Standing at the end of the corridor, at the entrance to the dwarf underground city, Joshua looked into the distance, and then nodded.
Compared to the scattered residential areas around the lava lake on the surface, this city built in the large underground cavity is more like a place where dwarves live. In this huge underground cavity, which is either naturally formed or artificially excavated, there are countless rock buildings. In the extremely bright underground city illuminated by pyroxene lamps, there are densely populated residential areas, gathering places, and core streets. There are spectacular temples, majestic city halls, and, of course, the extremely tall [Core Forge] in the center of the city, which is made of black steel and reaches up to the dome and down to the earth.
Before he could continue to observe and conduct more detailed analysis, he saw a team of dwarves walking out of the city streets not far away. They held flags and greeted the warriors and others.
And Joshua immediately saw the figure standing in the center of the crowd.
This is an old dwarf who wears a steel ring on his head and has white hair and beard. His face and body are covered with wrinkles, but it cannot hide his strength. Muscles stronger than steel have turned into a fortress, forming this old dwarf's solid body. His body, his eyes were shining with golden light like molten iron, and his whole person exuded an aura like the majestic peaks of mountains.
Very strong!
At the moment when they looked at each other, Joshua clenched his fists and his whole body was ready for battle. In his eyes, everyone around him was ignored, and only the powerful opponent in front of him was worthy of his attention.
Joshua could feel that the old dwarf in front of him, who was at least a hundred years old, was the most powerful person he had encountered after traveling through time, second only to the God of Desolation and Nostradamus. Although the old mage was a mage, Powerful, but when not casting spells, he is just a kind old man. The powerful aura exuding from the old dwarf in front of him shows that he is undoubtedly a powerful warrior. If he holds a hammer in his hand , in addition to forging legendary weapons, it can also beat the enemy's flesh and bones into a thin piece of paper.
"At least it is at the peak of gold, and maybe it has even touched the boundary of [Ultimate Intention]."
With such a thought flashing through his mind, Joshua smiled and walked towards the front of the opponent's team.
And the old dwarf, Ironbodied Moria, the contemporary leader of the rune dwarves in the North and the Supreme Forge, also observed the warrior in front of him who was walking slowly towards him. His golden and red eyes looked at each other. This old dwarf, known for his toughness and wisdom, couldn't help but touch his beard and said with some surprise: "High-level gold? What an amazing talent."
He has lived for such a long time, and now he is only a high-level golden person. Although he has reached the boundary of extreme will, in terms of pure power, there is no essential difference between him and the young human in front of him.
While surprised, Moria couldn't help but nodded happily and smiled. A figure with the same black hair and red eyes appeared in the old dwarf's mind.
Old friend, your descendants seem to have surpassed you unknowingly... The power of human beings to pass on and reciprocate is indeed extraordinary.
He created Joshua's strength as the power of order inherited from the Chaos Guardian.
Moriyuan turned his attention away from Joshua, but before he could observe the other knights, he was shocked again when he saw Rin on horseback.
"The Divine Machine... wait, this aura is different from the one I noticed a few months ago - is it the second Divine Machine?!"
As the forger of the divine machine weapon form, Moria can sense the signing process of the first divine machine contract, but the second time... Since no one has successfully contracted the second divine machine for so many years, I am reminded. The magic used was not designed with this function. Only now did the old dwarf know that Joshua had successfully contracted two divine machines.
"Wait a minute, so don't I need to forge a set of armor?"
Before sighing with emotion about Joshua's immense strength and talent, Moria suddenly had this thought in his mind: "According to the contract, a divine machine and a set of armor..."
At the same time, Joshua strode towards the old dwarf without waiting for the other party to want to play. The dwarves he encountered on the way involuntarily moved out of the way, allowing the warrior to pass unimpeded. They could feel that the human body in front of them contained powerful power, and there was also an aura that made them feel fear. This made these dwarves completely afraid to stop Joshua.
Moria naturally noticed this, so he shook his head, and then simply stepped forward to welcome the warrior's arrival.
And Joshua also walked up to the old dwarf. He naturally stretched out his hand, and Moria also naturally held it. Two huge physical forces exploded at the same time, and translucent shock waves rippled with the intersecting hands of the two. The palm spread quickly.
After personally experiencing the opponent's strength, Joshua let go of his hand, and the warrior grinned and said: "Joshua Van Radcliffe, the lord of Moldavia, I have admired your name for a long time, don't you?" Master Rhea,"
"I am Ironbodied Moria, the contemporary leader of the rune dwarves, just a blacksmith."
As if still feeling the power from his hand, the old dwarf looked a little solemn, but then he shook his head and said with the same smile: "Don't be humble, Joshua, your reputation has already spread all over the North." Spread, even in the imperial capital, there are many admirers, and I believe that soon, the entire empire, and even the whole world will know that there is a powerful warrior in the middle age of Northland who can break through the tide of chaos alone and close the door of time and space."
While the two sides were talking to each other, Moria noticed Claire who had been standing beside him. The forest elf druid was wearing a hooded robe as usual, hiding his face and long green hair, but the old dwarf's eyes, which he had honed for many years, were so sharp that it was okay to say that he had been attracted by Joshua and Rin before. , sensing something was wrong at this time, he immediately frowned and said in surprise: "You... Claire Wind Song, you are actually still alive?!"
"Iron Body, you are alive too, why can't I?"
Gently taking off his hood, the green-haired elf took a step forward, and then replied calmly, but his tone was obviously thorny.
… Sure enough there is a problem.
No need to guess, Joshua fully knew that there must be some issues left over from the past between the two people, and it might be related to his ancestors. This can be seen from the letter Moria sent to the warrior before.
If you think about it carefully, you can also know how could a high-level gold balance druid or a forest elf who loves the jungle come to the North just because he wants to? The ice and snow here is their least favorite environment, even if it is to purify the earth, Joshua does not believe that Enochadamus can't find a better candidate with his strength and connections.
Now it seems that whether Claire came to his own territory or wanted to follow him to the dwarf residential area, there was a deeper reason.
No matter what, the atmosphere instantly became dull, and it could even be called dead silence. The knights on Joshua's side would not talk much on such occasions, and the dwarf beside Moria could not understand it at all. At least he can understand that his leader is in a bad mood and will not talk too much without permission.
But after all, Moria had lived for so many years, and he couldn't really let the scene continue to be so embarrassing. With a heavy cough, the old dwarf immediately abruptly interrupted the conversation with Claire, and turned to look at the warrior. .
"Welcome to the underground Black Steel City, Lord, if you don't mind, would you like to have lunch with us?"
Of course, Joshua would not object to this proposal. He nodded and said, "No problem."
I didn’t update Chapter 2 yesterday. It’s my fault. I admit it.
But to be honest, it’s cloudy and I’m not working full time. I’ve recently started school and moved, and I’ve got a lot of things to do. It’s hard to keep updating 3000~4000 words a day this week. Yesterday I just wrote a few words and fell asleep on my stomach. , it is really impossible to write the second chapter, and I still overestimate my willpower.
Some friends also told me not to write big chapters every time, but to occasionally split them into 2 chapters with the same word count. At least the updates will look good. I think what he said makes sense, and it seems to be the case...
