Chapter 697: you have no time to rest
“After the selection of the participants, are you going to Nolan again?”
After discussing the spy issue with Joshua, Cecily suddenly asked when Joshua was about to leave.
“The frosty plains outside the border fortress is the battlefield of my elder brother, Noggs. Your battlefield is in the Demon World’s Imperial City, and as for me…”
Jose knew that this might be the most vulnerable period for Cecily. The death of her father was unacceptable to any of her children.
“Is it in Nolan?”
Cecily knew that it was willful and unreasonable to ask Jose to stay at this time.
The purple-clothed people in the distance had finished checking Cecily’s summer homework, but they did not come over to disturb Jose and Cecily’s conversation.
There was also an extremely short silence between Josh and Cecily.
“Then elder sister, I will first…”
Just as Josh was about to say something, Cecily took the initiative to interrupt him.
“How long have you been dating that human girl?”
When Cecily asked this question, she did not lower her voice. Hiri and the purple-clad man could hear it clearly.
This question immediately aroused Cecily’s vigilance. She seemed to be preparing to walk over and answer the question for Josh.
“Two years.”
Josh told Cecily the answer she wanted directly.
The atmosphere between the two of them became tense in just a few seconds. Cecily had never been very supportive of Josh finding a human girl to be his partner.
However, this had nothing to do with Josh. He could follow most of the decisions of his eldest sister and push her to the position of ruler of the demonic world.
However, there were some things that could not be changed even if Cecily objected to it. Among them, the relationship between Josh and Cecily was the most determined one.
Cecily’s face had always been cold in the face of Josh’s answer. The muscles on Josh’s face were also tense.
“Have you thought about the wedding?”Cecily suddenly asked.
This was a straight ball that was so fast that no one could avoid it. Not only did it shatter the silent atmosphere, but it also stunned Joshua for a short while.
“I have thought about it. Maybe… It will be two months later.”
Joshua’s voice was a little stiff. Although Joshua had accumulated a lot of experience over the past two years, he had seen all kinds of storms and waves.
However, when it came to marriage, Jose could not deny that he was a pure newbie on earth and in this world.
“Is that so? When the time comes, remember to send someone to inform me in advance.”
This time, Cecily did not give Jose any room to answer. She directly pushed open the door beside her and walked in.
When the door was closed, Jose took a long breath, feeling a little exhausted.
“Get… Married? Is… is this ring really a wedding ring?”
Healy rushed to Josh’s side. She was even more flustered than Josh.
“This… this… shouldn’t be counted. It’s just for your protection.”
Josh had given Healy a ring that was immune to spiritual attacks. This was to prevent the purple-clothed person from affecting Healy’s spirit. However, it seemed that this ring had never been used.
“I’ll buy another one as… a wedding ring.”
Joshua answered this question very seriously. During the conversation, Joshua’s voice became extremely low. In the end, both of them could only turn their heads away with blushing faces.
The purple-clad man at the side looked at Joshua and Hiri. The expression on his face was filled with the envy of being young.
..
When Joshua entered the hall again, he realized that the atmosphere was a little strange. The members of the ‘quasi-devil World National Team’who were sitting at the Round Table were all silent. The atmosphere in the hall was so stiff that it was hard to breathe.
“What… happened?”
Joshua asked everyone present. Cecily had just entered the hall and did not understand the situation. The Grand Duke of fresh blood was the first to stand up as a bystander.
“Your Highness, did the Knights under the Empress of the steel nation really not use some kind of method to cheat in this game?”The Grand Duke of fresh blood asked.
“Cheat?”
Josh went directly to the back of a vampire player. Looking at the magic net interface in front of him, the scarlet word “Defeat”on the magic net interface was particularly glaring.
Defeat was not the most shameful thing. What was shameful was the comparison of the number of kills between the two sides… the cast iron player had taken down 37 kills in this round, while the demon side had 11 kills.
This ratio could be described as a complete defeat.
Jose could imagine that these fledgling blood clan players had been beaten to the point where they doubted their lives.
As for the skeleton duke… Although Jose could not see her current expression, it was rare to see the Duke being silent.
“It’s impossible to cheat in this game. Even if the Queen has a world tree, it’s impossible.”
There was only one person in the world who could analyze the language of the magic net that was close to Joshua’s level, and that was the gray-clothed person.
Nolan had not attended her ‘programming class’for two months. It was entirely the gray-clothed person who was there to conduct research with other spellcasters.
It was impossible for the Queen to cheat on the magic net, but there was cheating on the ‘body reaction’in this world… it could not be called cheating.
There was a fundamental difference in the speed of reaction between the nerves and consciousness of a powerful knight and a weak commoner.
“The reason why you were defeated so miserably was purely because other people treated playing the Holy Spirit as their own profession, or rather, their lives.”
Joshua did not have much contact with the queen, but judging from the way Dorothy and the bloody Queen addressed her.
The national team that she had built was 99% “Win or Die”.
The five members that Josh had just recruited were far from being comparable to the cast iron fighters in terms of experience and training.
“Say something discouraging.”Josh looked at the vampires who had suffered a huge blow to their confidence and said, “I didn’t expect you to win the championship, but other countries also train their players to this extent. If the demon world were to be defeated miserably in the first round…”
Joshua looked at the Grand Duke of fresh blood. The blood kinsmen under him were the main contestants. In terms of punishment, the Grand Duke of fresh blood’s words were even more intimidating.
“I won’t say the punishment of defeat at this time. You have won the championship, and I will fulfill each of your wishes.”The Grand Duke of Fresh Blood’s answer was far more courageous than Joshua had imagined.
“Joshua, is there really no better warrior in the Demon World?”
The Skeleton Duke finally spoke. She questioned Jose in a loud voice, her voice filled with anger.
It seemed that the cast iron people not only defeated them, but also humiliated them.
“They are really the best… No, the best in the demon world,”Jose said.
“Leave the command of this army to me.”The soul fire of the skeleton duke seemed to want to burn the vampires sitting around him. “From now on, you don’t have time to rest for a month!”
