Soul of Burning Steel

Vol 7 Chapter 23: Willful qualifications (7,200 words)

Pursuing the breath of order, Joshua found his goal, a carriage driving on a country road.

The strength of the fourth inheritor is not strong, at most it is wandering in the middle of the golden realm. She did not hide her aura, so Joshua discovered her existence more than ten kilometers away, and then accelerated all the way. Come up.

The process went smoothly a little beyond imagination, there was no fighting, no ignorant shadows interrupted, it was as simple as a dream.

When the soldier literally stood in the air above the carriage, he realized that his goal of coming to this world was about to be achieved.

The good news is indeed exciting.

With a slight leak of pressure, Joshua ordered the two strong horses that were pulling the carriage forward to gradually stop, and then lowered their heads in a panic, and the carriage driver who urged the horses to move also found a warrior who did not hide his figure. He banged on the window in a panic, and loudly notified the people inside that there was an accident outside.

Joshua didn't do much to stimulate these ordinary people from the holy city. He just stood quietly, waiting for the appearance of his goal, the Fourth Inheritor.

Next, the red-haired girl in the resonance illusion got out of the carriage like this, stood on the ground, and stared at him.

The soldier's gaze was quickly attracted by the seemingly ordinary white robe on her.

This is a clean and flawless robe that is not stained with any dust. Except for some simple and primitive runes, there is no decoration on it, but in Joshua's eyes, it can clearly see its essence.

Just as the azure orb is actually a flame that has not started to burn, the double blades of order are two indestructible holy lights, and the pure white scepter is a vessel that carries the initial fire. This seemingly ordinary robe is caused by Countless stars-like textures are layered and woven. It does not use any mundane materials. The majestic energy and runes are all of it. Even Joshua could not see for a while. How many runes, how much energy it contains, spreading it out and turning it into a magic circle, may be enough to cover an entire continent, and when the energy is completely released, it can easily destroy anything.

The warrior vaguely thought of a similar existence, the Apocalyptic Array, a huge magical array containing the souls of the entire world's population. Perhaps only this existence can compare the true form of this robe.

All of Joshua's attention was focused on the inheritance robe, but on the other side, Hylya's attention was all focused on the warrior.

This is an indescribable feeling.

Hilya has been wandering in this doomsday world for 27 years. She has seen countless intelligent lives. In this long time, the girl has developed a kind of ability.

As long as you see a person, you can roughly see the essence of a person.

Wisdom, insidious, bold, reckless, with a city in his heart, calm and stubborn... Even some people who are good at hiding their heart will expose their essence in some inadvertent actions, and then make Hilya aware.

But the man in front of him...

Hilya raised her head and stared at the opponent with her eyes like a lava ball. The girl's heart couldn't help but shudder. What kind of eyes are that, all the feelings of ordinary people are lost in it, but they are not like a construct. That dull and ruthless, the terrifying coercion that can make people kneel down instantly is contained in it, and it seems that it may break out at any time.

Natural disasters, inhuman.

As if facing a volcano that is about to erupt, the sense of danger like the tsunami that is about to be suppressed immediately urges me to escape as soon as possible, far away from this incomparably powerful, but unable to detect any existence, even if it is the leader of the undead army that has been chasing him. The level of horror may not be comparable to him.

And the next moment, the man spoke.

"Finally found you, the last inheritor."

This voice is deep and penetrating, and a clanging sound similar to the clang of steel can be faintly heard. He used an unexpectedly softened tone, as if to a friend, and said: "This world is too dangerous. You need to hurry up and follow me. Go back together."

"The last inheritor... is it me?"

Hylya quickly realized who the last inheritor the other party said was. She stroked the robe on her body with a complicated expression, but her body took a step back subconsciously.

If it were before, I would probably follow this strong man to leave without hesitation, but now, after knowing the truth... she didn't want to leave at all.

And the other party immediately discovered this.

"You don't believe me. That's right, you and your family may not remember your mission after wandering away for so many years."

Nodding slightly, the man said, "But even if you don't believe me, you should believe in this light."

He stretched out his right hand slightly, his heart beating, making a heavy sound, and a group of cyan light condensed with this sound, and turned into a group of slightly burning flames in the palm of the man's hand.

This flame released light and heat. Although faint, it expelled all the haze and dullness around. When Hylya saw it, the unparalleled sense of peace quickly occupied every corner of her heart. She knew that The person with this flame is undoubtedly her companion, so orderly, the light without the slightest impurity instinctively attracts all the inheritors, like the signal in the night sky attracting them to come and gather.

"...No way."

Hylya took a long breath. She stopped her shaking and calmed down the body that was about to touch the flames. She said in a low, but unexpectedly firm voice: "I won't follow you. Going back... I won't go to that world!"

In the words, there was a startling and obvious disgust, and an extremely determined heart.

When he heard this, Qiao Xiuya frowned slightly.

"Although you don’t know why, you would refuse my request and you are so unwilling to return to your ancestors’ hometown. You know, there are many undead hunting you in this world. If it weren’t for Urbani’s protection, you might Long ago dead."

He put away the light of the Azure Orb in his hand, took out a mirror from his arms, Joshua input the power of order into it, and then said faintly: "So you can't help this matter."

The next moment, the warrior forcibly activated the sacred artifacts made by the old Pope, and informed the opponent that he had found the Fourth Inheritor. His tone did not change at all: "I don't like to force a person to do something he doesn't like to do, especially Forcing a girl, but now, your robe is carrying the lives of millions of people in the world, and I will not be merciful for this."

Perceiving the change in Joshua’s attitude, Hylya immediately decided to turn around and flee. Following her mind, a little light flashed on her robe. It was a spell that was naturally produced when countless runes were connected to each other. After that moment, the girl's figure was changed. Turning into a stream of light, she has fled thousands of meters away in just a short time.

The high-level professionals in the Grandia world essentially use the magic power obtained by absorbing the original crystal in their own body. When they use it, it is tens of tons of physical power or the destructive power that can crush a small building. , But this is already the limit, and it is absolutely impossible to use a secret method similar to teleportation. In the years of fleeing, Hylya has already broken through the level of the earth. At this moment, she can use the infinite power contained in the earth and air. , Can communicate with the free magical energy in the surrounding environment, draw and control the power of heaven and earth.

With the help of this majestic energy and the magic of the robe, the Dragon Wing Maiden was able to launch three times in a row a light-transmitting method similar to instant movement. In the process of hunting down the undead army, this skill saved her countless times, no matter how tightly encircled. Will also get rid of this speed.

But this time, there was an accident.

Qiao Xiuya stood there and didn't move. He just concentrated a little, and then his thoughts flashed. The next moment, Hylya, who had fled to the wilderness more than 3,000 meters away, was about to launch the second secret method. I felt a huge force in the air that could not be refused and resisted. This force seemed to be like a burning sun, repelling all the power of the world that was gathering around her. Then, the energy was turned into hands. Tightly grasped the girl in the palm of his hand, and then quickly sent her back to the carriage.

"Don't even think about running away."

With his hands on his back, looking at the Dragon Wing Maiden who was sent back at several times the speed of sound, the warrior walked forward slowly, and he calmly said: "Unless you can fly ten kilometers away from my domain in an instant, otherwise, you There is no way to leave even if you go to heaven and earth."

The energy giant dissipated, and the red-haired girl fell to the ground a little embarrassedly, she stood up with her mouth pursed, and gave the warrior a bit of hate, but completely gave up the idea of ​​running away.

"So now."

Not caring about the other person's attitude, Joshua walked up to Hilya and asked in a weird tone: "Can you tell me why you want to escape?"

The warrior asked himself that his attitude was very peaceful. The Fourth Inheritor did not seem to be affected by his desperate aura, so he would not be afraid to run away. Moreover, he had already revealed the light of the Azure Pearl, since he is an inheritor. , Then it is natural to understand that she is her companion.

In the world of Grantia, there are countless undead hunting down the dragon-wing girl. From Urbani’s mouth, Joshua naturally learned of Hilya’s dangerous situation in this world. He originally felt that as soon as he spoke, he kept The other party who worked hard to escape would gratefully go back with him, but he didn't expect this reaction in the end.

But no matter how the soldiers asked, how intimidating and tempting, Hylya just refused to speak with a look of death. Joshua was extremely helpless. In the final analysis, he was not a villain. Facing the same inheritor, it is very likely in the future. It was a companion who fought against Chaos. Of course, he couldn't intimidate him too much, and he couldn't say the lines that the fighters could say that were obviously only villains.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, what Joshua wants is a robe, not a person. It doesn't matter whether the girl agrees or not.

In the Mirror of Holy Splendor presented by Pope Eagle, holy rays of light began to gradually fluctuate. Layers of ripples seemed to be thrown into the calm lake water of stones. After a while, the ripples calmed down and an old face appeared, and the old pope on the other side of the world He said loudly in an uncontrollable surprise voice: "Joshua, you have found the Fourth Inheritor!?"

"Ah, yes."

Qiao Xiu squinted at the red-haired girl who seemed to be trying to resist the stubborn resistance to the end. He thought for a while, but found that he hadn’t asked the other person’s name, so he skipped: "I found her, but she looks Very uncooperative, unwilling to come back with me."

"This is a very normal thing. You are asking someone to leave their hometown and go to another world with you, an unfamiliar outsider. If she agrees with a word, it is not normal." The old pope did it at this time. Hilya spoke. Through Joshua adjusting the mirror surface of the mirror, Igel saw the dragon-wing girl who was restrained in place by the warrior's grudge. Like Joshua, he could see through the essence of the simple robes on the girl at a glance. , It was a material existence constructed by the rune of endless order. Just a glance, the old pope completely confirmed it. This is the fourth inheritance.

But at this time, Iger's tone became serious. In the mirror, the old pope frowned slightly: "But Joshua, I really didn't expect you to find the target so quickly."

According to Eagle’s conjecture, even with Joshua’s strength, it is very difficult to find an unremarkable holder of the lineage of sages in a completely unfamiliar world, several months, six months, or even a few months. Years are possible. The Church of the Seven Gods has even made long-term preparations. It was completely unexpected that the soldiers would find their goal in less than a month.

It can be said that this speed is a bit too fast, and it is too fast to exceed estimates.

"So, the transmission channel has not been fully constructed."

After hesitating for a while, Iger still tells the truth: "The last time I sent you to the past was a hasty move. The transmission channel was completely broken after that. Now we are building a new and more stable space-time channel, even if it is a big one. The Demon Tide is coming, and it will never be affected, but this channel has not been completely built, even if it is to send a person back, it is very reluctant."

"Would you like to wait a little longer? Five days later, the transmission channel will be officially opened, and even if it is to transmit your black dragon together, it will be easy."

"No." After hearing the news, Joshua frowned first, and then his eyes lit up as if thinking of something good. He shook his head and refused: "Ye Changmeng, I will send her back now, if possible. Mian, you can also ask why she resists our kindness so much."

"In that case, as you wish."

Now that Joshua has made a decision, the old pope will not refuse, the face of the old man in the realm of sacred glory gradually disappeared, and only the last word is left: "I am going to open the portal, get ready."

At this moment, two people from the holy city, a coachman and a woman, stood in front of the carriage and watched this scene in shock. They couldn't understand what was going on. The one who was so powerful was not inferior to it. Who is the strongest of the city masters? Who is he talking to? And why do you want to catch that ordinary dragonborn girl?

Because what Joshua and the old pope said just now were the lingua franca of Mycroft, let alone them, even Shiya couldn’t understand it. Grantia’s world and Mycroft did have some origins. The relationship between the two lingua franca is similar to French and Latin, but even so, it is not distinguishable by ordinary people without research.

And the next moment, they no longer thought about other things. In front of their eyes, in the center of the endless wilderness, there suddenly appeared ripples like flowing water, which stirred the space, causing a tiny gap to appear in the fluctuating. In the center, this gap is surrounded by layers of mysterious and complicated runes, allowing it to gradually expand over time, as if the buzzing sound of gears biting and running, making everyone present in a trance.

Next, a gap that could only be barely passed by one person opened, and Joshua was completely unaffected by the sound of time and space. He grabbed Hylya directly, and took the dragon whose name he didn’t know yet was like a chicken. The wing girl threw it with the fourth inheritance, causing the gap to merge suddenly, leaving only a little remnant the size of a fist.

To be honest, it seems a bit like alien kidnapping.

When Sylya, who looked shocked and at a loss, was thrown into the gap of time and space, such a thought suddenly popped out of Joshua's heart. Think about it, aren't they from another world aliens in some sense? For their own purposes, forcing the Fourth Heir as a local to go to their world is undoubtedly kidnapping. Seriously speaking, he, the count of the Northland and the Pope of the Church of the Seven Gods, is no match for the kidnappers who extorted the money. What difference.

But even if it’s kidnapping, it doesn’t matter. After the four major heritages are gathered, you can learn about the mystery of the initial fire. This is about the lives and deaths of hundreds of millions of people in Mycroft. If kidnapping is only a small amount, it can be resolved, Joe It doesn't matter if you do it a few more times.

"Then, trouble you."

The voice of the old pope came from the Mirror of the Holy Spirit that was activated again, and he could vaguely hear the angry voice like "Let me go back!" "You bastards!" The soldiers just ignored them as if they could not hear them. Iger said with some emotion: "I don't know whether the other side of the world is dangerous or not, and I don't know how your situation is now, but don't worry, it will be officially officially after five days at the earliest. The space-time channel of the world will be opened, and then the power of the Church of the Seven Gods can directly intervene in this world."

"Danger... definitely dangerous."

Joshua turned his head and looked at the southern wasteland. He thought of the more than 30 survivors in the wasteland. Five days later, the teleportation channel opened again. Those children don't have to stay in the wasteland and struggle for survival. He whispered: " The world is striding towards its end...if it wasn't for my mission...wait."

Having said this, the soldier suddenly kept silent. He frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly his heart suddenly became clear.

The fourth inheritor and the inherited object have been found by him and sent back. Just now, he threw the dragon wing girl into the gap of time and space and sent it to the old pope.

This means... there is nothing to restrain him now!

At this moment, Joshua’s mind flashed a lot. For example, when he saw the team of knights when he first came into this world, the residents of Arain Town still need to practice martial arts day and night under the protection of a heroic spirit. Ridu is searching for the necessary supplies in the dangerous jungle and wilderness. As the Titan of the Mountain, Urbani must be on guard at any time for possible necromantic attacks, even with the strength of its peak in the heavens, it is possible to fall.

This world is so dangerous and ruthless, without the slightest order and warmth. The shadow of death ended the possibility of all human survivors on the earth re-developing civilization, even the survivor towns in the southwestern wilderness have begun to gradually communicate with each other. No, but in the face of the surging army of dead shadows, only more than 30 children survived in the end.

Dilapidated towns, old diaries, lost children who don't know where to go, bloodthirsty undead, confused souls, and the once heroes who want to die.

The Fourth Inheritor kept silent about this. She must know the deepest secrets of the world, so she showed this attitude, but because of this, the warrior can be sure.

The world is sick, and the sickness is so serious that anyone who knows the truth dare not say it.

So someone needs to treat it.

Thinking of this, Josh Yahaha laughed, his hands clenched into fists, his joints tightened, and a loud thundering noise was heard. This laughter was transmitted so far that even the old pope at the other end of the space-time channel could clearly hear it.

The next moment, during Eagle’s doubtful questioning, the warrior stretched out his hand and pressed it to his heart, as if a tsunami-like life energy agitated, forcing a azure orb out of his body, Joshua did not hesitate. He threw the inherited thing that accompanied him through countless battles into the space-time gap that was only the size of a fist. Then, with a point of his index finger, his fiery vindictive air directly closed the space-time passage, cutting off the two worlds. Everything is connected.

"Joshua, what are you doing?!"

The old pope’s roar was transmitted to the soldier’s ears through the realm of sacred glory. He almost questioned: "Why did you separate the Azure Orb in your body?!"

"Gather the four great heritages, you should be able to find the mystery of the initial fire under the crown of the Pope." After losing the Azure Orb, Joshua's face turned pale, but because all the life energy contained in the Azure Orb has been taken by him He created the body of a Titan, so it did not affect his strength. After hearing Iger's words, Joshua smiled indifferently: "And I, naturally, do what I want to do."

After speaking, he raised his head and looked at the bleak dawn that was gradually rising, his smile gradually reduced, and his expression gradually became calm and heavy.

"A world suffers before my eyes."

"Thousands of sentient beings are weeping and howling before my eyes."

"How can I sit idly by and remain indifferent."

Qiao Xiu sighed deeply: "After coming to this world, I have always felt that my thoughts are not clear enough. Now that I want to come, in order to find the Fourth Inheritor as soon as possible, I really suppressed my heart and did a lot less. "

"But it's different now, I have no restrictions."

The warrior stretched out his right hand. This tempered, as if impenetrable right hand suddenly appeared a touch of metal. Although this hand seemed ordinary, all the matter within a radius of hundreds of meters, whether it was rocks or carriages, humans or The trees are all light out of thin air. Some lighter dust and rocks have begun to lose their gravity. Under the control of Joshua, they slowly float around the hand, like a satellite.

"I'm close to the realm of legend."

He said lightly: "No need to worry about my safety."

"Since the Fourth Inheritor refuses to say, then I will look for it myself. Find out the truth about the end of this world, and reverse it."

"This is the choice that should be made by the inheritors of sages."

At this time, Joshua began to laugh again. It was the smile that a soldier showed when his fighting spirit was burning. Next, he took the Holy Land into his arms, not listening to the old pope from the other side of the world. language.

Of course Joshua knew that this choice was very headstrong.

But the strong have the qualifications to be self-willed.

Bang, his whole body began to burn with a blazing fire, which was bright, like a sun, carrying a billowing wave of life instead of dawn, illuminating this dark and gloomy world.

That is the anger and light released by the soul-burner facing the world.

The other side of the world.

Mycroft Continent, the sacred mountain in the far sea, the Church of the Seven Gods.

Inside the Temple of Stars, the old Pope Igel crushed the mirror he used to communicate with an angry look. He took a deep breath and suppressed the anger deep in his heart.

This Joshua, he did not understand how important his existence is!

Throughout the millennium history of the Mycroft continent, there are not one thousand or several hundred people who have held the inheritance of the sages. The holders of the pure white rod alone include the seven popes of the past and several highly respected high priests. The double-edged swords of the Kaos family have been worn by all family members for a period of time, until the pair of double-edged swords have chosen their own master~www.novelmtl.com~ not to mention the days of being left out and not knowing how many people have passed. Green Baozhu.

But even with so many people, for so many years, only the Azure Orb in Joshua's hands has achieved something that no one else has ever been able to do to integrate the inherited things with themselves.

"He may be someone who has been truly recognized by the sage... His existence is more important than a dead thing!"

Holding the azure orb that exudes the temperature of the warrior's heart in his hand, the old pope's heart began to anger again, but as soon as he turned his head, he saw a silent and still bound red-haired girl. , Iger sighed, then reached out his hand to release the restraint on the opponent.

"Sorry, our actions were too reckless."

The voice from the soul appeared deep in Hilya’s heart. Although Pope Igor does not know the lingua franca of the Grantia world, he can transmit the voice from the soul and does not need to use any overnight language: "Although it is a bit abrupt , But now I can only ask you to live here temporarily. Joshua, the person who sent you here, has already gone to investigate the truth of your world, maybe he will solve those troubles."

"He? His strength is indeed very strong, but if we want to solve the disaster that our world has encountered... impossible."

When the voice was transmitted to the soul, the two parties in the conversation could barely conceal the true thoughts in their hearts. Hilya discovered this at the moment when the conversation just started, but at this time the girl in another world doesn’t matter anymore, she is light. Lightly telling part of the truth of this world.

"The shadow of the dead, the natural disaster, is the punishment that the sages drop."

She said in a calm and desperate tone: "My ancestors are just jailers guarding criminals, and the whole world is a cage for traitors." rw more wonderful novels, welcome to visit everyone's reading academy
