Late at night, the rapid bells rang in the town of Alleyn.
Along with the chaotic but gradually becoming uniform footsteps, countless villagers hurriedly took to the streets carrying swords and armors. They spontaneously gathered into small teams and formed an array. Among them, there were also a few Many flying spellcasters took off from the houses near the center of the village and town. They immediately arrived among the various teams and began to nervously announce various orders.
"The seventh team leader, the trading team led by Davian has not returned yet, but the soul light has not been extinguished. Now start the search and rescue operation."
The announcements delivered by the spellcasters were concise and to the point, and the villagers of the town - or rather, the semi-professional soldiers also took action very quickly. They seemed to do this kind of thing often, and the huge team was divided into two in an instant. Three parts were formed. One part organized weapons and armor and prepared to go out to search the town. The other part occupied the fortifications in the town and prepared for defense. The last part was on standby. Several leaders broke out from the team and strode into the center of the village. Festival hall.
"The trading place is too far away..."
A villager who was left in the town to prepare for defense sighed, and said helplessly to his companions: "Especially the original crystal transaction that that little girl Davian is responsible for, even the nearest trading point will cost a lot of money." If you go deep into the mountains, if there is even a little trouble, you will definitely not be able to come back smoothly."
"Isn't it?" The companion on the side also nodded in agreement: "Davian, this girl was originally a symbol, but after fighting in the past few years, almost all her body is covered with scars. Those dead shadows don't care whether you are a woman or not. "
The two people had completely different concerns, but they could still continue chatting. One of them was responsible for looking into the distance on the top of the watchtower, and the other was on guard with a bow. But suddenly, the villager who was looking into the distance was stunned for a while. He shouted: "Wait a minute, they're back!"
His voice spread through the entire town through amplification magic, and except for this villager, the people who were responsible for observing in other directions also discovered the same thing, and each one issued a happy announcement.
The entire town of Alaine is built on the top of a hill. The mountain seems to be cut off by something. The upper part is extremely flat rocky land. The residents of Alaine Town can observe the distant scenery from a high position. But now, the villager who was responsible for the lookout discovered that at the end of the field of vision, there was smoke and dust caused by the galloping horses, and a team of about thirty people was rushing towards the village at a high speed.
"Three carriages?"
The sharp-eyed person has already seen the simple carriage that looks a bit out of place in the queue. He seems to be very happy: "So many raw crystals?! It's almost twice as much as before!"
The original crystal is the material used by the intelligent beings in this world to practice.
The elemental power between heaven and earth is chaotic and inert. Except for some special races, most lives cannot use it. Only these powers hidden deep in the earth's crystals have stable and active power. Properties, it can be used as a variety of spell casting materials and practice materials.
In the apocalypse, there is nothing more precious than the original crystal. It is the basis for maintaining the existence of a town and the ammunition to resist the invasion of the shadows of death. There are twelve teams in Aletto Town to search outside during the day and trade available raw crystals. Jing, and Davian is the captain of the seventh team.
The villagers looking out seemed to be very familiar with Davian. There was a faint luster flowing in his eyes. This was his innate power of 'Eagle Eye', which could clearly see the scenery several kilometers away.
He naturally discovered the soldiers following Davian's team.
Therefore, I was stunned for about seven or eight seconds.
The sirens, representing the highest level of alert, resounded over the town of Alleyn.
When Joshua followed this group of local riders back to their home base, what he saw was a village guard that was extremely vigilant and could barely bend a bow to shoot an arrow.
There is an artificially developed river next to this village on the top of a mountain. There is also a tall and sturdy city wall that is completely unlike a city wall in a village. There are many towers on the edge of the village and the elite archers have sharp eyes, all locked on the warriors. On the body.
"It's just a small fortress." Not paying attention to the other party's nervousness and vigilance, Joshua came and eliminated many dead shadows along the way. He finally understood why this world conveyed such a decadent atmosphere. For those who can live here As a village that had survived in such circumstances, he fully understood the other party's wariness against an inexplicably strong man like him.
"My lord, I ****."
The female knight at the head turned around and said something. Looking at her expression, Joshua seemed to want to step forward and explain that the warrior was not a bad person in the first place, so naturally he simply let their team They returned to the village collectively, while staying alone outside the village and town, waiting for further negotiations.
When Davian and other team members returned to the town, they were surrounded by a group of extremely nervous village senior officials.
"Little Davian, what's going on with you?!"
A gray-haired middle-aged man who looked to be in his early fifties and had a war hammer on his waist took a long breath. He hugged the female knight with a wry smile, and then said in a serious tone: "You guys Why did the team come back with such a terrifying... existence?!"
When he said this, the middle-aged man's tone was still trembling.
Next to him, a male spell caster who looked much younger was also holding his staff tightly and sighed: "The energy detection crystal in the village exploded when he tried to scan the opponent. The strength of that existence At least it has surpassed the second energy level and reached the first sequence.”
The warning in the caster's tone has been lowered. He understands that facing this strong man who may be the first sequence, Davian and others have no power to resist. The other party did not force his way in, but stayed in the village. Waiting for negotiation is the greatest goodwill in itself.
"How did you come into contact with this existence?" On the side, the gray-haired middle-aged man asked a little impatiently.
"Uncle Bolt, Uncle Alan." Hearing this, Davian smiled bitterly: "This thing is really weird... I still thought I was dreaming."
All the members of the town of Areon are members of the Astorea family. The female knight is related to the two village senior officials. At this time, she made no secret and told the story of what she encountered in the Forest of Autumn Water and her inner feelings. I spoke out all my thoughts to these two people.
"Huh..." Taking a long breath, the gray-haired middle-aged man named Bolt frowned, but most of the impatience and nervousness in his expression had disappeared: "Just relying on the aftermath of the energy around him, he can turn it around." Are all those ancient warriors sleeping in the Forest of Autumn Water wiped out? Are all the dead figures encountered along the way wiped out with a single blow? Even the undead ghosts of prehistoric giant beasts are just one punch?"
The female knight nodded heavily. When she looked at this scene, she felt that her eyes were about to be shaken out. It was not fear or surprise. This was beyond common sense and reached an unbelievable state.
Seeing this, Bolt smiled bitterly and said: "Little Davian, do you know what this means? Not even the first sequence can do this. Only the legendary 'heroes' and ancient ones can do this." It’s something that only heroic spirits can do.”
"To be honest, according to what you said, with this adult's strength, wanting to destroy our village is just a thought."
On the side, Yalan also shook his head softly and said: "It's not that I don't believe this - the existence that can make the detection crystal explode as soon as it starts scanning can definitely be done, but I'm just thinking, what is the other party? From You Lan Appearing in the gap... This is not the scene of the heroic spirit resurrecting."
None of the three people thought that the warriors were human beings, so they collectively ignored this point. Judging from this similar thinking logic, they were indeed a family.
"It seems."
After a long silence, the other surrounding village leaders gradually got the information they wanted from the rest of the team. With Bolt and Alan at the center, they seemed to have made the same decision in unison.
"We can only let the ancestors wake up."
Joshua, who was waiting quietly outside the village, was flipping through the language comparison table provided by the system.
The upright and simple warrior temporarily forgot that he had such a thing as a system, so when he encountered an unknown language, he wanted to follow the locals and go to their villages to learn, but it turned out that according to the instructions given inside the system, Vocabulary translation and general grammar learning are countless times easier than doing this kind of thing.
[Common language for humanoid creatures in the world of Grandia]
[In the world of Grandia, the language commonly used by humanoid creatures. Even non-humanoid creatures, except for a small number of reclusive races, most can learn this language to facilitate daily transactions and communication.]
During just this period of time on the road, the warrior has roughly learned basic communication. According to the vocabulary translation provided by the system, he can also roughly speak the language of the Grandia world.
However, just when Joshua was studying seriously, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the center of the village.
The dark sky at night was lit up by the lights of Alleyn Town. At this time, countless pale golden light points rose from the bodies of every villager. These light points gathered the free elements in the atmosphere, carrying... The energy that wanders between heaven and earth then sinks into the sacrificial hall in the center of the village or town.
The warrior's red eyes were burning with fire-like light. This light penetrated the void, penetrated the rock walls and countless burning fires of life, and looked at a powerful will who was gradually awakening from the air.
"Strong."
The gentle and old voice of the old man rose from the heart of the warrior. This was the simple common language of ancient Grandia. This powerful will calmly said: "Thank you for protecting my descendants."
Following the voice rising in his heart, a human figure suddenly began to condense in front of the warrior. This human figure was composed of endless light points. Finally, they converged into the appearance of an old man.
Although this is an old man, he still has a powerful swordsman with compelling energy. He has long hair like strips of light, and wears a long sword at his waist. There is a flash of lightning on the scabbard, and the light swordsman's There were no human eyes in the eye sockets, but two blazing golden flames.
Although he is in human form, in the eyes of the warrior, the opponent is a divine sword that can cut everything. Although the long sword at his waist is not unsheathed, Joshua relies on instinct to know that it only takes a moment that is too late for his thinking. The swordsman can pull it out and cut everything into pieces.
"interesting."
Looking at the two golden flames, Joshua couldn't help but grin: "Are you the protector of this village?"
No one would believe that such a large village could still be maintained in the mountains despite frequent undead invasions. Without the protection of a strong person.
He looked a little excited about this.
Warriors naturally get excited.
Because the old man in front of him made Joshua feel a sense of danger that he had not seen for a long time. This was enough power to endanger his life.
Although this sense of danger can only be felt after a warrior's strength has been sealed by nearly 60%, it also means that the radiant swordsman in front of him, who has not emitted all his aura, can fight with his full strength. He fought with all his strength.
The pinnacle of ultimate will!
Just by casually following a small convoy to their hometown, they could meet such a powerful person. Could it be that there are more powerful people in the world of Grandia than in the Mycroft continent
"That's right."
Without waiting for the warrior to continue thinking, the light swordsman with the ultimate strength had already spoken, and said to Joshua in a calm and friendly tone: "I am the protector of this village, Heroic Spirit'Split" The Sword of Earth', Alain Astorea."
"So, strong man, where are you from? What are you going to do when you come to this mountain town?"
The old man who claimed to be a heroic spirit asked.
Joshua nodded and answered simply: "Joshua Van Radcliffe, a warrior, a person from another world."
The warrior's Grandia lingua franca is not fluent, but every word is powerful enough to make anyone ignore his pronunciation and grammatical problems: "I came here to get news about this world and to look for one thing. .”
The old heroic spirit was slightly startled when he heard this.
Unlike his descendants, as the mighty continent, fame spread all over the world, and even the legendary swordsman Alleyn, he can naturally see Joshua's extraordinary identity, no matter what is in the body of this strong man. The energy operation system that is incompatible with this world, or the lack of reaction after hearing his name, are enough to prove that the other person comes from a certain location, even the outside world.
But he didn't expect that the soldier would tell his origins so simply.
However, this kind of thing is actually normal for Joshua.
Warriors have always disliked twists and turns, so what if they told these people and this heroic spirit that they came from another world? Not to mention that the world seems to be infested by the undead now, a village of survivors will never turn against him. Even in a normal and prosperous world, if the locals encounter powerful and harmless outsiders, they will never start from the beginning. A feeling of disgust arises.
In this case, instead of being secretive, it is better to state your purpose directly, and maybe you can get better cooperation and get more meaningful information.
"You just want to know some news and look for something."
With a smile on his wrinkled face, the old man closed his eyes, and then opened them again. The pale golden flame swayed slightly, and he whispered: "Then, you are the most distinguished guest in our village."
Following the words of the heroic spirit Alaien, the thick wooden door of the small village slowly opened. The old man turned sideways and motioned for the warrior to follow: "Come on, a powerful warrior named Joshua."
"I'll tell you everything you need to know."
