Babbel province, capital, suburbs.

Because of the large amount of foreign magic brought by the rift in space, clouds, haze, and endless winds and lightning spread outward around the province of Babbel, although the inexplicable phenomenon of elemental decay has slowed down this phenomenon in other provinces, but only in the area from the capital to the port of sapphire, the momentum has not stopped, but has become more and more powerful.

The original light rain in the province of Babel has now turned into a downpour, and everything is hidden in the endless rain curtain and darkness, and ordinary people cannot do any activity in this situation, even if they stretch out their arms, they cannot see where it is.

However, on the outskirts of the ruins of the city, a golden light was shining, and that light was bright and dark, as if it was beating with the breath.

This is the core of the half-dragon's chest, the originally active half-dragon is now lying on the ground like a docile cat and dog in this dark rain, the rain around it has evaporated into mist due to high heat, and on its back, there is a human holding a book, constantly flipping through it.

Sitting on his black back, the rain sliding down from all sides of the red bucket hood, Joshua flipped through a book about the history of the elves and stone demons of this world, and beside him, there were many books that had been read or had not yet been read.

The higher-ups of the province of Babbel still attached great importance to this unimaginably powerful warrior, and Joshua simply made a request, and within half an hour, almost all the books that met the requirements and could be collected were placed by his side.

Subsequently, most of the high-level officials went to plan for disaster relief, because many of the houses hidden in their basements were collapsed by stone demons, and the elves who could not get out were now in urgent need of help, and the pouring rain flowed down the cracks in the rocks into the basement, if they were not rescued as soon as possible, all the refugees who survived within a few hours would probably have to return to the mother tree.

For this reason, Loranda volunteered to help this group of elves go to the rescue, originally the elves did not have much expectation for this blonde and blue-eyed man in civilian clothes, but the fact that the paladin could detect all the life breath within a radius of a few hundred meters in an instant still shocked them, as for the brute force that was enough to easily tear apart the broken rock and beams on the ruins, and rescue people, not many people were surprised.

After all, he was the companion of the owner of the volcanic dragon, how could he not be special at all?

Behind Joshua, Ying and Rin were talking in a whisper, the silver-haired girl's fire-like pupils flashed with misty fluorescence, and the black-haired boy's golden eyes also flashed with bright light, due to the excessive excess magic power, the two gods felt that their whole body energy began to activate, while being a little panicked, the young girl felt the improvement of their strength, and the conversation between them was to exchange feelings for each other.

But the warrior didn't care about this, he frowned, flipped through the ancient books in his hand, and Joshua threw himself into it.

"In this world, there used to be a brilliant magical civilization, and there were countless traces of mages active in the wars from the First Dynasty to the Third Dynasty, but by the Fourth Dynasty, that is, the last dynasty, the elves were only left with elite archers, even if they knew a little magic, they were inconsequential small spells."

"About 300 years ago, a meteorite fall in Tengge Bay may have been the first time that stone demons descended on this world, and the one more than 200 years ago was the first large-scale invasion."

Muttering to himself, Joshua's voice was a little puzzled, and his face looked very hesitant: "But it doesn't make sense, if the gradual reduction of the mage is the interference of the Chaos Evil God in the world, just as the Famine God did to the world of Karlis, turning everything into a desolate Jedi, then the arrival of the stone demon and the time of the elemental decay are not matched." ”

Elemental decay can be said to have been a problem since the elves had a clear recorded history, and no matter how much the signs of the appearance of stone demons and chaos can be pushed forward, they can only stop at that time period three hundred years ago.

There is only one conclusion - the thinning of the world's elements and magic has nothing to do with chaos, but for other reasons.

However, although he knew a lot about this continent known as Ilgena, Joshua still didn't know much about the huge magic circle and stone demons in the sky, and the elves' eyes had not yet looked at the heavenly dome, and they didn't know where the apocalypse array came from and what the connection was with the stone demons, which made the warriors who originally wanted to find some targeted information a little helpless.

These elves have spent three hundred years, and they still don't know about the coming of their enemies.

And just as Joshua sighed, a white holy light lit up in the distance, and it kept getting closer, and finally came to the side of the half-dragon.

"Joshua, do you have time?"

It was a calm male voice, and Lolanda's tone was slightly tired, and he raised his head and said to the warrior sitting on the back of the dragon, "Can you accompany me to the city?" ”

After thinking about it, Joshua felt that it was no problem, anyway, he couldn't get more information in the book for the time being, so it was better to go and walk around the city.

So he jumped off the dragon's back and walked with the paladin to the capital of the province of Babbel.

Nothing to say all the way.

Walking through the suburbs, on the edge of the city, the two walked silently through the ruins of the center of the capital, which was littered with broken flesh and rubble, the remains of countless elves and stone demons, and the rain washed away the blood and internal organs, making the smell strange and eerie, and tiresome.

Joshua was naturally unaffected, he had experienced countless battlefields, even the orc battles in the Northwest Plains, and the smell in the corpse heap where he woke up for the first time was much more disgusting than here, but Lolanda's face turned out to be more gloomy, and even attracted the warrior's sideways attention.

This is not the look that a paladin should have...... But as long as you know what his future holds, it is not surprising.

Noticing the warrior's gaze, Loranda's face gradually returned to normal, he sighed slightly, and then said to Joshua, his voice low: "It always frightens me to see the miserable appearance of this world being invaded by chaos. ”

Raising his eyebrows, Joshua knew that the paladin in front of him was by no means a cowardly person, and he must have a reason for saying this.

Sure enough, after a moment of silence, Lolanda stood in place, he looked around at the ruins, and spoke slowly to the warrior: "I am not afraid of death, nor am I afraid of battle, and the warriors of chaos are one of the meanings of my life, my existence is to protect mankind, this is the consciousness necessary to be a paladin, as the adopted son of the Pope." ”

"But every time I fight Chaos, I can't help but wonder what would happen if I failed?"

When he said this, Loranda's face was covered with a layer of black mist, and his voice was in a trance: "My companions will be slaughtered, and my hometown will be ravaged, just like here." ”

As he spoke, the paladin stretched out his hand and pointed to the ruins in front of him, under the power of the holy light, Joshua could faintly hear a trace of the wail of the resentful spirits, which was produced by the death of countless elves at the hands of the stone demons, but the warrior was keenly aware that most of the resentful spirits were rapidly disappearing, as if they were being called by some distant existence.

But now is not the time to focus on that.

"In the battle against Chaos, there is no room for the slightest defeat, even the slightest possibility, you can't relax!"

Now, Loranda's expression seemed to contain bitter hatred and anger, and his voice seemed to be forcibly squeezed out of his chest: "All chaos should die, not one is left, not one is left, but why? Why didn't the Godfathers completely destroy the Plaguelands? He is a legendary powerhouse, a god who walks in the world, and it is nothing to do this! ”

The Plaguelands, like the Sealed Lands of Moldavia, are all areas sealed with chaos, just like the Radcliffe family has been exterminating Aragami for many years, and those places also need a large number of people to encircle and suppress the monsters in them.

With this expression, did you lose some comrades in the battle with Chaos?

Without the other party to say it, Joshua almost guessed what had happened just by looking at the other party's expression.

A paladin dedicated to protecting humanity, after the successive deaths of his comrades, begins to doubt the meaning of his own battle, and he begins to regret, question, and resentfully all the causes of this incident - Chaos, and the strong man who did not completely eradicate it.

In other words, he didn't know why ordinary knights like Legendary Warriors were still being trained when they could destroy the Plaguelands with a single blow—even if it was to adapt to Chaos as an enemy, they shouldn't have to take such a big risk.

In this regard, Joshua thought for a while, and he said slowly: "I have a guess about your doubts, but I'm not sure. ”

"Loranda, I wonder if you've heard the legend that the world originated from the light of existence of the Primordial Fire?"

“…… I think I've heard it. ”

The paladin was stunned for a moment, he frowned, there is no creation myth among the seven gods, even the sages have never said so, Lolanda vaguely felt that he seemed to have heard of this somewhere, but he still hesitated a little: "But I don't remember very clearly." ”

But how could Joshua care about the other party's hesitation, he just recounted his own speculation, the warrior raised his eyes, glanced at the dark world in front of him, and then raised his right hand, lit up a red light, the ruins of the city that had been shrouded in darkness suddenly appeared in this light, he said calmly: "Look, the flame burns, releases the light, and the visible world is born under the light of the light - but the flowers are in full bloom, and they need to cling to the earth, and they need to float in the river. ”

"The burning of the flame naturally also needs firewood, and the operation of the world can never be an eternal and unchanging cycle, the initial fire burns chaos and creates the world, so for the world, what do you think is the best firewood?"

The answer no longer needs to be spoken, as someone who has once become the King of Soul Burning, burning chaos, and reshaping the world, Joshua naturally knows the answer to the question.

After hearing Joshua's words, Lolanda was silent for a long time, and his heart was full of turbulence.

What the warrior said, Pope Eagle also said to him, but it was only a few words, and did not explain in detail, and now, Joshua told him his guess, and under the confirmation of both sides, the paladin found that he had actually found a trace of the possible truth.

A shocking hint of truth.

"Just as people need food and fire needs firewood, if an orderly world wants to be maintained, it can only rely on the burning of chaos as the source."

He muttered softly to himself, his voice trembling slightly, and the paladin recalled the truth that the Pope calmly told him in the temple on the Seven Sacred Mountains: "The fire was poured out thousands of years ago, and without these tumors as a source of firewood, the fire on the Microf continent would have been extinguished long ago." ”

"Really? Looks like you know something too. ”

With a laugh, Joshua could see that the other party had already sensed some truth, and he had already guessed about this truth, but now the paladin's words were confirmed.

The two stood among the ruins of the city, the warrior extinguished the red ball of light in his hand, and everything returned to darkness

But suddenly, there was a soft sound in the sky.

The sound was so slight that even Lolanda didn't notice it, and the paladin was frowning and thinking, only Joshua was keenly aware of it.

The world's stranglehold on space is weakening.

But how is this possible?

Joshua turned his head and looked at the black clouds and lightning that were churning in the sky, behind them, there were ten huge points of light slowly appearing, and the white light reflected an arc of light in the warrior's eyes, and the red eyes revealed a trace of caution.

Others always think that he is a reckless man who knows nothing but fighting, but how can a reckless man be truly invincible? He has always been more sensitive to the outside world than most people.

"More stone demons are coming?"

Since he didn't sense the extreme crisis, although Joshua prepared Lolanda and himself on his side to fly to avoid it, he still had the energy to think about this question: "Or is that magic circle going to give me another light cannon?" ”

The warrior had a vague feeling that things were not so simple.

The ten points of light in the sky appeared for a while, and then gradually disappeared, and then, the magic in the space became more and more intense, and the purple magic thunder was endlessly churning among the clouds, they danced wildly, and then crashed down to the earth, emitting a continuous deafening roar, and the rain was also more and more, and it was getting bigger and bigger, and there was also a faint trace of chaotic power in it, which made people upset.

This is no ordinary rain, and if it continues, it will undoubtedly turn into a natural disaster called a flood.

In the midst of the heavy rain, Joshua stared at the sky.

What is the purpose of this chaos?

And in the suburbs, the half-dragon and the gods were happily talking to each other.

But countless huge shadows slowly emerged from the darkness.
