After talking to Joshua and Dimore, Nostradamus walked quickly into the main hall, and after he entered the door, the old mage waved his hand, and the door of the main hall slammed shut in a burst of blue light, and the patrolling guards wanted to step forward to stop it, but when they saw who was doing it, they all scratched their heads and retreated in embarrassment. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"With this move, it seems that our Chief Mage has discovered some big news."

An old man with gray hair, dressed in a formal suit, and wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, leaned on a silver carved cane, and calmly said to a young man who was supporting him beside him: "There will definitely be a meeting tomorrow to discuss, you should prepare in advance." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

Similar conversations appeared in the corridor in a row among the crowd that had not yet dispersed, and Nostradamus's hurried steps and slightly rude actions seemed to be a signal, which made everyone feel an unusual atmosphere, not only the old man with glasses who was a judge of the royal court, but also the diplomatic envoys of other countries also noticed that something was wrong, and they communicated and analyzed with their companions.

But after all, the meeting was over, and some people seemed to have some other plans, so they ignored the accident and left according to the original plan, while some people didn't go far because they didn't have anything urgent later, most of them were ministers of the empire, and these people who were familiar with the old mage were ready to wait for Nostradamus to appear again in the reception hall on the other side, and they were ready to ask about the situation and get first-hand information.

Thanks to the old mage's actions, everyone's attention was not on Joshua, except for Robzek, no one deliberately paid attention to the group of warriors standing quietly on the side, of course, there were exceptions, a middle-aged nobleman in a fancy costume, and several attendants on his side obviously knew Dimore and Joshua, the nobleman frowned, as if he couldn't understand why the two appeared at the same time.

(Dimore and Earl Radcliffe together?) Has this guy completely entered the core of the royal faction? ）

The middle-aged man thought so, but he didn't say much, but left silently, and when he left, he also instructed his entourage not to talk too much.

"Chancellor of the Exchequer Condia, my mother's friend, a wise man."

The second prince looked at the back of the middle-aged man leaving, and his tone was a little regretful: "It's a pity that he has no talent, just an ordinary person, but it is precisely because he is an ordinary person that he can sit in the position of Minister of Finance." ”

"Except for the Chancellor of the Exchequer, no one else seems to know you."

Standing around the corner of the hallway, Joshua looked around and asked; "As the second prince, why are you so obscure?"

The effect of the misty pocket watch is still good, and most of the attention here is not on him, which makes the warrior very satisfied, Atanis has indeed given him a good thing, and Joshua feels that he must return the gift next time.

On the side, Di Moore also replied: "It's normal that they don't know me, and I rarely live in the imperial capital." ”

"Since I was a child, I was sent by my father to the mountains of the western realm to practice with a reclusive sword saint, and after the coming-of-age ceremony, I have been fighting back and forth in the Southern Fortress and the Orc Battlefield in the Northwest Plains."

It seems that because of the defeat by Joshua, the second prince's attitude has softened a lot, and his tone is not as arrogant as before, he said in a low voice: "Father means that after the orcs are extinct and the empire is completely stabilized, I will think about the matter of the successor, during this period, I don't need to show up, I just need to do my best to increase my strength, and by the way, it is enough to learn some politics, management and interpersonal relations." ”

-- Let the children who are not gifted enough show their faces to attract the attention of the hidden enemy, and let the descendants with real potential secretly sharpen their minions?

Very simple idea, but also useful. Joshua naturally knew why Israel had made such a decision.

Although the empire is large, there are also many enemies, and there have been no fewer assassinations against the royal family, and the thousands of Praetorian guards in the Morlay Palace patrol back and forth to protect those who may infiltrate the assassins, but even so, it is not safe, whether it is a curse or other methods, in this world with extraordinary powers, there are always various ways to kill a descendant of the royal family who has not yet grown up.

There are only two ways to deal with it, one is to wait for these future heirs to become strong and be able to deal with all kinds of assassinations themselves, and the other is to hide their identities and send them to the outside world, which is dangerous, but in fact it is safer than the seemingly impregnable palace.

Israel's method of cultivating Dimore is obviously a mixture of the two, and the effect is indeed good, as later generations have proved this, Dimore is undoubtedly a qualified emperor, and his strength is not inferior to his father.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and only the guards and some scattered people were left in the corridor, and Joshua did not find such a wait boring, and after making sure that the people around him were indeed almost gone, he closed his eyes and began to breathe rhythmically.

Seeing this, Ying and Rin on the side stepped forward in surprise, standing in front of the warrior to guard, and their actions were very numerous, and they seemed to do this often. And Dimore was a little surprised when he saw that this game was thick, he didn't expect that the other party would actually start his own breathing exercises in this place.

(Exercising all the time, no wonder he was so strong, so young, and arrived at Jiyi.) )

Dimore was originally so emotional, but while observing Joshua's breathing and the rhythm of the ups and downs of the energy around him, he couldn't help frowning and feeling a little strange.

The warrior didn't care about the observation of others, but just absorbed the energy around him and slowly strengthened his physique.

The effect of the extreme will of force is of no use for direct combat, and the meaning of its existence is that [every exercise has a reward], and [every effort has a reward].

Although it may sound like a big deal, in reality, there may be no return on exercise, there may be no results in hard work, and when you are older, the old injuries of your youth appear, and exercise can even damage your body, at most, to keep your strength the same, let alone become stronger.

But the extreme intention is the strength obtained after surpassing the limit, Joshua's physique has been completely changed now, as long as he exercises, his body will become stronger all the time, although the amplitude is not large, but there will definitely be a reward, in this case, the warrior will naturally not waste every trace of time.

As the breathing continued, Joshua's breath became more and more gentle, but the wind around him was not, and the free energy swirled and poured into his body, soaking his muscles, and then down the blood vessels, to the heart, and then to the whole body.

Blood, muscles, bones, and internal organs are all resonating slightly with the breath, pulsating, and fighting qi is like an electric current, constantly stimulating and strengthening every part of the body, and in the process, although some of the energy overflows, but still part of it is integrated into Joshua's body and becomes a part of his power.

And the most bizarre is the warrior's bones, in the process of energy overflow, his bones faintly appear a series of black and red strange lines, this pattern is straight, simple revealed a burst of majestic majesty, vaguely, Joshua seems to have produced a dim brilliance from the inside out, this pattern spontaneously absorbs the surrounding energy, enriches itself, and makes the bones and surrounding visceral muscles tougher, and transforms the flesh little by little.

In the eyes of outsiders, everything was as usual, except that a breeze appeared out of thin air in the corridor, rushing in the direction of Joshua, and the guards who were patrolling did not notice this slight change in the air, and the other outsiders also felt it slightly, thinking that it was a small breeze blowing from the other side of the corridor.

Only Dimore noticed this, but he didn't know why, and his face was strange.

When Joshua finished this short practice, he lowered his head and began to ponder.

"It's not right......"

Dimore muttered to himself in a deep voice, his tone full of doubt, and in order not to attract the attention of others, he deliberately lowered his voice, as if he was just muttering, "It shouldn't be like this......"

"Why shouldn't it be?"

Moving his body, his muscles working, and making a creaking sound like twisting steel bars, Joshua turned his head, looked at the second prince with interest, and asked, "You might as well say it." ”

From the young Dimore, the warrior can see a trace of the future Iron and Blood Emperor, this contrast makes Joshua feel quite amused, just like in the future, Dimore will never speak in such a skeptical tone, his words and deeds are full of confidence and certainty, even if it is wrong, it seems to be the truth.

“…… You shouldn't have that power. ”

Hearing the warrior's words, the second prince seemed to have made up his mind, and simply said his thoughts: "It's strange, it's very strange." ”

"Oh? Why? What's weird? ”

Hearing Dimore's words, Joshua didn't care, he nodded slightly, asked the somewhat angry Ying and Rin not to speak, and motioned for the other party to continue: "You don't look like someone who starts complaining when you lose. ”

"No, I have no complaints about losing to you, but when I see your breathing method, I feel wrong."

Raising his head, Dimore's brows furrowed slightly, and his grayish-brown eyes revealed a suspicion: "Joshua Van Radcliffe, the first time I saw this name, I knew it when my father was looking through the books about the Guardian family, at that time, you were already in the spotlight as the next generation of Guardians of the Sealed Land, I remember that this was probably last year, when you were only silver mid-level, or high-level, in short, you haven't touched the golden barrier yet." ”

Ying and Rin glanced at each other, and the silver-haired girl nodded slightly, she clearly knew that when she had just met her master, the warrior was only a silver high-level.

"And I got to that point in just one year. This makes you feel weird. ”

Joshua didn't have any emotions about the other party's suspicions, he still said in a calm tone, even with a hint of a smile: "It's true that there can't be someone in this world who advances faster than me, but hasn't this reason been found out a long time ago?" You should know that too. ”

"The Inheritance of the Sages - My Father and Master Nostradamus told me so, and I thought so at first, and I still feel sorry in my heart, you are just a lucky person who has received the inheritance of the sages."

Dimore's words were simple and direct, and he seemed to know that people like warriors would not be angry because of such words, so he frankly expressed his opinion: "But after the previous discussion in the library, I changed my opinion-you are not the lucky one, your strength comes from self-tempering and penance, every bit is solid, without the slightest flaw, I can't even shake it, but it is precisely because of this, I can be sure that you have not received the inheritance of the sages at all." ”

Hearing this, Joshua raised his eyebrows, and the second prince's reasoning continued.

"I met Brandon Kaos, another sage inheritor, whose breathing and power come from the twin blades of his waist, and whose breath and actions have an aura of divine order that is like nothing, this is the true sage's lineage."

When he said this, he remained calm, his tone was calm, and there was no trembling, just recounting his thoughts and discoveries: "And you, although you have the power of order in your body, but that thing is just hanging on your body, even I can see that it is not integrated with you at all-Joshua, even if you have the inheritance of the sages, you have not obtained it. ”

"Awesome."

Nodding slightly, Qiao Shuya was really a little surprised this time, he didn't expect that the observation of this second prince could be so meticulous, and he really saw a lot of things: "What else did you see?" ”

"I can see it...... Your talent is not good. The progress of your one-time breathing cultivation is not fast, it is just the level of ordinary talent, no matter how hard you practice, if you don't take the potion, it stands to reason that you should not achieve gold before the age of thirty, even if you get the power inheritance of the guardian family, it is impossible to rise to the middle level of gold. ”

Speaking of this, Dimore's doubts completely exploded, there was a great conflict between his inference and reality, but he couldn't find the reason: "This is impossible, you don't have the sage inheritance of cultivation, and your fighting spirit and qualifications have not improved, these things can't be changed by hard work, but why can you reach the realm of extreme intention?" The power is also so solid? I was even wondering if you had made a deal with a demon, but then I thought, what demon can give such power? It's just so weird! ”

"Okay, Dimore, don't be excited, you're right, the sage's inheritance did not give me any breathing method, nor did it improve my qualifications, even if it is the power of order, it is probably only because I have the Azure Orb that hangs on my body."

Being questioned like this, Joshua was not annoyed, and even reassured the other party in turn, and only after Dimore calmed down did he say lightly: "But you are a little wrong, Second Prince, you are thinking about the wrong fighting spirit, and the strength of you and me as warriors." ”

"What essence?" Dimore immediately asked in a low voice.

"Do you remember what the root of vindictiveness was in the ancient lingua franca?"

Joshua asked rhetorically, but instead of waiting for the other party to answer, he said to himself, "Potestasofpugna...... The power of battle, life is derived from steel, it is characterized by plundering each other, the essence of life is this, and so is power. ”

"Why do I have such great power, you ask? It's very simple, it's like a person who keeps eating and then gets stronger, I just keep fighting, killing enemies, so I get stronger. ”

Hearing this, Dimore's expression began to change, and at first he seemed to be in disbelief, but then he thought of something and became thoughtful.

"In ancient times, there was no vindictiveness, no breathing method, and everyone even exercised differently."

But Joshua didn't care about the other party's expression, he just said his words calmly, clearly and seriously, "At that time, the ancestors of the human race relied on hunting demonic beasts and plundering their life force to make themselves stronger...... Talent? Inheritance? That kind of thing is just a shortcut for latecomers to follow in the footsteps of the former, and if you want to get the most real and unique power, you have to fight, to plunder, to kill the enemy. ”

Speaking of this, Joshua's figure was instantly covered by shadows in Dimore's eyes, and he subconsciously turned his head sideways, the second prince did not dare to look directly at each other, but every word that the warrior said clearly came into his ears, and the tone of these words was undoubted, as if he was narrating the truth of the world.

"There is no truth that you can become a strong person by cultivating at home."

"But I ......"

Dimore seemed to be arguing, he was also a person who had lived in the Northwest Battlefield since he was a child and had experienced dozens of wars, but the soldier shook his head and interrupted: "It is precisely because you are stronger than others, not as strong as me, just because you have not killed as much as me." ”

“…… Is that so? ”

The momentum of the second prince had been completely overwhelmed by Joshua, and he immediately closed his mouth, not asking, his expression was distressed, as if he was thinking about what Joshua said, and at the same time muttered to himself: "I haven't fought enough?" ”

The warrior was no longer paying attention to the other party, he looked at the system on his retina, where there was a list detailing his attributes, and the warrior skipped the meaningless things and looked at the top number.

【Joshua Van Radcliffe】

[Level: LV54・Extreme Intention Beginner (Force)]

LV, level, in the game of the previous life, is a numerical value that measures the degree of strength of a person, although it cannot indicate absolute combat effectiveness, but it is also an important index.

But there is another way to say it.

LevelofViolence, Kill Index.

"This is the Continent of Microf."

Standing around the corner of the corridor, Joshua raised his head and looked at the ceiling, and he whispered, "The world is full of strife, either killed or killed. ”

Only fighting is the truth.

He had long understood that in this world of fire and steel, life and power could plunder each other, bathed in dragon blood, one could gain dragon power, slay demons, and gain terrifying magic.

The human sages who lived in this world have long been aware of the essence of this world - battle and the death of enemies are the source of strength, and there is no room for warmth here, and players in previous lives have actually understood that the so-called monster killing upgrade is just a simple embodiment of the essence of this world.

Talent is not important, inheritance is not important, cowards nested at home can never become strong, only out of the house, away from home, to explore, explore, and fight powerful enemies around the world, in order to sublimate their lives.

That's what a fighter is.

And as a warrior, all he needs to do is to sweep away all the enemies that stand in front of him, whether the other party is an evil god, chaos, famine or plague, he will kick the opponent into the trash can of time one by one.

That's all.
