Chapter 356 Misunderstanding
"Your Highness Joshua, are you planning to raise that frost elf forever?"
The Prophet sat in the back seat of the magic car, holding a small box in his hand.
All the leaves in the box were the World Tree of the Frost Elf family. Even through the box, the Prophet could feel the huge vitality in it.
From Qiao Xiu's introduction, the prophet learned that holding this leaf of the World Tree has the ability to connect to the magic net in any corner of the world. '
This function makes the leaves of the World Tree an item that all magic net users want to obtain, except for this function.
The leaves of the World Tree are also several precious alchemy items. The prophets recited more than a dozen alchemy potions containing the formula of the World Tree leaves, and all the potions they formulated were extremely expensive on the market.
"Rearing? Prophet, do you have any misunderstanding about the relationship between me and Tailin?" Joshua asked.
"Isn't it? Your Highness Joshua, you provide her with protection and food, and the harvest you get is the World Tree and these leaves. In my opinion, there is no difference between the relationship between the shepherd and the sheep." The prophet said.
"Okay, I admit that what you said is very reasonable, but the shepherd will never pay the sheep to buy beautiful clothes, right? And there are two days off every weekend." Joshua said and stepped on the brakes. The magic car stopped on the side of the road, "And I prefer the relationship between friends to the relationship between nobles and servants."
"Friend... I thought Her Highness Cecily's attitude towards civilians was good enough, but I didn't expect that, Your Highness Joshua, you have no self-awareness as a prince at all," the prophet said.
Didn’t have the self-consciousness of being a prince? Qiao Xiu can’t tell the Prophet that he is a good young man who grew up under that doctrine, right? The job of being a prince is just a part-time job for Qiao Xiu. After coming to Nolan, Qiao Xiu almost forgot about himself There is also the identity of a devil prince.
"Then, Prophet, you know how my eldest sister Cecily... wants to change the Demon Realm?" Joshua asked tentatively.
Qiao Xiu counted the time, and the time for the kingship ordered by the Lord of the Demon Realm is coming soon. Qiao Xiu has voluntarily withdrew from this cruel battle. Currently, the only strong competitors are his elder sister and elder brother.
The person who wins gets the status of ruler, the power to completely change the devil world.
At present, Qiao Xiu is more inclined to remain neutral. After all, Qiao Xiu's understanding of his elder sister only stays in the impression of a 'ruthless watcher'.
"A world that can understand each other." The Prophet carefully recalled that Cecily had told her 'something about ideals' "Her Highness Cecily said that the first step before mutual understanding is to let the other party recognize oneself, The current Demon Realm is too weak and backward, so we will appear in Nolan."
"A world that understands each other...? What if the production level of the Demon World catches up with or even surpasses the human world?"
Joshua believed that as long as the Prophet brought her four apprentices with the knowledge they had learned in Nolan, it would take a while for the production level of the Demon Realm to keep up with Nolan's current progress.
"have no idea."
The Prophet shook his head, this was already beyond the scope of the tasks Cecily entrusted to her.
"At that time, I really wanted to develop tourism in the Devil Realm." Joshua looked at the end of the street, and further on, there was Squirrel Street, a street on the edge of Nolan.
It used to be the most despised street in Nolan, but now it has become a well-known tourist attraction.
"Tourism... industry? You plan to let humans come to the devil world to have fun!"
The Prophet relied on his own knowledge to understand the meaning of what Joshua called 'tourism'. The thoughts of His Royal Highness the Third Prince were so strange that it was hard to understand.
"Your Highness Qiao Xiu, let me remind you that the Demon World is an extremely dangerous place in the human mind."
"Squirrel Street used to have the same impression among the people of Nolan. Humans' impression of the Demon World is gradually changing, isn't it? At that time, maybe we can find a piece of open space in the Demon World to build an amusement park or something."
"You... what?"
The Prophet suddenly began to miss the days when the spellcaster named Ciri was by Joshua's side. At least when Joshua uttered some words that the Prophet could not understand, she would always give a word that the Prophet could understand immediately. explain.
"Let's discuss this issue in the future. After all, this is based on the premise that the Demon Realm has become stronger in the true sense, the kind of premise that makes human beings feel fearful as a country, rather than wanton wars like they are now."
Joshua stepped on the accelerator of the magic car, and while the prophet was chatting, the magic car had already driven to the entrance of the underground city.
……………
Under Nolan, it is located in the mine of the Frostaxe clan.
Pest hangs upside down above the mine in the posture of a bat, looking at the wooden boxes piled up inside the mine. The seals of the wooden boxes are marked with two labels of 'Klia Trading Company' and 'Food'.
This mine has turned into a large grain storage warehouse at some point. In order to prevent some bugs and mice from stealing the grain, a barrier of 'dispelling weak creatures' has been set up around the mine.
At the end of the mine there was a portal emitting a light green light. Shortly after Pest flew into the portal, a group of figures covered in pitch-black armor walked out of the portal.
When they stepped into the mine, their hands were always on the hilt of the sword, and the killing intent began to overflow in the entire mine.
"Watcher, you let us steal the food stored by the dwarves?"
After confirming that there were no other living creatures in the mine, the leading knight looked up at Pest who was hanging upside down on the mine.
"Dwarves? No, General Faisley, the food stored here belongs to us, or to say, it belongs to the third prince, His Highness Joshua Anorod, who bought the food in Nolan to alleviate the famine in the royal city." crisis."
Bathed in scarlet blood, Pest transformed from a bat into a human form. She stood in front of the demon covered in armor and opened her hands to explain.
"There is no reason for those cunning humans to sell food to the demons..." The general didn't seem to believe what Pest said, but the next second he pulled out his sword suddenly, because he felt a dangerous aura coming. Approach here.
"Monitor! Are you sure this is not a trap set by those cunning humans?!" He shouted loudly at Pest.
"Calm down! The humans here are a little different from what you imagined."
Pest tried to persuade the general to act excessively, but the general named Faisley was unmoved.
"Ready to fight!"
The gray magic power condensed on the general's sword, and the knights in black armor who followed him also pulled out their swords and shields, and stood in front of the general to form a defense against cavalry and the like. formation.
They were ready to face the battle in just a few seconds, even if it was a trap, he had to bring the food back to the Demon Realm!
Seeing their fully armed appearance in an instant, Pest sighed slightly, which reminded her that when she came to Nolan last time, her condition was not much better than his.
After all, humans and demons have been enemies for too long, and human cities are fortresses full of enemies for these demons on the front line.
Any creature here has the possibility to kill him, that's why the general's nerves are so sensitive and vigilant.
When Pest told them in the Demon Realm, 'Our destination is the human city Nolan', their faces showed expressions of being ready to die.
These knights held their breaths listening to the sound that the end of the mine was getting closer, and the strength of the long swords in their hands became stronger and stronger, as if the approaching creatures could swallow them in one gulp Like a monster.
"If it was a trap, you wouldn't be able to stand there so safely."
A voice sounded at the end of the mine, and when the general saw clearly the figure slowly walking from the end of the mine, the magic power wrapped around the blade dissipated instantly.
He immediately pierced the blade into the rock on the ground, and then half-kneeled on the ground.
The knights in front of him also instantly realized who the owner of the voice was, and put down their weapons one after another and made the same movement.
"Your Highness Joshua, forgive me for being rude."
"Don't mind, any demons will be a little nervous when they come to Nolan, and the watcher Pest beside you is the same, shouting something like 'Your Highness, you are in a very dangerous situation now'."
Following the guidance of the prophet, Joshua came to the mine where grain was stored, and Pest, who was standing beside him, could only silently listen to Joshua expose his dark history so openly.
"But Your Highness Joshua, you are now in a city full of humans, and those cunning humans are indeed very dangerous!"
Hearing the general's righteous warning, Qiao Xiu rubbed his eyebrows with some headaches.
Although Qiao Xiu had changed the human's impression of the demons to a certain extent after being in Nolan for so long, the demon's impression of humans did not change at all.
Some demons are hostile to humans, while others are afraid.
However, Joshua didn't have the time to do what he did when he educated Pest and the Prophet's apprentices. It was impossible for the general to understand that there are good people in human beings.
Judging from the content of my sister's text message, they just came here to carry supplies and prepare for the upcoming war, instead of going to Nolan for a day trip.
"I don't know anymore. Speaking of which, what's your name?" Qiao Xiu pointed at the general and asked.
The general took off the helmet on his head, and his jet-black long hair poured down. It was hard to imagine that this heavily armored knight looked as feminine as a girl.
"Fisli Anorod, I belong to the Second Legion under your brother's command." He made a short self-introduction.
"The supplies you need are here."
Qiao Xiu patted the pile of wooden boxes beside his hand. The surface of the wooden boxes was engraved with inscriptions that could prevent food from spoiling. There is no problem with storing these foods here for one to two years.
"What happened when you told me 'the war is about to start' by the way?"
That General Fesley quickly directed the knights under him to quickly send the wooden boxes to the other side of the portal, while still half kneeling on the ground, he explained the whole story of the war to Joshua.
"At this time of the year, the ice and snow around the fortress will melt, and the human army will attack... We have resisted the attacks of humans in the past few years, but this year due to the large-scale incineration of the fields inside the Demon Realm ' The reason is that the supplies in the fortress are close to exhaustion, and Her Royal Highness Cecily gave us a suggestion, which is to seek your help." He paused here, and then glanced at the knights who were carrying wooden boxes behind him Then say.
"When I learned from the watcher Pest that I was going to the human world to get supplies, I was ready to go to war with humans and plunder their food, but I didn't expect everything to go so smoothly. I... Curious about Joshua How did you do it, Your Highness?"
So this 'war' is something that happens every year? No wonder both the Prophet and his elder sister acted so calmly.
But if the border fortress of the Demon Realm is breached, it will definitely turn into an all-out war.
"Just set Nolan's reputation to friendly," Qiao Xiu said.
"prestige?"
General Faisley raised his head suspiciously. He noticed the prophet standing beside Joshua. The prophet who had been serving the second princess was a well-known wise man in the devil world.
He hoped that the prophet could explain what Qiao Xiu said, but the prophet could only shake his head to express that he didn't understand either.
"These are not important. Come... take these and hand them over to my elder brother Nogus. There is a letter in it. He will understand after reading it." Joshua handed over the two wooden boxes The general contained one hundred raw crystals carrying the core of the magic net, and one hundred leaves of the World Tree.
Ever since Tailin's World Tree grew up, there were more than ten pieces of hair shed every day, so Joshua could consider opening a 'mobile wifi store' or something.
"Your Highness Qiao Xiu." General Faisley took the box with a solemn expression, then looked up at Qiao Xiu and asked, "Is this the relic you entrusted?"
"Relic?"
Qiao Xiu said why he suddenly felt that the atmosphere around him became a little tragic.
"You chose to stay in the extremely dangerous city of Nolan for the sake of the people of the Devil Realm. Your elder brother was disappointed because you gave up the campaign for kingship, but it was because of such a tragic..."
"Stop your brains!"
Qiao Xiu always had a feeling that he would be put into a coffin sprinkled with flowers in the next second and then carried back to the devil world for a deep burial.
"Listen up, Faisli! As long as our demons don't commit any crimes in Nolan, we won't be hostile by humans! Now the demons can freely walk on the streets of Nolan!"
"I can't understand what you mean, Your Highness Joshua."
Since the Chaos Demon was born, he had grown up fighting against humans. Perhaps in his eyes, humans were also an extremely cruel race.
"Okay..." Qiao Xiu packed the three original crystals and stuffed them for him. "Although I don't think it's useful, you can take a look at the contents if you have time. Just don't use the magic power of chaos to activate these original crystals. "
