"Are we going to use battleships? Are those nobles really planning to rebel?"
After hearing Israel's murderous words, Joshua felt a little strange. He frowned and said to the person on the other side of the light screen: "It's just about spreading extraordinary knowledge, conducting magic, fighting spirit, and rune knowledge." It’s just popularized, no matter how extreme the nobles are, they won’t rebel because of this.”
"Do you think I am so cautious just to deal with a specific group of people?"
Israel shook his head: "Regardless of my strength, I am still an emperor after all. Although I do not have absolute jurisdiction over the enfeoffed local nobles, they will not raise a flag of rebellion against me for such a thing. Orcs and The Dragon Disaster has just passed, and the anti-war forces, both in the military and among the people, are so strong that it is impossible for them to summon the army."
"What worries me is that those who have been robbed of the right to speak and the right to explain extraordinary power are secretly sabotaging. The new floating warship is only used as a suppressive force to maintain order in possible chaos."
Regarding this explanation, Joshua nodded. Once he said this, he understood.
The so-called right to speak and the right to interpret are, in a sense, power. The core power of religion is the right to speak and explain things such as God, the afterlife, the future, and miracles. Those who gather money among the people by teaching extraordinary power and gather their own power to become local emperors do so through The power of speech and interpretation of extraordinary power obtains benefits for oneself. The big nobles may be afraid of the power of Israel, Nostradamus and Joshua, the three legends, who can level the earth, but these little people are not afraid. After all, they will not fight head-on, but will only use deception, incitement and various methods. This trick disrupts the situation and adds trouble to everyone.
But as soon as the floating battleship appears, any chaos and trouble will be solved - under the absolute violence suspended over the city, no one will dare to use caution. Even the brave ones will not be able to find other places. accomplice.
—Israel needs to be reminded that this extremely powerful and violent rule cannot last long.
Joshua originally thought that this method was too tough, but if he thought about it carefully, the Northern Empire was originally a feudal, centralized and authoritarian empire, and the mainstream gods it believed in were also the gods of power and justice. From this point of view, for the people of the empire, , this method is probably very common.
Israel's story was almost finished. He came to communicate just to ask about Joshua's recent whereabouts and to tell him about the changes in the abyss during this period. Now that he knew the reason, His Majesty the Emperor still had many things to do. busy.
"Adrian seems to be still at your place. The elf cards he recently made are extremely popular in the aristocratic circle. Yesterday, Baron Driman gave me a limited luxury collector's edition card table... Young people can do it It’s not easy for something to happen, Joshua, next time you meet Adrian, tell him there’s no need to come back in a hurry, I let him out just to let him start his own career.”
Before leaving, Israel said this to Joshua. He, the father, seemed to be very concerned about the whereabouts of the sixth prince.
"I will tell you." Joshua promised seriously. As for the fairy cards... He only remembered the shameful appearance of the two legendary mages cheating in every card game, and nothing else.
After Israel, the one who appeared on the other side of the light curtain was Master Nostradamus. The old mage, who had returned to his middle-aged appearance in the world of stars, once again turned pale, but the wrinkles on his face did not return. There was a smile on his lips. After seeing Joshua, he spoke quite relaxedly. He said in a tone: "Joshua, after you and Israel have talked so much, I, an old man, don't want to talk nonsense anymore... The two best mage academies under Guantian White Tower recently said that they want to send a group of students Come to us for exchange and study, and exchange magic and various technical research with each other. After all, this is a matter in your territory. If you want it to happen, you still need to speak."
"As long as it's not a spy, everything is easy to talk about."
Joshua agreed simply and neatly. He has always had a positive attitude towards technical exchanges. There is no future for working behind closed doors. Even species are hybridized and become better. Ideas, inspiration and technology are no exception. .
After briefly discussing the exchange plan with the academy under Guantian White Tower, Joshua closed the light curtain as the old mage said goodbye.
"It's almost done."
He let out a long breath, and then thought quite calmly in his heart: "The ancient dragon blood was also handed over to No. 3 just now. She will give it to Hill and Fina, and I can almost have a real rest." Time, precipitation and digestion of recent gains.”
Joshua recalled the extremely fulfilling five years since he came to Mycroft Continent in 831 Years of Starfall, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "I fought almost continuously for five years without taking a break. However, although it feels great, in order to ensure a complete state without any hidden injuries or blind spots, a thorough rest and self-examination must be carried out.”
Anyway, the Dragon Scourge has been wiped out, the cultists have disappeared, the Earth God Cult has fallen apart, and the flames have been rekindled. The Abyss Demon is probably too busy to take care of itself now. The Evil God is still decades away from Mycroft’s world. In addition, because of the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice Site The emergence of... Now there are almost no big things for the warriors to take action. Everyone is looking forward to future development, making the whole world more peaceful.
Because of Joshua's all-out fighting and hard work over the past five years, the Mycroft continent, which is said to have never-ending disputes, has actually entered a rare period of peace. I just don't know how long this precious peace can last.
"In short, just don't make any big news. Just be an ordinary earl and manage the territory."
Having planned for his future period in this way, Joshua made a conclusion.
So, two months later.
A huge humanoid steel statue resembling a certain lord suddenly appeared overnight just south of New Moldavia, shocking the whole world.
This huge statue depicts an armored warrior standing with a sword. The length and width of the base alone exceed 120 meters and 80 meters respectively, and the height reaches an incredible 280 meters. meters, what’s even more frightening is that the statue that appeared overnight is made of some kind of heavy alloy, and the surface has no lines and is almost absolutely smooth... Not to mention the large amount of materials used, this kind of technical craftsmanship, even if It is the leader in the entire world.
At this, the local residents were naturally shocked and cheered. They were quite emotional. The lord of the North finally remembered that his territory needed a landmark building, and they were full of praise for every detail of the magnificent statue - Molda As a new big city, Via's shortcomings compared with other traditional big cities are its heritage and reputation. Now, the sudden appearance of the huge lord statue has undoubtedly made up for this shortcoming, allowing local residents to go out. After that, I also had the ability to brag and show off.
And a certain lord was currently rubbing his forehead in distress in the hall of his lord's mansion.
"Damn it, it's all the fault of No. 3 and Yingying's instigation. They accidentally made it too big... It's just because of some distracting thoughts, the deviation is so big."
He looked at the mist of steel power in his hand with concern: "It seems that there is still a long way to go before we can create a melting core in a single thought."
In the Lord's Mansion, the rest and training of the warriors continued. At this time, in the north of Winter Castle Academy, in a small camp in the vast sea.
The cold and tragic wind beat back and forth against the tent's leather walls, and the cold frost and snow particles passed through the gaps and fell into the firewood pile in the tent. The originally rather dim flames suddenly began to sway and hiss, and Five young men with serious faces sat beside the fire, staring at the flames that were about to extinguish.
They were wearing black wintercastle academy standard windproof cloaks, with long swords, staffs, quivers and long bows hanging on their waists and backs respectively. The runes on the iron blocks at the cuffs flashed, as if they were conveying something. Information to distant places.
These five people are the five named disciples that Joshua accepted before, the human brother and sister Ivan, Amira and their hundred dragons, the dwarf Nick, the knight's daughter Karin, and the Empire Seven who recently joined this team. Prince Alva. These five people are all senior students at Winterfort College. Compared with the quite heavy theoretical courses in previous years, they have a lot more free time to be mastered by themselves. Many teachers no longer teach basic knowledge, but It releases numerous practical tasks and topics so that these students can experience the power of extraordinary power in combat and natural threats.
Now, the five-person team has accepted the task of a certain instructor who specializes in dragon training and comes to the vast sea at the end of the world to find the current accurate position of the South Magnetic Pole, which is gradually changing.
Because the flames were rekindled and the world was revived, the originally stagnant magnetic field of the world began to gradually change. The change of magnetic poles was one of them. In the original Moldavia, the aurora was actually invisible, but now Moldavia only has the inner city. If the lights are not bright enough, you can often see turquoise or golden aurora swaying in the sky. There is no doubt that this is a major event that can affect the entire world. It is extremely important information for many mages who study the structure of the world itself.
Although it is said that the two deans of Winter Castle Academy can almost calculate the specific position of the magnetic pole in an instant through their own power, in order to train the students and let them experience it for themselves, neither of them took action. Instead, publish tasks and let everyone choose to complete them.
"It's said to be the Uncensored Sea, but it turns out that almost everywhere is an ice sheet, and only a little bit of water is not frozen."
Before the fire, Nick the dwarf murmured to himself: "There are icebergs everywhere, and God knows when the ice under our feet will break. What kind of magnetic pole are we looking for in a place like this? Sure enough, we have gone crazy."
Because the places where dwarves live are in hot lava areas or dark underground, he is extremely disgusted with this extremely cold place with full daylight for half a year. Nick, who has been in the Vast Sea for more than 20 days, now He was really going crazy. No matter how strong he was, he could not withstand this kind of physical and psychological torture.
"You have to continue even if you are crazy!"
But on the other side, as the team leader, Ivan shook his head firmly. The young hunter with platinum hair casually added a fire to the fire, then looked around at his four teammates and said firmly: " We are just looking for a magnetic pole in the ice field... We have killed many dragon beasts from the original world, how can we still be defeated by the wind and snow?"
"And most importantly, are you willing to lose to a teenage girl?"
As soon as he mentioned this little girl, an inexplicable motivation suddenly burst out in the entire team.
"Yeah...how can we lose to this guy who comes later!"
"Damn it, we were the ones who came first!"
Amira and Karin gritted their teeth at the same time, their eyes revealing a strong desire to fight. Although Alva on the side did not speak, their hearts were also full of unwillingness and dissatisfaction.
Lisa Kronos, this is the common opponent and competitive goal of the five people in the team.
This mysterious little girl, who was brought back by everyone’s master, the legendary strongman, Joshua Van Radcliffe two months ago, entered Winterfort Academy under the recommendation of the warrior. At the beginning, The five people in the small team also took good care of this little girl with dragon horns and tail because they were all close to Joshua. They knew at a glance that she was not an ordinary human being. They even helped Lisa learn the basics of extraordinary skills. Knowledge, assisting in learning various magic skills.
The result... was that they were quickly surpassed and defeated.
It’s not that Lisa is very strong—although the dragon girl’s talent and cultivation techniques are first-class, she can pass the mist of divine mist test, and the five members of the first team who also learn the techniques taught by Joshua can also She is not a soft persimmon. In fact, because the world is different, Lisa, whose strength is slightly reduced, is at a comprehensive disadvantage when facing the first team with more combat experience and older age. Basically everyone in the team, including Alva, who had just joined the team not long ago, was able to deal with the dragon girl's simple attacks with one hand... but the prerequisite was that the dragon girl was alone.
But how could Lisa fight alone? Behind her, there is a former leader of the Balrog Syndicate!
As a former extreme level demon, although the Syndicate lamented that the strength of Joshua's other disciples was quite extraordinary, they could still accurately grasp the weaknesses of each person in the five-person team. Under the guidance of this old man, Lisa each A leapfrog challenge, and after a hard battle, he successfully defeated five seniors! Under the rather malicious hint of the Syndicate, the rather naive Lisa also told them that she was Joshua's only official disciple.
"Brothers and sisters, please work hard! One day, you will also become Master Joshua's true disciples!"
Lisa just sincerely cheered her up, but in the hearts of Ivan and others, it was as painful as being stabbed hundreds of times by a knife - they had worked hard for so long, and now they are still Joshua's registered disciples, and a sudden appearance The little girl who was born suddenly became an official disciple... This is really shocking!
"Could it be that...that rumor is true? There is a rumor that the lord admires young girls..."
Joshua, who was criticized for his death in the hearts of his disciples, actually simply forgot to tell everyone in the first team that they had become regular members a long time ago. He always thought that he could learn the skills he taught Xiaocheng Yi. Wan, Amira, Karin, Nick and Alva have already had the consciousness to become his true disciples, but the warrior has forgotten that sometimes a simple acknowledgment can inspire people more than any words.
And now, Lisa has also taken on the same task as Ivan and others to detect the specific location of Mycroft's world magnetic pole. They have become a complete competitive relationship, but if Joshua sees Lisa and the The healthy competition among the members of the first team may be deliberately concealed to allow a little vitality among the young people.
Just when everyone was working hard and improving themselves during this peaceful time, they were at the gate of New Moldavia City—which is the collective name of the original main city of Moldavia and the four new satellite cities. , Joshua, who was staring at the huge metal statue he had accidentally created, suddenly felt a wave of fluctuations coming from the distance that made him feel a little palpitated.
It was not the alert caused by the approach of a powerful force, nor the excitement of burning fighting spirit, but a more ordinary, more ordinary feeling, as if it was a resonance...
Joshua shifted his gaze to the direction from which the fluctuation came.
"Is it the fluctuation of No. 1?"
Overslept...
