Unlike the treasure troves of ordinary aristocratic family heirlooms, the warehouses of the Church of the Seven are literally storehouses. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the huge square underground space, there are many steel containers densely placed, and simple black wooden shelves divide different kinds of things, like the most ordinary port warehouse.

The leading church knight activated the magic circle, and suddenly the dark warehouse lit up with patches of white pyroxene. Pyroxene is an unusually common translucent crystal on the Microf continent, it seems to be ordinary, but as long as a trace of energy is injected, it can emit an extremely bright cold light, so it is commonly used as a lighting tool by all races. Because it is really very common, even the homes of the poor will occasionally have one or two irregular pyroxenes, which are placed under the sun on weekdays to store energy, and can be used as lights in the middle of the night.

The pyroxene used by the church to build the underground fortress is naturally not an ordinary color, and the white light that illuminates the warehouse is bright and not dazzling, because there are some holy light runes flickering around, which sets off a kind of sacred taste.

Since Joshua had already said before this that he was going to Area Three, the knight who led the way did not stop, and walked all the way, and the warrior also casually glanced around.

Halfway through, the middle-aged knight suddenly spoke: "Lord Earl, although it is a bit rude, I have to admit that there are indeed some people in our church who have caused trouble for you. ”

Because he was wearing a semi-enclosed helmet, the knight's voice was muffled, and there was even a hint of echo in the closed warehouse, but Joshua could hear that the other party's tone was very sincere, and he couldn't help but turn his head and ask with some curiosity, "What's the trouble?" The hospitality of the Church of the Seven has always been admirable, and I think it's nice to be here. ”

This is true, although the clergy of the Church are occasionally a little unkind, or act strangely because of their doctrine, they can definitely be called good people, and if they are not good and upright people in the general sense, they will never be able to comprehend the power of the Light—and living with such a group of good people will not be bad.

Hearing the warrior's words, the knight of the church seemed to be very proud of his waist a little, but then he shook his head and said with some embarrassment: "Not in this regard...... Lord Earl, there are those things about rumors. ”

"Message?" Joshua raised her eyebrows, waiting for the other party to answer.

"That's right, recently, in the circles of the mid-level priests, there have been some rumors about you." The middle-aged knight paused for a moment as he said this, as if he was sorting out his words, and after a while he said in a deep voice, "Many people have begun to claim that you have come to the Holy Mountain simply to satisfy your bloodthirsty desires. ”

"Wait a minute." Joshua blinked, he frowned and said, "What did you say?" ”

"I'm sorry! However, there are indeed many people who believe it—after all, if it weren't for this reason, then no matter how big the benefits were, it would be impossible for an imperial nobleman to risk death and cross the entire continent to the Holy Mountain, the battlefield at the forefront of the dragon calamity. ”

As he said this, the knight stopped, he turned his head, and bowed deeply to Joshua: "It is our dereliction of duty to let this kind of message appear and spread, I am very sorry!" ”

"Ah...... Well. The warrior didn't know what to say, and his face was strange: "Well, although I'm a little upset, but in fact, they didn't ...... either"

And at this moment, the middle-aged knight straightened his waist suddenly, and said solemnly: "But I know that what they say is all nonsense!" ”

As he said this, the knight clenched his right fist and held it in front of his chest, as if he was genuinely angry about it, and he said in a deep and clear voice: "My lord, although you do seem to be a real evil person, in fact you get along very kindly, without the slightest aristocratic arrogance, and your gestures are in line with the way of the Holy Light. ”

Joshua: "No, please stop. ”

"There is no doubt that you are a real person who has escaped from the lowly pleasures! He is a noble man! Although he couldn't see his expression clearly because of the helmet, there was no doubt that the middle-aged knight was very excited, and he said loudly: "You must have resolutely left your hometown for the sake of the innocent people in the Far South, and came to the Holy Mountain to stop the dragon, and those who spread rumors did not understand this, and wantonly slandered you......"

Joshua didn't listen to what he said next, occasionally there were one or two words of 'believe in the Holy Light', 'model of justice', 'example of nobles and lords', he didn't hear them all, and only after the middle-aged knight calmed down a little that the warrior slowly spoke: "Put these aside...... You take me to Area Three first. ”

"Yes!"

Hearing Joshua's instructions, the knight, who had become an admirer of warriors, immediately said nothing and began to lead the way again.

- These people......

Walking on the path of the warehouse, Joshua couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Lately, he had indeed been helping the Church of the Seven to fend off the dragons, and according to his bloody fighting methods and negative charm, it was not surprising that such a message appeared, although the believers of the Holy Light would not lie, but their speculation was indeed well-founded, and Joshua did not take this kind of message to heart that would dissipate in a few days.

What really surprised the warrior was this middle-aged paladin, and it was incredible that he would have admirers for such a charm!

This is a bit presumptuous for Joshua himself. In the eyes of many knights in the church, a warrior of the Extreme Intention level who is less than thirty years old is enough to be called a genius among geniuses, even the most proud people have to admit that this strength is enough to make most people ashamed of themselves, but this kind of genius, a field nobleman of the Northern Empire, a legendary powerhouse destined for the future, is willing to leave his territory and come to the Holy Mountain to help the church and help the entire Far South region resist the dragon-

If none of this spirit is noble, then no spirit is noble, as the middle-aged knight said, this is the way of the Light.

After thinking about it, the two of them came to Area Three.

Most of the storehouses in the fortress are connected, and Area 3 is located closer to the center, where most of the alchemy and magic creations developed by the Church of the Seven Gods are placed.

The protection measures here are obviously much better than those food and ordinary weapons on the periphery, although they are still steel giant cabinets and black wood shelves, but they are engraved with dust, waterproof and elemental erosion magic arrays, only to see the runes flashing, and the outer layer of the steel cabinet has a circle of translucent energy like a crystal looming in the light of the pyroxene lamp.

The middle-aged knight, who was already in charge of the storehouse, knew everything about the contents of the warehouse, so he slowed down and then introduced the warrior to the treasures stored in each cabinet.

Located to the right of Joshua were the energy cores of twenty silver peak-level divine magic puppets. The Church of the Seven Gods' magical puppets have always been more than a step above the similar puppets in the hands of other forces, at least the Northern Empire can't mass-produce battle puppets of the same level. The cores of these puppets each cost more than 8,000 Far South gold coins, enough to buy a small estate in the suburbs.

You must know that if an ordinary silver-level warrior does not risk his life to hunt demonic beasts, then he can only earn two or three hundred gold coins by working hard in the city guard for a year, and this set of puppets is worth a total of 160,000 gold coins, which is enough to arm one or two thousand soldiers to the teeth.

However, Joshua didn't care much, not to mention that his territory already had the existence of a rune factory, with the help of Miss No. 3, sooner or later, he would be able to mass-produce magic puppets one day, and the strength of this silver peak was more embarrassing - the warrior now does not lack the backbone combat power, what he lacks is a gold-level crushing figure.

Because of the proximity to the ice field and the black forest, the four territories of the entire northern land have accumulated hundreds of silver knights after years of fighting, if you count the city guards and the militia in various villages, basically each territory has a thousand silver-level, this is still because the northern territory has a small population, insufficient resources, and many casualties under the black tide.

There is a lot of silver, but not gold. It is estimated that it will take at least seven or eight years for the group of elites in Wintercastle Academy to grow up, and at that time, all the warriors will be in full sight, not to mention the dragoon regiment, even if it is a quick success, the time for the dragon to fully mature is enough for Joshua Adam to be Grandpa.

Seeing that the warrior was not interested, the knight turned his head again and introduced Joshua to other alchemical products.

The technical reserves of the Church of the Seven Gods are not inferior to any large force, even the group of mages in the Eastern Plains who are above the top may not be able to beat it everywhere, in fact, the alchemy level of the Church is firmly among the top in the world, and they can even build underwater fortresses in the deep sea, and use divine magic to drive fortresses to explore the bottom of the sea and hunt sea monsters.

However, it is a pity that the alchemy style of the church is far from that of the eastern mages, most of their creations are giant war machines, which are extremely large and require many clergy to work together to drive, while the White Tower of Guantian does have developed and constructed war colossus, but the overall style is miniaturized and popularized.

Therefore, Joshua shook his head again and again when he introduced the knights of the church - it was not that those things were bad, but they were not suitable, whether it was the 'elemental crystal resonance core' that could activate the elements within tens of kilometers and make it easier for people to perceive magic power, or the 'elemental crystal resonance core' that could imperceptibly purify the environment within a radius of hundreds of kilometers by relying on sunlight and free energy. The Circle of Cleansing is a genuine goodie, but these creations are so large that their cores are more than ten meters high, and the church needs to send hundreds of professionals to make the parts locally, and then spend more than half a year assembling them.

The knight seemed to know that these things were unreliable, so after a brief introduction, he didn't say much, and the warrior patiently glanced around.

As luck would have it, after a few minutes, Joshua found something that interested him.

......Looking at the divine artifact made of steel and crystal in front of him, revealing a sense of science fiction, Joshua turned his head and looked at the middle-aged knight: "What are you making this thing for?" ”

"Huh this?" The church knight raised his head and looked at the huge ring that occupied a large warehouse space and was more than ten meters in diameter, and then pondered for a while: "It should be an auxiliary accessory placed on the giant steel golem, most of the magic puppets have no ability to fly, and large puppets are even more so, so some people in the church want to make some flying puppets." ”

"The result?"

"The failure is complete, and instead of loading accessories, it is better to engrave a few floating circles on the golem, and it is also more material-saving...... Of course, this floating ring actually has the ability to allow users to fly freely, but it is too big and too wasteful of materials. ”

The church knight looked at Joshua a little strangely, and he kindly reminded: "Lord Earl, you are a very strong person, you don't need this thing to fly, even if you want to have a flying car, I would recommend that you engrave the floating circle instead of use this ...... It's so powerful enough to get your house flying, and it's really overkill to make things like horse-drawn carriages fly. ”

Joshua naturally knew that what the other party said was right, this floating ring was indeed a tasteless thing to eat, and it was a pity to abandon it, ordinary carriages, and even chariot artillery could not use such a big thing, and the floating fortress or battleship itself had an inscription circle, and there was no need for external accessories.

But...... He has a flightless sea dragon at home!

Thinking of this, Joshua couldn't help but feel a sense of depression.

A domineering dragon is used as an aerial mount, but the romance of any man, he went to great lengths to make the black awakening bloodline definitely not to cultivate her into the current kind of turret - but the ghost knows that the black bloodline is a sea dragon, although it has wings, but it can't fly!

This time in the Abyss of Anos, Black is very good at defending against sea beasts and detecting ocean currents, but not being able to fly is a real hard injury, and the reason why dragons are powerful is because they can condescendingly pour dragon breath and magic, just like if it weren't for the protection of the Chaos Rune, Mandagar could have dragged Joshua to death just by flying a kite.

The black dragon's breath is terrifying, if you are not prepared, even Joshua does not want to hard-connect, the only drawback is that you can't fly.

But now, with this thing, maybe Black will be able to fly?

Thinking of this, Joshua couldn't help but make a note in his heart, and he put it on the list of candidates in his heart.

And at this moment, a violent shaking came from the feet of the warrior.

"What's going on?" The church knight on the side immediately showed a shocked expression, and he looked up at the crumbling pyroxene lamp above his head: "Earthquake? ”

"Nope." Joshua shook his head, his expression was calm, as if he had expected it: "It seems that it is the same as Pope Eagle guessed, it is in advance." ”

"What's in advance?"

"Attack." Responding lightly, Joshua turned his head and walked towards the exit of the warehouse: "The general attack of the five-colored dragon clan is about to begin. ”

With the sound of the alarm, the two walked out of the warehouse and walked quickly along the solid stone passage towards the exit of the underground fortress, many of the priests walked with them to the surface, and there were also many pure clergy who had no combat power and stayed in the fortress with a calm expression, waiting for the next instructions, which had been rehearsed dozens of times earlier.

The underground fortress has been specially reinforced with magic runes, as long as the holy mountain does not collapse, it is impossible to collapse, and even an earthquake cannot destroy the structure of the fortress.

Joshua left the underground fortress and walked out of the temple that served as the entrance.

He looked up at the sky and the sea.

Clouds gathered, winds swept away, monstrous waves followed, the sea-sky communication line was shrouded in darkness, lightning swept across the sky, and thunder roared.

Nothing came from his expectations.

Starfall 833, August 26, stormy night.

The five-colored mad dragon officially attacked the Seven Sacred Mountains.
