Josiah regretted not bringing popcorn and coke to visit Assequero.
Originally, Josiah wanted to have a verbal battle with these stubborn high elves, which was why he used this method to lay his cards on the table.
In the end, the two sides of this verbal battle became the high elves' elders. Elder Queytoan and Elder Sindonar chose to stand on Josiah's side, while the other three elders stood on the opposite side.
Elder Queytoan turned out to be a hidden philosopher and debater. He passionately refuted the other three elders alone.
The topics he cited ranged from the first mission of the high elves to the meaning of life's existence, almost encompassing the truth of the entire universe.
Josh was a little taken aback as he listened on from the side. For some reason, he felt like he should write the word 'objection' next to this elder's name in red.
The friendly spokesperson was so outstanding that Josiah didn't know what to say, and he didn't even have the space to intervene.
After all, this was the high elves' internal affairs.
But no matter how Elder Queytoan refuted the other elders' arrogant prejudice, the young high elves around him still couldn't accept Josiah.
It was impossible to change their fixed outlook on life with just a few words.
"Is it an honor to give your granddaughter to those humans and have her try her best to please them?!" an elderly elder said sternly.
His words were loud enough for everyone present to hear clearly.
At that moment, Elder Queytoan, who had been speaking with confidence, froze for a moment, while Aurelia, who was beside him, was stabbed in the spot she didn't want to be mentioned the most.
Elder Queytoan's Adam's apple moved slightly. He wanted to say something to refute, but all that was left was silence.
At this moment, grayish-white magic suddenly enveloped the entire hall.
"Blasphemer!"
The elders instantly realized that this was the power of Chaos that rendered mana ineffective.
Elder Sindonar was right. Among the five high elves, apart from Elder Sindonar, the other four elders had the ability to use magic in the realm of Chaos.
But even if they had this ability, they would not be able to defeat an Ice Dragon!
The elderly elder wanted to cast magic on Josiah, but the frost on the ground froze his arms and ankles.
Josiah slowly walked towards the elder.
"Blasphemer, this isn't you …"
Josiah walked up to him expressionlessly and punched him in the cheek without any mercy.
This violent behavior stunned all the High Elves, including the other four elders …
Josiah didn't stop there. When the elder was about to say something, Josiah once again punched him in the face.
Some of the young High Elves were clearly enraged by Josiah's actions. As an outsider, Josiah had publicly beaten up their respected leader. Not many High Elves could tolerate it.
But the frost on the ground stopped the High Elves in their tracks.
Josiah's punch was so heavy that even the High Elves, who were several times stronger than humans, had bruises on their faces …
The heavy blows seemed to have smashed the arrogance that the High Elves had accumulated over thousands of years into pieces.
The young High Elves below were already in a state of fury.
But Josiah had no intention of stopping until the next punch landed on the elder's abdomen. The elderly High Elf couldn't take it anymore and knelt on the ground.
Josiah didn't let him go, but Hiri gently held his arm.
Hiri's fingertips gently touched the blood on Josiah's fist. Josiah's punch was too heavy, and the High Elf's clothes were decorated with metal, so there were some wounds on his hand.
Josiah could see the meaning in Hiri's eyes: "I should be the one doing this."
"Phew …" Josiah let out a deep breath. Feeling the cold touch of Hiri's hands, Josiah barely recovered from his anger.
Josiah's gaze swept across the High Elf elders who were bound by the ice, as well as Aurelia, who was staring at him with wide eyes, and Leaves.
Usually, the biggest impression that Josiah gave them was that he was "unreliable," as if he didn't care about anything. That was why Ahr used the term "pickled fish" to describe Josiah.
But just now, Josiah used his actions to tell them that the person in front of them was a terrifying ruler!
When Josiah looked at Aurelia again, she hurriedly lowered her head.
"Why are you looking away? Aurelia! "
Josiah questioned Aurelia loudly. His voice could also be heard by all the High Elves present.
"Is it shameful to perform in Noland? Is it shameful for you to have so many people listen to your performance? "
Josiah's questioning made Aurelia clench her fists. The melody of "Long Live Life" was still echoing in her ears. Before, she did feel that it was shameful to perform in front of so many people, but it was definitely not shameful.
The video in the air had already entered the stage of Brass Dragon's interview with her, but the scene recorded in the video was a hall that Aurelia had never seen before.
There were many humans in different costumes sitting in the hall. They quietly watched the part where Brass Dragon interviewed Aurelia. Some of the humans were even talking about it. When Aurelia talked about her criteria for choosing a partner, the entire hall went into a state of excitement.
The shouts full of male hormones also made Aurelia so ashamed that she wanted to cover her ears.
Josiah did not look at Aurelia again. He walked straight to the edge of the hall and glanced at the emotional High Elves.
"Everyone, according to your elder's prophecy, this city should have fallen three days ago, but all of you are still alive and well … I think all of you know the reason." Josiah pointed to the power of faith gathered behind him. "But unfortunately, your city is still in a state of decline. Only Miss Aurelia and Ahr, the two saviors, are not enough. Their efforts have only prolonged your survival."
"So this is a recruitment advertisement." Josiah glanced at everyone present and said, "The Forgotten Land's Hearthstone Tavern is looking for a savior to save Assequero. If you are interested, you can come and talk to me in detail."
When Josiah finished speaking, he was suddenly pulled to the side by Hiri.
"Wait … Josiah, didn't you say it was good before? Why did you suddenly … "
"I don't think it's possible to persuade them just by saying it. It's more reliable to put it into practice."
At this point, Josiah looked at the two High Elf elders behind him who still had objections. They had broken free from the Ice Dragon and were looking at Josiah with dangerous eyes.
