Soul of Burning Steel

Before the training ground, after receiving the letter from Rin, Joshua opened it and browsed through it roughly.

Almost all good news.

According to what Alfonso said, his reputation has spread from the north to the imperial capital, and he is well known by many nobles. As a high-ranking gold man who is less than thirty years old, in the eyes of those nobles and big businessmen, he will definitely be able to It is because of this that those nobles and forces who tried to merge and occupy the property of the Radcliffe family by taking advantage of the death of the old earl respectfully set aside the shops they occupied. And the property was returned, and an apology and apology were sent.

Some shopkeepers who originally supported Joshua's cheap uncle, and later tried to seek refuge with other nobles, almost all knelt on the ground and begged Joshua's forgiveness-they dare not run, no one will protect them, a future The extreme intention fighters are the future army commanders, the future generals, and the people who can guide the direction of a country.

You know, even if it is the two dukes of the empire, these two great nobles with the duchy, each generation of countless resources to cultivate, may not be able to make their offspring achieve the ultimate goal.

No one would offend a big man with a bright future for such a small profit.

As Joshua's agent in the imperial capital, Alfonso has fully grasped the property of the Radcliffe family in the imperial capital. Originally, as a small businessman, he needed to find a relationship to enter the early spring auction. Now He was actually invited by the host. Of course he knew that all of this was due to the opportunity Joshua gave him, and also the return brought by his own correct choice, so his words were full of respect.

"good."

After reading it, Joshua nodded in satisfaction, then took the letter back and handed it to Rin: "I hope everything goes well for him and he can buy what I want."

Standing behind Joshua, Rin held the envelope in his hand, and asked curiously, "What does the master want?"

"Some kind of strange thing that can summon monsters from the abyss, but it is hidden so deep that ordinary people can't find it... You can't let this kind of thing fall into the hands of others, so as not to cause disaster." Joshua roughly said his goal. Regardless of the puzzled look on his divine machine's face, he continued to ask, "How is No. 3 now?"

"Everything is fine. Miss No. 3 is very satisfied with the environment here, but occasionally complains that the buildings here will not move, but the lady maid has already pushed the cart and showed her around."

Rin shrugged, he seemed to know what his master was going to ask, so he continued: "As for Hotaru, the horse that is taking care of your master now... the horse fell asleep again, and it seemed that there was a strange change .”

"Did you sleep again..."

Hearing this, Joshua couldn't help but feel a little headache. Black, as his war horse, has always been very reliable. The last time he attacked the Kuroshio, not only did he not have the slightest hesitation or fear, but instead bravely trampled on all kinds of monsters. Although the latest battle did not bring It, but the horse has indeed been growing, especially after being corroded by the breath of chaos last time and purified several times by him, Hei seemed to be stimulated to have some blood, and then became uncharacteristically docile.

After returning from the dwarf gathering area, Hei became even more quiet, and recently it has developed to the same level as before, falling asleep from time to time.

"Is it normal to take a nap before advancing?"

After casually complaining, Joshua fell into thought.

Awakening the blood of war horses is a question often discussed by knights in previous lives. This undoubtedly requires some special materials and potions. Although Joshua does not understand potions and alchemy, as a warrior who often rides horses, He happened to know the refining method of this potion.

Although there are some materials that are more precious, it happens that there are a lot of businessmen in his territory recently, so it should be relatively easy to gather the raw materials.

Rin was still giving him a brief report on the situation in the territory. Joshua was listening, and occasionally issued a few instructions, while the magical boy kept it firmly in his small notebook, and wrote it carefully. Write and draw.

(Unconsciously, there are more people around me, and the work is much easier.)

Seeing Rin walking back to Beppu with a small notebook after the report, Joshua smiled and nodded at his back, and then couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "That's great, God machine, whether it's fighting or Handling official duties, they are all first-class good assistants."

With the help of Rin and Yingying, he has now been freed from official duties. In the past month or so, Joshua has basically been training himself, training his knights and city guards.

With his current advancement to the peak of gold, the most important thing now is not to improve his fighting spirit or his physical strength, but how to control these powers more smoothly.

If he could perfectly control every ounce of power in this body, then the last time when the state of full buffs erupted, it wouldn't put too much load on his body.

He is currently level 48, and if he wants to upgrade to level 50, he needs a lot of experience. Before he finds the next source of experience, he has enough time to fully grasp his powerful power.

Looking at the knights in front of him, Joshua had taught him the steel armor breathing method and the stone dragon breathing method for those guys who had potential to improve. One was to increase physical strength and strength, and the other was to increase explosive power and endurance. , both can be studied at the same time, but Joshua doesn't think these guys are so talented.

And sometimes, the gains brought by concurrent training may not be comparable to those of specialization. If the strength is improved, the endurance will also improve. When the endurance and explosive power are improved, the strength will definitely increase. The two complement each other. It is indeed not as good as fine Repair a door.

The air in early spring was still very cold, but the more than 30 knights in the training ground were all sweating profusely, and their bodies were soaked in sweat. They did not do high-intensity training, but breathed in a strange rhythm on the spot Every breath, the air flows in the lung cavity, vibrating their bodies, muscles, and blood vessels, guiding the fighting energy hidden in the body, strengthening the muscles, bones and internal organs.

"Man discovers the source of magic and combat power from the laws of nature, and uses it as the source to grow it step by step. Logic and wisdom support human power. Such power is deeply rooted, not rootless duckweed, but Power will also create a new order and maintain the order. Therefore, if you want to break through the limits of the human body and go further, you need to read more books, understand the knowledge of this world, and then use it as the source to strengthen your own beliefs. Without beliefs As a new foundation of power, the battle qi in your body is just a stone, just coal, which cannot be burned, and emits stronger power."

Watching them undergo arduous training, Joshua would speak a few words from time to time. What he said was indeed the truth in this world. Without knowledge, one would not be able to understand the connotation of the breathing method, and would not be able to understand the source and cause of battle qi , not to mention the power of glory originating from the soul, more basic, without knowledge, these knights can't even summarize and correct their own fighting methods, they can only rely on instinct to learn and modify.

Almost none of the people present had ever read a book, and they didn’t even know any characters except their own names—of course, culture is not required to become a warrior, but if you want to become a powerful warrior, you must understand the world In order to prevent his subordinates from being illiterate in the future, Joshua specially invited several teachers to teach these soldiers and his future team.

"Of course, what I said before was all to those who are at the peak of silver—you guys who haven't even reached the silver peak, give me a good exercise first, hone the strength of the body, today, the final training The goal is to run three laps around the main city, start now! After the run, go back to the training ground to continue the cultural class, you must not miss it!"

Looking at the time, Joshua ended today's breathing training under the despairing eyes of the knights.

He changed his clothes and prepared to go back to Beppu.

According to the craftsmen, the day after tomorrow, the new Lord's Mansion in the city center will be completed, and the interior decoration has been completely completed. Now, it is just a matter of correcting some details, such as cleaning the dust and applying wax and varnish to the wooden boards.

Back in Beppu, Joshua got another piece of news from the maid.

The fruit of the tree of life has been brought.
