Joshua returned to the Ark. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's really neat."

Robzek and the warrior nodded to each other, and after saying hello, they looked sideways at the sea infested with blue blood: "It's only been a few minutes, and you've killed that abyss demon dragon......"

When he said this, there was a hint of surprise on his expression, the silver-haired paladin knew that he couldn't do this, although a sea abyss demon dragon around the peak of gold was actually nothing to him, but Robzek couldn't kill the other party so quickly, so when facing Joshua who was a little beyond his imagination, his tone was more solemn than before.

This kind of strength of the warrior is not at all like he has just broken through the extreme intent, which makes many speculations in the intelligence of the Seven Gods Church become empty talk, because no matter how overestimated, it is inferior to the real Joshua.

"The means are different." Guessing the doubts that the other party didn't say, Joshua said succinctly: "You are a paladin who manipulates the Holy Light, you need to protect your companions, your purpose is to win, and your ability is biased towards defense 6, not killing opponents." ”

"And me." At this point, the warrior shrugged, "That's what I'm good at." ”

Nodding silently, Robzek didn't say much, the stronger the warriors, the stronger they explored the Abyss of Anos this time, so that the plan for the abyss would be smoother, for this, he was actually happy in his heart.

On the side, Saya also lifted the magic barrier around her.

In fact, with the power of the Grand Nun alone, the sea beasts of this Black Sea will never be able to threaten this temple ark, and she has an overwhelming suppressive power over all low-level monsters as the Holy Light Battery, even if there are some powerful sea beasts that can break through Saya's block, Robzek and Lolanda will also kill them, and the three of them can indeed cross the Abyss of Anos with their cooperation.

"It's a pity...... she also walked to the edge of the boat, her eyes covered by the blindfold looking at the sea, and Saya's voice carried a hint of regret: "Although this abyssal demon dragon is infected a little by the abyssal aura, it is not one of those strange monsters, it should know something, such as the situation in the central maelstrom of the Abyss of Anos, and where did those monsters come from...... We could have forced it. Gather intel and then kill them so you can squeeze their value. ”

In this tone, it seems that this kind and gentle nun is also unexpectedly cold and iron-blooded when facing the monster, without any trace of pity.

And after hearing these words, Joshua couldn't help but be a little interested, and he asked curiously, "What monster?" Don't. Speaking of this, the warrior casually pointed to an erosion sea beast that was fleeing the sea area where the ark was located in fear: "None of these?" ”

"These weak sea beasts are certainly not 'monsters', and if they lose their abyssal aura, they will soon return to their original state, and they can only be said to be eroded creatures."

Facing Joshua's question, Saya smiled slightly, and she replied in a clear and gentle tone: "Mr. Earl, because you have not been here for a long time, we still have a lot of information to tell you, we have explored the Abyss of Anos four times, and the last time we have reached the vicinity of the central maelstrom, but due to some accidents, we have to withdraw...... And at the end of that exploration, near the whirlpool, we had a bitter battle with several very strange sea beasts, and their strength was extremely strong, so strong that we were terrified. ”

The right eyebrow was raised slightly, and Joshua could hear that Saya's tone was very serious, the so-called hard battle should indeed be a real hard battle, and the fright behind it was not an exaggeration.

But what monster can do that? You must know that just the combination of the three members of the church in front of you, there is a veteran Extreme Intention Paladin, a golden peak nun and a genius paladin, this combination is placed on the continent, it is enough to easily exterminate a cult, decide the victory of a battle or confront the mid-level Black Forest Demon Tide head-on.

Coupled with Ciel and his fellow sea dragons, the unknown Invitation Strongman, and the combat power of the Chrono itself, these are monsters that can make these people fall into a bitter battle...... It's funny.

"Speaking of which, Joshua, from what I can see, those monsters seem to have some connection to you."

Lolanda on the side suddenly spoke, he seemed to remember something, so he turned his head to look at the warrior thoughtfully: "The breath on their bodies is a bit similar to the breath on Hotaru and Rin's... While they tend to be chaotic, Hotaru and Rin are perfectly normal—but they do have similarities. ”

With a frown, Joshua immediately became alert, and just as he was about to ask, on the other side of the ark, the blue sea stegosaurus that had been accompanying him slowly sank into the sea, while Black tried to climb onto the deck, and the warrior saw this, so he used his fighting spirit to throw the shape-changing fall that fell on the deck to the half-dragon, and then, with a fluctuation of magic power, Black returned to the size of a horse, and then it took the pendant and trotted all the way to his side.

In this regard, Joshua patted the black head and praised its battle, and then he looked up at the sky where it was still pouring rain, and solemnly said to the three people beside him: "Lolanda, you must at least speak clearly...... Let's go back to the cabin first.,Be sure to tell me later.,What are those monsters like Hotaru and Rin.。 ”

"No problem." The blonde paladin nodded dryly, but he was a little surprised to see the warrior who showed such obvious concern.

Loranda also thought that Joshua would always have a flat tone and calm expression that seemed to be uninteresting outside of fighting.

- Inside the Ark, a rest chamber.

Robzek, as the de facto leader of the Templar Ark, was now ascertaining his position with his crew and continuing to march towards the central maelstrom, while Saya seemed to be going to meet someone, so he also retired for the time being, leaving only Joshua and Lolanda at the square table.

"Say it, Loranda."

After taking a sip of the slightly hot tea, Joshua put it aside, then sat upright, and seriously asked the paladin who had drunk the drink at his side, who didn't know what it was, "What are those monsters you are talking about?" Why is the aura on their bodies similar to Hotaru and Rin? ”

"You also know that the purpose of our team, in addition to purifying the waters of the Abyss of Anos, is also to destroy the abyssal rift in the central maelstrom, and by the way, find out what kind of conspiracy those demons and five-colored dragons are playing."

Unlike the slightly rusty Robzek and Saja, Lolanda is more familiar with Joshua's relationship, so his tone is a little more colloquial: "But it's strange, except for those sea beasts that are infected by the breath of the abyss, there are no traces of the power of the abyss on those powerful monsters around the maelstrom, whether it is appearance or breath, it has nothing to do with demons." ”

According to the Paladin's description, the powerful monsters near the maelstrom were of different shapes, but they all had smooth carapaces, and their body joints and vertebrae were all made up of translucent crystalline structures, and they looked more like gigantic, crystal-covered insects than distorted sea beasts.

The most suspicious thing is that they do not smell of the abyss, but have a strange chaotic fluctuation.

Speaking of this, Lolanda subconsciously lowered his voice, and his body leaned a little in the direction of Joshua: "It should be a similar existence to the stone demons in the world of Ilgena, the family of a certain evil god, plus they have a similar taste to Hotaru and Rin, Joshua - I suspect that they are those evil god families in the sealed land where the Radcliffe family is stationed." ”

"You're right...... Crystal insect Urmardeis, Aragami. ”

After hearing the paladin's description, Joshua frowned and muttered softly, "Indeed, the divine machine is forged from the materials left over after Aragami was killed, and it's not surprising that Hotaru and Rin have a similar taste to them...... But how did they end up here? ”

Although the question was asked, the warrior shook his head, and he already had an answer in his heart.

This is normal, the famine god has invaded many worlds one after another, and thousands of years ago, it turned the world of Karlis into a barren ruin, leaving only a few Aragami who did not reach the legendary level, and it would not be surprising if the evil god found a world invasion linked to the world of Mycrove after a thousand years.

But the Abyss of Anos is the interface between the Abyss and the world of Mycrof, what does this have to do with the Famine God?

"It's a bit complicated, but thank you for informing me." Picking up the teacup on his side, Joshua motioned for Lolanda to clink glasses, and the paladin looked at his empty cup, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "We don't drink wine, what kind of cups do we touch, anyway, when the time comes, when the time comes, near the maelstrompool, after you see it with your own eyes, you don't need my reminder." ”

"At least it prepared me mentally."

Seeing this, Joshua prepared to pour a cup of tea for Loranda, this tea came from a famous tea house in the Eastern Plains, it has the effect of concentrating and expelling distracting thoughts, and is loved by the majority of mages, of course, the warrior drinks this kind of thing not because he needs to calm his mind to meditate, but because this thing tastes a bit like green tea.

But it was obvious that the paladin was not sensitive to this thing, and he quickly waved his hand and refused: "Forget it, I don't drink such bitter things." ”

Just as Lolanda got up and was about to get herself some other drinks, the door to the rest pod opened.

The door was opened very quickly, but the two people in the cabin had already noticed the footsteps in the corridor outside, so they were not surprised, Joshua calmly raised his hand to the elf boy at the door and said hello: "Hello, Mr. Hill, aren't you resting in your room?" ”

"That's right." After seeing the warrior, the elven boy couldn't help but pout, and he said with some unhappiness: "If it weren't for someone's accident, we would at least have more than a day to rest - it's really unexpected, the storm and the waves were actually triggered in advance." ”

"My bad."

Simply admitting his mistake, Joshua also knew that he had disrupted the plan of the entire Ark team because of the accident caused by the Tinder Array, so he simply took another cup and poured a cup of tea: "So, have a drink?" ”

"I don't touch anything like this except when I'm drunk."

Saying something similar to that of the paladin, Ciel simply walked over, sat opposite Joshua and took the teacup, he frowned, and then took a large sip of tea, and suddenly his face became ugly: "It's so bitter, how can you like this thing." ”

At this time, the elven boy - although he seemed to be older than the warrior, as he was called, was dressed in an ocean-blue robe, with a dragon and dragon lance crossed coat of arms, which Joshua knew was the emblem of the Sea Dragon Knights of the Eastern Plains, and on it there were also two golden dolphins, which seemed to be the identity of the delegation.

However, this guy is wearing a thin silk pajama and only a pair of slippers on the soles of his feet, so casual that he doesn't look like a member of the exploration of dangerous seas at all, but like a middle-aged uncle resting at home.

"What are you looking for me?"

Needless to say, Joshua also knew that the other party came to the door on purpose, and he must have something to say to him, but he couldn't think of anything he could say to this ocean druid part-time dragon knight.

Is it because your own battle has disturbed the rest of the other party? It shouldn't be just for this little thing, right?

"I've already met my partner 'Fina' just now, and of course, I've seen your dragon too......" Frowning, he swallowed the tea in his mouth, Hill gasped slightly, then looked up at Joshua, and asked in a puzzled tone: "Joshua, I heard Robzek call you that, so I said that-is what you are really a dragon knight?" ”

“……”

Joshua thought about it carefully, except for having a dragon, he didn't seem to have anything to do with the dragon knight, so after being silent for a while, he replied bluntly: "No." ”

"Ahem-" Choked, Hill's eyes widened, revealing his purple pupils, and his delicate face was full of surprise: "Why are you so direct......"

"Because I'm not."

Joshua told the truth, he touched his chin, and then said calmly: "Hei was originally my war horse, and I dug up the bloodline in my body for it, until now it is a half-dragon - maybe it is already a real dragon - but this is the case anyway, I have never planned to be a dragon knight, but it just so happens that the mount is a dragon." ”

And I have rarely used my war horse lately, and as I silently read a sentence in my mind, the warrior suddenly realized that in his mind the black had become a mobile turret, not a mount, and Joshua had become accustomed to rushing over alone, because it was faster.

“…… But you can't even say anything knights do like this! Clenching the teacup in his hand in some pain, Hill had a tangled expression: "That dragon of yours doesn't have a saddle on it, no reins—not even the small armor and defenses to protect the dragon's vital points, do you just let your partner go up to fight like this?!"

On the side, Loranda, who came back with a glass of juice with an unknown amount of sugar added, saw Hill who was talking to the warrior, and after hearing what the two were talking about, he shrugged his shoulders and went to the other end of the long table.

The paladin didn't have the money to buy a mount, so he didn't go along with the dragons.

"I rarely let Black himself go to war alone, and it generally stays behind."

Although because of Hill's reminder, Joshua realized that Hei's combat power had not yet been explored to the limit, and he was indeed a little negligent in this regard, he still reminded: "Generally speaking, it is me who charges ahead, and it is responsible for the support of the palace, you should also see today's battle, and Hei is actually very safe." ”

"No, I mean......" Generally speaking, there has never been a precedent for a dragon to be in charge of supporting, and the elf boy was probably the first time to see such a strange dragon companion, his face was very tangled, his fingers were clasped together, and he didn't seem to know what to say: "This is too strange!"

"Then again, Mr. Ciel, I don't know if you know about such magic."

As if thinking of something, Joshua poured another cup of tea for himself and the elf boy, and he asked with some curiosity: "It's the magic that makes the dragon turn into a human form, I heard that the dragons of the Sky Knights can turn into a human form, I don't know if there are any similar spells in the Sea Dragon Knights who are called the two major dragoon groups with them." ”

"No, that organization with only one nanny doesn't deserve to be called a dragoon!"

Subconsciously and quickly refuted Joshua's words, Hill then understood what the warrior meant, he scratched his cheek, and asked with some confusion, "You are talking about humanized magic?" Isn't that what every dragon does...... That's right, your dragon was made by mining bloodlines, and maybe you don't have this kind of inheritance magic. ”

"Of course."

At the door, a slightly cold female voice suddenly appeared, accompanied by clear footsteps, a tall lady came to the rest cabin: "The bloodline inherited by Hei She is derived from the power of the ancient dragon of refining the black dragon, which is completely different from the bloodline of the astral dragon of most giant dragons, only the astral dragon has the humanized magic that has been passed down in order to integrate into this world." ”

Joshua turned to look at the door.

This lady who is at least more than 1.8 meters tall and taller than most men is wearing a plain gray leather armor, she has long blue hair, and her eyes are pale blue.

Because this lady's body was surrounded by an obvious thunderbolt power, the conspicuous electric current turned into a slight arc, flickering non-stop.

"Fina, you're here."

Seeing the lady, Hill smiled, and he stood up and beckoned to the other party, "Come and sit here." ”

And the tall lady who was called Fina by the forbidden boy was not polite, she simply walked behind the elf boy and picked him up, put him in his arms, and then sat down in Ciel's original position.

Joshua: "...... This ......"

The warrior already knew the identity of the other party, and the elf boy had said the name of his dragon companion before, and the tall lady with blue hair simply nodded and admitted: "That's right, I am the sea stegosaurus, a rare powerhouse, do you want to make your dragon turn into a human form?" I saw the shape-changing fall, but unfortunately it only had the effect of getting smaller. ”

The lady in the form of a dragon spoke more directly than she could have imagined, and she showed a faint smile: "This question is definitely right to ask me. ”
