Chapter 14: The Power of Inheritance
"Master, this is ......"
Unlike the well-informed Joshua, Hotaru had never seen such a strange sight, before her eyes, a faint blue light propped up a door, behind it, a blurred black earth and a distant pale sky, countless gray stone tombstones and damaged weapons erected in silence, and beyond the blue glow was the dusty old church, the two distinct and uninhibited.
Vaguely, she felt a sense of familiarity pass through the space, coming from the weapons, and this intimate feeling couldn't help but make the Miss Divine Machine step forward to touch the blue light.
"It's a space-time gate."
Stretching out his hand and pulling back the silver-haired girl, Joshua rubbed her little head, and then added another sentence in the other party's puzzled little eyes: "The space-time gate that leads to a certain space-time narrow passage is now sealed by some kind of power, and it will hurt if you touch it." β
Looking at the dark blue door, the warrior now had a clear feeling that behind this sealed portal, where the family cemetery was located, there was a power calling to him, just as this body felt when he was a child, when he attended his grandfather's funeral in this chapel, such a deep impression that he could not forget for a long time, and he can still recall it clearly to this day.
It was the resonance of the blood, as if the blood in the whole body was about to boil.
But Joshua forcibly suppressed the resonance in his body, and his memories always made mistakes, and the warrior once remembered that his grandfather was buried in a cemetery around the church, but in fact it should have been behind the space-time gate.
He calmly observed the dark blue door in front of him.
"This is the Twelve Fulcrum-type space-time gates developed by the Far South Mage Association, Great Mentor Shi Wenpol, and it takes three golden mages of level forty or above to establish, but although the initial magic power costs a lot, it is better to be stable, if the location is well chosen, then it can even last for more than ten years."
With his eyes sweeping, the former legendary warrior quickly saw the ins and outs of the teleportation channel in front of him, and with the blessing of rich experience, more than twenty methods that could quickly destroy it appeared in his mind, and his hands were even ready to move: "The design looks a little outdated, but it should be regarded as the latest technology in this era, it shouldn't have been this when I was a child, when was it updated?" β
It should have been his time in the army.
Thinking of this, Joshua shook his head, and couldn't help but feel that the old earl, who had died without a sound, had left so freely. Without the words and deeds of the previous generation of family heads, even if he accepted the information contained in the altar, he still had many things that he did not understand, such as why the family cemetery was established in the narrow passage of time and space, and what was the power of the seal in the church.
The space-time narrow channel is a strange realm between worlds and worlds, they are large and small, and they are different, because most of their existence is in the narrow gap between the two worlds. If some of the space-time narrows are very stable and exist long enough, they can even give birth to earth and sky, and there will be unique life, just like a real small world.
In the previous life, in the later stage of the Continent of Discord, there were many high-level bosses and forces with their own narrow passages of time and space, and many dungeons and battles were carried out in them, the most famous of which was the [Ancient Sacrifice Ground Connecting Ten Thousand Worlds] with the entrance in the astral void, this passage between multiple worlds has even been vast and stable enough to be called a new world.
At that time, in order to block the retreat of monsters or disrupt the possibility of enemy raids, almost everyone had to learn how to quickly destroy various space-time gates and teleportation omens, which is why Joshua was so familiar with all kinds of teleportation channels, and had the occupational disease of wanting to destroy them when he saw the dark blue door.
Interrupting the transmission is everyone's responsibility.
None of this was important, though, and with the information granted by the altar in his head, the warrior immediately knew how to pass through this space-time gate.
"As long as you sacrifice the blood of the Radcliffe family on the altar, or a part of the Divine Psychic body, you can pass through smoothly...... Simple. β
Joshua simply bit a small wound on his finger with his teeth, and black-red blood dripped in the center of the stone altar, and then quickly penetrated into it, with his current physical strength, except for his own teeth, the knife and other utensils he carried with him could no longer cut through his superficial skin.
A few seconds later, with the fluctuation of magic power, the seal hidden in the space-time portal was lifted, and after the faint blue light, the originally vague earth and sky suddenly became clear, and the ethereal sense of distance disappeared completely.
Joshua didn't hesitate and immediately stepped through the space-time gate, followed by Hotaru.
As he passed through the dark blue door, Joshua felt a whirlwind of dizziness, but he was used to teleportation in his previous life, and he quickly regained his balance, and even had the strength to reach out and hug Hotaru, who was almost kneeling on the ground.
Standing on the black earth, letting go of the silver-haired girl who had regained her balance, breathing in a completely different air from the original world, Joshua looked around the narrow world behind this teleportation channel, its diameter was about 1,200 meters, and she could clearly see the chaotic light film on its edge, which seemed to contain everything, but the blurred luster of no color circulated on it.
"Father, and Fan should be here."
Softly, Joshua recalled that cloudy day two months ago, when the snow had just fallen, and the wind blowing from the eternal ice in the dazed sea of the far north was not so cold, and the white-haired old man smiled goodbye to him before the main city of Moldavia, and then left into the distance, disappearing on the other side of the horizon.
Now, is he here?
There were all kinds of gray stone tombstones in front of him, about forty or fifty, which was more than the number of previous family heads, and Joshua slowly walked closer to his nearest grave, wanting to see the inscriptions on it.
A broken spear was placed in front of the square stele, and on the smooth surface of the stele, a row of brief words was carved, but it seemed to have become blurred because of its age, and in order to see what was written on it, Joshua walked slowly and touched it with his handβa cold touch came, but it also brushed away the dust that had settled on it.
- Himus Radcliffe - 541~574
--541~574
[The knight's life rushes by, and he gives a cold glance at death. γ
After a moment of silence, the warrior turned his head and looked at several other adjacent graves.
The scimitar of the Shattered Blade was stuck in the dirt, and the handle was covered with black blood scabs that had solidified for an unknown amount of time.
- Altman Radcliffe - 692~743
--Shenji-A-692~743
[Before dawn, thirteen Kuroshio, twelve victories.] γ
A tower shield with a large split in the center leaned against the tomb.
- Ivan Radcliffe-479~517
--Shenji An-479~517
[Death is not meaningless, at least it brings the dawn of success. γ
Walking in front of many stone monuments, some have inscriptions, some do not, and some even engrave the master's life, dense and impossible to see, but no matter whose tombstone it is, Joshua has a heartfelt respect for these ancestors in his heart.
From the age of birth and death, and the inscriptions on the inscriptions, it can be known that all the people buried here died in battle, and none of them died well, on average, about 40 years for a generation to go back and forth, and some even died at the same time.
Hundreds of years ago, in order to guard the passage of time and space, the ancestors of the Radcliffe family came to this cold ice field to open up the frontier of civilization. They built cities, built fortresses, separated the mountains from Hesse with gray-and-white fortresses, and blocked the tide of beasts from invading the human world with their flesh and blood.
Under their leadership, countless enthusiastic warriors guarded this frontier far from civilization, either for glory or duty, some of them returned to their hometowns with full honor, but more of them left a dry and cold corpse to be buried by their families and comrades.
Sacrifice is always respectable.
"Master, come and see ......"
Joshua heard a voice not far away, and his divine machine was a little dazed.
He turned to look and saw the silver-haired girl standing in front of an obelisk, carved out of solid rock, blinking green eyes and staring at it with bewildered eyes.
Sensing the warrior who was walking quickly, the Miss Shenji opened her mouth slightly, but she didn't know where to start, she just pointed to a huge giant sword like a door panel inserted upside down next to the tombstone, and then said softly: "This, is it Fan?" β
Walking to Hotaru's side, Joshua exhaled deeply when he saw the black gold-patterned giant sword for the first time, he frowned, and then showed a wry smile that he couldn't tell what his feelings were.
ββ¦β¦ Ah, yes, yes. β
Sure enough, it was here.
The black gold-veined giant sword was quietly inserted in the black soil, and there were some traces of fragmentation on the cold steel blade, as a former legendary warrior, Joshua could see that the core of the sword supporting this sword had been completely shattered, not to mention using it, as long as he swung it again, he might be completely shattered.
Not daring to touch it, Joshua looked up at the tombstone next to him, on which a familiar name was inscribed.
- Beruao Radcliffe - 785~831
This is the father's name.
The warrior finally found his father's grave.
On this solid rock tombstone, such a long epitaph is carved.
[Perhaps one day, civilization and order will be able to transform the world into a more livable state, but not today. Before that, someone had to stand up and fight, and then die. γ
The gray obelisk appears to have been carved in recent years, and unlike other old tombstones, a crumpled ball of paper is placed in front of it, seemingly wrapped in something.
Bending down and reaching out to pick up the paper ball, Joshua unfolded it and found two scribbled words written on it, and a cyan gem rolled out of it and fell into the palm of his right hand.
The warrior looked at the note first.
'My son, Joshua Radcliffe. β
I'm sure you're here...... I hope you can grasp the power of this legacy. β
"Even though you're dead, you have so much faith in me...... However, the power of inheritance? β
Puzzled to himself, Joshua looked at the gem in his right hand, and his red pupils shrank slightly: "Is this it?" β
He picked up the thumb-sized cyan gem and looked at it carefully.
This humble gem is not ornate, and it is easy to ignore it as a stone of the same color at first glance, but if you look closely, you can see that it has a turquoise blue, and the clouds swirl like a galaxy of stars.
Joshua tried to hold it.
Then, at the moment of grasping the gem, a strange sensation like electricity spread from the palm of his hand to his body, and a huge prompt box suddenly appeared in front of the warrior's retina, and bold red letters filled the entire field of vision.
A long-lost system prompt appeared in front of Joshua's eyes.
[You have obtained the Origin Artifact and Special Inaugural Item, the Azure Orb of the Seal Guardian.] γ
[You have passed the will judgment!] You've passed the Faction Verdict! You've passed the qualification! γ
γImportant!γ You've got information about your new job.
"I swear by thisβI will guard all evil creatures until eternal doom."] βγ
[You meet the requirements for employment. γ
[Do you want to change to Hero Class Chaos Warden?] γ
