When Joshua returned to the Lord's mansion, his private collection room, a hall full of all kinds of dragon heads miniaturized by magic, he learned some new news from other servants of the Lord's mansion.
For example, his reward for participating in the dragon war.
A few months ago, the soldier fought in the holy mountain of the distant sea and almost died. Thanks to the help of his nature teacher, Pope Iger and several other highly minded clerics, he did not really die.
Naturally, the process is hard, and the rewards are great.
Just before the beginning of the war, as the weapons of Joshua, Ying and Lin had been strengthened to the level of sacred vessels, and the Empire also sent out a floating warship - although the gale had been knocked down by a great dragon in the middle of the war, and the wreckage had been recovered by the Imperial magic guide laboratory, the soldiers had a good time, He can't afford it anyway, so it doesn't matter at all.
After the war, however, the rewards were even more generous. Not to mention the favor of the clergy and the prestige of the holy mountain, the material rewards alone were countless.
Because of the losses caused by the war, even the funds of the seven gods church are insufficient to repair the original defensive array on the holy mountain. Therefore, they did not give pure money in return, but used all kinds of materials as collateral.
Joshua looked at the list in his hand, then turned his head and looked at a big iron blue box in the corner of the hall not far away, which was carefully placed there by the maid.
The control core of five hundred magic automatic puppets, and the supporting control instructions.
"... because I have no money to make puppets, why don't you just give me the theory of control core..."
Joshua murmured to himself, but he also knew that the core of the five hundred automatic puppets was already a very expensive reward for Moldavia collar, which did not lack minerals and founders, This is almost equivalent to a sudden increase of 500 silver level combat power, and handing over the core means that the final manufacturing method has been given to Joshua and the Empire. So, the seven gods church is very sincere.
Lowering his head and continuing to look at the list, Joshua blinked, then turned to the other side of the hall.
There is a huge iron box engraved with miniature magic, on which the characters "valuables, handle with care" are written in the script of the far south kingdom.
"Floating circle."
The soldier nodded. He almost forgot about it.
As a dragon and mount, Hei can't fly. Every time Joshua wants to go on his way or fight with some enemies who can fly, he can only play on his own instead of controlling the dragon. So the soldiers have been complaining about this, but the floating circle can solve this problem.
The floating circle developed by the seven gods Church in order to enable the giant war puppets to have the ability of flying maneuver was rejected for various reasons. At last, only one prototype was manufactured. When they learned of Joshua's request, they modified the prototype to match the black shape, so that the aquatic fire dragon could fly and dominate the land, sea and air.
Floating circle can rely on the magic of equipment for self-defense, but without equipment, it was a fragile iron block engraved with runes. This huge iron box was firmly placed on a sheepskin carpet, which was enough to show the carefulness of the carrier.
"However, I remember that Hei seemed a little afraid of heights..."
Thinking of this, Joshua could not help frowning, but then, his brow immediately stretched: "no matter what she thinks, anyway, more training will certainly learn."
Being comfortable, Heilong, the recipient of Shenji's sister and brother's cleaning service, suddenly shakes all over and shivers. In the voice of fireflies and Lin's dissatisfaction, Heilong, who is awakened from his sleep, looks around cautiously, but he can't find the source of the dangerous chill.
In addition to these things, there are many fragmentary items and personnel, such as a complete set of the latest alchemy laboratory equipment, several elite clergymen who were specially sent to join lindongbao College for teaching, five pairs of one male and one female winged chariots, and many special high-quality holy water, The seven gods church absolutely showed its sincerity, and its long list even made the soldiers lazy to continue to read.
Most of the holy mountain materials will arrive in Moldavia before the spring. Now the most valuable ones are put in the hall by teleportation.
On the other hand, the Empire's remuneration was not as rich as that of the holy mountain, but it was quite a lot.
Not to mention the pure money, the prestige of the Empire and the rewards of family and aristocratic titles, the Moldavians now have an army establishment of 3000 people, which is different from the city guard and patrol guard, which are more like police forces, and also different from the private army and the Knights' order belonging to Joshua. This is the official army establishment, It's a team that can get subsidies from Imperial headquarters.Originally, most of Moldavia's formal troops were stationed in the black forest fortress to fight against the black tide year after year. But now, in addition to increasing the number of soldiers in the black forest fortress, there is a huge surplus of soldiers stationed in other villages and towns except the main city. This is really a very important thing for the Northern Territory, which is suffering from heretics and people who can't take risks, The most important thing is that most of the expenses are paid by the imperial army. Why not.
In fact, just this reward is enough, but it is obvious that the empire is not short of money, so it is not willing to treat Joshua badly.
In his private name, Israel promised to provide Joshua with a batch of materials that can advance the divine power. This is not the same as the holy mountain's infiltration with the power of the holy light, but another kind of promotion. Now, this batch of materials is on the way. According to the herald, it has reached the pass of the Ural Mountains, and it will only take more than ten days, We can get to Moldavia.
In addition, it is a small floating airship. This 37 meter airship inherits the establishment of gale and has a large number of magic weapons. It is a new product made by the imperial magic guide laboratory through the experimental data obtained from the original gale. It can not only fly rapidly in the air, You can also dive in the sea - this is a dual-purpose warship. The reason why the laboratory gave it to Joshua was that the soldiers would collect data for them when they went out.
After all, everyone knows that the Earl of Moldavia has never been able to stay in the territory for long.
The following bits and pieces, as well as the thank-you gifts from Moldova, were too cumbersome. However, a few days ago, Brandon, who had been greatly promoted, came to meet Joshua when he was preparing to return to the imperial capital with his wife and daughter. In addition to discussing with the soldiers, he also told them an important news.
"The imperial capital is not peaceful now."
When the golden swordsman said this, he was tidying his collar, but it could be seen that he was not a guy who could deal with clothes. After doing it for a long time and finally giving up, Brandon seemed to cover up his embarrassment and said to the expressionless Joshua in a serious tone: "after your majesty's return from holy mountain, It's been a long time since he appeared on a formal occasion. According to Mr. Nostradamus, he seems to have been worrying about what happened all the time, and the atmosphere between emperors and nobles is also very strange. "
"You know that." At this point, Brandon shrugged: "I've been in the north for too long, so I'm not sure about the situation, but I can vaguely guess why - it's all because of the second prince, dimore diamond, Joshua. You've seen him once, and you should understand that it's a dispute within the imperial family. Be careful, You may have been seen as a thorn in the side. "
At that time, Joshua somehow scratched his head, then subconsciously moved his fingers.
"Treat me like an eyesore? I said, "shouldn't they be careful?"
The golden swordsman's speechless and choking expression flashed in his head. The soldier suddenly remembered something. He thought with some chagrin: "Damn, I forgot to borrow Brandon's double-edged sword of order again."
But it's not a big deal. The golden swordsman often comes to Beidi to meet with verdini. It doesn't matter if he asks again next time.
The days of peace are always very fast, and more than ten days pass by in a flash. However, many things have happened in these ten days.
After an adventure in the great AEAS mountains, the students of lindongbao got another practical test. This time, the first place was not Ivan and Amira. On the contrary, it was the half dwarf in their team, who was just an adult, The robust half dwarf, who has awakened the racial talent of anti magic skin and Stoneskin, is basically invincible in today's black iron level colleges. He laughs and knocks over a dozen desperate opponents, and kicks his good friends off the challenge arena one by one.
After studying for a long time, the two deans, Joshua and Nostradamus, finally decided to let the half dwarf student with poor written test scores choose whether to transfer his department to the newly established warfighter branch or stay in the caster main school. However, the result was unexpected. This little guy named Nick was an unexpectedly devout believer of the seven gods, He became a young Paladin apprentice in the eyes of several golden ministers from the seven gods church.
As for the young white dragons, they thrive under the leadership of Blue Dragon suralno. In just a few months, some young white dragons have learned to control magic and winged flight. Generally speaking, the white dragons who prefer the elements of water and ice should initially awaken their ability to control ice and liquid, rather than the auxiliary flight of the atmospheric system, But their tutor is a blue dragon after all, and it's helpless to be influenced by the free elements in each other.
And there's a lot of good news from the dwarves.
Last time, along with the urgent news from holy mountain, it was a notice from the old dwarf Moria. By studying the special live metal on the steel element Chu Hao, they have successfully made a new rune puppet. However, under the test, there are still many disappointments. For example, as long as it is too far away from Chu Hao, the live metal will slowly lose its activity, In a few days, it's back to normal alloy.In these ten days, the rune dwarfs have made a breakthrough. By imitating the energy flow in the body of the first horn, they have successfully kept the rune puppet alive for more than ten days. Of course, this is far from enough, but Joshua thinks that the dwarves who have found the right way should soon get the final results.
In this way, you can accomplish what you promised someone.
February 18, 834, Moldavia, main city, Lord's mansion.
Joshua is in the dining room, enjoying his own lunch.
The soldier who has reached the state of supreme will can no longer obtain enough energy from eating to keep his body running. Even the energy consumed by his digestive organs is far more than the nutrients contained in ordinary food. However, eating is never just for survival.
The main course on the table is the steak made of the most delicate tenderloin from a demon ox, fried in a crisp, fragrant atmosphere, and contains rich elements of the earth, full of chewing strength.
The side dish is a special dish made of various magical plants and Warcraft flesh. The simple taste is the second. Each dish can provide a lot of magic to strengthen the body and spirit. This kind of satisfaction is not what ordinary food can provide.
Although these strengthening effects have already been a drop in the bucket for today's Joshua, they have no effect at all, but because part-time chef Lin's cooking skills are more refined, just for the sake of taste, soldiers are willing to sit at the table and sweep away all the food.
It took about five minutes to eat up the whole table. Joshua watched in shock and took the letter from Shenji girl. He asked casually, "what's the matter, Ying? Is there any urgent news?"
"It's not urgent news, but it's Mr. Nostradamus's letter. I think it's better for you to open it yourself."
Calm down, the silver haired girl forced herself to forget her master's whirlwind eating scene, and then said in a slightly puzzled tone: "but a few days ago, you were still discussing with the old mage in the college? Why don't you have a chat then? "
"Because it means that it's really something that happened in the last few days."
After opening the letter, Joshua scanned it.
His expression suddenly became serious.
"The nature tutor and his party arrived at the imperial border secretly yesterday..."
As the soldier watched, he murmured to himself, "a legendary strong man is coming to visit with an envoy from the Elven court. His majesty Israel will meet each other in the imperial capital... The two sides will follow the principle of complementary advantages, mutual benefit, long-term cooperation and common development, To conduct a series of strategic cooperation Consultations - this is an official statement, which has nothing to do with me. "
After a long period of diplomatic nonsense like "cordial and friendly conversation", "strategic partnership" and so on, Joshua looked to the last paragraph.
"So it is... After the natural tutor meets in the imperial capital, he will go directly to the great AEAS volcano, and the reward materials of the Empire will also come along. At that time, the team will be led by me, and take these elves to see if the portal is still in place, and whether they can go to the world of irgana."
Understanding the meaning of the letter from Nostradamus, Joshua put the paper on the table and pondered.
He has long been ready for this. Now the passage leading to the underground cave of the great AEAS volcano has been dug out by the workers wearing magic armor, but the soldiers themselves have not seen it. However, according to the workers, the possibility that the transmission passage is still intact is very low.
You know, the destruction of the transmission channel was caused by the evil god of natural disasters. The whole sigma volcano was turned into nothingness with the full force of the world coordinated array of Dharma. Even the underground lava bank was completely broken down. The rest of the waves even caused the great eyas volcano on the other side of the world to erupt. Joshua believed that the space-time channel would not be completely destroyed, But it is impossible to pass normally.
But it has nothing to do with soldiers. Anyway, Joshua only needs to take this group of people to the place of the time and space passage. With the inside information of the legendary strongman and the fairy King court, he can certainly find some soldiers who can't find clues.
Maybe they can really find a way to the world of irgana?
"What's the problem? Master
Looking at the way Joshua thought, Ying couldn't help feeling a little strange. She thought about it, and then asked in a soft voice, "aren't you full?"
"This kind of thing, even if I eat more than ten meals, I will not be full. Of course, the problem is not that."
Shaking his head, Joshua stood up, moved his finger, and then said, "OK, Ying, you'll accompany me to the other side of the snow mountain nichier later."Kneading the girl's hair, the soldier said with a smile: "I want to prepare well, but we can't let the guests from afar feel that we are not sincere."
