"I always feel like I'm a black-hearted boss who squeezes my employees."
Josiah handed a glass of fruit wine from the tavern to the dark elf in front of him and said.
"Are you really not going to rest for a few days before returning to the Land of Frost?"
"My past experiences have made me unaccustomed to a 'leisurely' life."
The dark elf did not refuse the fruit wine that Josiah handed to her. She picked up the wooden cup and drank it in one gulp.
Josiah listened to the dark elf's speech and felt that a Pulitzer Prize alone was not enough to recognize her achievements. Perhaps he should add a best employee award or something like that.
"Land of Frost? You sent Qianmian to the Land of Frost? "
Since the dark elf entered the tavern, Cersei had been quietly listening to the conversation between Josiah and the dark elf.
This dark elf named Qianmian had a very special status in the Realm of Devils. She did not have the position of a watcher, but she had the authority of a watcher. If one had to add a definition to her status in the Realm of Devils, it would be "Fourth Princess's personal guard."
This dark elf only obeyed the orders of Fourth Princess and the ruler of the Realm of Devils. Some time ago, Qianmian received an order to go to the human world to monitor Josiah. This was the second time Cersei saw her in the Realm of Devils.
In Cersei's opinion, this dark elf seemed to have become Josiah's subordinate, and Josiah had sent her to the Land of Frost?
"A few days ago, I saw news of the civil strife in the Land of Frost on the spellcaster forum. Is it related to … Qianmian?"
Cersei instantly thought of the information she saw on the Magic Net, which was the "civil strife in the Land of Frost."
No matter which page of the spellcaster forum Cersei went to, she could see news about the civil strife in the Land of Frost.
Originally, Cersei thought that there was a problem in the Land of Frost itself, and she was a little relieved about the defense of the Realm of Devils' border this year.
Only after listening to Josiah and the Dark Elf's conversation did Cersei realize that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.
"Regarding this, I … was fortunate enough to get to know Prince Shay, who is known as the 'Kingslayer' on the spellcasters' forum on the Weave. Then, I was fortunate enough to let him understand some of the conspiracies of the Inquisition through the Weave, and helped him start a rebellion in the Frost Nation."
Josiah used simple words to describe something that left Cersei stunned.
"Just how lucky am I?"
The change in the throne of the Land of Frost was enough to affect the situation of the world. Cersei never thought that the mastermind behind all this was her brother.
"In short, this new king's attitude towards the demons should not be full of hatred like the previous Frost Royal Family. Elder sister, please wait for a while." Josiah stared into his sister's eyes seriously and said, "The hundred-year war between the demons and the Land of Frost will definitely end."
Cersei had also fought at the border fortress for a period of time, so she clearly understood that the hatred between the Land of Frost and the Realm of Devils was at the level of death. If Josiah said this to Cersei in the past, Cersei would only think that her naive brother was joking.
But now …
"I should return to the royal city."
Cersei didn't give Josiah an answer. She picked up the two contracts and opened the door of the tavern, choosing to leave.
Josiah watched his elder sister leave, then looked at the Dark Elf in front of him again.
"I have to go back to Noland to get the original movie. Before that, you can go see my sister." Josiah knew what the Dark Elf was concerned about, "But I developed a few new modules for Minecraft. She probably doesn't have time for you right now."
"Princess Freya probably hasn't slept for a long time." The only thing the Dark Elf cared about was Princess Freya's condition. She didn't reject Josiah's suggestion and turned into a crow and flew out of the tavern.
Josiah slowly walked out of the tavern and looked at the desolate scenery, as well as the medal awarded by Korendor III in his hand.
"In the near future, this place will probably be very prosperous."
Josiah said softly as he looked at the glowing portal in the distance.
… …
A week later, Ossen Castle, south of the Iron Nation.
Minister Dias sat on a machine called a magic carriage, which slowly drove into Ossen Castle.
He couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose with a handkerchief as soon as he entered Ossen Castle. His servant also did the same.
"Ambassador Dias, are you still not used to the air in the Iron Nation?" The coachman driving the magic carriage asked softly.
"I could get used to the air in the Iron Nation ten years ago, but now I feel like there's a thick fog stuck in my throat." Minister Dias said with a slight frown.
"This thick fog is the pride of our country. Ambassador Dias is an outsider, you do need some time to get used to it." The coachman said.
Minister Dias could hear the sarcasm in his words, but he didn't have the heart to pursue it. He looked out the window.
Even if this was a residential area, Minister Dias could still see the magical waste that turned into gas slowly rising into the sky from afar.
"What are they waiting for?"
Minister Dias noticed that there was a long line of civilians lining up at the corner of the street.
"Holy Hilmk Duel." "Our country holds a competition every three years. Even civilians can sign up and prove their strength in the Gladiator Arena. The second half of the competition will be held in this city. You can see many legendary knights in the Gladiator Arena." The coachman said a line of words that was difficult to pronounce, and his voice was filled with pride that could not be concealed.
"The duel, it's actually happening at this time …"
Minister Dias also knew that this was a competition that the citizens of the Iron Nation were passionate about. It was almost the most sacred tradition of the Iron Nation.
Although Minister Dias hadn't experienced it himself, he could already guess how fanatical the citizens of the Iron Nation were from the long line of civilians lining up on the street.
It could be said that Minister Dias had chosen the worst time to come to the Iron Nation, but he was still confident.
"Let's stop here. Inform your city lord that I'll be paying him a visit soon."
Under Minister Dias' command, the magic carriage slowly stopped by the roadside. He pushed open the door with his servant and got off the carriage. Then, they slowly arrived in front of a building that was almost in ruins.
"Let's go. It looks like we still have a lot of work to do."
Minister Dias was very glad that he had spent a lot of money to buy this piece of land back then. Otherwise, this abandoned building would've been completely demolished a long time ago.
