Soul of Burning Steel

The spring festival has arrived.

In the St. Clair’s Cathedral, the old archbishop rang the ancient “Xingyue Clock”. A melodious and crisp sound came from this. The melodious ringing echoed in the entire imperial capital, civilian areas, aristocratic areas, commercial areas, and royals. In the square, all the bell towers in the three-mountain holy city of Nuo Da began to ring as if they were responding, letting the sound that came into the hearts of the people gradually spread to the far distance that couldn't be seen.

It is a traditional custom of the Northern Empire and even the entire Mykrov Continent to ring the bell of the season to welcome the arrival of the new season. Because at the time, only the rulers and clergy of various places had knowledge, so that ordinary people could also be able to do so. Knowing what season is today and what should be done, they will ring the big bell on the day when the corresponding season begins, hold celebrations, worship the gods, and advertise the corresponding knowledge.

The sound of Ji Zhong is unique. The sound of each big bell has been blessed by the seven gods, and contains solemn and sacred power. When the three long and one short bells that mean spring are ringing, they are fresh and full of vitality. The power of the spread along the ripples of the sound waves, blessing everyone present.

Dang, the first melodious bell sounded, and the power from the gods blessed all beings. Originally, this event would usher in bursts of cheers and prayers, and the imperial emperor would also walk out of the hall amidst this cheers and climb Going up to the high platform, offering sacrifices to the earth underneath as the lord of a country, to end this short but sacred ceremony, but now, the people who should have been excited and shouting all invariably remained silent, and millions of people in the imperial capital lifted it up. The head looked at the sky above the three mountains with shocked and puzzled eyes.

--what is that? Everyone thought in confusion.

At this time, a dark blue crack with the size of several hundred meters appeared in the high sky above the imperial capital. It was still gradually expanding, and it had become a giant across the three-mountain holy city, accompanied by clearly visible time and space. Ripples, the chaotic and chaotic veins in the void began to appear. Many people closed their eyes subconsciously when they saw the scenery in the void, and bowed their heads and howled in pain. This is because their brains cannot accept this completeness with three-dimensional space-time. Different strange scenery.

Morlai Palace, the great nobles, professionals, and the royal family all left the palace. They stood on the open space outside the palace. Most of them looked up in the air as if they were slowly opening eyes. With the diamond-shaped space-time cracks, the pupils couldn't help but shrink.

"That's—" An old mage wearing a mage robes and a high-level coat of arms of the Royal Mage Association exclaimed: "It's the guild leader's magic wave!"

"It's Master Nostradamus!"

And following the old man’s exclamation, the bell tower in the city also began to ensemble-Dang, the second long bell sounded, the space-time cracks in the sky above Gaoju Emperor's capital stopped spreading, and the huge space-time cracks began to appear in circles around them. The runes of, they expanded rapidly, forming a magnificent and complex magic pattern, hundreds of meters, thousands of meters long, lines containing huge power across the void, forming a conspicuous three-dimensional above the imperial capital—— Even more than the magic circle, and with the formation of the magic circle, the chaotic void scenery in the cracks of time and space was suddenly cleared.

It was as if the boiling oil pan had cooled, the tumbling void became calm under the comfort of a force, and the dizzying chaotic scene became clear bit by bit, clang, the third melodious bell. It sounded, in the vision of all the people who were still looking up, beyond the void, a huge, as if fortress-like existence began to emerge.

This is a huge fortress composed entirely of silvery metal cold light. It is an extremely regular icosahedron. Each face is engraved with the most advanced observation array that can even penetrate time and space. It stands outside the world. Looking at the chaotic scenes in the multiverse lonely in the void of the sky, countless chaotic time-space turbulences want to approach it, but under the influence of magic, they dissipate like a phantom.

"Void Star Observatory!"

At this time, all the nobles or professionals with some insights could not help but exclaim, causing riots in the film. They knew what this steel fortress was at the other end of time and space. It was the era of the four emperors three hundred years ago. The great building just completed means that the farthest fortress in the empire can directly observe the void and recognize the wonders of the multiverse!

When the wizards realized that the stars above their heads were not stars, but huge worlds, they could no longer suppress their desire to recognize the multiverse. This desire turned into flames. The burning empire comes from the hearts of all the aspiring spellcasters in other human gathering places. After hundreds of years of hard construction and struggle, the four man-made buildings rooted in the void stand in chaotic time and space. Unlike demiplanes, these buildings directly face the chaotic flow of time and space and can obtain first-hand information in the true sense. They are the outposts for the civilization of Mycroft to observe the multiverse.

But now, this means that the wonders of the supreme masterpiece of civilization can stand up in the turbulent flow of the void. The buildings alongside the kingdoms of the gods appear so clearly in front of the masses of the imperial capital, separated from the distant and stable void with everyone. Look at each other.

"Look! What is that!"

In the shocked silence, a person suddenly broke the silence. It was a young mage in the neighborhood. He also had the coat of arms of the Royal Mage Association, but he was just an assistant. But this young man But he was the first to notice the error in the stable flow of time and space. With a voice that was almost roaring, he raised his hands and yelled: "There! There!"

Not only him, but many powerful people have noticed the difference in that space-time flow, but they did not make a sound, but suppressed the vibration in their hearts and watched calmly.

And what they saw was a figure.

A figure walks between the space-time cracks in the sky above the Void Star Observatory and the Imperial Capital, heading to the world of Mykrov. He walks slowly, clearly located in the void, but as if he is stepping on a solid ground. This ambiguous figure, who can't see his appearance at all, makes the void stand still and the chaotic time and space is stable. This power is even transmitted. In the world of Mykrov, the wind over the imperial capital also solidified.

Because the space freezes like ice, everything falls into tranquility and loneliness, and the bright sunlight is distorted and creeps under this figure.

clang--------

The fourth short chime echoed between the imperial capitals. It should have terminated quickly, but it became slow and long under an inexplicable force, just like time is stretched, space is expanded, short and short. Soon at this time a relative reversal took place, becoming slow and long.

Joshua stared at the void, different from the surprised No. 3, different from the curious and incomprehensible Hotaru, and Brandon, Verdani, and the others who seemed to have known something but were still shocked by it. Nobles are different from professionals. His eyes swept across the world, and then concentrated on the vague figure.

The power of time and space flowed through his body, and the light was twisted and deviated all over him. The concept of “mundane” was rapidly moving away from the old body that was rapidly sublimating and transforming, and a magnificent and impenetrable power began Reshape a body named'Legend'.

"Nostradamus."

The warrior said softly, his eyes can break through all the fog, Joshua and the old man on the other side of the void looked at each other. At this time, various visions in the imperial capital were frequent, all the portals were closed at the same time, and the magical elements seemed to be approaching. A great existence of Li was frozen in place, the stones slowly suspended in the air, and then weirdly flying in the air. He realized this completely different from him, but the same powerful and mysterious power, and then smiled.

"Congratulations."

And that fuzzy human figure has also reached the edge of the crack in time and space.

"despair--"

There was a slight sound of footsteps, which made everyone feel palpitations. The fuzzy human figure stepped on within the scope of Mycroft's world, and suddenly a circle of clear and extremely blue force ripples began to appear in the air like water ripples. The waves rippled and spread out in all directions.

At this moment, it was extremely vague, as if a human form composed entirely of layers of twisted time and space fluctuations, had also regained the human form.

This is an old mage wearing a white mage robe. He is tall and tall, as if the eyes of the star version are filled with powerful magical brilliance. Because of his existence, all the free elements in the entire imperial capital area are in silence, as if creeping to show surrender. , The mage below the Extremely Yi level even realized in horror that he had lost control of the surrounding elements

With the ringing of four bells, the spring has come, and everyone can clearly see the face of this old man who has crossed the void. It is huge, as if the time and space cracks that can swallow a city are slowly closing behind him, huge steel The fortress and the Void Observatory were gradually obscured by the chaotic time and space turbulence. The people on the ground were panicked because of their physical instincts, but then they were appeased by a gentle mental fluctuation and returned to calm.

"Biography...Legend...Master Nostradamus..."

Qiao Xiuya could hear that a great nobleman beside him uttered these two simple but extraordinary characters in a trembling and awe-inspiring voice. The man who manages the veins of mana spar and ranks among the Earl of Real Power The nobleman should have been knowledgeable and not surprised at everything, but at this time he couldn't help lowering his head respectfully to show respect.

Unlike Joshua, who is next to him, first of all, the fighters are not advancing in their eyes, but they also block their sense of existence. They are too young and have not been famous for decades, so you nobles He will be afraid, even to please him, but it is difficult to express real awe from the bottom of my heart.

But the old man in front of him is different.

Master Nostradamus stood calmly in the air. The once old body has been reshaped under the fluctuations of time and space, forming his transcendent body composed entirely of magic and spatial fluctuations. He has conceived dozens of this body. In years, it has been unable to achieve because of the insufficient concentration of magic power between the world and the void and various constraints, but now because of the Great Demon Tide, the troubles of my students have been relieved, because my future ideal experiment has been initially achieved in the Northland, so The old man, who had swept away all the troubles, headed toward this path of grasping his own'destiny' without hesitation.

At the same time, Joshua did not continue to look at Nostradamus, who was in mid-air, using the legendary power to replace Nostradamus who held the Spring Festival celebrations for His Majesty the Emperor. Instead, he turned his head back and looked at herself without surprise. The tall figure walking slowly behind him.

I don't know when it will appear. The ruler of the empire with dark blond hair nodded slightly and motioned to the warrior to follow him.

Joshua shrugged. He gently placed No. 3 sitting on his shoulders on the ground, but he still made a slightly dull voice. He withstood the firefly and the artificial intelligence girl not to run around, and then remained still The young girls who were immersed in the vision of a legendary mage's new birth had little strength to say goodbye, and left side by side with the emperor who had already turned his head and left.

Among the people present, the only Queen Edna who noticed this scene bit her lip slightly. She frowned, but she noticed that the second prince Di Moore who was not far away seemed to be aware of it, and she was immediately wary of him. Better.

In an unmanned garden path in Morlai Palace, two legendary warriors were talking loudly.

"Teacher, he needs prestige." Walking on the gray path paved with solid stone slabs, Israel raised his head and looked at the magnificent but calm imperial capital sky before, his voice with a trace of emotion: "Four Ten years ago, or even earlier, the teacher did many, many things for the entire empire and for me. No one can match his credit. I don’t even know how to repay him."

Joshua walked side by side with the imperial emperor. He listened to this someone's student, and the master of this land told the past in a nostalgic tone.

"A great achievement? No reward? Someone always tells me that Nostradamus' achievements have reached a peak. He broke the three plans of the orc shaman army and almost blocked it with one person. The enemy made several secret and extremely sneak attacks. He helped me--that is, the imperial emperor defeated other princes to win the highest position of the empire, and he also trained hundreds of noble civilian mages."

"He presided over the construction of a transmission network linking all the empires, which made many unruly nobles unwilling to calm down their thoughts. He presided over the construction of the latest generation of the imperial capital's wide-area space-time anchoring array, and left a back door for himself."

When talking about this, Israel’s tone was ridiculed: “At that time, many people offered admonitions, saying that Nostradamus was ill-intentioned and attempted to subvert the imperial royal family—not surprising that they thought so. After all, the teacher has the possibility of advancing to the legend at any time. If he really mobilizes all his influence, then it is a certain thing not to subvert the empire and hurt the royal family's vitality, so they want me to give the teacher to death, after all, he has already It’s useless. Even if the teacher doesn’t make any moves after finishing what he wants to do, he rests at ease and plays chess with me, but they say they are trying to hide in the dark and plan a conspiracy."

The ruler of the empire stopped. The warrior noticed that the two had arrived in front of a palace. Israel glanced at the quaint and mottled stone walls on the outer layer of the palace, showing a nostalgic smile: "Is this still In the palace where the prince lived, the teacher is here to explain the transcendent way to me. Although he is a mage, he has long understood that magic and vitality are actually one body, and the two are just different derivations of some high-level power."

"Joshua."

He turned his head and looked at the warrior with an inexplicable light in his eyes. The emperor said: "Someone always tells me that the way of the emperor is lonely. I must make many sacrifices for the power in my hand and the throne under me. Since then, there can be no family affection, friendship, love and respect. Everyone will serve my interests, and I can’t trust anyone. I must treat everyone as subordinates and tools, so as to control a promise. A big empire allows its own rights to continue."

"But I want to say: Fuck."

Israel Diamond ~www.novelmtl.com~The contemporary emperor of the Northern Empire, the hero who defeated the orcs, said so, his face was calm: "I am a legend, who I trust is my business, how should I be The emperor is up to me."

"My right comes from my strength, and it has nothing to do with that shit-fighting argument-right is just a derivative of my punch."

This sound is loud and loud, perhaps in the life of the emperor, there is no sentence more true than this sentence.

The corners of Qiao Xiu's mouth were slightly raised, he narrowed his eyes and said softly: "It's a wayward statement."

"This is a matter of course."

And Israel snorted coldly, as if the soldier was saying something nonsense. He raised his head and looked at the sky again, his eyes could indeed penetrate the clouds and the sky, and stared at the stars in the sky: "Secretary Radcliffe, see you After passing through the memories of the gods of the Glory Era, I have understood many things. For example, the power between the world is so boring and boring, and the stars outside the sky are so vast and vast. I want to change the world, and the promotion teacher wants to promote. The revolution of China has given everyone, rich or poor, high or low, the possibility of reaching the extraordinary."

"Even if this will shake your emperor's position, is this true?"

The soldier asked.

"I'm boring to ask." Israel shook his head, and he asked simply and directly: "I would like to believe you, Secretary Radcliffe, and would you help me?"

The emperor stretched out his hand.

Joshua watched him, watched the man whose destiny was changed by him, watched the man who was ready to change the destiny of this world, watched this ambitious man who intended to create a great revolution outside his destiny.

The soldier grinned and showed a happy smile.

He took his hand.

"Extremely happy."
