Soul of Burning Steel

Standing at the end of the corridor, at the entrance of the dwarven underground city, Joshua looked into the distance and nodded.

Compared with the scattered residential areas around the lava lake on the surface, this city built in the large underground cavity is more like a place where dwarves live. In this huge underground cavity that is not known to be formed naturally or excavated artificially, there are countless buildings made of rock. In the extremely bright underground city illuminated by pyroxene lamps, there are densely populated residential areas and meeting places. The core streets There is a magnificent temple and a majestic city hall. Of course, there is also the [Core Forging Furnace] located in the center of the city, which is extremely tall and made of black steel. It reaches the dome and descends to the earth.

Before he could continue to observe and conduct a more detailed analysis, he saw a group of dwarves coming out of the city streets not far away. They held up banners and greeted the soldiers and others.

And Joshua immediately saw the figure standing in the middle of the crowd.

This is an old dwarf with a steel ring on his head and white hair and beard. His face and body are covered with wrinkles, but he can't hide his strength. Muscles stronger than steel have turned into a fortress, forming the sturdy body of this old dwarf. Body, his eyes shone with a golden light like molten iron, and his whole body exuded an aura like a majestic mountain.

Very strong!

At the moment when they looked at each other, Joshua clenched his fists, and his whole body was ready to fight. In his eyes, everyone around him was ignored, and only this powerful opponent in front of him deserved his attention.

Joshua could feel that the old dwarf in front of him, who was at least a hundred years old, was a powerhouse second only to the God of Desire and Nostradamus after he traveled through time. Although the old mage was a mage Powerful, but he is just a kind old man when he is not casting spells, and the powerful aura radiating from the old dwarf in front of him shows that he is undoubtedly a powerful warrior. If he holds a hammer in his hand , in addition to forging legendary weapons, it can also beat the flesh and bones of the enemy into a thin piece of paper.

"At least it's the peak of gold, and maybe even touched the boundary of [Extreme Intention]."

With such a thought flashing through his mind, Joshua smiled and walked towards the front of the opponent's team.

And that old dwarf, Iron Body Moria, the leader of the rune dwarves in the contemporary Northland and the highest forge, also observed the warrior who was slowly walking towards him in front of him, his golden and red eyes met, This old dwarf known for his toughness and wisdom couldn't help but stroked his beard, and said in surprise: "Golden high-level? What an amazing talent."

He has lived for such a long time, and now he is only a high-ranking gold man. Although he has encountered a boundary of extreme intention, when it comes to pure power, he is not fundamentally different from the young human in front of him.

While being surprised, Moria couldn't help but nodded in relief, showing a smile, and a figure with the same black hair and red eyes appeared in the old dwarf's mind.

Old friend, your descendants seem to have surpassed you unknowingly... The power of human beings is indeed superior.

He created Joshua's strength as the power of order inherited from the guardian of chaos.

Mo Ruiyuan turned his attention away from Joshua, but before he had time to observe the other knights, he was shocked again by seeing Rin on horseback.

"Mysterious machine... wait, this breath is different from the one I noticed a few months ago—could it be the second divine machine?!"

As the forger of the divine machine weapon form, Moria can sense the process of signing the first divine machine contract, but the second time... since no one has successfully contracted the second divine machine for so many years, so The reminder magic did not design this function, until now, the old dwarf knew that Joshua had successfully contracted two magic machines.

"Wait, so, don't I have to forge a suit of armor?"

Before lamenting the incomparable strength and talent of Joshua, such a thought suddenly flew into Moria's mind: "According to the contract, a magical machine, a set of armor..."

At the same time, Joshua strode towards the old dwarf without waiting for the other party to want to play, and the dwarves he met on the way couldn't help but get out of the way, allowing the warrior to pass by unimpeded. They could feel that the human body in front of them contained powerful power, and there was an aura that made them feel fear, which made the group of dwarves dare not stop Joshua,

Moria naturally noticed this, so he shook his head, and then simply stepped forward to welcome the soldiers.

And Joshua also walked in front of the old dwarf, he stretched out his hand naturally, and Moria also held it naturally, and the two huge physical forces erupted at the same time, the translucent shock wave rippled with the two intersecting double The palm came out quickly.

After personally experiencing the opponent's strength, Joshua let go of his hand, and the soldier grinned and said, "Joshua van Radcliffe, the lord of Moldavia, has known his name for a long time, Mo Master Rhea,"

"I am Iron Moria, the contemporary leader of the rune dwarves, just a blacksmith."

As if he was still feeling the power that came from his hand before, the old dwarf's face was a little dignified, but then he shook his head and said with the same smile: "Don't be modest, Joshua, your reputation has already spread all over the Northland. Spread the word, even the imperial capital has many admirers, and I believe that soon, the entire empire, and even the whole world will know that there is a powerful warrior who breaks through the tide of chaos alone and closes the gate of time and space in the middle age of the Northland."

While the two sides were talking to each other, Moria noticed Claire who had been standing by. The forest elf druid wore a hooded robe as usual, covering his face and long green hair, but the old dwarf's sharp eyes, honed for many years, were attracted by Joshua and Rin before. At this moment, when he realized that something was wrong, he immediately frowned and said in surprise: "You... Claire Windsong, you are still alive?!"

"Tieju, you are alive, why can't I?"

Gently taking off the hood, the green-haired elf took a step forward, and then replied calmly, but his tone was obviously thorny.

... Sure enough, there is a problem.

No need to guess, Joshua fully knew that there must be some problems left over from the past between these two people, and it might be related to his ancestors, which can be seen from the letter Moria sent to the soldiers before.

If you think about it carefully, you can also know that a high-level golden balance druid, or a forest elf who loves the jungle, would come to the Northland immediately? The icy and snowy land here is the environment they don't like the most. Even if it is for the purpose of purifying the earth, Joshua doesn't believe that Enoch's strength and connections can't find a better candidate.

Now it seems that whether Clare came to his own territory or followed him to the dwarf living area, there is a deeper reason.

No matter what, the atmosphere became dull in an instant, and it could even be called dead silence. The knights on Joshua's side would not talk too much on such occasions, and the dwarves beside Moria couldn't understand it anyway. The atmosphere, at least he can understand that his leader is in a bad mood now, and he won't talk too much without authorization.

But Moria has lived for so many years after all, he can't really let the scene go on like this, accompanied by a heavy cough, the old dwarf immediately interrupted the conversation with Claire abruptly, he turned his head to look at the soldier .

"Welcome to the underground Black Steel City, Lord, if you don't mind, would you like to have lunch with us?"

Joshua naturally would not object to this proposal, he nodded and said, "No problem."

I didn't update the second chapter yesterday, it's my fault, I admit it

But to be reasonable, I am not full-time on cloudy days. I have recently started school and moved, and I have a lot of things to do. It is very difficult to maintain a daily update of 3000~4000 words this week. I just wrote a few words yesterday and fell asleep on my stomach. , It is really impossible to write the second chapter, and I still overestimate my willpower.

Some friends told me not to write big chapters every time, and occasionally split it into 2 chapters. The same number of words, at least the update looks good. I think what he said is quite reasonable, it seems to be the case...
