Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Trial of Extreme Will
What the hell is this guy talking about? Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After being stunned for a while, Joshua realized what the other party was talking about, and for this reason, he sighed deeply, and a sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart.
Not to mention that Ying and Rin are the same age as him, obviously legitimate, the artificial intelligence No. 3 is also a thousand years old, and the earliest ancestors involved in his genealogy are not as old as hers, can this still be called a little girl? He couldn't get the slightest thought out of him.
All in all, Joshua wasted a lot of effort to convince the Paladins and Mr. Bishop that he didn't have any special fondness for little girls and boys, and that he wasn't a pervert who liked to play with special creatures like ghosts, undead, and winged people.
"Why did you think of this?"
After the explanation, Joshua gasped, feeling more tired than slaughtering ten dragons, his face full of doubt, completely unable to understand the thoughts of these two men—what a filthy and evil mind would think of this! From beginning to end, he raised Ying and Rin as sons and daughters...... Well, this may be a bit too much, but there's nothing wrong with being a family member all the time.
In a strange world, Ying was the first life he met close enough, and Rin was undoubtedly able to believe that the existence of an important task was entrusted, and the two of them were the left and right arms for Joshua, the warrior couldn't help but shake his head, and said in an indifferent tone: "You who can think of this kind of thing need to pay attention to this kind of problem." ”
However, Lolanda and Atanis were thick-skinned enough, and in the face of Joshua's counter-accusations, they didn't care, but gently apologized a few words.
In fact, their suspicions are very well-founded, in the Mycrof continent, men can join the army at the age of sixteen and get married, although most of them will not get married at the right time, but the vast majority of them start a family very early.
A young man like Joshua, now twenty-two years old, is still an earl of a place, a real nobleman, according to common sense, even if he doesn't marry a wife, it is normal to find one or two lovers in a place like Northland where the atmosphere is still open, and after the can't keep it, the lover will be upgraded and become the lord's wife? This is not a matter of nothing, after all, it is not a court nobleman near the imperial capital, what is the right thing, in this world of looking at the world of personal force, the ghost knows if the poor boy will become gold in the future, and even the extremely strong, the chief mage of the empire, Master Nostradamus, is a stark example.
All in all, it seemed to them that the warrior lived like an ascetic, and every day he either exercised himself, or exercised with a group of knightly reserves that had recently been formed, occasionally took care of official business, went to the construction site of the Nissière Snow Mountain, or took the dragon's blood horse to the snow and the lake for a walk, and of course, he occasionally rested, such as going hunting with a bow and arrow, and then dragging out a fire dragon or a monster who knows what kind of monster it was, this kind of life cannot be said to be unfulfilling, but it is seriously inconsistent with their impression of the average nobleman.
"Originally, I wanted to invite you to a meal together, but now that the Lord's Mansion is like this, I can only forgive me for being inconsiderate."
Patting Ying and Rin on the shoulder, Joshua motioned to the two who had been holding back their laughter to hurry back to the lord's mansion to clean up the debris, under Rin's arrangement, there were already some attendants who were cleaning up the bricks and tiles in the backyard, but due to the huge shock, the items in each room must have been displaced, and in some places, ordinary maid attendants could not go, and they could only let these two work hard.
"Thank you for your generosity, but even if I could, I would say no."
Lolanda smiled and shook his head, he said seriously: "I have benefited a lot from today's battle, and I am about to ask Bishop Atanis to take me in the church, so I can calm down and think about my shortcomings...... Let's talk about the banquet later. ”
Halfway through the words, the paladin's voice paused slightly, and he recalled his original purpose in coming to Moldavia this time - to learn the secrets behind the Chaos Lands.
But after a thousandth of a second, this thought was pinched out by himself. Loranda, what if you knew? He thought so self-deprecatingly.
My father is right, I don't have the strength, so what if I know? Can you take revenge on your partners? Will lost comrades be resurrected? Can it change the Church's strategic approach to the Chaos Lands?
This failure changed his mind.
Since nothing can be changed, what's the use of knowing, instead of caring about this, it is better to cultivate with peace of mind and improve your strength, there are so many people in this world who need help, instead of caring about the ethereal truth, it is better to do something practical.
Thinking of this, he suppressed his mind to ask Joshua, and was not ready to talk about it immediately.
The old bishop was on the side, and he also nodded slightly: "I was also sorting out the old books in the library, and found some interesting things, if it wasn't for such a big accident, I really didn't want to go out ......" Speaking of this, he laughed humorously: "We won't disturb the lord's mansion for the second time." ”
With that, the two of them left the street where the lord's mansion was located.
“…… It's really crisp, let's go. ”
After saying goodbye, Joshua frowned and turned to look at his lord's mansion, the fortress made of granite had not collapsed under the violent explosion, which was a thankful thing, but it was not strong enough.
"Next time, try to solidify it with a magic array."
With this decision in mind, the warrior walked to the gate of the lord's palace.
Time flies.
The year 832 of Starfall has passed quickly, and three months have passed since the Paladin Lolanda came to Moldavia, and now it is the year of Starfall 833, February 11.
In these days, nothing major happened, the Northland was as cold as ever, the plummeting temperature and the bone-chilling wind swept across the plain, the blizzard and the clouds were the same weather report, but it was not the same as last year, due to the presence of Joshua, the New Year's celebration was grander than ever, after all, it was really very rare to be able to hunt silver high-level or even gold-level demonic beasts at will, this is not a matter of strength, but a matter of experience.
Finding a prey is a very difficult task, in fact, many hunters have already expressed their admiration for their lord's superb bow skills and tracking skills, and this admiration reaches its peak when they see the dragon dragon skull hanging on the side of the lord's mansion.
With such a conspicuous proof of force, Joshua's reputation is naturally rising, although he is not very good at governing the territory, but he has a group of skilled subordinates to handle government affairs for him, and the force of the warrior can shock all the young people, in fact, the robbers and robbers have been extinct from the whole of Moldavia, and no one dares to do things in the territory of a dragon slayer, not to mention that this dragon slayer is very short in rumors, and it is really too exciting to risk the whole family being slaughtered.
During this time, the name of the paladin Loranda gradually spread, and at the recommendation of Joshua, he received a new, experimental armor from the old dwarf Moria, and excitedly joined the Black Forest fortress to explore the area around the Great Ajax Volcano.
The addition of a paladin has greatly strengthened the strength of the exploration team that originally only had warriors and archers, and a knight of the main defense with healing, aura and blessing can avoid a lot of risks for them.
Knowing that the Great Ajax volcano has countless precious ores that have surfaced with lava movements, the expedition team discovered two open veins within a month, providing many jobs.
Time passed like this, Joshua didn't look anxious, in his opinion, the road has to go step by step, things have to be done little by little, although the dragon disaster is very important, but he has been waiting in fear, it is better to deal with things at his own pace, so he leisurely handles official business with the help of Rin every day, and by the way, Ying changes clothes and plays, and lives a full and happy life.
This kind of day, until one day, when he took his group of knight reserves to train in a snowstorm around the Nissière Snow Mountain.
Qiao Shuya, who was originally leading a group of naked upper bodies and running around the snowy mountains in a low temperature of minus 40 degrees, suddenly stopped leading the team.
And behind him, a group of exhausted warriors and knights who couldn't even be born of fighting spirit also hurriedly stopped their pace, some of them had already run into inertia, and they couldn't stop for a while, so they could only crash into their companions in front, causing a chain reaction and causing a lot of commotion.
And Joshua looked at the void in front of him with a subtle expression, he wiped off the sweat that had condensed into ice on his head, and muttered to himself: "I didn't expect it to be ...... now."
He thought he would show up after defeating Lolanda, but he didn't expect to have to wait three months.
In front of the warrior's eyes, there was a curtain of light that no one else could see, and in this curtain of light, dense bold characters appeared.
