Soul of Burning Steel

Kuro and Theodore, who were fighting, stopped their actions at the same time.

Because of an extremely strong oppressive force, like a landslide and a tsunami, it hit from the top of the mountainside.

It was as if a high mountain was falling and collapsing towards me. The mountain, which was huge enough to cover the sky, was slowly pressing down with unstoppable force, making people feel unable to avoid, unable to escape, and even unable to raise the thought of resistance. Both the half-dragon and the brown-haired mage knew that the battle had come to an end.

And just a moment later, a gust of howling wind came to the center of the battlefield, and the figure of a black-haired man appeared on the pitch-black ground. He looked around the scorched lake and shook his head: "What a nonsense."

"Roar!"

Seeing Joshua's appearance, Hei, who was originally extremely arrogant and looked like a dragon in knight novels, immediately sat quietly on the ground, with his tail curled up, looking very well-behaved, he roared softly, Say hello to your own master.

To be honest, Banlong's heart was full of disbelief and guilty conscience. It originally thought that several other mentors from the academy came to persuade him, but it never expected that it was the soldiers who came in person.

"Calm down and take a look, you really are getting bigger and bigger."

Joshua approached Hei, he looked up at his mount, touched the other's smooth carapace tail, and clicked twice: "You were only about ten meters tall back then, but now you are half as tall. It is almost taller than the tower of my lord's mansion."

After finishing speaking, Joshua turned his head and looked at the brown-haired mage standing aside with a face of shock. He sighed and said, "Tell me, Theodore, what's going on? Hei Ping has a good relationship with you." , it is impossible to take the initiative to attack you."

The warrior is not protecting his shortcomings, but he knows Hei's character. Theodore is one of the few human acquaintances of Banlong, and he can even be regarded as a friend. It is reasonable to say that there is a small conflict between the two, how could it be possible to fight like this? fierce? Looking at the lakeside, it's basically the same as being plowed by an alchemy cannon. Some places have crystallized, and I don't know how many times I have endured the dragon's breath.

Asking Hei is definitely not fruitful, it is better to ask the brunette mage what is going on.

"My lord, the matter is like this..."

Regarding Joshua's question, Theodore did not dare to neglect. He thought about the word order for a while, and then told the matter in detail, without any deviation in the middle, and did not defend himself, but simply and neatly Tell me what you said wrong when you got carried away.

His character is so simple, he doesn't know how to lie, what's more, Theodore also knows that it is meaningless to lie to a soldier, and the other party can see through it at a glance.

After listening, Joshua's complexion was very subtle. He first gave the stupid mage a helpless look, as if saying that he deserved it, then turned his head and gave Banlong a hard look: "Black! This guy Odo can't speak, but you don't need to fight to such an extent for this kind of thing, a little lesson is enough, look at this land, your strength is absolutely going to kill him!"

Originally, by the lakeside of Palmprint Lake at the foot of Nissie Snow Mountain, there was a large expanse of cold pine forest, which can be regarded as a scene worth admiring, but now, at least half of the pine forest has been completely burned, not to mention the impact on the local ecological environment. At least it looks very ugly.

"Roar!"

--I was wrong!

Uneasy wriggling, Hei admitted his mistake neatly. Facing Joshua who was obviously a little angry, of course it couldn't say that it was just a whim, so it deliberately exerted a little force, and could only obediently admit it.

This was not a big deal in the first place, and Joshua didn't want to continue to pursue this kind of issue, so after a little lecture on one dragon and one person, he asked Theodore about the dragon eggs.

"Professor Drake."

Since he was talking about business, Joshua's tone became serious, and he began to call Theodore by his proper name: "Are you sure, if you want to raise a young dragon to be close to humans, you can only rely on a giant dragon that is close to humans to lead it?" ?"

"No, there are many other ways, but this is the only one at present."

Talking about his professional field, Theodore also settled down. He put down the box containing the dragon eggs in his hand, and began to explain seriously: "As we all know, powerful monsters have blood inheritance, and they have long surpassed monsters and become a dragon egg. The same is true for giant dragons of powerful races. Their inheritance engraved deep in their bodies allows their offspring to learn many hunting and spellcasting skills without the need for elders to teach them, and they will gradually cultivate the cognition of young dragons. Make them disdain the company of all creatures but dragons."

"For humans, it is naturally the same. If an adult dragon does not use force to force them to surrender, it is almost impossible to become a partner of humans. However, since the inheritance in the body has not yet fully emerged, there is still a possibility of change. .”

At this time, two other tutors from the college, Sophia and Dill, also came to the lakeside, but after seeing Joshua and Theodore seemed to be talking about something serious, they all left quietly, and the students returned later. To go to class, now that the matter has been settled, they can't waste time.

Theodore was a little excited at the moment. He opened his magic book and showed Joshua a few magic circles: "Look, my lord, this is the ability to slowly perform soul hints for the young dragon inside the dragon egg." The magic circle, which can perfectly avoid the natural inheritance of giant dragons, makes those little guys closer to humans, and the few next to it are brainwashing circles, which are generally used for more stubborn young dragons, but these take too much time. long."

Pointing to the dragon eggs in the silver box, the brown-haired mage looked very regretful, and said with some emotion: "It seems that I took good care of them before. How can I say these dragon eggs... because they are too healthy, so It may hatch at any time, from now to a few weeks later, but it basically takes more than a few months for those magic circles to take effect, which is completely too late."

"So, can only Hei Lai lead this group of young dragons..."

Looking sideways at the nervous Hei, Qiao Xiu thought for a while, and then asked with some doubts: "But you said before that Hei was going to hatch these eggs, why did you just say that Hei was the leader? There is a huge gap between them." It's a bit big, if you said the latter at the beginning, Hei might not want to teach you a lesson."

Suddenly caught by the soldier's question, the brown-haired mage hesitated for a while, and then told the truth: "Because it is too troublesome to send the dragon eggs one by one after they hatch, so I want to simply send all the dragon eggs Throwing it into it... I am too arrogant!"

After speaking, he closed his eyes with a nervous expression on his face.

"Roar!"

—You bastard!

Hearing these words from Theodore, Hei opened his eyes wide again as expected, and let out a roar, but it immediately flinched back under Joshua's warning eyes, but even so, the half-dragon still ruthlessly He stared at the brunette mage with his eyes, as if he wanted to kill him with his eyes.

After Hei roared, Theodore slowly opened his eyes. He saw Joshua nodded to himself, indicating to continue talking, then he cleared his throat and continued to explain: "In short, due to lack of time, We can only let Hei Lai lead these young dragons and slowly develop a temperament close to humans. Of course, it is best to choose a few knights and live with them since childhood, so as to ensure a perfect fit."

"That's not a big deal."

Joshua nodded thoughtfully. Joshua was also looking forward to the Dragon Riders. You must know that at the end of the Starfall Era, in the second half of the Second Abyss War, only large floating battleships cooperated with dragons. Only a cavalry group can fight against flying demons like dark clouds. At that time, giant dragons will also wear steel armor with runes drawn on them, which is completely a smaller flying fortress.

"But, won't it take too long for the dragon to grow up?"

After thinking for a while, the soldier still asked his most troubled question: "When the baby dragon grows to the point where it can be used, most of the knights are already old, or they are not at their peak, and they may not be able to adapt. Rapid flight and dash through the air."

"Actually, if you want to train the baby dragon into a usable mount as soon as possible, then I actually have some methods here."

Closing the magic book in his hand, Theodore touched his head, and he said hesitantly: "However, this requires a lot of dragon blood and dragon bone powder. Although different types can be used, it is best to use the same kind. I heard that Lord Lord, you have basically sold all the materials you got from the last dragon slaying, so it may not be enough."

"Well……"

Joshua pondered, this is indeed a problem. To be honest, he is really not good at financial management and internal affairs. Usually, Alfonso who handles the family business is far away in the imperial capital, or he is handed over to Rin, before and after the dragon slaying. , it happened that the Black Forest Fortress and some parts of the city needed to build some facilities, and he was short of money, so he simply sold most of the materials and kept a little for collection.

Obviously, which point of collection is definitely not the large number that Theodore said, but he has killed all the white dragons in the Northland, so where can I find other dragon slayers?

"For now, Hei, what do you think?"

Shaking his head and giving up thinking about this question for the time being, Joshua turned around, looked at Hei who was still a little unhappy, and asked seriously: "Are you willing to take these young dragons with you? It doesn't matter if you don't, I have plenty of ways Get these little guys to cooperate."

Although he really wanted to form a dragon cavalry regiment, what was more important was the mood of the half-dragon. Warriors were not the type to wrong their own people.

"Hoo hoo."

Shaking his head, Hei said that he didn't care. In fact, if he was leading a young dragon, the half-dragon would not reject it. For dragons, this is almost equivalent to human beings conceived out of wedlock.

"so be it."

Since Hei did not object, Joshua made a quick decision: "Theodore, I think you should have learned your lesson this time, this time you wait for the dragon eggs to hatch and give them to you one by one. Hei, don't worry about it."

After seeing the brown-haired mage nodding honestly, the soldier paused, and then slowly said: "However, seeing that you have been chased and beaten for so long this time, it is indeed a bit too much... After all the baby dragons hatch, you You can pick one, Nostradamus told me about it, he said you always wanted a dragon as a contracted creature."

Joshua is a person who is not stingy with rewards, not to mention without Theodore, it is almost impossible for these dragon eggs to hatch, and it is difficult to cultivate after hatching.

In fact, in his opinion, with the credit of the brown-haired mage, a young dragon is not enough to repay his hard work, but Theodore suddenly raised his head and asked with joy: "Really? Your lord?"

"I don't make promises casually, and I will keep my promises."

Receiving such a strong guarantee from the warrior, the brown-haired mage immediately let out a long breath. He turned his head and looked at the silver box, as if he could see the dragon egg behind it through the metal.

The wish of many years is about to be fulfilled, and all the hard work in the past has paid off. While his heart is hot, he has repeatedly warned himself not to be as excited as before. The future is still long, and he must become a real Dragon Pact mage There is still a long way to go, and the brown-haired mage knows that this is just the first step of his dream, and he still has a lot of things to do next.

"Thank you, Lord Radcliffe."

After stabilizing his emotions, Theodore thanked Joshua in a low and clear voice. He bowed deeply to Joshua: "You are a truly generous person, and the truth will definitely protect you."

"alright."

Accepting the other party's solemn thanks with a smile, Joshua shook his head and said, "Don't be so serious, today is a happy day for you and me... Also, don't you think you should make some compensation for Hei?" ?"

Hei patted Banlong's tail vigorously, and Hei couldn't help but let out a doubtful whisper, and Theodore got the reminder, and immediately assured: "This time I was wrong, because I was too arrogant, I said ignorance If so... Hei, do you want to eat cod?"

Speaking of this, the brown-haired mage patted the magic book in his hand heavily, and said in a decisive and resolute tone: "When I have time tomorrow, I will go fishing in the Blind Sea! You can do as much as you want!"

——I am a biology tutor at any rate. Theodore silently thought in his heart that although April and May are not the cod fishing season, he knows where is a good fishing spot, at least it is no problem to satisfy the appetite of the black dragon.

knowledge is power!

In fact, there is no loss at all. Hei, who just chased Theodore and beat him up, of course happily agreed. As for the previous unhappiness, there is nothing to eat. It became harmonious.

The matter about the dragon egg was settled. Hei returned to the water and continued his exploration of the bottom of the lake, while Joshua and Theodore walked slowly along the long track that the warrior had stepped on before. Return to the Academy of Winterhold.

"Tell me about the college."

On the way, Joshua raised the topic. He just wanted to know how the professional academy in his territory is developing recently: "Is there anything missing, and have you found any talented students? Tell me a little bit about it." .”

"What is missing is probably the tutors from other departments."

Answering Joshua's question honestly, Theodore frowned and pondered for a while, and then slowly said: "At present, almost all the tutors in the School's Mage Department are available. I, Sophia and Dill can basically teach all schools. And other tutors can also be in charge of some schools that we are not very good at, and the group of association mages who came just now will occasionally come to teach, so there is no shortage of this aspect."

"However, Wintercastle Academy does not intend to be a single mage academy, so it still needs some fighters who are good at breathing and fighting spirit, as well as mentors for knights and ranger scouts. In fact, we have already found a group not long ago. But since we are all mages, we don't really know whether it is suitable or not, maybe you need to check it out, Lord Lord."

Having said that, the brown-haired mage praised the warrior by the way: "After all, you are the strongest warrior in this land."

"That's right, that's fine."

After listening to Theodore's words, Joshua nodded slightly. His expression was calm, as if he was thinking about something: "I will review it when I have time, and now I will talk about other aspects."

"Talented students... Speaking of which, there are indeed two very good candidates."

After thinking for a while, two figures that he had seen not long ago popped up in Theodore's mind. He nodded subconsciously, and then said in an admiring tone: "Amila Makarov and Ivan Makarov, if there is anything in this academy that we and Mr. Nostradamus did not expect, it is this pair of brothers and sisters."

After speaking, he told Joshua in detail about the two children's daily efforts, as well as the talents shown in the practice of spells, the relationship between Amira's magic sensing ability and the ability to recognize the structure of runes as the younger sister. High, even surpassing the standard of ordinary silver-level mages. It was only because of lack of experience in controlling magic power that they were stuck at the level of mage apprentices.

And as the elder brother, Ivan, although his talent can only be called average, he has unexpected abilities in magical creatures and magic machines. Like Theodore, he has extremely strong spiritual power and can fight wild beasts. Communication, although this ability is sometimes ineffective due to age and experience, but as long as it is practiced, it can definitely be mastered thoroughly.

In addition, due to his strong mental power, Ivan is far better than his other classmates in controlling precise machinery, and he is also very interested in this aspect, often drawing runes by himself and designing some interesting gadgets.

"My lord, look."

As he said that, Theodore took out a strange cylindrical machine from his pocket. He smiled and said to Joshua: "This is the gadget designed by Ivan. It can run through the machine. After the calculation is turned on, the How long, although it is somewhat inaccurate, but for a teenager, it is already very remarkable."

— Timer!

"Those two children are so talented?"

Joshua couldn't help being a little surprised. Of course, he understood the meaning of the little thing in the brown-haired mage's hand: "Not to mention that the little girl is a bit too talented, but being able to independently design this kind of thing is already considered a true mechanical genius."

"That's natural."

Nodding happily, Theodore took a deep breath, his eyes were excited, and he said in a firm tone: "The two children, Ivan and Amira, usually work very hard, and all the instructors see it. They are talented and never slack off, and they are destined to achieve something in the future. These two people alone make it meaningful for us to come to the North to be mentors."

Regarding the emotion of the brown-haired mage, the soldier remained silent.

In his previous life, he had never heard of these two names.

Whether it was Amira who was destined to become a great mage in Theodore's mouth, or Ivan who had a strong talent in biology and machinery, he had never heard of it, and he had no news at all. It was not that he forgot, but that he completely does not exist.

For a warrior who remembers all the strong men worth remembering, this only means one thing, that is, in the previous life, these two people either disappeared from everyone, or died long ago, without the opportunity to grow up.

"Ivan, Amira...the two surviving children in the village attacked by the dragon."

Recalling this incident, Joshua murmured to himself softly: "Yes, maybe they died so early in their previous life, or they never had the chance to study in the academy."

"It's because of me."

indeed so.

Since Joshua traveled to this world on October 15th in Starfall 831, he has changed many things.

Because of his existence, Radcliffe, a long-established family of gatekeepers, persisted in their crumbling mission, and the future Imperial Sword Master, Brandon Chaos's wife and a pair of daughters did not die of madness of the Kuroshio.

Because of his existence, the artificial intelligence No. 3 in the world of Karlis did not die in the doomsday of collapse, and the father of nature in the world of Ilgna was not knocked into eternal sleep by the evil god of natural disasters, but fell into a short-lived state for the gods. deep sleep.

His strength is actually very strong, strong enough to influence the future of the world, enough to determine the direction of destiny, and even hold it in the palm of his hand.

Just like the brothers and sisters Ivan and Amira, who were originally unknown and even died early, they are now being watched by the tutors of the entire academy, and they must do something in the future. Joshua realized that his own existence had become a In a huge vortex, all people or things close to you will be changed from their established destiny...Everything is heading towards a completely different trajectory from the previous life.

"It's a good thing."

Under Theodore's puzzled gaze, Joshua grinned and showed a smile. His eyes were deep, as if he could see through time: "This reminds me that I should be more active...to change everything, there is no So difficult."

The two were already approaching the college. The tall and majestic towers of Winter Castle stood still, and the two flags fluttered in the cold wind, bringing a little sound to this silent world.

And Ying and Lin were standing at the gate of the academy, waiting for their master's return.
