Joshua looked back and saw that his silver-haired Shenji puffed up his cheeks, turned his head and looked aside, and stopped talking.
Why are you jealous of ordinary weapons...
Although she was a little confused, even with the emotional intelligence of a warrior, she could easily understand why the girl was unhappy.
As Hotaru herself said, "Weapons only have meaning when they are held by others." ', originally because Joshua was too strong, she had very few opportunities to be used, and it only took two minutes to finish it from beginning to end - now suddenly there is an extraordinary giant sword, and Joshua asked before The silver-haired girl would naturally be a little worried about whether she could contract a second divine machine.
If it can't be used, what's the point of her existence
"Don't think too much."
In desperation, Joshua had no choice but to turn around and patted Yingying on the back. The petite girl couldn't help but let out a soft cry and took a step forward. Then the warrior turned around and patted Yingying with a green and slightly resentful look. Under his gaze, a hearty smile appeared.
"Yingying, as a divine machine, you are inherently stronger than that legion sword. There is no reason for me to use it instead of you. However, the compatibility between you and me is not high enough now. If your divine machine transformation time ends, and the enemy If I haven’t been eliminated yet, I also need a backup weapon, right?”
"Eh... that's right..."
Although there was a vague feeling that something was wrong, the silver-haired Shenji quickly accepted this simple fact.
As Joshua's magic machine, Yingying's character is somewhat similar to that of a warrior. She is very direct in doing things. After confirming that the 'enemy' was not a threat, she immediately became happy and looked up with a smile on her face and said: "Then Master, what are you doing?" What do you want for dinner?”
Joshua: "... Don't be in a hurry. I just came back from the banquet. By the way, Firefly, please go and sort out the letters sent today. I'll check them out later."
"Yes Master!"
Standing at the gate, the warrior looked at the silver-haired girl walking towards the study at an elegant pace. The expression on his face was a little subtle. He looked down at his palm and whispered to himself: "I didn't expect the difference between the weapons. Relationships are actually like this... interesting.”
After this emotion lasted for a while, it was put aside. Joshua turned around and entered the house, walked into the reception room, then put his hand into the pocket of his coat and took out something.
The mahogany rune box handed over by Munster was said to be a gift from the emperor.
"A gift from the emperor."
Staring at the small box in his palm, Joshua weighed the weight of the thing in his hand and said doubtfully: "It doesn't weigh much. It's strange. What on earth makes His Majesty think that I, the newly promoted gold, can rely on it to solve the black problem?" Chao? That's a crazy army of Warcraft, just this little thing?"
Since it seems strange, open it and take a look.
The warrior knew that the rune secret box in front of him, which could isolate all detection and prophecy spells, could not be opened with brute force. Powerful magic shrouded its surface, making the wooden box comparable to the hardest metal. Forcibly opening it would only cause The principle of the violent explosion is similar to the combination of the magic door he opened before and the old butler's secret message. Special information is needed to unlock it.
He stretched out a finger familiarly, and the red fighting spirit flame was ignited, and Joshua's unique information wave was transmitted. The next moment, the runes flowing like water on the box made of mahogany began to gradually Stagnation, after a period of time, all the runes seemed to be suspended, motionless.
At this moment, the originally closed box seemed to have been unblocked and slowly opened automatically.
"call-"
The moment the box was opened, with it as the center, everyone within a radius of several kilometers felt an inexplicable palpitation. The hibernating squirrels, silent snakes, insects, ants, and beasts suddenly woke up, and then driven by instinct He was trembling so much that he couldn't even escape.
Like a gust of wind blowing from the battlefield, an obscure and ancient aura, like a mixture of withered blood and rust, filled the entire reception room. The killing, sealing, purification, and extinction were all so orderly that they made people feel chilling and frightened. The terrifying fluctuations flowed out from it, and then combined with an inexplicable force to form a huge pressure that was as silent and cold as the 10,000-meter deep sea.
"This is the dragon's power... wait, it's the curse and pressure that remains after the dragon is killed and sealed."
He was not affected by this power, but still subconsciously stretched out his left hand holding the box a little further. Joshua frowned and looked at the things in the box seriously. He stretched out his right hand, took it out, and placed it under the light. under.
This is a black, regular rectangular stone. Under the warrior's vicious eyes, it can be vaguely seen that it is not originally black, but because it has been soaked in the blood of an unusually powerful creature for many years, the appearance has been stained with color. .
"Anti-Dragon Stone? No, further, this is the Dragon-Slaying Stone?!"
After distinguishing the object in his hand, Joshua looked surprised. He looked at the black rectangular stone in surprise and felt a little incredible: "Looking at the aura and the outer layer that is completely soaked with dragon blood, this is at least the person who killed several people." Hundreds of dragons!"
As the name suggests, anti-dragon stone is a material for restraining dragon blood. It does not exist in nature. It is the highest achievement of alchemy of all races. This kind of stone is like a whetstone. You only need to rub it on the weapon. There are various types of alchemical creations that can work, which can respectively weaken the strength, soul and attribute resistance of the dragon after hitting it. The most powerful one can even make the dragon's steel-hard scale defense become like tofu. Generally torn easily.
The Dragon Slayer Stone goes one step further. It is the final product that combines the functions of all anti-dragon stones. Its effect is extremely powerful and its price is unbelievable. As for the small piece in Joshua's hand, which is not as big as a palm, its effect is extremely powerful. The cost is about a hundred times its volume of gemstone gold! Moreover, it has a price but no market, and there is no channel to purchase it. Only the four superpowers of the Imperial Royal Alchemy Society, the Star Ring of the Far South Central Alchemy Workshop, the White Tower of the Eastern Mage Headquarters, and the Seven Sacred Mountains of the Far Sea can produce it.
This small piece of Dragon Slayer Stone has obviously been used many times. Even as a whetstone, it is soaked in dragon blood. You can imagine how big it was originally and how valuable it was.
"Although it is indeed a very cherished item, what does the magic tide have to do with dragons?"
Some puzzled warriors quickly put the Dragon Slayer Stone back into the mahogany rune box, and then closed it. The stagnant magic power began to flow again. When the runes flashed, all the breath was cut off, and it was originally surging like a tide. After losing its source, the lingering power of the dead dragon also began to gradually dissipate. The various animals around him who were shocked to the point of being unable to move panicked and waved their sore limbs, preparing to escape from their lairs. The palpitating crowd also felt an inexplicable feeling. Fear disappears.
"If all the monsters in this demonic wave are sub-dragons with dragon blood, then I am confident that I can defeat them with this Dragon Slayer Stone... huh?"
The soldier turned to look at the door of the reception room. The sound of rapid footsteps was heard. The door was quickly opened. With two letters in hand, Yingying appeared at the door with a serious face. The silver-haired girl carefully observed the surroundings and found that there was no threat. Finally, she nodded with some embarrassment, and said with some doubts: "I'm sorry, Master, I just felt a huge pressure... What happened?"
"It's okay, that prosecutor sent something amazing."
Putting the box into his pocket, Joshua picked up the cold tea on the table and took a sip, and then said slowly: "It seems that he doesn't know what he is carrying. That's right. If he accidentally lets it fall on the snowy field, Those white dragons know that this guy has the Dragon Slayer Stone... Firefly, what are you doing with two letters in your hand?"
Noticing the two letters held in Yingying's hand, the warrior asked curiously: "A very important letter?"
"Ah, I think the signatures on these two letters are very unusual, so I was going to tell you the master later... I didn't expect such great pressure to appear suddenly. I thought there was an enemy invasion."
Twisting the silver hair hanging down on the side of her face behind her ears, Yingying simply handed the two letters into Joshua's hands. With elegant movements, she put away the teacups on the table with the turn of her slender white wrists: " The tea has gone cold, let me prepare a cup of hot water."
"Okay, thank you."
Smiling and nodding, Joshua then turned his attention to the two letters in his hand.
Then he froze.
"Diamond, your surname is... His Majesty the Emperor?"
