Chapter 23 Ambition and Revolution 5000

The Spring Celebration has arrived.

St. Clare's Cathedral in the imperial capital, the old archbishop rang the ancient 'Star and Moon Bell', the melodious and crisp sound rose from this, the melodious ringing echoed throughout the imperial capital, the civilian area, the aristocratic district, the commercial district, the royal square, and all the bell towers in the Sanshan Holy City began to ring one after another, so that the sound that went straight to the heart gradually spread, until it was impossible to see into the distance.

It is a traditional custom of the Northern Empire and even the entire Mycrof continent to ring the season bell and welcome the arrival of the new season - because in those days, only the rulers and clergy of various places had knowledge, and in order to let ordinary people know what season it is and what they should do, they will ring the bell on the day of the beginning of the corresponding season, hold a celebration, worship the gods, and spread the corresponding knowledge.

The sound of the bell is different, the sound of each bell has been blessed by the seven gods, containing solemn and sacred power, when the bell that means three long and one short bell of spring, the fresh and full of vitality power spreads along the ripples of sound waves, blessing everyone present.

The bell, the first melodious bell rang, the power from the gods blessed all beings, originally this matter would usher in bursts of cheers and prayers, and the emperor would also walk out of the main hall in this cheer, ascend the high platform, and sacrifice to the earth under him as the lord of a country, ending this short but sacred ceremony, but now, the people who should have been excited and chanting all remained silent, and millions of people in the imperial capital raised their heads and looked at the sky of the three mountains with shocked and puzzled eyes.

- What's that? Everyone thought in confusion.

At this time, a blue crack of hundreds of meters in size appeared in the sky above the imperial capital, it was still gradually expanding, and it had already turned into a behemoth across the Holy City of the Three Mountains between breaths, accompanied by clearly visible ripples of time and space, the chaotic chaotic veins in the void began to appear, and many people subconsciously closed their eyes when they saw the scenery in the void, and bowed their heads in pain, this is because their brains cannot accept this strange scenery that is completely different from three-dimensional time and space.

Morlay Palace, all the nobles, professionals and royals in the main hall left the palace, they stood in the open space outside the hall, most of them looked up at the diamond-shaped space-time rift in the air like an eye slowly opening, and their pupils couldn't help but shrink.

"That's-" An old mage dressed in mage robes and with the high-ranking coat of arms of the Royal Mage Guild on his chest exclaimed, "It's the president's magic fluctuations!" ”

"It's Master Nostradamus!"

And with the exclamation of the old man, the bell tower in the city also began to play in an ensemble - bell, the second long bell rang, the space-time rift high above the imperial capital stopped spreading, and a circle of complicated runes began to appear around the huge space-time rift, they expanded rapidly, forming a magnificent and complex magic pattern, hundreds of meters, thousands of meters long, lines containing huge power across the void, forming a conspicuous three-dimensional - or even more than a magic circle above the imperial capital, and with the formation of the magic circle, The chaotic void scenery in the original space-time rift was suddenly clear.

It was as if the boiling oil pot had cooled, the churning void had become calm under the soothing of a force, the dizzying chaos had become clear little by little, the bell, the third melodious bell rang, and in the sight of all those who were still looking up, on the other side of the void, a huge, fortress-like existence began to emerge.

It was a huge fortress composed entirely of a glowing silver metallic cold light, it was an extremely regular icosahedron, each side was engraved with the highest level, even through time and space observation circle, it stood in the void beyond the world, lonely observing the chaotic scene in the multiverse, countless chaotic space-time turbulence wanted to get close to it, but dissipated like a phantom under the influence of magic.

"Void Stargazing Station!"

At this time, all the nobles or professionals with some insight couldn't help but exclaim, causing a riot, they knew what this steel fortress on the other side of time and space was, it was a great building that was completed three hundred years ago after the era of the four first emperors, which meant that the farthest fortress in the empire's territory could directly observe the void and recognize the wonders of the multiverse [Void Stargazing Station]!

When the mages realized that the stars above their heads were not stars, but worlds, they could no longer suppress their desire to know the multiverse, and this desire turned into a flame, burning the hearts of all the aspiring future spellcasters from other human settlements in the empire, so after hundreds of years of hard construction and struggle, the four man-made structures rooted in the void of [Sentinel Array], [Sage's Eye], [Stargazing Place] and [Star Horizon] stood in the chaotic time and space. Unlike the half-planes, these buildings face the chaotic flow of time and space, and can obtain first-hand information in the true sense, and are the outposts of the civilization of the Microf Continent to observe the multiverse.

And now, this means that the wonder of the supreme masterpiece of civilization also stands tall in the void turbulence, and the buildings side by side with the kingdom of the gods appear so clearly in front of the masses in the imperial capital, looking at everyone through the distant and stable void.

"Look! What is that! ”

In the shocked silence, the silence was suddenly broken by a young mage in the middle of the block, who also had the coat of arms of the Royal Mage Guild, but only an assistant, but this young man was the first to notice that something was wrong in the stable flow of space, and he raised his hands in an almost roaring voice and shouted, "There! There! ”

Not only him, but also many strong people noticed the difference in that space-time stream, but they did not make a sound, but suppressed the vibration in their hearts and watched calmly.

And what they saw was a figure.

A figure walks between the Void Stargazing Station and the space-time rift above the Imperial Capital, heading to the world of Mycrof. He walked slowly, obviously in the void, but as if he was stepping on the solid earth, this blurred, completely unclear face of the figure every step, made the void still, chaotic time and space stabilized, this power even transmitted to the world of Microf, so that the wind above the imperial capital also froze.

Because the space is like ice condensation, everything falls into silence and silence, and the bright sunlight distorts, prostrate under this figure.

Bell ————————

The fourth short bell reverberated between the imperial capitals, it was supposed to terminate quickly, but it became slow and long under an inexplicable force, as if time was stretched and space was expanded, and the short and fast were reversed at this time, becoming slow and long.

Joshua stared into the void, his gaze swept across the world, and then focused on the indistinct figure, unlike the surprised Three, the curious Hotaru, and the stunned Brandon, Verdani, and the bewildered nobles and professionals who seemed to know something.

The power of time and space flowed through his body, the light twisted and deviated around him, and the concept called 'mundane' was rapidly moving away from the old body that was rapidly sublimating and transforming, and a great and overwhelming force began to reshape a body called 'legend'.

"Nostradamus."

The warrior whispered, his eyes could cut through all the fog, Joshua looked at the old man on the other side of the void, at this time, all kinds of visions in the imperial capital were frequent, all the portals were closed at the same time, the magic element seemed to be afraid of a great being who was approaching, and froze in place, the stone slowly hung in the air, and then flew strangely in midair, he realized this power that was completely different from him, but equally powerful and full of mysteries, and then smiled.

"Congratulations."

And the vague human form has reached the edge of the rift in space-time.

"Click-"

The slight sound of footsteps came, making everyone's hearts throb, and the vague humanoid stepped within the range of the McCroft world, and when he landed, a circle of extremely obvious blue ** power ripples began to ripple in mid-air like water ripples, spreading out in all directions.

At this moment, it was extremely blurry, as if the human form, which was completely composed of layers of distorted space-time fluctuations, also regained its human form.

This is an old mage wearing a white mage robe, he is tall, as if the eyes of the star version are filled with powerful magical brilliance, because of his presence, all the free elements in the entire imperial capital region fell silent, as if prostrate to show submission, and mages below the extreme level even realized in horror that they had lost control of the surrounding elements

Four bells rang, spring had come, and everyone saw the face of the old man who had crossed the void, huge, as if the space-time crack that could swallow a city slowly closed behind him, the huge steel fortress, the void stargazing place was gradually obscured by the chaotic space-time turbulence, and the crowd on the ground fell into a panic because of the instinctive panic of the flesh, but then they were calmed by a gentle mental fluctuation and returned to calm.

"Biography...... Legend...... Master Nostradamus ......"

Joshua could hear that a great nobleman beside him said these two simple but extraordinary characters in a trembling and awe-inspiring voice, this great nobleman who operated the magic energy spar vein and was ranked as a real power earl should have been well-informed and not surprised by everything, but at this time he couldn't help but bow his head respectfully to show respect.

Unlike Joshua on his side, first of all, the warrior did not advance in front of their eyes, and he himself blocked his sense of existence, and his appearance was too young, and his reputation had not spread for decades, so the nobles would fear and even please him, but it was difficult to emit true awe from the depths of their hearts.

But the old man in front of him was different.

Master Nostradamus stood calmly in mid-air, his once decrepit body had been reshaped under the fluctuations of time and space, constituting his current transcendent body composed entirely of magic and space fluctuations, this body he had been conceiving for decades, but he had been unable to achieve it because of the insufficient concentration of magic between the world and the void and various constraints, but now because of the great demon tide, because the troubles of his students were lifted, because his future ideal experiment had been preliminarily achieved in the Northland, Therefore, the old man, who has swept away all future troubles, walked towards this road of grasping his own 'destiny' without hesitation.

At the same time, Joshua did not continue to look at Nostradamus, who was in mid-air, taking advantage of the power of the new legend to hold the spring celebration on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor, but turned his head without surprise and looked at the tall figure who was walking slowly behind him.

I don't know when it appeared. The dark-blond-haired ruler of the empire nodded slightly, motioning for the warrior to follow him.

Joshua shrugged his shoulders, he gently placed No. 3 on his shoulder on the ground, but still brought a slightly dull voice, he resisted Hotaru and the artificial intelligence girl not to run around, and then left side by side with His Majesty the Emperor, who had already turned his head and left, in the farewell of the girls who were still immersed in the newborn vision of a legendary mage.

Among the people present, Empress Edna, the only one who noticed this scene, bit her lip slightly, she frowned, but she noticed that the second prince Dimore, who was not far away, seemed to be aware of it, and suddenly became more vigilant against him in her heart.

And in a deserted garden lane of the Morlay Palace, two legendary warriors were talking loudly.

"Teacher, he needs prestige." Walking on the gray path paved with solid stone slabs, Israel raised his head and looked at the sky of the imperial capital, which had been magnificent before, but at this time it was extremely calm, and his voice carried a hint of emotion: "Forty years ago, or even earlier, the teacher did many, many things for the entire empire and for me, and his credit is unparalleled, and I don't even know how to repay him. ”

Joshua walked side by side with the Emperor, listening to someone's student, the ruler of the land, speak of the past in a nostalgic tone.

"Meritorious and high-spirited? Rewarded? Nostradamus has always been told that Nostradamus has reached a peak of his exploits, he has sabotaged three plans of the Orc Shaman Legion, almost single-handedly blocked several stealthy enemy attacks, he has helped me, the Emperor, to defeat other princes to claim the supremacy of the Empire, and he has also trained hundreds of noble and commoner mages. ”

"He presided over the construction of a teleportation network connecting all the lands of the empire, which made many nobles with bad intentions unwilling to calm their thoughts, and he presided over the construction of the latest generation of wide-area space-time anchoring circles in the imperial capital, and left a back door for himself."

When he said this, Israel's tone carried a hint of mockery: "At that time, there were many people who offered advice, saying that Nostradamus had bad intentions and tried to subvert the imperial family - it is not surprising that they thought so, after all, the teacher has the possibility of advancing to the legend at any time, if he really unleashes all his influence, then not to mention subverting the empire, it is a sure thing to hurt the vitality of the royal family, so they want me to kill the teacher, after all, he is useless, Even if the teacher stopped doing anything after he wanted to do it, and rested and played chess with me, they said that he was trying to lurk in the shadows and plot a conspiracy. ”

The ruler of the empire stopped, and the warrior noticed that the two had come to a palace, and Israel scanned the quaint and mottled stone walls on the outer layer of the palace, and showed a nostalgic smile: "This is the palace where I used to live when I was a prince, and it is here that the teacher explained to me the way of transcendence. ”

"Joshua."

He turned his head and looked at the warrior, his eyes flashed with an inexplicable light, and the emperor said: "I am always told that the way of the emperor is lonely, and I must make many sacrifices for the power in my hands and the throne under me, and from now on there can be no affection, friendship, love and respect, all of them will serve my interests, and I cannot trust anyone, I must regard everyone as subordinates and tools, so that I can rule a great empire and let my rights continue." ”

"But I'm going to say: Fuck it."

Israel Delmond, the current emperor of the Northern Empire, the hero of the generation who defeated the orcs, said this, his face was calm: "I am a legend, who I trust is my business, and it is up to me to decide how to be the emperor." ”

"My rights come from my power, and it has nothing to do with that bullshit statement - rights, it's just a derivation of my fist power."

This voice is so loud that perhaps in the life of His Majesty the Emperor, there is no more true sentence than this sentence.

And the corners of Joshua's mouth curled slightly, he narrowed his eyes, and said softly: "It's really a willful statement." ”

"And rightfully so."

And Israel snorted coldly, as if the warrior had said some nonsense, he looked up at the sky again, his gaze could indeed penetrate the clouds and the sky, and look at the stars in the sky: "Radcliffe, after seeing the memories of the gods of the Shining Age, I understand many things, such as the power between the human world is so boring and boring, and the stars outside the sky are so vast and vast, I want to change this world, promote the revolution that the teacher wants to promote, so that everyone, rich and poor, has the possibility of reaching the extraordinary. ”

"Even if that would shake your position as emperor?"

The warrior asked.

"Boring rhetorical question." Israel shook his head, and he simply asked directly, "I am willing to trust you, Radcliffe, and are you willing to help me?" ”

The Emperor held out his hand.

Joshua stared at him, at the man whose fate had been changed by him, at the man who was ready to change the fate of the world, at the man who was ambitious and intended to create a great revolution outside of his destiny.

The warrior grinned and smiled happily.

He took his hand.

"Absolutely glad."
