Soul of Burning Steel

Just when Yingying and No. 3 looked at each other across the air, Joshua began to observe with great interest the magical girl who seemed to have completed the advanced stage.

If we only talk about the appearance, there is naturally no change. Whether it is height or figure, Yingying is exactly the same as before. The changes caused by the advanced stage should all be in the body.

Joshua's eyes can directly see the flow of energy, but for Hotaru who has a contract with him, the flow of energy in the body is almost defenseless for him, and he can easily see through it at a glance.

"It seems that the output power of the core has indeed increased, and the energy route also has a supercharged magic power structure, which can burst out with greater power for a short time..."

Analyzing the general magic energy route in Yingying's body, Joshua couldn't help applauding the alchemists who designed the magic machine four hundred years ago - although he couldn't understand the deeper structural route at all, it didn't prevent him from being able to see It can be seen that, in terms of the present alone, Yingying's human form already has the strength of the silver peak, and will even break through the gold-level limit soon.

Psychic body, no need for diet, absorbing free energy, fast self-healing, limb regeneration... All kinds of special abilities are blessed in this small body, and it can even allow her to grow continuously through fighting and killing. It can be called the highest masterpiece of alchemy.

However, the body of the Divine Machine is still a weapon after all, and the human form is only designed for easy portability and communication. Her strength is actually not important. You need to find an opportunity to fight with a magical machine.

"Firefly, how do you feel after you advanced?"

Raising his head and looking directly into the eyes of his own weapon, Joshua asked Ying his opinion expectantly. He is not very proficient in alchemy, and sometimes it is better to ask Shenji himself.

But the silver-haired girl was obviously absent-minded. She kept staring at the purple-blue rune core in Rin's hand, and then blinked before reacting:

"This, I feel pretty good...Master, who is this?"

What does it feel like to feel good... Joshua frowned, but after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly realized that it was really useless to ask Yingying, since she didn't know alchemy, how could she tell her various changes in detail.

Looking sideways at the No. 3 projection floating in front of the bed like a ghost, Joshua thought for a while, and then slowly said, "This... the newly brought home decoration?"

Firefly, No. 3: "?"

While Joshua was still dealing with his own affairs in the territory, the Imperial Capital, the Holy City of Three Mountains, and the Palace of Morlaix.

The weather in the center of the empire was already very warm. Most of the passers-by on the road had already taken off their fur coats and put on long-sleeved shirts. After sending the students back to the Royal Academy, Nostradamus did not stop, but walked directly into the palace , Once again found His Majesty the Emperor who was handling official business.

With the status of an old mage and his relationship with the emperor, he did not need to be notified in advance to enter and exit the palace, and the guards on the road would not stop him. Not long after, he saw this man who held the highest authority of the empire in his study.

Opening the study door, Nostradamus saw a man with dark golden shawl and long hair sitting on an armchair in the study. He was looking at an ancient book with a bright silver cover, and on his lap was a Looking at a little boy with dark blond hair and a pair of sky blue eyes.

"The Seventh Prince is here today."

The old mage frowned, stroked his white beard, and said in surprise, "This is really rare."

"This little guy, today he said he wanted to see me handle official business..." In front of his own child, the emperor of the empire did not show much majesty of a legendary warrior. He put down the ancient book in his hand, turned to look at the old mage and said, "Teacher , this time I came here, I should have finished dealing with the affairs of the Northland."

"That's right. The three of them have all returned from different worlds. They seem to be looking for the time-space gate by themselves. After I opened the time-space gate, they quickly returned by themselves."

Waving his hand, he called out a chair out of thin air. The old mage sat on the armchair with the top lambskin cushion. He thought for a while, and then said: "Israel, there is something very worthy of attention, worth mentioning .”

Even his own teacher, the great mage of the ultimate level, is so cautious, even the emperor of the empire cannot ignore it. Israel asked curiously: "What is it?"

Nostradamus roughly told about the experience of Joshua and others in another world.

In the study room, there was a sudden silence.

"Extreme Instinct Rage God... Even with the help of others, it is not easy to kill it... It seems that Mr. Radcliffe has indeed comprehended the Extreme Instinct, and the turbulence of time and space in the North has disappeared. The line of defense from Xiang Xingzhu Inner Sea to Blind Sea will be stronger."

Israel pondered, the other world at the other end of the space-time channel lost its threat, which was also a huge change to the strategic deployment of the entire empire. He was still stroking his child's hair, and the young seventh prince seemed to want to He wanted to move the hand on his head, but it was useless after struggling for a long time. After a while, the emperor said: "It seems that the evil god who invaded the other world has left that world. Given the distance between Mycroft and that world, the forces of chaos appearing in the far south today are likely to be related to that evil god of chaos. Sir Chaos is also investigating related matters."

After he finished speaking, he paused, then shook his head with a smile and said, "And I never thought that there would be someone who could advance faster than me back then. The times really are advancing."

"It's just luck."

Unable to move his father's big hand away, the Seventh Prince gave up on this matter, but after hearing what his father said, he said a little unhappy: "Whether it's Brandon or that Radcliffe, they are just You just inherited the inheritance of the sages, with the inheritance of the sages, anyone can do these things, but you are different, Father..."

It seems that although the Seventh Prince looks young, he actually knows a lot of things. He speaks in a very orderly manner, not like an ordinary child.

But Israel shook his head, he continued to touch his child's head, and said slowly: "Alva, it is not because of the inheritance of sages that these things can be done, but because these things can be done, the sages can be awakened." inheritance."

"Don't be blinded by the negative emotion of jealousy. You are my child, and you need to look at the problem from all angles. The Azure Orb has been passed down from the sages for thousands of years, but it has been silent since the third sage guarded the abyss. It was not until four hundred years ago that the ancestors of the Radcliffe family wiped out chaos and awakened the power of the guardian of chaos, and now, this generation of Lord Radcliffe has made it a step further, that is his strength."

He lowered his head, looked at his child seriously, and said in a deep voice: "Luck is a part of strength. It is true to say so. A person's life is unpredictable, but without strength, even if it is the opportunity that fate bestows on you When it comes, you can’t grasp it.”

After finishing speaking, he didn't care about his son's unconvinced eyes, but fell into thinking.

A fighter who had comprehended extreme intent before the age of twenty-five and advanced to a high-level gold... This means that he is destined to become a strong extreme intent, and at such a young age, he may even advance to legend in the future.

Concentrating, looking at his son, the emperor of the empire aroused a different kind of thought in his heart.

——Time is passing by, and the entire Northern Empire is gradually getting warmer, and the real spring is coming.

Because of the students of Nostradamus, the news about Joshua and others went to another world and returned spread in the Imperial Academy of Royal Mages, and then gradually spread to the high-ranking nobles of the entire imperial capital.

And when they were dealing with the outside world, the dwarves did not cover up the incident at all, as something worth talking about, but in their mouths, the protagonist was not Joshua, but the old dwarf Moria.

In the mouths of these two groups of people, Joshua, Moria and others have almost become figures in myths and legends, especially the black-haired warrior who tore apart the space-time passage in front of everyone, and now even if he is focusing on hunting and exploring on weekdays Many hunters and adventurers gradually knew his name.

It didn't take long for the entire empire to know that in the Moldavian territory of the Northland, there was a powerful lord with extraordinary strength, and in his territory, there was even a passage leading to another world—— , with his so powerful secret.

Although there have been very strange deviations in the spread of this news, in fact it cannot be said to be wrong, which undoubtedly attracted a large number of curious adventurers to explore.

Starfall 832, March 27th.

The snow melts and spring comes.

In the black forest of Moldavia, the sun vine planted by Kleier has spread to every corner of the forest. Its roots penetrate deep into the soil, absorbing negative and chaotic atmosphere. Its original white body surface was gradually stained with layers of black streamer, until finally, it even turned into a dark brown appearance.

After almost two months of absorption and conversion, the chaotic power absorbed by the sun vines finally reached its limit. When the first ray of warm wind and sunshine in spring came to this bitterly cold land, there was a slight crackling sound, black Countless gray-green buds emerged from the vines, and these vigorous buds grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then turned into clusters of flower buds, bathed in the sun.

The flowers bloomed, bursting out countless gray catkins all over the sky. In the slight crackling sound like flames burning dead wood, the gray catkins turned into a rising cloud and mist, covering the entire black forest. These catkins carried a trace of With the power of chaos, they dance with the wind, and then, under the sunlight, they are purified into crystal clear fly ash, scattered on the ground, adding fertility to the land.

This year is bound to be a bumper year.

Countless adventurers come and go live in the main city of Moldavia. They set out from here to hunt monsters, explore the depths of the mountains, and then bring back the corpses of monsters and precious ores, drink and laugh in taverns endlessly.

The caravans of the brigade carry rare commodities and sell them to local residents and generous passers-by. Whether it is weapons or fruits and vegetables, they will be sold out quickly. These caravans that have obtained the Moldavian trading license have no hesitation. After the sales were over, they immediately returned to the central area of ​​the empire with a full warehouse of harvest and special products. Before the next winter, they could trade back and forth three times, and the profits were huge enough to drive others crazy.

At this time, Joshua, who was training his city guards and knight guards, also received news from the imperial capital.

That's a message from businessman Alfonso

"The early spring auction, is it about to start?"

Ahhh, yesterday's second update was posted late! I didn’t ask for the last wave of double monthly tickets (sad)
