Chapter 23 Sudden Explosion

In the calendar of r41&77, the beginning of each year is different from the public's perception. They divide the year into four parts: the time of awakening, the time of prosperity, the time of prosperity, and the time of silence, and the time of awakening every year is the beginning of the new year.

This is the earliest prototype of the season on the continent of Mycrov. The four concepts of spring, summer, autumn and winter all come from the druids' calendars, but their calculation methods are not fixed, but adapted to local conditions. For example, in the north, when silence is the time of winter will be greatly extended, and the beginning of the year, that is, when waking up, it will be delayed to April or even May, but the imperial capital of the same period is about to enter a prosperous time.

The Northern Empire is not a traditional country of a single ethnic group. Its people include dwarves, elves, dwarfs, halflings, vampires, cavemen and other ethnic minorities. Its festivals also come from different sources. The customs of the druids also occupy a place. When it is prosperous, it means that the natural power of the year will reach the peak at this time. Therefore, many banquets will be held at this time, and the celebration banquet to wipe out the orcs is set at this time.

"One city gate, there are more than a hundred city guards guarding it."

The imperial capital was still brightly lit in the late night, and the obvious light was still visible through thousands of meters. At the end of the endless stairs, in front of the white city wall, Joshua looked at the gorgeously decorated city gate with an ancient atmosphere with interest. His eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the rocks and see the little fire of life behind him. He easily counted the number of these soldiers at the city wall and the city gate, and judged their respective work through their actions: "There are also alchemy equipment, various artillery and magic archery towers on it, which are really strictly guarded." r

This is also natural. As the capital of a country, it is normal to guard the guards no matter how strict the guards are. Just when the three soldiers were stationed, the guards guarded at the city gate had already discovered their figures. Since the sun has set for a long time and time has entered late at night, the guards' actions have become alert. They take the initiative to move forward and prepare to investigate the origins of the three.

It has to be said that the eyesight of these imperial guards is not better than their ranks in other cities. When the team leader saw Joshua, he trembled all over and immediately realized that the other party's strength was definitely not something he could measure. After asking in fear and respect, the guards who got the answer all shouted: "Please come in, please come in." Then he gave up the closed entrance.r

Logically speaking, they should also check the family emblem or other proof of identity, but an ordinary city guard recognized Joshua's face, and no one dared to talk to the warriors for a few more words, so the matter was left unresolved.

The gate of the Holy City is very spectacular even at night. Thirty-six marble pillars support a long corridor. The reliefs on the stone pillars depict the scene when the city was built. Due to the protection of magic, they have not fallen off and changed color after hundreds of years of wind and rain. They are as white as they were back then, which is amazing.

After passing through the city gate, it was the outer city of the imperial capital. Although Joshua was from the far south in his previous life, he had been here several times in the imperial capital of the Northern Empire. After all, he had friends all over the world. Occasionally he wanted to find someone to download a dungeon, and he also needed to teleport around. So the soldiers knew that the Three Mountains Holy City was divided into three parts, one was civilians, merchants and various public facilities such as the large library and the outer city where the Grand Arena was located, the other was the inner city where the city hall and the noble mansions were located, and the last was the Morley Palace where His Majesty the Imperial Emperor lived.

As he saw outside the city, the imperial capital was still coming and going at night, with dim lights. He stayed in the outer streets with his two weapons for a while. After observing the daily life of the people in the imperial capital, Joshua went directly to the inner city, where the Radcliffe's family was in the imperial capital. r

Passing through the main road of the imperial capital, there were more and more people. Although the celebration banquet had not yet begun, the joyous atmosphere had begun to spread. Various flags were hung on the streets and wooden signs for special rewards were placed in front of the taverns and hotels. It was not until this time that Joshua vaguely felt from the side that the complete extermination of orcs was how important it was to the people of the imperial people who suffered from the invasion.r

There are shops, squares, and fountains above them. There are crowds of smiling people everywhere. Under the night lights, Joshua naturally smiled. On this bustling street, he also felt happy. After all, due to the weather and temperature in the north, there will be no such crowds on the street at any time, which makes the soldiers who like lively feel a little uncomfortable.r

Just as he was about to change his mind and first go around the outer city and wait a while before going to the inner city, Qiao Xiuya suddenly felt a familiar aura approaching.r

"Oh?" r

Stopped, Joshua frowned and felt it seriously for a while, then his brows stretched out: "So they, did you notice that I was here so quickly?" r

Ying and Lin, who also stopped, were already wearing a gray cashmere cloak. This was not because the temperature was too low, but because the concentration of magic energy in the imperial capital was too high, and the spiritual body of the divine machine would naturally react and emit fluorescent light. Therefore, the two simply covered their whole body to avoid attracting attention from people around them.

Ying and Lin didn't care about the owner's sudden stop. Anyway, for them, this trip was just a simple travel and relaxation, even if it was a banquet, it was just a by-pass. Whatever the owner wanted to do, then do whatever he wanted. r

And after a period of time, a carriage slowly drove from the other end of the street.r

This is a carriage made of black-shaped cloud wood. It has no eye-catching appearance, but its value is far beyond that of ordinary rich people who show off their wealth. Black-shaped cloud wood has powerful magic resistance. It grows on the top of a mountain with dense water elements. There is no possibility of artificial cultivation in a short period of time, and its value cannot be measured by money.

Generally speaking, this material is used to make precious magic glue, applied to various alchemy equipment that require high precision and the fine gold shield, to ensure that the magic power in the atmosphere cannot interfere with the operation of the equipment, and to give the large shield a layer of anti-magic coating. The whole carriage is made of it, and it cannot be described as luxurious. With Joshua's knowledge, even sighs at the wealth of its owner.

The carriage drove slowly and finally came to the warrior. Before the groom could stop him, the door opened. Joshua looked up and saw two acquaintances' faces.

Brandon Cahos, and Nostradamus.r

"My friend, Joshua van Radcliffe." r

The blonde man who already had two daughters simply walked out of the carriage. His lips raised, his hands opened, and he laughed and said to the warrior: "I felt the breath of the sky blue pearl a few hours ago. At that time, I thought you should come, but there was no one looking for the teleportation array. Teacher Nostradamus said that he could find you, so I came with him." r

"It seems that you have indeed found the right direction." r

Joshua walked forward and hugged the friend whom he had not seen for a long time. He smiled and said, "I came all the way from Bai Ge City. The scenery along the way is very beautiful. This is not something you can experience by sitting in the teleportation array." r

The two of them exchanged greetings, and on the side, the white-haired old mage also got off the carriage. When he heard Brandon's words, the old man shrugged, then looked at Joshua's clothes carefully. He said with a hint of humor: "I won't say too many greetings, my vice principal... The golden mage in Ural Fortress is my former student, Joshua, listen to him, you seem to have been assassinated by those reptiles again?" r

After receiving the warrior's affirmative answer, Nostradamus's face became cold. He frowned and said, "I attacked the nobles of the empire again and again, and the Five-Colored Dragon Clan was so crazy that it was so crazy. Chaos actually put their minds..." r

"Teacher." r

Before he could finish speaking, Brandon, who was standing beside him, interrupted Nostradamus's words: "We will talk about this kind of thing later in the association." r

As he said that, he also looked around the streets. Although the crowds on the streets were not dense, they were indeed crowded. It was a bit too risky to talk about chaos in this situation.

"You're right." r

The old mage also noticed the inappropriate behavior of his behavior just now, coughed, Nostradamus shook his head and said, "I have been discussing this issue with the guys in the association just now, and my head is a little confused... Joshua, aren't you going to sit in the Royal Mages Association?" r

Speaking of this, the old mage smiled: "Whether it is the Haiyuan derivative or the Crazy Dragon virus, you have helped us a lot. Many people plan to visit you. If they give gifts, don't refuse." r

"Of course there is no problem. I'm not a polite person." r

Seeing a familiar friend in the imperial capital, Joshua felt in a good mood. It was not a big deal to go to the Royal Mage Association for a walk. Of course, he would agree: "So, let's go now?"

"Go to go." r

Brandon was also a decisive person, three people, plus two magical machines wearing cashmere cloaks, got on the carriage directly. Under the driving of the coachman, the black carriage slowly headed towards the inner city and the Royal Mage Society.r

On the top of the carriage is an exquisite crystal magic lamp, representing the runes that rise and fall in the wick, emitting white glory. The decorative style of the carriage comes from the eastern plains three hundred years ago, in the era of the seven-star mage parliament, the stars and runes representing them are scattered everywhere in the carriage, as if they are in the starry sky.

The carriage was also equipped with coffee and other drinks. Joshua and Brandon naturally picked up a bottle of unknown times. Anyway, the unchecked wine started to toast, while Nostradamus poured two glasses of milk for Ying and Lin in the annoyed eyes, then filled a cup of coffee and started drinking.r

The things discussed by the three men naturally had nothing to do with the romance. After a while, the topic turned to the Dragon Far South. With his personal experience in his previous life, Joshua easily pointed out that Brandon and Nostradamus had several misjudgments on the situation. He would not have any humble thoughts. Their feelings and praise of the warriors were completely accepted, and the atmosphere gradually became warmer.

But at this moment, all three of them suddenly frowned, and the carriage suddenly became quiet. An ominous premonition spread in their hearts, but no one could guess the history.

Boom!!! r

The huge explosion sounded like this, and it suddenly appeared on the east side of the city beyond everyone's expectations. It was accompanied by screams and exclamations from the crowd on the street. The originally lively and cheerful atmosphere was instantly replaced by horror. r

Then, a huge alarm sounded throughout the city.r
