Chapter Fifty-Six: The Man Behind the Scenes
"Atanis, you're finally here. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Noticing the old priest's approaching pace, Joshua turned to look at him, and then quipped, "It's a bit slow to come, you see, whatever is already over." ā
"It's not that I'm slow, it's that you're too fast, too sudden."
Atanis, who walked to the side of the warrior, was also helpless, what could he do? At the beginning, the dragon assassins broke out, and it didn't take more than ten seconds for them to fly away quickly, and he was browsing the materials and books in the library in the deepest part of the church, and it took seven or eight seconds just to walk out of the door, and then the warrior returned, and the fight with the paladin didn't take more than a few minutes, and it was already over when he summoned the city guards to check, and even if he reacted, he didn't have time to arrive.
Looking around, there were huge potholes everywhere, the overturned ground, broken trees, and stumps scattered around, Atanis shook his head, and then looked at Lolanda, who was standing aside silently suppressing the concussion, and his eyes opened slightly.
"This embarrassed appearance, I actually really fought and lost."
He silently thought in his heart: "I didn't expect Joshua's strength to reach this point, there doesn't seem to be any injury on his body, this is an overwhelming victory!" ā
Anyway, as a high-ranking official of the Church of the Seven Gods, he simply stepped forward and saluted the paladin: "Good day, Knight Loranda, I am Moldavia, Bishop Atanis of St. Lauren's Cathedral. ā
And after the Pope left, the paladin, who had been silent, finally raised his head, his originally handsome face was covered with blood, and he seemed to be thinking about something before, after hearing Atanis's greeting to him, he reacted and immediately saluted: "Good day, Lord Atanis, I am Lolanda, the high knight of the Sacred Mountain of the Far Sea, and I am honored to meet you." ā
Although Loranda's strength is higher than Atanis, and his adoptive father is also the Pope, in the final analysis, he is also an ordinary high-ranking knight, and he is not a knight leader who can be equal to the bishops, so he has to bow to the old bishop.
But this is a normal thing for the two who believe in order, after all, managing the church does not look at strength, and after the two greeted each other, the paladin reacted, he shrouded his body with holy light, and after a while, he changed his previous embarrassed appearance, and the blood and sweat on his body disappeared.
Elementary Divine Arts, Cleansing Techniques, practical small spells that can be mastered by both priests and paladins, and the wounds on Lolanda's body have also healed, after all, he is also a top melee professional at the peak of gold, after such a long time, even a concussion is half better, and after thoroughly sorting out his image, he turned his head and took a deep look at Joshua, who was looking at the void.
The other party's attention didn't seem to be focused on his surroundings at all, but instead looked ahead of nothing, which suddenly made him embarrassed, and he didn't know what to say.
And Joshua, who was watching the system, noticed that someone was watching him, and the warrior turned his head and nodded to the two of them.
And at this moment, Lolanda also made a choice, he smiled with relief, and then stepped forward and said to Joshua: "This time, I lost. ā
And Joshua, who was in a very good mood, didn't care, he shook his head: "It's just that you are inexperienced, your hard conditions are similar to mine, as the Pope said, it's just that you fight less, I'm looking forward to fighting you next time."
Speaking of which, Joshua's turn was a little embarrassed - but who was he? Not a good guy anyway! Therefore, the warrior deliberately ignored the fact that he deliberately provoked this battle and slandered the other party as a dragon traitor, and the paladin seemed to have forgotten about it, just immersed in the fact that he had failed, and was ready to work hard in the future.
The surrounding city guards gradually moved forward under Qiao Shuya's signal, and they were all a little nervous when they saw the terrifying traces of the battle, and when they saw the two extremely hideous and deadly demon blood giant dragon heads, many people swallowed their saliva and shouted for the blessing of the gods.
Joshua shook his head, the psychological quality of his city guards is still a little poor, and when the dragon disaster is in the future, although it is impossible to appear as an elite force like the Demon Blood Dragon, but a large number of dragon beasts must be overwhelming, if you are weak now, then how to face the dragon army in the future?
In order to exercise their courage, Joshua asked the city guards to move the heads of the two dragons back to the city, and informed them of the location of the battle between themselves and the two demon blood dragons, the dragon's corpses were still very valuable, and the warriors generously decided to take back one-tenth of the money from the sale of dragon materials to belong to them.
One-tenth, although it doesn't sound like much, but in fact, even if it is distributed to these hundreds of city guards, each person can get dozens of gold coins, which is equivalent to more than half a year's hard work, this is still the price that will overflow due to too much dragon materials shortly after Joshua's judgment, if it is the current market, it may be multiplied several times, after all, this is the material of the demon blood dragon, the abyssal creature, even if it is sold to the Mage Association, it is impossible to lose money.
And when they heard this, the people who were inspired by the money didn't care if they were terrible or not, so they snorted on the spot, and then joined forces to lift the giant dragon's head, while the other part of the people took out the map and determined the location that their lord said, and after sorting out the camp, they would set off tomorrow to find the dragon's corpse.
Joshua gave some more planning to put things in order, and then turned back to Atanis and Lolanda, who were talking softly, and said, "Gentlemen, let's go back to the city first, especially Mr. Knight, he definitely needs a good rest." ā
Speaking of this, he seemed to remember something, and then said with a smile: "It was my fault for destroying your helmet before. ā
"Who would have thought when it came to fighting? It's not your fault. ā
Lolanda didn't feel sorry for his helmet, he benefited a lot from this fight, and during the time when he was in a daze before, he took advantage of the feeling of fighting to pass, and tried his best to think about what could be improved in his fighting skills and methods, until now, he is still reminiscing about the timing of Joshua's punches and the swiftness of his moves.
Obviously, he is a person who often hunts Warcraft, why is he so easy and casual to deal with dragons and dragons? Lolanda also knew that this kind of realm was not something he could understand now, but the person who held this kind of technology was beside him, and he would have the opportunity to ask for advice in the future.
Thinking of this, a light suddenly flashed in his blue eyes - a creature like a man, even if he sympathizes with each other and truly admires him, but he is beaten, and he wants to fight back no matter what!
Of course, Joshua could see the paladin's thoughts, this friend's mind was too simple, just by looking at his expression, he could know what the other party was thinking, but he didn't care, and was even very happy, after all, when he was about to break through to the extreme, there were really not many people who could catch him so many punches in the golden realm.
"If I destroy your helmet, I will naturally compensate accordingly." The warrior said leisurely, "Maybe you don't know, but now the strongest forge among the rune dwarves is visiting my Beppu. ā
Hearing this, Loranda's eyes lit up, he naturally knew the craftsmanship of the dwarves, which was as famous as the enchantment scrolls and jewelry of the elves, synonymous with excellent equipment, in addition to the shield and cross war hammer in his hand, he was actually an ordinary Church of the Seven Gods standard equipment, if there was a chance to change to the dwarf's creation, it would definitely be a leap in combat effectiveness.
Seeing Joshua's words, the paladin forgot about the previous fight, and Atanis, who was even about to go to his house as a guest, touched his beard, and then shook his head and said, "Anyway, let's go back to the city first...... Joshua, your lord's palace is still collapsing, and before leaving the city, I saw your little maid and little butler presiding over the restoration. ā
"That's right."
Recalling the destruction of part of the Lord's Mansion by the dragon, even Joshua couldn't help but stiffen. Thankfully, he was sure that only the back half of the parlor had collapsed, his study and bedroom were intact, and he was reassured by Ying and Rin's reliability.
So, the three of them set out on their way back to the city.
And in the distance.
The Holy City of Three Mountains, the imperial capital of the Empire.
In a mansion decorated with gold and countless glittering crystal decorations, there was a crisp cracking sound, as if some crystal decoration had been torn off and thrown to the ground.
And an angry male voice came: "Waste, two dragons, the most fierce poison, this can't be solved, and they are counter-killed, will this group of demon-blooded monsters fight?!" ā
