Joshua walked towards the sword closest to him.
This is a sword that is so huge that it is a bit unreasonable. Its workmanship is not fine, but rather rough. Half of the sword blade is inserted into the stone floor, and the exposed part is still as tall as half a person. Although the thick sword blade is There is rust, but it can be seen that the sword core inside is still strong, and the dark silver exterior absorbs the light, as if it is shrouded in shadow.
Walking in front of it, the tattoo on the back of his hand was already burning like a flame. Joshua stared at the big sword, silent, as if thinking about something.
After a moment, he extended his right hand.
Joshua took hold of the sword.
"Wow-"
In the closed underground darkroom, a gust of wind suddenly rose.
Because of this wind, all the rusty smell that originally filled the room was swept away, and the weapons inserted in the ground, whether they were knives, swords, guns or axes, were trembling slightly and making a dull sound. The sonorous sound seemed to be celebrating, but also seemed to be regretful. In the hymn played by countless weapons humming, Joshua stared at the sword in his hand and pulled it out of the stone bit by bit.
Light, the light generated by magic power emerged from the void. In the hustle and bustle, accompanied by the harsh friction of iron and stone, the blade of the giant sword gradually left the solid rock and was exposed in front of people. The sword body hidden under the earth has not decayed, and the sharp The blade reflected light, shining like a star.
With a strange light shining in his eyes, Joshua had already pulled out most of the sword, leaving only the last bit of the sword tip still in the ground. According to common sense, this is impossible. Drawing out the sword should be getting easier and easier. , but now, there is only the last bit of the sword left, and it stubbornly refuses to be pulled out, as if it is resisting because something is missing.
"Why reject me?"
Whispering in a low voice, Joshua asked about the giant sword in his hand, as if he were asking someone.
[Bring a brand.]
A row of such words suddenly flashed in front of his eyes. Joshua was a little shocked at first, but in an instant, he reacted to the system prompts: "Indeed... That's it!"
Taking a deep breath, Joshua suppressed all his thoughts and silenced his soul. With the wonderful breathing rhythm, the internal organs, bones, muscles and other parts of the body began to tremble. Countless subtle, but originated from The power of life itself gathered together and came to his right hand along the blood vessels and tendons, the hand holding the hilt of the sword.
The flames called Dou Qi condensed, and the power of the origin steel gathered, and then was injected into this half-old and half-new giant sword, cleaning its inside.
The rust fell off and the scratches disappeared. As the sword's blade flashed with silver brilliance, the brand belonging to Joshua was laid down, and the last remaining sword tip left the ground and was completely pulled out. Get out some dust.
The tide of magic boils! Dots of light like fireflies slowly emerged in the atmosphere, and then fell to the blade of the sword like flying snow. The huge power was easily contained in Joshua's astonished gaze.
Then, in a burst of intense light that made it impossible to see, the hilt of the giant sword that was originally held tightly in his palm turned into a slender hand, slightly resting on his palm. There was a black tattoo on the white wrist, It was exactly the same as the krait sword on his wrist.
"First meeting, Master."
A girl's elegant voice sounded. Joshua looked up and saw a petite figure standing in front of him. She was wearing a women's double-breasted dress, and her long, satin-like silver hair was blowing in the wind, like a firefly. There is an inexplicable brilliance flowing in the fire-like green eyes.
She smiled and made a deacon's salute to Joshua, then gently pulled out her right hand and bowed again: "I follow the bloodline of Radcliffe and the ancient contract. You must be me. Contractor, I am the divine machine Akrol Zhangangjian, you can call me Firefly."
Joshua, on the other hand, had a solemn look on his face throughout the whole process, without saying a word. He stared intently at the elegant girl in front of him, who had a vague sense of being an old housekeeper.
It’s not that he was dumbfounded. In fact, the thoughts in his mind were extremely complex and endless, but to sum up, it can be roughly summarized into this sentence:
"The Divine Machine is not a race where people turn into weapons, but weapons turn into people?! Am I completely doing it the other way around?!"
Naturally, this thought could not be expressed, and the silver-haired girl who called herself Ying continued. She looked a little happy, and said to Joshua with a smile in a slightly aristocratic voice: "I heard your call. , and guide you here, this is your wish and my prayer, now, the contract is about to be completed!"
"From now on, my Lord, I will fight with you, open the way with faith, and break the difficulties with strength."
No matter how surprised he was, Joshua knew instinctively that the most important step of the contract had now been reached. The power of blood surged in his body. He became serious and put his hand on Yingying's forehead.
"In this case, declare that the contract is established!"
The two of them said solemnly at the same time, their voices becoming ethereal under the influence of some mysterious power: "In compliance with the ancient contract, my life is placed in your hands, your glory is preserved by my blade, and this oath is deposited in my blood. Never give up!"
In the void, there was a faint light emerging, and Joshua felt an unusual and strange feeling rising inside his body, especially on his right wrist. This was the characteristic of the blood contract, although Joshua had not signed a contract with the divine machine before. He has a contract, but he knows how to do it. His body also has an inexplicable ability to sense. If he has children in the future, his children will also inherit this ability to sense the divine machine.
After the contract was reached, both parties looked relieved, especially Yingying. She seemed very happy and had no intention of hiding it, and her face was filled with joy.
But Joshua knew that this was just a simple appearance.
Although Yingying looks only fourteen or fifteen years old, just a young girl, as a humanoid body made of energy, although she is a divine machine, her combat effectiveness in human form is not weak, at least better than that of many humans. The silver is stronger.
At this time, the attribute version of the system popped out naturally.

[Obide by the contract and get a new life, and the ignorant weapon observes the world.]
(Attributes, talents, skills, and combat power are not weak at all, and this is still a nascent divine machine. If it is properly trained, it will definitely be stronger than it is now. No wonder the old count regards mortals as a helper. This is not only because it can be turned into a weapon.)
He secretly thought in his heart that Joshua knew that Yingying had just been born. Even so, the human form had the strength of the silver mid-level, and in times of crisis, it could transform into a weapon amplifying the power of the contractor. It was worthy of being the craze that set off a craze in the entire Continent of Disputes. A powerful race.
And she looks so cute, I don’t know how crazy those group of face-obsessed people were back then!
Joshua is well aware of the urinary nature of his group of senior players. They are all gentlemen and ladies. When raising a pet, they don’t choose strong ones but choose cute and good-looking ones. Some mages even specialize in studying alienology and demonology. In order to summon creatures like goblins or succubi, this is still a mage. It is more convenient to find a good pet. It would be good for an ordinary warrior to have a mount, let alone others.
He could only imagine how powerful and cute a race like Shenji, which was almost exclusive to warriors, would be when it was exposed, what kind of craze it would create in the melee profession—Joshua had no interest in this aspect in his previous life and paid little attention to it. In the news, I just grind dungeons and blast BOSS all day long, but even so, I have heard a lot of things about the magic machine. Most of them I only found out about it because the girls in the group were chatting in the group and swiping the screen. This is enough to prove that it The level of heat.
If Joshua was still in his original world, let the group of fans in the group know that their cold-faced black-handed leader who only knows ****·mother could actually do it In the contract with the divine machine, the whole group must explode first.
"My name is Joshua Van Radcliffe, your contractor."
Stretching out his right hand to the silver-haired girl in front of him, Joshua lowered his head and looked directly at her, and seriously issued an invitation: "I should have chatted for a while, but unfortunately there was not enough time. Now, I have to deal with my enemy. I don't know if you have What do you think?"
And Yingying naturally stretched out her right hand. She couldn't hold it with her slender hand, so she could only place it in the warrior's palm. She looked at Joshua, smiled lightly and bowed: "I am born to be able to follow my master and kill enemies." Mission, very honored.”
"Very good." After saying that, he nodded, and Joshua simply turned around and walked towards the underground hall: "Then let's set off now."
Without saying anything, Yingying followed him naturally, and the two of them walked outside together.
At the same time, the consequences of Joshua's rush to the city gate are unfolding.
"Trash!" Danlia slammed the table fiercely and was furious in the reception room of the Lord's Mansion: "Fifty heavily armed spearmen couldn't even hold off for a few minutes and were defeated in one move?!"
Unable to refute, the orderly soldier could only lower his head and look at his nose and heart. While scolding these spearmen for being such useless people, he also prayed that his employer's anger would lessen quickly and never be vented on him.
"The Silent One, haha, why is it that one of the strongest mercenaries in the North, who is also a high-level Silver, only knows how to run away, and can't even give out specific information about his strength? I really don't know what the use of hiring this person is!"
After another curse, this tall man who was so strong that he looked a little fat was now breathing heavily and veins were pulsing on his head.
The messenger could only continue to lower his head, sincerely hoping that he would not be taught a lesson.
Danlia had no intention of angering the person in front of him. He looked angry, but his brain was very calm. He was still complaining, but in fact he was thinking about other things.
(Joshua is actually so strong? No, his talent is better than that of my brother. It seems that he survived a bloody battle on the orc battlefield and made a breakthrough under the crisis... Even the Silent One is not his opponent. This means No one on our side can stop him one on one.)
(Fortunately, the adult is coming soon, and after so long, the guards and patrolling knights have gathered. He has no chance to make a surprise attack now, but he still has to pay attention to possible sneak assassinations. This is his hometown after all. There may be some hidden passages... The Silent One is also unreliable, so be careful.)
"You, go and call the three mercenary warriors who are staying in the backyard."
Having made up his mind, Danlia frowned and said to the messenger beside him: "Just say that I will pay extra and ask them to come closer to protect me!"
"yes!"
Finally able to leave, the messenger stood up quickly as if he had been relieved and ran towards the backyard, but he did not see the calm eyes of his employer behind him.
"The Radcliffe family has always been passed down by one son. Even if there are other heirs, most of them will be sent to the place where the family originated in the south of the empire like me to become a businessman."
After the people left, Danlia didn't need to pretend to be angry. He frowned and thought seriously: "All the family heads in the past generations are gold. There must be a secret behind this that I don't know about... This can be discussed later. But the Wilson family is completely untrustworthy, they have evil intentions from the beginning, and they need more attention than Joshua alone."
After saying that, he sneered and polished a huge sapphire ring on his thumb.
"You want me to be a puppet? It's really funny, but never underestimate a businessman who can make a lot of money."
