Chapter 1 Meeting with God
On June 11, 837, the Northern Empire, the Lord's Mansion in the inner city of Moldavia.
In the kitchen in the mansion, a silver-haired girl was humming a somewhat out-of-tune and relaxing song, sorting out the ingredients she had just delivered.
The girl's eyes narrowed happily, and a pair of eyes looked like fluorescent green crystals, with magic light flowing like flames flashing inside. From this point of view, you can know that his master's strength has crossed the barriers between silver and gold and became one of the superiors. At this time, the young golden-level girl tied her long silver hair into a ponytail, then stood happily in front of the pool, cleaning a bunch of plump purple grapes.
The tempting fruit fragrance mixed with the fluctuations of vitality that can be clearly sensed came from the bunch of seemingly ordinary grapes. After cleaning, it was placed in the crystal fruit tray beside it. Firefly carried this plate of fruit that looked very valuable and walked all the way to the study on the second floor of the Lord's Mansion.
Along the way, in the corridor beside the window, you can see the black dragon girl floating on the water in a human form in the courtyard outside the window. Her face was bloodless and she looked dying. A ball of light rolled around on her belly. This was because the black dragon girl who was not interrupting her training on her own and instead ran to the North Mangran Sea to swim. Now, the black dragon girl with doubled training volume was essentially confined to Moldavia because of exhaustion. She soaked in the pool of the lord's mansion. It was a rare time for her to rest.
Passing by the hall, you can hear calm conversations. Rin was instructing the maids in the mansion to replace the various decorations inside the lord's mansion. Because the master had too many spoils, a small castle could not be displayed at all, so decorations like dragon heads, magic horns, and demon specimens were changed in a quarter. For ordinary people, this should be terrifying. Whether it is the dragon bones or the horns of monsters, they all had some of the pressure they had during their lifetime, let alone the malicious fluctuations brought by the demon specimens, but looking at the dull expressions of the maids, it seemed like they were very accustomed to it.
Walking up the second floor and passing by the secret room, Ying heard No. 3 talking to herself. Naturally, she couldn't understand what she said in "the server load is 45%" and "Hey, why is there a bug here again?" Since the information terminal officially began to be popularized, the artificial intelligence girl seemed to talk to herself from time to time. Fortunately, No. 3 has many clones, and now the one located in the lord's mansion is only the one dedicated to work. As far as Ying knows, the other party has at least two clones in the city, one is responsible for reading and walking, and the other is responsible for monitoring and eating.
Walking slowly, Firefly opened the door of the study, and entered it with a fruit tray, and then placed it in front of a man sitting on the sofa, closing his eyes and meditating.
"Master, this is a special grape developed by the elves recently. I heard from them that it can accelerate wound healing and provide a certain amount of vitality. Of course, the most important thing is that it tastes delicious."
He said softly, the silver-haired girl knew that although the man in front of her closed his eyes and meditated, if he wanted, he could scan the entire northern land with his eyes closed, even the remains and monsters that were thousands of meters deep underground were the same.
"Yeah, thank you."
Opening his eyes, Joshua nodded slightly. He picked up half a bunch of grapes from the crystal fruit plate on the table in front of him and threw them into his mouth. He nodded: "It tastes good. This ability to accelerate wound healing is similar to that of No. 14 Holy Water in a short period of time. The extra vitality can also slightly strengthen the physique... The elves have cultivated good things."
"Hey" On the side, I had already sat beside Joshua. The firefly, who was about to serve the warrior, blinked the big green eyes of the firefly. She looked at the grapes that had been lost and complained in disappointment: "At least I'll peel it..."
What can I peel when eating a grape?
Although he thought so in his heart, Joshua did not say what he had to say. He did not need to eat at all. Whether it was peeling grapes or eating food, it was just a habit and ritual as a human being... This is how life is, there is no need to be too serious.
On the side of the study, the newly purchased large LCD screen was playing the replay of the Royal Channel's morning news. Amid the melodious music, two hosts, one man and one woman, preached the general trends of foreign countries from the empire's purge action. The special spokesperson from the Magister Weekly also spoke frequently and explained the inside story in detail. Overall, it was probably because of the dire straits abroad and the domestic reforms were actively carried out.
In just less than two months, the world has become very different. Not to mention anything else, the LCD screen and its extended "news reports" and "current affairs analysis" can be regarded as revolutionary developments.
Through the joint research and promotion of Winter Castle Academy and Guantian Baita, LCD screens have begun to become popular in half of the continent. Almost all rich people with a little money will put an LCD screen in their homes. This special crystal that comes from the ancient dragon derivatives and can adjust color and brightness through special electromagnetic waves and magic power is a natural magic material, and it can even be said to be a naturally formed magical creation itself. After careful planning and cultivation, the Empire and Guantian Baita have been able to produce LCD on a large scale and sell it as a product.
"There are so many new things recently."
Sitting beside Joshua, Firefly carefully peeled a grape and then put it into Joshua's mouth. She glanced at the LCD screen and sighed: "I feel that the changes in the past seven or eight years are not as big as the last six months."
"Of course."
Joshua was eating grapes, and he looked at the LCD screen and replied casually: "After all, this is a new era."
Since the end of the legendary war that caused the will of the world and affected several worlds, the entire Mycrov world has been changing with each passing day, as if it felt that the constraints and oppression were gone. Basically, all the major forces have begun to make comprehensive improvements and innovations. They have taken out a little of their stuff that they have been under the box and displayed it to the world.
In the Northern Empire, the third batch of information terminals are being manufactured at the industrial base of the East Bander Plateau. Most of them have been packaged and can be activated and used immediately. Most of these information terminals with a number of more than 100,000 will be distributed to the army, and the remaining small part will be sold in the market, allowing ordinary people to gradually adapt to this novel thing.
In addition to information terminals and LCD screens, the Void Warship has also become an important propaganda point of the empire and has entered the eyes of many citizens. However, since most people do not understand what Void exists, for them, the Void Warship is just a faster and stronger floating warship. The response caused is surprisingly small, and it is even far behind the original expensive transmission cost of the teleportation network optimized by Nostradamus. After being improved by the legendary powerhouse, it has dropped to one-third of the original price. For most people, this is great news.
In addition, in the past two months, the restless nobles in the empire have become much more honest. Under the guidance of Isrell, who is high in the throne of the observation deck, the originally free and scattered empire has either taken the initiative or been forced to integrate. Even the most rebellious local nobles are trembling under the attack of the Tianhuo system. They don’t want to resist, but everyone understands that when a legendary strong man is unreasonable, then he is the truth.
In Xishan, in addition to actively preparing for war and preparing to annex the surrounding principalities, a special spiritual communication array is spreading among the local group of psychic warlocks and mages. This is a spell that can unite consciousness. Participants can share the speed and inspiration of thinking, and strengthen the tenacity of the soul and will. It can greatly increase the work efficiency of the caster, but because the two parties who are engaged in the unit will lose their spiritual communication, it is difficult to use even the closest people.
In the world of spell casters in Xishan, this special spell caused an uproar. Many people criticized it morally and ethically, accusing it of destroying the independence of human soul and will. A small number of spell casters who supported it believed that this is the direction of future cooperation and progress in human beings. The debate and struggle between the two have caused large-scale academic disputes, and the struggle in reality is also completely foreseeable.
Compared to Xishan, there are too many novel magical creations emerging in the eastern plains. Even if you choose a few typical examples, it is very difficult to use artificial soil elements to cultivate fields driven by elements, artificial water elements that are automatically watered and fertilized, rune machine tools that can mass-produce simple magic items, and can turn soil into rocks and turn rock into soil. Alchemy puppets of automated construction that can turn soil into soil... After years of academic accumulation, all magic clubs in the entire eastern plain have more or less thrown out several bottom-pressing technologies. In competition with each other, the eastern plain is almost on the eve of magical changes.
These are all things that major forces took out in the Abyss War in the previous life. Looking at the LCD screen, the host showed off various novel technologies from all over the world one by one, Joshua couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that they have it now. I thought that they were all temporarily thought out at that time."
These techniques are not unfamiliar to Joshua, and can even be said to be very familiar with them.
Just like the teleportation network and the Xishan Communist Party spirit spell, these two are technologies that only appeared in the past life when fighting the invasion of the abyss. In order to fight against the almost ubiquitous army of demons, the empire must not spend huge amounts of money to strengthen the original teleportation network, greatly reducing its transmission cost, and preventing interference from various special conditions and maintaining the stability of the transmission.
The three-person magic circle used by the psychic warlock who is too sensitive and can easily be eroded by the power of the abyss to prevent mental pollution has become the standard configuration for their battles at that time. As the saying goes, a psychic warlock is a joke. When two psychic warlocks are met, you need to be careful. Three psychic warlocks must run directly because of its existence. As for morality and ethics, let’s discuss it when you win the demon.
The automatic building puppet in the Eastern Plain was named "full intelligent automated building template" in his previous life. The Eastern Plain spell caster who lost a large population due to the tsunami had to use alchemy puppets to farm, build and fight. Of course, it was not change at that time, but helplessness after being forced into a desperate situation.
These technologies, which used to be combat trump cards or helpless substitutes, are now just immature ideas and conjectures. They were top secret technologies used for war in their previous lives, but now everyone has taken them out as civilian technology to improve and use them little by little, making the world even better.
Of course, these are the progress of mankind themselves, and there is another aspect that needs special attention to this world.
That is the coming gods and the boundless heaven.
Amid firefly's protest, Joshua picked up a grape from the plate on his own, swallowed the improved magical plant from the elves, then looked up casually, his eyes penetrated the wall, and looked at the sky.
In the west of the world, there is a circle of obviously visible twisted space, surrounded by holy light, like a gentle white moon.
The Borderless Heaven has been completely integrated into the Mycrov world, and the inheritance seals of the gods have fallen into the mortal world. The mist of divine evil is looking for its own inheritors in the world and passing on ancient knowledge. These inheritances originating from the Age of Light may be somewhat out of place or even outdated in some places, but their subtlety is enough to make the legendary powerhouses today nod and admire.
Like some time ago, in the early stage of the Great Demon Tide, there were also many divine mists in the empire, but compared to the mystery and unknown at the beginning, they already had the experience given by Joshua. Now, after a period of time of reclaiming the land, these divine mists have become trial places in various places. Many organizations, including Winter Castle Academy, use them as trials to hone the next generation. Due to the effect of divine power, some lucky people can occasionally bring out various precious materials and relics from the previous era.
In addition to the mist of divine disasters, the seven gods and other races of gods have recovered from fatigue, but their resurrection is silent, just like a drop of water merges into the river in the East China Sea, and countless fishmen cheer and excitement, because the gods who protect the deep sea and the mermaids descend to the mortal world, huge jellyfish float into the sea and enter the temple nest prepared by the fishmen for him. This is the highest-profile god coming, and the arrival of other gods quietly, without even any turbulence.
A week ago, the gods joined forces to show miracles. They swept the continent of Mycrov with divine power and cleared the haze and death energy deposited by many years of war on it. Countless undead were redeemed. These souls who were sleeping in the unknown Jedi, died in war, conspiracy, selfish desires and betrayal were freed from resentment. In the holy light that tolerated everything, all souls were included in the twisted space in the boundless heaven, located at the top of the western mountain range.
Apart from this, the gods never took action and showed miracles.
Is this abnormal? For many ordinary people, this is indeed difficult to understand, but in fact, it is normal. God is not a monkey. God does not need to show his strength to people. They only need to fulfill their duties and will be someone to boast about their names. The gods become saints and come to the world not to call the wind and rain in the world, but to prevent the world from being turbulent because of the demon tide.
But this does not mean that God does nothing. Just like the Far South, one of the seven gods, the God of Love and Death, descended to the location of His largest temple, which is the forest of the elves. It is rumored that the nature teacher and the elves met the god and had an in-depth exchange that lasted for many days.
So far, no news has come from the elves, and they are tight-lipped about the content of the communication.
This kind of thing actually happens all over the world. Although the gods have no intention of creating big news, their every move has attracted everyone's attention. For example, the Xishan dwarves welcomed the God of Law and Freedom, the White Tower of Heaven and Wisdom and the God of Choice, and the Church of the Seven Gods, the Holy Mountain Fortress ascends to the void, it connects with the Eye of the Saint, becoming the largest artificial facility outside the world of Mycrov. It is rumored that all the incarnations of the Seven Gods of the Human race have talked to Pope Iger here, but no one knows what they talked about, and everything is surging in the dark.
There are more and more different places in this life than the previous life. The world of despair, chaos, malice and disputes has become such a peaceful and positive appearance. The previous life has developed rapidly due to war. Although there is a system, the flawed technologies are now appearing in an incomplete manner. However, Mrs. Mycroo no longer needs to drink poison to quench thirst. They have time to modify the defects in these technologies and make them become civilian technologies without any side effects and reproduce the world.
In the north, Moldavia, in the lord's mansion, Joshua stretched out a finger and closed the LCD screen in front of him.
Seven days.
He touched the firefly's head beside him, and his long smooth hair slashed across the warrior's palm. The girl let out a comfortable hum. Joshua closed his eyes and continued his meditation.
Seven days, seven days later, the incarnation of the God of Power and Justice will come to the East Bander Plateau. He wants to meet with the three legends of the Empire. No one knows this, only Joshu, Isrel and Nostradamus. What is the purpose of the gods wanting to talk to them?
The warrior was very curious, he could not wait. With his eyes closed, Joshua felt the power in his body.
