"Why would the King Slayer come to this tavern? Are you kidding me? "
Knight Colt panted slightly and looked up at the surrounding streets.
Noland was completely different from the capital of the Land of Frost. In the Land of Frost, you could run on a warhorse without a problem.
However, on the streets of Noland, the speed of a horse was much slower than walking.
"There are too many people in this damn city!"
"Trust my 'sense of smell'. The King Slayer is here! He was sprayed with a special spice that only this tavern has. "
A hunchbacked man said to Knight Colt.
"Spice? Why didn't Prince Slykav ask you to poison his cup if he had the chance? "
Knight Coulter gathered the people he recruited from the Kingdom of Frost while complaining about the unnecessary things his superiors had done.
"We've already tried. The spirit around the King Slayer was able to identify the poisonous substance. We've lost a lot of people in the palace because of this." The man beside Knight Colt said in a hoarse voice.
"Whatever, this is our only chance. The King Slayer left his personal guards and came to Noland alone."
Knight Colt gripped the hilt of the longsword at his waist and glanced at the hunchbacked man beside him.
"Once we get in, we'll chase away the drunkards in this shabby tavern. One-eye, you take a team and delay the Enforcers of Noland. For the sake of the royal bloodline!"
The knight yelled in a low voice and rushed into the tavern with his men.
Just as he was about to pull out his longsword and yell at the drunkards to leave this bloody place … the knight's roar was stuck in his throat when he saw the situation inside the tavern.
The tavern was named 'Hearthstone'. The decoration of the front door was very simple. The wooden sign with the words written on it gave off an old feeling. It was no different from the small taverns in the Land of Frost.
However, the first thing that Knight Kurt felt when he entered the tavern was that it was ridiculously huge. The interior of the tavern could no longer be described as an ordinary tavern.
Moreover, the customers sitting in the tavern were not drunkards. There were nearly two hundred tables in the tavern, and most of them were spellcasters and dwarves. Among them, there was no lack of nobles in luxurious clothes.
Damn it! So, the nobles of Noland also went to the tavern?!
Unfortunately, Knight Coulter did not see any scantily clad maids beside the nobles. Instead, there were a bunch of heavily armored dwarves.
"Over there!"
The hunchbacked man next to him was able to pinpoint Shay's location immediately.
The Knight of Kurt shook his head, trying to get rid of the weird thoughts in his mind. An icy blue spirit emerged beside him.
He was also recognized by the Frost Spirit and was one of the strongest knights in the Land of Frost. Unlike Cheil, Knight Kurt was a member of the Old King's Party.
Also, the succession of the new king was a little too strange.
"Kurt, hurry up and get your men to do it." The hunchbacked man urged impatiently.
"Shut up …"
Knight Kurt shifted his gaze from Cheil to the man sitting opposite Cheil.
The moment Knight Coulter recognized Kieran's true identity, he was so nervous that his breathing became a lot more hurried.
"The rumor is true. The King Slayer really colluded with the demons!"
Knight Kurt immediately recognized the man sitting opposite Cheil. It was a demon, a chaos demon of the highest rank.
"Demon?!"
The hunchbacked man was about to say something, but the chaos demon stood up and slowly walked towards them.
"We're in big trouble."
Knight Kurt stared at the Chaos Demon. He had fought with a Chaos Demon before, so he would never forget how terrifying the Chaos Demon was.
"Ugh … It seems like this isn't the first time." Josiah came in front of the people of the Land of Frost and sized them up. "You don't look like you're from the Court of Heresy. Are you here to cause trouble?"
"Cause trouble?" Knight Coulter did not understand what the Chaos Devil was talking about, but he quickly turned to look at Shay, who had a cold expression on his face.
"King Slayer! You're secretly colluding with the demons! "He raised his voice as if he wanted everyone in the tavern to hear him.
If it was any other tavern, people would have looked up to see what was going on. Unfortunately, no matter how loud Knight Kurt's voice was, only a dozen or so spellcasters raised their heads to look at him.
But they only raised their heads to take a look. Soon, they returned their attention to the table in front of them.
What's wrong with these guys? The news of a king using the power of a demon to ascend to the throne was enough to talk about for a whole year.
"What's wrong with that?"
Suddenly, a voice responded to Knight Kurt. He looked around and saw a spellcaster girl walking into the tavern.
From the color of her hair and eyes, she should be from the Land of Frost.
"That King Slayer used the power of the demons to ascend to the throne!"
Knight Kurt didn't understand where this spellcaster girl came from. Could she be a member of another team?
"Sigh … So it's possible to become the king of the Land of Frost by using the power of the demons. If it's that easy, this country would have perished long ago."
"You …" Knight Kurt choked. At this moment, he felt the gazes of the people around him.
There were still many spellcasters from the Land of Frost in the tavern. These spellcasters who could study in Noland were basically the elites of the Land of Frost. Knight Kurt had to control the public's opinion.
"The demons and this King Slayer's conspiracy. As expected, the former king was also killed by the King Slayer using the crime of being a nephilic judge. In order to summon that chaos demon, how many people did you sacrifice? Could it be that the former king was part of it? "
"Cheil, when you return, I hope you can work in a newspaper or a television station or something."
In the end, Josiah couldn't stand it anymore. It wasn't because the knight's words were harsh, but he felt that it was a little sad.
If the ability to create public opinion was compared to strength, then Josiah's strength was enough to crush these people in front of him into pieces.
This was like a crab baring its fangs and claws in front of Josiah. Josiah's heart didn't waver at all. There were only two thoughts in his mind. Should I steam it or braise it?
"And Hiri, wait a minute, he's not talking about you."
Josiah pulled Hiri who was about to roll up her sleeves and punch the knight.
"So you're also the devil's accomplice?"
Knight Kurt felt that victory was already in his grasp. As long as he announced everything that happened in the tavern today to the world, His Majesty the King would welcome the ending of losing his reputation.
"If I remember correctly, you're Kurt Skakif?"
The expression on Cheil's face didn't change at all. Her cold gaze swept across the surroundings. What Cheil was worried about was the impatient expressions of the dwarves around her.
If this knight yelled a few more times, the dwarves might start swinging their hammers.
"That's right, King Slayer Cheil. The evidence of you colluding with the demons is conclusive …"
"I'm here to find my mentor, the Gray Cloaked One."
Although Cheil knew that the other party was here to assassinate her, if Cheil escaped or killed them.
The public opinion in the Land of Frost would become even more uncontrollable.
"No one will believe your lies. Tomorrow, everyone will know your true colors."
When Knight Kurt said this, mist had already drifted around Cheil. It was obvious that the king was ready to execute the person in front of him.
But unfortunately, even if she was executed, it wouldn't affect the public opinion at all.
Her action this time was too rash. But under the influence of a little girl wanting to see her long-lost friend, Cheil didn't think too much about it.
"That, Your Majesty Cheil." Josiah looked at Cheil and said, "Let's meet at the ceremony in three days. Before that, please don't be assassinated. At that time, no one will object to my handshake with you."
"…"
Although Cheil didn't understand what Josiah was talking about, she just nodded slightly.
"Isn't this Cheil?"
The Gray Cloaked One acted as if he didn't see anything and walked in front of Cheil.
"Mentor Rursk." Cheil gave the Gray Cloaked One a mage's bow.
"I guess you're here for the heresy court." The Gray Cloaked One fixed his messy beard and walked straight through the knights. No one dared to touch this sage. "I'll bring you to the embassy in the Land of Frost. It's quieter there."
"Okay."
Cheil quickly followed the Gray Cloaked One and left. She didn't even look at Josiah.
The knights didn't know what to do, but the fully-armed dwarves weren't just for show. They could only choose to leave for now.
…
Night.
"What if I say I don't mind you shaking hands with her?"
Hiri curled up in the corner of the bed. She wrapped the quilt around her body and entered the Quilt Spirit state again. At the same time, she stared at Josiah who was writing something.
"Are you still angry about what happened during the day?"
Josiah turned the ink storage pen in his hand, but his eyes were on Hiri.
She had been in this "I'm not happy" state for the entire afternoon.
"I'm angry about the stupid people in the Land of Frost." Hiri said, "It's already year 577 of the Noland calendar! They actually still stubbornly believe in the Kingdom of Saint's words, saying that demons are very cruel and that they need to offer human souls to summon demons. "
"Stupid people? This tone sounds like a queen. " Josiah stood up from the desk and sat next to the bed. "Hiri, I've only been in Noland for two years from the Underworld. It took two years for the people of Noland to recognize the demons. The impression of the people of other countries probably hasn't changed yet, not to mention the people of the Land of Frost who have been enemies with the demons for a long time."
"I just think it's unfair! Why do the demons have to take the blame for the heresy court? Those guys still treat it as the truth! "Hiri looked at Josiah's calm expression." Aren't you angry? They're insulting your race! If it were me, I would've already beaten that guy into pixels with my staff. "
"Beat into pixels, please do it, Hiri … your staff can't stand up to you."
Josiah glanced at the roof of the room. A mini Wings of Death was angrily spitting out flames.
This also proved that Hiri was indeed angry about what happened during the day.
"If it's me, maybe it's a little different in terms of immersion." Josiah said.
"Immersion?"
"If I said that I used to be a human, would you believe it?" Josiah looked at Hiri's gray eyes and said.
Although he came to this world and became a chaos demon, Josiah was still a celestial on Earth.
If the people of this world said something insulting to the celestial people, Josiah would probably pick up a chair and throw it at the other party's face.
"Used to be a human? What kind of setting is there in the past life? Recently, the Motionless Library seems to have this type of book, and it's quite popular. It's the one written by Sister Dinessa, 'The Past Life Bestowed by the Gods'. "Ciri's interest was immediately piqued when he said this.
"It's … It's quite good." Josh's words were completely against his will. It was mainly because that Sister Nun was simply too diligent. It was just that the content she wrote was too horrible to look at.
"All in all, I don't have much of an opinion about the demon race. I'm only helping the demon race establish relations with the various countries in the world so that I can live a more comfortable life." After saying that, Josh turned to Ciri again. "Are you appeased now?"
"No … Whether it's the things that the Heresy Tribunal did, or those people's misunderstanding of the demon race, they all make me very angry."
When Hiri said this, she used her hand to cover the sheets on her body, and then wrapped them even tighter.
"Is that so?"
Josiah sighed helplessly, and then reached his hand into Hiri's sheets.
"Wait …" Hiri did not know what was going on. Even if her strength exceeded the average range of a human, she was not a match for Josiah who had the bloodline of a Chaos Demon.
Wearing light pajamas, Hiri was easily picked up by Josiah. Because Josiah was hugging the part below Hiri's shoulder, she subconsciously wrapped her legs around Josiah's waist.
Just like that, Josiah carried Hiri, and her legs made Josiah feel a little unexpectedly sexy.
When Josiah raised his head again, Hiri's cheek just happened to be a little above his. Her slightly sparkling lips were a little uneasy, and the color of the skin on her cheeks was replaced by a touch of crimson.
"What … What are you doing all of a sudden?"
The sudden action caused Ciri's face to turn red.
"Are you angry now?" Josiah looked at the girl in front of him and asked.
Hiri could only tilt her head. Just as she was about to speak, she found that she seemed to be gradually losing her balance.
Josiah still overestimated his balance. Before he could do anything, he just took a few steps back when he stepped on something and fell backwards.
"You … Did you become heavier?"
Lying on the ground, Josiah rubbed the back of his head and looked at Hiri who was lying on him.
"No! Look, there's not even a bit of meat here! "
Sitting on Josiah, Hiri showed her slender arms, but before she finished speaking, Josiah held her hand.
