[To the new head of the Radcliffe family-Joshua Van Radcliffe]
[Your loyal Fan]
[When you see this letter, you should have led people to eradicate the pests in the city. Artanis is my good friend. He is a religious priest. I entrust this letter to him. Naturally, it is absolutely Don't worry, but just in case, I still hope you can prove it.]
"You are so confident in me that you actually think that I will definitely succeed. Although it is true, you have something to explain. Why don't you come and talk to me in person?"
Standing in the study of a mansion in the west of the city, Joshua held in his hand this seemingly ordinary, but secret letter left by Fan, and let out a long sigh.
Now, he is in a part of the city a little further west than the Cemetery Church, in a courtyard of the Radcliffe family. Due to the collapse of the Lord's Mansion, the warrior has nowhere to go, and can only come here vaguely in his memory. I have a little impression of the other courtyard. Although this big house with a yard does not look gorgeous, it has a quaint atmosphere. There are no weeds or dirt. The decoration and cleanliness are very good. It should be because someone comes here to clean it often. .
After leaving Yingying to look around alone, he found a quiet place and read the letter that the old butler gave to Pastor Artanis alone.
After opening the envelope, Joshua found that all the subsequent contents were hidden by a small magic circle, and they were all blank. If the envelope was forcibly cracked, it would be easy for the contents to be completely destroyed. To remove it, it seemed that he was required to provide some proof.
"Could it be this?"
After thinking for a while, Joshua raised an index finger and ignited a small amount of fighting spirit flames. A red light flashed. He raised the light and slowly approached the magic circle.
Buzz.
The runes on the magic circle rotated, as if they were being verified, and then with a clear sound like broken glass, the magic circle was lifted, and the subsequent content returned to normal, reappearing on the blank letter paper.
Indeed, fighting spirit is something unique to everyone. Even if the breathing method is the same, the nature of the fighting spirit developed is very different.
Nodding slightly, Joshua continued to look down.
[Young Master—No, it should be said that he is the new head of the family. When you read this letter, I will definitely be dead.]
[There is no need to be sad for me. Since my masters as contractors have all died, I cannot continue to live. The reason why I can still survive for a while is because the previous head of the family released my energy core... I am now , just to complete my final mission, send his bones and myself to the family cemetery. This is a divine opportunity and a responsibility that a housekeeper should fulfill.]
[Two magic machines prepared for you, which one did you choose? No matter who you are, you must know what the divine machine is. So, please allow me to explain to you the origin of the divine machine and the contract between the Radcliffe family and the divine machine.]
In the first paragraph, the information revealed was already beyond Joshua’s imagination.
Indeed, the information in the letter that the old butler only had ten days left to live and the state of his life was very fitting. This was indeed not a lie, and what he said after that was also corroborated with the information on the system.
Fan's death seems to be inevitable... It's really helpless.
Secretly clenching his fists, Joshua glanced at him.
The family cemetery... the one in the Black Forest Fortress? The Radcliffe family, which originated from military exploits, has never forgotten the source of its glory. Born in blood and returned to the battlefield is a reflection of them. Even if they die, they must be buried with their weapons. The family cemetery is in a corner of the fortress. Next to a small church.
Now is not the time to think about this.
Joshua took a deep breath, squinted his eyes, and continued to look behind him. What followed would surely surprise him even more.
[The divine machine is not a product of this world—to be precise, the manufacturing methods of me, us, and even all divine machines come completely from another world, a world destroyed by evil monsters.
The origin of all this can be traced back to 347 years ago.
Three hundred and forty-seven years ago, four hundred and eighty-four years after the fall of the star, due to the resurgence of the 'Elbatrion, the ancient dragon, the brilliant black dragon', the Great Ajax volcano roared and was about to erupt, and thick smoke enveloped the entire northern ice sheet. , the huge magic shock disrupted the fluctuations of time and space, and the imperial capital's teleportation array to the north was completely ineffective. As a result, the fortress group left by the sages when the ancient star fell into the inner sea, which is now the Boundless Sea, lost its source of supply and was difficult to continue. In order to assist the fortresses in the distance, the empire formed an unprecedented luxury exploration army and recruited all the elites at the time. This army only had two hundred people, but they were all strong men who could compete with one thousand. The mission is to defeat and drive away the ancient dragon Huang Heilong, appease the Great Ajax volcano and restore the smooth flow of the teleportation array in the north.
The crusade against the ancient dragon ended in vain. The brilliant black dragon Elbatarian had long since disappeared, and he didn’t know where to go for a new round of sleep. However, the pacification of the volcano went very smoothly. With the cooperation of nine mages who had reached the ultimate intention, the underground The lava chamber stopped being active, the Great Ajax volcano would not erupt for a thousand years, the teleportation network was quickly restored, the fortress group was resupplied, and the exploratory army was also preparing to return after a rest.
However, just the night before returning, something strange happened in the vast black forest below the mountain range.
The center of the forest exudes a dark and gloomy light. Mysterious light patterns that are difficult for ordinary people to understand flicker. Dark and turbid smoke spurts out from the light, forming various strange patterns. The magic power rises in a chaotic tide, and the earth seems to be possessed. It cracked open like life, and from the cracks emerged countless strange monsters that had never been heard of before. They had different shapes, some even looked like plants or even machines. These monsters were not afraid of magic or fighting spirit, and could only use pure physical attacks. Cause visible damage to them.
But just like that, there is no way to stop this exploration army, which is all the elites of the empire. One of the strong men among the dwarves, Iron Body Moya, is keenly aware that the minions of these monsters can easily tear apart their own bodies. The body is not just that. Although these monsters will turn into black ash and float away after death, there is always something left to settle down. These materials are extremely hard and can extremely accommodate the entry of various extraordinary energies. This should be The reason why monsters are not afraid of magic and fighting spirit.
These materials were used to coat everyone's weapons on the spot, and then they went to fight. Sure enough, the originally tough skin and muscles were torn apart easily. In this way, even if the number of these monsters continued, there was no tendency to decrease at all. , the exploration army was not afraid at all.
The battle lasted until noon the next day, and the black smoke formed after the monster's death even obscured the sun. However, as the magic tide receded, the channel through which the monsters emerged seemed to be temporarily closed. The forward troops who had wiped out all the remaining monsters immediately reported to the Imperial Capital. The Imperial City took this news very seriously. While asking the exploration army to stay where they were and waiting for instructions, and allowing them to explore freely, the legendary powerful men of the Empire also began to prepare to leave.
