"Sit down. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Just as Joshua was observing the list of Israel's characters, His Majesty the Emperor waved his hand and motioned for the warrior to find a place to sit down, while he himself returned to the armchair behind the desk, and then said slowly: "There are very few people who know about my assassination, Teacher Nostradamus is one, and Dimore probably understands a little, but Joshua, you are the first to see it yourself." ”

At this time, Israel was not like the past, full of the majesty of an overlord, at a glance, he seemed to be just a middle-aged warrior with dark blonde hair and a calm expression, without the momentum and majesty of a legendary powerhouse.

"Thanks, but no."

Turning his gaze away from the list of characters, Joshua, who had already understood a lot of things, did not intend to find a chair to sit down and chat slowly with His Majesty the Emperor in front of him, he shook his head, and then said simply: "The purpose of my coming to Morlai Palace is for your assassination, and other than that, it is all superfluous." ”

The warrior's actions were always so direct, and under Israel's somewhat disgruntled gaze, Joshua stood in place and began to narrate calmly: "Your Majesty, your assassination wound is probably due to the curse of the orc shaman decades ago, it is a cursed arrow containing shadow energy, it pierced into your lower back, although it did not penetrate the kidneys, but it was close to your spine. ”

"Awesome." Israel was originally a little displeased that Joshua did not listen to his kindness and spoke on his own, but after listening to this narrative, his eyes widened slightly, and he exclaimed in a low voice, "The analysis is not bad." ”

As if he didn't see the surprised expression of the emperor in front of him, the warrior continued to narrate.

"At that time, you should have been fighting the battlefield, so you ignored the curse and continued to urge the fighting spirit to fight the enemy." Speaking of this, Joshua shook his head and said with some regret: "The battle lasted for a long time, probably more than a day, and the cursed power that could have been easily expelled was assimilated with your power, and even penetrated into the essence of life, causing your life to continue to drain until now. ”

"This is indeed a dark wound that is difficult to heal, it is no longer a curse, but it has become a part of your life, if you want to heal it, you must sublimate the essence of life, but the legendary powerhouse has reached the extraordinary limit in the world of Microf, this is already the ultimate in a sense, and it is almost impossible to sublimate it."

Israel was about to speak, but saw Joshua groping in his arms, and then solemnly took out a small transparent crystal, his expression was so solemn that His Majesty the Emperor couldn't help but look at this crystal.

Without the slightest hesitation, Joshua directly put the crystal in his hand on Israel's desk, and he said in an unrelenting tone: "Unless ......"

"Unless, I take the first step towards the realm of gods."

Interrupting the warrior's words, Israel solemnly picked up the transparent crystal on the desk, the moment this crystal touched his finger, it immediately released a violent lightning-like energy, if it was an ordinary golden powerhouse, even if it was not careful, it would suffer a big loss, but how could the power of the legendary warrior be able to resist?

The moment he didn't even have time to breathe, the lightning energy turned into nothingness, and the crystals were also pinched in the hands of His Majesty the Emperor, who stared at this ordinary crystal, and said with emotion: "The first step is to condense divinity." ”

"This is a crystallization of restless divine power, and it should come from the one in the box of Erebos."

Putting the Divine Crystal aside, Israel was silent for a moment, then turned his head to look at Joshua, who was still expressionless, and whispered, "You could have kept it for yourself, or found a good time to sell it - it shouldn't have been so easy on my desk anyway." ”

"Why?"

With the strength of a legendary warrior, Israel is naturally able to parse the power of this restless divinity, so as to condense his own divine power little by little and sublimate his own life essence - this is more reliable than waiting for the agent of the god of life to come and perform a divine healing ritual for him, and it can also improve his strength.

But why? He was puzzled by this, Joshua solved the incident of the box of Erebos and accidentally obtained a piece of divine crystal, which was not surprising, but the warrior gave it to himself so generously, even if it was as bold as Israel, he couldn't help but feel ashamed.

"Why?" Repeating His Majesty the Emperor's doubts softly, Joshua's expression looked relaxed, and he said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are a legendary powerhouse, and it will take a lot of time for me to catch up with your strength." ”

After all, this is a real world, different from the previous life, there are no endless wild monsters and dungeons, in fact, if it weren't for the almost endless chaos army in the other world, the warrior might not be able to reach the extreme intention now, thinking of this, he shrugged his shoulders and said: "I want to fight with you for a real time, not just suppress the exchange of strength, if Your Majesty you die before then, I will be very sorry." ”

The death of Israel in his previous life was probably five or six years later, and now the times have changed by him, so Joshua also knows whether the other party's death will be advanced or delayed, but in any case, to reach the middle and high level of the legendary realm within five or six years, even he does not dare to exaggerate it so much.

"By the way, there are a few things to look out for."

Thinking of this, he also specially explained to Israel some dangers about divinity - as a unique power, the divinity of others can only be learned, but not imitated, the divinity of a person who likes to fight is completely different from the divinity of a person who loves peace, and the power that is perfect for one person is highly poisonous for another.

His Majesty the Emperor in the previous life should have also obtained this divine crystal, but he is still dead, I think I just didn't notice this, the divinity of the god of despair and luck is indeed a bit incompatible with an emperor like Israel, which definitely needs to be paid attention to.

"You've done me a great favor, Joshua."

After listening quietly to Joshua's explanation, Israel's expression gradually changed from cautious to euphoric, and then from euphoria to calm, he stood up and said to the warrior in a formal and serious tone; "This is also knowledge from the lineage of the sages?"

Without answering, Joshua's face was expressionless, and His Majesty the Emperor regarded it as a tacit acquiescence, and his gaze became a little emotional: "-For a long time, those who treated me could not even see the root cause of my injuries, and even if they did, they could not come up with an effective treatment plan - even if it was the Divine Healing Ritual of the Seven Gods, to be honest, it was just a dead horse as a live horse doctor. ”

"What do you want?"

Without too much nonsense, Israel stared into Joshua's eyes and said directly: "The demonic incident, the box of Erebos, and my injuries, you have helped me a lot, and I have not given you the reward you deserve, but now it cannot be delayed, say, warrior, as long as it is not too much, the empire can fulfill all your wishes." ”

"What you want?"

Slightly stunned, Joshua really hadn't thought about it so much: "It's really hard to say." ”

The reason why he came to treat Israel is very simple, it is the one he said before, he doesn't want such a strong man to die so early, and he doesn't even have the opportunity to fight, maybe the warrior also thought of reserving a legendary-level combat power for the future Abyss Battle, but that priority is relatively low.

So what exactly does he want? Territory, title, money, Joshua doesn't care about any of them, glory, the opportunity to fight, extraordinary materials that can make you stronger, these are more reliable.

But the warrior thought that these things did not need to be given or rewarded by others, and that he could get them himself, and this time Joshua decided to go to the Far South for these reasons

Some people want to be the strongest, just like a man wants to conquer everything, and an eagle wants to fly higher, it's an instinct.

And he didn't have those obsessions, Joshua didn't care about the title of being the strongest, of course, whoever wants to be the strongest must fight him once - but this is no longer related to wishes.

"Come to think of it, I don't really want anything."

After thinking for a long time, Joshua frowned, and was a little surprised to find that he lived like a Puritan, but the warrior himself had no desires, which did not mean that the others around him were like this: "However, Your Majesty, do you know how to strengthen the divine machine?" ”

The tone of his words was very sincere, with a hint of urgency.

Hotaru and Rin, these two children accompanied him all the way to fight, they were loyal, and they also helped the warriors a lot on weekdays, without them, Joshua couldn't imagine the appearance of handling the internal affairs of the territory by himself, but even so, the warriors understood that they were already a little unable to keep up with their own strength.

The Divine Machine is a weapon made by the Radcliffe family against the chaos monsters of the famine evil god lineage, and the strength of the Radcliffe family masters in the past generations, even if it is combined with the power of order inherited through the ages, is only the level of the golden midstream.

And Joshua, who has reached the realm of extreme intention, although the divine machine designed for gold-level battles has some self-strengthening functions, the improvement is far less than the progress of the warriors.

One day, Hotaru and Rin will definitely not be able to keep up with him, and Joshua's heart can't help but flutter slightly at the thought of the young girl's discouraged look because she can't follow her in battle.

"Strengthen the Divine Machine? It's a bit difficult. ”

Repeating a sentence with some doubts, Israel pondered for a moment, and then said with a smile: "But for the Empire, it is nothing more than spending a little more time, compared to Radcliffe's contributions, it is simply not worth mentioning - it just so happens that you are going to the Far South now, I can instruct the people below to prepare, and when you return from the Far South, the materials and manpower to strengthen the divine machine should be ready." ”

After saying that, he frowned and said, "That's all? Joshua, this is just a matter of strengthening two weapons, and you don't have anything else you want? ”

“…… The Wintercastle Academy in my territory lacks a knight teacher. ”

Also frowning, Joshua, who had been thinking for a long time, finally found another thing he probably needed: "The teacher of the warrior and the ranger, they say that they have found the right person, but the knight instructor is not so easy to find. ”

Israel shook his head slightly: "This requirement is simpler than the previous one - the knights of the five major legions, whether active or retired, can be selected as long as you need them, and they will definitely not refuse your request." ”

Originally, His Majesty the Emperor wanted to continue to ask the warriors what they needed, but he also found that for people like Joshua, he preferred to get the 'things he needed' himself, so he had to give up.

After determining some details of strengthening the magic machine and selecting the actual instructor, Joshua said goodbye like this, he has always been so direct, and he did not hesitate to leave after achieving his goal.

And Israel sat in the armchair behind the desk, looking at the divine crystal in his hand, his face expressionless, not knowing what he was thinking.

"What a careless young man."

Holding the crystals in his hands tightly, His Majesty the Emperor whispered to himself, "I haven't seen such a pure desire to fight for a long time. ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but think of the eyes that Qiao Sia had inadvertently revealed from the corners of his eyes when he was thinking about his own wishes.

It was like the most ferocious beast, bloodthirsty and full of dangerous eyes.

"Think of me as the prey you're going to hunt in the future? That's what he wants? Challenge the strong, keep challenging the strong. ”

Not angry at all, Israel smiled excitedly: "That's why he came to tell me the cure, so that I don't die before he can challenge - it doesn't matter, rather, with this courage, I am thousands and hundreds of times stronger than the group of sons who have been waiting for me to die, so that they are true warriors, always looking ahead, never flinching, and disdainful of hiding their thoughts." ”

But after laughing, his gaze gradually deepened again.

"It's because it's so pure that it's so dangerous."

At this, Israel couldn't help but fall silent.

Suppose Joshua has no territory and is not a nobleman of the empire.

He had no people to take care of, no gods to care about, no friends to care about, no subordinates, nothing to bind him...... What kind of existence would Joshua, such a pure struggle, grow freely on the continent, become?

If he hadn't died in battle, and had grown stronger and stronger, marching all the way to the end of the world, to the top of the sky, what a terrible being would he be?

Pure pursuit of fighting, and such a talent......

He will bring everything to ruin in battle.

"But it's okay, he's still alone."

Putting away the divine crystals in his hand, Israel picked up the book on the desk again, he turned his head to look in the direction Joshua left, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly: "A human with a leader, a friend, a divine machine, and something worth caring about. ”

Speaking of this, His Majesty the Emperor's expression was suddenly stunned, and he seemed to have thought of a good idea: "In this case, just give him that thing directly." ”

"Come to think of it, he's going to like it."
