"Come in."

Accompanied by the sound of pushing the door, the study door opened, and the groom from Beppu appeared behind the door.

The ordinary-looking stuttering man with short chestnut hair first respectfully paid homage to Joshua, and then began to describe the reason why he came here with a blaming face. The guy stuttered and gestured with his hands. It took several minutes to explain the matter - in short, for some reason, in the stable, Joshua's dragon-blooded war horse [Black] suddenly refused to eat feed and drove everyone out of the stable irritably.

"Sir, roughly, that's the case."

The stuttering groom with mud and horseshoe prints on his body was tormenting, which could be seen from the expressions of Joshua and Ying: "Now, in the black, in the horse, the stable, and the steps were repeated, but I refused to eat, sir, you..."

"Okay, I understand."

He immediately raised his hand to stop the groom from continuing to speak. Joshua stood up with a serious expression: "You go change your clothes first, I'll check the situation now... Ying, should you continue to rest for a while, or go out with me?"

After hesitating for a while, although he wanted to go with the warrior to see what happened to Hei, Ying felt that his head was still messy, and it seemed that a lot of information flowed through his mind, but no trace was left.

"Forget it, you stay here first."

It was obvious that his divine machine seemed to be feeling a little uncomfortable, so Joshua ordered: "If you want to sleep, go back to the room and lie for a while."

He added: "This is an order."

"……Um."

Seeing the silver-haired girl agreeing, Joshua nodded with satisfaction, and then he stepped out of the study and walked towards the stable outside the room.

The stable was not far from Beppu, and soon the soldiers came to this building made of grey pine wood in the north. It was evening, the sun was about to set and the snow had not subsided, and the creaking sound of foot stepping on the ice and snow. Before he could enter, Joshua heard a irritable long hissing and the sound of something being smashed.

"It seems that he is really angry."

He whispered to himself, and he stepped into the stable. Joshua glanced at him and saw fragments of wood all over the ground. The tall black dragon-blooded war horse was walking back and forth in this small space. Its eyes were red due to bloodshotness, and it would make a long niggle from time to time, then shook its head and tail, and then it would mess up the surrounding things.

But what is strange is that even though he was so irritable and angry, the increasingly violent temperament of the war horse gradually faded when he saw Joshua. Even when the warrior reached out to touch its head, the fierce horse that directly smashed the fence and the stable door actually stretched out his tongue and licked his hand.

"Very well-behaved."

Giothia looked around with some confusion as he followed the hair on his neck, and if he hadn't clearly known that the wood chips and fences were the good things this guy did in front of him, no one would have believed that this gentle horse would have done such a thing.

"Why were you angry before?"

He asked to himself, and then tried to use Dou Qi to detect the inside of Hei's body. The warrior did not find anything wrong. Although its vitality was extremely strong, this was not an abnormality, but the effect of dragon blood. When Qiao Xiuya rode Hei all the way back to the north from the Orc Canyon in the Northwest Plain, he ran around for seventeen days and nights without rest. Hei did not look any obvious tired. The hot dragon blood provided it with a steady stream of power.

This is still ordinary. Some creatures with thicker dragon blood concentration can even get the same ability as dolphins, with half of their brains awake and half of their brains. According to common sense, creatures of that level will never have real sleep in this life.

The fighting spirit was not effective, and Qiao Xiuya used the system to read the situation of his war horse again - the abnormally detailed data report flushed the screen, but there was no abnormal data. However, according to the system, the warrior was surprised to find that it seemed that because he accompanied the warriors to fight many times and after several battles, the level of black was increased by several levels. Now he can be regarded as a powerful mount in the middle level of silver!

"It actually meets the conditions for blood purification. I didn't expect you to be very talented."

Touching the body of his war horse, the strong muscles and strong body made the warrior very satisfied: "Very good. The stronger you are, the stronger my strength will be. As long as you can withstand my strength, my combat power on the horse's back will also increase rapidly. You also need to work harder. When you reach the advanced level of silver, you will give you a surprise."

"Xilulu!"

Hei seemed to be able to understand human words and responded excitedly.

This is not a random talk. Qiao Xiuya knows several ways to purify blood. As long as he finds some powerful auxiliary materials, he can purify the dragon blood in the black body or other reasons, and even break through the golden realm.

Let’s not talk about anything else, a golden mount is really one of the most luxurious things in the world.

At this time, the groom had already changed his clothes and rushed over. When he entered the stable and saw Hei Wenren neighing under Joshua like a kitten, the man suddenly opened his eyes wide and his face was incredible.

Too bad, he took the thirty-two-year life as a vow. When the horse snatched his chest with one hoof, his expression was completely different!

"Oh, you're here."

After patting the black head, Joshua turned his head and said to the groom, "It seems like he was tantrums before, or because of his improvement in strength, he was a little overly energetic... In short, you can see if you have any physical discomfort. If you are injured, you will get a healing fee first."

"It's not big, but people just have it. It's just a little pain. After all, there are so many horses that have been trained."

The groom stammered.

"Then let's prepare the feed first."

Shrugged, the soldier looked at the manger that was kicked over to the ground and said, "Prepare more meat, I can see that it is no longer eating grass."

After confirming that there was nothing abnormal, Joshua returned to the study and continued to process other documents.

But the warrior didn't notice one thing... His passive skill [Purification of Light] was actually activated once before entering the stable and expelled something.

Hei stopped in the stable and ate the carefully prepared animal meat feed. A trace of red and golden light flashed in his eyes occasionally, releasing a wave of pressure, but then the red and golden color disappeared immediately.

The sound of saying something strange in its ears had disappeared, and the restless blood power in its body became calm under the soothing of Joshua. It was finally able to calm down and eat something.

Well, the sides of my head seemed a little itchy, and I felt something was about to grow out soon...

...Time passes, and a few more days pass in a blink of an eye.

There is nothing worth caring about in the main city in winter. After dealing with the accumulated government affairs, Joshua became leisurely and rarely found himself free.

On December 31, 19831, the day before the New Year, another heavy snow fell from the sky.

Walking out of the church and standing among the flying snowflakes, Joshua looked in a pretty good mood.

Perhaps because of the system or the increase in self-healing power brought by the steel armor breathing method, the injury on his left arm healed faster than the old priest imagined. He did not need to rest for a month or two, and it only took about two or three weeks to completely heal. The skeletons had all grown. What is waiting for is the Dou Qi gradually strengthening these newborn bones and returning to the strength that the golden warrior should have.

Although it was snowing on the street, many people were busy running around.

The north is too cold. Judging from the current weather, the body temperature is at least minus 30 to 40 degrees Celsius under the wind. This temperature makes it impossible for the New Year to hold a large-scale celebration. However, even so, everyone will hold banquets at home and spend the New Year with their family and friends. Even single people will gather together and celebrate the last night of the year.

Cut pine wood is continuously transported from the city gate and distributed to every family. As a model of ever-growing leaves, the northern holly pine means "long-term peace and happiness". Using it to decorate the New Year banquet is a custom of the people in the northern world for many years.

"It's time to prepare."

Before I knew it, I was about to usher in the first New Year after my time travel. Joshua couldn't help but smile: "If the memory is right, then as a lord, I need to do something during the New Year."

Looking around this city of his own, his eyes seemed to penetrate the rock walls. Seeing every blazing fire of life, the warrior nodded with satisfaction and then walked towards Beppu in the west of the city.

He wants to call Ying for this matter.

——And the new year is coming soon.
