Chapter 29 Secret Communication
[To the new head of the Radcliffe family - Joshua van Radcliffe]
【Your Faithful Fan】
[When you see this letter, you should have led people to eradicate those pests in the city. Artanis is my good friend, and he is a priest with faith. I entrust this letter to him, of course it is absolutely Rest assured, but just in case, I would like you to prove it. 】
"You really have so much confidence in me, do you actually think that I will definitely succeed? Although it is true, but you have something to explain, why don't you come and talk to me in person?"
Standing in the study of a mansion in the west of the city, Joshua held this seemingly ordinary, but it was a secret letter left by Fan, and heaved a long sigh.
Now, he is in a place further west than the Cemetery Church in the city, in a courtyard of the Radcliffe family. Due to the collapse of the lord's mansion, the soldiers have nowhere to go, so they can only come to this place that is vaguely remembered in his memory. A little impression of the other courtyard. Although this big house with a yard does not look gorgeous, it has a quaint taste. There are no weeds or dirt. The decoration and cleanliness are very good. It should be the reason why someone often comes to clean it .
He asked Hotaru to look around alone, and he found a quiet place, and read the letter that the old housekeeper handed over to Pastor Artanis alone.
Opening the envelope, Joshua found that all the follow-up contents were hidden by a small magic circle, and it was completely blank. If he forcibly cracked it, the contents would be easily destroyed. If he wanted to cancel it, he seemed to be required to provide some proof.
"Could it be this?"
After thinking for a while, Joshua raised an index finger and ignited a small amount of battle energy flames. The red light flickered. He raised the light and slowly approached the magic circle.
hum.
The runes on the magic circle rotated for a while, as if they were being verified, and then accompanied by a clear sound like glass breaking, the magic circle was released, and the subsequent content returned to normal, reappearing on the blank letter paper.
Indeed, fighting qi is something unique to everyone, even if the breathing method is the same, the nature of the fighting qi trained is quite different.
Nodding slightly, Joshua continued to look down.
【Master——no, it should be said that it is the new Patriarch. When you read this letter, I must be dead. 】
[Don't be sad for me. Since the master who is the contractor is dead, I can't continue to survive. The reason why I can survive for a while is because the previous master unfettered my energy core... Now I just sent his bones and myself to the family cemetery in order to complete my last task. 】
[The two magic machines prepared for you, who did you choose? No matter who it is, you must know how the God Machine exists. Then, please allow me to explain the origin of the God Machine and the contract between the Radcliffe family and the God Machine. 】
In the first paragraph, the information revealed was already beyond Joshua's imagination.
Indeed, the old housekeeper had only ten days left to live and the state of his life was indeed very close to the information in the letter. This was indeed not a lie, and what he said afterwards was also confirmed by the information on the system.
Fan's death seems to be an unavoidable thing... Really, it is helpless.
Secretly clenched his fist, Joshua glanced over.
The family grave... the one in Black Forest Keep? The Radcliffe family, which originated from military exploits, has never forgotten the source of its own glory. Born in blood and returned to the battlefield is their portrayal. Even if they die, they must be buried with weapons. The family cemetery is in a corner of the fortress. Adjacent to a small church.
Now is not the time to think about these things.
Joshua took a deep breath, narrowed his eyes, and continued to look behind. The subsequent content must have surprised him even more.
[The magic machine is not a product of this world—to be precise, the manufacturing methods of me, us, and all the magic machines come from another world, a world destroyed by evil spirits and monsters.
The origin of all this must be traced back to 347 years ago.
Three hundred and forty-seven years ago, four hundred and eighty-four years after the star fell, due to the revival of the "ancient dragon, Huang Heilong Elbatelion", the great Ajax volcano was screaming, and it was about to erupt, and thick smoke enveloped the entire northern ice sheet , the huge magic shock disturbed the fluctuation of time and space, and the imperial capital completely failed to transmit the magic circle to the north, which caused the fortress group left by the ancient star to fall into the inner sea, which is now the blind sea, lost its source of supply, and it was difficult to continue. In order to assist the fortresses in the distance, the empire formed an unprecedented luxurious exploration army, and recruited all the elites at that time. This expedition army only had two hundred people, but all of them were strong enough to be a thousand. The task is to crusade and drive away the ancient dragon Huanghuang Black Dragon, appease the Great Ajax Volcano and restore the smoothness of the teleportation array in the north.
The crusade against the ancient dragon came to an end without a problem. The brilliant black dragon Albatrien had long since disappeared, and he did not know where to go for a new round of long sleep. However, the pacification of the volcano went very smoothly. The lava pool ceased to be active, the Great Ajax Volcano would not erupt for a thousand years, the teleportation network quickly recovered, the fortresses were resupplied, and the exploration army was preparing to return after a short rest.
However, just the night before returning home, there was a change in the vast black forest below the mountains.
The center of the forest exudes a dark and gloomy light, and the mysterious light patterns that ordinary people cannot understand flicker, and the dark and turbid smoke spews out from the light, forming various strange lines, and the magic power is therefore chaotic. Life is generally split open, and countless unprecedented and unheard of strange monsters emerge from this crack. They have different shapes, some even look like plants or even machines. These monsters are not afraid of magic or fighting spirit. Only pure physical attacks can Cause obvious damage to them.
But just that, there is no way to stop this exploration army, which is all elites of the empire. A strong man among the dwarves, Iron Body Moya is keenly aware that the minions of these monsters can easily tear their own flesh and blood. The body, not only that, although these monsters will turn into black and ash after death, they can always leave something to settle down. These materials are extremely hard and can accommodate the entry of various extraordinary energies. This should be The reason why monsters are not afraid of magic power and vindictiveness.
Use these materials to coat everyone's weapons on the spot, and then go to fight. Sure enough, the originally tough skin and muscles are easily torn. In this way, even if the number of these monsters is continuous, there is no tendency to decrease at all. , The Exploration Army did not have the slightest fear.
The battle lasted until noon the next day, and the black smoke from the monster's death even covered the sun, but as the tide of magic receded, the channel for the monsters to emerge seemed to be temporarily closed. The imperial capital attached great importance to this news. While asking the exploration army to stay in place to wait for instructions and allow free exploration, the legendary powerhouses of the empire also began to prepare to leave.
