Star falls in 833, June 19, early morning, Moldavia, Northland, Nissie Snow Mountain, Winter Fort College.

At this time, the sun had not risen and everything was quiet. The students in the academy had fallen asleep. Most of the tutors were resting in their rooms, and they were self-disciplined to patrol back and forth in important parts of the academy, such as accommodation areas, libraries and magic laboratories. These creatures made up of steel and magic could detect the slightest movements in the darkness and were the best guardians.

But there are always some places that do not require protection.

On the top floor of the college, there is an office with a sword-holding emblem printed on the door.

Behind the door, there was no light on in the room. A silver-white moonlight shone into the room from the roof skylight, which was the only source of light. In this corner where the moonlight could not be shining, a man was sitting silently on a large armchair, playing with something in his hand.

Joshua stared at the dragon egg in his hand. The white eggshell, the size of a human head, emitted a faint fluorescence, which looked particularly hazy in the dark.

"Yes, this dragon egg is very healthy."

With a soft sigh, Joshua put the dragon egg back into the silver metal box beside him. He nodded and sighed: "You can pick it up at will and you will meet the requirements. The gift from the God of Luck and Despair is indeed kind."

Since Joshua solved the Black Mist incident in the imperial capital, he found that he was getting better and better in some irrelevant trivial matters. For example, the book he picked up happened to be a novel that suited his taste. If you want to solve anything, you will be delivered with a corresponding report. It is absolutely impossible to buy inferior things when you go out to buy something. This is obviously a manifestation of a sudden increase in luck.

Originally, the warrior thought that Ogner's gift was nothing more than a return of the divine nature he had loaned out, and at most he returned a little more, but now he realized that this divine nature from the God of Luck has such a wonderful effect.

"It's a pity that there are no lottery tickets in the mainland of Mycrov."

Joshua made a little joke. If there were any, with his current luck, he might really win a small prize.

Now, Firefly needs to stay in the Lord's Mansion to take care of Brandon's two daughters. Rin wants to sweep away the cultists with the Knights from time to time with the church's men, so now he is alone at Winter Castle Academy, waiting for the end of this large-scale comprehensive test to give the best students a reward of a dragon egg to be hatched.

There were actually not many dragon eggs that Joshua brought out from the White Dragon's Nest. Including the dead eggs identified by Theodor as unhatchable, there were only twenty-two. However, there were only fifteen dragon eggs that were confirmed to be able to hatch healthily. There were seven dragon eggs that lost their activity due to various reasons and could only be used as magical materials.

But even if there are only fifteen dragon eggs left, it is not so easy to find all the owners.

Joshua himself is already in black, and he doesn't need a second mount. These dragon eggs are all the best knights who meet the conditions among the preparatory knights that are ready to be left for him. However, only ten of the knights of the entire forty people meet the conditions.

The warriors' preparatory knights were specially selected from the Black Forest Forest and the City Guard after the end of the Black Tide last year. They were all young men with good physical fitness and even had the potential to advance to the golden level. The warriors also specially taught them breathing techniques. After a year of training, the strength of these preparatory knights has also improved greatly, and many people have broken through their original class and taken it to the next level.

Of course, they are not Joshua. Without a system, their strength cannot be progressing so quickly, so no one has touched the golden barrier so far. Joshua estimates that unless it is time to wait until the great demon tide, it will take about five or six years to make these people go further.

But this is already terrifying enough. Forty silver-level knights who practiced breathing can be regarded as a powerful force in the empire. After all, this is only a private soldier of Joshua, so the soldiers are preparing to find some time to remove the preparations in the preparatory knights and formally give them a corps.

But even so, there are still many people in the Preparatory Knights who do not meet the requirements. First of all, the most important point of the Dragon Knight is "not afraid of heights", so they screened out seven or eight people, and not many people who meet the dynamic vision and reaction ability. Overall, most of them were eliminated in an instant.

You should know that the most important thing for the Dragon Knight is to fight in the sky. Because the dragon's maneuver is too high, the knights must also have a strong reaction speed. To be honest, the knights of the Preparatory Knights are not bad at this point. If you have practiced hard, there should be many people who meet the standards. However, what Joshua wants is the determination of the present, not the possibility of the future, so unfortunately, only ten strongest Preparatory Knights can get the dragon egg.

In this way, not only are there many fifteen dragon eggs, but five more Theodores were added as meritorious ministers of the dragon egg hatching, and they were able to get one. In this academy evaluation, Joshua was preparing to give one. Even so, there were three more.

"Leave one for the academy itself."

After thinking about it, Joshua decided to simply leave a dragon egg and train it in the name of the academy. Anyway, Theodore would not care about taking care of a young dragon. And in this case, if Winter Castle Academy could be opened for decades, there would be a guardian dragon of its own.

This is not a treatment that ordinary colleges can receive. Even in Guantian Baita, no college or department can have a guardian dragon.

“There are two more.”

Looking at the metal box beside him with some headache, Joshua couldn't help but frown: "Send one to Master Nostradamus or Bishop Atanis? Just treat it as a thank you for helping you all the time."

But when he finished talking to himself, the warrior shook his head again: "They don't need this thing. The old wizard has no time to take care of this little thing, nor does it need a mount, but the church may not be able to support it."

You should know that when a dragon grows up, the ingredients and various special materials needed to destroy a small family. Gioshya is because he is the lord of Moldavia and the Count of the Realm. Relying on his past large savings and family industry, this can support the load of the ten dragons of the Knights.

As for the college and the two ends given to the students, Nostradamus and Joshua will help, so it is not a big problem. Theodore has made decades of preparations to raise a dragon, and it is not a big problem. On the other hand, the church usually lives simple and relies on the funds of believers and the lord's house to maintain it. Suddenly, there is an extra dragon's mouth, and they will definitely fall into financial difficulties.

"...Forget it, it's just two dragons anyway."

After thinking about it, but no result came to mind, Joshua shook his head and left it behind. At most, he could not raise two more heads as backups to afford it.

Outside the window, the moonlight was gradually replaced by the golden sunlight. When dawn broke out, the sun was slowly rising. The warrior also stood up and moved his arms.

Today is the last day of the comprehensive evaluation of Winter Castle Academy and the last day of the ring competition. When everything is over and the total score is out, it is when he appears and gives the dragon egg.

...

At the same time, the imperial capital and the royal study room.

Because of his exchange with Joshua, the luxurious study room with the dome burned to pieces has now been completely restored. The gorgeous decoration is no less than the past, or even better than before.

"how."

In the center of the study, His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire, Isrell Delmond raised his eyes from the book in his hand. He looked at the leader of the guard who was kneeling on one knee, with some impatientness: "Nash, I said, if there is no urgent matter, don't bother me during my breakfast break."

"I'm very sorry, your majesty, but this is news from the holy mountain in the distance."

The middle-aged man named Nash replied in a deep voice. He did not feel panic because of his loyalists' impatience, but recounted the news he had received in a clear voice: "From the church, the perpetrators of the God of Life have been prepared, and the 'God Healing Rite' can be carried out at any time. If you have time, they will come to perform the ceremony."

“…This is indeed good news.”

Putting down the thick ancient books in his hand, Isrel clapped his hands, his serious expression loosened a little. He said with some emotion: "If I hadn't borrowed the Fusion Star, these stone-like priests might not have given me face to tell them that I can come now if I have time at any time."

After saying this, the powerful legendary warrior couldn't help but feel another tingling pain from his lower back. He couldn't help but sigh and said helplessly: "If it weren't for the mistake that year, why should I be so impatient..."

Nash, who was kneeling aside, did not say much, as a royal secret agent

The leader, one of the closest people Isrel, naturally knew the secret wounds of the empire master. So after learning that the church was abnormal and willing to invite the god of life who had lived in the Great Temple for many years, Nash immediately rushed to tell his master.

In order to heal his hidden wounds, Isrell has been looking for many methods over the years. He has tried all the secret treasures of the elves, the secret techniques of the Western Mountain warlocks, and the magical treatments of the Eastern Plain mages. These methods are useful and can suppress the hidden wounds on his body, but they all treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and they cannot completely cure them.

He naturally tried the church's magical arts, but the archbishop who used to treat Isreal also said bluntly that the injuries he suffered were not treated in time, and he had experienced extremely fierce battles later, so the injuries had already penetrated into the essence of life and were difficult to cure any method.

Unless Isrell goes further and sublimates his own life essence and gains a trace of divinity, any ritual will be futile. If it is the strongest healing magic technique performed by the God of Life practitioners, the "Divine Healing Rite" is another matter. It is indeed very likely that the essence of His Majesty the Emperor's life will be cured from the source.

But the God of Life was originally the most silent and solitary god among the seven gods of the human race. The same is true for His priests. The perpetrator of the God of Life has always lived in the Great Temple of the Holy Mountain and almost never went out. Even with the face of the imperial emperor Isreal, he could not invite him out to heal himself.

"Fortunately, there was a dragon disaster."

Sighing softly, Isrell's mood was a little complicated. If it weren't for the dragon's disaster, the church would just need the help of the empire, it would be hard to say.

"Why, there is any other news?"

Seeing that Nash was not leaving, the emperor asked curiously: "What else is there?"

"His Majesty……"

After hesitating for a while, the middle-aged warrior replied truthfully: "The Church of the Seven Gods also said that they still need some imperial help."

"What, is that the fusion star not enough?"

Even Isreel was a little surprised at this news: "They said they needed treasures with extremely strong positive energy, so I gave them the largest fusion star in the world. Of course, it may not be as good as the one inlaid on their Grand Temple, but it is definitely enough to deal with most of the situation."

"This is not enough. Are they going to explore the abyss?"

His Majesty the Emperor did not expect that what he said happened to be the truth. Although the Abyss of Anos only had a small abyss gap, it was precisely because of this that the abyss breath that surged from this gap was extremely fierce and rapid, and could even stir up a sea area to peace. Although his core-melting star was powerful enough, it could not protect a giant ark to travel in this sea area for too long.

"No, they are very satisfied with your help..."

Not sure what to say, Nash frowned, his expression looked very complicated: "This time, the church is not asking for any holy treasures, they want one person."

"people?"

Squinted his eyes, Isrell's expression also became serious. After thinking, he asked in a calm tone: "Who do they want?"

"Jothia."
