Soul of Burning Steel

Above the gloomy sky, the sharp sirens of the floating battleship gradually ceased due to the end of the battle. Now, you can only hear the buzzing caused by the full operation of the mana furnace reverberating between heavy rain and squally wind, and seeing the flashing searchlights among the clouds. Shot back and forth in the middle.

The black dragon was wounded and retreated, and the surrounding wild dragons all fled with the leader. They threw down the flying ash and wreckage, and hurriedly flew into the cumulus cloud to avoid the pursuit of human beings, regardless of whether they entered. Is that piece of cloud a rain cloud or a thunder cloud?

In the floating battleship Gale, the service personnel responsible for repairing the magic equipment hurriedly shuttled back and forth in the central area of ​​the battleship. Although this battle was not the first battle of the floating battleship, it was the first time to face so many flying dragons. The heart of the second furnace is running at full capacity, and with such precious combat data, they need to collect the data as soon as possible and then send it to the empire.

In the command room, the Captain of the Gale, a middle-aged man with white temples, sat on his large chair, listening to the reports of the surrounding personnel with a gloomy face-roughly the number of mad dragons killed in this battle. How much energy is consumed, whether the remaining supply is sufficient, how far is it from the sacred mountain in the distant sea-and so on, these are roughly the problems.

Originally, these were all great news. In the past, the captain would definitely be excited, but now, he is not at all interested. He sees a subordinate who is still talking nonsense, the middle-aged captain. In an indifferent tone: "I don't want to listen to these useless bullshit-where is Lord Earl now?"

His mood is indeed a little bad. First of all, because of the appearance of [Dead Smoke] Granti, he almost killed them all inside the battleship silently. The powerful negative energy cloud can completely bypass the hard armor. All kinds of gaps, even directly crossing the space to erode their vitality bit by bit-the floating air battleship is indeed a big killer in the face of the existence of the gold class and below, but it is a big killer in the face of the strong intention of the level. However, it may not be much better than a steel coffin.

As a human being, no one will be happy about their fragility and powerlessness.

Noting the captain’s current mood, the staff member who was observing the detection circle immediately replied: "The Lord Earl has returned to the deck two minutes ago and has now arrived in his room."

"...Then, continue towards the direction of the holy mountain." Taking a deep breath, the middle-aged captain looked at the holy radiance that was gradually shining in the distant sky, and whispered to the surrounding staff: "They have already Come to meet us, get ready."

"Yes!"

On the other side of the Gale, Joshua’s room.

Accompanied by slightly rapid footsteps, the door of the room was roughly opened, and as a serious-faced soldier entered, this spacious bedroom filled with a solemn atmosphere.

The huge Steel Element No.1 stood at the door and did not come in due to a size problem, while Hei, who was resting in the dormitory, raised his head in confusion and looked at his master whose emotions were obviously wrong.

——What's the accident in the battle just now?

Half-long guessed like this in his heart, but it immediately rejected this conjecture by itself, which was completely impossible.

It’s nothing more than a few flying dragons. If it’s not for the fear of heights, plus the thin fire element in the sky, it alone can ensure the safety of the floating warship. You know, it is from the world of Ilgna and the stone demon. The existences that have been killed all the way on the battlefield, although the group of crazy dragons looks imposing, how can they compare with the overwhelming Chaos army in terms of number?

Regardless of half-long's doubtful thinking there, Qiao Xiuya's right hand, the silver-white sword that was held tightly, lit up with magical brilliance, and accompanied by the surging wave of elements, a panicked silver-haired girl appeared like this. In front of the soldiers.

After transforming into a human form, Hotaru hurriedly caught the black giant axe from the warrior's hand. Without hesitation, she reached out to touch the axe blade, and then whispered softly, "It's hot - it's hot!"

In just an instant, the white palms of the silver-haired girl became extremely red. The psionic body as the incarnation of magic power meant that the temperature on the blade of the axe was higher than expected. Thinking of this, Hotaru didn’t know what to say, just Can look at his master with worried eyes.

"...I can't transform into a human form yet, the situation is a bit serious."

After being silent for a while, Joshua stared at the **** axe in the girl's hand, and said solemnly, "I'll try it first."

After speaking, he stretched out his hand and pressed it to the face of the giant axe, which was still extremely hot.

The main body of the divine machine is this weapon, the firefly is a silver-white giant sword, and Rin is this black giant axe. Their two human forms are just made to facilitate communication and travel together. The body that came out, after all, a huge sword and axe tall was a bit difficult to carry, but two humans could walk together.

As a weapon specially created for the families of the evil gods of famine, the divine machine is more robust than most equipment in this world. Although it has no special ability, it is just enough to cut steel and iron, which is indestructible. They can be called magic soldiers, and they all have self-awareness, and they can amplify the power of a master with a bloodline contract. Even a legendary magic soldier may not be able to beat them.

But this degree of sturdiness also has its limits.

"It's okay... It's okay."

Using her own grudge, carefully exploring the interior of the black giant axe, Joshua tried to communicate with Lin's spiritual world, and said with a sigh of relief: "It's just a little overburdened, and Lin can't bear it, and fainted. ."

The structure of the black magic machine has not been destroyed. Although the axe face is full of the remnants of his vindictiveness, which brings extremely high heat, it has not reached the real upper limit of the magic machine.

"Although the heat on the surface of the axe is a bit extraordinary, it is still within the tolerance of the magic machine. It's just that my method of infusing vindictive energy during the battle is too rough, and I forgot to take care of my feelings."

Retelling his conclusion to Yingying, the warrior's face couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and helpless, and a ridiculous sense of joy appeared in his heart.

——The magic machine was stunned by his power.

You know, the Patriarch of the Radcliffe family in the past, they have the magic machine, how much ability they can use the bleeding contract, it depends on their talents, can withstand a magic machine and use it to fight freely, it is considered. The above is excellent talent, just like his old daddy Belouo de Radcliffe, who died early, can be famous in the imperial capital just by being able to easily use the magic machine incarnate by the old butler "Fan". His Majesty the Emperor also remembered deeply.

But when it was his turn, he could use two of them alone, which was extremely easy, and even overwhelmed the divine machine in turn.

This is of course a reason that the Radcliffe family has never seen an extreme level powerhouse in the past, so the design has not taken into account, but it is also sufficient to illustrate the special and powerful nature of Joshua.

"The dignified breath just now suddenly disappeared after the battle, which really shocked me."

Since it was determined that the black-haired boy had just fainted, Joshua’s expression returned to normal. He sat on the chair in his dormitory and sat on the side of the bed. Firefly shook his head and said, "I I thought there was an accident, and there was no pursuit, so Granty escaped easily."

At this point, Joshua’s tone turned cold and stern, and he showed a smiling face: "I remember its breath."

Obviously, the warrior has completely transferred the depression caused by fear of fear during this period of time to Granty. In his heart, the **** black dragon has completely become a corpse, and is about to face the pain of cramping and peeling. .

"Hmm... I see, Master."

On the side, Hotaru was holding Rin’s body absent-mindedly. After hearing Joshua’s words, the silver-haired girl was indeed relieved. Since her brother is fine, the problem is not big, but even so, her mood But she couldn't cheer up, even if it was the long-lost incident of fighting with the master, there was no way to make the girl happy.

Hei slowly approached the sullen silver-haired girl. He thought for a while, then stretched out his tongue and licked Hotaru's face, but the girl didn't react at first, until the half-long licked a second time, the expression slowly Turned from depressed to angry to angry: "Black! How many times have you said it, don't lick me!"

Hotaru usually has a little cleanliness, if you say that she loves cleaning very much, she just doesn't like other foreign objects on her body, let alone moist things like saliva, so every time she licks her in the dark, the girl will be very angry. , And half-long has not changed after repeated teaching, seeming to bully Miss Shenji as a daily pleasure.

But now, it was Hei who was deliberately doing it to make Ying's mood a little more exciting.

"..." Joshua touched his chin. Although he was still a little heavy in his heart, he still laughed silently as he watched this scene.

Hei’s wisdom has become higher and higher. It is not so much that he is close to people. It is better to think that he is the same as human beings. He has joys, sorrows and joys. He will try to inspire his friends and help them out of difficulties. Because it is limited by its size, it can't interact with everyone.

It is not enough to just change the shape of the pendant. Perhaps the half-dragon needs some more precious treasures or magic to integrate into Joshua's life.

But when he watched Hei and Hotaru arguing on the bedside, the soldier's complexion suddenly condensed. He blinked, scanned the surroundings, and then left his bedroom silently and walked to the outer corridor.

The Steel Element No.1, who was waiting at the door, saw his master's figure, and immediately responded with a squishy response, and Qiao Xiu nodded slightly to it, signalling for silence, and then raised his right hand, the fluctuations of vindictiveness spread, and this All detection circles in a corridor are fully suppressed.

At the same time, a little light condenses from the void to form a simple and sacred rune. Then, with this rune as the center, the infinite holy light spreads, and then turns into a hazy light human form.

The human face quickly solidified, and a gray-haired old man with golden eyes appeared in front of the warrior. He looked at Joshua in front of him, then nodded slightly, and said softly: "Joshua · Van Radcliffe."

"Hello there."

"Hello, under the crown of the Pope."

To pay tribute to this kind-looking old man simply and neatly, Joshua did not think of nonsense and greetings, but asked directly: "Why are you here? I will arrive at the holy mountain soon. I will meet you at that time. Just fine, why use the avatar of the Holy Light to come secretly now, and also need me to block the sight of my surroundings."

In the room just now, the soldier received a call from the Pope. He said that he had something to communicate with Joshua and avoid other people as much as possible.

Although it was strange, Joshua had no reason to refuse, but he needed an explanation.

"Young man, the progress of your strength is beyond my imagination."

But Pope Eagle did not immediately answer the soldier’s question. He first looked at Joshua’s body, and then nodded with a smile of relief: "Holding the authority of the sage and doing the righteous cause, your path is indeed It should be a smooth road, but even so, the speed is a bit faster than I imagined."

At this time, the incarnation of the old pope, compared to what Joshua had seen in the North, is many times more condensed, or if he hadn’t seen the opponent’s body made up of light bit by bit, just by appearance, the warrior It is completely impossible to distinguish the difference between the person in front of him and the real person.

Joshua shrugged at Pope Igor’s feelings and did not answer. The reason why his strength became stronger so quickly was firstly because of the system, and secondly because of his hard work every day. After all, this is true. There are no endless copies and wild monsters in the world. If it weren't for the chaotic army in the world of Karlis and Ilgna, Joshua's strength would not have progressed so fast.

At this time, the old pope also began to answer the soldiers' questions: "Israel has greeted all the forces you have traveled along the way, otherwise this cutting-edge floating warship will not be able to pass through the airspace of various countries so easily. As early as when you arrived in the Far South, the Naka Fortress had notified the temple, and before you and the mad dragon, the archbishops and I had already discovered your traces."

Joshua fully believes this. After all, this is around the holy mountain, and it is impossible for a floating warship of this size to be undetected. The reason why they did not respond in advance was probably because they wanted to see how powerful the Gale was.

Seeing Pope Iger's expression, he seemed very satisfied.

"This warship may not be able to withstand the Jiyi-class dragon lords and legendary dragons, but it can well suppress the endless army of crazy dragons. It is indeed a weapon during war."

For the support of the empire, the old pope first expressed his gratitude for the official manner, and then said in a calm tone: "Joshua, the reason I want you to block the sight of the surroundings is because the next thing Others know."

"What did you name and invite me to come and help?"

Nodding slightly, Joshua was already mentally prepared, and he said solemnly: "Although I can speak bluntly, under the crown of the Pope, since I have come, I will be able to keep my promise and help you complete it-I am going to go. Sniping the force of the mad dragon and beheading their leader?"

"No." After hearing the warrior's words, the old pope shook his head slightly: "We and your floating warship are enough to hold on to the holy mountain, as long as it can ensure that the mad dragon cannot break through the magic circle. It doesn't really matter how many people want to block."

"Are you sure?" Qiao Xiuya raised his eyebrows slightly, and he said in surprise: "I really don't need me? Although I am a little young, I can guarantee that as an extremely strong person, my strength is absolutely qualified. With my joining, the defense of the holy mountain must be as solid as gold."

"I believe in you, Joshua." He replied in an unusually convincing tone. Pope Igor seemed to have more confidence in the fighters than he himself: "You can repel [Dead Smoke] Granti head-on, which is enough to prove you. At the first level of Ji Yi's strength, it can be regarded as powerful. You alone can stop a mad dragon's legion. This is something that Mu Yong questioned."

"However, it is because of belief that there are more important tasks to be entrusted to you."

Speaking of this, Iger's words paused slightly, and he said in a low voice: "With me facing the legendary dragons on the sacred mountain, then the Great Temple of the Church of the Seven Gods will not be lost, but Arnold On the side of Sizhiyuan, I have an extremely bad premonition."

The old pope finally said his purpose. His golden eyes flashed with sacred brilliance, as if he could shine through the fog of history and glimpse a corner of the future. With a solemn tone, Igel addressed the same serious Joshua. The narration said: "There is a crack in the abyss, and the five-color dragons have obviously made a deal with the plague evil **** and the abyss. I am worried that they will try to use that gap as the origin to temporarily open the door of the abyss and send their reinforcements in the abyss. come out!"

Having said that, his foresight does not seem to be over yet. The old Pope narrowed his eyes slightly and continued to solemnly said: "Moreover, I seem to be able to see that in a few decades, it will become one of the sources of disasters in this world. , If you don’t pull it out now, it will become a malignant tumor that has been lodged in Mycroft’s world and will be a disaster for thousands of years."

"...Not bad."

Slowly nodded, after listening to Pope Igor’s guess, Joshua decisively approved: "It is true."

He agreed so easily, precisely because the development of the previous life was the same as the old pope had guessed-the Abyss of Anos became the most terrifying eye of the abyss among the three gates of the next generation, probably because of the dragon During the disaster period, what did the fallen five-color dragons do there, otherwise an ordinary crack in time and space would never develop to that point.

"So, under the crown of the Pope, do you want me to go to the Abyss of Anos, find the rift in the abyss, and then destroy it?"

Speaking in a calm tone, Joshua clenched his fists and assured him without hesitation: "No problem."

He doesn't need to make any thrilling oaths, because the words of the soldiers are promises, and once the promises are said, they will be fulfilled.

"Yes, but you are not alone."

Nodding slightly, Eagle smiled slightly: "Through the oracle of the seven gods, I probably know the location of the chasm in the abyss. It is located in the deepest vortex in the abyss of Anos. It may go deep into the bottom of the sea. You may not be able to find it by yourself. Come, so Captain Robzek, Knight Loranda, Sister Saya, and other powerful men I invited will join you in searching for the abyss. As the strongest people among them, you and Robzek are the leaders. Or they will obey your instructions."

Having said this, the old pope moved his gaze away from Joshua. He looked at the silent Steel Element No.1, a strange light flashed in his eyes, but then he noticed the situation in the room, and then The brows were raised slightly.

"Joshua, there seems to be something wrong with your weapon."

Eagle said softly, with a trace of concern in his tone: "Need help?"

In exchange, he naturally knew the meaning of the divine machine to the contractor, that was the closest relatives and partners. He was a little worried that this might have some bad effects on Joshua’s state: "If you are willing to believe in the church’s Technology, you can temporarily hand him over to me for treatment."

The Pope said wittily: "In the name of Holy Light, there is absolutely no sequelae."

"...Thanks a lot."

The soldier thanked Eagle for his kindness, but he seriously shook his head and said: "No need... Actually, I have a better way."

At this point, the soldier was silent for a while, while the old pope waited quietly.

Afterwards, Qiao Xiya took a deep breath, frowned, and made a decision.

"If possible, I would like to ask you to do me a favor."

Joshua stared at the golden eyes of the old man in front of him, and said sincerely in a very serious tone: "I hope you can take Hotaru and Rin to the holy mountain and strengthen them to the point where I can adapt to my strength-perhaps this is a bit abrupt. , But I hope you can take good care of them in the Holy Mountain."

"No, it's not abrupt. I understand your feelings." Igel shook his head slightly and waved his hand. He took a deep look at the soldier, and his expression was a little weird: "This is not troublesome. For the church, take care of both. Fame is not a big event, but Joshua..."

Speaking of this, the old pope’s tone is somewhat meaningful: "In this way, you will have no weapons — the power of the church can indeed strengthen your divine mechanism, but it will definitely not be in time for you to go to the Abyss of Anos, see With your expression, you don’t seem to intend to use the holy tools of the holy mountain to fight."

He said playfully: "——Without weapons, would you dare to go to the Abyss of Anos? There is an eternal storm zone, among whirlpools and huge waves, and even hundreds of meters of giant ocean beasts haunt this way. It's extremely difficult ~www.novelmtl.com~ Even if you are fully armed, you may not be able to reach the target easily, let alone with empty hands."

"Haha, under the crown of the Pope."

After hearing that Iger had agreed to his request, Joshua’s expression lightened a lot. For the old Pope’s question, he just smiled and said fearlessly: "It is precisely because of the difficulties and obstacles that I have I just want to go. In your opinion, even I find it difficult, so for others, isn't it more troublesome?"

"Destroy the front in Zhengrui, turn the tide in extreme danger-this is the reason why I stand here."

"and."

With a relieved expression on his face, the soldier clenched his fists, and a fierce cold light flashed in his eyes: "Occasionally, it is also a challenge and fun to use weapons."
