On the 20th of June, 837, the Lord's House of Moldavia heard the usual complaints of the maids.

"Master, you haven't taken us into a serious battle for almost two or three years......"

Near the portal on the top floor of the Lord's Mansion, Hotaru stretched, and the girl whispered to Joshua who was about to pass through the portal with a bored face: "Okay, I know you're so strong that you don't need a weapon......"

"This time, the master is going to a distant world to assist the Steel Python...... Don't talk about us, even if it's Master Nostradamus, the master didn't invite them. ”

On the side, Rin explained to the silver-haired girl quite helplessly. Compared to Hotaru, who is obsessed with his 'weapon' identity, he doesn't have any obsession with this aspect, whether it is dealing with government affairs, managing the size of the lord's mansion or managing the Radcliffe family's industrial planning, in his opinion, there is no difference between fighting and them, it is something that can help the master.

"But you kept us at home, and we always felt useless."

Hotaru, who was a little unwilling, muttered softly, she knew that this journey to another world was likely to be dangerous, after all, this was a trouble that even the will of the world could not solve, and she needed to entrust other powerful foreign aid to deal with it, but she was not afraid of danger, she was only afraid that she would be useless to Joshua, so that she had no value in existence.

No. 3 and Hei Ze, who was holding a small light, were whispering something on the side, and the artificial intelligence girl who had already talked to Joshua seemed to be saying something that frightened the black dragon, such as the mandatory use of freezing magic every day to wake up, 500 kilometers of flight training before breakfast, etc...... This was commissioned by Joshua to ensure that Black could still exercise normally when he went to the Otherworld, after all, if it really put Black into a deep sleep, it would not be easy to revive him.

"If you really want to explore with me."

At the same time, Joshua, who was about to cross the portal, turned his head, he looked at Hotaru and Rin who were obediently staying in place, a subtle light flashed in his calm eyes, and the warrior whispered, "Then get stronger." ”

"Hotaru, Rin, and No. 3 and Black, your talents are all very high, you have a natural psionic body, an alchemical creation at the level of an artificial goblin, and an artificial soul in the world of Karlis, a black dragon with the blood of an ancient dragon...... In the case of the Qualitative Spirit Transformation Equation and the inheritance I left behind, the speed of your progress should be more than ten times that of ordinary people In fact, aren't you already at the gold level? If one day, the strength of your human form reaches the middle level of extreme intent, then you should be able to keep up with my pace. ”

Joshua never liked to walk alone in the front of the world, and he always wanted someone to follow in his footsteps...... But he's not going to slow himself down for that. He was very relieved to be able to keep up, and if he couldn't keep up, then he couldn't keep up.

Because of the divine inheritance and the quality and spirit conversion equation, No. 3's strength has improved rapidly, so there is no need to worry, and if Hotaru, Rin and Hei want to get rid of their embarrassing position now, they either choose to give up, or they will grit their teeth and catch up with his shadow with more than ten times more effort than ordinary people.

"Don't worry about me, I don't think this exploration will be difficult."

Turning around, Joshua stepped through the portal again, he turned his back to everyone, and Joshua said calmly: "According to Karlis's words, this should be a small world, and it won't take long. ”

"Come on, my weapon."

After speaking, with a burst of blue light like the waves of the sea, the warrior entered the space-time passage and disappeared.

The farewell crowd also left one by one, whether it was Hotaru or Rin, whether it was black or light, even No. 3 seemed more silent than before. Joshua's words were not too embellished, they were very real, and they were all thinking about how to approach their master at this time.

In any case, living in the home of a strong man is indeed a very hard thing.

And at this moment, in the study on the second floor of the Lord's Mansion, with a trace of holy light flowing, a piece of neat and white letter paper slowly appeared in a small circle next to the desk.

This piece of letter paper is made of exquisite materials, and it can be seen that it comes from a place of extremely high craftsmanship, it is not wrapped in an envelope, but there is a layer of holy light enveloping its outside, at this time, the holy light is rapidly dissipating, and the words on the white paper are gradually revealed.

【To my friend, Earl Radcliffe】

The first and only page of the letter can be seen.

"My friend, I am struck by your views on the soul and the soul's extreme meaning."

It is a letter, written in a beautiful and ancient handwriting, in the style of ligatures of the last century, and his handwriting is very similar to the standard penmanship used in the Far South...... But if you look at it yourself, it's not so much that he writes like a standard penmanship, but that the standard penmanship is a reference to him. At this point, the person who defined the standard seemed to be quite surprised, so much so that his handwriting was a little floating: "The denial of the innate nature of the soul and the emphasis on the relationship between spirit and flesh can be said to have put forward a new idea for the study of the soul, and your contribution is very large, if I can, I would like to organize your letter and publish it in the official academic journal of the Holy Mountain." ”

"At the same time, I think I also need to explain to you the results that the Seven Sacred Mountains have obtained from observing souls for so many years, and what is the relationship between the soul cycle in the mouths of the people and the world we live in."

At this point, the excited handwriting had calmed down, as if the writer had regained his composure at this time, and he wrote solemnly and earnestly: "First of all, I must tell you that the world is actually receiving energy from the void all the time. ”

"Void rays, space-time fluctuations, tides of foreign energy...... Before the Great Demon Tide came, each world was actually receiving a large amount of energy from the Void, but these energies were only short-lived, they would quickly pass through our world, and even the Great Demon Tide was the same, if it wasn't for the Great Demon Tide to be a continuous outbreak, then it would be just a glimpse for us. ”

"Nothing can hold back these waves of energy that seem to have overflowed after the destruction of the world (pardon Barbarossa, I held him in and knew what you talked about the other day), but the soul can. Souls are able to capture these otherworldly energies and grow their ego...... The more people there are, the more souls there are, the more energy they leave behind, and after the passing of sentient beings, the souls circulate in the world, turning into the reincarnation of souls, returning all the energy they have absorbed in their lives to the world...... Can you understand? ”

"The cycle of the soul will continue to strengthen the concentration of energy within a world! And this energy can definitely be used for the cultivation of extraordinary power, as long as it has some extraordinary power and can give birth to the world of the soul, then its concentration of extraordinary power will be higher and higher, stronger and stronger, the smaller the world, the faster the concentration of extraordinary power will rise! ”

However, at the very end of the letter, the handwriting was slightly different from before, and it did not seem to have been written at the same time, and the handwriting had become much more sloppy.

"According to the gods, the Mycrof world should have been blown away by the war between the sages and the evil gods at the end of the last era, and the current Mycrof world is much smaller than it was in the Glorious Age, only about half the size, so the energy concentration of our world returned to its heyday very quickly, and soon returned to the level of the Glorious Age, or even thicker."

"The Boundless Celestial Realm is a product of war, it was originally part of the sky of Microf's world, and it was the gods who set up a barrier to time and space and turned it into their own throne. It was originally an extremely important part of the Soul Cycle, but now it has become the burial place of the gods, and we have guided it back to the Microf World, completing part of the Soul Cycle...... The innocent souls who used to wander around the world now have a resting place. ”

At this time, the writer seemed to be a little tired, but he still wrote seriously: "To be honest, the reason why I am so late to reply is because a major event has happened recently, which has involved a lot of my energy, if you can, Joshua, please contact me as soon as possible, this matter is very important, and extremely special, maybe only you have the ability to solve it." ”

"The Seven Sacred Mountains, Iger."

The letter has appeared, and the recipient has already left, heading to an unknown land.

And at this moment, the Holy Mountain Battleship, the Glorious Fortress, the central control area of the 'Sage's Eye' Observatory.

More than a dozen elite clerics are working in the spherical hall, facing a curtain of light, they control hundreds of observation circles, and superimpose them into large or small observation points that can penetrate the turbulence of space, and these observation points will be controlled by three shifts of clergy, day and night, observing and monitoring all the abnormal conditions around the Microf world.

Whether it is the turbulence of time and space, the fluctuation of energy, or the mass depression of a large mass, these anomalies are monitored by the Sage's Eye Observatory, and the observation members are summarizing all the information in detail and reporting it to the main control room of the Holy Mountain Center, most of which are meaningless space-time fluctuations, or a murmur caused by a tremor of energy, but no one will slack off.

"No anomalies in Interval 58-92."

"No anomalies in Interval 93-121."

"There is an anomaly in Sector 131: a small Void meteorite is flying towards the world of Mycrof. Detection Results: No otherworldly germs remained. Solution: Passive wait-and-see. ”

"No anomalous signals detected."

In the Controlled Zone, the clergy sent out a series of teleportation messages, they seemed to be searching for something, and everyone present would be shocked every time they 'found an anomalous signal', and after determining that it was just the most ordinary disordered signal in the void, they would return to normal.

And in the center of the control area, there is a white-haired old man standing here, under the respectful gaze of everyone around him, Eagle is monitoring all the signal stations at the same time, his face is calm, but it seems that he is waiting for something.

"Hiss ......"

"Interval 157 detects anomalous signals."

The cleric controlling the observation point skillfully signaled it, and while it was just a faint hissing sound, most likely a meaningless short wave caused by the Void Ray interfering with the observation circle, it was his job to report that everything was different.

"Shhh...... It's here. ”

"Repeated anomalies."

The clergy once again sent out a second reminder signal, which is also a very normal thing, after all, if there is an energy interference at the observation point, then even a dozen times in a row are expected, and the clergy working here is even ready to send out a continuous reminder signal, and at the same time, he is thinking about whether to eat barbecue for dinner, a few days ago, the cultivation center of the Holy Mountain Fortress in the void had a bumper harvest, and the fortress finally does not need to transport food on the surface, but can be self-sufficient.

"Hiss...... We ......"

"Repeated anomalous observations...... Wait a minute! ”

The middle-aged cleric, who was thinking about whether to have a barbecue for dinner or a meal of bread and mashed potatoes in the cafeteria, skillfully signaled, but he was soon stunned, and the cleric felt as if he had just heard the voice of the McCroft lingua franca...... Is he hallucinating? Or is there really such a voice? All in all, he was going to focus on this anomaly.

However, before he could make the next move, more and clearer signals came.

"Hiss...... Multiply...... Laa...... Over here...... Be...... Big Repository ...... Watchman...... Report...... Hiss ......"

"Discover a clear otherworldly signal!"

Without hesitation, the middle-aged priest immediately put aside the roast and bread mashed potatoes in his mind, and he sent out the highest-level 'Otherworldly Observer' signal, which represented the discovery of otherworldly life, or the highest level of signal that could communicate or travel in the void. According to the process, this priest first saves the signal that has just appeared through the intelligent core of the observation station, and then uploads it layer by layer according to the permission, and because his highest signal is sent, at the same time, all the observation points in the 1-200 interval are monitored to transfer the target and conduct a full-power search.

Eagle, who was standing in the control room, had his eyes wide open: because he was monitoring all the observation points at the same time, he also heard that the voice was not a hallucination, but the real Microf lingua franca, which was a strange voice, with an accent very different from today's lingua franca, but anyone could understand the language as if it were a dialect.

It's finally here.

The next wait didn't last long, and as the highest alert was issued, all the working clergy had made sure that the signal was true and had converged on the observation point in Sector 157, and a clearer signal appeared in everyone's ears.

“…… The inner cycle has collapsed, we are no longer able to survive, the matter transformation circle is still working, but we have no matter to circulate. ”

It was a tired female voice, her tone was strange, it seemed that she rarely spoke to people, and there were many problems with grammar, but no one cared about this little detail, and everyone listened attentively: "The stars are extinguished, and the world is dark." Without light, we can't find our way home...... If you can hear this voice, passers-by of this signal, if you can hear it, please tell Mrs. McCro that we keep our promise and stay here. ”

"The millennium has passed. The Great Database Keepers and their descendants are still in their posts and will be laid to rest here. ”
