Chapter 16:-for-tat

After dealing with the patrol mercenaries at the gate of Sanjo Street and the Lord's Mansion, Joshua slammed open the closed gate with a punch without the slightest scruples, and walked with Hotaru in the front garden of the Lord's Mansion.

"The man didn't die."

Following his master closely, Hotaru looked a little puzzled and asked, "Don't you kill it?" ”

"I don't kill people who can't resist...... I feel hypocritical when I say this. ”

While observing his surroundings, Joshua replied, he didn't seem to care about such a trivial matter: "A mercenary, if he doesn't die, he doesn't die, and he doesn't need to mend the knife." ”

"What do you mean by mending?"

"It's to give the last knife to the person who didn't die, so that he will die completely."

"So mercenaries ......"

"A soldier who takes the money."

This simple question-and-answer has continued since she walked out of the catacombs of the church, and although Hotaru has some basic knowledge of common sense, she knows nothing about certain situations and vocabulary, especially the vocabulary of the newborns, and Joshua thinks that her information package needs to be updated urgently, at least a few hundred years behind the times.

Fortunately, although his Miss Shenji looks relatively cold, she is a very curious guy, and she is very interested in everything around her, and it must not take long to fully adapt to this world.

Turning a corner, they came to the right path that led to the mansion.

The Lord's Mansion is equivalent to a city within a city, with the outermost layer being the walled gate, then a small garden and woodland, and the most central building for people.

Since Joshua's steps were relatively large, Hotaru could only trot to avoid being pulled away, and she looked at the surrounding scenery and said to herself, "Uncle Fan lives in this place?" ”

"Do you know Fan?" Hearing the interesting words, Joshua suddenly turned his head to look at Hotaru, a little surprised.

"Yes, he often goes over to give us maintenance." Speaking of what she knew, the corners of Hotaru's mouth curled, and she recalled: "About once every two weeks, master, you also know that the concoction of the divine machine is very troublesome......"

"No, I don't know, I only recently learned about the fact that I have a magic machine."

"Yes...... Yes. Stunned for a moment, Hotaru didn't expect that his contractor even knew about his existence recently, and he looked a little shocked: "This, after all, there are so many divine machines left over from the past in the sealing blade room, and someone must maintain them, and the previous lord always seems to be very busy, and maintenance is Uncle Fan's job." ”

"I see." Joshua nodded, and then asked, "But listening to what you said, is it possible that the room under the cemetery of the church is full of divine machines?" ”

He originally thought that there were only two yes, and the others were ordinary swords, but you know, there were hundreds of weapons there.

"Yes, all of them."

Hotaru nodded and said: "In order to ensure the best resonance, each contractor will have two or three divine machines to choose from, because most of the contractors in the past cannot bear the load caused by multiple divine machines, so only the one with the highest synchronization rate can be selected, and the others can only be sealed."

As she spoke, her brows moved slightly, and she seemed to be a little puzzled: "In order to optimize, the core of each divine machine is made of a part of the contractor's body, my core is a part of your right wrist bone, and my younger brother is the left hand, it is strange to say, originally he and you have a higher synchronization rate than me, why did you choose me this time......

(The giant axe?) It's a very familiar feeling...... It seems that it should be a slight change caused by soul fusion, which caused the synchronization rate to change, and heck, I'm really a little sorry. οΌ‰

Guessed the reason, but Joshua would not be stupid enough to say it, listening to Hotaru's words, he couldn't help but have a new question: "In this way, the divine machine left in the sealing room is also conscious, and after such a long seal, don't you and them feel pain?" ”

"Will it?"

Hotaru didn't care, although she looked like a fifteen-year-old girl, but now she spoke very indifferently, a pair of firefly green pupils were extremely cold: "Pain, loneliness, is a feeling that only human beings have, a weapon only when it is held, it has its meaning of existence, if you don't need it, then wait, seal it in the sheath, until the day it is unsheathed." ”

"It's cold."

"Because the heart is made of iron."

Unconsciously, the two of them talked about a cold joke, Joshua and Hotaru came to the main gate of the lord's mansion, the warrior looked up at this small castle, and the huge wooden gate like the city gate, after careful observation for a while, he nodded and said: "It seems that I changed the magic door after I left, the energy fluctuations are very complicated, and it is a little difficult to open, but it is not troublesome." ”

"Do you know how to do magic, master?" Hearing this, Hotaru said curiously.

"No, I'm just used to it."

After speaking, Joshua stretched out his fist, his eyes reflecting the thirty-seven energy nodes in the gate that had been reinforced by magic over and over again, comparable to the thirty-seven energy nodes in the gate made of pure steel, and the flow law and effect of magic energy could be easily seen through.

As he said - the Might and Magic Gate, he used to unload not a thousand but eight hundred, and he was used to it when he dismantled it early.

In that case, it's a punch!

"Bang !!!"

The air was twisted into a strange shape, and then there was a loud bang, but the moment before the sound reached his ears, Joshua's right fist had literally slammed into the door, sending a violent wind that swept away the gravel and dust on the ground.

At the same time, with the breathing method that had been used countless times, the power contained in the depths of the body rose again, and the red light poured into the door, under the control of the legendary warrior, these fighting qi were dispersed into countless parts, and they turned into a small knife to tear through the magic energy route in the door, completely destroying the magic array that supported the door.

Everything happens in a second.

Joshua slowly withdrew his fist, and a gust of wind blew, and the door in front of him turned to rotten ashes, slowly drifting into the air, and only a few pieces fell to the ground.

【Extreme Will: Collapse】

Originally, the combat skills that could only be used by gold-level powerhouses were used so casually by a silver warrior, which is the biggest benefit brought by the legendary warrior [Extreme Intention].

"It's better to have a real pure steel door, which is more tricky for me."

Stepping into the lord's mansion, Joshua turned his head sideways and asked Hotaru to follow: "Wait for a tough battle, it's time for you to show your skills, come on." ”

"Yes, master."

=====================================

"Boom!"

A loud bang resounded throughout the city center.

It was like a battering ram bombarding a city gate, a low and violent roar.

Even in the halls of the Lord's House of Moldavia, this voice can be heard.

Danlia was originally pondering, but was interrupted by a loud noise, he turned his head to look in the direction where the sound came from, frowned and asked, "What's going on?" Is there something going on outside? ”

The sound was so close that it didn't seem right to him.

"I'll take a look."

A shield-wielding mercenary standing behind him was about to leave to check on the situation, but was stopped by Danya: "No, you stay, let Nar go first." ”

The middle-aged man naturally had his own thoughts, he said: "Francis and the patrol are outside, if there is an accident, they will go to see first, you are walking too slowly, it is better to stay here to protect me, Nar is a ranger, he is the most suitable." ”

"You're right."

The mercenary nodded and stepped back, while the archer, known as Nar, stepped out, gave a slight gesture and ran towards the place where the sound came from.

"Strange, could it be that the snow crushed a house? But this is the Northland, every house has been specially reinforced, and this year's snow is not heavy, how can it be crushed. ”

Standing up, Danya felt that this roar was unnatural, he had seen the siege of the city and the collapse of the house, and the sound just now was not very similar to the two......

"Boom !!"

There was another loud bang, as low as the sound, and much more intense than the last time, if the last time the sound source was only relatively close, then this time, it was downstairs!

"What the hell, what's going on?!"

Not only the roar, but even the tables and chairs were trembling slightly, like a small earthquake, Danlia was not only surprised, but also his brain was running rapidly: "There was a roar not far away before, and there was an accident downstairs not long after, the two must be connected - yes, there is an intruder, he killed the patrol and Francis, and after blasting open the gate, he directly attacked the lord's mansion!" ”

"Joshua! That's right, it's definitely him! He actually raided at this time, but how could it be? ”

Shocked, Danlia was remorseful, he should have reacted earlier, but he didn't expect that Joshua would actually come to the door so directly and without any reason-the current lord's mansion, but there are more than twenty silver-level warriors guarding it, how dare he?!

Danlia, who was thinking logically in a normal person, couldn't guess Joshua's thoughts at this time, he felt that his nephew didn't behead him at the first time, and he would definitely lurk for a while, and then carry out a surprise attack when the time was right, but he never expected that when the Lord's Mansion was at its most heavily guarded, this guy actually did it directly!

"Rondo, Lowen, you two go too!"

Quickly gave the order, and the middle-aged man said decisively: "Call those guards and mercenaries together, and say it's my order!" ”

"Yes!"

The remaining two high-ranking silver mercenaries replied loudly, and then they stepped on heavy steps and ran downstairs.

"Dare to come over alone...... Joshua, my stupid nephew, wait for the mercenaries and knights patrolling the city to come over, and the inside and outside will be your death! ”
