Chapter 65: It's Time to Go
When she said this, there was a slight banter in No. 3's eyes, she didn't really want any help or gifts, just to see how Joshua would react in this situation, but what she didn't expect, after thinking for a while, the warrior actually nodded seriously.
"I do have something to give you, but it's not me who helps you, it's you who help me."
Joshua crouched down and pressed face to face 3 so that he could have a secret and smooth conversation with the AI girl, his expression was serious, but his tone was sincere: "Come to think of it, maybe you're the only one who can help me with this." ”
"That'...... Let's talk about it. Faced with the warrior who suddenly approached and had such a serious expression, No. 3 took a step back uneasily, her tone a little flustered: "What's the matter with you...... Need my help? ”
"You can't talk about this thing."
Seeing No. 3 agree, Joshua laughed, and then, he reached out and pressed on the seemingly illusory magic projection of the artificial intelligence, the silver light flashed, and the light flowed with the veins of the magic, and the warrior's palm seemed to touch the entity: "All in all, please." ”
And the eyes of No. 3 who were held above his head had a large number of pale blue magic runes flickering, and endless data waterfalls flashed from them, after a while, Joshua took his hand away, his face was slightly pale, and No. 3's expression was even more painful, she whispered a few times in pain, and then looked at the warrior with incredible eyes: "Joshua, you- what are you trying to do?!" She seemed to want to continue, but was stopped by the warrior's eyes.
"Experimenting with a possibility can be regarded as preparing for the future."
In response to No. 3's questioning, Joshua just smiled and didn't say anything more, he stood up, looked up at the flashing pyroxene lamp in the center of the corridor on the second floor of the lord's mansion, and his expression was calm, as if nothing had happened: "This matter is a secret between you and me, it's best not to tell anyone...... I'm sure you can help me. ”
“…… Since you've said so, I'd have acted as if nothing had happened. When the artificial intelligence girl heard this, she could only bow her head slightly unwillingly, and she murmured softly: "But...... In this case...... Why should that? I'm sure things won't get to that point! ”
"Nothing absolute, Number Three." Joshua stood and began to walk towards the other side of the Lord's Palace, and at the same time replied earnestly to the number 3 who followed him: "Anything is possible. ”
"And if you want to win, you need to win against the worst."
======
On the edge of the Great Ajax Mountains, a dwarven colony.
Deep in the earth, the dwarven city is in full swing at this time.
Thousands of sturdy dwarves trampled on the flat ground in the natural caverns underground, and sturdy roads paved with magic mud and stone radiated from the center of the city to every corner of the gathering place, and one of the roads ended at the foot of a large stepped building. The trapezoidal pyramid is topped by a chimney-like nozzle that gushes out as if materialized magic and vapour at all times, and its foundation sinks deep into the earth, drawing on the power of lava to power the massive machinery within.
The Colossal Iron Giant First was digging the foundations across the street from the factory, and it knew what the building in front of it was for: it was the second-generation Rune Magic Factory, built in response to the arrival of the Great Demon Tide. Compared to the first-generation Magic Energy Factory, it is not only capable of producing general-purpose magic equipment such as Magic Armor, but also some of the core components of large floating warships. The first number knew that the Northland Rune Dwarves had recently received a large order from the Imperial military, but the production capacity was slightly insufficient, so he commissioned himself to dig the foundation of the second rune factory.
"How? Hatsuno, if you're feeling tired, take a break! ”
Before digging the huge crater caused by the foundation, Tania, the leader of the new generation of Northland Dwarves, touched his long dark yellow beard and the brass ring on it, and shouted, "We're not in a hurry!" ”
"Zizi."
No, you don't. I don't get tired from just physical exercise. The First replied honestly, and it continued to work, but it was clear that the dwarf on the side could not understand what the steel elemental was saying, and could only shrug helplessly.
The steel element, like the usual elemental life, relies on absorbing the magical elements in the surrounding atmosphere to sustain its life, and all kinds of rare metals are actually just delicious snacks for the first number, providing it with materials for transformation. Now that it's located around the Magic Factory, the excess mana from the factory alone makes it very comfortable, and the First feels that the dwarves are already very good to themselves, they don't need any extra light, and they are willing to contribute to this group of sincere people.
But at this moment, the first one's thinking suddenly stopped for a moment, and the huge steel creature suddenly put down the work in his hand, and then stood up straight and looked into the distance, the steel element felt as if it had been struck by lightning, and a large amount of electricity flowed up and down its body, and with it, a huge message came out of thin air with a strange connection that it could not yet perceive.
"What's wrong?! The first number?! ”
Tania had already turned back with his guards and was about to leave, after all, he had just taken over the power from his father, the old dwarf Moria, he was very busy, in addition to visiting the first number, he also needed to inspect the factories located in various places in the gathering place, but now after seeing the sudden strange situation on the steel element, Tania immediately ignored the guards' obstruction, came to the edge of the foundation pit, and nervously asked the first number who had just disappeared from the current on his body: "Are you okay?" What happened just now? ”
At this time, Tania's heart was full of nervousness, in addition to sincere worries, there were also practical factors. You must know that the First is not only a source of living metal regarded as a treasure by the rune dwarven craftsmen at this time, but also an important labor force for large-scale projects, its most important identity is the legendary lord's subordinates - the Northland Dwarves are just entrusted by him to take care of the other party, and even the order for the floating battleship is also brought by the other party, if something goes wrong with the First One, he, the new leader, may have to step down!
"Wait, I'll call the great craftsmen right away and they'll come and see!" Thinking of this, Tania immediately made a decision in his heart, and he immediately turned around and prepared to set off to find a few great craftsmen who knew a lot about the first body, that is, the great people who had gone deep into the elemental world and knew all the alien life in detail. But before the young dwarf could take a few steps, a familiar but unfamiliar voice appeared behind him.
"Nourish...... No need, I'm fine, Tania. ”
Hearing his name, the dwarf slowly turned his head in shock, and what he saw was a scene of a huge steel element bowing its head slightly and staring at him, and the first horn seemed to continue with a hint of a smile: "Human language pronunciation...... Multiply...... I learned, it's my father...... The power of power! ”
The slight disturbance caused by the dwarven gathering place due to the sudden learning of the lingua franca quickly subsided, and most people were not surprised by this, after all, most of the adult elite elemental creatures have the wisdom to learn languages, and the elemental elders have the ability to think no less than the human elites, and the first horn as a steel element, although the race is peculiar, but it is obvious that it has considerable intelligence, and it is not a strange thing to suddenly learn a language.
Only some of the higher-ups would remember the visions that had occurred before the first horn learned the language, and the father in his mouth.
Count Radcliffe, has he mastered any new powers? This seemingly unimportant gossip spreads in the shadows, and then collects it by a few well-intentioned people, who dutifully compile it with a lot of information related to the legendary earl, and finally report it to their masters.
"The ability to give wisdom? Hatsuna's wisdom was originally there, but now he has learned to speak. ”
Imperial capital, the royal study of Morlay Palace, Israel shook his head, put aside the report in front of him, he sighed and said: "Nash, you don't need to collect information about Radcliffe every day, if you want to know his power, you can go directly to the door and ask in my name, just say that for the stability of the empire, I need to know how far his power has reached." I know him, ask so directly, and he will tell you, just as he asked me, and I will tell him - there is no need for sneaky concealment between the strong, and there is no room for conspiracy under the power of legend. ”
"The power of the Shadows should not be gathered in the Northlands, that is pointless, you should pay attention to the rotten nobles in the southeast. And I'm sure Radcliffe already knows about your little moves, and the reason why he didn't have a single hand to kill all of you worms who peeped into his secrets was simply because he was willing to follow order and didn't want to kill my men indiscriminately. ”
"Yes...... Yes, Your Majesty! ”
Hearing Israel's words, the black-clothed and black-armored warrior who knelt on one knee was suddenly sweating profusely, and after being awakened, he immediately knew how dangerous it was to spy on the news of a legendary powerhouse, if the other party was a little dissatisfied with the imperial family because of this, then it would be difficult for him to atone for his sins even if he died, but fortunately, Count Radcliffe was broad-minded and did not care about him.
However, it is difficult to blame him for this, after all, the purpose of the existence of the Shadow is to gather information on all existences that may pose a threat to the Empire, and who will be more threatening than a legendary powerhouse? It was a natural instinct to be wary of those who were too powerful, so after a moment of silence, Israel did not punish his loyal subordinate too much.
"Nash Washad, you were once a bloody warrior on the battlefield, and it was my fault that you spent so long in a gloomy place like the Shadows."
He stood up from the large chair behind his desk and walked over to the samurai, and Israel said slowly, "You can't get a good end by working in that kind of place...... In a few years, when you are handed over, you will come to me as the captain of the personal guard. ”
Hearing this, Nash, who was originally low in his heart, raised his head suddenly, he glanced at Israel in surprise, and then immediately noticed his disrespect, and then lowered his head deeply, and said with great gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" ”
If you are an ordinary person, you must find it strange, as the most important central intelligence agency of a country, the position of the Shadow is no less than that of the ordinary army commander's deputy, and the mere fact that he can meet the emperor at any time is better than many other important positions, Nash stepped down from this position, and then became a mere captain of the guard, no matter how he thought about it, his status was greatly reduced, how could he be so happy? But in reality, it's quite different.
As Israel said, the head of the Shadow Department will never die well, the great nobles who have been peeped into the secret will go to great lengths to get rid of this damn bastard who knows most of their scandals, they have so many means that even Nash can't say that they can avoid them all, Israel is willing to make him a personal guard, which means that this kind of retaliatory assassination will never happen, no nobleman will be stupid enough to attack a legendary emperor Ming Bao's person, plus after becoming a personal guard, Nash is very likely to get the guidance of the legendary powerhouse, It is very likely that you will reach Jiyi in the future. In the transcendent world, this is the power of scheming over all gold and silver treasures.
"Okay, you're not laid off yet."
Kicking the warrior who had been following him since the Orc Wars in a bit of annoyance, Israel paused, then said, "But you're right, he must have learned something...... Nash, go and call for the rule of Dimore and Avar. ”
"Tell them it's time to go."
