Soul of Burning Steel

Most of the people’s gazes were caught instantly, and they didn’t really look at the soldiers and the group. Now there are tens of thousands of people around the imperial capital. They don’t have time to pay attention to the strangers around, and a small number of them spend a little thought. The eyes of the people also subconsciously gathered on the number 3 and Brandon and others. m..

"Your Majesty, the God of Power, will not be late. He has been watching us."

After hearing Joshua’s joke, the blond swordsman immediately accepted a colder joke. Fortunately, there were no righteous believers around them, otherwise there would be a disturbance. After saying hello to each other, Joshua looked at the two in front of him.

Brandon and Verdani were wearing dresses with simple white backgrounds and black borders and dark blue. They seemed to be talking love words in front of the Northland Portal just now. They came after noticing that the soldiers and others had arrived. There was no one else around the two of them, and neither of the two daughters brought them. I thought they should stay in the territory and ask someone to take care of them.

Since Brandon advanced in the Moldovan ruins, he has spent a lot more time. It is no problem even living in Moldova for several months. The strictness of the Kaos family is only for those who have not met the requirements. Human, the blond swordsman, as a promising and unrelenting genius, now has some privileges, after all, the legend can not be reached by retreat.

Since Joshua had talked with Brandon and others before the celebration, they didn't talk much now—and there was nothing to say. Could you continue to sigh with emotion again how the fighters have advanced again? There was nothing to talk about with the Chosen people, and they left, so everyone didn't waste much time, and walked slowly towards the Sanshan Holy City on the top of the mountain.

"In order to prevent enemy raids. There are wide-area time-space anchors around the imperial capital that suppress all time-space spells. Except for Master Nostradamus who left a back door for himself, it is difficult for all mages to open the portal here, even if it is opened. , The time and space coordinates will also be messy, so to enter the imperial capital, you can only walk in."

For some reasons, Verdani's appearance was still the same as that of a girl around fourteen and fifteen. At a glance, it looked similar to Hotaru and No. 3 next to Joshua. The countess looked with interest and sat on the shoulder of the warrior. After the unfamiliar artificial intelligence who had always been expressionless, he began to introduce it again: "You should know all of these, but at the time of the celebration, because there were too many people, the master would open a small teleport shortcut to some people who paid. Those who start the price, it’s only now—"

At this time, Brandon took the conversation and said in a rather indifferent tone: "Now the master and the emperor have mysteriously disappeared, so we can only go over."

Although they said that Israel and Nostradamus were missing, the two of them didn't have any anxious tone at all. It seems that they should have known the whereabouts of the two people a long time ago. Joshua is not surprised. After all, one is a genius swordsman appreciated by the emperor. He is also the pillar of the imperial aristocracy. The next generation heir to the Kaos family must know some information, and the other is simply Nocha. Dan Mas’s students probably knew the whereabouts of their teacher from the beginning.

"So what's the situation inside the imperial capital now?"

Holding the firefly with one hand, and the other righting the No. 3 on the shoulder, the soldier asked with interest: "Have the nobles made any trouble? Is there any news in Morlai Palace?"

"That's not the case. The person who presides over the affairs of the palace today is a smart person. Empress Edna has done nothing, so no one dares to make any changes."

Verdani shrugged slightly. She squinted her eyes slightly and looked up to the top of the mountain: "But losing the mountain above her head, those people should also realize how wonderful it feels to be without a legend pressing on their head...I am not saying you."

Everyone chatted like this. Whether it was Joshua or the swordsman couple, they were very casual. They were clearly different from the aristocrats who looked nervous at the other portals, and this manner was also Immediately attracted the attention of other people, so many people bet on this group of people.

"Is the heir of the Kaos family and the Earl of Moldova..." a noble murmured. Although the relationship between Brandon and Verdani was not publicized, it is not a secret to the caring people, so he is not for two. The intimacy gesture was amazed, and then, the man's eyes swept the other team around the two men, his breath suddenly stagnated, and cold sweat broke out all over his body.

—Earl Radcliffe!

—The new legendary soldier!

When did he come? ! Why didn't everyone find out? ! The noble stepped back subconsciously for several steps, and then barely calmed down, but his movements were still noticed by others, so more and more people were curiously looking in the direction where the soldiers and others were. Their sight was not blocked by Brandon, so they shook all over and took a step back subconsciously.

It's Joshua Van Radcliffe! The horror demon who was rumored to have torn dozens of giant dragons empty-handed! When did he appear in the imperial capital? ! Many nobles who had clearly paid attention to this direction before seemed to have discovered the existence of Joshua, and they were shocked.

This peculiar response is actually not surprising.

In order not to be noticeable, Qiao Xiuya has been thinking about the secret method of hiding his own breath that the natural teacher said during the period after receiving the ambassadors of various countries, but no matter how he experimented, there will always be a halo-like power around his body. The pressure circle, in this coercive circle with a range of at least a few tens of meters, even a blue dragon like Sukras would express that he feels heart palpitations, let alone other ordinary people.

According to Sukras’ analysis, this is because the warrior’s coercion is too strong, as if a huge ice shelf over a hundred kilometers long fell into the sea, even if it was assimilated with the surrounding environment. It can't be eliminated in a short time, but this well-informed blue dragon gave another suggestion-since it can't integrate with the surrounding environment, it's better to close it completely.

The warrior feels that it is right. Assimilation with the surrounding environment is the way of the nature teacher, but he does not necessarily need to learn how to learn. Therefore, when Joshua builds the'shell' that encloses his body, he builds an extra layer for it. Mental protection that conceals one's own coercion and sense of existence. In this way, as long as he is not specifically watching, then even if he walks in the downtown area, it will not cause commotion, but this method is not good, that is, it is lifting this layer of restraint. After pressing the shell, the accumulated momentum will be released in an instant, causing a mental shock that is far more terrifying than usual.

The result of the experiment in the Great Aes Mountains was that the living creatures within a radius of tens of kilometers were either stunned or fleeing desperately. The Archbishop Atanis who accompanied him at the time said with emotion that if the fighters had this ability at the beginning, where would they be? What's the matter with the Kuroshio, even if the Warcraft is killing each other or even jumping off the cliff, it will definitely not dare to attack the Moldavian collar.

Although he was recognized at this time, Joshua did not care too much. He continued to chat with Hotaru, No. 3, and Brandon and his wife casually, and then walked slowly down the long stairs towards the top. The imperial capital walked.

The other nobles who were slowly breaking away from their spiritual deterrence also gradually recovered. An aristocrat who seemed to be in middle age shook his head, lifted his spirits, and then stared at the backs of the soldiers and others. Muttered: "Who is the girl sitting on the shoulders of the Northland Earl..."

Why are you so bold? And he is also holding one with his right hand. Is it the female companion of this celebration?

"It's too small..." beside him, a friend of this nobleman, a middle-aged nobleman with a slightly grayish hair on his temples, said to himself, using a voice that was so light that only one could hear him: "Does Earl Radcliffe like this?"

This is not a strange thing for the nobles. After all, you can get married at the age of fourteen in Mycroft. As long as you are willing, even the scandal is not counted, except for the priests in this regard. Apart from being a little reserved, no one would deliberately make things difficult for a big noble in this kind of thing, but the two middle-aged nobles felt that it was not their age.

"The body shape is too bad...just past the waist."

"No wonder I refused our invitation. I thought my daughter was just the right age, but I didn't expect it to be a bit older..."

And just as similar discussions arose, just as Joshua’s commentary was about to be killed, a mage in a white robe stood up. This mage is a mentor of the Imperial Capital Noble Spell School. He once followed Master Nostradamus to the Northland to build a time-space gate. He saw No. 3 when he was maintaining the top-level portal of the Lord’s Mansion, so he explained: "That The girl sitting on the shoulders of Lord Earl is actually not a real human being. She is an artificial soul that leads the protective circle in the main city of Moldavia. In other words, it is similar to the existence of the mage Tata Ling."

With this explanation, it’s easier to accept. Many nobles nodded. It’s not that they haven’t seen the tower spirits. There are even some powerful nobles who have such a family. These artificial souls will indeed interact with each other. Family Patriarchs are very close. After all, they are the key to ensuring the safe operation of certain secret locations or important formations. The reason why the Earl of the North also brought them to the celebration is probably because they wanted to remotely control the formation of the Moldavian collar. Prevent someone from attacking and destroying it, right? After all, I heard that the five-color dragons and the cultists have never given up revenge on the fighter who undermined their key plan.

Really cautious, it is worthy of being able to advance to the legendary existence at such an age. Everyone said with emotion.

Unlike most of the nobles who are thinking about whether to change a young girl from the clan as a marriage candidate, an aristocrat who looks like a dwarf blood and several middle-aged people around him who wear the family crest of the northwest aristocracy. When people saw Joshua’s figure, they were struck by lightning and stayed still.

These nobles from the Feltau family and the Suward family were talking about cooperation, but now they are all in a mood. After looking at each other, they immediately quietly retreat at the same time, preparing to find a hidden corner. Notify the family members who are already in the imperial capital to hide immediately and not to meet the northern earl.

Originally, this kind of ordinary spring celebration could not allow some great nobles and their descendants to leave the territory and come to the imperial capital belonging to His Majesty the Emperor. They have long been used to their authority in their own territory, so how can they like to pretend to be grandsons in front of Israel? But through some channels, many great nobles have already known that some amazing things may happen in this celebration. Although they don’t know what it is, there is no doubt that if they miss it, they are likely to slow down on some important events. A slow step is a slow step. In order to prevent this, many great nobles may not come in person, but they have sent the second person or heir in the family to watch. The Fertau family and the Suward family are naturally not. exception.

But now that the soldiers appeared, the two families who had had a feast with Joshua had to change their plans. Some nobles in the noble residences of the imperial capital sensed the notification of the communication device in their arms and looked down. , And then they all changed their faces, and then apologized to the other nobles who were attending the small party and left immediately.

The atmosphere of the entire imperial capital has undergone some minor changes due to the appearance of Joshua.

At this time, the soldiers and the group had entered the imperial capital. Except for the gate of the city, none of the guards along the way came up to check their identity—Joke, the next Patriarch of the Kaos family, the Countess of Moldova, and the most famous recently Legendary powerhouses, they are going to check this kind of big man only when they lose their minds.

"Go directly to the main hall of Morlai Palace, we have a special place to watch the classics."

On the way, Brandon said so. He glanced at the streets of the imperial capital, then shrugged and said: "You have also seen it. Now the atmosphere in the city is very depressing. Except for tourists, most of the locals stay at home."

Joshua did feel this. Now the celebration is about to begin, but Israel and Nostradamus have not yet returned. Although most people know that His Majesty the Emperor will definitely come back before the celebration, but this The feeling of worrying about gains and losses still makes them nervous, and there are also many guys who have done some secret matters in the months of Israel’s absence. They are also panicked. They are not sure whether their actions will be affected. Your Majesty found out, but if they were really found out, then their family would definitely not end well.

There is nothing to say about everything along the way. This year’s celebration is indeed much duller than before. Even the tourists on the street felt the atmosphere and did not dare to talk and laugh. The soldiers and the group came directly to Mo. Erlai Palace, then was led to the central hall by the attendants.

The Spring Festival is actually a long-standing ceremony. It is rumored that it was a ceremonial sacrifice to the earth from the previous era before the seven gods. At that time, people would carve four patterns as'seeds' and seedlings. The flawless gems of'grown plants' and'wheat grains' are placed in the palms of the four arms of the Mother Earth statue. The statue of the Mother Earth God also has special attention. It must be made of natural iron ore and polished and carved with stone tools. It is necessary to place soil from all over the place under the feet of the mother god, so that the goddess will shelter the place where the soil comes from.

Nowadays, the celebration is not so elaborate. Most of the time, it only requires the emperor to come on stage, and according to traditional rituals, it is enough to enshrine the ground under his feet.

After arriving at the central hall, Hotaru looked around curiously, and No. 3, who had always been peaceful, turned his head and looked around again and again, looking very interested in this strange but gorgeous decoration.

"Joshua, why don't we decorate the Lord's Mansion like this?"

Pointing to the luxurious and exquisite reliefs on the side of the main hall and the conspicuous crystal decorations on it, No. 3 lowered his head slightly, and whispered in Joshua’s ear: "The decorations at home are really too depressing, why would you like that? ?"

"...Why should my lord's mansion be more gorgeous than the royal palace?"

Most of the buildings in Moldavia were designed by priests under the powerful gods four hundred years ago. At that time, the ancestors of the Radcliffe family had friendship with the archbishop of St. Laurent’s Cathedral, so the lord The mansion is also full of the solemn religious style unique to that era. Generally speaking, it is extremely ascetic and suppressed. There are majestic but not beautiful sculptures everywhere, and there are primitive weapons hanging on the walls. Because of his personal hobbies, the soldiers also added a lot of first-level ornaments of their prey in the hall. As soon as a stranger enters, they will be frightened by the ferocious expressions of various beasts before they die. The atmosphere is more than the original one. It is even more depressed dozens of times.

It is also a loss that the servants and maids of the lord's mansion are tough, otherwise they would have been insane and collapsed.

The time is approaching noon, and all the items needed for the spring celebration ceremony have been prepared. The number of people in the hall is quite small, there are only a dozen people, but they are all nobles who have received special invitations and powerful professional spellcasters. When Joshua chatted with No. 3, they all noticed the existence of Joshua and others. However, because the atmosphere at this time was not good for greetings, many people made up their minds and prepared to wait until the ceremony was over. Have a good chat with this promising legendary warrior, and make a good relationship.

Of course, you can also introduce your own daughter by the way. Many people who felt that this legendary fighter seemed not as terrifying as the rumors thought so.

As time passed, with the sound of footsteps from the palace, several members of the royal family also came to the hall one by one. Through the introduction of Brandon beside him, Joshua also learned the identity of the other party.

The six princes and the three princes, the two siblings who came from the same mother hand in hand, followed by the blond and blue-eyed seventh prince Alva and the inconspicuous second prince Di Moore walking slowly, this The atmosphere between the two people is not as good as the previous siblings. Although the distance is not far, there seems to be an invisible barrier between them.

—It doesn’t seem to come in order. Joshua thought so, and then the fourth prince appeared next. This tall young man with a trace of Israel’s shadow had a heavy complexion and seemed unable to hide the things in his heart. He always looked anxiously towards the vacancy. The chairman of, that is, the position reserved for Israel.

The emperor's long absence not only caused the ups and downs of the nobles in the imperial capital, but also made the members of the royal family anxious.

And Verdani suddenly said, "Hey, is Queen Edna also participating in the celebration this time?"

She looked at the last slender woman with silver hair and golden eyes, and said in a lowered voice: "It's really strange. She hasn't participated in a similar celebration for at least 12 years."

"Your Majesty will not appear this time. She must come out to suppress the situation." Brandon felt nothing strange. He said to himself: "It seems that the five emperors and the eldest prince are still not coming this time. Not surprisingly, April is also the time for the assessment of the Guantian White Pagoda, and the little actions of the Duke of the Eastern Province must have caused the great prince to suffer."

Qiao Xiuya did not think so much. After remembering the appearance of these people, he stopped paying attention, but he did not pay attention to other people, and other people would pay attention to him. Although the warrior with No. 3 and Hotaru has a sense of existence because His own blockade was greatly reduced, but there were only a dozen people in the entire hall, and most of them were waiting, focusing on this low-key legendary powerhouse.

"Is he coming from the real body?" Some nobles are already a little restless. They all know how powerful the real body of the legendary strong man is. Although the control of the warrior is worthy of trust, it will definitely be in the palace of Morlai. There are corresponding countermeasures, but they are still a little worried about their lives.

And several princes and princes, even the queen who finally came to the hall, also noticed the soldiers on the side. Empress Edna swept across Joshua and Brandon's group with normal eyes, and then waited in her seat. The time has come. The seventh prince Alva and the second prince Di Moore both glanced at the soldier with a strange look, but they did not speak, quietly closing their eyes to rest.

The fourth prince, like Empress Edna, just glanced at it and stopped paying attention, but he secretly moved away from Joshua a few steps. The three princes and the sixth princes were whispering in the corners. Once these people stood in the hall, they were vaguely divided into camps with the surrounding nobles.

"It seems that Earl Radcliffe has not changed his camp because of the progress of his strength... It is strange that he is still with the Kaos family group." This is what the three emperors said.

"Don't talk too much, of course the person who can become a legend is not something you and I can measure... Regardless of his camp, try to build a relationship with him as much as possible and never make a mistake." This is what the Sixth Prince said, his voice is very Qing, almost only moving his lips, probably only the sister who is familiar with him can hear: "My think tank and I have studied him very deeply. As long as this earl doesn't mess with him, he is a good talker. Give more gifts. Save some friendship and control your subordinates. Don’t let them provoke this person or provoke the person in his territory—forget it, as long as it is from the North, don’t provoke. People from the Ward family."

The communication between the two is very concealed, and it is difficult to detect even the strong will, but for Joshua, it seems to be ringing in the ears. He glanced sideways at these two, and he could even guess that this was probably what they told him specifically.

People who are literate are really great, UU reading www. uukanshu.com deserves to be taught by the royal family, but he didn't come here today to have a relationship with such a few young people.

He raised his head and looked in the direction where Empress Edna was, and if he felt something, the queen also raised his head and looked at the warrior.

Empress Edna... This woman is definitely not simple. It is precisely because of the handwriting she left behind in her previous life that the Seventh Prince, who had never inherited the throne at all, would become one of the most powerful contenders for the throne, but she was in Israel in the previous life. He disappeared inexplicably after his death, and I don't know why.

Although it was rumored that the queen was assassinated by someone, the soldiers felt that this should not be the case. The first point was completely impossible. Even now, Joshua could see that this woman was suppressed in her heart. Ambition, not to mention the second point. As a legendary warrior, he can see the identity of the opponent's extremely powerful at a glance. The entire empire, except for Israel and Master Nostradamus, really does not have anyone. Can kill this seemingly weak queen.

Time passed by, and noon was approaching. Seeing that Israel was too late, even the people in the hall were long-standing great figures, but the atmosphere began to have a hint of commotion.

But whether it was Empress Edna, Joshua, Brandon, and others, they were all calm, not at all surprised.

The real big shots should have appeared at the end.

Clang, clang, the bell in the Morlai Palace rang, noon had arrived, and some riots had begun in the hall, not to mention the other people and tourists waiting outside.

But Joshua looked up.

In his perception, the entire sky above the Sanshan Holy City has seen extreme time and space fluctuations. The fluctuations are so grand and familiar to him, making the soldiers very kind.

coming.

He thought so.
