Soul of Burning Steel

Cemetery Church, underground.

After walking through the long and deep passage, Joshua came to the empty hall at the end. The golden light of fluorite fully illuminated everything around him, and a huge statue of the hand with a hammer wrapped around a snake stood in the center of the hall, among which Contains a heart-pounding courage.

This is not the first time or the second time that Joshua has come here.

In fact, since returning from assisting Verdani, the soldiers would spare some time almost every week to come to the huge basement below the cemetery to maintain many divine machines that had no owners.

It's maintenance, but it's actually just to see if the magic circles that maintain a balanced environment are still functioning. Although Joshua has a blacksmith's life occupation level, he can also forge some of the most basic magic equipment, but the god machine The structure of the alchemy life is so complicated that it is impossible for someone who is not a legendary alchemist or blacksmith to take care of them in a real sense.

But today, Joshua's purpose of coming here is different from before.

He came here to wake up his second divine machine.

The soles of his boots collided with the stone floor, making a loud sound, and Joshua walked through the hall in silence.

Around the hall, there are four rooms. The equipment in these rooms is related to alchemy and forging, and they are extremely sophisticated. For example, in the first room on the left, the flange crystal forging table produced in the mountains in the west is the legendary top equipment that ordinary blacksmiths can use, and the element furnace core next to it can not only heat the materials for forging, but also provide Advanced alchemy equipment provides stable energy of various elements.

Without paying attention to these equipments that would drive ordinary alchemists crazy, Joshua walked quickly towards the front, where there was a deep and dark passage leading to the warrior's destination.

The Divine Machine Sealing Blade Room.

The passage was deep and long, and there was no light except the front, but at Joshua's speed, it didn't take long before his eyes suddenly opened up.

Standing at the door of the sealing room, looking up at the huge intact fluorite above his head, Joshua couldn't help but stop. The soldier seemed to be thinking about something, but after a while, he shook his head and stepped into it.

Walking into the sealing room, a rusty smell unique to steel rushed over. Joshua didn't take it seriously. He looked around the underground dark room under the church cemetery. Find your own target among hundreds of weapons.

It didn't take long before he found the giant ax that was half stuck in the ground.

Joshua walked towards the huge axe.

This is a pure black long-handled double-edged giant ax with two thick curved blades and a sharp spearhead. Its structure is plain and simple without any flashy decorations, and it is very heavy at first glance. The long metal handle and the ax blade are forged in one piece, and there are spots of rust on it, and the edge of the pure black arc blade has a hint of dark gold, like a flame burning pattern.

Walking in front of it, Joshua raised his left hand. He chuckled and said to himself, "It's different from last time."

There was no change in the divine machine contract. Unlike when he signed the contract with Ying three months ago, the magic contract engraved in the soldier's left hand has no trace of operation.

This is normal.

Through the inherited memory, Joshua knew that contracting a magic weapon was a huge burden for ordinary fighters. The energy circuits in their bodies are not strong enough to withstand the increased power brought by multiple divine machines, so in order to prevent these rare contractors from being overwhelmed by their own weapons, after they contracted the first divine machine, the divine machine created The programming that was set in the first place will stop the phenomenon of spontaneous contract resonance and terminate any ability to operate automatically.

If you really want to contract a second divine machine, then as the master, the contractor must take the initiative to stimulate it, expressing that he "needs them" and needs the help of the divine machines.

So, now, Joshua stretched out his left hand and held the long handle of the black axe.

"A miracle."

Said calmly, the warrior's red pupils stared at the giant ax in his hand, and his voice echoed throughout the blade chamber: "Answer my call."

"I, Joshua Van Radcliffe, the head of the Radcliffe family, your contractor, now need your help and need you to turn into my strength."

With every word he said, Joshua could feel that the back of his left hand gradually became hotter, and the temperature became higher and higher until it was like a flame burning. And a tattoo of a long-handled giant ax entwined with a snake quickly appeared on the back of his hand.

"call--"

There was a tremor, and then there was a gust of wind blowing from nowhere.

In this sudden wind of magic power, those other weapons planted on the ground were vibrating violently. Whether it was a hammer, a spear, a sword or a flail, they were all vibrating spontaneously, making a clear clanging sound, and Among these voices, Joshua seemed to be able to hear many vague voices.

"The second..."

"Unexpectedly, someone wants to contract a second magic machine..."

"Stop it! This is too dangerous. If you are not careful, you will die immediately!"

"Come on! Young man, you can do it!"

"Don't continue, give up, for the sake of your life."

Among these vague voices, there were surprises, dissuasion, encouragement and doubts, but Joshua didn't care about these. He just silently felt the scorching heat of the magic contract on the back of his hand and the pulsating power in his body, and then put the Little by little, the giant ax was pulled out from the ground.

"Clang!"

There was a crisp sound when the iron and stone rubbed against each other, and golden light emerged from the void. When the warrior pulled out the giant ax from the solid rock and showed its complete blade, the magic power in the atmosphere began to boil, and Qiao Xiu Without any hesitation, he poured his fighting spirit into the weapon in his hand, cleansing its interior, and stamped his own brand.

Fiery power burned and flowed between the muscles and blood vessels. While Joshua and Shenji exchanged power, the rusty spots on the giant ax gradually fell off, and the golden lines shone. The black giant ax was revealed under the fighting spirit of the warrior There was an extraordinary momentum. Awe-inspiring rays of light flickered, and an extremely heavy breath came. It overbearingly absorbed all the magic power around it into its body, and turned the originally pitch-black ax body into a black and gold intertwined complex pattern, as if symbolizing Death and victory in general.

Then, under Joshua's gaze, the magic power burst into light, and the huge force distorted the boundaries of matter. A slender figure was shaped out of the strong light that made it impossible to see, and it was originally held tightly in the warrior's hand The handle of his great ax also turned into a slender hand, with the same tattoo of the serpent giant ax on his wrist.

"Master, meeting for the first time."

The light gradually dissipated, and a clear youthful voice came from in front of Joshua, and a slender figure appeared in front of him.

This young man has shoulder-length black hair, curled up a little due to lack of combing, and at the same time looks a bit feminine, and his eyes are golden like the sun. Compared with Joshua's tall body, the young man looks very attractive. His physique was so petite that he could only look up at the warrior.

At this time, the young man wearing a black shirt with a gold border had a friendly smile on his face. He took his hand out of Joshua's palm, and then gave a deacon salute: "Rin Akrol Broken Dragon Axe , in response to your demands and expectations, following the bloodline of the Radcliffe family and the ancient contract, and hereby offer my loyalty to you."

He lowered his head, closed his eyes, and then praised the warrior in an elegant tone: "I am amazed by your strength, master, you are the first being who can successfully sign contracts with multiple gods since the establishment of the family. It is an immense honor.”

"Rin...a good name"

Feeling the sudden increase in the body, but still within the pressure range, a faint smile appeared on Joshua's face. He looked at the young man in front of him, stretched out his left hand, and said seriously: "It is also a blessing for me to be able to make a contract with you."

Hearing the soldier's words and seeing the other's outstretched left hand, Rin blinked, and immediately understood what he was going to do next. He chuckled lightly, then stepped forward obediently, and put his forehead on the soldier's palm middle.

Sensing the wonderful feeling rising from the wrist of his left hand, Joshua nodded slightly, and then solemnly said in unison with the young man in front of him: "Declaration, the contract is established!"

The voices of the two became ethereal under the power of the blood and the contract: "Abiding by the ancient contract, my life is placed in your hands, and your glory is preserved by my blade. Keep this oath with the blood, and never break it! "

At this point, the vague cries of the surrounding gods have also stopped, and the voices of doubt and dissuasion are no longer there. Now, they resonate with the warrior's contract, vibrate, and emit a metal-to-metal vibration, It seems to be humming, singing and praising this scene.

This scene has never appeared in the sealing room.

The contract, the second divine machine contract, was successful in this way.

After the contract was concluded, Rin's expression changed slightly. He felt that there was a powerful force coming from his master. It was huge enough to make ordinary people break through their own limits, but the black-haired and golden-eyed boy was just After saying 'hmm', his complexion returned to normal.

Seeing this scene, Joshua couldn't help asking curiously, "Do you feel any discomfort?"

Rin smiled modestly. He seemed a little uncomfortable, but generally speaking, he was fine. The young man said, "Master's power feedback is indeed very large, but my body has been specially strengthened. This level of power can probably be accommodated."

At this time, the attribute version of the system also popped up at the same time.

[Humility, tolerance towards others, although young, maybe a qualified housekeeper? 】

This is not at the same level as Ying's initial attributes.

After reading the attribute panel, Joshua couldn't help but have such a thought in his mind. He looked at the young man standing quietly in front of him, feeling a little emotional.

Although Ying's attributes are not weaker than Rin's now, this is the result of fighting with him for so long, and Rin's initial attributes alone are so strong, which feels very abnormal.

When in doubt, ask directly.

After listening to the soldier's question, Rin was stunned for a while, scratched his cheek with his fingers, and then replied while thinking:

"The initial attribute of the Divine Machine is generally determined by your master's strength and resonance. My strength is stronger than my sister. There are many reasons, but this is the most important." The young man naturally knew his sister's situation, he said slowly : "Because I had a high degree of resonance with you, Master, I was instilled with a lot of inheritance memories by the old Patriarch, and I was also specially strengthened... In fact, most of the magic machines are like this. Just put it in the sealing room, only the magic machine with the highest synchronization rate will get the opportunity to strengthen and contract."

When he said this, Rin's face also looked a little strange: "Actually, I felt a little strange when you signed the contract with my sister. It's obviously because I have a higher degree of sympathy. Why did you choose her...Of course , this is the master's choice, and I don't doubt it, it just feels different from the usual practice, it's just a little strange..."

Knowing the reason roughly, Joshua couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

All of this was created by time travel. The original Joshua indeed had a high resonance with Rin, so as the appointed next-generation contract magic machine, the boy in front of him also received many special enhancements, but the warrior crossed over halfway, and somehow something went wrong Made a contract with Ying, who had never been strengthened.

Rin has a complete memory bank, while Ying's database has not even updated a lot of common sense. From this alone, it can be seen that what the boy said is true.

Thinking of this, Joshua couldn't help but shook his head: "It turns out that it was you who signed the contract with me... I kept you waiting."

It seems that my time travel has really affected a lot of things. If it wasn't for Yingying's accident, maybe this god will stay underground for a long time

"It's not a big deal."

Rin shook his head, his golden pupils were very calm: "Weapons exist to meet the needs of the master, you need me, and I sensed it, so I signed a contract with you - it has nothing to do with the time, it's just Depending on your wishes and needs."

"He is really a good and understanding boy." The soldier turned around with a smile, and walked slowly towards the door of the sealing room.

"Because I am your weapon."

The boy shrugged, then quickly followed Joshua's pace and walked out of the sealing room behind him.
