“I always felt that I was a black-hearted boss who squeezed the employees.”

Joshua handed a glass of wine from the tavern to the Dark Elf in front of him and said.

“Are you really not going to rest for a few days before returning to the Frost Kingdom?”

“My past experiences have made me unable to get used to the life of ‘resting’.”

The Dark Elf did not reject the wine that Joshua handed her. She picked up the wooden glass and downed the wine in one gulp.

Listening to the Dark Elf’s words, Joshua felt that even a Pulitzer Prize was not enough to recognize her achievements. Perhaps he should add a best employee award as well.

“Frost Kingdom? You sent thousand faces to Frost Kingdom?”

Ever since the Dark Elf entered the tavern, Cecily had been quietly listening to the conversation between Joshua and the Dark Elf.

This Dark Elf named thousand faces had a very special status in the demon world. She did not belong to the position of a watcher, but she had the power of a watcher. If one had to define her position in the demon world.., then she would be the ‘personal guard of the fourth princess’.

This dark elf only listened to the orders of the fourth princess and the ruler of the demon world. After thousand faces received the order to go to the human world to spy on Joshua, this was the second time Cecily had seen her in the demon world.

In Cecily’s opinion, this dark elf seemed to have become a subordinate of Joshua. Moreover, Joshua had sent her to the Frost Kingdom?

“A few days ago, I saw the news of the internal strife in the frost kingdom on the Spellcaster Forum. Is It related to… thousand face?”

Cecily instantly thought of the information she had seen on the mana net. It was the ‘internal strife in the Frost Kingdom’.

No matter which page Cecily went to on the Spellcaster Forum, she would see information about the internal strife in the frost kingdom.

At first, Cecily thought that there was a problem within the frost kingdom itself, and she was slightly relieved for the defense of the border of the Demon World this year.

It was not until she had listened to the conversation between Joshua and the dark elves that Cecily realized that this matter was not simple.

“Regarding this, I was… very lucky to have met Prince Shiel, who was known as the ‘King Slayer’on the Spellcaster Forum on the Mana Net. Then, I was very lucky to have let him learn about some conspiracy related to the trial court through the Mana Net, and helped him to start a rebellion in the Frost Kingdom.”

Joshua used very simple words to describe a matter that was enough to make Cecily Freeze in shock.

“How Lucky Should I be?”

The change in the throne of the Frost Kingdom was enough to affect the situation of the world. Cecily never expected that the mastermind behind all of this was her younger brother.

“In short, this new king’s attitude toward the demons should not be as full of hatred as the previous frost royal family. Elder sister, please wait for a while more.”Joshua stared seriously into his sister’s eyes and said, “The hundred-year war between the demons and the Frost Kingdom will definitely end.”

Cecily had once participated in the war at the border fortress for a period of time, so she clearly understood that the hatred between the Frost Kingdom and the demon world was at the level of death. If Jose had said this to Cecily in the past.., cecily would only think that this naive younger brother was joking.

But now..

“It’s time for me to return to the royal city.”

Cecily did not give Jose a reply. She picked up the two contracts, pushed open the door of the tavern, and chose to leave.

Joshua watched his elder sister leave, then looked at the Dark Elf in front of him again.

“I have to go back to Nolan to pick up the originals of those movies. Before that, you can visit my sister.”Joshua knew what the Dark Elf was concerned about. “But I have developed a few new modules for my world. She probably doesn’t have time to talk to you now.”

“Her Highness Fuya must have not slept for a long time.”The only thing the Dark Elf was concerned about was the situation of the fourth princess. She did not refuse Joshua’s suggestion and flew out of the tavern in the form of a crow.

Joshua walked slowly to the outside of the tavern. He looked at the desolate scenery and the medal awarded by the Third King of Clarence.

“In the near future, this place should be very prosperous, right?”

Joshua looked at the teleportation gate that was emitting a faint light in the distance and said softly.

… ..

A week later, in Orson Castle in the south of the country of steel.

Minister Diaz sat on a machine called a magic car, and the car slowly drove into Orson Castle.

As soon as he entered Orson Castle, he couldn’t help but cover his mouth and nose with a handkerchief. His attendant did the same thing.

“Ambassador Diaz, are you still not used to the air in the steel country?”The driver of the magic car asked in a low voice.

“I was able to adapt to the steel country more than ten years ago, but now I feel a thick fog stuck in my throat,”Minister Diaz said with a slight frown.

“This thick fog is the pride of our country. Ambassador Diaz, it will take some time for you to get used to it as an outsider,”the coachman said.

Minister Diaz could hear the sarcasm in his words, but Minister Diaz was not in the mood to pursue it. He looked out of the window.

Even though this was an area provided for residents to live in, Minister Diaz could still see the magic waste that had turned into gas slowly rising into the sky from afar.

“What are they waiting for?”

Minister Diaz noticed that there was a long line of civilians lined up at the corner of the street.

“Holy Hilmke’s duel.”The Coachman uttered a line of awkward words, there was an unconcealable pride in his voice. “Our country holds a competition every three years. Even civilians can sign up to participate and prove their strength in the duel. The second half of this competition is held in this city. Many legendary knights can be seen in the arena.”

“The Gladiator competition is actually held at this time…”

Minister Diaz also knew that this was the competition that the entire steel country was passionate about. This was almost the most sacred tradition of the steel country.

Although Minister Diaz had never experienced this personally, from the long lines of commoners on the streets, one could already guess how fanatical the citizens of the steel country were.

It could be said that Minister Diaz had chosen the worst time to come to the country of steel, but he was still confident.

“Stop here and inform your lord castellan that I will immediately pay him a visit.”

Under Minister Diaz’s orders, the magic car slowly stopped by the roadside. He brought his attendant and directly pushed the door open and got out of the car. Then, they slowly came to a building that was almost turned into ruins.

“Let’s go. It seems that we still have a lot of work to do.”

Minister Diaz was very glad that he had spent a lot of money to buy this land back then. Otherwise, this building that had been abandoned for many years would have been completely demolished.

He led his attendants into the theater. When Minister Diaz opened the door, there were already three heavily armored knights waiting for a long time.
