Chapter 12 I always feel that I can upgrade by drawing my sword
Joshua stared at the strange tattoo that suddenly appeared on his right hand, and he always felt as if he had seen it somewhere.
Flipping through the memories of the past in his brain, it didn't take long for him to remember.
"Fan ......" muttered to himself, Joshua's gaze seemed to cross the distance, just when he met the old butler not long ago, he had carefully looked at the old man's aging hands, and on the back of Fan's hand, there was also a different, but very similar tattoo!
"At that time, I was too concerned about all the irrational aging and didn't pay attention to other aspects."
Although the source of the familiarity was found, it did not help the current situation, and Joshua touched the tattoo on the back of his hand in confusion, but did not know why it appeared and what was the meaning.
"Joshua, what's wrong with you?"
The previous series of abnormal movements actually happened in a few seconds, Chris and Nolan only saw Joshua suddenly press his wrist, and then let out a muffled snort, and did not notice the abnormal movement of the magic power, they hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "You were injured in the previous battle?" ”
"No, not really." Shaking his head in reply, Joshua moved his wrist and felt in good condition, the previous burst of burning and cooling sensations were all fake, except for an extra tattoo, he did not leave any sequelae, and his combat effectiveness was not weakened.
"If you're not in a good state, don't force it, I have a secret safe house in the city where I can rest quietly."
Still a little worried about Joshua's state, Nolan, as a silver-level stalker, has much stronger observation than Chris, an alchemist, she can see that the warrior in front of her has some doubts in her heart, and the previous muffled snort is not false, in order to show sincerity, Nolan said seriously: "I only need to wait for a day, I can mobilize people to provide you with a complete set of armor and weapons, and after that, whether it is to attack and kill Danlia while my eldest brother is not there or do other things, there is a basic guarantee." ”
But Joshua was stunned.
It wasn't because he was going to agree to Nolan's offer, although the gray-haired stalker's idea was good and reasonable, he wasn't going to do it, he was stunned because of another thing.
Just as Nolan said the word 'weapon', the tattoo on the back of Joshua's hand suddenly became hot for a moment, and he suddenly remembered something very important!
"That's right! It's not just the tattoo on the back of the old butler's hand, it's the Radcliffe family crest like this! ”
Too common to be overlooked, Joshua pulled out a pocket watch that he had kept in his lined pocket, on which the hour showed that it was half past six in the morning, and more importantly on its back, which had a carved coat of arms of great detail.
One hand raises a sword, and the serpent entangles the two together like chains.
"It's exactly the same...... "Joshua is not in a hurry to go to the lord's mansion now, he lowered his eyebrows, looked at his family's coat of arms, and began to ponder: "Is there any meaning - wait! ”
What happened recently was pierced by a thread, and Joshua's eyes widened, and he suddenly said, "I see! ”
"Where I once said, 'Qualifications are not some illusory title, but real things,' and although this tattoo is not an object, it is something that I did not have."
The logic was gradually sorted out, and he didn't care about Chris and Nolan who looked inexplicable next to him, and said to himself: "If you don't know that I already know that he is a divine machine, then it is easy to deduce that the weapons on this tattoo represent divine machines, and the hand holding them on the family crest is the head of the family in the past, that is, the person with qualifications!" ”
"The so-called qualification is to hold a divine machine!"
The logic is very clear and simple, as long as you know enough information, even a child can figure it out, but after all, Joshua hasn't traveled for a long time, and he can't recall it so carefully, so it took so long, but before he could be happy, the tattoo on the back of his hand once again appeared fiery strange.
Unlike the previous pain, this time it was at most a soaking in warm water, but it was somewhat comfortable, and apart from the warm feeling, Joshua felt that in the dark, the tattoo seemed to be guiding him somewhere.
(I don't know where I put it, but you should know.) )
The words that the old butler had said echoed in his mind, and Joshua nodded slightly: "Indeed, I should know ......"
Taking a deep breath, and then exhaling, the white mist brought by the warm water vapor gradually dissipated in the windless alley, Joshua's face returned to calm, he turned his head to look at Chris, and said in an irrefutable tone: "You, follow Nolan to the safe house." ”
Then, he faced the gray-haired girl and said, "You take him away, and besides, which rank is your brother gold?" ”
Nolan was taken aback by Joshua's tone, she thought that the warrior in front of her was about to turn her face and make a move, but she didn't expect that she just wanted her to take someone to the safe house and ask for information, so she immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "No problem, as for my eldest brother, he is naturally a golden beginner, he is only twenty-nine years old, and he has just broken through, how can it be an intermediate level." ”
"That's no problem." Joshua nodded, and then walked out of the alley without the slightest hesitation: "Now, you just need to stay well, and you can hear the good news tomorrow, especially you, Nolan, I am very interested in the vein behind you, and there may be opportunities for cooperation in the future." ”
“…… Be! ”
Although they still wanted to dissuade him, they didn't know how to speak, and Joshua's actions were too fast, so the two had to open their mouths to respond, watching him quickly leave and disappear into the street.
After leaving the alley, the warrior did not pause, half an hour had passed since he broke through the city gate and met Chris, the Silent Warrior and Nolan, according to experience, so much time was enough time for the enemy's main force to retreat, and now they were probably searching near the city gate and the lord's mansion, and it was not so fast to launch a large-scale search of the whole city.
Now that he has lost the opportunity to attack directly, Joshua is not in a hurry, he is ready to follow the guidance of the tattoo on the back of his hand to see what the situation is.
The main city of Moldavia is his hometown, where he grew up and lived for more than ten years, from residential areas to forges, from commercial streets to barracks, every inch of the land here is familiar to Joshua.
Skirting several blocks of military footsteps, Joshua walked down alleys and shortcuts, quickly heading toward the target the tattoo had guided.
"It's almost there." The sensation of fire in his wrist was getting stronger, and Joshua had come to the western end of the city, next to a church.
Behind the church, there is a large cemetery, with iron railings that prevent ordinary people from entering, but allow people to see the towering tombstones.
This is a cemetery for warriors.
Not everyone can be buried in the backyard of the church, and only the warriors who fought against monsters, monsters and Kuroshio in order to protect the city can be buried here in the prayers of the city residents, and the reason why the cemetery is enclosed with iron railings instead of bricks and stones, is to let everyone see these warriors who died for everyone.
[Glory belongs to the warriors who have fulfilled their duties, and they are buried here.] 】
At the door of the church stands a stone monument on which the words are poured with molten iron.
Nodding slightly in respect, Joshua walked briskly into it.
It's a Gothic church, with a tall spire and a dilapidated bell tower, but the gate is still sturdy, open the door, and when you step inside, Joshua doesn't find the priests and nuns, which is normal, because there is a larger church in the center of the city, where the priests basically live, and there are a few tomb keepers who have been left behind, and they must have been driven away by Danlia.
And Danlia's group of people didn't even have enough people to patrol the city, so how could they send people to garrison this somewhat old church?
"The feeling of guidance on the back of the hand is gone, and it seems that this is the destination"
