Chapter 323

"Are you going to start now?"

Atannis stood up, for the so-called melanosis, in fact, he still had some doubts in his heart. After all, the sudden plague or something was really strange, but this doubt disappeared when he faced the man in front of him.

Joshua is a man who doesn't lie and doesn't lie. He has said many strange and delusional things, but they all come true one by one in the end. If someone else, the old bishop might try, but only Joshua won't.

This is a soldier to trust.

"Almost. I'm in good shape now."

Also standing up, Joshua took a deep breath. The strong fighting spirit centered on the heart, spread to the whole body along with the blood vessels, and a burst of red light flowed around his body. The soldier felt the power in his body, and then looked out of the window and asked, "how's black recently? Why didn't I see it? "

"It's too big to enter the city, so I asked someone to take it to Nier Lindon castle. It's a big place. It's OK to accommodate at least one dragon."

After shaking his head, atannis seemed to have some emotion: "it's getting bigger and bigger. What did you give it to eat recently... By the way, I'll take it out to you first. If you go to the imperial capital directly, it will certainly cause a huge disturbance."

As if suddenly thinking of something, the old bishop immediately turned to the door, he asked Joshua to wait in the room for a moment, and then walked to the stairs.

"It seems that we haven't been idle at all recently."

Looking at the old bishop leaving, Lin, who was sitting on one side, stretched out. The black haired boy said in a long, lazy voice, "really busy."

"Think about it, it's like this..."

Ying is lying on the table, with a soft tone, said: "played for so long, I think I really need to take good care of... To deal with the plague what's not strong."

The expression and manner of the silver haired girl can only be described in one word, that is, tired and lazy.

"Don't worry. We can't deal with pestilence."

Joshua sat back in his chair. He looked at the young girl's tired appearance. Of course, the soldiers understood that it was because the plague could not be cut with weapons, so Ying and Lin were not interested.

After thinking about it for a while, Joshua comforted himself with his two weapons: "the most we can do is to deal with the pestilence in our own territory. If we really want to deal with this invisible disease, it depends on the power of the Empire and the church. It's not up to us."

The reason why the plague broke out on a large scale in the past was that the Dragon disaster blocked the contact between the holy mountain and the outside world, and all kinds of heretics created riots in the refugee tide, which drew the attention of the high-level officials of the far south Kingdom and did not have time to block the epidemic area. In this world, the rabies vaccine appeared at least one or two years earlier, and the pressure of the Dragon disaster was not so great, The holy mountain of the distant sea has not lost contact with the outside world, so it is unknown whether melanosis can cause such great casualties.

Even if he could, it was meaningless. He went to imperial capital to kill this possibility in the cradle. Although Joshua didn't remember how to do the medicine, he knew what the material was! The original special medicine material collection task was the daily routine of all players in the far south area. Even now, he can clearly recall what materials he needed and how much they were.

Soon after, atannis returned to the room.

He was holding a pocket watch in his hand. The watch was silver, and the chain was shining with warm metal light. It looked a little old. The old bishop directly handed the pocket watch to Joshua, and the soldier was not polite, so he took it.

Open it, Joshua found that inside and normal pocket watch, the pointer slowly walking, is the current time.

"Just inject a little magic or fighting spirit. Its function is to block other people's perception of you."

Atannis explained the effect of this pocket watch to Joshua: "although it can't change your appearance, most people can't recall your appearance after being affected by it, and the resentment and chaotic smell on you will be covered up, so at least it won't cause panic."

——But walking around is inevitable.

"Thank you very much."

At that moment, Ying, Lin and atannis all had the illusion that Joshua had disappeared. It was clear that Joshua was standing in front of them, but the idea of "nothing here" was spinning back and forth in his brain.

However, this illusion was only a flash. After that, everything returned to normal. However, the strong sense of existence on the soldiers was weakened. If it used to be like the sun, you can't ignore it as long as you see it, Now Joshua is just an ordinary tall man. Although he is eye-catching, he even looks back, But that's all.[fog pocket watch]

"Not bad."

Seeing the reaction of the crowd, Joshua nodded with satisfaction and said, "thank you, bishop atannis. This is very suitable for me."

"This is the equipment I once used. When I visited the whole empire, I specially customized this magic prop in order not to cause conflicts in some sensitive areas."

The old Bishop gave a little smile. He looked at the pocket watch in Joshua's hand. There was a trace of nostalgia in his eyes: "it has been more than 30 years. I didn't expect that it still works so well. Last time I took it out, I still drank with fan."

Speaking of the name of the last generation of housekeeper of Radcliffe family, the room suddenly quieted down. Atannis also noticed this. He laughed at himself and said: "it's easy to recall the past when you are old."

"The past should be recalled."

Putting the watch in his arms, Joshua shrugged his shoulders, and his eyes also showed a trace of nostalgia. He murmured in a low voice: "yes, the four hundred years of persistence of Radcliffe family has ended, and the chaos in the carlis world has completely dissipated. Everything is over."

Maybe we should go back to the family cemetery of black forest fortress sometime.

——Tell those souls who have passed away that their persistence has been answered.

And just as the Moldavians were ready to go.

Imperial capital, Royal mage Association, No.2 large underground laboratory.

In the center of the solemn and cold steel hall, stands a huge square crystal cover, which is tens of meters high. The crystal cover is full of gray and strange fog.

This fog obscures all vision, even if there are dozens of high-power positive energy Dharma arrays around to emit a steady stream of light, there is no way to purify them and see the existence behind them.

It can be seen that the fog seems to have an unknown source, and its concentration is increasing bit by bit. If the high concentration of positive energy had not offset some, the fog might have become black.

Around the crystal hood, there are seven white robed mages with powerful magic breath. They are watching this scene and discussing with each other in a low voice.

"Ordinary positive energy and holy light can not be purified completely, but can only contain the fog released from the Erebus box."

An old man with a low voice and a serious face said to the other mages around him: "there are only ten days left before the three-month period given by the emperor. If we can't resolve the fog and open the box of erebos, the Empire will hand it over to the fools with eyes above the top of the eastern guantian white tower according to the agreement."

"At that time, not to mention his Majesty's anger, the funds of the association would be reduced, and we would certainly be regarded as waste and hung on the stigma pillar."

"But we haven't been able to do it so far!"

Another middle-aged mage, who looked terrible, frowned and said, "the fog is chaotic inside. No matter what method we use, we can't get close to its center. Although we use white crystal to isolate the fog, many experiments can't even do the first step. How can we open the secret box of its center?"

Other mages all agree with each other. Although they are all proud mages, the research without clue and achievements in the past two and a half months has made people begin to doubt their intelligence quotient. In fact, there were nearly 20 mages working together on this subject, but now there are only seven.

The box of erebos. The name was repeated silently in his heart, and the old mage's face became more ugly.

This strange object comes from the underground of the destroyed Orc King's court.

It was not long ago that the empire made great efforts to completely exterminate the orcs who had suffered for hundreds of years. The orc royal court was burned in the fire. In the excavation after the war, a knight found a very hidden underground tunnel in the middle of the ruins of the royal court.

The length of the tunnel can't be calculated, and it is extremely curved. It leads to the deep underground. During the exploration, people found that there are countless strange murals on both sides of the tunnel, which are completely different from the totem style commonly used by orcs, as if they were the product of another civilization.

After studying the mural, the military mage thought that it was not the style of the orc extinct Centaur, but another new race creation that had never appeared on the mainland, which immediately caused a sensation in the academic circles - under the orc court, there was a brand new and unknown race remains.Within a few days, mages all over the world who are interested in studying ancient civilization came to the site of ORC King's court. Among them, there are many powerful members like guantian White Pagoda and Qiyao Council. Even the Empire has to give them face.

With the support of many forces, the large-scale excavation started immediately. After making preparations and walking at least 10 kilometers underground along the tunnel, the mages came to the end of the tunnel - a huge underground cave.

The interior of the dark cave is full of rotten and disgusting smell. Through the exploration of various kinds of magic, the mages found that there are rotten and even petrified bones all over it. Everyone agreed that this is the sacrificial place of a certain race.

After sorting out these bones, the mages found that this is indeed a new species.

After restoring the shape of these bones by magic, these new creatures are divided into two categories. One is tall, with a height of more than three meters, while the other is rare, with more robust physique, two heads and natural casting ability.

Double headed is obviously the top of the race, controlling other single headed individuals. Most of the corpses are single headed. They are obviously sacrificial offerings.

In the center of the cave, above a stone altar, there is a black box that seems to be soaked with countless blood.

It is the box of Erebus.

The box of erebos was normal at the beginning, until one of the mages who held it was injured by accident, and the blood touched it. The black box that absorbed the blood began to release a continuous stream of fog. The fog was so corrosive and confusing that it could not be penetrated by magic or fighting. It killed a lot of people on the spot, They even almost closed the exit of the underground cave. The mages on the scene could not stop it by any means, so they were forced to put it into the crystal cover to seal it and sent it back to the imperial capital all the way.

In this process, the mages from guantianbai pagoda contributed a lot. Therefore, for geographical reasons, the chance to study the black box was given to the Empire first. If the Empire failed to produce results, it was given to guantianbai pagoda, and the black box was named "erebos" because it could release black fog.

As an ancient race offering sacrifices to the whole nation, both the Empire and the guantianbaita believed that the box of erebos contained a profound mystery. If we can analyze it, it will undoubtedly enhance our own strength. Apart from other things, the fog that can not be penetrated by magic is of great value in sneaking and concealing.

"Maybe we should go to the successor of the CAOS, Brandon CAOS, who has a great power of purification."

A mage put forward his opinion. He seemed to have wanted to say for a long time that he didn't speak because of some reasons, but now it's the deadline, and he can't bear it: "I know that you have a bad relationship with Nostradamus, and you have prejudice against his students, but now it's not the time to pay attention to this."

"... you're right."

After taking a deep breath, the old Mage at the head seemed to be a little annoyed when he heard the name of Nostradamus, but he soon calmed down: "my personal face, of course, can't match the face of the imperial mage Association."

After a pause, he whispered, "please come."
