Chapter 136

"Master, this is almost my limit..."

West of the city, biefu, bedroom on the second floor.

Lin sat by the bed, holding the silver haired girl's right hand in his hands. He could see a silver gray dim light flowing between their hands. He took a breath. The young man with black hair and golden eyes frowned slightly and said in a soft voice: "sister, the power in her body is too inert, and I can't extract too much. This degree is the limit."

"Then stop, don't force it."

Joshua stood at the door. Leaning against the wall, he looked to the direction of the bed and said, "at least things are getting better. Lin, it's really good, but be careful. Don't put yourself in it."

"Well."

Low voice should way, Lin some tired close eyes, start a little rest.

Qiao Xiuya looked at his two Shenji, could not help nodding. Although Ying on the bed was still sleeping, her face looked much better than before. At least, now she could see that her expression was changing slightly, instead of just seeing her face as if it had been solidified before.

And Lin, not long ago, when he learned about his nominal "sister" status, offered to help. Naturally, the soldiers who had originally contracted for this would not refuse this request. However, the young man had just succeeded in the contract, and did not fight with Joshua. His level had not been improved, and his ability was a little worse, and he could not do his best.

He turned his head and looked at the ruby in his right hand. The crystal of steel isolated by fighting was shining like stars. When he looked at it, Joshua's eyes became dignified.

"The crystal of steel... Is the world that I see brought by the mysterious power contained in it true?"

Muttering to himself, the soldier narrowed his eyes: "or is that the world behind the time and space gate? But I don't think it's the same as what I knew in my previous life... "

Anyway, there is a certain possibility that the oppressive atmosphere and the feeling of being on the verge of destruction are really like the world after the end of the day, which is almost the same as the land of mirov after the invasion of the abyss in the previous life, with the smell of death everywhere.

After shaking his head and thinking no more, Joshua took the jewel back into his pocket, then turned to the boy and said, "have a rest, Lin. I'll introduce the current situation to you later."

——A few days later.

Biefu, second floor, communication array.

Since the last visit and departure of Nostradamus, Joshua asked the chief mage of the Empire to set up a simple communication array in his own house. This is because the Lord's house will not be rebuilt until spring. Before that, soldiers can't always go to St. Lauren's Cathedral to borrow the communication array of the church, Let's not say it's too much trouble, old pastor atannis. It's very inconvenient.

Now, Joshua is talking to Nostradamus.

"... that's the case. The method you said does work, but it's not obvious."

The voice of the soldier was very calm: "and I also found some new information. The cause of Ying's deep sleep is the energy feedback caused by my advancement, which makes her start her advancement. But the stagnant steel force released by a strange piece of steel crystal she carries with her stops this process and stops her advancement. I think this is probably the truth of Ying's deep sleep. "

"Yes? It's good that the method is effective. It's really good news... As for the inexplicable power in the crystallization of steel, I'm ashamed to say that I don't have much information about this precious material. "

Congratulations to Joshua, the old Mage at the other end of the communication array pondered for a while, and then suggested, "if it's gold smelting materials, I would recommend you to ask the rune dwarves in your territory for the precious materials for forging. They have the most perfect mineral materials in this continent, And he has a deep understanding of any precious material - at least better than me, a mage who doesn't know how to forge. "

"It's true."

The dwarves are rich in this world-class forging master and ore identification master. Hearing this reasonable suggestion, the soldier could not help nodding. He decided to go to the gathering area of dwarves in a few days to visit the rune dwarf big foundry who often wrote to him. Master Moria Tieti: "well, thank you for your opinion."

"Nothing."

The voice of the old mage on the other side of the communication array sounded very happy: "I'm very happy to help you such a promising young man."

After continuing to discuss other issues for a while, Joshua closed the communication array and went to his study.

In the study, the decoration is very simple. Although soldiers don't object to enjoyment, they don't bother to spend time to decorate those complicated decorations. At this time, on the desk made of black pine, there is a young man with black hair and golden eyes who is concentrating on looking at the documents on the desk and dealing with official business.Lin, this child, is really a relief.

Opening the door and looking at the scene, Joshua sighed, then sighed.

Since he contracted this Shenji teenager, his work in recent days has been dealt with by him. For this reason, Joshua was liberated from boring and tedious official business, and was able to carry out daily exercise and train other knights and cultivate his own team.

It has to be said that Lin's data base is extremely abundant, and his ability is no inferior to that of professional administrative personnel. Therefore, he can easily handle all internal affairs in his territory without worrying about mistakes and omissions.

Not only that, but the boy was also proficient in all kinds of strange knowledge. Even Joshua, who was born through rebirth, felt that he was inferior to his new housekeeper in some aspects of unpopular knowledge. He knew almost everything like a human encyclopedia.

Perfect job, can cook, deal with official business fast, and even take care of the horse!

Thinking of this, the soldier could not help sighing.

Just this morning, Hei in the stable got angry again. But this time, Joshua didn't show up. It was Lin who calmed him down. For this reason, the boy even made special feed to make Hei calm down. In a sense, he was all rounder.

"It's so strong. Lin, why do you know so much?"

Joshua couldn't help sighing.

"Didn't you say that, because the master and I had more than 60% synchronization rate, but only 50% synchronization rate with my sister, all the seniors and old lords poured a lot of special knowledge into my memory core in advance to help you deal with your daily affairs... This is what almost every Shenji has to do."

Shrugged, while looking at the document in hand, Lin sighed. In recent days, he also learned about his master's legendary experience in recent months: "maybe master, after you learned about the death of the old lord, you changed the synchronization rate because of your agitation? The changes caused by the ups and downs of mood are indeed unavoidable. "

He looked through another document and then reminded him, "by the way, master, here is a letter from the dwarves. They say that the armor they are going to give you is almost finished. If they can, it will be delivered in a few days."

"Oh? Well, it's a coincidence

Joshua was a little surprised, but then he said with a smile, "good. I'm just going to visit them in a few days... I don't need them to send them. I'll pick them up myself. Lin, help me draft a reply."

"All right, master."

Going to the dwarves' area is not as easy as saying. In fact, there are many problems to be solved.

The dwarf's gathering place is located in the southern corner of the great AEAS mountains, and it is also the nearest place to the underground lava bank. They build houses in the underground rocks and soil, and use the energy of magma to start runic tools to forge weapons. Although this place is indeed in Moldavia, it is not easy to reach, Even skilled travelers and adventurers need to climb several hills to find this dwarf home, and they need to make a lot of special preparations on the way.

Moreover, since it's a visit, it's necessary to bring gifts, such as high-quality wine and minerals, which are not easy to carry.

Of course, it doesn't need the Lord Joshua to prepare these things.

Two days later.

Everything is ready.

But just as Joshua was about to call up the team and make the final preparations for his departure, he was suddenly told that Claire had come to visit.

Joshua naturally would not refuse. He received the green haired Sen elf in the reception room.

Today, Claire windsong is wearing a purple woollen coat. It doesn't look like a druid that combines legend with nature at all. Instead, it looks like the fashionable aristocratic ladies in the imperial capital.

She looks a little tired. The soldiers know that Claire hasn't had a rest recently. She has been checking the soil on the nearby land, taking samples, and then carrying out some special experiments. Originally, Joshua thought that this situation would continue until she began to purify the land, But I didn't expect that this fairy beauty came to say that she wanted to go to the dwarf gathering area together.

"What about your purification, Ms. Claire?"

Joshua did not euphemism, but directly pointed out this problem: "before spring, if chaos pollution can not be solved, farmers will not be able to farm, this is certainly not your intention to come here."

"All right, it's done."It seems that the spirit Druid is not talkative. Hearing Joshua's question, she replied succinctly: "I have planted the seeds of the sun vine around me. By collecting information about the soil nearby, I have specially transformed it. This kind of plant will absorb the power of the sun, and then balance the surrounding environment, purify the chaotic atmosphere around... Next, just sow everywhere. "

"I see."

With a clear nod, Joshua naturally knew that the sun vine was originally a magic plant used to absorb the light of the sun and purify the negative energy. However, he did not expect that this ordinary, almost the cheapest magic plant could become a good thing to purify the chaotic power after being modified by the great Druid.

The power of magic is amazing.

Having reached this point, there would be no problem. Joshua simply agreed, "good. In this case, you can go to the dwarf gathering place with our team."

Anyway, the problem of chaos has been dealt with, so it doesn't matter to take her, and it's not a bad thing to let a high-level Druid go with her. What's more, even if she refuses, the other party can pass by, so there's no need to refuse.

"... yes?"

After a moment's silence, Claire's expression seemed to be a little surprised. It didn't look like a disguise, but really surprised: "I thought I would be rejected or talked about it for a long time, but I didn't expect it was so simple..."

"Why do you think I would refuse?"

After hearing this sentence, Joshua felt a little puzzled: "people's action is free. Even if you don't complete the purification task, it's not difficult for you, a golden Druid, to really go to the dwarf gathering area alone. What's more, you have completed your duties, so why don't I agree to your request?"

"Probably because of... The expression."

Claire tilted his head a little, then said in a calm voice, "it always seems difficult to talk. He's a very vicious man."

"Look, Claire, I never knew elves could judge people by their looks!"

As if choked for a moment, Joshua felt that he needed to explain his image. He frowned and said in a deep voice, "although I don't look like a good person and I'm not kind, I'm actually very good at speaking. Most people ask me for help, and I'll agree... What's the matter with your expression?"

“……”

Covering her cheek with her hand, the green haired elf seemed to be laughing. She turned her head and said nothing.

——The next day

Perhaps it was because of living in the coldest place, the northern people were either as quick as fire or as lazy as bears, but in any case, under Joshua's command, all the preparations had been completed.

Morning, February 24, 832.

Outside the main city, the ice sheet.

Twenty fully armed Knights sit on their mounts in silence. Their waists stand upright among the flying snow. The white frost and snow cover the silver armor with a layer of transparent thin ice, and the long guns polished and shining with metal light are set up, which makes the array neat and incomparable.

Joshua rode up and down in front of the knights on a tall black horse, flanked by Lin and Claire on their own horses. The soldier looked at the very neat array in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.

"I won't say much else."

He used his fighting spirit to amplify his voice. Joshua's voice broke through the strong wind and spread across the ice. He said in a loud voice, "knights, what we are going to visit is the residence of the dwarves and the settlement of one of the greatest allies of mankind. Therefore, you represent the Lord of Moldavia, the face of Joshua, It's the honor of human beings to safeguard - so it's better for me to be cautious in everything. It's better to be cautious and keep the current state! "

"Yes

The Knights immediately sent out a loud response, and the twenty people's voices were as low and serious as thunder. They looked very excited and looked forward to the coming dwarf gathering.

"Good."

Joshua looked up at the gloomy sky. The snow was getting smaller and smaller, and the temperature was no longer as cold as it used to be. Most of the winter has passed, and the beginning of the recovery of all things is coming

"Let's go!"

At his command, the Knights and the horses turned around together, trampling on the frost with their hooves, raising snow and dust, and they ran in the direction of their goal
