Nogus was outside the Demon World's Royal City. This used to be a fertile field, but now the land had turned to dust. The demons that lived here were nowhere to be seen.
"After father passed away, did Cersei become the ruler of the Royal City?"
Nogus half-knelt on the ground and picked up the grey land. He looked at the Demon World's Royal City from afar.
Although the land outside was barren, the Royal City seemed to have become more prosperous. There was an endless stream of human creations entering the Royal City from the city gate.
"No, Her Highness Cersei is managing this city, but she did not announce to anyone that she inherited the position of ruler."
A watcher stood behind Nogus and said.
Nogus guarded the Demon World's border all year round, but he had planted many of his spies in the Royal City. When he heard the news of his father's death, his first reaction was that his sister had used some despicable means.
However, the intelligence brought back by the spies was very disadvantageous to Nogus.
Two of the four dukes seemed to be on Cersei's side. In addition, the snowstorm on the Frost Plains had stopped. Nogus had no time to deal with the dispute in the Royal City.
"Not yet? What is she waiting for? "
Nogus let go of the land that had turned to dust. A month was enough for Cersei to turn the Royal City and even the entire Demon World into her possession.
Nogus could not guess Cersei's and Josiah's actions. This time, he could not confirm whether Josiah's invitation was real or fake.
However … the Land of Frost did not show any signs of sending troops. Nogus wanted to use this opportunity to sort out the internal affairs of the Demon World.
The first thing he wanted to do was to go to Noland and negotiate with the king of the Land of Frost!
A dark green teleportation door opened beside Nogus. General Voss appeared in front of Nogus, escorting an old man in blue with shackles on his hands.
After entering the fortress at the border, he used his magic power and the Sage's Emblem to prove his identity.
One of the Seven Sages of Noland, the old man in blue.
"This is … this is the corrosion of an object from the outside world."
After walking out of the teleportation door, the old man in blue's first reaction was to kneel on the barren ground like Nogus.
"An object from the outer world …"
This wasn't the first time Nogus had heard of this term. Josiah had warned him a long time ago that the real enemy wasn't the humans of the Land of Frost, but the master of the Grey Fog.
Noggs had never taken this warning to heart.
The man in blue put his hands on the ground. His hands were wearing shackles that could seal magic, but blue inscriptions flashed on his arms. These inscriptions spread to the man in blue's cheeks.
The flaming spear in General Voss' hand was pressed against the sage's neck.
"Stop," said Nogus.
"The land of your country has already died from the corrosion of the Outer World, but there is a flourishing vitality under the corpse." The blue-clothed man said with some disbelief.
"Your Highness."
General Voss waited for Noggs' next order.
"To the portal to Noland."
Under this order, General Voss directly grabbed his arm and threw him directly into the portal.
Noggs also walked into the portal. When he walked out of the portal again, he arrived at a warehouse at the edge of the Abyss of Sin.
When the demons who were pushing the cart saw Nogus, they were all stunned.
Noggs didn't tell Cersei that he would be coming back. Noggs didn't care about the stunned demons either. He directly walked into the portal to Noland under the guidance of General Voss.
…
Embassy of the Land of Frost.
Josiah wore formal attire for once today. He sat in the meeting room of the embassy of the Land of Frost.
The noble King of the Land of Frost, Cheil, was sitting at the top of the meeting room. Other than that, there were many nobles that Josiah wasn't familiar with sitting in the meeting room.
Josiah and Cheil hadn't seen each other in reality for a long time. Usually, they would occasionally chat on the magic net about some trivial topics.
The impression that Cheil gave Josiah in the text messages was that she was a little girl who loved to send love packages. But today in reality … that little girl who always had an owl's expression when she spoke had turned into a cold and somewhat unreasonable queen.
Murderous aura really existed. Although Josiah had tried his best to avoid the topic of the internal affairs of the Land of Frost, from some of the information that Cheil revealed, she had been pacifying the civil strife in the Land of Frost.
As for how many people were killed during this period of pacification, Josiah had no way of knowing. But seeing those old nobles obediently submitting to this young king who had only been in power for less than a year, Cheil still had some political skills.
As Josiah sighed at Cheil's ruthless methods, a text message popped up in front of Josiah's eyes.
This text message was from Cheil, and the content was' a little nervous'.
The moment Josiah received this text message, he looked at Cheil who was sitting at the highest point. Josiah couldn't see any signs of nervousness from her at all.
'I'm your negotiation opponent now. Is it really good to expose your current state of mind to your opponent?'
Josiah used his fingers to click on the virtual keyboard below to edit the message and send it to Cheil.
‘？’
This short symbol was accompanied by an owl tilting its head emoji that Josiah had seen many times.
'Don't send question marks. I'm now representing the Realm of Devils in this negotiation.'
'Negotiation is the thing I'm the worst at. This is the dispute of the Realm of Devils that the late king hasn't solved for many years, so I'm really nervous now.'
Cheil didn't seem to understand Josiah's position at all. Although the Realm of Devils was negotiating peace with the Land of Frost this time, the conditions of the peace negotiations needed to be discussed by both sides.
The two sides would certainly argue about the conditions. As the representative of the Realm of Devils, Josiah was, in a sense, Cheil's enemy.
However, the 'general' of the Land of Frost took the initiative to talk to the enemy before the confrontation and said, 'I'm afraid I can't win.'
'This … You're able to gain the trust of the people and nobles in the country, so you should be quite eloquent. But don't you think so?'
Josiah had inquired about Cheil's current reputation in the Land of Frost. It could almost be described as a national hero. Cheil was deeply loved by the people and admired by some nobles. Others were afraid of him.
'I'm only responsible for quelling the rebellion. I rarely speak in front of the people … General Amt told me,' If you don't know what to say, it's better to stay silent. This will make you look more dignified. '
Cheil also attached this message with a proud owl's thumbs up with its wings.
'…'
At this time, Josiah didn't know how to answer other than sending ellipses. At this time, Josiah also vaguely heard the discussion between the nobles behind him.
"The century-long war can finally end today. His Majesty Cheil has done something that even the greatest hero of our country can't do."
"Those demons must be afraid of His Majesty Cheil. That's why they took the initiative to negotiate."
Wait a minute. When I proposed to your king to 'solve the dispute between the Demon Realm and the Land of Frost', your king was still eating ice cream! What dignity is there to talk about?
Josiah quietly listened to the group of nobles behind him praising Cheil. Perhaps in their opinion, this peace conference must have been facilitated by Cheil.
The peace between the Demon Realm and the Land of Frost had been brought too much damage to the two countries. In the past few generations of kings also tried to negotiate peace with the Demon Realm, but the final result was failure.
In the future, this feat would probably be written in the history books of the Land of Frost, and Cheil would probably be another virtuous king of a generation or something.
While Josiah was thinking about whether this peace conference could go smoothly, Josiah received a new message.
"Where is the location?"
The owner of this message was Nogus.
"The embassy of the Land of Frost. Brother, I remember I've already sent someone to pick you up in a magic car." Josiah immediately replied.
"That noisy machine made by the humans? Sitting on that thing makes me feel very uncomfortable. It's like I'm cursed. "
That's not a curse. It's just you getting carsick, okay!
"Then brother, you …"
"Isn't this the most prosperous human city? Why isn't there even a coachman? "
The carriage was already eliminated by Noland's courier station half a year ago! Brother! Driving a magic car is popular now.
