Chapter 24: The Omen
"Here we go again. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
With his right hand stretched out and pressed his chest, the Azure Orb pendant was emitting heat like a flame in his chest, and Joshua said to himself with some strange words: "I have often had this reaction recently, but why?" β
In fact, this kind of anomaly of the Burning Steel Fragments and the Azure Orb was not once or twice, and since he had returned from the bottom of the lake in the Nissière Mountains, there had been this sudden heat every few days.
The scorching heat seemed to suddenly ignite a flame in its chest, it didn't burn anything, but it could sense the pulse of a powerful force of order.
Although it is very strange, there are no clues and no warning of this matter, even if you look at the empire and the entire Mycrof continent, there is nothing worth mentioning, and Joshua can't find the cause of the orb mutation, so he can only go with it.
You know, there's a lot he's been working on lately.
Whether it is the visiting group of Wilson's house who is preparing to visit, or the paladin who doesn't know when he will come, these need to be prepared in advance, and he can't lose face as a local lord, and the Winter Castle Academy that cooperates with Nostradamus also needs to be cared for, not to mention the huge palm print lake under the academy, he has been exploring with the old mage a lot recently, and he has found some clues, but if there is any breakthrough, there is no breakthrough.
The training of knights and the study of the Book of Ebonn can't be stopped, and there is still Hei who is still advancing - this guy is really slow to advance, and Joshua has concocted a bloodline awakening potion, and it refuses to drink it, it seems that it is not the same at all, the warrior simply left it to Ying to take care of it, let it sleep slowly, anyway, there is no need to fight on horseback recently.
To be honest, as the lord of a land, Joshua still has a lot of official business to do in addition to his daily non-stop exercise, and even with Rin's help, he can't be idle.
Since there is no clue to the abnormal movement of the Azure Orb, and it is not serious, it can only be suppressed for the time being, and when there is time, it will be dealt with slowly one by one.
At this time, the family of four on the opposite side of Orion was already preparing to leave, and the man who was the father had a lot of leather on him, and a huge package in his hand, which should be full of materials for beasts. He must have come to the city to do business, and by the way, he brought the children to see the world.
Only then did Joshua focus his attention and observe for a moment, and then, he found that the opponent's strength was actually close to the silver level, and it seemed that he was about to break through.
"There is no inheritance, less than thirty years old, relying on hunting, and now he has the strength close to the silver level, which is quite potential."
Slightly surprised, then the warrior shook his head with some regret and said: "It's a pity, if this kind of talent is cultivated from a young age, maybe he can reach the peak of silver now, and he can try to break through gold in the future, and he is a good knight seedling." β
Those who can break through gold, even if it is just possible, are considered talents, and those who can definitely break through gold and challenge extreme intentions are geniuses.
"Thank you, Lord Lord!"
Before leaving, the two boys and girls, who seemed to be brother and sister, trotted over at the signal of their parents, thanked Joshua happily, and then trotted all the way back to their parents.
They looked very happy to be able to touch and see such a precious thing today, even if they could show off it to their friends in the future.
Joshua was in a good mood, and replied: "It's nothing, go back quickly, your parents are in a hurry." β
He smiled.
Today's test of the Magic Armor was perfect, and all the functions worked as they should. As long as he waits, further refinement and modification, and the design of a few more battle-related rune circuits, then the battle armor that belongs to him will be released soon.
Of course, all of this needs to be assisted by No. 3, otherwise, the blueprints of the next set of armor will probably wait a few months before they appear, and such progress is not something that Joshua can accept.
On the side, Ying and Rin were talking softly.
"Brother, brother, you say, does the master like the younger ones?"
The silver-haired girl said with a serious face, and a rare solemn look appeared in her green eyes: "I said how is it different from before, there has been no hostess for so long, you know, when Mr. Fan was just awakened, the previous generation of hostesses had already appeared." β
"Master, he doesn't usually smile so happily!" Miss Shenji emphasized.
"Sister, you don't understand the master at all."
Ignoring his sister's obviously unreliable imagination, the black-haired young man said lightly: "Obviously, the master is so happy because he wants to have a new armor, and he knows that he will definitely laugh more cheerfully when he fights in the future." β
ββ¦β¦ Isn't that what humans call a fetish......"
"It's so far away - wait for my sister! Where do you know these bad words? β
"Alright, you two, stop chatting over there."
Behind him, Joshua's voice suddenly appeared: "I, Master Moria, still have No. 3, and I am going to continue to make further improvements to the magic energy armor, and strive to find a replacement product for the magic energy core, this high-purity magic crystal is too expensive...... You go back to the lord's palace and prepare an afternoon meal or something. β
When they were caught talking behind their backs, the two gods were immediately startled, but after hearing their master's instructions, they immediately replied: "Yes! β
And the hunter's family of four also walked to the trade area near the city center.
In the Mycrof continent, the vast majority of hunters hunt in autumn when the prey is at its fattest, spend the winter with the help of the meat of the prey, and then tann the leather and send it to the big city to sell in the early spring, and this hunter is no exception.
As Joshua saw, his current strength can already be regarded as silver-level, as long as he cultivates his body that was lost due to too hard work in the past, he will definitely be able to advance to silver before the next winter.
And a silver-level hunter, in the future, he will not only hunt simple beasts such as armored deer and big wild boar, but can try to hunt some low-level magical beasts, in this way, his two children will have money to be better cultivated, and maybe they can be stronger than his father.
-- Maybe you can send your son to the lord's hand and become a knight's servant.
Thinking of the future, the hunter couldn't help but smile hopefully.
After selling the leather, he took his wife and children and returned to a small town near the forest in northern Moldavia.
Unlike the Black Forest, ordinary forests can't gather so much magic power, and naturally there is no way to breed many magical beasts, in this forest, the most are all kinds of deer and wild boars, and occasionally you can see a few winter wolves, if you don't say those big monsters that may exist, but no one has ever seen them, then the big boar king is the most powerful monster in this forest.
These towns, which relied on hunting and gathering herbs and potions from the forest, were many throughout the empire, especially in areas close to the mountains, and because there was no suitable place to farm, they had to fight wild beasts to obtain rations.
After sending their wives and children home to settle down, the hunters who had already prepared them packed their tools and prepared to go to the mountains for their first hunt since this spring.
"This should be my last hunt before I become Silver...... Be sure to take down a big game and celebrate. β
He thought so, and just like that, he walked into the dense woods of the Northlands.
