Soul of Burning Steel

Vol 7 Chapter 4: Once and now

"You are too slow, why both Hotaru and Rin arrive before you?"

The imperial royal spell association, president's office, Nostradamus' dissatisfied voice echoed in the room.

"It just comforted a child who was a little scared. I didn't expect some unexpected gains."

Stepping out of the gate of time and space, Joshua didn't care about the old mage's questioning. There is still a long time before the set time, he should be considered to have set off early, and with Nostradamus, they don't need to care about the distance of space at all, they can go to the vicinity of the void distortion point at any time.

As for the previous move of No. 3, apart from a feeling of emotion that he did not expect to have evolved to this point, the soldier had no other extraneous feelings. After all, no matter what the situation is, it is too early.

Although this world is free from a ruinous future, it still has countless crises. The abyssal demon, the earth and the beasts, the unknown ancient dragon, the evil **** returning from the other side of the multiverse, and the darkness lurking among the stars, everything is far from being able to relax, let alone Joshua still has to follow the sages Step by step, to understand the truth of the loss of the ancients, stand at the apex of the multiverse, and fight against the powerful in countless worlds. In order to accomplish these goals, he is far from being able to stop.

"Your new pet is really strange."

Already used to Joshua’s occasional inconspicuous answer, Nostradamus shrugged. He turned his head to look at the ball of light, which seemed to want to spray with water, and let it go. The old mage was a little bit Regrettably, he said, "A spiritual elemental creature can be said to be the best demon familiar for the mage. It is a waste to give you this warrior."

A good familiar can help the wizard share the burden of magic power, accelerate the formation of large-scale spells, and even work as a part-time mobile energy bank. In short, it has a lot of functions and can help a wizard raise his own strength to a higher level. Approximately elemental life, but actually a more advanced existence, in Nostradamus's view, is indeed a perfect model of the beloved.

"Don't you?" Joshua asked in a strange rhetoric. After all, as a legendary mage, Nostradamus has an entire empire as his backing, let alone a familiar, as long as he Thinking, it would not be difficult to capture an elemental elder. But after asking, he seemed to remember something, so he shook his head and closed his mouth.

——Of course not, but the other party's former partner had died because of magic overload when the orcs invaded the war. Since then, Nostradamus has never received a familiar.

"Waste is not a bad thing, at least you don't have to go to the battlefield... But what are you doing with it this time? You don't know how to spell."

After skipping this question, Nostradamus watched the ball of light flying in his office, and finally landed slowly on top of Hotaru's head. The legendary mage sat in his chair and said with some doubts: "Explore Although the time-space distortion point may not be difficult, it is not easy enough to take a pet for sightseeing."

"Light is not an ordinary ball...beings." For the time being, Joshua did not intend to tell others about the true identity of Light. He hadn't fully confirmed the matter of the Blood Moon Abyss and had not yet reached the bottom of exposure, so he started The side explained: "I brought it here to verify a guess, not a temporary intention."

For this explanation, Joshua did not lie. Hotaru and Rin are his weapons. This time the exploration of time and space distortion is far more important than the last time I went to the abyss to find someone, so I must call it, and the body of light is suspicious. The existence of the initial fire, the rudimentary form of the will of the world, take it to the barren ancient sacrificial site that connects all worlds. Maybe it really has some special use, and it is really not. He can also resonate through the power of steel at any time. There is no danger in putting the light back into its body.

"In that case, just feel free."

Seeing that Joshua had his own considerations, Nostradamus stopped talking. He got up from his seat and said: "This trip to explore the Void Distortion Point, there are a total of four powers, five A legendary powerhouse opposes the battle. They are you and me representing the empire, Barbarossa representing the White Pagoda, the sage Faina representing the coastal city-state alliance of the eastern plains, and the murloc high priest Godard, because the Goblin Township is the closest to the target. Semi-plane, so we have reached an agreement with all the fairy queens, and we can start exploring with the fairy town as a base."

This information was actually communicated to Joshua through other channels not long ago, but the legendary mage still repeated it himself: "Through calculation and analysis, as well as the temptation to predict spells, we can be sure that this exploration will not be too much. It's difficult, so everything is in accordance with the tradition of the past few hundred years, let all forces send elite teams into it to explore, and the legend only needs to be pressed.

"Are these people alone?"

Unlike Nostradamus, Joshua, who knew what the ruins behind the distortion point was, was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he felt that this was normal. The various forces in the southern part of the Mycroft Continent, such as the Seven Gods There are a lot of things to be busy in the church, the fairy king's court, or the Far South Kingdom. Whether it is reconstruction after a disaster, purifying contaminated land or planting a world tree, they cannot be distracted. Although the point of void distortion is important, it is far inferior to these. , So these forces will at most send some envoys to watch the records, and will not send elites to participate.

And Xishan is not to mention, they are originally a kingdom ruled by scattered sorcerer families and extraordinary people. The strong are basically the kings of a country. It is basically impossible for them to abandon their own territory for this kind of thing, not to mention the recent The underground world races have begun to formally establish diplomatic relations with the outside world, and their energy has been fully devoted to this aspect.

"Enough, the five legends are in the formation. This is a line of defense that may not be able to break even if the entire abyss is poured out. If it is not for this ancient distortion point, it is very important, and it is likely to have valuable technology and heritage from the Guangyao era. , Coupled with its own stable existence for thousands of years, how could we have gathered such a powerful exploratory team?"

Standing in the center of his office, Nostradamus raised his head, looking in the direction of the sky, with a serious expression: "Go early, and prepare early. It's time to set off."

Qiao Xiuya would naturally not refuse, so in the next second, with the much stronger time-space fluctuations and the dark blue magic light overflowing the window, everyone in the room passed through the gap of time and space under the power of the legendary mage, and went to The far side of the void.

At about the same time, in the eastern waters of the mainland, inside a towering rock tower that seemed to grow directly from the continental shelf, a bald old man with a simple dress and a pipe in his hand stood on the high platform of his mage tower transmission array. He glanced at the twelve silent elite wizards in the array with scrutinizing eyes. There were no pupils and whites in his eyes, only a burning light. Barbarossa, the master of the elements, was not a talkative person. He is accustomed to planning and then acting, replacing his own language with down-to-earth actions. Naturally, his apprentices and disciples are also influenced by his own teachers and have similar personality traits.

"The action begins." He said briefly.

Then the light of transmission came on.

And I noticed the actions of old acquaintances, but also the actions of old opponents. The most prosperous port city in the eastern seas of the Mycroft mainland, where the Knights of the Sea Dragon is stationed, and a simple hut with closed eyes on a small island around Sea Dragon City. Tucked up his ivory-white waist-length hair, his complexion lightly activated the magic circle that can make waves in time and space, and the distant sea area opposite to it, in the center of the new gathering place of the Murloc clan, the same wave tore open the space. The **** of, sent the huge black murloc and its elite to the pre-determined area.

Outside of Mycroft’s world, in the chaotic space of the star realm, there are thousands of bright light clusters attached to the world’s light film. They are large or small, and the large ones seem to be close to the earth. The moon is small but only a few meters in radius. This is the external image of the demiplane attached to the main world in the void, and in these thousands of light clusters, there is a dark, warped space-time anomaly. It is conspicuous, it slowly rotates around the world, and now it just happened to come to the periphery of a huge light cluster.

Bringing the magical sister and brother and the ball of light, Joshua and Nostradamus passed through the time and space channel and came to the fairy village. The transfer process between the demiplane and the world is quite long and complicated. During the period, it still needs to pass the review of the fairy queens. Fortunately, there is nothing wrong in the process. The group of people smoothly came to the edge of the fairy town, and that The dark twisted space-time faces face to face.

"There are still a lot of people."

Glancing at the surrounding stations, Joshua felt quite surprised, because at the edge of this fairy town, there are four simple camps far apart. In each camp, there are more than twenty logistics personnel preparing supplies, seemingly want to To build this place into a temporary base, and in the camp where he and Nostradamus descended, there are fifteen professionals who are sharp at first sight. They wear the same style of armor and robes. They should be the same. A team of members, including wizards, priests, warriors, archers, alchemists and thieves, can be said to be a standard-equipped team of adventurers.

And before he continued to look at the surrounding environment, three consecutive time and space fluctuations passed from the other three camps. Joshua could feel that at this moment, there are three powerful beings that shuttle from the other side of time and space. Come. Among them are the aggregates of elements shining with colorful lights, the existence that is rapidly assimilating with the surrounding fairyland environment, and the existence that completely unites itself with the heavens and the earth in a short moment, and there is also a dark sea that seems to be inconceivable. deep.

Element Master Barbarossa, Sea Sage Faina, Murloc High Priest Godard, three legendary powerhouses, brought their most elite team, and descended on the edge of time and space in this fairyland at the same time.

Qiao Xiuya observed the other party with great interest, while others were also watching him. The bald old man squinted his eyes slightly. What he saw was a towering volcano, spewing golden-red molten steel, and the woman with closed eyes raised her brows. She felt a piece of solid and self-contained steel. The changes in the surrounding world seemed to have nothing to do with it. The tall black murloc arranged the sacrificial ornaments made of skulls and gems on her neck. What you see is the most solid and pure life force, it is boiling like a flame, releasing the high temperature that people want to stay away from.

And just after this brief mutual observation, a brief communication began.

"Then humans, just follow the agreement."

In the distance, an obscure mental fluctuation came from the murloc camp: "First, we will split up and send teams to conduct preliminary explorations. After we have a certain amount of information, we will share with each other, and then we will summarize and speculate."

This is the action plan that the four major forces have negotiated long ago: the space-time distortion point is a group of distorted space-time, and its essence, according to the speculations of the legendary powerhouses, should be the same man-made semiplane as the Fairy Township, just because of some Unexpectedly, it was not attached to Mycroft's world, but moved around the world's outer membrane in the void of the star realm. And because of this, none of the powerful legendary powerhouses can rush into it, because if their powerful power does not converge against the power of this half-plane, it is likely to cause extremely serious consequences~www. novelmtl.com~ This includes but not only the possibility of destruction of the entire demiplane.

Therefore, before Joshua and others take action, the major forces will let the elite professionals selected by them enter it first, collect information on the various parameters of the demiplane, so that the legends can fine-tune the nature of their power. The semi-planes cause conflicts, just like the warriors went to the world of Grantia back then. It takes time to adapt to the local power of steel for the same reason.

The split action is to avoid conflict. After all, the three major forces in the Eastern Plains have serious conflicts with each other. If one party discovers that the other party has found any important relics or materials in it, then they will undoubtedly attack each other and develop into a frontal battle. In this way, it will not only deepen the contradiction, but also make exploration in vain. Only when encountering a special serious situation, the people will work together to solve it.

Nostradamus seems to be familiar with this series of processes. He has participated in and even presided over many similar joint operations in the past few decades. However, for him, the relationship between the legendary strong I am afraid it is also the first time. Joshua also found it very novel, but this novelty mainly came from perspective.

"Restricted level dungeons, a low-level elite exploratory team formed by mobilization, mainly serve as a background board, and only the strong who will take action at critical moments.

He whispered to himself, and even laughed, attracting Hotaru and Rin beside him to look frequently, and Nostradamus also turned his head in doubt. Joshua did not care about others' gazes, but looked towards the void. Zhong is slowly moving in the distorted space: "It's really familiar, but the identity has changed."

Once he was a person who participated in the exploration, but now, he is a member of the stable situation.

Before he knew it, he had reached the point he is now.
