"You're too slow, why did Hotaru and Rin arrive before you?"

Imperial Royal Spells Society, President's Office, Nostradamus' disgruntled voice echoed through the room.

"I comforted a scared child, but I didn't expect some unexpected gains."

Walking out of the gate of time and space, Joshua didn't care about the old mage's questioning. There was still a long time before the set time, he should have set off early, and with Nostradamus here, they didn't need to care about the distance of the space at all, and they could go to the vicinity of the Void Distortion Point at any time.

As for the previous move of No. 3, except for lamenting that he didn't expect it to have evolved to this point, the warrior didn't have any other superfluous feelings, after all, no matter what the situation was, it was too early.

Although the world has escaped a future of destruction, there are still countless crises. Abyss demons, earth and demonic beasts, unknown ancient dragons, evil gods returning from the other side of the multiverse, and the darkness lurking among the stars, everything is far from being able to relax, not to mention that Joshua has to follow in the footsteps of the sages to understand the truth of the ancient loss, stand at the apex of the multiverse, and fight with the powerhouses of countless worlds. He was far from the time to stop in order to accomplish these goals.

"There's something peculiar about your new pet."

He was already accustomed to Joshua's occasional nonsensical answers, Nostradamus shrugged his shoulders, he turned his head to look at the ball of light that was full of interest and seemed to want to squirt water, and let it go, the old mage said with some regret: "A such spiritual elemental creature can be said to be the best magic pet for a mage, and it is a waste to give you this warrior." ”

A good magic pet can help mages share the burden of magic power, accelerate the composition of large-scale spells, and even move the energy bank part-time, in short, it has a lot of functions, and can help a mage improve his own strength to a higher level, and light, as an almost elemental life, is actually a more high-level existence, in the eyes of Nostradamus, it is indeed a perfect model of magic pet.

"Don't you?" Joshua asked a little strangely, after all, as a legendary mage, Nostradamus had an entire empire as his backing, not to mention a demon pet, as long as he wanted to, even if he captured an elemental elder, it would not be difficult. But when he asked, he seemed to remember something, so he shook his head and closed his mouth.

- Of course, it's not that there isn't, but the other party's former partner died of magic overload when the orcs invaded the war, and since then, Nostradamus has never received a magic favor.

"Waste isn't a bad thing, at least not to go to war...... But what are you doing with it this time? You don't know how to spell. ”

Skipped the question, Nostradamus watched as the ball of light flew around his office, and finally slowly landed above Hotaru's head, the legendary mage sitting in his chair, a little puzzled, "Exploring the distortion point of time and space may not be difficult, but it is not easy enough to take your pet on sightseeing. ”

"Light is no ordinary ball...... Creature. Joshua didn't plan to tell anyone else Hikari's true identity for the time being, and he hadn't fully confirmed the matter of the Blood Moon Abyss, and it hadn't reached the bottom where it could be exposed, so he explained from the side: "I brought it here to verify a guess, not a temporary idea. ”

For this explanation, Joshua didn't lie, Hotaru and Rin are his weapons, this exploration of the distortion point of time and space is far more important than the last time I went to the abyss to find someone, so it must be called, and the body of light is suspected of the existence of the initial fire, the prototype of the will of the world, take it to the ancient sacrificial ground that connects all worlds, maybe there is really some special use, and it really can't, he can also use the resonance of the power of steel to stuff the light back to its body at any time, there will be no danger.

"In that case, feel free."

Seeing that Joshua had his own considerations, Nostradamus didn't say much, he stood up from his seat, and then said: "On this trip to explore the Void Distortion Point, there are four major forces, and five legendary powerhouses are pressing the formation, namely you and me representing the empire, Barbarossa representing the Heavenly White Tower, Faina the sage representing the alliance of coastal city-states in the Eastern Plains, and Godard, the Fishman Priestess, because the fairy country is the closest half-plane to the target, so we have reached an agreement with all the fairy queens, You can start exploring with Fairy Country as a station. ”

This information had actually been told to Joshua through other channels not long ago, but the legendary mage still repeated it himself: "Through calculation and analysis, as well as the temptation of prophecy spells, it can be determined that this exploration will not be too difficult, so everything is in accordance with the tradition of the past few hundred years, let each force send elite squads into it to explore, and the legend only needs to press the formation." ”

"Are these the only ones?"

Unlike Nostradamus, Joshua, who knew what the ruins behind the aberration point were, was a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this was normal, the various forces in the south of the Mycrof continent, such as the Church of the Seven Gods, the Elven Court or the Far South Kingdom, all had a lot of things to do, whether it was post-disaster reconstruction, purifying the polluted land or planting the World Tree, they were not allowed to be distracted, although the Void Distortion Point was important, it was far inferior to these, so these forces sent some messengers to watch the record at most, No elites will be sent to participate.

And Xishan is not to mention, they are originally a kingdom ruled by scattered warlock families and transcendentals, and the strong are basically the kings of a country, and it is basically impossible for them to abandon their territory for this kind of thing, not to mention that the underground world races have recently begun to officially establish diplomatic relations with the outside world, and their energy has been completely invested in this aspect.

"That's enough, five legends pressed the formation, this is a line of defense that may not be able to break through even if the entire abyss comes out, if it weren't for the fact that this ancient distortion point is very important, it is very likely that it has the valuable technology and heritage of the Glorious Age period, plus its own value that can be stable for thousands of years, how could we have gathered such a powerful exploration team?"

Standing in the center of his office, Nostradamus raised his head and looked in the direction of the sky, with a serious expression: "Go early, prepare early, it's time to go." ”

Joshua naturally would not refuse, so in the next second, with the far more powerful space-time fluctuations than ever before and the faint blue magical light that overflowed the window, everyone in the room passed through the gap in time and space under the power of the legendary mage, and went to the other side of the distant void.

At about the same time, in the eastern sea of the continent, inside a towering rock tower that seemed to grow directly from the continental shelf, a bald old man dressed plainly and holding a pipe in his hand stood on the high platform of his mage tower's teleportation array, scanning the twelve silent elite mages in the array with scrutinizing eyes, his eyes had no pupils and whites, only a burning light, the elemental master Barbarossa was not a man of many words, he was used to planning before acting, Replace his own language with down-to-earth actions, and his apprentices and disciples are naturally influenced by their own teachers, and have similar personality traits.

"The action begins." He said briefly.

And so the light of teleportation lit up.

And perceiving the actions of old acquaintances and old opponents, the most prosperous port city in the eastern waters of the Microf continent, where the Sea Dragon Knights are stationed, in the humble hut of a small island around Sea Dragon City, a plainly dressed woman with closed eyes tied up her ivory waist-length hair, and her face indifferently activated the magic circle that can make time and space ripple, and in the distant sea area opposite it, in the center of the new gathering place of the fish-man clan, the same fluctuations tore through the shackles of space, Send the giant black fishman and its elite to the predetermined area.

Outside the Mycrof world, in the chaotic astral void, there are thousands of bright light clusters attached to the light film of the world, they are large or small, the big one seems to be like the moon clinging to the earth, and the small one is only a few meters in diameter, this is the external image of the half-plane attached to the main world in the void, and in these thousands of light clusters, there is a dark distorted space-time is extremely conspicuous, it slowly rotates around the world, and now it happens to come to the periphery of a huge light cluster.

With the Divine Machines sibling and the ball of light, Joshua and Nostradamus traveled through the space-time passage to the Fairy Country. The process of teleportation between the half-plane and the world was quite long and complicated, and it still needed to pass the review of the fairy queens, but fortunately, there was nothing wrong in the process, and the group successfully came to the edge of the fairy country, facing the dark distorted time and space.

"There are still a lot of people."

Scanning the surrounding stations, Joshua felt quite surprised, because on the edge of this elf country, there were four simple camps far apart, each camp had more than twenty logistics personnel preparing supplies, as if they wanted to make this place a temporary base, and the camp where he and Nostradamus came was also fifteen professionals who looked extremely elite at first, they were wearing the same style of armor and robes, they should be members of the same team, including mages, priests, warriors, archers, Alchemists and thieves can be said to be a team of adventurers equipped with standard equipment.

And before he could continue to look at his surroundings, three successive space-time fluctuations were transmitted from the other three camps, and Joshua could feel that at this moment, there were three powerful beings shuttling from the other side of time and space. Among them, there is an aggregate of elements that shimmers with colorful light, an existence that is rapidly assimilating with the environment of the surrounding fairy country, and completely unites itself with heaven and earth in a short instant, and there is also a dark abyss that seems to be incomprehensible.

Barbarossa, the Elemental Master, Faina, the Sage of the Sea, and Godard, the Fishman Priestess, are three legendary powerhouses, bringing their most elite teams to the edge of time and space in this elven country at the same time.

Joshua observed the other party with interest, and the others also observed him, the bald old man narrowed his eyes slightly, what he saw was a majestic volcano, gushing golden-red molten steel, the woman with closed eyes frowned, what she sensed was a solid and self-contained piece of steel, the changes in the surrounding world seemed to have nothing to do with it, and the black tall fishman arranged the sacrificial ornaments made of skulls and gems on his neck, what it saw was the most condensed and pure vitality, It boils like a flame, releasing a heat that makes you want to stay away.

And after this brief exchange of observations, a brief exchange began.

"Then, human beings, according to the agreement."

In the distance, an obscure spiritual fluctuation came from the fish-man camp: "First split up, send a team to conduct preliminary exploration, share with each other after having some information, and then summarize and speculate." ”

This is the plan of action that the four major forces have negotiated a long time ago: the space-time distortion point is a distorted space-time, and its essence is speculated by the legendary powerhouses, it should be an artificial half-plane like the fairy township, but because of some accidents, it is not attached to the McCrof world, but moves around the outer membrane of the world in the astral void. And because of this, none of the powerful Legendary powerhouses can rush into it, because if their powerful power is not restrained against the power of this half-plane, it is likely to cause extremely serious consequences, including but not only the possibility of the destruction of the entire half-plane.

Therefore, before Joshua and the others make a move, the major forces will let the elite professionals they selected enter it first, collect the information of various parameters of the half-plane, so that the legends can fine-tune the essence of their power and not cause conflicts with this half-plane, just like the warriors who went to the world of Grandia and needed time to adapt to the local steel power.

Splitting up is to avoid conflict. After all, the three major forces of the Eastern Plains have serious contradictions with each other, and if one side discovers that the other side has found any important relics or materials in it, then they will undoubtedly attack each other and then develop into a frontal battle, which will not only deepen the contradictions, but also make the exploration futile and only when they encounter a special and serious situation, everyone will join forces to solve it.

Nostradamus seems to be familiar with this series of processes, he has participated in and even presided over many similar joint operations in the past few decades, but it is probably the first time for him to be among legendary powerhouses. Joshua also felt that it was very novel, but this novelty mainly came from perspective.

"Limited-level dungeons, low-level elite exploration teams that are drawn and formed, mainly serve as a background board, and only shoot at critical moments."

He whispered to himself, and even laughed, causing Hotaru and Rin on his side to glance sideways, and Nostradamus also turned his head suspiciously, Joshua didn't care about the gaze of others, but looked at the warped space that was slowly moving in the void: "It's really familiar, but the identity has changed." ”

In the past, he was the one who participated in the exploration, but now, he is a member of the stabilization.

Unconsciously, he has also reached this point.
