Chapter 356

——It's depressing.

When loranda was introduced by the maid and sat in the reception hall of the Lord's mansion waiting for Joshua to come, he could not help thinking of it when he looked at the decorations around him.

The decoration design of Radcliffe family is too gloomy, just like those vampire castles in Knight's novels.

In front of him, it was a neat and orderly hall full of northern style. Whether it was potted plants, tables and chairs, hanging paintings or ornaments, they were placed in order, which made people speechless. However, the dark floor with gray walls and the slightly dim pyroxene lamp always made people feel an instinctive depression.

But even so, the paladins have to admit that these decorations are really exquisite. Although the style is a little depressing, the details are gorgeous, which is absolutely worthy of the history and status of Radcliffe family.

However, the design style is far from that of Shengshan, which makes him unaccustomed to it every time he comes. With a slight sigh, loranda turned and looked to the other side.

Hanging on the most conspicuous wall of the hall is a map of the world of mirov. Next to it are several smaller maps of Empire, North and Moldavia. It seems that these maps have been replaced recently. There are many places marked with red dots and black forks. When the paladin Ding Qing looks at them, he finds that the red dots are concentrated in the far south, At present, it is the center of dragon disaster, but black forks are scattered all over the world, and nothing can be seen for the time being.

——Red dot stands for Dragon disaster, black fork stands for evil cult?

Seeing that many places on the map led by Moldavia were marked with black forks, and that he himself had been out of the city several times, he recognized that the place marked on it was just a few villages where heretics had appeared, so loranda could not help but have such a conjecture.

And just as he carefully looked at the dense signs on the map, a clear and rhythmic step came from the distance.

Soon after, the door of the reception hall was opened.

"Friend, why do you want to see me so late?"

"Joshua."

Hearing this familiar and direct voice, loranda stood up, looked back at his friend, shrugged and said, "there's something wrong."

"Let me guess."

Then he hung his coat on the hanger. The soldier moved his wrist. He glanced at the paladin who was fully armed and even wearing white armor. Then he said in a relaxed voice, "you are ready to go back to the holy mountain."

The paladin was stunned for a moment when he was told the purpose, but then he nodded calmly: "yes, the holy mountain needs me, and my comrades in arms are waiting for me - a few days ago, I have eliminated most of the Heretics in the area. Even if there are remnants, it should not cause any harm, so it's almost time to go back."

"I really want to thank you for that. It really helped me a lot."

Reaching for loranda to sit down again, Joshua approached a heavy wooden cabinet with potted plants on it.

The reception hall is usually used by soldiers as a rest place in the afternoon, so some drinks are always available. At this time, Joshua picked up a bottle of black wine from the wooden cabinet with preservation array, which is also printed with the unique logo of a winery.

Lifting it up, he asked the paladin silently if he wanted a little, and after getting a negative answer, Joshua took a bottle of wine and sat down.

"I wanted to buy you a drink, but it seems that the paladin's discipline is very strict."

With a flick of his finger, the cork of this bottle of wine popped out. Joshua was not in a hurry. He turned his head, looked at the big map and said to himself, "the holy mountain of the distant sea is located in the outer sea of the kingdom of the distant south. If the Dragon disaster wants to invade the kingdom of the distant south and even the whole continent, then the nail of the holy mountain must be pulled out first, so the five color dragon chooses two routes."

"Because of the ambush of the church and the solid defense, the Dragon army attacking the holy mountain has repeatedly failed. But with the withdrawal of the elite troops attacking the central defense line of the far south Kingdom, they will definitely choose to concentrate their forces, turn back and forcibly attack the holy mountain, and remove the huge threat from their rear."

"Yes."

With a echo, loranda knew that the soldier was talking about the situation in the far south recently. Although it was a little brief, it was clear enough. He said firmly: "now the dragon is mobilizing its troops to attack the holy mountain. As a paladin of the church, I have no responsibility."

"Indeed, it's your responsibility."

Qiao Xiuya, who knew this history and even experienced it personally, nodded. He knew that the five color dragon clan, who had gathered all the elite forces in that year, and the mighty dragon army, almost captured the holy mountain of Yuanhai. It was precisely because the whole continent's clergy continuously joined the defensive positions through transmission that they blocked the strongest attack.After the war, the five color Dragon God was besieged by the seven gods of the human race, and was forced to enter the land of mecrov as a saint. However, the seven gods did not continue to pursue, but let the angry five color Dragon God spread the Dragon disaster to every country in the whole continent.

At that time, many people were puzzled by the choice of the seven gods. It was clear that with a little more effort, they could completely kill the five magic dragons (the five color dragon gods) and end the Dragon disaster. But they suddenly stopped, and even disappeared for a period of time. Now, Joshua can understand that at that time, the seven human gods might be resisting the evil god who bewitched the five color dragon gods and spread the Dragon disaster in the void, The plague.

"Anyway, to the warriors first."

At the end of the speech, Joshua raised the bottle in his hand and motioned to the paladin across the air. Then he took a sip of the wine in the bottle.

This bottle of wine, which I don't know where it was made, has a good vintage and strong fragrance. It tastes mellow and has no astringent taste. It's obviously a masterpiece of a famous winery. If you know how to appreciate it, you will surely feel that it's a good bottle of wine and worth savoring. But for soldiers, it's only "good to drink".

After drinking, Joshua put the bottle aside. He frowned, as if he was thinking about the wording, but then he shook his head and said: "think carefully, there is nothing to remind. According to your strength, as long as you don't deliberately seek death, the Dragon disaster can't kill you. I can only wish you a smooth journey and achieve your goal."

"Thank you very much, but it's not a warrior. I should have done it. What's more, I should have gone back since I left the battlefield so long."

Loranda's expression seems to be indifferent, it seems that he doesn't care about Joshua's name, but he said to the soldier seriously: "this time, please."

For the paladin's reply, Joshua immediately retorted: "in the face of danger, still willing to fulfill their responsibilities, this kind of person can be called a warrior." At this point, he also shook his head: "I should thank you for your help. If it wasn't for you and atannis' help, I couldn't easily sweep the Heretics in the territory. Look at the couple next door, they have worked hard for more than half a month, and now the progress is less than half."

At this point, there was silence in the hall, and after a while, Joshua spoke again.

"Loranda, do you know how strong Jiyi is?"

"... of course I know."

After the same silence for a while, the paladin carefully considered his words. He frowned and said in a low voice: "extreme meaning is to break through the limit of the concept of human beings and completely enter the transcendental realm of existence. The existence that reaches this point is not so much human beings as some kind of natural disaster or phenomenon, Their strength is beyond common sense. "

"It's a formulaic answer, but it's not enough."

Joshua shook his head and denied loranda's reply succinctly: "you don't know how strong Jiyi is."

Then, without waiting for the angry Paladin to retort, he picked up the wine bottle and took a sip. After that, Joshua looked up at the ceiling and said to himself, "now it's before the great evil tide, and the overall strength of the world is not high. Silver realm is the top officer in the army, and gold realm is the leader of the first army, who is willing to govern an army, Even a province, and the legendary realm can suppress the whole empire. "

"In this era, it is far more difficult to make progress than the strength of later generations, but I still reach the state of extreme intention."

At this point, Joshua lowered his head. He looked directly into loranda's eyes. There was no emotion in his red eyes, only a burning fire: "what does that mean?"

"It means, with my strength, if I go far south."

The soldier's clear and heavy voice reverberated in the whole reception hall, and even made the potted plants and bottles vibrate violently: "enough to defeat the whole dragon army with one man's strength."

"If I go to the far south, the central defense of the kingdom will be solid because of me."

"Because there are more powerful men like me, the Dragon army will be restrained and dare not expand as recklessly as before, and those fortresses that can't breathe because of the Dragon disaster will also get the chance to recuperate and start to prepare for the next attack."

At this point, Joshua shook his head to loranda, he said with some regret: "this is the strength of a strong man, enough to change the direction of a battle, change the fate of a country."

"I ask you, do you know how strong the strong are? You say you know. In fact, you don't know."

In silence, loranda didn't know how to answer Joshua for a moment, but with his psychological quality, he responded quickly and found out the points that could be refuted."It's true. If the far south Kingdom suddenly has a strong one, the war situation will be greatly alleviated. It can even turn defense into attack and fight back against the dragon."

Calmly affirming what Joshua had said before, loranda knew that what he had said was right, but he couldn't stand it. He shook his head and said, "but, Joshua, you are a nobleman of the northern Empire, you are the count of the north, the Lord of Moldavia, and you are a strong man. This is enough to protect your territory, but what does it have to do with the far south kingdom?"

Maybe the tone of Joshua irritated him, so the paladin's words were sharp: "yes, you can't get there at all. It has nothing to do with you."

"That's what you think, that's what Yuannan Kingdom thinks, that's what seven gods church thinks, and that's what wild dragon thinks."

Slowly, Joshua didn't care about loranda's tone, he just said his own words: "so they didn't provoke all the forces in the whole continent for the time being, but sent evil cults to lurk. When they successfully captured the far south, it was the time when wars were raging in other parts of the continent, Everyone will ignore the fall of the far south Kingdom, because it has nothing to do with them. "

"Loranda, you are a paladin. You hold the power of the Holy Light possessed by the supernatural, but your mind is still bound, and you are not free from meaningless regional relations."

Even at this point, Joshua's tone was as calm as at the beginning. There was no emotion in his eyes, and his tone was as plain as direct: "you think, as the Lord of the north, I should stay in the north, develop my territory, and prepare to resist the disaster that will come in the future. As for the far south, it has nothing to do with me, So I should just sit back and watch. "

"This seems to be a kind of hidden rule. Because of the differences in region and nationality, we all stick to our own three-thirds of an acre. Even if there is a disaster, we are not willing to help our neighbors."

"But why should I care?"

The soldier sneered. He said to loranda in a clear voice: "rules are decided by powerful people."

"I am a very strong person. This strength belongs to me. I can help whoever I am willing to help. I don't need anyone's permission or any relationship. Moreover, I don't think the seven gods church will refuse my help."

"But you are an imperial nobleman, your majesty, the royal family of Yuannan Kingdom..."

Unable to refute for a moment, loranda's thinking was obviously a little confused. He didn't know how to say it. He could only ponder over the loopholes in the warrior's words. The other side's words impacted his common sense and made the paladin not know what to do.

"Do I care about the status of an imperial nobleman?"

With a shrug of his shoulders, Joshua gave a smile of indifference. He didn't seem to care: "will your majesty Israel kill me because I want to help the far south resist the Dragon disaster? Kill me, who has the potential of an advanced legend. "

He shook his head, then said plainly, "don't be kidding, loranda. Let's put aside the rules. It's all because I'm willing - I have the power, so I'll make the rules."

"Because everyone is hesitant, because they are worried that helping others will hurt themselves, so those who have the ability to do it refuse to do it, and then lead to greater disaster. If this kind of thing really happens, don't you think it's too ridiculous?"

"The fate of the world is gradually reduced to the abyss."

When he said that, there were waves of the power of order in Joshua's body. A blue round light appeared on the soldier's chest.

At this moment, loranda seemed to see a illusory shadow that coincided with the soldier's posture. The shadow had white hair and white eyes, and the glory that ordinary people could not look directly at flowed on her body.

And a thick and firm voice came from afar into his ears.

"The world needs heroes."
