Soul of Burning Steel

Joshua walked towards the great sword closest to him.

This is a huge sword that is beyond common sense. Its workmanship is not fine, but rather rough. Half of the sword body is inserted into the stone floor, and the exposed part is still as high as half a person. Although the thick sword body There are rust spots, but it can be seen that the inner sword core is still strong, and the dark silver exterior absorbs the light, as if shrouded in shadow.

Walking in front of it, the tattoo on the back of his hand was already burning like a flame. Joshua stared at the great sword without saying a word, as if he was thinking about something.

After a moment, he held out his right hand.

Joshua held the sword.

"Wow—"

In the closed underground dark room, a gust of wind suddenly rose.

Because of this wind, all the rusty smells that filled the room were swept away, and the weapons inserted in the ground, no matter whether they were knives, swords, spears or axes, were all trembling slightly, making dull noises. The clanging sound seemed to be a celebration, but it also seemed to be a pity. In the hymn played by countless weapons, Joshua stared at the great sword in his hand, and pulled it out of the stone bit by bit.

The light, the light produced by the magic power, emerges from the void. In the hustle and bustle, accompanied by the ear-piercing sound of rubbing iron and stone, the blade of the giant sword gradually leaves the solid rock and is exposed in front of people. The sharp blade reflects the light like a star.

There was a strange brilliance in his eyes. Joshua had already pulled out most of the sword, leaving only the tip of the sword still on the ground—according to common sense, this is impossible. The sword should have been drawn more and more Simple, but now, there is only the last bit of the sword left, and the stubborn refusal to be pulled out seems to be resisting because of something missing.

"Why did you reject me?"

Said in a low voice, Joshua asked about the giant sword in his hand, as if asking someone.

【Brand the brand. 】

A row of words like this suddenly flashed before his eyes. Joshua was a little startled at first, but in an instant, he reacted in the system prompt: "Indeed...that's how it is!"

Taking a deep breath, Joshua suppressed all his thoughts and silenced his mind. Following the wonderful breathing rhythm, the internal organs, bones, muscles and other parts of the body began to vibrate. Countless tiny things came from The power of life itself gathered and flowed along the blood vessels and tendons to his right hand, the hand holding the hilt of the sword.

The flames called Dou Qi condensed, and the power of the steel of origin gathered, and then it was injected into this half-old, half-new giant sword, cleaning its interior.

The rust fell off, the scratches disappeared, and as the silver brilliance shone from the blade of the giant sword, the brand that belonged to Joshua was stamped off, and the last remaining point of the sword left the ground and was pulled out completely, bringing Let out some dust.

The tide of magic, therefore boils! Light spots like fireflies slowly emerged in the atmosphere, and then fell to the blade of the sword like flying snow. The huge power was easily contained under Joshua's astonished gaze.

Then, in a burst of intense brilliance that was invisible to the eyes, the hilt of the huge sword that was originally held tightly in the palm turned into a slender hand, slightly resting on his palm, and there was a black tattoo on the white wrist, It was exactly the same as the ring snake sword on his wrist.

"Meet you for the first time, master."

A girl's elegant voice sounded, and Joshua looked up, and there was a petite figure standing in front of him. She was wearing a women's double-breasted dress, and her silky silver hair fluttered in the wind, like a firefly. There is an inexplicable brilliance flowing in the fire-like green eyes.

She gave Joshua a deacon salute with a smile, then gently withdrew her right hand, and bowed again: "I follow Radcliffe's blood and the ancient contract, so you must be me Contractor, I am Shenji Akrol Steel Sword, you can call me Ying."

And Joshua kept a serious face the whole time, without saying a word, he stared at the elegantly behaved girl in front of him, who vaguely gave a sense of the sight of an old housekeeper, without taking his eyes off her.

It's not that he was dumbfounded. In fact, the thoughts in his heart were extremely complicated and endlessly churning, but in summary, it can roughly be turned into this sentence:

"The magical machine is not a race where people become weapons, but weapons become people?! I'm completely wrong?!"

Naturally, this kind of thought was impossible to express, and the silver-haired girl who called herself Yingying continued. She looked a little happy, and said to Joshua with a smile in a slightly aristocratic voice: "I heard your call , and guide you here, this is your wish and my prayer, now, the contract is about to be fulfilled!"

"From now on, my lord, I will fight with you, open the way with faith, and crush difficulties with strength."

No matter how surprised, Joshua knew instinctively at this moment that the most important step of the contract had been reached, and the power of the blood was surging in his body. He became serious and put his hand on Yingying's forehead.

"In this case, declare, the contract is established!"

The two said solemnly at the same time, their voices became ethereal under the influence of some mysterious force: "Abiding by the ancient contract, my life is placed in your hands, your glory is preserved by my blade, and this oath is preserved by my blood. Never give up!"

In the void, faint rays of light emerged, and Joshua felt a strange sensation rising from inside his body, especially his right wrist. This is the characteristic of the bloodline contract, although Joshua had not signed it with Shenji before. The contract, but he knows how to do it, the body also has an inexplicable sensory ability, if he has children in the future, then his children will also inherit this sensory ability to the divine machine.

After the contract was concluded, both parties seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, especially Hotaru, she seemed very happy, and she didn't intend to hide it, her face was full of joy.

But Joshua knew that this was just a pure appearance.

Although Yingying looks only fourteen or fifteen years old, she is just a young girl, but as a human form formed by condensed energy, although she is a miracle, her fighting power in human form is not weak, at least better than many humans. Silver is stronger.

At this time, the attribute version of the system popped up naturally.

(Attributes, talents and skills, the combat power is not weak at all, and this is still a nascent magic machine. If it is trained well, it will definitely be stronger than it is now. No wonder the old earl regards everything as a help. This is not only because it can be turned into a weapon.)

He thought to himself, Joshua knew that Yingying had just been born, even so, the human form had the strength of middle-level silver, and in times of crisis, he could transform into a weapon to increase the power of a contractor. powerful race.

And the appearance is so cute, I just don't know how crazy those face control people were back then!

Joshua is well aware of the peeing nature of his group of senior players, all of them are gentlemen and ladies, and those who keep a pet are cute and good-looking, and even some mages deliberately study alienism and demonology, that is, In order to summon creatures like goblins or succubi, this is still a mage. It is more convenient to find a good pet. It is not bad for an ordinary warrior to have a mount, let alone others.

He could even imagine how much of a frenzy it would cause in the melee profession when a powerful and cute race like the Divine Machine was revealed, which was almost exclusive to warriors—Joshya was not interested in this aspect at all in his previous life and did not pay attention to it. What kind of news, I just swipe dungeons to blow up BOSS all day long, but even so, I have heard a lot of things about the magic machine, most of which are because the girls in the group chat and swipe the screen, this is enough to prove its fiery degree.

If Joshua is still in the original world now, let the group of fans in the group know that their leader who only knows about **** mother can actually kill him With the contract with Shenji, the whole regiment must explode first.

"My name is Joshua Van Radcliffe, your contractor."

Stretching out his right hand to the silver-haired girl in front of him, Joshua lowered his head and looked directly at her, and seriously extended the invitation: "I should have chatted for a while, but unfortunately I don't have enough time. Now, I'm going to deal with my enemy. I don't know if you have What do you think?"

And Yingying also naturally stretched out her right hand, her slender hand could not be held, but could only be placed in the soldier's palm. She and Joshua looked at each other, smiled and bowed: "It is my birthright to follow the master to kill the enemy." It's a great honor."

"Very good." After finishing speaking, he nodded, Joshua simply turned around and walked towards the underground hall: "Then let's go now."

Without speaking, Ying naturally followed behind him, and the two walked outside together.

At the same time, the consequences of Joshua's direct entry into the city gate were fermenting.

"Trash!" Slapping the table fiercely, Danlia was furious in the reception room of the lord's mansion: "Fifty heavy spearmen, they couldn't hold back for a few minutes, and they were defeated with one move?!"

Unable to refute, the messenger had no choice but to look down at his nose, nose, nose and heart. While scolding these spearmen in his heart for being useless, he also prayed that his employer's anger would be alleviated as soon as possible and that he would not vent it on himself.

"Silencer, ha, what is one of the strongest mercenaries in the Northland, who is also a high-ranking silver man who only knows how to escape, and can't even give specific information about his strength. I really don't know what is the use of hiring this person!"

He cursed again, this tall man who was so strong that he looked a little fat was panting heavily, and the veins on his head were throbbing.

The messenger had no choice but to keep his head down, sincerely hoping that he would not be taught a lesson.

Danlia has no intention of angering the person in front of him. He looks angry, but his brain is very calm. He is still complaining, but in fact he is thinking about other things in his mind.

(How could Joshua be so strong? No, his talent is already superior to that of my brother. It seems that he survived the bloody battle on the orc battlefield and made a breakthrough under the crisis... Even the Silent One is not his opponent. It means that no one on our side can stop him one-on-one.)

(Fortunately, the lord is coming soon, and after such a long time, the guards and patrolling knights have already gathered, so he has no chance to make a surprise attack now, but he still has to pay attention to the possible sneak assassination, after all, this is his hometown, said Maybe there will be some secret path... The Silent One is also unreliable, so be careful.)

"You, go and call the three hired warriors who are staying in the backyard."

Making up her mind, Danlia frowned and said to the orderly beside her, "Just say that I will pay extra and ask them to come closer to protect me!"

"yes!"

Finally able to leave, the orderly stood up quickly as if relieved, and ran towards the backyard, but did not see the calm eyes of his employer behind him.

"The Radcliffe family has always passed on a single son. Even if there are other heirs, most of them are sent to the place where the family originated in the south of the empire to be businessmen like me."

After the person left, Danlia didn't need to put on an angry look. He frowned and thought seriously: "The patriarchs of all generations are all gold, and there must be secrets behind it that I don't know...I can talk about it later. , but the group of Wilson's family is completely untrustworthy, they have evil intentions from the very beginning, and they need more attention than Joshua."

After finishing speaking, he sneered and scrubbed a huge sapphire ring on his thumb.

"You want me to be a puppet? It's funny, but don't underestimate a businessman who can make a lot of money."
