"A sea dragon?"

With the sound of soft footsteps, the voice of a somewhat drunken and slightly curious young man came from outside the door of the hall: "Where did you find a dragon knight?" ”

Before the words fell, the owner of the voice walked into the hall, and he complained with a slight dissatisfaction: "Obviously I can do it, why do you want to find someone else?" ”

Joshua turned his head in the direction from which the voice came, and his brow furrowed.

The owner of the voice outside the door was a young man who looked to be at least fourteen or fifteen years old, with healthy wheat-colored skin, and his upper body was dressed in black animal skin armor, and the lower half of his body was shorts specially cut to facilitate movement, revealing two long, straight legs.

It seems that because he has drunk a lot of wine, his face is a little red, and while complaining, he can faintly see a small tiger tooth. The young man noticed that everyone present was looking at him, and suddenly sobered up a little, and then, he turned his head to look at Joshua, and greeted the warrior with full vitality: "Hello, newcomer, you were also invited to help by this group of Puritans who don't drink...... Wow! ”

Since he was not mentally prepared, he met Joshua's eyes head-on, and the young man was immediately shocked by the sudden coercion for a few seconds, and after being frightened back a lot by drunkenness, he immediately took two steps back according to his physical instinct and hid outside the hall.

"Captain Robzek......"

When his heartbeat calmed down a little, the young man poked his head out from behind the door, he stared at the warrior cautiously, and said to the silver-haired knight next to him in disbelief: "You guys, this is to invite an extremely will-level dragon lord?" Long Wei is too much......"

Obviously, he mistook the aura of despair on Joshua's body for Long Wei, and with the black aura beside him, he mistook the warrior for a dragon of extreme intent that turned into a human form. ”

Everyone present laughed at the boy's reaction, all three of the church had spent some time with Joshua, accustomed to the intimidation of the warriors, and although they would still be slightly shocked when they met again, it was definitely more than just a teenager named Hill who was taken aback.

"No, as long as you're not drunk, you can tell that you're looking at real humans.

After laughing, the silver-haired paladin shook his head and said with a straight look: "Mr. Ciel, although it is a rare windless period in the Abyss of Anos, we can relax, but we still have to ensure that we are in a perfect state to deal with any crisis, we can drink wine, but we must not get drunk, if you are still so unrestrained next time, we will have to seal off the material warehouse for you." ”

While Robzek was lecturing the teenager, Joshua looked at each other with a little interest.

On both sides of the young man's delicate face, the pointed ears that showed the identity of the elves were trembling slightly, and the long black hair that reached the back was tied into a ponytail and put on the shoulders, which was also the common style of the Far South elves.

The elf is worthy of being a race of handsome men and beautiful women, and if the young man's appearance is scored, he can get eight points out of ten, which is because he is drunk at the moment and his clothes are a little untidy, but what interests the warrior is that there is a trace of dragon power on Hill that is different from the black.

"An elven ranger who works part-time as a dragon knight?"

After Robzek finished speaking, Joshua said directly: "Your mount is a thunder-attribute sea stegosaurus, a female dragon, the strength should be a golden high-level, it should also be fused with a little blood of the giant island whale, and the bottom of the ship is helping the ark to move forward, it should be your mount." ”

"Amazing...... Terrible! ”

Seeing through his heels at a glance, the elven boy couldn't help but let out a low cry, but after hearing the warrior's words, he blinked, shook his head with a smile, and said: "But one thing is wrong, I am not a ranger, I am also a dragon knight, I am a marine druid, and Funa is not my mount, but my animal companion." ”

"Druid?" This time it was Joshua's turn to be a little surprised, and the warrior stared, and once again carefully looked at Ciel from beginning to end: "This is really unexpected. ”

At this time, he found that a little magic rune could be faintly seen on the waist and abdomen and inner thighs of the elf boy, which was the totem magic pattern that the druids often had, and they could use the power of these magic tattoos to carry out wild transformations or use natural magic.

Generally speaking, though, few druids cover these patterns so tightly, and they're always eager to make everyone admire the wild tattoos on their bodies.

"It's beautiful."

At this time, Hill had already walked in front of Hei, and the elf boy touched the neck of the half-dragon without seeing it, and then said briskly in a tone that was still a little drunk: "Such smooth lines, such a beautiful body...... It may seem like you're feeling a little uncomfortable, but that's okay. ”

Before he finished speaking, an emerald green light pattern suddenly lit up in front of him, and the light pattern spun rapidly in the air, converging into a light cluster, and within the light cluster, the power of nature surged, and the fluctuations filled with life vitality continued to pour out of it.

High-level divine art, blessed by nature, Hill used this extremely practical natural divine technique on the black in one breath, so that the fresh power fluctuations poured directly into the body of the half-dragon.

Black: "Roar?!" ”

The moment the fluctuation entered his body, the half-dragon felt a lot more energetic.

The reason why the flying battleship in the sky makes the black with the blood of the ancient dragon so uncomfortable is mainly because the fire element and water element in mid-air are too rare, so that it cannot complete the life cycle, and even if there is, most of the elemental power is also preempted by the magic energy furnace.

Moreover, the teleportation of the floating battleship, for Black, is equivalent to the human being without any adaptation process, and it is directly teleported to the plateau with thin air, which will naturally be extremely uncomfortable.

If there is no Shapeless Fall, Black has been maintaining that huge size and staying in mid-air for a few more days, maybe his life will be in danger, even if he has returned to the surface now, there are still a little sequelae, which makes the half-dragon, who has always been extremely energetic in the past, a little sick, but now, after receiving the blessing of the young druid, it is instantly refreshed.

"Mr. Hill, if you're tired, go back to your room and get some rest."

Seeing that Ciel yawned after casting the spell, Sister Saya, who had been standing aside and studying the crystal shield in front of her, reminded softly: "Danger may appear in the Abyss of Anos at any time, I hope you can always ensure a good state." ”

"Okay." Nodding happily in response, Ciel did not hesitate, immediately turned around and walked towards the gate, and when he walked in front of Joshua, his steps paused slightly, and then reminded with kindness: "Unknown dragon knight, take good care of your dragon, it is now in a bottleneck period of breaking through the golden high level, like the previous state, which will greatly delay its advanced speed." ”

"Your opinion is useful." Hearing the other party's reminder, Joshua turned his head to look at Banlong, who was in a lot of energy, and nodded cautiously: "You can call me Joshua, thank you." ”

"It's nothing, after all, I'm also a dragon knight." As he walked towards the door, Ciel smiled lightly, "After all, the Golden High Rank is a dividing ridge for dragons, especially a hybrid like you and my partner. ”

"If they can cross the past, they can go further, if they can't, they can only stay in the current state, and in this way, they will be very sad."

With that, he also left the core hall, and with the sound of soft footsteps, Ciel also left the floor and returned to his room.

"No wonder you're so polite to him."

The elf boy left the hall, Joshua touched his chin, and looked thoughtfully at Hei who was shaking his tail thoughtfully: "If you talk about strength, he is not strong, he should only be silver-level, even if you count the totem magic pattern on your body, you can only protect yourself in gold-level battles, but this superb natural magic and knowledge, combined with a gold-level high-level sea dragon partner, is indeed a very powerful help." ”

"Young people? Joshua, you've been in the Northland for so long with the dwarves that you've forgotten something. ”

Hearing Joshua's words, Lolanda couldn't help laughing, he shook his head and waved the wine glass in his hand: "Hill is older than all of us, just a little younger than Captain Robzek - you know, the appearance of a pure-blood elf teenager is at least thirty or forty years old, what else can I use without Mr." Moreover, Ciel, a member of the Sea Dragon Knights of the Eastern Plains, was just dragged by the church this time to come thousands of miles to explore the waters of the Abyss of Anos for us, so he must be polite. ”

"Although his strength is a little poor, he is really a first-class expert in exploring the sea, and the ocean druid can foresee storms and currents, and this windless period is also planned by Hill."

Robzek also nodded in agreement: "His sea dragon companion can scare away a lot of sea beasts, so we can save a lot of time, after all, our purpose is the central maelstrom, not to hunt these terrifying creatures infected by chaos." ”

"Who else did you invite this time?"

According to Pope Eagle, they explored the Abyss of Anos a total of four times before inviting them to sail with them, and naturally, these four times failed without exception, and this stimulated the Church of the Seven Gods to find other powerhouses in the continent and come to explore this chaotic sea together.

"Not much, counting you and Ciel, there are only three of them in total."

Robzek seemed to have guessed that the warrior would ask this question, and after he looked at Lolanda and Saya, he immediately replied solemnly: "Later, when I have time, I will introduce you to another person, but now, we happen to have something to ask you." ”

-- The top floor of the Ark.

The Ark Time is completely different from the usual ship, its shape is the same as the name, it is square, similar to the shape of two trapezoids merging, this kind of ship will undoubtedly be greatly affected when sailing, but the powerful magic allows it to overcome the negative factors.

The powerful Divine Technique of Imprisonment covers the entire hull of the ship, allowing it to almost completely ignore the waves of the Black Sea that are nearly ten meters high, and the sacred runes containing infinite mysteries can even convert the impact of the sea water into the power of its own actions, making itself faster and faster.

However, such a powerful ability naturally has a very high price, the energy consumption of the Time is several times that of ordinary magic ships, even if the Church of the Seven Gods has its own set of special magic energy furnace technology that can reduce consumption, it is impossible to ignore this level of energy consumption, so in order to unwind the energy as much as possible, it is used in key places, and the church needs to find another energy source to replace the magic energy furnace for normal use.

The huge Divine Magic Array with a diameter of twenty meters shone with divine light, just like in the core hall, golden and white crystals were placed on the nodes of the magic circle, flickering with the flow of the power of holy light, and in the center of this divine magic array, a half-human-sized round gem was suspended in mid-air, slowly rotating, releasing fiery positive energy like the sun.

Although it was daytime, the Abyss of Anos was still covered in haze, and the surroundings were as dark as night, but the light from this gem illuminated the sea within a radius of thousands of meters, making it impossible for all evil beings to hide.

"Molten Star, you actually borrowed this thing!"

Following the footsteps of the three members of the church to the top of the ark, Joshua couldn't help but sigh for the determination of the church after seeing the familiar gem in front of him.

You must know that this Fusion Core Star is a treasure used by the royal family of the Northern Empire to decorate the Hall of Divine Radiance, and it is also a symbol of the Empire's victory over the orcs and becoming the overlord of the northern part of the continent.

Because there was no crisis, not even rain and big waves, the speed of the magic circle was not fast, and the layers of runes like gears slowly rotated and turned, guiding the endless positive energy in the Fusion Core Star to spread around the ark, dispelling a faint trace of chaotic power.

"Last time we explored, we had reached the deepest part of the Abyss of Anos, approaching the central maelstrom."

Taking a step forward, Robzek looked at the magic circle in front of him and said to Joshua in a heavy tone: "But in the end, we fell short, and the too strong power of the abyss caused the dark fog to lose its way...... As resources ran out, we had to flee in disarray and re-prepare for our next exploration. ”

On the side, the Grand Nun also echoed softly: "The Molten Core Star is already one of the most powerful positive energy treasures on the Mycrof continent, but even it can't shelter the Ark from moving forward in that fog - it's not that its strength is not strong enough, but it also has to fight against huge waves and torrential rains, so after thinking about it for a while, the church followed Loranda's advice and invited you to come." ”

The last time Joshua was in the imperial capital, he helped the church and the Royal Mage Guild expel the Divine Haze of Doom, and for Robzek and Saya who didn't know about it, the Divine Haze and the black mist in the depths of the Abyss of Anos were similar things.

"So, you invited me here so that I could be a torch and light up the darkness?" Hearing this, Joshua understood, he shrugged his shoulders and made a joke: "Human light bulb - you plan to let me use the power of order in the Azure Orb to break through the abyss fog?" Indeed, the forces of order are better at banishing the forces of the abyss than the positive energy of the Molten Star. ”

"Of course, it's more than that."

At this time, Loranda's voice sounded, as a person who has lived with warriors for a long time, the paladin certainly knows what Joshua wants: "Don't worry, my friend, there are many eroded sea beasts in the Abyss of Anos. ”

Before he could finish speaking, he closed his mouth, and the warrior, of course, understood what the other man meant, and smiled knowingly.

"Anyway, Lord Earl, please see if you can control this circle first."

On the side, Saya stretched out her slender palm and released a circle of holy light fluctuations, she was modifying some of the structures in the magic circle out of thin air, and after a few seconds, the runes that were originally like a circle of gears separated the entire magic array into a channel.

"How?"

Walking forward without hesitation, Joshua stepped into the formation and the like, and he immediately felt as if he was in the warm sunlight: "Although I know a little magic, I only know how to destroy it. ”

This is the truth, a warrior swept over this magic circle, and immediately noticed seventeen flaws in its operating state, if he was given a little more time, maybe he could find more.

"It's simple, Lord Count."

The Grand Nun's soft voice came from outside the circle: "Just stand in the core of the circle." ”

This is indeed very simple, the array platform is actually not big, and after a second, Joshua is standing in the center of the circle, directly below the Fusion Core Star.

Suddenly, he frowned.

"This power...... Something isn't right. ”

The moment he stepped into the center of the circle, Joshua felt that he had established some kind of wonderful connection with the fragment of the sun above his head, and the majestic positive energy was manipulated by the divine magic, echoing his thoughts at any time.

But that wasn't what made him feel wrong, the warrior muttered for a moment, then closed his mouth and stopped talking, feeling the power of the circle that made him wonder.

The more he explored, the more serious Joshua's face became, and as if under his influence, the entire top floor of the ark suddenly fell silent, leaving only the sea breeze blowing slowly and the noise of the magic circle running.

"Maybe His Holiness didn't tell you in detail about our purpose because of the urgency of time."

After nearly ten minutes, Robzek spoke, breaking the silence, and the hearty man with silver hair and a simple personality, who could be called a model of a traditional paladin, explained to the warrior in a tone of reverence that he had never seen before: "Maybe it's because I'm worried that you don't believe it, so I want you to come to the Abyss of Anos and witness it all with your own eyesβ€”"

"No, no explanation."

Joshua felt the familiar and unfamiliar divine power inside this magic circle, and couldn't help but slowly grin: "I already know what you are going to do. ”

"I'll just say that it is impossible to go to such great lengths to invite powerful people from all walks of life to come to help, and even at a great cost, to borrow the Fusion Core Star from the Imperial Family, just to explore a mere Abyss of Arnos."

"Not to guard against the attack of the five-colored dragons, not to cut off the tentacles of the abyss from our world, Eagle is worthy of being the pope who has been claimed to be the closest to the gods in all generations, and what he asks for is really extraordinary."

On Joshua's chest, except for the phantom of a cyan orb, endless order power churned and surging in it, and the warrior turned his head to look at the three members of the church who were also smiling, and laughed: "The Church of the Seven Gods is really ambitious, you didn't take the dragon disaster in your eyes at all, but planned to use the crack in the Abyss of Anos as a springboard to counterattack the abyss!" ”
