What exactly makes this examiner who has witnessed countless incidents so serious?

The gift from the Emperor of the Empire? No, it is definitely not just that...

After taking the mahogany rune box, Joshua was not in a hurry to open it. He put the obviously extremely precious wooden box into the pocket of his shirt, but his face did not change much.

"Censor Monster, I hope you can explain in detail the causes and consequences of the matter. Your previous statement is too general. I have not received any useful information except for the spread of some kind of plague in the Black Forest."

The black-haired and red-eyed warrior stared at the green eyes of the middle-aged examiner. His tone was like cold iron, without any emotion, but very cold and hard: "And for this matter, the imperial capital can send you a letter package, and never deliberately send you who knows me... Let a high-level silver warrior stand in the snow and ice waiting for me to come back? I don't have such a big face."

"I'm also confused about this, so I don't know where to start."

Faced with Joshua's question, Monster understood the other party's doubts, so he replied very quickly. He frowned and said calmly: "Your inheritance document and title capital have been approved. It will arrive in a few days. If you have anything to hand it over to you, I don't need to go there and send it with the document... As for the ins and outs of the matter, I really don't know, but the plague is indeed very special."

“Where is the special place?”

The warrior continued to ask.

"It seems to have a source of infection, and this source... moves very quickly."

The examiner seemed to have been prepared. He took out a map and drew a curve with a black pen, explaining: "The plague first appeared near the coast of the western mountains, and then the southern black forest. The subsequent infection area drew an arc and spread rapidly towards the northeast. Now it is confirmed that it has arrived in the north."

Speaking of this, Monster showed a rare look of doubt: "The local monsters are no different from humans, but as long as they fight, they will quickly feel exhausted and easily become coma. Those with weak constitutions will cramp and have a serious illness, while those with stronger constitutions will undergo some kind of change..."

He suddenly kept silent.

Joshua looked at the middle-aged censor with a serious face and quickly discovered the reason why he stopped and said nothing. With a light and rhythmic footsteps coming to the reception room, the door was opened.

The silver-haired Miss Shenji walked in with two cups of hot tea and placed it in front of them.

"It's okay, let's talk about it, fireflies are trustworthy."

He nodded to the confusion-looking Fire, and Joshua picked up the hot tea and took a sip, saying, "I believe her, there is no need to avoid it."

"Since that's the case..." Looking at Firefly, Munster believed that the loyalty of the little girl who was in the gate and the host to her master: "Then continue - a strong creature will undergo some kind of change. Their bodies will be stained with dark purple, their eyes will be filled with blood, and black dust gas will emerge from their mouths and noses. As their strength increases greatly, they will become crazy and bloodthirsty, losing most of their rationality. Faced with an existence that can threaten them, even if they know they can't beat them, they will attack desperately until they die."

"According to what you said, this is very similar to the crazy orcs."

Hearing this, Joshua began to find it tricky. He looked at the map and said seriously: "Is this a plague? For creatures with strong enough physiques, this is obviously a forced madness."

"The Royal Disaster Observation has been confirmed. This time, it was because an object or creature was emitting some substance that could arouse bloodthirsty desires everywhere. The reason why it was called a plague is because this situation would be contagious due to the mutual attacks of creatures."

Monster also took a sip of tea and thanked Firefly. He reached out to focus on the Ural Fortress on the map, shook his head and said, "Now the aristocratic private soldiers and regular troops in various places are desperately trying to eliminate the dark tide caused by these crazy monsters. Because the incident happened suddenly, the various places suffered huge losses. Fortunately, it was discovered in time, so no fortress was captured."

Speaking of this, the middle-aged censor spoke in a gentle tone: "It is probably because of this that the imperial capital specially sent me to remind you to pay attention to this dark tide and bring His Majesty the gifts... Then again, the deputy commander of the Black Crow Forward Army, do you know what else I brought to you?"

After speaking, the middle-aged examiner showed a rare smile: "This was specially prepared by your commander and colleagues for you."

"Is that?"

Hearing this, the black-haired warrior immediately thought of something. He immediately stood up and expressed his joy: "If you really bring it here, it would be a great gift."

Monster didn't say much, he stood up, then took out two things from his waist that seemed to be models and placed on the table.

It was a model of a sword and a set of armor as big as a human finger. Although they were small, they were very fine, and were very perfect even at the smallest details.

"Since the Battle of Thomas Canyon, all your weapons and armor were damaged, and there was a change in the family territory. You didn't have time to wait for them to be reforged, so you could only ride alone back here."

Monster explained to Joshua, who was also smiling, "Now, I brought them all over... The re-shaped enchanted plate armor may not be as good as the rune armor carefully forged by the dwarf craftsmen, but this is undoubtedly one of the best extraordinary equipment."

Crude, ordinary, exquisite, extraordinary, legendary, plus special strange things and combined equipment, this is the most basic rating of equipment on the Conflict Continent. There may be subdivisions, but it is not very important.

Joshua picked up the two models on the table, and the familiar touch came, and a faint smell of blood spread. Sniffing this nostalgic smell, the black-haired warrior couldn't help but recall the thousands of days and nights he spent in the Black Crow Legion, dozens of bloody battles and the final confrontation with the orc troops... It was these two pieces of equipment that accompanied him, bathed in blood and fire, and walked the long journey.

Holding these two small models, he gently recited the secret words he had set up.

"The cold wind is gradually turning."

With this short sentence, countless runes appeared around the two tiny models. Then, light burst out, and a slight wave appeared in time and space. A huge sword blade and a set of black-haired warrior's hands suddenly appeared in the hands of the black-haired warrior.

This is a big sword that is slightly smaller than the magical mechanism transformed by fireflies, but even so, it has a length of equal height. The black armor is extremely simple, but it gives people a hard and strong feeling. You can vaguely see a circling crow covering the right shoulder with a carved pattern covering the right shoulder.

“Huh?”

A soft cry came from behind, but Joshua didn't care. He waved the weapon in his hand. Suddenly, the magic patterns on the sword flickered, and a strong wind blew out of thin air inside the room. The stone lamp made of long stone on the table was shaking, and the wooden door that was not closed was even crackling.

"How is it? This has been enchanted again based on the original wind pattern of your weapon. The same is true for armor, even better than this big sword."

Monster sorted out his coat that had been blown by the wind just now. He took out a pocket watch from his arms. After confirming the time, he nodded to Joshua and said, "With all the equipment, you should be able to be better. Although you don't know what Your Majesty gave you, I think you can help you solve the problem of the dark tide... My mission has been completed, and now you need to go back as soon as possible."

"Thank you, do you need some supplies?"

The warrior was not a person who was used to being polite. Since he saw that the other party was indeed in trouble, he thanked him without saying anything like staying for supper.

Three minutes later, Joshua sent the finished Monster out of the door and watched the other party disappear into the dark winter night.

From the beginning of the conversation to the farewell, two simple and direct men solved the problem in ten minutes.

“…Hmph, other weapons…”
Chapter completed!
