Chapter 17: Frightened
Not to mention Qiao Shuya, who is urging Hei to become stronger as soon as possible, it is best to formalize the extreme intention as soon as possible, and advance to the legendary Joshua, at this time, Faina, who hastily returned to the East China Sea through space magic, stood in the teleportation circle of her residence, but did not take a step out.
At this time, the sage of the East China Sea had a solemn face, not the slightest bit of talking and laughing in the middle of the Black Forest, even the evil god and the evil god behind the scenes did not pay any attention to the arrogance and uninhibition - on the contrary, Faina's face was almost full of seriousness and nervousness, and even a little fear.
"Hoo ......"
After a long time, Faina slowly walked out of the circle, but as soon as she stepped out of the circle, the legendary powerhouse suddenly weakened her feet, and if she hadn't reacted in time to hold on to the wall, she might have really fallen to her knees in shame.
"Hah...... Radcliffe's asshole...... This madman, does he know what he's talking about?! β
Finally standing firm, after taking a few deep breaths, Faina said in a nice voice: "The evil god is just a natural phenomenon created by man, and there is a higher level behind the scenes, which can be compared with the sage, or even stronger than the sageβdoes he know what the sage's realm represents?" Suddenly saying such big news, is it ready to scare everyone in the world to death! β
Of course, Fayna knew that Joshua was this shit character, and the last time he was outside the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Ground, the truth about the end of the Evil God and the Glorious Age was revealed, which frightened all the forces in the Mycrof world, not to mention the East China Sea, and even inside the Heavenly White Tower, there were calls for the plan of 'preparing for immigration to the other world as soon as possible', and there was a high probability that the Northern Empire's Otherworld Exploration Department was promoted because of this news- But that Flame Prison Lord, who had the same head as a machine, actually had no fear on his face, and his expression had not changed, and everyone present could only force himself to calm down, and pretended not to change his face!
Maybe Joshua still thinks that the establishment of the Atlas Exploration Department is to find colonies for the expansion of the empire. Faina couldn't help but think of this, but after a moment's hesitation, she muttered to herself rather uncertainly, "Not really, right?" β
He's not stone-headed.
But instinctively, Faina felt that it was very possible, after all, Joshua's character had indeed never changed, and this time, after communicating with the evil god without authorization, he told one shocking secret after another in a bland tone that was plain and straightforward without the slightest ups and downs, not to mention fear, and even couldn't hear the feelings-The Sage Lady wanted to quickly cover the other party's mouth on the spot, you know, this kind of news will make the vast majority of forces desperate, so that they will completely lose their resistance to it!
Think about it, if human beings knew that the end would come in a few decades, it was inevitable and unstoppable, and even if it was blocked, there would be a steady stream of other doomsday coming, an endless stream of attacks behind it - who would have the heart to resist? Those who are spiritual are ready to run away, and those who are pessimistic are waiting for death.
But not only did Joshua not have the slightest expression, but when he said the news, he seemed to be saying, "I will have noodles for lunch today." Such a calm and calm and strong psychological quality suddenly suppressed the audience, so that everyone had to force a smile and use all kinds of means to hide their tension, so as not to make a fool of themselves in front of other legends, Faina herself was really not used to this kind of solemn atmosphere, so she almost ran away and returned to her residence with teleportation.
ββ¦β¦ Next time. β
Thinking of this, Faina took a deep breath, and her eyes revealed firmness: "I don't believe in anything like 'I have something to tell you' and 'I have a little news', otherwise I have to be scared to death by that guy." β
And the other two legends, the sword master Lamot and the nature mentor Garanord are almost the same, the sword master went to a tavern on the border of the Black Forest in the West Mountain to drink all night, and then set off slowly, to find a legend he could trust, a small area to spread the news that Joshua said, and the nature mentor stayed in the elven court for a night after returning to the Eternal Island, and only reappeared the next evening, his face was still a little gloomy.
And the fearless mentality of feeling that the legends are full of courage and have no fear of the truth reflects that Joshua, who is very shocked in his heart, is spurring himself on his black head at this time, seriously reflecting on the lack of strength of his will.
Soon, the night passed, and the time came to the fourth day of January in the year 838.
Joshua is inspecting the Empire's Department of External Exploration at the Ares Fortress, with the elite team led by Priest.
The External Exploration team is generally composed of five people, with the captain as the core, with a spellcaster, a cleric, an alchemist, and a melee professional. All of them have to undergo hellish physical training, learn all kinds of biology, geography, astronomy, and countless miscellaneous knowledge, although their identity code names are spellcasters and clergy, etc., but each of them can tear tigers and leopards from scratch after training, build a small survival base from scratch, make rune crystal bombs from any material, and hand-forge magic engines.
They even farm if needed.
The core of this squad is naturally Priest, a gifted melee professional, of course, only in name, after the two hundred and seventy-seven all-round training planned by Joshua himself, Priest has become a real warrior, he is proficient in rune, plastic and self-strengthening spells, can make holy water through prayer, draw an exorcism circle, he can communicate with animals, is good at hypnosis, transfiguration, infiltration and assassination, and the configuration of twenty-seven kinds of poison, Dou Qi has also reached the peak of silver under the accumulation of various precious resources, and it is only one step away from the gold level.
This time, the elite team perfectly completed the task assigned by Joshua and the External Exploration Department, found the nests of the descendants of three legendary creatures, and suppressed the destruction of the Black Forest to a minimum, and in this operation, Priest and the others also showed their strength, they can rely on silver-level strength to survive safely in the middle of the Black Forest, which is full of golden monsters, and even occasionally hunt one or two.
This means that even if they go to the other world, Priest and the others have a great chance of surviving and adapting, as long as there are seven or eight teams of the same level exploring at the same time, then the speed is far faster than Joshua wandering around the void alone.
As for why you don't use the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Ground to teleport the legendary powerhouse to explore, it is mainly because of the consumption, just like Joshua, the energy consumption generated by teleporting Joshua to the other world alone is millions of times that of the entire team of the Teleportation Priest team, even the Ten Thousand Worlds Sacrifice Ground does not want to pay so much extra indifferent consumption.
The elite squad stood on the wall at the edge of the Ares Fortress, with the Black Forest burned to the ground behind them, Joshua walked along the wall to observe the current condition of the people, he walked in front of the mage, knight, priest and alchemist (code name), encouraged them to continue to improve, and gave each of them 7,500 exchange points and a B-level special exchange privilege as a reward.
The value of 100 exchange points can meet the expenses of ordinary families for a year, as long as they are not extravagant and wasteful, they can live very comfortably, and more than 2000 exchange points can replace some precious materials that are not in circulation in the market at all.
7500 exchange points, combined with B-level permissions, are enough for the four people present to replace their whole body equipment, directly from ordinary people to become rich, and get all kinds of special enhancements, and even the transplantation of some extraordinary organs, on the spot, the alchemist muttered in surprise that he must change a 'Hydra Heart' to himself, so that he has a strong resistance to various neurotoxins and alchemy substances, which has greatly improved his daily research and combat flexibility.
In this regard, Qiao Sia is naturally undeniable, transplanting extraordinary biological organs is indeed close to becoming stronger, but it is also easy to cause disharmony in the vitality of the body, resulting in the basic impossibility of going too far together in the power of fighting spirit, vitality and steel, but the other party is an alchemist, and if his ambition is not here, then it naturally doesn't matter.
Priest naturally got his own reward - as the core of the team, he coordinated the entire team to complete the task, and played a great role as the pillar, he got 10,000 exchange points and two B-level exchange permissions, which is a privilege belonging to the captain, and even if the other team members are envious, they will not have the feeling of "I can do it".
After receiving the reward, the team was disbanded. This is just a private inspection of Joshua, and the points issued are also a reward in his personal name, so all the team members are full of red and excited, with such a batch of additional resources, coupled with the favorable environment of the Great Demon Tide, they are confident that they will advance to gold in half a year - not the kind of ordinary, just a step stronger than silver 'pseudo-gold', but a real powerhouse with the power of glory.
"Priest, you stay."
However, just as Priest was about to leave with his teammates, using the information terminal to show off the reward he had received to his sister and friends who were still in Moldavia, a deep and clear voice sounded and stopped him.
The others heard the voice, and they turned their heads and didn't say anything more, just patted Priest on the shoulder with envy, and then quietly left.
And Priest, who was left behind by Joshua's name, also turned back with doubts and excitement to meet his immediate boss, the lord and the dean.
At this time, Joshua, because he was only an incarnation, all the sense of coercion and fear brought to people was relatively slight, but this slight was only for his body, and for ordinary people, it was still an extremely depressing coercion.
However, after all, Priest had been in the North for a long time and was used to this kind of coercion, so he knelt down smoothly and bowed his head, and said respectfully: "My lord." β
"Stand up, there's no need to be so restrained."
Joshua bent down and patted Priest on the shoulderβwhich made the young man almost catch his breath as he knelt on both feetβmotioning for the other to stand up. After Priest stood up straight, Joshua said calmly, "I have a report here that shows that you have taught yourself a lot of things in the Department of External Exploration, not only about supernatural powers, but also on advanced mathematics, void science, matter theory, and alchemy. β
When Joshua said this, there was a little curiosity in his tone: "You spent almost close to a thousand contribution points, which were specially used to ask the corresponding tutors to tutor for you, buy books and experimental materials. That's ten years of consumption for an ordinary family, and as far as I know, you weren't rich before. β
"Why?"
When Joshua asked 'why' in a calm tone, Priest couldn't help but lower his head, a little uneasy in his heart, he didn't know why Joshua asked these questions, whether he was happy or felt that he was wasting time, so Priest said with some hesitation: "...... It's you, Lord Dean, who said that knowledge is part of power, and the kingdom that separates scholars from warriors will only have cowardly souls and stupid wars. β
He recounted what Joshua had said in his speech at the end of the previous year, and then said in a serious voice: "I don't want to be weakling...... I want to be as strong as you! So I think it's worth spending so many contribution points to learn - I won't delay the mission of the Department of External Exploration, I can guarantee it! β
"Haha, I said it, there's no need to be so nervous."
For the apprehensive Priest, Joshua just smiled and shook his head, he looked at the young man in front of him with admiration, who had tutored various subjects to the point of approaching the professional level in just half a year, and his eyes were full of joy that he had found a good seed.
Even in today's McCrof world, there are spells similar to memory enhancement and fast reading, but if you want to really integrate so much knowledge, it is absolutely not enough to ask teachers and buy textbooks, you must also think with all your might, digest the content recorded in these books, and turn it into your own...... And the little guy in front of him is a real genius who has taught himself in between various tasks and has been appreciated by several teachers.
This kid ...... Maybe he really has the talent to be a strong man.
Thinking of this, Joshua couldn't help but recall many memories of the past, and he thought of the saints of the sages.
Perhaps, it was because of this appreciation that the original sages passed down so many inheritances.
But it doesn't matter, because I am not imitating, but I really want to help these young people and see what height they can stand in the future.
"I was still thinking about whether I wanted to move you to the academy and study systematically, but now it seems that there is no need."
The warrior nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "But now it seems that letting you learn on your own, and with a sufficiently difficult practice, is the most suitable path for you." Very good, Priest, so I'm going to give you a chance. β
The gray-haired young man subconsciously raised his head and looked directly into Joshua's eyes. And Joshua smiled and said to him: "There is no need to go to the exchange system of the Ministry of External Exploration, no matter what you want and what you want to learn, I can create and provide it for you." And I don't need you to pay any extra price, just the exchange points and permissions I reward you this time. β
As he spoke, the warrior raised his right hand, and in the palm of his hand, a silver ball of light was slowly rotating, flowing with the brilliance of the power of steel, and in this layer of faint light, there was the phantom flow of all things, as if as long as the light flickered, it could turn into reality and appear in reality.
"Say, don't be too greedy."
At this moment, Priest was stunned, he might have guessed that he would get some additional builds, and he would be optimistic about his reward as a legendary powerhouse, but he definitely didn't think that what Joshua provided to him was actually 'a wish'.
Let the legendary powerhouse Count Radcliffe fulfill a wish for himself - of course, the unbelievable request is naturally impossible to achieve, but it is only a limited wish, how can it be compared with just a few reward points and exchange permissions? This kind of opportunity is placed in the outside world, even the king will snatch it, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is worth even the city.
And Joshua looked at the stunned Priest like this, and the warrior observed the every move of this young man with great potential, and he wanted to know what Priest would choose in such a good atmosphere.
"I've figured it out, sir."
After a long time, the gray-haired young man closed his eyes, took a deep breath, opened his eyes, and said with a firm gaze: "I want to get some knowledge...... I want to learn something. β
"Say it, Prester." In this regard, Joshua naturally readily agreed, the silver ball of light in his palm rotated rapidly, and this time, what appeared in the glorious illusion was a book, and the warrior raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you want to learn?" β
And Priest, at this time, was not thinking of himself, but behind him, by his side, and not here, but far away in Moldavia.
So he whispered:
"I want to learn absolute protection, my lord."
