Soul of Burning Steel

Chapter 6: Land of the Northland Mountains

   Ding Dong, Ding Dong—

   The bell rang.

   The Count of Moldavia, the main city, and the cathedral rang the alarm clock, and the melodious percussion echoed nine times, telling everyone that the night had come.

   With the sound of the bell, the lights of every household began to go out.

Because of the martial law that began half a month ago, even the commercial district and Liuying Street, which never turned off the lights at midnight, were turned into darkness. Except for a little fire in the hands of the patrols walking back and forth on the street, the entire city There are only a few places that are lit

   And the brightest among them is the Lord’s Mansion.

  Beside this building that is similar to a castle, towering in the center of the city, there is a large wall that blocks the sight of others.

   "He's not dead?!"

   A roar came from it.

In the not-so-wide hall with an ancient atmosphere, a man who was so strong that he looked a little fat sat on a large chair, raised his brows, and said loudly to the guard who was kneeling on one knee in front of him: "How is that possible! Didn’t the news from the sky say that he rushed into the orc enemy line alone and could not survive!”

   "My lord, according to the information from the spy, that person not only did not die, he also made great contributions and was given the Blade of Glory. Although he was suspended and sent off for violating military regulations, this is the worst news for us."

   The masked guard can't see the expression, but can also guess that the face is very ugly.

   "...Hmph, even if you are alive, it's just a silver warrior, and it's useless to come back."

Shaking his head, Danlia Radcliffe, the tall, strong middle-aged man sneered, his expression looked a bit hideous under the candlelight: "The knights loyal to his father are all in the Black Forest Fortress. This group of knights is the enemy that needs the most attention, but they will not be able to return before the end of the Kuroshio, and after the Kuroshio I have long since succeeded the title and become the new generation of Winter Earl!"

   Although he said so, his brows were still frowning, and his expression was very annoyed: "But he is still alive after all. To those knights, he is the backbone..."

"Mr. Danlia, it seems that you are in trouble." Suddenly, a low male voice sounded in the strong middle-aged heart. At the same time, on the other side of the hall, a figure walked out of the shadow and one was wrapped The soldier in the armor appeared silently.

It stands to reason that the sound of footsteps or friction in the metal full body armor will be obvious, but this man obviously violated common sense, and there was no sound in every move. At this moment, another mental induction came: " If there is anything inconvenient to solve, you can tell me."

   "Silent Swordsman... what are you doing here."

   Seeing this armor, Danlia sat upright, frowning and replied: "You should be patrolling now, why are you here?"

   "I hired you powerful wandering warriors, not to let you wander around!" He said, his voice brought a hint of chill.

The helmet of the Silent Swordsman trembled, and after making a helpless posture with his hands, he said in a spirited manner: "In nominal terms, I was hired by you. In fact, if it is not supported by'them', you can't hire the mark. Mine, everyone else is the same."

"And I'm not here to argue this with you, sir, there is a very important piece of news, I think you need to know." At this point, the Silent Swordsman became serious: "You know, I don't need to lie to you. "

   Danlia heard that this was not a joke, he immediately stood up, his expression solemn: "What news?"

   Although there is no way to see the expression of the silent swordsman, it must be a big deal.

   "The adult among'them' has already left."

   "When will it arrive?"

   "Tomorrow."

   Upon receiving such news, Danlia's face became very ugly in an instant: "I haven't mastered this city yet, if that adult comes here now..."

   "You told me it's useless." The silent samurai interrupted with a heart-to-heart call: "You better prepare to meet."

   The cold wind blew across the roof, making a whining sound, and the city lord's mansion became quiet, only Danlia and the silent warrior were silently facing each other.

   At this moment, a breathless voice broke the embarrassing scene.

   "My lord...g...Master Chris is gone!"

"what?!"

   Outside the city, in a small forest.

   Standing in front of the burning bonfire, Joshua’s face was illuminated by the crimson fire, and occasionally one or two sparks popped out, tracing a trajectory in front of his eyes.

   Now it is a cold, stormy, snowy, frosty night, and there is still nearly ten kilometers away from the main city.

   While touching the head of the horse who was chewing the feed, Joshua added firewood to the fire: "Thank you too."

It gets dark quickly in the north in winter. Instead of risking exhaustion and rushing through the night, it’s better to rest for a while and then do other considerations. In order to maintain physical strength, Joshua found a small forest as before and took the luggage from the horse. After unloading, preparing for a while, we started to eat dinner.

   Breaking apart the dried food and dried meat, he thought about his actions afterwards: "The city gate will be closed after ten o'clock in the evening. It is too late in the past. Take a rest today and recharge your energy. There will be a battle tomorrow."

   Now the entire main city is probably occupied by the men and horses brought by his uncle. Joshua estimated that he would be discovered as soon as he entered the city, and fighting would be inevitable at that time.

   The gust of wind blows down the snow from the leaves.

   "The snow is bigger," he said softly, adding another stick of firewood.

Moldavia is one of the four major human gathering circles of the Great Aes Volcano in the Northland. It is adjacent to the Aes Mountains and the Black Forest. Although half of the year is cold winter, it is caused by volcanic ash and geothermal heat. The reason is that the hilly plains and forests near the mountains are very suitable for living creatures, so this place has always been a paradise for monsters before the arrival of humans.

   However, after the arrival of mankind, the black forest here was dug down by generations of colonists and completely transformed into a city suitable for human living.

   During this period, no one knows how much human beings paid, but the original semicircular black forest was inserted by a triangular blank and divided into two halves. In the newly built city, there are also many tombstones in the cemetery.

The lord of Moldavia is the Radcliffe family, which is also the family of Joshua. They have been with the dwarves for generations, and they have developed the precious minerals in the volcanic mountains. Because of this, it is easy to manufacture and process fine ores and weapons. Became the main business of the Radcliffe family.

   However, due to the climate in the Northland, the normal trading days are only half a year, and the winter time can only rely on the dragon cart merchants.

   With the boiled snow water, Joshua tore off a piece of dried meat, took another bite of dry food, carefully feeling the taste like sawdust and mud, and felt that his happiness had been reduced by at least fifty points.

   "If it weren't for the poisonous northern pine, I would gnaw the bark, at least it would be fresh."

He knows a lot of things, from the blue bear beast that even novices can pass without brains in the forest of the beginning, to the dragon of the falling sky with 24 senior adventurers on the permafrost polar circle, which may not be able to pass the level. Even with terrifying existences such as the giant soldiers of the sacrificial ground of the Ten Thousand Worlds and the Azure Frost Titan on the wind-eclipsed zenith, Joshua knew how to use the simplest method to fight against them. There is no BOSS on the Continent that he has never fought. .

   In terms of combat, Joshua is a well-deserved master, no one dared to say that he knew more than him—but other than that, he knew nothing.

As the general boss and the strongest fighter of the strongest battle group in the Far South, he only needs to rush up and kill the most difficult enemies when needed. As for other things, such as diplomacy, planning strategic goals, developing team members and dealing with others Qiao Xiuya never paid attention to things like the team's miscellaneous soldiers, let alone cooking and other life skills.

To be reasonable, in this life, Qiao Xiu is the son of the earl, a middle-level officer, the kind of person who does not need to cook, but in reality, in the previous life, when he was Qiao Xiu, he was a martial arts museum in the world of great harmony. Lord, although for various reasons, there is nothing that the apprentice can only stay alone in the gym to get moldy, but with robots, he will not be able to cook by himself no matter what.

   In short, this is the reason why he does not know how to cook!

   "Da la, da la, da la."

   There was the sound of horseshoes suddenly on the avenue,

   Swallowing the jerky in his mouth, Joshua, who had experienced the sensation of swallowing sawdust once, looked back and found that a man was rushing forward, braving the heavy snow and heading towards the main city.

   "It's really anxious to hurry in the middle of the night for such a heavy snowfall."

After dinner, I packed everything up, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Qiaoshua felt that his physical strength was recovering quickly, he moved his hands and feet to make sure that the campfire had enough fuel, and then he leaned against the big tree and closed his eyes. repose.

The recent journey has been too hard. After 17 days of endless trekking, Joshua, the silver peak that has reached the limit of a mortal, feels a little tired. Now he has let go of his thoughts, clearing his mind, and recovering as much as possible. energy.

   Several hours passed and the snow stopped.

   Joshua opened her eyes.

Accompanied by the rustling sound of the leaves being spurred by the cold wind, the clouds do not know when they will disperse. Now, in the night sky, two moons are hanging in the sky, one blue and one white, like gems, and white star rings. Across the night sky, like a straight dividing line, dividing the black sky in half, the night sky is full of stars, shining brightly.

   "It's such a beautiful moonlight."

   I couldn't help but admire, and Joshua sighed: "In the third edition, the abyss was unsealed, and the two moons were eroded and turned into eyes of fear. After that, you will never see this beautiful moonlight again."

Although the future is full of disputes, wars and killings, the Mycroft continent is very beautiful in peace. Even in the early game, many new players registered accounts just to see the scenery, and upgrades are also to go to more dangerous places to see the scenery. , They are called the tourist party. In the late game, most of these people were transferred to druids and joined the [World Reinventor] organization, just to bring those beautiful scenery back to the world.

   Good memories are always short. Time goes by, the two moons set and the sun rises, and it's time to leave.
