Chapter 255

“The citizens of Norland are able to accept demons?”

After hearing the astonishing feat Joshua did in the half year he’s in Norland, Cecily asked the thing she was most concerned with.

A group of mages helped a demon drive out the inquisitors from the Nation of the Holy Church? That was something Cecily cannot possibly imagine before.

But, it seemed like Joshua managed to accomplish such a feat.

“A great majority of them accept demons. While that might be the case, Sin Demons will very likely be welcomed in Norland.”

‘Face blindness’ was a thing that existed in every race. Like how it was difficult for Joshua to distinguish between two dwarves with the same color and length bread or two goblins of similar size, humans were unable to distinguish between Sin Demons.

After the screening of ‘Beauty and the Demon,’ the fans of the movie might consider all Sin Demons to be graceful and gentle giant cat princes.

“Sin Demons... are welcomed in Norland?”

What Joshua encountered in Norland was already shocking enough. But, what Joshua just told her was simply something inconceivable!

The Sin Demons were not a friendly-looking race of demons. They were completely different from the Chaos Demon who possessed human-like appearances.

“Eh... there’s a lot of particularities that I would have to explain. It’s impossible for me to explain all of this through text messages. Big sister, if you’re free, come check out Norland. I will present to you a whole new Norland to demons.”

Reading that reply from Joshua, Cecily suddenly pulled back her fingers from the virtual keyboard. It was like she felt an electric shock.

She was actually hesitating. She didn’t know how to reply to Joshua.

There existed many names for the City of Norland. ‘The Capital of Magic.”The Embodiment of Human Civilization.”The Most Flourishing City in the World.’

Cecily had yearned to obtain Norland too. After all, Norland’s arcanotech devices and technologies were enough to fascinate any nation. Should one gain those technologies, the development of one’s country will increase by many folds.

For the Demon Realm, their knowledge of the arcanotech devices could be said to be extremely lacking. In the entire Demon Realm, the only people that possessed knowledge about arcanotech devices were her subordinate who had the appearance of a young girl, the Prophet, and her younger brother Joshua.

If the current Norland... was truly as her brother stated and was willing to admit demons...

Cecily’s fingers tapped on the virtual keyboard again. She began to type out a new message.

“I must manage the Royal Capital. I cannot leave the Demon Realm. That said, Joshua, I plan to dispatch a group of missionaries...” Right after sending that message, Cecily immediately started typing out another message.

“Are you capable of having them learn human magic in Norland? Especially the ones related to those arcanotech devices?”

After sending that message, the always calm Cecily felt her heartbeat accelerating. She was actually feeling nervous... Perhaps, from this moment on, the fate of the Demon Realm could be transformed.

Still feeling nervous, Cecily waited for a long time for Joshua’s reply.

Sure enough... was it too difficult of a request to teach demons such high-level magic utilization like arcanotech devices...?

After a minute passed, a new message finally popped up on Cecily’s messenger.

“There shouldn’t be an issue. I was invited to give lectures at an advanced magic academy. The headmaster of that magic academy is my friend. I believe that he should be willing to accept them as new students. As for the technology for arcanotech devices, I can ask the dwarves and gnomes. However, please do not have too high of an expectation. They might only be willing to teach stuff for civilian uses... That said, if big sister needs things for military usage, I should be able to help you obtain some too.”

Cecily took some time to finish reading the long message. After reading it, there was only one thing in her mind.

‘Exactly how vast of a connection my younger brother has in Norland?! The headmaster of an advanced magic academy? Dwarves? Gnomes?’

He had only been in Norland for a short half year! His friends had managed to reach all levels of Norland’s society?!

“Big sister, do you have any difficulties in the Demon Realm? If so, I will do my best to provide aid.”

Reading Joshua’s next message, Cecily felt like her trouble-maker younger brother had finally grown up. He had grown to become a reliable man.

Sure enough, there was a thorny issue at hand that she needed to solve. As she knew of her responsibility as a member of the Demon Realm’s royalty, she did not hesitate and informed Joshua of the issue.

“The Demon Realm’s Royal Capital is currently suffering from a crisis of famine. All the fields and gardens outside the capital have been afflicted with some unknown corrosion that caused plants to wither. The reserves of the Royal Capital’s granaries are insufficient and will not be able to provide for much longer... Joshua, are you able to get in touch with human merchants to purchase foodstuff from them? I will pay for all the cost.”

This was one of the few ways Cecily thought of solving this thorny issue. Unfortunately, there were extremely few merchants that would be willing to engage in business with demons. Even if they could find such merchants, they would be shady ones and the goods they sell would be over a hundred times more expensive than market rate.

Cecily needed to purchase a vast quantity of food from the human world. Even though she possessed enough funds to do so, it was extremely difficult for her to find suppliers.

“Famine... crops withering... that might be caused by the Nation of the Holy Church’s Heresy Tribunal.”

“I’ve also considered the possibility of the Heresy Tribunal’s infiltration. But, the crops have withered into dust... I cannot think of a way for poisons to accomplish such a thing.”

“It might be something else other than poison. The screams and howlings from Banshees are fatal to the inquisitors. Big sister, you can use that method to search for the inquisitors that has infiltrated into the Royal Capital.”

“You don’t have to worry about that. Joshua... I wish to know if you know any human merchants.”

Cecily had her own way of managing the Royal Capital. Unfortunately, it would be impossible for the sentinels to solve the issue with the famine on their own.

“I am capable of finding channels to purchase foodstuff in bulk. As for the funds, I will pay for them... After all, money is something that should be used,” Joshua declared words of wisdom.

That said, the premise of being able to use money was having sufficient amounts of money. Cecily’s younger brother was not only well-connected in Norland, he’s also extremely rich...

Now, Cecily was able to understand why her younger brother was unwilling to return to this impoverished and backwards Demon Realm.

“Joshua, I will handle the funds. The Demon Realm is your backing, not your burden. If you are to encounter any problems in Norland, you can always return to the Demon Realm,” replied Cecily.

“Understood.”

Reading that message, Cecily knew that their brief conversation had ended. But, after a moment of hesitation, she typed out a new question.

“Where in Norland are you staying at right now?”

From Joshua’s replies, Cecily was able to tell that he was living a good life in Norland. Nevertheless, Cecily was still worried as she was unable to see it for herself.

This time, Joshua’s reply was much more direct. Cecily received a ‘photo.’ It was a photo of Joshua’s dinner. The Demon Realm’s third prince was seated before a table. On the table was a bowl of steaming and delicious-looking mushroom soup. While the room was somewhat messy, it was emitting a warm light.

Even though Joshua had left the Demon Realm for half a year, Cecily could not see any change to him at all. It would appear that Joshua’s life in Norland was not difficult at all.

At this moment, Cecily heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, she noticed that, on the corner of the picture was a girl enjoying dinner together with Joshua...

Seeing her, Cecily’s brows narrowed and throbbed a couple times.

“Joshua, who is that human girl seated beside you?” After hesitating over and over again, Cecily finally sent the message.
