Cicadas still echo through the woods as the warmth of summer fades into the darkness of the night, and the slightest hint of dampness blows through the streets of Moldavia, the chirping of cicadas still echoes through the trees, and the adventurers who wander between taverns and parties never calm down, their presence brightens up the entire shopping street and brings a touch of life to the silence in the darkness.

I don't know when the inhabitants of the Northlands, who were accustomed to returning home after nine o'clock in the evening and then waking up at four or five o'clock in the morning to prepare for their work, had begun to get used to the fact that they could also be entertained at night—since the lord had inherited the title of old lord a few years earlier, the whole of Moldavia had changed at a tremendous pace, and although he had not changed any decrees or laws, it was only a few suggestions he made that benefited everyone.

TOEFL in the popular pyroxene lamp, now the main city of Moldavia, civilians only need to spend a few silver coins every month to buy cheap pyroxene, can make their home full of light day and night, but also in the rapid laying of free heating pipes to every household, but also make many people who are worried about firewood feel relieved, in addition to these two, the public community built around the lord's mansion has always had a mentor resident, Hunters and adventurers were taught the distribution of monsters in the Great Ajax Mountains and some practical techniques in the tundra forest, and from the words of the adventurers who sighed in the tavern, many people really benefited from it, and even saved their lives.

Although there are some people with bad intentions who advertise that the heating pipes are nothing more than a high-heat by-product of the activation of the magic furnace, and those cheap pyroxene are only transformed from discarded magic crystals, everyone still feels the generosity of the lord, because before this, this by-product and cheap pyroxene have never been popularized and sold, and this is the fundamental difference.

It is rumored that the Lord also intends to join forces with the Dwarves to build something called the 'Metro' beneath Moldavia, a strange means of transportation that is said to be able to transport thousands of people, or countless cargoes of ore, to distant lands at once.

Feeling the tranquility of the city, at the top of the bell tower of St. Lauren's Cathedral, Archbishop Atanis stood in the dark, his white sideburns blown by the damp wind, and the whole landscape of the main city of Moldavia was gradually reflected in his eyes.

But at this time, instead of admiring the increasingly prosperous city, the old man is waiting for the arrival of a person.

He had already waited for a long time, and it was not recommended to wait longer, the spirit of the golden powerhouse was enough to sustain several days of sleepless fighting, not to mention this leisurely situation?

But in fact, it didn't make him wait too long, as there was an obvious wave of time and space fluctuations from the top of the lord's mansion not far away, the old man's originally slightly squinted eyes suddenly opened, and then his palm was slightly raised, and a wave of holiness was also transmitted at the same time.

At the top of the Lord's Palace, the man who had just stepped out of the space-time gate noticed the fluctuations coming from St. Lauren's Cathedral, he blinked, and then turned his head to look at his side.

On his side, the two girls held the man's left and right hands, a large pile of packages and bags floated behind Joshua, supported by an inexplicable force, and they were also carrying several large and small bags and bags in their own hands, Hotaru and No. 3 both had a satisfied expression on their faces, which couldn't help but sigh that Hotaru and No. 3 were becoming more and more like women of their age, like this kind of satisfied expression that would only appear after big shopping, would never appear on Rin's body.

"I have something to do now, so you can go back to the lord's mansion first."

Placing the package that he had floated with his power on the ground, there was a dull crashing sound, and Joshua explained a little, and the two girls were now immersed in satisfaction, and knew that it was not good to disturb the warrior's work, so they both nodded, 'um', and he nodded in the same way, and then slowly flew up, in the direction of the cathedral.

And when the figure of the warrior disappeared into the night sky, the silver-haired girl suddenly turned her head and shouted at the top entrance and exit on the side: "Rin, black, come out and help carry things - my master and I bought you gifts!" ”

"Hey, are there any gifts?" "How can you still do this?"

The surprised voices of the black-haired boy and the black dragon girl suddenly came from the second floor of the Lord's Mansion, and after a while, with the sound of stepping on the stairs, Rin and Black appeared on the top floor of the Lord's Mansion.

"To you, to you."

Then, their arms were stuffed with a large pile of packages and bags that Hotaru unceremoniously handed over: "Remember to move the rest back, and these tasks will be handed over to you, brother!" ”

"Hey, that's too much, isn't it?! When are you going to move to such a lot? ”

didn't listen to her brother's complaints, and after speaking, the silver-haired girl happily pulled the black dragon girl who was still worried about Rin to the side, helped her unwrap some packages, and put on jewelry for the black belt with a confused face.

"I said, do you really let Rin move alone?" Black, who was being played with as a doll, was still worried about the others at this time: "I'll go over and help too, right?" ”

And Ying, who played with black like a doll and happily placed all kinds of jewelry, waved her hand in a chic manner: "It's okay, although those things look like a lot, they are actually very light." She didn't think it was because Joshua was there for them.

Not to mention Rin, who was frowning at the large pile of amethyst stones, the artificial intelligence lady on the side also showed her magical powers-I saw a layer of phantom detached from the steel shell, and the No. 3 that returned to the body of magic projection was connected to his own body, and the majestic magic power suddenly turned into a substantial power, lifting the package of large bags and sending them to the savings warehouse under the lord's mansion, and the pile in front of Rin was also moved away, which immediately reaped the sincere gratitude of the black-haired boy.

The matter on the side of the Lord's Palace was temporarily over, and by this time, the warrior had also arrived at the door of the Cathedral of St. Lauren, where Archbishop Atanis was waiting for him.

"What's the matter, Lord Bishop, is something going on?"

Without too many pleasantries, facing the old housekeeper's friend and his father's friend, Joshua asked with some curiosity: "I'm just going out for a day, is it possible that there will be an accident that even you have to go out?" ”

The warrior knows that there have been a lot of things in St. Lauren's Cathedral recently, because of the expansion of the new city, the Church of the Seven Gods will also build a new church, and take advantage of the summer to promote the faith.

"It's not big or big, it's not small, but no matter what, it's very troublesome."

Sighing, the old bishop didn't have too much politeness, he shook his head, and said succinctly: "This afternoon, there is an urgent text message from the Guantian White Pagoda sent to me, according to what they said, the person they are looking for was originally you, but the Guantian White Tower does not have the SMS address of your lord's mansion, and he can't find where your person is, so he will send it to me for the time being, and then let me tell you." ”

"This matter actually has something to do with the Church of the Seven Gods, otherwise, they wouldn't have let me read the content of the text message first."

"So what is it?" Joshua asked.

Taking a deep breath, Archbishop Atanis frowned and said solemnly, "The 'Rune Master' Barnier and the 'Mind Manipulator' William, the two guest tutors of the Heavenly White Tower, have lost contact. ”

When Joshua heard the news, he didn't have much of a surprised expression, he just said flatly: "Those two legendary powerhouses? They lost contact...... Weird, isn't it? ”

It's not that the warriors are big-hearted, but because these two legendary mages are usually like this.

As one of the few legendary powerhouses in this world who do not have subordinate forces, but wander between the entire continent, looking for the traces of ancient dragons, Barnier and William are best at hiding among the crowd and traveling on the continent.

In addition, these two will go to some extremely dangerous and closed Jedi from time to time, in those places, not to mention the communication circle, even the space-time magic and even all the elements will be imprisoned, you know, there are a lot of necro magic zones on the Mycrof continent, although they are of little use to the legendary mages who have the power to themselves, but it is really simple to make them temporarily lose contact with the outside world.

"And, what does this kind of thing have to do with us?" Joshua asked with some confusion: "Although I have a good influence on those two legendary mages - after all, they have helped me guard my territory for a long time, and I have not thanked them yet, but they have lost contact, why did they come to us?" ”

Atanis gave Joshua a deep look, and he muttered, 'I thought you already knew,' and then sighed, shook his head and explained, "Joshua, to be honest, you probably don't know about this...... But it does have a lot to do with us. ”

After a pause, the old bishop immediately said: "Because since these two legendary mages were entrusted by the Church of the Seven Gods to guard the territory for you, they have never been in contact with the Guantian White Tower, and the magic fluctuations show that they have been staying in the Great Ajax Mountains of the Northland, and they seem to be searching for something. ”

Not only that, but Atanis continued: "If that's all there is to it, then it's nothing, after all, the two of them are not subordinate to the White Tower, they are just because they are suffered. The Elemental Master's favor, so he was only a mentor there for a period of time, if these two people didn't take the initiative to contact the Guantian White Tower, they would have nothing to do, after all, the Elemental Controller still wanted to absorb these two forces to join him, so naturally he wouldn't be too restrained by them, but not long ago, the magic fluctuations of the two legendary mages completely disappeared from this world! ”

The next thing doesn't need to be said by the old bishop, Joshua can understand it.

The legendary powerhouse is free, and this freedom is manifested in all aspects, just like Israel can go out casually, accompany Master Nostradamus through every mist of divine misery, and then wait for the other party to finish in the Void Stargazing Center, which is a symbol of his legendary power. You know, if it was an ordinary emperor, let alone going out so casually, he wouldn't even be able to step out of the palace, so he could only sit on the emperor's throne in the Morlay Palace and accept the strictest protection from everyone.

Barnier and William, the two legendary powerhouses, are willing to stay in one force, so any force will give the warmest welcome, but if they don't join, they will be subjected to the strictest vigilance, just like the Northern Empire has not allowed the two of them to enter the territory, but anyway, most of the time they can go wherever they want, and the ban on the imperial side is only because they don't want to violate the law, so they don't go against it.

These two stopped in the north to look for something, it was nothing more than looking for the traces of the ancient dragon, they hid their whereabouts, even Joshua couldn't find out, so the Guantian White Pagoda and the empire naturally turned a blind eye, but the magic fluctuations disappeared completely, which was different.

Barnier and William both left their magic imprints in the White Tower, this magic imprint can roughly judge whether these two legendary powerhouses are alive, whether they are still in this world, and in which direction they are located, it is operating all the time, even if the two of them are in the dead magic area, it will also operate the same, but now, it has stopped, which only means two things.

"They're dead."

Joshua said word by word: "Or, in other words, left this world." ”

That's right, the old bishop nodded solemnly, he frowned and said: "Joshua, the two legendary mages disappeared into your territory, this kind of thing is neither big nor small - after all, they are not subordinate to the Heavenly White Tower, or any force, and everyone knows that it is impossible for you to restrain the freedom of the two legendary spellcasters, and you cannot kill them so neatly." When he said this, the old bishop couldn't help but feel a sour tooth, because the mage of the White Tower of the Heavenly Piercing Tower, who had contacted him before, seemed to have this suspicion, and he couldn't help but sigh a little now for the warrior's reputation in the outside world......

"But they disappeared into my territory after all."

Joshua went on to say that he also understood the seriousness of the matter and why the old episcopal church had deliberately waited for him to return from the imperial capital: "This is very likely to cause an incident at the diplomatic level of the country...... Hey. ”

As he spoke, he actually laughed, and the warrior turned his head to look in the direction of the Great Ajax Mountain Range, and said in a relaxed tone: "Two legendary mages are missing in my territory? It's funny, I've been off for almost a year or so, and all the interesting things are happening, right? ”

"Be serious—" Atanis wanted to frown and remind the warrior of the seriousness of the matter now, but as he spoke, he couldn't help but laugh: "Forget it, you just need to pay attention to this matter." ”

Originally, the old bishop had been worried about this matter this afternoon, but he didn't know why, but when Joshua came back, he couldn't help but feel relaxed when he saw the figure of the warrior.

There are always some people, just by existing, who can involuntarily calm down.

Looking at Joshua, who had already turned his head and seemed to be planning to go to the Great Ajax Mountains to see the situation now, Atanis couldn't help but think with some emotion.

is so resolute and reassuring, this may be his charm.

- Only for friends, of course.
