Demon Realm.
"Even this land is dead?"
Cersei half-knelt on a piece of land that had already turned white.
This was the territory of one of the four dukes of the Demon Realm, the water elemental lord.
After the crops planted in the towns and villages around the Demon Realm gradually turned white and withered, Cersei decided to open up a new farm on this land.
But the ground under Cersei's feet had already turned white, and it gradually turned from soil to gray dust, losing all value.
This grayish-white began to spread in the Demon Realm like a plague. Even if the prophet found countless human planting methods, there was no way to use them.
"What's going on?"
Cersei looked at the decaying trees around her, and she felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
She could calm the unrest in the capital of the Demon Realm, eliminate all unsettling factors that threatened the people in the capital, and re-establish diplomatic relations with the human kingdom.
But in the face of this strange disease, Cersei was helpless.
She searched many books in the library of the capital of the Demon Realm, but there was no record of this situation.
A dark green portal appeared behind Cersei, and the prophet's petite figure walked out of it.
"His Highness Josiah is back," the prophet said.
"Josiah?"
Cersei heard the name and immediately stood up.
The uneasiness brought about by the decay of the land was quickly and gradually resolved …
Josiah had brought too many miracles to the Demon Realm. From the beginning, he had the human kingdom of Falosi establish diplomatic relations with the Demon Realm, to making some of the specialties of the Demon Realm become 'hot sellers' in Noland. These were things that Cersei could not have imagined before.
"Take me to him."
Cersei followed the prophet into the dark green portal.
The portal led to the center of the capital of the Demon Realm, the center of power in the entire Demon Realm.
Cersei went all the way to the courtyard and saw Josiah, whom she had not seen for almost a month.
She immediately walked in front of Josiah, and before Josiah could speak, she began to look at Josiah.
"…"
Josiah was at the mercy of this elder sister. She held Josiah's face in her hands and looked at it for a long time. Then she looked at Josiah's hands.
She was checking to see if there were any signs of injury on Josiah's body. From a very young age, the Third Prince of the Demon Realm liked to play with some dangerous things, and then toss himself all over with injuries.
However, the previous Third Prince had already died in an experiment. To the current Josiah, it was just a copy of his memory.
Therefore, Josiah's feelings for his elder sister were only that of an older friend, a friend that he needed to hide from.
The reason why Josiah did not return to the Demon Realm was that he did not want to see Cersei.
After all, Josiah had to hide some cruel facts from Cerxli.
"Who are they?"
Cersei heaved a sigh of relief after making sure that her younger brother didn't do anything suicidal and injure her all over. She then looked behind Josh again.
"The old Chinese doctor I invited for you … No, they are high elves … They have the ability to cure the Grey Fog."
Josiah pointed to the high elven priests standing behind him.
Although Hiri had been standing next to Josiah, Josiah did not introduce her, because this elder sister Cersei had long heard of this human girl.
"High elves?"
Cersei looked at the tall figures behind Josiah. From the eyes of the high elf in the lead, she read something called "hostility".
However, she quickly controlled the dangerous look in her eyes.
"My name is En Ya. I came here on behalf of the Children of the Forest."
Elder En Ya gave a simple introduction of her identity.
Cersei's understanding of the elves was only limited to the "idols" that had been discussed on the Weave recently. These elves were beautiful, could sing, and could dance. Thinking of this, it seemed that her succubus also had such skills.
"They can cure the ashes of the land?"
Cersei was not in the mood to think about the Weave now. The large-scale ashes of the Demon Realm had gradually become a crisis that could threaten the existence of the Demon Realm.
Although the golden potion that Josiah gave Cersei could alleviate the spread of the ashes, it still seemed a little … powerless on this vast land.
"The ashes of the land are still continuing? It's a little tricky. Sister Cersei, have you … seen Father? "
Josiah vaguely remembered that if he wanted to go to the top of the tower to see Fuya, unless it was a special person allowed by the ruler of the Demon Realm, such as the dark elf Qianmian … Others had to first get permission from the ruler.
"Father hasn't come out of the altar for a long time."
Cersei looked at the tallest building in the capital. Josiah's words reminded her of another thing she was worried about.
"He hasn't … come out yet?"
If Josiah remembered correctly, the first time he saw the ruler was in the watcher's altar.
If he hadn't left the altar since then … In other words, he had been in there for a whole year!
"Sister Cersei, didn't you knock on the door?"
Josiah immediately walked quickly in the direction of the altar. A kind of uneasiness surrounded Josiah's heart.
"I went to ask Father, but he hasn't responded to me recently," said Cersei.
"Then you should just push the door open and go in!"
What if your old father has a stroke again?!
Josiah held back his next words. Cersei was not the kind of woman who liked to joke.
"Forcibly breaking into the watcher's altar violates the taboo of our race. You will be … sentenced to death," Cersei warned Josiah.
"Another taboo …"
When Josiah heard this word, he looked at the high elves behind him with a headache. This group of elves also had a lot of clan rules that made him uncomfortable.
"But it's close to the time of the king's selection. Now I have enough reason to ask Father."
Fortunately, Cersei was a flexible person. Under Josiah's indication, she understood that things were too abnormal and could not continue to wait.
"We can't go in there, right?"
Hiri looked at the water elemental servants walking in the castle corridor and approached Josiah to ask in a low voice.
Just from Josiah's mention of the altar, Hiri felt that this was a 'forbidden place for outsiders'.
"This … Alright, Hiri, wait here with the high elves for a while."
Josiah glanced at his elder sister's serious expression. He could only let Hiri and the high elven priests wait where they were while he followed Cersei all the way to the watcher's altar.
The door of the watcher's altar was still locked. Cersei silently looked at Josiah behind her and silently said 'forgive me' before using her hand to push open the stone door engraved with inscriptions.
The door gradually opened … A strong smell of blood quietly permeated the entire corridor.
The watcher's altar was shrouded in darkness. Josiah took out a raw crystal used for illumination and dispelled the surrounding darkness. In the distance, he could vaguely see a figure kneeling on the ground.
"Father!" Cersei wanted to go up and talk to the ruler, but after taking a few steps forward, she gradually stopped.
Josiah came behind Cersei with the shining raw crystal in his hand and saw the figure in the darkness.
The ruler of the Demon World, Nottelaine Yanorod.
But this ruler was half-kneeling on the ground, using the longsword behind him to support his aged body. In his other hand was a heart.
This heart was the ruler's own …
Blood dripped on the ground and gradually dried up. The heart had also completely withered and died …
Secret room murder case? This was the first thought that came to Josiah's mind when he saw this scene.
But Cersei, who was beside him, was already in a state of rage.
"Elder Sister Cersei, there seems to be a scroll on the ground."
Josiah looked at Cersei's clenched fists. She was controlling her emotions. Josiah also took a deep breath and then pointed to the ground. In front of the ruler's longsword was a scroll.
Cersei slowly walked towards the ruler's corpse and then picked up the scroll on the ground. She confirmed that there was no magic or mechanism in the scroll before opening it.
