Noggs is outside the city of the Demon Realm King City, which used to be a fertile field, but now the land has turned into dust, and the demons living here are nowhere to be seen.
"After her father's death, did Sehiri become the ruler of the royal city?"
Kneeling on the ground, Noggs picked up the gray ground and looked at the Demon Realm's Royal City from afar.
Although the land outside is barren, the royal city seems to have become a lot more prosperous. It can be said that there is an endless stream of human creations entering the royal city from the city gate.
"No, Her Royal Highness Cecily is in charge of the city, but she has not announced to anyone that she has inherited the position of ruler."
A watchman stood behind Noggs and said.
Noggs has been guarding the border of the demon world all the year round, but he has placed a lot of his own eyeliners in the royal city. When he heard the news of his father's death, his first reaction was what despicable methods his sister used.
But the information brought back from the spies was very unfavorable to Nogus.
Two of the four dukes seemed to have already stood by Cecily's side, and with the blizzard in the Frost Plains stopped, it was too late for Noggs to take care of the disputes in the royal city.
"Not yet? What the hell is she waiting for."
Noggs let go of the dust that had turned into dust in his hands, and it took Sehiri enough for a month to turn the king's city and the entire demon world into hers.
At present, the actions of Cecily and Joshua have made Noggs guess, and this time Joshua's invitation Noggs can't be sure whether it is true or not.
But... The Land of Frost didn't have any sign of sending troops, and Noggs wanted to take this opportunity to sort out the internal affairs of the Demon Realm.
The first thing is to go to Nolan and negotiate with the king of the Land of Frost!
A dark green portal opened beside Noggs, and General Voss escorted an old man in blue with a shackle on his hand to appear in front of Noggs.
After he entered the frontier fortress, he proved his identity with magic power and the symbol of the sage he carried.
One of Nolan's Seven Sages in Blue.
"It's… it's the corruption of the Outsiders."
After walking out of the portal, the first reaction of the man in blue was to kneel on the barren ground like Nogus.
"Outliers..."
It was not the first time that Noggs heard this term. Joshua had warned him a long time ago that the real enemy was not the human beings in the Land of Frost, but the master of the Grey Mist.
This warning Noggs has been ignored.
The man in blue put his hands on the ground, wearing a shackle that could seal the magic power on his hands, but the blue inscriptions flickered on his arms, and these inscriptions spread all the way to the cheeks of the man in blue.
The flaming spear in General Vos's hand rested on the sage's neck.
"Stop," Noggs said.
"The land of your country has died under the corrosion of things outside the world, but there is vigorous vitality under the corpse." The man in blue said in disbelief.
"Your Highness."
General Voss awaits Noggoth's next order.
"Go to the portal to Nolan."
Under this order, General Voss grabbed his arm directly and threw the man in blue directly into the portal.
Noggs also walked into the portal, and when he walked out of the portal again, he arrived at a warehouse on the edge of the abyss of sin.
The demons who were pushing the carts for the distribution work saw the appearance of Noggs, and they all froze there.
Noggs did not inform Cecily that he would come back, nor did Noggs pay attention to those sluggish demons, and walked directly into the portal to Nolan under the guidance of General Voss.
…
Frostland Embassy.
It was rare for Qiao Xiu to wear a formal suit and sit in the meeting room of the Embassy of the Kingdom of Frost.
The noble king of the Kingdom of Frost, Sheiel, was sitting at the top of the council room, and there were many nobles that Joshua was not familiar with sitting in the council room.
Joshua and Sheila hadn't seen each other in real life for a long time, and occasionally they would chat about some home-like topics on the magic web newsletter.
Sheier's impression of Joshua in the text message was that of a little girl who likes to send emojis, but today in reality... The little girl who always spoke with an owl expression turned into a cold and a little uncomfortable. A friendly queen.
This kind of murderous aura really exists. Although Joshua has tried his best to avoid the internal topics of the Kingdom of Frost, according to some information revealed by Sheier, she has been pacifying the Kingdom of Frost all this time. civil unrest.
As for how many people were killed during the pacification period, Qiao Xiu has no way of knowing, but it can be seen that those elderly nobles obediently surrendered to the young king who had just been in power for less than a year. Sheier still has a little political means. of.
When Joshua sighed at Sheyle's iron-blooded wrist, a text message popped up in front of Joshua's eyes.
The text, from Sheyer, was "a little nervous".
The moment Joshua received the text message, he looked at Sheer, who was sitting at the top, and Joshua couldn't see any signs of nervousness from her.
"I'm now your negotiating opponent. Is it really good to expose your current mentality to the opponent like this?"
Joshua clicked on the virtual keyboard with his fingers below, edited the message and sent it to Sheiel.
"?"
This short symbol was also accompanied by an owl tilted head emoji that Joshua had seen many times.
"Don't ask questions, I am participating in this negotiation on behalf of the Demon Realm now."
"Negotiation is the thing I'm not good at. It's the dispute between the demons that the previous king has not resolved for many years, so I'm really nervous now."
Sheier didn't seem to understand Qiao Xiu's position at all. This time, although the Demon Realm was to negotiate peace with the Land of Frost, the terms of the negotiation needed to be negotiated by both parties.
In terms of conditions, there must be some debate between the two sides, and Joshua, as the representative of the magic world, is in a sense Sheier's enemy.
But the "main general" of the country of frost took the initiative to talk to the enemy before the confrontation and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to win."
"This... You can gain the trust of the citizens and nobles in the country, and your eloquence should be very good, but you don't think so?"
Joshua had inquired about Sheier's current prestige in the Land of Frost, which could almost be described as a national hero. Sheier was deeply loved by the people, admired by some nobles, and feared by others.
"I was only in charge of quelling rebellions and rarely spoke in front of people... General Amter told me, 'If you don't know what to say, keep silent, it will make you look more dignified'."
Scheyer attached the message with a smug owl giving a thumbs up with its wings.
"… "
At this time, Qiao Xiu didn't know how to answer except for the ellipsis. At this time, Qiao Xiu also vaguely heard the discussion between the nobles behind him.
"The century-long war can finally end today. His Majesty Sheier has done something that no great hero of our country can do."
"Those demons must be afraid of His Majesty Sheier and will take the initiative to choose to negotiate."
Stop, when I asked your king the topic of "simply resolve the dispute between the Demon Realm and the Land of Frost", the king of your country was still eating ice cream! What majesty is there to talk about.
Joshua quietly listened to the praises of the group of nobles behind Sheier. Perhaps in their opinion, this meeting of peace must have been facilitated by Sheier.
The peace between the Demon Realm and the Kingdom of Frost. The centuries-long war has brought too much trauma to the two countries. In the past several generations of kings, there have been many attempts to negotiate peace with the Demon Realm, but the final results have all failed.
This kind of feat will be written in the history books of the Land of Frost in the future. Sheier estimates that it is another generation of sage kings or something.
When Qiao Xiu was thinking about whether the negotiation could go smoothly, Qiao Xiu received a new text message.
"Where is the location?"
The owner of this message is Noggs.
"The embassy of the Land of Frost, brother, I remember that someone has been sent to pick you up in a magic car." Qiao Xiu replied immediately.
"That noisy machine made by humans? Sitting on that thing made me feel very uncomfortable, like I was cursed."
That's not a curse, it's just that you get motion sickness!
"Then brother, you..."
"Isn't this the most prosperous city for mankind? Why is there not even a coachman?"
The carriage had been eliminated by Nolan's inn half a year ago! elder brother! Now it's popular to drive a magic car.
Qiao Xiu covered his face weakly. This is probably the type of person who has been living at home for an unknown number of years, and then saw a butterfly flying by and suddenly asked, "What kind of bird is this?"
