Soul of Burning Steel

Just when the middle-aged man slowly turned around and saw Joshua's face, the soldier witnessed with his own eyes how a man's expression had gradually changed from exhaustion with a little impatience to uncontrollable panic.

Originally, it seemed that because he did not hear what Joshua was saying clearly, the man with the communicator in his hand turned around to scold the guy behind him who interrupted his conversation, but when he raised his eyes, he swept over this figure. Behind the tall soldier's face, the man's expression freezes.

The **** face turned pale in an instant, his lips were trembling, and his eyes were as wide as a dying fish. In the second second of looking at Joshua, the man’s throat Then he made a'ho ho' sound, and then he simply closed his mouth, only trembling silently.

It’s not good, is my charm value really low to this point?

Joshua found that the strength of the people he had recently contacted was too strong. Whether it was Loranda or the several golden powerhouses in the Ural Mountains, they all had the power to resist fear aura, and he would deliberately in his own territory. Converge a bit, but it didn't seem to have done this just now. This time the threat value comparable to the aura of fear was thrown directly over. The warrior felt that there were not too many people who could resist this kind of mental oppression under gold.

And the middle-aged man in front of him wearing a gray costume and a long beard obviously does not have that kind of tough will. His narrow eyes originally flashed with agile light, but now only pure fear is left. Qiao Xiuya had no doubt that as long as he reacted, the man would just turn around and flee.

Sure enough, just as the warrior had expected, while he reduced his aura a little, the poor middle-aged man screamed incoherently as if he had been splashed with cold water in the cold winter, and he turned directly. Then he fell and stumbled towards the mountain, as if there was a scourge or a man-eating monster behind him.

"...Sometimes."

With a light sigh, Joshua curled his lips. He shook his head and turned around. He continued to climb the mountain under the white pyroxene light. While walking, the warrior complained to Ying Helin beside him. : "I really feel a bit like the devil in a biographical story. There is only silence and wailing in the place I have passed."

"Whether it is a hero or a demon king, the master is very powerful." The girl followed Joshua's steps, and she nonchalantly comforted: "I also think it's very strange why they should be afraid of you. What kind of aristocratic arrogance."

"Yes, the master was very handsome when fighting!" The boy didn't have any sincerity to agree with his sister, and Rin also looked indifferent: "Although it is a bit strange to walk over to strike up a conversation in the middle of the night, if it is me, Will turn around and leave."

On the side, the middle-aged man rushed all the way to the foot of the mountain. Before he could take a breath, a serious male voice was heard from the communication circle that was tucked into his arms: "Iva, what happened just now? What's the matter? I seem to hear someone say the name Joshua..."

After taking a few deep breaths, the middle-aged man named Iva stopped his trembling. Just now, a chill came from his tailbone and passed back and forth across the spine, making him unable to say a word at all. After coming out, he calmed down a little bit until now. He shuddered and said to the communication array: "My lord, you absolutely can't guess, just...what happened just now!"

Before the other party could express her doubts, Iva lowered her voice and said softly as if she didn't want to be discovered: "Just now, Joshua... the Northern Count that you asked me to investigate, appeared in my body. By the side! It's exactly the same as the portrait you provided!"

"...What? You repeat?"

At the other end of the communication array, Earl Morros frowned. He was lying comfortably on the recliner on the balcony of his mansion, but after hearing the words of his subordinates, the middle-aged nobleman sat down involuntarily. When he got up, he squeezed the armrest of the reclining chair and said very solemnly: "Iva, you repeat the situation just now!"

Soon after, when the middle-aged man told Moros about his experience completely, the Lord Earl calmed the opponent a few times, and then hung up the communication.

He sat on the recliner, touched his chin, raised his brows, and his expression was very nervous and worried: "So... he has come to the imperial capital? Is it halfway through the mountain?"

This guy, he didn't go through the teleportation array, but came directly... A lot of information flashed in his brain, but Earl Moroth didn't know what to do next. He was originally a man with both planning and wisdom. , Otherwise it would be impossible to do business with the five-color dragon clan, but now the appearance of Joshua has broken his plan, and suddenly this middle-aged nobleman does not know what to do.

The guy Iva was talking about him when he met Joshua, no wonder he was stopped by the other party... Fortunately, he specifically asked him to go down the mountain through the stairs instead of leaving through the teleportation formation. This is too much. It was a coincidence, it was really unexpected.

However, just simply inquiring about the news, the other party may not care about it. After all, the relationship between the nobles is nothing more than that. Everyone has a tacit understanding of it. This time when Joshua found it, it was nothing more than a bit embarrassing, Count Morros. There were countless thoughts in his heart, but in the end he had not made up his mind: "He must not know that the two monster blood dragons passed through my channel... I don't need to be so nervous."

Having said that, he was still a little fidgety.

Iva, his subordinates, know more or less about what he used to deal with Joshua, so this guy would be so scared when he saw the northern count, but he himself was not much better. For the monster that was in the rumor-no, it did kill a few dragons easily, even if Moros was an earl, he still felt a little tight in his throat.

Moros Dougnin, the patriarch of the Dougnin family, a court count, his hometown is the Yanus fortress area in the southern region of the empire, and his ancestor was a local chief executive. He defended against the great power of the Central Black Forest. The Kuroshio was able to be knighted and granted territory, but just as the lords of the north lived very hard, the nobles in the southern part of the empire also had to fight against Warcraft day and night, and this was not something everyone could do, not once. After successfully fighting the Kuroshio Current, the ancestors of the Dougning family, who had lost several relatives, decided to abandon the territory, and instead purchased an estate in the Imperial Capital, making a living from the business activities that other old nobles disdain.

Now that hundreds of years have passed, perhaps it was the blessing of the gods. The tentacles of the Dougenin Family Chamber of Commerce have spread throughout the empire, and even have close ties with some organizations in Xishan and Far South. The five-color dragon clan is also one of them. , Will also provide convenience for the other party’s illegal activities. Thanks to him, Moros lives in a very luxurious and luxurious life. Even in the imperial capital, he is also known for his wealth. With his own financial resources, he even and a few real nobles, For example, a certain duke of the empire got in touch and his status was fully guaranteed.

In this way, it seemed that he didn't need to be afraid of Joshua at all. Even if the other party knew that Moros had linked up with the five-color dragon family and sent a killer to him, the warrior should not have the ability to retaliate against him.

But the middle-aged aristocrat knew that things couldn't be seen like that.

Mycroft continent is a world with extraordinary powers.

And Qiao Xiuya is a genius who has reached a high level of gold at the age of 22 and is capable of slaying dragons.

Who said his future achievements? Perhaps this dragon-slaying warrior will stop here in his entire life, but it is more likely that he can advance to the extreme, and maybe he can touch a corner of the legendary realm-at that time, even the nobles were rich and enemies. , There is no way to guarantee the safety of himself and his family.

He sighed slightly, and squeezed his well-maintained right hand, Moros closed his eyes, feeling the power in his body.

Because of his single-minded management of property for many years, his personal strength is only about silver high-level. This is due to the excellent blood quality of the Daugnin family and the accumulation of a large number of precious potions. The warrior’s road requires blood and fire. He has been in the city for almost his entire life, and it is basically impossible for him to break through gold.

In the face of those strong men who can smash the city wall and subvert the battle situation with just one hand, Moros has a natural sense of awe. The financial advantage does not reduce this awe, but expands it.

"Perhaps, I should go out to avoid the limelight."

He seemed to be talking to himself: "Let's go back to my hometown in Far South, and it's true that I haven't returned for many years."

"father!"

The door on the balcony was suddenly opened, and a tall and strong young man with eyes like eagles walked out from it. He was wearing heavy iron armor for training. His forehead and neck were covered with sweat. He seemed to be behind the door long ago. Waiting, after hearing all the words Moros had said before, until now, I couldn't bear it, and then I walked out.

After calling his father, he walked up to the middle-aged nobleman, frowned and said, "Why are you afraid of that Joshua? He has no evidence, how could he treat us?"

"Maya, have you gone to train with the group of knights again?"

Without answering his son's words, Moros just glanced at him, and then shook his head: "You should learn from your brother. He is still studying in the study. If this continues, your future heir's position will be unstable."

"But I don't care about this at all. My brother inherited the family. I think it's good. He is indeed much more suitable than me." The young man named Maya wiped the sweat from his forehead and said disdainfully: "Father, don't avoid it. My question, as a nobleman, the most important thing is the glory of the family. Although our Dougning family has been in business for generations, we must not forget the martial arts of our ancestors!"

Taking a deep look at the angry young man in front of him, Moros smiled bitterly and shook his head. Maya Dougning is his eldest son. Since childhood, he likes to play with weapons and worship the strong. There is no such thing as running a family business. Thoughts, and because the family really needs a military support ~www.novelmtl.com~, he also developed naturally, and even specially asked for the relationship to send him to the Imperial Knights for training. Now Maya XVIII Years old, he was already a reserve of the Knights. He had a pious belief, a firm will, and extremely principled. He also had the strength of a high-level silver, which was completely different from him, a pure businessman who did everything for profit.

When it really started fighting, Moros knew that he was not necessarily his son's opponent.

However, compared with that person, the gap is too far...especially Maya has been conducting strict closed training with the Imperial Knights recently, and only a few days a month can come back, so it is not very clear. In the latest news, his impression of Joshua may still be a bit biased.

"Maya, sit down."

With a wave of his hand, Moros motioned his child to sit down. After the sturdy young man sat down with a puzzled look, he thought for a while, and then in Maya's shocked eyes, he told all the facts.

...

As the night passed, the morning light rose.

The house of the Dougning family is already empty.
