Soul of Burning Steel

The news brought by the 3rd did not change much in a short period of time. The lives of everyone in the Lord's Mansion were as usual, and there was not much change.

Hotaru and Hei worked together to rectify part of the affairs in the lord’s mansion. They occasionally took Brandon and Verdani’s two daughters to walk around in the main city to play around. Most of the residents of Moldavia have been familiar with each other for a long time. The young master maid of the Lord's Mansion, so no one disturbs them on weekdays.

Rin travels between Winterhold and the Lord’s Mansion, and handles most of the government affairs for Joshua. Teenagers with a slight workaholic tendency always work overtime until late at night. Their diligent performance makes No. 3 unable to help but admire it. Qiao Xiu doubted whether he was squeezing the young man's labor force too much.

Atanis also visited the Lord’s Mansion several times. After learning about the soldiers’ passing on the Holy Mountain, the old bishop expressed his gratitude to Joshua again and again. At this time, the soldiers knew that Atanis had a few things. The students and acquaintances are now on the western defensive line of the Holy Mountain. After hearing the news that his friend is safe, the old man's sad expression disappeared.

Qiao Xiuya himself, as usual, is communicating with the world all the time. By resonating with the free energy in the atmosphere, he strengthens his strength little by little.

Recently, this period of time has gradually entered into late autumn. Winter in the Northland is approaching. Both farmers and hunters, explorers and adventurers have come to the busiest time. They are busy harvesting crops and hunting fat beasts, taking advantage of the winter and the blizzard. When I came here, I explored the mysterious Great Aas Mountains for the last time and was paid by the Lord’s Mansion. It is rare for the whole Moldavia to get into a busy schedule. Everyone has their own work.

At this time, the soldier was standing in the center of a wasteland at least tens of kilometers away from the main city. His eyes were tightly closed, the air surging in his mouth and nose, his chest and abdomen were rhythmically undulating, breathing, and hundreds of degrees of high temperature. The body is the center, and it radiates in all directions like an oven, turning the wasteland within a few hundred meters into sand and scorched earth.

‘Breath of Scorched Prison’

Since the last time he played against the red dragon Evian, and realized a little bit of ‘the extreme meaning of flame’, that is, the essence of the shining sun, from the self-detonation of the Phistar, the fighter has been trying to master this power.

Today's Joshua, the basic quality of the body, the will and the spirit of fighting are very solid, in the extreme will belong to the real powerhouse, but his expertise and talents have not kept up, similar to the permanent gain state of the steel armor breathing method. There is no practice either.

After all, it has only been two years since he has traveled to the present, and he still ventured around and traveled to other worlds in the middle. Although this made the warrior's level rise rapidly, he failed to keep up with other aspects. This time he was in the blood moon abyss. The battle against Mandagar and at the Sacred Mountain and Evian revealed this shortcoming-except for throwing Hotaru and Rin out, he has no reliable means of long-range attacks.

And the special ability of blazing sun's shining power is extremely terrifying, undoubtedly very suitable for Joshua. For this reason, the warrior deliberately spent time and created a new power control technique to control the power of the flame and the sun, which is the breath of the scorched prison.

The breath of scorching prison is a special energy internal circulation system. Its performance is to improve the practitioner's resistance to single spell damage and master the corresponding supernatural ability. From the current actual effect, this unique breathing method The displayed resistance itself is incidental to the supernatural ability acquired by the practitioner after completing the study. And this ability is even more powerful for people like Qiao Xiu who have combined elements such as high temperature and raging fire, and even the time required for practice is greatly reduced.

The perfection of the breath of the scorched prison is now nearing completion. As long as the warriors are fully energized, they can generate high temperatures that exceed the surface of the sun. They can easily vaporize steel and break most of the world’s defenses, and fight with this power. At the end, it will undoubtedly be much easier to control the blazing sun flashes.

The enthusiasm in the atmosphere gradually dissipated, the twisted air returned to calm, and Joshua stopped practicing vindictiveness. The sun is sinking, and today's daily exercise is over. He wants to return to the Lord's Mansion to handle some government affairs.

The Extremely Yi-level powerhouse's flight speed is far faster than that of gold. Before long, Joshua, who had not used all his strength, had returned from the wasteland to the sky above the main city of Moldavia. He stood high in the sky, looking down at his territory, watching The bustling flow of people in the city, as well as the people who are gradually returning outside the city.

The harvest festival is coming soon. Joshua thought so, this is a large-scale celebration held every fall, as the lord, he needs to preside over the whole process. It's not just the Northland, all parts of the country, even the emperor's majesty will host similar ceremonies.

"In that case." The soldier whispered to himself: "It's almost time..."

At this moment, Joshua suddenly felt something, and turned his head to look into the distance. He saw a white horse at the end of the horizon line along the avenue, galloping towards the main city of Moldavia.

The horse’s bloodline is excellent, obviously mixed with dragons and beasts. After a very obvious long run, its physical strength can still make it make a long hissing sound, allowing slower passers-by and carriages to avoid quickly. And on horseback, is a very tired red-haired young man. He has gone through the bumps of a long journey, and now it seems that he is about to die.

Little by little, Joshua's eyes flashed as he watched the white horse approaching the main city from a distance.

He slowly landed at the gate of the city, waiting for the arrival of the opponent.

A person fell from the sky, causing chaos and noisy noises, but after a few seconds, the scene fell silent.

The vast majority of the citizens have seen him as a young lord in festivals and ceremonies, and even a small number of people’s children are studying at Winterhold Academy. Seeing Joshua coming, the gates of Moldavia’s main city were suddenly silent. Carts and horses dared not move on, and the pedestrians stopped restlessly until Joshua turned his head and signaled that those crowded at the gates hurry in. The world breaks away from stillness in the city.

As they walked, they stared at their lord with awe, until they left the city gate.

As time passed, the crowd at the gate of the city had gradually decreased, the sun disappeared completely, and the night fell. Joshua stood at the gate of the city, and he waited for the galloping white horse.

At the end of the road, the red-haired young man on horseback naturally saw Joshua. He hurriedly tightened the reins and stopped the mount under him. Then the young man immediately dismounted and rushed towards the warrior.

The red-haired young man has a sickly pale skin. It is obviously the result of staying in the house for many years without seeing the consequences of the sun. His hands are covered with blood blisters caused by driving a horse, and he knows at a glance that he rarely goes out and uses his mounts.

As soon as he came to the soldier, tears filled his eyes. The red-haired young man seemed to want to speak, but he couldn't say anything. He didn't have time to think about why Joshua happened to be at the gate of the city, so he straightened. Kneeling down, his body cast to the ground, expressing endless respect and awe.

"Ademan Carlos."

After waiting for a long time, seeing that the other party didn't say anything, after just kneeling like this, Joshua said: "Alfonso's eldest son, why are you returning to Moldavia?"

After hearing the soldier's question, the red-haired young man, that is, Ademan Carlos, trembled violently. He lifted his head slightly and did not dare to look directly at Joshua's eyes, and said with a trembling, "Master Earl... ...I...my father..."

Joshua looked down at the young man who dared not look directly at him, and narrowed his eyes. He recalled the first time he saw this young man two years ago-when he was still a teenager. Alfonso introduced his eldest son to the soldier and revealed that he was willing to take him as a hostage under the lord's mansion, but Joshua saw the loyalty of the opponent and felt that there was no need to be so troublesome, so he simply refused.

But now, too much has changed. The soldier said: "Alfonso Carlos, that is, your father is dead, I know that."

Perhaps because of Joshua’s slightly cold words, Adelman’s expression was a little stiff, but after he hesitated for a while, he immediately replied in pain: "Earl, my father is dead, uncle, Dalek. Uncle and they are all dead too!"

His words caused a commotion among the pedestrians in the past. Many people looked at each other, not knowing what was going on, but no one dared to stop and continue to listen to the incident.

Joshua didn't care about this look, he said: "Be more specific, what happened."

"One night two weeks ago, my father was calculating the bill." Now that happened, Adelman also calmed down. He swallowed dryly, and then quickly said: "But when I brought the hot drink to the study, I found out Father, he is dead-without any signs, he just stopped breathing. I said hello to him a few minutes ago!"

Speaking of this, Adelman’s expression showed extreme pain, and tears came from his eyes: “Every few days, someone in the family will die like this, first Uncle Sindar and then Uncle Dalek. I don’t know who is on my way. No one has left during this time..."

"enough."

Joshua shook his head disappointedly, his voice indifferent: "Other than that, is there anything else I want to explain?"

Ademan was forced by his aura, and he couldn't say anything for a while, but looking like this, the soldier knew that the other party did not want to explain other things.

Joshua looked up at the black night sky. Biyue was slowly rising. He was silent for a while, and then said: "Alfonso's death, I have known about it a few days ago. I originally planned to go to the imperial capital at that time. Find the murderer and avenge him, but number 3 reminded me of one thing."

Looking down at the red-haired young man who was trembling violently, Joshua said softly: "Although I don't know why, you are the one who falsified the financial report, Ademan. Although you are clever in imitating your father's handwriting, it is good for me and 3 It’s too clumsy in terms of numbers."

"Your concealment delayed the report of your father's death for two weeks." The soldier's tone was calm: "Explain it."

After hearing Joshua’s words, the red-haired young man immediately raised his head in horror. He seemed to want to explain, but he was speechless under the soldier’s cold eyes. In the end, Adelman could only lower his head little by little. , And then tell the truth.

The financial report received on the 3rd at the beginning was indeed forged by Adelman and Alfonso’s deputies in order to conceal the information.

They thought that Alfonso died suddenly because of the hard work and the hidden injuries suffered by the running business in the early years. No one thought that this was a planned murder. Fearing that the lord’s mansion would send someone to take over the property of the imperial capital in place of the Carlos family, Adelman, Sindar and Dalique decided to temporarily falsify the report on the flow of funds, and prepared to effectively grasp the rights that Alfonso had acquired due to the death of Alfonso. Go and tell Alfonso's death.

For the sake of power and money, even ordinary people will muster great courage until the second and third person who died suddenly appears.

The deaths of Sindar and Dalik, and even the other attendants in the room, made Adelman frightened. He instantly understood that this was a temptation against the Radcliffe family and against Joshua. Red The act of concealing and not reporting by the young people was considered by the opponent to be Joshua’s weakness, so that these unknown people became more and more rampant.

Adelman, who was frightened and weakened, took his seldom-used mount and fled all the way towards a small city outside the imperial capital. He immediately teleported back to the border of the North, and then ran towards the main city of Moldavia. The young man originally wanted to conceal his drama of fighting for power and not report it, but he didn't expect to be seen through at a glance.

"It's really ugly."

Shaking his head, Joshua closed his eyes. He didn't want to see the other person's embarrassing appearance. The soldier said calmly: "You have stayed in the imperial capital longer than I have. You must know the situation better... Ademan, you Think who assassinated your father and his deputy?"

He didn't pursue the other party's concealment, because there was no need for this, and Joshua only wanted to know one thing now, and that was who the enemy was.

"...Feltao's family, which runs the'Imperial Iron Fist' series of chain weapons stores, owns the Suward's family, the largest ore producer in the Northwest.

After realizing that Joshua did not bother to punish his concealment~www.novelmtl.com~ Adelman thought for a while, and then reported the names of the two companies. Later, he thought about it again and said it. The third family name: "Perhaps Torres is also possible... Their property is a magic scroll and has nothing to do with us, but it is rumored that the old earl once injured their contemporary family when he was young... These are just guess."

After saying this, the red-haired young man immediately added a suffix with some horror. He didn't know if these families did it, but they were the ones who competed most with the Radcliffe family recently. The same is true for suspicion.

"well."

Nodding slightly, Joshua stopped paying attention to the young man who was kneeling on the ground and his body was still trembling. He flew back to the sky again, and only an indifferent voice came: "The guilt you committed cannot be forgiven, but it is not now. .""

"Repent, before the revenge is over."
