Chapter 60: The power of inheritance

"Master, this is..."

Unlike the well-informed Joshua, Yingying has never seen such a strange sight. In front of her eyes, a faint blue light propped up a door. Behind it, there was the blurred black earth and the distant scenery. Under the pale sky, countless gray stone tombstones and damaged weapons stood in silence, and outside the blue glow, there was still the dusty old church. The two were distinct and did not affect each other.

Vaguely, she felt a sense of familiarity passing through the space and coming from those weapons. This familiar feeling couldn't help but make Miss Shenji take a step forward, wanting to touch the blue light.

"It's a space-time gate."

Stretching out his hand to pull the silver-haired girl back, Joshua rubbed her little head, and then added another sentence in the other's puzzled eyes: "The time and space gate leading to a certain time and space narrow passage is now controlled by some kind of power." It’s sealed, and you’ll get hurt if you touch it.”

Looking at the faint blue door, the warrior now has a clear feeling. Behind the sealed portal, where the family cemetery is, there is a power calling him, just like the memory of this body's childhood. , he felt the same as when he attended his grandfather's funeral in this small church. Such a profound impression made him unforgettable for a long time, and he can still recall it clearly to this day.

It was the resonance of blood, as if the blood all over the body was boiling.

But Joshua forcibly suppressed the resonance in his body, and there would always be errors in memory. In the soldier's memory, his grandfather was buried in a cemetery near the church, but in fact it should be behind the time and space gate. .

He calmly observed the blue door in front of him.

"This is the twelve-point space-time gate developed by the Far South Mage Association and Grand Master Schwenbol. It requires three golden mages above level 40 to build it. However, although the initial magic power consumption is huge, it is more stable. If the location is chosen If done well, it can even last for more than ten years.”

Scanning his eyes, the former legendary warrior quickly saw the ins and outs of the transmission channel in front of him. With the blessing of rich experience, more than twenty ways to quickly destroy it had appeared in his mind, and his hands were even ready to move: "The design looks a bit... It’s outdated, but it should be considered the most cutting-edge technology in this era. I shouldn’t have used this when I was a kid. When was it updated?”

Probably his time in the army.

Thinking of this, Joshua shook his head, and couldn't help but feel that the old earl who died without a trace left really free and easy. Without the words and deeds of the previous generation of family leaders, even if he accepted the information contained in the altar, he still didn't know many things, such as why the family cemetery was established in the narrow channel of time and space, and what the power of the seal in the church was.

The narrow passages of time and space are strange realms between worlds. They are large and small, and they are all different. They are named because they mostly exist in the narrow gap between the two worlds. If certain time and space channels are very stable and exist long enough, they can even give birth to soil and sky, and unique life will exist, just like a real small world.

In the past life, in the later stages of the Continent of Disputes, there were many high-level BOSSs and forces that had their own narrow space-time passages. Many dungeons and battles were conducted in them. The most famous one was the one with the entrance in the void of the star realm. [Ancient Sacrificial Site Connecting All Worlds], this passage between multiple worlds is even so vast and stable that it can be called a new world.

At that time, in order to block the retreat of monsters or destroy the possibility of enemy raids, almost everyone had to learn how to quickly destroy various time and space gates and teleportation omens. That’s why Joshua was so familiar with various teleportation channels and had to It's an occupational disease that makes you want to destroy the blue door when you see it.

Everyone is responsible for interrupting the transmission.

But these are not important things. After processing the information granted by the altar in his mind, the warrior immediately knew how to pass through this time and space gate.

"As long as the blood of the Radcliffe family is sacrificed on the altar, or a part of the divine machine's psionic body can pass through smoothly... simple."

Joshua simply bit a small wound on his finger with his teeth. Black-red blood dripped in the center of the stone altar, and then quickly seeped into it. With his current physical strength, except for his own teeth, he carried all the blood with him. Knives and other instruments could no longer scratch the surface of his skin.

A few seconds later, with the fluctuation of magic power, the seal hidden in the space-time gate was lifted. After the blue light, the originally blurry earth and sky suddenly became clear, and the ethereal and remote feeling completely disappeared.

Joshua did not hesitate and immediately crossed the space-time gate, and Yingying followed closely behind.

When he walked through the blue door, Joshua felt dizzy, but he was accustomed to teleportation in his previous life and quickly regained his balance. He even had the strength to reach out and hug him, which almost made his knees weak. Hotaru kneeling on the ground.

Standing on the black soil, he released the silver-haired girl who had regained her balance. Breathing the air that was completely different from the original world, Joshua looked around at the small world behind the teleportation channel. Its diameter was about 1,200 meters. , one can clearly see the chaotic light film at its edge, which seems to contain everything, but a blurred luster of no color flows on it.

"Father, Fan should be here."

Speaking softly, Joshua recalled the cloudy day two months ago, when the heavy snow had just fallen and the wind blowing from the permanent ice in the vast sea in the far north was not so cold. In Moldavia, In front of the main city, the white-haired old man said goodbye to him with a smile, then left towards the distance and disappeared on the other side of the horizon.

Is he here now

There were various gray stone tombstones in front of him. There were about forty or fifty, which had exceeded the number of family heads in the past. Joshua slowly walked towards the nearest tomb, wanting to see the inscriptions on it. .

A broken spear was placed in front of a square stone tablet. On the smooth surface of the tablet, there was a row of simple words carved on it. However, it seemed that it had become blurry due to the passage of time. In order to see clearly what was written on it, Joshua slowly walked over and touched it with his hand - a cold touch came, but he also brushed away the dust that settled on it.

—Seamus Radcliffe-541~574

—Shenji Luo-541~574

[The knight's life gallops by, giving death a cold glance.]

After a moment of silence, the soldier turned his head and looked at several other adjacent graves.

The scimitar with a broken blade was stuck in the soil, and the handle was covered with black blood scabs that had been solidified for an unknown period of time.

—Altman Radcliffe-692~743

—Shenji·Ya-692~743

[Before dawn, thirteen dark tides, twelve victories.]

The tower shield, with a huge gap split in the center, leaned against the tomb.

—Ivan Radcliffe-479~517

—Shenji·An-479~517

[Death is not meaningless, at least it brings the dawn of success.]

Walking in front of many stone monuments, some have inscriptions, some do not, and some even have the owner's life engraved on them. They are densely packed and cannot be seen clearly, but no matter whose tombstone it is, Joshua has a sincere heart for these ancestors. of respect.

From the years of birth and death and the inscriptions on the inscriptions, we can know that all the people buried here died in battles. None of them died well. On average, it takes about 40 years for one generation to change, and some even A whole family was killed at the same time.

Hundreds of years ago, in order to guard the passage of time and space, the ancestors of the Radcliffe family came to this ice field where the cold current surged and opened up the frontier of civilization. They built cities and fortresses, separated the mountains and the black forest with gray-white fortresses, and used their flesh and blood to block the tide of beasts that galloped like raging waves from invading the human world.

Under their leadership, countless passionate warriors guarded this frontier far away from civilization, either for glory or duty. Some returned to their hometowns with full honors, but more of them stayed behind. The next body, cold and dry, was buried by family members and comrades.

Sacrifice is always worthy of respect.

"Master, come and take a look..."

Joshua heard his own confused voice not far away.

He turned around and saw that the silver-haired girl was standing in front of an obelisk carved from solid rock, blinking her green eyes and staring at it with confusion.

Sensing the warrior who was walking quickly, the mysterious lady opened her mouth slightly, but didn't know where to start. She just pointed at a huge sword like a door panel stuck upside down next to the tombstone, and then lightly He said lightly: "Is this Fan?"

Walking to Yingying's side, Joshua took a deep breath when he saw the giant black sword with gold patterns for the first time. He frowned, and then smiled with an indescribable emotion.

"...Ah, yes, yes."

Sure enough, it's here.

The giant sword with black gold patterns was quietly inserted into the black soil. There were some signs of fragmentation on the cold steel blade. As a former legendary warrior, Joshua could see that the core supporting the sword was It has been completely shattered. Not to mention using it, as long as it is waved again, it may completely shatter.

Not daring to touch it, Joshua looked up at the tombstone next to him. A familiar name was engraved on it.

—Berro Radcliffe-785~831

This is my father's name.

The warrior finally found his father's grave.

On this hard rock tombstone, there is such a long epitaph carved.

[Maybe one day, civilization and order will be able to transform the world into a more livable appearance, but it is definitely not today. Before that can happen, someone has to stand up, fight, and die.]

This gray obelisk seems to have been carved in recent years, and unlike other old tombstones, there is a crumpled paper ball placed in front of it, which seems to be wrapped with something. thing.

Bending down and reaching out to pick up the ball of paper, Joshua unfolded it and found two scrawled words written on it, and a blue gem rolled out and fell into the palm of his right hand.

The soldier looked at the note first.

'To my son, Joshua Radcliffe. '

'I believe you can come here... I hope you can grasp the power of this inheritance. '

"You are obviously dead, but you have so much confidence in me... But, the power of inheritance?"

Muttering to himself in confusion, Joshua looked at the gem in his right hand, his red pupils narrowed slightly: "Is it this?"

He picked up this thumb-sized cyan gem and looked at it carefully.

This inconspicuous gem is not gorgeous. At first glance, it is easy to ignore it as a stone of the same color. But if you look carefully, you can find that there is a blue color in it, and the clouds and mist like a galaxy are spinning endlessly.

Joshua tried to hold it.

Then, at the moment he held the gem tightly, a strange feeling like electricity spread from his palm to his whole body, and a huge prompt box suddenly appeared in front of the warrior's retina, filled with bold red characters. the entire field of vision.

The long-lost system prompt appeared in front of Joshua.

[You have obtained the Origin Rare Item and the Special Inauguration Item—the Azure Orb of the Sealed Guardian.]

[You passed the determination of will! You passed the camp judgment! You passed the qualification test!]

[important! You have received information about finding a new career—]

[You meet the employment requirements.]
