"Miss Hiri, we agreed not to play that 'save' game by yourself. I'll come back tomorrow." Carolee reminded Hiri who was munching on an apple in the study before leaving.
"Got it." Hiri nodded and agreed to Carolee.
Thus, Carolee and the Dark Wood Elf Priestess left the Hearthstone Tavern under the watchful eyes of the spellcaster.
The second after Carolee left, Hiri sat back down at her desk and continued her farming journey.
"Hiri, you should be sleeping now." Josiah placed a cup of warm milk beside Hiri's hand.
"Hmm? Where's the black-hearted boss who exploited his employees? "
Hiri held up the cup of milk and glanced at Josiah. After spending a long time with Josiah, Hiri had learned many of Josiah's vocabulary.
"It's your holiday these few days. If a girl wants to look prettier, it's better to sleep on time."
"Why do I feel like you're suddenly like my mother … Ugh …"
After saying this, Ciri suddenly fell silent. She took a sip of the warm milk in her cup and continued her work in the game without another word.
Josh sensed Ciri's silence and suddenly remembered that this young magic caster's mother had already passed away. She and her sister had also been abandoned by their father and ended up in this city.
Seeing Hiri's silence, Josiah did not continue to poke at Hiri's sore spot and changed the topic.
"For farming, grinding the bones of the Skeleton Archers into bone powder can increase the efficiency." Josiah gave Hiri a small guide to the game.
"Bone powder? Really … I'm wondering what this thing is used for. "
After obtaining the guide, Hiri became even more enthusiastic about her farming. Josiah felt that with the 'toxicity' of this game, this young mage would probably play until the day before she could rest.
Josiah walked to the window and looked at Noland. After obtaining the second World Tree, it was only a matter of time before Josiah's control expanded from Noland to Falosi.
Under the influence of the three movies, the citizens of Noland had changed their impression of demons. Now that a demon that did not look so ferocious walked into Noland, Josiah believed that most of the citizens of Noland would not be hostile toward it. At least, they would be vigilant.
Compared to the mission to farm the demon's favorability, it was Cheryl's Diary of the Heresy Judge that made the citizens of Noland's impression of the Kingdom of Saint drop to a freezing point.
Josiah's cultural invasion plan had begun to show results. At the very least, it had pulled the country of Falosi to the opposite side of the Kingdom of Saint, and it had also become a potential ally of the Demon Realm.
The wider the coverage of the magic net, the easier it would be to subvert the sacred impression that the Kingdom of Saint had established in the hearts of humans for a long time.
Other than the new movie and game, Josiah had to do a more important hardware upgrade.
That was to let the people of Noland watch 'TV'.
The World Tree that was lodged in Carolee's body gave Josiah hope.
"Speaking of which … When are you going to teach at Ruhrske High Magic Academy?" Hiri suddenly asked.
"Ruhrske High Magic Academy? The magic academy that your sister studies in? "
"Well, my sister has asked me several times when you are going to teach. The name of the course seems to be 'Software Programming'."
With Hiri's reminder, Josiah suddenly remembered that the man in gray once gave Josiah an invitation, inviting Josiah to teach programming courses at his academy as an honorary professor.
However, Josiah was troubled by the Nephilic Judge at that time, and then he was busy filming 'Hachi the Loyal Dog', so he never had the time to teach at that high magic academy.
"About this …" Josiah took out the invitation from the drawer. There was an owl imprint on it.
When Josiah was thinking about finding a time to visit the man in gray, a message popped up on Josiah's magic net interface.
When Josiah clicked on the message, the signature on the message was a name that Josiah was very familiar with.
Cersili Yanorod, the second princess of the Demon Realm, and also Josiah's elder sister.
… …
A few hours ago, in a field at the edge of the Demon Realm's capital.
"The crops here have withered."
Cersili half-squatted down and picked up the greyish-white crops on the ground. She clenched her hand lightly, and the crops instantly turned into dust and dissipated in her hand.
"Prophet, do you know the reason?" Cersili asked the figure standing beside her.
"I'm very sorry, Your Highness Cersili. I don't know the reason for the crops' withered either."
The existence known as the Prophet was a young-looking demon. Her height was just about the same as Cersei, who was half-squatting down.
"They must have been affected by something." Cersili looked at the greyish-white crops on the ground and had a bad feeling.
"Your Highness Cersili, this is already the third field. If this continues, the capital may welcome a famine this year."
The Prophet pushed up the wood-framed glasses on the bridge of her nose and looked at the withered fields with some worry.
At this time of the year, this field should have already reached the harvest time.
Although some demons in the Demon Realm did not need to rely on regular food to live, most still needed to rely on food to maintain their lives.
"What about the food stored in the granary?" Cersili asked.
"If all of it is taken out to supply to the commoners … Fifteen days is the limit," the Prophet quickly answered.
"That's not enough … Have the watchers visit the territories of the four dukes. I want to know the situation of their territories," Cersili said.
The territory of the Demon Realm was not as vast as the human world. The Demon Realm had 'borders' … Besides the capital, most of the cities in the Demon Realm were governed by the four dukes.
"Understood, Your Highness." After the Prophet received the order, she immediately walked into the city.
Cersili stood up and looked at the towering walls of the Demon Realm's capital. She vaguely felt that something strange had happened in the Demon Realm. An indescribable aura pervaded the Demon Realm.
This was not the aura of death from the undead. The undead with consciousness were 'legal' residents in the Demon Realm. Some undead even had their own houses and positions in the capital.
The aura that Cersili felt was a more malicious existence.
She had to … start investigating. Cersili walked towards the city gate, but as soon as she took a step, she felt a sharp pain in her head.
Cersili held her forehead. The pain disappeared very quickly. In just a few seconds, it was as if it had never appeared.
But this was not the first time. According to Cersili's knowledge, every chaos demon in the capital had a temporary headache. At first, it would happen every ten days, but now it would happen every few days.
Cersili checked her body. There was no injury at all.
What exactly … happened?
