Five Hundred and Seventieth Chapters Continue to Make Big News (4000)
Prince Kaos followed behind his mother with the feeling of going to a battlefield where death was inevitable.
But the moment Queen Yecana turned around, the tall figure of General Fred appeared in the embassy of the Kingdom of Steel.
"My servant told me that you came to visit the embassy in person." General Fred hurriedly came to Queen Yekana and bowed.
"Magic net?"
Queen Yekana didn't think letters were so efficient. The attendants in the embassy could inform General Fred of this information so quickly, it must be through the text messages in the magic net.
"General Fred, please sit inside and talk about it first. I have many things to ask you." Queen Yekana showed due courtesy to the old general. She was like a member of the embassy. The host also invited General Fred to the reception room of the embassy.
Prince Kaos followed the two with mixed emotions. It was not good news for Prince Kaos that he did not need to go to the Hearthstone Tavern. The return of General Fred only brought forward his execution time.
"His Royal Highness Yekana, is there any problem with you looking for me so hastily?"
General Fred sat on the chair and looked at the queen who was sitting opposite, and Prince Kaos whose face was a little pale.
"I heard from the attendant at the embassy that...you are going out this time to go to a tavern to sign up for a certain game? I am a little curious, what kind of game will attract you to participate." Queen Yekana asked.
"Your Majesty has given me a task, which is to obtain as many leaves as possible from the World Tree." General Fred replied to the queen without changing his expression, "The owner of the leaves happens to be a man named Hearthstone Tavern. Master, he held a competition, and if he wins, he will get a crystal of the World Tree."
"The crystallization of the World Tree as a bet? The scale of this game must be quite large."
Queen Yekana is a powerful spellcaster. She has no absolute power in the Iron Country. She cannot climb to this position by relying on her appearance and luck alone.
She is proficient in magic and alchemy, of course she understands that the crystallization of the World Tree is... how precious alchemy material is.
In addition to the effect of the crystal link magic net, just using it to refine medicine alone can cure any disease and terminal illness.
This competition with crystallization as a reward... is estimated to attract the participation of all Nolan's spellcasters.
"Your Highness Yekana, you are thinking too much. The scale of this competition is very small. There are only forty participants at most, representing six countries." General Fred said.
"Six countries? Will the Congress of Frost participate?" Queen Yekana asked suddenly.
"The representatives of the Frost Country are those old foxes from the Karshilov family."
General Fred instantly understood what Queen Yekana was referring to, and when he said this sentence, there was also Ling Ran's murderous intent in his voice.
"Very good, the match starts tomorrow, right?" Queen Yecana's question was affirmed by General Fred, "That one will stay here for one more day, and General Fred, my servant revealed to me …During the time Kaos was in Nolan, he was a little lazy?"
Comes the final execution.
Prince Kaos sat up straight, ready to choose death.
"Indeed, but that was six months ago. Kaos often travels to and from the Rursk Academy of Magic, but recently, in order to welcome the arrival of the sage's trial, he stretched himself like a long sword."
General Fred's words made Prince Kaos' eyes widen in disbelief, but the expression on the general's face remained unchanged.
Queen Yekana glanced back and forth at them and suddenly stood up from her seat.
"But this is not the reason for his defeat. I will consider finding a new mentor to supervise you."
After Queen Yekana left these words, she bid farewell to General Fred and left the reception room.
Prince Kaos heaved a long sigh of relief as he watched his mother leave. The feeling of escaping death was really too exciting.
"Do you know the reason for your defeat?" General Fred asked.
"The biggest reason is that my mana reserves are far inferior to Sofina's... Her affinity for the element of thunder is far beyond my expectations." Prince Kaos said.
"The rest is to think about winning next time." General Fred also stood up and prepared to leave the reception room.
"Wait a minute, general...have you chosen your contestant yet?" Prince Kaos said.
"You want to fight?" General Fred saw through Prince Kaos' mind.
"I don't know...but please give me a substitute qualification." Prince Kaos still doesn't have the courage to play the magic net game in front of his mother.
But he wants to defeat the Karshilov family, no matter in any field, as long as he wins a game.
"It is said that the little girl from Karshilov will also play. I will give you a substitute position. It is up to you to decide whether you want to go to the battlefield." General Fred left immediately after finishing speaking.

Nolan, Black Dove Press Association.
Qiao Xiu came here directly after returning from the Sage's Tower. The reason was that the dark elves wanted to do a'cleaning' of their organization.
The building on Squirrel Street has been transformed into a busy 'administrative hall' from its previous mess.
Just sitting at the desk and busying myself. Apart from humans, there are also a group of goblins and orcs. Occasionally, some rarer races can be seen, such as... lizardmen.
"I told you not to submit any more manuscripts about the fights! Nolan's spellcasters are not interested in orc fights!"
"There was another fire in the alchemy studio of the man in red yesterday, can you write about it!"
"Yes! Why can't... have you taken a photo? Take it and see."
"Boss, this is the third time that an accident in the alchemy workshop of the man in red has been reported."
"There's nothing the spell caster can do if he likes to watch it! Just change the fire to an explosion."
Joshua stood in the middle of the hall and watched the goblins and orcs running around the hall with a pile of white paper, and there were busy scenes everywhere.
Most of the orcs and goblins here have already put on glasses, with a gentle look.
Although Qiao Xiu is the boss behind the scenes, this setting makes Qiao Xiu feel very unsuitable.
"Your cleaning is over?" Joshua glanced at the dark elves who came out of the 'President's' office, and a group of 'unemployed' who left with their belongings.
There were five people in total, including two orcs and three humans, judging from their clothes, they should belong to the upper echelons here.
"Desire always makes some guys want things they shouldn't have."
The dark elf glared at the group of people, their original expressions of indignation were instantly replaced by panic, and then ran away from here.
"Aren't you afraid of their revenge?"
Joshua looked at the five, he didn't look like a good person just from an orc with a scar on his face.
"Have you forgotten what I did before?" The dark elf wiped his neck at Joshua, hinting at the consequences of Joshua's restlessness.
"My boss is a cold-blooded killer, this kind of setting can be used to write..."
Because Ciri was resting in the Hearthstone Tavern, only Joshua could resist the banner of complaining.
"Let's stop chatting for now. I'm very interested in the newspaper idea that Joshua you mentioned earlier." The Dark Elf got straight to the point.
"Do you want to try newspapers after you taste the thrill of writing magazines? That thing is more troublesome than you imagined."
Joshua always felt that with the daytime news of Nolan TV, things like newspapers seemed a bit useless, but this was not the case in the eyes of the dark elves.
"The Kelia Chamber of Commerce can sell us all the printing workshops on the other side of the River of Cogs, relying on those workshops should be able to support the manufacture of newspapers." The Dark Elf said this and glanced at Qiao Xiu cautiously, "The premise is that you are willing to spend money. Buy them."
It was the first time that the Dark Elf felt anxious in front of Qiao Xiu. In the past, she always asked Qiao Xiu with the idea of "let it go", but this time she really wanted to buy those printing workshops.
But the price of a workshop is no joke. If it were replaced by the old black pigeon, even if the dark elves were sold, they wouldn't be able to afford it.
"Do you think money will be my thing?"
Qiao Xiu, as Nolan's most powerful householder, is a veritable proof of the saying that 'problems that can be solved with money are not problems. '
The dark elf was obviously slightly taken aback by Joshua's answer, and soon she laughed a little self-deprecatingly.
"I still underestimate you, Your Highness."
"But the problem is that just because I invest in you doesn't mean you can spend recklessly." Joshua said to the Dark Elf in a serious tone, "Once you start to make newspapers and magazines, I will never allow you to stop, and newspapers The interval between publications is much shorter than that of magazines, I don’t ask you to do a daily newspaper, but you need to publish one every three days at least, which is a huge workload.”
"It seems that you have underestimated me too, Your Highness." The dark elf lifted the hair around his ears with his hands, and showed Qiao Xiu the elves' unique pointed ears, and the long ears trembled slightly. .
"As long as I exist in this world, the Black Dove Press Association will continue."
"Longevity species? I'm a little envious."
It was only then that Qiao Xiu remembered that the elves' lifespan was terribly long.
"I'll take care of it at the printing factory. Do I need to specify the layout and format of the newspaper?" Qiao Xiu said.
"Of course, Gagamo! Hurry up with that pen and canvas!" The dark elf immediately sent a goblin to fetch tools for Joshua.
When Qiao Xiu proposed the concept of the magazine before, he also gave the dark elves the layout of the original magazine prototype.
Qiao Xiu wrote down a rough layout of a part of the newspaper on a blank piece of paper, as well as the choice of layout.
"In short, this thing is a consumable, the kind that is thrown away after use. Although the magic printing press in the country of steel was invented not long ago, there are similar newspapers in that country. You can ask them what they use. Material."
After Joshua gave some of his own opinions, he asked the Dark Elf again.
"So when will the first issue of the Black Pigeon News Agency be released?"
"Tomorrow." The Dark Elf gave Joshua a very positive answer.
………………
Embassy of the Iron Nation.
Today Prince Kaos woke up from dreams and nightmares.
The dream was that he defeated Sofina, the apprentice of the man in yellow, and the nightmare was that he found out that he had defeated the opponent with the "Holy Spirit", and was dragged directly to the guillotine by the enraged queen after being found out by Queen Yekana.
That was a weird dream!
"Mother……"
Prince Kaos put on his own clothes and stood at the gate of the embassy with General Fred. Queen Yekanna walked out of the embassy with her attendants.
Today, Queen Yekana will go to the Hearthstone Tavern to watch the game in person.
Prince Kaos followed Queen Yekana to the side of the magic car. Just as Prince Kaos opened the door of the magic car, a shout suddenly came from across the street.
"Big news! The strongest spellcaster in the Sage Trial was born! Kaos, the chief apprentice of the Burning Mage Tower, defeated Sofina of the Thundering Mage Tower three times!"
At this moment, Prince Kaos' hand touching the car door was already stiff, but the expression on Queen Yekana's face beside her was normal.
Prince Kaos immediately raised his head and looked across the road, only to find that it was a young man whose clothes were incompatible with those of the people in the bustling area of Nolan.
Queen Yekana's attendants came directly across the road, stopped the young man who was walking towards the end of the street, and brought her to the queen.
"What are you holding?" Queen Yekana looked at the young man with a slightly frightened expression with a smile on her face.
"Yes...it's the newspaper sir." He summoned up his courage and said, "The new publication of the Black Dove News Agency, you can use this to learn about the major events that happened to Nolan in recent days! It only costs three copper coins!"
Queen Yekana glanced at the attendants beside her, and he took out a silver coin and handed it to the young man.
"Give me a copy, and you don't have to look for the extra money."
"Thank you, you will have good luck." After thanking the queen, he handed a newspaper to him and ran away immediately.
Queen Yekana also got into the magic car directly, and Prince Kaos naturally followed in the back seat.
The queen unfolded the newspaper directly on the magic car. At this moment, Prince Kaos could clearly see a line of black typing on the cover of the newspaper. The content was probably that he had lost to Sofina of the Tower of Thunder.
Not to mention his mother, Prince Kaos himself was so angry that his breath became a little short of breath, and now the whole Nolan may know what happened in the sage trial yesterday!
But his good self-cultivation allowed him to control his emotions.
The atmosphere in the magic car was terrifying, and the surrounding air was so viscous that Prince Kaos could not bear it. Although Queen Yekana's expression was normal, the atmosphere was enough to show that she was not in a happy mood.
