Soul of Burning Steel

Because of the restless spirit of nature, the storm in the Abyss of Anos never ceases.

The cyan thunder flies in the gloomy cumulus clouds, and the electric light that contains pure magic is full of destructive power. The breath from the abyss affects the magic of wind and water, making them more and more manic.

But in the year of the starfall 833, July 10, this day, although the sky and the sun were still obscured by gray rain clouds, it was a rare day without rain in the Abyss of Anos, even the roaring wind all day long. At this time, he restrained his anger and calmed the sea that had been turbulent in the past.

However, everyone knows that this is nothing more than the calm before the arrival of a greater storm.

Above the black sea, a pure white ark drove unhurriedly. It has no sails or oars, but it carries a huge air current around it, causing the sea to roll up waves and take it forward. And circles of golden waves like sunshine spread out from the ark, purifying the unclean breath in the surrounding black sea.

The Church of the Seven Gods, Ark [Time].

The huge ship built by this church is the same as their own, showing a low-key and simple atmosphere everywhere. It is not pure white, without any fancy appearance. Inside this huge ship of nearly 200 meters, no matter what Is it the corridor, the room or the wall, there are no extra decorations, at most the words of some saints are inscribed to alert the crew's words and deeds.

But inside the Ark, a hall with an unusually elegant layout is different from other places.

This is an interior hall with a curved vault. The luminous lines of holy silver form a rune-like pattern on the surrounding walls. Crystals that are crystal clear and emit light are suspended on the dome. Above, it is placed in accordance with the runes, as if it is the hub of the magic circle.

In addition to these silver rune lines, there are also many exquisite reliefs painted on the walls. These reliefs use a simple method to depict the scenes that are passed down. At the beginning, the seven gods lead mankind, and the black forest and other Races fight against natural disasters, and then, many heroes and sages gradually appeared in human beings, who replaced the seven gods who gradually let go to lead their race to make continuous progress.

Take a closer look. For more than eight hundred years of the star pendant calendar, almost all heroes and sages representing the progress of civilization can be found in these reliefs. Even the most recent Master Guantian White Tower who set off the development of magic power technology is impressive. Being in it, juxtaposed with the ancient heroes.

There was no one in this hall. Except for the occasional flashing of the holy silver lines, the hall was silent, but suddenly, all the light disappeared and everything fell into darkness. This movement was obviously affected by some people outside the hall. Perceived, with a few shouts, several powerful auras quickly rushed from other areas of the ark.

But this change did not last long. A few seconds later, a strange and sacred light appeared at the center of the arc-shaped dome of the hall. This light was produced out of thin air without any source. At the beginning, the holy purifying power was released, and countless star-like light spots were released from it, exuding the waves of time and space being pulled.

Over the abyss of Anos, thick clouds were surging endlessly, but a silver star lit up, and it fell quickly, breaking through the haze, and then turned into a white light, right on the white ark that was sailing.

At the same time, in the hall, the sacred passive halo slowly dimmed, and three tall human figures walked out of the space-time passage opened by the light.

Two of these three voices are humanoids and the other is the appearance of a war horse. The humanoid headed by the humanoid nodded thoughtfully when looking at the light spots that were about to extinguish, "Because the Abyss of Anos was destroyed by the abyss. The breath is polluted and the time and space are fragile, so ordinary teleportation spells cannot be used. Can you only use the time and space magic spells drawn by the holy light? It is similar to the situation in the Northland."

These three figures are exactly the first issue of Joshua, Black and Steel Element.

At this time, Qiao Xiuya was wearing a simple black light armor, without any spell inscriptions or enchantments on it, just a set of relatively sturdy ordinary equipment, and the black was almost the same, except for a silver pendant hanging on the neck of the half dragon. Nor does it have any saddles on it.

On the contrary, it was the first one, with densely packed rune armor pieces on its body, and several smooth steel plates around its body, but it looked similar to the magic armor that Joshua tried to wear before.

This is an experiment that the warrior had made on the Gale before. Although the mana armor that the old dwarf cast for him was perfect, it could not improve his combat effectiveness too much for the Extremely Intent Grade.

It was useless, but it was a pity to leave it unused. So after the appearance of the steel element, Joshua split the core part of the magic armor that he carried with him, and let No.1 split the energy furnace core and the outer rune armor pieces. Merge into it.

I have to, the strength of the steel element is indeed unique. After fusing the warrior’s magic armor, the strength of the first number has been greatly increased, and it has reached the silver high level. It is pure physical strength, and the general gold level is strong. If you don't use your fighting spirit with all your strength, you may not be able to defeat it.

However, its words are still ‘zizizi’, which is the only flaw.

"This is the Abyss of Anos. You are now in the Ark of the Church, in the core hall of the Time, and someone will come to receive you later."

In the scattered light spots around, there was an old voice, and Pope Igor, through the transmission of the holy light, said to Joshua from the air: "You really don't have another magic machine? If necessary, the church I can also lend you a holy artifact."

"No, under the crown of the Pope."

Shaking his head slightly at the light spot, Joshua's face was calm: "It's enough for me to have double fists."

"Okay... I believe you."

The spot of light became more and more dimmed because Eagle on the side of the sacred mountain no longer maintained the power of distorting time and space. Before the light completely disappeared, he said the last sentence: "Then, please destroy the gap in the abyss. "

Just as you destroyed the time and space gate of Moldova.

After the words, the light spot shattered, and the holy silver line inside the hall also lit up again, bringing the other crystals to bloom again.

Scanning the surrounding reliefs, seeing the silver light, Joshua, who finished the call, couldn't help but think of the disappointed silver-haired girl.

Hotaru was not surprised by her master’s choice, and she did not complain like she did before. The girl only calmly said that she was not afraid of the warrior's power. Whether it was a coma or worse consequences, she would not be a divine machine. There is the slightest regret, because this is the reason for their birth and also their mission.

The girl’s determination was so, but Joshua’s thoughts did not change at all. He shook his head and repeated his request, and then entrusted Hotaru and Rin to the old pope. This time he went to the Abyss of Anos, only Hei and No. .

Outside the hall, the sound of footsteps came one after another. The celestial phenomena above the Abyss of Anos obviously shocked many people. The old pope used the holy light to penetrate the time and space coordinates of the two places thousands of miles away, and sent the soldiers to his party. The movement sent by people is really too great, even a blind person can feel the majestic force that crosses the boundary surging in the central hall.

The door of the hall opened silently, and Joshua, who was observing the surrounding reliefs, turned her head and saw several familiar figures unexpectedly.

The two in the lead wore light armor, one full of silver hair, it was Robzek, the commander of the Knights of the Holy Hammer, and the other handsome knight with blond hair and blue eyes was Luo who had just left Moldavia a few months ago. Landa, the two people seemed to be chatting together before, still holding a wine glass in their hands.

After Joshua took a closer look, he curled his lips a little weirdly. He originally thought that the two of them had been drinking alcohol before, but the remnants in the glass turned out to be fruit juice. It's okay for Robzek, in the Loranda glass. The sugar in his juice was unbelievable. The warrior and the Paladin had stayed for so long, and I really didn't know that he liked to drink such sweet things, it was simply poisonous.

And the one who followed them was Saya, whom Joshua had seen in the imperial capital. This elegant nun wore a white monk's robe, with her long platinum hair curled up behind her head, covered by a black eye mask. Closed her eyes.

Saya seems to be working before. There is a crystal light board suspended on her side. Joshua recognizes it. This is a crystal shield commonly used by past priests. It can be manipulated with spiritual power and holy light, as long as energy Sufficient, it is extremely strong. It is almost a defensive weapon for wealthy wizards and high-level church monks, but this thing should have appeared in the middle of the dragon disaster, and the current side is probably an experimental product of the church.

"Sure enough, Earl Radcliffe."

The light in Robzek's hand flashed, and the wine glass in his palm disappeared. The hearty silver-haired knight walked forward, shook hands with the soldier and smiled: "A few days ago, under the crown of the Pope, and we will be delivered in a few days. The name is extremely powerful, and a helper in line with our current situation, thinking about it, really only you are the best candidate."

He himself was rescued by the warrior from the fog of God Evil, and he naturally understood Joshua's strength.

Saya, who said nothing, said hello in an ethereal voice: "Long time no see, Earl of the North, welcome to the Time."

And after talking with them for a while with a smile, Joshua turned his head and looked at Loranda, who looked a little complicated on the side. He shrugged and said with a smile: "How about it, my friend, you now agree with my idea." Up?"

The warrior's tone was a little teasing: "Loranda, I remember that you didn't agree with me and didn't want my help. I didn't expect you to change your mind so quickly."

After hearing this, not only Loranda, Robzek and Saya’s expressions were a little unnatural. They didn’t intend to involve anyone outside of the church at first, but in Anos’ After Yuan experienced several failed explorations, the church still recruited many other helpers to join the team of Time.

"...I have to admit, we really need your help."

Facing Joshua’s teasing, the blond Paladin hesitated for a moment, and finally confessed it happily. He shook his head slightly and said, “However, I did not expect you to come here so soon. It’s really hard to put it down, Miss 3 is really hard."

At this point, Loranda glanced around the soldier, his expression was a little confused: "Strange, where are Yinghe and Rin."

When the Paladin was in Moldavia, the teenage girl and Joshua were almost inseparable. Since these three guys didn’t sleep much, they all sat in the study together for a while when they were tired. At that time, Hotaru and Joshua Rin, right and left, closed his eyes and leaned against Joshua's arm to rest. This scene made Loranda remembered deeply.

But now, there are only half-dragons and unfamiliar and non-existent armored human figures around the warrior. The young girl is missing, and there is even no magic weapon in the form of a weapon. This not only makes the Paladin feel strange.

"They didn't come this time."

Joshua’s tone became a little cold, and he calmly said: "This time only me and Hei are the main combat support. This steel element is my subordinate. It is barely a summoned creature, and it has a little fighting power. I think this It should be enough."

"Completely enough."

Perceiving the change in the atmosphere, Robzek on the side immediately stopped the topic. The knight captain of the extreme level said with a smile: "With the addition of the power of the Earl, this time, we will definitely be able to go smoothly. Reach the center of the Abyss of Anos and destroy the gaps in the abyss deep in the central maelstrom!"

"Yup."

Sister Saya, who had been quietly listening to the people's speech, also sighed faintly, and said softly: "Last time we have found the Central Maelstrom, but because of the bad weather and the attack of the giant demonized sea beast, we had to retreat. This time, with the purifying power you inherited from the sages, Earl Radcliffe, we will surely accomplish our goal smoothly."

But as the atmosphere gradually recovered, the black who had completely separated from the discomfort brought by the high altitude seemed to perceive something. Its golden dragon pupils lit up and roared.

"Roar!!"

"what?"

And in the corridor outside the hall, after hearing this dragon roar, a slow footstep paused slightly, and a soft voice came. Then, the owner of the voice accelerated and came to the door of the hall.

A drunken, but soft, youthful voice sounded at the door: "Is there another sea dragon here?"

at the same time.

The top of the sacred mountain, inside the Great Temple.

At the end of the arcade engraved with the prophecy of'solitary sun, two moons, endless stars, the origin of a thousand years, only light will last forever', the old man with white hair and golden eyes, wearing a crown of holy silver, slowly opened his eyes and looked at just now The silver-haired girl who walked out of the gate of time and space had a trace of love in her eyes.

"Your name is Hotaru, isn't it?"

Pope Igor sat in his seat and whispered softly: "The perfect form of the seventh-generation divine machine, the technological advancement of the empire is so fast...Haha, the first-generation divine machine, the church has also contributed part of it, after all That is something that involves the family of Chaos, it is impossible for the holy mountain to ask questions."

The old pope looked at the silver-haired girl, while Firefly held the black giant axe in his hand silently, and looked at the old man without fear. Igel nodded in satisfaction with this, and he smiled kindly: "Look at you. Expression, it seems that you really want to help your master?"

"Yes, under the crown."

Hugging the black giant axe in her hand tightly, Hotaru nodded vigorously. She opened her eyes wide and looked at the old man in front of her earnestly and said: "Whether it is Rin or me, I want to help the master, but the master... No need for our help."

At this point, the girl couldn't help being a little frustrated. Although she had known that Joshua's strength had progressed so fast that it far surpassed the average human warrior, she did not expect that she would become a cumbersome one day.

If one day, soldiers arrive at a point where they worry about their damage even when they wield weapons, what is the point of their existence? Rather than being a cumbersome, don't reveal...

"Don't worry~www.novelmtl.com~Firefly, as long as you want to, there is no problem. Since the Church of the Seven Gods has agreed to Joshua's condition, it will definitely do it."

Interrupting the girl's random thoughts, the old pope's mouth slightly cocked. After years of wind and rain, how could he not see Joshua's unconcealed thoughts? The warrior obviously regards the two divine machines as relatives, so I sincerely hope that they can be strengthened, not as a burden, but because the girl's mind is a little off because of worry and needs to be corrected.

"follow me."

As if recalling something, Eagle's eyes flashed with a light called expectation: "Start strengthening for you early, and maybe I can help your master sooner."

"He must also be waiting for the day you fight with him."
