The celebration of spring has arrived.
In the St. Clair Cathedral of the imperial capital, the old archbishop rang the ancient 'Star and Moon Bell', and the melodious and clear sound rose. The sweet ringing echoed throughout the imperial capital, including civilian areas, aristocratic areas, commercial areas, and royal areas. In the square, all the bell towers in the Three Mountains Holy City of Nuo Da began to ring in response, and the sound that penetrated people's hearts gradually spread until they could not see the distance.
Ringing the quarter bell to welcome the new season is a traditional custom in the Northern Empire and even the entire Mycrof continent - because at that time, only the rulers and clergy of various places had knowledge. In order to let ordinary people know Whatever season it is and what they should do, they will ring the big bell on the day when the corresponding season begins, hold celebrations, worship the gods, and spread the corresponding knowledge.
The sound of the quarter bell is unique. The sound of each big bell has been blessed by the seven gods and contains solemn and sacred power. When the three long and one short bells that mean spring sound, it is fresh and full of vitality. The power spreads along the ripples of sound waves, blessing everyone present.
Bang, the first melodious bell rings, and the power from the gods blesses all living beings. Originally, this event would usher in waves of cheers and prayers, and the emperor of the empire would also walk out of the hall amidst the cheers and ascend to the throne. Go up to the high platform, worship the earth beneath you as the lord of a country, and end this short but sacred ceremony. But now, the people who should have been shouting excitedly have all remained silent. Millions of people in the imperial capital raised their heads. The head looked towards the sky above the three mountains with shocked and puzzled eyes.
-what is that? Everyone thought in confusion.
At this time, a faint blue crack hundreds of meters in size appeared in the sky above the imperial capital. It was still gradually expanding, and in a matter of breaths it had turned into a huge thing spanning the Three Mountains Holy City, with clearly visible time and space. Ripples and chaotic chaotic veins in the void began to appear. Many people subconsciously closed their eyes when they saw the scenery in the void, lowering their heads and wailing in pain. This is because their brains cannot accept this kind of complete integration with three-dimensional time and space. Different fantastic views.
In the Morlai Palace, all the nobles, professionals and royals in the palace have left the palace. They are standing in the open space outside the palace. Most of them are looking up in the air as if an eye is slowly opening. The pupils couldn't help but shrink due to such diamond-shaped space-time cracks.
"That's—" an old mage wearing a mage's robe with the royal crest of the Royal Mage Association on his chest exclaimed: "It's the president's magic wave!"
"It's Master Nostradamus!"
Along with the old man's exclamation, the bell towers in the city also began to sing in unison. The second long bell rang. The space-time cracks high in the imperial capital stopped spreading, and complicated circles began to appear around the huge space-time cracks. Runes, they expanded rapidly, forming magnificent and complex magic patterns. Lines hundreds of meters long, thousands of meters long, containing huge power spanned the void, forming an extremely conspicuous three-dimensional - or even more than 100 meters - above the imperial capital. The magic circle was formed, and with the formation of the magic circle, the chaotic void scene in the cracks in time and space suddenly became clear.
It's like the boiling oil pot has cooled down, the churning void has become calm under the comfort of a force, and the dizzying chaotic scene has become clear bit by bit, clang, the third melodious bell. There was a sound, and within the vision of everyone who was still looking up, on the other side of the void, a huge, fortress-like existence began to emerge.
This is a huge fortress made entirely of cold silvery metal. It is in the shape of an extremely regular icosahedron, with the most advanced observation array engraved on each side that can even penetrate time and space. It stands outside the world. In the void, he was alone observing the chaotic scene in the multiverse. Countless chaotic time and space turbulence wanted to get closer to it, but they disappeared like phantoms under the influence of magic.
"Void Observatory!"
At this time, all the nobles or professionals with some knowledge couldn't help but exclaimed, causing commotion. They knew what this steel fortress at the other end of time and space was. It was three hundred years ago, during which even the emperor The great building that has just been completed after four generations means that the farthest fortress in the empire's territory can directly observe the void and understand the wonders of the multiverse, such as the [Void Observatory]!
When the mages realized that the stars above their heads were not stars, but vast worlds, they could no longer suppress their desire to understand the multiverse. This desire turned into a flame. The burning empire comes from the hearts of all spellcasters who are aspiring to the future in other human gathering places, so after hundreds of years of hard construction and struggle, [Sentinel Array], [Eye of the Saint], [Star Observation Station] and [Star Vision]]Four man-made buildings rooted in the void stand in the chaotic time and space. Unlike the demiplane, these buildings face the chaotic flow of time and space and can obtain first-hand information in the true sense. They are the civilization of Mycroft Continent. An outpost observing the multiverse.
But now, this means that the wonders of the supreme masterpiece of civilization are still standing in the turbulence of the void. The buildings side by side with the kingdom of gods appear so clearly in front of the crowd in the imperial capital, separated from everyone by the distant stable void. Looking at each other.
"Look! What is that!"
In the shocked silence, someone suddenly broke the silence. It was a young mage in the neighborhood. He also had the coat of arms of the Royal Mage Association, but he only played an assistant role. But this young man But he was the first to notice something was wrong in the stable flow of time and space. With a voice that was almost like a roar, he raised his hands and shouted loudly: "There! There!"
Not only him, but also many powerful people noticed the difference in the flow of time and space, but they did not make a sound, but suppressed the shock in their hearts and watched calmly.
And what they saw was a human figure.
A figure walked between the void star observatory and the time and space rift above the imperial capital, heading to Mycroft's world. He walked slowly, clearly in the void, but he seemed to be stepping on the solid earth. Every time this blurry figure, whose appearance could not be seen clearly, stepped, the void became still, and the chaotic time and space became stable. This power even transmitted Arriving at Mycroft's world, the wind above the imperial capital froze.
Because the space is condensed like ice, everything falls into silence and silence, and the bright sunlight is distorted and crawling under this figure.
clang----
The fourth short bell echoed throughout the imperial capital. It was supposed to end quickly, but instead it became slow and long under an inexplicable force. It was like time was stretched, space was expanded, short and long. At this time, fast experienced a relative reversal and became slow and long.
Joshua stared at the void, different from No. 3 who looked surprised, different from Yingying who was curious, and different from Brandon, Veldani and everyone else who seemed to have known something for a long time but was still shocked by it. A nobleman is different from a professional. His gaze swept across the entire world, and then focused on the vague figure.
The power of time and space flows through his body, and the light twists and deviates around him. The concept called 'mundane' is rapidly moving away from the old body that is rapidly sublimating and transforming, and a huge and uncontrollable force begins. Reshape a body called 'Legend'.
"Nostradamus."
The warrior whispered, his eyes could break through all the fog. Joshua looked at the old man on the other side of the void. At this time, various strange images occurred frequently in the imperial capital. All the portals were closed at the same time. The magic elements seemed to be approaching in fear. A great being froze in place, and the stones slowly hung in the air, and then flew strangely in mid-air. He felt this power that was completely different from him, but equally powerful and full of mystery, and then smiled.
"congratulations."
And the vague human form has reached the edge of the rift in time and space.
"despair-"
The sound of slight footsteps came, making everyone feel frightened. The vague human figure stepped within the scope of Mycroft's world. Immediately, a circle of extremely obvious ripples of blue energy began to appear in the air like water ripples. It rippled out and spread 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, had regained a human form.
This is an old mage wearing a white mage robe. He is tall and looks like a star. His eyes are filled with powerful magic light. Because of his presence, all the free elements in the entire imperial capital area fall into silence, as if they are crawling to show their submission. , mages below the Jiyi level were even horrified to realize that they had lost control of the surrounding elements.
Four bells rang, spring had arrived, and everyone could clearly see the appearance of the old man who came across the void. He was so huge that it seemed that the cracks in time and space that could swallow a city were slowly closing behind him, and the huge steel The fortress and the Void Star Observatory were gradually obscured by the chaotic turbulence of time and space. The crowd on the ground fell into panic due to physical instinctive fear, but then they were calmed by a gentle mental wave and returned to calm.
"The legend...the master Nostradamus..."
Joshua could hear the trembling and awe-inspiring voice of a great noble next to him saying these two simple but extraordinary characters. This man who operated the mana crystal mine and was the powerful Earl The noble noble should have been well-informed and not surprised by everything, but at this time he couldn't help but lower his head respectfully to show respect.
Unlike Joshua beside him, first of all, the warrior did not advance in front of them, and he also blocked his own sense of existence. He was too young with his long appearance, and his reputation had not been spread for decades, so the nobles You will be afraid, even to please him, but it is difficult to feel true awe from deep in your heart.
But the old man in front of him was different.
Master Nostradamus stands calmly in mid-air. His once-decrepit body has been reshaped by the fluctuations of time and space, forming his extraordinary body that is now completely composed of magic power and space fluctuations. He has conceived this body for dozens of times. For many years, it has been unable to be achieved due to insufficient concentration of magic power and various constraints between the world and the void. But now because of the great demonic tide, because the future troubles of his students have been lifted, and because his ideal future experiment has been initially achieved in the North, so The old man, who had swept away all troubles, embarked on this path of grasping his own 'destiny' without hesitation.
At the same time, Joshua did not continue to look at Nostradamus who was in mid-air, using the power of his new legend to hold the spring celebration on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor. Instead, he turned back and looked at himself without surprise. A tall figure was walking slowly behind him.
I don’t know when it will appear. The ruler of the empire with dark golden hair nodded slightly and motioned the warrior to follow him.
Joshua shrugged. He gently placed No. 3 sitting on his shoulders on the ground, but with a slightly dull voice, he told Yingying and the artificial intelligence girl not to run around, and then he was still immersed in In the feeble farewells of the girls who had a vision of a legendary mage, they left side by side with His Majesty the Emperor, who had already turned around to leave.
Among the people present, Queen Edna was the only one who noticed this scene and 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 she suddenly became wary of him. One step higher.
In a deserted garden path 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 previously majestic but now extremely calm sky of the imperial capital. His voice was filled with emotion: "Four Ten years ago, or even earlier, Teacher has done many, many things for the entire empire and for me. His contribution is unmatched by anyone, and I don’t even know how to repay him."
Joshua walked side by side with the Emperor. He listened to someone's student, the ruler of this land, talking about the past in a nostalgic tone.
"His achievements are so great that he can't be rewarded? People always say this to me. Nostradamus's achievements have reached a peak. He destroyed three plans of the Orc Shaman Army and almost blocked it with one person. The enemy made several extremely secretive sneak attacks, and he helped me, the emperor of the empire, defeat other princes to win the supreme position of the empire, and he also trained hundreds of noble mages and more civilian mages."
"He presided over the construction of the transmission network connecting all parts of the empire, which made many nobles with evil intentions unwilling to calm down. He presided over the construction of the latest generation of wide-area time and space anchoring formations in the imperial capital, and left a backdoor for himself."
When he said this, Israel's tone was a bit sarcastic: "At that time, many people offered advice, saying that Nostradamus had evil intentions and was trying to overthrow the imperial royal family - it is not surprising that they thought so, after all The teacher has the possibility to advance to legend at any time. If he really uses all his influence, then it is a sure thing not to mention subverting the empire and severely damaging the vitality of the royal family. So they want me to kill the teacher. After all, he is gone. If you use it, even if the teacher stops taking any action after finishing what he wants to do, rests peacefully and plays chess with me, they will still be said to be trying to lurk in the dark and plot a conspiracy."
The ruler of the empire stopped, and the warrior noticed that the two of them had arrived in front of a palace. Israel glanced at the simple and mottled stone walls on the outside of the palace, and showed a nostalgic smile: "This is what I used to do. The palace where I lived as a prince was where my teacher explained the extraordinary way to me. Although he is a mage, he has already understood that magic and vitality are actually one, and they are just different derivatives of some high-level power."
"Joshua."
He turned his head and looked at the warrior, with an inexplicable light shining in his eyes. The emperor said: "Someone always told me that the way of the emperor is lonely. I must make many sacrifices for the power in my hands and the throne below me. , from now on, there will be no feelings of family, friendship, love and respect. Everyone will serve my interests, and I cannot trust anyone. I will treat everyone as subordinates and tools. Only in this way can I rule a Nuo. A large empire allows its rights to continue.”
"But I'm going to say: Fuck it."
Israel Diamond, the contemporary emperor of the Northern Empire, a hero who defeated the orcs, said this with a calm expression on his face: "I am a legend. Who I trust is my business. How I want to be the emperor is up to me."
"My rights come from my strength and have nothing to do with that nonsense - rights are just a derivative of my punching power."
This voice is resounding. Perhaps there is no sentence in His Majesty's life that is more true than this sentence.
The corners of Joshua's mouth turned up slightly, he narrowed his eyes and said softly: "What a wayward statement."
"That's a given."
And Israel snorted coldly, as if the soldier had said something nonsense. He raised his head again and looked at the sky. His eyes could indeed penetrate the clouds and sky and gaze at the stars in the sky: "Mr. Radcliffe, see you After passing through the memories of the gods of the Glorious Era, I understood many things. For example, the rights in the world are so boring and boring, and the stars in the sky are so vast. I want to change the world, and the promotion teacher wants to promote The revolution gives everyone, rich or poor, no matter how high or low, the possibility of reaching the extraordinary.”
"Even if this will shake your position as emperor?"
The soldier asked.
"A boring rhetorical question." Israel shook his head and asked directly: "I am willing to believe you, Lord Radcliffe, and are you willing to help me?"
The emperor held out his hand.
Joshua looked at him, at the man whose destiny he had changed, at the man who was preparing to change the destiny of the world, at the man who was ambitious and intended to create a great revolution beyond his destiny.
The warrior grinned and showed a happy smile.
He took his hand.
"With great pleasure."
Asking for a monthly pass at the beginning of the month!
