Although the Azure Orb has become unknown in the Mycroft Continent, after Joshua obtained it, in order to learn more about the origin of this strange object, he rummaged through all the ancient books he could find, and recovered from some nearly lost objects. Some clues were obtained from the legend.
By completing these clues through the system, Joshua finally learned a lot about ancient myths in ancient books that had been almost completely forgotten by people.
—For example, the era before the Starfall Era.
Before the Starfall Era, there were two eras, one was the [Lost for 300 Years] where no classics had been circulated, and the other was the legendary and glorious [Glory Era] before the loss.
The three hundred years of loss were between the Glory and the Starfall, and the Glory Era was the legendary peak moment of mankind. At that time, the black forest on the earth was not so rampant. It was just a characteristic natural phenomenon in the far south. Under the leadership of the [Sage] and his [Thirteen Saints], magic technology spread throughout the world. Everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, and everyone has room to pursue their dreams.
According to legend, humans at that time could travel among the stars like the Kallis, travel through the void and the world with the help of magic, and explore the endless multiverse. This prosperous atmosphere was created by the sages [Saint After [Light] and [Rune], it reached its peak.
The Holy Light did not actually exist in this world before it was lost three hundred years ago. It is an inheritance created by the sages and is the most powerful manifestation of the power of order. The sages informed the entire world of the method of cultivating the Holy Light and promised [ As long as your heart is toward the light and hates evil, you can have the power of the Holy Light].
As the sages said, there is no threshold for the Holy Light. It is different from the fighting spirit that requires blood and talent, and is different from the magic that requires soul resonance frequency and sensitive thinking. If you want to get the power of the Holy Light, you only need to be firm. With a firm heart towards goodness and order, you can have the power to resist chaos and evil. This achievement has subverted everyone's imagination and even brought the power of the [Sage] to a new peak. The world is changing between him and his disciples. Under his leadership, he moved towards the glory called [Glory].
But the good times do not last long, just as the sun will set after it rises, and the flame will be extinguished when it burns. The era of prosperity has passed, and then decline will follow.
The reason for the decline is not recorded even in ancient books, but according to Joshua's speculation, it is probably related to the abyss, because it was only then that the information about the abyss began to increase. It can be inferred that those who came from the eternal catastrophe and sinking The demons of the Abyss attacked the world and were defeated by humans led by sages, but they also caused deep trauma to the world of Mycroft. The Azure Orb was a rare item obtained by the Saint when he counterattacked the Abyss. He gave it to his third Saint and left the inheritance of the Chaos Watcher to this day.
In his previous life, Joshua's advanced [Heroic Profession: Rune Swordsman] had something to do with that era. He had also vaguely heard rumors about some saints. In this life, he advanced to the direct lineage of the saints [Chaos Warden]. The reporter], even holding the azure orb. He said that he felt an aura similar to the orb, so there must be nothing wrong.
At the bottom of the central vertical pit, the surging magic power flowed endlessly, and even condensed into an almost substantial barrier and misty mist. Perhaps Joshua and the others were lucky and happened to catch up with the period when the magic power rose and fell. The barrier and fog had dissipated, allowing them to clearly see the scene at the bottom.
"Go down."
Without any hesitation, Joshua said simply. He had already started to move his hands and feet, and seemed a little eager to try: "I'm already here, I definitely want to take a look."
Others thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed the case. They had walked for so long and reached the deepest part of the pyramid. Now they saw the obviously very important central area. It would be really stupid not to explore it.
Even though the magic lightning looks scary, in the final analysis it is not too strong. They are all golden warriors, so how could they be afraid of this level of danger.
So everyone followed Joshua down.
Controlling the fighting spirit and transforming into a red stream of light, Joshua led Rin and jumped down from the high platform without haste. He was about 1,500 meters away from the ground at the bottom. It can also be seen from this aspect , this huge mobile fortress is so huge.
Everyone descended slowly. The lower they descended, the better their physical condition became. The magic around them became stronger and stronger, and Rin's face became more and more beautiful. Shenji's spiritual body in human form can easily absorb these free energies. regain strength.
"The temperature is rising."
Keenly aware of this, Joshua found that the temperature around his body was getting warmer and warmer.
You know, in the desolate world outside the pyramid, the temperature in the sky and the earth has long dropped to a terrifying level that is enough to freeze ice out of thin air and frost on the white ground. However, after entering the pyramid, the temperature becomes more and more suitable and comfortable. , before, the temperature in the halls they passed through was barely above zero, but below this vertical pit, it was a full 24 degrees, a temperature very suitable for human life.
"The power of order has become much stronger, and the aura similar to the Azure Orb is getting closer and closer."
Joshua's eyes narrowed slightly. He observed the steel city getting closer and closer beneath him. He looked at the system from the corner of his eye, which showed that a new state had appeared on his body.
[Protection of order: As a life of order, you are protected by an inexplicable power, with all attributes x1.2.
You have the characteristic of unburned fire, you have the order-side hero profession Chaos Watcher, and you are in an environment with a high concentration of order power.
You meet the linkage status conditions.
Purifying Blazing Light: Blessed by holy power, your damage to enemies on the Chaos side is X1.3
—The power of the blazing sky, the order of the ring]
The Kallis people encountered the invasion of the Void Evil God. In order to resist chaos, it was very normal for them to pursue the power of order. Especially, they originally worshiped the sun. As the source of all power in nature, the worship of the sun has always been closely related to order.
This is indeed a very logical thing, but Joshua never expected that the power of order held by the Kallis people was actually related to the Azure Orb—or even the sages! The [Glory Sage] who only appears in the classics, has no name, no image, even the legendary deeds are vague, and no one can confirm the inheritance, and even the Holy Light cannot prove its existence.
"Huhuhu—"
Along with the surging wind, the red light slowly descended in the vertical pit, and finally landed in the city made of steel. Immediately afterwards, Moria and the elf also fell down together, standing beside Joshua.
"Unexpectedly, these are actually runic devices that control the flow of magic power. They are not houses, nor are they even half a person or a living thing."
Standing in the middle of the steel street, Joshua carefully studied the surrounding situation. He quickly saw the essence of these seemingly majestic high-rise buildings. These buildings were covered with complex arrays of runes, and countless magic powers obeyed the control of the runes. The turbulent flow surged towards other parts of the fortress.
The soldier was a little confused: "There is no house. If that's the case, then where is the divine machine you mentioned, Rin, and the natural cycle that Ms. Claire mentioned?"
"It's still further down... It should be right below here."
Rin's voice was a little hesitant. Because the magic flow around him was too huge, he was a little afraid to confirm now: "This pyramid is too big. We have walked for so long, and we should only be in the lower middle area of it, and I The aura of the divine machine I noticed was very huge... No, is it actually a divine machine?"
By the end of the sentence, the young man had closed his eyes in confusion and sensed it again.
"me too."
Claire, who was standing next to Moria, also nodded, and then she wondered: "Down below... How should we go in and find a downward passage?"
"Or are we just like you opening the door and we create a passage to go down?"
When speaking of this, Claire made a rare joke.
"No need."
And just when Joshua and others were thinking about their next move, a voice with a slight electronic vibrato came from above everyone's heads. "I'll just take you there."
"who?"
Joshua was shocked that someone could bypass his perception and come to their side silently.
Of course, what surprised the soldier even more was that other people's voices actually appeared in this steel city where he had confirmed that there was no one there.
Moria and Claire were also on guard, but looking at their faces, they seemed to not understand the meaning of this sentence at all. After noticing this, Joshua discovered that the systematic translation Not just the words, but also the spoken sounds are translated.
And just when everyone was alerted by the sound, a translucent shadow with a bit of blue light slowly appeared in front of everyone.
This shadow was really just a shadow at first, some kind of strange power flowing between the shadows, but as the power gathered, it gradually formed a translucent figure that exuded a faint blue light.
It was a female Kallisian. Her figure was a little blurry at first, but with the continuous filling of energy, it gradually became more refined. A pair of black wings stretched out from her waist, trembling slightly, and she was wearing Wearing a white lab coat, her hair looked pale blue. Although the wind around her was strong, it did not flutter at all.
She is a magical projection.
"Visitor from another world with the sage's belongings, I have been waiting for you for a long time." The female Kallisian projection spoke in a tone as smooth as a machine, and her eyes were just indifferent, but her posture was very respectful. : "I am Mobile Fortress Artificial Intelligence No. 03, you can call me 03."
