"Sit down."
While Joshua was observing Israel's character list, his majesty waved to the soldier to find a place to sit down, and he himself returned to the armchair behind the desk, and then said slowly, "I know that there are few people who are hurt secretly. Mr. Nostradamus is one, and dimore probably knows a little bit, but Joshua, You're the first to see it for yourself. "
At this time, Israel was not as dignified as before. At a glance, it seemed that he was just a middle-aged soldier with dark golden hair and calm expression, without the momentum and dignity of a legendary strongman.
"Thank you very much, but not at all."
Looking away from the list of characters, Joshua, who had already understood many things, didn't find a chair to sit down and chat with his majesty slowly. He shook his head, and then said simply, "the purpose of my coming to Morley palace is to hurt you. Besides, it's superfluous."
The soldier's action has always been so direct. Under Israel's dissatisfied gaze, Joshua stood in the same place and began to narrate calmly: "your secret injury, your majesty, is probably due to the curse of the orc shaman decades ago. It is a curse arrow containing shadow energy. It pierced your back, although it did not penetrate your kidney, But close to the spine. "
"Great." At first, Israel was not happy because Joshua didn't listen to his good intentions. Instead, he spoke to himself. But after listening to this narrative, his eyes widened slightly and he said in a low voice, "the analysis is not bad at all."
As if did not see in front of the emperor's surprised expression, the soldiers continue to narrate.
"At that time, you should have been fighting hard in the battlefield, so you ignored the curse and continued to encourage fighting with the enemy." At this point, Joshua shook his head and said with some regret: "the fighting time is very long, probably more than one day. The curse power that could be easily expelled is assimilated with your power, and even goes deep into the essence of life, leading to the loss of your life until now."
"It's really a dark wound that is hard to cure. It's not a curse, but a part of your life. If you want to cure it, you need to sublimate the essence of life. But the legendary strong man has reached the extraordinary limit in the world of mccrolfe, which is the ultimate in a sense. It's almost impossible to sublimate."
Israel was about to speak, but he saw Joshua groping in his arms, and then seriously took out a small transparent crystal. His expression was so solemn that his majesty could not help looking at the crystal.
Without hesitation, Joshua put the crystal in his hand directly on Israel's desk, and he said, "unless..."
"Unless I take the first step towards the realm of the gods."
After interrupting the soldier's words, Israel solemnly picked up the transparent crystal on the desk. The crystal immediately released a violent lightning like energy when it touched his finger. If it was an ordinary gold strongman, even if he was not careful, he would suffer a great loss, But is the power of the legendary warrior something it can resist?
Even when there was no time to breathe, the lightning energy turned into nothingness, and the crystal was also held in the hands of the emperor. He gazed at the ordinary crystal and said with emotion: "the first step is to condense the divinity."
"This is a crystal of restless divine power, which should come from the one in the box of Erebus."
Setting aside the divine crystal, Israel was silent for a moment. He turned his head, looked at Joshua, who is still expressionless, and whispered, "you could have left it on your own, or sold it at a good time - anyway, it shouldn't have been put on my desk so easily."
"Why?"
With the strength of the legendary warrior, Israel can naturally analyze the power in this restless divinity, so as to condense his own divinity power bit by bit and sublimate his life essence. This is more reliable than waiting for the substitute of the God of life to hold the healing ceremony for him, and can also enhance his strength.
But why? He was puzzled about this. Joshua solved the case of erebos' box and unexpectedly obtained a piece of divine crystal. It was not surprising, but the soldier was so generous to give it to himself. Even if he was as bold as Israel, he could not help feeling ashamed.
"Why?" He repeated the emperor's doubts in a low voice. Joshua's expression looked very relaxed. He said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are a legendary strong man. I need a lot of time to catch up with your strength."
After all, this is a real world. Different from previous lives, there are no endless wild monsters and copies. In fact, if it wasn't for the nearly endless chaos army of the different world, the soldiers might not be able to reach the extreme now. Thinking of this, he shrugged his shoulders and said: "I want to fight with you once, not just suppress the effort, If your majesty dies before that time, I will be very sorry. "The death of former Israel was probably five or six years later. Now the times have been changed by him, So Joshua also knows whether the other party's death time will be advanced or delayed. However, to reach the legendary level in five or six years, even he does not dare to exaggerate.
"By the way, there are still some things to pay attention to."
Thinking of this, he specially explained to Israel some dangers of divinity - as a unique power, the divinity of other people can only learn, but can not imitate. The divinity of people who like fighting is completely different from that of people who love peace. It is a perfect power for someone, For another person, it's highly toxic.
The former Emperor should have got this divine crystal, but he still died. I think he didn't pay attention to it. The divinity of the God of despair and luck is not in tune with that of Israel, which absolutely needs attention.
"You've done me a big favor, Joshua."
After listening to Joshua's explanation quietly, Israel's expression gradually changed from prudence to joy, and then from joy to calm. He stood up and said to the soldier in a formal and serious tone“ This also comes from the knowledge inherited by sages? "
Without a reply, Joshua's face was expressionless, and his majesty regarded it as the default. His eyes became a little emotional: "all the time, those who treated me could not even see the source of my injury. Even if they could see it clearly, they could not come up with an effective treatment plan - even the healing ceremony of the seven gods church, To tell you the truth, it's just a dead horse being a living horse doctor. "
"What do you want?"
Without too much nonsense, Israel gazed into Joshua's eyes and said, "the devil incident, the box of erebos, and my injury, you helped me a lot, but I didn't give you the reward you deserve} - say, I can give you whatever you want, it's the promise of the emperor."
Israel's peaceful appearance, which was originally due to his injuries, was torn out of a gap, revealing his former supremacy in the battlefield.
"What do you want?"
Slightly a Leng, Qiao Xiuya pour really didn't think so much: "this is really hard to say."
The reason why he came here to treat Israel is very simple, that is, he didn't want such a strong man to die so early, and he didn't even have the chance to fight. Maybe the soldiers also thought of retaining a legendary fighting capacity for the future abyss battle, but the priority is relatively low.
So what does he want? Territory, title, money, Joshua don't care about any of them. Glory, opportunities to fight, extraordinary materials that can make you stronger, these are more reliable.
But the soldier thought that these things didn't need to be given or rewarded by others. He could get them by himself. This time, Joshua decided to go far south for these reasons
Some people want to be the strongest, just like men want to conquer everything, eagles want to fly higher, is a kind of instinct.
But he doesn't have those obsessions. Joshua doesn't care about the name of the strongest. Of course, whoever wants to be the strongest has to fight with him once - but it has nothing to do with his wishes.
"Think about it, I don't want anything in particular."
After thinking about it for a long time, Joshua frowned and was surprised to find that he was just like a Puritan, but the soldier himself didn't want anything, which didn't mean that other people around him were like this: "however, your majesty, do you know how to strengthen the magic power?"
The tone of his words was very sincere, with a trace of urgency.
Ying and Lin, the two children, fought with him all the way. They were loyal and helped the soldiers a lot. Without them, Joshua could not imagine how to deal with the internal affairs of the territory by himself. But even so, the soldiers knew that they could not keep up with their own strength.
Shenji is a weapon made by the Radcliffe family against the chaotic demons of the famine evil god. The strength of the Radcliffe family owners in the past, even with the power of order inherited in the past, is just the level of the middle reaches of gold.
And Joshua, has reached the state of extreme intention. Although the Shenji designed for the golden class battle has some self strengthening functions, the improvement rate is far less than that of the soldiers.
One day, Ying and Lin will not be able to keep up with him. Thinking of the frustrated look of the young girl because she can't fight with her, Joshua's heart can't help trembling a little.
"Strengthen Shenji? It's really difficult. "
Some doubtfully repeated a sentence. Israel pondered for a moment, then said with a smile: "but for the Empire, it's just a little more time. Compared with Radcliffe, your contribution is not worth mentioning. It happens that you are going to the far south now. I can tell the people below to prepare for your return from the far south, The materials and manpower to strengthen Shenji should be ready. "After that, he frowned and said, "that's all? Joshua, these are just two weapons to strengthen. What else do you want more? "
"... there is a shortage of a knight teacher in the wintercastle college in my territory."
Also frowning, thinking for a long time, Joshua finally found another thing he probably needed: "warrior and ranger teacher, they say they have found the right person, but the knight instructor is not so easy to find."
Israel shook his head gently: "this requirement is simpler than before - Knights of the five legions, whether active or retired, can be selected as long as you need, and they will certainly not refuse your request."
Originally, the emperor wanted to ask the soldiers what they needed, but he also found that for such a person as Joshua, he preferred to get what he needed by himself, so he had to give up.
After confirming the details of strengthening Shenji and selecting the actual instructor, Joshua said goodbye. He had always been so direct that he had achieved his goal and left without hesitation.
While Israel sat in the armchair behind his desk, looking at the divine crystal in his hand, his face was expressionless, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"It's a young man who can't be ignored."
Holding the crystal in his hand, the emperor whispered to himself, "such a pure desire to fight has not been seen for a long time."
At this point, he couldn't help but think of the eyes that came from the corner of his eyes when Joshua thought about his wishes.
It was like the most ferocious beast, bloodthirsty and full of dangerous eyes.
"Do you think I'm going to hunt in the future? Is that his wish? Challenge the strong and keep challenging the strong. "
He was not angry at all. On the contrary, Israel showed an excited smile: "that's why he came to tell me how to treat me. It doesn't matter if I don't die before he can challenge me. Rather, having this kind of courage is thousands of times better than those sons who have been waiting for me to die. Only in this way can I be a real soldier and always look forward to the future, Never flinch and disdain to hide your thoughts. "
But after laughing, his eyes became deeper and deeper.
"It's because it's so pure that it's extremely dangerous."
Thinking of this, Israel fell into silence.
If Joshua had no territory, he was not an aristocrat of the Empire.
He has no leaders to take care of, no magic power to care about, no friends to care about, no subordinates, nothing to restrain him... If Joshua, such a pure fighter, grows up freely on the mainland, what kind of existence will he become?
If he didn't die in the battle, and became stronger and stronger, and marched towards the end of the world and the top of the sky, what a terrible existence would he become?
Pure pursuit of fighting, and have such talent
He will eventually let everything go to destruction in the battle.
"But fortunately, he is still alone."
Put away the divinity crystal in his hand, Israel picked up the book on his desk again. He turned his head to look at the direction of Joshua's departure, and his mouth slightly tilted up: "a human with leader, friend, magic power and something worth caring about, although he has no desire and no desire, he can understand."
At this point, the emperor's look suddenly a Leng, he seems to have a good idea: "in this case, simply give him that thing directly."
"I'm sure he'll like it."
