Joshua didn't really have much interest in what treasures he went to the Imperial Treasury to get, his strength had reached his point, not that transcendental-level magic items could no longer bring about an increase in combat effectiveness, his body and fighting spirit were the best armor and enchantments, and his fists were the strongest killing machines.

What's more, he already had a very good weapon - the warrior smiled sideways at the two young girls who were whispering, not knowing what they were talking about.

If he did come back with a weapon, there would be a lot of trouble at home.

But in any case, since Israel had made a decision, it would not be taken for nothing, so after saluting His Majesty the bold emperor, Nostradamus took Joshua and the others to the other palaces.

"There's not necessarily anything good in the vault."

On the way, the old mage shook his head and said leisurely: "Those are some items that can only be used under certain conditions, as a royal collection, they must be very powerful, they may not be used, but it depends on the quality of the person." ”

Hearing this, Joshua remembered the messy things in his collection, such as the Flame Twin Snake Ring, which was only for women, and he couldn't even wear it, only he could see it, and so far he didn't know what the use of the burning steel fragments was, so the warrior nodded with deep sympathy: "That's true, the ones that are easy to use are basically used by themselves, and those that can't be used for the time being or can't be used will be stored in the treasury." ”

"That's not what it means...... But it's good to be able to understand, and when I say this, it doesn't mean that everything in it is not practical. ”

Along the way, they met a lot of palace staff, and when they saw Joshua and his party, they all respectfully stopped what they were doing and stood in place, while Nostradamus led them through several light and dark portals, through several corridors where there were no people, and came to a relatively quiet palace. ”

With that, they came to a granite hall hidden deep in the palace complex.

On the opposite side of this hall, there is a dusty door, on which there are endless magic runes flowing in light and darkness, the light flickers, releasing powerful cold fluctuations, and the entire hall is like the northern polar region, but there is no frost.

"Crex's Sevenfold Space-Time Imprisonment?"

Brandon, who hadn't spoken much all the time, suddenly spoke, his expression was surprised: "Extreme Intention Level Sevenfold Compound, Space-Time and Spell Energy Combined Magic? Even if it's a royal treasury, this level of defense is the most high-end! ”

"When I set up this circle, it took a lot of time."

And the old mage stretched out his hand, and a faint blue luster burst out from his fingertips, touching the magic circle, Nostradamus smiled: "Since Israel said to choose at will, then naturally there is no need to be polite to His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire, if Joshua doesn't take a good thing back, he himself will feel shameless." ”

As he spoke, he easily lifted the powerful defensive magic on the door, and the dusty door slowly opened, and everyone slowly came to him.

"Please, Joshua, and the rest of us will stay outside."

The old mage said, looking a little mysterious: "What is inside may be very suitable for you. ”

What does a royal vault look like?

Perhaps resplendent in gold, or full of treasures, powerful magical items emit rainbow light that fills the entire treasury with brilliant colors......

Joshua thought of many possibilities.

But what appeared in front of him was an ordinary room like a museum, full of antiquities.

There were no precious gems and magical materials, no powerful enchanted weapons and armor, no magic books with powerful spells, only rows of rusty remnants of old armor, broken armor, and only bottles and jars without any brilliance on the shelves on the side, which did not seem to be a cherished potion.

"It really surprised me."

Squinting his eyes slightly, Joshua was not disappointed by this scene, he was instead aroused by this abnormal scene.

The sophistication of the previous sevenfold confinement array, even he was secretly frightened, as the chief archmage of the empire, Nostradamus was not far behind even if he did not have an advanced legend, and it must be exceptional for him to be able to carefully arrange such a powerful treasure trove for him.

First of all, those potions, Joshua looked at those dusty bottles and cans, he could sense that there was actually a powerful power inside, but it seemed that they were all some kind of special bloodline, it should be a special bloodline awakening potion.

This kind of medicine can endow people with a trace of supernatural life, so as to awaken all kinds of abilities, and there are almost no side effects, the only disadvantage is that it is very physical, if it does not meet the requirements, it cannot be used at all.

Sweeping through these potions, Joshua knew that they contained powerful bloodlines including all kinds of dragons, even if they were goblins, semi-illusory creatures that almost only existed in the fantasy realm, and each potion was more valuable than a divine weapon or a set of solid armor, because the bloodline could be stably inherited, but the weapon was not.

But these potions have no effect on Joshua, the warrior has long passed the level of needing bloodline elixirs, if he goes further, the power of the extreme will level will naturally be able to completely transcend his life essence, and his descendants will naturally have some special talents, and there is no need to use these potions that will change the essence of his life.

Although the potion was inconspicuous, it was extremely precious, which made Joshua also interested in those old equipment, maybe it was some hidden powerful equipment? Just like the magic machine before the contract, although it was covered in rust, once it awakened, it turned into an extremely sharp blade.

Walking step by step, the warrior slowly looked at the old weapons or other equipment, from the appearance of the placement, it can be seen that these things are kept very carefully, there is not even a trace of dust on them, and the purification circle all over the hall maintains the environment in the best state.

But why?

Joshua's brow furrowed, and he could tell that the weapons were clearly completely destroyed, and that they were not hidden, but that they were.

Their blades were gone, and their edges were even a little broken, not to mention the armor, their armor had long since decayed, and the leather that connected the joints had deteriorated to the point where they could not be used, no matter how much they were maintained.

Does it really take so much trouble to keep these things? Even the potions over there are not as careful as the storage here.

Puzzled, he stretched out his hand and picked up a broken flag, Joshua looked at the flagpole with a slight bend, and the battle flag was already broken, and the warrior whispered to himself: "What is so special about you that you can be placed here?" ”

As he spoke, his spirit swept by, and the flag seemed to sense something, and it vibrated slightly, as if to speak.

Joshua, on the other hand, saw a vision here.

It was a battlefield of corpses and a sea of blood, the sun was sinking slightly, and in the light of the setting sun, countless warriors could be seen struggling to fight the enemy, the wilderness was full of blood, the world seemed to be purgatory, and in the shouting and killing that seemed to break the sky, a pitch-black, as if it could swallow everything black crack hung high in the sky, and countless monsters poured out of it.

It was an unusually large, black carapace monster with huge horns, a long tail, and bat-like wings.

A monster called a demon.

And in the midst of this battlefield between man and demon, in the dim light of the sun about to set, a warrior holding a flag slowly stood up, because his face was covered with blood scabs, so he couldn't see his face clearly, he was covered with wounds, as if he was going to fall down in the next moment, but at this moment, his figure was so tall, this warrior stepped on the corpse of a demon, waving the flag in his hand.

In the wind, there seems to be a sound.

"The battle is not over yet - comrades-in-arms!"

The voice was sonorous and powerful, as if it could travel through time and space: "Charge with me!" ”

The illusion ended here, and Joshua, who had reacted, stared at the broken flag in his hand in shock, and subconsciously clenched it.

"Second Abyss Battle?! No...... It hasn't happened yet, it's earlier, more ......"

The voice was slowly low, and the warrior's face gradually became solemn: "The last era - the first invasion of the abyss!" ”

This flag came from a thousand years ago!

And the results of the system identification also appeared in front of Joshua's eyes.

【Danielle's Legacy】

[Black Iron-level broken weapon, an ordinary battle flag, but it contains the soulful cry of a human soldier, and this power has made it survive thousands of years without being completely damaged. 】

[--Charge, even if it is death.] 】

"Could it be that these weapons ...... These armors ......"

Holding the battle flag in his hand, the warrior looked around the entire vault, occupying nearly half of the broken equipment, even with his knowledge, the shock in his heart could not be calmed.

Putting down the banner in his hand, Joshua picked up a huge shield that had been completely deformed by the heat, this shield seemed to have some pattern or magic circle painted on it, it was once supposed to be an enchanted equipment, but it was worn out by time, and the warrior lifted it up and poured it with spirit.

This time, the illusion was not a battlefield, but a stream and canyon deep in the mountains, where several figures were fighting a huge figure, accompanied by a dragon roar that resounded through the sky, and no matter who knew its identity.

A dragon.

The dragon was attacking a team of women and children, young and old, trembling under the dragon's power, and the figures fighting in front of them, though powerful, could not take the initiative in front of the dragon.

Either way, humans are always more cooperative than a lone dragon, and as time goes on, the dragon gradually loses to the upper hand, and just as the dragon realizes that it is about to die, it roars and spits out a fiery breath at the women and children in the group.

"No!"

A roar of shock came from several figures who were fighting, but at this time, a figure burst out of the crowd, it was a young woman, holding a shield larger than her body, firmly blocking the dragon's breath, completely blocking the team behind her.

Rumble!

The hot beam hit directly in the center of the shield, and the instantaneous heat was enough to melt the metal, and the enchanted solid shield also began to collapse and deform, and the terrifying heat came from the metal, which was enough to scorch the flesh and blood of the warriors, not to mention this ordinary woman who could only lift the shield by virtue of a momentary outburst.

But in the heat, the young woman did not flinch, screaming, crying, pouring out her pain, but still did not let go of the hand that supported the shield, even if it had been completely scorched and turned into dry bones.

The dragon's breath was over, and the figure in front of her had completely killed the dragon, but the young woman had completely turned into a charred corpse under the heat of the dragon's breath, but even if it was death, she did not take a step back.

【Ella's Guardian】

[The silver-level broken shield, a giant shield that was too heavy, used to have a strong defensive ability, but because it was too heavy in skirmishes, it was not used much until a mother lifted it to protect her child. 】

[――A mother's love is the guardian of persistence]

"I see...... It is not the weapon itself that is precious, but the history and will ...... contained in it."

-- For a warrior, weapons and armor are only tools used in battle, and what is really fighting is himself, his will.

Taking a deep breath, Joshua's expression gradually calmed down, he looked at the countless broken equipment in front of him, knew what it contained, a trace of respect appeared in his eyes, and understood the value of these equipment.

These are weapons that contain a warrior, or a person's soul and faith, they are broken, but the power in them can make people understand what glory is, what perseverance is, what is the responsibility and persistence of a warrior...... For a powerful warrior like Joshua, they may not be of much use, but they can bring courage from the depths of the heart of an otherwise cowardly person.

The emperors and princes of the Delmond royal family have far more bravery and faith than ordinary people, perhaps because of this.

For a moment, Joshua couldn't make a choice, and a person as decisive as him actually fell into hesitation.

As equipment, they are too small in value, but as heirlooms, they are truly priceless.

"Which should I choose?"

Looking at them, Joshua whispered to himself, and as if in response to the warrior's words, some of the weapons and equipment that had been placed began to hum, making the sound of the battle of the golden iron horse, and the flag he picked up first was even more windless, the broken battle flag fluttered, and the horn of the charge was faintly heard, but the shield similar to Ella's guardian did not resonate.

Just as Joshua is choosing them, some of them are choosing Joshua, and some are rejecting them.

But the warriors seemed to have made up their minds.

Joshua took a deep breath, and then, as he walked through each broken piece of weaponry, the sound of solemn and slow steps echoed through the room, and the warrior remembered the cry or silent insistence of the soul that had been passed down for hundreds of millennia.

"O souls who have passed away." He spoke, his voice low, but it reverberated through the room.

I have taken your determination to heart.

I will carry all your convictions on my back.

-- This is the inheritance
