Chapter 407: , movie diplomacy

“The Cardinals have always stood at the highest level of the country of the sacred religion. My dear friend, don’t you think that this bishop is hiding something?”

Even if Jose came forward to dissuade him, Crondon III still had no intention of forgiving this cardinal.

The cardinal was so anxious that Zhang Zheng was about to say something when Jose slowly walked to his side.

“The court of heretics has been a mysterious organization of the church since ancient times. It is said that he is directly under the Pope and does not listen to the commands of any bishop. A bishop who is in a diplomatic position can not possibly know the details.”

“Just as this young man said, His Majesty, Crondo III.”

The appearance of Joshua calmed the red-robed bishop down a little. No matter what, he was still a person who had taken up the position of a diplomat. He began to try to find a way to escape unscathed from this Congress.

However, after careful consideration, he turned his head to look at the ‘kind young man’and suddenly realized that the information that the other party had revealed just now seemed to be a little too much.

“Then, my dear friend Joshua, do you have a method to identify the judges?”

This was also the reason why Crondon III invited Joshua to the Congress.

“The knowledge of the judges in this world is really too little. Only a few dusty books found in the oldest library can find bits and pieces of information related to the judges, let alone a method to identify them.”

‘Joe… Joshua?’?

The red-robed cardinal immediately felt that the name was very familiar, until he had heard a teacher of his mention ‘a chaos demon named Joshua is wreaking havoc in the human world. That chaos demon is extremely dangerous. When you meet it, don’t be rash and stay away from that demon. Inform the Sacred Army of its specific location and the sacred army will punish it.’

His mentor did not specifically describe the atrocities that the demon committed, but the prefix chaos alone was enough to allow the cardinal to escape.

One had to know that the chaos demons were existences that were superior to the terrifying sin demons. They were the rulers of the demon world.

Therefore, when the cardinal learned that the ‘kind young man’beside him might be a chaos demon, he instantly distanced himself from the other party.

As expected, the people of this country had gone mad! They actually openly allowed a chaos demon to step into the main hall of the parliament that was filled with nobles!

Not only did he step into the main hall, but the relationship between this chaos demon and the king seemed to be very good.

Even if the army of the sacred cult came, they probably would not be able to punish this demon!

“Your Majesty, there is a library on the magic web that has a book that contains detailed information about the judges. I once recommended it to Madam Caesar, so I will also recommend it to you here.”

Jose glanced sideways at the bishop. Although he was looking at Jose with a determined expression, judging from the way he held his cane, he was not calm at the moment.

“The Magic Web? I have been focusing on listening to the story that Lady Tyreen told on the voice of Nolan. The follow-up to ‘The Merchant of Venice’is really wonderful… ‘appearances are often completely different from the things themselves. People are easily deceived by superficial decorations.’”

Crondo III seemed to be completely immersed in his impromptu performance.

“Ahem… I’m willing to share information with His Majesty the King, including some ways to distinguish the judges, but your majesty, I think it’s better to let this parliament end first,”said Jose.

Crondo III quickly understood what Jose meant. He put down the thin sword in his hand and announced the end of this parliament to everyone, then looked at the cardinal standing in the middle of the main hall.

“What do you think we should do with this cardinal?”Crondon III asked.

“Your Majesty, this demon must be lying.”The cardinal forced himself to calm down, he began his final rebuttal. “I once saw a powerful illusion caster in the country of steel. The illusion he created can be disguised as the real one! “This demon must have used the illusion to present those images in the ‘painting’just now.”

“I did guess a part of it, but it’s useless. Your Majesty, you can get someone to drag him away,”said Jose.

Crondo III very cooperatively waved his hand to let the three knights who were sitting in the throne come out. The cardinal realized that it was useless to rely on words to explain.

“May the Holy Light Show His Majesty the Truth.”He gritted his teeth and did not wait for the three knights to come up and drag him away. He turned around and left under the ‘escort’of the three knights.

Because of the bishop’s departure, the curtain had officially fallen on the parliament.

..

After the parliament ended, Joshua learned from an attendant that the location of the meeting arranged by Crodo III was actually the demon world.

With no other choice, Joshua could only use the teleportation portal of Zenas to return to the demon world again.

When Joshua returned to the set, a warship made of steel was hovering in the middle of the set.

There was no wind pressure from the steel warship hovering on the ground. Although there were many fine details on the warship, Joshua soon guessed that it was an illusion.

Joshua walked to the creator of the warship, Hiri.

At this time, Hiri’s body was overflowing with a large number of pale purple inscriptions. There was also some sweat on her fair forehead. It seemed that it was not easy for her to control the warship.

The battleship had not circled for long. Just as it was about to draw its weapon, the illusion suddenly became extremely blurry and gradually disappeared.

“If I were your teacher, I would let you create something small first.”

Jose used his hand to wipe away the sweat on the spellcaster’s forehead and said.

“Who told you that your design drawings are full of this kind of magical machinery…”Hili took a deep breath and threw a piece of drawing paper to Jose.

The warship on the paper was an original part that Joshua had drawn on a whim when he was drawing the avatar design.

Originally, Joshua had only sketched out the line draft very simply, but after Hiri found out about it, the line draft had also been colored.

“I asked her to start from the basic animals, such as wolves and bears, but she insisted on starting from these,”the purple-clothed man came to Joshua and Hiri with his staff and said.

“If you believe in Hiri’s talent, it shouldn’t be a problem for her to start from a high difficulty level… isn’t the details of the magic-conducting machine created by the illusion very good?”Joshua said as he returned the painting to Hiri.

“I don’t want the illusion magic to become her toy,”the purple-robed man said what was troubling him.

Illusion Magic was supposed to be a great skill. Although this apprentice of hers had outstanding talent, she was very stubborn and only learned some illusions of things that she liked.

Hiri did not pay attention to the tutor’s lecture. Purple runes flowed out of her fingertips again, and a huge magic guide doll slowly climbed up from the ground.

“Hiri, you need to create things in reality before you start…”before the purple-clothed man could finish his words, a shocked voice came from the other side of the teleportation gate.

“It’s really unbelievable. Oh My God, is this a magic guide machine from the ruins of the demon world? !”

“Who is that nervous-looking person?”Hiri asked Josh in a low voice while controlling the illusion.

“Well, you met him last time. He is the king of Faroese, Coronado III,”answered Josh.

    Okay, I will make that correction. Here is the revised text with "Magic Web" changed to "Magic Net":

    “The Cardinals have always stood at the highest level of Aetherion. My dear friend, don’t you think this bishop is hiding something?”

    Even though Joshua came forward to dissuade him, Klund III still had no intention of forgiving the cardinal.

    The cardinal, becoming increasingly anxious, was about to speak when Joshua slowly walked to his side.

    “The Heretical Tribunal has been a mysterious organization within Aetherion since ancient times. It is said they are directly under the Pope and do not heed the commands of any bishop. A bishop in a diplomatic position could not possibly know their details.”

    “Just as this young man said, Your Majesty, Klund III.”

    Joshua’s appearance calmed the red-robed bishop slightly. As a seasoned diplomat, he began searching for a way to extricate himself from the situation.

    However, after careful consideration, he glanced at the ‘kind young man’ and realized the information Joshua had just revealed seemed unusually comprehensive.

    “Then, my dear friend Joshua, do you have a method to identify the inquisitors?”

    This was precisely why Klund III had invited Joshua to the parliament.

    “The knowledge of the Heresy Inquisitors in this world is scarce. Only a few dusty books in the oldest libraries contain fragments of information, let alone a method to identify them.”

    ‘Joe… Joshua?’

    The red-robed cardinal immediately recognized the name, recalling a teacher’s warning: ‘A chaos demon named Joshua is wreaking havoc in the human world. That chaos demon is extremely dangerous. If you encounter him, do not be rash and stay away. Inform the Sacred Army of his location, and they will punish him.’

    His mentor hadn't detailed the demon’s atrocities, but the prefix ‘chaos’ was enough to instill fear. Chaos demons were superior to the terrifying sin demons, the rulers of the demon world.

    Therefore, when the cardinal realized the ‘kind young man’ beside him might be a chaos demon, he instantly distanced himself.

    ‘These people have gone mad! They openly allow a chaos demon into the parliament hall, filled with nobles! Not only that, but the king seems to be on friendly terms with him. Even if the Aetherion army arrived, they likely couldn't punish this demon!’

    “Your Majesty, there’s a library on the Magic Net containing detailed information about the Heresy Inquisition. I recommended it to Madam Schroder, and I recommend it to you now.”

    Joshua glanced sideways at the bishop. Despite his determined expression, the cardinal’s trembling cane betrayed his unease.

    “The Magic Net? I’ve been engrossed in Lady Tylene’s narration of Nolan’s stories. The continuation of ‘The Merchant of Venice’ is wonderful… ‘appearances are often completely different from the things themselves. People are easily deceived by superficial decorations.’”

    Klund III seemed lost in his own reverie.

    “Ahem… I’m willing to share information with Your Majesty, including ways to identify the Inquisition, but I suggest we conclude this parliament first,” Joshua said.

    Klund III understood. He put down the thin sword and announced the parliament’s end, then turned to the cardinal.

    “What should we do with this cardinal?” Klund III asked.

    “Your Majesty, this demon must be lying,” the cardinal said, forcing himself to remain calm. “I once saw a powerful illusion caster in the Steel Country. His illusions can mimic reality perfectly! This demon must have used illusions to create those images in the ‘painting’!”

    “I anticipated that, but it’s irrelevant. Your Majesty, have him removed,” Joshua said.

    Klund III waved, and three knights approached. Realizing words were futile, the cardinal turned and left under their ‘escort.’

    With the cardinal’s departure, the parliament concluded.



    Afterward, Joshua learned from an attendant that Klund III had arranged their meeting in the demon world.

    Left with no choice, Joshua used Zenarth’s teleportation portal to return to the demon realm.

    Upon his return to the set, a steel gunship hovered in the middle of the area.

    Despite its intricate details, Joshua recognized it as an illusion, as it produced no wind pressure.

    Joshua approached Ciri, the creator of the illusion.

    Her body was covered in pale purple runes, and sweat beaded on her forehead, indicating the difficulty of controlling the gunship.

    The giant gunship had barely moved. Just as it was about to deploy its weapons, the illusion flickered and vanished.

    “If I were your teacher, I’d have you start with something smaller,” Joshua said, wiping the sweat from her forehead. “Why do your designs always involve such complex magical machinery?”

    Ciri sighed and tossed him a drawing.

    The giant gunship depicted was based on a whimsical sketch Joshua had made for an avatar design. Ciri had added color to the simple line draft.

    “I asked her to start with basic animals, like wolves and bears, but she insisted on these,” the Purple Sage said, joining Joshua and Ciri.

    “If you trust Ciri’s talent, she can handle advanced projects. And the illusion’s details are quite impressive, aren’t they?” Joshua said, returning the drawing to Ciri.

    “I don’t want illusion magic to become a mere toy for her,” the Purple Sage said, concerned.

    Illusion magic was a powerful skill, but Ciri, despite her talent, only used it to create illusions of things she liked.

    Ciri ignored her tutor and began generating purple runes again, conjuring a large magical automaton from the ground.

    “Ciri, you need to practice creating real objects before…” The Purple Sage was interrupted by a shocked voice from the teleportation gate.

    “Unbelievable! Is that a magical automaton from the demon world’s ruins?!”

    “Who’s that nervous-looking person?” Ciri asked Joshua, controlling the illusion.

    “You met him last time. It’s Klund III, the king of Farucci,” Joshua replied.
