Soul of Burning Steel

Charm and looks are not actually linked.

Strictly speaking, charm is more a kind of instinctive affinity than what is actually said to be human appearance. Charismatic people can easily get the favor of outsiders or animals, and can easily make beasts obedient and easier. Get help from strangers.

The charm of ordinary people is about a dozen or so. If it exceeds twenty, it is considered outstanding. If it exceeds fifty, it even has some extraordinary function. It can be called a natural charm. Most of the beauties who can keep a name in history are This level.

But if you want to be higher, you can't do it with pure beauty and charm... It must have the blood of a fairy or a succubus, containing magic and other supernatural elements.

And the charm of negative value, sometimes does not mean that this person is disgusting, but a very majestic expression.

Although you will also have trust, but at first glance, what you think of is not worship, but awe. This is the difference between positive charm and negative charm. Generally speaking, the charm of negative value is almost equal to twenty points. The above is full of majesty, and people with less courage will even be shocked at a glance. At higher levels, this majesty can even be transformed into supernatural abilities, such as the fear aura common to lower creatures such as the fear of heart. .

Even so, I have to mention that even if it is a terrorist executioner who has left a name in history and slaughtered murderous generals in several cities, their charm is nothing more than a negative fifty or so.

And the number hanging on the Joshua character card was enough to make a crowd of murderous people feel ashamed and willing to go down.

Negative two hundred and nine.

This has indeed fallen below the lowest limit that can be recorded in history, and has reached a new realm. Even a person like Joshua who is calm and calm is shocked and took a breath after seeing this number. Angrily, the soldier couldn't understand how this was done.

However, he calmed down immediately, paused slightly, and Joshua's gaze was condensed, and then he began to quickly search for his own achievement table and character characteristics table. There is no doubt that it must be this time in the world of Ilgna. His adventures have unpredictable consequences for his charm.

[Mechanical Killer] [Puppet Destroyer] [Enemies of Constructed Creatures], a series of achievements have been swept away, [Behemoth Hunter] [One Hit Hundred Kills] [The Man of God Falling] has nothing to do with charm, And [turn the tide] [world savior] and the like are achievements that add charm. After reading it roughly, Joshua frowned, because he found that not only his charm was not lacking, but he added more than 50 points because of his achievements. .

Where did the minus two hundred and nine come from? !

Continuing to look down, the soldier finally saw two new inconspicuous states at an edge of his character.

[Nature looks]

[It is not a face that ordinary people can have, but a face with divine nature. Those who possess this characteristic must be divine and possess a certain degree of divine majesty. Charisma +100. 】

【——The face of God is shrouded in light, invisible to ordinary people. This is not to cover up for mystery, but to protect it. 】

[Breath of Chaos]

[Perhaps during the adventure, some ancient seals were opened, or some vicious curses were encountered when fighting the enemy. Now the power of chaos is entangled in your body, which will cause some unpredictable consequences. Charm related judgments are calculated inverted. 】

【——The fear and disgust of others, the eternal loneliness they bring will be like a tarsal maggot, which will make you unable to escape. 】

"……call."

Taking a deep breath, and then spit it out, Joshua closed his eyes, clenched his fists, his arms were full of violent veins, the warrior tried to calm himself down, and he found his charm. Negative 200 Nine reasons.

The achievements of various saviors add up to a total of more than 50 charisma bonus points, and the divine power blessing of the Father of Nature gives his body a part of the divinity and increases the charm. It stands to reason that his current charm should be positive. The number is very high, but everything is destroyed by the last breath of chaos.

Just as the divine power of the Father of Nature gave his body divine power, the power of the evil **** of natural disasters was attached to him due to the final battle, reversing the effect of the blessing, and at this moment the warrior was originally low to horror. The charm has worsened, breaking through the lower limit all the way and reaching where it is today.

The acquaintances are okay, Ying and Rin will not say, Loranda and Father Atanis are both strong and familiar with him, so the change in charm has little effect, but if a stranger sees him, Joshua has no doubt The opponent will be directly scared and faint. In fact, his majesty alone is probably more terrifying than the dragon's dragon power. If his strength is not gold, just seeing the face of the warrior should be in a shocking illusion.

"...Forget it, it's useless to think about it."

Giving up on thinking about things that became more annoying, Joshua didn't care about his charms for the time being. He turned his head and looked at his right hand, and then focused his attention on the things he was holding tightly.

What is held tightly in this hand is a certain authority granted by Ilgna's World Will. He doesn't know what it is, but instinctively tells Joshua that this is probably related to the magical projection of No. 3 he can touch.

Open the palm, the square metal block that is silver as steel and shining like stars reveals its shape, and it has a light gray radiant rotation around it, like the halo of a comet.

"Identification."

The soldier issued a short order, and a large swath of data suddenly appeared on the screen.

[Shards of Residual Steel]

[...In the identification of items... the origin knowledge judgment failed, the strange object knowledge judgment failed, and the world knowledge judgment succeeded. 】

[Appraisal report: Fragments of residual steel, God-given wonders]

[Origin: At the beginning of the world, the realm between life was not so clearly divided. The soul and matter were actually one, and the steel fragments were the product of that time. 】

[Wonderful things: In the beginning of all things, there are many giant beasts of the primordial age wandering in the world. They are pure incarnations of steel, the first life, and their bodies have the purest life aggregation. 】

[World: It is said that all kinds of elemental life are the products of the creator's experiment on life. The existence of these souls and bodies is the proof of the blending of steel and fire. The debris of residual steel contains the life force of the beginning. This Objects can give the holder a mysterious ability. In front of the holder, the boundary between the soul and the material disappears. He can touch the spiritual body freely, and he can also give life to the material at a certain price. This is close to creation. The authority of the world. 】

[Comprehensive: The shards of steel that contain the power of authority, although they have entities, are actually some kind of conceptual existence, except for the holder, others are invisible. 】

"Isn't this exactly the same as the shards of burning steel?"

With a raised eyebrow, Joshua was not surprised by the effect of the residual steel fragments. He had guessed a little from the point that he could touch the magic projection of No. 3-what the soldier had touched before was not magic, and It is the soul of an artificial intelligence girl.

Since returning from the world of Karlis last time, he has put the burning steel fragments in the secret vault, and has not taken it out for research. When there is time next time, Joshua plans to take these two things out for comparison and study. A moment, but now, he has no energy to analyze these mysterious and infinite mystery gadgets.

Putting the scraps of residual steel into the pocket of the pajamas, Joshua sat back on the bed, and then closed his eyes. Although in the eyes of others, he had been asleep for three days, but in fact, Joshua was just in a illusion. , From start to finish, he never rested well.

But now, in his own territory, in his own home, and in his own bed, the soldier can finally get a good night's sleep.

...

Early the next morning.

Joshua, Rin and others left the lord's mansion, ready to visit Bishop Atanis and the Paladin Loranda.

When the soldiers were sleeping, the two had been trying their best to wake him up. Although it was useless, they had to go and thank them just for this purpose.

Moreover, there are some things Joshua wants to ask the old priest and the paladin, and this matter is more difficult to tell, so it must be told in person.

The spring morning is always a little wet, and there is a lot of dew on the closed pyroxene lamps, and the soldiers walked on the wet bluestone avenue with Ying and Rin. Because it is early morning, the pedestrians on the street are not Many, although the combination of the three is conspicuous, it still doesn't attract much attention.

Most people are still preparing today’s breakfast in the house. Only a few adventurers are preparing this equipment in the compound, preparing to set off, and go hunting for beasts in the Great Aes Mountains, or exploring unknown areas. Although these people saw I missed Joshua and his party, but most of them just took a rough glance without paying attention. In addition, the soldier wore a wide boat hat, and the shadow covered his face, so the charm of minus 209 did not trigger anything. panic.

Not long after, everyone came to the cathedral in the square. There is no one on the main city square today. You can only see a few patrolling city guards walking back and forth. They also glanced at the adventurers and just took a cursory look. At first glance at the trio, they didn't continue to pay attention. Some of the people who have good memories saw Ying and Rin's identity clearly, guessing the identity of the man who covered his face, and their pace of patrolling suddenly became stronger.

Not paying attention to the behavior of the guards patrolling the city around him, Joshua looked up and looked at St. Laurent’s Cathedral. The warrior frowned slightly, because just now, he felt the black holy emblem on the top of the church gleam, but that The light flickered, as if it were an illusion.

"...Go knock on the door."

Turning his head and beckoning Rin to come forward and knock on the door, Joshua didn't think what he saw was an illusion, but he just remembered this weird situation in his heart, and the soldier instructed: "Just say I'm here."

"Yes Master."

The black-haired boy walked quickly to the door of the church.

And behind the door, Paladin Tunan heard a knock on the door.

"Strange, why would anyone come today, still so early?"

He stood up from the guard room and walked towards the gate. Tunan wondered in his heart that Saint Laurent does not hold prayers or church activities today. Why would someone knock on the door so early? You know, now in spring, most believers have their own business to be busy. There are no urgent matters or church requirements, and no one has time to come to church.

"coming."

No matter how strange the knight felt, he still had to fulfill his responsibilities. He walked quickly to the door and opened it.

then.

He saw the incarnation of fear.

The morning sun should have been shining, but the light was taken away by a human figure wearing a black coat in an instant. Tunan's vision became dark in an instant, leaving only the one who seemed to stand in this shadow. Human form.

This humanoid head wears a trapezoidal ship hat with a weird color, so that the entire face is covered in the shadow, and in the shadow, you can see two blood-red points of light flickering, between the light and the dark, Coming infinitely oppressive.

The human form seemed to make some movement, but the paladin was completely unable to react at this time. All his spirits were attracted by the opponent’s black coat—even though the piece of black seemed to be the color of ordinary leather, it followed The constant gaze became as deep as the deep sea, with no way to see the bottom, and the more you gaze, the darker it makes you feel creepy, as if you are in an endless void, lonely.

Forcing himself to pull his gaze out of the darkness, Tunan found desperately that he could not get rid of this vortex of fear at all. He knelt down involuntarily, and the paladin’s forehead was covered with dense drops of sweat, as if he saw something. The bones of some huge creature swam through this darkness, bringing a deep hum.

The darkness shook for a while, and then disappeared, replaced by the completely invisible human figure~www.novelmtl.com~Tunan can see with the only remaining reason that the other party seems to reach out to him, wanting to take him Pulled up, but the paladin just backed away in fear and did not dare to touch.

In his eyes, the remains of the sword and the twisted souls of countless monsters constituted this humanoid body. The remains of the indescribable monster appeared on that hand, and they were hissing, bringing sharp noises, and the heavy smell of blood in an instant. It drowned the paladin's sense of smell, making his eyes dark.

Within a few seconds, Tunan fainted.

The human figure took two steps forward. It seemed that he wanted to lift the knight up, but it was of no use. The Paladin had completely fallen down, even if it was lifted up, it was like a group of dead flesh.

"Is it useless to cover your face?"

The human form seemed to be a little helpless and shook his head. Afterwards, Joshua took off his hat covering his appearance. He looked at the knight who seemed to be completely frightened by him, sighed, and then said loudly into the depths of the church. , The deep voice echoed in the corridor.

"Anyone? Come out alone."

"Someone passed out."
