Soul of Burning Steel

? Half a month ago, the battle that took place in the imperial capital has spread throughout the empire.

　　 The Sanshan Imperial Capital is located in the northern central plain, linking the north and south as well as the western desert. It is the political and commercial center of the empire. Every day, thousands of caravans come to the satellite towns or markets at the foot of the Sanshan Mountains to trade. At the same time, they will also bring news from various places, or they will bring news to all places.

The battle between the Emperor Israel and Joshua, the Earl of the North, was undoubtedly a major event worth discussing after drinking. It was only a few days, mobile caravans and expedited magical messages. The news was passed on to all the well-informed nobles and large chambers of commerce, and after another week, even the farmers who were busy harvesting had a general understanding of the matter.

The name 　　Joshua once again became the center of the conversation. As a Jiyi, he actually dared to challenge the legendary powerhouse. Although he lost, he returned intact. This kind of thing can be regarded as a legend in a sense. Of course, everyone knows that this must be the emperor's left hand, but it is enough for people to talk about it.

　　 Dangling to the rain clouds, raining torrential rain, the squally winds and elemental fluctuations that swept the entire Sanshan area, as high as the second sun. This is just the aftermath. For ordinary people who have never seen a real strong shot, this battle can also give them a little understanding of the power of the extraordinary above the gold.

However, civilians can not care about the reason for Joshua and Israel's fight, and only care about the powerful power displayed by the two fights, but the nobles can't do that. Compared to Joshua, they once again showed extraordinary power. The power of most families want to know why the Patriarch of the Radcliffe family, who is clearly one of the pillars of the royal party, will fight with the ruler of the empire.

　　 Because no one blocked the news, they quickly learned the truth and sorted out the general process.

First of all, because of the competition from the Radcliffe family, the Fertau family was in the north and the arms sales industry in the east was hit to a certain extent. At the same time, many small families and the famous Suward were also damaged. Home. Because the Earl of Northland was on the sacred mountain at that time and seemed to be missing, the Feltao family decided to directly coerce and negotiate with the industrial managers of the Radcliffe family.

　　 Obviously, the coercion did not succeed, so the manager was assassinated. Seeing this, basically most aristocrats have no psychological fluctuations. Although this kind of thing is abused and shameless by many famous clans with a long history, it is not an unacceptable method and is part of the unspoken rule.

　　 However, the next thing is a bit fun. The news of the manager’s assassination seemed to be hindered, and he was not informed of the Earl of Northland at the first time. When the Earl knew about it, most of his subordinates in the imperial capital were already dead—the group of stupid Felta's. Jia Xiaozi thought it was Joshua who was afraid of them, so he didn't keep his hands at all, instead he killed more and more vigorously.

Then, Joshua rushed to the imperial capital and slaughtered the second son of the Suward family and the three official family members of the Fertaou family. If it weren't for the fact that the emperor happened to be in the imperial capital at that time, he shot and blocked the other party, angry. Mr. Earl of Count might, as he said, rush to Fertao in the northwest of the empire to kill six people, one life for one life.

　　 "Remember, tell those people that they still owe me two lives." This is what the head of the Radcliffe family said when he left the imperial capital. He didn't seem to have killed enough. If it weren't for Israel to prevent Joshua from continuing his assassin, and forcing him to ban him for a full year in the North, then the Lord Earl would definitely not hesitate to find trouble with the Feltao's family.

This incident spread extremely quickly among the nobles. Some people didn’t care, some raised their eyebrows, and most of them were wary of the Northland Earl who took the shot himself if he didn’t agree. Among a small group of people, half clapped and cheered, while the other half gritted their teeth.

　　 The group of people who gritted their teeth naturally needless to say, only the two families where the people were killed or injured. Although they were extremely angry because of the death of a family member, they did not have any channels to vent—in name, Israel had already taught each other a lesson, and forced Joshua to ban for half a year. For someone who can fight against the legend For the extremely strong, this is already a very serious punishment.

　　Secondly, they couldn't beat each other, and there was no way for them to get revenge.

It is only natural to be unable to fight. According to the speculation of the staff group, the combat effectiveness of the Northern Earl has been judged to be the highest level in the extreme intention after experiencing the sacred mountain mad dragon war and the fight with the emperor, which has surpassed a lot. Other veteran brands are extremely interested, even among the five commanders of the army, there are few who can compare with them. No one would deny this, even the enemy, Joshua's record is obvious to all, and it is impossible to cheat.

　　 There is no way to get revenge, which is actually not surprising. The four leaders of the Northern Territory were basically isolated from the world before they opened a transmission network in the first half of the year. Their transactions with the outside world depended on the dragon cart merchants and the Magellan River, and they directly traded with the imperial royal family and the five directly affiliated legions. The Feltau family really couldn't think of any idea to avenge this stubborn Northland Earl.

The name was further spread, and what brought Joshua was higher prestige. Many powerful adventurers who did not care much about current affairs and devoted themselves to adventure in the mountains and jungles also knew his name. There were many adventure teams and mercenaries. The group just chose to explore the surroundings of the Great Aes Mountains just because of curiosity, and wanted to see what this Count, who was called the "strongest", the most intent, looks like.

　　 For this reason, even if the snow in early winter has fallen, there is still an endless stream of adventurers and mercenaries heading to Moldavia in the north.

　　 For Joshua, the so-called forbidden foot is meaningless.

　　 In the next six months, the Northland will be extremely cold. As a lord, he would have stayed here, always guarding the Black Forest Kuroshio. As the dean of Winterhold, he has to prepare with Nostradamus for the next college assessment in early summer, not to mention the establishment of the rune factory and the production of magic armor.

According to the timetable, if there are no sudden major events like the trip to the Abyss of Anos, the soldiers will be very busy in the next year and will not have time to go out. The most recent major event is the harvest festival and the meeting at any time. A group of natural tutors here.

　　 834 years, October 5th, North Moldavia, Great Aes Mountains.

　　 In the volcanic cave that has long been submerged by the lava, a team of wizards and workers wearing simple magic armor are working. The mages use fossils as mud and move them to quickly dig passages, while workers equipped with high temperature resistance and fire element resistance armor remove inert rocks and ores that are not affected by spells.

Under the guidance of the spell, they excavated very quickly and in the right direction. The team avoided every lava channel and dangerous magic gathering area, and the powerful power of the magic armor ensured the worker’s work and progress. .

These people were sent by Joshua to discover the engineering team that went to the world of Ilgna. Due to the attack of the evil **** [Scourge], Sigma volcano completely disappeared, and the teleportation channel located in the lava cave under the Great Eas volcano was temporarily It was sealed and the inverted lava filled the entire cave, so that the cave entrance on the surface was all solidified volcanic rock.

In order to ensure that this transmission channel that communicates the two worlds can be discovered before the natural teacher arrives, Joshua has sent several college instructors as well as the Association mage who is studying the black blood plague. He even has several knights in the group. The knight put on his armor and came to work as a digger.

Under the protection of the mana armor, these silver knights can temporarily fearless magma. The efficiency of the combination of the two teams of transcendents is so terrible that they have completed a quarter of the total in less than half a day. The target was already close to the depths of the earth. The cave where the space-time passage was originally located, they also found a rich ore of fire element spar by the way.

In the evening, the day’s work was temporarily over. The leader of the squad, a dwarf familiar with the volcanic area, used magical messaging to report the work progress to Joshua in the main city of Moldavia. He reported the situation truthfully, and then waited for the next step. Instructions.

　　 The soldier has nothing to say about this. In addition to encouraging the other party's enthusiasm for work, he can only ask to pay more attention to safety issues during work.

　　 After finishing the call, Joshua put down the communication circle, and his spirit returned to his body.

　　 At this time, he was in the study room of the lord's mansion, and he was meditating quietly by himself.

Although the battle between 　　 and Israel was indeed defeated by the opponent, in fact, the soldiers learned a lot in that short fight.

A legendary superb energy control and ingenious timing of shots gave Joshua a brand-new experience. This is a fighting technique different from him and has extremely high reference value, not to mention that in the end, Ith Rael transformed his will into an entity, and turned it into a lance stabbing with his bare hands.

　　 This is completely different from the power he once mastered. It is another system power. The ability to freely switch between will and vindictiveness is so subtle, in the eyes of Joshua, it can be called art.

　　 You must know that will and spirit are the power derived from fire, and they are completely different from the vindictiveness of the tributary of the power of steel as the manifestation of the essence of life. The warrior knew that the mystery of the conversion between the two must contain the secret of Israel's advanced legend. He needs to study carefully and refer to it.

　　 As for the system, the soldiers felt that it was too dangerous to rely on the system all the time, and people really needed a second option.

　　 Sitting on a chair, the soldier who temporarily finished his meditation opened his eyes slightly, and his eyes revealed a sense of subconscious urgency.

He is already an extremely powerful person, the highest group of people in the world. Except for the legendary powerhouse and the gods, the warrior has no rivals on this land. Now, he can feel the crisis and show such an expression. , There is only one thing.

　　Magic Tide.

　　 "The tide of magic is coming..." whispering these two words, Joshua got up from the seat and walked to the window of the lord's mansion. The soldier looked down at Hotaru and Hei, who was having fun with the two little girls downstairs, and said to himself calmly: "Sure enough, the strong man in this world has already noticed this."

The so-called magic wave, generally speaking, refers to the annual wave of monsters in the central Black Forest. Countless terrifying monsters will rush out from the depths of the deep magic forest, attacking the civilized world and the empire. The southern fortress group and the large isolation area in the eastern plain are all specially built defense lines to fight the magic tide.

　　 But it is obvious that the tide of magic in Israel's mouth is not the tide of monsters in the ordinary sense. What he was talking about was a great magic wave sweeping the multiverse and setting off a tide of elements in countless worlds.

In this vast and boundless multiverse, the peak of energy is not consistent. In the past few thousand years, the energy level of the whole world has been relatively stable, whether it is rising or declining relatively slowly, but next, the upcoming big The magic wave means that in a short period of time, the energy concentration of the entire Mycroft world has reached its peak almost quickly.

what does that mean?

　　 means too many things.

The surging elements will completely change everything in this world. Everything is immersed in a high-concentration magic environment, just like what the first creatures in this world experienced at the beginning of the world, countless beasts, plants and even various intelligent races. There will be benign and beneficial reversion phenomena. Countless powerful ancient creatures will get rid of the lingering situation and begin to multiply and survive normally. The minerals in the earth will become richer and more valuable. Ordinary people perceive energy and advance to Black Iron Enlightenment will also be countless times easier than before.

The level of the entire world will be abruptly elevated by one or two levels on the original basis. At that time, although the golden realm was still rare, it was definitely not limited to what it is today. In an empire with a population of hundreds of millions, there were only thousands of people. In order to reach this state, the average level of adult dragons will also be raised to the gold level, becoming a genuine gold race.

　　 At that time, countless originally silent geniuses will gush out like a spring, and the entire continent will therefore enter the most prosperous era. In just a few decades, it will catch up with the footsteps of the previous generation of civilization.

　　Of course, these are all good things. Joshua blinked, then turned his head and looked at the location of the distant Black Forest.

　　 The bad side is equally scary.

　　Intelligent life can enjoy the benefits of increasing the concentration of magic power, so it is naturally also possible for Warcraft. Even more wild, close to the essence of violent magic power, they will get more promotion. When the Great Demon Tide arrives and everyone has not had time to adapt to the horrible concentration of magic power, the endless monsters in the Black Forest have long been accustomed to this new power and are ready to move. They will swarm out to win even more. In the past, several times the force attacked the unprepared major forces.

　　 This is a natural disaster. The warrior is not actually afraid of those beasts. He believes that under his leadership, Moldavia, and even the entire Northland, will not suffer any loss due to the dark tide of the Great Aes Mountains.

　　 What he worries about is man-made disaster.

When unconstrained forces spread, ambition will spread. In just a few months after the arrival of the previous demonic wave, the post-war stable situation in the four major human gathering areas was broken. Cultists declared that this was a precursor to God’s surrender. The horn of the doomsday, and the demon summoners found that they can more easily and simply call those forces from the abyss.

　　 The increase in magic power level not only affects good people, but the power of pirates and bandits everywhere will naturally get a fair increase. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Because the environment has become more suitable, the originally silent necromancers will wake up from their long sleep in the tomb and return to this world. At the same time, there are countless ancient inheritances.

　　 Of course, this is not the most important thing.

　　 Qiao Xiya put his gaze away from the silver-haired girl and the black dragon girl, he raised his head and looked towards the sky. The eyes of the warrior seemed to be able to penetrate the void and see the boundless heaven outside the world and the gods in it.

　　The Great Demon Tide means a lot.

　　 But there is nothing more significant than this one.

　　 "The gods descend."

　　The soldier muttered to himself: "Man and God live together on the earth."

　　 Having said that, he paused for a while, and then he tucked at the corner of his mouth, with a slightly excited smile.

　　 "Really, a great era that is exciting."
