Chapter 386: Chapter 387, compromise
The appearance of the Skeleton Duke was rather sudden.
It was so sudden that the entire camp was in a state of battle readiness.
This included the purple-clothed person who had long known that Jose had once contracted with a Lich Lord. When she sensed the deathly aura that quietly pervaded the camp, she immediately took out her magic staff and stood out.
Jose could understand the reaction of the guards brought by the Black Swan Troupe. Anyone who suddenly saw a wild black dragon blocking their way would either immediately fall to the ground and their legs would go weak, they would either pull out their longsword and try to put up some resistance before they died.
The impact of the descent of the Lord of the Lich was almost the same as the impact of the black dragon flapping its wings and falling from the sky. After all, they were on the same level.
What surprised Joshua was his elder brother, Noggs.
Noggs flashed and directly blocked between Joshua and the skeleton duke. Gray magic power had already filled his body. He was ready to fight at any time.
“What a surprise. I’m quite popular with you guys.”
The soul fire in the skeletal Duke’s eye sockets was staring at Noggs in front of him and the purple-robed man standing beside Joshua.
As for the spellcasters and knights who were holding magic staffs and crossbows, the skeletal Duke did not pay any attention to them.
“Skeletal duke! I’ll deal with these humans. You Don’t have to worry.”
Nogus’nerves had already tensed up when he was communicating with the Grand Duke skeleton.
Among the four dukes of the demon world, only the Grand Duke of fresh blood and the water elemental lord were able to have a good conversation. As for the Dark Dragon Duke, he was a guy who completely trampled on the weak according to his own preferences.
The Grand Duke skeleton was even more famous for being paranoid. She would never listen to anyone’s orders. At the same time, she was extremely disgusted to come into contact with living things, especially humans.
Nogus guessed that the Duke skeleton was attracted by the human presence here!
“You handle it. Is this an order to me? You’re not qualified yet, little one. Let your father talk to me. I can listen to it.”
The Duke Skeleton’s ear-piercing voice entered Nogus’ears like a mocking laugh.
The Lord of the Lich never cared about anyone’s identity, even if the other party was the ruler of the demon world.
“Then leave these humans to the Grand Duke of Bones.”
Nogus did not intend to provoke the Lord of the Lich and was ready to bring Joshua back to the imperial city.
However, the instant Nogus turned around, the death aura that filled the air shattered the teleportation door behind nogus.
“Joshua must stay.”The words of the Grand Duke of bones made Nogus’mood drop to the freezing point.
“I must bring him back.”
Noggs turned to face the skeleton duke again. His hand was already gripping the hilt of his sword, ready to fight.
This dispute could cause the internal relationship of the demon world to be completely broken. As the source of the dispute, Joshua could no longer remain silent.
“Elder brother Noggs, you might have misunderstood.”Joshua walked directly to the side of the skeleton duke.
“Misunderstanding? You…”before Noggs could finish his words, Joshua showed the mark in his palm to Noggs.
That mark represented that he was an ally of the skeleton duke.
“The skeleton Duke was invited here by me. I didn’t inform everyone beforehand. It’s considered my negligence,”Joshua said. “However, can you calm down now?”
The tensed nerves of Noggs eased up a little.
The contract in Joshua’s hands was enough to prove that Joshua’s status in the demonic world was not as simple as the third prince.
The following matters were much easier to resolve. With the skeletal Duke’s existence, Noggs was finally willing to listen to Joshua’s information about the Holy Church’s country and the heretic court.
“Impossible! How could our country be controlled by a weak country like the Holy Church’s Country?”
When Joshua had just told Noggs the information that he had deduced a few days ago, a human girl who had been quietly following behind Noggs suddenly opened her mouth to interrupt him.
“She is my captive, a soldier from the frost country.”
A chain suddenly appeared in Noggs’hand. After the runes on the chain glowed, she opened her mouth but could not make any sound.
“If you don’t want to believe me, you can continue to defend the fortress this year. However, I don’t think the attack of the Frost Kingdom this year will be as intense as the previous years, because someone has already discovered what the holy church has done. The relationship between the two countries’allies will not last long.”
“Where did you get this information from?”Noggs suddenly asked.
The heretic trial court was an extremely secretive organization in the land of the sacred religion. Even if Noggs knew about the existence of the judges, he had only fought with them about five times.
Noggs had also been trying to gather information about these ‘assassins’, but the results so far were very little.
However, Joshua took out a copy of the ‘encyclopedia’of the judges at once. His abilities and weaknesses were clearly marked.
“Weave, you can ask your adjutant general Phyllis about this. He will give you an answer.”
When Joshua was providing supplies to the border fortress, he had stuffed 100 origin crystals and 100 leaves of the world tree into it.
The journey back to the imperial city this time around was too rushed. He did not come into contact with the supplies provided by Joshua.
“During the time that I was away, you have done many things that I can not understand.”
Nogus glanced at the archduke skeleton who was standing behind Joshua.
It was unrealistic to forcefully bring Joshua back to the imperial city or the border fortress under the protection of the archduke skeleton.
“The most difficult thing to understand is the attitude of those humans towards our race and the sin demons.”Nogus looked behind the archduke skeleton.
The actors of the Black Swan Theatre and the White Thorn Theatre had already left under the arrangements of their managers. However, there were still some actors of the Black Swan Theatre who kept peeping over.
Did these humans still not understand their current situation? Deep into the demon world, there was a lich lord nearby. Not only was there a lich lord, but there were also two chaos demons.
This configuration could be considered the final level of the game. However, no matter how Noggs looked at it, the humans, especially the women, still acted as if they were here for an outing.
“The answer is still on the magic net.”Joshua could not describe the existence of the movie to a person who had never seen it.
“The magic net… ?”Noggs felt that this conversation was about to end. “Joshua, my ‘eyes’are everywhere in the demon world, so I hope that you won’t give up on the Yanorod surname.”
“Don’t worry, I don’t have any thoughts of changing my family name for the time being.”
Jose watched as the ruler of the border fortress disappeared into the rift in space-time, together with the captured female soldier.
