Chapter 65: Heavenly Fire Comes
The spring of the Arad calendar in 985.
Ancient autumn city, hilly villa.
A silver light shone on the sky.
Dark red flames surged in the abyss.
A cold giant sword hovered in the air, the sword edge was extremely cold, and countless ice chips poured down from it, like a silver chain. The sword of ghosts and gods was formed by the mysterious ghosts and gods who were hosted on Midi's left arm and appeared in Midi's heart. Once upon a time, it was the sharpest and most powerful scenery in this soul world.
However, at this moment, a sharp air flow like a knife was constantly flowing in the world, not fast, but it revealed an extremely powerful aura, like a wandering dragon, with its power greater than that of the sword of ghosts and gods!
This airflow is the ultimate meaning.
This extreme intention is sometimes soothing like a warm current, sometimes biting like a cold wind, under Midi's control, constantly flowing, nourishing every part of his body, thus subtlely reshaping the body, making his strength more pure, responding more quickly, and making his nerves more tough.
There is no doubt that once this extreme intention gushs out, it will become a more terrifying weapon than the sharpest lightsaber, destroying everything that is blocked in front of you.
Being able to attack and defend can bring great help to growth is extremely meaningful.
Suddenly, Midi, who was sitting cross-legged, took a deep breath.
At this moment, the magic power that swam in the air entered his lungs at the rhythm of his breathing, and then returned to the outside from his mouth and nose. However, the wisps of magic power contained in the air gradually slowed down in this process, settled down, and then absorbed by Midi, and eventually turned into a part of the extreme intention.
As the magic power continued to pour in, the extreme intention in Midi's body was at a slow but unstoppable speed, and his body also changed a bit.
This change is deeply hidden under the skin, between the muscles, and in the blood. Except for himself, no one can see any trace with his naked eyes.
In the end, these hidden and dormant forces will eventually lead to qualitative changes.
"Level 33!" Midi opened her eyes, let out a long breath, and then stood up.
Midi silently observed that the magic and ghost energy in his body were indeed gone. After experiencing the tempering of breaking through the limit, they seemed to have transformed away impurities and left only the purest origin.
But the extreme intention grew stronger. The extreme intention was like flowing mercury. As Midi turned and wandered inside the body, he clearly felt that an uncontrollable force was about to break out of his body and release the surging torrent.
This is the level 33 brought by Jiyi.
Midi, who has the memory of his previous life, is of course very clear that this is far beyond the power of an ordinary adventurer at level 33. If you want to compare it, it is probably equivalent to level 40 of a normal adventurer. This is not the power of the spirit itself, but just a simple comparison of physical fitness.
What a powerful force!
In the previous life, Midi was framed by Fenriel of the Seth family, and was still in the shadow of the failure of the academy trial. He was ordered by his father to think about his mistakes at home. Fena, who was injured by protecting Midi, had just recovered from rest and was secretly arranged by the Hamilton family, preparing to use the family's own magic vein to transfer.
One is at the bottom of his own deeds, the other is dragged down and unable to reach the peak he deserves.
But this life is different.
Whether it is myself or Fina, they have reached an unprecedented level, leaving their peers far behind!
Not only that, the speed and quality of this upgrade can even be said to be a one-year-old and flawless.
Moreover, even Alice joined the team in advance to improve her strength, and the bond between the three is growing day by day.
Midi can no longer be satisfied. If he is dissatisfied with the current situation, it is too greedy and even the sky cannot tolerate it?
But satisfaction does not mean fatigue. At this moment, Midi is also awakening like never before.
He knew clearly that in order to protect Fina and Alice, as well as this beautiful land that had just been built, it would also take much more effort than the previous life.
This is pressure, but it is more motivation.
Because protecting the leisurely daily scenery in the winter sun is Midie's greatest wish.
And now, in the spring of 985 in the Aradian calendar, Midie knew that the first thing he had to face was a catastrophe that triggered countless chain reactions—
The fire in the Forest of Gran.
The fire itself is nothing. After all, it happened outside the principality. Even if the elves are dead, the nobles of Belmar can continue to spend time and wine. However, something that accompanied the fires change the entire continent.
Those goblins who were originally just shivering in the grass increased their level by more than 10 levels after the fire broke out, and even had the power to attack the convoy. Even if they were hit by arrows, they would no longer retreat, but instead pounced on them like rabies. Other monsters have been greatly strengthened, and they have significantly increased in terms of level, recovery, attack and defense.
In addition, various undead creatures began to appear in the wild. Not only were they very powerful and difficult to kill, but what was even more terrifying was that they would pollute the surrounding land, turning the green forest into withered dead land, and turning the prosperous town into a quiet empty city, thus increasing the number of undead creatures.
Of course, it is not just monsters that will become stronger.
Humans are also becoming stronger.
More and more adventurers are emerging after the fire of the Grand Forest, and due to frequent battles, adventurers' levels are also increasing at a speed that cannot be imagined in peacetime.
However, whether the monsters become stronger or the humans become stronger, the control of the noble lords of the principalities is constantly declining.
Midie still remembers very clearly the situation of the Principality in his previous life when the fire broke out.
The power of the monsters made it difficult for caravans to move forward, and funds and goods were difficult to circulate, which greatly slowed down the economic development of the principality and intensified the tendency of the lords to do their own affairs. The emergence of adventurers also made public security very poor. These adventurers who were not managed by the nobles and were much stronger than ordinary soldiers in terms of strength, often transformed and acted as robbers.
Therefore, under the attack of monsters and uncontrolled new forces, the Principality of Belmar, which became decadent in peacetime, was like a tower in the wind and rain, shaking.
Obviously, such a principality needs a powerful ruler to integrate it in order to obey the unruly adventurers and suppress the unscrupulous monsters.
Midi agrees with this view very much.
But the question is, who will become that ruler?
So, in order to get the answer to this question, the Queen's and the MPs finally launched a civil war in the previous life.
If the civil war really comes to a conclusion, the winners unify the principality, form a large army, sort out the system, protect the people, and be strong against the outside world, perhaps a good ending. However, in 986, when the two sides were fighting in full swing, the disadvantaged Seth family actually attracted the army of the Delos Empire.
Then, nothing happened.
The Principality of Belmar fell directly, and the nobles of all sizes were brutally massacred. Midie and Fina embarked on the road to escape...
In this life, can I change the fate of the Principality of Belmar?
Can it stop the golden flag of the Delos Empire embroidered with two crossed lightsabers from being inserted into the bell tower of Huttonmar?
Midie asked himself, but couldn't get the answer.
After all, even if you can predict the future, a person's power is still too weak in the face of war between countries. Many times, you know that something will happen, but you are powerless to stop it and can only passively accept it.
But Midi still wants to try it.
For this, he made countless preparations.
Since the end of the war with the Seth family, for three months, he has been integrating the elves and family soldiers without stopping, and recruiting soldiers from the vast territory, and finally building an army of ten thousand people, fully equipped.
He drew a large forest on the territory, creating a new habitat for the five elves tribes under Alice, and also left enough land in advance for the elves and other races that may escape from the Gran Forest in the future.
He established a large number of fortifications at the junction of the territory and the Forest of Gran, and set up beacon towers on various important roads and commanding heights of the territory. Combined with the magic vein formation under Alice, the entire territory became impregnable.
Finally, he seized every minute and every second, and used the infinite magic power in the villa of Qiu Gucheng to persist in tempering and strengthening the extreme intention in his body. Finally, in just three months, he rose to level four, not only crossing the threshold of level 30 in one go, but also making a qualitative leap in physical fitness.
Although Midi is only at level 33, it is enough to be comparable to level 40 adventurers. This does not include the power of extreme intention, it is just a simple comparison of power, agility and reaction speed.
No matter when and where, strength is always the most trustworthy.
This is a belief that Midie has never wavered.
Just as Midie felt the new feeling brought by the upgrade, the sound of footsteps that were as light as the melody of the music echoed in the corridor.
The red-haired girl with vitality and vitality all over her body, and the black-haired girl who stood proudly on the snow lotus on the mountain peak, walked into the training ground shoulder to shoulder.
The three of them are now living in the villa together, sharing infinite magic. However, Fina and Alice are not the type who like clingy people, and everyone has their own things to be busy during the day. They basically won't disturb me when training.
Now that the two of them appeared at the same time, a premonition suddenly arose in Midi's heart.
"What happened?" he asked straight to the point.
And as Midi expected, that sentence finally came.
"The scout urgently reported that the fire of the Forest of Gran." Fina replied, with a hint of solemnity in his always confident and arrogant voice. "The fire area is very large, and it is said that the flames cannot be extinguished. The Hamilton family has also confirmed that the connection between the Principality and the Elf Kingdom has been interrupted."
"The aura of the forest has also changed. The monsters are in agitation. The power of the demon vein is being absorbed wildly, which is a bit abnormal." Alice added from the side, her tone is colder than usual.
The Grand Forest Fire is finally here!
Midi raised his eyebrows.
When this fire that had a full twenty-year impact on the Arad continent and opened the prelude to the turbulent era really started to burn, Middy found that he was particularly calm.
Because everything you should do has been done, and everything has been done the best.
Because of my strength, I have improved and even gained the "extreme intention" that I have never seen for a thousand years.
Because, they are by your side.
What should come will always come.
