After dealing with the patrolling mercenaries on the three streets and at the gate of the Lord's Mansion, Joshua punched open the closed door without any scruples, and walked with Yingying in the front garden of the Lord's Mansion.
"That man is not dead."
Following closely behind his master, Ying looked confused and asked, "Aren't you going to kill him?"
"I don't kill people who can't resist... I feel hypocritical even if I say this."
While observing the surrounding environment, Joshua replied. He didn't seem to care about such a trivial matter: "He's just a mercenary. If he's not dead, he's not dead. No need for last-ditch blows."
"What does last hit mean?"
"It's to give the person who is not dead one last blow to kill him completely."
"Then mercenaries..."
"A warrior who gets paid to do something."
This kind of simple questions and answers has continued until now when they walked out of the crypt of the church. Although Hotaru has some basic common sense knowledge, she knows nothing about certain situations and vocabulary, especially the new vocabulary. Joshua believed that her information package was in urgent need of updating, as it was at least hundreds of years behind the times.
Fortunately, although his Miss Shenji looks relatively cold, she is actually a very curious guy and is very interested in everything around her. It will not take long for her to fully adapt to this world.
After turning a corner, they came to the main road leading to the mansion.
The Lord's Mansion is equivalent to a city within a city. The outermost layer is a walled gate, followed by a large garden and woodland, and the center is a building used to live in.
Since Joshua's steps were relatively long, Yingying could only trot to avoid being pulled away. She looked at the surrounding scenery and said to herself: "Is this where Uncle Fan lives?"
"Do you know Fan?" After hearing the interesting words, Joshua immediately turned to look at Yingying, a little surprised.
"Yes, he often comes over to take care of us." Speaking of what she knew, Yingying's lips curled up, and she recalled: "About once every two weeks. Master, you also know that the preparation of the divine machine is very troublesome..."
"No, I don't know. I only learned about the divine machine recently."
"Really...?" Ying was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that her contractor had only recently learned of her existence. She seemed a bit shocked: "Well, after all, there are so many people in the Sealing Blade Chamber who have lived in the past. There must be someone to maintain the magical machine that is left behind. The previous lord always seemed very busy, and the maintenance was all Uncle Fan’s job."
"I see." Joshua nodded and asked again: "But from what you said, are all the rooms under the church cemetery filled with divine machines?"
He originally thought there were only two, and the others were ordinary swords. You know, there were hundreds of weapons there.
"Yes, all of them."
Ying nodded and said: "In order to ensure the best resonance, each contractor will have two to three divine machines to choose from. Since most contractors in the past cannot bear the load caused by multiple divine machines, they can only Choose the one with the highest synchronization rate, and the others can only be sealed."
As she spoke, she moved her brows slightly, seeming a little confused: "For optimization, the core of each divine machine is made of part of the contractor's body. My core is made of part of your right wrist bone, and my brother's left hand is , it’s strange to say that he originally had a higher synchronization rate with you than me, so why did he choose me this time... "
(That giant ax? It does feel very familiar... It seems that it should be a slight change caused by soul fusion, causing the synchronization rate to change. Oops, I'm really sorry.)
He guessed the reason, but Joshua would not be stupid enough to say it. After hearing what Yingying said, he couldn't help but have a new question: "It seems that the divine machine left in the Blade Sealing Room is also conscious, so Don’t you and them feel pain from long-term storage?”
"can you?"
Yingying didn't take it seriously. Although she looked like a fifteen-year-old girl, she now spoke very coldly, and her pair of fluorescent green pupils were extremely cold: "Pain and loneliness are feelings that only humans can have. A weapon only has its meaning when it is held by someone. If it is not used, then wait and seal it in its sheath until the day it is unsheathed."
"It's so cold."
"Because the heart is made of iron."
Unknowingly, the two of them started talking about cold jokes. Joshua and Yingying came to the main entrance of the Lord's Mansion. The warrior looked up at the small castle and the huge wooden door like a city gate. After observing carefully for a while, he He nodded and said: "It seems that the magic door was changed after I left. The energy fluctuations are very complicated, so it is a bit difficult to open it, but it is not too troublesome."
"Master, do you know magic?" Yingying asked curiously after hearing this.
"No, I'm just used to it."
After speaking, Joshua stretched out his fist. His eyes reflected the thirty-seven energy nodes in this door that had been reinforced by magic over and over again. It was comparable to that made of pure steel. The flow rules and effects of magic energy were perfect. Easy to see through.
Just as he said - he had dismantled everything from one thousand to eight hundred in the Might and Magic Gate before, and he was used to dismantling it a long time ago.
In this case, it's a punch!
"boom!!!!"
The air was distorted into strange shapes, and then there was a loud bang, but just before the sound reached his ears, Joshua's right fist had actually hit the door, and the air wave set off a strong wind. , sweeping away the grit and dust on the ground.
At the same time, along with the breathing method that has been used countless times, the power contained deep in the body rises again, and red light pours into the door. Under the control of the legendary warrior, these fighting spirits are dispersed into countless parts. It turned into knives and tore through the magic energy routes in the door, completely destroying the magic circle supporting the door.
Everything happens in one second.
Joshua slowly retracted his fist. A gust of wind blew by, and the door in front of him turned into ashes, slowly drifting into the air. Only a few residues fell to the ground.
[Extreme intention·Collapse]
The combat skills that could only be used by gold-level experts were used so casually by a silver warrior. This is the greatest benefit brought by the legendary warrior [Jiyi].
"It would be more difficult for me to get a real pure steel door."
Stepping into the lord's mansion, Joshua turned his head and motioned for Ying to follow him: "There will be a tough battle later. It's time for you to show off your skills. Come on."
"Yes Master."
=====================================
"boom!"
A loud bang echoed throughout the city center.
This was like a siege hammer bombarding the city gate, a low and violent roar.
This voice can be heard even in the hall of the Moldavia Lord's Mansion.
Danlia was deep in thought, but was interrupted by a loud noise. He turned to look in the direction of the sound, frowned and asked, "What's going on? Is there an accident outside?"
The place where the sound appeared was really too close, which made him feel something was wrong.
"I gonna go see."
A shield-wielding mercenary standing behind him was about to leave to see the situation, but Danlia stopped him: "No, you stay and let Nar go first."
The middle-aged man naturally had his own thoughts. He said: "Francis and the patrol team are outside. If there is an accident, they will go and check first. You are walking too slowly. Why not stay here to protect me? Gnar is a ranger. He’s the best fit.”
"you're right."
The mercenary nodded and stepped back, while the bow-wielding ranger named Narr walked out, gave a slight signal and ran towards the place where the sound came from.
"It's strange. Could it be that the snow crushed a house? But this is the Northland, and every house has been specially reinforced. There is not much snow this year, so how could it be crushed."
Standing up, Danlia felt that this roar was unnatural. He had seen monsters siege cities and houses collapse, and the sound just now was not very similar to either...
"boom!!!"
There was another loud noise, the same low sound, and much more violent than the last time. If the source of the sound last time was only relatively close, then this time, it was downstairs!
"what happened?!"
Not only was there a roar, but even the tables and chairs were shaking slightly, like a small earthquake. Danlia was surprised, and her brain was running rapidly: "There was a roar not far away before, and not long after, there was an accident downstairs. There must be a connection between the two - yes, there was an intruder, he killed the patrol and Francis, opened the door and then directly attacked the lord's mansion!"
"Joshua! Yes, it must be him! He actually made a surprise attack at this time, but how is that possible?"
Shocked, Danlia regretted it. He should have reacted earlier, but he never expected that Joshua would be so direct and knock on the door without any reason. There are more than 20 people in the lord's mansion now. A silver-level warrior guard, how dare he? !
Danlia, who thinks logically as a normal person, could not guess what Joshua was thinking at this time. He felt that his nephew, who did not behead him immediately, would definitely lurk for a while and wait for the right time before launching a surprise attack. The result was unexpected. , just when the lord's mansion was at its most heavily guarded, this guy actually took action!
"Rondo, Lovin, you two go too!"
Quickly giving the order, the middle-aged man said decisively: "Call the escort mercenaries and say it's my order!"
"As you command!"
The remaining two high-level silver mercenaries replied loudly, and then ran downstairs with heavy footsteps.
"You dare to come here alone...Joshua, my stupid nephew, wait until the mercenaries and knights patrolling the city come over, and you will be outnumbered from both sides, and you will die!"
