Starfall 833, June 20. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Northern Empire, Holy City of Three Mountains, early in the morning.

The long wind blows through the deep green plains and verdant mountains in the center of the empire, reaching the land surrounded by three mountains, which makes the dry and warm air in the streets of the imperial capital with a hint of grass and trees, coupled with the bright sunshine, so that the early residents can't help but feel happy and sigh about this beautiful day.

And in the center of the imperial capital, in a guest room at the Palazzo Morlais, a black-haired warrior stood by the window, looking up at the floating clouds flowing in the clear blue sky.

Joshua had long since woken up.

Yesterday, after the warrior left the royal study, he was taken by the attendants to a room originally prepared for the ambassadors, Joshua had planned to go to the imperial capital to find a random hotel, and set off when Ying and Rin and Hei arrived tomorrow, but since Israel had sent an invitation, he took advantage of the situation to stay.

That evening, he sorted out a little bit of information about the Far South.

At this time in the Far South of the previous life, the dragon disaster had not yet begun, and in Joshua's memory, the first dragon siege incident in the previous life occurred in the spring of Starfall 834, and the official start of the war would not be until the middle of the summer of the same year, so it seems that probably because there were no players to harass and warriors to change the future, the dragon disaster in this world was advanced by almost a year.

So from now on, any memory of the situation of that year is meaningless, a year is enough to change anything.

Of course, there are some general trends that will not change, for example, it is the five-colored dragon clan that controls the wild dragon, and the one who instigates the five-colored dragon clan behind it is undoubtedly the plague evil god and its followers.

The mad dragon wants to conquer the Far South and spread to the entire continent, and there are two insurmountable barriers, one is the central defense line of the Far South Kingdom, and the other is the Far Sea Sacred Mountain of the Church of the Seven Gods.

The central defense line could not be attacked for a long time, so the mad dragon turned the target and prepared to attack the Church of the Seven Gods, the Holy Mountain naturally knew this, they did not seem to be ready to resist passively like in their previous life, but invited the allies everywhere, and seemed to plan to take the initiative to do something to stop the attack of the mad dragon.

Joshua was such an invited helper.

From the window of the upper floor of the palace, looking down at the city of the imperial capital, Joshua looked down at the mansions of the nobles and the residences of the citizens below, and above the black and red tiled roofs, the curling smoke turned into diagonal lines due to the breeze.

It was early in the morning, and every family was preparing breakfast, and there were a few things above the house that didn't have smoke, but it wasn't that the occupants didn't prepare their own food, and Joshua knew that it was because they had installed the latest magic stove.

The technology of the Mycrof Continent, because the power of magic has not dissipated, is not as good as the elves who have lost their spells in the Ilgena world, but it also has its own special side, since the 'magic machine' began to be created in the major mage colleges in the Eastern Plains, this kind of technology relying on magic and runes has gradually blossomed in this world.

Because of the convenience of allowing ordinary people to enjoy magic, it was undoubtedly sought after by all, and those who were noble and wealthy were the first to enjoy it.

In the Imperial Royal Mage Academy, at least half of the people are researching all kinds of new types of magic energy machinery, in fact, the magic armor developed by Joshua and the old dwarf is the most typical, and it is also a relatively high-end kind of magic energy machine, which can be used in battle, and can also be equipped by engineers, so that their work efficiency is greatly improved.

"Where has magic technology progressed now?"

Recalling the memories of his previous life, Joshua tapped his finger on the window edge and thought, "Without the opinions and assistance of players, there should be a lot less novel gadgets, but something like the Colossus of War, I don't think it will have any effect." ”

In the previous life, due to the influx of players, the mages who studied magic technology on the Mycrof continent got a lot of inspiration and inspiration, and they created all kinds of interesting gadgets, such as watches that can detect the concentration of surrounding elements, magic night vision glasses, and 'portable self-charging communication arrays that look like mobile phones are actually almost mobile phones', and others, similar to magic flying carpets, flying broomsticks, and housework golems, etc., there are also a lot of things with the wrong painting style.

However, these things can only open up ideas for those mages who study magic energy technology, in fact, when the magic energy furnace appeared in the magic laboratory of the Heavenly White Tower, it was quickly mastered by the high-level of various countries, and countless new killing machines were developed in this way.

The Mycrof continent has been war-torn for a long time, not to mention the nervous high-level, even civilians after knowing the magic energy machine, a technology that allows ordinary people to use magical powers, the first thing that comes to mind is not the convenience of life, but all kinds of powerful weapons - magic muskets, enchanted bows and crossbows, hovering warships, and even floating fortresses, and so on.

This is probably a kind of culture, and there is a hint of vigilance against the unpredictable future in everyone's hearts, so there are so many people on this continent who are not willing to be ordinary and pursue power.

Nowadays, all countries on the continent are developing the war technology of this next era, in the rich business alliance and the eastern mage kingdom, a small army armed with enchanted weapons has appeared, the Northern Empire, as the largest country in the world, naturally did not lag behind the times, Joshua remembers, the first war colossus that claimed to be comparable to the ancient Titan Colossus appeared in the southern fortress of the empire, and easily suppressed a black tide at that time.

Just as Joshua frowned and recalled how many years it had happened in the starfall, there was a knock on the door of the guest room, and a respectful voice from behind the door came: "Earl, Your Majesty is waiting for you at the Aden Fortress, do you want to leave now, or wait a while?" ”

"Now."

Coming back to his senses, Joshua replied, then turned around and prepared to open the door and go.

Yesterday, he had agreed with Master Nostradamus that early this morning, the old mage would teleport Hotaru, Rin and Hei together, but because the Imperial Capital had a warning circle and a space-time lock that forbade teleportation, he could only teleport a few of them into the fortress on the three mountains around the Imperial Capital.

On the way out of the Morlay Palace, the attendant who led the way did not dare to say much, he seemed to be very afraid of Joshua, and every movement of the warrior seemed to stimulate the fragile nerves of the middle-aged man as he walked through the corridors.

So when he walked out of the Morlay Palace with Joshua and watched the warriors get into the carriage that reached the fortress of Aden, he breathed a sigh of relief, and the cold sweat of the rest of his life was also covered in an instant.

“…… This count is really more terrible than the rumors......"

He stared at the back of the carriage with a little frightened eyes, and couldn't help muttering: "I don't know what kind of dire situation his lords live in, but I know by looking at my eyes that this kind of lord must be very cruel......"

Not to mention Joshua, who was killed because of his majesty, now the fortress of Aden, on the high platform at the top of the tower.

In the tower at the edge of the fortress, His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire, Israel was waiting in silence, flanked by six squires in light armor and swords at their waists, and four mages in dark green robes, all of whom looked serious and silently guarded beside Israel, while these mages were all using magic, communicating with others who did not know where they were in a strange accent, their voices were hurried, but with a hint of nervousness and anticipation.

At the entrance to the top floor of the tower, steady footsteps could be heard, and Israel, who had been waiting, turned his head to look to the side.

"Radcliffe, you're here."

His Majesty the Emperor, with his long dark blond hair, nodded slightly to the warrior who had just arrived at the top of the tower, and he laughed heroically, "It's so slow, you almost missed that scene." ”

"What are you missing?"

Following the instructions of the knights along the way, after coming to the top of the tower, Joshua did not perceive the aura of Hotaru, Rin and black, and after hearing Israel's words, he couldn't help but feel a little strange: "Missed the teleportation of Master Nostradamus?" ”

"With all due respect, Your Majesty, I've seen enough of this scene."

This is indeed not a lie, because Nostradamus often travels back and forth between the Imperial Capital and the Winter Castle Academy through teleportation, so Joshua often sees the scene of the other party's teleportation - this is only this life, and the warriors in the previous life don't know how many times they have experienced it, how many times they have seen the scene of mage teleportation, although the dark blue space-time gate is indeed very magnificent, but to be honest, he is already a little numb.

"No, why did I ask you to come and see this."

Seeing Joshua's puzzled expression, the corners of Israel's mouth curled, and he whispered, "Don't be impatient, young earl, wait a moment, and you will be shocked by what you see." ”

“…… As you wish. It can be seen that His Majesty the Emperor is deliberately trying to sell a pass, so Qiao Shuya simply followed the other party's wishes, stood in place and waited, he had time, and he didn't mind waiting a little longer.

And it wasn't long after.

"Adjusted!" A voice with a slight Eastern Plains accent appeared on the side, and the mages who had been in contact with someone in the first place, their faces were delighted, and they immediately reported to Israel: "Your Majesty, the 'Gale' is ready to start at any time!" ”

"Okay." Nodding, Israel's eyes became serious, and he ordered, "Then start now!" ”

After speaking, he turned his head and looked at Joshua, who was a little puzzled, and Israel patted the warrior on the shoulder, and then laughed loudly: "Wait, Joshua, soon, you will witness a historic scene!" ”

And Joshua endured the heavy pat on the shoulder of the legendary warrior, and his heart also changed from disapproval at the beginning to a slight trace of anticipation.

What can make a legendary powerhouse so mysterious and want to show him must be unusual.

And in the next moment, the vision appeared, which also made Joshua's eyes widen.

"This!"

Aden Fortress was originally an ordinary fortress, it was located at the top of the mountain, responsible for monitoring the magical elements around the imperial capital, its shape was like a huge hexagonal column, surrounded by towers, and the flat top floor in the center was a huge and complex compound magic circle, used to control the huge magic power.

And now, above the huge magic circle, there were patches of dark blue ripples, which was obviously a sign of the beginning of teleportation.

If it was an ordinary teleportation, it would not surprise Joshua so much, but this dark blue ripple was so violent and huge, it formed a dark blue sphere with a diameter of hundreds of meters, and the inexplicable light rendered half of the sky, and a huge thing seemed to be about to teleport from an unknowable distance!

Many of the attendants around couldn't help but take a few steps back because of this oppression, but Joshua's eyes widened, revealing a hint of nostalgia.

He had seen this kind of sight before, in his previous life, on the battlefield of the Abyss, in the Naya Fortress in the Ashen Plains, in all the cities that resisted the demons.

The dark blue sphere is completely formed, and the behemoth inside is rapidly shifting.

Eventually, it teleported completely, and the dark blue light vanished.

"Floatship!"

Joshua looked at the huge object and muttered to himself, but he immediately shook his head: "No, this is a battleship!" ”

Emerging from the super-large portal was a super-large suspended battleship nearly one hundred and seventy meters long, it was made of steel, but suspended in the air, and at the bottom of this battleship, there were twelve rune circles that shimmered with crystal white light, which emitted a steady stream of buoyancy and supported the entire warship's body.

Without the slightest bump, I don't know how far the huge battleship teleported out of the air as if it was stationary, the black shell and angular shape showed domineering, coupled with the obvious 'Five Star Huanyang' coat of arms on it, it was obvious that this was a floating battleship belonging to the Empire.

"Joshua, your visit to the Far Sea Sacred Mountain this time does not represent yourself, but the majesty of the entire empire."

Israel's voice appeared next to Joshua's ears, and His Majesty the Emperor said in a low and clear voice: "Since you, as a nobleman of the Empire, have decided to help the Church of the Seven Gods, then the Empire will naturally not let you go alone without saying anything - look, this suspended battleship 'Galewind'." ”

"It has only recently started to be built, with the crystal furnace core developed not long ago as the core engine, and the special double furnace core is far more powerful than before, which is a breakthrough made during the last war with the orcs."

"It has only recently started to be built, with the crystal furnace core developed not long ago as the core engine, and the special double furnace core is far more powerful than before, which is a breakthrough made during the last war with the orcs."

"There are five large magic energy focusing circles built-in, which can use elemental shocks with power close to gold-level magic, and forty small alchemy cannons, which can suppress the ground with powerful firepower."

"How Joshua?"

In a proud tone, Israel raised his hand, pointed to the huge floating ship, and said to Joshua, "It's yours." ”
