“Demon…”

General Rockmond recovered from his brief moment of shock. He instinctively searched for his weapon to engage the Sin Demon.
At this moment, Klund III’s voice forcibly calmed down the panicking cabinet officials.
“Visitor from the Demon Realm, Joshua Annerlaude, welcome. Are you the director behind ‘Beauty and the Demon,’ ‘Leon: The Demon,’ and ‘Hachiko: A Dog’s Tale?’”
Klund III was sizing up the young man standing beside Zenarth. He had thought that Joshua would be someone of Master Morgan’s age. To his surprise, Joshua was extremely young.
“Correct.”
Although Joshua was not the screenwriter for the three movies, he was indeed their director.
After taking a glance at the officials panicking from Zenarth’s existence, Klund III deliberately stated, “The movies produced by you are all extremely outstanding and… interesting. My officials and I never imagined for a talented individual like you to be from the Demon Realm.”
“That’s because humans have never attempted to understand us. Most humans only know us by the nonsensical slanders present on the canons distributed by the Nation of the Holy Church,” said Joshua.
“What a coincidence, I am also not fond of the lies presented by those missionaries,” said Klund III with a loud voice. It was as if he was expressing his standpoint to all the ministers present.
For the King of Farucci to openly declare his hatred for the Nation of the Holy Church, he will most definitely cause some adverse effect on the diplomacy between the two nations.
However, the King of Farucci was not someone who would always make rational actions. The Nation of the Holy Church had killed his close friend the Grand Duke of Blackwood and wantonly conducted a carnage on the territory of Farucci. For Klund III, his open criticism toward that cruel country’s behavior was already him containing himself.
If it was his father Klund II, he would’ve openly curse out the hypocritical missionaries in the Parliamentary Chamber. And if it was his grandfather, he might even declare war upon the Nation of the Holy Church.
By comparison, Klund III was a much more rational individual.
“So, Third Price of the Demon Realm, Joshua, did you come to visit Farucci today to correct humanity’s impression of the Demon Realm and the demons?” asked Klund III.
“That’s something that I’ve been doing the entire time since arriving in the human world; whether it be the three movies Your Majesty is fond of or my cooperation with Madam Schroder. As for my purpose in coming here today, I’d say I came here more as a merchant trying to market his goods than as an envoy of the Demon Realm.”
Joshua lightly clapped his hands. Standing behind him, Zenarth raised Joshua’s suitcase and, with his sharp claws, slowly undone the leather buttons on the suitcase.
Once Zenarth opened the suitcase, the ministers and generals once again entered a state of alert. They seemed to be expecting that the demon might take out some sort of extremely dangerous explosive.
“Merchant? Interesting! I am very curious what sort of goods Third Prince Joshua wishes to sell me. Is it another outstanding screenplay, the method to make movies or could it be some sort of local speciality from the Demon Realm?”
Klund III was staring at the suitcase. He had already heard about all the things the brilliant demon did in Norland from Master Morgan and Madam Schroder.
That said, the things mentioned by Master Morgan and Madam Schroder were simply too unimaginable!
“There are two things I wish to sell. The first is an all-new method of communication. As for the second, it’s an all-new method to experience performances.”
Joshua spoke of two very vague concepts. Even Joshua felt that it would be very difficult to explain things with words.
As such, he decided to use the most direct and forceful method. Zenarth took out two originium crystals from the suitcase.
One of the two originium crystals was much smaller than Zenarth’s paw pads. As for the second one, it was roughly the size of Zenarth’s paw pads. Inside it was a leaf of the World Tree.
“Bring it forward, allow me to have a look,” ordered Klund III. Hearing that, a servant started to shake like a leaf as he slowly walked toward Zenarth. He was about to pick up the two originium crystals from Zenarth’s hand.
Seeing that scene, General Rockmond was unable to contain himself. He objected, “Your Majesty! Please allow me to examine the two originum crystals to see if they’re dangerous before presenting them to you!”
General Rockmond has been on guard against the two demons the entire time. He was someone who had bitter encounters against the demon army on the battlefield.
As such, he knew very well how frightening it was to have demons as enemies.
“Bring the larger originum crystal to Master Fedori to appraise. As for the smaller one, General Rockmond, I’ll present it to you.”
Klund III made a decision that confused the ministers present.
Klund III’s gaze turned to Joshua, “Prince Joshua, that all-new method of communication you spoke of, it must be the magic network, right?”
As Klund III said those words, he waved his hand and a semi-transparent interface appeared before his eyes. It was the interface for the magic network.
“Mn, that’s correct.”
Joshua was not surprised by Klund III having access to the magic network. What surprised him was that this dignified king was actually very interested in ‘Super Mario.’
With his eyesight as a Chaos Demon, Joshua could clearly see the ‘Super Mario’ window that was still open on Klund III’s interface. Apart from that was the window for the Mage Forum.
That being said, since Joshua had learned that the king of Farucci was actually a user of the magic network, he felt that the following discussion would be much less complicated.
“Your Majesty, how was your experience with the magic network?”
“Master Morgan was the one who presented it to me. I was told that it’s a new kind of magic created by the mages from Norland. I cannot describe how wonderful this magic is with words. It is something that drew the distance between individuals for the first time. I’ve never imagined communication to be this convenient and fast. Just by sitting here, I can interact with the mages from Norland. My only regret is that the communication time is so very brief.”
Klund III took a glance at the ash-colored signal bar on the lower right of his interface.
“Only by holding onto that thing called the leaf of the World Tree could one interact with the mages. Even for Master Morgan, he only has one leaf. It’s impossible for me to keep it by my side the entire time. Prince Joshua, I believe you are able to understand how painful it is to be suddenly deprived from the wondrous experience of communicating with the people of the entire world.”
As Klund spoke, he suddenly started to deliver a rant. If he could, Joshua would title his rant ‘I just brought a new computer but some fucker cut my ethernet wires!’

As Klund III continued ranting, he would glance at Elder Safran repeatedly. It seemed as if he was hinting something.
“Cough. I think the gift from the Blackwood Elves will be able to resolve that problem for you.”
Joshua felt that Klund III’s behavior was not hinting at all. He was clearly openly demanding it. After all, it was well known that the Blackwood Elves were protected by the World Tree.
“Oh great human king, I have come here to present to you and your officials our gratitude toward the shelter we’ve received from the Grand Duke of Blackwood.”
A tender green leaf appeared in Elder Safran’s hand. Seeing that, Klund III immediately ordered his servant to bring the leaf to him.
