Chapter 1 Darkness among the stars

When Kiraya set foot on the frosty land in the north, memory couldn't help but go back to the distant afternoon when her father took her to the sea of ​​sorrow at the end of the world to watch the ice thirty-four years ago.

It is located at the southernmost pole of the continent, thousands of kilometers away from the Mycrov continent. Her father once said that, a thousand years ago, this place was originally a paradise for life to reproduce and prosper. There were countless cute and swaying black and white fat birds living here. A special race named the Sinrea also lives on this continent made of ice, hunting seals and slutting fish, and living a peaceful and peaceful life under the protection of the mother of the earth and the gods of the oceans.

Kiraya didn't care about the past of the black and white birds and the primitive people, but it was the base camp of the last survivors of the Earth Temple, which was once prosperous a thousand years ago. She was not unable to distinguish the difference between the north and the south, but when this young female elder of the Earth Temple saw the familiar snow and ice, she couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

The Earth Temple is now divided into pieces, and the Relic Castle in the ice field is no longer the base camp of theirs.

From the wide rocky avenue in the suburbs, walking into the satellite city where guards and knights patrolled from time to time, Kiraya calmly walked past the eyes of the tall horses, young but imposing Radcliffe family guards. After entering the city, her beautiful appearance immediately attracted many people's attention - although there are people with all kinds of hair on the continent of Mycrov, very few people with purple gem-like hair, not to mention that this strange woman has an inexplicable charm that will attract others to get close to each other involuntarily.

"I am a high-level profession." He quickly shook his head and woke up from the natural charm. A knight immediately said to his colleague beside him nervously: "The strength should be at the high level of the golden level. Notify the White Dragon Knights and make emergency preparations!"

"There is no need to make such a big deal, right? Nowadays, several golden strong men come to visit the Lord of the Lord in the main city every day... Who would attack under the noses of the legendary strong men? Wouldn't that commit suicide?"

Another knight patted the war horse under him who was breathing. He was not attracted by the charm, but his horse could not control himself and wanted to kneel down and surrender to the other party. This made him laugh and scold: "I have fed you for so long, but I can't stand the beautiful face of others?"

Although he said that, the news of a powerful golden man entering the city was quickly reported layer by layer, and was notified to every corner of the city. Nowadays, Moldavia has basically popularized communication magic arrays. Now that the most difficult and most expensive charging link has disappeared due to the greatly increased magic concentration, this simple magic array has long been mass-produced around the world, and the North is just the first batch.

Kiraya naturally knew this, but she didn't care. It would be better to say that this was part of her plan and told the adult in advance that the messenger had arrived as promised.

And before the other party's invitation, or order, came, she wanted to have a good look at the city.

After passing through many places, the southern satellite city was just foundation and a simple frame, and coming to the surrounding of the inner wall of Moldavia, Kiraya looked at this vibrant northern city. On the side of the road, there were half-grown boys holding snowboards and preparing to go out to play in the suburbs. On the snowy side of the road, you could also see many children under ten years old laughing and throwing snowballs at each other. Most of their parents were sitting aside, smoking tobacco or drinking half a bottle of turbid wine, watching this scene with a smile.

“It’s so good…”

The young female elder of the Earth Temple couldn't help but sigh. She stopped and looked at the children who were not worried about their safety even when they went to the suburbs. Their thoughts were flying. This might be just a daily life for the locals, but it was extremely difficult to enjoy for the intelligent life in other areas of the Mycrov continent. Beyond the city walls, there is the realm of monsters and thieves. As long as you leave the city, the lives of civilians will not be guaranteed. Farmers who farmed need every household to prepare bows and knives. Even if they can't beat the sudden attacking monsters, they must at least support until the guards arrive. For them, let alone go to the suburbs to play, they will be frightened even if they leave their own acre of three-point land.

In other parts of the world, most civilians have never seen the scenery a hundred miles away from their hometown. Some of them have never even left the land where they were born. Here, in Moldavia, in the north, children can go out of the city to play freely without worrying about safety when they were young, crossing the river, climbing mountains, and seeing the scenery in the distance. This is a kind of sublimation of knowledge.

Many people believe that the existence of legendary power will suddenly become a land of outstanding people, and a steady stream of strong wise men will appear and join the other party's banner. Ordinary people attribute it to legendary power and believe it is their teaching, but Qilaya believes that although it is also because of legendary power, the most essential reason for the change is just because of the broader vision. A child who has seen a broader world since childhood is completely different from a child who has been wandering around his home for the rest of his life. The "size of the heart" is the root of the difference between the two.

"Dear Elder Qilaya, Lord Lord is waiting for you."

Accompanied by the sound of horse hooves, a team of fifteen people suddenly appeared beside Kiraya, who was enjoying the city. This team had three knights, eight archers and four gun shield guards. The leather armor and armor on their chests were engraved with the city guard logo. Seeing their arrival, the civilians around them automatically retreated and made room for them. However, the young female elder just smiled and shrugged: "The speed is so fast, he is a real elite."

"Your praise." Nodded slightly, the knight in the lead was not moved by Kirayan's face with a little charming ability: "Please follow us."

But the female elder who had done his homework before and knew the location of the Lord's Mansion was a little confused: "This is not the direction to the Lord's Mansion."

"Lord is not in the Lord's Mansion now." Another knight replied in a low voice: "Lord is patrolling the city guard station before, so he will meet you at the tower not far away."

This is a good explanation. Kiraya doesn't think there is anything wrong. She was the weaker one this time, and she would do whatever she wanted, without taking care of her emotions.

However, the armor of these knights is really luxurious. Looking at the escort of the city guards who surrounded themselves, rather than defending, Kiraya noticed that their armor had looming magic patterns, which meant that the least was an enchanted equipment. It seemed that every city guard patrolling the streets had the same equipment, which almost meant that they had almost popularized magic armor - something that was simply unimaginable before the great demon tide.

Before this emotion could dissipate, Kiraya soon arrived at the city wall tower not far away. At the entrance of the tower, the city guard team that "escorted" her was disbanded and returned to their own posts. The female elder, who was in a relaxed mood all the way, subconsciously took a few breaths to relieve the sudden chest tightness and tremor that had just happened.

"This pressure...is even more than the magical artifacts in the Great Temple..."

Looking deeply at the top of the tower, Kiraya suddenly smiled and shook her head, and strode towards the top. When she learned that she was the one who appeared to meet the rumored cruelly murdered count, she had already made corresponding psychological preparations. Even death could not make her hesitate, let alone just pressure.

She came to the top of the tower and saw a man's back. He was wearing a black cloak with no patterns or decorations to show off. He did not react at all to Kiraya's arrival. He said lightly until the other party was half kneeling on the ground: "Come on, betrayer."

This sentence undoubtedly hurt Kiraya's heart, but she could not refute it. Because she knew that even if their past had a noble reason and a last resort, they had done something to betray all the lives in the world of Mycrov. If the situation was still the same as hundreds of years ago and they succeeded, then they might be the heroes who saved the world in the curve, but now that the flames are rekindled and they have failed, they are irreversible betrayers, especially in the face of this man, the hero who seems to dominate the rekindling of the flames...

"Huh, God's descendants?"

Turning his head, the man raised his voice slightly, as if he was curious: "The Temple of Earth is very sincere, and it is not a cannon fodder to reconcile... Okay, don't kneel down, I didn't release my pressure, stand up and repeat what your high priest wanted to say to me."

"Yes, sir."

Her head was lowered and she instinctively did not dare to look at the other person. For some reason, Kiraya couldn't even raise her thoughts of resisting, but obediently did as the other person's words. She immediately repeated the words of the old high priest in the Great Temple in the minute.

Joshua listened to the retelling of the mixed-blood god with a gem-like hair in front of him, but his heart sank slightly.

"Aren't the one who came here?" He thought helplessly.

The female elder of the Earth Temple who had been in contact with the imperial family a long time ago expressed his desire to reconcile with the Radcliffe family smoothly retelled the words of their high priest, removing meaningless information. The meaning of the expression was roughly as follows: the original Earth Temple camp, which is the hidden forces that have been promoting war behind the scenes for hundreds of years, joined forces with the Five-Colored Dragon Clan, the Abyss Demon and the Evil God believers, have now been divided into more than a dozen scattered organizations that did not support the original plan. The faction that had not supported the original plan has now completely separated from the organization, and has washed itself and is safe as a noble, mage or local force. The original plan for "falling into the abyss" was also divided into more than a dozen scattered organizations of all sizes.

The Kiraya faction is a conservative temple group. Most of them are mother gods with the blood of the Earth God. They empathize with the pain they felt on the Mycrov continent, so they have been committed to eliminating this pain, that is, repairing nature through various methods, or even reshaping nature. Of course, this is useless. The Mycrov continent was dead from the bottom of the roots, and no matter how they repaired it, it would be useless, so they also became part of the abyss. However, the faction where Nolan was originally a radical faction who took the initiative to contact the demons of the abyss and even evil gods. They were already crazy because of the pain. Rather than eliminating the pain, it would be more of a desire to share the pain with everyone in this world, so that everyone can experience the horror of the world's impending destruction.

Now that the Seven Gods Church and the Southern countries have joined forces to suppress the lurking forces of the Temple of the Earth, both the conservatives and radicals have fallen into a hint of embarrassment. It’s okay that the radicals are originally crazy people who are similar to cultists, while the conservatives are a little troubled. Although they did plan a lot of conspiracies, the flames have rekindled and the earth has revived their vitality. They have lost their motivation and motivation. Now they have no interest in starting up, let alone confronting major forces such as the Church of the Seven Gods. There are even large groups of surrender and reconciliation within the organization. In desperation, the Temple can only send a large number of envoys to every force that has been more or less counterattacked and intends to bleed and negotiate.

As the conquerors of the Abyss of Anos and participants in the Battle of the Crazy Dragon, Joshua faced the replicas of the Embers Sword. The Temple of Earth did owe him an explanation, and he had a close personal relationship with the Pope of the Seven Gods Church. If possible, I hope to introduce them.

Even such words were said, but the other party did not lie. Joshua nodded. There were indeed not many people who dared to lie to her now, and Kiraya was not one of them. Although she could speak calmly and smoothly in front of him who showed hostility, she was still a long way from hiding silently.

But since you are not the main master, you have no interest. There is no grudge and no meaning in peace talks. Just when Joshua planned to stop this conversation and send the gods out of Moldavia, Kiraya seemed to have a premonition and suddenly said: "The High Priest once said that with your personality, you will definitely not be interested in this kind of thing, so we are willing to regard you as the [Empress of the Mountains] of the Temple of the Earth and hold the highest authority in our descendants of the Mother God..."

"The Mountain Envoy?"

This sentence immediately made Joshua frown slightly. He had also once attacked the God of Earth Mother God [Rock Mountain Giant God] in his previous life. Of course, he understood what the title of Mount Envoy means, which is an authority that is comparable to the high priest of the temple and an honor that can communicate directly with God.

"But..." The warrior temporarily gave up the idea of ​​sending Kiraya away. He asked in confusion: "Isn't that the title of Titan only?"

Chongshan, thunder, forests, rivers, etc., should only be awarded the title of the son of the Earth Mother Goddess and the pure blood Titan. For the people in the Earth Temple who are willing to take the entire world to the abyss for the dead Earth Goddess, even if they are facing the Seven Goddess Church head-on to perish, they will never make concessions in this regard.

"Don't you just have the blood of the Chongshan Titan?" It was Kiraya's turn to be surprised. She even subconsciously raised her head and said, "The power of steel on your body is the best proof!"

"Interesting, when will I become a Titan blood again?"

Touching the battlements at the tower beside him, Joshua smiled. He did not think there was anything wrong with the speculation of the Earth Temple, because his steel power had indeed been guided by Urbandeni, the Honest Titan of the Grantia world. His true body was even more like a steel giant like a Titan. This familiar aura made the other party misjudgment. He even praised the other party for his keenness.

And everything makes sense - I accidentally offended my family before, so now of course I have to reconcile as soon as possible.

"But this reason is not enough. Let's continue to tell the whole truth."

Of course, Joshua knew that he was not a descendant of Titan at all, but because he thought of Urbandeni's guidance, the warrior planned to give the group a chance: "Your heart is beating rapidly, I can see your blood flow and the trembling of muscle fibers... You can't hide a legend."

Feeling the increasing pressure, Kiraya was shocked to realize that Joshua had indeed deliberately restrained his pressure before. She forced herself to explain in the illusion of monsters roaring and darkness spreading: "Because... in this world, only Chongshan Titans have the prototype of the power of steel, and other Titans are just ordinary elemental powers... Even in the heyday of the Temple of the Earth Mother God, there were only a few people holding the power of origin, and now in this world, you are the only one..."

"We have lost the inheritance of steel, and the Great Temple system has declined because of this, and the radicals have seized power..."

Almost all of her body was trembling, Kiraya's voice became lower and lower. Joshua, who felt that the other party was about to fall into a coma, curling her pressure slightly, allowing her to say it smoothly: "The high priest means that he should make friends with you at all costs. For this reason, we can offer the classics left by all the mountain envoys and practitioners of the power of origin during the thousands of years or even the era of the glory! "

Wouldn't it be better to say it earlier? After blinking, Joshua really didn't expect that there would be such unexpected gains. He thought for a while, and planned to ask someone to drip the nervous sweat all over the floor, almost exhausted, and then contact Eagle later to ask about the situation and make a determination, but what he didn't expect was that Kiraya seemed to think that this meant that the warrior was still planning to refuse, so he raised his head with a look of crazy look and looked straight into the warrior's eyes.

"You will be interested!"

He said with a cough, and Kiraya's voice, who was almost suffocated by the resentment and pressure of Joshua, revealed a pathological distortion: "In those tortured days, we did everything, lurked into various countries, studied ancient magic, searched for ancient dark relics, and analyzed the black forest restoration environment... This is our original limit. The Temple of Earth was originally a loose organization spontaneously gathered by a group of descendants of divine blood. Even if we thought about it for ten thousand years, we could not think of how to fall into the abyss, and it would never be related to the Five-Colored Dragon Clan and the Abyss Maharaja..."

"What are you trying to say?" Unexpectedly, there was still secret news. Joshua immediately turned a stern face and continued to ask, but at this time Qilaya was slumped in the third place and was almost in shock. She could only hear her murmuring like these words.

"It's them..."
