[Appraisal Report: Fragments of Burning Steel World Rare Item]

[Origin: The battle between order and chaos has been going on for hundreds of millions of years, victory and defeat, life and death, and endless rotation. In the world at the forefront of war, it is common to be repeatedly fallen and saved, and the burning steel that represents the proof of saving the world also came into play. And born. The shards of burning steel mean that this time the rescue is not complete, and the holder needs to keep in mind: temporary success or failure is irrelevant, as long as you have faith, you will be able to win. 】

[Wonderful object: The fragments burning with the fire of order may have some unexpected functions? 】

[World: The power of order in Calliss is with you. 】

[Comprehensive: The crystalline fragments that contain a powerful force of order, although they appear to be entities, are actually some kind of illusory existence, which is invisible to others except the holder. 】

Can't others see it?

Holding the burning steel shards, Joshua didn't feel any warmth in his palm, only waves of order emanating from it, but neither the knight beside him nor the white-haired mage not far away seemed to notice anything. , They looked as usual, walking in the underground tunnel of the dwarves, as if the soldiers had nothing in their hands.

"It seems so."

Putting this thing away casually, Joshua was going to study it when he had time in the future. Now, he just wants to take a good rest.

Not long after, the brigade led by Moria returned to the underground living area.

There was no extra politeness and etiquette. The dwarves who had prepared earlier arranged rooms and food for everyone. Everyone present did not have the energy to have dinner. Joshua and the others were exhausted, while Nostradamus and the others But he was still in the aftertaste of shock, especially the old mage. Apart from the shock caused by Joshua tearing up the gate of time and space, he still needed to spread the news of the return of the three of them back to the imperial capital as soon as possible.

After bidding farewell to his friends, Joshua returned to the room prepared for him by the dwarves. He entered the bathroom, took off his armor, and took off his blood-soaked clothes. The warrior soaked in the unique geothermal bath near the lava field, feeling all The tiredness was taken away by the gentle hot water, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"In the state of the King of Burning Souls, I seem to send back all the foreign souls or people who accidentally came to the world of Carliss." In the steaming heat, Joshua said to himself: "The words of Yingying, Should you wake up now?"

"Thinking about it carefully, the master didn't seem to do anything when he went to another world this time. He just killed a lot of Rage Gods."

Standing aside, Rin took away the scarred set of armor, threw the already tattered clothes into the grocery basket, and then handed Joshua new clothes. Shenji, who has a psychic body, does not need to wash his body. After he finished these chores, he stood by the bathtub and watched the soldiers take a bath, and then sighed softly: "I hope my sister can wake up, otherwise , After fighting for so long, I really didn’t get anything.”

Hearing this sentence, Joshua remembered something, he turned his head to look at his magic machine, and asked curiously: "Rin, after killing so many Rage Gods this time, do you have the feeling that you want to advance?"

"me?"

Stunned for a moment, Rin frowned, he closed his eyes, and seemed to be feeling his own state: "Well...it seems to be a little bit short, not much, it will be enough soon...but it's strange, logically speaking, it should be enough Yes, those are tens of thousands of wild gods..."

Having said that, the boy with magical skills folded his hands in front of his chest, wondering: "How could there be less?"

It seems that the Burning Soul King mode burns not only your own experience, but also your own weapons. Let's see if there is any time in the future, and kill some monsters to give Rin enough experience to upgrade.

Nodding slightly, Joshua found the reason, and after making a note in his mind, he no longer paid attention to these things, but relaxed his body in the hot water and enjoyed the rest after the battle.

the next day.

In the conference room.

Joshua roughly told Nostradamus about his experience in another world.

From the beginning when he accidentally entered the world of Karliss, broke through the fog of chaos, encountered the rain of steel crystals and the mobile fortress, and then explored the mobile fortress, met artificial intelligence and encountered the god of desolation, Joshua did not hide this aspect.

He even told the old sorcerer about the fight against the Extreme Rage God and the fact that he killed him with the help of No. 3.

There is no need to hide these things, and speaking them out will help him gain more prestige.

Of course, he didn't say that he was appointed by the will of the world, temporarily entered the state of King of Burning Souls, and then hacked to death the other three Ultima Rage Gods—this kind of thing is too illusory, even if it is Joshua himself. It feels like dreaming, let alone convincing others to believe it.

Anyway, other people were buried in the ground at that time, and they didn't see the process of his battle, so naturally they talked about it casually.

However, even if it is a Ultima Rage God, being able to kill it is already very strong - from the expression of Nostradamus, it can be seen that the old mage has been completely shocked by the news. The right hand holding the three magic rings tightly held the armchair of the chair with such strength that it seemed to be crushed.

"Based on my strength, it is unlikely that I can kill an Extreme Rage God in the siege of so many Rage Gods."

The old mage murmured: "In a world filled with the power of chaos, the power of magic will be weakened... It seems that if it is not the guardian of chaos, there is no Azure Orb, even if it is an extreme warrior, it is impossible better than you."

As he said that, Nostradamus hesitated. He paused, and then continued to ask: "However, the opposite of the gate of time and space is a complete world after all. Isn't there a legendary Rage God there?"

"There must be."

Joshua replied bluntly: "However, the legendary level is already considered the most powerful combat power under the gods. Even if there is, it should be wandering in the void with the evil gods, rather than staying in a place that has been eroded long ago." In the world, waiting for the coming of destruction."

After finishing speaking, Joshua thought for a while, and said, "If I'm not wrong, the Extreme God is the highest combat power there, and if it is eliminated, the space-time channel will be peaceful for a few years--if you think about it, you can do it too." It is sensed that the nearby space-time fluctuations have stabilized, and if there are no accidents, fixed-point teleportation should now be possible."

"Indeed." Nostradamus sensed it for a moment, and then nodded. He was indeed aware of it: "In this way, the four leaders of the Northern Territories, who have been hanging outside the core area of ​​the empire for four hundred years, will Land, and now it can finally be incorporated into the transmission channel network."

For the Northland Empire, the Northland, which was unable to lay a teleportation channel network because of the space-time channel before, was regarded as an enclave outside the core and could not be grasped at all. Only places with transmission channels that can quickly transport high-level combat power can be regarded as the real territory of the empire.

The following discussion will focus on the cost of laying the transmission channel and the policy orientation of business cooperation in the future. After roughly determining the general policy direction, this not too long dialogue will come to an end.

the next morning.

On the surface, beside the lava lake, the knights wore silver-white armor. They followed behind their lord, led their horses, and waited for the order to be issued.

Beside them, there were thirty-two silver-ranked academy mages. They were wearing silver-patterned white-backed mage robes, standing in groups of three or four, discussing academic matters while standing on the black ground.

They are all waiting.

"Next time, if there is a chance, let's discuss about the magic armor."

Before the array, Joshua was saying goodbye to Moria and the others, and he extended an invitation to the old dwarf: "I am looking forward to your craftsmanship, if you forge it, you will definitely be able to reproduce the design perfectly. every effect."

"When I have roughly dealt with the affairs of the clan, I will definitely go to visit."

Moria touched his beard, and the iron rings on it collided with each other, making a clanging sound. He laughed and said: "The transmission channel will be laid soon, and if you want to meet in the future, maybe you only need to pay the transmission fee, and you don't need to run around for a long time." It's such a hassle."

On the other hand, Claire 3 was standing beside the old dwarf. She had no plans to go back with the warrior. According to the elf druid, she will continue to go to other places in the Northland to spread the seeds of the sun vine and purify the land polluted by chaos.

"This accident caused you to waste a lot of precious seeds."

Joshua said to the green-haired elf slightly apologetically, "If it wasn't for the crystal of steel I brought, you wouldn't be involved in the space-time channel."

"Things outside the body are nothing, and this is an accident, not your fault."

Claire didn't care about this kind of thing, she looked at Joshua's black and white hair, shook her head and said, "Instead, you, in order to protect us and the fortress, lost a lot of vitality in fighting with the god of the gods... I should thank you."

Speaking of this, the elf smiled and said: "I have already informed my family in the far south... The fruit of the ancient tree of life has a powerful effect on the symptoms of loss of vitality. Please don't refuse it when the time comes."

How could Joshua refuse? The fruit of the Elven Tree of Life is an extraordinary magical fruit, which has the effect of permanently increasing the attribute and the upper limit of life. Even in his previous life, he couldn't just eat it if he wanted to.

Joshua vaguely remembered that the first time he ate the fruit of the ancient tree of life in his previous life was to help a certain elf clan hunt and kill a wind elemental lord who was advanced from a sub-dragon in the blue wasteland. De, because of the perfect completion of the task, he got three fruits of the ancient tree of life.

But now, since the elf was so polite, he simply accepted it.

Not long after, at the center of the array, Nostradamus, who was casting the teleportation spell, also prepared the group teleportation spell.

The faint blue ripples spread around the old mage, covering the array of knights and mages, faintly forming a huge and complicated magic circle on the ground. Nostradamus maintained this teleportation circle, Seemingly still able to speak, he said easily, "You can leave at any time."

After hearing these words, Joshua bid farewell to Moria and Clare, and then returned to the queue. He led his horse and stood in front of the knights.

The magic power vibrates, and the faint blue ripples distort time and space.

Starfall 832, March 3rd, 9:22 am.

After a wave of distorted time and space, the warrior returned to the main city of Moldavia.

Suddenly, I realized that the people around the protagonist are not human...a sword, an axe, a large rune core...
