Falosi's August Revolutionary Street.
A horse carriage slowly passed through the bustling street.
Josiah, who had just concluded a negotiation, sat in the carriage …
"I've never seen His Majesty so excited when he signed the contract."
Mrs. Sizer sat opposite the carriage with two sheepskin scrolls in her hands. On the scrolls were the contracts she signed with Josiah.
"Being able to expand one's territory is something that any king would be excited about."
Josh took the two sheepskin scrolls from Mrs. Caesar's hands. The content of the first scroll was the preliminary treaty between the Falosi and the Realm of Devils. The two most important clauses of the treaty were that the two countries would not invade each other and that the citizens of both countries would be able to travel freely.
Although the non-aggression contract was common among human countries and was the most basic contract, two years ago, the humans' impression of the Realm of Devils was that it was a 'dungeon full of opportunities and treasures'.
Two years ago, the humans' impression of the Realm of Devils was that it was a 'dungeon full of opportunities and treasures', and the devils were 'monsters that could drop good stuff'.
No human would openly acknowledge the devils of the Realm of Devils as their equal.
The contract in Josiah's hands could be said to be the first time in hundreds of years that a country was willing to acknowledge the status and existence of the devils in this world.
"Expanding our territory, Mr. Josiah … Falosi hasn't participated in any wars for decades, and there hasn't been any cracks in the relationship between the surrounding countries."
Mrs. Sizer carefully recalled the contents and details of the discussion between Crorendo III and Josiah in the meeting just now. There wasn't any mention of war.
"The territory here doesn't refer to land, Lady Sizer." Josiah showed the second sheepskin scroll to Mrs. Sizer.
This sheepskin scroll was a business contract that Josiah signed with Crorendo III as an entertainer or manager.
"Your king hopes that I can establish a 'television station' in Falosi, and the programs that will be broadcasted will be decided by your king. The programs that will be broadcasted will be seen by audiences all over the world along with the popularity of the 'television'. By then, perhaps I can see your Black Swan performance in the Realm of Devils," said Josiah.
"I think I understand what you mean … Mr. Josiah, you always bring me new surprises every time I meet you."
Mrs. Sizer only rushed over when the meeting was about to end, so she didn't know much about the concept of 'television station'.
However, Kerendo III's second contract clearly stated that he could choose the location of the TV station. Once chosen, he would personally get the Kerendo Construction Union to start the construction. Falosi would be responsible for the expenses. There were a lot of preferential terms and conditions, such as' anyone can be chosen '. Mrs. Sizer could imagine how persistent Crorendo III was with the' television station '.
"So, Mr. Josiah, when do you plan to start building the 'television station' for His Majesty?"
"I don't need to manage the construction. I'm just telling you how to operate it. My current task is still the filming of 'Avatar'."
After keeping the two contracts, Josiah looked out of the window. There was a sudden commotion on the street. A group of knights in silver armor rode slowly on the street.
"What's wrong, Hiri?"
Josiah saw Hiri, who was looking out of the window like a child on an outing for the first time, suddenly retreat to Josiah's side.
"Nothing, I just saw some annoying symbols."
Hiri suddenly pulled up the hood of her robe to cover her long grey hair.
"Annoying symbols?" Josiah only saw the group of knights outside the window.
Mrs. Sizer's carriage was the most luxurious one on the street. When the knights passed by the carriage, they politely nodded at the people inside the carriage.
Mrs. Sizer also nodded back in response.
"They are the emissaries of the Land of Frost." Mrs. Sizer explained to Josiah, "A month ago, the Land of Frost invited His Majesty Crorendo III to participate in the war against the Realm of Demons. His Majesty Crorendo sent them back with the reason that he needed time to consider. It seems like it's already the appointed time."
Mrs. Sizer didn't intend to hide this from Josiah. Even if she did, she wouldn't be able to hide it.
She quietly observed the changes in Josiah's expression. The Land of Frost's knights were equivalent to the enemies who invaded his country. If Josiah did anything extreme, Mrs. Sizer would stop Josiah immediately.
However, Josiah's reaction was much calmer than Mrs. Sizer imagined.
"It seems like I came in time." Josiah said and patted Hiri's shoulder, "They've already left. Speaking of which, Hiri, what would happen if they saw you?"
"Well, I would get out of the carriage and fight with them," Hiri said as she pulled down her hood.
Josiah didn't ask Hiri about the details. It sounded like it was Hiri's private matter. With Mrs. Sizer around, it wasn't appropriate for Josiah to ask.
"As for the Land of Frost's invitation, Mr. Josiah, don't worry. I don't think His Majesty Korendo would participate in such a meaningless war. However, Mr. Josiah, they are also trying to convince other countries …" Mrs. Sizer looked at the Silver Knights coldly.
"It's okay. At least the Demon Realm isn't an isolated existence anymore. With the first friend, there will definitely be a second and third friend." Josiah looked at the Silver Knights in the distance and said nonchalantly, "Also, I hope that the movie 'Avatar' can let some people see that this isn't a just war."
"Mr. Josiah, I admire what you have done for the Demon Realm. However, I can't imagine that a movie can change a country's view on another country."
Mrs. Sizer's common sense told her that it was almost impossible to stop a war between two countries with a movie. However, she had to believe it when she looked at the young demon in front of her.
Because a year ago, Mrs. Sizer didn't believe that the Falosi Kingdom would ally with the Demon Realm!
However, the demon sitting in front of her did it. Not only did he do it, but Josiah also made the terrifying Sin Devil into the 'mascot' that the noble lady of the Falosi Kingdom mentioned.
"Is that so? I'm quite confident, "Josiah replied.
"I'm curious about the reason." Mrs. Sizer enjoyed communicating with this young demon. Josiah always had some novel ideas, which was what she needed.
