Chapter Twenty-Six: The Shackles of the Gods

Joshua was hairy.

Now he has a feeling that he has been pitted, and for hundreds of years, Liana has found a lot of people, but they have all become cannon fodder.

To save her soul fire, she also has to face the red dragon and divine power, both of which are big problems.

It has seen the power of the red dragon just now, not to mention the dragon's breath, even if it is a claw, Joxiu has to hang up.

The strength of the near-legend is still an ancient dragon species, which is not something he can compete with at all.

Even if you don't mention this red dragon, there is still the suppression of divine power in it, this thing, even if it is a quasi-legendary strength, you can't eat it.

Kamui's awe-inspiring is no joke, listening to Liana's appearance, there is still a lot of divine power left there.

Seeing that Joxiu was a little flinching, Liana sneered with disdain.

Rolling her eyelids, Liana continued: "I also said that the gentleman is scared when he is so scared. Okay, okay, I'm not going to tease you anymore. ”

"Originally, that red dragon, due to the restrictions of the God of War, could only operate in the seat where I was sealed."

"But because its strength has increased over the centuries and the power of its restrictions has been weakened, it is not willing to be lonely and will often come out to move."

"If it weren't for Fei De's compulsion, it wouldn't have stayed here at all, dragons are all arrogant species."

"That divine power was used by him to build a magic array, and ordinary people would be permanently suppressed by the divinity when they entered it."

"And my soul fire is in the center of the magic array, and it is sealed with most of its divine power."

Liana smiled and tilted her head slightly, looking straight at Yue Xiudao: "First point, you must have a way to be such a gentleman, don't you?" ”

Joxiu didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in Liana's words at all, and said, "The second question is, I'm not even a legend, and the coercion of divinity is not something I can compete with, unless ...... Is there a way you can help me? ”

Liana shook her head, a confident and affirmative tone, "You're a faithless person. ”

"More importantly, you are still a staunch unbeliever."

"I believe that nothing can shake your faith in yourself, can you?"

"You have the power to break the shackles of this god!"

……

The next day, Joshua changed into a scholar's attire, put on the red floral badge, and touched his face and hair with a slight touch of dirt on his fingers.

It looks a little embarrassing, but it's not unclassy.

At noon, in an aisle in the deserted mountain plain.

A caravan passing by with a large number of goods, surrounded by escorted mercenaries.

It was probably time to rest, or perhaps the heat of the scorching sun made them decide to pause and rest.

The mercenaries were gulping water, and some wanted to secretly drink a few sips of the exchanged wine, but a cadre found them drinking and scolded them.

The merchants who got out of the carriage were quite satisfied with this, and the seriousness of the mercenaries made them feel good, and they planned to go back and give more rewards.

At the same time, the miscellaneous servants who were still ordering to follow were counting the goods and checking the wheels of the transported vehicles for any loose parts.

"Commander, a man rushed out of the woods just now, saying that he hoped to spend a gold coin to have a good ride, you see?"

A thin man dressed as a thief ran up to a middle-aged mercenary.

"Huh?" The middle-aged mercenary retracted the rag that was wiping the big sword, "A gold coin, it's generous enough, it's almost worth one-tenth of the reward for our mission, take me to see it." ”

This is a personable man, a wealthy upper-class person, maybe something happened on the road, such as an attack by a bandit, which made him a little embarrassed.

When the middle-aged mercenary saw Joxiu, he immediately made a judgment in his heart.

Sure enough, when he got closer, the middle-aged mercenary saw the badge on Joxiu's body, and then thought of his scholar's robe, and suddenly understood.

With a little respect in his heart, he saluted slightly, in the mainland, scholars are always the most respectable group among the common people.

Even the aristocracy is not comparable, people have the most heartfelt awe of the aristocracy, but when it comes to respect, there is not much.

Because the aristocracy is always the one who oppresses them, and the scholar is the one who really brings the gospel to the whole continent.

The institutions and reforms they proposed, as well as their unique wisdom, have benefited the vast number of people.

For example, the abolition of slavery was also advocated by a sage, and even though there is still a lot of underground hard work, it is much better than before.

In the past, that was the blatantness that was not enough to describe the real rampant!

"You know I'm a scholar?"

Joxiu pretended to be surprised, and only then did he pretend to be stunned when he saw the middle-aged mercenary pointing to his badge to explain.

"I see, I didn't know it was actually a symbol of a scholar." Joshu scratched his head in embarrassment.

"When Mentor Boumne gave me this badge, he seemed to mention it."

"It's just that I was thinking about an academic problem at that time, and I was ashamed that I didn't hear it clearly......"

"Hehe......" The middle-aged mercenary smiled kindly, and it was not surprising to him that the scholar's dedication and fanaticism to scholarship were famous.

"When you find that the scholar you are talking to is in a trance, please do not blame him, because there is a good chance that he has a flash of inspiration for the benefit of people!"

Yoxiu's behavior similar to a self-destruction scandal made him feel good, and he stuffed back the gold coins handed over.

The middle-aged mercenary said with a straight face: "Little brother scholar, if you do this, you look down on us as mercenaries too much. ”

"Maybe other people, even nobles, even give me this money, I won't necessarily let him follow."

"However, we respect you scholars from the bottom of our hearts who speak up for us at the bottom and make our lives better!"

"My wife, who was once a slave, would not have been able to marry such a virtuous woman and build a warm family if it had not been for the abolition of slavery by the Sages of Banderley."

The middle-aged mercenary's tone was very sincere, and Joxiu seemed to be moved, holding his hand for a long time without saying a word.

"What? The Red Dragon of the Ancient Species?! ”

Now Joxiu was invited to the carriage in which the middle-aged mercenaries were riding, a treatment that only belonged to a few cadres and above.

Pu passed the road to take a hitchhiker, at most like a handyman on foot.

The middle-aged mercenary's name was Odd, and he asked about Joshua's embarrassment, and couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Joshua's description.

In Joshua's version, he visits a friend in Ulhe City, but has no money left over for research, so he has to mix and match in a caravan.

Speaking of which, Ode admires Joshua even more, and scholars who give up even the enjoyment of life for the sake of studying should be respected.

Then they encountered several bandits along the way, all of which were successfully repulsed, only to be attacked by a dragon at a bend in a large mountain.

This attack was beyond everyone's expectations, and a weak scholar like Joxiu was supposed to be inferior to ordinary young people in terms of physique, and he should have been the first to die.

Surprisingly, the Red Dragon didn't seem to have any interest in him, so Joxiu rushed into the forest while the Red Dragon was playing tricks on the others.

After hiding inside for a while, he sneaked out when he felt that the red dragon was almost gone, and happened to encounter the caravan escorted by Odd.

To the effect that this is the case, Joshua's description of the Red Dragon's attacks and near-death made Odd, a bystander, frightened for a while.

The cadre-level mercenaries on the side also gathered around Joxiu, who were similar to Aode, and secretly sweated for Joxiu.

Dragons or something, it's still a little far away from them.

These mercenaries who have come from difficult times are self-aware, and it is only those young mercenaries who are young and promising, but do not know the height of the sky, to dream of slaying dragons.

At the same time, they were all genuinely happy that Joshua had escaped.

Odd asked, "Little Brother Joshua, I heard that you are coming to Azure City for the first time?" If you're not in a hurry, would you like to accompany us to dinner? ”

"It's still easy to ask a person in the mercenary tavern."
