Soul of Burning Steel

"His Majesty?"

Nash saw that Israel hadn't spoken for a long time, and suddenly asked with some worry.

The opinions of this group of people in the church are too transgressive, making your Majesty angry?

This is indeed possible. In any case, Earl Radcliffe is a nobleman of the empire. Does the church say that he wants it? And even if you ask the Lord Earl to help, you have to send a few people, hand over formal paperwork, and issue a solemn invitation. This is considered respect.

The middle-aged samurai thought of this, and he couldn't help but nodded. Although such steps seem a bit cumbersome, the formal process of communication between the major forces is like this. It is impossible to want people in just one sentence.

"It's really interesting... and yes, Iger is not a fool."

On the side, Israel did not appear to be angry. He just tapped the seat guard rhythmically, nodding his head and thinking thoughtfully: "The church is now dealing with the dragon disaster. They borrowed from me. Going to the Pyx Stars should be to go deep into a certain area contaminated by chaos. Now, even the Pyx Stars are not enough to meet their requirements..."

Having said that, he did not continue.

The Pyxi Star collected by the Diamond Royal Family is indeed not a powerful treasure in terms of purification ability alone. After all, there are great differences between various positive energies. The Pyxi Star is similar to it. The positive energy of sunlight is used as an energy source. Naturally, it is the best choice, but no matter whether it is purification or healing power, it is not as good as the Holy Light.

And the Holy Light, in terms of pure purification, is also inferior to the ‘Power of Order’ left by the sages.

If the Sacred Mountain of the Far Sea is not to retain its strength and deal with the subsequent concentrated attack by the main force of the mad dragon, there is actually no need to ask the empire for help. But now, Israel believes that the church obviously encountered a big problem in that polluted area. Trouble, you can only pin your hopes on Joshua, who has the power of order.

As for why it’s not Brandon, the answer is simple. Not long ago, Robzek and Saya had seen Joshua make a shot and talked to each other. There was a little relationship, and the blond swordsman had already returned at that time. In the North, they had never seen it before and were not familiar with it.

People will naturally choose what they are familiar with and understand.

"This is not a bad thing."

Perceiving Nash’s somewhat worried expression on the side, Israel shook his head. He pondered for a while, and then said: "The strength of Secretary Radcliffe is recognized by the Church of the Seven Gods. This is a kind of glory. But even if I am an emperor, I cannot force a nobleman on the ground to stay away from his territory and go to the far south on the other side of the mainland."

"So, Nash, you tell Nostradamus about this, and he will tell it."

The emperor's majesty gave an order straightforwardly: "As for whether to agree to the church's invitation or not, it all depends on the mood of our northern count."

On the same day, Nissi Snow Mountain, Winterhold College.

Like an iceberg, four-fifths of the volume of Winterhold Academy is located within the mountain, and only one-fifth is exposed. There are two reasons for this construction. First, there is not enough space on the entire snow mountain. Building a college, secondly, is that the temperature in the mountain is much warmer than the outside world, and it is more suitable for human life.

At this time, in the deepest part of the academy, in the snow-capped mountains, on the big arena that was watched by everyone, a battle between apprentices had come to an end.

"You lost, Amira."

Kaifeng's sword was placed on the girl's weak shoulders, and the cold blade of the sword was close to the white neck, and the boy who was nominally her brother said in a calm tone: "This time I won."

"Well...you won this time, my brother."

Realizing that she was indeed unable to return to the sky, the girl sighed helplessly. She turned her head slightly, and she could see the silver sword light reflecting the faces of the two. After knowing that something could not be done, the girl named Amila simply put down the short bow she was about to draw and raised her hands to express surrender: "Congratulations-by the way, Ivan, when did you learn swordsmanship? "

This is indeed a question that puzzles her very much. You know, the girl always thought that her brother, just like herself, had learned some archery skills from her father who was a hunter. Who knew he could actually master swordsmanship? , It was unexpected.

"Teacher Theodore taught me."

Seeing that his sister had completely given up resistance, Ivan shrugged and retracted the long sword that was resting on the opponent's neck: "He said that as a mage, at least one has to learn the skill of close combat, otherwise sometimes Will fall into passivity."

"Anyway, I didn't expect that you would actually shoot a sword against your sister." Shaking her head, Amila said with some emotion: "You clearly said that you will protect me for the rest of my life!"

"My good sister."

And Ivan sneered, not to be outdone: "You didn't have much mercy when you put renju fireballs and lightning bolts on me."

"Humph."

After he finished speaking, the relaxed young man recovered his senses after putting the sword in its sheath. His whole body was wet with nervous sweat, especially his forehead, which was covered with dense drops of sweat.

Obviously, the battle with his sister was not easy, and this victory was only a narrow victory.

But anyway-I won.

Ivan muttered to himself softly in his heart.

——I defeated Amila.

——I won the final round of the comprehensive evaluation!

It wasn't until this time that the real sense of victory slowly appeared in Ivan's heart, which made the boy clenched his fists and almost let out an uncontrollable cheer.

Amila scored the first place in the written test, and he was fifth, but the young people are the first in the Wilderness Survival and the Arena, so his total score ranked first-lasted two weeks, since the winter Since the opening of the Fort Academy, the longest comprehensive evaluation finally ended with his victory by Ivan Makarov!

What a arduous two weeks, first two days of continuous full-disciplinary written examinations, and then a full six and a half days of survival in the wilderness. After three days of rest, it was a tense and breathless arena!

Ivan can still recall the six nights he spent alone in the Hoarfrost Forest. Through pre-planning, he defeated Frost Slime step by step, captured three Frost Butterflies, and successfully hunted. After getting a big wild boar, although many accidents happened midway, with good personal ability and perfect plan, he achieved the first good score in the wilderness survival points.

But who knows that in order to kill the Frost Slime, he spent most of the night playing hide-and-seek with the opponent, and finally relying on the restraint of the morning sun to kill the jelly, but with weird resistance to magic biological?

Not to mention the ice butterfly and the big wild boar. They are both very dangerous creatures. The damage ability is many times more terrible than the slime. If it weren't for the past life, Ivan knew their weaknesses and habits. It may not be able to treat these weak monsters.

However, the next stage match was relatively simple. Due to the lack of magic power, most students knew that they might not be able to release many spells on the stage, so they chose some of their usual weapons as support.

Ivan is no exception. He chose a cross sword as a weapon, and his sister Amila chose a bow and arrow as an auxiliary tool.

The battle on the ring is not hard. Although Ivan’s talent is not at the top of the academy, it is still a good one. In terms of reaction speed and actual combat ability, he is definitely among the best. With his careless attitude and good swordsmanship, He successfully defeated all his opponents and came to the final finals to play against his sister.

As the person with the strongest elemental affinity in the entire academy, Amila's progress in spells is indeed much better than that of her brother. Along the way, she defeated all other opponents with a crushing attitude, even Ivan is also very good. It was difficult to persevere, but Amila was only an apprentice after all, with few spells she could use, and Ivan was also the person who knew her best, so when the teenager supported her to run out of magic power, the situation began to reverse.

Outside the ring, the students were cheering for the winner, and all the instructors nodded and applauded. For them, this battle was just a trivial matter, but for the apprentices, it was wonderful. , The persistence and wisdom shown in it are also worthy of applause from their teachers.

In a daze, Ivan, the victor, was led by Theodore to an office on the top floor of the academy.

"Go ahead, open the door."

The brunette mage lowered his voice and said to the boy in an encouraging tone: "Due to some trivial things, Lord Lord does not show up in front of the apprentice very much. This time he will give you a special reward for the first place alone."

"……Yes!"

Hearing the words of his mentor, Ivan then broke away from the joy of victory. He looked at the door with the coat of arms of the sword in front of him, took a deep breath, calmed his emotions.

Then he opened the door.

The afternoon sun spilled from the skylight on the top floor, adding a little warmth to the environment full of cool colors. The dark brown iron and wood planks absorbed all the noise and made the whole room extremely quiet.

And a man in a black coat was sitting behind a wide desk, reading an ancient book full of historical sense, with a standard posture and serious expression. He seemed to be attracted by the information in the book and was thinking hard.

He has straight black hair and red eyes, and his resolute facial features seem to be carved from the hardest rock. Obviously, he is the honorary dean of this Winterhold Vocational College, the lord of Moldavia, Joe Xiu Ya van Radcliffe.

"Ivan Makarov."

Just when the teenager was a little overwhelmed, a low and clear male voice came from behind the desk. The black-haired man closed the book in his hand. He turned his head and said calmly: "You got the first place in the comprehensive evaluation. Good grades."

"Congratulations."

Ivan raised his head and looked at the place where the sound was made. This was the first time he had looked at Joshua so formally, so in an instant, his mind suffered a terrible shock.

As if all colors and light disappeared in an instant, the whole world fell into the boundless darkness. In the darkness, there was no sense of touch, smell or direction, and even the passing of time could not be felt. There was only a sound as if from far away. The battle roar from the sky surrounded my ears, deafening.

At this moment, the boy felt his legs soft. He almost knelt on the ground. Thanks to the support of the door handle on his side, he didn't fall down. Leaning against the door, Ivan covered his ears with a pale face, and panted heavily.

"The dragon's...Long Wei..."

He whispered to himself: "It's terrible... I feel like I'll be eaten right away. This is Long Wei..."

When I was speaking, Ivan's voice and body were trembling, but as if there was a belief in his heart, the boy gritted his teeth and gradually broke away from the sincere fear.

fear?

How can this work!

His goal is to become the strongest dragon slayer in this world!

In order to take revenge, in order to be able to pay the blood debts, he has been working so hard, is he going to succumb to Longwei now? Give in to the coercion that all dragons and beasts have?

joke!

Even if he is dead, he will never shrink from fear!

Wanting to do so, he slowly straightened his back, even though his body was still trembling slightly because of fear, but he still stood upright at the gate, his expression gradually becoming firm.

"really not bad."

Looking at Ivan’s performance with some surprises, Joshua’s eyes flashed a little, he meant to pun the boy and said: "You passed the test."

Because of his horrible negative charm, Joshua cannot appear in front of most of the college students, unless he wants to see all the students in a coma, so the soldier specifically asked Theodore to bring the person with the first total points. Go to his office, and he will award the prize individually.

The first is to take care of other students, and the second is to allow the future owner of the dragon to experience a simulated Longwei test.

In any case, this is a dragon, even a young dragon, it is also a very dangerous existence. Not only can the timid person not be able to take care of it, but will be injured by it, so that the future dragon riding mage learns to adapt to the dragon. Wei is not a bad thing.

And the facts proved that Ivan was better than he had imagined. It took only ten seconds to break away from the extreme fear of convenience brought about by coercion and wake up. This proves that the next time he meets Long Wei, he may be a teenager. Will not be afraid.

"come."

Said with a slight smile, Joshua took out an exquisite silver metal box from the side, with dense magic lines drawn on the outer layer: "This is your reward."

Ivan took a deep breath, looked at the idol he admired in front of him, and then slowly walked to the desk, and the soldier handed him the silver box.

"Thank you... Thank you Lord Lord."

"You can tell, you already know what's inside."

Qiao Xiuya looked at a loss. He didn't know what to say about a good boy, nodded slightly, and encouraged: "This is what you deserve, and you don't need to be afraid of it."

"This dragon egg..."

Suddenly, the soldier stopped talking. He turned his head and looked at his gate, where the strange temporal and spatial fluctuations were spreading.

Then, there was a very regular knock on the door.

"Come in, Master Nostradamus."

He greeted: "The door is unlocked."

After that, Joshua turned his head to look at the young man with platinum hair. He shrugged and said helplessly: "Well, little guy, because of an accident, this award is temporarily over-if you reward you If you have any doubts, you can ask Mentor Theodore more. He is an expert in this area."

"Now, you go back first, take part in the banquet prepared by the academy for you, and accept your friends’ congratulations~www.novelmtl.com~ As soon as the words are finished, the door of the office is opened, and a man in a gray robe The white-haired old man walked slowly, and the old mage saw Ivan who was about to leave and showed a kind smile. He nodded in appreciation and said, "Good boy, what a good job. "

While talking, he took out a small box made of red-shirted wood from his arms and handed it to the boy who was still at a loss: "Joshua has given you a gift, and I can't be left behind... This one is for you too."

"Thanks...Thank you Dean!"

Even if he was shocked by a series of events, Ivan would never forget who the person in front of him was. That was the real dean of this academy and one of the strongest mages in the empire, Master Nostradamus!

In just a few minutes, I met two big people who I didn't usually see. The young man's mind was a little confused. He walked towards the door as if sleepwalking and was about to leave.

And just before leaving this office, the teenager with two small boxes in his hands seemed to hear a word.

"Joshua, Your Majesty the Emperor has one thing to tell you."
