Chapter 29 This is probably the best news
Of course, Joshua was not interested in knowing what the other party was going to do. With a blink of an eye, the rapid surging airflow knocked the golden-level priestess out. The layers of force stirred the other party's brain, causing him to fall into a deep concussion.
"Hei, look forward to this guy. If there is any abnormal movement, he will squirt her to death with a dragon breath."
After thinking about it, the soldier changed his words and said, "No, I still have some questions to ask... Then if she wants to commit suicide, she will knock her out."
"Okay master!" The black dragon girl replied neatly. She looked at the half-skeleton face of the golden priestess who was unconscious on the ground, and her face was full of curiosity: "So is it that she squirting her to death with a mouthful of dragon breath or knocking her out?"
“All do, depending on the situation.”
He said casually, the soldier walked towards the hillside and passed by a large bulging snow hill. He took a special look, and then the snow hill kept shaking and snow was flying.
"For the sake of you not doing anything," Joshua nodded slightly: "I'll let you go this time, and go back quickly."
The giant beasts in the snow hills were naturally relieved. With the rumbling roar, the iron armored mountain dragon, which made the entire cult team helpless, escaped directly into the soil layer and hurriedly escaped from the ground.
When he arrived at the place where Ivan was covered by an avalanche, the soldier pointed his hand, and the invisible high-heat air flow melted the snow into a big hole, revealing the hunter boy hiding in the cracks of the rock. He raised his hand again, lifted up the majestic life energy and placed it on the snow.
Ivan is now in a coma. Because he is hiding in the corner of the rock crack, the boy is not directly impacted by the avalanche, but the huge shock and aftermath are enough to knock him out and seriously injure a black iron-level mage. At this time, his internal organs are injured in varying degrees of gravity. If he is not treated in time, it is very likely that serious hidden injuries will occur.
However, Joshua is here, he will not let his students have any surprises. The warrior mobilizes the pure life energy in the Sky Blue Pearl and slightly adjusts it to the point that Ivan can accept it. The next moment, this energy pours into the boy's body.
In just less than three seconds, Ivan's injuries were mostly healed. The reason why he did not completely heal was because he did not have the strong body as strong as Joshua, and the treatment too quickly would only be too much.
"There are three more at the foot of the mountain."
Looking at the foot of the mountain on the other side, Joshua muttered to himself, and the next moment, he came to the foot of the mountain like teleportation, and used the same method to rescue Amira and the other three people buried below. After healing his injuries, the soldiers took them back to the hillside and put them together with Ivan.
It was not until this time that Joshua began to think about why cultists appeared in the Arctic Icefield.
"Although there are not many patrol troops around the border, it is impossible to come to the extreme Arctic ice field without realizing it."
Touching his chin, Joshua scanned the snow. Under this large area of snow, more than a dozen cultists were in a coma. Although many people were gradually awakening, most of them fell into chronic death due to the severe cold. The soldiers did not intend to take action, but waited for these people to crawl out by themselves.
Although silver-level warriors could not fight against natural disasters, their resistance was indeed much stronger than ordinary people. In just less than ten minutes, five strong cultists woke up from the ice and snow, and quickly dug up and climbed up to the surface.
But what greeted them was terror that could not be violated.
Without much effort, Joshua easily learned from the cultists who were scared to kneel on the ground and cried and begged for mercy to learn about their arrival at the Arctic Icefield.
These cultists disguised themselves as merchants and passed the patrol guards around the northern region through the merchant ships of the Mage Bullfrost River. Then they detoured from the Black Forest outside Moldova, and then came to the extreme Arctic Icefield. They came here to dig out the possible plague gas buried at the bottom of the Dragon Nest. These plague gases have the next task they are going to do, but only the golden priestess who led the team knows what the specific task is.
Joshua did not ask about the following content, but those cultists who wanted to survive rushed to reveal it spontaneously, but instead described the details very in detail. Judging from their passionate appearance, the warriors thought they regarded themselves as high-level priests.
As elite believers who sneaked into Moldavia, these people certainly knew Joshua's power and horror, but only those who saw Joshua's real person understood that rumors were far less than the truth. Faced with such an existence that could make both survival instincts and souls warn together, no one would be so stupid that he would lie.
Since the other party was so sensible, Joshua was not ready to kill these cultists now. He bent his fingers slightly, and then shot out a stream of airflows to knock the people out. The soldiers planned to hand them over to the church and let Atanis and others to question them slowly.
Through observation, Joshua was able to confirm that these people were not plague-germs, which was different from the cultists who were caught last time for self-explosion, attack, and attack. They seemed to be the backbone of the cult, and I thought they could ask for more information.
With the four people still unconscious and the captives, Joshua returned to the side of the black dragon girl at the foot of the mountain. At this time, the golden priestess had woken up. She sat in the spot with a gray face. The soul fire on half of the skeleton's face was weak enough to be extinguished. It seemed that the sequelae of concussion was very serious.
The woman seemed to have no intention of resisting at all. Even though she was only black beside her, she never thought of escaping. When she saw Joshua walking slowly, her lips moved slightly, as if she was talking to herself, but in the end she didn't make any sound.
"What are you here in the North for?"
Giothia did not be polite to the cult when he placed the prisoners on the snow, and he asked directly: "Recently, I heard an ancient ruin in Moldova. You should have come for those things, right?"
“…Yes, sir.”
After a moment of silence, the priestess said very respectfully. The priestess was afraid that his words and deeds would anger Dojo Joshua, so he answered carefully: "Our priest had discovered a long time ago that there was an ancient ruin in the black forest of Moldova. Through the prophecy of the high priest and the records in ancient documents, the priests believed that there was something we had to get... But for some reason, the news leaked, and the arrival of many adventurers hindered our actions, so he planned to..."
Speaking of this, she smiled embarrassedly and said, "Branden Caus and Vildanni Scarlett are both high-level golden and even peak-level strong men. The Moldova they stationed is only slightly inferior to your territory, so in order to explore the ruins as soon as possible, the high priest decided to come in person. We just wanted the high priest to act smoothly, and we planned to come and find the plague gas to see if it could cause riots in the Moldovan territory..."
After hearing this news, Joshua raised his eyebrows. He looked at the black dragon girl who had no idea at all, and then said, "Did you discover the ruins in Moldova first? You are making trouble among adventurers. No wonder Brandon and the others are busy all day long, and even their daughters don't have time to take care of them."
The priestess did not speak, and a trace of cold sweat broke out on her head.
Whether it is a demon priest or a cult group, in order to ensure that their secrets are not leaked, there will be a unique means of restraint, either a blood oath or a spiritual lock. If it is just a general secret, it is fine, just like the cultists who scramble to reveal the secrets to Joshua before, there will be no backlash. But if this priestess said some important information, he will be punished.
Judging from the expression, this method of restraint is probably a mental lock, and she should be suffering from a soul backlash at this time.
After finally breathing a sigh of relief when the other party's soul backfire ended, Joshua asked again: "Who is the high priest you mentioned and how strong is it."
He asked lightly: "You are confident that after he arrives, you will be able to ignore Brandon and Villdanni's obstruction and explore the remains. I think you are very strong, right?"
"Of course, very strong."
After hearing the warrior's words, the soul fire flashed in the eyes of the priestess's eyes, but she calmed down for some reason and said in a strange tone: "It is rumored that the lord of the Radcliffe family is an extremely war-loving madman. Even when he fights the legendary powerful man, the imperial emperor is not afraid... I originally thought that the lord in the field should be unlikely to have such a personality, but I didn't expect it to be true."
"I think I am not suitable to be a lord myself." Joshua shrugged. He glanced at the priestess who suddenly had no fear and became calmer in his speech, and then said thoughtfully: "It seems that he is indeed very strong. Just thinking of his existence, your courage will rise again and you can communicate with me normally."
"That's natural... Joshua van Radcliffe, I admit that you are indeed stronger than I imagined, and even better than the rumors. Just seeing you, I know that no matter how much I plan, I will never escape. Even if I have good luck, I will definitely lose, so I will not resist."
Sitting on the ground, the gray-faced priestess closed her eyes, and she sneered: "Your strength even made me hallucinate. My soul was oppressed by instinctive fear, and could not even mobilize magic power... You are not a legend, but what you lack is a breakthrough point. You can occupy the top ten in all the extremely strong people in this world."
"But there is still a gap from the high priest."
"Oh?" Hearing this, Joshua's face moved. He touched his chin without any anger.
The priestess was still talking to himself: "But in the final analysis, you still haven't broken through that shackle. No matter how fast you progress, you can't quickly reach the legendary realm, but the high priest is different... He has touched the last level of the shackle, and he is only a little short of being able to achieve the legend."
Opening his eyes again, the cultist in black said in a cold voice: "You can't stop the high priest's footsteps, nor can Nostradamus."
The priestess mustered up the last courage and said so much to the warrior. She originally thought that Joshua would kill her directly because of anger, so she simply acted like she was willing to die. But to her surprise, Joshua did nothing, but seemed to be recalling something.
"In 833, the leader of the cult is about to break through the legend..."
The warrior didn't look at the priestess at all. He just simply recalled the past message: "It sounds like he is an acquaintance again."
"It's indeed a strong man."
Thinking of this, he showed a pure smile. Joshua lowered his head, looked at the priestess, and said leisurely: "Thank you, you have brought me the best news in the past few months."
After saying that, he blinked his finger and knocked the golden-level priest unconscious, then walked towards the four-person team. Hei followed Joshua's footsteps, and then asked curiously: "Master, master, is the person she is talking about really that strong?"
"Probably, there is really." Joshua nodded. He thought for a while, and then continued: "This man is indeed talented. If it weren't for mistakenly entering a cult decades ago, he should have been a well-known strong man now, and he could even reach the legendary realm. But even now, he is about to break through to the legend."
"I didn't expect that I would get such a reward if I took you over for a walk."
Joshua and Hei were indeed running around in the Arctic Iceland, and they also confirmed whether there were signs of large-scale migration of monsters. But halfway through, the two of them noticed the fluctuations of the golden magic power around the dragon nest in the distance.
Originally, the warrior thought that two golden-level monsters were fighting for the dominance of the place, but unexpectedly it was a battle between an iron armored mountain dragon and a cultist. Joshua also noticed the breath of his own college students halfway up and at the foot of the mountain. Just as he was about to set out for rescue, the avalanche was triggered by Amira and others.
After the memories ended, feeling the big hearts of their students, Joshua bent down and patted the face of the four-person group who was about to wake up.
Then as soon as he woke up, he saw the four soldiers screaming "Wow" and retreating to the rear in horror.
The smile disappeared from the warrior's face.
Ivan, who woke up, quickly calmed down. The first thing he felt was the stinging pain inside his body, which was caused by internal organ injuries that had not yet been fully healed, but this was much milder than he thought. The hunter boy originally thought that even if he did not die at the hands of the cultists, he would die due to his serious injuries.
Looking up at the Lord Lord and the cultists lying on the ground around him, Ivan immediately understood how he and others survived. He immediately stood up and thanked Joshua a little restrainedly. Amira, Karin, Nick and others who were gradually regaining their spirits also thanked Joshua.
"Nothing to thank you. I just came here for a walk." Seeing the four people who were too nervous and hesitant and couldn't explain clearly, Joshua sighed and shook his head and said, "The majority of you can be saved is because of your own credit that you dare to cause an avalanche and die together with the cultists at such a young age. If this courage can be maintained, you will definitely achieve something in the future."
Speaking of this, the warrior looked at Ivan specifically.
He often sees this child. Ivan Makarov, known as the hardest-working student in the entire Winter Castle Academy. Except for a few people who are not suitable for him, most students and teachers have a good impression of him. This young man has a high talent in magic theory and is not bad in practice. In general, he is a very excellent talent and can even be called a genius.
This time the confrontation with the cultists made Joshua see the other party's courage and determination. After thinking for a while, the warrior said, "This time, half of the merits of these cultists who were wiped out will be counted on you, but why are you in the extreme Arctic Icefield? This should not be where students of your level should come."
Everyone did not dare to lie to Joshua, so they could only tell the truth honestly.
"Gold?" After hearing this, Joshua looked strange: "That's right, I did not seem to have dig the storage room of the White Dragon, but just took the eggs and corpses away... But you ran to the extreme Arctic Icefield for an adventure because of a monster? This is too reckless."
On the side, Hei looked at Joshua with an inexplicable look. She whispered to herself in a little puzzled manner: "Hey, is this reckless?"
At this time, four faint flashes lit up in the far sky of the Arctic Icefield. Joshua looked up and then praised: "Yes, the rescue came in time. It seems that even if I didn't arrive, you shouldn't be in danger of your life."
Although the four were just black iron-level mages, they could also detect the violent magic fluctuations in the distance. There were plural golden mages flying in this direction at a rapid speed. However, they seemed to have discovered Joshua's existence, so they slowed down.
At this moment, Ivan saw that his lord took out a piece of paper and pen from somewhere, then wrote a few words and signed a name. The warrior handed the parchment to the boy: "This is my license. You can freely enter and exit my study in Winter Castle, and borrow books that meet your requirements in the library at will."
Joshua took back his pen, and he looked at the young girls with joy, and couldn't help but smile: "Of course, this is a reward for your courage... Then, the four of you, until next summer, are not allowed to leave Winter Castle Academy. The maximum range of activities is around the Snow Mountain of Nissie, which is your reckless punishment."
No one expressed any objection to Ivan, Amira, Karin and Nick, even if they didn't. Everyone clearly understood that with the higher teaching materials, they didn't have to complete tasks everywhere. Even if the points were surpassed by others, it didn't matter. They could spend half a year to improve their strength and enrich their knowledge.
At this time, the two Golden Mages who led the team had arrived first. They saluted Joshua respectfully, and the warrior nodded slightly, signaling the other party to take care of the students.
Then he looked to the east side, where the Moldovan tie was located.
"Are ancient ruins?" Joshua said softly.
