"However, Josius is now in the imperial capital to meet His Majesty the Emperor, and I estimate that he will probably be back in two days, so you need to be patient in the meantime. ”

Seeing that Lynn was relieved, Father Edward then reminded.

"It's all right, it's good to ask the Earl for help, thank you, Father, thank you. ”

Waiting for a few days is not worth mentioning to Lynn. He was a man of gratitude, and he was grateful to Father Edward from the bottom of his heart.

"You're welcome, young man. The Seven Gods have guided me to help all those who have righteousness in their hearts, and you and your sister are good children. ”

In the face of Lynn's thanks, Father Edward was very humble and polite.

It is not difficult to see from this that he is indeed a good priest who is highly respected and worthy of respect.

"This old man looks fierce, but I didn't expect him to be quite warm-hearted, and he really can't be a person. ”

Father Edward's performance was seen by Qiao Xiu in an invisible state from beginning to end, and he had to give a thumbs up to the bald old man in front of him at this time.

"And the clergy of the Church of the Seven Gods on the Crove Continent is completely different from the church priests in those novels I've read before, I feel so righteous. ”

The bored Josius compared the old priest in front of him with the church personnel in some of the novels he had read before, and the result was very different.

In many novels, the church and even the gods are often the villains, who deceive sentient beings for their beliefs, and even harvest their existence in captivity.

"Well, anyway, there's hope. Next, it depends on whether this Northland Earl can give it or not. ”

Seeing that there was hope for a turnaround in the affairs of the Lynn brothers and sisters, Qiao Xiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"It should be very powerful.,After all, it's the protagonist template character who is open.。 ”

Thinking of the open life of the Earl of the Northland in Lynn's memory, even Qiao Xiu, a bystander, had great confidence in him.

"Thinking about it, I'm looking forward to seeing this cow again......"

......

Naturally, Qiao Xiu's thoughts would not be known to Lynn, and after the matter of asking for help from the Earl was decided, Lynn and Father Edward had a brief exchange, and then left with his sister full of joy.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is another three days.

Three days later, in the morning, Father Edward sent a young priest to the inn to find the Lynn Linna siblings and inform them that the Count had returned to the Lord's Palace.

Then the Lynn siblings followed the young pastor to the Church of the Seven again.

"Lynn, Josius has returned to the Lord's Mansion last night, you two should come with me to the Lord's Mansion to meet him now. ”

Seeing the Lynn siblings, Father Edward didn't talk nonsense and directly offered to take them to see Josius.

"Okay, Father Excuse me. ”

Lynn naturally has no opinion on this.

Then under the leadership of Father Edward, the three of them soon came to the gate of the Lord's Palace.

The guards at the gate of the Lord's Mansion were no strangers to Father Edward, and after a few simple questions, they let the three of them enter the Lord's Mansion.

Under the leadership of the servants of the Lord's Mansion, the three of them went directly to the reception hall of the Lord's Mansion to wait.

"Lord Earl, Father Edward has arrived, and he has asked to see you. ”

While the three were waiting, a servant soon came to the earl to report it.

"Well, I see, you go down first. ”

In fact, there is no need for the maid to report, as a very strong person, the earl's perception is far beyond the scope of the entire lord's mansion, and there is a mysterious existence in the earl's mansion that is monitoring everything in the lord's mansion at all times.

So the moment Father Edward and the siblings Lynn entered the lord's mansion, the Count knew of their arrival.

However, because he still had a little important business to deal with, he didn't go out to meet him in advance.

"Alas, Ling and Leng are two little guys who are asleep, and no one helps me with official business, so I'm really a little unaccustomed. ”

After the maid had gone down, the tall young count stood up and grumbled a little.

"Josius, you can actually leave these official duties to me. ”

Just then, a voice sounded, and then a petite woman with wings appeared in front of the Count out of thin air.

"No, Three, you don't have a physical entity yet, and to help me with official business, you need to borrow the bodies of the maids, which is not good for them. ”

The Count shook his head at the Phantom Woman's words.

"How so? I leave their bodies without leaving a trace. ”

The female phantom was a little puzzled by the earl's worries.

"Anyway, the possession thing is not very good, so you just need to help me take care of the situation in the Lord's Mansion and the surrounding area. ”

The Count didn't explain much about this, but he did give a word of advice.

"Alright then, whatever you want. ”

Seeing this, the woman's phantom did not say more, and suddenly disappeared in front of the earl.

After the vanity of the woman's apparition, the Count strode out of his office and soon made his way to the reception hall.

"Good morning, Uncle Edward. Who are these two?"

When he arrived at the reception hall, the Count was the first to say hello.

"Well, I'm sorry, Josius, I came over early in the morning to disturb you. These two children are the Lynn Linna siblings, and they have encountered some problems that I can't solve, so I would like to ask you to help take a look. ”

Although Father Edward was a good friend of Earl Josius's father, he did not have the slightest intention of relying on the old and selling the old in front of Josius. Of course, he wouldn't be as adoring or in awe of Josius as anyone else was.

The communication between the two is more like a friendly relationship between peers.

"Greetings, Lord Count. ”

Lynn, who was next to him, was a little excited to see his idol so close for the first time, and he couldn't speak very well.

"Well, hello, Lynn. ”

Count Josius is tall and handsome, but because he has killed too much, his temperament is very iron-blooded and cold.

When ordinary people see him, they tend to feel fear and fear, as if he has an aura of fear over him.

Fortunately, there were three people next to him, one was a gold-level Holy Light priest, and he was often in contact with him. One was a blind little girl who couldn't see him. The last one is a die-hard fan of him, who adores him immensely.

In addition, Josius only has a cold temperament, but in fact, his tone and attitude are very peaceful, so the three of them are not as trembling as others when they see him.

"Uncle Edward, you're referring to this little girl's eyes, right?"

Josius deserved to be a powerhouse of the Extreme Intention Rank, and he didn't need Father Edward to speak, just looked at Lyna next to Lynn and guessed the problem.

"That's right, Miss Linna woke up the night two months ago and lost her sight. I had tried to treat her with the Holy Light Healing Technique, but nothing worked. There was neither a reaction from the power of the Chaos Evil God, nor a change in the symptoms of a natural illness. ”

Father Edward was not surprised by Josius's acumen and crispness, and he didn't talk nonsense at the moment, but explained it directly.

According to the little girl, she had a strange dream that night, in which she saw many small silver stars falling from the sky, and when she woke up, she could not see anything. I searched a lot of books, but I couldn't find any information that matched them. ”

Fr. Edward explained the situation further.

"Oh, doesn't even the Holy Light have any effect? That's weird indeed. ”

After listening to Father Edward, Josius raised his eyebrows, obviously feeling a little surprised.

He had a clear understanding of the power of the Holy Light, and as the most powerful Sage in the Crove Continent, he was very powerful in dealing with the power of chaos and healing.

Even this kind of power has no effect, and the little girl's illness is not trivial.

"Come, little girl, and show me your eyes. ”

As he spoke, Josius took a step forward and bent down to whisper to Lynn next to him.

At the same time, he stretched out his large, strong hand and pressed it lightly towards Lin Na's eyes.

Josius's outstretched palm shone with a dark red fighting aura, and a special silver-white light loomed in it.

"Hmm!"

At the moment when the palms of Jocius' hands touched his eyes, Lin Na suddenly snorted, and her originally pale eyes suddenly lit up with a silver-white glow, which looked like two small silver stars.

"Nana ......"

The sudden change in Linna's body made Lynn, who was holding her, feel nervous, but she didn't dare to react, for fear of affecting the Earl's detection.

"Is this the force? the culprit who caused Linna's blindness. ”

Father Edward, who was next to him, looked at this silver-white power and whispered to himself.

"But this force doesn't look like an evil force. ”

"Well, that's supposed to be it. ”

Seeing that the little girl was in great pain because she had used the Dou Qi Detection to cause a mysterious power reaction, Josius quickly took back the Dou Qi and the palm of her hand.

"Moreover, there is a familiar smell to this force, which I seem to have seen somewhere. ”

After Josius withdrew her strength and palm, Linna returned to normal again, and the shining silver glow of her eyes automatically dimmed.

Josius himself discovered some clues through this brief contact.

"Oh, what power? Josius, have you seen a similar power anywhere?"

Father Edward was a little surprised to hear Josius say this.

Originally, although he was very confident in Josius, he didn't expect him to find out the crux of the problem at once.

"Well, if I'm not mistaken, the silver power that came out of the little girl's eyes just now is very similar to the nature of the power on the Metal Python Calis, which I came into contact with in the Wingman World before. ”

Looking at the surprised Father Edward and the nervous and expectant Lynn, Josius didn't sell it, thought about it and said truthfully.

"Fullmetal Python, Josius, do you mean the legendary Soul of the World?"

Hearing Josius say this, Father Edward was shocked.

Although he had not come into contact with the legendary Steel Python, he had heard of the legendary World Soul of the Crove Continent.

"That's right, Calis is the soul of the world of the ruined Wingman world, the Cyborda of Steel. The power that just came out of Miss Linna's eyes gave me the feeling that it was very similar to the power of Calis, but it was slightly different. ”

Josius then explained.

"But what makes me wonder is how the power of steel suddenly appeared on Miss Linna's body?"

It is not surprising that Josius is puzzled by this, because the power of steel, also known as the power of the world, is the magical power that creates the world and creates all things, representing the rules and authority of a world, and generally only the steel python, the spirit of the world composed of the power of steel, can control it.

"It seems that this time I need to meet this old friend of Calis. ”

For this question, in the opinion of Josius, it is most appropriate to ask Calis, who is a steel python.

"Wait, I'll get Calis. ”

Josius was a resolute man, he did it when he thought of it, and as soon as he gave an explanation, he raised his right arm.

It can be seen that there is a strange symbol imprint on the back of his right forearm.

As Josius closed his eyes, the tattoo-like mark suddenly lit up with a silvery glow.

"Jossius, are you looking for me?"

In a different time and space that others could not perceive, a silver python that stretched for hundreds of miles opened its eyes and looked at Josius and asked.

"Well, Calis, I would like to ask you something, there is a little girl next to me who seems to have a power similar to yours, and who has lost her sight because of it. ”

Josius and Calis are also old friends, so the conversation is very straightforward and not polite.

"Oh, are you sure? She has the power of steel in her?"

After listening to Qiaosius's words, the silver python, which had a calm face, also showed a shocked expression.

"It's very similar, but the feeling it gives me is a little different from the power in you, so I'm not sure, I need you to come over and confirm, is it convenient for you to come over now?"

Josius sent a direct invitation to the silver python.

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll go over. ”

......

"Alright, I've asked Calis to come over, it should be there soon. ”

In the Lord's Mansion, Josius, who had originally closed his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the three people beside him.

"Hmm. ”

As soon as the words fell, Lin Na's eyes, which had calmed down, glowed with silver again.

"That's right, Josius, this kid has the power of steel, but it's very weak, it should be just a fragment of the power of steel. ”

But it was the Cybora Calis who had arrived.

"yes, do you have a way to strip it off? The kid looked miserable. ”

Lynn and Edward next to him couldn't see Calis, who was the soul of the world, and only Josius, who also comprehended a trace of steel power and held the mark of Calis's steel, could see and communicate with it normally.

"There's no need, since the Steelpower Fragment chose this child, that's her chance, and I'll help her fuse it in advance, and it'll be fine. ”

As soon as Calis's words fell, an even more powerful silver light appeared out of thin air, instantly enveloping Linna.

"Nana!"

Seeing this situation, Lynn, who didn't know what was going on, was very anxious.

"It's alright, Lynn, it's Calis helping Linna. ”

Seeing anxious Lynn, Josius quickly explained.

"Ah, is that so? Lord Earl?"

Hearing the idol's words, Lynn calmed down a little.

"Look, it's fine. ”

Josius pointed at Lyna and smiled at Lynn.

Lynn turned her head to see that the silver glow that had wrapped her sister was gone, including the silver glow that came out of her eyes.

"Okay, Josius, the power of steel on this little girl has completely fused with her, her eyes are fine, and she will have some more extraordinary abilities, which can be regarded as some small gifts left to her by the fragments of steel power."

Out of sight, the massive Cyborda Calis said to Josius.

"Excuse me, Calis. ”

For this, Qiao Xiu expressed his gratitude.

"You're welcome between you and me, Josius. However, there is one thing to remind you, the appearance of the fragments of the power of steel on the ordinary people of the Crove continent shows that the Great Demon Tide is getting closer and closer to your world, and similarly, the army of the Chaos Evil God is estimated to be not far away, so you must prepare as soon as possible. ”

Speaking of this, the tone of the Steel Python Calis was very solemn and serious.

"You're saying that this shard of steel power was brought by the Great Demon Tide?"

After listening to Calis's words, Josius's face also became solemn.

"That's right, the Fragments of the Force of Steel, unless the Steelpython voluntarily separates, only the destroyed world will remain. And the Great Demon Tide swept through the vast time and space, and I don't know how many worlds were destroyed along the way because of the Chaos Evil God or other reasons, so there were countless fragments of steel power mixed in it. There are no other Steel Pythons near the Crove Continent except for my Calis, so this Steel Power fragment could only come from the Great Demon Tide. ”

"I see......"
