Chapter 13 Sword and Axe, Fire and Steel

After looking around, Joshua found no information worth paying attention to except for seeing the statue of the Seven Gods of the Humans in front of the hall that seemed to have been renovated. This is an ordinary church with wooden seats, painted glass, and fine murals and statues. Although it is a bit old, it is very clean and there is no dust: "The prayer hall is still the same, but it always feels not dirty. Is anyone cleaning it?"

The seven statues in front of the hall mean that this place does not worship a certain god, but believes in all the seven gods of mankind. Joshua can see that this is the most widely circulated temple of universal faith on the road. After all, for the people, it is definitely better to believe in seven than to only believe in one.

"I've been here..."

After thinking for a while, Joshua slapped the wooden chair beside him with his right hand and asserted: "When I was a child, my father would bring me here every week."

If Joshua had just thought that his father was more respectful to God, but now it seems that there must be some secret behind this. He frowned and recalled seriously: "At that time, he would go to a room in the side hall alone, leaving me alone to play with the knights, and there must be secrets inside."

When he thought of it, Joshua walked towards the side room where he still had an impression. Through the altar and confessional room, he came to the side room with little windows and some darkness. When he walked to the door of the room on the left in the middle, Joshua felt the heat on the back of his hand again.

"It seems that this is right."

After trying it, I found that the door was not locked. I opened the door and entered the room. At first glance, Joshua found that the closed room was unexpectedly not dark.

This is a private study room with black granite floors, and there are some stones emitting golden light on the ceiling as light sources. They should be fluorite fragments, and there are huge bookcases on all four walls. A desk made of Feiyunmu was placed in the center. Looking at the decoration, Qiao Xiuya couldn't help but tsk, feeling a little emotional: "It's okay to say that fluorite fragments are good. Feiyunmu is a high-end wood that coexists with Fuyuelong. Its texture is enough for weapons, and it is actually used as a desk..."

Now is not the time to worship the rich. He roughly observed the surroundings with the light of fluorite fragments, and soon found clues.

“There are cracks on the floor.”

The legendary warrior's eyes were so sharp. Even if his strength was no longer as strong as before, his observable ability was still strong. In addition, players were already good at scraping the ground and searching for clues, Joshua was extremely skilled and found obvious flaws on the floor: "Although it was well concealed, the wear caused by frequent openings cannot be removed."

With his hand stretched out, the warrior was about to try if there were any switches and traps around him. However, the moment his hand touched this special granite floor, a magic pattern suddenly flashed on the surface. Just as Joshua thought he had triggered the trap and was about to retreat, a low and rigid machine sounded.

"Energy detection... frequency bands meet, target: Joshua van Radcliffe, the first heir of the family, the highest authority sequence, the door opens."

"From fire, born from steel, wisdom is immortal and order lasts forever."

With the ancient hymns, the black rock slowly opened, revealing a narrow passage leading to the underground in front of Joshua. But he paused for a moment and did not go in immediately. Joshua frowned and began to recall the source of the hymns.

In the late stage of the third edition of the Conflict Continent, there is a very difficult public copy in the void of the new map astral realm. Its full name is [Ancient Sacrifice Field that connects all worlds]. Players generally call it abbreviated as the Sacrifice Field of the Worlds. In the core area of ​​this public copy, there is a huge square stone tower. There is a stone tablet at the entrance, with many inscriptions written in ancient characters on it.

And the previous praise comes from it.

Legend has it that before the world appeared, the entire multiverse was nothing, nothing, and only the indescribable chaos crawled in the nirvana.

However, fire emerges from nothing, light shines on the void, distinguishing between existence and nothingness, order and chaos, light and darkness. This fire is the initial source of all things. It gives all existence power, allowing chaos to retreat and material manifestation. This is the origin of the world where all things live today.

Fire burned out the chaos, and the remaining remains were steel. As the order strengthened, life gradually became born. All things gained soul and wisdom from fire, and also gained body and strength from steel. Human beings are one of them.

Relying on fire, man name everything without a name, sum up laws and logic, perfect order, and determine the value and meaning of all things. Man uses the hope, persistence and enthusiasm brought by fire to open up this wild world. Steel is the beginning of creation and the source of strength. It is born from fire, but pure because of man. Man uses bones, stones, bronze and steel to cast tools and weapons to deal with all disasters, battles and disputes. The calmness, reason and cruelty brought by man use steel to deal with all problems, and to judge all sins that should be judged.

It originates from fire and is born from steel. Wisdom is immortal and order lasts forever.

This is the earliest and only creation myth that players know in the continent of dispute. Even the seven gods of human race and other races have never refuted this statement. Joshua also saw a high-quality post on the game forum that researched and analyzed this myth, but he had no interest at all and had never clicked it.

He was indeed a little surprised to hear this sentence here. After all, the mainstream belief is the Seven Gods of the Human race. The worship of the initial fire and the steel of origin has long since retreated. Only in ancient books can they be seen traces.

"I remember that the mages of Guantian Baita have argued that magic comes from the remnants of the initial fire in the multiverse, and Dou Qi is the condensation of the steel power of origin in the body of every life."

Joshua stared at the passage and walked straight down.

There is nothing to worry about. He has to go on anyway, no matter what, since that is the case, there is no need to hesitate.

The passage to the underground is not long. Every distance, there will be shining fluorite fragments embedded in the walls to provide light. Not long after, Joshua arrived at the bottom, an empty hall.

In the center of the hall is a huge statue, which is a giant hand holding an iron hammer and wrapping around the black snake. The courage contained in it makes people feel that the giant hand will wave the giant hammer and hit the earth at the next moment.

On four sides of the hall are many rooms, which are placed with many common equipment used by alchemists and mages, and even crystal forging tables and elemental furnaces. Such expensive things as the heart of the elemental furnace make people feel like they are coming to the workshop of the great alchemist. However, only one passage in front attracts Joshua. He has a premonition that at the end of the passage with a faint light, there is an existence calling him to come.

Joshua walked quickly towards the front. The passage was dark and dark, with no light except in front of him, but not long after, his eyes suddenly became clear.

A huge and complete fluorite hung above the room at the end of the passage, and the unique fishy rust of steel came to his face. Even Joshua narrowed his eyes slightly. After getting used to it, he opened his eyes and observed the room carefully.

"What's this……"

Asked a question in confusion, Joshua looked at the room again.

In the underground darkroom below the cemetery church, there are countless weapons inserted into the ground, including knives, guns, big swords and giant axes, and even flails and cross hammers. But one thing is the same, that is, they are all very worn and have countless traces of rotten rust on their bodies.

Among the hundreds of weapons on the verge of decay, Joshua felt that this was a tomb, a tomb of weapons, but for some reason, two weapons attracted his sight.
