"You're going to leave now?"

Atanis stood up, he still had some doubts in his heart about the so-called black blood, after all, the sudden plague or something was really a little weird, but this doubt disappeared when facing the man in front of him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Joshua was a man who didn't lie, and he didn't lie, and he had said many strange, delusional things, but they all came true in the end, and the old bishop might have tried it if the other people were, but Joshua wouldn't.

This is a warrior to be trusted.

"Almost, I'm in good shape right now."

Also standing up, Joshua took a deep breath, the strong fighting qi centered on the heart, as the blood vessels spread throughout the body, a burst of red light circulated around the body, the warrior felt the power in the body, and then looked out the window and asked, "How is Hei lately?" Why didn't I see it? ”

"It's too big to get into the city, so I've got it taken to Nyssière's Winter Castle, which is so big that it can accommodate at least one dragon."

Shaking his head, Atanis seemed to sigh with emotion: "It's getting bigger and bigger, what have you been feeding it lately...... By the way, I'll go and bring that thing out to you first, if you just go directly to the imperial capital, it will definitely cause a huge riot. ”

As if suddenly remembering something, the old bishop immediately turned and walked to the door, and he asked Joshua to wait in the room for a moment, and then walked to the staircase.

"Speaking of which, we don't seem to have been idle at all lately."

Watching the old bishop leave, Rin who was sitting on the side stretched out, and the black-haired young man said in a lazy tone, "It's really busy." ”

"Come to think of it, it'...... like this"

Ying leaned on the table and said in a soft tone, "After fighting for so long, I think I really need to take good care of it...... It's not good to deal with the plague or anything. ”

The silver-haired girl's expression and demeanor can only be described in one word, and that is tiredness.

"Don't worry, it's not our turn to deal with something like the plague."

Joshua sat back in his chair, he looked at the young girl's tired appearance with a little amusement, of course the warrior understood that it was precisely because of the reason why things like the plague could not be cut with weapons, so Ying and Rin were not interested.

After thinking for a while, Joshua comforted his two weapons: "At most, we can deal with the plague in our own territory, and if we really deal with this invisible disease, it still depends on the strength of the empire and the church, and it is not our turn to bother." ”

The reason for the large-scale outbreak of the plague in the previous life was because the dragon plague blocked the connection between the Far Sea Holy Mountain and the outside world, and all kinds of cultists created riots in the refugee flow, which attracted the attention of the high-level of the Far South Kingdom, and did not have time to blockade the epidemic area, and in this life, the dragon vaccine appeared at least a year or two earlier, the pressure of the dragon disaster was not so great, and the Far Sea Holy Mountain did not lose contact with the outside world, so it is still unknown whether the black blood can cause such a large number of casualties.

Even if he could, it didn't make sense, he went to the imperial capital to completely strangle this possibility in the cradle, although Joshua didn't remember how to make the medicine for it, but he knew what the material was! The original task of collecting materials for special potions was a daily routine for all players in the Far South, and even now, he can clearly recall what materials are needed and how much they are.

Soon after, Atanis returned to his room.

He held a pocket watch in his hand, the body of the watch was silver, the chain shimmered with a warm metallic light, it looked a little old, the old bishop handed the pocket watch directly to Joshua, and the warrior was not polite, and took it.

Opening it, Joshua found that inside, like a normal pocket watch, the hands were slowly moving, and it was the current time.

"Just inject a little magic or vindictiveness, its function is to hinder other people's perception of you."

Atanis explained the utility of the pocket watch to Joshua: "Although it cannot change your appearance, ordinary people will not be able to recall your appearance after being affected by it, and the resentment and chaotic aura on your body will be concealed, so that at least it will not cause panic." ”

-- But it's inevitable to walk around.

"Thank you."

Joshua injected a little fighting energy on the spot, turned on its effect, and a wave of magic power immediately covered the warrior's whole body, at this moment, Ying, Rin and Atanis all had the illusion that Joshua had disappeared, obviously Joshua was standing in front of them, but the thought of 'there is nothing here' was spinning back and forth in their brains.

However, this illusion is only for a moment, after an instant, everything is back to normal, but the strong sense of presence on the warrior's body has indeed weakened a lot, if it used to be like the sun, as long as you see it, there is no way not to notice, then now Joshua is just an ordinary tall man, although eye-catching, even leading people to look back, but that's all.

【Mist Pocket Watch】

【High Magical Creations】

[Effect: Greatly reduces the holder's sense of presence and shields low-level probing spells.] 】

[--Who can recall the passer-by who walked in the fog and passed by?] 】

"Not bad."

Seeing everyone's reaction, Joshua nodded with satisfaction, "Thank you for your hard work, Bishop Atanis, this suits me very well." ”

"This is the equipment I used to use, I traveled throughout the empire back then, and in order not to cause conflict in certain sensitive areas, I specially customized this magic item."

The old bishop smiled slightly, he looked at the pocket watch in Joshua's hand, and there was a hint of nostalgia in his eyes: "It's been more than thirty years, I didn't expect it to still work so well, the last time I took it out, I still drank with Fan." ”

The room fell silent at the mention of the name of the previous housekeeper of the Radcliffe family, and Atanis also noticed this, and he laughed self-deprecatingly: "When people are old, it is easy to remember the past. ”

"The past should be recalled."

Putting the pocket watch in his arms, Joshua shrugged his shoulders, and his eyes also revealed a hint of nostalgia, and he muttered in a low voice: "Yes, the four hundred years of Radcliffe family's obsession have ended, and the chaos in the world of Karlis has completely dissipated, and everything is over. ”

Maybe you should find a time to go back to the family cemetery in the Black Forest Fortress.

- Tell the souls who have passed away that their perseverance has been answered.

And just as the people of Moldavia were ready to leave.

Imperial Capital, Royal Mage Society, Large Underground Laboratory No. 2.

In the center of the solemn, icy steel hall, there stood a huge square crystal dome with a height of tens of meters, and the crystal dome was filled with a gray and strange mist.

This fog obscured all vision, and even if there were dozens of high-powered positive energy arrays around it emitting a steady stream of light, there was no way to purify it and see the existence behind it.

It can be seen that this fog seems to have an unknown source, and its concentration is still increasing little by little, if it is not offset by the high concentration of positive energy, maybe this fog would have turned black long ago.

Around this crystal cover, there stood seven mages in white robes with powerful magical aura surging on their bodies, and they were discussing with each other in low voices as they watched this scene.

"Ordinary positive energy and holy light cannot be completely purified, only the fog released by the 'Erebos Box' can be contained."

An old man with a low voice said to the other mages around him with a serious face: "There are only ten days left before the three-month deadline given to us by His Majesty the Emperor, if we can't parse this fog and open the box of Erebos, the empire will transfer it to the group of fools who are above the top of the eyes in the Eastern Heavenly White Tower according to the agreement." ”

"At that time, not to mention the anger of His Majesty the Emperor, the funds of the association will be reduced, and we will definitely be treated as waste and hung on the pillar of shame."

"But we haven't even been able to make contact so far!"

Another middle-aged mage with an extremely bad face frowned and said, "The inside of the gray mist is chaos, no matter what method is used, there is no way to get close to its center, although we use white crystals to isolate this mist, but many experiments can't even do the first step, how can we open the secret box in its center?" ”

The other mages also echoed one by one, although they were all proud mages, but two and a half months of research without clues and results had made everyone begin to doubt their intelligence, in fact, there were originally nearly twenty mages working together on this subject, but now there are only seven people left.

Crate of Erebos. Silently repeating the name in his heart, the old mage's face couldn't help but become more difficult to look at.

This strange item comes from the underground of the orc royal court that has been destroyed.

Not long ago, the Empire exterminated the centuries-old Henchmen, the Orc Court in the northwestern Tatarus Plains was burned to the ground, and during the post-war excavations, a knight discovered an extremely hidden underground tunnel in the middle of the ruins of the Imperial Court.

The length of this tunnel is incalculable, it is unusually curved, it leads to the depths of the earth, in the process of exploration, everyone found that on both sides of the tunnel there are countless strange murals, these murals are completely different from the totemic style commonly used by orcs, as if they are the product of another civilization.

After researching, the mages who accompanied the army believed that this mural was not the style of the centaur clan exterminated by the orcs, but another creation of a new race that had never appeared on the continent, which immediately caused a sensation in the academic world - under the orc royal court, there was a new unknown race remains.

Within a few days, mages from all over the world who were interested in studying ancient civilizations came to the ruins of the Orc Court, and many of them were members of powerful forces such as the White Tower of the Heavens and the Qiyao Council, and even the empire wanted to give them a face.

The large-scale excavation was immediately launched with the support of many forces, and after walking at least ten kilometers underground along the tunnel, the mages came to the end of the passage - a huge underground cavern.

The dark interior of the cave was filled with a rotten and disgusting stench, and through various probes of spells, the mages found that it was covered with rotten and even fossilized bones, and everyone agreed that this was the sacrificial ground of a certain race.

After sorting out the bones, the mages discovered that this was indeed a completely new species.

After roughly restoring the form of these bones through spells, this new creature was divided into two main groups, one of which was tall, almost all of them were more than three meters tall, and the other was extremely rare, with a more robust physique, two heads, and an innate ability to cast spells.

The double-headed is clearly the upper echelon of the race, controlling the other single-headed individuals, and the vast majority of the corpses are single-headed, which are clearly sacrificed sacrifices.

And in the center of this cave, above a stone altar, there is a box that seems to have been soaked in countless blood and turned black.

That is, the box of Erebos.

The box of Erebos was not abnormal at first, until one of the mages who held it was injured by accident, so that the blood touched it, and the black box that absorbed the blood began to release a steady stream of mist, this mist has a strong corrosive and confusing nature, neither magic nor fighting energy can penetrate, it killed many people on the spot, and even almost closed the exit of the underground cave, the mages present used various means to prevent it, and could only be forced to put it into the crystal cover to seal, all the way back to the imperial capital.

In this process, the mages from the White Tower of Guantian contributed a lot, so, because of geographical reasons, the research opportunity of the black box was given to the empire first, and if the empire did not produce results, then it was given to the White Tower of Guantian, and the black box was also named [Erebos] because of its ability to release black mist.

As an ancient race, both the Empire and the White Tower of Heaven believe that the box of Erebos contains a profound mystery, and if it can be analyzed, it will undoubtedly enhance its own strength, not to mention that the fog that cannot be penetrated by magic alone is of great value in terms of infiltration and concealment.

"Perhaps we should go to the heir of the Kaos family, Brandon Kaos, who wields a powerful purifying power."

A mage made an opinion, and it looked like he wanted to say it for some reason, but now that the deadline was reached, he couldn't bear it: "I know that you don't have a good relationship with Nostradamus and are prejudiced against his students, but now is not the time to pay attention to this. ”

“…… You're right. ”

Taking a deep breath, the old mage at the head seemed a little annoyed after hearing the name Nostradamus, but he quickly calmed down: "My personal face is naturally not as good as the face of the Imperial Mage Association. ”

After a pause, he whispered, "Please ask him to come." ”
