Chapter 13 I Always Feel that I Can Level up by Drawing a Sword
Joshua stared at the strange tattoo that suddenly appeared on his right hand, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
Looking through the past memories in his brain, it didn't take long for him to remember.
"Fan..." muttering to himself, Joshua's eyes seemed to span the distance. When he met the old housekeeper not long ago, he had carefully looked at the old man's old hands, and on the back of Fan's hands, there were also A different but very similar tattoo!
"At that time, I paid too much attention to the unreasonable aging and didn't pay attention to other aspects."
Although he found the source of the familiarity, it didn't help the current situation. Joshua touched the tattoo on the back of his hand suspiciously, but he didn't know why it appeared or what it meant.
"Joshua, what's wrong with you?"
The previous series of changes actually happened within a few seconds. Chris and Nolan only saw Joshua suddenly press his wrist, and then let out a muffled grunt. They didn't notice the abnormal movement of the magic power. They hurried forward and asked : "Were you injured in the previous battle?"
"No, not at all." Shaking his head and replying, Joshua moved his wrist and felt in good condition. The burning and cooling sensations before were all fake. Except for an extra tattoo, he did not leave any sequelae. Nor was it weakened.
"If you're not in good shape, don't force it. I have a secret safe house in the city where I can rest quietly."
Still a little worried about Joshua's state. As a silver-ranked stalker, Nolan's observation ability is much better than that of an alchemist like Chris. She could see that the soldier in front of her was a little confused. It’s not false. In order to show sincerity, Nolan said seriously: “I only need to wait a day, and I can mobilize people to provide you with a complete set of armor and weapons. There are basic guarantees for doing other things.”
But Joshua was taken aback.
It wasn't because he was going to agree to Nolan's proposal. Although the gray-haired stalker's idea was very good and very reasonable, he wasn't going to do it. He was dazed because of another thing.
Just when Nolan said the word 'weapon', the tattoo on the back of Joshua's hand suddenly became hot for a moment, and he suddenly recalled an extremely important thing!
"That's right! Not only the tattoo on the back of the old butler's hand, but also the family crest of the Radcliffe family!"
It is too common to be easily overlooked. Joshua took out a pocket watch that he kept in his inner pocket. The time on it showed that it was 6:30 in the morning, and more importantly, there was an engraving on its back Formed, an extremely fine coat of arms.
One hand holds up a sword, and the snake entwines the two together like a chain.
"It's exactly the same..." Joshua is not in a hurry to go to the Lord's Mansion now, he lowered his brows, looked at his family's coat of arms, and began to think: "Is there any meaning—wait a minute!"
What happened recently was run through by a line, Joshua's eyes widened, and he suddenly said, "So that's how it is!"
"Fan once said, 'Qualification is not some kind of illusory title, but a real object'. Although this tattoo is not an object, it is what I had before, and I didn't have it."
The logic was gradually clarified, and he didn't care about Chris and Nolan who looked puzzled beside him, and said to himself: "If you don't know, I already know that he is a magic weapon, so it's easy to infer next--the weapon on the tattoo It represents the divine machine, and the hand holding them on the family emblem is the family head of the past, that is, the person who has the qualifications!"
"The so-called qualification is to possess a magic machine!"
The logic is very clear and simple, as long as you know enough information, even a child can figure it out, but after all, Joshua has not traveled for a long time, and there is no way to recall it in such detail, so it took so long, but he has not waited for him to be happy , the tattoo on the back of the hand once again showed a fiery strange feeling.
Different from the previous pain, this time it was like soaking in warm water at most, but it was a bit more comfortable. Besides the warm feeling, Joshua felt that the tattoo seemed to be guiding him to a certain place.
(I don't know where Master kept it, but you should know.)
Joshua nodded slightly as the words the old housekeeper once said echoed in his mind: "Indeed, I should know..."
Taking a deep breath, and then exhaling, the white mist brought by the warm water vapor gradually dissipated in the windless alley, Joshua's face returned to calm, he turned to look at Chris, with an irresistible The tone said: "You, follow Nolan to the safe house."
Then, facing the gray-haired girl again, he said, "You take him away, and what rank is your brother in gold?"
Nolan was taken aback by Joshua's tone, she thought that the soldier in front of her was about to turn against him, but she didn't expect that she was just asking her to take someone to the safe house and ask for information, so she immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "No problem, as for me That eldest brother is naturally a golden beginner, he is only twenty-nine years old and has just broken through, so how could he be an intermediate."
"There is no problem." Joshua nodded, and then walked out of the alley without the slightest hesitation: "Now, you just need to stay well, and you will hear good news tomorrow, especially you, Nolan, and I I am very interested in the branch behind you, and there may be opportunities to cooperate in the future."
"……yes!"
Although they still wanted to dissuade them, they didn't know how to speak, and Joshua's actions were too fast, so the two had no choice but to respond, watching him leave quickly and disappear into the street.
After leaving the alley, the soldier did not stop. It has been half an hour since he broke through the city gate and met Chris, the Silent Warrior and Nolan. According to experience, this much time is enough for the main force of the enemy to retreat. , Now they are probably searching near the city gate and the Lord's Mansion, but it is not so fast to start a large-scale search across the city.
Now that he has lost the opportunity to make a direct surprise attack, Joshua is not in a hurry. He is going to follow the guidance of the tattoo on the back of his hand to see what is going on.
The main city of Moldavia is his hometown, where he grew up and lived for more than ten years. From the residential area to the forge, from the commercial street to the barracks, Joshua is very familiar with every inch of the land here.
After bypassing several blocks with the sound of military footsteps, Joshua took alleys and shortcuts, and quickly moved towards the goal guided by the tattoo.
"It's almost there." The fiery feeling on his wrist became more and more intense, and Joshua had already arrived at the western end of the city, next to a church.
Behind the church is a large cemetery. Iron railings prevent ordinary people from entering, but they allow people to see these towering tombstones.
This is the Soldiers Cemetery.
Not everyone can be buried in the backyard of the church and be blessed by people. Only the warriors who fought against monsters, monsters and the Kuroshio in order to protect the city can be buried here in the prayers of the city residents. The reason why they don’t use bricks , but surrounded the cemetery with iron railings, just to let everyone see these soldiers who died for everyone.
[Glory belongs to the warriors who fulfilled their responsibilities, and they are buried here. 】
A stone tablet was erected at the door of the church, on which such a sentence was poured with molten iron.
Nodding slightly to show respect, Joshua quickly walked into it.
This is a Gothic church. The towering steeple bell tower is a bit dilapidated, but the gate is still strong. After opening the door and stepping in, Joshua did not find the priest and nun. This is normal, because there is a more In the big church, the priests basically lived there. There were a few tomb guard knights who stayed here, and they must have been driven away by Danlia.
And the group of Danlia didn't even have enough manpower to patrol the city, so why would they send people to guard this somewhat old church?
"The feeling of guidance on the back of the hand has disappeared, it seems that this is the destination"
