Chapter 46

Downtown, St. Lawrence's Cathedral.

The black ring emblem is hanging at the top of the church. It is as stable as a rock without any vibration in the snowstorm.

Joshua took Andrea and walked steadily and quickly. The city guard in his hand was different from his officers and comrades in arms. His internal organs were seriously injured, but there were few injuries. If he didn't get treatment immediately to stabilize the injury, he would probably die, and the lightest was organ failure.

And he happened to have something to come to church, so he just took it with him.

Crossing the stairs, Joshua came to the stone door. He found that the white glow on it was gone, and the magic array of reinforcement and sealing had disappeared. He simply pushed the door open by himself.

"Creak."

The sound of friction between snow and wood sounded, and the door opened. Without any hesitation, the soldiers went directly into the reception hall. The two armored guard Knights sensed that a man who could not estimate his strength had opened the church door, so they quickly walked out of the corner lounge. However, after seeing that the man who opened the door was Joshua, the two knights quickly walked out, They all stopped and made a knight's salute.

"Lord, why are you here?"

One of them came forward and asked suspiciously, he really felt a little strange. In this cold weather, even ordinary people just want to stay at home and don't want to come to church to pray. What's more, a noble earl, how can he have leisure to come to church?

"Find someone to heal, and this guy will be handed over to you. It's too seriously injured."

Joshua handed the young guard to the two guardians, and perceived the arrival of the golden class. At this time, two students of atannis rushed to the scene. The two silver class priests are still apprentices of atannis. According to the church tradition, it will take them to realize their faith one day, Only when the oath is made and the real power of the holy light is obtained, can we begin to take charge of the church alone.

But now, I can only follow my tutor to cure my illness.

"Hard two, treat his internal injury a little bit, and where is the Reverend atannis? I have something urgent to see him

Taking off the clothes full of holes and notches scratched by sharp claws, Joshua walked straight to the aisle behind the church hall. As he walked, he asked, "is it in his room or library?"

"The library, Lord."

The younger vicar, while dealing with Andrea's wound and sensing the extent of his visceral damage with the holy light, took the time to reply, "teacher, he's recently looking for classics about the ancient star falling into the inland sea. He's been there for a few days."

"Very well, thank you."

Knowing where he was, Joshua took a step faster. He walked through the winding passage and went straight to the end of the church.

The library.

Atannis stood in front of the tall bookcase, quietly looking through ancient books. He was wearing wooden framed glasses, and his face was serious. Beside the white haired priest, there were dozens of similar books, piled up into a mountain, even about to cover his body.

While he was reading the ancient books and taking notes, heavy footsteps came from outside the library.

A moment later, the footsteps stopped outside the door. With a low friction, the door of the library was opened. At the same time, atannis made a bookmark. He closed the book and put it aside. The white haired priest said strangely to the soldier in front of him: "look, our new Lord, why are you here... You don't wear any clothes. What's the emergency?"

"Yes, it's urgent."

Joshua was not polite to his acquaintances. He simply said, "I want to use the magic communication array of the church, and it's immediately."

Atannis frowned. He had been a priest for so many years, from the emperor to the poor. Who had not seen him? From the soldier's face in front of him, he clearly knew that something important must have happened, and he was very urgent, so the priest didn't say a word of nonsense and directly got up to lead the way: "follow me, the communication array is on the second floor."

They cross the hallway, the spiral up and down the aisle, to the second floor of the church. Atannis walks to a flat looking room, followed by Joshua.

When he came to the door, the white haired priest stretched out his palm. The white light rose from him, and scattered like stars. Then he gathered in the palm of his hand. It seemed that he felt the resonance of this power. On the door without handle or keyhole, there was a silver array, which was rotating endlessly. The complex Rune rotation was dense, It's dizzy.

Pressing the light in his hand to the array, atannis said in a low voice: "St. Lauren's Cathedral, pastor atannis, apply for the use of the Xiguang communication array."After obtaining the power of the holy light and confirming the identity, the silver array immediately stopped rotating, and the door slowly opened.

"Go ahead, it's the super large communication array connecting all parts of the Empire. You should be able to use it."

Taking his arm back, the white haired priest stepped back to make way for the road. At the same time, he narrowed his eyes and asked, "in such a hurry, can you tell me what it is?"

"I suspect the communications of the black forest fortress have been blocked, and now it may have been surrounded by the Kuroshio."

The words are concise. After the explanation, Joshua goes directly into the room.

This is a hall with a round dome. On the walls and roof, there are many translucent runic crystals, which form a smooth line, flowing with silver blue and gold light. Above the place where all the lines converge, there is a virtual sun with soft white light.

A "three-dimensional normal array" suspended in the center of the room.

In this virtual sun, countless runes and energies form a regular shape. They are combined and scattered in the white light, changing all the time. Ordinary people will feel exhausted and exhausted just by looking at them.

But Joshua is no different. Although he is a soldier, his will and spirit are as tough as his body. In fact, without firm will and rigorous analysis of the situation, he can not become a really powerful soldier. Moreover, as atannis said, he has used the communication array many times and is very familiar with it.

The soldier with black hair walks to the three-dimensional array hanging in the middle of the room. He looks at the light, then closes his eyes, spreads his spirit, connects, and starts to quickly adjust the communication parameters.

A moment later, he felt that countless data and coordinates appeared in his mind.

"Contact, Northland, moldavilland, black forest fortress."

These key words flashed through my mind, and Joshua's spiritual message was clear and firm: "start connecting."

At his request, countless data and coordinates flowed like a torrent, then slowly frozen, and finally determined to be a huge fortress standing in the snow and surrounded by thick black forest.

"Zizi... Zizi."

Without a reply, Joshua was not discouraged. He continued to repeat: "contact, Northland, Moldavia leader, black forest fortress, start to connect, increase communication fluctuation, source of authority - count of Empire Northland, Joshua van Radcliffe."

"The authority level has been determined... The fluctuation is increasing... Zizi... Boom! "Wu Wu..."

This time, there was a strange noise, which seemed to be the sound of goblin gun firing, or the sound of fireball cracking, vaguely, there seemed to be the sound of horn and battle roar.

"Sure enough."

After hearing this voice, Joshua simply took the initiative to remove the connection with the communication array. He opened his eyes, sighed, and whispered to himself, "it's really an accident, but I don't know how long the battle has lasted and whether the fortress has been lost."

Because of the increasing fluctuation of the power of the holy light, the Reverend atannis walked into the room slowly. Although he could not see the expression on his face, he could still feel the seriousness in the white haired man's heart.

"What happened, Joshua? Ordinary communication should not use your aristocratic authority to increase. That's what you need to use for cross domain communication. "

"... the fortress didn't send a short message for three days. I thought it was because everything was safe. Who knew that the Kuroshio had been launched long ago, and all the knights were fighting in the frontier, but I didn't know anything about it."

Silence, and then began to smile, Joshua mouth slightly up, he turned his head, toward the communication room door: "ha ha... Ridiculous."

"What? But why is there no warning? Is there any Warcraft that has the ability to block communication? "

Hearing this news, the white haired priest was shocked, but then he immediately frowned, turned and reproached the soldier who had gone away: "how can you laugh out that the fortress is in critical condition now, and I don't know how many people are in trouble. Joshua, those are all your people!"

"No... how could I laugh at such a thing."

After leaving the communication room, Joshua walked slowly to the balcony on the second floor of the church. He shook his head and said with emotion: "just now, I was just laughing for such me... This omen should have been discovered for a long time. Ha ha, it's just a peaceful life. After a long time, he relaxed his vigilance to such an extent..."

"That's funny."

Slowly pushed open the French windows of the church, the turbulent cold wind with snow came, in the face of the howling north wind and the freezing cold wave, the black haired soldier Gan ruoyi, he looked up at the sky, his eyes seemed to penetrate the heavy haze, looking at the horizon that his eyes could not reach, the red pupil was like a flame burning."It's going to start."

Hessian tide, this is only a beginning, is the future of McCullough the opening of endless disputes, but also his life, the real starting point.

"Atannis... Do you know that the present peace is only an illusion, the fire of war will be rekindled in the future, and the blood of all ethnic groups will be soaked in the sand, and the corpses will be scattered all over the earth - this war is inevitable. Justice can not save those who are good at doing good, and evil can not save those who are good at doing evil."

Outside the window, the sky was covered with clouds, ice and snow, cold wind, white frost mixed with a little dust swept the world. It was such a cold weather, but atannis felt something burning in front of him.

"The weak have no place to hide, only the brave can survive."

Looking back, the black haired and red eyed warrior, Joshua van Radcliffe, whispered to the silent white haired priest:

"My friend, this era of war and strife has finally come."
