Soul of Burning Steel

The group of people who came here were naturally the mayor of Babel Province and others.

Facing the monster who wiped out the entire army of stone demons by himself—no, hero, because they don't know what race the other party is or what attitude they have towards elves, so after intense discussions, they finally The most prudent and safest strategy is adopted.

That is raising the white flag.

This is not a surrender, but a sign that we have no intention of resisting at all. You can do whatever you want, sir. According to the speculation of the think tank, with the strength of the other party, they may not have any thoughts about the elves, but what they think about the stone demons. The attitude is obviously the enemy, on this point, the two sides are consistent.

An enemy's enemy may not be a friend, but at least both sides are intelligent creatures and have the possibility of communicating. They can also try to win over this strong man who suddenly appeared, and tentatively get some news... Of course, due to The gap in strength is too large, so everything must be very respectful and cautious.

About a hundred meters away from Joshua and the others, a group of people hurriedly got out of the armored vehicle. In order to show respect, they even changed into the dresses that they would only wear for celebrations or meetings. It seems like a big deal, but they still regulate their actions according to the highest etiquette.

The leader, of course, is Professor Nelson. As the only elf who often communicates with the volcano dragon and can speak the so-called language of the plain, he shoulders the important task of leading the team.

Everything was perfect. The elves had considered almost all possibilities in their meticulous minds. Whether it was taking the initiative to go out of the city to meet them, language problems, or other aspects, they had indeed considered everything.

Except for the following.

"...The common language you speak has a weird tone..."

Joshua, who had already stood on top of Hei's head and was about to scout around, looked down at the white-haired old elf below. He frowned, scanned the group of elves with very nervous faces behind, and said in doubt: "I can't make out what you're saying."

What the other party spoke was obviously a common language. In Mycroft Continent, both elves and dwarves knew this most widely spoken language, and even giant dragons would deliberately learn it, but sometimes, even if it was the same language, They may not understand each other either.

The tone of the old elf in front of him is obviously a far southern accent mixed with some words of ancient elf language, and some sentences use the grammar of ancient elf language, mixed with some tones that he has never heard before. Come on, only ghosts can understand.

But the strange thing is that the old elf could understand what Joshua was saying, because he didn't know how to solve this matter, Professor Nelson's forehead was dripping with cold sweat all the time, facing the black-haired warrior in front of him, he always Feeling the sincere fear and the heavy pressure on the other party, he even recalled many unbearable past events. He felt that he had exhausted all his energy in just a few words.

The old mage is like this, and the group of people behind is not much better. They were once devastated by the mental attack of the silver humanoid coordination terminal, but now they are suppressed by the warrior halo, and their performance is even worse. , I'm afraid I have hallucinations.

I really couldn't stand it anymore, Lolanda who was standing behind Joshua made a move, a ball of holy light condensed in his hand, then turned into countless light spots, and flew towards everyone. He settled down, but after this incident, except for Professor Nelson, no one dared to look directly at the warrior's face, and for the old elf, the paladin recited an additional prayer, and then bestowed a god on him. surgery.

【Language proficiency】

This magical technique allows the other party to temporarily become proficient in a language that the caster knows, which is equivalent to sharing some knowledge. With this spell, they would have known the common language, but it was impossible to communicate due to wrong pronunciation and changes over thousands of years Nelson immediately understood his previous mistakes, but through this incident, he at least understood a little bit.

These people in front of them have no malice towards the elves.

Bowing deeply to express his gratitude, Professor Nelson had a lot of information and guesses flashing through his mind.

Before that, he originally thought that only the black-haired and red-eyed warrior came, that is, the owner of the Volcanic Dragon. After getting close, he discovered that there were actually three other people, one with blond hair and wearing casual clothes. An adult man, and the other two are a smaller silver-haired girl and a black-haired boy. These people, including the volcano dragon, are all headed by the warrior who killed the stone demon. They seem to be relatives or a team relationship.

Except for the soldier, they all seemed to be in casual clothes, and they seemed not ready for battle. It seemed that the soldier was carrying two weapons before, but now they didn't, and they didn't know where they put them.

"My lord, if you can, please go to the city to rest, we have prepared everything for you..."

After confirming that the two parties can communicate, Professor Nelson expressed his intention for coming. They first focused on thanking Joshua and others, including Hei, for their help to the elves. Then the mayor stepped forward and invited a group of people through the old elf as an interpreter. When people go to the city to rest, they will offer thanks, and Joshua and the others will do their best to satisfy whatever they want.

"Actually, I want the master to help them protect the city."

On the side, close to Rin's ear, the silver-haired girl whispered to her younger brother: "This idea is so simple that I can see it."

But Rin shrugged, and he also said softly: "Going to the city can get some information about this world, and you can also take a break. The master doesn't mind protecting the city, and that's not a bad thing."

Although Hei wanted to express his opinion, but because he was afraid of being taught by the soldiers, he kept silent all the time, just stood straight, motionless, like a statue,

Regarding this, Joshua nodded first, then shook his head. He said to Professor Nelson and the others who looked puzzled, "You don't have to rest. What you have to do now is to rebuild the line of defense as soon as possible, so that the seriously injured soldiers and citizens can rest and heal. Chaos The offensive will definitely not be so simple."

Recalling the overwhelming army of the Rage God back then, the soldier warned with a serious face: "Such a strong chaotic atmosphere, don't take it lightly, if you don't pay attention, there will be another batch of them soon."

Facing Joshua's lecture, everyone dared not express their anger, and could only nod in response, but the soldier just expressed his feelings and didn't say too much. After thinking for a while, Joshua asked: "What do you think of these things?" Do you know anything about the magic puppet with the breath of chaos?"

"You mean, stone goblin?"

Rubbing his trembling hands, Professor Nelson swallowed, and said with a trembling voice: "Their information? Of course there are, but we don't know much about it, and most of the information is in the downtown library. In the museum, we didn’t carry it with us.”

The opposite side is very concerned about the Stone Demon, is it because of this purpose?

While explaining, the old elf was also thinking about many things in his mind. He didn't know that Joshua and the others came here simply to find this stupid dragon. Having seen the inhuman force of fighters, he knew that the entire Ilgna Continent There is no such existence in the world, and the other party must have come here from an extremely far away—or even another world.

Joshua naturally knew that the other party would definitely guess their origins, but because explaining the ins and outs was too troublesome, he was too lazy to say, the other party liked to guess and guess, so ignoring the expressions of the old mage and others, the soldier simply said: "I need to know All your materials on stone demons—by the way, prepare a copy of your civilization materials, all of them.”

Joshua emphasized this point: "Don't hide anything."

What he said was originally just an ordinary emphasis and request to ensure that his understanding of the world would not be biased, so he did not bring any special tone, but to Nelson and others, this sentence accentuated the tone The words sounded like thunder in their ears, and everyone nodded their heads in panic at the same time. The mayor was in a cold sweat, and he patted his chest, promising that he would give absolutely all the information, and there would never be any any omissions.

Standing behind him, Loranda raised his hand, hesitant to speak, but after thinking about it, he still put his hand down.

Forget it, they were still strange elves anyway, so it would be better to let Joshua's aura of despair frighten them, at least the efficiency would be higher.

Paladins are naturally on the side of justice, but faster efficiency can obviously help more people. Lolanda naturally understands that it is more important for them to understand the world as soon as possible than the mood of a few people.

And in the other direction.

In the dark night sky, there is a drop-shaped airship flying in mid-air, rumbling and roaring in the strong wind.

The airship, one of the pinnacle creations of mana technology today, uses the power circle and the anti-gravity core as the center. A standard-sized airship can carry a weight of 250 tons and travel at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour. flight.

This speed is not fast, but it is enough to use, not to mention that if better materials are used, both the load and speed can be doubled.

And this dark blue drop-shaped airship is obviously the batch that uses the best materials.

Flying rapidly towards the mountains not far away at a speed of hundreds of kilometers per hour, the strong wind that was enough to break the old tree passed along the smooth shape without bringing much resistance. Soon after, the airship arrived at the edge of the mountains.

The wind here is even stronger, and even light-weight elf boys and girls may be swept away by this wind speed, and the whistling sound even overwhelms the roar of the airship engine.

On an external balcony on the side of the airship, there is a red-haired elf standing here, feeling the blowing wind. He half-closed his eyes and stared down. Suddenly, the elf raised his eyelids slightly, and then stretched out his hand Caught something in mid-air.

a leaf.

"The wind is strong again...it can blow the leaves here." The red-haired elf, that is, the great commander Urkon sighed softly: "There was no wind in the Origin Mountain Range, but now...everything is It has changed, whether it is this mountain range or the world.”

"My lord, please come back! A few days ago, there were tornadoes and other phenomena in the Origin Mountain Range. If there is a rapid airflow later..."

A voice appeared behind Urkon, sounding very worried. After the red-haired elf fell silent, he sighed and turned his head to leave the balcony. The leaves fell from his hands and slowly disappeared into the In the deep night.

It seems to disappear into a bottomless abyss.

Not long after, the wind became even stronger. Two winds from different directions clashed together. They rotated and merged, and then formed a violent vortex. With the endless roar in the sky, an extremely thick black tornado Then it appeared between the sky and the earth, and the purple lightning flashed across the sky. Under the strange light, the huge figure of the tornado looked like a giant that would destroy the world.

At this time, the airship has landed in a spacious open space in the mountains.

This place is full of ruins and relics that have suffered from gunfire, and there are traces of gunpowder and magic crystals all over it. Urkon stepped out of the airship, and several guards followed him. The red-haired elf looked around the vast ruins, deep Take a deep breath.

Here is the ruins of the capital of the last dynasty of the elves.

And his target is in the ruins, the underground that has been buried by the artillery fire of the war.

One, the real abyss.

There will be an update today, this is yesterday
