"True super-geniuses, their names will forever be engraved on the Star Pillar of the land of heritage, and their light will shine throughout the entire Inmotati Empire."

Darlene said faintly.

"For example, the Violet Blade, the Golden Lion, and the others, right?"

Hewlett revealed a self-deprecating smile and said, "That's too far away from us."

Joelson's eyes flickered slightly.

"Most people can already judge the vast majority of potential in the Land of Heritage the first time. The second time is just because they are unwilling to go. After that, they will encounter a bottleneck in their cultivation and go to the Land of Heritage to try their luck."

Hewlett looked at Joelson, he said in an envious tone, "Joelson, actually, it's best if you go now, your strength is not weak, and you can go further in the Land of Heritage. You're not thirty years old this year, and your talent is also very high. Maybe."

Hewlett sighed and said, "Who knows? You might even be able to make your name appear at the low end of the Star Pillar."

"Hehe!"

A laugh.

It came from Alvin's mouth.

"Stop fooling around, Commander. If you can engrave your name on the Star Pillar, you'll be an existence that has the possibility of stepping into God's domain in the future. Do you think that he... Cough cough?"

Alvin coughed and suddenly changed his tone. "Do you think that our Sword and Rose mercenary group can produce an expert in God's domain?!"

Hewlett smiled and shook his head. The others also laughed a few times. Clearly, they did not think that Joelson could do it.

Joelson's talent was very high.

Although there were not many people who could reach his level of strength before the age of thirty, there were still a few thousand of the hundreds of races in the entire central continent.

How many God's domain experts were there in the entire continent?

One could count them with a snap of one's fingers!

It was ridiculous to say that Joelson could become a God's domain in the future.

It was simply too laughable.

Regardless of whether it was a knight or a mage, after years of cultivation, their appearance would be even younger than the average person.

They had clearly misjudged Joelson's age.

If they knew that Joelson was only 17 this year, they might have a different attitude.

Of course, Joelson had no desire to explain himself.

Land of Heritage, Star Pillar, a god-domain-level powerhouse.

Very interesting.

Joelson silently thought to himself.

...

"We're about to enter the Akenshi tribe's territory."

Hewlett rode on his horse and pointed to a patch of green ahead as he spoke.

Joelson looked over.

This was a desolate Gobi Desert. There was only yellow sand, strong winds, and fire-type earth-type magical beasts of all ranks.

The direction Hewlett was pointing at was an oasis in the desert. It was like a pearl embellishing the desert.

Joelson's expression was indifferent. If one looked carefully, one would discover that there was still a hint of worry hidden in his eyes.

It was already the twelfth day since they left the port.

Du Lu had not returned yet.

Joelson suddenly regretted letting du Lu enter the ancient ruins of the Dragon God. When he advanced to tier 9, perhaps entering together with Du Lu would be the best decision.

Bang!

Sand suddenly exploded in the sand, and a black figure shot towards Joelson's head like an arrow.

Whoosh!

But it was intercepted by another arrow midway.

A lizard with a sharp and long mouth and small blood-red eyes full of savagery was firmly nailed to the sand, still struggling.

Darlene slowly put away her longbow, glanced at Joelson, and said indifferently, "Although this desert lizard is only a tier 4 magic beast, if you don't pay attention, even a high-level knight might die under its claws."

Joelson did not say anything. He did not pay attention, but even if Darlene did not shoot that arrow, Joelson was absolutely confident that he would be able to dodge it in time.

"Eighth-tier mages are indeed very strong, but there are many eighth-tier mages who have died on the road to adventure. Hehe."

Assassin Alvin seemed to speak carelessly, but there was a hint of mockery in his words.

He seemed to be dissatisfied with Joelson and would often say some sarcastic words.

It was because Joelson was stronger than him and more talented than when he was younger. It was also possible that Joelson's appearance had taken away a part of Darlene's attention.

Joelson frowned. He was already a little irritated because he was worried about Du Lu. He even had the impulse to attack.

But in the end, he held it in.

"Shut up, Alvin."

Hewlett came up and scolded him in a low voice, "Joelson just became a mercenary not too long ago."

Alvin replied unwillingly, "I'm just teaching him that as a mercenary, he should be vigilant at all times. Moreover."

Alvin deliberately lowered his voice, but it was just enough for everyone to hear.

"Leader, are you sure that he really has the strength of a rank 8? There are some small areas where the strength evaluation criteria are different."

Everyone's expression became a little strange as they subconsciously looked at Joelson.

Indeed, Joelson had not made any moves during this journey.

Other than the reason why the journey was smooth, it also had to do with the strength of the sword and rose mercenary group.

Hewlett, who was wielding his metal combat aura, stood in front of the group like a human bulldozer. Most of the threats were cleared by him alone. With the cooperation of the others, Joelson had almost no chance to make a move.

Apart from competing with Amberg, Joelson had never shown his strength.

After the initial shock, the mercenaries slowly came back to their senses.

A tough magic shield did not mean that he was strong.

Perhaps he had some powerful magic tools on him.

The most fundamental reason was that as a Midlander, he had a natural sense of superiority. subconsciously, he did not think that outsiders could be so much better than them.

As he looked at the doubtful gazes of the crowd, he suddenly thought of something.

When you are silent, there will always be some clowns who will jump in front of you and make a ridiculous noise.

Joelson raised his finger slightly, and a faint magical wave spread out around him.

At this moment, the ground started to tremble slightly.

"Not good!"

Everyone instantly entered into battle mode and looked around vigilantly.

They only saw the surrounding sand suddenly stand up with huge bulges, which were all around them, moving quickly toward them.

Boom! Boom!

The bulges exploded one after another, and huge and ferocious desert lizards emerged from the ground.

Each of them was more than twenty feet long and seven to eight feet tall, exuding the dangerous aura of a tier 7 magical beast.

The desert lizards kept growling, and at a glance, there were at least dozens of them.

The mercenaries' faces turned pale, and even Hewlett's face turned ugly.

The desert lizard at the front quickly pounced on them, its claws and teeth flashing with sharp light.

A few mercenaries were pushed to the ground in an instant, rolling on the ground in a sorry state as they dodged. Their bodies were already left with deep wounds that could be seen through their bones.

"Fight!"

Hewlett shouted, and a dark golden aura burst out from his body.
