Soul of Burning Steel

Brandon who came running along witnessed all this. He looked at Joshua, who was obviously in a bad mood, and calmly comforted him: "Joshua, don't worry, this is probably the automatic upgrade function of the magic machines. Good thing."

Although the blond swordsman didn't know much about the Divine Machine, he could at least tell that Yingying's aura was stable, and that the slumber this time was not dangerous.

"Really? It's just an upgrade?"

Joshua repeated the sentence, his eyes were still worried, and he said with some uneasiness: "Although I didn't pay much attention to it before, but now that I think about it, it is indeed some very strange things..."

Hotaru's lethargy is not a recent phenomenon. Ever since the time-space gate was destroyed and the two returned from Moldova, she has been a little tired, and the horse at home is also a bit strange, often very irritable, although every time he passes by They will all return to calm, but they will indeed suddenly become agitated.

Not only that, Joshua himself has been a little depressed recently, feeling uncomfortable...

Beside him, Brandon was still recalling, he thought for a while, and then explained to the soldier: "Generally speaking, the level of the magic machine is the same as that of the owner, but the firefly is only middle and high-level silver, but you already have gold... …Wait, have you advanced to a high-level gold?!”

Just as he was talking, Brandon carefully observed the aura emanating from Joshua's body, and then took a sharp breath. Suddenly, he lost his previous calm demeanor, but lost his composure and said, "When you fought with me before, It's just a middle-level gold! No, I remember three months ago, when you were still in the Black Crow Legion, you were only a high-level silver!"

"Yes."

After poking the little face of the magic girl, Joshua confirmed that Yingying had fallen asleep and had almost no reaction to the outside world, so he replied casually: "The seven gods are above, it is probably the blessing of the gods, after I finish fighting with you Suddenly there is a little comprehension, and then advanced."

fart! This is no longer something that blessings can explain! Even the magic machine with a contract can't keep up with your improvement speed, you are the reincarnation of some god!

Hearing this reason, Brandon's expression twisted, and he had nothing to say. He suddenly felt a sense of urgency from the bottom of his heart—it took the monster in front of him three months to advance from silver to gold. Is it possible that next year he will be able to achieve Ultimate Intent, and the next year he will reach the rank of legend?

At this speed, it is not impossible!

You know, even His Majesty the Emperor only ascended to the Legendary Seat at the age of forty-seven, and how old will Joshua be the next year? Is it half the size of an emperor? Even if it takes a little more time, you can be a legend before you turn thirty! And if this so-called genius of himself doesn't work hard, won't he be completely left behind?

This is what the swordsman thinks too much.

Joshua's crazy level increase is based on the fact that there are enough monsters for him to kill. And as his level further increases, the required experience and monster level will also become higher and higher. If it weren't for the recent Kuroshio that happened to have a few gold monsters as gifts, plus the passive skill of the Chaos Watcher [burning] Evil Radiance] Increases the special effect of Chaos monsters' experience value by 30%, and the fighters are now just golden.

Holding Ying by the waist in the posture of a princess hug, Joshua felt that the girl in his arms was very light - at least lighter than her big sword form, and she was still small - also heavier than her big sword form Little, he was a little uncomfortable with this.

Whether it is the shape of a giant sword that is comparable to a door panel, or the burly body of a warrior, in comparison, Yingying's figure is too petite and slender.

"I usually use this little girl to fight and slaughter monsters? It's really child abuse."

After imagining it for a while, he couldn't help being amused by his own thought, and Joshua felt a little better. Although he was a little worried, it was a good thing for Firefly to upgrade anyway, he thought so.

"Let's go, go back to the main city first."

Joshua turned his head to signal, and greeted Brandon. Now he really can't do anything in the snow. It's better to go back and settle Hotaru as soon as possible. After all, soldiers don't know how to heal. Although his life occupation is a blacksmith, Thinking on my knees, I also know that the blacksmith's craftsmanship is definitely not good for an alchemy life like Yingying, so it's better to let her adjust herself.

"good."

After receiving a short reply from the blond swordsman, the two simply walked towards the main city not far away.

And the old mage above the city was still in shock.

"Extremely..."

Taking a deep look at the two people who were walking towards the main city, Nostradamus muttered to himself: "The fluctuation just now is indeed extremely intentional!"

Before, he noticed that Joshua didn't respond when he advanced to a high-level gold level. It was because of this [extreme intention] that the old mage's originally relaxed expression became solemn: "If strength can be explained by talent , but I really feel that this kind of realm that needs time to accumulate and accumulate, there is no shortcut, and it cannot be faked!"

But this is self-contradictory. How does a twenty-three-year-old young man have such a profound foundation and give birth to extreme intentions?

After hesitating in the sky for a while, the old mage decided not to visit the new earl of Moldavia for the time being, but to seal the gate of time and space first.

Then——he would spend all the rest of his time observing how this guy reached the realm of ultimate intent!

And in the snow field in front of the city wall.

Joshua stopped suddenly. He looked around and said with some doubts: "Just now I felt someone was watching... It was the same way during the previous battle."

And Brandon looked up at the sky, and said to himself: "Indeed, I also noticed it...but there is nothing around or in the sky."

The two of them didn't take this kind of trivial matter seriously, even if someone was peeping, it didn't matter. With the strength of the two of them, even if they were injured a little due to the battle between each other, it wasn't something ordinary gold-levels could deal with. .

After walking through the frost and frozen soil, the hills and the snowfield, the main city finally appeared before Joshua's eyes. The black city wall was like a giant lying between the wind and snow, covering half of his vision, while the soldiers guarding the city They also noticed the arrival of their lord early, they opened the city gate ahead of time, and went out to greet him.

Crossing the street all the way, Joshua didn't walk too fast because he was worried about the bumps. When he arrived at Beppu in the west of the city, it was already twenty minutes later.

"The lord's mansion was destroyed during my battle to regain the title. This is a temporary Beppu."

Entering the mansion, Joshua explained to Brandon who had a puzzled expression, and then turned his head and told the maids around him: "Take this distinguished guest to the bathroom and prepare a piece of clothing that fits him... ... get me one too."

"Yes, my lord."

After the blond swordsman was taken away, the soldier carried Yingying directly up the stairs to the bedroom on the second floor.

Since Joshua basically never sleeps, even if he is resting, he closes his eyes in the study for a few hours, and Yingying, as a magic machine, basically does not need to rest, so the bedrooms of the two are as if they are brand new, without any trace of people living there. . He casually lifted off the leather cushion covering the bed, and then stuffed the silver-haired girl in. In this way, Joshua settled Hotaru.

The psychic body of the Shenji humanoid is not stained with dust and has the function of self-cleaning, so the soldier is not worried about other problems. He covered the leather pad, and immediately only one head was left exposed, and the girl's face was reddish. , breathing steadily, as if he didn't know that he was stuffed into the bed like this.

"It's so strange, it feels like taking care of a daughter with a fever... I've never been married, and I've always been single."

Looking at Yingying's face, Joshua was stunned for a while, then let out a laugh, the soldier shook his head, he stood up, ready to take a shower and change his clothes.

Time always passes quickly.

Brandon left in the evening and went to the imperial capital, and more than a week later, the caravan from Moldova also arrived in the main city. The respectful merchant and the envoy of Verdani sent the skeleton of the black dragon, the dragon hunting spider Exoskeletons and many monster materials, they all expressed the greatest respect and admiration for Joshua, and some even tried to give up their family property and only become a servant knight under the soldiers, but Joshua simply rejected him .

The days of being a lord are very boring, especially in winter when there is heavy snow. In this season so cold that his breath freezes, Joshua can't farm, and he can't pull out his troops for training. He can only listen to the cold wind howling between the towers and city walls, and look at the black forest in the distance. Gradually returning to life, ice and snow piled up in the city, and then were swept away by the residents.

The biting cold wind gradually subsided, and the severe cold gradually warmed up. Time passed like breathing, and another month passed.

However, Firefly has not woken up yet.

Recently moved and started school, the update is less, and it will explode on weekends. I feel that the biggest shortcoming of this book is that it is not very exciting...

The day before yesterday, I ordered 100 for the four shifts, and it hasn't risen yet...
