Chapter 1: Meeting with God

Starfall 837, June 11, Northern Empire, Lord's House of the Inner City of Moldavia.

In the kitchen of the house, a silver-haired girl was humming a light-hearted song that was out of tune, sorting out the ingredients that had just been delivered.

The girl's eyes narrowed happily, and a pair of eyes were like fluorescent green crystals, and the magic light that flowed like flames in them was shining - from this alone, it was clear that her master's strength had crossed the barrier of silver and gold and became one of the superior transcendents, and at this time, the young gold-level girl tied her long silver hair into a ponytail, and then stood happily in front of the pool, washing a bunch of plump purple-red grapes.

The alluring aroma of fruit mixed with the vitality fluctuations that can be clearly sensed, came from this seemingly ordinary bunch of grapes, and after cleaning, it was placed in the crystal fruit plate next to it, and Hotaru carried this plate of fruit that seemed to be worth a lot of money, all the way to the study on the second floor of the lord's mansion.

Along the way, in the corridor by the window, you can see that in the courtyard outside the window, the black dragon girl is floating on the water in human form, her face is bloodless, she looks dying, and a ball of light rolls around on her belly - this is because black took advantage of someone not to interrupt the training on their own, but ran to the North Blank Sea to swim the consequences, and now, the black dragon girl who has doubled her training is actually grounded in Moldavia because of her physical exhaustion, and taking a dip in the pool of the lord's mansion is her rare rest time.

Passing by the hall, you can hear the sound of calm conversation, Rin is instructing the maids in the mansion to replace the various decorations in the lord's mansion, because the master's trophies are too much, and a small castle can't be displayed at all, so the decorations similar to dragon heads, magic horns, and demon specimens are changed every quarter. For ordinary people, this thing should be terrifying and terrifying, whether it is the dragon bones or the horns of demonic beasts, they all carry part of their coercion before their deaths, not to mention the malicious fluctuations brought by demon specimens, but looking at the plain expressions of those maids, it seems to be very habitual.

Walking up to the second floor, passing by the secret room, Hotaru heard No. 3 talking to herself, and she naturally didn't understand the words in the 'server load is 45%' and 'hey, why is there a bug here'. Since the information terminal began to officially try to popularize,Artificial intelligence girls seem to talk to themselves like this from time to time.,Fortunately, No. 3 has a lot of doppelgangers.,Now it's only the one that's dedicated to work.,As far as Hotaru knows,The other party has at least two doppelgangers in the city.,One is responsible for reading and walking.,One is responsible for monitoring and eating.。

Walking slowly, Hotaru opened the door to the study, and she entered it with a fruit bowl, then placed it in front of a man sitting on the couch with his eyes closed in meditation.

"Master, this is a special grape recently developed by the elves, and according to them, it can speed up wound healing and provide a certain amount of life force - of course, the most important thing is that it is delicious."

Whispering, the silver-haired girl knew that although the man in front of her was meditating with his eyes closed, if he wanted to, he could scan the entire northern land with his eyes closed, even if it was a thousand meters deep in ruins and monsters.

"Well, thank you."

Opening his eyes, Joshua nodded slightly, and he casually picked up half a bunch of grapes from the crystal fruit bowl on the table in front of him, and threw it into his mouth. He nodded: "It tastes good, this ability to accelerate wound healing is similar to the No. 14 holy water in a short period of time, and the extra vitality can also slightly strengthen the physique...... The elves have cultivated something good. ”

"Eh-" On the side, Hotaru, who was already sitting next to Joshua and was about to serve the warrior, blinked her big green eyes, she looked at the grapes that were already half missing, and complained in disappointment: "This-at least let me finish peeling it......"

What is there to peel when eating a grape.

Although he thought so, Joshua didn't say it—if he had to, he didn't need to eat at all now, whether it was eating grapes, skinning or eating, it was nothing more than a human habit and ritual for him...... That's how life is, there's no need to take it too seriously.

On the side of the study, the newly purchased large LCD screen is playing a replay of the morning news of the Royal Channel, and in the melodious music, two hosts, a man and a woman, talk about the general trend of foreign countries from the purge action within the empire, and the special speaker from the Mage Weekly also frequently speaks, explaining the inside story in detail. Generally speaking, it is probably the dire situation abroad, and the active reform at home.

In less than two months, the world has changed very differently, not to mention anything else, the LCD screen and its extension of 'news reporting' and 'current affairs analysis' have been called a revolutionary development.

Through the joint research and promotion of Wintercastle Academy and Guantian White Pagoda, LCD screens have begun to be popularized in half a continent, and almost all rich people with a little money will have an LCD screen in their homes. This special crystal from the ancient dragon derivative, which can adjust the color and brightness through special electromagnetic waves and magic power, is a natural magic material, and it can even be said that it is a naturally formed magic creation itself, after careful planning and cultivation, the empire and the Heavenly White Tower have been able to mass-produce liquid crystals and sell them as supplies.

"There's been a lot of novelty lately."

Sitting beside Joshua, Hotaru carefully peeled a grape, and then put it into Joshua's mouth, she glanced at the LCD screen, and sighed: "I feel that the changes in the past seven or eight years are not as old as the last half a year." ”

"Of course."

Joshua ate the grapes, he looked at the LCD screen, and replied nonchalantly: "After all, this is a new era. ”

Since the end of the legendary war that started because of the will of the world and affected several worlds, the entire McCrove world seems to be changing with each passing day, and it seems that the constraints and oppression are no longer there, and basically all the big forces have begun to comprehensively improve and innovate, and they have taken out a little bit of what they have pressed the bottom box and shown it to the world.

Northern Empire, the third batch of information terminals is being manufactured in the industrial base of the East Bant Plateau, most of which have been packaged and can be activated immediately, most of the more than 100,000 information terminals will be distributed to the army, and the remaining small part will be sold in the market, so that ordinary people can gradually adapt to this novelty.

In addition to the information terminal and LCD screen, the Void Battleship has also entered the eyes of many citizens as an important propaganda point of the Empire, but because the vast majority of people do not understand what the Void is, for them, the Void Battleship is just a faster and stronger floating battleship, and the response is unexpectedly small, and it is even far behind the teleportation network optimized by Nostradamus - the original expensive teleportation cost has been reduced to one-third of the original price after the improvement of the legendary powerhouse, For most people, this is great news.

In addition, in the past two months, the restless nobles in the empire have become a lot more honest, under the guidance of Islam, who is high on the throne of the observatory, all parts of the empire that were originally free and scattered have either taken the initiative or been forced to unite, even the most unruly local nobles are trembling under the blow of the Tianhuo system, they don't want to resist, but everyone understands that when a legendary powerhouse is unreasonable, then he is reasonable.

On the West Mountain, in addition to the Grand Duke Roman, who is actively preparing for war and preparing to annex the surrounding principalities and claim the throne, it is worth mentioning, a special kind of spiritual communication circle is spreading among the local group of psionic warlocks and mages, this is a spell that can connect consciousness, participants can share the speed of thought and inspiration, and can strengthen the tenacity of the soul and will, it can greatly increase the efficiency of the caster, but because the two sides of the union will lose privacy due to spiritual communication, Therefore, it is difficult to use even the closest people.

In the caster world of the West Mountain, this particular spell has caused an uproar, with many people morally and ethically criticizing it, accusing it of undermining the independence of the human soul and will, while a small group of casters who support it believe that this is the direction of future human cooperation and progress, and the debate and struggle between the two has caused large-scale academic disputes, and the actual struggle is completely predictable.

Compared to the West Mountain, there are too many novel magical creations in the eastern plains, and it is very difficult to choose even a few typical ones - through the artificial earth element for cultivating the field driven by the element, the artificial water element for automatic watering and fertilization, the rune machine tool that can mass-produce simple magic items, and the automatic building alchemy puppet that can turn soil into rock and rock into mud...... Years of academic accumulation broke out, and all the magic clubs in the entire Eastern Plains more or less threw out a few bottom-pressing box techniques, competing with each other, and the Eastern Plains at this time was almost on the eve of magical change.

These are all things that the major forces were forced to come up with in the previous life during the Abyss War. Looking at the LCD screen, the host showed various novel technologies around the world one by one, Qiao Shuya couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I didn't expect them to have it now, I thought it was all improvised at that time." ”

These techniques are not new to Joshua, and they can even be said to be very familiar.

In order to fight against the almost ubiquitous demon army, the empire had to spend a lot of money to strengthen the original teleportation network, so that the cost of teleportation was greatly reduced, and it was able to prevent the interference of various special circumstances and maintain the stability of teleportation.

And the three-person joint magic circle used by the psychic warlocks who were too sensitive and easily eroded by the power of the abyss to prevent spiritual pollution became the standard configuration of their battles at that time - as the saying goes, a psionic warlock is a joke, and when you encounter two psionic warlocks, you need to beware, and the three psionic warlocks will run directly, just because of its existence, as for what morality and ethics, let's discuss it after winning the demon.

And the automated building puppet of the Eastern Plains, the full name in the previous life was 'fully intelligent automated building template', the casters of the Eastern Plains who lost a large number of people because of the tsunami, had to use the alchemy puppet to farm, build and fight, of course, it was not a change at that time, but helplessness after being forced into a desperate situation.

These technologies that used to be used as battle cards, or helpless substitutes, are now just immature ideas and conjectures, they were top-secret technologies used in warfare in the past life, but now everyone has taken them out and used them as civilian technology to improve and use them a little bit to make the world a better place.

Of course, these are the progress of humanity itself, and there is another aspect of the world that needs special attention.

That is the gods who have descended, and the boundless heavens.

In Hotaru's protest, Joshua picked up a grape from his plate, swallowed the improved magic plant from the elves, and then looked up nonchalantly, his gaze piercing the wall and looking at the sky.

In the western part of the world, there is a distinctly visible circle of distorted space, surrounded by a holy glow, like a gentle white moon.

The Boundless Heavens have been completely integrated into the Mycrof world, the inheritance of the gods has fallen into the mortal world, and the mist of gods is looking for its own inheritors in the human world, passing on the knowledge of the ancients.

Just like some time ago, at the beginning of the Great Demon Tide, there were also a lot of mist of divine doom in the empire, but compared to the mystery and unknown at the beginning, they already had the experience given by Joshua. Now, after a period of clearing, these Mists of Doom have become places of trial in various places, and many organizations, including Wintercastle Academy, use them as trials to sharpen the next generation—and thanks to their divine powers, some lucky ones can occasionally bring various precious items and relics from the previous era.

In addition to the mist of divine misfortune, the gods of the seven gods and other races have now recovered from exhaustion, but their recovery is silent, as if a drop of water melts into a river - in the East China Sea, countless fishmen cheered because the gods who sheltered the deep sea and merfolk came to the mortal world, and the giant jellyfish floated into the sea into the temple lair prepared by the fish-people, which was the most high-profile deity of one of the gods, and the other gods came silently, without even making any waves.

A week ago, the gods joined forces to perform miracles, and they swept across the continent of Mycrof with their divine powers, sweeping away the gloom and death that had been deposited on it by years of war, and countless souls were redeemed, and the souls of the Jedi, who had slept in the unknown Jedi, died of war, of conspiracy, of lust and betrayal, were freed from resentment, and in the all-encompassing Light, all souls were relegated to the Boundless Heavens, the twisted space at the top of the Western Mountains.

Other than that, the gods never struck again, showing miracles.

Isn't this normal? For many ordinary people, this is indeed incomprehensible, but in reality, it is normal - God is not a monkey, God does not need to show His power to people, they only need to do their duty, and their names will be boasted of by others. The gods incarnated as saints and came to the world, not to call for wind and rain in the human world, but to prevent the world from being turbulent because of the demon tide.

But this is not to say that the gods do nothing, as in the Far South, where one of the seven gods, the god of love and decay, descended on the site of his greatest temple, the forest of the elves, and it is rumored that the Mentor of Nature and the Empress of the Elves met with this deity and had an in-depth exchange that lasted for many days.

So far, there has been no news from within the elves, and they are tight-lipped about the content of the exchange.

This kind of thing actually happens all over the world, although the gods have no intention of making big news, but their every move is concerned by everyone, for example, the West Mountain Dwarves welcome the god of law and freedom, the White Tower of the Sky meets the god of wisdom and choice, and the Church of the Seven Gods, the Holy Mountain Fortress rises high into the void, it docks with the eye of the sage, and becomes the largest man-made facility outside the world of Microf. It is rumored that all the incarnations of the Seven Gods of the Terran have spoken to Pope Eagle here, but no one knows what they talked to, and everything is surging in secret.

There are more and more differences between this life and the previous life, the world that was originally desperate, chaotic, full of malice and strife has become such a peaceful and positive appearance, the previous life has developed rapidly due to war, although there is a system, but in fact the flawed technology is now in an incomplete state, but Mrs. McCro no longer needs to drink to quench her thirst, they have time to modify the flaws in these technologies, so that they can be reproduced as civilian technologies without side effects.

In the Northland, Moldavia, in the Lord's Mansion, Joshua stretched out a finger and turned off the LCD screen in front of him.

Seven days.

He touched Hotaru's head at his side, his long smooth hair running across the warrior's palm, and the girl let out a comfortable hum, and Joshua closed her eyes and continued her meditation.

Seven days, seven days later, the incarnation of the god of power and justice will come to the Eastern Bande plateau, and he wants to meet the three legends of the empire, no one knows about it, only Josius, Israel, and Nostradamus. What did the gods want to talk to them for?

The warrior was curious, and he couldn't wait. With his eyes closed, Joshua felt the power within himself.
