At the border fortress of the Demon Realm. Even the Dark Elf could feel the harsh snowstorm outside the fortress.
"Do you need a guide?"
The ruler of the border fortress, Nogus, personally received the envoy from the Demon Realm.
In the letter of introduction that Josiah wrote to Nogus, he described the Dark Elf as a spy who was heading to the Land of Frost to obtain intelligence.
"No need, Your Highness Nogus. I believe that my instincts won't let me get lost in the snowstorm."
The Dark Elf and Nogus walked together towards the gate of the border fortress. What the Dark Elf didn't expect was that when she looked down along the high wall, she saw the figure of a human female in the empty space below.
"I didn't expect there to be a human here."
The Dark Elf looked at the human female planting a cold-resistant flower into the soil on the ground.
"She's just a slave here," Nogus said coldly.
The human female seemed to hear Nogus' voice and looked up at the top of the city wall. When she saw Nogus, she smiled and waved at him.
"This … doesn't look like a slave's behavior."
The Dark Elf's instinct as a reporter allowed her to smell the scent of "big news".
If the Demon Realm also opened a new television station, the Dark Elf would really take out her laptop and camera to interview this Prince Nogus!
"We've reached the city gate. Recently, the Land of Frost's movements have been a bit strange. So, the Dark Elf hopes that you can bring back some useful intelligence."
Nogus directly avoided the Dark Elf's question with a cold face. The Dark Elf was smart enough not to ask further. After thanking Nogus again for leading the way, she walked to the city gate.
The iron gate was slowly opened with the sound of gears and chains crossing each other. Frost that could freeze blood gushed into the gate.
The Dark Elf had almost died in this dangerous snowstorm. If she hadn't luckily been discovered by the Demon Realm's army in the stronghold, she wouldn't be standing here today.
The Dark Elf immediately took out the Lava Orb that Josiah gave her. The orb was only the size of a thumb. The Dark Elf Orb was placed directly in her mouth.
Warm heat surrounded her body, blocking the frost and cold wind outside the magic barrier created by the orb.
After that, the Dark Elf transformed into a crow and flew into the snowstorm.
Noggs watched as the crow left and ordered the soldiers to close the gate. He walked into the Fortress again, and when he walked past the wall, he looked at Agata, the soldier of the Land of Frost, who was busy planting flowers.
"Your Highness Nogus, are we just going to keep that human alive?"
A general behind Nogus asked in a low voice.
"The primitive crystal called 'record' that she carries can suppress the headaches of our race, and that primitive crystal can only be activated by her magic power. What do you think?"
"But Your Highness Noggs, if we entrust His Highness Josiah, he might be able to get a new 'record'."
The general behind Nogus was the Chaos Demon Phyllis who had been to Noland.
"I won't ask my brother for such a small matter, do you understand?"
Nogus' reasoning sounded awkward and clumsy, no matter how cold his tone was.
But as Nogus' personal guard, Phyllis was smart enough not to ask further.
… …
Three days later.
The Dark Elf circled above a city in the Land of Frost in the form of a crow.
She had been active in the Land of Frost for a period of time when she was a member of the Inquisitors, so she had some understanding of the nobles and cities in the Land of Frost.
Other than the royal family, there were eight families that were second only to the royal family in the Land of Frost. These families had power comparable to the feudal lords. Not only did they control the city's autonomy, but they also controlled the military.
The first city that the Dark Elves arrived at was the largest city in the Stronghold and also the largest city in the Land of Frost, St. Sorensburg.
All the families in this city were the Whitefrost Deer Family, one of the eight families.
In the Dark Elves' impression, St. Sorensburg was a prosperous city and one of the main cities that supplied the Stronghold with supplies.
But today, the streets of the city were desolate. There were not many pedestrians on the wide road.
The Dark Elves noticed that the flag in the city had changed from the Whitefrost Deer Family's flag to the royal family's flag in the Land of Frost.
Was she too late?
The Dark Elf continued to scan the streets, looking for something that could be used as a news story. Soon, she saw a white-robed missionary in the commoner's residential area, loudly preaching something.
The Dark Elf's reporter instincts told her that she should start the interview with the missionary.
She quickly landed near the missionary. When no one was looking, she transformed into a frail commoner of the Land of Frost.
Before Josiah left, he had told the Dark Elf that her trip to the Land of Frost this time wasn't just for one or two days of small news. Instead, it was for a long "documentary."
Thus, the Dark Elf put down her beloved camera and carried the "video camera" that Josiah had given her.
After being modified by Noland's craftsmen, the "video camera" had shrunk a lot. The Dark Elf could now hold it with one hand and record everything in front of her.
"Father … Father! What happened to this city? "
The Dark Elf disguised herself as a confused commoner and approached the missionary. At the same time, the video camera started to work, ready to record the rest of the conversation.
"The twelfth prince of the Land of Frost, Cheil, has been bewitched by the demons!"
The missionary saw that a commoner could listen to him, so he immediately stopped in his tracks and spoke loudly.
"Yesterday, Prince Cheil, who was bewitched by the demons, led an army to occupy this city. They burned the church to the ground and killed countless devout believers. Even the lord of this city was killed. The demons are here …"
The missionary went on a long ramble to the Dark Elf in a somewhat deranged manner. Suddenly, a group of soldiers in silver armor appeared from the corner of the street.
"There he is!"
The soldiers spotted the missionary and immediately rushed towards him. The missionary panicked and began to run away.
But the missionary couldn't escape the elite troops of the stronghold no matter what. He was quickly caught by the two soldiers.
"Let me go! You are bewitched by the demons! The gods will punish you! "
The soldiers ignored the missionary's struggle. They knocked him unconscious with the hilt of their swords and dragged him away.
The Dark Elf silently recorded the entire scene. To get the best effect, the Dark Elf even ran in front of the two soldiers and successfully recorded a close-up of the missionary's expression and the two soldiers' expressions.
"Don't block the way!"
The soldier wanted to push the reckless commoner in front of him away, but he couldn't even touch the corner of the commoner's clothes. When he came to his senses, the commoner had already disappeared in front of him.
The Dark Elf trotted to the snow-covered alleyway and took out the footage he had just recorded to examine it.
This was something that couldn't be recorded in Noland …
The twelfth prince of the Land of Frost, Cheil, had sent an army to suppress the eight great families and killed the chief of the Whitefrost Deer Clan! And these were the soldiers of the stronghold.
This was big news!
