Soul of Burning Steel

Unlike the Moldavian leader who rejoiced in welcoming his master back, a disturbing undercurrent was raging in the center of the distant empire, in the palace of the imperial capital Morlai.

The Helgamos Empire, ruled by the Diamond family, has experienced nearly 800 years of wind and rain. It is one of the oldest regimes in the Mykrov Continent. This huge country called the Northern Empire by everyone is actually not always stable. In the long life, there were several times to falter, close to the moment of division or even the extinction of the country, and the most recent time was when the war between the empire and the orcs was intensified more than 20 years ago.

At that time, the first emperor died, and the current emperor has just taken the throne. The number of frontline beasts has achieved great success. The black smoke lit up by the shaman army burning the city can even be seen in the Sanshan Holy City. Several princes and princes peeped at this supreme throne and missed their hearts. , More than ten powerful aristocrats in the east sat indifferently watching the power of the northwest aristocrats and the royal family were weakened, looking forward to the day when they would be replaced. For people at that time, the collapse of the Northern Empire was already a matter of time. The people at the bottom were complaining about heavy taxes for years. Nearly half of the powerful aristocrats intended to rebel. Even the royal family had many traitors. They planned to cede the land and negotiate with the orcs. To sit in that position for yourself.

As long as there is one failure, all this is no longer a guess, but a fact in history. However, Israel did not give them a chance.

Behind the Palace of Morlai, in the quiet royal garden, there was the sound of birds flapping their wings. With dozens of white pigeons flying up and down, one could see that among these birds was an unusually young-looking one. The young man was carrying a bag of bird food, smiling and feeding the white pigeons.

The sixth prince Adrian stood in the center of the garden that belonged to the Diamond family alone. He carefully took out the bird food that he carefully prepared from the bag in his hand, and then distributed the bird food with corn kernels and wind feather grass as the main ingredients. The non-stop bird, he has a pair of purple eyes that look like gems, and his long dark golden hair is neatly trimmed and hangs down to his waist. Adrian's appearance is a bit feminine, a bit like what he used to be. The mother and concubine of the first beauty in the empire, but not so feminine.

He has undoubtedly inherited the best blood of his father Israel and his mother. Whether it is personal strength or sensitivity to politics, the sixth prince has always performed well, if not because he has been assisting his sister. If you never meet with foreign ministers alone, maybe many nobles will try to invest in this seemingly infamous prince. In fact, Adrian's only shortcoming is probably because he is too young. Many people think that if he and his sister's age are swapped, the complicated and confusing situation of the royal family will become clearer.

Of course Adrian knew about this, but he never cared that these rumors were definitely spread out deliberately. He just stood calmly in the center of the garden to feed the pigeons, as if no dark tide existed.

This kind of leisure time has not passed for a long time. While sprinkling a lot of bird food, the Sixth Prince absently remembered the past, the few stable times in the past ten years.

When Adrian was born, it happened to be the second large-scale battle between the northern empire and the orcs in the Northwest Plain. At that time, his father as the emperor was not there, and the grandfather of the first powerful nobleman in the west was not there, and even the entire Morley There are not a few men in the palace. All the guards and guard knights have followed their lord to the front line. It is his sister, the three emperors, who helped the doctor to give birth to his dystocia.

At that time, the royal family was struggling. After losing his mother, he and his sister lived in a tight life and depended on each other. The frontline orcs are coming fiercely. Under the leadership of the new generation of Golden Horde, the Royal Orcs, which has already standardized the army, swept all the discordant tribes on the Tatarus Plateau, and planned to break the empire in the northwest of Thomas. The canyon’s guard fortress drove straight into the hinterland of the empire, laying an official base for the orcs in Mycroft. The ambitious nobles in the rear held heavy soldiers, and they were happy to see what they could do, and they would immediately stir up turmoil in the rear as soon as the royal family was defeated.

However, nothing happened. The great Israel is invincible, and the legendary strong Dragon Cavalry shook the whole world. All conspiracies and tricks fell silent under absolute power, and peace came quickly.

Of course, reality is not a fairy tale. After the war, everyone can live happily. In fact, for some people, the war has just begun. The vast land left by the orcs, the twelve large mines, the grasslands that can cultivate hundreds of thousands of cattle, horses and beasts, and the beasts of war with the stone rhinoceros. The Tatarus Plateau, whoever can own these, whose family will have the advantage in the next few hundred years, now, the empire has recovered a little bit in the peaceful development of several years, and the liquidation and the reorganization of the empire’s wealth are also About to start.

Filter out all the irrelevant information, this is the truth behind all the undercurrents. Adrian, who saw through all of this, didn't mean to get involved, it was the revenge and revolution that belonged to his father.

Tap, tap, tap. The sound of gentle and regular footsteps came from the garden path, causing the pigeons that had been leisurely pecking to scatter vigilantly. The six princes looked up in the direction of the path with some helplessness. He raised his head in surprise, and looked at his brother,

"Alva." Nodded and called the name of the only person younger than himself in the royal family. Adrian's tone remained unchanged, as calm as ever: "Is it here to exercise."

"...Yes." Somewhat unexpectedly, he saw another emperor brother in the garden where he had always come, and Alva cautiously answered. He didn't intend to communicate more with this brother who had always been reticent, but turned a fork in the road and walked in the other direction of the garden.

And Adrian silently watched the opponent leave. He could smell the other person's body and see the breath lines entwining Alva's body. He knew that it was the smell of the father, the sixth prince could smell it, and his younger brother had just come out of the royal study.

Everyone has their own advantages. If the superiority of the grand prince is due to a grandfather of the duke, then the second prince and the fifth prince are due to their own strength. The four princes could not fail from the beginning, because his mother clan was almost completely wiped out in the orc war, he stood at the commanding heights of ‘no enemy’ from the beginning, as long as he did not die, no one could move him.

And the seventh prince, his younger brother, may be precisely because of his young age.

After sighing a little, Adrian waved his hand, and all the birds that had scattered all flew in front of him from the woods, returning to the previous noise.

Not because of his father's favor, but because of the choice.

The current Morlai Palace is full of intrigues and intrigues. There are countless factions in the army, nobles, and wizards’ associations. It is simply annoying. Although the local aristocratic forces dare not obey the imperial power because of the emperor’s strength, they are contrary to the imperial power. It is also commonplace. The large-scale water conservancy project and the supporting magic waterwheel that were originally ordered last year have not been implemented until now. Although there are certain objective factors, the local aristocracy has not cooperated from the beginning. The core reason. In the past, in order to maintain the stability of the country, even the legendary powerhouse could not give orders at will, because every little nobleman had a backer. After the trace, who knows whether half of the empire will fall into turmoil.

But now it's different. In the past, a legend could not suppress all the objections, so what about the three now?

Thinking of the rumored news about apprenticeships and disciples in the palace, even Adrian was envious. Whether it was Master Nostradamus or the Northern Earl, their existence itself is the biggest backer, not at all. Inferior to the emperor’s patron, a good relationship with these powerhouses is more important than any family background. These three people work together to transform an empire, even if it is to transform the entire world, it is only a matter of time.

Master Nostradamus is good to see. Adrian can go to the Royal Mage Association to visit him at random. The Earl of the North needs to choose a special time to visit, but it happens that the power behind him has an industry. Want to cooperate with each other, now just has the opportunity.

On the side, at the other end of the garden, the sound of flesh hitting the air came one after another. Adrian knew that Alva was trying to temper himself. Since returning from traveling with his father and the second emperor, he has worked harder. Perhaps he really wanted to become the disciple of Earl Radcliffe.

It's a pity, if you hadn't already had a transcendental mentor, you would definitely have to give it a try.

Although thinking so, Adrian didn't care too much. These things competing for advantages and paving the way for the future inheritance of Datong have never had anything to do with him. Wanting to meet the Northland Earl is simply because of curiosity and an industry that can try to cooperate.

If the advantages of the princes and princes are very obvious, and they are magnificent, then the advantages of him and his sister are very strange, because from the beginning, they participated in this decision with the mentality of'it doesn't matter if you lose'. Future competition.

"You said so, teacher'Changfeng'."

Whispering to himself softly to the slightly flowing air around him, Adrian narrowed his dark purple eyes, and at this moment, accompanied by a slight magic flash, a petite half-cyan human figure with a pale cyan body. Then appeared on his shoulder, the wind elemental fairy "Chang Feng" seemed to like this young man who seemed to be a little feminine, but actually had her own thoughts in her heart. She stood on the shoulders of the Sixth Prince and patted with her little hand. He patted the other party on the cheek and said confidently: "Of course! As long as we are there, no matter how frustrated you are, you can go to Fairy Town to play with us!"

"That's right, you said you want to meet that young legendary soldier?" As he said, the goblin's thoughts turned around again, Chang Feng lighted his little head with gusto, muttering to himself Said: "It's just right, there are cards about him that haven't been designed yet...you must go!"

"Of course." said with a slight smile. Adrian knows that this is his confidence to fear all changes. With the help of this lively goblin mentor whom he accidentally knew in childhood, he and his sister will never lose everything no matter how much they fail.

Rather, it is better to lose.

Deep thoughts are brewing in the deepest part of my heart. The sixth prince closed his eyes. The bird food bag in his hand was empty, but the flying white doves did not leave. Instead, they continued to fly by his side. Surrounded by many birds, Adrian held it. He clenched his fists and couldn't help showing a slightly feminine smile.

Because only when she loses, her innocent, cheerful, and sometimes really stupid silly sister will give up her dream of becoming a queen, lose all support and help, and have to live with herself, or even walk away. End of the World.

Only in this way, she will never be able to escape his palm.

At the other end of the empire, in the mansion of the Lord of Moldavia in the North, a small meeting has begun.

"You can't keep calling the ball of light."

Sitting on the large comfortable chair in the hall, Joshua felt the softness of the velvet cushions behind him, and then set the tone of the discussion with a simple sentence: "I have said it many times,'it' is intelligent life, you can't grow old Use it as a toy."

"Huh!" Standing in the hall at this time, the silver-haired girl holding a beige ball of light subconsciously exclaimed all her life, Hotaru lowered her head, looked at the warm sphere she was holding on her chest, and blinked in shock: " Are you wise?!"

"Bells jingle!"

The ball of light made a protest sound, but no matter how it was heard, it was just a wind chime, but Joshua seemed to understand. He nodded in agreement and said: "The ball of light is right."

firefly:"?!"

"It's fine for the master to choose a name."

On the side, Hei Rin, who was comforting the gloomy because the ball of light was taken away, offered a constructive suggestion. He whispered: "After all, it was brought back by you...What did the ball of light just say by the way?"

"I'm here to name?" Without answering Lin's question, Joshua's attitude was somewhat indifferent. He said to himself: "I personally think that white is better--it happens to be black..." But just now Halfway through, the ball of light uttered a series of jingle bells, which seemed to be expressing strong opposition.

"So if it is called Ling, it always feels a bit repetitive with Rin." Not paying attention to the opposition of the ball, the soldier continued to think: "How do you say Ding Dong? Although there are more names with the same name."

The ball of light seemed to be completely angry-suddenly a translucent pure beam of light was shot out by it, shining on Joshua's body. However, although this beam of light is full of momentum, it is actually not lethal. Not to mention a smile on his face, he looks very comfortable fighter. Affected by the aftermath, the entire wooden chair seems to be rejuvenated and has a tendency to germinate and take root. , And the young girls on the side couldn't help laughing.

But just after a while, Joshua shook his head, intending to stop the ball of light for a while. When he didn't really let the chair sprout, he suddenly frowned, then slowly sat up from the chair, looking serious.

Upon seeing this, Hotaru, Rin, and Hei were shocked. Qi Qi raised their heads to look at their master. The ball of light seemed to be a little shocked. The beam of light shot out intermittently at first. Regarding this, Joshua gave serious orders. : "Don't stop, continue."

After receiving the instruction, the ball of light continued to shoot light, and at the same time, Joshua raised his right hand, and he stared at the palm of his right hand, as if the carved palm prints were clear and there was no abnormality. But after a while, under the light of the ball of light, another silver radiance spread, illuminating the existence in the hall of the Lord's Mansion, and felt the violent energy fluctuations. The projection of No. 3 also appeared in the Lord's Mansion immediately. In the lobby ~www.novelmtl.com~ and she was also shocked by the scene before her eyes.

In the center of the hall, the soldier raised his right hand. In the palm of his hand, a small piece of pure silver splinter was spinning in mid-air. It looked like a fragment of steel, but the whole body was flowing amazingly. Energy rays, dust, long wind, flames and frost dew and other elemental magic power gathered around it into a variety of rainbow lights, making it even more dazzling than the stars.

"Shards of Steel—"

In an instant, Joshua understood it immediately. Although Carliss’s kindness was rejected by him, he still gave a reward in secret. A shard of steel containing world authority did not know when it was attached to him. , If it weren't for the light shining with a similar personality, it might take him several months to find out.

At that time, maybe all accidents happened!

But just as Joshua was frowning and thinking about what to do with this steel shard, suddenly, an accident happened. For some reason, I was always lazy. The light ball held by the firefly came to my mind for some reason. , It leaped abruptly, drew an arc in midair, and then rushed towards the steel shard that was releasing silver brilliance, and completely incorporated it into its own body.
