Chapter 387 Compromise
The skeleton man's appearance was a little sudden.
The sudden arrival brought the entire camp into a state of combat readiness.
Including the purple-clothed man who already knew that Joshua had made a contract with a lich lord, she immediately stood up with a magic wand after sensing the breath of death quietly permeating the camp.
Qiao Xiu could understand the reaction of the guards brought by the Black Swan troupe. Anyone who was walking on the road suddenly saw a wild black dragon blocking the way. Either he fell to the ground immediately and his legs became weak, or he drew his long sword and tried to kill him. Put up some resistance before dying.
The impact of the arrival of this Lich Lord is almost the same as the impact brought by the black dragon flapping its wings from the sky. After all, they are both existences of the same level.
What surprised Joshua was his elder brother Nogus.
Nogus stepped between Joshua and Skeletal Lord with a dodge. His body was filled with gray magic power, and he was ready to fight at any time.
"Unexpectedly, I am still quite popular with you."
The soul fire in the skeleton's eye sockets was staring at Nogus in front of him, and the man in purple standing beside Qiao Xiu.
As for the casters and knights with staffs and crossbows around them, Mr. Bones didn't notice them at all.
"Duke Skeleton! These humans are handled by me, you don't need to worry."
Nogus's nerves were tense when he communicated with the skeleton.
Among the four dukes in the Demon Realm, only the Duke of Blood and the Lord of Water Elements can have a good conversation. As for the Duke of Black Dragon, he is a guy who ravages the weak completely according to his own preferences.
The Duke of Bones is a famous paranoid, she will never obey anyone's orders, and at the same time she hates contact with living things, especially humans.
Nogus guessed that Mr. Bones was attracted by the human breath here!
"You handle it, is this an order for me? You are not qualified little guy, let your father come and talk to me, I can listen to it."
The ear-piercing voice of the Skeleton Lord reached Nogus' ears, like a sarcastic laugh.
This Lich Lord never cared about anyone's identity, even if the other party was the ruler of the Demon Realm, he would be merciless.
"Then these humans will be handed over to you, Grand Duke Skeleton."
Nogus didn't intend to provoke the Lich Lord, and was going to take Joshua back to the royal city.
But the moment Nogus turned around, the breath of death shattered the portal behind Nogus.
"Josh, he has to stay." The words of Skeletal Lord made Nogus's mood drop to freezing point.
"I have to bring him back."
Nogus turned to face Skeletal Lord again, holding the hilt of his sword in his hand, ready to fight.
This dispute may lead to a complete breakdown of the internal relationship in the Demon Realm, and Joshua, who is the source of the dispute, cannot continue to remain silent.
"Brother Nogus, you may have misunderstood." Joshua walked directly to the bone bone.
"Misunderstanding? You..." Before Nogus could finish his words, Joshua showed Nogus the mark on his palm.
That mark represents the ally relationship with Skeleton Lord.
"Mr. Bones was invited by me. It was my negligence for not notifying everyone in advance." Qiao Xiu said, "However, can you calm down now?"
Nogus' originally tense nerves eased a little.
The covenant in Qiao Xiu's hand is enough to prove that Qiao Xiu's status in the demon world may not be as simple as "the third prince".
The rest of the matter was much easier to solve. With the presence of the Skeletal Lord, Nogus was finally willing to listen to Joshua's information about the Kingdom of the Holy Cult and the Inquisition.
"Impossible! How could our country be controlled by a weak country like the Kingdom of the Holy Order?"
Just as Joshua told Nogus the information he deduced a few days ago, a human girl who had been silently following Nogus suddenly interrupted him.
"She is my prisoner, a soldier of the Frost Kingdom."
A chain suddenly appeared in Nogus' hand, and after the inscription on the chain shone brightly, she opened her mouth and could no longer make any sound.
"If you don't want to believe me, brother, you can continue to guard the fortress this year, but I think this year's Frost Kingdom's attack will not be as fierce as in previous years, because someone has already discovered what the Holy Church has done. The relationship between the allies of the two countries is unlikely and may not last long."
"Where did you get this information?" Nogus asked suddenly.
The Heresy Inquisition is an extremely hidden organization in the Kingdom of the Holy Order. Even if Nogus knew about the existence of the Inquisitors, he only fought them about five times.
Nogus has also been trying to collect information on these 'assassins', but so far there are very few results.
However, Qiao Xiu took out a copy of the judge's "encyclopedia illustration book" all at once, and his abilities and weaknesses were clearly marked.
"Magic Net, you can ask your adjutant, General Phyllis, about this, and he will give you an answer."
When Qiao Xiu provided supplies for the border fortress, he stuffed a hundred raw crystals and a hundred leaves of the World Tree into it.
Nogus' journey back to the king's city was too hasty this time, and he didn't come into contact with the supplies provided by Joshua.
"During the time I was away, you did a lot of things that I couldn't understand."
Nogus glanced at the skeletal prince standing behind Qiao Xiu.
It is unrealistic to forcefully bring Qiao Xiu back to the Royal City or the border fortress under the protection of Lord Skeleton.
"The most difficult thing to understand is the attitude of those human beings towards our family and the criminal demon family." Nogus looked behind the skeleton.
The actors of the Black Swan Troupe and the White Thorn Troupe have already left under the arrangement of their managers, but some actors of the Black Swan Troupe are still peeping here.
Have these human beings still not understood their situation? Going deep into the demon world, a Lich Lord is nearby, not only the Lich Lord but also two Chaos Demons.
This kind of configuration can be regarded as the last level of the game, but no matter how Nogus looks at it, those humans, especially women, still behave like they are here for an outing.
"The answer to this is still on the magic net." Joshua couldn't describe the existence of a movie to someone who hadn't seen it.
"The magic net...?" Nogus felt that the conversation was almost over. "Josh, my 'eyes' are everywhere in the devil world, so I hope you don't give up the name Arnorod."
"Don't worry, I have no intention of changing my surname for the time being."
Qiao Xiu watched as the ruler of the border fortress disappeared into the rift of time and space, including the captured female soldier.
