Chapter 369

Over the gloomy sky, the sharp alarm of the floating warships gradually stopped after the battle ended. Now, only the buzzing of the full operation of the magic furnace core can be heard reverberating between the rainstorm and the gale, and the flashing searchlights can be seen sweeping back and forth among the clouds.

The black dragon retreated after being injured, and all the irrational wild dragons around them fled with the leader. They left all the ashes and debris in the sky and rushed into the cumulus to avoid the pursuit of human beings, regardless of whether the cloud they threw themselves into was rain or thunder.

In the floating warship gale, the service personnel in charge of repairing the magic equipment shuttle back and forth in the central area of the warship in a hurry. Although this battle is not the first battle of the floating warship, it is the first time to face so many flying dragons, and it is also the first time that the furnace core is fully loaded. They need to collect such precious combat data as soon as possible, and then send it to the Empire.

In the command room, the captain of the gale, a middle-aged man with white temples, sat on his big chair and listened to the reports of the people around him with a gloomy face - it was about how many dragons were killed, how much energy was consumed, whether the residual supplies were sufficient, and how far away from the holy mountain of the distant sea - and so on, and so on.

Originally, these were all good news. In the past, the captain would be very excited, but now, he is not interested. Seeing his subordinates who are still talking nonsense, the middle-aged captain said in a cold voice: "I don't want to listen to these useless bullshit - where is the count now?"

He was in a bad mood. First of all, with the appearance of [dead smoke] Grandy just now, he almost killed them all inside the warship without any sound. The powerful negative energy cloud can completely bypass the hard armor and pass through all kinds of gaps, Even directly across the space, their vitality will be eroded bit by bit - floating warships are indeed a big killer in the face of gold level and below, but they may not be much better than a steel coffin in the face of extreme strength.

As a human being, no one is happy with his weakness.

Noticing the captain's mood, the staff of the observation and detection array on one side immediately replied: "the count has returned to the deck two minutes ago, and now he has arrived in his room."

"... then, keep going in the direction of the holy mountain." Taking a deep breath, the middle-aged captain looked at the holy radiance in the distant sky, and told the staff around him in a low voice: "they have come to meet us, ready."

"Yes

And across the gale, Joshua's room.

With a slightly hasty footsteps, the door was roughly opened, with a serious face of soldiers entering, this can be regarded as a spacious bedroom filled with dignified atmosphere.

Because of the size problem, the huge steel element Chu Hao stood at the door and didn't come in. However, Hei, who was resting in the dormitory, looked up in doubt and looked at the owner whose mood was obviously wrong.

——What happened to the fight just now?

Half dragon in the mind so conjectures a way, but it oneself but immediately veto this conjecture, this is completely impossible affair.

It's just a few flying dragons. If it's not a little afraid of heights and the rarity of fire elements in the sky, it alone can ensure the safety of floating warships. You know, it's the existence of killing all the way from the battle fields of irgana world and stone demons. Although the gathering of wild dragons seems to be overwhelming, But how can we compare the quantity with the chaos army?

Regardless of the half dragon's confused imagination, the silver white sword on Joshua's right hand lit up a magic light. With the surging wave of elements, a frightened girl with silver hair appeared in front of the soldiers.

After the firefly turned into a human figure, she quickly caught the black axe from the soldier's hand. Without hesitation, she reached out to touch the blade of the axe, and then immediately cried out in a low voice: "it's so hot - it's so hot!"

Just in a flash, the white palm of the silver haired girl became extremely red, which means that the temperature on the edge of the axe is higher than expected. Thinking of this, Ying doesn't know what to say, so she can only look at her master with worried eyes.

"... it's not humanoid yet. It's a bit serious."

After a moment's silence, Joshua gazed at the black axe in the girl's hand and said solemnly, "I'll try first."

At the end of his words, he reached out and pressed on the surface of the still blazing axe.

The essence of Shenji is this weapon. Ying is a huge silver sword, while Lin is a huge black axe. Their human form is just a form made for communication and traveling together. After all, the huge sword and axe with one person's height is difficult to carry, while two human beings can walk together.As a weapon specially made for the families of famine evil gods, Shenji is stronger than most of the equipment in the world. Although it has no special ability, it can only be regarded as a magic weapon by cutting steel and iron. In addition, they all have self-consciousness and can be called masters of blood contracts, Even legendary soldiers may not be able to beat them.

But there is also a limit to the strength.

"Nothing... Nothing serious."

Using his fighting spirit, he cautiously explored the interior of the black axe. While trying to communicate with Lin's spiritual world, Joshua relaxed his way: "it's just a little overload, Lin can't bear it, and fainted."

The structure of black Shenji was not damaged. Although the axe surface was full of remnants of his fighting spirit, which brought extremely high heat, it did not reach the real upper limit of Shenji.

"Although the heat on the surface of the axe is extraordinary, it is still within the bearing range of Shenji. It's just that my way of filling in fighting is too rough and I forget to take care of Lin's feeling."

Facing the firefly, he repeats his conclusion. At this point, the soldier's face can't help but feel embarrassed and helpless, and his heart can't help but have a sense of absurd joy.

——Shenji was stunned by his power.

You know, in the past, the owners of Radcliffe's family, who held a magic machine, had to depend on their talent to exert their ability of blood contract. They could bear a magic machine and use it freely to fight. They were all gifted, just like their father, beruo de Radcliffe, who died early, Just being able to easily use the magic power of the old housekeeper "fan" can make a name in the imperial capital and make his majesty remember it deeply.

When it's his turn, he can use two by himself. It's very easy. He can even overload Shenji.

This is certainly due to the fact that the Radcliffe family has never had a super strong one before, so the design has not taken it into account, but it is also enough to show that Joshua is special and powerful.

"Just now, the breath of Lin suddenly disappeared after the battle. It really scared me."

Since he was sure that the young man with black hair had just fainted, Joshua's face returned to normal. He sat on the chair in his bedroom, and shook his head at the head of the bed. He was still worried and said, "I thought there was an accident, even there was no chase. That's how granti escaped easily."

At this point, Joshua's tone turned to cold, and he showed a smile: "I remember its breath."

It is obvious that the soldiers have completely transferred the depression brought by the fear to Grandy. In his heart, the damned black dragon has completely become a corpse, and is about to face the pain of cramping and skin peeling.

"Well... I see, master."

On one side, Ying is a little absent-minded, holding Lin's body. After hearing Joshua's words, the silver haired girl's face is really relaxed. Since her younger brother has nothing to do, it's not a big problem. But even so, she can't cheer up. Even if she doesn't fight with her master for a long time, she can't make the girl happy.

Hei slowly approached some glum young girl with silver hair. She thought for a moment, then stretched out her tongue and licked Ying's face. But the girl didn't react at first, until Banlong licked it for the second time, her expression slowly changed from depression to anger: "black! How many times, don't lick me

Ying has a habit of being clean. She just doesn't like other things on her body, let alone saliva. So every time she licks her black, the girl gets very angry, and Banlong keeps on teaching her. It seems that she takes bullying Shenji as a daily pleasure.

But now, it is black in order to let the mood of Ying a little excited and deliberately.

"..." Joshua touched his chin, although his heart was still a little heavy, but looking at this scene, he still laughed silently.

Hei's wisdom is getting higher and higher. Rather than being close to people, Hei can think as well as human beings. He is happy, angry, sad and happy. He will try to inspire his friends and help them out of difficulties. He can't see it at ordinary times, just because he is limited by his body shape and can't interact with others.

It's not enough just to change the form. Perhaps the half dragon needs some more precious treasures or magic to integrate into Joshua's life.

But when he looked at black and firefly fighting at the head of the bed, the soldier's face suddenly coagulated. He blinked, swept around, and then quietly left his bedroom and came to the outside corridor.

Steel element Chu Hao, who was waiting at the door, immediately made a Zizi response when he saw his master's figure. Joshua nodded slightly to him to indicate silence. Then he raised his right hand to suppress all the detection arrays in the corridor.At the same time, a little light condenses from the void and forms a simple and sacred rune. Then, with the rune as the center, the infinite holy light diffuses and turns into a hazy human form of light.

This human face quickly solidified down, a white haired old man with golden eyes appeared in front of the soldier. He looked at Joshua in front of him, then nodded slightly and said softly: "Joshua van Radcliffe."

"Hello."

"Hello, Pope."

He saluted the friendly looking old man. Instead of talking nonsense and greeting, Joshua asked directly, "what's the matter with you? I'm about to arrive at the holy mountain. It's good to meet at that time. Why use the Holy Light incarnation now to come here secretly, and I need to block the sight around me. "

Just now in the room, the soldier received a message from the Pope. He said that he had something to communicate with Joshua and avoid others as much as possible.

Strange as it was, Joshua had no reason to refuse, but he needed an explanation.

"Young man, the progress of your strength is beyond my imagination."

However, Pope Iger did not immediately answer the soldier's question. He first looked at Joshua's body, then nodded with a happy smile and said, "you should have a smooth road to uphold the authority of sages and do the cause of justice, but even so, it's a bit faster than I expected."

At this time, the incarnation of the old Pope, compared with what Joshua had seen in the north, was more than many times. If he had not seen each other's body made up of holy light, the soldiers could not tell the difference between the man in front of him and the real person by appearance alone.

Joshua shrugged his shoulders and didn't reply to Pope Iger's feelings. The reason why he became stronger so quickly is not only because of the system, but also because he worked hard every day. After all, this is the real world. There are no endless copies and monsters. If it wasn't for the chaos army in the world of carlis and ilgener, Joshua's strength is not likely to move fast either.

At this time, the old pope also began to answer the soldier's question: "Israel greets all the forces that you have come all the way, otherwise this cutting-edge floating warship can not pass through the national airspace so easily. As early as you arrived in the far south, Fort NACO informed the temple, and before you fight with the dragon, The archbishops and I have already found you

After all, this is around the holy mountain. It's impossible for such a large floating warship not to find it. The reason why they didn't take over ahead of time was probably to see the combat effectiveness of gale.

Looking at Pope Iger's face, he seemed satisfied.

"This warship may not be able to resist the Dragon Lord and legendary dragon of Jiyi class, but it can suppress the endless dragon army. It is indeed a sharp weapon during the war."

As for the imperial support, the old Pope first expressed his official thanks, and then said in a calm tone, "Joshua, the reason why I want you to block your sight is that you can't let others know the next thing."

"The thing you asked me by name to help?"

Nodding slightly, Joshua had already prepared himself. He said solemnly, "even if I speak frankly, under the crown of the Pope, since I am here, I will keep my promise and help you to finish it. Do you want me to go to snipe the dragon's forces and kill their leader?"

"No After hearing the soldier's words, the old Pope shook his head slightly: "it's enough for us and your floating warship to stick to the holy mountain. As long as we can ensure that the dragon can't break through the block of the magic array, it doesn't matter how many people are interested in it."

"Are you sure?" Joshua raised his eyebrows slightly. He was a little surprised and said, "don't you really need me? Although some young, but I can guarantee that, as a very strong, my strength is absolutely qualified, with my participation, the defense of holy mountain will be solid. "

"I believe you, Joshua." With an extremely confident tone, Pope Iger seemed to have more confidence in the soldiers than himself: "you can fight back [dead smoke] grandi head on, which is enough to prove that your strength is powerful in the first level of extreme will. You can stop a legion of rabies dragons. This is a matter questioned by the nun."

"But it is because of trust that more important tasks need to be entrusted to you."

At this point, Iger's words slightly, he said in a low voice: "if I have a fight with those legendary dragons in the holy mountain, then the great God Hall of the seven gods church will not be lost, but on the other side of the Arnos abyss, I have a very bad premonition."

The old Pope finally expressed his purpose. His golden eyes were shining with holy brilliance, as if he could break the fog of history and see a corner of the future. In a solemn and incomparable tone, Iger told Joshua, who was also serious: "there is a crack in the abyss, and the five color Dragon clan has obviously made a deal with the plague evil god and the abyss, I'm afraid they will try to take that gap as the starting point, temporarily open the door of the abyss, and send their reinforcements out of the abyss! "At this point, his foresight did not seem to be over. The old Pope narrowed his eyes slightly and continued to say in a deep voice: "moreover, I seem to be able to see that it will become one of the sources of disasters in the world in decades. If it is not pulled out now, it will become a cancer in the world of mirov, which will last for thousands of years."

"... not bad at all."

Nodding slowly, Joshua, after listening to Pope Igor's conjecture, decisively approved: "that's true."

The reason why he agreed so easily was that the development of the previous life was the same as the old Pope's conjecture - the abyss of Anos became the most terrifying abyss eye among the three abysses in the future. I'm afraid that it was because of what the degenerated five color dragons did in the period of dragon disaster, otherwise it would be an ordinary space-time crack, It's not going to get that far.

"Then, under the Pope's crown, do you want me to go to the abyss of Anos, find the crack in the abyss, and destroy it?"

With a calm tone, Joshua clenched his fist and assured without hesitation, "no problem."

He doesn't need to make any soul stirring vows, because the words of a soldier are promises, and once a promise is made, it will be completed.

"Yes, but you are not alone."

Nodding slightly, Iger said with a smile: "through the oracle of the seven gods, I probably know where the abyss crack is. It is located in the deepest vortex of the Arnos abyss. Maybe it goes deep into the bottom of the sea, and you can't find it alone, so commander robzek, Knight loranda, Sister saya and the other strong ones I invited will join you in the search for the rift in the abyss. You and robzek, as the most powerful of them, are leaders, and they will obey your orders. "

At this point, the old Pope took his eyes away from Joshua. He looked at the silent steel initial. There was a strange light in his eyes, but then he noticed the situation in the room and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"There seems to be something wrong with your weapon, Joshua."

Eagle said softly, with a touch of concern in his voice: "need help?"

In exchange, he naturally knew the meaning of Shenji to the contractor, that is, his closest relatives and partners. He was worried that this might have some bad effects on Joshua's state: "if you are willing to believe in the church's technology, you can temporarily give him to me for treatment."

"In the name of the light, there is absolutely no sequela," the pope said wittily

"... thank you very much."

For Iger's kindness, the soldier expressed his gratitude, but he shook his head seriously and said, "no need... In fact, I have a better way."

At this point, the soldier was silent for a while, while the old Pope was waiting quietly.

Then Joshua took a deep breath, frowned and made a decision.

"I'd like to ask you a favor, if you can."

Looking at the old man's golden eyes, Joshua said in a serious and sincere tone: "I hope you can take Yinghe and Lin to the holy mountain and strengthen them enough to adapt to my strength - maybe this is a bit abrupt, but I hope you can take good care of them in the holy mountain."

"No, it's not abrupt. I understand how you feel." Shaking his head slightly, Iger waved his hand. He took a deep look at the soldier, and his face was a little strange: "it's not troublesome. For the church, it's not a big deal to take care of the two magic weapons, but, Joshua..."

At this point, the old Pope's tone was somewhat meaningful: "in this way, You will have no weapons - the power of the church can indeed strengthen your magic power, but it will never catch up with the time when you go to the abyss of Anos. Judging from your expression, it seems that you do not intend to use the holy instruments of the holy mountain to fight. "

He said playfully: "you dare to go to the abyss of Anos without weapons? It's an eternal storm zone. In the whirlpool and huge waves, there are even hundreds of meters of sea monsters. It's extremely difficult. Even if you are fully armed, you may not be able to reach the target easily, let alone empty hands. "

"Ha ha, under the crown of the Pope."

After hearing that Iger agreed to his request, Joshua's face lightened a lot. He just laughed at the old Pope's question, and then said fearlessly, "it's because of the difficulties and dangers that I'm going. In your opinion, even I will find it difficult. Isn't it more troublesome for others? "

"To destroy the sharp edge, to turn the waves in extreme danger - that's why I'm standing here."

"And."

With an expression of relief on his face, the soldier clenched his fists and flashed a fierce cold light in his eyes: "it's also a challenge and fun to use weapons occasionally."
