<h4>Chapter 593: Chapter 589 strategic shift (4,000 words)</h4>

    Joshua still underestimated the ice dragon’s flying speed... which was not in line with the conventional biological speed.


    From Nn to the frosty country to the dark green basin at the border of the frosty country, the ice dragon only took three days toplete the journey that an ordinary person would take half a year toplete.


    “I give five stars to this tricycle.”


    When catariannded on the periphery of the dark green basin, Joshua gave his due assessment of the journey.


    “I’ve heard enough of your strange words.”


    Catarian shook his back, indicating for Joshua and Hiri to leave his back.


    Joshua jumped off the back of Catarian’s dragon andnded steadily on the grasnd of the basin.


    With the physical attributes of a chaos demon, Joshua could easily jump down from the back of a dragon that was almost four stories tall.


    Hiri used amon method used by spell casters of the order system, which was to use a magic barrier to build a temporary staircase and then walk down the dragon’s back step by step.


    “Where is the city of the Elves?”


    Hiri had justnded on the ground when his gaze swept left and right. Then, he raised his head to look at the sky.


    Because of the arrival of the Ice Dragon Catarian, all the magical beasts living in this basin had disappeared without a trace. The surroundings were so quiet that it was terrifying.


    Nothing could be seen floating in the sky. Previously, when Hiri sat on the ice dragon, he was still in high spirits to find the legendary city.


    But he could not see anything above the clouds.


    “Maybe there is some kind of invisible magic.”


    Josh took out the token of the world tree. The token had already reacted after entering the dark green basin.


    “I forgot how to use it.”Josh handed the token to Hiri. “Hiri, try to inject your magic power into it.”


    Hiri took the token and injected his magic power into it ording to Josh’s instructions.


    The light on the token became brighter. Josh put his hand on it and carefully injected the magic power of the Chaos Fiend into it.


    A pure white light beam appeared beside Josh.


    “This thing is... a portal?”


    Hiri found a stone on the ground and threw it into the light beam. The stone instantly disappeared into the light beam.


    “The receiving beam won’tst long.”


    Suddenly, a translucent white bird appeared on Hiri’s shoulder. This white bird was the consciousness of the High Elf World Tree.


    It tilted its head and nced at catarian who was behind Hiri.


    “Ladies First?”Jose made a gesture of invitation.


    “Teleportation, HMM... as expected, I still can’t adapt to this kind of magic.”


    However, Hiri actually showed some fear in the face of this light beam.


    This spellcaster was a woman who could fight a bear with her bare hands, but the sessive ‘teleportation’in the demon world had left Hiri with a psychological shadow.


    “Alright, hold my hand.”


    Joshua held Hiri’s somewhat cold hand and brought Hiri into the light pir.


    The sense of weightlessness swept over Joshua. After a short three seconds, Joshua opened his eyes again. The scenery in front of him had changed from a swamp to... a city that had be ruins.


    “Is this Arthur Crow?”


    Joshua looked around. The style of the surrounding buildings looked familiar to him. However, these buildings had be rotten ruins. Even the ground was covered in dust. It did not look like someone was living in them.


    This was a street that had been dead for a long time. The only thing left here was its ruins.


    Joshua looked up. There was a huge dome above him. The sunlight shone through the cracks in the dome, seemingly telling Joshua that this ce was not far from the ground.


    “Arthur Crow, isn’t this Nn’s underground ruins?”


    Hiri looked around. The architectural style here was almost exactly the same as Nn’s underground ruins.


    “So where are the people who wee us?”


    Joshua did not even see a wild high elf. Instead, he felt a powerful magic barrier outside this street.


    Just as Josh was looking for a weing party, Hiri, who had the instincts of a wild beast, suddenly sensed something.


    “Who is it?”


    Hiri raised his magic staff high, and the light of the illusionary runes surrounded it. In the next second, the ruins were illuminated by a strong light, and a dark figure hiding in the corner of the ruins slowly walked out.


    “It seems that you are not a weing party.”Josh looked at the person in front of him. The robe he was wearing was very simr to that of the Nn spell caster, but his appearance could not be seen clearly with the mask on his face, however, the emblem on the shoulder of the robe revealed his identity.


    The emblem that could only be found on the robe of the Nn Seven Sages.


    Joshua had heard that Nn currently only had five sages. The ck-clothed man and the blue-clothed man had not appeared in the Sage Council for a long time.


    Whether or not he was a ck-clothed man had nothing to do with Joshua. Joshua only wanted to know where the High Elves lived.


    “A human from Nn? and A... sphemer, why are you here!”


    His gaze under the mask swept across Joshua and Hiri. Finally, his gaze stopped on Joshua. His pupils contracted slightly.


    “What kind of strange name is sphemer? My name is Joshua Arnold. I’m a guest invited here by the consciousness of the World Tree.”Joshua introduced himself.


    “The holy tree would never ept...”


    Before he could finish his words, a white birdnded on Joshua’s shoulder. At that moment, he instantly shut his mouth and looked at Joshua as if he had seen a ghost.


    “Are you a local? If so, can you take me to the gathering ce of the High Elves? I have something to talk to them about.”


    Joshua tentativelymunicated with the man in ck. This time, Joshua was purely here for mobile WIFI. Of course, he was also willing to create a few high elf idols.


    “The ce you are at is the forgottennd. This means that you have been rejected by the Elder Council,”he said.


    “Rejected?”If Joshua remembered correctly, he should be considered a guest of the world tree.


    He used a more direct way to answer Joshua’s question. The silver inscription appeared in his hand, and a reflection appeared in front of Joshua’s eyes.


    “The council of elders will not allow the sphemers to enter this city again. It may be because they are protected by the holy tree that they did not choose to kill you.”The image he summoned was in the forest outside the ruins.


    Joshua could see a group of high elves waiting outside. Judging from their equipment, they did not look like they were here to wee Joshua as a guest.


    “We... seem to have be the bosses of the dungeon?”Hiri whispered to Joshua.


    “It seems that we have been treated as enemies. I thought that all the Elves were a group of cat ves...”Joshua did not expect that with the protection of the Holy Tree, these High Elves would not give him any face at all.


    “There’s a bird on your shoulder,”Hiri reminded Joshua again.


    ”...”


    “To the High Elves, the holy tree is only our symbiote.”


    The Man in ck nced at the white bird on Joshua’s shoulder and bowed slightly to it in a strange manner.


    “I don’t know why the Holy Tree invited you to Ascek, but please leave this city as soon as possible. Some elders will mercilessly execute any sphemer,”the man in ck advised Joshua.


    “Go Back? Are you saying that I’ve been stood up by the High Elves? or Am I being pointed at by a bunch of pigeons with bows?”


    Joshua did not expect the elves to have such a bad attitude.


    The Man in ck ignored Joshua’s words and went straight to the center of the street. In front of a building that looked like an altar, he reached out and brushed away the dust on one of the disks.


    “This is a teleportation portal built by your defilers. With your magic power, you should be able to build a portal to Nn,”he said.


    “Although I also want to leave this dusty ce as soon as possible, my answer is still that I refuse.”


    “If you force your way out of the forgottennd, the council of Elders will not let you go,”the man in ck warned Joshua.


    “Is this how you treat your guests? If you are hostile to each other... I would be happy to lead an army to drag Arthur Crow into the mes of war,”Joshua said with a smile.


    “What did you say?”


    This sentence clearly provoked the man in ck. He gripped his magic staff tightly. Silver runes appeared around his body, but in the next moment, Gray magic power suddenly swept through the area.


    His runes shattered like ss, and even he himself held his staff with both hands as if he was having difficulty breathing.


    “It’s been so many years... you guys are still so dangerous.”


    “I’m not too sure about the grudge between the High Elves and our race, but I was invited by your holy tree this time. It’s fine if you don’t bring some tea to entertain me, but you still want to stand me up.”


    Joshua’s hand was surrounded by chaotic magic power as he slowly walked towards him. After brushing past him, he injected his own magic power into the teleportation portal.


    The teleportation portal that had been abandoned for God knows how many years was activated again.


    “You’re saying that this ce can connect to Nn?”


    Joshua felt that this man in ck was very... not vignt, or rather, very kind?


    If he had such a teleportation portal in his house, Joshua would never tell anyone.


    He did not answer Joshua. Joshua used the Lord Skeleton’s inscription to summon an unconscious undead. This undead walked into the teleportation portal, and the next second, it walked out of the portal again.


    After the undead shattered into pieces, thest bit of its memory flooded into Joshua’s memory.


    There were three stunned dwarves around him. Joshua even saw Frost Axe among the three dwarves.


    So it was the teleportation portal to the Frost Axe Family?


    Joshua instantly turned off the teleportation portal... and fell into deep thought.


    “What exactly do you want to do?”The Man in ck seemed to be a little impatient as he asked Joshua in a low voice.


    “We can’t treat each other politely, so we can only exchange swords. In short, that’s what I mean... let me introduce myself again. I’m Joshua Arnold, the third Prince of the Demon World.”


    Joshua’s pitch-ck pupils stared intently at the blue eyes under the mask of the man in ck. The domineering aura that he borrowed from the bone lord spread out wantonly.


    “Perhaps I should lead an army here. That way, those high elves might be able to sit down and have a good talk with me.”


    When Joshua made this suggestion, a dangerous look appeared in the eyes of the man in ck.


    “I will stop you,”he said.


    When Josh was about to answer him, the white bird on his shoulder also knocked his head with its beak.


    “It hurts...”before Josh could scare it, the white bird knocked his head with its beak again.


    “Okay, okay, I’m just saying. I really don’t know anything about leading troops to war.”Josh covered the spot where the white bird knocked, indicating that he was just joking.


    “What?”


    On the contrary, Hiri showed a surprised expression. It seemed that the girl was ready to start a war.


    “If we really want to force our way in, we can at most force our way into the core position of the world tree. But looking at the situation outside, ‘infiltrating’is not very likely.”


    Jose did not think that forcing his way in would make the holy tree happy.


    “Let me give you a hint. Your Chaos Magic is useless against the elders,”the man in ck warned Jose again.


    He seemed to be trying his best to avoid the battle, but the words and actions that Joshua had said were too dangerous.


    “Can’t they be stopped from casting magic? That’s a bit tricky.”


    Joshua fell into deep thought as well.


    “Why don’t we just camp here for a while? We can use the portal to go back to Nn anyway,”Hiri suggested.


    “Stay here for a while?”


    Jose turned his head to look at the portal leading to Nn, and then turned back to look at the street that had been turned into ruins.


    “Hiri,e with me.”


    Jose walked quickly to a building on the street. Hiri followed behind Jose, and the man in ck followed him.


    The walls of these buildings were covered with all kinds of nts, but the interior of the buildings was surprisingly well-preserved. Only some ces had umted dust.


    “After so many years, there are still no signs of copse. The quality of these buildings is quite good.”Josh reached out his hand and brushed the dust on an unknown long table.


    The people living on this street left in a hurry. They didn’t take many things with them, but they seemed to have evacuated safely. Josh checked a few more buildings, but he didn’t find any human bones inside.


    “What are you nning?”The Man in ck couldn’t help but ask when he saw Joshua walking around like he was on an adventure.


    “Are you really Nn’s sage? It’s been a long time since I’ve seen someone as... straightforward as you. No, there’s a high elf named al who looks like you,”Joshua suddenly said.


    “Straightforward? ording to your human identity, I’m Nn’s ck-clothed person,”he said.


    “It really is the ck-clothed person who has been missing for three years.”Joshua was slightly surprised, then he turned around and suddenly stretched out his hand.


    He instantly took a step back with vignce. His magic power was still in the state of being confined by Joshua.


    “I am quite familiar with the other sages. I am really sorry for scaring you just now,”said Joshua.


    However, he did not ept this apology from Joshua. He continued to follow behind Joshua without saying a word.


    Finally, after Joshua finished browsing through all the abandoned buildings on the street, he spoke again.


    “If you’re hoping to find anything useful in the forgottennd, you’d better give up. There are only ruins left here.”


    “I’m not looking for relics, I’m looking at the storefront.”Joshua gestured at thergest building in front of him and said.


    “Storefront? !”


    “Let me introduce myself. I’m the owner of a tavern in Nn. I n to open a branch here.”


    At this moment, a smile that made him shiver appeared on Josh’s face.
