The man in purple took Hiri back to Noland's Mage Tower first. Although the entire set was empty, Josiah could still feel someone's aura around him.
This was the aura of the Demon Realm's watchers. The second princess had tacitly allowed Josiah to build a portal to Falosi here, but she still sent watchers to secretly guard here.
After Josiah returned to the Demon Realm, the second princess, Cersei, pushed open the door of the tavern. It seemed that she had been waiting here for a long time.
After seeing his elder sister, Josiah was about to hand the two contracts to Cersei, but Cersei quickly walked up to Josiah and looked Josiah up and down.
"You're not hurt?" Her voice was as serious as ever.
"No, although humans are a little cunning, they're not that barbaric."
Josiah was not used to Cersei suddenly being so close to him, so he took a step back.
"Why didn't you tell me that you were going to Falosi to negotiate with the king this time?"
Cersei asked Josiah after a brief silence.
"Elder sister, haven't you been busy dealing with the internal problems of Royal City recently? So … I didn't inform you. "
Of course, Josiah was lying. In fact, after completing the filming of "Avatar", Josiah went directly to Falosi and forgot to inform his elder sister about this.
Moreover, Cersei had been busy appeasing the emotions of the demons in Royal City recently.
Not every demon could immediately accept the sudden appearance of a human in King's City. Only Cersei, the most prestigious monitor in King's City, could calm the panic of the people in King's City.
"The people in Royal City have begun to accept those human merchants." Cersei seemed to sense that Josiah was lying, but she did not expose Josiah. "Josiah, can you tell me what happened in Falosi now?"
"Let's talk inside."
Josiah walked into the tavern, found a chair, and sat down. He handed the two contracts to Cersei and explained some of the key matters of the diplomatic mission to her.
Cersei carefully browsed through the longest contract. Not only was the name of the product written on it, but even the merchant association that was selling it was clearly written.
Many of the resources on it were scarce in the Demon Realm, especially food and daily necessities for some people.
In the past, Cersei had tried to communicate with human merchants several times, even appointing watchers to disguise themselves as humans to buy these resources, but the results were not ideal.
On the other hand, the trade Josiah was talking about was personally promised by the Falosi King.
"I'll pay for these," Cersei said as she put down the list of goods.
"Sister Cersei, I've already negotiated the terms of the exchange."
"Deal? You've already provided enough food resources for the Devil Realm, so I'll take over this trade. "
"I don't object to you taking over, Sister Cersei, but the terms proposed by the king are not money."
Josiah was really not good at dealing with this strong and serious elder sister.
"Not money? Then what is it? "
Cersei Hiri immediately fell into a state of vigilance when she heard this. She had been deceived by those cunning human merchants several times, which made her worry that her brother would fall into the same trap.
"This is the raw crystal that carries the movie." Josiah took out the original version of "Avatar" from his pocket and put it on the table.
"The movie … can we buy these?"
After Cersei contacted the ambassador from Falosi, she watched a movie called "Beauty and the Demon" at Josiah's invitation.
After watching it, Cersei's evaluation of the movie was very complicated, because she knew very well that the sinful demons in reality were simply two extremes from the image in the movie!
But ever since those noble ladies from Falosi brought some fish that they fished from the sea to the gathering place of the sinful demons for "sightseeing", the sinful demons had a tendency to change more and more to the image in "Beauty and the Demon".
This also led to the sinful demons being one of the first demons to accept the appearance of humans in the capital, followed by the vampires.
Cersei had to admit that the movie made by Josiah was indeed interesting. Seeing the scene of Belle and the sinful demon dancing in the ballroom, her maiden heart that had been silent for many years was slightly touched.
But it was only a very slight touch.
"The value of everything varies from person to person. If the king of Falosi thinks it has this value, then it has this value," Josiah said with a smile.
"…"
Cersei was silent. She picked up the raw crystal that Josiah had placed on the table.
Although the quality of this raw crystal was high, according to her understanding of humans, a raw crystal of this quality was only about twenty gold coins in the human market.
Because after this raw crystal was engraved with special inscriptions, it could only be used to record images.
"About two to three hundred of these raw crystals. This is the price I offer." Josiah said, "These raw crystals will only take about two or three days to complete. If you have time, I hope you can take over this deal."
Recently, Cersei had been dealing with the internal affairs of the capital. Josiah vaguely felt that something big had happened in the capital.
What worried Josiah the most was that the ruler of the Demon Realm, Notline, had not shown up for a long time. The ambassador from Falosi was received by Cersei.
"I should be free. I also need to negotiate with the king of Falosi."
After Cersei carefully read through the contents of the two contracts, she raised her head and looked around for a moment.
At this moment, Josiah felt that the presence of the surrounding watchers had completely disappeared.
"Josiah." Cersei put down the contract in her hand, and her crimson pupils met Josiah's gaze.
"Father's condition recently … isn't very good."
"His specific behavior?" Josiah's guess seemed to be right.
"He hasn't left the altar for a long time. Although I talk to him every day, I don't plan to leave, nor do I manage the affairs of the capital."
A map appeared in Cersei's hands, and she spread it out on the table in front of Josiah.
"Recently, not only have traces of land turning to ash appeared in the capital, but two residents have also turned into distorted monsters. Although the situation has improved recently, it's very slow."
"This … is very similar to what the Inquisitors do. Could it be that those guys have infiltrated the capital?"
Faced with Josiah's question, Cersei shook her head.
"I used a banshee to investigate the insides of the watchers and the people in the capital. They're all normal."
"Perhaps the World Tree can heal these ashes. Anyway, wait for me to return to Noland first."
Taylin was the foundation of Noland's Weave. Josiah would definitely not let her take the risk to come to the Demon Realm, and Carolee's World Tree was too young.
However, Josiah could ask Taylin if there was any way to 'revive' the land.
