Chapter 36: The Azure Orb
At the extreme end of the continent, in the far north of the Empire, in the far northern tundra on the edge of the empire, there is a majestic mountain that reaches into the clouds. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It spewed hot smoke and released black mist, drawing endless flames from the center of the earth into golden rivers that flowed down the ridges, and from this boiling mountain as the origin, countless peaks and hills sprang out from it, stretching into vast and boundless mountains, on which endless snow fell for thousands of years, covering these gray-black mountains with a layer of silver.
This mountain was named after the emperor of the empire at that time, and because it was particularly tall, it was prefixed with a large one, so its name was "Great Ajax Volcano", and the name of the mountain was "Great Ajax Mountains".
Adjacent to the golden river of lava, the water from the melting snow flows from the top of the snowy peaks of the extreme north, and converges at the bottom of the mountains to form an unfrozen lake, from which a river gushes out and flows into the distance.
The flow of water is the flow of life, and the convergence of water is the convergence of life, and the black forest takes this as the origin and begins to take root on the snowfield, and traces of life begin to appear, and demonic beasts reproduce here...... Relying on the geothermal heat of the [Mager Unfrozen River] and the underground lava, there is finally a suitable area for life on this cold and unlimited frozen soil.
So, I don't know how many years later, humans came here, they cut down forests, expelled demonic beasts, built cities, forged fortresses, divided territories, and multiplied...... They divided four territories around the Great Ajax Mountains, and this is the origin of the Four Territories of the Northland.
Today, west of the Great Ajax Mountains, Moldovan territory, Hessian fortress.
In the reception room of the central tower, Brandon stared at the man in front of him.
At this point, Hotaru went to pick out the armor, Verdani went back to her room to rest, there were no enemies around, and the golden swordsman was finally able to take a closer look at the mysterious comrade in his eyes, the new Keeper of Chaos.
Joshua Radcliffe. Awkward name, but often seen, the same guardian on the side of the order, the Kaos family is naturally often concerned about the same kind in the far north, the name Joshua he probably saw a few years ago, in the list of future chaos keepers, and recently it often appeared at the banquets of the nobles of the imperial capital, as the object of everyone's praise or questioning.
After all, it was almost a legendary thing to run alone for seventeen days and nights, rush back to the territory to kill all the usurpers, and kill another golden warrior while advancing to the golden rank, even if it was said for a few years, even Brandon couldn't help but have a curiosity - he was extremely confident in his own strength, and he was very curious about how strong this man who had almost become the embodiment of the god of war in rumors was.
However, when he learned that his beloved was in distress and that his territory was under siege by a tide of wild beasts, the blonde swordsman immediately forgot about it, and knowing the seriousness of the matter, he immediately set off and rushed to Moldova, ready to take the stubborn countess away...... Unfortunately, he didn't succeed, even if he ran out of ammunition, the purple-haired mage was unwilling to give up his territory, and the helpless Brandon couldn't abandon her, and he didn't have the opportunity to take her with him...... He was even ready to die with Verdany.
No supplies, no ammunition, no morale, no physical strength, naturally, no reinforcements, it was really desperate, what an overestimation of one's own ability and determination.
Just as he was laughing at himself, in the distance, a red light suddenly appeared.
The smoke and dust rose and drifted away with the red light, and a few knights, led by a warrior in black armor, appeared from the distant sky, and they climbed over the mountains and hills to the battlefield, and the swordsman could see that the banner above this array was a sword-wielding hand with gold on a black background, the banner of the Radcliffe family, the owner of the Moldavian Lord.
Reinforcements?
But the number of people is too small......
Shaking his head, Brandon's heart, which had a glimmer of hope, suddenly extinguished again, he shook his head and sighed.
However, is the black-armored warrior who led the team the same Joshua that he already knew? Dare to bring such a small number of soldiers to support, I don't know whether to say reckless or brave, unscrupulous or confident.
Is he really as strong as rumored?
Just when this question first came to mind, reality answered it.
Yes.
The beast tide in the distance was broken through layer by layer by this group of knights who were not favored by everyone, and the rapid collision brought a bloody storm and blood, stirring up countless chaos, even if Verdani's glorious power [Star Arc Shattering] dispersed some of the beast tides, but it was too much and too powerful to maintain this speed and impact among the beasts.
Incredible, unmatched, not like a mortal army, but from ......
Unable to find the right adjective, Brandon took a deep breath.
All the credit goes to the warriors who have always been at the forefront, as the collision angle and cohesion point of the array.
It seems to be a reckless action, but in fact, it exerted all the strength of the body, and did not waste any excess strength when attacking, breaking through the beast tide, killing the beasts as smoothly as eating and drinking, obviously it is only the golden beginner, but it has done what most of the gold high-level can't do, if such a person is not enough to be called strong, then there are few strong people in the world.
With this kind of technology and strength, it is not that people who are reckless and unscrupulous and unable to think about strategies are not unwilling, but because they are confident in their own strength and do not need to think.
"It seems that Joshua, you have perfectly inherited the power of order from the Radcliffe family."
With a sigh of emotion, Brandon broke the silence between the two of them due to Hotaru and Verdani's departure, and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I haven't thanked you for saving Dani's life. ”
"Why do you say that?"
Because his clothes were too tight, Qiao Sia, who felt a little unfamiliar, frowned slightly, and he said with some doubts: "If you say assistance, this is what it should be, and there is no need to thank you, not to mention that the earl himself has already said it himself." ”
"No, if it weren't for your arrival, in the face of such a desperate beast tide, Dani would definitely ignore her body, use magic potions to suppress her spirit, and forcibly cast a great magic...... I know her and know she will, so I thank you for coming so that I don't lose her. ”
Shaking his head, Brandon sighed lightly: "I know you have a lot of questions to ask, the old earl died too early for you to get the full inheritance...... I can answer your doubts, just ask. ”
"In that case, you're welcome."
He liked the blonde swordsman's direct attitude, and the fact that he could ask questions at will without the presence of the countess, Joshua pondered for a while and said, "Where did the Azure Orb come from?" Why did my clan accept the mission of becoming the Warden of Chaos? What is the essence of Aragami? ...... behind the space-time channel"
"Stop!"
The exit interrupted Joshua's continuous questioning, and Brandon smiled bitterly: "Come one by one, how do you answer me when you ask me like this?" ”
"Then the Innate Blue Orb."
Joshua knew a little bit about everything else, but he knew almost nothing about this mysterious origin artifact.
The blonde swordsman thought for a moment before replying, his expression a little subtle: "It seems that the old earl died without telling you anything during his lifetime...... In fact, the Azure Orb has no origin, it has been in the hands of your family from the beginning, as a testament to its legacy and as the head of the family. ”
