Chapter Twenty-Six: Unknown Challenges (5700, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!) )
"Those four fairy ladies are just doppelgangers of the four fairy queens in the outside world."
After all the elves were gone, Israel stared in the direction they had left and said softly, "The Four Elemental Elf Queens sleep in the Elven Country, no, they are the Elf Country itself, and these four most powerful goblins form the elemental cycle of that half-plane, making it resemble a small world, and attached to the Mycrof Continent...... The truth and concept contained in this are not even understood by me now, but there is no doubt that their strength has reached the legend hundreds of years ago, and its heritage is far above the ordinary legend. ”
Joshua nodded, he had also heard about the relevant information.
In the previous life, the goblin town has always been very mysterious, when the northern empire faced the abyss invasion, the early stage was defeated, lost a large amount of land, and the imperial capital was almost captured, and at that time, the goblins were entrusted by Dimore, with a part of the talented girls to the ashes of the later life, and the dwarves joined forces to establish Naya Fortress, while resisting the attack of demons, while relying on the battle to quickly cultivate the Valkyrie.
The so-called Valkyrie is a powerful existence that can sign a contract with goblins and become a magical warrior, each Valkyrie has a dwarf who specializes in forging exclusive armor, and also has a goblin to rely on, these female warriors who have received various high-intensity exercises since childhood can show extraordinary martial arts and magical power with excellent weapons and armor, as well as contracts with goblins, and they have made indelible contributions in the war against the abyss, defeating at least four large-scale demon raids.
And in the later stage of the war, the four elemental Valkyries who were rumored to have been relied on by the fairy queen were even able to use legendary martial arts and high-level magic at the same time, and their combat power was extraordinary, and ordinary demon lords could only run away in their hands - after all, it was equivalent to two fighting one, if it weren't for the fact that the number of demons was too much, the goblins would not be able to withstand the rotten aura of the abyss, otherwise these Valkyries would have counterattacked the abyss like other legends, instead of always being stationed in Naya Fortress.
"Your god machine has actually been supported by fairy technology, Hotaru and Rin, that's the name, right? The essence of their existence is actually the artificial spirit attached to the weapon, in a sense, it can be regarded as an accessory of the artificial goblin, if they come, it should make those goblins happy, after all, they have not seen a new kind of people for many years. ”
As he spoke, Israel opened the door to the Elven Country.
Facing the center of the palace, a huge three-meter-high floor-to-ceiling mirror, His Majesty the Emperor stretched out his right hand, and the rune ring on his index finger bloomed a translucent arc of electricity, which was a pure magical light condensed to the extreme, and when this light touched the seemingly fragile mirror, not only did not shatter it, but instead caused a rapidly rotating dark blue vortex appeared on its mirror, and after a few seconds, the vortex expanded, and then formed a door large enough for one person to enter.
"Come on, the teacher should be waiting for us in the fairy village by now."
Israel didn't talk nonsense, but walked directly into this door to another time and space, and Joshua naturally followed, one of the two often traveled back and forth between the Mycrof Continent and the Fairy Country, and the other was experienced in a lot of battles, what other world had not been to? So they all acted quickly and without hesitation.
Just as Israel activated the door of the ancient palace to the elven village, Joshua entered.
In the dark hall on the top floor of the palace, four elemental elves gathered.
This is a dark place without the slightest light, there is no fire in the rock palace that was built thousands of years ago, and the only thing that can provide illumination is the four goblins who are flying happily except for the magical elements that are free in the air.
Four bright points of light - golden red fire, light blue water, light cyan wind and black brown ground, they flew from the stairs at the bottom of the palace at different angles, different trajectories and different speeds, and along the way, falling magical light chips made the dark staircase, the corridors and halls lit up, and these near-extreme goblins were emitting powerful energy radiation all the time, and then activated the magic runes that lurked on the walls.
In a short time, the magic dust filled every corner, and the goblins who returned to the hall on the second floor activated almost all the magic runes around them, and the fluorescent elements illuminated the four walls, and you could see the exquisite reliefs and murals carved into the ancient rock walls, which seemed to tell the story of how a seriously injured young man was rescued by four tiny human figures flying happily.
"Alas, every time I see these murals, I feel like I've been saved in a big trouble."
The fiery red goblin, Light Flame said, although her tone sounded like she was complaining, but judging from her expression, she could know that she was very proud: "I really didn't expect that I could become an emperor by saving a human child, I'm so awesome - how many generations of descendants is Israel from him?" ”
"I don't know." "I don't know." "Dut...... Don't understand. The other three goblins replied in an indifferent tone, and the water elemental goblins among them sighed: "Speaking of which, how long are we going to stay here, originally we couldn't leave the seal of Goblin Township and Yongge Lake for a long time because the concentration of elemental magic in the outside world was too low, but now that the demon tide has descended, the concentration of mana has increased significantly, and we should be able to go out." ”
As she spoke, she whirled and danced in the air in pain: "It's so boring, I want Israel to accompany me to see the outside world!" ”
On the other side, the wind goblin in the corner didn't care about the fire goblin who was worshipping herself on the other side and the water goblin who was about to explode out of boredom, she whispered to herself, asked and answered herself, and discussed some questions with herself.
"The little old man that Israel brought before and the young man just now seem to have entered the realm of legends."
This little goblin was writing and drawing in the void, and one by one the runes condensed and dissipated, and the goblin named Changfeng frowned and thought, "In this case, wouldn't I have to design two more legendary cards...... It's troublesome, but it's also fun! ”
In front of this goblin, countless fragments of runes were mixed with the magic power of the wind element, condensed into a magic card that was only the size of a human fingernail, and there were hundreds of these magic cards, which were glowing with white, blue, purple and gold-orange light in turn, of which the white cards were the most, accounting for one-third of the cards, and the golden-orange ones were the least, only no more than twenty were suspended in mid-air, I'll go out and collect information about these two people and make their cards! ”
Faintly visible, these magic cards have descriptions written in beautiful elven script, as well as beautiful portraits.

A sturdy dwarf sitting on a lava throne wrapped in thick armor.
In addition, there are many legendary cards floating in the library, such as [King of the Siren: Yarrow], [Abyssal Bottom Fish-Man Godard], [Nature's Mentor: Garanord], etc., and now, floating in front of this little goblin is an old man with dark blue space-time ripples behind him, and a ......
"Huh?" Blinking, the wind fairy suddenly said to himself in distress: "I didn't see his face just now? Strange why I subconsciously didn't look at his face......"
- All of them are scrapped.
At this time, the earth elemental goblin, who had been on the side, and had just made a 'purr' sound before, looked at the three friends in front of him who had been together for an unknown amount of time, but he thought helplessly in his heart.
- It's really hopeless, one is narcissistic, one lacks love, and the other is obsessed with designing card games, all of which are useless.
Fairies are not ordinary life, but natural elemental bodies born at the point of condensation of magical power, they originally had no body and desire to resemble ordinary intelligent life, but probably because of the long-term contact with humans, the original pure and immaculate goblins began to slowly become eccentric, plus they are the doppelgangers of the body, stationed in this small palace for almost a thousand years, and after a long time of boredom and waiting, the result is that like now, all the goblins except her have begun to have quirky habits, It's really a sigh of relief.
"Doodoooo (I'm going to rest)." Shaking his head, what he thought was normal Earth Elf floated and flew to another corner of the top floor of the palace.
Outside of the McCrove world, in a half-plane attached to the surface of the world, two figures appeared from the light curtain with the appearance of a dark blue light curtain.
After Joshua passed through the time and space passage, he glanced at this strange world, even he had never been to the Fairy Township known for its mystery in his previous life, he was not strong enough before, but the strength was enough later, but the Fairy Township also fell because of the abyss invasion.
But what the warrior saw was a bit unexpected.
Different from the joy shown by the four little goblins before, the home of the goblins is as vast as the starry sky of the universe at a glance.
The black earth floated, not solid earth, but layers of free dust particles, under which there was a faint golden-red fire, bringing bursts of scorching temperatures, and the gloomy sky was full of haze, filling the heavens and the earth with water vapor, and the wind representing the movement of particles slowly moved in this strange world, and the stars, the light representing the energy migration also shimmered in it like stars.
The never-condensing earth, the never-ending wind, the ubiquitous light and the water that filled the world, the four huge wills sleeping in the four corners of this small world, and many scattered small wills around the four huge wills, they noticed the space-time door that opened in the distance, but they didn't seem to intend to come over to say hello.
Israel did not hide any news, Joshua realized that this world is indeed a half-plane constructed by four powerful beings, and the four elements of earth, water, fire, and wind constitute its cornerstone, among which light and darkness are being nurtured, but there is no corresponding strong person to support as a pillar, and the warrior has a hunch that if there is a legendary-level fairy queen who represents light and darkness is born, this seemingly fragile and unstable half-plane can gradually improve, and even become a real small world, And the six fairy queens can become the newborn gods of that small world.
A strange but certainly feasible way to advance. He sighed. Every legend is not to be underestimated.
"Originally, the environment here was actually very beautiful, the four elements were distinct, and it was very simple and free of beauty, but the impact of the Great Demon Tide shattered the earth element earth in Fairy Township, and the Earth Element Queen was hit hard, and even the other fairy queens were injured in different sizes, and other goblins were taking care of them - the goblin queen is the world itself, and their injuries are manifested in the outside world, which is this chaotic and strange appearance."
Although Israel couldn't see his expression on the surface, anyone could sense his concern: "I persuaded them to take the initiative to hide in the McCrof world as soon as possible, so as not to suffer the impact of the subsequent demon tide, but they simply refused, which actually did not affect the advancement. ”
And just as His Majesty the Emperor complained about the stubbornness of the goblins, a layer of space-time fluctuations rippled on the two sides, and in the next moment, an old man with white hair walked out of it.
"You're here." Master Nostradamus was in an unusually good state of mind at this time, he raised his hand, refused Joshua's greeting, and then smiled and said, "Okay, my old man is just an advanced legend, compared to you monster - there will be time to celebrate in the future, we can even have a drink together in Wintercastle, and we will not get drunk, but it is still important for now." ”
The old mage was right, if it was a stranger, then it would definitely be a nonsense or two, but now the three people present are very familiar with each other, and they are all vigorous and resolute personalities, so they can save most of the politeness, so in the next moment, with the legendary old mage warping time and space, the three of them arrived at the edge of the fairy township in an instant.
"It's not quite the same as you're used to, teacher."
Israel felt very novel, and he thoughtfully recalled the previous feeling: "It is somewhat similar to the feeling of passing through the space-time gate, but the activation is much faster, without the obvious fluctuations caused by the opening of the space-time rift, and there is no shockwave caused by high-speed movement. ”
"After achieving a legend, you can barely comprehend it...... It's just instinct now, but next time I have the chance, I'll depict its principle as a concrete spell formula for the guild to study together. Nostradamus replied cheerfully, and this was also the origin of many high-level spells. When a powerful mage advances, he will obtain some instinctive spell-like abilities due to the sublimation of his own life essence, which is usually very suitable for them, and by systematically analyzing the principles of this type of spell, they can obtain a new powerful spell.
As they explore the truth, they will gradually become a part of the truth.
This small talk didn't last long, standing on the edge of the fairy township, the three of them looked up and looked at the Chaos Void together.
Fairy Township is just the prototype of a small world, and it is still an imperfect half-dimensional form, and there is no world light film at its edge, nor does it have any barriers, but it leads directly to the endless void in the depths of the multiverse, and the power of the four fairy queens constitutes a four-element cycle, blocking the threat from the outside world.
Originally, the elves could watch the endless stars in the multiverse - that is, the endless world - at the edge of the fairy country, and then reverie what kind of interesting existence there is, which is also a good way for them to pass the time with a long lifespan, but now, a huge and incomparably large distorted dark space that obscures nearly eighty percent of the vision on the edge of the fairy country is blocked between it, making all the stars dark, even the light emitted by the great demon tide cannot break through.
Looking at this darkness, Joshua knew that under this crumbling and distorted space shell was the famous high-level map in the previous life, the [Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Ground], which was the supreme wonder created by all the civilizations of the Glorious Era, the condensation of all wisdom, compared to this space-time center that can connect all worlds, the original spectacular Void Stargazing Station, Sentinel Array and other Star Fall Era wonders are as ridiculous as children.
In his previous life, he did not participate in the first wave of exploration of the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice Ground, to be precise, this exploration had nothing to do with them, and the warrior remembered that it was only after all the major forces in the Mycrof Continent had completed the exploration that the map was opened to the world.
[Born from fire, born from steel, soul as firewood, as a salary, wisdom is immortal, order is eternal, inheritance and reciprocation, until today], this proverb comes from the stone tablet in its center, in addition to many ancient records that have not been fully translated even in previous lives, which depict the most primitive beliefs in this world and the path that civilization has traveled along the way.
Although it is unlikely that the whereabouts of the sages and the records of the lost three hundred years will be found in them, there is no doubt that through those stone tablets, the civilization of this era must have obtained important information from the previous era, and even precious historical inheritance.
Sometimes, history itself can represent a powerful force, and only by knowing its own past and its own origins can civilization move forward in a down-to-earth manner, instead of groping and being confused in the dark.
"This space-time distortion point will soon be discovered by other forces."
Also staring at this large dark distorted space, Nostradamus said calmly: "It may be a super-large teleportation channel to another world, or it may be a path of depravity to the abyss, but in any case, a space-time rift of this scale cannot be monopolized with the power of the empire, we need to unite all the forces on the entire continent who are interested in it to explore it, of course, it will not be too long, at most half a year later, before the second wave of the demon tide comes, it can be discussed." ”
"How can this scale of distorted space-time be so cleverly hidden, how many years has it been orbiting our world?" Israel nodded as well, "It may contain secrets from the last era—but in any case, its very existence means great value!" ”
A space-time distortion point that can secretly rotate in the void has not been discovered for at least a thousand years, and if it were not for the great demon tide, the technology represented by this existence itself could attract countless people to fly towards it like moths to fire, and it would not take long for a powerful exploration team to gather.
But Joshua vaguely understood the reason why these two people wanted to pull themselves over, he sighed, and said, "So, do you want to ask me to explore this space-time distortion point when the time comes?" ”
And the old mage and His Majesty the Emperor smiled together, the two were very tacit, Nostradamus shook his head and said: "No, Joshua, it's not you alone, it's the two of us, Israel is going to sit in the empire, so when the time comes, the two of us will join forces to explore." ”
"After all, you're the only one who's explored multiple worlds and made it back." Israel shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "Eagle has expressed envy of me more than once that there is a figure like you in my country. ”
"Would you refuse?" His Majesty the Emperor asked again.
Of course not. The warrior shook his head with the same smile, as Israel said, how could he refuse? Since his return from the world of Grandia and his advancement to the Legends, there has been nothing in this world that has piqued his competitiveness and curiosity for the time being, but the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Ground is undoubtedly a worthy challenge.
Joshua raised his head and looked ahead at the edge of the Fairy Country, obscuring the distorted space-time of countless starlights in front of him.
Unknown challenges. He thought so.
It's really good.
