Chapter 329

With a slight sigh, the owner of the voice, Nostradamus, came into the lounge.

The robe on his body was flowing with a slight blue light. As the blue light swept by, the frost in the hall evaporated out of thin air, and the flying tables, chairs and books all returned to their original positions. After the whole hall was restored, the white haired old mage turned his head and stared at Joshua and said, "long time no see, Joshua. I haven't seen you for a while. I didn't attend the celebration, No one answered your communication. Where have you been during this time? "

Nostradamus said this with a trace of complaint. At the beginning, it was he who recommended Joshua to participate in the celebration. The old mage wanted to take this opportunity to introduce the soldiers to some of his old friends. As a result, during the one and a half weeks of the celebration, he could not find Joshua at all. Neither prophecy nor astrology guidance was useful, let alone magic communication, The whole soldier seems to have disappeared from the world.

"It's hard to say, master Nostradamus. You may not believe it. I went against a group of stones."

Joshua showed his hand. He stood up and shrugged helplessly. What he said was really true. Whether it was the stone devil or the star of annihilation, it was all a group of stones in the final analysis. Thinking of this, the soldier could not help but sigh with sincere emotion: "they are really hard to deal with."

"Well, some special stone elements are a little hard to deal with, but dimore... How can you be here?"

With a blink of an eye, Nostradamus misunderstood that Joshua had gone to the earth element world, but he didn't care about it. After all, the celebration was over. The old mage turned his head, looked at the frowning second prince, and sighed: "I know, you must have started first, right?"

"Master..."

Dimore answered in a low voice. He didn't look as confident as before - not because he lost to Joshua, but because

"Don't explain, little dimore. I know the character of your delmondes."

Nostradamus said angrily and funny, he seems to be really not surprised by this incident: "you are the same as your father. When you are interested, you don't care to have a fight. One is in your own study, the other is in the Royal Library... If it's not for the big noise, I will notice that the library will be demolished."

"No, we will grasp the strength..."

"Your grasp of strength is just like before?"

……

Seeing that dimore was scolded to admit his mistake, the corner of Joshua's mouth was slightly raised. The Archmage was his Majesty's teacher, and even fought together in the battlefield. In terms of seniority, all the royal family should be obedient students in front of him.

In later generations, dimore has always appeared as a majestic and frightening emperor. To some extent, in order to resist the invasion of the abyss, his behavior is no different from that of a tyrant. It is indeed rare to see him eat in front of Nostradamus and can only bow his head and be scolded.

When he was almost finished reprimanding dimer, the Archmage turned to look at Joshua. He wanted to say something, but at last he just sighed, as if with emotion: "when I first saw you, you were fighting with Brandon... Joshua, do you like fighting so much?"

"It's no harm fighting every day. It's so interesting."

Pressing the shoulders of Ying and Lin on the left and right sides, Joshua replied seriously, but then he quickly shook his head: "however, it's not a fight, it's a competition, that's the level of play... I believe you can see that, indeed."

Hearing Joshua's words, Nostradamus frowned and observed. There was a flash of light in his eyes, which seemed to solidify some exploration magic. A few seconds later, the old mage's pupil widened, and there was a light blue wave flowing inside. He was shocked and murmured: "you have broken through the limit, and arrived at an area that can't be measured!"

In his eyes, Joshua's whole body exchanges energy with the magic in the atmosphere all the time, like a towering tree, constantly absorbing the power that is beneficial to him and discharging the energy that is useless to him. In his strong body, the blood rushes like the Yangtze River, making a rumbling sound.

If only so, it can only show that the other party's physical quality is strong, breathing method has been deep into the bone marrow instinct, but the slow, but no attenuation, almost endless physical strength enhancement, is the most shocking thing for Nostradamus.

"The ultimate intention of power!"

it is beyond logic and above reason!

Shocked by the speed of Qiao Xiuya's breakthrough, in such a short period of time, the old mage also quickly made up a series of plots. For example, in the two weeks after Qiao Xiuya's disappearance, maybe he just felt that his breakthrough was imminent, so he simply closed the door and closed all communication with the outside world.No wonder the celebration didn't take part in and no one called. This is really normal. No one wants to be disturbed by others when they break through. No matter how big the celebration is, it's not as important as stepping into the sacred road... However, against the stone, it's not really going to break through the earth element world, is it?

"If you have time, of course you can. Congratulations and I'll be happy to accept it."

Shaking his head, he stopped the old mage's congratulatory action. Originally, Joshua's calm face became serious: "but now, it's time to get down to business... I came from the north. Don't you think I just want to see you and show my strength?"

"Of course not... Just because there is no one here, it's OK to say it here."

On one side, demore, who had been reprimanded for a long time, was still immersed in the shock of Joshua's present intention. Hearing this, he subconsciously narrowed his eyes and prepared to turn away. However, Nostradamus raised his hand to stop him, shook his head and said in a relaxed tone: "stay here, you are the successor of this country, you should know something."

oh Joshua looked at both of them with great interest, and he was thinking in his heart: "is this the right time?"

So why did later Israel die suddenly without leaving any will? If we really don't plan to make the Grand Prince as the successor, we should pave the way for dimore now.

Joshua vaguely guessed a possibility, but now is not the time to think about it. He looked at the serious old mage, and then said something about St. Lauren's church, the plague of those heretics.

Nostradamus's expression was very serious. Although dimore was listening, his face was full of incredible expression. By contrast, the old mage showed complete trust. After hearing this, he said solemnly: "well, do you have any samples of this plague? If there is a model, we can now go to the Royal mage Association for an experiment. "

"Of course not. I don't want to take that kind of dangerous thing with me. Otherwise, when I enter the palace, I will be besieged by hundreds of guards... But you can see, I can go to the dungeon of St. Lauren's church. I have completely sealed it underground... Well, it seems that I accidentally locked it up with more than a dozen heretics, and now it is probably breeding in large numbers, It shouldn't have killed itself that early. "

After hearing Joshua's words, Nostradamus didn't care about the death of any heretics. He just wanted to see what the plague was. But just as he was about to leave, the old mage suddenly remembered something. He nodded, as if he remembered something he had forgotten: "yes, I have to inform Israel first, No matter whether the plague is true or not, it is time to clean up the heretics on a large scale. "

Don't even have samples. Do you still believe Joshua?

It's the first time that dimore has seen that a person has such a high degree of integrity, just a few empty words. Nostradamus, who always paid attention to evidence, believed it directly.

You know, it has something to do with pestilence, which affects an empire and even the whole world!

But even the second prince himself had to admit that even he would not believe that such people as Joshua would lie. The soldiers were right. Fists were more reliable than words. How could people with that kind of power disdain to say false words?

On the way from the black swan palace to the center of the main hall, Nostradamus kept asking about the details of the plague. He knew the identity of Joshua and the power of the green pearl. The soldiers all said that, so it must be the conspiracy of the evil god. According to the appearance of the far South Kingdom, which is now troubled by dragon disaster and rabies, No one will be careless at such a critical moment. Even if it is an accident or coincidence, we must be vigilant.

"The northern empire is huge, occupying the northern part of the whole continent. Although it seems to be unified under the leadership of his majesty, the autonomy of each territory is also great."

In the corridor of the palace, Nostradamus walked in a hurry. He shook his head, sighed, and said: "the great nobles all over the world have special laws in their own territory. If the central royal family is not strong enough, they will not obey you. People are just like this, let alone dwarves and winter elves, Goblins and dwarfs and other races... I mean, if the plague broke out in some aristocratic territory or other races, and they didn't report it, we couldn't find it the first time. "

"It is necessary to strangle everything at the source, or let the Lords know the danger, otherwise the spread of the plague will not be stopped."

The pace of Joshua and Nostradamus is the same. Behind him, Ying and Lin need to trot all the way to keep up: "even my territory, such a marginal place, has sneaked into the heretics. I think other territories are the same, even more serious."

——No, I have to say that. You must be a special case! Your reputation has long been spread among heretics!Nodding his head slightly, Nostradamus thought in his heart, but he didn't say a word, just responded: "his majesty is discussing with several envoys in the main hall. I will go to see him directly. If the envoys are all present, it would be better. The news must spread as soon as possible."

"What a coincidence."

Joshua touched his chin. He said thoughtfully, "the four human communities, even the church people, are in the imperial capital recently. It's a lot of convenience."

The northern empire is the most special of the four major human gathering areas on the mcrov continent. It is the only large-scale unified regime. Although it is not united as one, under the leadership of a powerful emperor, it can also gather the strength of the whole country to fight against the orcs in the northwest plain for many years, but also because of the restraint of the orcs, The northern Empire had little official communication with foreign countries. The war between the two prevented the two sides from expanding outward. The Empire had no time to open up the black forest, and the orcs had no time to invade and spread.

In fact, in other words, it is precisely because of the existence of orcs that human beings gather into a unified country to fight against this enemy.

The terrain of the northern gathering area is special. In the central part, there are vast plains and hills, while in the southern part, there are continuous mountains on the northern border, connecting the central black forest and the Arctic ice sheet. In the west, there is the tataros plateau where the orcs live, and then there is the sea. In the East, there is the same way, which leads to the endless ocean.

The Western gathering area is one of the oldest origins of human extraordinary ability. There are countless kingdoms here, which are ruled by various families with long blood lines. Most of their rulers have natural and special power. In other words, they are all ruled by warlocks.

The Western gathering area is still peaceful, and the racial policy is very broad. Except for demons, any race, even the dead, can be seen here. Moreover, the struggle between many kingdoms is basically limited to the intrigue of high-level warlock families. However, due to the lack of ruling strength, the Western gathering area is also the most prosperous area for cults and devil worship, In history, several large-scale sacrificial events of living people have occurred in the Western gathering area. There are many mountains here, and each kingdom is divided by natural rivers and mountains. This is why wars rarely occur. The logistics pressure of wars across mountains is too great.

The western mountainous area is connected with the central black forest in the East, and the other three sides are surrounded by the sea. It is said that the Landis Strait, where the Cologne inhabits, is on its northern coast.

There are few mountains in the eastern plain, only a few isolated peaks and hills. It is composed of grasslands divided by rivers and forests. This is the last suitable place for human beings to live. To come here, we must cross the sea or a long section of Hessian forest.

At the beginning, several mages took the lead to live here. It was no problem for the powerful casters to pass through the black forest. They settled here and brought some ordinary people to serve them. In this way, the earliest gathering place came into being. Then, with the passage of time, the number of people became more and more, plus a wave of immigrants from other places, On the eastern plain, many city states and kingdoms led by mages appeared.

Here, the kingdom is just a tool used by various casters to rule. Two large mage organizations, guantianbai pagoda and Qiyao Council, rule nearly 70% of the Kingdom and city-state. The battle between mages basically does not involve civilians, but there are often wars between the city-state kingdoms, In addition to the war between the coastal areas and the East China Sea Mermaid people, the people on the plain are still brave and good at fighting. The winged cavalry of the Duchy of Flanders and the Sea Dragon Knights of Binhai city have been famous throughout the continent.

However, the eastern plain is also the place with the most strict racial policy. Except for the dwarves and elves, all other races except human beings will be discriminated against. However, constructive life is not included. As long as they are created by mages with normal intelligence, they can get all the rights that people can get.

The far south gathering area is also a very special place, not to mention its mountainous and jungle terrain, but the cultural atmosphere.

If the northern Empire recognized dwarves, halflings, dwarfs, goblins and other creatures as citizens of the Empire, and many Western kingdoms thought that race was not important as long as they obeyed the law, such a policy could be regarded as broad and benevolent, then the word alien did not exist in the far south kingdom. In the far south Kingdom, which was founded by elves, human beings and goblins at the beginning, there are giant insects, tree people, deer people and other alien races. They all have the right to vote and participate in politics. In the mountains near the eternal lake, there are even hundreds of orderly dragons living. These huge creatures sleep most of the time, but some like to act in the human world, Some of them even turned into human beings and became the Lords of a place.

Perhaps it is because of this unrestrained environment that the artistic atmosphere of the far south kingdom is the strongest. Many famous musicians, writers, minstrels and explorers come from far south. They are willing to explore and take risks. The discovery of thousands of islands in far south and far sea is due to these people who like to do everything, The Druids in the Far South even mastered a method to transform the black forest into the ordinary forest, but the speed was too slow and had no practical value.Joshua vaguely remembers that in addition to the Yuannan king, who is now being attacked by the wild dragon, the warlock kingdom in the western mountainous area was the most severely attacked by the plague in his previous life. The eastern plains and Empire were all fine, one was because of strict management, the other was because of distance and weather.

In previous generations, black blood disease broke out in the winter at the beginning of the year, and its large-scale spread was in the summer of the same year. When it spread to the northern Empire, the winter began early. When the winter ended, the countermeasures had almost come out.

However, even so, just at the southern border of the Empire, tens of thousands of people died. This is just a statistic. The actual death toll must be more. Although Joshua is not a good man, he can save tens of thousands of people in a word. Why not? What's more, the actions of the heretics have obviously changed from the previous life, and it can't be said that the plague must only break out in the far south.

Under the leadership of Nostradamus, people have come to the central hall of moreley palace. There are countless guards patrolling back and forth, and many others are waiting quietly on one side of the corridor. We can see that these are the great nobles or the servants of the mission, or the ordinary people who are not qualified to enter the hall.

But now, it seems that the meeting is just over. The main hall door is open, and teams of people with different costumes and faces come out together. Their faces are not very good-looking. Most of them are worried and angry. The only one with a good face is a tall, strong, middle-aged man with silver hair in a white robe. Although his brow is tight, his face is sad, But it can be seen that he was born to look like this. In fact, he even had a smile on his face.

This man's strength is very strong. The power of the Holy Light rippled in his body like a sea. Joshua sensed that the other side had the strength of great intention, and it was also the strength of great intention. Looking at this dress, he was undoubtedly the head of the Knight Order of distant holy mountain [hammer of freedom], robzek.

The mighty Paladin, as he passed by Joshua and his party, let out a whisper. Then he turned to look at Joshua.

Joshua naturally turned to look at him, and they looked at each other.

"Have you seen that kid from loranda lately? No, look at the smell. You seem to be together a lot. "

The middle-aged man with silver hair and black eyes seems to be in a good mood. He said brightly: "tell him, don't make trouble. There are always sacrifices in fighting. Don't give up all friends just because you lose a friend. The temple is always his home - we won't blame him. Let him come back as soon as possible."

Looks like an acquaintance of loranda.

After seeing the paladin, Joshua suddenly realized why the blindfolded woman he had seen before gave him a familiar feeling. It turned out that the other side, like the lobzek in front of him, were all acquaintances of loranda. They all had a familiar holy light mixed with a trace of blood, and seemed to fight together often.

"I'll tell you about him. It's a pity that he didn't come to the imperial capital with me this time, otherwise you would have met him."

"Don't worry..." the great Knight narrowed his eyes and looked at Joshua. Then he shook his head, turned around and left. He said with emotion: "now young people are more and more monsters. Hi, I'm really old."

He clearly saw the strength of Joshua - although this is because the soldiers did not deliberately cover up the reason, but anyway, a 30-year-old less than the extremely strong, it is a bit shocking.

Nostradamus looked at this scene, his face unchanged. He knew the identity of the paladin in the warrior territory for a long time, so he was not surprised by the other party's action. When the other party went away, the old mage turned to Joshua and dimer and whispered, "I'll go ahead and inform the emperor."

"At that time, you may need to come in and say it yourself."
