Just as the middle-aged man slowly turned around and saw Joshua's face, the warrior witnessed how a man's expression gradually changed from exhaustion with a little impatience to irrepressible horror. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Originally, it seemed that because he didn't hear what Joshua was saying, the man with the communicator in his hand turned to reprimand the guy behind him who interrupted his conversation, but when he raised his eyes and swept the tall warrior's face, the man's expression froze.

His originally slightly blood-colored face turned pale in an instant, his lips trembled, and his eyes opened wide like dying fish, and in the second second he met Joshua's eyes, the man's throat made a 'ho-ho' sound, and then he simply closed his mouth, just trembling silently.

Oh no, could it be that my charisma is really so low?

Joshua found that the strength of the people he had recently contacted was too strong, whether it was Lolanda or several golden powerhouses in the Ural Mountains, they all had the power to resist the fear aura, and in his own territory, he would deliberately restrain a little, but he didn't seem to do so just now, and the threat value comparable to the fear aura was thrown directly over, and the warrior felt that there would not be too many people who could resist this kind of spiritual oppression under the gold.

And the middle-aged man in front of him, dressed in a dark outfit and with a long beard, obviously did not have that kind of tenacious will, his narrow eyes originally flashed with a smart light, but now there was only pure fear left, Joshua had no doubt that as long as he reacted, this man would turn around and flee directly.

Sure enough, just as the warrior had predicted, as he restrained his momentum a little, the poor middle-aged man screamed incoherently as if he had been poured cold water on it in the cold winter, and he turned around directly, and then stumbled towards the mountain, as if there was some kind of flood beast behind him, or an ogre monster.

“…… Sometimes. ”

Sighing softly, Joshua pursed his lips, he shook his head and turned around, and continued to climb towards the mountain under the white pyroxene light, as he walked, the warrior complained to Ying and Rin beside him: "I really feel a bit like the demon king in the biography of the story, and there is only silence and wailing in the place where I pass." ”

"Whether it's a hero or a demon king, the master is very powerful." The girl followed Joshua's steps closely, and she comforted nonchalantly: "I also think it's strange, why are they afraid of you, obviously you speak very calmly, and you don't have any aristocratic pretensions." ”

"Yes, the master is very handsome when he fights!" The boy didn't really agree with his sister's words, and Rin looked very indifferent: "Although it's a little strange to suddenly walk over in the middle of the night and talk to me, if it were me, I would have turned away." ”

On the side, the middle-aged man ran all the way to the foot of the mountain, and before he could catch his breath, a serious male voice came from the communication circle that was stuffed into his arms: "Eva, what happened just now?" I think I heard someone say the name Joshua......"

Taking a few deep breaths, the middle-aged man named Iva stopped his trembling, just now a chill rose from the tailbone, shuttling back and forth at the backbone, so that he couldn't even say a word, until now he calmed down a little, he trembled and said to the communication array: "My lord, you will never guess, just now...... What just happened! ”

Without waiting for the other party to express his doubts, Iva lowered his voice and said softly as if he didn't want to be discovered, "Just now, Joshua...... The Earl of the Northland, whom you want me to investigate, appears next to me! It's exactly like the portrait you provided! ”

“…… What the? Do you repeat? ”

At the other end of the communication array, Count Moros frowned, he was originally lying comfortably on the chaise longue on the balcony of his mansion, but after hearing what his subordinates were saying, the middle-aged nobleman couldn't help but sit up, he clenched the armrest of the chaise longue, and said very seriously: "Iva, you repeat the situation just now!" ”

Soon after, when the middle-aged man had told Moros his story in full, the Earl reassured him a few times, and then hung up the communication.

He sat on the chaise longue, touching his chin, his brows furrowed, and the expression on his face was very nervous and worried: "So...... He's already in the imperial capital? Halfway up the mountain? ”

This guy didn't go through the teleportation array, but walked over directly...... A lot of information flashed in his brain, but Count Moros didn't know what to do next, he was originally a person with both planning and wisdom, otherwise it would be impossible to do business with the five-colored dragon clan, but now the appearance of Joshua broke his plan, and suddenly made this middle-aged nobleman not know what to do.

Eva was talking about him when he met Joshua, so it was no wonder that he was stopped by the other party...... It was a coincidence that he deliberately let him go down the stairs instead of leaving through the teleportation array, which was too coincidental and really unexpected.

However, it is just a simple inquiry into the news, and the other party may not care, after all, the relationship between the nobles is nothing more than that, everyone has a tacit understanding not to pick out, this time it was discovered by Joshua, it is nothing more than a little embarrassing, Count Moros has countless thoughts in his heart, but in the end he has not made up his mind: "He definitely doesn't know, those two demon blood dragons passed through my channel...... I don't need to be so nervous. ”

Having said that, he was still a little restless.

Eva, his men, knew more or less about the things he had done against Joshua, which was why this guy was so terrified when he saw the Northland Earl, but he himself was not much better, and he still felt a little tighter in his throat in the face of the rumored - no, the monster that had killed several dragons so easily, even if Moros was a count.

Moros Dougening, the patriarch of the Dougenin family, a court count, his hometown is the Janus Fortress area in the southern region of the empire, his ancestor is a local administrator, for resisting the Great Black Tide in the Central Black Forest to receive the title of knighthood, and get the territory, but just as the lords of the north live very hard, the nobles of the south of the empire also have to fight against the monster day and night, and this is not something that everyone can do, after an unsuccessful fight against the Black Tide, The Dougening family's ancestors, having lost several of their relatives, decided to abandon the domain and instead buy an estate in the imperial capital, making a living from the commercial activities that other old nobles disdained.

Now hundreds of years have passed, perhaps it is the blessing of the gods, the tentacles of the Dogning family chamber of commerce have spread throughout the empire, and even have close ties with some organizations in the West Mountain and the Far South, the five-colored dragon clan is also one of them, the two sides communicate with each other, and will also facilitate some of the illegal acts of the other party, thanks to it, Moros lives a very luxurious life, even in the imperial capital, he is also famous for his wealth, with his own financial resources, he even has a relationship with several real nobles, such as a certain duke of the empire, The status is fully secured.

From this point of view, it seems that there is no need for him to be afraid of Joshua at all, even if the other party knows that Moros has colluded with the Five-Colored Dragon Clan and sent a killer to him, the warrior should not be able to take full revenge on him.

But the middle-aged aristocrat knew that things couldn't be seen that way.

The Continent of Mycrove is a world of extraordinary power.

And Joshua was a genius who had reached the Golden High Rank at the age of twenty-two, enough to slay dragons.

Who knows what his future achievements will be? Maybe this dragon-slaying warrior will stop here for the rest of his life, but it is more likely that he will be able to advance to the extreme, and maybe he can even touch the corner of the legendary realm - at that time, even if the nobles are rich and rival the country, there is no way to guarantee the safety of himself and his family.

Sighing slightly, clenching his well-maintained right hand, Moros closed his eyes and felt the power in his body.

Due to his dedication to running the family property for many years, his personal strength is only about the silver high-level, which is still because of the excellent quality of the bloodline of the Doggening family, coupled with the accumulation of a large number of precious potions, the path of a warrior needs to be tempered by blood and fire, and it is basically impossible for him to break through the gold after staying in the city for almost his entire life.

In the face of those strong men who can smash the city wall with one hand and turn the tide of battle, Moros has a natural sense of awe, and his financial advantage does not shrink this awe, but expands it.

"Perhaps, I should go out and avoid the limelight."

As if talking to himself, he said: "Let's go back to my hometown in the Far South and have a look, it is true that I haven't been back for many years." ”

"Father!"

The door to the balcony was suddenly opened, and a tall, sturdy young man with eagle-like eyes stepped out, wearing heavy iron armor for training, his forehead and neck were covered with sweat, he seemed to have been waiting behind the door for a long time, and he had heard all the words that Moros had said before, and only now he could not bear it anymore, and then he walked out.

After calling out to his father, he walked up to the middle-aged nobleman, frowned, and said, "Why are you afraid of that Joshua?" He has no evidence, how can he do anything to us? ”

"Maya, you're training with the Knights again?"

Without answering his son's words, Moros just glanced at the other party, and then shook his head and said, "You should study your younger brother, he is still studying in the study, and if this continues, the position of your future heir will be unstable." ”

"But I don't care about this at all, my brother inherits the family, I think it's very good, he is indeed much more suitable than me." The young man named Maya wiped the sweat from his forehead and said disdainfully: "Father, don't avoid my question, as a nobleman, the most important thing is the glory of the family, although our Dougening family has been in business for generations, we can't forget the martial arts of our ancestors!" ”

Looking deeply at the angry young man in front of him, Moros smiled bitterly and shook his head, Maya Dogenin is his eldest son, he likes to fiddle with weapons since he was a child, worships the strong, and has no idea of running the family industry at all, and because the family does need a military support, he also goes with the flow of nature, and even specially asks for a relationship and sends him to the Imperial Capital Knights for training, and now Maya is eighteen years old, he is already a reserve of the Knights, with pious beliefs, firm will, and great principles, also has the strength of the silver high-level, which is completely different from him, a pure businessman who does everything for profit.

really fought, and Moros knew that he might not be his son's opponent.

However, compared to that person, the gap is too far...... In particular, Maya has been conducting strict closed training with the Imperial Capital Knights recently, and only comes back for a few days a month, so he is not very aware of some of the latest news, and his impression of Joshua may still be a little skewed.

"Maya, sit down."

With a wave of his hand, Moros motioned for his child to sit down, and when the sturdy young man sat down with a puzzled expression, he thought for a moment, and then told the truth in Maya's shocked eyes.

……

The night passed, and the morning sun rose.

The Dougening family's mansion was empty.
