The manor in the center of Noland.
Knight Colt was half-kneeling on the ground. An expensive vase fell beside his feet and shattered into pieces.
"Attacking the King Slayer at this time? Who gave you the order! "
A white-bearded minister pointed at Knight Colt who was half-kneeling on the ground.
"It was Prince Sreekaev." Knight Colt spoke quickly, "The head maid knew that the King Slayer was going to Noland alone, so the prince gave the order. Mr. Reichardt! I also thought it was the only chance. "
"But you failed, didn't you!"
The minister knocked on the table impatiently.
"The King Slayer is still safe in the embassy. Not only that, too many people were exposed in this operation! I planted the head maid beside the King Slayer the moment he stepped into our country. How could you … "
"Mr. Reichardt, but we got a piece of information." Knight Colt said again.
"Information? There's nothing worse than being beheaded when we return to our country! "The minister said impatiently.
"The King Slayer secretly borrowed the power of the devil to ascend to the throne."
"Devil …"
The minister was startled for a moment and asked Knight Colt anxiously.
"Do you have any evidence?"
"Mr. Reichardt, please take a look at this."
Knight Colt took out a piece of 'thin paper' and handed it to the minister. The minister took a look at the 'thin paper'.
"Painting? No … That's not right. "
What was shown on this piece of paper was not a painting, but a real scene.
The background looked like a tavern occupied by dwarves, but the main character was the King Slayer that the minister was familiar with. Beside him stood a young man.
"This thing is called a picture. It's made by a magic machine called a camera. Prince Sreekaev bought it from a merchant from the Iron Nation. When the maid told me that the King Slayer was going to Noland alone, I felt something was wrong … So …"
"Stop bragging about your prediction ability, Colt. Get to the point." The minister pointed at the young man standing beside Cheil in the picture. "He's the devil you mentioned?"
"Not just a demon, but a Chaos Demon of the highest level among the demons! I've never understood why Noland's spellcasters would allow a Chaos demon to enter this city. "
Knight Kurt's voice was a little distorted when he mentioned the word "Chaos Demon". The experience of fighting with the Chaos Demons on the battlefield had left quite a psychological scar on him.
"Sage Noland actually allowed such a dangerous being to step into Noland … Recently, there have been too many incidents related to demons in Noland, including those 'movies'."
The minister stood up and slowly walked to a window, looking at Noland in the night.
"So, did you find out the demon's name and origin?"
"I've asked the customers around this tavern, including the Spell Casters from the Land of Frost. The only thing I know is that the Chaos Devil's name is Josiah," Knight Kurt said.
"Just his name? What about the other information? "
The minister felt that something was wrong. He turned around and looked at the knight, but the knight could only lower his head to hide his incompetence.
"My subordinates told me that there's an intelligence organization in Noland called the Black Pigeon. I tried to contact them."
"Black Pigeon? That's right. I haven't been to Noland for a long time. I've forgotten about them. " The minister seemed to have met with the Black Pigeon before. He asked again, "So, did you buy the information about the demon?"
"N-No." Knight Kurt hesitated for a moment and told the minister about his strange experience in the afternoon. "The member of the Black Pigeon I found was a goblin, but when he heard the word 'Josiah', he kept shaking his head."
"Afraid? Maybe he was threatened by the Chaos Demon. "
Just when the minister was about to order the knight to continue the investigation, the knight raised his head and said with a slightly embarrassed tone.
"Sir Rishnet! The reason the Black Pigeon rejected me was that he 'doesn't lack money' … "
"Doesn't lack money? How is that possible! Go to Squirrel Street in Noland and contact them again, "said the minister.
"Understood. Also, Sir Rishnet, may I ask what your next step is?" Knight Kurt suddenly asked before he left.
"The New King's Party in the Land of Frost is led by Marshal Amt. I will use this photo to plant the seed of doubt in their hearts." The minister picked up his wine glass and glanced at the map of the Land of Frost hanging on the wall. "After all, no matter how loyal the people in the New King's Party are, most of them have absolute hatred for the demon. This time, there will be many people from the New King's Party and the neutral faction visiting the ceremony in Noland. I will give the king slayer a big gift."
"I look forward to the day Your Highness ascends to the throne."
With that, Knight Coulter pushed the door open and left the place.
… …
"So this is what Frostmourne looks like."
Ciri waved the greatsword in his hand, which was emitting a cold aura. The sheep-headed skull beneath the hilt emitted a sinister aura.
"Should I praise you for getting better at creating illusions?"
Josiah wanted to touch the greatsword in Hiri's hand, but unfortunately, his fingers went straight through it.
"Actually, there are still a lot of details that I haven't done, but it's fine." Hiri let go of her hand, and the greatsword shattered into pieces and disappeared. Then, Hiri placed her hand on the crystal mouse.
The magic net interface in front of Hiri showed a forest, but this forest was from a bird's eye view.
"This game's graphics … feel so real."
Ciri moved the mouse, and the forest on the screen began to move to the left, all the way to a plain made up of grassland.
"Ugh, actually, this kind of graphics is pretty bad for me."
Josiah let Hiri play Warcraft 3, a standalone strategy game that influenced a generation on Earth. Of course, it wasn't the Frozen Throne version.
Since Josiah hadn't played the first two games of Warcraft, he used the third game as a blueprint to create this RTS game.
Of course, it was also a beta version. There was only one map, and the race was only human.
At the same time, Josiah used the powerful modeling ability of the World Tree to upgrade the outdated graphics of Warcraft.
However, even after the upgrade, it still couldn't reach a level that Josiah was satisfied with.
"Bad? But I can see the faces of the people inside clearly, and their movements also look real. " Hiri dragged a human farmer to run around, and he obediently followed Hiri's instructions to walk around on the map. "I feel like a lord, no … a god!"
The feeling of looking down on these tiny creatures from the sky made him feel like he was a god.
"After all, you've only played pixel games before," Josiah was just as shocked as Hiri when he first came into contact with a computer game.
"Should I build a house first? Wait … why is he cutting down trees? "
Hiri was already immersed in exploring the game, and didn't pay attention to what Josiah was saying.
"First, you need to build a farmhouse, then a Hero's Altar …"
