Soul of Burning Steel

Without deliberately paying attention, you can hear all the sounds within a hundred miles, and you can sense everything around you without opening your eyes. Joshua, who has already mastered the vision of vitality, can monitor every move of everyone in a city in real time as long as he wants to, but he will basically not do it because it is unnecessary.

But now, the warrior's eyes penetrated through the wooden walls and the multiple circles of the cedar castle, and looked at a certain corner of Redwood City. Joshua quietly watched the scene in the distance, and then exhaled, A pure smile appeared: "What a coincidence."

Standing up and opening the door, the casual legend left the luxurious VIP room with his two weapon siblings who were at a loss. He left the red room before all the maids and waiters, and even the two legendary elves reacted. The castle on the giant cedar tree, he flew in the air without making a sound, and then landed in the corner of a certain city that he was looking at before.

This is a well-known hotel in Redwood City. There are white garlands and colorful flags at the door, proving that a wedding is taking place here. came from the depths of the hotel.

"Hey, is there someone holding a wedding today?"

Yingying didn't care about her master's sudden action. The silver-haired girl had long been accustomed to Joshua's casualness. She looked at the garland outside the hotel and said nonchalantly, "It's really a coincidence. It seems that everyone thinks today is a happy day. .”

"Yes, indeed."

Standing at the door of the hotel, Joshua narrowed his eyes slightly. He pondered for a moment, and then strode into the hotel. The ending of the door was as indifferent as if the soldiers could not be seen at all. All their sensory organs were blocked by some strange With the interference of the power, he couldn't focus his attention and eyes on Joshua's position at all.

The warrior strode into the hotel like this, the music sounded clearer, and the cheerful sound waves of the crowd came in waves, one could hear the loud blessings of the dwarves, and the elegant singing of the elves, compared to this happening The ordinary wedding banquet in a certain corner of the city, the wedding recorded in the annals of history in the cedar castle, seemed rather deserted.

"Boss, I offer you a toast!"

This is the drunken voice of a certain dwarf. From his accent, you can hear the ecclesiastical utterance. Generally speaking, it is difficult to imagine a clergyman who is drunk and calls 'boss'. But since it's a dwarf and it's a wedding, it's not surprising.

"Okay, okay, how much have I drank... Hiccup, stop me, you people! You're drinking me like this, I, I'm about to cut my salary!"

The drunken human voice sounded, and it was easy to know that this guy who was already a little delirious was one of the protagonists of this wedding, and he could also hear that beside him, there was a rather gentle The human female voice is declining a toast for her husband: "Okay, Chris has to work tomorrow, and, are you going to let me sleep with a drunk all night? If this continues, I will be angry too."

"Oh, that's all said, then listen to sister-in-law."

Accompanied by the female voice, the other people who were booing also fell silent. It can be seen that the bride usually has a lot of prestige among this group of people. Immediately afterwards, with the sound of pounding footsteps, the bride could be heard helping the groom, who was almost unable to walk normally, back into the stage, leaving the guests to enjoy the sumptuous wedding banquet.

—Master, what are you planning to do here?

The Shenji brothers and sisters were quite puzzled at this time, and they were not surprised that Joshua left Hill's wedding banquet halfway, because the soldier had no reason to stay, and the next elf internal meeting would not be his turn. The legendary powerhouses are concerned, but even so, they will not go to the corner of Redwood City to attend an ordinary wedding.

However, before the two could open their mouths to ask questions, Joshua took another step. This time, he directly appeared in the preparation room behind the scenes.

At this time, in the room, the bride with blond hair and white gauze is holding a cup of sober tea with a gentle face, intending to feed it to the groom who can hardly keep his eyes open, because as an alchemist, he almost never touches alcohol. Things that interfere with the nerves, so the groom basically has no resistance to alcohol, but after drinking a few glasses of wine that his friends coaxed him to drink, he is almost delirious and can't speak clearly.

But even so, the bride didn't show any signs of impatience. She gently held down the groom's waving right hand, and then gently poured tea into the groom's mouth, without any sign of impatience. But just when the bride had just fed the sobering tea, let the groom fall into a deep sleep, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she found Joshua and his party suddenly appearing at the entrance of the room.

"Ah! You, who are you? Why did you suddenly appear here?"

Although she was a little panicked at first, the bride's subsequent reaction could be called calm. She quietly stood in front of the groom, and then said in as gentle a tone as possible: "Is it the wrong way? It's okay, over there It's the exit, the banquet is still going on, and there will be a performance by the Elf Band at the hotel later."

It was a one-way road leading to the preparation room, so there was no way she could go wrong, but the bride knew that this was not the time to panic and scream, so she planned to test the other party's intentions with words first, and try to paralyze the other party as much as possible.

"Is it Chris' wife? Don't worry, I have no malicious intentions."

Waving his hand slightly to show that he was not a villain, Joshua nodded appreciatively to the unknown but brave blond woman, and then he looked at Chris who seemed to have fallen asleep, without continuing to speak.

(A former acquaintance of Chris? The one who can't show up normally...)

The bride was quite uneasy at first, but after seeing that Joshua did not do anything else, she slowly felt relieved. After all, as Chris' wife, although she didn't know Chris's true identity very well, she also knew The other party ran from the northern empire to the far south because he was involved in a clan dispute among some great nobles.

She is a merchant girl that Chris met when selling medicine. Her parents died early and she boarded at her aunt's house. Although she didn't know the true identity of her lover at the beginning, she was still willing to cross half a world with him to the territory of the Far South elves, and the facts proved that her choice was not wrong, although the current Chris is nothing Rich and rich, but as a well-known pharmacist, he can also be called a party figure, enough for the two to live a happy life.

"you are pregnant."

Suddenly, Joshua spoke, and the moment the words were spoken, the bride was startled. She looked at her belly in surprise, touched it subconsciously, and then turned her head to look at the sleeping belly. Chris involuntarily showed a joyful expression—although she didn't know why the man in front of her, who she dared not look directly at, could tell the fact that she was pregnant so conclusively, but the bride was willing to believe it .

"I really passed out, hmph, I can't drink enough, it's embarrassing to my family. When my cheap uncle was young, he was able to drink a few barrels with cheap daddy. He couldn't even compare to the maid."

With a sneer, Joshua stepped forward and approached Chris. He didn't pay attention to the bride who became alert again, and his eyes were always on his cousin—of course, he occasionally glanced at the bride's belly . The soldier was silent for a long time, and then let out a chuckle: "But it's not bad, for you, this may be the perfect choice."

The bride originally wanted to stop Joshua from approaching, but a gentle force prevented her from approaching the warrior. After feeling emotional, Joshua Brick looked at the blond lady with light freckles on her face. She can't be called stunning and beautiful, but she is pretty and cute enough. Seeing that she couldn't stop Joshua's actions, this embarrassed lady gave up secretly trying to stop her, and instead used precautions quite directly. Asked in a calm tone: "You... who the hell are you? Do you have anything to do with my husband?"

Although he doesn't have any extraordinary power, in Mycroft Continent, everyone knows the magic of magic battle energy and holy light. The bride can't judge Joshua's strength, but she knows that the person in front of her should be her husband. The adventurer team is absolutely unmatched by the big shots, and there is absolutely no chance of winning a frontal conflict.

But she still dared to stand up and face it instead of shivering and being an ostrich.

"It's nothing... just a little dissatisfied with him. It's too much to hide the birth of the family blood."

Instead of staring at Chris who passed out from drunk, Joshua turned his gaze to the bride who was frowning and thinking, and asked, "Ma'am, what's your name?"

"Me? My name is Sophie...but now, it's Sophie Chris."

Although she was a little nervous at the beginning, after speaking, Sophie's words were full of gentle love. Through Joshua's previous actions and answers, she could see that although Joshua acted strangely and his strength was unknown, he did There is no malice, it seems... is still a relative of Chris's previous family. So Sophie asked again quite curiously: "Excuse me, sir, do you have anything to do with my husband and me? Could it be... is there any trouble with the previous family?"

"There is no trouble. As for the matter, there was no trouble at first, but now there is."

Looking down, Joshua looked at Sophie's belly, he sighed slightly, and then showed a faint smile: "Just treat me as a mysterious person who came uninvited. Appearing in front of you again—as for the purpose, this time, it is to give you blessings.”

"Listen, you weakling who abandons the family without authorization, hides your name without saying a word, ignores the responsibility of your own blood, your crime is no less than your father, at least he dares to stand up and fight for power with me, and you just want to To run away."

Stretching out his hand, there was a silver light flashing in the center of the palm. Joshua didn't pay attention to the nervous Sophie, and pointed his palm at the bride's belly. The soldier said in a soft voice that no one could hear except himself. : "But even so...the little guy who hasn't been born yet."

"The mission of the Radcliffe family has been completed in my hands. You don't need to be a destined warrior, nor do you need to be born with the mission of eradicating chaos. You just need to be a healthy person and choose your own future path."

"Bless you, new generation."

The silver light flashed, and submerged into her lower abdomen under Sophie's surprised eyes. Naturally, she didn't feel anything, but she felt that her tired body was suddenly full of vitality.

Withdrawing his hand, Joshua bent down and patted the sleepy Chris on the shoulder. Then, as he appeared, under Sophie's wide-eyed gaze, he disappeared into the room with Hotaru and Rin in an instant. , as if it had never been there.

People who live for war don't really know what blessings are.

But at least, he can let those who want to live in peace, be able to live in peace.

This may be the greatest blessing.
