Chapter 11 Is it a disease to be so active in intrigue?
The female stalker with long dark gray hair did not deliberately cover her appearance. It was a slightly gloomy girl face. She was not old and the leather armor covered with glossy powder was covered with glossy, looking a little embarrassed. She seemed to be surprised by the discovery of perfect sneak and a little absent-minded. So when facing Joshua's inquiry, she just subconsciously said nervously: "Where does the smell on me have a heavy body?!"
“…Answer my question!”
"Ah!" Reflecting on what she said, and while embarrassing, the female stalker immediately understood the current situation. She looked at the warrior who looked cold and had a terrifying aura on her body. She suddenly shuddered and said quickly: "This, I just want to come over and see if you are the Joshua of the Radcliffe family..."
While talking, facing Joshua who was pressing step by step, she panickedly observed the surroundings, but there was no condition in the narrow alley that could make her escape. In addition, unlike the silent person, she was too close to Joshua, and her body was covered with alchemy dust. She could not forcefully leave. She immediately gave up the idea of escaping with a frustration.
"Yes, I am." One hand was pressed on the shoulder of the female stalker. Joshua thought about it and decided not to choke his neck: "Now tell me your name and origin, don't lie, by the way, your scabbard should be newly bought, and the leather smell is too strong."
"So there is something wrong here..." muttered, feeling the power contained in the hand on his shoulder. After weighing the trade-offs, the gray-haired woman simply decided to give up hiding it. She said readily: "My name is Nolan Wilson, come here..."
"Wilson!"
Hearing this name, Chris, who was standing beside him, pushed his glasses and gasped and interrupted: "Are you from the Wilson family? Yes, I should have guessed this color! Gray hair, purple eyes, and this lifeless expression!"
"Wilson's?" After hearing what Chris said, Joshua's face remained unchanged, and he seemed not surprised - just now he met his enemy's son, and now he is not surprised to meet another enemy's family member.
He looked at Nolan, his palms gradually tightened, and he said in a deep voice, "As an enemy, I dare to appear in front of me like this. I admire your courage - I think you should have prepared accordingly, right?"
"Wait! Don't kill someone if you disagree! Although I belong to the Wilson family, I am not from the same group of people!" Feeling the gradual increase of the shoulders, as if I was going to crush her shoulder blades, the girl named Nolan finally got the calmness and reaction ability that a stalker should have. Under the threat of life, she spoke concise and powerfully, and spoke clearly: "Like that alchemist, I did not come here to seize the property of your family. On the contrary, I am here to find whether there is any opportunity to destroy this plan!"
"Ha, it's funny. At least half an hour wasted today on the stupid thing of listening to you and Chris say, 'I'm not the same group'."
Even though he said this, Joshua no longer tightened his palms. He could see that the woman in front of him was unnecessary and did not lie, so he raised his chin slightly and asked directly: "Chris doesn't want to be a noble in the north and be a puppet for others. As a vested interest, why should you oppose your family's actions?"
"Enterprise." Nolan felt that Joshua was not going to kill her directly, so he breathed a sigh of relief, but she still did not dare to slow down the speed of explanation: "This action is the result of my elder brother's arbitrary behavior. The family's senior management is currently maintaining a wait-and-see neutral attitude. If it continues, I don't care. But now there are too many variables. Continuing the action will only damage my interests, so we must find an opportunity to destroy it."
"What benefits?"
"My branch, half of the industry, is in Moldavia, and it is in chaos here and has a great impact on my future plans."
“What is the goal?”
The two of them asked and answered each other, and the whole process was not even two minutes. Watching the extremely fast questioning in front of them, Chris vaguely felt that the girl in front of him seemed to be similar to hers. It seemed that under the threat of absolute violence, people's words would become concise and powerful.
Nolan was still answering, "Kill my elder brother - so I must be on your side. Please, can you let go of your hand now? My shoulders are about to break..."
"...I don't know why I have no feeling about this kind of news, you continue."
It was the family dispute again, frowning, Joshua looked a little stomachache, and the intrigue between the nobles really upset him. Can't he simply pick up the knife and do something? The warrior sighed, and amid Nolan's soft cry, he let go, and said: "It's obvious that it is more beneficial to support a Count of Winter who is pro-Wilson's family to take the lead. Why do your family's senior officials still wait and see?"
"People have their own demands, and it is impossible for a family to unify their thinking, let alone a big family." The gray-haired stalker twisted his shoulders and felt a scorching pain on his shoulders. She dared not ignore Joshua's problem: "What's more, people like Danlia may not necessarily kiss the Wilson family after they take over the throne. In fact, this time, at most, it is just to take advantage of the civil strife of the Rado Cliff family to seize the market. It is impossible to annex or control it. The power of an Earl's leader is not so easy to leverage."
"Even if the lord is a fool, the knights below are not vegetarian." Nolan said this with a serious look: "And if we initiate a noble war, then the noble court will have an excuse to intervene - violating the legal order, which is to fight against the empire and the emperor. Only my elder brother desperately accumulates reputation for the position of the family heir will ignore this and do such a traitor."
"So that's it." Joshua thought for a while and said, "Why do you want to kill your brother... Forget it, it must be something like inheritance, it's better not to say it."
Shaking his head, he decisively interrupted the topic: "Since that's the case, it's not too late. I'm going to kill that uncle and destroy the Wilson family's plans. If you are willing to follow, come here."
"Wait, are you planning to go to the Lord's Mansion so directly?"
Seeing that Joshua seemed to be ready to walk towards the Lord's Mansion without saying a word, Nolan and Chris were immediately startled, and they all spoke out and persuaded, "Make a little plan?"
"I don't have time. This time I entered the city openly and made a fierce attack, preparing to conduct an assault beheading. I had enough time, but I wasted a lot because of you and the Silent." Without stopping, Joshua had already walked to the end of the alley. He turned around and said, "The Silent must have gone to inform other soldiers and knights. Now is the time to seize the time, otherwise the longer the defense and stricter the defense, the harder my goal will be achieved, let alone you."
"Joshya, I know you are very strong. You are a warrior who has achieved hundreds of kills on the orc battlefield, but you need at least a weapon, right?!"
Nolan continued to try to dissuade her, and she expressed her sincere expression: "There are more than ten silver guards in the Lord's Mansion. After being attacked, other silver knights will also come in less than five minutes. It is impossible to successfully raid without a handy weapon. What's more, there is a definite news that my elder brother will arrive in Moldavia today. He is a golden-level strongman. No matter how strong you are, you can't defeat him!"
"Golden level?"
Hearing this word, Joshua couldn't help but stop and turn to look at Nolan. The gray-haired girl's expression was not like a fake. He couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "It's a bit tricky, are you sure it's today?"
After all, Joshua was a former legendary warrior and knew very well how big the gap between gold and silver was.
Let me put it this way, if you give him a full set of armor and weapons, Joshua thought he could walk back and forth under the attack of dozens of silver, and he would be able to escape even if he couldn't. But if there was a gold on the other side, it would basically be like having wings, even with Joshua's strength.
This is the continent of Mycrov, a different world full of conflicts and wars. Adult men have black iron ranks, with greater strength than ordinary oxen, and their physique is comparable to knights on the real earth. The silver knight can basically be equivalent to human-shaped self-propelled cannons. They are wearing armor and are like human tanks. The golden-level powerful man who can fly freely has the destructive power to be no less than a sound bomber that can airdrop bombs indefinitely.
"Yes, the Golden Level, I don't know the specific time, but it will definitely arrive today."
After Nolan finished speaking with great certainty, Chris, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but interrupt, "No matter what, cousin, I think you should go to the Black Forest Fortress to summon your family knights and lead a large group of troops to crush them head-on. Even the strong gold is not afraid to face the charge of hundreds of silver knights."
"..." Joshua's brows stood up, his eyes were very intimidating.
Chris is right. According to common sense, he should not be so impulsive. He forced himself into the city to execute the beheading plan. Although killing that cheap uncle will automatically become the only successor of Moldavia, the lord of this land, the old housekeeper will also tell him the truth - but his current strength is only silver level, and the risk of doing so is too great.
But Joshua is not an ordinary person, and the warrior does not need to follow common sense.
Calling out the attribute version, Joshua looked at his level.
【LV28·Silver (Challenge Level LV29·Silver)】
【4730/5400】
"It's a little bit too late."
He murmured to himself, Joshua began to calculate quickly in his heart. He was still a little bit more experience now and could upgrade from level 28 to level 29, which is not far from the Golden Level.
If he could knock down all the hostile targets in this city, the experience he gained would definitely be able to upgrade him to one or two levels and enter the golden realm - at that time, Joshua, who could use various powerful skills in his mind, would be just a gold, even if four or five were there at the same time, it would be just a delivery of food for him.
"You don't need to say more, I have... what?!"
Just as Joshua made up his mind and was about to set out to move towards the Lord's Mansion, he suddenly felt a burning pain coming from his right wrist.
This was a burning heat like a soldering iron seal, which was as deep as a touch of iron. Under this sudden attack, even Qiao Xiuya couldn't stand it. He held the wrist of his right hand tightly with his left hand, and cold sweat was left from his forehead. After a muffled groan, Qiao Xiuya was slightly shocked and angry: "What's going on?!"
"call--"
It seemed like the wind, or light, and there was a light and ethereal strange sound in my ears. The magic power in the atmosphere condensed into a translucent silver light that could be seen. It tumbling up, and then it poured into Joshua's right wrist like a river flowing into the sea.
Under his surprised gaze, a trace of coolness suddenly surged into his wrist, and as the coolness expanded, a series of wonderful runes like tattoos appeared out of thin air on his wrist and back. They were extremely complex, and each flash was completely different in shape. As the last slight heat and coolness disappeared, these runes were finally fixed as the image of a giant sword with two hands wrapped around a long black snake.
