The light on the horizon flickered, and two rays of light as soft as moonlight, but without the slightest sense of existence, rose from the main city of Moldavia and took off, making Joshua, who had already led the team to his door, slightly stunned.

The warrior was stunned, not because he saw that behind these two rays of light were two Legendary-level spellcasters, but because he was familiar with these two Legendary-level spellcasters.

'Rune Mastery' Barnier Gaskell and 'Mind Master' William Charles, these two spellcasters are a well-known wandering legendary combination in their previous lives, they are not subordinate to any forces, but because of the invitation of the White Tower, they occasionally teach in the Eastern Plains. Most of the time, they hide their identities and wander the countries of the Mycrof continent, carrying out the adventures they have been carrying out for decades.

Many people don't know the purpose of the adventures of the two legendary powerhouses for decades, but Joshua knows very well that Barnier's goal is to find the [Ancient Dragon] who has long been lost in the Mycrof Continent.

[The Man Who Chases the Ancient Dragon] is an epic quest chain, it was from their commission that Joshua also received this quest chain, but unfortunately, when the abyss invaded in the later generations and many ancient dragons awakened, the duo that had been looking for the ancient dragon for a lifetime had already fallen apart, the legendary bard William Charles disappeared inexplicably, and the rune mage Barnier Gaskell was seriously injured and lived in seclusion in the deep mountains of the West Mountain, until the demons raged and did not return.

There must be a lot of hidden secrets in this, but no one knows why, and with Barnier killing in battle after intercepting hundreds of thousands of demon armies and three demon lords head-on in the Valley of Tears Fortress in order to cover the infiltration of Brandon and others, all the truth was buried in the underworld.

But now, more than a decade after William's disappearance, the two legendary powerhouses who are known as the most approachable are still alive, and the warrior can even feel a friendly message from the light to him, which makes him laugh dumbly.

"Why are you leaving in such a hurry, I haven't thanked you yet."

Joshua understands that because of his return, the legendary powerhouses entrusted by Pope Eagle to help him protect the Moldavian Territory have also completed their tasks, as the top combat power and pillars of a country, most of them are busy people, and it is normal to leave without time to say hello to them, but Barnier and William are different, one of these two is a descendant of the nobility of a small country in the West Mountain region, and the other is an orphan of a half-elf city in the Far South. After all, the warrior is still a lord of a land, and he will not leave his territory for too long...... Just listen to it.

- Maybe it's because of the Great Ajax Volcano.

Joshua suddenly thought of this, and he remembered the lava cave at the bottom of the volcano, which was the lair of an ancient dragon, and where it had planted the Dragon's Blood Lock, sealing the space-time passage of the world of Irghna.

Barnier and William probably knew this from somewhere, so they were now in a hurry to explore the trail of the ancient dragon, and thinking of this, the warrior no longer thought about the whereabouts of the two, but continued to walk towards the main city of Moldavia.

Along the way, the city guards and residents saluted respectfully, and after Joshua handed over more than thirty young men from Grandia to the head of the Wintercastle Academy in the main city, he returned to the lord's mansion with Hotaru and Rin.

And what greeted him was the complaint of No. 3.

"Joshua! You're finally back! ”

Grabbed by the arm and shaken vigorously by the magic projection that suddenly appeared at his side, the warrior was drowned in the bitter water of Miss AI the moment he returned to his home.

It turned out that in the months after Joshua's departure, many things had happened in the Moldavian territory.

First of all, the prisons are full.

Under the description of No. 3, Joshua quickly learned the cause and effect - in the months since the first menarche of the Great Demon Tide, the concentration of magic in the atmosphere has increased by leaps and bounds, and the hearts of many adventurers and cultists who have broken through the realm have swelled, and they arrogantly feel that they have become extraordinary, very different from before, so they want to stir up trouble in the territory of the warriors.

However, due to the action of some unknown righteous and brave strong people - Joshua knew that it must be the legendary powerhouses who stayed in Moldavia when he heard it - these inflated guys counted one by one, and all of them were sealed and thrown at the door of the main city prison, even if some adventurers had broken through to the gold level, there were a few particularly bad ideas, but those who did not implement them were still hung upside down on the street lamp, needless to say, they were all arrested and waiting for the verdict, but because there were too many of them, So the prison is full.

Secondly, there is the demonic beast.

Needless to say about this, Joshua can roughly understand this, he took the group of young people from the world of Grandia all the way from the Ural Mountains, and encountered countless monsters along the way, although these monsters that have atavistic phenomena due to high concentration of magic cannot break through the defenses of villages and towns, but they can destroy farmland, break fruit trees, and cause great damage to the daily production of Moldavia.

Although the Knights have been dispatched several times to exterminate the rampant demonic beasts, it still does not see results in a short period of time, and the number of beasts and demonic beasts breeding in the Great Ajax Mountains is really like a star, according to the calculations of artificial intelligence, this anxious suppression and eradication operation will continue until at least this winter.

The rest of the information is not so important, it is nothing more than the opening of a new elven opera house in the city, an undetectable tavern near the square, and a docile ironclad mountain dragon tamed by the Wintercastle Academy, along with a nest of ironclad mountain dragon eggs - when he heard this, Joshua had an unusually familiar feeling, but he couldn't remember why.

Time was spent in the whispered complaints of Miss No. 3, and in the absence of Joshua and the Shenji siblings, it was she who handled and 'decided' all government affairs alone, which was not an easy task for her, and the four of them returned to the interior of the Lord's Mansion, and in the gentle crackling of the fireplace, Joshua sat on his big chair with a gentle smile on his face, listening to what the other party had to say.

It's the year 834 of Starfall, and it's still a few years before the next epic event, but the biggest crisis facing the world of McCrove has been solved, and the warrior himself has become a legend, whether it's a mad beast or a restless adventurer, it's a trifle that can be destroyed by him. With the development of the Moldavian Territory already on the right track, there was nothing left to bother Joshua to do.

Demon invasion, abyss invasion, that was nearly twenty years later, he believes, with his changes to this world, in the world rekindled the fire, many cults that colluded with the abyss have lost their reason for existence, everything will never be as desperate as it was at the beginning.

So.

The long-toiled warrior had many, many hours to experience the life he had never had time to experience, to listen to the complaints that he had not had time to listen to before.

— months later.

Starfall 834, September 27.

There is no impermeable wall under the sky, and the news of Joshua's breakthrough has spread to the high-level of various countries in a few months, of course, except for the old Pope Iger, no one knows what the warriors have experienced in the world of Grandia, they just think that Joshua has found the last inheritance of the sages in that distant otherworld, and obtained the mystery of the initial fire left by the sages, which has extended the life of the world, and the warriors have also gained a lot of benefits from it and have been able to advance to the legend.

'The youngest legendary powerhouse in the world'. Although it was because of various adventures and inheritances, and just caught up with the great demon tide, no matter which force it was, it had to admit that Joshua's own quality was the reason why he could seize the opportunity and become a legend, making this world another top and a legend.

Nowadays, the name of Joshua Van Radcliffe is written in the most important documents by the leaders of the major forces with the most rigorous attitude, just like other legendary powerhouses, there are many special teams responsible for studying the past experience of this young warrior and analyzing his interpersonal relationships, this is not to make an enemy of Joshua, but simply to record and prevent the extremely dangerous people, after all, whether it is a gift or a celebration, planning a response plan and final measures, At the very least, you have to know each other's likes and dislikes and habits.

It seems that with tacit approval, among the people of the four major human gathering places, there began to be poems belonging to warriors, which are not the same as the official propaganda, these stories spread by the bards have penetrated into every corner of the countryside, paving the way for a new legendary powerhouse, because the battle of the dragon has not passed for too long, and Joshua's reputation has now spread to every corner of the world.

But, probably there is a slight error in the intelligence, or the bards miscalculated the plot that the people like to see, for some reason, Joshua's most popular story is actually his series of revenge and slaughtering monsters, anyway, under the subtle deviation, people who originally had only a general understanding of Joshua now know that there is a terrible lord in the far north, who killed his uncle, expelled his brother, exterminated the Kuroshio, slaughtered the dragon, his name was cast by blood, his anger was never extinguished, and his bones forged the throne, The black dragon crawls at the feet - if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't find the relevant news, the warrior would probably have one more attribute to capture the princess.

Within a few months, there were at least more than twenty more forces in the Northland Moldavian territory, and their only purpose was to find out some secret information about the warriors through various side knocks, and the Northlanders, who had long been accustomed to it, also boldly agreed to their request, and then repeated the words in the tavern that they had not known how many times. These spies think they are doing secretly, but they don't know that their every move is being recorded by the AI girl.

For these spies, the warrior has no idea of expulsion, and instead of letting others make unwise choices in their own unknowns, it is better to let them know a little about their own situation.

What's more, now he is not in the main city.

Moldavia, Black Forest fortress.

At the end of September, the weather turned cool again, and the early morning fog caused layers of frost to condense on the bluestone avenue, and the silver-haired girl and the black-haired boy followed a dark-haired man, silently crossing the deserted streets.

Transformed by the Rune Dwarves and the many mercenary mages of Wintercastle Academy, the sturdy tower now shimmers with a silver-gray metallic sheen, towering majestically behind the multi-spelled walls, waiting in the cold wind for the next Black Tide, when the monsters are not faced with ancient bows and crossbow artillery, but with the alchemical creations of the latest era.

The patrolling guards roamed the streets with everlasting lanterns, and the twice-renovated fortress was littered with traces of the detection circle, but neither the magic nor the eyes of the guards detected any trace of the warriors.

In a short time, the three of them were already in front of a quaint church on the edge of the fortress.

The old church, which had also been renovated, was no longer visible on the surface, only some traces of history were on the stone monument standing in front of the door, and after entering the door, the soldiers noticed that there was no dust on the seats and floor of the prayer hall, and it could be seen that people often came here to clean.

"This is ......" Rin blinked a little suspiciously, and her golden pupils revealed a taste of doubt: "It feels, it's a little strange." ”

"Do you feel a strange power?" On his side, Hotaru showed a nostalgic look, she knew that her brother had not been here with her master, so she explained in a low voice, "This is a cemetery. ”

"The Radcliffe family heads and their magical purpose."

Before the black-haired boy could show a surprised expression, Joshua had already pressed his hand on the altar in front of the hall, and a gray-blue light rose from the bottom of the altar, sweeping over the warrior and the god machine siblings, and an inexplicable spiritual voice sounded in the depths of the hearts of the three of them.

"Bloodline confirmed...... The Radcliffe family is directly bloodlined, has a divine contract, and is eligible. ”

"Born from fire, born from steel, wisdom is immortal, and order is eternal."

A dark blue door opened in the ancient praise, and behind it, there was a blurred black earth and a long pale sky, countless gray stone tablets and damaged weapons were erected in silence, and the next moment, the warrior stretched out his hand, touched the door of time and space, and with the layers of fluctuations, the world on the other side of time and space seemed to be covered by something suddenly became clear.

And Joshua's voice also sounded in the ears of the two divine machines.

"Let's go, Hotaru, Rin."

At this time, with a hint of inexplicable emotion in the soldier's voice, Joshua stepped forward and entered the narrow passage of time and space.

After a few years, he returned to the place again.

At that time, he had just inherited the Radcliffe family, and the overwhelming black tide swept from the distant Hesse and mountains, as if it could annihilate all the torrents, countless warriors used their flesh and blood to block the invasion of monsters, guarding the peace of this territory, and here, he obtained the inheritance that can be said to be the beginning of everything.

Now, he has achieved a legend, the power of the top of the Microf continent is surging in his body, it is an indestructible and indestructible force of steel, this is a realm that no one in the family has touched the edge for hundreds of years, not only a family, the warrior has become a heavy stroke that cannot be skipped in the new history of the entire continent.

With his eyes sweeping, Joshua found the familiar stone tablet, and he strode about the windless world, while the boy and girl hurried to keep up with their master.

In front of the stele, the black gold-veined giant sword was quietly inserted in the black soil, and there were some traces of shattering on the cold steel blade, the remains of the old butler and the father of this body were here, and the warrior looked down, and the new seemed to be like an epitaph carved yesterday.

[Perhaps one day, civilization and order will be able to transform the world into a more livable state, but not today. Before that, someone has to stand up and fight, and then die]

Joshua closed her eyes, memories flooding through her mind.

In that era when darkness covered the earth, the ancestors of mankind raised burning torches to dispel darkness with light, and countless brave men struggled and fought on a desperate road with no end, hoping to exchange their sacrifices for a hopeful tomorrow.

Joshua took out the Azure Orb from his bosom, and the inheritance from the sages seemed to sense the former holders around him, flashing with a bright azure light, shining on all the stone tablets and remnants.

"Enough sacrifices."

The deep voice, echoing in the small narrow passages hanging outside the world, the words that were incomprehensible at that time have now been realized by Joshua's own hands, and the Microf continent has a new future.

"The sacrifice and glory of the Radcliffe family should not be hidden in history."

The warrior stretched out his hand and stroked the tombstone, dust and cold touch came from his palm, he was silent for a long time, and then showed a faint smile: "Ancestors, too, should take a look at the world that has been reborn. ”

With that, Joshua stood in the midst of the stone grove of tombstones and the remains of weapons, and raised his right hand.

- Whirring, fierce wind, hanging in this windless world.

Red, as if it was a flame of red, as if representing the red of life, as if the red like the sun lit up from the hands of the warriors, and the silver-gray steel luster floated in this dazzling red light, and then filled the entire cemetery world, and the scattered sparks even transmitted beyond the void, releasing a bright light.

At the same time, the sky above the Black Forest Fortress suddenly lit up with a dazzling light that made people can't help but close their eyes, and the space gradually convexated, forming a spherical space as large as half a fortress, in the nervous shouts and vigilant eyes of many guards and knights, the scene inside the spherical space gradually became clear, and it was a black earth, and the black-haired man standing in the middle.

With the power of legend, breaking through the barrier separating the two spaces, Joshua used his own strength to move the family cemetery that had left his hometown for 400 years back to the world of McCrove!

A story about the passing of the torch has come to an end today.

But this is by no means the end of the road.

Because there is another story about a great warrior, and there is a whole new beginning.
