Chapter 32: It's Joshua
Starfall 837, March 17.
The situation on the Microf continent is changing day by day, after all, there are thousands of factions around the world, no matter how smart and experienced an analyst is, he can't completely predict the changes in the situation of each force, but even so, some changes in the recent week still make everyone feel that something is wrong.
There is no need for an analyst to answer questions, even the average person who is illiterate can feel a hint of tension from the daily food prices and the atmosphere in the city.
First of all, it started with the Northern Empire, which had the largest movement in the capital - since March 10, 37, an indescribable atmosphere has enveloped the entire country, according to reliable sources, on the 10th, there were more than 172 local gangs, 53 chambers of commerce were completely destroyed by the fire from the sky, but what is amazing is that the violent, meteorite-like sky fire only accurately killed the main cadres of these gangs and chambers of commerce, similar to sweepers, kitchen helpers, and most of the front desk tellers did not dieIn addition to the shock and incredulity, the atmosphere around the Herramos plain of the entire empire was clear, and the local civilians, although seemingly depressed, had actually held several celebrations in their homes.
In addition, there are specific numbers that cannot be counted, but it is estimated that more than twenty nobles died suddenly, more vassals died, and the deaths of the heirs of some big nobles were countless, this set of chain reactions caused their territories to fall into chaos for several days, but the troops from the central royal family immediately settled in their territories and temporarily acted as local government affairs, and suddenly, the aristocratic groups of the entire empire had a huge panic, and they suspected that the royal family was preparing to do something to themselves- But just as these people were about to get together to discuss what was going on, a large group of inquisitors from the noble court imprisoned the group of nobles, and what awaited them was the court's trial.
The entire Northern Empire now seems to be in chaos, but in fact, there seems to be a pair of invisible hands in order in the chaos that is controlling all this, and the nobles and their minions who were originally high in the sky have suddenly converged a lot, and the gangs, big chambers of commerce and slave traders who were originally raging in the countryside and remote areas have almost been wiped out, and a large part of the ordinary people will be 'except for a small part of the people who are afraid that the 'heavenly fire' will hit their heads, a large part of the people will' Tianhuo is worshipped as a savior or even a god, and in the western swamp gathering area where the gangs were most rampant, there is already such an unknown thing as the 'Tianhuo Temple'.
Originally, this kind of large-scale attack on the aristocracy and local underworld forces should have become a topic of conversation in other human gathering places, the nobles would condemn, the small and medium-sized forces would reject, and the big forces would think about how to learn, but at this time, not many people jumped out to mobilize the topic, because the situation around the world is very complicated today.
Because of the large-scale construction of the magic energy factory in the Northern Empire, the Eastern Plains also immediately started to study - as a gathering place for mages, the technical power of the Eastern Plains is the first in the world, and even the magic energy factory of the Northern Empire invited the high-level mages of the White Tower of the Sky to cooperate in the design. Now, seeing the leap in productivity caused by the large-scale popularization of magic energy factories, whether it is the Heavenly White Pagoda or other mage forces, they can't help it, in the last few months, small and large magic energy factories have been established, because of the example of the Northern Empire, so they have not taken a detour.
But soon, the side effects of the magic energy factory also appeared...... In cities where there are no extreme powerhouses, no one can deal with the air pollution caused by the factory at any time, the magic crystal dust is inhaled into the lungs by ordinary people, and after accumulating for a long time, it will cause terrible fibrosis of internal organs, and even crystallization, and it is difficult for ordinary crops to grow in the land that has been infiltrated with special magic, and even if they grow, most of them are colorful, and you can know that they can't be eaten at a glance.
The factories of the empire, such as the Northland, are either built around the cities of the extreme, even the legendary powerhouses, or they are built in the desolate snow-capped mountains and ice fields, even if the pollution does not affect ordinary people, the largest industrial base cluster of the empire is even in the East Bande Plateau, which is completely uninhabited, in this regard, the eastern plains, which are completely large plains, do not have enough desolate places to concentrate on construction, and the complex organizational relationships make it impossible for them to join forces, Therefore, the mage organization led by the Guantian White Pagoda has now temporarily closed most of the factories and is stepping up research on how to reduce the amount of pollution.
The Eastern Plains are scorched by factory pollution, and the Western Mountain Kingdoms are now exploring the abyss - three years have passed, the war between the underground rock dwarves and the night elves is gradually coming to an end, the rock dwarves have successfully become independent, and occupy a corner of the underground cavity have been seen, and the night elves have fallen into a certain chaos after losing the low-level staff, and the night elf kingdom of Nuoda is likely to split into several small countries, but no matter which side it is, it has already contacted the surface countries, and the first person to explore the underground world,' Grand Duke Roman's is joining forces with the Rock Dwarves, and the two sides have reached a contract of cooperation in the general direction, and the ambitious Grand Duke can't wait to put on the crown for himself after receiving the vast wealth of the Underworld.
In addition, the headquarters of the dwarves in the West Mountain and the eternal lake of the elves in the far south have also sent an envoy group led by three extremely strong people to the underground world, as a kindred, they want to contact these compatriots who have been lost for thousands of years as soon as possible, and the night elves and the rock dwarves are currently in the post-war period of weakness, naturally they will not refuse all good intentions, the two sides have reached a consensus, the rock dwarves and the night elves as the branches of the two legs, merged into the great genealogy, and as a harvest, the rock dwarves have been forged by the dwarven god craftsman himself. Despite its name, the Hammer Gang Darlan is actually a large industrial machine tool capable of laying a solid enough foundation for the construction of the Rock Dwarf.
The Night Elves also obtained the 'Lightless Wood' created by the Nature Mentor himself, which is a special mother tree of life that can rely on the Night Elves' fluorescent pool to grow, and in return, the elves and dwarves have also obtained a part of the lost ancient inheritance, as well as various special creations underground, and the database has been enriched a lot.
Far South, the kingdom of the Far South finally stabilized, although the territory and actual control of the territory has been reduced by more than half, but the royal family still exists, the old king abdicated, the new king ascended the throne, as the new ruler, the new king began to try to carry out strategic cooperation with commercial alliances, the exploration and development of the Black Forest and the distant seas, and now cooperation is in full swing.
As for the Church of the Seven Gods, it was quite silent, except for sending a team of paladins to various parts of the continent to cut off the raging monsters, there was no action, but the Church of the Seven Gods was originally such a style of not asking about the world, so everyone didn't think it was strange.
For civilians, this is indeed the case, the world is getting better and better, although there are occasional too abrupt and dangerous changes, but it is not that they cannot adapt, whether it is the magic energy factory, the change of the system, or the emergence of the underground world can not immediately change their living habits, but they will gradually find that these seemingly indifferent things are changing the whole world after more than ten years.
And for transcendents with a certain strength, their feelings are much more obvious.
The whole world is under martial law.
This is the most intuitive feeling - whether it is the Empire, the Eastern Plains, the West Mountain or the Far South, all the big forces are carrying out extremely intense wartime preparations, the middle mages of the White Tower of Guantian feel that they may have to go to war with the fishmen, and the Imperial Minister has asked their Emperor His Majesty several times if he intends to fight back to the West Mountain, after all, the origin of the Dalemond family is in the West Mountain, and there are also doubtful voices among the elves, dwarves and other big clans, they have no enemies, and the last martial law was four or five years ago Dragon Calamity.
"Your Majesty...... What are your plans for summoning our high priests of the seven gods back to the Holy Mountain? ”
In the Far South and Far Sea, on Eda Gray Island, in the Great Temple of the Seven Sacred Mountains, an old priest with white hair but muscles like a barbarian berserker, holding up his white sacrificial robe to the point of bursting, asked Eagle suspiciously.
And behind him, there were six priests with different styles, either benevolent or cold, silent, their bodies surging with a mysterious and powerful aura, at a glance, all of them were extremely high-level powerhouses.
At this time, the old Pope was sitting on the white chair at the end of the temple, he stroked the scepter in his hand, looked at the sky attentively, and heard the question of the muscle priest, he lowered his head, and said in a rather kind tone: "Langston, don't be in such a hurry...... As the head of the Temple of the Seven Gods in various places, you should know the news that the Seven Gods are now in the Boundless Heaven Realm, right? ”
"Of course we do."
The seven high priests present nodded in unison, they were the top leaders of the Church of the Seven Gods after Eagle, and the heads of the major Templar Knights, they were the ones who held the real power of the Church - of course, as devout followers of the Seven Gods, they didn't care about these efforts, and these high priests were usually touring churches and temples around the world to check whether the local clergy were qualified.
"Then you should also know that the Boundless Heavens will merge with our world...... And in the process, the gods will go all out, and they will not have the strength to resist the forces beyond the great tide. ”
The old pope only said a word, and a priest understood what he meant, and he frowned, and said in shock: "Then, what do you mean, Your Majesty...... Will there be forces from other worlds that will prevent the gods from descending to the Boundless Realm? ”
"Why, it's not good for them! If the fusion fails, the angry gods will inevitably strike! ”
"Your Majesty is low-key, but this is not for everyone."
Eagle quietly watched the nervous discussion of the many high priests present because of this news, and when the discussion gradually subsided, he spoke again: "If it were a normal time, naturally no existence would dare to attack the Mycrof world guarded by gods and many legends, but if the seven gods couldn't make a move, and most of the legends were also involved in something and couldn't get out?" ”
"What if there is also a great force in our world that is intent on destroying everything on earth at any time?"
Suddenly, there was silence in the temple. All the priests were aware of the existence of the underground seal, and when they heard this, they also vaguely understood what point the enemy was coming to attack.
"Priests of the Seven Gods." Seeing the changes in everyone's expressions, Eagle said softly: "We still have ten days, and ten days to prepare for all the accidents, now, the Holy Mountain Research Department is working on a big project, Count Radcliffe, and Barbarossa, the Elemental Master, are all involved, but we lack some key things, so I just saw you gathered from all over the world to complete ...... 'it', and we need your help." ”
"As for ten days later...... Ten days later, it was war. ”
"Ten days at most, most likely, less than ten days."
The Far North Ice Field, the coastline of the Blank Sea, Joshua and Barnier and William beside him walked, although they seemed relaxed, but their tone was serious, the warrior looked at the frozen coast and the churning sea in the distance, and said in a clear voice: "In ten days, the Boundless Heavens will be completely in line with the world of Microf - the seal on the Steelpython will become a Klein bottle, and it will never be able to get out of it." ”
"At that time, even if the gods are unable to possess the combat power of their heyday because they have incarnated as saints, with our help, it will be enough to defeat all the enemies who come to attack."
"So, are we going to have to survive these ten days?"
Because he was invited to the Imperial Special Research Institute to conduct an experiment on the popularization of information terminals, the tired Barnier muttered softly, while on the other side, William, who was in good spirits, frowned: "In this case, we must not let the battle take place in the void close to Microf, the power of the legendary powerhouse is enough to shake time and space, which will have a great impact on the seal!" ”
"You don't have to worry too much about that."
Speaking of this, Joshua waved his hand, signaling the two of them to feel at ease, he looked up at the void, and said meaningfully: "I have already thought about this problem, I have sufficient plans and preparations, and I am fully safe, they have absolutely no way to affect the Seven Gods to complete the seal." ”
“…… That's a little bit 'Joshua'. ”
While walking, Barnier and William showed strange expressions, and the two muttered quietly, while Joshua was slightly stunned, he didn't understand what the two wanted to say, but then, he shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "All in all, the big forces around the world have made corresponding preparations, the elves have calmed down the internal contradictions, and the Seven Sacred Mountains are also planning a major project to prepare for war, and our core point is to let the gods complete the seal without interference in these ten days." ”
"Or ......"
Speaking of this, Joshua snorted, he looked at the sky, and said lightly: "How to defeat these ill-intentioned guys in these ten days." ”
