%?2??yt?zo15yk?g;9??A middle-aged man turned around slowly and saw Joshua's face. The warrior witnessed with his own eyes how a man's expression gradually changed from fatigue with a little impatientness to irresistible terror.??r

Originally, it seemed that because he had not heard what Joshua said clearly, the man holding the communicator in his hand turned around to scold the guy behind him who interrupted his conversation, but when he raised his eyes and swept the face of the tall warrior, the man's expression frozen.r

The originally bloody face turned pale in an instant, his lips were trembling, and his eyes were wide open like a dying fish. Just the second time he looked at Joshua, a "hoho" sound appeared in the man's throat, and then he simply closed his mouth, just trembling silently.r

Not good, can my charm value be so low?

Joshua has shown that the people he has come into contact with are too strong recently. Whether it is Lorenda or several gold powerful men in the Ural Mountains, they all have enough power to resist the spirit of fear, and he will deliberately restrain himself in his territory, but he didn't seem to do this just now. Now the intimidation value comparable to the aura of fear is thrown directly over. The warriors feel that there will not be too many people under gold that can resist this kind of mental oppression. r

The middle-aged man in front of him, wearing a gray costume and a long beard, obviously did not have that kind of tough will. His narrow eyes were originally flashing with a lively light, but now he was only simple fear. Joshua had no doubts. As long as he reacted, the man would turn around and run away.

As expected, as the warrior expected, while he restrained his momentum a little, the poor middle-aged man screamed incoherently as if he had been poured into cold water in the cold winter. He turned around and then ran towards the mountain, as if there was a beast behind him, or a monster that could be a man-eating man.

“…Sometimes.”r

With a gentle sigh, Joshua curled his lips. He shook his head and turned around, and continued to climb up the mountain under the white pyroxene light. While walking, the warrior complained to Ying and Lin beside him: "I really feel like the demon king in the story and biography. There is only silence and wailing in the place where he passes." r

"Whether it is a hero or a demon king, the master is very mighty." The girl followed Joshua's pace and comforted her indifferently: "I also find it very strange, why are they afraid of you? You are obviously very peaceful in your words, and you don't act like a noble air." r

"Yes, the master is very handsome when fighting!" The boy agreed with his sister's words without sincerity. Rin looked very indifferent: "Although it was a bit strange that he suddenly walked over to meet him in the middle of the night, if it were me, he would turn around and leave." r

On the side, the middle-aged man rushed to the foot of the mountain. Before he could take a breath, a serious male voice came from the communication array stuffed into his arms: "Iva, what happened just now? I seemed to hear someone say the name Joshua..." r

After taking a few deep breaths, the middle-aged man named Iva stopped his trembling all over. A chill just now rose from his tailbone and rushed back and forth at his spine, making him unable to even say a word. It was only now that he calmed down a little bit. He trembled and said to the communication array: "Sir, you can never guess what... what he gave birth just now!" r

Before the other party could express his doubts, Iva lowered his voice and said softly as if he didn't want to be seen: "Just now, Joshua... Lord, the Count of the Northland you asked me to investigate appeared beside me! It was exactly the same as the portrait you provided!" r

"…what? Do you repeat it?" r

At the other end of the communication array, Earl Morros frowned. He was originally lying comfortably on the recliner on the balcony of his mansion. However, after hearing what his subordinates said, the middle-aged nobleman couldn't help but sit up. He held the armrest of the recliner tightly and said seriously: "Iva, tell me what happened just now!" r

Not long after, after the middle-aged man told Morros his experience in full, the Count comforted the other party a few times and hung up the communication.r

He sat on the recliner, touched his chin, raised his eyebrows, and his face was very nervous and worried: "So... he has arrived in the imperial capital? Is it halfway up the mountain?" r

Did this guy come here directly without passing through the teleportation array? Many information flashed through his mind, but Earl Morros didn't know what to do next. He was originally a person with both planning and wisdom, otherwise he would not have been able to do business with the Five-Colored Dragon Clan. But now the appearance of Joshua broke his plan, and suddenly the middle-aged nobleman didn't know what to do. r

That guy Iva happened to be talking about Joshua when he met Joshua. No wonder he was stopped by the other party... I was so lucky that he deliberately asked him to go down the stairs instead of leaving through the teleportation array. This was too coincidental and I was really unexpected.

However, just by simply inquiring about the news, the other party may not care. After all, the relationship between the nobles is nothing more than that. Everyone has a tacit understanding and not making it clear. This time, Joshua was revealed, which was just a little embarrassed. Earl Morros's heart was turned into countless thoughts, but in the end he had not made up his mind: "He must not know that the two demon blood dragons passed through my channel... I don't need to be so nervous." r

Having said that, he was still a little restless.r

Iva, his men, knew more or less about what he had dealt with Joshua, so this guy was so scared when he saw the Count of the North, but he himself couldn't get much better. Facing the monster who was rumored, he really easily killed several dragons, even though Morros was the Count, he still felt a little tight.

Morros Dougning, the Dougning family was the patriarch and an earl of the palace. His hometown was the Yanus Fortress area in the southern part of the Empire. His ancestors were a local chief executive. He was awarded titles and granted territory for his contribution to resisting the Great Black Tide in the Central Black Forest. But just as the lords in the northern part lived a difficult life, the nobles in the southern part of the Empire also fought against the monsters day and night, and this was not something that everyone could do. After an unsuccessful fight against the Black Tide, the ancestors of the Dougning family, who had lost several relatives, decided to abandon the territory and instead purchase an industry in the imperial capital, making a living by the commercial activities that other old nobles disdained.r

Now hundreds of years have passed, and perhaps it is the blessing of the gods. The tentacles of the Dougning Family Chamber of Commerce have spread throughout the empire, and they have close ties with some organizations in the west and south. The Five-Colored Dragon Clan is one of them. The mutual exchange between the two sides will also provide convenience for some illegal acts of the other party. Thanks to his gift, Morros lives very luxuriously, even in the imperial capital, and his wealth is famous. With his financial resources, he even has a relationship with several real nobles, such as a duke in the empire, and his status is fully guaranteed.r

In this way, he seemed to have no need to be afraid of Joshua. Even if the other party knew that Morros had colluded with the Five Colored Dragon Clan and sent him a killer, the warrior should not be able to take full revenge on him.r

But the middle-aged nobles knew that things could not be viewed like this.

Mycrov Great 6 is a world with mortal power.r

And Joshua is a genius who has reached the high level of gold at the age of 22 and is enough to kill dragons.

Who can tell the truth about his future achievements? Perhaps this dragon-slaying warrior will stop here for the rest of his life, but it is more likely that he can advance to the extreme, and maybe he can still touch a corner of the legendary realm. At that time, even if the nobles are rich enough to rival the country, they will not be able to guarantee the safety of themselves and their families.

Sighing slightly, holding his very well-maintained right hand, Morros closed his eyes and felt the power in his body.

Because he has been dedicated to managing his family property for many years, his personal strength is only about the high-level silver level. This is because the Dougning family's bloodline is of excellent quality and a large number of precious magic potions. The warrior's path requires the training of blood and fire. He has been in the city for almost his whole life and basically cannot break through gold.

Facing those strong men who can smash the city walls with just one hand and subvert the situation of the battle, Morros is born with a sense of awe. His financial advantage does not reduce this awe, but instead expands it.r

"Maybe, I should go out and avoid the limelight." r

He said to himself, "Let's go back to his hometown in Yuannan to take a look. It's true that he hasn't been back for many years."

"Father!" r

The door on the balcony was suddenly opened, and a tall and strong young man with eagle-like eyes walked out of it. He was wearing heavy iron armor for training, his forehead and neck were covered with sweat. He seemed to have been waiting behind the door. He heard all the things Morros said before, and he couldn't bear it until now, so he walked out.r

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

"Maya, are you going to train with the Knights again?" r

Without answering his son's words, Morros just glanced at the other party, then shook his head and said, "You should learn from your younger brother. He is still studying in the study. If this continues, your future heir will be unstable." r

"But I don't care about this at all. I think it's good for my younger brother to inherit the family. 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 my problem. As a noble, the most important thing is the glory of the family. Although our Dougning family has been doing business for generations, we cannot forget the martial merits of our ancestors!" r

Looking deeply at the angry young man in front of him, Morros shook his head with a wry smile. Maya Dougning is his eldest son. He has liked to play weapons since he was a child and worships strong people. He has no idea of ​​operating the family industry at all. Because the family really needs a support from force, he went with the flow and even asked for his relationship to send him to the Knights of the Imperial Capital for training. Now Maya is eighteen years old and is already a reserve for the Knights of the Knights. He has a pious belief, firm will, extremely principled, and has the strength of a high-level silver. It is completely different from his pure merchant who does everything for profit. r

When it really started to fight, Morros knew that he might not be his son's opponent.r

However, compared with that person, the gap is really too far... Especially Maya has been conducting strict closed training with the Knights of the Imperial Capital recently, and can only come back a few days a month, so he is not very clear about some of the latest news. His impression of Joshua may still be a little deviant.r

"Maya, sit down." r

Waving his hand, Morros signaled his child to sit down. After the strong young man sat down with a puzzled look, he thought for a while, and then told all the facts in Maya's shocked eyes.r

...r

Night passes and dawn rises.r

The Dougning family's mansion is empty.r
