Chapter 228 Friend, Could You Be...

No matter how angry he was, the person behind the male voice gradually calmed down. He knew that venting at this moment would not change anything, but would instead affect his judgment on the next situation.

"The group of lizards told me that the assassination can definitely be successful, and there will be no remaining problems. That's why I let their people hide in the caravan..."

There was a sound of tugging, and it seemed that the man had already found a chair and sat on it. His voice was a little tired: "I didn't expect that dragon slayer to be so strong, two golden mid-level, such powerful demon blood dragons, in the He failed and died while being poisoned and sneak attacking... Joshua Van Radcliffe, huh, this guy is going to find him along the caravan route, think about it carefully—I can't help it... ..."

His hands were clenched into fists, and the veins on the back of his hands were protruding. This incident seemed to make him feel a great sense of humiliation. It is difficult for a man who claims to control everything in his hands to accept such a fact, but his calm mind still allowed him to proceed. Thinking: "Now, the most important thing is to destroy all the evidence about the secret transactions between me and the five-color dragons. Anyway, this line is not long anymore. It seems that the group of stupid dragons really want to fight with the people from the Far South and the group of dragons." The elves are at war, I should have broken this relationship long ago, and this happens to be an opportunity."

Thinking of this, the man couldn't help but feel thankful for his prudence. All the caravans under him are in the hands of a western chamber of commerce that he controls in name but has nothing to do with it on the surface. It is very easy for him to get rid of the relationship Things, even if Joshua really came to him, there is no way to do anything to him without evidence.

Now that the train of thought has been determined, let's do it immediately. After pondering for a while, the man called his butler, fetched a secret magic communication device, and began to issue instructions one by one.

And in the year 832 of the Starfall, on November 7th, in the evening, the main city of Moldavia, the Lord's Mansion.

On the surrounding streets, the people who came to watch because of the explosion had already left under the persuasion of the city guards. Even the adventurers and mercenaries who wanted to watch the excitement returned to the taverns and hotels because of the gradually dimming sky. , prepare for tomorrow's work or adventure.

The moon was gradually rising, and the light of the double moon was so bright that it made the unlit Lord's Mansion so clear.

And a silver-haired girl stood in the backyard, on the wreckage of the wall scattered by the explosion of the dragon's breath, kicking the bricks and tiles sullenly under the moonlight.

Ying is wearing a snow-white silk dress today, with a translucent crystal flower headdress pinned on her head, while her white wrists and calves are exposed, she doesn't seem to feel uncomfortable because of the gradually cold temperature gradually entering the cold winter, the moonlight Shining on her body, it seems to be covered with a layer of silver veil.

This is of course, no matter what, she is a genius, how could she be afraid of the cold, but this light and fluffy dress was not chosen by Ying herself, but Joshua thought that girls should have a bit of ladylike demeanor. She customized a lot of light and fluffy clothes that girls should wear on weekdays, instead of double-breasted military coats, ladies' riding clothes, white long shawls and thick shirts, etc., which are completely devoid of girlish beauty.

Quilt clothes are definitely not something that normal girls would wear! These are the words of the warrior.

"Master, he won't take us with him when he fights!"

Kicking an almost oval-shaped stone fragment to the distance, Ying whispered, turning her head, her silver-white hair fluttering, she complained to the black-haired boy standing aside with a sad expression: "Brother, tell me something, don't you have any ideas about this? So what is the reason for us to be gods, what is the reason for our existence!"

"Sister, how can I care about such things now..."

The handsome young man covered his heart with one hand. Although there was no beating heart under the butler's clothes and skin, there was a rapidly rotating energy core. Rin had an expression of despair, doing countless complicated things to the damaged lord's mansion. My mental calculation: "Repairing is more troublesome than rebuilding, and this cost has to be paid out of the already tight working capital, and part of the hard-earned money from selling the group of white dragon materials last time will be spent...Ah!"

Covering his heart with both hands, the magical boy closed his eyes tightly in pain, and he pursed his thin lips, as if trying to keep his heart from aching.

At the beginning, when the demon-blooded giant dragon breathed out its breath and smashed down the wall, Rin and Ying, who were already at the side, came nearby, but it was obvious that Joshua, who was so angry, didn't notice the look in his weapon's expectant eyes , but directly flew into the sky, chasing the two fleeing dragons.

In fact, one minute after the battle, Moria, the old dwarf who was originally in Beppu, came here to see it once. He smacked his lips, shook his head and sighed a few times, and then returned to Beppu, not worried about Joe at all. The safety of Xiuya.

In his opinion, instead of caring about the monster who can fight back and forth with the extreme wild god, it is better to grind himself a cup of elf coffee sent by Claire from the far south to wake up. He has a new understanding of the structure and forging method of the rune armor. In order to solidify the inspiration into a real entity, the old dwarf still needs to work hard for a period of time, and has no time to care about people who don't need to care.

And just when Rin took out a notebook and frowned to write and draw on it, while Ying sat on a wreckage of the wall and looked up at the moon, Joshua, Artanis and Loranda Then he walked slowly all the way from outside the city.

Along the way, many citizens greeted Joshua, and the soldiers waved back one by one. Some adventurers and mercenaries even applauded and congratulated the lord who succeeded in slaying the dragon again from a distance. He concealed his smile, because he walked back to the lord's mansion in joy, even the pain caused by the demolition of his home was relieved a lot.

Behind the three-person team are city guards carrying two huge dragon heads into the city. They want to place the two dragon heads in the middle of the square. The hired mage will deal with the materials accordingly tomorrow morning. And this period of time is for the citizens to watch their lord's achievements. The incident of Joshua going to the white dragon's lair to slaughter the giant dragon was widely praised by some adventurers who happened to observe this scene, but it was not particularly shocking. example, and these two ferocious demon-blooded dragon heads will definitely bring his reputation to a higher level.

"...It's really a vibrant city. Generally, in winter, people in the south will hide in their houses and try not to go out as much as possible."

Looking at this scene, Lolanda murmured to himself emotionally. He saw some girls still wearing short skirts and short sleeves in the cold weather of November, and couldn't help being deeply shocked: "Are they... don't they? Is not It Cold?!"

And Joshua looked curiously at the direction where the paladin's eyes focused, and then shook his head in disappointment: "It's okay, the weather is several degrees now, and it's not below zero. It's not winter until it freezes. At most, it will be late autumn."

And even if it's freezing, these northern girls will wear skirts until the big snowstorms in December and the beginning of the new year. He didn't say this.

"Excellent physique, no wonder according to folklore books, the Northland often produces brave and skilled fighters..."

Muttering something in a low voice, Lolanda saw the Lord's Mansion ahead from a distance, just as he imagined, the wall behind the Lord's Mansion had collapsed, and the backyard was in a mess, but unexpectedly, a series of footsteps sounded, Two light figures trotted all the way to Joshua's side.

"Master, here is the list of losses."

The black-haired boy in the lead had a pair of bright golden eyes. He was handsome and his face was slightly pointed. Handed it to Joshua who was sighing, and the silver-haired girl standing behind the boy had snow-white skin, long hair reaching her waist, and her eyes shone like fireflies. Although she looked cute, her running posture As bold as a boy, he doesn't care about the flying skirt and the crystal headgear that is about to fall from the tip of his hair... Between the eyebrows, he looks a little unhappy?

"Okay, I see... You did a great job, thank you for your hard work."

Touching Rin's head, Joshua made his already messy hair even more messy. He looked at the detailed records of damage and the money needed for repair in the notebook in his hand, he couldn't help but sighed again, and then When it was closed, the soldier naturally noticed Ying who had some small emotions, and also realized that he had hurt the hearts of the weapons again this time, so he couldn't help but agree: "Okay, okay, I didn't pay attention this time, actually this time It will definitely be easier to fight with you this time, and I will definitely bring you next time, okay?"

Originally, it was crushing, but even using weapons now, it is really bullying those dragons too much.

Before the thought flashed in his mind, the magic power projection of No. 3 floated unsteadily from the sky above the lord's mansion. The artificial intelligence's external image communication terminal was expressionless, and his long blue hair seemed to be real. The wind was blowing, and black wings protruded from the back of her slender waist, shaking slowly on both sides of her petite body.

"It doesn't look like anything..."

Eyes——The investigative technique swept across the group of people in front of him, No. 3 muttered to himself, and then flew up unsteadily, leaving the Lord's Mansion under the eyes of everyone.

Because she has recently received sufficient energy from magic crystals, this artificial intelligence lady has been able to cover more than half of the city with her projection, and she also likes this strange way of moving. According to No. 3, this is not It was the most optimal way of action that gave her a long-lost pleasure, and could speed up the recovery of her broken soul due to the thousand years of loneliness.

Having said so much, Joshua can only let her go, anyway, he doesn't lack a little energy, just be happy,

"Another strange person." Artanis muttered, the bishop stroked his beard, and the paladin at the side focused on the magic projection that was gradually moving away, and whispered to himself: " Ghost? Winged man? Winged man ghost? An intelligent undead creature? Is it a lich?"

In an instant, he came up with several guesses, and then rejected them all one by one. At last, Lolanda suddenly realized: "By the way, magic power projection! No wonder it looks like a ghost, but there is no negative energy or ghostly breath... But from where? Wingman here?"

The previous doubt has not been resolved, and a new doubt has arisen out of nowhere... This Lord's Mansion is so colorful.

But... the paladin turned his head to look at the young girl who had been quietly following Joshua and called him master before. He thought for a while, and then he was a little serious, but with a hint of hesitation, he said slowly: "Josh Mr. Xiuya."

"Well, what's the matter?"

Joshua, who was thinking about which materials to sell the Demon Blood Dragon and the White Dragon to make up the gap in funds, instinctively responded, then frowned again, and looked at the notebook in his hand.

Lolanda didn't notice this, and he said to the soldier in front of him with a serious face and a little embarrassment: "Although this may be your personal preference..."

Hearing this, Joshua turned his head with a puzzled expression.

After a pause, the Paladin looked at Ying and Rin, as well as the back of No. 3 who was far away, took a deep breath, and said cautiously: "It is against the laws and dogma of the empire to attack children! "

Joshua: "...huh?"
