Brandon, who ran over with him, witnessed all this, he looked at Joshua, who was obviously in a very bad mood, and calmly comforted: "Joshua, don't be anxious, this is probably the automatic upgrade function of the gods, which is a good thing." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Although the blonde swordsman didn't know much about the divine machine, he could at least see that Hotaru's breath was stable, and there was no danger in sleeping this time.

"Really? Just an upgrade? ”

Joshua repeated, his eyes still worried, and he said with some uneasy: "Although I didn't pay much attention to it before, but now that I think about it, it is indeed some very strange things......

Hotaru's lethargy is not a recent occurrence, since the destruction of the space-time gate, the two of them returned from Moldova, she has been a little tired, and the family horse is also a bit strange, often unusually irritable, although every time he passes back to calm, but it is true that he will suddenly become restless.

Not only that, but Joshua himself has been a little depressed recently and doesn't feel very comfortable......

Beside him, Brandon was still reminiscing, he thought for a moment, and then explained to the warrior: "Generally speaking, the level of the divine machine is the same as that of the master, but Hotaru is only a mid-to-high-level silver, but you already have gold...... Wait, you're at the Gold Level?! ”

As he was speaking, Brandon carefully observed the aura emanating from Joshua's body, and then gasped suddenly, and suddenly he didn't have the calm demeanor he had before, but said a little gaffe: "When you fought me before, you were just a golden mid-level!" No, I remember three months ago, when you were still in the Crow Legion, you were only at the Silver High Rank! ”

"Yes."

Poked the little face of the god girl, and after Qiao Shuya was sure that Hotaru had fallen asleep and had almost no reaction to the outside world, he replied casually: "The seven gods are above, probably because of the blessing of the gods, I suddenly had a little comprehension after fighting with you, and then I advanced." ”

Fart! This is no longer something that can be explained by a blessing! Even the contracted divine machine can't keep up with the ascension speed of this guy, which god are you reincarnated!

Hearing this reason, Brandon's expression distorted, and the whole person had nothing to say, and he suddenly had a sense of urgency from the bottom of his heart - this monster in front of him took three months to advance from silver to gold high, could it be that he would be able to achieve extreme intention next year and reach the level of legend the year after next?

At this rate, it's not impossible!

You know, even His Majesty the Emperor only ascended to the legendary throne at the age of forty-seven, and how old was Joshua in the next year? Is it half the size of an emperor? Even if it takes a little more time, you can expect to be a legend before the age of thirty! And if you don't work hard, won't you, the so-called genius, be completely thrown behind?

This is something that the swordsman thinks too much.

Joshua's crazy increase in level is based on the fact that there are enough monsters for him to kill. And as his level further increases, the required experience and monster level will also get higher and higher, if it weren't for the fact that there happened to be a black tide recently and several golden monsters were also gifted, plus the special effect of the Chaos Warden's passive skill [Burning Evil Radiance] that increased the experience of Chaos monsters by 30%, the warrior is now just the beginning of gold.

Picking Hotaru up in a princess position, Joshua felt that the girl in his arms was lightweight—at least lighter than her greatsword form, and still small—and also smaller than her greatsword form, and he was a little uncomfortable with this.

Whether it is the form of a giant sword comparable to a door panel, or the burly body of a warrior, Hotaru's figure is too petite and slender in comparison.

"Do I usually fight with wielding this little girl and slaughtering demonic beasts? What child abuse. ”

After imagining it for a moment, and then couldn't help but be amused by the thought of himself, Joshua's mood was a little better. Although he was a little worried, it was a good thing that Hotaru could level up anyway, he thought so.

"Let's go, let's go back to the main city first."

Joshua turned his head and beckoned Brandon, now he really can't do anything in the snow, it is better to go back and settle Hotaru as soon as possible, after all, the warrior does not know how to heal, although his life profession is blacksmith, but thinking with his knees, he also knows that the blacksmith's craft must be nothing to do with Hotaru's alchemy life, it is better to let her regulate herself.

"Okay."

After receiving a brief reply from the blonde swordsman, the two of them simply walked towards the main city not far away.

And the old mage above the city was still in shock.

"Extremely ......"

Taking a deep look at the two people who were walking towards the main city, Nostradamus muttered to himself, "That fluctuation just now is indeed extremely meaningful! ”

Before, he didn't react when he noticed that Qiao Shuya had advanced to the Golden High Rank, and it was precisely because of this [Extreme Intent] that the old mage's originally relaxed expression became solemn: "If the strength can be explained by talent, but the Extreme Intent, a realm that takes time to precipitate and accumulate, there is no shortcut, and it can't be fake!" ”

But this is a paradox, how did a twenty-three-year-old young man have such a deep foundation and give birth to extreme intentions?

After hesitating in the sky for a while, the old mage decided not to visit the new count of Moldavia for the time being, but to seal the space-time gate first.

And then—he's going to spend all the rest of his time observing how this guy got to the Extreme!

And in the snowfield in front of the city walls.

Joshua suddenly stopped, he looked around, and said with some confusion: "I just felt that someone was peeping...... It was the same when I fought before. ”

Brandon looked up at the sky and said to himself, "Indeed, I am aware of it...... But there was nothing around or in the sky. ”

The two of them didn't take this kind of trivial matter seriously, even if someone really peeped at it, with the strength of the two of them, even if they were injured a little because of the battle between each other, it was not something that ordinary gold-level people could deal with.

Stepping through frost and frozen soil, walking through hills and snowfields, the main city finally appeared in front of Joshua's eyes, the black city wall was like a giant lying between the wind and snow, covering half of the vision, and the soldiers defending the city also noticed the arrival of their lord early, they opened the city gate in advance, and went out to greet him.

Crossing the streets all the way, Joshua didn't go too fast for fear of bumps, and by the time he arrived at Beppu in the west of the city, it was already twenty minutes later.

"The Lord's Mansion was destroyed in the battle to reclaim my title, and this is the temporary Beppu."

Entering the mansion, Joshua explained to Brandon, who had a puzzled expression, and then he turned his head sideways and instructed the maids and maids around him: "Take this distinguished guest to the bathroom and prepare a fitting dress for him...... Get me one too. ”

"Yes, sir."

After the blonde swordsman was taken away, the warrior walked up the stairs with Hotaru in his arms and went to the bedroom on the second floor.

Since Joshua usually doesn't sleep, even if he rests, he closes his eyes in the study for a few hours, and Hotaru, as a divine machine, basically doesn't need to rest, so the bedrooms of the two are like brand new, and there is no trace of human habitation. He casually lifted the leather cushion covering the bed, and then stuffed the silver-haired girl inside, so that Joshua could be considered to have Hotaru settled.

The humanoid psionic body of the god machine is not contaminated with dust, and has the function of automatic cleaning, so the warrior is not worried about other problems, he covers the leather cushion, and suddenly Hotaru only has one head exposed, the girl's face is slightly red, and her breathing is steady, as if she does not know that she is stuffed into the bed like this.

"It's weird, it feels like taking care of my daughter with a fever...... I've never been married, I've always been single. ”

Looking at Hotaru's face, Joshua froze for a moment, then laughed, the warrior shook his head, he stood up, ready to take a shower and change his clothes.

Time always passes quickly.

Brandon took his leave in the evening and left for the imperial capital, and more than a week later, a caravan from Moldova also arrived in the main city, and the respectful merchants and Verdani's messengers sent the bones of the black dragon, the exoskeleton of the dragon hunting spider, and many monster materials, all of whom showed the greatest respect and worship for Joshua, and some even tried to give up their family property and only become a squire knight under the warriors, but Joshua simply refused him.

The days of being a lord can be boring, especially in the winter when the snow is falling. In this season, when it was so cold that it would freeze when he exhaled, Joshua could not farm or pull out his troops for training, and he could only listen to the cold wind howling between the towers and the city walls, and watch the Black Forest in the distance gradually come back to life, and the ice and snow piled up in the city, and then swept away by the residents.

The bitter cold wind gradually subsided, the bitter cold gradually warmed, and time passed like breath, and another month passed.

However, Hotaru hasn't woken up yet. (To be continued.) )
