"You say. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Standing in a corner of the hall outside the palace vault, a silver-haired girl turned her head sideways and said to her brother in a bit of confusion, "What will our future hold?" ”

"Even if you ask me......"

After being silent for a while, the black-haired boy replied lightly: "I don't know either." ”

- This conversation took place before Joshua came out of the vault.

Tucking her shoulder-length black hair back her head, Rin certainly knew what her sister was thinking right now.

It is nothing more than the discovery that as the master becomes stronger and stronger, they are used less and less as weapons.

This is indeed a very bad thing, even he has to admit it, the black-haired boy has long known that his master, the warrior named Joshua, has reached the point where every move is a killing weapon, he can tear steel with his bare hands, wrestle with demons, even if it is a dragon, he can only bow down.

His body is armor, his fingers are spears, his fists are hammers, and his palms are knives.

Most of the time, this kind of existence uses weapons just because it has a handful of them...... Maybe taking care of her and her sister's emotions, Rin also knows that the master still cares about their feelings.

But in any case, if a weapon is reduced to the point of being 'used just for use', it is no different from being placed, and its own meaning is lost, and Ying is troubled by this.

However, Rin agrees, but has a different opinion.

"It doesn't matter what the future holds."

The black-haired young man stared at his sister's green pupils and said seriously, "As long as you can follow your master, is there any difference between being a god machine or a human being?" ”

He chuckled and said, "The master has always treated us as human beings, and there is no need to worry about an identity. ”

"But we were made, we were created, just to fight, to make the master fight better!"

The silver-haired girl was still very entangled, she looked down at her white hands, there was a faint fluorescence floating on them, after thinking for a while, Ying turned her head a little dazed, she said softly: "I also want to do nothing, just follow the master, whether it is used or placed, it is the duty of the weapon, but maybe you are right......"

The girl's voice was soft, and could only be faintly heard by Rin beside her: "Since the master has always regarded us as humans, and has also given us human-like wishes, I ...... Maybe not to be used, but to be needed......"

This older sister ......

Rin couldn't help but shake her head.

Maybe it was determined to be an abandoned product at the beginning, because it was selected by the owner by accident, resulting in some inferiority in her heart, although Ying looked like there was nothing wrong with her appearance, but she was always a little unconfident, worried about whether she would be left behind, not needed.

"Well, aren't you being needed right now?"

Taking a step forward, the black-haired boy simply gave his sister a hug, and he smiled and whispered in the ear of the silver-haired girl: "Just as I will help the master with government affairs, and you will help the master with household chores, we have always been needed - so there is no need to worry so much." ”

"There's a lot we can do, and it's not just weapons."

- When Joshua came out of the vault, everything was back to normal.

The group walked in the corridor of the palace, it was almost midnight at this time, Joshua and the others were ready to go back to Radcliffe's house to rest in the property of the imperial capital, Alfonso had already prepared a feast, but it seemed that this dinner was probably not going to become breakfast, as for Brandon and Nostradamus, there were still some things, the swordsman had to go back to the Mage Guild laboratory to sort out some items, and the old mage needed to go to the scene where the demon appeared to investigate.

"Remember to go back to Moldova often."

Arriving at the gate of the Morlay Palace, under the awe-inspiring eyes of the guards, Joshua said goodbye to Brandon and Nostradamus, and the old mage disappeared with a teleportation, and as the swordsman left, the warrior smiled at him and said, "Verdani and your two daughters miss you very much. ”

"Definitely, though, Joshua."

Nodding seriously, the blonde swordsman looked very serious, but then, he showed a teasing smile: "You're so old, now, you should almost find a lord's wife, right?" ”

"Haha."

Smiled and shook his head, just as Qiao Shuya was about to respond, Ying on the side suddenly sighed, and then took out the communicator placed on her waist, and the girl said with some doubts: "Who, why ...... at this time?"

This is a rectangular metal instrument that the warriors asked the magic professors of Wintercastle Academy to customize, engraved with a two-way communication circle, this magic prop can communicate over long distances without delay, but, although the distance of the link is very long, it can not be used because it can only fix two points of communication, and Joshua generally uses this thing to communicate with the territory when he is in the field.

And it's late at night, and if it weren't for a big deal, it stands to reason that the territory wouldn't be in contact with him right now.

"Give it to me."

Taking the communicator from Ying's hand, Joshua turned it on with a frown.

Brandon and the Divine Siblings on the side watched as the warrior and the person on the other side of the communicator identified each other, and then began to talk about business, Joshua's expression was serious at first, then shocked, then annoyed, and then gradually calmed down: "Okay, I see, thank you very much, Loranda, this matter has nothing to do with you, no need to blame yourself." ”

"It's okay, I'll come back to deal with this matter...... It's not a big problem, the celebration banquet is not just one day, it doesn't matter if you don't participate, I have already met His Majesty the Emperor. ”

"Understood, you stabilize the surrounding situation, deal with the environment, and I'll go right away."

As he spoke, he turned off the communication circle, his face expressionless.

"What's wrong, friend."

And Brandon looked at the warrior's somewhat darkened face, and couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Something is wrong with the territory?" ”

He could vaguely hear what seemed to be going on in the territory, and it was a bit serious, and it needed to be made for Joshua to return quickly.

"It's nothing, Brandon, it's just a trifle."

Handing the communicator back to Hotaru's hand, Joshua sneered, a dangerous glint flashing in his eyes: "The family's mount is disobedient and runs around and causes some trouble. ”

――To put it clearly, look at the teleportation array, don't move around, but you still ran over! It didn't take my words to heart!

At the thought of this, the warrior's face turned even colder: "I'll go back and teach it a lesson." ”

Irgena World, the next afternoon.

Under the guidance of Professor Nelson, Black and a heavily armed armored army arrived at Port Sapphire, the largest coastal port in Babbel Province.

Sapphire Harbor is a large port located on the northeast coast of the Gulf Federation, it is strategically located, born to be a deep-water port, years of artificial transformation has made its cargo throughput reach a terrible level, in addition, Sapphire Harbor is beautiful, due to the perennial windless, calm sea water in the sun like a jewel, which is also the origin of its name.

The reason why the black belt was brought to Sapphire Harbor was because the capital of Babbel Province could not provide the food and housing requirements of such a behemoth, and because of the eruption of Mount Sigmar, hundreds of thousands of refugees had wandered between the many cities of the province, and the capital was the most numerous.

With the thriving national strength of the Gulf Federation, there is no problem in providing food, clothing, shelter and transportation for refugees, and there is even room to hold a carnival to enhance the atmosphere, but the existence of such a huge half-dragon is different, although black is very close to the elves, but let it walk at will I don't know how many cowards Longwei will scare to death, and the food of a dragon on weekdays is not what a city that does not produce food can provide, not to mention that according to the judgment of researchers, the half-dragon is an aquatic species, although it may live in magma or high-temperature hot springs, But sea water is clearly more suitable for it than land.

Moreover, there is a lot of food in the sea, which can make the pressure on food even less, even if the black does not want to hunt, the port is more convenient to transport food than the inland.

On the way to Sapphire Harbor, Professor Nelson, who was sitting on the top of the armored car, never gave up communicating with Black, and he even asked his students to take out the language research materials of the People of the Plains that he had treasured for many years, and corrected his pronunciation problems as much as possible, but the nature of Black was not very high.

Because it always felt a chill spinning back and forth on its spine, as if it was being targeted by some extremely terrifying existence, and the half-dragon, now as an ancient dragon bloodline, rarely felt this kind of danger.

What's going on? It was a little uneasy, even if the elf old man beside him had been talking about something, Hei didn't pay too much attention to it, this kind of cold was too terrifying, making the limbs of this half-dragon a little weak.

And while the white-haired elf professor was chattering about the horses, the team finally arrived on a hill on the outskirts of Sapphire Harbor, from where they could overlook the scenery of the harbor in the distance.

But the elves in the team, no matter who they were, couldn't help but be so shocked that they couldn't help but be speechless when they saw the scene in front of them.

Because, the sea is turning red.

In the harbor, there is a commotion, and I don't know if it happened a long time ago, or not long ago, under the illumination of the afternoon sun, the sea of gems in the distance, which was originally blue, is becoming turbid at a speed visible to the naked eye, and countless black mud and putrid accumulated on the bottom of the sea are washed up by an inexplicable force, dyeing the sea within a radius of dozens of kilometers with a strange black and red.

And as the sea became more and more turbid, everyone smelled a strange smell, a familiar smell, a bit like sulfur, mixed with the stench of dead fish that is common in port cities, which was a bit like ......

"Roar!"

Black reacted suddenly, it immediately turned its head and looked at Professor Nelson, the half-dragon roared several times, as if he was saying something, but the old elf couldn't understand a word, and in his anxiety, he suddenly understood something.

"This smell is very similar to the smell of the Volcanic Dragon...... Sulfur, lava, volcano...... Volcano?! ”

Looking in astonishment at the source of the reddening sea in the distance, where countless dead fish were emerging, churning, and seeming to be boiling, Nelson had a worst guess in his mind.

"Could it be that there is an undersea volcano?!"
