After receiving the news that the dragon beast was attacking the village, Moria and Nostradamus temporarily put down their work and prepared to visit the warriors in the main city of Moldavia.
As a result, they saw Joshua in the lobby of the Lord's Mansion, who was ready to go and seemed to be going out without knowing what he was going to do.
"Joshua, what are you doing?"
The first one to come was Moria. He was living in a hotel not far from the city center in the main city. He was just drawing the architectural design of the rune factory. When he learned that a village had been attacked by a dragon beast, causing many casualties. After that, he immediately came to visit Joshua.
Originally, the old dwarf thought he would see a furious, or a dull and angry warrior, but he never expected that Joshua had a calm face, just dressed in battle clothes and carrying various props. He looked like he was going out for a big fight.
He is not a novice. As a dwarf warrior who has lived for more than a hundred years, Moria can certainly see that this is the most formal and serious combat uniform for a warrior on the Mycroft continent except for armor and weapons. .
On the side, Ying and Rin stood behind Joshua, whispering in low voices. The silver-haired girl also asked the same question to her brother in confusion: "What is the master going to do?"
Rin looked helplessly at the calm warrior, and said softly: "Sister, don't look at the master who looks calm and rational now, but in fact he has gone crazy... Since he was in the study just now, From the beginning, I kept saying that I would go to the North Icefield to slay the dragon, and I couldn’t stop me at all... "
Although he was very calm when he spoke, it was not like that at all in the study just now. The warrior's momentum when angry was like a volcano, and only Rin could stop it with his eyes closed.
Fortunately, Joshua seems to have calmed down now.
No matter how quiet the conversation between the two gods was, it could not be hidden from the eyes and ears of the gold-level warriors. Moria was not far away, so he naturally heard the conversation between the boys and girls. He was startled, and the metal ring on his beard Trembling constantly, the old dwarf immediately stepped forward and said in surprise to Joshua: "My friend, are you kidding me? I know you are angry because your territory was attacked, but how could you think of slaying a dragon?"
His voice was confused, and at this moment, Nostradamus also came to the hall. He caught up with the end of the conversation and heard the conversation between Ying and Rin. The white-haired elder also He immediately spoke to persuade: "Yes, Joshua, although the dragon beast attacked the village this time, it has nothing to do with the group of white dragons on the North Icefield."
"Moreover, there are at least a dozen adult dragons on the White Dragon Peak in the North Icefield, and at least one giant dragon leader is entrenched. Although there are no old dragons at the extreme level, if you act impulsively and rashly, problems will definitely arise."
Joshua, who was standing at the door and ready to go out, helplessly saw so many people blocking the door and coming to persuade him. He couldn't help but sigh. He explained calmly: "Master Moria, Nocha. Master Damas, I am not mad, nor am I impulsive. I have considered the follow-up before preparing to go."
After considering everything, you shouldn’t go out!
Although they did not say this sentence, the expressions of the old dwarf and the old mage undoubtedly meant this.
Nostradamus was silent for a while, then frowned and said with some hesitation: "Joshua, as far as I know, although the dragon beast attack this time affected a wide range, including the four territories of the North, the historical It’s not like there haven’t been similar incidents in the world. For example, in the winter more than two hundred years ago, there were five consecutive black tide attacks in the Northland, and that time there were also flying dragon beasts, bypassing the fortress and raiding the villages... Why do you think You have targeted the group of white dragons on the ice field and you insist on causing trouble for them?"
The old dwarf also nodded in agreement, this was also a problem that troubled him.
And Joshua touched the huge nail across his waist. This nail was as long as a man's arm. Countless runes were engraved on the tip. It shone with strange colors. There were obvious traces of poison in the long blood groove. . These nails are specially used to bleed large creatures. In a sense, they are equipment specially used to slay dragons.
He turned to look at the old mage, thought about his words for a while, then shook his head and said: "Master Nostradamus, maybe Moria and the others don't know the cause of this matter, but you should know."
He paused, and then said seriously: "Abyss derivatives."
Before the old mage could reply, Joshua raised his head and stared at the ceiling with his red eyes. He continued: "Last time in the Black Tide, I took out an abyss derivative from the body of the mammoth beast. That thing It has obviously been transformed by Chaos, and one of my subordinates confirmed to me that this creation of Chaos has the obvious aura of the White Dragon of the North. Combined with the rumors of the five-color dragon clan colluding with Chaos circulating in the far south at this time, things have already It’s obvious.”
The warrior lowered his head, looked directly into the eyes of the silent old mage, and sneered: "How can dragon beasts attack humans with nothing to do? Their intelligence is higher than that of ordinary beasts that only have instincts. Humans who eat them will have endless consequences. How can living things taste better than natural pieces of meat like mammoths and herbivorous dragons? If you say that there is no one behind this dragon beast attack, I cannot believe it."
"How do you know... The Royal Mage Association is still studying it, and this information is top secret..."
After listening to Joshua's words, the old mage subconsciously asked a question, but Nostradamus also quickly recalled Joshua's profession.
The Chaos Watcher is the profession with the most obvious sense of the aura of chaos in the world. He also has the Azure Orb on his body - this makes sense.
But the old mage still has some doubts... Joshua is a lord in the northern part of the Northern Empire. There is an entire continent away from the Far South Kingdom, which is located in the southernmost part of the continent. Even if he knows some things about the Five Colors of the Far South, The dragon clan's information is also the result of the information network operated by the royal agents for many years. It is impossible for a count to know this.
How did he know these things
But even though he was very doubtful, he still had to try to persuade Joshua: "But my friend, Joshua, what you said is indeed very possible, but maybe this thing can only be guessed and cannot be taken seriously. evidence."
Speaking of this, the old mage couldn't help but stroked his beard and said with some sadness: "White dragons are different from other races. Five-color dragons are a whole. They have civilization and wisdom, writing and inheritance. There are even people on Dragon Island. Dragon cities, they live in territories all over the world, are the result of negotiations between the Dragon King of Dragon Island and other countries. If you rush to attack, you are destroying the relationship between the two. The empire has just defeated the Northwestern Plains. The orcs are in urgent need of cultivation and recuperation, and have no energy to confront Dragon Island head-on... "
"It has nothing to do with it."
After rudely interrupting Nostradamus's persuasion, Joshua expressed disdain: "The dragon disaster will happen soon. At that time, you will definitely want to kill the five-color dragon more than me."
At this time, the warrior was not in a hurry to leave. He said in a deep voice: "Listen, you are just bound by past relationships and have scruples, but in fact, this is also part of the layout of those dragons. These dragons from other worlds After decades of planning for this, and an extremely detailed plan, as soon as this plan is launched, the human country will suffer heavy losses... The fall of the orc god made the five-color dragon gods feel a sense of crisis, and they chose to let their The plan was launched in advance, and the current attack by the dragon beast is just an accident caused by the advance deployment."
What he said was so aggressive that it seemed as if it was the truth. Nostradamus and Moria who were present looked at each other and didn't know whether they should believe it or not.
Joshua was indeed not the kind of person who liked to lie, but it was still difficult to make these two believe what he said.
"However, I don't plan to ask you to help me. You know, the most feared thing about such a detailed plan is accidents."
Joshua waved his hand to signal Ying and Rin to follow him, and then prepared to avoid them. The warrior said matter-of-factly: "And my existence is the biggest surprise."
"I'm different from others. I don't care about the contract between humans and dragons, or the relationship between Dragon Island and the empire. I only know that the dragon beasts killed my people, and those white dragons were the masterminds behind it. - Dragons kill people, and I kill dragons. Is there anything wrong with that?"
This is a matter of course.
"Although I overlooked some things before, it's not too late. No matter how detailed their plan is, it has nothing to do with me. As for the evidence, I just need to kill all these dragons and find the evidence from their lair, and you will naturally believe it. My words, thereby assisting me.”
At this point, Joshua had already walked up to the silent old mage. He looked directly into the white-haired mage's eyes and said seriously: "Listen to me, Nostradamus, go back to the imperial capital now and tell the emperor , Your Majesty, if you start mobilizing strong men to hunt down those five-color dragons now, the losses the empire will suffer from dragon disasters in the future will be much smaller."
After finishing speaking, he took Firefly and Rin and walked directly to the door.
"Need help? Joshua."
Moria was silent for a while, and then asked before the warrior opened the door and left. The old dwarf's eyes were full of sincerity: "You can bring me back from another world, and I can also accompany you to the ice field to slay the dragon. There is no need to worry about anything." .”
"As long as you open your mouth, I will bring some of the strongest warriors in the rune dwarf tribe to help you."
Hearing these words, Joshua's back paused for a while, and then the door opened. Before his figure disappeared, a reply with a smile came: "No, Master Moria, you have to do it now." The best thing is to quickly return to the dwarf gathering area and strengthen the underground defenses."
"Dragon beasts are not the only ones that can fly."
After Joshua left, Nostradamus and Moria looked at each other, and the old mage sighed softly: "I am indeed getting older... and I have more worries."
After finishing speaking, he shook his head, and his body was enveloped by waves of faint blue ripples. At this time, the old dwarf hurriedly stepped forward and took the mage's hand: "Friend, take me for a ride. First, Send me back to Black Steel Town!"
"Then hurry up."
As soon as the words fell, after a burst of time and space fluctuations, the two disappeared into the lord's mansion.
At this time, Joshua was in the stable.
He came to the stables and saw Hei, who was still sleeping in the same place as a dragon, and then he simply kicked him in the stomach. The dragon-blooded horse, which was sleeping in a daze, felt that someone was there. It was kicking itself in the stomach, and it immediately opened its eyes with great anger, but a moment later, it saw the face of its master. After an embarrassing snort, the horse immediately behaved itself and stood up obediently.
"After sleeping for so long, I really should exercise."
Touching the black skin, a hard carapace had formed on it, as well as some raised thorns. Joshua felt the almost burning heat in his hands, laughed, and then put on special stirrups and Saddle, turn over and mount.
Ying and Lin also rode on a war horse. Without any hesitation, the master and servant simply rode their horses and galloped away from the city.
Running on the black frozen soil in the north, Hei neighed excitedly. It had been sleeping for such a long time, and now it could run freely in the vast world. Naturally, its heart was extremely happy. In such an exciting moment, In his mood, the power of blood within the black body also began to pulse slowly, providing it with sufficient physical strength.
The power of the bloodline became more and more powerful, and under the hoofs of the war horse, countless fire elements began to gather. Slowly, as the gallop accelerated further, a crimson flame began to burn under the black hoofs.
The difficulty in the previous life was so high because the system spawned monsters. Otherwise, for a super big game with hundreds of millions of registered users and nearly 10 million permanent players, even tens of millions of dragons would not be enough for players to kill... You guys, don't let the wind be the rain. If there is any deviation in the report in the future, it will be continued...
