When Kiraya stepped onto the frosty land of the north, her memories could not help but go back to that distant afternoon thirty-four years ago, when her father took her to the sad sea at the end of the world to see the ice.

It is located at the southernmost pole of the continent, thousands of kilometers away from the continent of Microf, her father once said that thousands of years ago, this was also a paradise for life, there were countless cute and swaying black and white fat birds lived here, and a special race of people called the Sinraya also lived on this continent composed entirely of ice, hunting seals and fishing, and living a peaceful and peaceful life under the protection of the mother earth and the god of the seas.

Kiraya doesn't care about the Black and White Birds and the past of primitive people, but it is the base camp of the last remnants of the Earth Temple, which was at its peak thousands of years ago. It wasn't that she couldn't tell the difference between the north and the south, but the young female elder of the Earth Temple couldn't help but feel a little emotion in her heart when she saw the familiar sky full of ice and snow.

Now that the Earth Temple had been torn apart, the Castle of the Lost in the Ice Field was no longer the base camp of their group.

From the wide rocky avenue in the suburbs, into the satellite city where there are guards and knights patrolling from time to time, Kiraya calmly walked under the eyelids of those tall horses, although young but imposing Radcliffe family guard knights, after entering the city, her dignified appearance immediately attracted the attention of many people - although there are people of any color of hair on the Wizard Coast continent, but there are very few people with purple jewel hair, not to mention that this strange woman has an inexplicable charm, It will attract other people to get close to it involuntarily.

"It's a high-level professional." Hurriedly shook his head, and woke up from the natural charm, a knight immediately said to his colleague beside him with some nervousness: "The strength should be at the golden high level, notify the White Dragon Knights, and make emergency preparations!" ”

"There's no need to make such a fuss, right? Today, in the main city, several golden powerhouses come to visit the lord every day...... Who will do it under the nose of a legendary powerhouse? Wouldn't that be suicide? ”

Another knight patted the wheezing horse under him, he was not charmed, but his horse was a little unable to control himself, and he wanted to kneel down and surrender to the other party, which made him laugh and scold: "Lao Tzu has fed you so much kindness, but you can't stand up to other people's beautiful faces?" ”

Although it is said that the news of a golden powerhouse entering the city was quickly reported, and then it was notified to every corner of the city, and now Moldavia has basically popularized the communication circle, because the concentration of magic power has been greatly improved, the most difficult and expensive charging link has disappeared now, this simple magic circle has long been mass-produced around the world, and the Northland is just the first batch.

Kiraya knew this, of course, but she didn't care, it was better to say that it was part of her plan, to tell the Lord in advance that the messenger had arrived as promised.

And before the invitation, or order, she wanted to take a good look at the city.

Passing through the southern satellite towns, which are still only foundations and a rudimentary framework in many places, to the perimeter of the inner walls of Moldavia, Kiraya looked at this vibrant northern city, on the side of the road, from time to time, there were groups of half-grown teenagers with skis and snowboards, ready to go to the suburbs, and in the snow on the side of the road, you could also see many children under the age of ten laughing and throwing snowballs at each other, and most of their parents were sitting on the sidelines, smoking tobacco or drinking half a bottle of cloudy wine, smiling at this scene.

"That's nice......"

The young female elder of the Earth Temple couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion, she stopped and looked at the children who were not worried about their safety even if they went to the suburbs, and the thoughts in her heart flew, this may be just a daily life that is not worth mentioning for the locals, but for the intelligent life in other regions of the Mycrof Continent, it is extremely difficult to enjoy the pleasure - outside the city walls, it is the realm of monsters and thieves, as long as you go out of the city, then the lives of civilians will not be guaranteed, The farmers who cultivate need every household to be equipped with bows and knives, even if they can't defeat the sudden attack of the monster, they must at least support it until the garrison arrives, for them, let alone go to the suburbs to play, even if they leave their own acres and threes of land, they will be frightened.

In other parts of the world, the vast majority of civilians have never seen the scenery of their hometowns hundreds of miles away, and some of them have never even left the land where they were born, but here, in Moldavia in the north, children can freely go outside the city to play, cross the river on ice, climb the mountains, and see the distant scenery without worrying about safety when they are young, which is a kind of sublimation of knowledge.

There are many people who believe that the existence of legendary powerhouses will make a land suddenly become outstanding, and a steady stream of strong and sages will appear and join the other party's banner. Ordinary people attribute it to the legendary powerhouse and think that it is the work of their teaching, but Kiraya believes that although it is also because of the legendary powerhouse, the most essential reason for the change is just because the horizon has been broadened. A child who has seen the wider world since he was a child is completely different from a child who has wandered around the house all his life, and the 'size of the heart' is the root of the difference between the two.

"Dear Elder Kiraya, Lord Lord is waiting for you."

With the gentle sound of horses' hooves, on the side of Kiraya, who was admiring the city, a team of fifteen people suddenly appeared, this team had three knights, eight archers and four spear and shield guards, the leather armor and armor on their chests were engraved with the logo of the city guards, seeing their arrival, the surrounding civilians automatically retreated to make room for them, but the young female elder just smiled and shrugged her shoulders: "It's really fast, it's a real elite." ”

"Your compliment." Nodding slightly, the knight at the head was not moved by Kiraya's face with a little seductive ability: "Please follow us." ”

And the female elder, who had done her homework before and knew the location of the Lord's Mansion, was a little puzzled: "This is not the direction leading to the Lord's Mansion. ”

"Your Excellency is not in the Lord's Mansion right now." Another knight replied in a deep voice, "Your Excellency has been patrolling the garrison of the City Guard, so I will meet you at the tower not far away." ”

This is a good explanation, and Kiraya doesn't think there's anything wrong with it, she was the weak party when she came this time, and the other party can do whatever she wants, and she doesn't need to take care of her emotions.

However, the armor of these knights is luxurious. Looking at the City Guard squad that surrounded them, not so much defending as escorting, Kiraya noticed that their armor had a looming magic pattern, which meant that the worst was also an enchanted piece of equipment, and it seemed that every City Guard patrolling the streets had the same equipment, which almost meant that they had almost popularized magic armor - this kind of thing was simply unimaginable before the Great Demon Tide.

Without waiting for this emotion to dissipate, soon, Kiraya came to the city wall tower that was indeed not far away, and at the entrance of the tower, the city guard team that 'escorted' her was disbanded on the spot and returned to their own posts, while the female elder, who had been in a relaxed mood along the way, subconsciously gasped for a few breaths to relieve the sudden chest tightness and trembling just now.

"This coercion...... Compared to the artifacts in the Great Temple, the reaction is still too ......"

Looking deeply at the top of the tower, Kiraya suddenly smiled and shook her head, and strode towards the top floor, when she learned that she had appeared to meet the rumored and brutal Earl, she had already been mentally prepared for it, and even death could not make her hesitate, let alone coercion.

She reached the top floor of the tower and saw the back of a man. He was wearing a black coat, without any patterns or decorations for display, and he did not react to Qiraya's arrival until the other party was half-kneeling on the ground, and then said lightly: "Here you are, betrayer." ”

This sentence undoubtedly pierced Kiraya's heart, but she couldn't refute it. Because she knew that no matter how noble the reasons for their past, no matter how compelling the pain, they still did something that betrayed all life in Microf's world in the final analysis. If the situation is still the same as hundreds of years ago, and they succeed, then they may be the heroes of the curve to save the world, but now that the flame is rekindled, and they have failed, then they are irrefutable betrayers, especially in the face of this man, who seems to dominate the rekindling of the flames...... Hero.

"Huh, Godborn?"

Turning his head, the man's voice was slightly raised, as if he was a little curious: "The Earth Temple is very sincere, but it didn't send cannon fodder to reconcile...... Alright, don't kneel, I didn't release the coercion, stand up and repeat what your high priest wants to say to me. ”

"Yes, sir."

Her head was lowered, instinctively not daring to look at the other party, Kiraya didn't know why, she couldn't even resist at all, but obediently did what the other party said, and she immediately repeated the words that the old high priest dictated to her in the Great Temple.

And Joshua's heart sank slightly as he listened to the retelling of the half-blood god descendant with jewel-like hair in front of him.

"Isn't it the right lord who came?" He thought helplessly.

The female elder of the Earth Temple, who had been in contact with the imperial family a long time ago and expressed her desire to reconcile with the Radcliffe family, retold all the words of their high priest smoothly, removing the meaningless information in them, and the meanings expressed were roughly as follows: The original Earth Temple camp, that is, the latent forces that have been promoting war behind the scenes for hundreds of years, and joining forces with the five-colored dragon clan, abyss demons and evil god believers, have now been torn apart by the rekindling of the flames, The faction that had not supported the original plan had now completely broken away from the organization, and had cleared itself as its own nobleman, mage, or local power. And those who supported the original 'falling into the abyss' plan have also split into more than a dozen scattered organizations, large and small.

Kiraya's faction is a conservative Great Temple faction, most of them are descendants of the Mother God with the blood of the Earth Mother God, they empathize with the pain that the Microf Continent once felt, so they have been committed to eliminating this pain, that is, repairing nature through various methods, and even reshaping nature, of course, this is useless, the original Mycrof Continent has been dead from the bottom of the root, and no matter how much it is repaired, it will be useless, so they have also become a part of joining the abyss. At the beginning, Nolan's faction was a radical faction that took the initiative to contact the abyss demons and even evil gods, and they had gone crazy because of the pain, not so much to eliminate the pain, but to share this pain with everyone in this world, so that everyone could experience the horror of the imminent destruction of the world.

Now because the Church of the Seven Gods and the southern countries have joined forces to suppress the latent Earth Temple forces in all aspects, both conservatives and radicals have fallen into an embarrassing situation, and the radicals are better to say, they are crazy people who are similar to the cultists, and the conservatives are a bit of a headache, although they did plan a lot of conspiracies in the past, but now the flames are rekindled, the earth is back to life, they have lost their motivation and motivation, and now they have no interest in starting at all, let alone confront the Church of the Seven Gods and other big forces, There were even louder voices of surrender and reconciliation within the organization, and in desperation, the Great Temple could only send a large number of envoys to every force that had been more or less opposed, intending to conduct peace talks.

As the conqueror of the Abyss of Anos, a participant in the Battle of the Dragons, and the one who has faced the replica of the Ember Earth Sword, the Earth Temple does owe him an explanation, and he has a close personal relationship with the Pope of the Church of the Seven, and if possible, he hopes to introduce them to them.

Even such words were spoken, and the other party did not lie. Joshua nodded, there are indeed not many people who dare to lie to themselves now, and Kiraya is not one of them, although she can speak calmly and smoothly in front of him who shows hostility, but there is still a long way to go from concealing it quietly.

But since it is not the main master, there is no interest, there is no grudge in the first place, and there is no point in peace talks. And just when Joshua was about to stop this conversation and send this god descendant out of Moldavia, Kiraya seemed to have a premonition of something, and suddenly said: "The high priest once said that with your character, you will definitely have no interest in this kind of thing, so we are willing to serve you as the [Mountain Messenger] of the Earth Temple, and hold the highest authority in our organization of the descendants of the Mother God......"

"Mountain emissary?"

This sentence immediately made Joshua frown slightly, he had also attacked the Divine Doom Mist [Rock Mountain Giant God] of the Earth Mother God in his previous life, of course he understood what the title of Mountain Envoy meant, it was an authority comparable to that of the High Priest of the Temple, and the honor of being able to communicate directly with the God.

"But......" The warrior temporarily dismissed the idea of sending Kiraya away, and he asked with some confusion, "Isn't that just for the title of Titan?" ”

Mountains, thunder, forests, rivers...... Titles like these should only be awarded to the son of the Mother Earth God, the title of the pure-blooded Titan, for the Earth Temple, a group of people who are willing to take the entire world into the abyss for the sake of the dead Earth Goddess, even if they are just facing the Church of the Seven Gods to the end, they will never make concessions in this regard.

"Aren't you the existence of the blood of the Titan of the Mountains?" This time it was Kiraya's turn to be surprised, and she even subconsciously raised her head and said, "The power of steel in your body is the best proof!" ”

"Interesting, when did I become a Titan again?"

Touching the battlements at the tower on his side, Joshua smiled, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the Earth Temple's guess, because his steel power had indeed been guided by the Grandia World's lofty mountain titan Urbandni, and his real body was a titan-like steel giant, and it was not strange for this familiar aura to make the other party misjudge, and he even praised the other party's acumen.

And everything makes sense - I accidentally offended my own family before, and now of course I want to reconcile as soon as possible.

"But this reason is not enough, go on, tell the whole truth."

Joshua knew of course that he was not a Titan descendant at all, but because he thought of Urbani's guidance to him, the warrior also planned to give the group a chance: "Your heart is pounding, I can see your blood flow and muscle fibers trembling...... You can't hide a legend. ”

Feeling the increasing pressure, Kiraya realized that Joshua had indeed deliberately restrained the coercion before, and she forced herself to explain in the midst of the monster roar and the darkness spreading the illusion: "Because...... In this world, only the Titan of the Mountains possesses the rudiments of the power of steel, while the other Titans are just ordinary elemental powers...... Even in the heyday of the Mother Earth Temple, there were only a few people who possessed the power of origin, and now in this world, you are the only one ......"

"We have lost the inheritance of steel, and it is because of this that the Great Temple family has declined, and the power has been seized by the radicals......"

Almost all her body trembled, Kiraya's voice became lower and lower, and Joshua, who sensed that the other party was about to fall unconscious, slightly restrained her coercion, so that she could speak smoothly: "The high priest means that we must be friendly with you at all costs, and for this, we can present the scriptures left by the mountain envoys and origin power cultivators for thousands of years or even the Glorious Era!" ”

It would have been nice to say no sooner. Blinking, Joshua really didn't expect this kind of unexpected gain, he thought for a while, and planned to ask someone to send this female elder who was dripping with nervous sweat on the ground and almost collapsed to rest for a while, and then contact Eagle to ask about the situation, and make a confirmation, but what he didn't expect was that Kiraya seemed to think that this meant that the warrior was still intending to refuse, so he raised his head with a look of madness and looked directly into the warrior's eyes.

"You'll be interested!"

Coughing and saying, Kiraya's voice, which was almost suffocated by the resentment and coercion on Joshua's body, revealed a morbid distortion: "During those torturous days, we did everything, lurking in various countries, studying ancient magic, searching for ancient dark relics, and analyzing the Black Forest to restore the environment...... This is our original limit, the Earth Temple was originally a loose organization spontaneously gathered by a group of descendants of the divine blood, even if we thought about it for 10,000 years, we couldn't think of how to plunge the world into the abyss, and it was impossible to have anything to do with the Five-Colored Dragon Clan and the Abyss Lord......"

"What are you trying to say?" Unexpectedly, there was still secret news, Joshua immediately turned pale and continued to ask, but at this time, Qiraya was paralyzed in the third, and she was almost in shock, and she could only hear her muttering a few words.

"It's ...... them"

"Dark ...... among the Stars"
