Cemetery Church, underground.
After walking through the long and deep passage, Joshua came to the empty hall at the end. The golden light of fluorite illuminated everything around him, and a huge statue of a snake-wrapped hand holding a hammer stood in the center of the hall. It contains a heart-stopping courage.
This is not the first or second time that Joshua has come here.
In fact, since returning from assisting Veldani, the warrior has taken some time almost every week to come to the huge basement under the cemetery to maintain the many divine machines that have no owners.
It is said to be maintenance, but in fact it is just to see if the magic circles that maintain a balanced environment are still functioning. Although Joshua has some blacksmith professional levels and can forge some of the most basic magic equipment, but the divine machine is The structure of alchemical life is so complex that it is impossible for anyone without a legendary alchemist or blacksmith master to maintain them in the true sense. The most he can do is take a formal look at them.
But today, Joshua's purpose of coming here was different from before.
He came here to awaken his second magical machine.
The soles of his boots collided with the stone floor, making a loud sound. Joshua walked through the hall in silence.
There are four rooms around the hall. The equipment in these rooms are related to alchemy and forging, and are extremely sophisticated. For example, in the first room on the left, the flange crystal forging table produced in the western mountains is a top legendary equipment that can be used by ordinary blacksmiths. The element furnace core next to it can not only heat the materials for forging, but also The alchemical equipment provides stable energy of various elements.
Without paying attention to these devices that would drive an average alchemist master crazy, Joshua walked quickly towards the front, where there was a deep and dark passage, which led to the warrior's destination.
Divine machine sealing room.
The passage was deep and long, with no light except in front of it. However, at Joshua's speed, it didn't take long before his eyes suddenly became clear.
Standing at the door of the Sealing Blade Room, looking up at the huge intact fluorite above his head, Joshua couldn't help but stop. The warrior seemed to be thinking about something, but after a while, he shook his head and stepped into it.
Walking into the sealing room, a smell of rust unique to steel hit his face. Joshua didn't take it seriously. He looked around the underground darkroom located under the church cemetery and carefully looked at the various items stuck in the ground. Find your own target among hundreds of weapons.
It didn't take long for him to find the giant ax half-embedded in the earth.
Joshua walked towards the huge axe.
This is a pure black long-handled double-edged giant axe, with two thick curved blades and a sharp spearhead. Its structure is plain and simple, without any flashy decorations, and it is very heavy at first glance. The long metal handle and the ax blade are forged in one piece, with rust stains on them, and the edge of the pure black arc blade has a hint of dark gold, like a flame burning pattern.
Walking in front of it, Joshua raised his left hand. He chuckled and said to himself: "It's different from last time."
There is no change in the divine machine contract. Unlike three months ago when he signed the contract with Ying, there was no trace of the divine machine contract engraved in the warrior's left hand being in operation.
This is normal.
Through the inherited memories, Joshua knew that contracting a divine machine was a huge burden for ordinary warriors. The energy circuits in their bodies are not enough to withstand the increased power brought by multiple divine machines, so in order to prevent these rare contractors from being crushed by their own weapons, after they contracted the first divine machine, the divine machine was created The program set from the beginning will stop the spontaneous contract resonance phenomenon and terminate any ability to operate automatically.
If you really want to contract a second divine machine, then the contractor, as the owner, must take the initiative to inspire it and express that you 'need them' and need the help of the divine machines.
So, now, Joshua stretched out his left hand and grasped the long handle of the black axe.
"What a divine machine."
He said calmly, the warrior's red pupils stared at the giant ax in his hand, and his voice echoed throughout the Blade Sealing Room: "Answer my call."
"I, Joshua Van Radcliffe, the head of the Radcliffe family, your contractor, now need your help, I need you to become my power."
With every word he spoke, Joshua could feel that the back of his left hand began to gradually become hot, and the temperature became higher and higher until it was like a burning flame. And a tattoo of a giant ax with a snake wrapped around it quickly appeared on the back of the hand.
"call-"
There was a tremor, and then a strong wind blew up from nowhere.
In this sudden magical wind, the other weapons stuck on the ground were shaking violently. Whether it was a hammer, a gun, a sword or a flail, they were all vibrating spontaneously and making a clear sonorous sound. Among these sounds, Joshua seemed to be able to hear many vague sounds.
"The second one..."
"Surprisingly, someone actually wants to contract a second divine machine..."
"Stop! This is too dangerous. If you are not careful, you will die immediately!"
"Come on! Young man, you can do it!"
"Don't continue, give up, for the sake of your life."
Among these vague voices, there were surprises, dissuasion, encouragement and doubts, but Joshua didn't care about these. He just silently felt the burning heat of the divine machine contract on his back and the pulsating power in his body, and then put the hand in his hand. The giant ax was pulled out of the earth bit by bit.
"Qiang!"
The friction between iron and stone made a crisp sound, and golden light emerged from the void. When the warrior pulled the giant ax out of the solid rock and showed its complete ax blade, the magic power in the atmosphere began to boil, and Qiao Xiu Ya didn't hesitate at all. He poured his fighting spirit into the weapon in his hand, cleansing its inside and leaving his own mark.
Fiery power burned and flowed between the muscles and blood vessels. While Joshua and Shenji were exchanging power with each other, the rust on the giant ax gradually fell off, and the golden lines glowed. The black giant ax was revealed under the infusion of the warrior's fighting spirit. There was an extraordinary momentum. Awe-inspiring rays of light flashed, and an extremely heavy aura came. It domineeringly absorbed all the magic power around it into its body, turning the originally pitch-black ax body into complex patterns intertwined with black and gold, as if symbolizing Death and victory alike.
Then, under Joshua's gaze, the magic power bloomed, and the huge power distorted the boundaries of matter. A slender figure was shaped out of the bright light that made it impossible to see, but it was originally held tightly in the hands of the warrior. The handle of his giant ax also turned into a slender hand, with the same krait giant ax tattoo on his wrist.
"Master, it's our first time meeting you."
The light gradually dissipated, a clear young voice came from in front of Joshua, and a slender figure appeared in front of him.
This young man has shoulder-length black hair, which sticks up a little due to lack of combing. He also looks a bit feminine, and his eyes are as golden as the sun. In contrast to Joshua's tall body, the young man looks His body was extremely petite, so he could only raise his head and stare at the warrior.
At this time, the young man wearing a black shirt trimmed with gold had a friendly smile on his face. He took his hand out of Joshua's palm and then performed a deacon's salute: "Rin Akrol Dragon-Breaking Axe" , in response to your demands and expectations, in compliance with the bloodline of the Radcliffe family and the ancient contract, and hereby offer my loyalty to you."
He lowered his head, closed his eyes, and then praised the warrior in an elegant tone: "Your power amazes me, Master. You are the first being who can successfully sign contracts with multiple divine machines since the founding of the family. I am proud of you." This is an incredible honor.”
"Rin... what a good name."
Feeling the sudden increase in his body, but still withstanding the pressure within the range, Joshua had a faint smile on his face. He looked at the young man in front of him, stretched out his left hand, and said seriously: "It is a blessing for me to be able to contract with you."
Hearing the warrior's words and seeing the other's extended left hand, Rin blinked and immediately understood what he was going to do next. He chuckled, then walked forward obediently and pressed his forehead against the warrior's palm. middle.
Feeling the strange feeling rising from his left wrist, Joshua nodded slightly, and then said solemnly together with the young man in front of him: "Declaration, the contract is established!"
The voices of the two people became ethereal under the power of blood and contract: "In compliance with the ancient contract, my life is placed in your hands, and your glory is preserved by my blade. I will store this oath in my blood and never abandon it!" "
At this point, the surrounding divine machines have also stopped their vague shouts, and the voices of doubt and dissuasion are no longer heard. Now, they resonate with the warrior's contract, tremble, and make a metal-to-metal vibration. As if whispering, singing and praising this scene.
This was a scene that had never appeared in the Blade Sealing Chamber.
The contract, the second divine machine contract, was successful.
After the contract was reached, Rin's expression changed slightly. He felt that there was a powerful force coming from his master. It was a huge energy that could make ordinary people break through their own limits. However, the black-haired and golden-eyed boy was just After saying 'hmm', his expression returned to normal.
When Joshua saw this scene, he couldn't help but asked curiously: "Is there no discomfort?"
Rin smiled modestly. He seemed to be a little uncomfortable, but generally speaking, he was fine. The young man said softly: "The master's power feedback is indeed very large, but my body has received special strengthening. This level of power can probably be accommodated.”
At this time, the property version of the system also popped up at the same time.

This is completely different from Ying's initial attributes.
After reading the attribute panel, Joshua couldn't help but have this thought flash through his mind. He looked at the young man standing quietly in front of him with some emotion.
Although Ying's various attributes are not weaker than Rin now, this is the result of fighting with him for such a long time. It feels very abnormal for Rin's initial attributes alone to be so strong.
If you are confused, just ask.
After listening to the soldier's question, Rin was stunned for a while. He scratched his cheek with his fingers, and then replied while thinking:
"The initial attributes of the divine machine are generally determined by your master's strength and resonance. I am stronger than my sister for many reasons, but this is the most important." The young man naturally knew his sister's situation, and he said slowly : "Because I had a high resonance with you, master, from the beginning, I was instilled with many inherited memories by the old master, and they were also specially strengthened a lot... In fact, most of the divine machines are like this. After they are created, Placed in the Blade Sealing Room, only the divine machine with the highest synchronization rate will get the opportunity to be strengthened and contracted."
When he said this, Rin's face looked a little strange: "Actually, I felt a little strange when you signed the contract with your sister. I obviously have a higher resonance, so why did you choose her... Of course, This is the master's choice, and I won't question it. It just feels different from the previous practice, a little strange... "
After roughly understanding the reason, Joshua couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
All of this was caused by time travel. The original Joshua did have a higher resonance with Rin, so as the next generation contracted machine, the boy in front of him also received many special enhancements. However, when the warrior crossed over halfway, something went wrong. Contracted with Ying who has never been strengthened.
Rin has a perfect memory bank, while Ying's database has not even updated a lot of common sense. From this alone, it can be seen that what the young man said is true.
Thinking of this, Joshua couldn't help but shook his head: "It turns out that in the default setting, it was you and I who signed the contract... I kept you waiting for a long time."
It seems that his time travel has really affected a lot of things. If Yingying hadn't had an accident, this god would probably have stayed underground for a long time.
"It's not a big deal."
Rin shook his head, his golden pupils were very calm: "Weapons exist to meet the needs of the master. You need me, and I sensed it, so I signed a contract with you - this has nothing to do with the time, just to see Your wishes and needs.”
"He is really a considerate and good boy." The warrior turned around with a smile and walked slowly towards the door of the Blade Sealing Room.
"Because I am your weapon."
The boy shrugged, then quickly followed Joshua's pace and walked out of the Blade Sealing Room behind him.
