Not to mention Joshua who was urging Hei to become stronger as soon as possible and it would be best to officially reach the Ultimate Level and advance to Legend as soon as possible. At this time, Faina, who had hurriedly returned to the East China Sea through space magic, stood in the teleportation circle in her residence, but Didn't move out.
At this time, the East China Sea Sage's face was solemn, without any trace of the heroic and uninhibited spirit that he had in the middle of the black forest, even the Evil God and the Evil God behind the scenes did not pay attention to it. On the contrary, Faina's face was almost full of dignity. It's full of seriousness and tension, and even a little bit of fear.
"Huh..."
After a long time, Faina slowly walked out of the magic circle, but as soon as she walked out of the magic circle, the legendary strongman suddenly felt weak under his feet. If he hadn't reacted in time and held the wall, he might have been really embarrassed. fell to his knees.
"Ha...that bastard Radcliffe...this lunatic, does he know what he is talking about?!"
After finally standing firm, Faina took a few deep breaths and then said bitterly in a nice voice: "The evil god is just a natural phenomenon created by man. There is a higher level behind the scenes, which can be compared with the saints, and even A being who is stronger than a sage—does he know what the realm of a sage represents? Is he preparing to scare everyone in the world to death by suddenly saying such big news?"
Of course, Faina knows that Joshua has this shitty character. The last time he revealed the truth about the evil god and the end war of the Era of Glory outside the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrifice, it scared all the forces in the world of Mycroft. Everyone was panicking, not to mention the East China Sea branch, even inside the Tianbai Tower, there were calls for "prepare to immigrate to another world as soon as possible". They were so frightened that they wanted to run away, and the Northern Empire's Different World Exploration Department had a high chance of doing so. It was because of this news that the establishment was promoted - but the Flame Prison Lord, whose head was like a machine, showed no fear on his face, and his expression did not change, which made everyone present could only force themselves to remain calm and pretend to remain calm. Look!
Maybe Joshua still thinks that the establishment of the Foreign World Exploration Department is to find colonies for the expansion of the empire. Faina couldn't help but have such an idea flash through her mind, but after a moment's hesitation, she said to herself rather uncertainly: "Isn't that true?"
He's not a stonehead.
But instinctively, Faina felt that it was very possible. After all, Joshua's character had never changed. This time after he communicated with the evil god without permission, he spoke straightforwardly without any ups and downs. She said that she was scared and could not even hear the emotions, and told one shocking secret after another - Ms. Sage wanted to cover the other person's mouth on the spot. You know, if this kind of news spreads, most of the forces will be disturbed. Desperate and thus completely losing the will to resist!
Think about it, if humans know that the end will come in a few decades, it will be inevitable and unstoppable. Even if it is blocked, there will be an endless stream of other doomsdays coming behind it, and there will be endless attacks - who can have the heart to resist? ? If you are energetic, prepare to run away; if you are pessimistic, just wait for death.
But Joshua not only showed no expression at all, but when he told the news, he seemed to be saying: "Let's eat noodles for lunch today." Such a calm and strong psychological quality immediately suppressed the entire audience, making everyone have to force their faces. Laughing, using various means to cover up her nervousness, so as not to make a fool of herself in front of other legends. Faina herself was really not used to this solemn atmosphere, so she almost ran away and used teleportation to return to her home.
"… next time."
Thinking of this, Faina took a deep breath, and her eyes showed determination: "I no longer believe in such words as 'I have something to tell you,' or 'I have a little news,' otherwise I would have to be beaten by that Guys are scared to death.”
The other two legends, Swordmaster Lamott and Nature Master Garan Nord, were almost the same. Swordmaster went to a tavern on the border of the Black Forest in the Western Mountains and drank all night before setting off slowly. Go looking for legends that you can trust, and spread the news that Joshua said in a small area. After returning to the Eternal Island, the natural teacher stayed in the Elf Court for one night, and then reappeared in the evening of the next day, his face still a little... gloomy.
And the fearless attitude of the legends who feel that they are full of courage and have no fear of the truth reflects the shock in his heart. Joshua is currently pushing himself on Hei's head and seriously reflecting on his lack of willpower and other issues.
Soon, the night passed, and the time came to noon on January 4, 838 Year of Starfall.
Joshua is inspecting the Empire's External Exploration Department at Ares Fortress, an elite team headed by Priest.
The external exploration team usually consists of five people, with the captain as the core, plus a spellcaster, a cleric, an alchemist and a melee professional. All of them must undergo hell-level physical training and learn all kinds of biology, geography, astronomy and countless miscellaneous knowledge. Although their identity codes are spellcasters, clergy, etc., everyone After receiving training, they can tear apart tigers and leopards with their own hands, build a small survival base from scratch, use any materials to make rune crystal bombs, and hand-cast magic engines.
They would even farm if necessary.
The core of this team is naturally Priest, a talented melee professional. Of course, this is only in name. After Joshua personally planned 277 all-round trainings, Priest He has become a true warrior. He is proficient in the spells of the runes, evocations and self-strengthening systems. He can create holy water through prayer and draw exorcism circles. He can communicate with animals and is good at hypnosis, disguise, infiltration and assassination. As well as being equipped with twenty-seven kinds of poisons, Dou Qi has also reached the peak of silver with the accumulation of various precious resources, and is only one step away from the gold level.
This time, the elite team perfectly completed the task assigned by Joshua and the External Exploration Department, finding the lairs of the descendants of three legendary creatures, and minimizing the damage caused by cleaning up the black forest. In this operation, Priest and others have also shown their strength. With their silver-level power, they can survive safely in the middle of the black forest where golden monsters are everywhere, and they can even occasionally hunt one or two.
This means that even if they go to another world, Priest and others are very likely to survive and adapt. As long as there are seven or eight teams of the same level exploring at the same time, the speed is much faster than Joshua wandering around in the void alone. Much faster.
As for why there is no need to teleport legendary powerhouses to explore at the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrificial Site, it is mainly because of consumption. Just like Joshua, the energy consumption of teleporting Joshua alone to another world is equivalent to teleporting hundreds of Priest's entire team. Ten thousand times, even the Ten Thousand Realms Sacrificial Site does not want to pay so much extra unnecessary consumption.
The elite team stood on the city wall on the edge of Ares Fortress. Behind them was the black forest that had been burned to the ground. Joshua walked along the city wall past their lifetimes and observed the current situation of everyone. He walked past the mages one by one. The knights, priests and alchemists (codenames) encouraged them to continue to make progress, and each of them was given 7,500 redemption points and a B-level special redemption privilege as a reward.
It goes without saying that exchange points are precious. They are the equivalent of 'credits' in the exchange system of Winter Castle. The value of 100 exchange points can meet the expenses of an ordinary family for a year. As long as there is no extravagance and waste, it can still be used. Life is very comfortable, and with more than 2,000 exchange points, you can exchange for some precious materials that are not circulated in the market at all.
7,500 exchange points, coupled with B-level permissions, were enough for the four people present to replace their full body equipment, transform themselves from ordinary people into rich people, and receive various special enhancements, and even the transplantation of some extraordinary organs. On the spot, the alchemist The master murmured in surprise that he must give himself a 'Hydra Heart' so that he would have strong resistance to various neurotoxins and alchemical substances, which would be more flexible for his daily research and combat. The speed has been greatly improved.
Of course, Joshua cannot deny this. Transplanting extraordinary biological organs is indeed a shortcut to becoming stronger, but it can also easily cause disharmony in the vitality in the body, making it basically impossible to go too far in the combination of fighting energy, vitality, and steel power. , but the other party is an alchemist and has no ambition, so naturally it doesn't matter.
Priest naturally also received his own reward - as the core of the team, coordinating the entire team to complete tasks, and playing a great role as the pillar, he received 10,000 redemption points and two B-level redemption rights , this is a privilege that belongs to the captain, and even if other team members are envious, they will not feel like "I can fuck me."
After receiving the reward, the team disbanded. This was just a private inspection by Joshua, and the points distributed were also rewards in his own name, so all the team members were glowing and excited. With such a batch of additional resources and the favorable environment of the Great Demon Tide, they were confident Advance to gold in half a year - not the ordinary 'fake gold' that is just one step better than silver, but a truly strong person with the power of glory.
"Priest, you stay."
However, just when Priest was about to leave with his teammates and use the information terminal to show off his rewards to his sister and friends who were still in Moldavia, a low and clear voice sounded, telling him to stop. Step down.
Others also heard the voice. They turned around and didn't say anything. They just patted Priest on the shoulder enviously and then left quietly.
Priest, who was named by Joshua to stay, turned back with doubts and excitement to meet his immediate boss, the lord and the dean.
At this time, because Joshua is just an incarnation, the sense of fear he brings to people is relatively slight. But this slightness is only for his body. For ordinary people, it is still No strangers are allowed in, it's an extremely oppressive pressure.
However, Priest had spent a lot of time in the Northern Territory and was used to this kind of coercion, so he bowed his head in obedience and said respectfully: "Sir."
"Stand up, there's no need to be so formal."
Joshua bent down and tapped Priest on the shoulder - which made the young man almost gasp and kneel down on both feet - signaling the other person to stand up. After Priest stood up straight, Joshua said calmly: "I have a report here that shows that you have taught yourself a lot of things in the External Exploration Department, including not only knowledge related to extraordinary power, but you have even taught yourself advanced mathematics. Voidology, theory of matter, and alchemy."
When Joshua said this, there was a hint of curiosity in his tone: "You spent almost more than a thousand contribution points specifically to hire the corresponding tutors to tutor you, and to buy books and experimental materials. This is ten times the amount for ordinary people. Years of consumption, and as far as I know, your life before was not rich."
"Why?"
When Joshua asked "why" in a calm tone, Priest couldn't help but lower his head, feeling a little uneasy. He didn't know why Joshua asked these questions. Whether he was happy or thought he was wasting his time, so Priest Te then said with some hesitation: "... It's what you said, Mr. Dean - knowledge is part of power. A country that separates scholars and warriors will only have cowardly souls and stupid wars."
He repeated the content of Joshua's speech at the end of the year before last, and then said with great seriousness: "I don't want to be a weak person... I want to be as strong as you, sir! So I think it is worth spending so many contribution points to learn. —I will not delay the mission of the External Exploration Department, I guarantee it!"
"Haha, I told you, there's no need to be so nervous."
Regarding the uneasy Priest, Joshua just smiled and shook his head. He looked with admiration at the young man in front of him who had tutored various subjects to a near-professional level in just half a year. Full of joy in discovering good seeds.
Even today's Mycroft world already has spells like memory enhancement and speed reading. But if you want to really integrate so much knowledge, it is definitely not enough to just hire a teacher and buy textbooks. You must also do it yourself. Think hard, digest the contents recorded in these books, and make it your own... And the little guy in front of you is a true genius who has taught himself in the gaps between various tasks and has been praised by several teachers.
This child...maybe really has the talent to become a strong person.
Thinking of this, Joshua couldn't help but recall many past memories, and he thought of the saints and saints.
Perhaps it was because of this appreciation that the original sages passed down so many inheritances.
But this is not important, because I am not imitating, but sincerely want to help these young people to see where they can stand in the future.
"I was originally thinking about whether I should move you to the academy for systematic study, but now it seems that it is not necessary."
The warrior nodded slightly and whispered: "But now it seems that the most suitable path for you is to let you study on your own and combine it with enough difficult practice. It's very good, Priest, so I plan to give you a chance."
The gray-haired young man subconsciously raised his head and looked directly into Joshua's eyes. And Joshua smiled and said to him: "There is no need to go to the exchange system of the Department of External Exploration. No matter what you want or what you want to learn, I can create and provide it for you. And I don't need you to pay anything. The additional price is only the redemption points and permissions I will reward you this time."
As he spoke, the warrior raised his right hand. In the palm of his hand, there was a silver ball of light that was slowly rotating, flowing with the brilliance of the power of steel. In this layer of faint brilliance, there were phantoms of all things. It flows, as if as long as the light flashes, it can turn into reality and appear in reality.
"Say it, don't be too greedy."
At this moment, Priest was stunned. He might have guessed that he would get some extra achievements, and he was optimistic about his rewards as a legendary strongman, but he never expected that what Joshua provided to him was actually is 'a wish'.
Let the legendary strongman Count Radcliffe realize a wish for himself - of course, the unbelievable request is naturally impossible to realize, but it is only a limited wish, so how can it be compared with mere reward points and redemption rights? If you put this kind of opportunity to the outside world, even the king would snatch it up. It is no exaggeration to say that it is worth a fortune.
And Joshua just looked at the stunned Priest. The warrior observed every move of this young man with great potential. He wanted to know what Priest would choose in such a good atmosphere.
"I've thought about it, sir."
After a long time, the gray-haired young man closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He opened his eyes and said firmly: "I want to get some knowledge... I want to learn something."
"Say it, Prester." Joshua naturally agreed happily. The silver ball of light in his palm rotated rapidly. This time, books appeared in the glorious illusion. The warrior raised his brows and said: "What do you want to learn?"
As for Priest, what he was thinking about at this moment was not himself, but his behind, his side, and his family who were not here but far away in Moldavia.
So he said softly:
"I want to learn absolute protection, my lord."
