Nostradamus, who was greeted by revealing his identity as a mage, sat on the chair in the reception hall, and while drinking the hot tea served by the maids, he leisurely observed the surroundings, and then sighed: "I didn't expect that even if it is a spare lord's mansion, the interior decoration of the house is not bad...... This cut is just right. ”

Although the last sentence of emotion was a little inexplicable, no one felt abrupt, because not far in front of the white-haired mage was the head of the Ice Tooth Dragon, which was hanging on the wall of the hall.

At the end of last year, the ice dragon that was used for the festival is now only hanging with such a severed head, its eyes wide open, and the anger of its life has been completely preserved, if ordinary people see it, they will definitely be shocked.

In fact, most of the maids and maids serving here have been frightened by this hideous head decoration, but they have all been used to it for so long.

"Starting from the most fragile fifth bone joint, cut in two, without any condensation, very experienced, how many heads did you cut off to have such skills?"

Nodding his head in praise, the old mage turned to look at the long-haired woman beside him who was wearing a robe and sitting quietly on a chair, occasionally taking a sip of tea, and asked with a smile, "Cleel, as an earthly druid, aren't you committed to the balance of all living beings?" Don't you say anything about this? ”

"Hmmm......"

Hearing Nostradamus's words, the druid with long green hair and long pointed ears frowned slightly, and Kleel put the teacup in his hand aside, thought for a while, and then said seriously: "It's not torture, it's okay." ”

With that, she lifted the teacup again, took a sip, and then showed a faint smile.

"I really love tea."

Shaking his head, the old mage was not surprised by this answer, the elven druids in front of him were not extreme group of forest sects, but more moderate earth sects, they advocated that civilization is also part of the natural cycle, as long as it is not indiscriminate deforestation like the pathological expansion of the Black Forest, then whether it is hunting monsters or collecting wood is within the acceptable range - the bottom line is close to not hunting pregnant female beasts and replanting seedlings after logging.

Click.

There was a noise at the gate not far away.

"Ah, here comes the master."

Clapping his hands, the white-haired mage immediately stood up, and he looked at the side of the living room with a smile, where the corridor leading to the main door was: "Kleel, as a guest, it is the most basic etiquette to take the initiative to welcome the arrival of the master. ”

"False."

The elven druid glared at his old friend.

"We've known each other for almost fifty years, right? There is not so much etiquette between acquaintances. ”

While the two were talking, Joshua entered his Beppu, where he was dressed in close-fitting black-brown leather armor and carried a military ceremonial sword at his waist.

Joshua walked through the hallway to the lobby of the reception room, the smooth black pine floor and the soles of his shoes making a clear stamping sound, and there was a hint of curiosity in his eyes, as if he was wondering which mage wanted to visit him at this timeβ€”but the moment he saw the white-haired old mage coming, the warrior's eyes widened, and the curiosity in his eyes suddenly turned to surprise.

"Soul Extreme?!"

In a low voice, Joshua instinctively pressed his hand on the long sword at his waist, ready for battle: "This ****** is too strong!" ”

According to the herald, this old mage who came to visit was strong and couldn't see the depth at all, but the warrior thought that this so-called high strength would be up to the gold level at most, and it might even be just a silver high-level mage, after all, the city guards at the gate were all black iron level, whether it was silver high-level or gold, they couldn't see the powerful existence of deep diving.

In any case, the [Soul Extreme Intent] was something he had never thought of.

The Seven Gods are above, and the Extreme Meaning level mages are so rare in this world where the Great Demon Tide has not yet come! The Eastern Plains is the hometown of the industrialization of magic energy, where there are the best and most complete mage colleges and inheritances, but even so, there are no more than twenty mages at the extreme level level, and the current Northland Empire is no longer the country with legendary mages three hundred years ago, and now, in this country where even the emperor is a legendary warrior, there are only two Jiyi mages in existence!

Thinking of this, Joshua's heart stopped being surprised, he looked at it carefully, then breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed: "The chief archmage of the empire, the president of the Royal Mage Association...... Your Excellency Nostradamus, did you come to my little place without first announcing it, did you want to surprise me? ”

Obviously, there is only surprise, not joy. Sighing in his heart, the warrior looked helplessly at the Extreme Meaning Mage in front of him, recalling the information about this old man in his previous life.

Nostradamus, no surname, born in 768 in Starfall, his parents were commoners in the imperial capital, and he showed a strong talent for spellcasting and seering since he was a child, and after receiving the support of the Kaos family, he successfully became a silver-level mage at the age of twenty-three. Thirty years ago, in the year 802, the 34-year-old Nostradamus had already achieved golden glory and resolutely joined the army at the call of the Empire, joining the largest war of aggression against the orcs in three hundred years - the first all-out war in the Northwest Plains.

On the battlefield, the originally somewhat mediocre Nostradamus bloomed with incredible brilliance, and the mage regiment formed with him as the core was invincible, and even defeated three orc shaman legions of the same size in a row. After the war, he defeated twenty-seven orc golden powerhouses of the same level, which shocked the emperor at the time, and even invited him to teach his future successor, the Great Prince, who is now the emperor of the empire, His Majesty Israel.

Of course, these are not the reasons why he is remembered by Joshua, although these events are legendary, they are not worth remembering for so long, and the things that really make Joshua remember this mage will happen in the future-

In the year 835, three years later, the old mage in his previous life did not forget his original intention - he created the first formal mage academy in the imperial capital, and both commoners and nobles could enter it to learn the mysteries of magic as long as they had talent. His actions have produced countless powerful spellcasters, which will provide many aids in the future defense against the Chaos invasion.

Speaking of which, Brandon seems to be his junior...... Then the reason for his coming here seems to be obvious.

"It was my disrespect not to inform the Earl, as for the small place, it is really a joke, not to mention the long history of the Radcliffe family in the Northland, and the prestige of your Earl of Hantie has long been spread to the imperial capital - the royal horse galloped for seventeen days and nights, attacking and killing rebellion. Lead your troops to the aid of Moldova and close the gate of time and space with your own strength. These major events have long been the object of discussion at the banquet of the nobles of the imperial capital. ”

The old mage smiled and praised the warrior in front of him, and the warrior lost no time in expressing his admiration for each other, and after greeting each other for a while, the two quickly got to the point.

"The reason why I came here is precisely for the space-time gate in the Black Forest of Moldova."

Nostradamus stared at the warrior closely, his eyes full of curiosity: "As the only two Extreme Intention Mages in the Empire, it is my responsibility to seal the space-time gate, just half a month ago, I completely sealed the huge space-time narrow channel with the assistance of Verdanniqing, and thanks to the Earl, you gathered all your magic power and clicked it, so I don't need to spend more effort to clean up the remnants of chaos." ”

In fact, in addition to this, the old mage had secretly observed Joshua for at least two weeks, and apart from being shocked that the warrior had actually been promoted to the Golden High Rank, he had been searching for the aura of extreme intent. But for so long, he couldn't find a trace of extreme intent, as if the last time the warrior and Brandon fought were hallucinators.

Without evidence and clues, there is no way to deduce, and Nostradamus can only put this matter behind him first and get down to business first.

"Just call me Joshua, as for those, it's also the duty of being a lord, so I didn't think much about it." Joshua shook his head, the warrior knew that the old mage was from a civilian background, and he had not forgotten his original intention for many years, and had refused all the rewards given to him by the empire, and he was still a white body so far, but this was not a reason for the other party to use honorific titles on himself, he turned his head to look at the green-haired woman who was standing quietly behind the old mage, and said with some curiosity: "May I ask who this is?" ”

"She's my friend for many years, Cleel Windsong, a golden high-ranking forest elf druid."

As if waiting for the warrior to ask this sentence, the white-haired old mage smiled and introduced to Joshua, "I invited her here precisely to purify the chaos magic accumulated in the land of the Northland due to the space-time gate. ”

I see. Hearing this, the warrior suddenly understood.

Now, because the Far Sea Sacred Mountain is preparing for some major events, there is no remaining manpower to send out to clear the chaotic power of the Northland, and the Church of the Seven Gods is naturally the same, in this case, then the order druids who have embarked on the path of balance are indeed the best choice at present, they can also purify the power of chaos, and even, because the current situation in the Northland is that the earth is polluted, so the druids who breathe with nature may be more symptomatic.

As far as Joshua knew, the large Druid organization of later generations, the World Reshapers, was quite proficient in how to purify the polluted land and recreate the oasis on the continent of Mycrof, which was almost destroyed by the war.

"Hello, Lady Cleel, your presence is an honor to my territory."

"Hello, lord of this place."

In the face of Joshua's welcome, Cleel closed her light gray eyes and nodded slightly, showing her respect, and then, she didn't say much, but said directly: "In your house, there is chaos to reside. ”
