In the castle deep in the haze forest of the demon world.
The slender bones of Duke Bone quickly tapped on the keys, and in front of her stood a thick sheet of music, which recorded all the piano songs that Qiao Xiu wrote to her.
Musical instruments such as violins and cellos floated in the air behind Mr. Skeleton.
Since Joshua gave a new score to the skeleton every once in a while, the once silent castle became lively again.
Especially those ghosts who have their own consciousness, it was their daily work to patrol around the castle.
And now they join the skeleton's orchestra almost every day, even if these ghosts were a group of reckless men who didn't know music before their death, they have become master performers one by one after so many years.
The rhythm of the music played by Duke Bone today was extremely fast. Shortly after Duke Bone entered the third chapter of the piece, a ghost in the accompaniment troupe made a mistake.
The skeleton who was playing was keenly aware of the incongruous noise in the orchestra.
The sound echoing throughout the castle stopped abruptly.
At this moment, the more than 20 ghosts playing in the hall were tense, and all of them showed their true appearance from a transparent state.
If they still had flesh now, their clothes would have been soaked in cold sweat.
The skeleton man turned his head to look at the group of ghosts, and the throbbing soul fire slowly locked one of them.
More than 20 ghosts scattered left and right, and the ghost targeted by the skeleton man was instantly exposed to the sight of the terrifying Lich Lord.
This ghost is a middle-aged aristocrat with a round body. His face has already been written with an emotion called "fear", and he is glad that he doesn't need to breathe so troublesome after his death!
"You still have three days to practice this piece."
The skeleton man suddenly stood up from the piano, and after leaving this sentence, he walked out of the door without saying a word.
Only a group of ghosts left in the concert hall wiped a "sweat that does not exist".
"I survived?!" The chubby noble ghost asked the surrounding companions in disbelief.
"Shut up Fokker! You've been dead for hundreds of years!" said another petite ghost.
"I know Fokker, but the ghost that made a mistake two years ago was fed to the dog by the skeleton man. I don't want to become Xiao Cha's ration."
"Xiao Cha doesn't eat fat, have you forgotten Fokker?"
The ghost named Hua Luo weakly reminded his forgetful companion, and his eyes turned to the direction where the skeleton left.
"But after His Royal Highness the Third Prince came to visit the Duke, she has really changed a lot."
"It was the music scores given to the Duke by His Royal Highness that changed the Duke." Fokker picked up the violin in his hand and pulled out a tune. "These scores are all classics that can be handed down to the world."
"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and practice, this "Moonlight Sonata" is much more difficult than before."
"Is it difficult to have Ghost Fire written by that composer named Liszt?"
The ghosts began to discuss after the skeleton left. Among all the ghosts, one of the youngest and shortest in appearance, who was called a housekeeper by all the ghosts, sighed softly.
In the past, even if the skeleton left the concert hall, these ghosts did not dare to talk freely here, but now the skeleton is indeed much more "gentle" than before.
The housekeeper didn't know whether this change was good or bad, but at least since the third prince sent those piano songs to the castle, the skeleton had regained his sense of touch thanks to the music.
This is a dream for any undead.
The butler passed through the gate of the concert hall and saw the skeleton man standing at the gate of the castle.
"Those humans have come to the Demon World, I'll go say hello to them." The skeleton said, "I'll leave things in the castle to you for the time being."
"As ordered." After the butler nodded, the Skeleton Lord turned into a shadow and disappeared at the gate.
…
The worst that Mrs. Caesar had envisioned had come.
That is the demons in the demon world who have extreme hatred for human beings and oppose human beings who appear in the demon world.
Mrs. Caesar does not think that all demons are like Joshua, who are willing to accept everything in the human world and can easily integrate into human beings.
The war between humans and demons has lasted for thousands of years, even if this war and hatred can be further attributed to the kingdom of the holy religion.
There are also many demons in the demon race who have unforgivable hatred for humans.
This is just as in the eyes of the Crusaders of the Holy Land, all demons are evil beings.
Almost all of human existence, good or bad, will be regarded as an enemy by them.
"Joshua, do you know how many demons have been killed by humans?"
Nogus... Mrs. Caesar learned from the sidelines that the black-haired youth sitting in front of Joshua was the eldest prince of the Chaos Demon Royal Family.
"I know, but in order that there will be no more indifferent sacrifices in the future, peace is the best solution."
Joshua didn't have time to tell Noggs about his plans and ideas.
The hatred accumulated over the years made Noggs unable to easily accept Joshua's idea.
"There is no option for peace at all."
The glass Noggs was holding suddenly shattered into debris, a move that shocked the surrounding actresses.
Joshua could hear the anger in Noggs' tone alone.
The eldest prince Noggs is not a general of noble character. It is indeed his duty to protect the frontier of the demon world from human invasion, but what drives him to do so is not the glorious honor of "defending the home and the country".
Pure hatred, man killed his comrades, his mentors, so Noggs couldn't forgive those guys for what they did.
Hatred sustains Noggs at war with humanity.
Qiao Xiu did not intend to rely on his "eloquence" to persuade his eldest brother to put down the butcher's knife or something. After all, the success rate of persuasion in this case is basically zero.
Now Joshua only wants to transfer a wave of hatred, that is, transfer the hatred of Noggs to the behind-the-scenes culprit judge, not all human beings.
"Go back to the king's city with me now, Joshua." The gray magic power has overflowed from Noggs, and at the same time, a crack in time and space has appeared behind Noggs. This crack leads to the king's city, and can also to the frontier fortress.
Qiao Xiu found that he was still a little too impatient. After his brother saw the human, the anger bar rose a little, and Qiao Xiu had to let him calm down first.
"It's a pity brother, I refuse." Joshua shook his head and vetoed his eldest brother softly.
But refusal turned into refusal. Qiao Xiu was not the opponent of his eldest brother, and even the second princess was not the opponent of Noggs.
So in this case, Qiao Xiu could only summon a substitute attack.
Noggs stepped forward, and before he had time to say the words in his mouth, a dark torrent of magic power suddenly overflowed behind Josh, the breath of death and the suffocating pressure entangled in Noggs on the body.
Two happy soul fires burned in the torrent of magic power, and the figure of the skeleton slowly appeared behind Qiao Xiu.
