Of course, the future adventures are naturally interesting and worth looking forward to, but at the moment Joshua still has some important things to do.

After Israel and Nostradamus agreed on some details about the distortion points in space-time, they left the Elven Country together and returned to the center of Morlay Palace.

During the period, there were also some little goblins who flew to say goodbye, they came with the will of the four goblin queens, congratulations to Nostradamus and Joshua, the two new legends, the goblins actually know the current situation on the continent very well, but because the Tuyuan ** King was seriously injured by the demon tide, and the other three also had large and small injuries, so they blocked contact with the outside world during that time, and they didn't have time to send envoys to the Northland.

After Nostradamus advanced to the Legend, there was nothing to do in a hurry, but before going to his residence to consolidate his strength, the old mage also needed to rearrange the magic circle around the Imperial Capital because his advanced Legend tore through time and space and came from the Void Stargazing Place, so the space-time anchoring circle above the entire Imperial Capital was hit hard because of this, which can be regarded as a side effect of the shocking debut.

And Israel is going to sort out some houseworkThe emperor's housework is actually government affairs, he does not return to the imperial capital for a few months, the imperial capital will be reborn in the dark, many nobles and big forces are ready to move, in addition to a large number of important things waiting for him to deal with, during the entire Spring Festival, His Majesty the Emperor estimates that there is no other time to do anything else.

As for Joshua.

"Let's go, Hotaru, No. 3, I'll keep you waiting."

Picking up Hotaru, who was still waiting in the main hall, and placing her on his shoulder, Joshua took the hand of No. 3 at his side, and controlled the power to lift it slightly so as not to step on the carpet floor of the Morlay Palace or something: "Let's go for this celebration." ”

"Yes, master!" This is Hotaru's cheerful echo of the harmony.

"Too slow, Joshua." This is the complaint of Number 3: "Where have you been?" ”

Despite that, she obediently shook the fighter's hand.

The process of shopping was a bit lackluster, after all, no one would be stupid enough to strike up a conversation with the female companion of a legendary warrior, and there could never be any nobleman whose head had been kicked by a donkey to provoke the Earl of Northland, in fact, the members of the Feltao family and the Suward family, who had a grudge against Joshua, had already fully retreated at the same time as the warriors entered the imperial capital, leaving only a few people on the fringes of the family to probe for the news.

What's more, Joshua also used a secret method to shield his sense of existence at this time, and ordinary people couldn't notice his existence Of course, the price was that the passers-by around him would feel inexplicably palpitating and chilling, and many people muttered that there were ghosts in the vicinity, and although most people had heard of the name of the legendary warrior Count Radcliffe, they didn't actually know Joshua's appearance, so when Hotaru and No. 3 wanted to buy something, and the warrior paid the bill, The shopkeeper or the cashier of the Chamber of Commerce would not have any other reaction than to be startled by the 'sudden appearance' of the warriors.

In the shopping street of Queen's Road, Joshua also unexpectedly saw Brandon Verdani and the others in the VIP area of the Frost Diamond Chamber of Commerce, Brandon seemed to be talking about the current situation and Queen Edna's miscalculation today, while the purple-haired countess was in a few moods, and then asked in a soft voice why the swordsman paid attention to the other noblewomen and Queen Edna.

This is indeed a good question, even after thousands of battles, Brandon has no way to answer the ultimate in advancement. He can answer some truths, such as that he is the heir of the Kaos family after all, and of course he has to pay attention to the situation in the imperial capital, but he will definitely not please him after returning home like this.

Soon after, Joshua, who saw the two of them again at another luxury chamber of commerce, discovered that Virdani had an extra necklace made of [Elam Crystal] on her neck, which was rumored to come from deep underground, and because of its terrifying magical capacity, it was worth more than ten times the weight of adamantite, and Brandon seemed to be bleeding profusely.

Be careful, my friend. The warrior shook his head with emotion, but he could tell that the blonde swordsman was also happy.

"What are you looking at, Joshua?"

Hearing the voice, the warrior lowered his head and looked to his side. No. 3 didn't pay attention to Joshua's movements, she probably just asked casually, because Miss Artificial Intelligence's eyes were scanning the large expanse of crystal ore in front of her.

This is the exhibition area of the Cangyan Chamber of Commerce from the wind-eroded sand plain, they are the largest luxury traders in the southeast region of the empire, and in front of the three of Joshua is the amethyst ore they exhibit today, amethyst is a natural magic storage gem second only to the Elam crystal and several other scarce ores, mostly used to inscribe runes, as the cornerstone of some large-scale magic circles.

Speaking of which, the body of No. 3 seems to be a large piece of rune crystal?

Thinking of this, how did Joshua not know what Miss Artificial Intelligence was thinking? So he waved his hand: "Buy." ”

And just as the warriors were shopping in the imperial capital.

Northland, deep in the Great Ajax Mountains.

The midday sun shines obliquely through the rolling clouds and shines on the land that has just thawed from the snow and ice, casting a dazzling golden halo over the verdant jungle in the mountains, and officially heralding the arrival of spring.

The sound of lava surging murmurs from the depths of the sleepy Great Ajax Volcano, and vast expanses of the Black Forest thriving with fertile ash can be seen between the ravines surrounding it. As the representative of the will that remains after the death of the [Evil God Abundance], the Black Forest scattered all over the continent has a vigorous vitality that is different from normal life, and this vitality is pregnant with countless monsters, which are monsters that threaten the lives of the people of the Northlands, and are also the targets of countless adventurers who come from afar to capture and hunt, because many of these demonic beasts that grow in the volcano and the extreme cold are very cherished and have great value.

But no matter how great the value is, it can't be compared to a living thing.

That's the dragon.

Astral Dragons, Primordial Dragons, no matter what kind of dragon they are, their very existence means gold and merit, a wurm with dragon blood has many treasures to dig up, such as highly toxic blood comparable to strong acids will be bought by alchemists at a high price, and the tough and light leather will also be sought after by some rangers, not to mention the claws and fangs that can be used to sharpen daggers and daggers, and the feat of killing a wurm is enough to become a knight or even a baron in some countries.

Just the wurm has such a value, not to mention that the flesh and blood around the body are equivalent to the same weight of gold as the astral dragon and the high-level origin dragon, it seems that no creature can surpass them in pure value, a crystallization on the top of the head of the extreme level star crown dragon can buy a city in the West Mountain, and the poison sac in the body of a high-level green dragon can be made into a terrifying biochemical weapon that poisons tens of thousands of people, their value has surpassed luxury, and it is equivalent to the scarce strategic material, if it can kill a giant dragon, it will be called ' by everyone' The Dragon Slayer' is worshipped because that is the best proof of power.

But in reality, there is still a creature whose value overrides them.

That's the ancient dragon.

Ancient dragons, creatures that exist in legends and history, have fallen silent in the last era, the last time the news of ancient dragons appeared, it was four hundred years ago in the Northlands, when in order to expel ancient dragons only to expel rather than hunt, the empire sent hundreds of golden powerhouses and multiple extreme powerhouses to suppress the formation, and a legendary mage was on standby to support. The amount of money expended by dispatching such an expeditionary force was enough to directly bankrupt a small country and put a heavy burden on an empire, and in the end, after it was certain that the ancient dragon was gone, no one would think that such a prudent move would be a waste of money and money, and everyone was glad that they did not have to be enemies of such an existence.

This is the value of the ancient dragon, the existence itself alone is enough to compare with an empire, and a rumor of it can make a country stand by and fight against it, it is no longer a 'battle', but a 'war'.

Therefore, because of the great value of the ancient dragon, there is such a kind of adventurer who is listed separately in the classification of all adventurers, they chase the news of the ancient dragon, looking for clues to their existence, they are called the ancient dragon chaser, and they have been exploring the resting place of those legendary dragons all their lives.

Among all the ancient dragon chasers, the most famous are the two legendary powerhouses, the 'Rune Master' Barnier and the 'Mind Manipulator' William.

Because of their childhood dreams, these two legendary powerhouses resolutely decided to give up all the inheritance and inheritance rights of the family when they were young, and have been wandering outside, looking for every trace of the ancient dragon, they have explored the most dangerous Jedi, and have also entered the most hidden ruins, the two have parted ways because of some things, but because of some things to reunite, they have found more than ten hidden places where the ancient dragon once lived, [Extreme Cold Ice Crown] [Lava Sanctuary] [Tower of Thunder] [Ice Erosion Frost Top], They discovered many extremely secret special areas, and the two even found an ancient dragon claw artist in the bedrock of the overseas archipelago, but until now, they have not found a real and alive ancient dragon.

"This is not good, William, we have been looking for the Northland for almost a year, and if this continues, the White Tower of the Heavens will cancel the status of our two special mentors."

In the depths of the Great Ajax Mountains, two legendary mages stood on the top of a mountain peak, one of the older looking old men took out his own eye with some distress and a crystal prosthetic eye carved with dense runes, the old mage who looked very neat shook his head and said: "The ancient dragon aura of the Northland is the strongest I have ever seen in my life, if it wasn't for the fact that the empire has not allowed us to enter before, we would have come here to explore a long time ago, and we wouldn't have to stay here for the reason of helping to take care of the territory before." ”

"Indeed, the lava area found at the bottom of the Great Ajax volcano before is indeed very similar to the [Lava Sanctuary] we found before, and it seems that the ancient dragons that inhabit there should have some relationship with the [Ancient Dragon Molten Steel Mountain Dragon]."

On the side, the younger-looking bard nodded, but he also looked a little disappointed: "But it's the same as before, no matter how we look for it, we can't find the whereabouts of the ancient dragon." ”

Although they seem to be very distressed and disappointed, these two people actually understand that this is the normal state of the ancient dragon chaser, in fact, except for the two legendary powerhouses who are bent on finding the living ancient dragon, the vast majority of the other ancient dragon chasers have become bounty dealers looking for and selling the ancient dragon's leftover materials, you know, even a little bloodstone left by the ancient dragon, or a small piece of bone fragment, there are a large number of people who will pay a high price to buy.

As far as William knew, the lord of their territory, the newly promoted legendary warrior Joshua Van Radcliffe, had bought some ancient dragon blood and ancient dragon bone pieces from one of his ancient dragon chaser juniors, which was said to be used for the awakening bloodline advancement of his dragon blood war horse.

"Wait!" Thinking of this, the mind controller couldn't help frowning, he pushed the shoulder of his friend beside him, and asked with some suspicion: "Barnier, did you old man take the smell of Earl Radcliffe's black dragon with ancient dragon blood as the taste of ancient dragons?" If that's the case, you can really retire and go to the White Tower to be your mentor. ”

"Nonsense, you're not much younger than me! And how could I be mistaken, there is a world of difference between the breath mixed with other dragon's blood and the pure ancient dragon breath! ”

The neat old man blew his beard and glared, the two of them are acquaintances, and there is no need to maintain the majesty and reserve of the legendary powerhouse on weekdays, who is afraid of whom for so many years, but he also frowned: "But what you said is also right, the strong ancient dragon breath in the northland, part of it is very likely that the black dragon mount spreads on weekdays, its taste will not be confused with the real ancient dragon, but it should still affect our judgment, for example, some key places we can't trace, this is likely to be the misleading it brings." ”

"Then let's search the whole area again, this time forget the breath of the black dragon and the breath of its owner, and completely block the entire breath from Moldavia."

With that, Barnier and William closed their eyes at the same time. A large area of dense rune magic circles appeared in front of the two of them, which was the [Specialized Detection Circle of Ancient Dragons] that they had been able to build over the years, and in just an instant, the spiritual power of the two legendary spellcasters flashed through this magic circle throughout the entire Northern Land, making all the people and monsters above the gold level feel a faint palpitation.

After half a ring, the two legendary powerhouses reopened their eyes, and their faces became strange.

And on the Northland border, the great demon Raldanas who had just lurked from the direction of the West Mountain happened to have jumped over the Northland border.

It doesn't know.

What awaits it, exactly.
