Soul of Burning Steel

　　 The star fell in 831. On November 2nd of winter, the northern plains were full of heavy snow.

"Here." In the desolate wind, Joshua took off his hood and looked into the distance on horseback. He patted the head of the poor beast who was about to spit on his body, and then concealed himself in front of his eyes. The Great Aeas Mountains in the snow said with emotion: "Seventeen days."

　　 After hearing the death of Earl Winter Winter, he set off from the Northwest Plains. After seventeen days of traveling alone, Joshua finally crossed the sparsely populated northern territory of the empire and returned to his hometown.

　　 This vast wilderness covered with frost and snow.

　　 Turned over and got off the horse, Joshua let the horse that was about to collapse for a while, squatted down and grabbed a handful of ice and snow: "It looks like it's the first snow, and the snow layer is not too thick, so it doesn't affect the movement."

　　 "I'll go back soon." Slowly getting up, he took a deep breath.

　　 The breath of the harsh north wind poured into the lungs. It came from the remote Arctic ice sheet, passing through the blank sea of ​​broken ice, bringing the taste of winter, and the cold feeling calmed the restless heart slowly.

Belouo de Radcliffe, the father of this body, a tough, stubborn and stone-like middle-aged man, did not occupy much place in Joshua’s memory, compared to the majestic lord The adults who get along with him the most are the old housekeepers and family knights in the family. As for his mother, he died many years ago. The cause of death was an irreversible wind chill.

　　 Although he was an incompetent father, when he heard the news of his death, Joshua still felt immense anger in his heart, but then he calmed down.

　　 Revenge?

　　 No.

　　 This word is not needed in the man’s dictionary, and since the day when he knew about the change in the guardian place, this possibility has been lingering in Joshua’s mind. This time it was only the worst that happened.

　　Dying to fulfill his duty is the most glorious end of the warrior. For the stubborn stone-like man, perhaps such a death is a dream, right?

　　 But I still feel uncomfortable.

　　 Very upset.

　　 Joshua remembered that cloudy day, the fierce battle on Naya fortress and the mercury blade stabbed from behind, the most spiteful curse poured into his body, disintegrating his power from the root.

　　 This is an unforgivable betrayal.

　　 And immediately after the death of the old count, he jumped out, and the uncle who wanted to grab the title while Joshua was not waiting, was undoubtedly a betrayer, and both were equally disgusting.

As a traverser, Joshua has 10,000 ways to make himself stronger. For the once legendary warrior, the territory is not something that must be inherited. Compared to being a lord, an adventurer who travels alone may be more suitable for him. character.

　　 However, this is not a question of need or need, but a question of whether he is happy or not. He just wants to hack this cheap uncle to death.

"It's almost time to go." As the horse slapped its head, Joshua stuffed a large amount of wine-soaked fodder into its mouth, and this war horse chewed happily as a war horse with the blood of an earth dragon. He not only drank but also ate meat. Joshua didn't catch the game and came back to nourish him, and the horse did not disappoint him. He recovered very quickly. Otherwise, he would come back a little bit slower.

　　 Turning on the horse, Joshua is still a little dissatisfied: "At the 28th level silver pinnacle, my strength is still too weak. If I can advance to gold, I will be back in a few days."

　　The levels in the disputed continent are clear and simple, mortal 0~5, black iron 6~15, silver 16~30, gold 31~50, element 51~75, legend 76~105, gold is a dividing ridge.

Generally speaking, adult men generally have level five strength. If they are trained militiamen, they are probably black iron, elite soldiers and officers are basically silver-level, and the power limit that players in the first version can reach is the silver peak. With the version update, the upper limit is gradually unlocked. In the fourth era, powerful players can even become legendary bodies, which truly affect the progress of the game.

Now he only has the strength of the 28th silver pinnacle, which belongs to the category of humans. He has not jumped beyond the extraordinary limit. Under the limit of strength, the speed of normal running is slightly faster than that of horses. Even the slowest speed is claimed to be the rest time. The mobile tool is not as good as the dragon cart. At least the Earth Traveling Dragon can move around day and night, and will not detour because of certain terrain, but Joshua has to dismount and walk in some places, leading the horse to walk slowly.

"Time is running out." Recalling this, Joshua shook his head: "It is the end of the first edition, and it is still peaceful, but when the second edition begins, the great demon tide descends, and the gods of the evil camp are blasted down. In the world, the disputes that follow will fill the world, and wars and killings will never stop."

　　 This is only the second edition, let alone the third edition, or even the fourth edition of Chaos Demon. Before crossing, Qiao Xiu was fighting against them, it was the most terrifying race he had ever seen.

"Twenty-four years, there are still 24 years before the invasion of the Chaos Demon. This time seems to be very long, but it is actually very short." Joshua pondered the countermeasures: "In half a year, the demonic wave is approaching, and the whole world will usher in one. In the period of power explosion, you will completely enter the world of disputes. In this case, one person is not enough."

It is true. Although Joshua believes that he will be stronger this time than his previous life, no matter how strong a person is, he will feel invincible in the face of the tide of demon army. What he needs is a group of powerful comrades in arms. Share the pressure for him.

Whether it’s the formation of a battle group or the creation of a private army as before, Moldavia, his territory, is undoubtedly his initial capital. Whether it is a fallen **** or an invader in another world, Joshua will not allow it. The other party hinders one's own life and destroys the world in which one lives.

　　 The first step is to kill the cheap uncle first.

　　 Not far from the front, there are signs like a guard tower for a long time. If you follow the signs, you will see a masonry avenue, which leads directly to the main city of Moldavia.

　　 "Go!" After hearing the urge, the horse began to run quickly, even if there was a layer of ice and snow on the ground without any lag.

Snow clouds cover the sky, shadows cover the wasteland mountains, palm-sized snow flakes are scattered in the air, flying frantically, in the heavy snow that obscures the line of sight, several caravans are slowly walking on the avenue, some are heading, Some are leaving. These dragon cart merchants who drive the docile dragons are an important channel for the four leaders of the Northland to trade with the outside world. Before the airships became popular, this was the only way to transport materials on a large scale in harsh environments.

　　 "I finally saw someone."

　　 Seeing this scene, Qiao Xiuya couldn't help but sigh. The seventeen days of traveling alone was not because he didn't see other travelers, but since he entered the Northern Territory, he really has never seen other humans again.

In fact, except for adventurers and explorers, most humans will not leave the city too far. It is important to know that there are countless monsters inhabiting wastelands, forests, and caves. If you are not careful, you will be buried in the mouth of the animal, not to mention that there will be every year. Then one or two "Kuroshio" caused by the "Black Forest".

The Black Forest and the Kuroshio have always been the biggest problems of all races and forces on the Mykrov Continent. It is like an empire. The empire has a vast territory, occupying the entire northern part of the Mykrov Continent. Its northern territory directly falls into the sea, while the southern The frontier continued to the center of the mainland. If it hadn't been for the intrusion of the Kuroshio in the Black Forest in the center of the mainland, the empire's expansion speed would have already bordered the Far South Alliance.

　　 "Hey, the one in front is riding a horse alone."

　　 Suddenly, Joshua heard someone greet him.

　　 looked sideways, he noticed that a caravan was about to leave. A middle-aged man who looked a little tired got out of the car and said loudly, "Are you going to Moldavia?"

　　 "Yes." Joshua asked the horse to slow down and approach the convoy, and replied, "What's the matter?"

　　 "It's dangerous, don't go!" The middle-aged businessman's voice was a little hoarse.

　　 "Why?" Joshua asked curiously.

There was a scar on the middle-aged businessman's throat, which seemed to be a knife wound. He frowned and said, "Immediately on the day of flying snow, the dark tide is about to start. Most of the knights in the main city have gone to the fortress to strengthen their guards, but Half a month ago, I didn't know where a large group of knights hadn't seen came over and declared martial law."

"I'm not bragging. I am indeed an old businessman who has been running this line for more than ten years. Even the lord has seen it once. Those knights said that if they have never seen it, they have never seen it... Now the people in the city are panicking, I guess there must be something. If something big happens, leave as soon as possible."

He looked very serious: "I think it is not easy for you to walk alone, so I remind you that if there is nothing urgent, don't go. Now the atmosphere in the main city is very strange, and several famous wandering warriors have also been recruited by them. I started patrolling the streets, and all my old acquaintances have disappeared. I'm afraid there will be major changes in a few days."

　　 This person has good judgment, and he is also good.

　　 Joshua thought about it, and understood what was going on. More than half a month ago, it was the day when his father died. Most senior officials knew about the news, but it had not spread among the civilians. In addition, it is indeed the time when the Kuroshio Tide is about to start, and it is normal for the Guardian Knights to withdraw part of it, so the main city's defense is empty.

　　 The large group of knights must have been brought by their uncles at the right time to take up a good position and prepare for the title grab. Now the city must be all their people.

　　 But one thing is strange-although Joshua doesn't know his cheap uncle, but he also knows that he doesn't have much strength at all. A knight, or a large group of knights, how can he afford it? Relying on his identity as a businessman? Do not make jokes.

"thank you very much."

Sincerely nodded to the middle-aged man in the caravan, Joshua said with a smile: "Actually, if you want me to say, you don’t have to go in a hurry now. It’s not difficult to see Xuehen that the load of your dragon cart is very high, there are many The merchandise has not been sold, right? It must be a big loss to go back this time."

　　 The soldier looked very indifferent: "Wait for a few days, you will definitely get unexpected news and unexpected gains."

　　 "Go!" After finishing speaking, before the middle-aged man could react, Joshua galloped toward the main city with his horse.

　　 "Hey...the young people now." The middle-aged caravan couldn't help sighing, "I said that the place is dangerous now, so why don't you listen to people's advice... No!"

　　 He frowned suddenly, touching his chin trying to remember something: "This guy, looks so familiar...hiss, isn't it?!"

　　 After a while, the middle-aged man looked into the distance in shock: "Is it him?!"

　　 And Joshua is far away from the caravan now.

　　 "Black Forest Kuroshio, careful calculations, it is almost indeed this time, my father and uncle will seize the opportunity, one by one, one by one, it is a coincidence."

The so-called black forest is a forest that is blessed by magic and nature. They grow extremely fast, and their vitality is extremely tenacious. Even if only one tree stump is cut down, they will sprout branches and shoots and re-emerge seedlings within a few days, relying on the black forest. The number of living beasts and monster communities is also very amazing.

As for the Kuroshio, the Black Forest temporarily stopped growing for some reason. A large number of beasts and beasts plundered outside because they had no food. They attacked the cities and fortresses of human beings. They were not afraid of death, and they did not hesitate to break their bones. A single traveler crashed into it, and it would be difficult to run without the strength of the gold class.

A white-robed wizard once speculated that the Kuroshio is actually a means of expanding the Black Forest. The dead beasts carry plant seeds, and blood, bones and internal organs will become the nourishment of the land. After the Kuroshio is repelled, as long as There is no need to purify it with fire, and within a few years, a new black forest will appear in the same place, which in turn will give birth to a new generation of all kinds of monsters.

　　 If Joshua inherited the title of Earl of Winter, he would be obliged to lead knights and private armies to fight the dark tide, protect the people, and even break into the beasts, beheading the powerful beasts that threaten the fortress walls.

　　 "Now the knights in the city that originally belonged to me should have gone to the fortress on the edge of the Black Forest, and the ones left behind should not be the opponents of the group of people led by my uncle. They must have retreated long ago."

　　 Joshua pondered on horseback: "So, I should deal with a group of knights alone."

　　 While thinking, he laughed.

　　He, Joshua, never fears fighting.

Of course, Alien World and the game are completely different, even if the dispute continent claims that you can do it in the game, then if there is magic vindictiveness in reality, the reality that you can do in reality dives deep into the game, but Experience cannot be copied completely.

　　 But there is one thing, he is completely incomparable to this group of aliens, and he will not change too much because of crossing.

　　 That is the experience of fighting. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

A warrior, even if he lives on the battlefield in his lifetime, has no more than a hundred chances of fighting. If he can behead more than fifty, he can be called a warrior among the warriors. The same is true for adventurers. The real adventure requires planning. Months, counting the time on the way, a few years can be counted as a round trip, and only seven or eight big adventures in a lifetime will have to retire.

This is not the case for players. From the moment they start the game, they have to fight for reasons such as experience, tasks, equipment, etc. Every trace of their experience, every level is soaked in the blood of battle, every skill, Each equipment is chosen to practice for better combat.

Especially Qiao Xiuya. He was a martial arts museum master in his previous life. He played this kind of game because there were almost no martial arts in the Datong world. His purpose of entering the Continent of Strife was to experience a fight that could not be carried out in reality. And fighting, if other people occasionally travel and watch the scenery in the game, then he is a pure battle, challenging stronger and more difficult monsters.

　　 In the list of player achievements in the game, the highest is usually the platinum trophy, which is already a very difficult achievement.

　　 But Joshua has a diamond-level trophy that is unique in the world.

　　【Diamond Trophy-Inscribed Kills: 3197481】

　　 Three hundred and nineteen seventy-nine thousand four hundred and eighty-one.

　　 This is the number of enemies he has killed.

　　 "How many of my uncle's knights are there?" Flames burned in the eyes of the once legendary warrior: "How long will it make me happy?"

　　 No one answered these questions, Joshua laughed and drove the horse, galloping forward.
