Chapter 6 Under the Double Moon
Dingdang, Dingdang—
The bell rang.
The Earl of Moldavia, the main city and the cathedral rang the clock, and the melodious sound echoed nine times, informing everyone that night had arrived.
As the bells sounded, the lights of every household began to gradually go out.
Because the martial law that began half a month ago, even the commercial zone and Liuying Street, which once did not turn off lights at midnight, were still dark. In addition to the little fire in the hands of the patrol team walking back and forth on the street, there were only a few places in the whole city.
And the brightest one is the lord's mansion.
Next to this building that stands in the center of the city and is similar to the castle, there is a tall wall that blocks others' vision.
"He is not dead?!"
A roar came from it.
In the hall that was not very wide but had an ancient atmosphere, a man who was so strong that he looked a little fat sitting on a big chair, raised his eyebrows, and shouted to the guard who was kneeling on one knee in front of him: "How is that possible! Didn't the news from a few days ago say that he could not survive by rushing into the orc enemy formation alone?"
"Sir, according to the news from the spy, the man not only did not die, but also made great contributions and was given the Blade of Glory. Although he was suspended for violating military rules, this is the worst news for us."
The masked guard couldn't see the expression clearly, but he could also guess that his expression was very ugly.
"…Hmph, so what if you are alive? It's just a silver warrior, and it's useless to come back."
Shaking his head, Danlia Radcliffe, this tall and strong middle-aged man sneered, and his expression seemed a little hideous under the candlelight: "All the knights who are loyal to his father are in the Black Forest Forest, and these knights are the enemies that need to be paid attention to, but they cannot come back before the end of the Black Tide. After the Black Tide, I have long succeeded to the title and become the new generation of Earl of Winter!"
Even though he said this, his brows were still frowning, and he looked very upset: "But he is still alive after all, and for those knights, he is the backbone..."
"Mr. Danlia, it seems you are in trouble." Suddenly, a low male voice sounded in the heart of the strong middle-aged man. At the same time, on the other side of the hall, a figure walked out of the shadow, and a warrior wrapped in armor appeared quietly.
Logically speaking, the whole body armor made of metal will be very obvious, whether it is the sound of footsteps or friction, but this person obviously goes against common sense and makes no sound in every move. At this moment, another spiritual sense came: "If there is anything inconvenient to solve, please tell me."
"Swordsman...Silent, what are you doing?"
Seeing this armor, Danlia sat in a straight position and frowned and replied, "You should be patrolling now, why are you here?"
"I hire you powerful wandering warriors not to let you wander around!" As he said, his voice was chilling.
The silent man's helmet shook, and his hands made a helpless gesture and said with a mental sense: "I am employed by you in name, but in fact, if it is not the support of 'they', you can't hire me, and the same is true for everyone else."
"And I'm not here to argue with you about these, sir, there's a very important news that I think you need to know." As he said this, the silent man became serious: "You know, I don't need to lie to you."
Danlia knew that this was not a joke when she heard this. He immediately stood up and looked solemn: "What news?"
Although I can't see the expression of the silent person, it must be of great importance.
"The adult among 'they' has set off."
“When will it arrive?”
"tomorrow."
After hearing this news, Danlia's face instantly became very ugly: "I haven't mastered this city yet, if that adult comes here now..."
"It's useless to tell me." The silent man interrupted with a spiritual call: "Prefer to prepare for the greeting."
The cold wind blew across the roof and made a whimpering sound. The city lord's mansion became quiet, leaving only Danlia and the silent confrontation.
At this moment, a breathless voice broke the awkward scene.
"Sir...Keep...Master Chris is gone!"
"What?!"
Outside the city, in the woods.
Standing in front of the burning bonfire, Joshua's face was shining with red flames, and occasionally one or two sparks popped out, passing a trajectory in front of his eyes.
It is now a night of cold storm and frost, and it is nearly ten kilometers away from the main city.
While touching the head of the war horse chewing the feed, Joshua added firewood to the fire: "Thank you for your hard work."
It was dark in winter in the north. Instead of risking being exhausted and rushing to the night, it was better to take a break and then make other considerations. In order to maintain strength, Joshua found a small wood as before, took off his luggage from his horse, prepared it, and started having supper.
After breaking the dry food and jerky, he thought about his subsequent actions: "The city gate will be closed after 10 o'clock in the evening. It's too late to go now. Let's take a night off today and keep your energy. There will be a battle tomorrow."
Now the entire main city is probably occupied by his uncle's men. Joshua estimates that as soon as he enters the city, he will be discovered, and battles are inevitable at that time.
The wind blew, blowing the snow on the leaves off.
"The snow is getting heavier." He said softly, adding another piece of firewood.
Moldavia is one of the four major human gathering circles in the Great Aes Volcano in the North. It is adjacent to the Aes Mountains and the Black Forest. Although half of the year is cold winters, due to volcanic ash and geothermal heat, the hilly plains and forests near the mountains are very suitable for living creatures to survive, so this place has always been a paradise for monsters before humans arrive.
However, after the arrival of human beings, the black forest here was dug up by generations of colonists and completely transformed into an urban circle suitable for human habitation.
During this period, no one knew how much the human race had paid, but the originally semicircular black forest was inserted into a triangle blank and divided into two halves. In the newly built city, there were many tombstones in the cemetery.
The lord of Moldavia was the Radcliffe family, that is, the Joshua family. They had been intimate with the dwarves for generations and developed precious minerals in the volcanic mountains. Because of this, manufacturing and processing of high-quality ores and weapons became the main business of the Radcliffe family.
However, due to the climate in the North, only half a year can you trade normally, and you can only rely on dragon car merchants in winter.
With the boiling snow water, Joshua tore off a piece of dried meat, ate another bite of dry food, and carefully felt the taste like wood chips and soil, and felt that the happiness level was reduced by at least fifty points.
"If the pine trees in the north were not poisonous, I would have chewed the bark, at least it was fresh."
He knew a lot of things, from the Green Bear Beast in the Original Forest that even a novice can pass through the brainlessness, to the Dragon of the Collapse Sky that may not be able to pass the level with twenty-four senior adventurers in the Yongfrost Circle, even the terrifying existences such as the giant gods in the sacrificial ground of the Ten Thousand Worlds and the Green Frost Titan in the Wind Eclipse Zenith, Joshua also knew how to use the easiest way to conquer. There is no boss on the Conflict Continent that he has never fought.
In terms of combat, Joshua is a well-deserved master, and no one dares to say that he knows more than he does - but other than that, he knows nothing.
As the general boss and the strongest thug of the strongest battle group in the Far South, he only needs to rush up and kill the most difficult enemies when needed. As for other things, such as diplomacy, planning strategic goals, developing team members and dealing with other team soldiers, etc., Joshua has never paid attention to it, let alone life skills such as cooking.
To be honest, in this life, Joshua was the son of the Count and a middle-level officer, and he was the kind of person who didn't need to cook. In reality, in the past life, when he was still Qiao Xiu, as the owner of a martial arts museum in the Datong world, although he had no apprentice but could only stay in the gym alone for various reasons, but in the case of robots, it was not his turn, a human, no matter what, he was.
In short, this is the reason why he can't cook!
"Tap, tap, tap."
The sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the avenue.
After swallowing the jerky meat in his mouth and experiencing the feeling of swallowing raw wood chips, Joshua looked back and found that a man was whipping up, braved the heavy snow toward the direction of the main city.
"It's really urgent to rush to the middle of the night even if it's snowing heavily."
After dinner and packing everything, Joshua felt that his physical strength was quickly responding. He moved his hands and feet to make sure that the bonfire was fuel enough, and then leaned against the big tree, closing his eyes to rest.
The recent journey has been too difficult. The seventeen days and night journeys have made Joshua, the peak of silver that has reached the limit of mortals, feel a little tired. Now he has empty his mind, clear his mind, and restored his energy as much as possible.
Several hours passed and the snow stopped.
Joshua opened his eyes.
Accompanied by the sound of leaves being driven by the cold wind, the clouds dispersed. Now, in the night sky, two moons hang in the sky, one blue and one white, like gems, and the white star rings span the night sky, like a straight dividing line, dividing the black sky in half. There are countless stars in the night sky, shining brightly.
"What a beautiful moonlight."
I couldn't help but exclaim, and Joshua sighed a little: "In the third edition, the abyss was unsealed, and the two moons were eroded, turning into the eyes of fear, and then I could no longer see this beautiful moonlight."
Although there were many disputes, wars and killings in the future, the continent of Mycrov was very beautiful when peace was peaceful. Even in the early stages of the game, many new players registered their accounts just to see the scenery, and upgraded to see the scenery in more dangerous places. They were called the Tourism Party. In the later stages of the game, most of these people changed their positions to druids and joined the organization [World Reshaper] to recreate those beautiful scenery in the world.
