The waterway of the Cross Canal is wide and deep, and its riverbed height is higher than that of the surrounding plains. If the flood surges, it will definitely flood thousands of miles.

But because the water god and the priests of the Water God Cult are maintaining and the existence of divine magic, even if the flood surges, it is impossible to spread out of the canal and will only flow into the sea at a faster speed.

The slight smell of the river water blew with the wind by the river, and the whirling yellow leaves fell on the water surface and slowly drifted away.

Joshua was eating jerky meat, but his eyes fell on the microwave on the river, motionless and didn't know what he was thinking.

Not long after, a young man with a mercenary crawled from below to the river bank and shouted: "Captain, Aladdin and others have chosen the right task, and I'll wait for you to go back and confirm."

Joshua came to his senses and turned around and said, "Well, go back."

Jumping down from the river bank, Joshua walked towards the small town not far away.

The small town is called Shindo City, with a population of about 100,000. It used to be very peaceful and there were not many people coming and going. After all, it was just an unknown small town.

But recently, there have been many caravans here. The Cross Canal passes through the front of the city and has a dock here. Many caravans are willing to stay in the city for a day or two to see if they can sell something or have something to purchase.

With more people, the city will become lively.

In fact, not only this city, but also a city or township near the Cross Canal, is obviously more prosperous than two months ago.

As a former lord, Joshua understood very well what this meant. More caravans, more bustling cities represented more taxes, and more settlement rates.

What is even more terrifying is that this is just the initial profit of the Cross Canal. As time goes by, people, especially merchants, will know the benefits of this canal, which Joshua can see. A year or two, there will be floating merchant ships everywhere on this Cross Canal. The Water God Cult and the Wealth God Cult can receive money without any effort, and people or forces related to this river will also receive great wealth.

Anyone with some vision can see the prospects of this canal.

Joshua sighed, and he knew very well who the river was, his greatest benefactor and his greatest enemy, Beta.

Enter the city and then into the simple mercenary union.

This is a small city, and it is already quite good to have mercenary unions stationed. There is definitely no way to compare with a big city.

There were more than a dozen mercenaries sitting in the hall, each of them looking like "I'm not easy to mess with".

Joshua found his companions and sat next to them.

There were exactly five people in the Mercenary Squad. Generally speaking, the more people in the Mercenary Squad, the better, but Joshua didn't think so. He remembered that when he had the ability of the "Round Table Knight" in the past, the team was decided by the five people.

Joshua felt that this should be the best number of people identified under Beta's special bloodline.

Mercenary teams are more expensive than elites. Five companions who cooperate with each other are more flexible and more powerful than a team of more than ten or twenty people.

This also shows the adventures of the past year.

"Boss, these are the tasks we chose, all of which are more suitable. Do you want to take a look?"

Joshua took it, looked at it for a while, put it on the table, and smiled and said, "The second and third ones are good. Everyone have a good rest today and we will set off tomorrow."

The others answered.

Joshua sighed lightly. When he gave his order, the whole city had to listen to him. Now... there are only four people.

It's really the difference between heaven and earth.

Joshua has always felt quite awkward when he was used to being arrogant and becoming an ordinary person.

But if you don’t get used to it, you have to get used to it. His enemy is Beta, the pope of the God of Wealth. The God of Wealth was a small church in the past, with only a few cities with churches and not many people.

But now, the God of Wealth, and the gathering places in every small town in Holevin, have churches of the God of Wealth. Recently, the Temple of Wealth has done several major things, such as distributing equipment design drawings, helping to build teleportation arrays, etc.

Although the God of Wealth is still a small sect, the whole world knows it in its reputation.

And I... am just the captain of a mercenary team.

There is almost no chance of revenge in this life.

And more importantly, the person he loves is still in his hands.

Joshua also knew that Julie must have put a lot of effort into it, and maybe she had already committed herself...

Thinking of this, Joshua felt a little chilled and extremely uncomfortable.

But in order not to make any strange things in front of his companions, he forced himself to do so, and there was still no expression on his face.

The four companions were drinking cheap fruit wine while chatting about the rumors in the mercenary world, and Joshua fell into memories. In the memory, he sat on the platform, and the whole city was trembling under his majesty. Julie stayed by her side gently and considerately.

In a daze, he felt someone shaking him. When he turned around, he found that he was a companion. He was a little unhappy at the moment. After all, he just recalled that when Julie and she had sex for the first time, she was as beautiful as a red flower.

The person who woke him pointed to the door: "The two women seem to be watching you."

Looking for me?

Joshua, who was somewhat puzzled, turned around and saw two women standing at the door, one was beautiful and cold, and the other was quite familiar with him, with two resentment in his beauty.

His mouth opened slightly and closed gently.

At this time, the entire mercenary union was quiet, and everyone looked at the two beauties at the door.

Joshua saw Julie's gaze, her warmth, but could see the deepest part of her soul.

Suddenly, Joshua felt his mouth dry and he stood up and walked towards the door.

A few minutes later, in a small house in the Mercenary Union, Judy stood outside the door while Joshua and Julie stayed inside.

In the dim environment, Julie, wearing a black and white maid suit, looks even more beautiful.

Joshua touched his chin, which had a beard half long. In the mercenary world, a captain would not be trusted by the team members if he looked too young, so Joshua had a beard and looked at least mature.

But now he regrets it. If he had known that he would have seen Julie today, he would have scraped it off.

"It's been a long time, master."

It was Julie who broke the silence first. She smiled, both in terms of expression and eyes, and was warm, with a kind of indifferent care.

"Yes, long time no see."

On the contrary, Joshua's voice was a little hoarse.

"How are you doing recently? I heard you have become a mercenary."

"good."

"Can you tell me? The life of a mercenary should be quite interesting."

Julie sat down next to the chair.

"If you want to hear it."

Joshua talked about his escape from the prison in Wojin City, wandering aimlessly like a walking corpse until one day he accidentally saved three trapped mercenaries and even stayed with them.

During this period, they have cleared out bandits, worked as bodyguards in caravans, dug up ancient tombs, and explored relics. Although most of the time is quite hard, they are all very fulfilling.

Joshua kept saying that Julie listened very seriously. Joshua seemed to have endless things to say, and Julie seemed to never hear enough.

But time always passes, and before you know it, the sky outside the window has darkened.

A gentle cough came from outside, which was a signal given by Judy, and it was time to leave.

Julie took out her package and placed it on the table.

The sound of gold coins flowing sounded and disappeared quickly.

"This is the gold coins I have saved in the past few years." Julie smiled and said, "Beta is also very good to the servants. My monthly salary is the same as the housekeeper. It is a gold coins a month. I have saved it for several years. In addition to the holiday rewards, over the years, I have saved more than eighty coins. It's very exaggerating. I think it's exaggerating. Master, take them away."

Joshua looked at Julie: "If you don't go with me, it doesn't make sense for me to take these gold coins."

"Don't be willful, master, do you want to be a mercenary for the rest of your life?" Julie sighed softly: "You are a descendant of a noble family. Revitalizing the family is your instinct in your bones, otherwise you wouldn't be a mercenary either. But being a mercenary is very dangerous. Equipment and intelligence require expenditures. You shouldn't save any money in the past or two years."

Joshua smiled bitterly. He had only saved six gold coins in the past or two years.

"Take these gold coins, go to other countries, buy a little noble status, and start over, master."

"Don't you really go with me?"

Julie shook her head and stood up.

"etc."

Joshua jumped up and wanted to rush over and hug Julie.

But Julie stretched out her hand and gently pressed it against his chest. The distance between the two was only an arm, but it was as far as heaven and hell.

Joshua's strength is stronger than Julie. If he exerts force, Julie can't stop him at all.

But this action made Joshua feel that there was a natural danger between the two of them, and he could not cross it at all.

"I hurt you last time, are you still hating me?"

Julie shook her head: "You are my master. Even if you kill me, I won't hate you."

"Then why?"

"Because if I go with you, you'll die."

"Then die together!"

Joshua shouted wildly: "I've lived enough anyway."

"It's okay for me to die, but the master cannot die." Julie stepped back step by step, and when she retreated to the door, she smiled coldly: "As long as you live, I will feel happy."

The door opened and closed again, making the room darker and darker.

Joshua stretched out his hand and then let it go again.

He sat back on the chair with his head in his arms, and two traces of water flowed out of his closed eyes.

The autumn wind outside the window was blew in a bleak state, just like the poet's sorrow.

No matter in that world, there is no regret medicine to take.
