[-For the flame snakes, there is nothing more worthy of follow-up than fire. It is an imitation of an ancient relic, from among the wind-swept sand dunes of the Shimmering Desert. 】

With four magic effects, it's really an extraordinary-level magic item!

"Hmm...... A good thing indeed. ”

This is indeed an extraordinary item that is enough to change the combat power of the Golden Tier. Joshua picked up the ruby ring and put it in the palm of his hand to look at it, a red golden light flashed in the center of the gem on the twenty-four sides, and he nodded with satisfaction: "The snake eye can make a mage's dynamic vision keep up with the movement of a high-level warrior, the fire is immune to fire spells, and the summoning of the fire element python and the flame barrier can greatly increase the survivability and combat effectiveness, and Verdani really took out the good things of the bottom box, full of sincerity." ”

It would be better if the style of the ring was not women's. He thought with some regret.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ If you're satisfied, it's fine. ”

Brandon, who had just opened his mouth to explain the effect of the ring, was shut again by the warrior's words.

You haven't identified it yet, how do you know the effect of this ring?

He looked at Joshua in front of him with some depression, who obviously didn't know any magic, sighed, and then said: "Actually, it's not just this, Dani She has prepared more thank-you gifts, but Moldova is still resting, and it is estimated that it will take a month or two to wait...... Now I'm going to return to the Imperial Capital as soon as possible, send back the Abyss tokens you gave me, and report on the Plane Gate by the way. ”

After speaking, Brandon smiled: "If you have the opportunity to come to the imperial capital, let me know in advance, Lord Radcliffe, the Kaos family will always welcome your arrival." ”

"There's definitely going to be a chance."

Joshua thought of his family's store in the imperial capital, and the corners of his mouth curled, revealing a sneer: "Maybe I'll go there soon...... But friend, are you sure you're going to leave now? In this embarrassment. ”

The blonde swordsman looked down at his body, his body covered in bruises from the punches of the warrior's fists, and his chest was torn to pieces, and blood spurted from his damaged muscles and capillaries, staining half of his body red.

It's not what it looks like to be able to rush.

"That's right, then I'll go to your city to rest."

Shrugging his shoulders, Brandon smiled helplessly: "As long as you don't refuse." ”

"I'm afraid you don't want to."

While talking and laughing, the two walked towards the small hill where Ying was before.

But this time it was a little strange that the silver-haired girl did not come to greet her master, and in the eyes of the warriors, Hotaru sat in the distance among the snow, leaning against a gray-white rock, motionless.

"Hotaru!"

Joshua said loudly to the silver-haired girl sitting in the middle of the hill, "It's time to go." ”

No response.

"What's wrong?"

Feeling a little confused, Joshua frowned and walked quickly towards the hill.

Passing through the snow-covered ice fields and walking up the hill halfway up the hill, the warrior saw the figure of his own divine machine.

Hotaru, who was clearly in a state that was not right, was now sitting on the ground, half-nestled next to a gray rock, her face flushed, and even her neck and collarbone had a noticeable redness. The girl clasped her arms with both hands, as if she was trembling, her green eyes flashed with a blurred light, and she felt as if her consciousness had been detached from her body.

"Hotaru? What happened to you? ”

Joshua immediately ran to the girl's side, he held Hotaru's petite body, and then he noticed an inexplicable heat coming from the depths of her body, this high cold melted the ice and snow around her, and the snow water had already wet the girl's clothes and long skirt, revealing the shape of her slender waist and legs.

Sensing the arrival of the warrior, Hotaru blinked her eyes softly, her long eyelashes fluttered, and then whispered in a soft voice, "Master...... I'm feeling a little uncomfortable......"

"What's the discomfort?"

Joshua, who didn't know what was going on, had a very serious expression, and he asked in as soft a voice as he could, "Your body is heating up......"

"No ......"

The girl felt that the core of her body was shaking rapidly, emitting powerful energy one after another, she gasped softly, and then said: "I didn't know what was going on before, but a sudden surge of power came from the contract with the master...... Woo...... My god machine core center is still running, and it's so fast......"

Hotaru turned her head to look at Joshua, her snow-white skin showing an unusual flush in the gloomy light, and her emerald green eyes had some moisture in them, looking foggy: "Master, there is too much energy released...... I don't know where it came from, it's too much, and it's so uncomfortable in my body......"

"Don't worry, it's only temporary."

I couldn't say anything at all, the warrior was really not a comforting guy, his brain was working, a line flashed clearly in his mind, and he immediately guessed the reason for the abnormality of the god girl.

He upgraded.

Indeed, nodding, Joshua's brows furrowed again, because of the divine machine contract with Hotaru, the power between the two of them can transfer amplification to each other, and the divine machine LV2 has strengthened this amplification ability a lot...... Moreover, the gods themselves also have the ability to upgrade, as an alchemy weapon life against chaotic creatures, they have the ability to kill Aragami chaos monsters to increase their own strength.

But Joshua's upgrade was too fast, and when he hit the beast tide and killed the dragon hunting spider, he instantly rose to 10 levels, and then killed the black dragon, hunted the Ice Tooth Dragon and defeated Brandon to advance to the golden high level, which was the last straw that crushed Hotaru.

Too much power flowed from his body to at least the woman's body, making her a little unloaded.

"Dizziness, so hot......"

Hotaru's voice is getting lower and lower, and she now speaks with a fluttering feeling: "Feeling, I'm going to have some changes, master...... A little sleepy ......."

Sighing, Joshua held his weapon in his arms, the girl's light body was still hot, he frowned and said, "It's okay, just sleep, I said, if you are tired, you have to rest." ”

"Hmm...... Thank you ......."

With the permission of the warrior, Hotaru fell asleep with a faint smile.

"Hotaru?"

Joshua tried to scream twice, and found that the girl had indeed fallen into a deep sleep, and could not be woken up by sound alone, and her little head slept very peacefully.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Taking a deep breath, Joshua frowned, he looked at the girl's quiet sleeping face and the flush on his face, and felt that his previous good mood was all gone.
