It's really depressing.

When Lorenda was introduced by the maid and sat in the welcome hall of the Lord's Mansion waiting for Joshua to come, he could not help but think of this when he looked at the decorations around him.

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

In front of him was a neat and orderly hall full of northern style. Whether it was potted plants, tables, chairs, paintings or accessories, they were placed in an orderly manner, making people speechless, but the dark floors and gray walls, coupled with the slightly dim pyroxene lamps, always give people a sense of instinctive depression.

But even so, the Paladin had to admit that these decorations were indeed very particular. Although the style was a bit depressing, the details were gorgeous, which was definitely worthy of the history and status of the Radcliffe family.

However, the design style was too far from that of the Holy Mountain, which made him feel a little uncomfortable every time he came. With a slight sigh, Loranda turned to look at the other side.

The most conspicuous wall hanging on the hall is a map of the world of Mycrov. There are also several smaller empire maps, northern maps and Moldavian territory maps. This map seems to have been newly replaced recently. There are many places with red dots and black forks on it. When the Paladin Dingqing looked at it, he found that the red dots were concentrated in the far south, which is the center of the current Dragon Calamity, while the black forks are relatively scattered and are available all over the world. I can't see anything for the time being.

Does the red dot represent dragon disaster, and does the black fork represent cultists?

Since he saw that there were black forks on many places on the map of Moldavia, and he had also left the city to sweep several times, and recognized that the location marked on it happened to be several villages where cultists had appeared, Loranda couldn't help but have such a conjecture.

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

Soon after, the door to the living room was opened.

"Friend, it's so late, what are you doing with me?"

"Jothia."

Hearing this familiar and direct voice, Lorenda stood up, he turned to look at his friend, shrugged his shoulders and said, "There is something."

"Let me guess."

He casually hung the coat he was wearing on the clothes hanger beside him. The warrior moved his wrists. He glanced at the Paladin who was fully armed and even wearing white armor, and then said in a relaxed tone: "You are ready to return to the Holy Mountain."

The Paladin was stunned for a moment when he was told his purpose, but then he nodded calmly: "Yes, the Holy Mountain needs me. My comrades are waiting for me a few days ago. I have wiped out most of the cultists in the territory. Even if there are still remnants, it should not cause any harm, so it is almost time to go back."

"I really want to thank you for this, it really helped me a lot."

With his hand reaching out to let Loranda sit back, Joshua approached a heavy wooden cabinet with potted plants on it.

The reception room is usually used by soldiers as an afternoon rest place, so some wine is often prepared. At this time, Joshua picked up a bottle of black bottles of wine from this wooden cabinet with a fresh-keeping array, which also has a unique logo of a winery on it.

He raised it up and silently asked the Paladin if he wanted to come. After receiving a negative answer, Joshua found a seat to sit down with a bottle of wine alone.

"I originally wanted to invite you to drink some wine, but it seems that the Paladin's precepts are indeed very strict."

With a light flash of his finger, the bottle of wine popped out. Joshua was not in a hurry to drink. He turned his head, looked at the big map beside him, and said to himself: "The Holy Mountain of the Far Sea is located on the sea outside the Far South Kingdom. If Longfu wants to invade the Far South Kingdom and even the entire continent, then the nail of the Holy Mountain must be pulled out first, so the Five-Colored Dragon chose to divide the troops into two groups."

"Because of the ambush and impregnable defense of the church, the Crazy Dragon Army attacking the Holy Mountain failed repeatedly. However, as the elite troops attacking the central defense line of the Far South Kingdom retreated, they would definitely choose to concentrate their forces, turn back and forcefully capture the Holy Mountain, and remove the huge threat from their rear."

"Yes."

With a reply, Lorenda knew that the warrior was talking about the recent situation in the far south. Although it was a little simple, it was clear enough. He said firmly: "Now the Crazy Dragon is mobilizing a large army and preparing to attack the Holy Mountain in full, and as the Paladin of the Church, I have no responsibility to do anything else."

"Indeed, it's your responsibility."

Joshua, who knew this history and even experienced it personally, nodded. He knew that the Five-Colored Dragon Clan, who had summoned all the elite forces, almost captured the Holy Mountain of the Far Sea. It was precisely because the entire continent's priests continued to join the defensive positions through teleportation that they blocked the strongest wave of offensives.

After this battle, the Five-Colored Dragon God was besieged by the seven gods of the human race and defeated the Wuwang Heaven. He was forced to enter the Mycrov Continent with the true form of a saint. However, the Seven Gods did not continue to pursue, but allowed the five-Colored Dragon God who was angry and embarrassed to spread the dragon disaster to every country in the entire continent.

Many people were puzzled by the choice of the Seven Gods. They only needed to add a little force to completely kill the five demon dragons (Five-Colored Dragon God) to end the dragon disaster, but they suddenly stopped and even disappeared for a while. But now, Qiao Xiuya could understand that at that time, the Seven Gods of Humanity might be resisting the evil god who deceived the Five-Colored Dragon God and spread the dragon disaster, [Plague].

"Anyway, I'll give you a toast to the Warriors first."

After saying that, Joshua simply raised the bottle of wine in his hand and signaled to the Paladin across the air. Then he took a sip of the wine in the bottle.

This bottle of wine, which is produced from in unknown places, is very good in the year. It has a rich fragrance and a mellow taste after entering the mouth. It does not have the slightest feeling of astringent taste. It is obviously a masterpiece from a well-known winery. If you are a person who knows how to appreciate it, you will definitely sigh that this is a good bottle of wine that is worth savoring, but for the warriors, there is only the word "good" evaluation.

After drinking, Joshua put the bottle aside. He frowned, as if he was thinking about words, but then shook his head and said, "Think about it carefully, there is nothing to remind you. According to your strength, as long as you don't deliberately seek death, the dragon disaster will not be able to kill you. I can only wish you a smooth journey and achieve your goals."

"Thank you, but this is not a warrior. I should have done it, not to mention that I have been away from the battlefield for so long and should have gone back."

Loranda's expression seemed to be very indifferent. It seemed that she was a little distracted by Joshua's title, but he still said to the warrior seriously: "I'll bother you during this period."

In response to the Paladin's reply, Joshua immediately retorted: "When facing danger, he is willing to fulfill his responsibilities, and such a person can be called a warrior." Speaking of this, he shook his head: "I should thank you. If it weren't for your help and Atanis, I wouldn't have swept the cultists in the territory so easily. Look at the couple in Moldova next door, they worked hard for more than half of their time, and now the progress is not halfway."

Speaking of this, the hall fell silent, and after a while, Joshua spoke again.

"Lorlanda, do you know how strong the 'Jiyi' is?"

“…I certainly know.”

After a while of silence, the Paladin carefully considered the words. He frowned and said in a low voice: "The extreme meaning is to break through the limits of the concept of human beings, completely enter the extraordinary realm, and reach this level of existence is not so much a human being, but rather a natural disaster or a phenomenon. Their power is no longer something that ordinary people can measure with common sense."

"A very formulaic answer, but not enough."

Joshua shook his head and concisely denied Loranda's reply: "You don't know how strong Jiyi is."

After saying that, before the angry paladin retorted, he picked up the bottle and took a sip. After taking a sip, Joshua raised his head and looked at the ceiling. He then said to himself: "Now before the arrival of the great demon tide, the overall strength of the world is not high. The silver realm is the senior officer in the army, and the golden realm is the leader of a army. He is extremely willing to rule a legion or even a province, and the legendary realm can suppress the entire empire."

"This era is far more difficult than the strength improvement of later generations, but I still reach the extreme state of mind."

Speaking of this, Joshua lowered his head and looked straight into Loranda's eyes. There was no emotion in his red eyes, only a burning fire: "What does this mean?"

"It means that with my strength, if I go to Far South."

The clear and heavy voice of the warrior echoed throughout the living room, and even caused the pots and bottles placed to cause violent vibrations: "It is enough to defeat the entire Martyr Dragon Legion with one person's strength."

"If I go far south, the central defense of the kingdom will be solidified by my joining."

"Because I am a powerful man of extreme spirit, the army of Crazy Dragon will be restrained and dare not expand as recklessly as before. Fortresses that are unable to breathe due to dragon disasters can also get the opportunity to recuperate and start to reorganize and deal with the next impact."

Speaking of this, Joshua shook his head at Lorenda, and he said with some regret: "This is the strength of a strong man who is extremely interested, which is enough to change the direction of a battle and the fate of a country."

"I ask you, do you know how strong the powerful person of the extreme intention is? You said you know, but in fact, you don't know."

Silently speaking, Loranda didn't know how to answer Joshua for a moment, but with his psychological quality, he quickly reacted and found a point that could be refuted.

"That's true. If there is a strong man with extreme intention suddenly in the Far South Kingdom, the situation of the battle can indeed be greatly alleviated, and it can even turn into defense to offense and counterattack the Crazy Dragon."

Calmly affirming Joshua's previous words, Loranda knew that the other party was right, but it was a little untenable. He shook his head vigorously and said, "But, Joshua, you are a nobleman of the Northern Empire, you are the Count of the Northland, the Lord of Moldavia, and you are the strong man of the extremely intention. This is enough to protect your territory, but what does it have to do with the Far South Kingdom?"

Perhaps it was because Joshua's tone that had angered him a little before, so the Paladin's words became sharp: "Yes, you can't even have any of them, and all this has nothing to do with you."

"That's what you think, the Far South Kingdom, the Seven Gods Church, and the Crazy Dragon."

He said slowly, Joshua didn't care about Lorenda's tone, he just said his own words: "So they did not provoke all the forces in the entire continent for the time being, but sent cultists to lurk. When they successfully conquer the Far South, it was time for wars in other parts of the Mycrov continent. Before that, everyone would ignore the fall of the Far South Kingdom, because all this had nothing to do with them."

"Lolanda, you are a paladin. You have the power of holy light that only extraordinary people possess, but your thinking is still bound and has not been freed from meaningless regional relations."

Even at this point, Joshua's tone was as calm as it was at the beginning. His eyes did not contain any emotions, and his tone was as plain as a direct statement: "You think that as the lord of the North, I should stay in the North, develop my territory, and prepare to resist the disasters that will come in the future. As for the far south, it has nothing to do with me, so I should stop watching."

"This seems to be a hidden rule. Because of the difference in region and nationality, everyone sticks to their own land. Even if a disaster occurs, they are unwilling to reach out to help their neighbors."

"But why should I care about these?"

The warrior sneered, and he paused word by word, and said to Lorenda in an extremely clear voice: "The rules are determined by those with strength."

"I am a strong man of extreme intention. This strength is mine. I can help anyone I am willing to help, without anyone allowing it or having any relationship. And I don't think that the Seven Gods Church will reject my help."

"But you are the nobles of the empire, His Majesty the Emperor, the royal family of the Far South Kingdom..."

Unable to refute for a moment, Loranda's thinking was obviously a little confused. He didn't know what to say, so he could only think hard and think about the loopholes in the warrior's words. The other party's words impacted his usual common sense, making the Paladin not know what to do.

"Do I care a lot about the identity of the imperial noble?"

Shrugged, Joshua laughed indifferently. He seemed to be really careless: "Will His Majesty Isrell kill me because I want to help Yuannan resist the dragon disaster? Kill me, a powerful man with advanced legend potential."

He shook his head and said calmly: "Stop kidding, Loranda, let go of the rules and regulations."

"Because everyone is hesitant and worried that helping others will harm themselves, people who are capable of taking action refuse to take action, which will lead to greater disasters. If this kind of thing really happens, don't you think it's too ridiculous?"

"The fate of the world gradually fell to the abyss."

When he said this, waves of order power appeared in Joshua's body, and a blue round light appeared on the warrior's chest.

At this moment, Loranda seemed to see an illusory shadow overlapping with the warrior's figure. The shadow was white with hair and eyes, and the body was filled with glory that ordinary people could not look directly at.

And a thick and firm voice came from not far away and entered his ears.
