Soul of Burning Steel

Chapter 17 Tit for Tat

After dealing with the patrolling mercenaries on Santiao Street and the gate of the Lord's Mansion, Joshua punched open the closed gate without any scruples, and walked with Yingying in the front garden of the Lord's Mansion.

"That person is not dead."

Following closely behind her master, Ying looked suspiciously and asked, "Aren't you going to kill him?"

"I don't kill people who have no ability to resist... I feel hypocritical for saying this."

While observing the surrounding environment, Joshua replied that he didn't seem to care about such trivial matters: "It's just a mercenary, if he dies, he's still alive, and he doesn't need to make up for it."

"What do you mean by make up?"

"It is to give a last stab to a person who is not dead to make him die."

"Then mercenaries..."

"A soldier who gets paid to do something."

This simple question and answer has continued until now when she walked out of the crypt of the church. Although Yingying has some basic common sense knowledge, she knows nothing about certain situations and vocabulary, especially the newborn vocabulary. Joshua felt that her information package urgently needed to be updated, at least a few hundred years behind the times.

Fortunately, although his Miss Shenji looks indifferent, she is a very curious guy who is very interested in everything around her. It will not take long to fully adapt to this world.

After turning a corner, they came to the right path leading to the mansion.

The Lord's Mansion is equivalent to a city within a city. The outermost layer is a walled gate, followed by a large garden and woodland, and the center is a building for people to live in.

Because Joshua's steps are relatively big, Yingying can only trot to avoid being pulled away. She looked at the surrounding scenery and said to herself, "Uncle Fan lives in this place?"

"You know Fan?" Joshua suddenly turned his head to look at Yingying when he heard the interesting words, a little surprised.

"Yes, he often goes to take care of us." Talking about what she knew, the corner of Ying's mouth curled up, she recalled: "About once every two weeks, master, you also know that the preparation of the magic machine is very troublesome... "

"No, I don't know. I didn't even know about the magic machine until recently."

"Is it...?" Dazed for a moment, Yingying didn't expect her contractor to even know her own existence until recently, and she seemed a little bit shocked: "Well, after all, there are so many people in the sealing room. The magic machine left in the past must be maintained by someone, the previous lord always seems to be very busy, and the maintenance is Uncle Fan's job."

"I see." Joshua nodded, and asked again: "But according to what you said, could it be that the rooms under the churchyard are all divine machines?"

He originally thought that there were only two of them, and the others were ordinary swords. You know, there are hundreds of weapons there.

"Yes, all of them."

Yingying nodded and said: "In order to ensure the best resonance, each contractor will have two to three magic machines to choose from. Since most of the contractors in the past dynasties cannot bear the load caused by many magic machines, they can only Choose the one with the highest synchronization rate, and the others can only be sealed."

As she said that, she frowned slightly, as if she was a little puzzled: "For optimization, the core of each divine machine is made of a part of the contractor's body. My core is a part of your right wrist bone, while my younger brother is a part of the left hand. , It's strange to say, originally he and you have a higher synchronization rate than me, why did he choose me this time..."

(The giant ax? It is indeed a very familiar feeling... It seems that it should be a slight change caused by the soul fusion, which caused the synchronization rate to change. Oh, I am really sorry.)

After guessing the reason, Joshua would not be so stupid as to say it out. After hearing what Ying said, he couldn't help but have a new question: "It seems that the magic machine left in the sealing room is also conscious, so Long-term storage, don't you and them feel pain?"

"can you?"

Firefly didn't take it seriously, although she looked like a fifteen-year-old girl, she spoke very indifferently now, her pair of firefly green pupils were extremely cold: "Pain, loneliness, are the feelings that only human beings have. A weapon has meaning only when it is held by someone, and if it is not used, then wait and seal it in the sheath until the day it is unsheathed."

"It's so cold."

"Because the heart is made of iron."

Unknowingly, the two had a bad joke. Joshua and Ying came to the main entrance of the lord's mansion. The soldier looked up at the small castle and the huge wooden gate like a city gate. After observing carefully for a while, he He nodded and said: "It seems that I changed a magic door after I left. The energy fluctuation is very complicated. It is a bit difficult to open, but it is not troublesome."

"Master, do you know magic?" Hearing this sentence, Yingying asked curiously.

"No, I'm just used to it."

After finishing speaking, Joshua stretched out his fist, and in his eyes reflected the thirty-seven energy nodes in a door that had been strengthened by magic over and over again, comparable to the gate made of pure steel. See through easily.

Just like what he said—the Might and Magic Gate, he had removed it before if it cost 800 or 1000, and he got used to it long ago.

If that's the case, it's a punch!

"boom!!!!"

The air was distorted into a strange shape, and then there was a loud bang, but just before the sound reached his ears, Joshua's right fist had already hit the door, and the air waves set off a strong wind , Sweep away the gravel dust on the ground.

At the same time, with the breathing method that has been used countless times, the power contained in the depths of the body rises again, and the red light pours into the door. Under the control of the legendary warrior, these fighting spirits are scattered into countless parts. Turned into a knife to tear the magic energy route in the door, completely destroying the magic circle supporting the door.

Everything happens within a second.

Joshua slowly withdrew his fist. A gust of wind blew by, and the door in front of him turned into rotten ashes, which slowly drifted into the air, and only a few residues fell to the ground.

【Extreme Intention·Collapse】

Originally, only the gold-level powerhouses could use the fighting skills, but they were used so casually by a silver warrior. This is the biggest benefit brought by the legendary warrior [Extreme Intention].

"It's better to have a real pure steel door, it's more difficult for me."

Stepping into the lord's mansion, Joshua tilted his head and asked Ying to follow: "The battle will be tough later, and it's time for you to show your talents. Come on."

"Yes Master."

========================================

"boom!"

A loud bang resounded throughout the city center.

This is like a siege hammer bombarding the city gate, a low and violent roar.

This voice can be heard even in the hall of the Moldavian Lord's Mansion.

Danlia was originally thinking, but was interrupted by the loud noise. He turned his head to look in the direction of the sound, and asked with a frown, "What's going on? Is there any accident outside?"

The place where the voice appeared was too close, which made him feel a little bit wrong.

"I gonna go see."

A shield-wielding mercenary standing behind him was about to go to see the situation, but Danlia stopped him: "No, you stay, let Gnar go first."

The middle-aged man naturally had his own thoughts, he said: "Francis and the patrol team are outside, if there is an accident, they will go to see first, you are walking too slowly, why not stay here to protect me, Gnar is a ranger, He's the best fit."

"you're right."

The mercenary nodded and backed away, while the ranger with a bow named Gnar stepped out, made a slight gesture, and ran towards the place where the sound came from.

"It's strange. Could it be that the snow crushed a house? But this is the Northland, and every house has been specially reinforced. There is not much snow this year, so how could it be crushed?"

Standing up, Danlia felt that the roar was unnatural. He had seen monsters siege cities and houses collapsed before, and the sound just now was nothing compared to the two...

"boom!!!"

There was another loud noise, the sound was just as deep, and it was much louder than last time. If the source of the sound last time was only relatively close, then this time, it was downstairs!

"what happened?!"

Not only was there a roar, but even the tables and chairs were trembling slightly, like a small earthquake. Danlia was surprised, and his brain was running fast: "There was a roar not far away, and there was an accident downstairs not long ago. There must be a connection between the two—yes, there is an intruder, he killed the patrol and Francis, opened the gate, and directly attacked the Lord's Mansion!"

"Joshua! That's right, it must be him! He unexpectedly attacked at this time, but how is it possible?"

Shocked, Danlia felt remorseful, he should have reacted earlier, but he never expected that Joshua would be so direct and call the door without any reason—there are twenty people in the lord's mansion. Many silver-level warrior guards, how dare he? !

Danlia, who thinks logically with normal people, can't guess what Joshua is thinking at this time. He thinks that his nephew didn't execute the beheading at the first time, and he will definitely lurk for a while. , when the security of the Lord's Mansion was at its strictest, this guy actually made a move directly!

"Rondo, Luo Wen, you two go too!"

Immediately giving the order, the middle-aged man said decisively: "Call the guards and mercenaries together, and say it's my order!"

"Obey!"

The remaining two silver high-ranking mercenaries replied loudly, and then stomped heavily and ran towards the downstairs.

"You dare to come here alone... Joshua, my stupid nephew, when the mercenaries and knights patrolling the city come over and surround you, it's your time of death!"
