Noble Emblem

In Taote Manor, Joshua understood the heart of the earth element because of his first meditation, and he is still excited.

However, because the specialty of Heart of Earth Element comes with the property of calming people's hearts, Joshua looks normal on the surface now.

Joshua's strength has indeed improved greatly, but in the eyes of Liang Lidong and others, it is just that. In the eyes of ordinary professionals, the heart of the earth element is a rare specialty, and it is not an exaggeration to describe him as a genius. Such a genius can be regarded as an eye-catching object wherever he is placed.

But whether it is Liang Lidong, Emma, ​​Alice, not to mention Kyle who has the blood of the brave, they all have their own special abilities, so Joshua's heart of earth element is indeed good in the eyes of a few people, but That's all.

Because the city of Sicily has been almost destroyed, the whole city is now sleeping, and there is a serious shortage of stones.

Because large stone mines are too far away from the city of Sicily, transporting them here is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Therefore, several small quarries near the city of Sicily suddenly became fragrant buns. There is a small quarry behind Taote Manor. In the past, no one went to mine it because of the curse. But now that the curse has been removed, Liang Lidong invited a dozen miners to mine a pile of stones and pile them outside the manor.

This was a real advertisement, and people came to the door the next day, and these people had a lot to do with Joshua.

The Roden family...the family of Joshua's fiancée.

The person who came was a middle-aged butler. Generally, such purchases were completed by aristocratic butlers.

He knocked on the door of the manor and saw Joshua coming out. At first, he stepped back in fear, but when he saw that the abscess on Joshua's face was gone, he was surprised: "Boy, is your curse gone?"

"Roshid, long time no see." When Joshua saw the housekeeper of the Roden family, his expression was not friendly.

"You're a lucky kid." There was some sympathy on Luo Shide's old face: "You actually survived such a curse. The entire city of Sicily was affected by the disaster, but you didn't do anything at all, and you still had to do it. We can also quarry stones, so it seems like your family won’t disappear anytime soon.”

Joshua frowned and said, "Roshid. Are you just here to ridicule me? If you have something to do, just leave. If nothing else, get out."

Don’t blame Joshua for his bad attitude. When his family was cursed two years ago, it was the Roden family, once their closest ally, who was the first to betray him. That's okay, it's human nature to stay away from danger. But afterwards, they resorted to adding insult to injury, and even tried their best to belittle him at the banquets of various nobles. He even disgustedly slandered the Taut family.

Joshua meets the Roden family. He didn't directly kick him up, which was already considered to be very courageous.

"My temper actually got worse." Luo Shide chuckled and pointed to the stones piled outside the manor: "We have packaged all the stones in your quarry. After they are quarried, they will be sent directly to our Roden family. Considering the good relationship between our two families, one hundred gold coins is an advantage for you."

"roll!"

After Joshua cursed loudly. He turned around and closed the iron gate of the manor.

Although Joshua doesn’t know much about business matters, he also knows it. My own small quarry should be worth at least two hundred gold coins.

The reason why he sold it at a low price a few days ago was because he and Julie had reached a point of desperation, and in that case, even if the manor was sold at a low price, no one would dare to buy it, except the teacher.

Liang Lidong told him that if someone came to buy stones from the quarry, they should ask for at least six hundred dollars. With this change of hands, three times the price fell into Liang Lidong's pocket.

This was the property of the Taote family, but now it became someone else's. But Joshua had no objection at all. He knew very well that if it hadn't been for the teacher, he and Julie would have starved to death a few days ago. If it hadn't been for the teacher, the curse of Taote Manor would not have been solved at all.

Now he understands one thing... In this world, money and status are important, but the most important thing is strength.

The teacher and his friends are very strong, so they can lift the curse that almost wiped out the Taut family, so they can make the elves retreat without any damage to the manor.

As long as you have strength, you will have money and status.

As long as he has the strength, one day he can trample the Roden family under his feet and make grandpa regret it until he dies of old age.

Liang Lidong didn't know Joshua's inner journey. He was currently in contact with the leader of the Killer Guild in the slums. If he wanted to find information, the Killer Guild was the fastest way.

Of course, he did not put all his hopes in the Killers' Guild. He also went to several civilian taverns to spread the news. If anyone knew the reason for the death of the two souls, he would be rewarded with a hundred gold coins. If he knew some clues, he would be rewarded. Ten gold coins can be awarded.

Although those who do evil in secret are well hidden, there are always clues left in everything. As long as he catches a little bit, he believes that he can follow the clues and pull them out.

Emma, ​​Kyle, and Alice continued to go to the mercenary union to take on tasks and exercise their combat effectiveness.

Days went by, and there was no leader about the elves' affairs yet, but the small quarry had been taken over. A generous bright bishop spent 700 gold coins to buy the entire small quarry. Down.

This business was a huge profit... Kyle was extremely surprised when he saw the seven large boxes of gold coins. Now he admired his teacher's earning ability more and more. He was truly worthy of being a priest of Goddess Woking.

Not long after the Bishop of the Temple of Light left, the Roden family came to visit again.

This time it was a woman, a very beautiful woman.

She has fiery red hair, a graceful figure, a tall figure, and an icy temperament.

Generally, ice spellcasters have a cold personality. The same goes for the ice magic swordsman.

She led more than 20 people and knocked on the door of the manor. The person in charge of opening the door for her was Julie.

Julie looked at this woman in surprise: "Miss Yiwen, you are here!"

At this time, the abscess on Julie's body had completely healed, and her whole body was under the treatment of hydrotherapy. Her appearance has changed back to her original appearance, she is very beautiful, more beautiful than Yiwen.

Yiwen looked at Julie up and down for a while. Then he raised his right hand wearing a white glove and slapped Julie directly in the face, knocking the girl backwards and falling to the ground.

Her face turned red quickly, and then began to turn a little black and swollen.

"Where's Joshua? Let him come out to see me." Yiwen stared at Julie coldly: "As I said, your face is disgusting. I'll hit you every time I see it. Either you destroy it yourself or I helped you destroy it. If your face still looks like this next time I see you, I will break both of your legs."

Julie got up and ran back directly. She was the maid. Naturally weak against nobles.

It didn't take long. Joshua came out, his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

He was dragging a long sword in his hand, and the tip of the sword passed across the ground, occasionally sparking a few sparks.

He stopped more than ten meters in front of Yiwen, his eyes narrowed into slits: "Did you hit Julie just now?"

"So what if it's me?" Yiwen looked Joshua up and down: "I heard that your illness was cured, so I came over to take a look. I didn't expect that. Not only were you cured, but you were also stronger. It seems that you It’s really the source of the rumored disaster. Using the lives of your family members in exchange for your own strength, what’s the difference between this and a sacrifice.”

"I don't understand. Why did the Roden family betray us so quickly?" Joshua looked at the woman in front of him who had an unforgettable memory. His chest was already full of anger, but the ability of the Heart of the Earth Element was special. But he kept calm like a wooden person: "I don't even understand why Julie has any grudge against you, why would you target her like this?"

Yiwen didn't answer Joshua's question. Her eyes fell on Joshua's long sword, with a cold mockery on her face: "Yes, I'm a bit tired, but you dare to come to see me with a long sword." Me. Do you want to fight me?"

"I want to get some justice for Julie."

"No problem, but the truth has to do with strength."

Yiwen pulled out the long sword in his hand. It was a magic weapon with light silver magic lines on it. After taking it out of the sheath, a layer of white smoke came out of the sword.

"You can have a fight with me, don't worry, I won't kill you, but if you lose, you have to give me the quarry for free."

"The quarry has been sold to someone else."

"That's your business. I don't care. I'm only responsible for defeating you."

Joshua shook his head: "I can't make the decision, but I will still fight you."

"It doesn't matter, I have other ideas." Yiwen's smile was a bit vicious: "If you lose, it doesn't matter if you don't give me the quarry, but I will give you your favor, Zhu Li will kill you. You are a noble and you will be in trouble if I kill you, but killing a maid is just a matter of paying a few silver coins."

"You poisonous woman!" Even with the heart of the earth element by his side, Joshua could no longer maintain his calmness: "I didn't think you were a good woman until I was blind two years ago."

"Whether I am a good woman or not is not up to you to decide." Yiwen pointed his sword straight and slowly walked towards Joshua.

At this time, there was no need to fight, and Joshua understood that he had been forced to a point of no return.

He took the lead and rushed towards Yiwen with his long sword, his momentum was very strong.

It's a pity that the strength of the two sides is too different, and it is useless no matter how strong the momentum is. Yiwen knocked Joshua's long sword away with just a slight pick, and then kicked Joshua to the ground.

Although Joshua is very talented, he has not yet formally learned swordsmanship. Although he has understood the heart of the earth element, he has not learned a single magic.

Liang Lidong planned to let him meditate and learn to move quickly. After laying a solid foundation, he would teach him swordsmanship and magic.

No one expected that people from the Roden family would come to their door so quickly.

The tip of Yiwen's sword gently touched Joshua's throat. She looked down at her former fiancé: "You may be stronger, but you are still trash. In fact, I didn't like you at the beginning. If your Taote family hadn't been so powerful, how could my father have asked you to be my fiancé! My ideal husband must not only have a handsome appearance, but also be a strong man."

"You have no strength at all, what's the use of just having looks... Oh, you can go sell chrysanthemums. I think this profession is very suitable for a sissy like you."

Yiwen pointed his sword at Joshua's throat, stepped on his chest with the other foot, and spoke disgusting language like a queen.

Joshua was so excited that his face turned red and veins popped out. He struggled desperately, but the opponent's foot stepped on him, like a mountain pressing down on him. He tried his best and couldn't move himself up even half an inch. .

"Now it's your choice." Yiwen looked down at the man at his feet with contempt: "Do you want Julie's life or the quarry?"

Joshua was extremely angry now, but also extremely entangled. A few days ago, he would definitely have said that he wanted Julie's life without hesitation. After all, the quarry is something external. But now the quarry is no longer his property, but the teacher's. He has no way to make the decision to sell the quarry. Besides, the quarry has been booked by the Bishop of the Temple of Light.

"It seems that you are going to the quarry." Yiwen said cheerfully: "It turns out that Julie is still not too important in your heart. You, Joshua, are also a person who loves money. Julie is very important to you." How wonderful, you have to give up on her..."

"You fart!" Joshua shouted angrily.

Evan smiled, and then stepped heavily on Joshua's lower abdomen. The latter arched up in pain like a boiled prawn, and at the same time made a suffocating sound from his mouth.

Yiwen's attack was so severe that Joshua almost fainted.

After snorting disdainfully, Yiwen stepped over Joshua's head and walked into the front manor. She was about to kill the maid named Julie.

But at this moment, a wind blade shot towards her. Yiwen quickly jumped back to avoid it, then turned to look at the direction of the attack.

She saw two women and one man on the left side of the road, a very heroic young man, an incredibly beautiful girl, and a beautiful half-elf riding a unicorn.

"This is our personal grudge, please don't interfere." Yiwen didn't know the figures of these three people, and thought they were just passing by.

The Roden family's intelligence capabilities are not strong. Yi Wen heard from the housekeeper that the Taut family had stones here, and that Joshua's body had recovered. She rushed over just to take down the small quarry. She didn't know what happened to Joshua's Taote family recently.

The Roden family was attacked by the elves a few nights ago. Although the core family members did not die, the manor was almost destroyed and was in urgent need of a large amount of stone for reconstruction.

The Roden family is not a big family in Sicily City. There are big families standing behind other small quarries. They can't afford to offend them, but there is no problem in offending Taote, a declining family.

With this idea in mind, Yiwen appeared at the gate of the manor. Things were going smoothly, but she didn't expect that someone was meddling in her own business. (To be continued.)
