Kashni's home planet, a post-war no-man's-land.

The vast land was silent in darkness, and the noisy streets of the former were covered with a veil of silence, except for the mournful sound of the wind echoing over the wasteland. The starry sky hung upside down, and the meteor crossed the deep blue half of the sky, flickering and disappearing, as if it were tears of compassion in the sky.

The dilapidated building stretched out towards the top of the sky, like the outstretched arms of countless unjust dead.

Huge craters of unfathomable depth, surrounded by incinerated almost vitrified ground and lifeless abandoned dwellings, are everywhere with no-go signs.

The blind swordsman easily crossed the barrier, sneaked into the no-man's land like a ghost, successfully found a crumbling house, and carefully pushed the door in.

As soon as he entered, an enthusiastic voice came from inside the house.

"Great, I thought you weren't able to come because of something. "The person who spoke up was a tall, muscular man.

He was unusually burly and rugged-looking, with short thick black hair and a shallow beard on his cheeks. Wearing heavy one-piece armor, from the breastplate, gauntlets, gloves and even combat boots are pure white, the surface of the armor is stamped with the Holy Light, which is the symbol of the Holy Light Church on the Arad continent.

But unlike his unusual physique, the man's eyes were very gentle, much like some kind of large herbivore.

Behind this man, however, was a golden warhammer that was more than two meters tall and engraved with the mark of holy light.

This outfit proves that he is a member of the priesthood, and that he is the highest rank of the Divine Thinker among them.

"I almost didn't make it here, I was being chased by a group of mechanical creatures before I came here, but luckily they weren't particularly powerful. The blind swordsman walked up to the priesthood and gave each other a warm hug:

"It's a pleasure to meet, and with Jada Akspa, the Thinker, we can get our revenge much faster. ”

"I'm also honored to meet Kidan, the ghost swordsman who learned the entire Fluctuation Secret Book at a young age and is known as the god of thunder, Indra. Jada the Divine Thinker said with a smile.

"It's just a name, when I used to be an adventurer, everyone ridiculed me for not being as valuable as a stainless steel basin. The blind swordsman said modestly, and asked suspiciously:

"Where's the rest? You're not the only one, right?"

"Above. The Thinker smiled and pointed in the direction of the beams.

“......”

Keidan raised his head and silently let go of his senses—only to find that there was a petite little girl sitting on the beam, about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a slightly curly red double ponytail.

She held the round baby face in her hand and looked at him from up from a high place with interest, the girl's eyes smiling, crimson eyes full of curiosity, and shaking her boots consciously or unconsciously.

The red-haired girl looked cute and heroic, wearing a black and white striped top with a brown leather corset, black shorts on the bottom, revealing her smooth and snow-white calves, wearing a pair of black leather gloves on both hands, a purple crystal embedded in the back of the gloves, and behind her petite body, a war spear several times taller than her was erected.

"This is Miss Butch, a battle mage by profession, and her deeply awakened state is called Ishtar War Spirit, which claims to have the ability to approach the Apostle. The Thinker stood aside and introduced matter-of-fact in a matter-of-fact manner.

"Good evening, Mr. Kidan, my name is Butch, I'll be in your group from now on, so get along well." The girl said with a smile on her face.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Kidan listened unconsciously, and subconsciously felt that this red-haired girl was unfathomable, and she must be a strong teammate!

“......”

The Thinker took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, and said with a solemn face, "There should have been another Miss Nicole, but she was late, so let's wish her good luck." ”

"No, I'm actually the first one to come. A low female voice came out of the darkness, startling the three of them.

"Who!"

Kidan immediately drew his short sword and aimed it at the dark corner due west, and the blade instantly swirled with wisps of electricity.

"Looks like she's already here. The Thinker folded his shoulders.

"Cut, it's that guy, it's just going to be tricky. The red-haired girl tilted her head with a look of disdain.

Under Kidan's nervous gaze, a vague figure gradually became clear, and facial features gradually emerged from the dark shadow, and the last dark elf girl with chocolate-colored skin appeared in front of everyone wearing tight leather armor, white hair and red eyes, hiding her head in a hood.

She lifted her chin and looked at everyone with indifferent eyes, bowing her head slightly in friendship as she looked at the Thinker, and then looked critically at Kidan, observing it for a while, and nodded at him, as if reluctantly acknowledging his strength.

Only when she looked at the red-haired girl, she was expressionless for a while, and then decisively skimmed her face, as if she didn't want to deal with her.

"Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean!"

Seeing her action, Battle Mage Butch jumped off the beam of the room like a fried cat, looked up at the dark elf girl who was half a body taller than herself, and said through gritted teeth:

"I see contempt in your eyes, you don't respect me!"

"Yo, isn't this Miss Butch, the 61st ranked Battle Mage in the Adventurers' Guild? The voice of the dark elf girl sounds very magnetic, with a hypnotic feeling, but when she speaks, she is very poisonous, directly attacking the weakness of others.

"Huh!?are you 61!?" Kidan was taken aback.

He also knew that this ranking was a ranking of the popularity of powerful adventurers who had awakened deeply when they formed a team.

Objectively speaking, the lower the ranking, the weaker the bird, he himself ranks around 20, and the Divine Thinker is the top of the list all year round; I didn't expect to see the legendary 61 one day - you know, in the list of the Adventurers Association, there are only 61 places in total! 61 means that her strength ranks first from the bottom among the adventurers who are deeply awakened.

Hearing Kidan's startled voice, Butch immediately turned his head and glared at him viciously:

"I hate that number the most!"

"I'm sorry. Kidan hurriedly covered his mouth and said that he would not make an example.

"By the way. The dark elf girl leaned into Kidan's ear and whispered, "Although her strength is ranked 61, she is the top master when she bullies her teammates. ”

"You're too deceitful!" the red-haired girl gritted her teeth as she stared fiercely at each other with her crimson eyes, eager to pierce each other with a spear.

“......”

The dark elf girl looked down on her condescendingly, watching the anger on her little face grow stronger and stronger, and her originally cold face suddenly sneered, pointed to her own face and said:

"I'm in the top five. ”

"You're still !!"

Seeing her triumphant face, Butch went crazy, drew his spear from behind and rushed forward, thinking that he was going to fight her to the death, but fortunately, the Divine Thinker was quick to carry her back collar and lifted the excited battle mage into the air.

"Let go of me! let go of me! I'm going to stab her to death!" the petite red-haired girl screamed with rage as she struggled.

"Okay, okay! Everyone will be members of the same regiment in the future, don't make any more trouble. ”

Seeing that they were about to start fighting as soon as they saw each other, the Divine Thinker could only accompany the laughter and mediate: "Everyone finally met, and they haven't started revenge yet, so they can't just kill each other, right? ”

"Jada is right, our common goal now should be to avenge the culprit who destroyed the Arad continent!" Kida chimed in.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, I shouldn't be sarcastic about you. The Dark Elf Maiden didn't seem to be as difficult to communicate with as it seemed, and after hearing their words, she readily apologized to the battle mage.

"Hmph! Butch stopped struggling, and the Thinker, seeing that she was no longer making a fuss, let go and let her fall to the ground.

"Ahem, ahem, Kidan probably doesn't know her yet, does he?" the Thinker glanced at the Dark Elf Maiden and introduced to the Blind Swordsman:

"This is the dark elf Nicole, whose profession is a shadow dancer, and the state after deep awakening is called the Netherworld. She is a blade hidden in the dark, an assassination expert better than anyone else, and an elegant Dark Reaper. As long as she is targeted, no matter how strong the target is, it will not be able to avoid becoming a bloody corpse. ”

As soon as the words fell, he turned his gaze to the dark elf girl again, pointed at the ghost swordsman Gidan and said, "Miss Nicole, this is Your Excellency Kidan, his profession is Asura, and his deep awakening state is called Thor Indra. ”

"Ghost swordsman, I know, it's okay except for the one who wields the lightsaber. Nicole nodded calmly.

"Ahem, ahem!"

Ji Dan was choked by her cough, and felt that he was also a ghost swordsman, and it was necessary to defend the brother who used the lightsaber: "The highest level of swordsmanship is not to hurt others, but to help friends, and you who stay in the mortal realm will definitely not be able to comprehend the mystery of the realm of the sword god." ”

"No matter what realm the Sword God is, let's not talk about him for now. ”

The Thinker took out a map from his arms, spread it out, and pressed it against the wall, his tone suddenly became cold: "This map is the distribution map of the military bases of the Machine Empire on the home planet of Kashni, and one of the military bases seals the gate of the Temple of Eternity. Legend has it that the First Light Caroso was sealed at the end of the Eternal Temple, and if we can find the Eternal Temple, we may be able to awaken the First Light!"

"Is this picture from a reliable source?" Nicole raised a beautiful brow.

"I promise to be absolutely reliable!" Jada the Divine Thinker nodded and said seriously, "Although the Machine Empire dominates the galaxy, it also has many enemies, and many people are willing to support us. This map was provided by a high-ranking member of the Kashni Federation, and her information is absolutely reliable. ”

"So to speak. Butch bit his white index finger and looked at the burly Thinker, "The next thing we should do is to find the door of the Eternal Temple, and then try to release the primordial light?"

"Almost, according to the high-ranking person...... Caroso has lost his formality, but he is able to share his power with others. As if trying to convince himself, the Thinker exclaimed, "We have the same enemy as him, and he will help us!"

"There is only one way to defeat the strongest apostle. Gidan said with a sigh.

"We must move quickly!" said the Thinker as he put away the map and said in a solemn voice, "The power of that tyrant is recovering, once he regains the power of his heyday, the current Primal Light is no match for him!"

"We can't be greedy either!" the dark elf girl looked into his eyes, and her expression became extremely serious:

"The strength of our deep awakening is only that of the Equal Immortals, and there is still a considerable gap between us and the Apostles, let alone the tyrant of the Machine Empire. Once he personally intervenes, even if he is seriously injured, we will not have the slightest chance of survival. Therefore, this operation can't be brutal, we have to sneak in!"

"Do you have a good idea?" asked Keidan quickly.

"Yes...... But...... The stakes are high. The Dark Elf Maiden said with some hesitation.

"What?" Butch pricked up his ears.

"Surrender. She looked around at the faces of the three and said syllable-by-syllable.

One-one-one-one-one-one

"A bunch of Arad remnants have not been cleaned up until now, do you want me to take action myself!?"

Ivan sat on the wide Sun Throne, looking at his subordinates who had returned again, his voice revealing a sense of anger, his eyes couldn't help but become cold, and the force field unconsciously released spread out, Ling Ran's majesty filled every inch of space in the hall.

"I'm sorry. The golden clown bowed his head and said ashamedly:

"Although those are small remnants, their strength is not weak, and even a little beyond the ordinary. According to our reviews, each of those deeply awakened adventurers has the strength of an immortal. And for some reason, they are not affected by doom, and because of this, it is almost impossible to destroy them with a regular army. ”

"Not affected by bad luck, it is mostly Caroso's refuge...... This time it was a hornet's nest, so many immortals, it really couldn't be solved for a while. Ivan was troubled by the group of adventurers and waved his hand:

"Stop the encirclement for the time being, send someone to talk to them, tell them about the situation that they had to do at that time, and finally—as long as they are willing to submit, why not give them another Arad continent?"

"Your Majesty, what do you want to talk about...... It can definitely be talked about...... It's just that you have to watch out for them to surrender. The Golden Clown said worriedly.

"Of course I understand that. ”

Evan frowned, covered his right chest with his hand, and said calmly: "If you become my knife, they will be stained with blood, and it is not so easy to jump back." All in all, the longer it drags on, the better it will be for me. ”
