Late at night, Hearthstone Tavern.
Josiah placed three cups of warm milk on a tray in front of the three girls sitting at his desk.
"Aren't you going to go back to sleep?"
Josh picked up the glass of milk on the tray and took a small sip. Then, he looked at the three internet-addicted girls who were sitting at the study table and 'playing games'.
"I'll go back after I finish building this house."
Carolee was controlling the characters on the screen with the Inscription Stone. Her elf guard, Frey, was sitting on the side, and Hiri was sitting on the other side.
Ever since Carolee learned how to play Minecraft, she would come to Josiah's study almost every day to play the beta version.
Even if Josiah was going to engrave the beta version into her Mana Net, Carolee still didn't want to leave.
In her words, it would make the atmosphere more lively.
"Alright, I don't have the right to tell you to go to sleep."
Josiah looked at Priest Olanca who was sitting on the other side of the room, and the latter looked at Josiah apologetically.
A series of knocks suddenly sounded on the door, and Josh could tell from the aura that the person standing outside was none other than his chief reporter, Thousand Faces.
"Excuse me."
Josiah planned to go out and greet Qianmian. There must be some new information for Qianmian to come to him at a time like this.
Priest Olanca didn't ask any questions. In the past three days, Josiah had proven to Priest Olanca that he didn't have any ill intentions towards the Dark Wood Elves.
However, Priest Olanca still couldn't believe that her descendant, the Dark Wood Elf named Ruvita, could actually chat cheerfully with a terrifying Lich Lord, and the topic of their conversation was about music and movies.
She had seen many unbelievable things since she came to Noland, and she was starting to get used to it.
Josiah walked out of the study and closed the door behind him.
"Your Highness Josiah, may I ask when the game you're testing will officially appear on the Mana Net?"
The first thing the Dark Elf did when she saw Josiah was not to report the information she had gathered, but to ask when the game Carolee was playing in Josiah's study would officially appear on the Mana Net.
"That depends on the growth of the World Tree of the Dark Wood Elves … It's not realistic to support a huge game server with the Mana Net," Josiah paused, then asked, "Could it be that you like Mana Net games too, Qianmian?"
"No … Your sister Princess Freya has always wanted me to ask you about this on her behalf. I've revealed some information about my world to Princess Freya, and she has always been looking forward to playing this game … So much so that she wants to come to the human world and play it herself." The Dark Elf's voice sounded a little bitter.
Her real master was Josiah's sister, Fuya, and her relationship with Josiah was only that of an employer and an employee.
It seemed that having a willful master was a big headache for the Dark Elf.
"I'll give her a beta version some time."
Recently, Josiah was busy planning the debut show of "Singer of the World" and "TV Station", so he had little time to perfect a new game. The few classic games on FC were not enough to satisfy the game enthusiasts on the spellcaster forum.
"Thank you, Your Highness Josiah," The Dark Elf took out a raw crystal and handed it to Josiah.
Josiah activated the raw crystal and infused mana into it. Soon, a few pictures appeared in front of Josiah's eyes. The pictures showed a few fully armed Holy Army soldiers.
"This is the Holy Army squad that entered Noland a while ago. There are a total of seven members, a priest, and two nuns."
"Then what's their purpose in coming to Noland?"
Josiah looked through the pictures stored in the raw crystal. In these pictures, Josiah saw an old friend. It was Knight Messiah, a frequent customer of the Hearthstone Tavern.
Josiah was not surprised that she would return to Noland. The key was that she did not return to Noland alone.
"About that … I haven't found anything yet, but based on the information I've gathered, I hope that Your Highness Josiah will be wary of these two Holy Army soldiers."
The Dark Elf pointed at the pictures in the air. Two of the pictures were locked on an old man with white hair and beard, but his expression and body still exuded a strong aura. The other one was a middle-aged man with a gloomy aura.
"Them?"
"I've seen this guy before when I was still a member of the Heretic Court. He was still very young, but he was already the commander of the third Holy Army. He's a troublesome existence."
The Dark Elf pointed at the old man in the picture.
"What about the other one?"
"He could also be a commander. I went to test him yesterday. His alertness and reaction on the battlefield are not like a new recruit …" The Dark Elf said.
"You shouldn't be … injured, right?"
Josiah looked up and down at the Dark Elf. There were also some existences in the Holy Army that were far more difficult to deal with than the Inquisitors of the Heretic Court.
"You've underestimated my skills, Your Highness Josiah, but this human caught the arrow I shot from afar with his hand and discovered my hidden whereabouts. In short … he must not be a nobody in the Kingdom of Saint."
The Dark Elf's voice gradually became serious. Although the Kingdom of Saint didn't send many people to Noland this time, the appearance of two commanders was enough to raise their vigilance.
Even Josiah's elder sister, Demon Realm's Second Princess Cecily didn't dare to let her guard down in the face of two Holy Army commanders.
"If they're here to eradicate everything I've built in Noland, the forces of the two commanders are a bit too shabby."
Josiah didn't think that the Kingdom of Saint's emissary group came to Noland just for a vacation in Noland.
"What's the background of the priest and the two nuns?" Josiah waved the crystal in his hand and froze the picture on the entourage.
"I didn't collect much information on this aspect. The only thing I know is that one of them is a nun named Leah. She seems to have signed up for the Singer of the World."
"It seems that the charm of this competition is really irresistible … Okay, that's just a joke."
Josiah pulled up the nun's picture. Although she was walking side by side with a priest, her temperament didn't look as reserved and calm as a normal nun.
"A nun went to a feast held by a demon, and the Holy Army that followed her actually didn't stop her."
Josiah still had some self-awareness. What he did in Noland had become the most wanted criminal in the Kingdom of Saint. If there was a bounty on him, it would be as high as 100 million gold coins.
There was no way the two commanders didn't know about Josiah's background in Noland.
"Perhaps the nun hid it from others?" The Dark Elf gave a possibility.
