More than a month has passed since the sudden accident. To this day, letters of thanks are still sent from the Scarlet family and the Kaos family, while Joshua and the Brandons, etc. Human relationships have also become closer.
After initially passing the inheritance test of the Double Blades of Order, Brandon obtained a lot of memories about the Glorious Era, as well as some inheritance related to the saints, including what Joshua told him a few years ago, How to liberate the secret word of the double blade of order's true name, but other than that, there is no more information. After several inquiries, the soldier confirmed that the blond swordsman did not fall into the vivid illusion like him and meet the sage with his own eyes. soul.
This has to be said to be a pity, because it means that Joshua has completely lost the possibility of meeting the sage again. There are still many problems and doubts on the Mycroft continent that need to be solved. Without the sage, the simplest For the direct source of the answer, everything can only be investigated slowly by oneself, but this is also a good thing. After all, most of the problems have been almost solved, and the next big event will have to wait until the next two years. During the abyss invasion ten years later, if there was nothing to do during this period, Joshua would also feel bored.
Now, in the year 836, January 15th, one morning, Joshua disappeared as usual, but Yingying, who had been serving him, did not show any surprise: his master would basically live in a few days. She was already a little bit used to it when he suddenly disappeared like this. What's more, from this carefree master's mouth, the divine machine girl already knew a lot of news. For example, not long after, he and other legendary strongmen had a large-scale joint operation in the void.
"The master is not here."
In Joshua's empty room without any decorations, Yingying, who originally had a gentle smile on her face, suddenly turned cold and deep. She put the hot tea prepared in her hand on the cupboard beside her and sneered: "It's time ”
Not long after, Hei woke up from a deep sleep and suddenly felt that her posture was very uncomfortable, so she wanted to turn over and change direction. But just when she was about to do so, the black dragon girl suddenly discovered in shock that she was actually being raped. Sitting tied to a chair!
Hei opened his eyes suddenly, and Hei, who was still a little confused, couldn't figure out the situation at all: wasn't she in the lord's mansion? The safest place in the main city of Moldavia, next to the master! In fact, who else but the master could tie her up!
But when she opened her eyes and scanned her surroundings, she found that she was in a mysterious room. This room is a regular square space with no doors on six sides. Each wall is painted with mithril and amethyst with extremely complex and mysterious rune arrays. The rows of rune arrays flash mysterious arcs of light to each other. It forms part of a multi-dimensional magic circle, and right in the center of this room, a huge rune amethyst is shining with bright light. He is tied under this crystal, and around him, there are indifferent faces. Hotaru, Rin with a tired look on his face, and No. 3, who was equally indifferent, were looking at her with a strange look.
"Dingling... so scary..."
A soft and vibrating voice came from the top of his head. Only then did Hei realize that between the two horns above his head, Xiaoguang had also been caught. A miniature energy circle bound him in place, making him slightly The ball of light, which had learned how to speak human language, trembled and did not dare to move.
"Um... what's going on?" Hei, who had always been nervous, originally wanted to scratch her head, pretend to smile and ask what was going on, why she was suddenly caught well, but she found out halfway that she was tied up. His chains and sealing spells are unexpectedly strong. Not to mention the chains that should be forged from fine gold, the binding magic can only be poured out by at least a high-level gold mage.
"Hey, Rin, why are you tying me up?" Until then, Heilong, who had truly understood that there was no possibility of her breaking free, suddenly panicked. She twisted her body and hurriedly said to her that she had always had a good relationship with her. Lin asked: "There must be some misunderstanding!"
I didn't steal anything! He has never skipped the training plan set by his master! I even obediently learned human swimming styles!
Hei's eyes filled with tears. She really felt that she had been very well-behaved and obedient recently, and had done nothing that would lead to punishment - and even if she accidentally turned into a prototype when everyone was about to go into the sea, she turned into a prototype. The surrounding coastal areas were turned into high-temperature salt water steaming furnaces, and the owner just knocked her on the head! It's heavy though.
But Rin who was questioned just sighed tiredly - from the look on his face that was about to sublimate, it can be known that he has stayed up late recently to deal with countless official documents and government affairs, although the Lord's Mansion is currently studying the Eastern Plains and preparing to form a team Lower-level government organizations handle daily government affairs, thereby liberating the Lord's Mansion itself from tedious trivial matters, but this series of handover work is the most tiring. Seeing Hei's expression about to cry, the mysterious young man hesitated for a while, then shook his head and said, "I advise Hei that it would be better for you to tell the truth. The master once said when interrogating cultists: Leniency will be given to those who confess, and lenience to those who resist." It’s strict.”
Hei was immediately shocked. When did he become a group with the cultists? But before she could really ask, Yingying, who had a cold face on the side, crossed her hands on her chest and said impatiently: "Okay, don't talk too much, the master may come back at any time, let's ask quickly."
After saying that, the silver-haired girl simply took a step forward. She bent down slightly, stretched out one hand, lifted Hei's chin, and then looked at the black dragon girl with moist eyes. Hotaru's eyes were full of coldness: "Quickly Tell me! Hei, how on earth did you let the master take you out last time!"
black:"???"
"Aren't you willing to say it?" She sighed, Ying shook her head, and took her hand back, as if she was about to take out something bad from her waist: "It seems that I can only do it hard-"
"No! I said it!"
Although she didn't know what Hotaru was going to bring out, Hei's instinct told her that it must be extremely dangerous! So Hei followed his own heart and said without hesitation: "But Sister Ying, you can at least tell me which time it was!"
"You ask which time!" This time, even No. 3, who had been silent on the side, changed his expression. The magic projection rippled, and the surrounding amethysts also shone with light and dark. The artificial intelligence girl was alone. He shook his hand, increased the output of the magic seal, and then said viciously: "Tell me, how many times have you gone out with Joshua in the past six months?!"
"Except...except for training, it was just once-" Heiye, who had no idea why she was treated like this, was helpless. She racked her brains to recall, and then slowly said: "That's more than half a year." Before, the time I went to the abyss with my master—but that was at least seven or eight months ago. Isn’t that what you were doing?!”
"That's it!" Hotaru and No. 3 suddenly said in unison, while Rin muttered beside him with a helpless expression: Can I go have a rest? The ball of light sitting on top of Black Head was also frightened and rolled up on the spot, shrinking in size.
"What did the master say? Ten centuries of grudges can still be retaliated!" As if to cover up her previous embarrassment, the silver-haired girl coughed and began to repeat some random Joshua quotes: "Don't say it was seven or eight. I can remember it clearly even if it’s been months or a thousand years! Okay, Hei, how did you do it that time you left us alone and went out with the master alone!"
"Say it and we will let you go." No. 3 also added. Unlike Yingying's ferocious oppressor expression, which is quite similar to Joshua, the artificial intelligence girl looked more gentle and elegant. She seemed to remember again What, and then added coldly: "And Xiaoguang—how did Joshua meet her and how did he bring her back?"
Photosphere:"???"
"I really don't know this!" He didn't understand why he was tied up for such a thing. Hei felt bitter and aggrieved, but he couldn't say it, but under the cold pressure of Yingying and No. 3, Next, she still recalled obediently: "I just remember that day when I was sitting in the corner. The master passed by and asked me what I was doing here..."
Hearing this, Ying immediately retracted the threatening expression she was imitating. She quickly took out a notebook from the small pocket on her waist, picked up the pen and started to record, and No. 3's eyes began to flash. Moving the blue data light, she seemed to be planning to record it together with the video and sound.
"...Then I replied, it's so boring. I've already visited all the ice fields. Next time I want to go for a walk in the hilly areas of the Ural Mountains. The owner thought for a while and replied no, there are more caravans there and it's easy to scare people. "
Hei's memory was very painful. It would be very painful for anyone to recall a conversation she had with someone seven months ago, but she had to recall it because two figures, one silver and one blue, were right in front of her. With the momentum of immediate execution, the black dragon girl could only stumble and recall: "...I must have been quite disappointed at that time, so the master thought for a while and asked, do I want to become stronger?"
"Get stronger?" Yingying, who was taking notes, stopped taking notes. She frowned and whispered to herself: "What does this mean..."
"I replied." Hei Ze continued honestly: "Then the director said yes, and he will take me with him."
"So simple?!" After the recording was completed, No. 3 had an expression of disbelief. The magic projection shook his head, causing his long blue hair and the small wings on his back to shake together: "Impossible, how could it be possible... But what if it is Joshua’s words…”
The voice gradually became quieter. Thinking of Joshua's daily words and deeds, both Yingying and No. 3 frowned and began to think seriously. The silver-haired girl even bit the end of her pen and said in a vague voice: "What if? Master, it’s really possible..."
Can I go back and rest? Rin yawned. He had no idea why he was called over - it was stupid to ask a dragon such a complicated question. With this time, he would rather study the recipe.
"That's all... Well, can you let me go?"
Hei twisted uncomfortably on the chair. She felt uncomfortable being locked up so tightly, especially on her chest, where the pressure was heavy. But at this time, both Firefly and No. 3 just gave the black dragon girl a cold look, and then continued to ponder: Become stronger? Just for this reason
"Master does have this kind of character..." Shenji girl whispered to herself. She felt that this was indeed Joshua's idea: "Hei felt bored. Master must have felt that her training was not enough, so he asked her what she wanted. If you don’t want to get stronger, since you want to, then just increase the amount of training and then take him out for actual combat... Everything makes sense!"
Whether it is the actual combat in the abyss or the surge in training volume after returning, this means that this is the truth! No. 3 also nodded slightly, agreeing with Yingying's speculation. The two of them immediately left Hei who was shouting "Hey, help me untie the chain quickly" and went to the side of the room to analyze it carefully.
But after calm analysis and careful thinking, both Yingying and No. 3 suddenly turned pale and discovered the problem: Oh my god, wouldn't this make them completely cold
One of them is a divine machine, and the other is artificial intelligence. Getting stronger has nothing to do with fighting and training!
"Damn it... damn it!"
Taking a deep breath, the pale-faced Ying stamped her feet and gritted her teeth: "I don't admit it! You won't know until you try it!"
No. 3's reaction was not that big. She just whispered to herself: "It seems that we need to step up the research and development process..."
Hei Ze still asked cautiously: "Can you untie it? It's so tight!"
Still no response.
…
Not long after, Joshua, who returned from the Void Star Observation Center, returned to the Lord's Mansion. He walked out of the time and space gate with a calm face, and then saw the Shenji siblings, the Black Dragon Light Ball, and No. 3 waiting for him on the top floor. This made him a little surprised: "Why are you all here?"
Moreover, the expressions of No. 3 and Guangqiu were a bit strange, and Rin also looked tired.
To be honest, Joshua was quite touched at this time. He did not say anything, but walked forward and patted the shoulder of the silver-haired girl in front of him: The whole family was waiting for him when he returned from going out. This kind of treatment is really good. It's been a long time.
At this moment, Yingying hesitated for a moment, but she immediately put that meaningless thing behind her head and said loudly: "Master! I want to become stronger!" Although No. 3 on the side did not He spoke, but his eyes undoubtedly said the same thing.
"Ah? It's great that you have this intention... But."
Although it felt a little inexplicable, Joshua was shocked by the girls' desire to become stronger. He laughed and changed his words: "Don't worry, I will go to the eastern plains to meet Barbarossa and others in a few days. Let’s meet, he is the leader of Guantian White Pagoda’s generation. With the technical reserves of the Eastern Plains, it will not be a problem for you to become stronger based on your original foundation!” The tone was like a teacher encouraging students, and the soldier watched with gratified eyes. Everyone.
"Also, Firefly and Rin, I will be traveling far away in a month, so be prepared."
After finishing speaking, Joshua casually nodded at the trembling Heihe Guangqiu who was standing aside: "Xiaoguang, please come with us, I think we will need it for this operation."
Ignoring Hotaru, who was clenching her fists in excitement, not knowing what she had done, Rin, who had a confused expression on her face, and No. 3, who looked shocked and felt betrayed, Joshua's thoughts turned to the story of Nostradamus and Nostradamus not long ago. The big news he said.
"Are those people from the Earth Temple planning to reconcile with me soon?"
He thought about the meaning of this sentence, and the warrior couldn't help but recall the girl he killed for betrayal in the Blood Moon Abyss again, and he shrugged.
Hope they are sincere enough.
I know my writing is not good, so don’t complain.
Please ask for a monthly pass at the beginning of the month!
