Soul of Burning Steel

?

Late night.

The sudden heavy rain mixed with ice crystals fell from the high sky, while the overcast cloud obscured the starlight and enveloped the mountains and the earth. Pouring rain mixed with ice and snow filled the sky and the earth, so that within the huge range of vision, there was a gray cloud of rain and fog.

Among the thick dark clouds, purple-blue thunder flickered, and dull thunder sound came in waves, like the hammering of a huge drum.

——Suddenly, a huge thunder sounded violently, and the lightning broke through the sky, illuminating the surrounding like the sun in daylight.

Through this light, under the shadow of rain and fog, one can vaguely see a majestic giant city built between three mountain peaks.

The year of the star pendant 831, December 21, 8:35 pm, the Northern Empire, the capital.

The three black mountain peaks are like barriers separating the heavens and the earth, cutting off the world from this side to the other side. Behind this solid rock barrier is a huge city with white walls. It sits between the mountains and on the rocks. And around this huge city, there is a fortress and a mage tower on top of each of the three mountain peaks. They tower high into the clouds, like the strongest Guantian horns, protecting the most important city of the human empire.

In the darkness of the night, white pyroxene lamps illuminate the streets, like fog and freezing rain falling, and a thin layer of ice on the streets. The pedestrians on the streets look in a hurry, as if they want to go home as soon as possible, but in order not to fall, they Still have to walk carefully on the ice.

A man covered in white hooded robe walks slowly down the street. He is tall, with three gemstone rings on his exposed hands, and a little wrinkles on his skin, which shows his age.

The man noticed the plight of the pedestrians around him, shook his head and chuckled, muttering to himself in a low voice: "This weather, the road is really hard to walk"

He read a few words in his mouth, and then gently tapped towards the void, and the magic power suddenly began to fluctuate. In an instant, the nameless spell bypassed the warning circle all over the city, covering the surrounding ground within thousands of meters. When the ice layer was dissolved, all the pedestrians around were surprised to find that they no longer need to move forward with their hands and feet, but can move forward with peace of mind.

.

After solving the problem that plagued many people, the figure under the hood nodded slightly, and then he continued to walk towards the center of this huge city, a magnificent palace made of basalt.

That is the residence of the imperial emperor-Morlai Palace.

The Palace of Morlaix is ​​like a city within a city, surrounded by solid walls. At the entrance, there are countless black-armored knights patrolling. The armors and weapons on their bodies are all first-class quality, and they are carved with the five-star ring representing the royal family. Yang] heraldry, extremely mighty.

Moreover, no matter the guard's manners or demeanor, physique or momentum, they all show that this is a warrior, the elite of the elite.

A man in a white hood and robe came to the gate of the palace. Under the influence of an inexplicable force, rain and ice circumvented his body and slid to the ground. Seeing this unreasonable scene, the guard knights would naturally walk up and ask questions. .

The black-armored knight who took the lead, who seemed to be the captain, walked up to this man. He solemnly and politely said to the man whose face was hidden behind his hood: "This gentleman, here is Royal powerhouse, if there is nothing important, please avoid it."

As he said, he also pointed his finger in a direction: "And it's better not to use spells in the imperial capital, sir, if you want to avoid the rain, you can go to the street management center, where there are free umbrellas."

Hearing this very polite admonition, the person behind the hood seemed a little surprised. He looked at the knight in front of him, with a smile on his face.

"Israel's men are becoming more and more chivalrous... and his father is really different."

A slightly old voice came from the shadow behind the cap. As he spoke, he took off the hood from his head, then revealed white hair and long beard, smiling while standing beside him. The former knights.

When the black-clad knight saw this man's face, he was actually stunned for two seconds. The cold rain fell on his face, which awakened him-a little flustered back, and the knight immediately bowed respectfully. , Whispered: "I wonder if you are here... I'm very sorry! Master, please come in, the emperor is waiting for you in the study!"

When the other knights saw the old man's face, their expressions changed instantly, and they all bowed respectfully.

Patting the leader of the knight on the shoulder, the old man motioned them to get up, and then walked slowly into the palace step by step.

Across the long aisles and gardens, passing by several magnificent statues of ancient emperors, the white-haired old man finally reached the deepest part of this magnificent palace with the respectful greetings of all those who met him, a room with a golden gate. In front of the room.

"Little Israel, I'm here."

Without knocking on the door, the old man was still talking, and opened the door directly in his hand, and the whole person walked in directly.

In the room, several huge and carved fluorites are hung on the ceiling of the hall, glowing like the sun, shining on the whole room, the floor is made of pure white crystal marble, and the walls are huge. The metal bookcase, in the center of this extravagant room, is a desk made of a whole piece of flying cloud wood. A man with dark golden shoulder-length hair is sitting on the seat behind the desk, reading a book silently. This ancient book.

This man is tall, sturdy, handsome and angular, with no expression on his face, but he doesn't feel indifferent. He wears a red luxurious animal skin robe with a mink fur on the edge of the robe. The material of the animal skin and scales is surprisingly taken from the center of a red dragon's chest, the strongest piece of skin

.

He sighed and closed the ancient book in his hand. The man who knew someone was coming outside the room looked up at the door, and said helplessly: "Mr. Nostradamus, you have to knock on the door before entering the room, but you taught me Etiquette."

As he spoke, his voice pulsed with inexplicable power, and a gust of wind blew closed the golden door of the study.

"But I have also taught you--you don't need to be too careful with etiquette among acquaintances."

Without taking the identity of the man in front of him as a thing, the gray-haired old man smiled and walked to the opposite side of the desk. With a wave of his hand, he conjured a soft sheepskin cushion out of thin air, which looked very comfortable. Then he sat straight on the chair, "Too much birth is not a good thing, my emperor."

Israel Diamond, the highest ruler of the Northern Empire shook his head with a wry smile, facing the old man in front of him, his mentor and guide for many years, he could not show the majesty of the emperor—— This middle-aged man with dark blond hair swept the ancient books aside on the table, and then said straightforwardly: "Well, my Royal Mage Association president, the chief * teacher of the empire, you will inform me four hours ago. Said that there was a major event, and the result is only now coming to me...Don’t you think you need to give an explanation?"

The old man named Nostradamus frowned, his expression looked a little strange: "Your Majesty, do you really not know?"

"I haven't had time to care about other news lately."

Israel shook his head, he clapped his hands, and two magic circles appeared on the desk. After a flash of light, two cups of hot tea appeared in front of his eyes, and he handed a cup of tea to the white hair in front of him. The old man, the emperor took a sip of tea by himself, and then sighed: "The three legions surrounded the orc king's court for a long time but couldn't attack it for a long time. I even plan to go by myself, and there are so many dark tides suddenly set off in the territory. Focus on other things."

"Your Majesty, you don't care about Kuroshio."

He simply denied what the man in front of him said. Nostradamus straightened his white hooded robe and said solemnly: "The black dragon that set off the dark tide arrived in the north, but you didn't care, and didn't even send a person. Go and kill it."

When someone questioned his decision, even if the other party was his own teacher, he would be angry. What's more, Israel, as the emperor of the empire, didn't like others to question his will. He said coldly, "Teacher, you are like this." The accusation is completely wrong. As early as a few weeks ago, I ordered the inspector Munster to bring a royal treasure dragon stone to Secretary Radcliffe. With the help of this thing, Radek Li Fuqing's strength, not to mention the Kuroshio and the golden mid-level dragon at best, even a dragon with a golden peak will fall there."

"If that thing is indeed a dragon, it is true-but who told you it was a dragon?"

The white-haired old man shook his head. He didn't know where to take out a white report, densely written with a series of formulas and words, and also printed with a bright red seal: "The research of the Mage Association proves that the empire has been black recently. The frenzied phenomenon in the tide is not only caused by the scales of the black dragon-among them, there is an obvious chaotic power!"

Speaking of this, Nostradamus said in an unequivocal tone: "That's a chaos monster! Think about it, what does a chaos monster go to the Northland for?"

Israel frowned. His Majesty tapped the Feiyun wooden desk table top with his fingers, and made a rhythmic noise: "The land of the town, the gatekeeper Radcliffe's house... It is going to attack Molda. Via, open the space-time channel?"

"No, it has opened a space-time channel."

With a sneer, the white-haired old man looked helpless: "My majesty, because of your father, you are too concerned about the war with the orcs, but in fact this is unnecessary. The orcs have not been up until now. We recovered in the second war, but we have cultivated for many years, even if it is delayed, they will undoubtedly be defeated.

! "

"Only chaos, only chaos is the only enemy worthy of fear in all human worlds!"

"...You're right, teacher, the orcs are not worth mentioning, it's because I'm too obsessed... Wait, the door of time and space has been opened?"

His Majesty the Emperor of the empire was not angry with these words. He knew that his teacher was telling the truth, but suddenly realizing what his teacher had just said, Israel's expression immediately became serious.

He didn't doubt what his teacher said, but angrily said, "The door of time and space is open?! Damn, the group of people in [Shadow] and the inspector, what are they doing? Why don't I know such an important thing? !?"

Even as the Emperor of the Empire, a legendary powerhouse, he couldn’t always pay attention to everything in the empire, so after Israel ascended the throne, he immediately formed the intelligence organization of Shadow Shadow, and immediately controlled it. The system of noble courts collected information for him... Now, because of his incompetence and malfeasance, this kind emperor is really angry.

"No, there are only five Golden Ranks among the four leaders of the Northland, and the one from the Wilson family has been beheaded by the young heir of the Radcliffe family-they can't stop Chaos at all. The tide!"

It was not when I was angry, when I thought of this, the emperor with dark blond hair stood up, and the terrifying power of will surged out, even turned into substance, and all the objects in the entire study were still in the original. At the place, even the dust is still as if solidified in amber, he said solemnly: "The highest level natural disaster of the catastrophe level, I need to immediately mobilize the elite troops to suppress it!"

"You are wrong, Israel, there are always people in this world who are beyond common sense."

Not being oppressed by the legendary powerhouse in front of him, the will of his own students, Nostradamus, the chief teacher of the Royal Mage Association of the Empire, stood up, and the white-haired old man said in a deep voice: "Just like me back then. The three shaman legions that led the wizards to defeat the orcs in a row are just like you were able to successfully break through the legend in the past of the orc emperor with one man and one ride, and there will always be people who can do things that ordinary people cannot do—— The gate of time and space has been closed!"

In the gaze of His Majesty’s questioning, the white-haired old man said with emotion: “At 10:20 this morning, the Space-Time Inspection Instrument of the Mage Association detected that there were huge space-time fluctuations in the north of Moldova more than three hours ago. The center drums ~www.novelmtl.com~ Almost forty minutes later, when I was about to inform you, the inspector said that the time-space fluctuations had stopped and the time-space door was completely closed."

"Because of the occasional delay of the instrument, I thought it was a false alarm at first, but after multiple verifications, I determined that the time-space door was really opened and all nodes were forcibly broken and forced to close. "

"...This is really an incredible event."

Sitting back in the seat, Israel sighed: "The gate of time and space was destroyed in the fourth hour after it was opened... What a great achievement... Then teacher, what are you here for?"

"There is always someone going to seal the otherworldly time and space gate."

When the old man replied, he showed a smile: "But I don't worry about sending anyone to send this kind of big event, so I'm going to take a trip by myself."

"I can break into the Black Forest among the beasts, and forcibly close the time-space door...The little guy who has done such a big thing, I can't wait to see and see."
