The appearance of the skeleton was a bit sudden.
Suddenly, the entire camp entered a state of combat readiness.
Including the one in purple who had already known that Joshua had signed a contract with a Lich Lord, she immediately stood up with a magic wand after feeling the breath of death that pervaded the camp.
Qiao Xiu could understand the reaction of the guards brought by the Black Swan Theater. Anyone who was walking on the road suddenly saw a wild black dragon blocking the way. Either they fell to the ground and their legs were weak for the first time, or they pulled out their long sword and wanted to Make some resistance before dying.
The coming of the Lich Lord is almost the same as the impact of the black dragon's wings falling from the sky. After all, they are all on the same level.
What surprised Joshua was his eldest brother Nogus.
Noggs dodged and blocked directly between Joshua and the skeleton. The gray magic power was already filled in him, and he was ready to fight at any time.
"Accidentally, I'm still quite popular with you."
The soulful fire in the eye sockets of the skeleton stared at Noggs in front of him, and the man in purple standing beside Qiao Xiu.
As for the surrounding spellcasters and knights with staffs and crossbows, Duke Bone didn't notice at all.
"Bone Archduke! These humans are handled by me, you don't need to worry."
Noggs' nerves were already tense as he communicated with the skeleton man.
Among the four dukes in the demon world, only the Grand Duke of Blood and the Water Elemental Lord can have a good conversation, and the Duke of Black Dragon is a guy who ravages the weak according to his own preferences.
The Duke of Bones is a notoriously paranoid, she never obeys anyone's orders, and at the same time has an extreme aversion to coming into contact with living things, especially humans.
Noggs guessed that the skeleton was attracted by the human breath here!
"You deal with it, is this an order for me? You are not good enough for the little guy, let your father come and talk to me, but I can listen."
The piercing voice of the skeleton came into Noggs' ears, like a sarcastic laughter.
The Lich Lord never cared about anyone's identity, even if the other party was the ruler of the Demon World, he was merciless.
"Then these humans will be handed over to Grand Duke Skeleton for your disposal."
Noggs did not intend to provoke the Lich Lord, and planned to take Joshua back to the royal city.
But the moment Noggs turned around, the breath of death that permeated the portal shattered the portal behind Noggos.
"Joshua, he must stay." The words spoken by the bone man made Noggs' mood drop to freezing point.
"I have to take him back."
Nogus turned to face the skeleton again, his hand on the hilt of his sword ready for battle.
This dispute may lead to a complete breakdown of the internal relations of the Demon World, and Qiao Xiu, who is the source of the dispute, can no longer remain silent.
"Brother Nogus, you may have misunderstood." Joshua walked directly to Duke Bone's side.
"Misunderstanding? You..." Before Noggs could finish his words, Joshua showed Noggs the mark on his palm.
The mark that represents an ally with Lord Skeleton.
"I invited Lord Skeleton. I didn't notify you in advance, which is my negligence." Joshua said, "However, can you calm down now?"
Noggs' nerves that had been tense eased a little.
The covenant in Qiao Xiu's hand is enough to prove that Qiao Xiu's status in the demon world may not be as simple as "the third prince".
The next thing is much easier to solve. With the existence of the Skeleton Lord, Noggs is finally willing to listen to Joshua finish the information about the Kingdom of the Holy Cult and the Inquisition of Heresy.
"Impossible! How can our country be controlled by a weak country like the Holy Land."
Just when Joshua told Noggs the information he had speculated a few days ago, a human girl who had been silently following Noggs suddenly interrupted Joshua.
"She is my captive, a soldier of the Land of Frost."
A chain suddenly appeared in Noggs' hand, and after the inscription on the chain shone brightly, she opened her mouth and could no longer make any sound.
"If you don't want to believe me, eldest brother, you can continue to guard the fortress this year, but I think this year's attack on the Kingdom of Frost should not be as fierce as in previous years, because someone has already discovered what the Kingdom of the Holy Cult has done. Allies of the two countries cannot and may not last long.”
"Where did you get this information?" Noggs asked suddenly.
The Inquisition of Heresy is an extremely secretive organization in the Kingdom of the Holy Religion. Even if Noggs knew about the existence of the Inquisitors, he had only fought with them about five times.
Noggs has also been trying to collect information on these "assassins", but so far there have been very few results.
But Qiao Xiu took out a copy of the "encyclopedia" of the judge at one time, and the abilities and weaknesses were clearly marked.
"Magic Web, you can ask your adjutant General Phyllis about this, and he will give you the answer."
When Qiao Xiu provided the supplies for the frontier fortress, he stuffed a hundred original spar and a hundred leaves of the World Tree into it.
Noggs' journey back to the royal city this time was too hasty, and he did not come into contact with the supplies provided by Joshua.
"During the time I was away, you did a lot of things that I couldn't understand."
Nogus glanced at the skeleton archduke standing behind Josh.
It is unrealistic to want to forcibly bring Qiao Xiu back to the royal city or frontier fortress under the protection of Duke Bone.
"The most difficult thing to understand is the attitude of those humans towards our clan and the sinful demon clan." Noggs looked behind Duke Bone.
The actors of the Black Swan Troupe and the Bai Jinghua Troupe have left under the arrangement of their managers, but there are still some actors of the Black Swan Troupe who are constantly peeking here.
Don't these humans still understand their situation? Going deep into the demon world, a Lich Lord is nearby, not only the Lich Lord but also two Chaos Demons.
This configuration can be regarded as the final level of the game, but no matter how Noggs sees it, those humans, especially women, still behave like they are coming for an outing.
"The answer to this is still on the magic web." Joshua couldn't describe what a movie was like to someone who hadn't seen it.
"The Weave...?" Nogus felt that the conversation was almost over. "Joshua, I have 'eyes' all over the world, so I hope you don't give up the surname Arnorrod."
"Don't worry, I have no idea of changing my surname for the time being."
Joshua watched the ruler of the frontier fortress disappear into the crack of time and space, and disappeared with the captured female soldier.
