Chapter 45: The Devil?
"You're back, Lord Josh."
"Yes Arnold, long time no see."
"Your Excellency was last gone five days ago, and it wasn't that long."
"Is that so, thank you Arnold."
After a few small talks with Arnold, Josh left the somewhat cramped pavilion with a group of elves and an unusually tall Bion.
With all of Middle-earth's goals already achieved, Josh took the elven students and Bion directly with him and chose to return to his Rivendell.
I have to say that when your strength is exaggerated to the point that everyone is shocked, everything you need to do will seem extremely easy.
For example, when Josh asks Sorin for his well-deserved payment, and Thranduil asks for the white gem that is so important to him.
Of course, there is also Thorne's credit for this, when the dwarven father and son saw each other, they immediately hugged each other and cried, no one laughed at them, after all, they have been separated from each other for more than a hundred years, this feeling is not something that anyone can bear, especially Thorne has gone through so many hardships.
With Thorne's relationship, everything is much simpler, and Thorin still listens to Thorne very much. Even though Thorin seemed a little reluctant, he still honestly helped Thranduil find the white gem and return it to him.
Thranduil was very satisfied and happy, but he also knew that it was all due to Josh.
If Josh hadn't saved Thorin several times and helped him recapture the Lonely Mountain, as well as helped him save his father, I'm afraid he would have had to find a way to forcibly reclaim what belonged to him.
Compared to his reluctance to return the Thranduil Gem, Thorin was jealous when he paid Josh enough. He led Josh directly to the palace full of gold and jewels, and then pointed to an area.
"The gold in this area is all yours."
“......”
Thorin's generosity directly stunned Josh and the others, how much gold and jewelry is this?
Although it is definitely not as rich as the Assassin World, the Assassin World is a collection of almost all the wealth of Europe, and this is just the wealth of a dwarven kingdom!
Although Josh was a little stunned, he was not pretentious. Directly used his other talent recorded in his eyes, a dimensional space similar to Kamui, to stuff all this gold into it.
As for Dr. Wu, who was originally staying inside, he had already been thrown back to the Jurassic world by Joshian, and he needed to be matched to clone.
Josh's harvest can be described as full of money, which makes him very satisfied.
As for Thorne's ignorance of Thorin's opposition and his desire to continue to maintain an alliance with the elves, Josh was a little hesitant, and after thinking about it, Josh directly explained the power structure of the newly formed elven empire to Thorne.
"Therefore, if you want to continue to maintain an alliance with the Elven Empire, you should not look for me, nor one of the three speakers, but let the three of them start a council to discuss together, and then decide through the votes of which councilors."
"I see... Then your power ....."
"I don't need power because I'm going to get out of here soon, and of course I'll be back."
After figuring this out, Josh didn't bother with it that much. Anyway, if you don't get involved in these things in the first place, why bother making trouble for yourself? Thranduil and Elon and Galadriel had a headache, and he didn't have time to be bored here.
After a few days of returning to the river valley with Thranduil and his party, Josh decided to leave after a brief exchange with Elon and the others.
Of course, there were a few more people who left Josh this time - a total of three hundred and fifty young elves left with Josh.
These elves had gone to Josh to learn, and they had done a very good job of preparing and knowing what to say and what not to say.
And they also have a lot of respect for Josh, it can be said that they are elven warriors carefully selected by the three Speakers of Elon.
As for how to repair the environment and beautify the city on Josh's side, the task was naturally entrusted to them. The elves are already good at this, especially since they have learned the relevant knowledge before leaving, so there is no problem in handing it over to them.
As for how to bring them to Josh's territory, Josh could only use a more painful method - first leave them on the periphery of the territory and let Galen take them, and then Josh himself sneaked back to his castle to do the work of reception.
Acting, although Josh doesn't seem to have any waves, he is still a little nervous, and it is more like a large number of elves actually choose to enter your territory and become your people, this kind of thing is not unheard of in the mainland.
However, the elves' sense of belonging is almost the strongest in the Muya continent, and the elves who choose a country to settle are a minority, like Josh, where more than 300 elves appear at once, although it is not a big deal, but after all, it is also more concerning.
If Josh doesn't do a good job of receiving them like this, then even if Josh doesn't have any trouble, it's enough to make the other elves feel that Josh doesn't welcome them here.
If a group of people come to settle in you, even if your lord doesn't show up, your men should come too, right? And then arrange some places to live, right?
But in contrast, the elves were more nervous, they knew that they had come to a different world.
They need to learn about the world to enrich themselves, and they can't be discovered by others that they are not creatures of this world in the first place.
God knows what kind of thoughts the people of the Muya Continent have for foreign creatures, and His Majesty Josh reminded them of this, so they also took it seriously to heart. But when it comes to all this, they're much more nervous than Josh.
Soon after, Frank arrives in Josh's room. Frank was also a little surprised that his lord came back so quickly, but he wouldn't ask such a foolish question, and honestly stood in front of Josh and waited for Josh to speak.
"Frank, are they here, my brother? And those song and dance troupes or something, did they come? ”
"Your lord, your brother hasn't arrived here yet. However, there are several song and dance troupes, including the Tulip Song and Dance Troupe, but I haven't been in contact with them yet. ”
"Well, leave them alone for now. By the way, you should notify Steve later and tell them that the reward is ready to be claimed. But before I can do that, I need you to take the troops to meet a team. ”
Frank's face was a little surprised, with troops? And then greet a team?
To be honest, if it's not that Josh doesn't like the people who come, it's these people who come that Josh values it more. So Frank needs to figure out which one it is.
"My lord, it's coming.... Who? ”
"Well, more than a hundred elves, right?"
Josh shrugged his shoulders as if he didn't see Frank's surprised eyes and continued, "You don't need to be polite, keep the demeanor you deserve." From now on, they may be our inhabitants, so we will know what to do. Oh, Galen followed them, you know what to do, right? ”
"More than a hundred elves?" Frank swallowed but nodded, "I see, I'll take care of it." ”
"That's okay, it's strange why that Jonas hasn't come over yet, my students have arrived, and this teacher hasn't come yet, it's really a headache."
Frank looked at Josh with a wry smile and didn't leave the room until Josh motioned for him to go down.
To be honest, Frank was really confused by Josh, one moment he was a student in the academy, and the other time he was a tribal elf, this prince can really make trouble.
However, it is a very good thing that the elves appear in this territory, the social status of the elves is still very high in the Muya Continent, and the cities that the elves are willing to live in are definitely some very suitable places to live or very good, and the appearance of elves in Rivendell does not mean that the development of this city is getting better and better?
After Frank left, Josh wasn't idle.
Pull out the scepter he got from Alexios - it seems more appropriate to call it a orb now. Josh hadn't extracted life force from it before, because Stephen and they had gone on a tour somewhere else.
Although Josh doesn't know why these directors like to travel more, it's a personal hobby, and Josh won't say anything, it's all in his territory, and it hasn't been completely touristed, just play and watch it.
But what Josh didn't expect was that Josh waited for them for seven days and didn't see them appear, so Josh left this world directly and planned to wait for him to come back, and now is just right.
Josh is also not a person who likes to slow off time, and it is of course better to solve it sooner if it is solved earlier.
"Anyway, it's just to import life force, and then use magic to stabilize their physical mechanisms. God knows if their bodies are aging, and they are still the kind of people who are obviously not as physically fit as Arixios, and I hope there is nothing wrong with them. ”
Casually incorporating the magic power, Josh pulled out a wisp of golden life force from the ball, this golden life force is very tempting, but unfortunately this thing has no use for Josh.
Shaking his head, Josh waved his hand and directly dispersed these vitality that could make ordinary people crazy.
Anyway, once you master this thing, you can basically trade it in any other world.
This is many times better than the previous self using mysterious power to attract people, and the effect is unknown! Who wouldn't want to live a little longer, but Josh suddenly felt like something like that?
"If I make a contract and then tempt someone to sign something with me, then I'm not the legendary devil?"
Shaking his head fiercely, although Josh was indeed regarded as a demon by those guardians in the mummy world, it didn't mean that Josh really wanted to be treated like this.
Well, if it really had to, I'm afraid Josh wouldn't mind a cameo or something.
"Of course, it's just a cameo!"
