"Artanis, you are finally here."
Realizing that the old priest was getting closer, Joshua turned to look at him, and then joked: "It's really slow to come. Look, no matter what it is, it's over."
"It's not that I'm slow, it's that you guys are too fast and too sudden."
Artanis, who walked to the warrior's side, was also helpless. What could he do? From the moment the dragon assassins broke out, it didn't take more than ten seconds until they flew away quickly. As he was browsing information books in the deepest library of the church, it took him seven or eight seconds just to walk out of the door. Then the warrior returned, and the saint The knight's fight lasted only a few minutes. It was over when he summoned the city guards to check. Even if he could react, he couldn't get there in time.
Looking around, there were huge potholes, overturned land, broken trees, and broken branches scattered around. Artanis shook his head, and then looked at Loranda, who was standing aside and silently suppressing the concussion of her brain. , his eyes opened slightly.
"You look so embarrassed, you actually had a fight and lost."
He thought silently in his heart: "I didn't expect Joshua's strength to reach this level. He seems to have no injuries on his body. This is an overwhelming victory!"
In any case, as a senior manager of the Church of the Seven Gods, he simply stepped forward, saluted the Paladin and said: "Good day, Knight Loranda, I am from St. Laurent Cathedral in Moldavia. Bishop Artanis.”
After the Pope left, the silent Paladin finally raised his head. His handsome face was covered with blood. He seemed to be thinking about something before. After hearing Artanis' greetings to him, , he reacted and immediately saluted: "Good day, Bishop Artanis, I am Loranda, the high-ranking knight of the Holy Mountain of the Far Sea. It is an honor to meet you."
Although Loranda is stronger than Artanis and his adoptive father is also the Pope, in the final analysis he is also an ordinary high-level knight and is not yet the leader of the knights who can be on an equal footing with the bishops. Therefore, facing the old bishop, he has to Give courtesy to subordinates.
But this is a normal thing for the two people who believe in order. After all, the management of the church does not depend on strength. After the two greeted each other, the paladin reacted. He enveloped his body with holy light. After a moment, He changed his embarrassed look before, and all the blood and sweat on his body disappeared.
Elementary divine spells, cleansing spells, practical little spells that both priests and paladins can master, and Loranda's wounds have also been healed. After all, he is also a top melee professional at the golden peak. It has been so long. , even the concussion was mostly healed, and after thoroughly sorting out his image, he turned his head and took a deep look at Joshua, who was staring into the void.
The other person's attention didn't seem to be focused on the surroundings at all, but was looking ahead where there was nothing. This immediately made him feel embarrassed, and he felt like he didn't know what to say.
Joshua, who was looking at the system, noticed that someone was watching him. The soldier turned his head and nodded to the two church members.
At this moment, Loranda also made a choice. He smiled with relief, then stepped forward and said to Joshua: "This time, I lost."
But Joshua, who was in a very good mood, didn't care. He shook his head: "It's just a lack of experience. Your hard conditions are different from mine. As the Pope said, you just fight less. I'm looking forward to the next time with you." Your fight.”
At this point, it's Joshua's turn to be a little embarrassed - but who is he? Not a good person anyway! Therefore, the warrior deliberately ignored the fact that he deliberately provoked this battle and slandered the opponent as a dragon traitor. The paladin seemed to have forgotten this matter, just immersed in the fact of his failure and the idea of preparing to work hard in the future. middle.
The surrounding city guards gradually moved forward at Joshua's signal. They saw the horrific traces of the battle, and all of them were a little nervous. And when they saw the two extremely ferocious and unyielding demon-blood dragon heads, they became even more nervous. Many people swallowed their saliva and softly called for God's blessing.
Joshua shook his head. The psychological quality of his city guards was still a bit poor. When it comes to the Dragon Disaster in the future, although it is unlikely that elite troops like the Demon Blood Dragon will appear, a large number of dragon beasts will definitely come overwhelmingly. , if your hands and feet are weak now, how will you face the dragon's army in the future
In order to exercise their courage, Joshua asked these city guards to move the heads of the two giant dragons back to the city, and informed him of the location where he fought the two demon-blooded dragons. The corpses of the giant dragons were still very valuable, and the warriors were generous. They decided that one-tenth of the money they got from selling the dragon materials they got back belonged to them.
One-tenth, although it does not sound like much, in fact, even if it is divided among these hundreds of city guards, each person can get dozens of gold coins, which is equivalent to more than half a year of hard work. This is Qiao Shortly after Xiuya made his judgment, the price of dragon materials would overflow due to too much. If it were the current market, it would be possible to increase several times. After all, this is the material of a demon-blood dragon, an abyss creature. Even if it is sold to It is impossible for the Mage Association to lose money.
After hearing these words, the people who were motivated by money didn't care whether it was scary or not. They made a fuss on the spot, and then worked together to lift the dragon's head with high spirits, while other people took out the map and determined After sorting out the location mentioned by my lord, I will set out to find the dragon's body tomorrow.
Joshua made some more arrangements, and then turned back to Artanis and Loranda, who were talking softly, and said: "Gentlemen, let's go back to the city first, especially Mr. Knight, he definitely needs a good rest. "
At this point, he seemed to remember something, and then said with a smile: "It was my fault that you destroyed your helmet before."
"Who would have thought during the fight? It's not your fault."
Loranda didn't feel bad about his helmet. He benefited a lot from this fight. During the time when he was in a daze before, he took advantage of the feeling of the fight to think about his fighting skills and methods as much as possible. Where he could improve, until now, he was still recalling the timing of Joshua's punches and the swiftness of his moves.
He is obviously someone who often hunts monsters, so why is he so relaxed and carefree whether he is dealing with dragons or dragons? Loranda also knows that this state is not something he can understand now, but there are people with this kind of technology around him, and he will inevitably 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 sincerely admires him, but if he is beaten, he still wants to fight back no matter what!
Of course, Joshua could see what the paladin was thinking. This friend's mind was too simple. He could tell what the other person was thinking just by looking at his expression. However, he didn't take it too seriously. He was even very happy. After all, he was about to When the breakthrough reaches the extreme level, there are really not many people who can catch so many of his punches in the golden realm.
"I will naturally compensate you for destroying your helmet." The warrior said leisurely: "Maybe you don't know, but now the strongest forger among the rune dwarves is a guest in my house."
After hearing these words, Loranda's eyes lit up. He naturally knew the craftsmanship of the dwarves. It was as famous as the elves' enchanted scrolls and jewelry, and was synonymous with sophisticated equipment. In addition to the shield and cross hammer in his hand, he actually had all It is an ordinary Seven Gods Church standard equipment. If there is a chance to replace it with a dwarf creation, it will definitely be a leap in terms of combat effectiveness.
Seeing that Joshua's few words made the paladin forget about the previous fight, Artanis, who was even preparing to visit his home as a guest, touched his beard, then shook his head and said: "Anyway, let's go back to the city first... Joshua, Your lord's mansion is still in ruins, and before leaving the city, I saw your little maid and little housekeeper presiding over the repair work."
"Right."
Recalling that part of the Lord's Mansion was destroyed by the giant dragon, even Joshua couldn't help but froze. Fortunately, he was able to confirm that only the back half where the living room was was collapsed. His study and bedroom were both intact, and the reliability of Ying and Rin also reassured him.
So, the three of them set out on their way back to the city.
And in the distance.
Sanshan Holy City, the imperial capital of the empire.
In a splendidly decorated mansion with countless sparkling crystal decorations, there was a clear cracking sound, as if some crystal decoration was torn off and thrown to the ground.
And then an angry male voice came: "Trash, two dragons, the most powerful poison, can't be solved like this, and they are killed in return, can these monsters with demon blood fight?"
