When Joshua came back from the turbulence of time and space, it was in the middle of May 835.

Carlis pulled him from the turbulence of time and space into the dome of the stars, the core of the world, where the flow of time became abnormal, a minute may be a day, a month may be a moment, which is why ordinary life can not talk with the steel python, and it is difficult for them to maintain their self-consciousness in this extraordinary environment. Joshua was lucky. During the conversation with carlis, the time of the dome of the stars passed normally, but when the steel Python sent him back to the continent of mirov, he encountered an accident. A small outbreak of the great devil tide delayed his departure time greatly.

But anyway, now he's back in the continent of mirov, the great AEAS mountains, this familiar place.

With the opening of the dark blue door, the space-time crack appeared on the most magnificent mountain in the north. The obvious extreme space-time fluctuation passed in all directions, attracting the attention of many people who had been waiting here for a long time. With waves of magic fluctuation, three mages and two golden soldiers flew up at the same time and approached the dark blue space-time door.

The arrival of the great magic tide has greatly improved the strength level of the whole world. Under the baptism of nearly a year's high concentration magic, there have been many silver high-level advancement for the existence of gold class. However, the existence of gold class is still the high-level strength of the whole world, and the reason why these elites are waiting respectfully here is that they are still waiting for the existence of gold class, Naturally, it's because of the order.

Orders from the emperor.

Nearly a week ago, the emperor and his trusted mentor came to the north to meet two legendary mages who had lost contact for a long time. They exchanged views with each other for a long time. From Barnier and William, the two Empire leaders learned "yes, count Radcliffe."

For Joshua's advice, the Royal mage immediately bowed his head and replied respectfully: "I will take your words to your majesty completely - do you have anything else to ask?"

No, Joshua didn't say that, because he had already started to move towards the south, towards the leader of Moldavia, towards the direction of the Lord's mansion. In a moment, all the people on standby, whether high-level mages or gold warriors, didn't see any process, and the soldiers disappeared, It was not until the Royal mage carefully looked up at the place where Joshua was, that he knew that he had left.

He went home.

At this time, the roof of the Lord's mansion, heizheng holding a ball, bored lying on the concave convex battlements at the edge of the tower, looking at the blue sky. In recent days, Heilong girl has always been so leisurely. After all, she doesn't need to deal with official business like Lin, nor does she need to monitor the situation in the whole main city like Miss No. 3. Even Ying is busier than her. At least Shenji girl is also a part-time maid. It's always her job to clean such important places as study and bedroom.

Black is the only one who has nothing to do except to be taken out for a walk by the soldiers. So she has nothing to do in the days when Joshua is away. If the soldiers are busy and can't accompany her, black dragon girl will actually go to the Arctic ice field by herself. She even tries to catch fish around the blankness sea, But now, Joshua is not only worried about Shenji and AI girls, but also worried about Hei.

Thanks to the photosphere. Thinking of this, Hei stretched out her hand and caressed it carefully. It seemed that it was a suitable Beige light ball to get stuck between her two corners. However, a clear Ding bell proved that the other party was in a good mood.

It's warm. It's comfortable. She thought happily. But if I continue to touch it, will it be angry? Black dragon girl is a little worried.

No matter Ying or Lin, or no. 3, they all expressed great curiosity about the existence of the photosphere. Shenji's sister and brother thought that it was similar to their psionic body, and had a body of nearly physical energy. The AI girl thought that the other's form of existence was worth learning from. In fact, No. 3 had been in the central control room for several days, It seems that we are trying to imitate this repulsive force field, which is clearly only energy, but can be touched like substance.

But no matter who it is, they all think that the unknown life brought back by the owner is absolutely of great value. Otherwise, why did Joshua bring back such a ball without bringing anything? So, either out of curiosity or enterprising spirit, they all began to make progress from me in their own way, and intended to show it to the master when he came back - no doubt, like Israel and others, the people in the Lord's mansion thought that the soldiers would surely return safely.

In this regard, black is more powerful, she did not think of anything. For the black dragon, who has been put away by soldiers most of the time in the palm print lake of the snow mountain of Nicaea, its master is often absent.

Therefore, when she saw a red rainbow running through the blue sky and stopping over the Lord's mansion - that is, before her eyes, Hei was not too surprised and excited, but just raised her hand and said hello to the soldier: "master! You are back"Yes, I'm back. Are you worried about me?"

Landing in the tower, Joshua smiles and habitually reaches out his hand, intending to touch the head of the black dragon girl. But when Heiye habitually reaches out his head, he finds that his hand touches a soft and elastic existence like jelly - the light ball sends out a series of clear wind bells, which seems to be angry at Joshua's long-term farewell.

"I didn't leave you - it was an accident." He took the light ball off the top of the black head. While stretching out his right hand, Joshua rubbed each other's head in the comfortable expression of the black dragon girl, and said to the light ball in his left arm: "how about it? Mcrov mainland should be much better than blood month, I thought you would not adapt to the air environment, but now it seems that you have a good life

"Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding!"

In the light of the wind bell, a wave of magic quickly gathered in the air, and the stairs also came the sound of footsteps, aware of the top floor movement and familiar atmosphere, Shenji sister and brother and No. 3 all reacted in an instant, and then made the most rapid action.

Without speaking, Joshua raised his head and looked at No. 3, who had just gathered the magic projection, and yingyu Lin, who came out from the entrance and exit. He gave a smile and then nodded.

"I'm back." "I'm a little late," he said

"It's too late." The silver haired girl pursed her mouth and frowned. She put her hands in front of her chest and said angrily, "and the most important thing is not that, nor that she didn't take us with her - she just walked away without saying hello!"

"Leaving without saying goodbye will cause confusion, master!" Even Lin, who has always been gentle, showed a puzzled expression. The housekeeper who has been dealing with government affairs for the soldiers seems to be a little exhausted: "God, no one can imagine that you have left so suddenly. The black forest fortress has issued three documents asking for additional supplies. I dare not sign without you, but this matter is extremely urgent, so I can only disguise my signature, Let's settle the matter first - don't you blame me? "

"Of course not. I'm even going to praise you." Joshua blinked. How could he blame Lin? Without this housekeeper, the soldiers would be overwhelmed by the starry government affairs of Moldavia. You know, he has always been a little lack of knowledge about being a Lord. To put it mildly, Joshua's character is unrestrained and unrestrained. He is not bound by trifles. To put it mildly, he can't be a qualified leader. At most, he commands a small team to charge on the battlefield. It's impossible for him to stay in one place to deal with complicated government affairs.

The main reason for Shenji's indignation is that they didn't take them with them in this adventure. As weapons, Ying and Lin feel that they are extremely incompetent. Joshua spent a lot of time to solve this problem. For example, he promised them that if they had a chance next time, they would take them out and chop something together, Not to let them forget their own responsibilities, and after that, the soldiers turned to the silent No. 3.

"Why don't you talk?" Asked Joshua strangely. However, he knows that in the past similar situations, Miss AI has always been the first to speak, but this time she has been silent, and she always feels a little different from before.

"... you're doing dangerous things again, Joshua."

In the face of the soldier's inquiry, No. 3 was silent for a long time, and then murmured: "you don't take Yinghe because you think it's too dangerous... The speed of black is very fast, and you can avoid most dangerous situations, so you take her."

"The abyss is not dangerous to me, but not to you."

As for the AI girl's words, Joshua's face was also involuntarily serious. He seriously replied: "in fact, it's a little thoughtless to bring black, but everything is OK. This trip to the abyss also made me find a lot of potential troubles."

Thinking of the divine Rune engraved on his bones, Joshua nodded slightly. To be able to clearly detect the influence of divinity on himself is one of the biggest gains of this abyss trip, second only to the information that steel Python told him.

"Speaking of this, No.3, it's different. You care about my safety."

Many thoughts flashed by, and Joshua regained his mind. He looked at No. 3, who was still a little worried, and said with a smile, "you have confidence in me before that. How can you suddenly care about my safety?"

When Joshua said this, he was very relaxed. He just instinctively casually said to No. 3, which was not even considered by his brain. On the contrary, No. 3 thought seriously for a while after listening to Joshua's question, and then answered.

"Joshua."

When she said this, the AI girl's tone was very sincere and serious. This kind of emotion was so obvious that she even stopped her actions subconsciously when she was touching the light ball and making it ring. Not to mention the real Ying and Lin from the beginning, No. 3 seemed to be considering her own words. After a few seconds, she said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.", She just whispered: "now, we are very happy.""Ying, Lin, Hei, this photosphere, the old bishop of atannis, Mr. Brandon, Ms. verdanee, two young ladies of the scarlants, the infrequent master Nostradamus and His Majesty the emperor."

3 The voice of No.1 was not big, but it was very clear. She looked around at all the people present, and then continued to say in a calm voice: "a year or two ago, all the people didn't look good. They, we, are all worried because there are many things that have not been solved. But now it's different. Our lives are on track. "

Ying and Lin have adapted to the role of their maid and housekeeper. The silver haired girl is no longer the one who knew nothing at first, but the leader who can skillfully deal with domestic affairs and coordinate the problems in the Lord's house. And the young man has also become a housekeeper who can take charge of his own affairs. Lin's government affairs are getting better and better day by day, which is enough to let anyone trust him with his work.

The black dragon girl has learned the way of human life. Of course, she prefers to play in the wilderness as a dragon. However, her efforts can not be denied. The old Archbishop atannis is no longer in charge of church work. Several of his former apprentices and current students begin to preside over mass and prayer instead of him, Lead the clergy to inspect the trace of heretics.

Not to mention the Brandons and their daughters, as well as Israel and Nostradamus. The former had a happy family and were no longer harassed by the tide of beasts and heretics, while the latter became legends. Nothing in the whole empire could influence their thoughts any more. They all got the life and power they wanted.

"The world has tended to be stable, so why do you have to put yourself in danger? There's no need for it. "

Tell all this quietly, No.3 and Joshua look at each other, her eyes are flashing blue light, artificial intelligence seems to have some doubts: "just because it is perfect, so I and yingyu and Lin hope you can be safe... Because without you, all this will be meaningless."

Facing the sharp question that No. 3 had never asked, Joshua was silent for a while. Of course, he knew that his actions would not be understood by the acquaintances. In the eyes of the public, all the dangers had gone away. The orcs were extinct, the dragon was defeated, the heretics were expelled, and the demons were silent in the mountains. The whole continent of mirov has ushered in a long lost real peace, and even those who know the truth know that the flame has been rekindled, and the problems that have plagued these powerful people for thousands of years have been solved by him. He was solved by Joshua.

Indeed, an unprecedented era of stability has come. All we need to do is to enjoy the happiness we haven't seen for a long time. This is especially true for the AI girl who has been driving for thousands of years in carlis's already ruined world. She expects that it is not a legendary adventure with ups and downs, but a calm and boring daily life.

Why did Joshua deliberately put himself in danger? She couldn't understand this. She didn't ask this kind of question originally, but the unknown impulse -- the impulse never existed in artificial intelligence drove her to ask this question abruptly.

"... you're right."

Yes, No. 3 is right. The world has ushered in a peaceful and prosperous era. Even the devil can never invade in more than 20 years according to the previous history. In response, Joshua closed his eyes and opened them again. He doesn't know how to explain what he knows to his family members, even if they are not related by blood, but more like relatives.

What do you want to say? The abyss is just an evil neighbor who needs to be alert, and the real threat is the evil god who will come decades later? It's ridiculous, and I can't say it. It's information about evil spirits. I can't say more to anyone.

Thinking of the deep evil and nameless God of terror in the memory of carlis the steel python, Joshua could not help sighing deeply in his heart. Just because he knows more, he thinks more and does more. Even if what he did seemed unnecessary to others, it was necessary. Decades of time seems long, but for the gap between legend and evil god, it seems very short.

Not enough, not enough. It's because you feel happy now. That's why I have to do these things as soon as possible.

I don't know how to say this, Joshua can only step forward, and then give a hug to No. 3 floating in mid air. Under the strength of the warrior, the illusory magic projection is also held in his arms like an entity.

"It's my recklessness this time, but it's OK." He said so, then released his hand, turned around, and gave the same hug to Ying and Lin, who were already close to him. Thinking about what carlis had told him, the soldier said seriously, "from today on, I won't let you worry."
