Soul of Burning Steel

The Abyss of Anos, the waters of the Black Sea, the core hall of the Ark of Light.

"A sea dragon?"

Accompanied by the soft footsteps, a somewhat drunken, somewhat curious young voice came from outside the hall: "Where did you find a dragon knight?"

Before the voice was over, the owner of the voice walked into the hall, and he complained with a slight dissatisfaction: "If you have me, why are you looking for someone else?"

Qiao Xiuya turned her head in the direction of the voice, and her brow couldn't help but pick.

The owner of the voice outside the door is a teenager who looks at most fourteen or five years old. He has healthy, wheat-colored skin. His upper body is wearing black animal leather armor, and his lower body is specially tailored shorts for easy movement. Two slender and straight legs.

It seemed that because he had drunk a lot of wine, his face was a little red, and while complaining, he could vaguely see a small tiger tooth. The young man noticed that everyone present was looking at him, and he suddenly became sober. Then, he turned his head to look at Joshua, and greeted the soldier vigorously: "Hello, newcomer, so are you." I was invited by these non-drinking Puritans to help...Wow!"

Without any psychological preparation, he met Joshua’s eyes head-on, and the boy was immediately shocked by the sudden pressure for a few seconds. After being frightened by a lot of drunkenness, he immediately took two steps back according to his physical instinct and hid in the hall. Outside.

"Head Robzek..."

When the heartbeat calmed down, the young man stuck his head out from behind the door. He stared at the warrior cautiously, and asked the silver-haired knight next to him in surprise: "You, are you here to invite a super-intelligent dragon lord? Dragon? It's too powerful..."

Obviously, he mistook the aura of despair on Joshua for Longwei, and the black aura was also nearby, so he regarded the warrior as a huge dragon transformed into a human form. "

Everyone present laughed because of the boy's reaction. The three people in the church had spent some time with Joshua and adapted to the pressure of the soldiers, although they would still be slightly surprised when they met again. , But definitely more than just being shocked like this young man named Hill.

"No, as long as you are not drunk, you can tell that what you see is a real human being.

After the silver-haired Paladin laughed, he shook his head and said sternly, "Mr. Hill, although it is a rare windless period in the Abyss of Anos, we can relax, but we still have to make sure that we are able to cope with it. In the perfect state of any crisis, alcohol can be drunk, but you must never get drunk. If you are still intemperate next time, we will have to lock down the material warehouse for you."

While Robzek taught the boy, Joshua looked at each other with a little interest.

On both sides of the youth's delicate face, the sharp ears that showed the identity of the elves were trembling gently, and the long black hair on the back was tied into a ponytail and draped over the shoulders. This is also a common style of the Far South Elves.

The elves are indeed a race of handsome men and women. If the appearance of a teenager is scored, he can get eight points. This is because he is drunk at the moment and his clothes are a little untidy, but what interests the warrior is the one on Hill. A trace of Longwei different from black.

"The elf ranger who works part-time as a dragon knight?"

After Robzek was finished, Joshua spoke directly: "Your mount is a sea sword dragon with thunder attributes, the female dragon, the strength should be high-level gold, and it should also incorporate a bit of the blood of the giant island whale. The bottom of the ship is It should be your mount that helps the Ark move forward."

"Great... great!"

The elf boy could not help but whispered at a glance, but after hearing the words behind the warrior, he blinked and shook his head with a smile: "But there is a mistake. I am not a ranger, I am also a dragon knight. Sir, I am a druid of the sea, and Fenner is not my mount, but my animal companion."

"Druid?" This time it was Joshua's turn to be a little surprised. The warrior focused his attention and looked at Hill from start to finish again: "This is really unexpected."

At this moment, he discovered that a little magic rune could be vaguely seen on the waist, abdomen and inner thighs of the elven boy. That is exactly the totem magic pattern that druids often have. They can use the power of these magic tattoos to make wild changes. Body or use natural magic.

However, in general, few druids will cover these magic patterns so tightly. They have always been eager for everyone to appreciate the wild tattoos on their bodies.

"It's so beautiful."

But at this time, Hill had already walked to the black side. The elf boy touched the neck of the half dragon without seeing it, and then said briskly, "Such smooth lines, so beautiful." Body... It looks like you are a little uncomfortable, but it doesn't matter."

Before he finished speaking, an emerald green light pattern suddenly appeared in front of him. The light pattern swirled in the air and gathered into a light cluster. Within the light cluster, natural forces surged, and fluctuations filled with vitality continued to gush out from it. .

High-level divine art, natural blessing, Hill used this extremely practical natural divine art on Black in just one breath, causing fresh power fluctuations to directly flow into the half-dragon's body.

Black: "Roar?!"

The moment the wave entered his body, the dragon felt a lot more energetic.

Forging black dragons can transform water and fire elements into their own life force, while the flying of a floating warship in the sky makes the black with the blood of the ancient dragon so uncomfortable, mainly because the fire and water elements in mid-air are too scarce. , Making it unable to complete its life cycle, and even if it had, most of the elemental power was taken over by the Mana Furnace Heart.

Moreover, the transmission of a floating warship, for Hei, is equivalent to human beings without an adaptation process, directly transmitting to a plateau with thin air, which will naturally be extremely uncomfortable.

If there is no changeable pendant, Hei has kept that huge figure in mid-air for a few more days. He may be life-threatening. Even if he has returned to the surface now, he still has some sequelae, which makes the half vigorous in the past. The dragon was a little sick, but now, after receiving the blessing of the young druid, it became energetic in an instant.

"Mr. Hill, if you are tired, go to your room and rest."

Seeing Hill yawned after casting the spell, she kept standing aside. Sister Saya, who was studying the crystal shield in front of her, reminded softly: "There may be danger in the Abyss of Anos at any time. I hope you can always guarantee A good condition."

"Okay." Hill nodded happily in response, and Hill did not hesitate, and immediately turned and walked outside the gate. When he walked in front of Qiao Xiuya, he paused slightly, and then reminded with kindness: "Unknown dragon knight, take care of your dragon. It is now in a bottleneck period of breaking through the high-end gold. It is like the previous state, which will greatly delay its advancement speed."

"Your opinion is very useful." Hearing the other's reminder, Joshua turned to look at the spirited half-long, and nodded cautiously: "You can call me Joshua, thank you."

"It's nothing, after all, I am also a dragon knight." As he walked outside the door, Hill smiled relaxedly: "After all, the golden high-order is for dragons, but it is a boundary ridge, especially the one like you and my partner. Kind of mixed blood."

"If they can cross the past, they can go further. If they can't, they can only stay where they are today. In this way, they will be very sad."

After speaking, he also left the core hall, and with the soft footsteps gradually moving away, Hill also left this floor and returned to his room.

"No wonder you are so polite to him."

The elf boy left the hall, and Joshua touched his chin, looking thoughtfully at the spirited Hei who was wagging his tail: "If he is not strong, he should only have a silver rank, even if he counts the totem magic pattern on his body. , You can only protect yourself in the battle of the gold level, but this superb natural magic and knowledge, combined with a golden high-level sea dragon partner, is indeed a very powerful help."

"Young man? Joshua, you should have spent a long time with the dwarves in the Northland, and have forgotten something."

Hearing Joshua’s words, Loranda couldn’t help but laugh. He shook his head and waved the wine glass in his hand: “Hill’s age is older than us, and he’s younger than Robzek. I know that the appearance of the pure-blood elves is at least 30 or 40 years old. What else can I use without a husband? And Hill is a member of the Sea Dragon Knights in the Eastern Plains. This time he was dragged by the church and traveled a long way. It’s just for us to explore the waters of the Abyss of Anos, so we must be polite."

"Although his strength is a bit weak, he is indeed a good player in exploring the sea, and the sea druid can foresee storms and ocean currents. This time without wind is also Hill's budget."

Robzek also nodded in response: "His sea dragon partner can scare away a lot of giant ocean beasts, which saves us a lot of time. After all, our goal is the central maelstrom, not to hunt these chaos-infested ones. Horror creatures."

"Who else did you invite this time."

Joshua raised a little interest in the companions who traveled this time. According to the Pope Igor, they explored the Abyss of Anos four times before inviting them to sail together. Naturally, these four times were without exception. Failed, and stimulated by this, the Seven Gods Church will look for other strong people in the mainland and come together to explore this chaotic sea.

"Not many. If you count you and Hill, there are only three people in total."

Robzek seemed to have guessed that the soldiers would ask this question. After looking at each other with Loranda and Saya, he immediately replied in a serious manner: "I will introduce another person to you when I have time later, but Now, we happen to have something to ask you."

The top of the ark.

The Ark Time is completely different from the ship in the usual sense. Its shape and name are the same. It is square and square, similar to the shape of the merger of two trapezoids. This type of ship will undoubtedly suffer a lot when sailing. Influence, but the powerful magical technique allows it to overcome the negative factors.

The powerful imprisonment technique covers the entire hull, making it almost completely ignorant of the nearly ten-meter-high waves in the Black Sea. The sacred rune containing infinite mystery can even convert the impact of the sea into the driving force of its own actions, making itself The speed is getting faster and faster.

However, such a powerful ability naturally has a very high price. The energy consumption of Time is several times that of ordinary magic ships. Even if the Church of the Seven Gods has its own set of special magic furnace core technology, it can reduce consumption. This level of energy consumption cannot be ignored, so in order to use it in key places as much as possible to terminate the contract, the church needs to find another energy source to replace the magic furnace core in normal use.

The huge divine magic array with a diameter of 20 meters gleams with sacred light, just like in the core hall, gold and white crystals are placed on the nodes of the array, conforming to the power of the holy light. Flowing and flickering, and at the very center of this magical circle, a half-human-sized round gem is floating in the air, slowly rotating, releasing hot positive energy like the sun.

Although it is daytime, the Abyss of Anos is still covered by haze, and the surroundings are as dark as night, but the light from this gem illuminates the sea within a radius of thousands of meters, making it impossible for the existence of all evil creatures to escape.

"Pioneering star, you actually borrowed this thing too!"

Following the footsteps of the three church members to the top of the ark, Joshua couldn't help but sigh with emotion after seeing this familiar gem in front of him.

You know, this fusion star is a treasure used by the Northern Empire’s royal family to decorate the Hall of Shenghui. It is also a symbol of the Empire’s victory over the orcs and becoming the hegemon of the northern mainland. This kind of thing can be borrowed. I really don’t know what the price has been paid. .

Because there was no crisis, not even rain and big waves, the magic circle of the magical magic circle did not run fast. Layers of runes like gears slowly turned and turned, guiding the endlessness of the stars of the fusion. The positive energy of's spread to the surroundings of the ark, dispelling a faint trace of chaotic power.

"Last time we explored, we have reached the deepest part of the Abyss of Anos, and we are about to approach the Central Maelstrom."

Taking a step forward, Robzek looked at the magical circle in front of him, and said with a heavy tone to Joshua: "But in the end, we fell short, and the too strong abyss power drew the dark fog and made the Ark lost. Direction...Due to the exhaustion of resources, we had to flee in embarrassment and prepare for the next exploration."

On the side, the great nun also echoed softly: "The Pyx Star is already one of the most powerful positive energy treasures on the Mykrov Continent, but even it can’t protect the Ark from moving forward in such a mist. It’s not its power. It is not strong enough, but it has to fight against huge waves and heavy rain. So after thinking for a while, the church will follow Loranda’s suggestion and invite you to come."

The last time Joshua was in the imperial capital, he helped the church and the Royal Mage Association expel the mist of God Evil. For Robzek and Saya who did not understand this aspect, the mist of God Evil and the black mist in the depths of the Abyss of Anos It's almost the same thing.

"So, you invited me to come here just to make me a torch to illuminate the darkness?" Hearing this, Joshua understood, he shrugged and joked: "The human light bulb is intended to let me use the sky. The power of order in the Blue Orb can break through the fog of the abyss? Indeed, the power of order can expel the power of the abyss better than the positive energy of the Pyxi Star."

"Of course, it's not just that."

At this time, Loranda’s voice sounded. As someone who has lived with the warrior for a long time, the Paladin certainly knows what Joshua wants: "Don’t worry, my friend, in the Abyss of Anos There are many eroded ocean behemoths."

After speaking, he closed his mouth, and of course the soldier understood the other party's meaning and showed a knowing smile.

"No matter what, Lord Earl, please try to control this circle first."

On the side, Saye stretched out her slender palm and released a circle of holy light fluctuations. She was modifying some of the structures in the magical magic circle out of thin air. After a few seconds, it was originally like a circle of gears. The rune enveloped by the platform separated a passage.

"How to control?"

Walking forward without hesitation, Joshua stepped into the formation, and he immediately felt as if he was under warm sunlight: "Although I know a little magic, I only know how to destroy it. "

This is the big truth. The soldiers swept through this magical magic circle and immediately noticed the seventeen flaws in its operation. If you give him more time, he might find more.

"Very simple, Lord Earl."

The big nun's soft voice came from outside the circle: "Just stand at the core of the circle."

This is indeed very simple, the formation is actually not big, after a second, Joshua stood in the center of the formation, directly below the star of the fusion core.

Suddenly, he frowned.

"This power...something is wrong."

As soon as he stepped into the center of the magic circle, Joshua felt that he had established a wonderful connection with the fragment of the sun above him. The majestic positive energy was controlled by the magical technique and could respond at any time. His thoughts.

But this didn't make him feel that something was wrong. The warrior muttered for a while, then closed his mouth and stopped talking. Instead, he felt the power of the magic circle that made him feel puzzled.

The deeper he explored, the more serious Joshua’s expression became, and it seemed that under his influence, the top layer of the entire Ark suddenly became quiet, leaving only the sea breeze blowing slowly and the murmur of the magical circle running. .

"Perhaps because the Pope's crown is short of time, we haven't discussed our purpose with you in detail."

Nearly ten minutes later, Robzek opened his mouth and broke the silence. This man has silver hair and a straightforward character. He is called a model of a traditional paladin and spoke to him in a pious tone that he has never had before. The warrior explained: "Perhaps it is because you are worried, and you don't believe it, so I want you to come to the Abyss of Anos and witness it with your own eyes.

"No, no need to explain."

Feeling the inside of this circle, UU reading www.uukanshu.com was familiar and unfamiliar with the sacred power, and couldn't help grinning slowly: "I already know what you are going to do."

"I've spent so much time in inviting powerful people from all walks of life to come and help, even at a great price, borrowing the Pyong Star from the imperial royal family, it can't be just to explore the abyss of Anos."

"Not to guard against the attack of the five-color dragons, not to cut off the tentacles that connect the abyss with our world. Igel deserves to be the pope who is known to be the closest to the gods in the past, and what he asked for is truly extraordinary.

On Joshua’s chest, except for the phantom of a cyan orb, endless power of order surging in it, and the soldier turned his head and looked at the three church members who were also smiling, and laughed: " The Church of the Seven Gods really has lofty ambitions. You didn't put the dragon's calamity in your eyes at all. Instead, you planned to use the cracks in the Abyss of Anos as a springboard to counterattack the abyss!"
