Starfall 833, May 28th, the main city of Moldavia, the Lord's Mansion, afternoon.
In the backyard of the Lord's Mansion, the light feather tree emitting a gentle silvery white light was slowly trembling, and many leaves were even drooping. They were flying in the wind, as if they were real angel feathers.
Of course, magical plants like the Light Feather Tree do not shed their leaves in seasons like summer. This is because something huge is moving in this not-so-large backyard.
"boom!"
Heavy footsteps sounded, the ground shook again, and the magical plants on the side shook off a few fallen leaves. At this time, you can see that in the center of the backyard, there is a huge thing running, and it is precisely because of it that it caused such a commotion. .
"Click."
Under the sunlight of the afternoon, one can clearly see the true appearance of this behemoth. It is a set of huge black full-coverage armor. Its outer shell is made up of layers of rune armor with magical light flowing through it. The main body of its structure is Several hard and smooth steel plates, magic veins connected the armor and steel plates, and then converged on the chest of the armor.
On the chest, there is an additional layer of triangular raised armor, which flashes with orange-red dangerous magic light, protecting the energy core behind it.
"good."
A low voice came from behind the thick armored helmet. The top of the helmet had two ferocious corners, and the eyes were a horizontal strip of high-purity steel crystal that could be seen through the transparent steel crystal. The eyes of the wearer behind it.
It was a pair of red eyes that were like flames. It was obvious that the one in the armor was Joshua.
"The magic armor sent by Moria is indeed good. Although it is customized according to the specifications when I was at my golden strength, it can still be used as long as I don't exert my full strength."
At this time, a large row of system notification messages appeared in front of the soldier's eyes.
[Unnamed sophisticated magic armor]
[Gold level magic refined item, average outer armor hardness 77, has abilities: physical damage reduction, low element immunity, high flow arrow immunity, natural charging, self-destruction]
[Rune abilities: Wild Power, Eye of Eagle and Owl, Heart of Savage Dragon, Levitation, Magic Shock, Magic Self-destruction]
[Item description: This is a new type of armor designed jointly by the Earl of the North, Joshua Van Radcliffe, and the leader of the rune dwarves of the North, Ironbodied Moria. Compared with the usual model, this new type of armor is The armor has been enhanced in all aspects. Because it uses high-energy magic crystal as the power core, it has extremely powerful self-destruction ability.]
[Why should I design such a powerful self-destructing armor?]
[by—Iron Body·Moria]
Except that the self-destruction ability is a bit redundant, this set of magic armor tailor-made for warriors can be said to be perfect, and it operates without any lag. Joshua tried it in the backyard for a while and found that it was indeed extremely smooth. It seemed to be the best. That experimental armor allowed the old dwarf to get a lot of data and make some targeted improvements.
"That's pretty much it."
Joshua, who had been experimenting for a long time, issued an order: "Interrupt the rune link, stop the supply of magic energy, and leave."
After saying that, the rune armor on the back of the giant armor moved slowly, opening a large diamond-shaped mouth, and Joshua easily got out of it. After confirming that there was no one inside, the armor automatically returned to its original shape. Hide the exit.
"Thanks to No. 3's assistance, this armor has a set of simple intelligent judgments inside. If Mycroft mainland wants to develop this technology, it will probably have to wait until around the time of the Great Demon Wave."
Standing next to this set of magic armor that was at least half taller than the warrior himself, Joshua patted its carapace, very satisfied, but commented with a hint of regret: "If I hadn't advanced to the ultimate level, This was indeed a great help to me, but now it’s not that big of a help.”
But no matter what, the strength amplitude of this set of armor for Joshua is definitely much higher than that of ordinary magic armor, so he doesn't force it and is quite satisfied.
"Uncle Joshua!"
Suddenly, a soft girl's voice came from the lord's mansion. When the warrior turned his head to look, the back door of the lord's mansion had been opened, and a small figure was jumping towards him. , extremely energetic.
This little figure has blond hair and a side ponytail. She is wearing a beautiful black and red dress. Judging from her height alone, she looks about ten years old. She moves at a speed that is definitely not possible for ordinary human children. He ran to Joshua's magic armor and exclaimed loudly: "Loranda... eh, this one is so handsome!"
After seeing this black body with ferocious curved horns on its head, which looked more like a devil's magic armor than a human's equipment, this little girl with a pretty and cute face was immediately attracted to her whole body. While touching the knees of the armor - he could only touch the knees, he asked excitedly: "Uncle Joshua, is this your new armor?!"
"Yes, little Fran, what do you want from me?"
Standing next to the armor, Joshua looked at the little girl's excited behavior with amusement. He asked, "I thought you would be in the room, listening to Ying tell stories with my sister."
The little girl in front of her is Fran Scarlet, the daughter of Brandon and Verdani. In recent days, she and her sister Remy Scarlet have been taken away by the couple. Sent to the lord's palace in Moldavia.
This is of course not because the two of them need private space because they reunited after a long separation. In fact, Brandon rushed back to the Northland not just to reunite with his wife and daughter, but to deal with the increasingly serious situation in Moldova. cult incident.
All the cults in the main city of Moldavia have been captured by No. 3, but the private small villages have been infiltrated a lot. If Artanis hadn't sent church knights to cooperate with Joshua's soldiers and knights, Sweeping up, it is estimated that several incidents of sacrifice should be reported at this time.
Although the situation in Moldova is not as serious as Joshua's, because Verdani's methods are not as fierce as those of the soldiers, there are still some consequences. Not long ago, a village in the forest was completely sacrificed to blood by cultists, and the scene was abnormal. It was bloody, and it looked like the sacrifice was successful. Maybe something had actually been summoned.
Brandon and his wife need to deal with these incidents and track down the cultists who did it and the demons that may have been summoned, so they are temporarily unable to take care of their two children. After thinking about it, they feel that Moldova is not It was not safe, so they temporarily sent the two sisters to Moldavia and asked Joshua to take care of them.
Of course, asking a warrior to do this kind of thing is definitely trusting the wrong person. For someone like Joshua to take care of a little girl, I'm afraid the stories he chooses to tell stories are all about heavy and bloody themes. Fortunately, Hotaru and Rin can help him take care of her. , otherwise when the Brandons come back, they may not join forces to fight the soldiers to the death.
Then again, this little girl named Fran unexpectedly doesn't like beautiful dolls and cute animals. Instead, she prefers ferocious weapons, armors, and mighty monsters and dragons. Joshua was strange but also very happy because he happened to have all these things. After the warrior took Fran to meet Hei once and asked her to try diving with Hei (with protective measures in place), Not surprisingly, the little girl admired Joshua.
"Okay, don't look at it. Just put this thing here. You will have time to look at it later."
Squatting down and patting the other party's shoulder, Joshua lowered his voice as much as possible to avoid scaring Fran. He asked seriously: "What do you want from me?"
"Well... Uncle Loranda has something to do with you."
Touching the uneven rune armor, the little blond girl, who was a little afraid of warriors at first, but now has no feeling at all, her eyes flickered, and she answered Joshua's question absently: "I should be waiting for you in the lobby. ?Looks a little anxious."
"Understood."
Nodding, Joshua stood up. He looked up at the sun that was gradually setting, and then warned: "You can look at the magic armor here, but you must come back after the sun goes down. Do you understand, little Fran?"
"Understood!"
After receiving a crisp response, the warrior shook his head. He knew that he would definitely send Rin over to capture her later. As for why it wasn't Yingying... With Yingying's character, maybe she stayed with Fran to watch the stars and chat. , when the time comes, I will send Rin out to call for help, why bother
With this thought in mind, Joshua walked back to the Lord's Mansion and headed to the hall.
He wanted to know what the reason was for Loranda to come to him at this time.
Second update, please give me a monthly pass
Try to have perfect attendance this month! You guys believe me!
Daily life, if you think about it, it would be too boring to write about it all... So let's leave it at that. Originally there were many plots in the middle, such as Brandon entrusting his two daughters, going to engage in cults in the middle, Hei and the two little girls. During the interaction, Joshua took a look at the preparations of the college students, but he was afraid that you would all call me crazy, so he abbreviated them all and wrote the second part directly.
By the way, although it’s just a joke, these two characters have been around for a long time.
