"Sit down, please."

In the center of the town called yareen, a memorial hall made entirely of rock and white pyroxene, the heroic swordsman returned to his own place - a sword tomb with a long stone sword in the center of the memorial hall, with only a little ethereal sound echoing in the hall.

With the words of the hero, a wooden chair placed in the corner was moved by an invisible force to the back of the soldier.

Joshua sat down and looked at the hall with curiosity.

Through the name of the town, the names of other villagers, as well as the name of this highly desirable top level spirit, the soldiers can roughly guess the situation here - the whole village and town on the mountain is the descendant of this Alain Astoria, whose name became the name of the town, and he also became a spirit relying on the worship of his descendants, And protect your own blood in the last days of the dead.

It's easy to guess, and neither the swordsman nor other villagers have any intention of concealing it. It seems that this situation is a normal situation for the Grandia world.

There is always a chill in the mountains at night, but there is a crystal twinkling in the sacrificial hall, releasing the warm light of magic. The torches on both sides of the sword grave are also burning for a long time, blowing out waves of heat. In the sword grave, which is like a trapezoidal altar, the old swordsman's calm voice comes out: "in order to reduce consumption, I will not appear as an entity, I think you can understand the guests. "

"Of course I don't care."

Sitting on the chair, the soldier shrugged his shoulders. With the help of the system, he is becoming more and more proficient in the universal language of gentia: "but to tell you the truth, Mr. aryen, I can see that you don't welcome me, so now I don't do more politeness. Don't worry, as long as you can answer some of my doubts, I will leave naturally, Don't disturb your peaceful life. "

How keen is the observation power of the Jiyi warrior. The light alienation and indifference in the old swordsman's look are not hidden. Anyone can see it.

"It's not welcome, but when a strong man named Tianjing suddenly appears and calls himself an alien, it's natural for a small mountain town to feel extremely frightened. Even if the strong man doesn't have any malice, it's just like the hare is afraid of the elephant passing by the nest."

In the tomb of the sword, a faint voice of Alain rang out. His reply was simple and direct, but it was also a sincere expression: "soldier Joshua, you saved my descendants' life, so as long as you ask, I will try my best to answer, and guarantee that there is no omission, and I will not try to hide anything. With my spirit, this is true."

The language used by the old swordsman is the common language of ancient Galatians. There is a big difference between its grammar and the current one. Even local people sometimes find it difficult to understand it. But for Joshua, who has a systematic dictionary, there is no difference between the two. When he hears araen's words, the swordsman does not hesitate, Simply asked: "what is the geographical situation of the world? Where is the town located? Why are there so many shadow demons in the wilderness

"The name of the world is Grandia, which comes from the first explorer who traveled around the mainland. I'll ask others to take a copy of the map of the mainland later. This small town is located on the southeast edge of the mainland. If you go a little further to the east or south, it will be the green tide sea."

Aryen's words were gentle and clear. He seemed afraid that the soldiers would not understand them. Occasionally, he would stop to explain two proper terms. But when it comes to the shadow monsters in Joshua's mouth, the old man's voice finally had a trace of anger: "as for the" dead shadows ", as the name suggests, they are naturally the shadows produced after the recovery of the dead."

Under the other side's careful narration, the soldier finally had a general understanding of the world.

About 30 years ago, the whole continent of grantia was divided up and ruled by two powerful empires. The other small countries sandwiched between the two empires had already lost their ability of autonomy and could only become their vassals.

The two empires, one occupied the southeast and the other occupied the northwest of the mainland. They were divided by mountains, rivers and natural fortresses. Because the internal development and internal contradictions of both sides have reached a limit, and there is an urgent need for external expansion and transfer contradictions, one or two bloody conflicts will break out at the border from time to time, and proxy wars between small countries will also be launched from time to time. For a long time, the contradictions between the two empires can not be eased. Everyone believes that a comprehensive world-class war will break out in one or two years.

"And the cataclysm happened at that time." Emotional return to stability, the old man with a indifferent tone, describing the things at that time.

The Ulan Empire, located in the northwest of China, has always been famous for its powerful psionic power. It has even popularized psionic practice in China. Most of the people have primary psionic power and can drive many magic guiding instruments freely. If the geludi kingdom in the southeast does not occupy the fortress of natural danger, its population will be three times as large, If the top "Tianjing" is no less powerful than it, or even more powerful than it, then the elite Wulan psionic army has already swept the whole world and unified the whole continent.But one day 27 years ago, an extraordinary change took place around the capital of the Ulan Empire, gaitar - a huge city with a psionic emperor, six magic marshals, a population of more than 7 million, and a total of more than 10 celestial strongmen. In an earthquake in Moming, it suddenly became a dead area without any living people, The three psionic guides of the Ulan Empire tried to explore the changes in the capital, but only a few survived.

"From that day on, the change took gaitar as the center and began to spread to the whole world. Naturally, the gro Empire, which was at a loss and had no clear idea of the situation, could not be spared."

At that time, a pair of eyes like fire condensed from the top of the sword tomb. Looking up at the top of the memorial hall, they seemed to be able to penetrate the rock and crystal, and see the sky behind them. The old man said softly, "the whole continent is surrounded by a layer of black fog, the light of the sun and the moon becomes dim, and at night, There will be countless shadows of the dead born from the black fog, attacking everything that can be attacked. "

"The two empires collapsed within a few years, and countless people were displaced and killed."

With a few words, soldiers can feel the bloodbath hidden in it

"And that's when I woke up."

At this time, the body of Yingling Yaren condenses out again. The old swordsman looks down at his body which is completely composed of spirit and energy, and sarcastically says: "not all souls have lost themselves, probably because I have more descendants. Under the worship of these children, I have not fallen, On the contrary, he regained part of his strength and became the legendary heroes, guarding them in this crazy world. "

"... so, at night, the whole world of grandea will turn into a realm of the dead?"

Hearing this, Joshua raised his eyebrows. He asked in a very strange tone in aryen's ear, "so, what's their strength?"

"Most of them are just shadows weaker than ordinary people. As long as you summon up courage, even children can break one or two."

The old swordsman shook his head: "if it's not too many, it can be said that there is no threat. The ferocious rats are more dangerous than them. However, even so, there will be strong people like me in the shadow of death. They are the Lord of the shadow of death, and they are also called the leader by other wise shadows."

"So." Joshua didn't feel sorry for losing a way to accumulate experience quickly. He just asked habitually. After thinking for a while, the soldier asked again, "just now I heard you talk about the words of heaven and psionic power. Can you tell me how to divide the extraordinary power system of your world?"

When Joshua came to this world, his main task was to search for the remains of the fourth sage, but there was also an opportunity for him to become a legend. In order to have a deeper understanding of the power of steel in the Galatia world, the soldiers naturally had to ask more about this information.

"It seems that you are really from the outside world, and can ask such questions." Looking at Joshua deeply, it seems that before that, aryen was still doubting the truth of what the soldiers said, but now it is completely confirmed. He sorted out the words a little, and then explained them to Joshua in detail.

In the Grandia world, the supernatural power is divided into two schools. One is the "magic power" which refines the power of the earth crystal, and the other is the "psionic power" which studies its own spiritual power. The magic power is convenient and fast to practice. It can be advanced as long as there is the earth crystal, but it is limited by resources and can not be popularized, But often need to reflect on their own soul, it is difficult to achieve.

The old swordsman was a powerful magic swordsman in his life. He has dealt with countless powerful swordsmen in his life, so he knows all kinds of information about various systems, but what he knows most is magic power.

The so-called earth crystal is protocryst. In the carriage escorted by Davian's team, the protocryst is used to maintain the cultivation of the extraordinary in this small town. There is a huge gap between the lowest Gray Crystal and the highest holy stone.

When the old hero's mind moved, a piece of high-quality "cloud diamond" flew to the soldier. Joshua reached out and grasped it impolitely, and then began to explore its power.

"Before mastering the essence of self and developing gifted powers, all the levels of the system are divided into junior high school and senior high school. After developing gifted powers, magic power is called the earth, while psionic power is called the mentor." While the warrior is studying the cloud drill, he continues to explain.

——It seems that the so-called realm is the golden realm.

As a colleague who studies cloud diamond, Joshua nodded slightly to show that he was listening. Seeing this, the old swordsman continued: "as for the existence like you, which has untied the natural shackles and reached the infinite level of the sky, it is the heaven in my mouth, the pioneer in the mouth of the psychic.""Yes, there are similarities."

Joshua nodded thoughtfully. The so-called description of heaven is somewhat similar to Jiyi. However, it is not surprising that there are human beings and relics of sages in the world of Grandia. There must be a lot of relations between Grandia and the continent of mccrov. Even, the origin of human beings in the world of Grandia may be a batch of seeds transferred by sages, Just like the father of nature used to do.

At this time, waiting for Joshua's next question, the swordsman suddenly touched his sword handle with his right hand subconsciously.

He sensed that the soldiers were ready to fight.

"And you."

Joshua slowly stood up from his chair. He and the old swordsman looked at each other and asked calmly, "a part of the power of recovery is what you call the strength of the top of heaven. Listen to your voice, you don't seem to like the psionic emperors and marshals of the Ulan empire... I'm curious about your real strength."

The old man was silent. He just narrowed his eyes and looked at the soldier with two weapons floating behind him.

"It's better to have a try on your hand and face each other in order to show your true nature." The mysterious swordsman seemed to speak to himself. He shook his head: "it's not strange that you have this kind of character, but I won't fight you. A soldier from an alien world, my sword will only come out to protect something. This is my principle."

At this point, the swordsman named yareen even turned his back to Joshua, and the old man seemed to give up the defense completely.

And the soldier frowned. He regained his momentum and sat back in his seat.

"Boring guy." He said so, as if some dissatisfaction: "you refuse, I will not force, but you actually back to me."

Joshua shook his head as if it were a great insult.

It seems that because he used to deal with the existence of soldiers, the old swordsman, who had a set of coping procedures, chuckled and did not respond to Joshua's words. He calmly asked, "excuse me, is there any problem?"

"No Joshua shook his head and said, "that's enough."

He had a general knowledge of the situation in the world and the extraordinary power system here. In addition to the map of the world that will be sent later, the soldier felt that he had gained a lot from his trip. He didn't lose money to protect the carriage for half an evening.

The spirit swordsman named Aran Astoria is a man who keeps his promise. Apart from his own strength, there is no concealment in his words. Joshua also understands the other party's choice very well. In the face of an unknown village, the strength is strong enough to destroy his cherished village, It's the stupidest choice to show your strength completely, so even if a soldier has great interest in this obviously unusual swordsman, he will not force him if he is not a villain.

"You have answered so many of my questions, and I should repay you a little."

A hand has been completely resolved, the strength of all the absorbed crystal stone into pieces, soldiers feel the body has risen to 39% of the strength of liberation, seriously said: "by the way, thank you for this cloud diamond."

By absorbing the internal power of the crystal in the same way as the supernatural one of the magic power series, Joshua, who quenched his body, had some ideas on how to analyze the steel power of the world.

There is a kind of power between vitality and Magic Elements in the white protocrystal given to him by yareen. It can be easily accepted by people's bodies, but it can show the magic power similar to the elements. Therefore, the magic power in this world is both magic and martial arts, and the extraordinary power in their bodies, It's all the product of this kind of completely repulsive mix of forces in the continent of mirov.

The fighting spirit and elemental magic derived from vitality are the tributaries of the power of steel. Although they are naturally repulsive, there must be products that are as fused with the protocrysts in the Grandia world and can carry them. The power to create everything is the essence of the steel of origin. Just by imitating the power of the cloud drill and assimilating a little bit of internal fighting, Joshua improved his two-point liberation rate, which proved that he was looking for the right direction.

Therefore, the warrior did not hesitate to give the spirit swordsman a way to practice fighting spirit on the mainland of mcrove.

"This?"

Listen to Joshua's dictation bit by bit about the most fundamental practice method of fighting spirit and vitality. The old swordsman who reached the peak of the magic power series immediately knew how precious the practice method from the other world was - it was another completely different but equally promising way. In addition, for aryen, who had already been in the realm of analogy, This knowledge could also make him go a step further, just as Joshua benefited from the cloud diamond.Is Allan's spirit a generation willing to be favored? He answered Joshua's question because he had saved his descendants, and the spirit naturally wanted to give back the knowledge given by the soldiers. In this way, they answered each other's doubts and explained to each other until noon the next day.

After taking a map marked with most of the survivors in the world, the contented soldier kept his promise and simply left the village in the mountains. He followed the guide of the mirror and went all the way to the West.

After seeing off Joshua and returning to normal life, the villagers began to work busily.

Inside the sacrificial hall in the center of the town, the old hero, composed of countless light spots, stood in front of his sword tomb, thinking about what he had heard not long ago.

"Fighting spirit..."

He whispered to himself, and then he could see a blue and gold flame rising from the palm of the old man's hand. Yareen opened his eyes, looked at the flame in his hand, nodded and exclaimed, "he didn't hide... It seems that my premonition is wrong."

The reason why the old swordsman didn't welcome Joshua to stay in the town for a long time was that he sensed the vast and terrifying resentment of the soldiers, which was surrounded by the curse of countless dead people. With a little release, he could infect dozens of miles into the realm of despair. Araen was afraid that Joshua might accidentally release the resentment, Destroy the whole village, so I'm willing to patiently answer each other's questions, and then quickly send people away.

But now it seems that the soldier is not the kind who loves fighting and is willing to kill. He is rational and stable in thinking, concise and clear in speaking, and willing to communicate with himself freely. There is no doubt that he is a soldier with strong control and steel will.

"However, this method of practice is too dangerous. If the constitution is not enough, it is easy to cause serious injury or even death... No wonder this kind of existence will be cultivated."

Thinking of this, Yingling swordsman frowned. He looked out at the busy villagers and their descendants outside the sacrificial hall. There was a trace of reluctance in his eyes: "moreover, if there is no battle as nourishment, this kind of power will progress very slowly, and there is no magic power to absorb the power of crystal quickly."

"The supply of spar is still sufficient."

Thinking of this, yareen made a decision: "in this case, we will not spread this power for the time being. When there is no more crystal to trade around, we will let them try this power which is easy to popularize."

As time goes by, the soldiers leave the town three days later.

Originally sleeping in the altar, aryen suddenly opened his eyes.

Without any hesitation, the swordsman left in an instant and came to the high altitude several miles away from the town.

"Come out."

With a chill tone, he quietly cheered to the surrounding sky: "I won't say the second time."

At this time, arene had no peace when communicating with the soldiers. At this time, he was like a sharp sword that was about to come out of its sheath. It was the most dangerous. The flame in the old swordsman's eyes was burning. The light produced was sweeping every void inch by inch, and the blue light traces extended along his eyes.

And the next moment, a mass of amorphous, like the black shadow of mud, emerged from the atmosphere, and then condensed into a shadow similar to human shape.

"Arain Astoria, the great sword of the earth."

In a harsh and greasy tone, this group of still twisted and wriggling human shadow pointed at the old swordsman with a smile and said, "I am the changeable shadow under the third commander. I am ordered by my Lord to ask for some information."

"The third commander? It seems that the ranking has gone up again. "

For this obviously is the shadow of a kind of demon, ya leien did not move, he just slightly disgusted closed his eyes, cold voice: "but he promised me, as long as I don't move, will not disturb my life."

"Jie, how can it be?"

The amorphous shadow named Lodz laughed in a sharp voice: "you are also born from the ceremony. How can you stay out of it? To tell you the truth, the plan to lead the adults is about to be completed, but at this time, there is a powerful force tearing space and time, and bringing an alien being to the world - he is a variable out of the plan, the most dangerous unknown. For his whereabouts, the leader is sure to get it. "

At this point, the shadow turned to look at the busy but peaceful mountain town. It said: "if you still want your descendants to live..."

Poof.

The shadow was cut into two parts at the moment when thinking could not perceive it.Yareen, still with his eyes closed, didn't even press his hand on the hilt of the sword, but even so, after a moment, the so-called changing shadow cut off the sword for countless times, beating into a flying mist.

"Even your commander dare not threaten me."

He said indifferently: "go back."

After more than ten seconds, the flying black fog began to close slowly. After this large piece of weapons, which seemed to be completely non-existent, gathered again, only a little bit of fist size remained. Weak incomparable, but incomparable resentment, the voice sounded: "no, you will not kill me."

As he said this, the shadow gradually grew larger: "my body is thousands of miles away. If you want to kill me through this weapon, you can only draw your sword."

"But how many times can you do your best? Legend has it that the earth splitting sword, which made the mountains incline to the northwest and the earth splitting abyss and made the Ulan Empire dare not break the border for a hundred years, can be used several times to break the holy land of heaven and earth

"As long as you don't kill me, I will always threaten your descendants, but if you are willing to waste this sword on me and other little people --"

With the sound of glass rubbing against steel, Lodz sneered maliciously: "I don't regret Lodz's death!"

He took a deep breath, but the old swordsman didn't move on.

But he is still silent, just firmly locked with the spirit of this powerful shadow.

"If you don't tell me, I have a way to find him!"

Although the mouth is not weak, but there is no doubt that Lodz can not bear the pressure of aryen's momentum. After barely supporting for more than ten seconds, it immediately ran away.

Before leaving, the high shadow with wisdom still did not forget to send a vicious curse: "wait, sword Saint aryen, one day, you will lose everything you cherish and join our camp."

"At that time, the third commander will still choose to assist you, just as you did before you died."

More than ten seconds later, Lodz completely disappeared in the sky.

And the old swordsman slowly opened his eyes.

Yareen held down his simple decoration, but had a long sword handle surrounded by thunder, and fell into a long silence.

"What's the sword that makes the mountain incline to the northwest and the earth crack the abyss?"

After a long time, he whispered to himself, but then the old man laughed at himself and shook his head: "no more."

Yingling turned his head and walked slowly to the small village where he vowed to protect his life. For this reason, he was willing to go against his heart, seal his sword, and watch countless plots happen at his moment.

The man-made river flows slowly along the edge of the village.

The town of yareen is built on a flat hilltop.

It seems that there is something to cut off the mountain.

And the soldier who is flying in the altitude of several kilometers, some doubts stop action, scanning around.

"Strange, I feel hostility."

He said to himself strangely, "who is so bold?"
