Soul of Burning Steel

Of course, Joshua was not interested in knowing what the other party was planning to do. With a flick of her finger, the rushing air stunned the gold-ranked priestess. The layers of strength stirred the opponent's brain and plunged it into depth. concussion.

"Hei, be optimistic about this guy, if there is any change, she will be sprayed to death with a breath of dragon."

After thinking about it, the soldier changed his words again: "No, I still have some questions to ask... Then if she wants to commit suicide, knock her out."

"Good master!" The black dragon girl replied simply and neatly. She looked at the half of the skull face of the golden priestess who was unconscious on the ground, her face full of curiosity: "Then, did she kill her with a breath of dragon or stun her? she was?"

"It all works, it depends on the situation."

He said casually, the soldier walked halfway up the mountain, passing by a large bulging snow hill, he took a special look, and then the snow hill shook uncontrollably, and the snow was flying.

"It's because you didn't do anything." Qiao Xiuya nodded slightly: "I will let you go this time, and go back quickly."

The giant beast in the snow mound was naturally relieved. With the rumbling roar, the iron armored mountain dragon, which was helpless to the entire cult team, escaped directly into the soil and hurriedly escaped from the ground.

When I came to the place covered by avalanche before Ivan, the soldier stretched out his hand and the invisible high thermal current melted the snow into a big hole, exposing the young hunter hiding in a crack in the rock more than ten meters below. He raised his hand again, and the majestic life energy lifted it up and placed it on the snow.

Ivan is now in a coma, because hiding in the corner of the rock gap, the boy was not directly impacted by the avalanche, but the huge shock and aftermath were enough to stun and seriously injure a black iron-level mage. All of his internal organs have injuries of varying severity. If they are not treated in time, they are likely to cause serious concealed injuries.

But Qiao Xiuya is here, he will not let his students have any surprises, the warrior mobilizes the pure life energy in the Azure Orb, and slightly adjusts it to the point where Ivan can accept it. The next moment, this energy Then poured into the boy's body.

In just less than three seconds, Ivan's injuries were mostly healed. The reason he was not completely healed was just because he didn't have a strong body like Joshua, and if he was treated too quickly, it would only be too much.

"There are three more at the foot of the mountain."

Looking at the foot of the mountain on the other side, Joshua said to himself, and in the next instant, he arrived at the foot of the mountain like a teleport, using the same technique to rescue the three of Amila who were buried underneath. After healed the wounds, the soldiers took them back to the mountainside and put them with Ivan.

It wasn't until this time that Joshua began to think about why there would be cultists in the Arctic Ice Plains.

"Although there are not many patrol troops around the border, it is impossible to come to the Arctic Icefield unknowingly."

Touching his chin, Joshua scanned a snowy area. Under this large area of ​​snow, more than a dozen cultists were in a coma. Although many people were gradually waking up, most of them were due to the severe cold. When caught in a chronic death, the soldiers didn't mean to take action, but waited for these people to crawl out by themselves.

Although Silver-level fighters cannot fight natural disasters, they are indeed much more resistant than ordinary people. In just less than ten minutes, five cultists with strong physique awakened from the ice and snow, and quickly digging up and climbing. To the surface.

But what greeted them was an irreversible terror.

It didn't take much effort for Qiao Xiuya to easily learn the process of their arrival in the Arctic Ice Field from those cultists who were frightened kneeling on the ground and crying for mercy.

These cultists passed through the merchant ships on the ice-free river of Magher, disguised as merchants and crossed the guards patrolling the surrounding Northland, and then detoured from the Black Forest outside Moldova. They arrived at the Arctic Ice Field. They came here for the sake of Excavation is buried in the bottom of the dragon's nest, there may be plague poison gas. These plague poisons are about the next task they are going to do, but only the golden priestess who leads the team knows what the specific task is.

Joshua didn't ask about the following content, but the cultists who were trying to survive rushed to expose it spontaneously. Instead, they described the details in great detail. Looking at their passionate appearance, the fighters thought they regarded themselves as high-ranking priests.

As the elite believers who have sneaked into Moldavia, these people certainly know Joshua’s power and horror, but only those who have seen Joshua understand that the rumors are far inferior to the truth in case, facing this kind of survival instinct. With the existence of the soul foretelling desperately warning, no one will be stupid enough to lie.

Since the other party was so acquainted, Joshua didn't plan to kill these cultists with his hands now. He bent his fingers slightly, and then ejected a stream of air currents, knocking these people stunned. The soldiers planned to hand them over to the church, and let Atanis and others slowly torture them.

Through observation, Joshua can also be sure that these people are free of plague bacteria. They are not the same as the cultists caught last time for self-explosions, attacks, and strikes. They seem to be the backbone of the cult, and they can think about it. Ask for more information.

With the four people and the captives who were still in a coma, Joshua returned to the black dragon girl at the foot of the mountain. At this time, the golden priestess had awakened. She was sitting on the spot with a gray face, half of the skull face The soul fire is also weak enough to be extinguished, and it seems that the sequelae of the concussion are very serious.

The woman seemed to have no intention of resisting. Even if there was only darkness around, she never thought of running away. When she saw Joshua walking slowly, her lips moved slightly, as if she was talking to herself. , But in the end there was no sound.

"What did you come to the Northland for?"

Putting the captives and students on the snowy ground, Joshua did not be polite with the cultist. He asked directly: "Recently, I heard that there is an ancient relic in Moldova. You should be here for those things, right? "

"...Yes, my lord."

There was silence for a while, and then said very respectfully. The priestess was afraid that her words and deeds would offend Joshua, so she cautiously replied: "Our order has discovered a long time ago that there is an ancient ruin in the Black Forest of Moldova, through the prophecy of the high priest and the ancient literature. According to the record, the senior leaders of the sect thought that there was something we must get... but I don’t know why, the news was leaked, and the arrival of many adventurers hindered our actions, so they planned to..."

Having said that, she smiled bitterly and said: "Brandon Kaos and Verdani Scarlet are both golden high-ranking, even peak powers. The Moldova they are stationed in is only better than yours. Slightly inferior, so in order to be able to explore the ruins as soon as possible, the high priest decided to come personally. And we only wanted the high priest to move smoothly, we plan to come to find the plague gas, and see if we can cause a riot in the Moldovan collar... "

After hearing this news, Joshua raised his brows. He and the black dragon girl who didn't understand at all looked at each other, and then said: "Did you find the ruins in Moldova first? Did you make trouble among the adventurers? No wonder Brandon and the others are so busy all day that they don’t even have time to take care of their daughter."

The priestess did not speak, and a trace of cold sweat broke out on her head.

Whether it is a demon sacrifice or a cult group, in order to ensure that their secrets are not leaked, there will be a unique means of restraint, or a blood oath, or a spiritual lock. If it is just a general secret, it’s okay, just like Xiang Qiao before. Like the cultists who scrambled to reveal the secret, Xiuya didn't have any backlashes, but if it was the priestess who uttered some important information, then she would be punished.

Looking at the expression, this restraint method is probably a mental lock, at this time she should be suffering from soul backlash.

When the backlash of the opponent's soul was over, after finally breathing a sigh of relief, Joshua asked again: "Who is the high priest you mentioned and how strong is it."

He asked faintly: "You are confident that after he arrives, you can ignore Brandon and Verdani's obstruction and explore the ruins. Do you want to be very strong?"

"Of course, very strong."

After hearing the warrior’s words, the soul fire in the priestess’s eyes flashed, but she didn’t know why she calmed down, and said in a strange tone: “In the rumor, the Radcliffe’s The lord is an extremely warlike madman. Even if he is fighting against a legendary powerhouse, the empire has no fear... I originally thought that the lord of a place should be unlikely to have this kind of character, but I didn't expect it to be true."

"I myself don't think I'm suitable for being a lord." Joshua shrugged. He glanced at the priestess who suddenly had no fear and had calmed down, and then said thoughtfully: "It seems, He is indeed very strong. Just thinking of his existence, your courage rises again and you can communicate with me normally."

"That's natural...Joshua Van Radcliffe, I admit that you are indeed stronger than I imagined, even better than the rumors. Just seeing you, I know how I am It is impossible to escape by calculation. No matter how lucky it is, it will undoubtedly be defeated, so I will not resist."

Sitting on the ground, the pale-faced priestess closed her eyes, and she sneered: "Your strength even makes me hallucinate. My soul is oppressed by instinctive fear and cannot even mobilize magic power... You are not a legend. , But what is missing is just a breakthrough point. For all the most powerful people in this world, you can occupy the top ten."

"But there is still a gap from the high priest."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Qiao Xiu's expression moved, and he touched his chin, showing no anger at all.

And the priestess is still talking to herself: "But in the final analysis, you still haven't broken through the shackles. No matter how fast you progress, it is impossible to reach the legendary realm quickly, but the high priest is different... he has already touched the shackles. At the last level, it’s only a little bit before you can become a legend."

Opening his eyes again, the black cultist said in an indifferent voice: "You can't stop the high priest's footsteps, nor can Nostradamus."

The priestess plucked up the last courage and said so much to the warrior. She originally thought that Joshua would kill herself directly because of her anger, so she simply put on the appearance of going to death generously, but to her surprise, Qiao Xiuya didn't do anything, on the contrary, it seemed to be remembering something.

"Starfall 833, the leader of the cult, will soon break through the legend..."

The soldier didn't look at the priestess at all, he simply recalled the past message: "--it sounds like an acquaintance again."

"It is indeed a strong man."

Thinking of this, he showed a pure smile, Joshua lowered his head, looked at the priestess, and said leisurely: "Thank you, you have brought me the best good news in the past few months."

After speaking, he stunned the golden priest with another snap of his finger, and then walked towards the group of four. Hei followed in Joshua’s footsteps, and then curiously asked: "Master, she said Is that person really that strong?"

"Probably there is." Joshua nodded. He thought for a while, and then continued: "This person is indeed a talented wizard. If it weren't for strayed into a cult decades ago, he should be a well-known strong now. , He can even reach the realm of legend. But even now, he is about to break through the legend."

"Unexpectedly, bringing you here for a walk will actually yield such a gain."

Qiao Xiuya and Hei were indeed running around in the Arctic Icefield. By the way, they confirmed whether there were signs of a large-scale migration of beasts, but as soon as they ran halfway, they noticed the gold-level magic fluctuations around the dragon's nest in the distance. .

Originally, the warriors thought it was two gold-class beasts competing for the dominance of this place, but they did not expect it to be a battle between an iron armored mountain dragon and a cultist. Joshua also noticed that there were students from his academy at the mountainside and the foot of the mountain Breath, just as he was about to set out for rescue, the avalanche was triggered by Amila and others.

The memory was over, feeling the big heart of his students, Joshua bent down and patted the face of the group of four who was about to wake up.

Then just when I woke up, I saw the four soldiers yelled ‘Wow’, and drew back in horror.

The smile disappeared from the soldier's face.

And Ivan, who was awake, quickly calmed down. The first thing he felt was the tingling inside his body, which was caused by the internal organ injuries that had not yet fully healed, but it was milder than he thought. Many, the hunter boy originally thought that even if he didn't die in the hands of the cultists, he would die because of his injuries.

Looking up at the Lord Lord and the surrounding cultists who collapsed on the ground, Ivan immediately understood how he and others had survived. He immediately stood up and thanked Joshua somewhat cautiously, but was influenced by the youth. Amila, Karin, Nick and others who have been recovering one after another also thanked Joshua.

"No thanks, I just dropped in here for a walk." Seeing the four people who were too nervous and could not even speak, Joshua sighed, shook her head and said: "You guys Being able to be saved is mostly due to my own credit-at such a young age, I dared to cause an avalanche and die by playing with cultists. If this kind of courage can be maintained, it will definitely be achieved in the future."

Having said that, the soldier looked specifically at Ivan.

He often sees this child. Ivan Makarov is known as the hardest student in the entire Winterhold Academy. Except for a small number of people who don’t agree with him, most of the students and teachers have a good impression of him. This young man’s talent for magic theory is very good. High, the actual combat is not bad, in general, is a very good talent, and can even be called a genius.

The confrontation with the cultists this time made Joshua more aware of the courage and determination of the other party. After thinking about it for a while, the soldier said, "This time, half of the credit of the cultists who were exterminated will be counted toward you. But why are you in the Arctic Icefield? This should not be the place where students of your level should come."

Everyone didn't dare to lie to Joshua, they could only tell the truth honestly.

"Gold?" After hearing this, Joshua looked weird: "That's right. I didn't seem to go to dig the white dragon's storage room. I just took the eggs and the corpse away... But because of a beast, you would Going to the extreme north ice field to explore? This is too reckless."

Aside, Hei looked at Qiao Xiu with inexplicable eyes, and she muttered to herself softly with some doubts: "Eh, is this also considered reckless?"

At this time, four faint flashes lit up in the distant sky of the far north ice sheet. Joshua looked up, and then admired: "Yes, the rescue came in time. It seems that even if I don’t arrive, you guys will be there. There should be no life-threatening."

Although the four people are only black iron level mages, they can also detect the violent fluctuations in magic power in the distance. There are multiple golden mages flying in this direction at a rapid speed, but they seem to have discovered the existence of Joshua, so they Slowed down.

And at this moment, Ivan saw that his lord did not know where he took out a piece of paper and pen, then he wrote a few words and signed his name, and the soldier handed the parchment to the boy. : "Here is my permit. You can freely enter and exit my study in Winterhold, and you can borrow books that meet your requirements in the library at will."

Joshua retracted the pen. He looked at the joyful young girls, and he couldn't help but smile: "Of course, this is a reward for your courage... Then, the four of you, until next summer, You are not allowed to leave Winterhold Academy. The largest range of activities is around Nissi Snow Mountain~www.novelmtl.com~ This is your reckless punishment."

Regarding Ivan, Amila, Karin and Nick, none of them expressed the slightest disagreement, not even in their hearts. Everyone clearly understands that with advanced textbooks, they don’t need to go everywhere to complete tasks. It doesn’t matter if their points are exceeded by others. They can spend half a year as much as possible to improve their own strength and enrich their own. Learning.

At this time, the two leaders of the Golden Mages had arrived first, and they respectfully saluted Qiao Xiuya, and the soldiers also nodded slightly, beckoning each other to look after the students.

Then, he looked to the east, where Moldova led.

"Ancient ruins?" Joshua said softly.

"interesting."
