"You are too slow. How come both Hotaru and Rin arrived before you?"
Imperial Royal Magic Association, president's office, Nostradamus' dissatisfied voice echoed in the room.
"I just comforted a child who was a little scared. I didn't expect some unexpected gains."
After walking out of the time and space gate, Joshua didn't take the old mage's questions seriously. Not to mention that he was less than a minute late, and it was still a long time before the set time. He should be considered to have set off early, and with Nostradamus around, they didn't need to care about space at all. distance, you can go to the vicinity of the void distortion point at any time.
As for the previous actions of No. 3, apart from sighing that he didn't expect emotional intelligence to have evolved to this point, the soldier had no other superfluous thoughts. After all, no matter what the situation was, it was too early.
Although this world has escaped a destructive future, it still has countless crises. The devil of the abyss, the earth and the monsters, the unknown ancient dragon, the evil god returning from the other side of the multiverse, and the darkness lurking among the stars. Everything is far from being able to relax, not to mention that Joshua has to follow the sage. To understand the lost truth of ancient times, he also wants to stand at the apex of the multiverse and fight against the strong men of countless worlds. In order to achieve these goals, the soldiers are far from ready to stop.
"Forget it, but your new pet is really strange."
Already accustomed to Joshua's occasional nonsensical answers, Nostradamus shrugged. He turned to look at the ball of light, which was full of interest and seemed to want to spray water, and then let go of it. The old mage felt a little agitated. He said regretfully: "Such a spiritual elemental creature can be said to be the best magic pet for a mage. It's a waste to give you this warrior."
A good magic pet can help the mage share the burden of magic, speed up the composition of large-scale spells, and can even move the energy bank part-time. In short, it has many functions and can help a mage improve his strength to a higher level, and light as a An existence that is similar to an elemental life, but is actually a higher level. In Nostradamus's view, it is indeed a perfect example of a familiar.
"Don't you?" Joshua asked a bit strangely. After all, as a legendary mage, Nostradamus had an entire empire as his backing, let alone a demon pet. As long as he Think about it, even catching an elemental elder is not difficult. But after asking, he seemed to recall something, shook his head and closed his mouth.
-Of course it's not that there is none, but that the other party's former partner died due to overload of magic power during the orc invasion war. Since then, Nostradamus has never accepted a magic pet.
"It's not a bad thing to waste it. At least you don't have to go to the battlefield... But what are you doing with it this time? You don't know magic."
Ignoring this question, Nostradamus watched the ball of light flying in his office, and finally slowly landed on Yingying's head. The legendary mage sat on his chair and said with some confusion: "Explore Although the time and space distortion point may not necessarily be difficult, it is not easy enough that you can take your pet for sightseeing.”
"Light is not an ordinary ball... creature." Joshua did not intend to tell others about Light's true identity for the time being. He had not yet fully confirmed the matter of the Blood Moon Abyss, and it had not yet reached the bottom where it could be exposed, so he looked at it from the side. Explained: "I brought it here to verify a guess, it was not a temporary idea."
Regarding this explanation, Joshua did not lie. Firefly and Rin were his weapons. The exploration of the time and space distortion point this time was far more important than the last time he went to the abyss to find someone, so he must be called. The body of the light is suspected The existence of the initial fire, the prototype of the will of the world, might be of some special use if he takes it to the ancient sacrificial site that connects all realms. And if that doesn't work, he can also resonate with the power of steel at any time. There is no danger in putting the light back where it belongs.
"In that case, feel free to do it."
Seeing that Joshua had his own considerations, Nostradamus stopped talking. He stood up from his seat and said: "This trip to explore the distortion point of the void, there are a total of four major forces, five Legendary powerhouses are joining the battle, including you and me representing the empire, Barbarossa representing the White Tower, the sage Faina representing the coastal city-state alliance of the Eastern Plains, and Godar, the fish-man high priest, because Goblin Township is the closest to the target. Demiplane, so we have reached an agreement with the fairy queens and can start exploring from the fairy town."
This information had actually been informed to Joshua through other channels not long ago, but the legendary mage still repeated it himself: "Through calculations and analysis, as well as testing of prophetic spells, it can be determined that this exploration will not be too serious." It is difficult to survive, so everything is based on the tradition of the past hundreds of years, allowing each force to send elite teams to explore it, and the legends only need to hold the line."
"Are these the only ones?"
Unlike Nostradamus, Joshua, who knew what the ruins behind the distortion point were, was a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this was normal. The various forces in the southern Mycroft continent, such as the Seven Gods, The Church, the Elf Court and the Far South Kingdom all have a lot of things to be busy with. Whether it is post-disaster reconstruction, purifying the contaminated land or planting the World Tree, they cannot be distracted. Although the Void Distortion Point is important, it is far less important than these. , so these forces will at most send some envoys to watch and record, and will not send elites to participate.
Not to mention Xishan. They are originally kingdoms ruled by scattered warlock families and extraordinary beings. The strong ones are basically the kings of a country. It is impossible for them to abandon their territory for such a thing, not to mention the recent underground The races of the world have begun to formally establish diplomatic relations with the outside world, and their energy has been fully devoted to this aspect, a vast underground territory full of new resources.
"Enough, five legends are holding the line. This is a line of defense that even if millions of demons come out, they may not be able to break it. If this ancient distortion point is not of great importance, it is very likely that there are valuable technologies and heritage from the Glorious Era. , coupled with its own value of being able to exist stably for thousands of years, how could we possibly gather such a powerful exploration team?"
Standing in the center of his office, Nostradamus raised his head and looked towards the sky with a serious expression: "Go there early and prepare early. It's time to set off."
Naturally, Joshua would not refuse, so the next second, with the far stronger fluctuations in time and space and the faint blue magic light spilling out of the window, everyone in the room crossed the gap in time and space under the power of the legendary mage and went to The other side of the distant void.
At about the same time, in the eastern sea of the mainland, inside a towering rock tower that seemed to grow directly from the continental shelf, a bald old man in simple clothes and holding a pipe in his hand stood on the high platform of the teleportation array of his mage tower. He scanned the twelve silent elite mages in the array with scrutinizing eyes. There were no pupils or whites in his eyes, only a burning light. Barbarossa, the master of elements, is not a talkative person. He is used to making decisions before taking action, replacing his words with down-to-earth actions. Naturally, his apprentices and disciples are also influenced by his teacher and have similar attitudes. Character traits.
"The operation begins." He said simply.
Then the light of teleportation came on.
After noticing the actions of an old acquaintance and an old rival, in the most prosperous port city in the eastern sea of the Mycroft continent, where the Sea Dragon Knights are stationed, and in a simple hut on a small island around Sea Dragon City, a plainly dressed woman with her eyes closed bundled up. He lifted up his ivory-white waist-length hair and activated the magic circle that caused waves in time and space with a calm expression. Far away from it, in the distant sea, in the center of the new gathering place of the fish-men clan, the same wave tore apart the space. Restraint, sending the huge black fishman and its elite men to the predetermined area.
Outside Mycroft's world, in the chaotic astral void, there are hundreds of bright light clusters attached to the world's light film. They are large or small, and the big ones seem to be clinging to the earth. The moon is small but only a few meters in diameter. This is the external image of the demiplane and independent space attached to the main world in the void. And just outside these hundreds of light groups, there is a group of darkness. The distorted space-time is extremely conspicuous. It slowly rotates around the world, and now it comes to the periphery of a huge light group.
Taking the Shenji siblings and the ball of light, Joshua and Nostradamus passed through the time and space channel and came to the Fairy Country. The transfer process between the demiplane and the world is quite long and complicated, and it also needs to pass the review of the fairy queens. Fortunately, there were no mistakes in the process. The group of people successfully arrived at the edge of the fairy town, and met with the fairy queen. A dark, distorted space-time faces each other head-on.
"There are quite a few people."
Scanning the surrounding camps, Joshua was quite surprised, because on the edge of the goblin town, there were four simple camps far apart. In each camp, more than twenty logistics personnel were preparing supplies. They seemed to want to This place was to be built into a temporary base, and in the camp where he and Nostradamus arrived, there were fifteen professionals who looked extremely elite. They were wearing the same style of armor and robes, and they should be of the same type. The members of a team include mage, priest, warrior, archer, alchemist and thief. It can be said to be a standard adventurer team.
Before he could continue to look at the surrounding environment, three consecutive time and space fluctuations were transmitted from the other three camps. Joshua could feel that at this moment, there were three powerful beings traveling from the other side of time and space. Come. There are aggregations of elements shining with colorful lights, there are beings that are rapidly assimilating with the environment of the surrounding Fairy Country, completely integrating themselves with the heaven and earth in just a short moment, and there is also a dark sea whose depth seems to be unfathomable. deep.
The element controller Barbarossa, the sea sage Faina, and the fish-man high priest Godar, three legendary powerhouses, brought their most elite teams to the edge of time and space in this fairy town at the same time.
Joshua observed the other party with interest, and the others also observed him. The bald old man narrowed his eyes slightly. What he saw was a towering volcano, spewing out golden-red molten steel. The woman with her eyes closed raised her eyebrows. From the beginning, what she sensed was a solid and self-contained piece of steel. The changes in the world around her seemed to have nothing to do with it, while the tall black fishman arranged the sacrificial ornaments made of skulls and gems around his neck. What he saw was the most solid and pure life force. It was boiling like a flame, releasing a high temperature that made people want to stay away.
And after this brief mutual observation, an even briefer communication began.
"Then, humans, it's as agreed."
In the distance, an obscure mental wave came from the fishman camp: "First split up, send teams to conduct preliminary exploration, share certain information with each other, and then make summary guesses."
This is the action plan that the four major forces have discussed long ago: the time and space distortion point is a distorted space and time. According to the speculations of the legendary experts, its essence should be the same artificial demiplane as the Fairy Township. It is just because of some Unexpectedly, it was not attached to Mycroft's world, but moved around the world's outer membrane in the astral void. And because of this, all the powerful legendary experts cannot enter it rashly, because if their powerful power is not restrained and confronts the power of this half plane, it is likely to cause extremely serious consequences, including But not only the entire demiplane is destroyed.
Therefore, before Joshua and others take action, the major forces will let their selected elite professionals enter first to collect information on various parameters of the demiplane, so that the legends can fine-tune the nature of their own power, and do not compete with this The conflict caused by the demiplane is the same as when the warrior went to the world of Grandia and needed time to adapt to the local power of steel.
The purpose of splitting up operations is to avoid conflicts. After all, the three major forces in the Eastern Plains have serious conflicts with each other. If one party discovers that the other party has found any important relics or materials, then they will undoubtedly launch sneak attacks on each other, and then develop into a head-on battle. , this will not only deepen the conflict, but also make the exploration futile. Therefore, only when encountering special serious situations, everyone will work together under the leadership of legends to solve it.
This series of processes seemed very familiar to Nostradamus. He had participated in and even presided over many similar joint operations in the past few decades. However, for him, the relationship between legendary strongmen was I'm afraid it's also the first time. Joshua also found it very novel, but this novelty mainly came from the perspective.
"Restricted-level dungeons, low-level elite exploration teams drawn from the team, and strong men who mainly serve as backgrounds and will only take action at critical moments."
He whispered to himself, and even laughed, causing Hotaru and Rin to look sideways. Nostradamus also turned his head in confusion. Joshua did not pay attention to other people's eyes, but looked into the void. Zhongzheng was in the slowly moving distorted space: "It's really familiar, but the identity has changed."
He used to be a person who participated in the exploration, but now, he is a strong person with a suppressive background.
Unknowingly, he had reached this point.
