Chapter 33 Is the charm restored?
“Only one person.”
There is no need to look with your eyes. Just relying on the vibrations from the dragon car, the smells in the air, and the temperature changes in the surrounding environment, Joshua knew the reason for the stop of the dragon car. It was because a man hit the earth-slide dragon pulling the car in the front. The powerful force vibrated, causing the dragon beast to faint for a while.
The Earth Dragons, which are generally used to pull dragon chariots, are all hybrid descendants of triangular stegosaurus and stone rhino dragons. After thousands of years of screening bloodlines of various races on the continent of Mycrov, this hybrid dragon, which is generally more than ten meters tall, has almost become a new race. It has a strong physique, gentle temperament, long endurance, and its huge size and heavy armor make it not afraid of ordinary monster attacks.
The strength of the Earth-Strike Dragon is actually better than that of many natural original dragons. The powerful powers will train the Earth-Strike Dragon Knights as a vanguard to attack. However, in the previous life, many docile Earth-Strike Dragons returned to their barbaric nature due to dragon disasters. In addition, their residences are all located around the city, so they caused great damage after going crazy. Since then, no force has dared to cultivate Earth-Strike Dragons, and even the dragon caravans have been much less.
In this life, because Joshua had developed a vaccine for Crazy Dragon disease very early, the harm brought by Crazy Dragon disease is far less than that of previous life, so that the Earthly Dragon is still an indispensable part of the Mycrov tribes.
The Earth-Strike Dragon trained by the Dragon Caravan named Baiya has grown up. It has the strength of high-level silver based on its size and shell alone. The human being who can knock it out with a collision must be around the middle level of gold.
"how."
After patting the ashes on the sleeves, Joshua stood up with some confusion and prepared to go out to see the situation. He had noticed the man on the roadside for a long time, but he didn't expect that this person would attack the caravan: "What is the idea of the middle-level golden caravan?"
You know, the middle-level Golden rank can already be regarded as a leader in a place. This kind of existence robbed the caravan is almost like the commander of the local legion to become a bandit, which is incredible.
However, Joshua soon knew what the other party was thinking.
Since it was winter, the caravan's guards and owners were wearing thick long clothes, and Joshua was no exception. He was too lazy to use magic to change his appearance, so he wore a hooded robe with a mask. However, the man standing in front of the coma of the Earth Dragon confronted the guards was dressed very simple.
The man with a rough appearance and scarred face was covered with a wild black short leather armor on his upper body, with two sharp scimitars around his waist, and a necklace composed of animal teeth of various sizes hanging around his neck. A roaring bear-head tattoo was painted on his forehead, proving his identity as a barbarian warrior.
Because of his professional ethics, Zhan Zhanli Li confronted the barbarian warrior, but no one knew that the existence of knocking the Earth Dragon out of one blow was definitely not something they could deal with. The owner of the caravan was trying to communicate with the other party at this time, and he was willing to spend money and some goods to exchange for the safety of the caravan.
Generally speaking, as long as you are willing to hand over the money, most robbers will not kill people deliberately. After all, killing people randomly does not have any benefits except for asking them to submit a wanted order. However, the barbarian warrior just shook his head silently and did not communicate with the caravan leader at all.
But suddenly, he turned his head and looked at Joshua who had just walked out of the back of the dragon car. His blue eyes were hot.
It turned out to be for me.
After looking at each other, the warrior immediately understood this.
But this is even more strange. Joshua frowned. If the other party is a five-colored dragon clan or a cultist who sent the killer after learning that he was traveling alone, then his strength must be at least at the high level of Jiyi. In other words, at least a few high priests must be dispatched. No matter how many gold-level existences are, they cannot stop him from taking action with all his strength. No one should be unclear about this after the Battle of the Holy Mountain.
Just one middle-level gold... This is almost an insult. Joshua's heart was not fluctuating, and he even wanted to laugh.
"grown ups!"
However, the facts were always beyond the expectations of the warrior. After seeing Joshua, the barbarian warrior not only did not step forward to attack, but immediately knelt on one knee, and then saluted the warrior respectfully with the tradition of the barbarian. He said enthusiastically in a less skillful verbal phrase: "Please give me a chance to challenge you!"
The entire caravan, including the soldiers, was stunned for a moment. The caravan owner, a gray-haired middle-aged northerner and his guards all turned their heads to look at Joshua, and then immediately lowered his eyes and did not dare to look at the warrior.
Although this middle-aged man had known for a long time that the identity of this guest who had always covered his face and always gave people a sense of inexplicable fear would never be simple, but he did not expect that his identity would be so great that a savage warrior in the middle level of the golden barbarian warrior would be so respectful. For a moment, he didn't know what to do, so he could only tremble and retreat aside with his guards to make room for the two of them.
"You want to challenge me?" Joshua really didn't know what to say at this time. He walked forward slowly and reached out to signal the caravan members to continue to retreat. The warrior looked at the other party with some amusement: "Are you sure you know who I am?"
"Of course, sir!" the barbarian shouted, with a full sense of fanaticism in his tone: "It is because I know it is you that I am waiting here!"
“Well.”
He looked at the panic-ridden caravan members around him, and there were many women and children. Although Joshua was a little confused, he knew that it was not the time to ask questions. He shook his head and said, "It's not possible here, go to the woods next to him."
After saying that, the warrior disappeared, and the barbarian soldier was overjoyed after hearing this. He immediately stood up, turned into a black wind, and ran towards the forest on the right.
Nearly a minute later, two figures appeared in the middle of an ordinary forest at the junction of Moldova and Moldavia.
Putting down the hood, Joshua looked at the barbarian warrior in front of him who was still excited and had no change in his expression. He asked directly: "How do you know I was heading to Moldova in this car?"
It was obvious that the barbarian knew the identity of the warrior, but he was quite cautious and did not reveal Joshua's name in front of the caravan.
"My name is Landu, and I come from the Corva swamp southwest of the mainland." Because I saw the warrior's face, the barbarian warrior's attitude became even more respectful. He pulled out the swords at his waist and inserted them into the snow in front of him, indicating that he had no evil thoughts. The barbarian named Landu shouted: "Sir, I have been fortunate to witness your fighting posture in the Holy Mountain..."
Since Lando's common term is not very good, Joshua only understood one rough idea, but the meaning has been conveyed.
For this reason, the warrior sighed deeply.
The barbarian warrior in front of him was, in a sense, his admirer.
Because they are close to the holy mountain in the far sea, almost all creatures on the land in the far south believe in the Seven Gods, and the barbarian tribe in the Corva swamp is no exception. Landu, as one of the most powerful warriors in the tribe, responded to the call very early and went to the holy mountain to resist the mad dragon. He witnessed a series of battles by Joshua on the holy mountain.
The barbarian who worships power was almost instantly impressed by the power of the warriors, and there was no need to say anything about what happened next. Lando set out with full action to head to the north, preparing to follow the strong man in his heart.
The reason why he knew Joshua's itinerary was a coincidence. At that time, he had just arrived at the main city of Moldavia, and he happened to see the dragon carriage heading towards Moldova. Although Joshua restrained his momentum and strength, the barbarian warriors could easily distinguish the unique smell of any person, so he chased him along the marks, and then took advantage of the rest of the dragon carriage to go around in front and blocked the carriage to challenge Joshua.
The customs of barbarians are mostly very simple. If you follow someone, you must challenge that person with all your might. Lando wants to experience the power of the warriors personally.
"It's a straightforward personality..."
Joshua sighed, staring at the savage warrior who had already picked up his sword and was ready to go, and said seriously: "I accept your challenge, but you are too weak."
"It doesn't matter, Lord Earl!"
Landukong waved his hands with two swords, and two iron-gray weapons slashed through the atmosphere, leaving a red mark in the air. This was the firelight generated by the rapid friction of steel. The harsh buzzing made the snow on the branches within hundreds of meters shaking off. The barbarian warrior's muscles were tense, and he was eager to try: "Please use all your strength!"
The warrior blinked and clenched his fists.
"OK."
In the distance, the Baiya Chamber of Commerce, who had already awakened the dragon and was about to set off in a hurry, suddenly heard a loud noise.
The sound was so grand that even the thunder was extremely sensational. It easily spread towards the woods several kilometers away without any signs of attenuation.
All kinds of wild beasts lurking in the forest and waiting for the winter to pass were awakened by the sound, and then fled from their nests in horror. The invisible fluctuations spread in all directions, causing the snow on the pine trees to shake off.
Suddenly, with a point in the center of the forest as the center, all the pine trees within a radius of several kilometers shook off the snow and returned to green, causing a green circle to appear on the originally pale earth.
...
When Lando woke up from his coma, he was seeing Joshua sitting by the campfire, roasting several wild boar legs.
The skin of the barbecue was browned and oil was sizzling under the flames. Joshua poured spices on it, and the fragrance suddenly filled the air.
"Wake up?"
Without looking back, Joshua knew that the barbarian had woken up. He said lightly: "Your weapon is placed under the tree on the left."
Upon hearing this, Lando twisted his extremely sore neck and looked to the left. The two swords were indeed placed there. The barbarian stood up respectfully and saluted, then dragged his body that was about to fall apart to retrieve his weapon.
Compared with the previous fanaticism, Lando has now calmed down a lot. Although his eyes at Joshua are still admiring, there is an unconcealable fear.
No matter who it is, he will feel frightened after being almost punched to death.
Joshua didn't care so much, and he didn't have time to care about Rando's thoughts. Although the barbarian in front of him was his admirer, he was also the culprit who disturbed his vacation trip. During the few hours when the other party was unconscious, the warrior had already figured out how to deal with him.
"You are also a middle-level golden rank after all."
With a casual pick, he threw a wild boar leg inserted into a wooden stick to the other party. Joshua asked calmly: "I'm sure I want to be my follower? Why?"
In the warrior's past life, many people planned to join his battle group because of his fame and strength, but this was the first time in this life. Although the barbarians in the Far South Swamp were indeed the kind of guy who would admire him because of his strong strength, no matter how he looked at it, Lando's decision was too rash, and he wanted to know the reason.
"That's natural, sir."
After taking the barbecue, the barbarian warrior didn't think there was anything wrong with his ideas. He said carelessly: "As for why, it is natural to follow the strong, let alone you are such a strong dragon slayer. I want to learn the mystery of dragon slaying from you!"
While eating barbecue, Lando explained the reason. The Corva Everglades have always been the habitat of the barbarians in the far south. There are hundreds of barbarian tribes living in that vast area, and the tribe where Lando is located is one of the most powerful.
The swamp barbarians rarely communicate with each other. They make a living by taming alien insects and various magical creatures. Although Landu's tribal life is not rich, it is peaceful enough. The dragon disaster that swept across the entire Far South continent is beyond their expectations.
There are several powerful black dragons living in the Corva swamp. They were originally respectful to the barbarian tribes and never disturbed each other. There were even several barbarian tribes who would offer sacrifices to them. However, as soon as the dragon disaster arrived, these black dragons revealed their nature. They launched a raid on the barbarians in the entire swamp in a late night, killing tens of thousands of barbarian women and children.
Most of Lando's family were safe and sound, but his sister lost two legs. If it weren't for the pastor of the Seven Gods Church who arrived and drove out the negative energy in the girl's body, it would be hard to say whether she could save her life.
Speaking of this, the black-haired and blue-eyed barbarian warrior's face immediately became ferocious, and the giant totem tattoo on his forehead also emitted a slight red light, but his emotions were very calm. Lando looked up and looked at Joshua. He respectfully said to the warrior in a calm tone: "My strength has fallen into a bottleneck, and it is difficult to reach the high level of gold to fight those adult dragons... So, I want to be your follower and get your guidance."
"Sir Earl, I have seen the battle process between you and the dragon with my own eyes. I want to learn that way of fighting."
After saying that, he put down the barbecue in his hand, then knelt on his knees, and offered Joshua his two swords.
Giving weapons to others is a ceremony for barbarians to offer their own loyalty.
"Hungry for strength and want revenge, so I plan to follow me."
Joshua also slowly stood up. He walked to Lando, and simply took the two swords from the barbarian's hand, and put them back in the other party's hand, indicating that he recognized the other party's identity as his followers. The warrior chuckled: "The idea is not bad, at least you are very honest."
Being so straightforward and neatly admitted, Lando suddenly felt ecstatic. He showed an unconcealed look of excitement on his face, but he did not dare to cheer loudly because of his face.
There are many reasons why Joshua simply acknowledged the identity of the other party's followers. One of them is because of Lando's strength.
Even if a middle-level golden barbarian warrior is temporarily caught in a bottleneck, his strength can be considered very strong. After the magic wave, Landu even has the possibility of extreme impact. If he is guided for a while, his strength may continue to rise.
In addition, Winter Castle Academy was short of several war teachers at this time. Nostradamus had always wanted to make Winter Castle Academy a comprehensive professional academy, not just a mage academy. But for him, it was easy to find a mage, and it was a bit difficult for powerful knights, warriors and rangers. Lando came to him and solved the problem.
"To be honest, I have a special purpose this time out, you can't follow me."
He picked up a stone from the ground, and the warrior pinched it, and the black and red fighting spirit in his hand surged. When Joshua opened his hand, the originally ordinary gray rock had turned into a black and red ball, exuding an inexplicable danger. He handed it to Lando: "This stone contains my fighting spirit. Take it with you and go to Winter Fort near the Snow Mountain of Nicee. Someone will arrange your accommodation."
"When I come back from solving this, I will give you some advice on your strength."
The barbarian warrior was overjoyed. He swallowed his saliva and carefully took the ball handed over by Joshua and put it in his arms. Although Rando lived in the swamp, he was not stupid, so he could naturally see Joshua's intentions, so he immediately put his swords on his waist and then decisively left, as if he was afraid that the warrior would change his mind.
Watching Lando disappear into the woods, Joshua sat in place. After a long time, he touched his chin.
"Strange... You can meet a golden powerful man who will automatically surrender." The warrior murmured to himself: "Although the divine nature given to me by Ogner contains the power of luck, it should not be this level, right?"
Speaking of this, Joshua pondered for a while and frowned.
“Has my charm been restored?”
Shaking his head, the warrior decided to give up this nonsense speculation.
He had arrived in Moldova, and the Lando thing was just a small episode. What Joshua had to do now was to go to the main city to find out about the cultists, and then go to the surrounding Mount Modes to visit the Brandons and his wife.
Meanwhile, in northwest of Moldova, Mount Modes.
The handsome swordsman with dazzling blonde hair held a report in his hand, his face as deep as water.
"Confirm the message is true?"
He frowned and asked the Ranger who sent the news, "Are you sure it's not a rumor spread by the cultists?"
"Of course not, Lord Brandon." Ranger looked dusty, his eyebrows and hair were covered with ice and snow. He said in a hurry: "My brother saw that scene with his own eyes... the forest withered, the grass turned into ashes, and all vitality was plundered..."
Speaking of this, he swallowed, and said in a tone with a hint of fear: "'Herras the Wildered' has really come to the North!"
