After Ivan had walked out of his office and been led away by Orlando, Joshua invited Nostradamus to sit down and asked him to elaborate on what His Majesty had to tell him. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The old mage sat down and didn't talk nonsense, he took a sip of tea, finished it succinctly, and then squinted, stroked his beard, and waited for the warrior's response.

And Joshua quietly listened to Nostradamus's narration, and said calmly, "They finally spoke. ”

There was no expression of surprise on the warrior's face, as if he had thought about it for a long time, and when Nostradamus raised his eyebrows and looked at him, Joshua showed a smile: "Originally, I thought that when the affairs of the academy were over, whether the Holy Mountain would invite me or not, I would go to the Far South. ”

"It's the Far South, and you're the lord of the Northlands."

Knocking on the table, the old mage frowned and reminded: "Joshua, that is the place where the dragon calamity originated, and now the most chaotic place on this continent, you are the imperial nobleman on the other side of the world - what are you doing there?" ”

Speaking of this, Nostradamus paused, seemed to be thinking about the wording, and then continued: "Seriously, why bother, the Far Sea Sacred Mountain invited you to come over, at most, because you have taken a fancy to your power of order, and there are many holy weapons that can replace the power of order, and you are not a necessary factor. ”

"You don't want me to go to the Far South."

Joshua was not surprised by the old mage's attitude: "But I don't think it's a bad opinion - you see, they are willing to pay two holy artifacts for this, and as long as I go, I can enter the sanctuary and choose at will." ”

"To be precise, I don't want you to go to the Sacred Mountain of the Far Sea."

Nostradamus sighed and shook his head a little puzzled: "On the contrary, I don't understand why you want to go to the Far South, now there is a mess there, and anyone who goes will have a headache, compared to the dangerous events that require the action of the extremely strong, the two holy weapons are not fair remuneration at all." ”

"If trouble doesn't come to me, I'll look for trouble."

Shrugging his shoulders, Joshua said his life creed flatly: "It doesn't matter if the public is unfair or not, the most important thing is that my hands are itchy - I can't stand to stay in the lord's mansion all the time, just 'listening' to the battle reports from afar." ”

"If the church is willing to pay me to fight, why not?"

After saying that, the warrior raised his hand, and Joshua showed his fist to the old mage: "See, Master Nostradamus?" What is it? ”

"Fist."

It was a five-finger clenched, weather-hardened bronze fist, indestructible as a piece of strongest steel, and its slightly agitated veins were filled with the breath of life, not even Nostradamus had ever seen such a powerful fist, as if nothing could stop it as long as it was swung.

"Very powerful, worthy of being the youngest Extreme Will-level powerhouse in the history of the Empire, your life force is more majestic than a dragon."

He first exclaimed, but Nostradamus still didn't understand what Joshua was trying to express, and the old mage asked with some confusion, "But, then." ”

"There are a lot of Extreme Will-level demon dragons in the Far South, and you may not be able to defeat them easily."

"——Hundreds of thousands of people in the Far South are trapped in the blockade area of the dragons, and the central defense line is subject to the impact of tens of thousands of dragons every day."

The warrior answered some questions, he simply recounted the battle report of the last few days: "Of course, the situation is improving, the alliance between the kingdom and the elves has regained a lot of lost territory a few days ago, but we all know that all this is because the five-colored dragons are shrinking and concentrating their forces, preparing to attack the Church of the Seven Gods first. ”

"If they succeed, then there is no doubt that the kingdom of the Far South, the largest human gathering place in the south of the continent, without the support of the Church, will be destroyed by alien races - the lives will be destroyed, countless families will be shattered, and the civilization that flourished in the past will be completely destroyed by barbarism."

Speaking of this, Joshua's eyes were deep, and he recalled the time when he fought in the Far South, and the feeling of blood boiling was still fresh in his memory.

"So, now."

But he was not affected by the memories of the past, and after a few seconds, Joshua's eyes returned to clarity, his tone was calm, without the slightest excitement, and the warrior looked directly into Nostradamus's eyes: "My fist tells me that strength should be used here, it has been honed for more than ten years to this point, not to watch this happen." ”

“…… That's right. ”

I don't know how to say it, the old mage has a complicated expression.

Of course, he knew that if the dragon really broke through the Holy Mountain, then the situation would be irreparable, and the human forces of the entire continent would fall into a real passive ...... But is it possible? The strongest person in the continent, Pope Eagle of the Church of the Seven Gods, is there, plus the Church has been operating the position barrier for nearly a thousand years, even if the dragon god descends, it may not be able to break through the holy mountain, and the Seven Gods of the Human Race have been watching the Far South, and they will not sit idly by.

At the end of the day, the old mage still thinks that all of this is too far away to have anything to do with the Empire.

"No one is a self-contained, isolated island."

Joshua shook his head at Nostradamus's attitude, and he said seriously: "Everyone is a member of the human race, whether you or me. ”

"When the real death knell sounds, no one will be spared, hesitation will not save those who are waiting, and prudence will not save those who hesitate."

Although the time was a little wrong because of Joshua's changes to the world, the warrior remembered very well how critical the situation of the Church of the Seven Gods was in his previous life.

On a summer storm night, taking advantage of the typhoon during the rainy season in the far sea, the three-headed legendary five-colored dragon led nearly 100,000 mad wyverns to attack the Holy Mountain.

During this stormy week, the entire outlying fortifications of the Church of the Seven were destroyed before the three legendary dragons could strike, and most of the clergy abandoned the island's towns to defend themselves by relying on the fortified temples on the sacred mountain.

Then there was the tug-of-war, every day a new army of dragons came from all over the world, even from far across the sea, their numbers were almost endless, attacking all the time, no matter how strong the spirit of the clergy of the Church was, they were only humans, they could not withstand the endless high tension of a week, and just when all the humans were exhausted, the three legendary dragons struck out, ready to completely destroy the defense line of the Holy Mountain.

Pope Eagle and the bishops could only fight, and the aftermath of the battle between the two sides even broke the raging typhoon, and the battle between them lasted for eight days and nights, but the priests in the holy mountain could not hold out for so long, and many knights who had been fighting since the beginning began to die suddenly due to exhaustion, and the defense line was in great confusion for a time.

Fortunately, at this time, an unknown priest got the revelation of the gods, and he developed a special teleportation array, any priesthood who holds the power of holy light can be positioned by echoing each other, relying on the help of a holy weapon in time and space in the great temple, the priests who have traveled around the world have directly come to the front line of the battlefield through this special teleportation array, and with the help of this new force, the battle line of the holy mountain has gradually stabilized.

At the end of the battle, it was Pope Eagle who was superior, and he single-handedly defeated all the high-end combat power of the five-colored dragon clan, and completely expelled the dragon army with legendary power, but even so, it was too late.

After this battle, the vitality of the Church of the Seven Gods was greatly damaged, and almost all the paladins and priests who traveled throughout the Mycrof continent disappeared, laying the groundwork for the ravages of the cultists in the future, and due to the shrinkage of most of the sphere of influence of the Far Sea Holy Mountain, many of the sealed places or chaotic erosion regions they supervised began to gradually spread, perhaps it was at that time that the Abyss of Anos, which was originally just a small gap, gradually grew into the Abyss Gate of the future generations.

If there were strong people from other regions willing to help the Church of the Seven Gods at that time, then things would definitely not have come to this point.

"Take me back to the Lord's Mansion first, Master Nostradamus."

Standing up, Joshua looked up and looked at the skylight where the sun was falling, the warrior narrowed his eyes, he didn't want to explain anymore, but said calmly, "I'm going to tell Hotaru and Rin that the rest is over." ”

"It's time to go."

Realizing that he couldn't convince the warrior, Nostradamus also sighed helplessly and stood up, but Joshua on the side seemed to remember something, he took out a transparent spar from his arms, looking at this spar, the warrior seemed to hesitate.

But then, he made up his mind: "Next, go directly to the imperial capital." ”

"It just so happens that I have something to say to His Majesty Israel."

- Half a day later.

Northern Empire, Three Mountains Holy City, Imperial Capital Morlay Palace.

Sensing the teleportation fluctuations inside his palace, in the study, Israel, who was reading a map of the Far South, raised his eyebrows.

"It's coming so fast."

He rubbed his chin and whispered, "You are worthy of a young man, and your determination is much higher than ours." ”

With that, he put away the map on his table and hung it in a corner of the wall, and then His Majesty the Emperor sat down in his chair, waiting for the visitor who would soon come.

A few minutes later, regular footsteps sounded in the hallway outside the royal study, and then stopped in the doorway.

Sensing the powerful life force outside the door, Israel smiled slightly, and then said casually: "Come in, the door is unlocked." ”

He had never liked red tape, so he had been very casual in private, and when he heard the voice, the door was opened, and the Empire Masters were not surprised to see Joshua's face.

"You accepted an invitation from the church?"

Without any extra politeness, Israel's interested Joshua asked, unlike the resistance revealed by Nostradamus, His Majesty the Emperor was just a little curious, and then he shrugged his shoulders and said, "Yes, you are a person who cannot be idle, and if you have the opportunity to fight, you will not let it go." ”

As a warrior, he understands the mind of a warrior better than the old mage.

"Where's your magic machine, though? And the sea dragon, won't they go with you? ”

Compared to the last time in the Great Hall of the Holy Emblem, the exhausted and heavy-minded Imperial Controller, the current Israel is in a very good mood, although Joshua doesn't know why, he can also see that the Emperor in front of him is now very talkative.

So he didn't salute, but simply explained: "Hotaru and Rin should still be taking care of Brandon and Verdani's children now, I have informed the couple to come back as soon as possible to take people away, and the size of the black is too large, and a special portal is needed to send it over, Master Nostradamus has no time now, and it will probably be tomorrow to open up such a passage." ”

"That's it."

Hearing this, Israel's expression was a little puzzled, and he frowned and said, "Last time, didn't I give you a shape-change pendant?" It should be able to change the size of the sea dragon to be about the size of a normal horse, and although it won't last long, it's absolutely fine to get through the portal. ”

“……”

Breathing slightly, Joshua suddenly realized that he seemed to have really forgotten about it.

Yes, after returning from the imperial capital last time, he went directly to deal with the matter of cultists and dragon eggs, and then he prepared for the test of the academy, interspersed with small things such as the Brandon couple coming to visit and entrusting his daughter to take care of him, and he completely forgot about the shape-changing fall!

This is indeed a bad habit, and the warriors have never bothered to look at what equipment they have, anyway, as long as they have weapons.

However, Israel did not pay attention to Joshua's expression, and said calmly, "Do you want to come and ask how to get to the Far South?" Don't worry, the church and I have already made arrangements, after all, this is a big event about the majesty of the empire, and it will definitely surprise you. ”

At this, he smiled, and seemed very pleased with the so-called surprise.

"Partially, but I'm here for another purpose."

Sensing that the topic was getting more and more off, Joshua quickly stopped the topic from shifting, he stood in front of Israel's desk, and said in a deep voice, "Your secret injury. ”

When these words were uttered by the soldiers, the atmosphere in the entire study froze.

But then, the coercion from the legendary powerhouse quickly dissipated.

"You can see it, it's not surprising."

Instead of continuing to sit in his seat, His Majesty the Emperor stood up and walked through the study, and he said self-deprecatingly: "Last time in the Great Hall of Divine Radiance, I did have a gaffe, and I forgot to hide my emotions from exhaustion and long-term pain—perhaps even earlier, when you and I first sparred, you discovered this. ”

- Actually, a little earlier, let's say a previous life.

Joshua didn't answer, because in front of him, a detailed panel was slowly emerging.

At the beginning, with the strength of the warrior's gold level, there was no way to pass the systematic appraisal and see the panel of His Majesty the Emperor in front of him, but now, Joshua has reached the Extreme Intention Realm, although there is still a long way to go from the Legendary Realm, but if you just look at the panel, you can still see it clearly.
