Noggs had been delayed for a while due to motion sickness, but in the end, he found three horses, brought his attendants, and rushed to the Embassy of the Kingdom of Frost in the center of Nolan.
When Noggs pushed open the door of the embassy’s meeting hall, the entire meeting hall fell into a strange silence.
There were several generals from the fortress in the meeting hall. They could be said to be Nogsy’s old rivals… They could also be described as enemies.
Nogsy’s gaze swept over the generals. He also recognized the opponents he had fought on the battlefield.
Jose immediately stood up from his seat and went directly to the two long tables in the center of the meeting hall.
!!Shier also stood up from his seat and walked to the other side of the long table step by step.
A general with a robust physique followed behind shier. From the message he had just exchanged with shier, Joshua could tell that this general was Marshal Amut, Shier’s most trusted person.
“Brother.”
Joshua had never participated in the war between the demon world and the frost country, nor had he personally experienced that cruel battlefield.
Therefore, Joshua’s identity in this peace conference was only a ‘bridge for both sides to communicate’.
“The ruler of the Frost Kingdom, Shiel?”
Noggs glanced at the nobles who were sitting behind Shiel. Some of them were looking at him with hatred in their eyes. However, when Noggs looked at the new king.., her gaze did not change.
“I am the 72nd ruler of the Frost Kingdom, Shier Leonid. I greet you… Prince of the Devil World, Noggs Yanorod,”shier said.
“My Brother told me that you want to end the war in the Frost Plains?”Noggs pressed his hands on the long table in front of him and stared at the young king.
“We have already written the contract to stop the war on this sheepskin scroll.”
Marshal ARMT beside Shiel handed a thick and heavy sheepskin scroll to a servant. The servant took the scroll and came to Noggs and handed it to him with both hands.
Noggs opened the sheepskin scroll in front of everyone. The scroll was very long. When Noggs picked it up, the lower half of the scroll fell onto the long table.
In an era where paper had been invented for God knows how many years, the people of the frost kingdom still insisted on using the scroll to write important contracts.
“I can see your sincerity, the new king of the Frost Kingdom.”Noggs spent more than ten minutes carefully reading every clause, he closed the scroll again and said, “But you have been trying to cover up your mistakes from the beginning to the end. You were the ones who started this war in the first place.”
Norgus’words caused an uproar among the nobles of the frost country. After signalling to shier, Marshal ARMT took up the position of the King’s spokesperson.
“Sir Norgus,”Marshal ARMT said in an extremely solemn tone, “It was the demons who tore apart the space at the border of the Frost Plains and then sent people to attack our soldiers on the Plains! “We have shown enough sincerity by compromising with the invaders.”
“My father has never…”
Joshua silently observed the confrontation between the two sides. Although Joshua’s ability to judge people was not good, judging from the performance of Norgus and Marshal Amut.
They were all telling the truth, and neither side seemed to be lying.
Then, Joshua recalled the frequent activities of the Heretic Court of justice in the Frost Plains. In addition, there was the presence of the Holy Cult Army in the First Crusade against the demon world, as well as… What Gloria said.
“Well…”just as Joshua was about to step forward and intervene in their conversation, the spell caster who had been following behind Noggs spoke first.
“Everyone.”
The spell caster came to the center of the long table and used a calm voice to stop the confrontation between the two parties.
He took off his hood to reveal his old appearance.
All eyes in the meeting hall were focused on the old man. Joshua noticed that his cheeks were filled with various inscriptions. These inscriptions existed on the old man’s cheeks in the form of tattoos, and they were spreading all the way down to his body.
“Sage Githorio!”
Suddenly, an elderly noble from the kingdom of Frost recognized this spellcaster.
“Githorio… the blue-clothed man?”
Recently, Joshua had been very close to the sages of the Sage Council. In addition, the purple-clothed man was quite concerned about the blue-clothed man who had been absent from the SAGE Council all year round. Therefore, Joshua heard the name of the sage.
“I didn’t expect that someone would still remember me after I left Nolan for so many years.”A gratified look appeared on his face.
“Teacher, how could I dare to forget you?”
The noble, who looked even older than the blue-robed man, said in a respectful tone.
“Blue-robed man, what do you want to say?”
Joshua wanted to tell both sides what he knew, so that it might ease the tension in the meeting.
However, this sage was the first to step out and snatch away the opportunity for Joshua to speak.
“You must be Joshua Arnold, the demon who brought miracles to the world. Walking on Nolan’s street, I feel as if I’ve come to another world. Although I really want to ask you about the changes in Nolan, but now, can everyone listen to me on one thing?”
The Man in blue looked at Noggs and Marshal Amuth respectively.
“Please.”Marshal Amuth knew that there was no point in continuing to argue with Noggs.
Meanwhile, Noggs crossed his arms and tacitly accepted the intervention of the man in blue.
“Many years ago, I discovered some anomalies in the underground ruins of Nolan, as well as books that recorded the arrival of the gray fog and the end of the world.”
The blue-clothed man took out a strange crystal and placed it on the table. Jose recognized this crystal… its dark gray color was exactly the same as the glass ball held by the elder of the Heretic Court in the space of consciousness!
“I left Nolan with the black-clothed man and investigated the origins of the gray fog in the ruins around the world. In the end, I learned that they came from a terrifying creature, or rather… a god, and the heretic court in the country of the sacred religion believes in this god.”
“But what does this have to do with the invasion of the demon world by the Frost Kingdom?”Noggs interrupted his long speech.
“The Heretic Court of Justice tried to let their God descend on this world. One of the conditions to descend is the soul of life, a large number of souls of life!”
The Man in blue raised the thumb-sized crystal. If one looked carefully, there seemed to be a wailing soul inside the crystal.
“How many… are there?”Joshua was almost certain that the wailing souls inside came from there.
“Sacrificing the lives of all the citizens of a city might not be enough,”the blue-clothed man gave a terrifying answer.
“The battlefield.”
Shier’s cold voice penetrated into the hearts of everyone present at this moment.
“The hundreds of years of war between the frost country and the demon world, as well as the death of the Sacred Army of the sacred religion in the sacred religion country… in the history of the frost country, there were cities where citizens were massacred by demons.”Shier spoke out the painful history of this war one by one.
“Massacred? The demon soldiers have never taken a single step into your country!”
Hearing this, Noggs instantly understood something.
“The war in the Frost Plains was just a conspiracy from the beginning to the end,”the blue-clothed man said in a low voice, “The soldiers who died on the battlefield… their souls will be imprisoned by those cultists and become this thing.”
The blue-clothed man showed the crystal in his hand to everyone present.
