Chapter 9 The Best Candidate
Just as the mages of the imperial capital were making their decisions, Joshua was in the side hall of St. Lauren's Cathedral, waiting for the teleportation array to open. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
In addition to the portal built by Master Nostradamus himself on the top floor of the Lord's Palace, there are two teleportation arrays in the main city of Moldavia, one of which is located in the Chamber of Commerce in the north of the city, and the other is in the church, St. Lauren's Cathedral.
Under the busy adjustment of a young priest, the originally dim magic array slowly lit up, and as the holy light filled, the dark blue space-time power began to operate, and little by little, the fluorescence drifted away, filling the entire side hall.
"The portal to White Dove City has been opened."
The priest apprentice who adjusted the circle was a big black-haired boy, probably no more than twenty years old, looking a little shy, after making sure that the portal had been opened, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled nervously at everyone, and said softly, "Lord Lord, you can use it at any time." ”
"Good work."
The warrior nodded slightly, the effect of the misty pocket watch was indeed useful, even such a young man who looked very shy, he didn't show much fear after seeing him, at most his expression and movements were a little stiff.
In this way, it should not cause riots in the imperial capital.
Turning his head, Joshua carefully observed this magic circle.
In previous lives, warriors often used teleportation arrays to shuttle from place to place, and although the magic array in front of them was a little different from the magic array, the effect and even the nodes where the energy ran were the same.
The Mycrof continent is so vast, the distance traveled from one end to the other is impossible for ordinary people to walk in a lifetime, even if it is a professional, if there is no teleportation spell, it is very difficult to do this.
In the hills and grasslands of the wilderness, there are countless demonic beasts and monsters lurking, facing the raging horse thieves and vicious alien tribes, even large caravans will feel tricky, especially the journey through the black forest between the mountains, its danger is beyond the imagination of ordinary people, if there is no gold-level powerhouse, or a huge dragon beast leader, it is difficult to move an inch.
No matter how prosperous the city is, it is only a rural place without a teleportation array, and the Northland has always been called a remote marginal area before, precisely because of the frequent turmoil in time and space here, it is impossible to set up a portal, but this has been changed last year, and since this spring, adventurers from all over the world have used the Chamber of Commerce's teleportation array to come to Moldavia, and then go to explore the mountains and ice fields.
Through the dark blue space-time door, the main hall of the White Dove City Church could already be seen, and Joshua could even see the golden lines on the walls of the main hall.
The teleportation network on the Mycrof continent is generally divided into three sets, one is the teleportation network between chambers of commerce, semi-civilian, anyone can use it as long as they pay money, one is the internal network established by the national government, which can basically only be used by nobles or the military, and the last set is the network in the cathedrals of the Church of the Seven Gods, which is stricter than the Chamber of Commerce, but stricter than the national network, and generally depends on the prestige of the user in the local church.
Naturally, Joshua's prestige goes without saying.
After the space-time gate was completely stabilized, he took Ying and Rin and crossed the space-time gate neatly.
And at the same time, in the imperial capital.
"I don't have time."
When the mage who had come to visit the Kaos family met the blonde swordsman and tactfully made his request, the answer he received was a cold refusal: "Please go back." ”
Located in the northern part of the inner city of the Imperial Capital, the Kaos family's residence is a classic mansion with a quaint shape, which looks like an ordinary house on the outside, but on the inside is decorated with unimaginable luxury.
Like the starry sky, the star crystal floor that releases a little golden glow, with the silver ring pyroxene lamp overhead, people can't help but feel that they are deep in the starry sky, the middle-aged mage from the Royal Mage Association stood in the center of the hall of this mansion, he couldn't help but turn red after hearing the other party's refusal, but this mage did not dare to easily vent his anger of being despised.
Here, however, the Kaos family's mansion in the imperial capital, facing the future successor of the empire's most powerful spellcaster family, the blonde swordsman who is known as the next generation of sword masters, even as a gold-level mage, he doesn't dare to say a word.
But then again, he had already guessed the outcome.
There are many factions in the Imperial Royal Mage Association, and the lord behind him has always been at odds with the Kaos family and the Nostradamus family, and when he came here, this middle-aged mage had already been prepared to be rejected, or even humiliated, and now it was just a peaceful refusal, which could be regarded as a good ending.
"Listen to Frieh, I know what you're doing, and you're relying on me to cleanse the Chaos Mists unleashed by the Erebos Box."
But just as the middle-aged mage was about to say goodbye and leave here, the blonde swordsman, Brandon Kaos, said calmly: "Although your mentor has always been at odds with our family, this time is a matter of dignity for the imperial mages, and I don't want the guys in the White Tower of the Sky to get an excuse to mock them. ”
The middle-aged mage named Fulia stopped his actions, he turned his head, and said with some joy and surprise: "So Brandon, you have changed your mind and plan to help us?" ”
"No, of course not, I really don't have time, I didn't lie to you."
With a wave of his hand, he turned his head to look at the bell in the hall, and the blonde swordsman's expression became a little gentle, and he seemed to be in a good mood, so he patiently explained: "Soon, I am going to leave for the Northlands for a pleasant family trip with my wife and daughters, and your troubles are less important than this one-in-a-thousand. ”
――Family travel?
Fulia couldn't help but be stunned, the news of Brandon's marriage was not widely circulated, he didn't understand what the word meant, but another more important sentence diverted the mage's attention and reached his ears: "Although I will not help you, I will recommend you another candidate, he also has the purifying power you need, even stronger than me." ”
Brandon smiled subtly as he said this, but the middle-aged mage didn't pay attention to it—and didn't bother to pay attention to it—he quickly asked, "Who?" ”
"A friend of mine, I don't know why lately, he doesn't answer my newsletters, so I don't know if he has time to help you, but you guys can give it a try."
Shrugging his shoulders with some regret, the blonde swordsman pronounced the name in Flya's eager eyes: "Joshua van Radcliffe, lord of Moldavia in the Northlands—perhaps you already know this name, he is the one I recommended." ”
"That Earl of the Dragon Slayer, the man who single-handedly blocked the Black Tide?"
Frowning, the middle-aged mage pondered his words, and he looked a little hesitant: "I know, of course I know him, such an amazing martial artist - His Majesty the Emperor praised this not long ago, but isn't he a warrior?" ”
The follow-up was not spoken, but it was clear what Fulia meant - could someone who didn't know anything about magic really be of any help to their research?
"Although I was born into a family of spellcasters, I am also a swordsman, and as long as I can purify the black fog of the box of Erebos, then it will be the same regardless of the profession."
Not caring about the other party's distrust, Brandon simply turned around, and he gave an eviction order: "I don't need to lie to you in this matter, in terms of the purification ability of the forces of darkness and chaos, Joshua is indeed far superior to me, as long as you can find him and let him agree to your request, then you will definitely not be disappointed." ”
"Please come back."
