in and say it yourself."
