Chapter 11 Is it a disease to be so vigorous in intrigue?
The dark gray long-haired female stalker did not deliberately hide her appearance, it was a slightly gloomy girl's face, not very old, the leather armor covering the upper body was stained with light powder, looking a little embarrassed, it seemed that she was surprised by the discovery of the perfect stealth, and she was a little nervous, so in the face of Joshua's inquiry, she just subconsciously nervously said: "Where is the smell on my body?!" β
ββ¦β¦ Answer my question! β
"Ahh Reacting to what she said, embarrassed, the female stalker immediately understood the current situation, she looked at the warrior in front of her with a cold face and a terrifying aura all over her body, and suddenly struck a spirit, and quickly said: "This, I just want to come over and see if you are the Joshua of the Radcliffe family......"
While speaking, facing Qiao Xiuya who was approaching step by step, she looked around in a panic, but there were no conditions in the narrow alley that could allow her to get out, and unlike the silent one, she was close to Qiao Xiuya, and her body was covered with alchemy dust, so she couldn't forcibly sneak away, and she immediately dispelled the idea of running away with a frustrated face.
"Yes, I am." A hand was pressed on the shoulder of the female stalker, Joshua thought for a moment and decided that it would be better not to pinch his neck: "Now tell me your name and origin, don't lie, by the way, your scabbard should be newly bought, the smell of leather is too strong." β
"So there's something wrong here...... muttered, feeling the power contained in the hand on her shoulder, the gray-haired woman weighed it, and simply decided to give up the concealment, she said cheerfully: "My name is Nolan Wilson, I'm here to ......"
"Wilson!"
Hearing the name, Chris, who was standing on the side, pushed his glasses and interrupted with a gasp: "Are you from the Wilson family?" Yes, I should have guessed by looking at the hair color! Gray hair and purple eyes, and this lifeless expression! β
"The Wilsons?" Hearing what Chris said, Joshua's face remained unchanged, and he didn't seem surprised - just now he had met the son of his own enemy, and now he met another enemy family member.
He looked at Nolan, his palms gradually tightened, and said in a deep voice, "As an enemy, you dare to appear in front of me like this, I admire your courage - I think you should be prepared accordingly, right?" β
"Wait! Don't kill someone if you don't agree! Although I belong to the Wilson family, I am not in the same group as those people! Feeling the strength of her shoulders gradually growing, as if to crush her shoulder blades, the girl named Nolan finally regained the calm and reflexes that a stalker should have, and under the threat of her life, she spoke concisely and forcefully, and spoke clearly: "Like that alchemist, I am not here to rob your family's inheritance, on the contrary, I am here to see if there is an opportunity to sabotage this plan!" β
"Ha, it's funny, at least half an hour was wasted today on the stupid thing of listening to you and Chris say, 'I'm not in the same group as them.'"
Although he said this, Joshua no longer tightened his palms, he could see that the woman in front of him was unnecessary and not lying, so he raised his chin slightly and asked directly: "Chris doesn't want to be a nobleman in the Northland and be a puppet for others, why do you, as a vested interest, oppose your family's actions?" β
"Interests." Nolan felt that Joshua was not ready to kill her directly, so she breathed a sigh of relief, but she still didn't dare to slow down the speed of her explanation: "This operation is the result of my eldest brother's arbitrariness, and the family leaders are currently maintaining a wait-and-see neutral attitude, if it continues to succeed, I don't care, but now there are too many variables, and continuing the operation will only damage my interests, so I must find an opportunity to sabotage." β
"What interest?"
"Half of my branch is in Moldavia, and the chaos here will have a great impact on my future plans."
"The goal?"
The two of them asked and answered, and the whole process didn't even take two minutes, watching the extremely fast progress of the questioning in front of him, Chris vaguely felt that the girl in front of him seemed to be similar to his own - it seems that under the absolute threat of violence, people's words will be concise and powerful.
Nolan was still replying, "Kill my big brother - so I'm definitely on your side, please can you let go now, my shoulder is going to break ......"
ββ¦β¦ I don't know why I don't feel anything about this kind of news anymore, you go on. β
It was another family dispute, his brows furrowed, Joshua looked a little stomachache, the intrigue between the nobles was really annoying to him, couldn't he simply pick up the knife and do it? The warrior sighed, and at Nolan's soft call, he let go of his hand, and then said, "Obviously, it is more advantageous to support a pro-Wilson family Earl of Winter to ascend to the throne, why are the top of your family still waiting?" β
"People have their own demands, and it is impossible for a family to unify their thoughts, let alone a big family." The gray-haired stalker twisted her shoulder, feeling a hot pain in her shoulder, she didn't dare to ignore Joshua's question: "What's more, the kind of person like Danria may not be close to the Wilson family after taking the throne, in fact, this time at most it is just taking advantage of the internal strife in the Raddock Cliff family to seize the market, it is impossible to annex or manipulate, and the power of a county is not so easy to leverage." β
"Even if the lord is a fool, the knights below are not vegetarians." Nolan said this with a serious face: "Moreover, if we start a war of the nobility, then the noble court will have an excuse to intervene - violating the law and order, that is, against the empire, against the emperor, and my eldest brother will ignore this and make this kind of sidekick behavior because he is desperately accumulating prestige for the position of the heir of the family." β
"I see." Joshua thought for a moment and said, "Why do you want to kill that brother...... Forget it, it must be something like inheritance anyway, so don't talk about it. β
Shaking his head, he decisively interrupted the topic: "In this case, without further ado, I am going to kill that uncle now and sabotage the Wilson family's plan, if you are willing to follow, come here." β
"Wait, you're going to go straight to the Lord's Mansion like this?"
Seeing that Joshua seemed to be preparing to walk in the direction of the Lord's Mansion without saying a word, Nolan and Chris were suddenly taken aback, and they all spoke out and persuaded in unison: "Let's make a little plan, right?" β
"I don't have time, this time I entered the city to break through directly in the open, preparing to carry out a surprise beheading, originally there was plenty of time, but because of you and the silent one, a lot of it was wasted." Without stopping, Joshua had already reached the end of the alley, and he turned back and said, "The Silent One must have gone to inform the other soldiers and knights, now is the time to hurry, otherwise the longer the time and the stricter the defense, the more difficult it will be to achieve my goal, let alone you." β
"Joshua, I know you're strong, a warrior who has achieved a hundred killings on the orc battlefield, but you need at least one weapon, right?!"
Nolan continued to try to dissuade, her expression was sincere: "There are more than ten silver guards in the Lord's Mansion, and it won't take five minutes after being attacked, other silver knights will also arrive, and it is impossible to successfully raid without a weapon, not to mention that there is definite news that my eldest brother will rush to Moldavia today, he is a gold-level powerhouse, no matter how strong you are, you can't defeat him!" β
"Gold?"
Hearing this word, Joshua couldn't help but stop, turned his head to look at Nolan, the gray-haired girl's expression didn't seem to be fake, he couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "It's a little tricky, are you sure it's today?" β
Joshua was a legendary warrior after all, and knew very well how big the gap between gold and silver was.
Let's put it this way, if he is given a full suit of armor and weapons, Joshua thinks that he can walk back and forth under the attack of dozens of silver, and he really can't run away, but if there is a gold on the opposite side, it is basically equivalent to having wings and cannot escape, even with Joshua's strength.
This is the Mycrof continent, it is a different world full of strife and war, adult men have black iron rank, greater strength than ordinary ploughing oxen, and the physique is comparable to the knight in the real earth, and the silver knight can basically be equivalent to a humanoid self-propelled artillery, and it is a human tank when it is clothed in armor, and the gold-level powerhouse that can fly freely has a destructive power equal to a sonic bomber that can infinitely drop bombs.
"That's right, Golden Order, I don't know the exact time, but it will definitely come today."
After Nolan finished speaking with great certainty, Chris, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but interject: "Anyway, cousin, I think you should go to the Black Forest Fortress to gather your own family knights, and crush them head-on with a large group of men and horses, even if it is a golden powerhouse, you will not dare to face the charge of hundreds of silver knights." β
"......" Joshua's brows furrowed, and his eyes were very intimidating.
Chris was right, according to common sense, he really shouldn't be so impulsive, a person forced into the city to carry out the beheading plan, although killing that cheap uncle would automatically make him the only heir to Moldavia, the lord of the land, the old butler Fan would also tell him the truth - but, his current strength is only silver rank, and the risk of doing so is too great.
But Joshua is not an ordinary person, and the warrior uncle does not need to follow common sense.
Calling out the attribute version, Joshua looked at his level.
[Lv. 28γ»Silver (Challenge Rank Lv. 29γ»Silver)]
γ4730/5400γ
"It's just a little bit closer."
Whispering to himself, Joshua began to quickly calculate in his mind, he was still short of having a little experience to advance from level twenty-eight to level twenty-nine, which was not far from the golden level.
If he could knock out all the hostile targets in this city, the experience gained would definitely allow him to move up one or two levels to the golden realm - at that time, Joshua, who could use all kinds of powerful skills in his mind, let alone a gold, even if four or five came at the same time, it would be nothing more than a food delivery for him.
"You don't need to say more, I'm ...... How?! β
Just as Joshua made up his mind and was about to set off towards the Lord's Mansion, he suddenly felt a burning pain in his right wrist.
This is like a soldering iron mark, directly touching the molten iron, under this sudden attack, even Joshua couldn't stand it, he held his right wrist with his left hand, cold sweat left from the corner of his forehead, after snorting, Joshua said with a little anger: "What is the situation?!" β
"Whew-"
As if it were wind, as if it were light, a light and ethereal sound echoed in his ears, and the magic in the atmosphere condensed into a translucent silver light that could be seen by the eye, and it churned up, and then like a river flowing into the sea, all poured into Joshua's right wrist.
Under his surprised gaze, a trace of coolness suddenly poured into his originally scorching wrist, and with the expansion of this coolness, a series of wonderful runes like tattoos suddenly appeared on his wrists and the back of his hands, they were extremely complex, each flash was a completely different form, and as the last trace of burning and cool feeling disappeared, these runes were finally fixed into the image of a two-handed giant sword wrapped around a long black snake.
"This-what's going on?!"
