Soul of Burning Steel

When Joshua frowned slightly and landed silently on the top floor of the lord's mansion, the two figures who had been waiting here were slightly startled, and then immediately went forward to greet him.

"Firefly, Rin? What's wrong?"

Joshua was thinking about the situation of the world in need of help that Carliss had narrated to him at this time. Seeing the weapons all marching towards him, he couldn't help loosening his arms in a strange way, and let go of the little girl who had been struggling in his arms. The light let go, and the ball of light that had been pinched by the warrior's iron pincers seemed to have escaped from the sky, making a happy "jingle" sound, and then bouncing in mid-air and disappearing, as if to go Find black.

The two figures that came up, namely Yingying and Rin, looked at each other when they heard Joshua's question, then Yingying scratched her head and said first: "Supper is ready, but there is still time to go." There is one thing—look, master, a letter just arrived."

After speaking, the silver-haired girl with doubts on her face handed out a letter, and Joshua reached out to take the rather ornately decorated envelope. At this moment, Rin said, with his arms folded: "I just got a letter from someone from The messenger from the far south got this letter, but it also has the seal of the eastern seaboard region on it, and it seems that there is a trace of strong power on it...Although the master said that we can open any letter first, and we can talk about it when we come back. But it is better for you to open this letter yourself."

Rin's words were polite, with a hint of displeasure, and Joshua keenly noticed a trace of burn marks on the other's fingers and cuffs... Obviously, he should have encountered something when he opened the letter Little trouble.

"I just said that you guys should exercise hard. Look at No. 3. How fast her strength has improved recently. Even Bishop Artanis admits that even if he is fully prepared, he can't beat her."

Joshua shook his head, stretched out his hand and patted Rin's shoulder, and a gentle force of steel poured into Rin's body, repairing his small wound. As he spoke, he focused his eyes on the letter and said, "You have psychic bodies with a good foundation. If you work hard to cultivate, you may not be able to achieve the golden intention in a few years or more. If you can transform the quality and spirit If the research is thorough... Hey, it was written by the natural teacher and another unknown legendary powerhouse?"

With just one glance, Joshua keenly noticed that this small envelope contained the power of two legendary powerhouses. Although there was only a trace of it, it was enough to make anyone who tried to open the envelope suffer a little.

The only thing that surprised Joshua was why they sent letters... Although the wounds of the war have not been healed in the Far South, magic energy communication devices should have been popularized there. Letters, a primitive means of communication, have long been It should have been eliminated.

"Maybe it's for solemnity?"

Joshua thought of this, and then he continued to examine the contents of the letter.

"Okay, it's settled so quickly, it seems that Fei Na has also worked hard during this time."

After a while, the soldier put down the letter thoughtfully, and then sighed: "It's amazing that the blood of the ancient dragon can withstand that concentration."

"Master, what is written in this letter?"

On the side, Yingying, who originally planned to sneak around behind Joshua to read the contents of the letter after he opened it, was a little depressed, because the soldier didn't open the envelope at all, but directly saw through the contents.

Although Rin didn't care about it, he actually looked at the envelope in the soldier's hand with curious eyes.

"It's Hill and Fina's wedding."

Waving the envelope in his hand, Joshua explained succinctly: "Because Hill will officially inherit the position of the elder after the wedding and become the leader of a powerful elf tribe, so the natural teacher and the contemporary queen will support him. host."

The tribes of the elves are quite united. The large and small elf cities and villages in the Far South Forest are all scattered around the Mother Tree of Life in the Lake of Eternity, and many tribes are also firmly united around the elf royal court. The elves, whose population is extremely rare compared to humans, know that if they do not unite, they are doomed to be completely assimilated by humans in the future, just like those grassland elves and half-elves who have almost been assimilated.

For the whole world, this is not a bad thing, but for a race, being assimilated is definitely not a good thing. In order to maintain the independence of their own culture and blood, the elves have worked hard for thousands of years.

According to Joshua's understanding of elven culture, the elven queen or elven king is similar to the patriarch of a big family. Other tribes are members of the family. It is indeed their habit to preside over weddings and funerals for other important members.

"Invite me to participate... It's also good to go to the Far South to take a look, and it doesn't conflict with the time that Karlis said."

Joshua could see the implication behind this letter. Naturally, the mentor invited him to the Far South, and it was definitely not just for Hill's wedding—the elves, there must be something they want to negotiate with him, a legendary powerhouse. , That's why such a formal invitation letter was sent, and this matter must be something that cannot be explained clearly using communication equipment, and must be communicated in person.

"Rin, go back and help me draft a reply letter, saying that I agree."

Joshua made a decision after confirming that there were no conflicts in the itinerary. He handed the envelope whose power had been removed back to Yingying's hand, and then said after a while: "When the time comes, you will also go with me."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Hotaru and Rin who were cheering, and showed a slight smile, but then, the smile disappeared, and Joshua fell into deep thought again.

"The world Karliss mentioned is not far from the world of Mycroft."

The soldier at this time was still recalling what the steel python told him not long ago, about the news about another world that needed help, many of the details made him puzzled, and he didn't know how to explain it.

According to Karliss, the world where the will of the world that entrusted him is located is not far from the world of Mycroft. If I have to say it, it is probably a little farther than the sixth abyss. It is completely in the stargazing world. It is within the observation range of the astronomical institute—however, during the hundreds of years of observation by the astronomical institute, it has never discovered that life world.

If it weren't for the negligence of the staff of the star observatory, or there was indeed something unusual in that world, otherwise this situation could not be explained.

Secondly, the identity of the enemy... Kallis is also very puzzled by this. It said that there does not seem to be a breath of chaos in that world, but civilization is indeed reborn and destroyed repeatedly, which is extremely unusual. It suggested to Joshua Ya went to see it for himself and judged the specific situation, and the fighter agreed with it.

After all, after seeing the black mist, Joshua already knew that the enemy of civilization may not necessarily be chaos, but may also be order itself.

The last point is a reminder from Karlis who was vague.

"That world is very small... Unlike Mycroft and my world, which has several continents and seas, it is only slightly larger than the demiplane, and it is a rare miniature world."

The words of the steel python began to blur at this time. This was a sign that the link was affected by the demon tide and was about to be interrupted. It seemed that it was still thinking about its words, and after a while, it slowly said: "It will be about three months from now. , Joshua, you have to prepare accordingly..."

What preparation? The soldier thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he had to ignore it in the end - anyway, no matter what the preparations were, they were all for destroying the enemy, he just needed to continue as before.

On the side, Hotaru had already taken the lead in opening the letter returned by Joshua, and Rin who was watching by the side said rather puzzled: "I know the teacher of nature, the last time I came to our place to go to Great Ajax The big sister of the volcano, right? But another elf queen is also a legendary powerhouse, why didn't we know before..."

"Ms. Jalan Nord must like your title very much."

A big sister who is about seven or eight times his age... Joshua thought for a while, then shook his head with a smile and said: "This is normal, the world of Mycroft has a complete inheritance of extraordinary paths, and the superficial legends are just the most contemporary ones. Just a few famous ones."

"As a big clan, elves have only one natural teacher. It is impossible for them to have only one natural teacher. The leaders of their royal family are all legends, but they are the masters of the royal family first, and the legendary powerhouses second. After succeeding to the throne, it is generally not their turn They go to the front and fight."

Not only that, but other major forces are similar. Even in the northern empire, besides the emperor on the bright side, there is also an ultimate-level mage who can advance at any time. Barbarossa of the White Tower in the eastern plains In addition to the sage Faina, the Qiyao Council, an ancient and silent organization, also has an unknown legendary powerhouse stationed there.

In the various royal courts of Xishan, there are quite a few powerhouses of the extreme level, but because most of them are reclusive rulers, no one knows if there are any legends in it, but even so, the contemporary holy swordsman and mind master William is also from Xishan, and the dwarf artisan can barely be regarded as stationed in the Xishan area. They all have their own successors, and they all have legendary potential.

Joshua knew that the reason why the strong in the previous life withered and the legendary strong did not appear until the next generation was mainly due to environmental problems. The environment in the previous life was harsh, and the impact of the Great Demon Tide on the world was far greater than the impact it brought. Benefits, the abyss and the five-color dragons, as well as large and small cult forces have exhausted everyone in the world of Mycroft, but this life is different.

For example, in the Church of the Seven Gods, Eagle did not sacrifice himself in order to maintain the flames of the world. With the teaching of such a legendary powerhouse, the Church of the Seven Gods would not fall into the situation where there were no successors, and Loranda would not In order to continue the flames of the world, he took the initiative to open the gate of the abyss.

"Thinking about it carefully, the world of Mycroft is really hidden. It is worthy of being the successor of the glorious era. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse..."

Probably doing the math in his heart, Joshua was slightly startled, because he could count more than a dozen legendary powerhouses on the bright side. Counting the underground world and non-human races, they could be There are even more than thirty people who have achieved legends, but those who have not achieved it yet!

Thirty legends! Although almost half of them are future powerhouses, even if it is the remaining half, if they work together, then the expedition to the abyss is not difficult at all... For example, the sixth abyss, a god-level abyss lord, plus five The demon lord, this is already an extremely terrifying force, plus the three dragon kings, it can be said to be invincible, but if such a strength is surrounded by twice as many legendary powerhouses, I am afraid I can only cry Rout to the depths of the multiverse... not to mention other gods.

Of course, Joshua also knew that it was absolutely impossible for legendary powerhouses to join forces so easily, and there were many new demon kings in the power of Goliath in the previous life, such as the heart eater whose name he almost forgot It is one of them, one ebbs and another, the Mycroft world is self-weakened and divided due to internal strife, but the enemy is constantly getting stronger. This is the real reason for the disaster.

However, Joshua believed that with the changes he brought about, the number of legendary powerhouses in the future could only be more than before, never less than in previous lives.

At the same time, Nissier Snow Mountain, the headquarters of Winter Castle Academy.

On the cliff of a snow-capped mountain, there is a black-haired dragon girl lying between the ice and snow, watching the moon in the gap between the clouds.

The silver-blue moonlight falling like a sarong is refracted by the ice and snow of the snow-capped mountains, turning it into magnificent halos. Lisa stares at the moonlight, which is very different from her hometown, with flickering eyes, as if she is recalling the past time.

"What, Lisa, homesick?"

In the spirit, Balrog's voice came. It sensed that Lisa's heart was not as calm as it seemed on the surface, so it asked aloud.

"It's nothing, Mr. Syndicate...just a little lonely."

Sighing softly, the dragon girl ignored the severe cold of the surrounding ice and snow, and quietly said: "Although everyone in the academy is very kind to me, no one is willing to be my friend."

"I think it's not that I don't want to, but that I don't dare."

Syndicate objectively pointed out Lisa's problem: "Your strength is much stronger than these peers who are still in the training period. They are not at the same level. How dare they be friends with you... Seeing you as a competitor is like being a few other students of my lord."

"But you are a popular person on the forum. There are many admirers of you. Don't you plan to respond to one or two?"

"But Mr. Syndicate is the one who posts on the forum, right? How dare you post my photo without my consent!"

Hearing this, Lisa couldn't help but blushed and protested: "I haven't learned how to post yet, even if I make friends, they are your friends, sir, not mine!"

"Stupid." Syndicate shook his head disdainfully: "A guy like you who watches the moon on the top of a mountain alone will never make friends in his life."

"Actually, having friends is not very important..." To this, Lisa replied with a smile: "It is enough for me to have Mr. Syndicate. I have long been used to loneliness. I have always been alone before." came."

After hearing this sentence, the originally imposing Balrog fell silent instantly. The dragon girl didn't notice this, but continued to think about the future: "I'll go to Teacher Joshua in a few days, Most of your soul should have recovered, enough to be independent from my body... At that time, we can be friends!"

"idiot……"

Not knowing how to respond to the simple thoughts of the dragon girl, Syndicate could only respond with this simple word, and the cliff regained silence.

However, just as the dragon girl was looking at the moon and running the current in her body until she was about to fall asleep, suddenly, Lisa and Syndicate felt huge vibrations one after another at the same time.

"What's the sound?"

Standing up neatly from the snowdrift, Lisa opened her eyes wide and looked in the direction of the vibration, while Cyndia also vigilantly scanned her surroundings to observe the source of the unusual sound.

"Zizi..."

Then, they saw the huge steel shadow that appeared in the mountain gorge accompanied by the sound of electric current. The shadow seemed to be walking. It found the dragon girl not far away, and began to move towards the area where the other party was. near.

"Zizi."

Recently, my work and rest are so chaotic that I don’t even know what month it is when I sleep... Turn on the computer and find that it has been interrupted for a day, and I am still confused about what is going on...
