Soul of Burning Steel

"Artanis, you are finally here."

Noticing the old pastor's approaching steps, Joshua turned to look at him, and joked, "It's really slow to come, you see, everything is over."

"It's not that I'm slow, but that you are too fast and too sudden."

Artanis, who walked to the side of the soldier, was also very helpless. What could he do? At the beginning, the dragon assassins broke out, and it took less than ten seconds for them to fly away quickly. As he was browsing the information books in the deepest library of the church, it took him seven or eight seconds just to go out, and then the soldiers returned, and the saint The knight's fight didn't last more than a few minutes, and it was over when he summoned the city guards to check, and even if he reacted, he didn't have time to arrive.

Looking around, there are huge potholes, overturned land, broken trees, and scattered branches scattered around. Artanis shook his head, and then looked at Loranda who was silently suppressing the concussion in his brain. , eyes slightly opened.

"You look so embarrassed, you actually fought and lost."

He silently thought in his heart: "I didn't expect Joshua's strength to reach this point. There seems to be no injuries on his body. This is an overwhelming victory!"

In any case, as a senior executive of the Church of the Seven Gods, he simply stepped forward, saluted the paladin and said: "Good day, Knight Lolanda, I am Moldavia, from St. Lauren Cathedral Bishop Artanis."

And after the Pope left, the paladin who had been silent all this time finally raised his head. His handsome face was covered with blood, and he seemed to be thinking about something before. , He reacted, and immediately saluted: "Good day, Lord Bishop Artanis, I am Lolanda, a high-ranking knight of the Holy Mountain in the Far Sea, and it is an honor to meet you."

Although Lolanda is stronger than Artanis, and his adoptive father is also the Pope, in the final analysis, he is also an ordinary high-ranking knight, and he is not yet the leader of the knights who can sit on an equal footing with the bishops, so facing the old bishop, he must Perform subordinate ceremony.

But this is a normal thing for the two who believe in order. After all, managing the church does not depend on strength. After the two greeted each other, the paladin reacted. He enveloped the body with holy light. After a while, Then he changed his embarrassed appearance before, and the blood and sweat on his body disappeared.

Basic divine spells, cleansing spells, practical 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. It has been so long , Even the concussion was mostly healed, and after he thoroughly sorted 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 the surroundings at all, but looked towards the front where there was nothing, which immediately made him embarrassed, feeling that 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 churchmen.

And at this moment, Lolanda also made a choice. He smiled in 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 that you are inexperienced. Your hard conditions are not as good as mine. Just like what the Pope said, it's just that you play less. I'm looking forward to the next match Your fight."

Speaking of which, it's Joshua's turn to be a little embarrassed—but who is he? Anyway, not a good person! Therefore, the warrior deliberately ignored the fact that he deliberately provoked this battle and slandered the other party as a traitor of the Dragon Clan. The paladin seemed to have forgotten this, and was just immersed in the fact that he had failed, and the idea of ​​​​preparing to train hard in the future middle.

The surrounding city guards gradually moved forward under Joshua's signal. They saw the terrifying battle traces, and they were all a little nervous, and when they saw the heads of the two extremely ferocious and unrepentant demon-blood dragons, they felt even more nervous. Many people swallowed their saliva and whispered God's blessing.

Joshua shook his head. The psychological quality of his city guards is still a bit poor. In the future, the dragon disaster, although it is impossible for elite troops like the blood dragon to appear on the stage, a large number of dragon beasts must come overwhelmingly. , if your hands and feet are weak now, how should you face the army of dragons in the future?

In order to exercise their courage, Joshua asked the city guards to move the heads of the two giant dragons back to the city, and told them where they fought with the two giant dragons. One-tenth of the money obtained from the sale of the dragon materials brought back belonged to them.

One-tenth, although it doesn't sound like much, but in fact, even if it is shared among these hundreds of city guards, each person can get dozens of gold coins, which is equivalent to half a year's hard work. Soon after Xiuya judged, the price of dragon materials would overflow due to too much. If it is the current market, it may increase several times. It is also impossible for the Mage Association to lose money.

And after hearing this sentence, the people who were motivated by money didn't care what the hell was scary or not, they made a noise on the spot, and then they joined forces to lift up the head of the giant dragon, while the other part of the people took out the map and confirmed The location mentioned by the lord, after sorting out the garrison, he will set off tomorrow to find the dragon's body.

Joshua gave some tidying up plans, 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 to take a good rest. "

Speaking of this, he seemed to remember something, and then said with a smile: "It was my fault for destroying your helmet before."

"Who would have thought during the fight? It's not your fault."

Lolanda didn't feel sorry for 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 and thought about his fighting skills and methods as much as possible. Where there is room for improvement, until now, he is still reminiscing about the timing of Joshua's punching and the quickness of his changes.

He is obviously a person who often hunts monsters, why is he so relaxed when dealing with dragons or dragons? Lolanda also knows that this state is not something he can understand now, but there are people with this technology by his side, and the opportunity to ask for advice will be indispensable in the future.

Thinking of this, a light flashed in his blue eyes—a creature like a man, even if he feels sorry for each other and really admires him, but if he is beaten, he wants to fight back no matter what!

Of course, Joshua could see what the paladin was thinking. This friend's mind was so simple that he could tell what the other was thinking just by looking at his expression, but he didn't care, and was even very happy. In the case of breaking through to the extreme, there are not many people who can catch so many punches from him in the golden realm.

"If you destroy your helmet, I will naturally compensate you accordingly." The warrior said leisurely, "Maybe you don't know, but now among the rune dwarves, the strongest forger is visiting my house in Beppu."

Hearing this sentence, Lolanda's eyes lit up. He naturally knew the dwarf's craftsmanship. It was as famous as the enchanting scrolls and jewelry of the elves, and synonymous with excellent equipment. Except for the shield and the crosshammer in his hand, he actually had everything It is the standard equipment of the Church of the Seven Gods. If there is a chance to replace it with the creations of the dwarves, it will definitely be a leap in combat effectiveness.

Seeing Joshua's few words, Artanis, who made the paladin forget about the previous fight and was even going to visit his house, stroked his beard, then shook his head and said, "Anyway, let's go back to the city first... Joshua , your lord's mansion is still collapsed, before I left the city, I saw your little maid and butler presiding over the restoration 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 of the living room was collapsed, his study and bedroom were intact, and Ying and Rin's reliability also made him feel at ease.

So, the three of them embarked on the journey back to the city.

And in the distance.

The holy city of three mountains, the capital of the empire.

In a resplendently decorated mansion with countless sparkling crystal decorations, there was a crisp cracking sound, as if some crystal decoration was torn off and thrown on the ground.

Then came an angry male voice: "Trash, two dragons, the fiercest poison, they can't be dealt with like this, and they were counter-killed. Will this group of devil-blooded monsters fight?!"
