Bringing Culture to a Different World

Chapter 385: the strongest summoned beast



The skeleton duke’s slender bone fingers rapidly tapped on the keys of the piano. In front of her was a thick set of music score, which recorded the piano music that Jose wrote for her.

Behind the skeleton duke, instruments such as the violin and cello floated in the air.

Since Joshua gave the skeleton Duke a new score every once in a while, the once quiet castle became lively again.

Especially the ghosts who had their own consciousness. It was their daily job to patrol around the castle.

Now, they had to join the skeleton Duke’s orchestra almost every day. Even if these ghosts were a group of boorish people who did not know music when they were alive, they had become master players after so many years.

The rhythm of the music played by the skeleton duke today was extremely fast. Not long after the skeleton Duke entered the third chapter of the music, one of the ghosts in the accompaniment orchestra made a mistake.

The Skeleton Duke, who was playing, keenly felt the discordant noise in the orchestra.

The sound that reverberated throughout the entire castle came to an abrupt halt.

At this moment, the more than twenty ghosts who were playing in the hall tensed up. All of them showed their true appearance from their transparent state.

If they still had their physical bodies, their clothes would have been soaked in cold sweat.

The Skeleton Duke turned his head to look at the group of spirits, and the dancing soul fire slowly locked onto one of them.

More than twenty spirits spread out, and the spirit that was targeted by the skeleton duke was instantly exposed to the terrifying lich Lord’s sight.

This spirit was a middle-aged noble with a round body. His face was already filled with emotions called ‘fear’, and he began to rejoice that he didn’t need to breathe so much trouble after he died!

“You still have three days to practice this song.”

Duke skeleton suddenly stood up from the piano, and after leaving this sentence, he walked out of the door without saying a word.

Only a group of ghosts in the concert hall wiped their non-existent sweat.

“I survived? !”The plump aristocrat ghost asked his companions in disbelief.

“Shut up Fokke! You’ve been dead for hundreds of years!”Another thin ghost said.

“I know Fokke, but the ghost who made a mistake two years ago was fed to the dogs by the skeleton duke. I don’t want to become Xiao Cha’s food.”

“Charlie doesn’t eat fat. Have you forgotten, Fokke?”

The ghost named Warlow weakly reminded his forgetful companion. He looked in the direction where the Duke of Bones had left.

“But after the third prince came to visit the duke, the Duke really changed a lot.”

“It was the music score given to the duke by the third prince that changed the Duke, right?”Fokke picked up the violin in his hand and played a tune. “These music scores are classics that can be passed down from generation to generation.”

“Stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and practice. This ‘moonlight sonata’is much more difficult than before.”

“Is it as difficult as ‘Ghost Fire’written by that composer named Liszt?”

After the skeleton Duke left, the ghosts began to discuss. Among all the ghosts, the youngest and shortest one, who was called the butler by all the ghosts, sighed softly.

In the past, even if the skeleton Duke left the concert hall, the ghosts would not dare to talk recklessly here. But now, the skeleton duke was indeed much more ‘gentle’than before.

The Butler did not know whether this change was good or bad, but at least since the third prince sent the piano music to the castle, the skeleton Duke had recovered his sense of touch through the music.

This was something that any undead could only dream about.

The Butler passed through the main door of the concert hall and saw the skeleton duke standing at the entrance of the castle.

“Those humans have come to the demon world. I’ll go and greet them,”the skeleton Duke said. “I’ll leave the matters in the castle to you for the time being.”

“Yes, sir.”After the butler nodded, the skeleton Duke turned into a black shadow and disappeared at the main door.

..

The worst situation that Mrs. Caesar had expected had finally happened.

It was the demons who held extreme hatred towards humans and opposed the appearance of humans in the demon world.

Mrs. Caesar did not think that all demons were like Jose, who was willing to accept everything in the human world and could easily integrate into the human world.

The war between the humans and the demons had lasted for thousands of years, even if the war and hatred could be further attributed to the country of the sacred religion.

There were also many demons among the demons who had an unforgivable hatred for the humans.

This was just like in the eyes of the army of the sacred religion in the country of the sacred religion, all the demons were evil existences.

The existence of the humans, whether good or bad, were almost all regarded as enemies by them.

“Jose, do you know how many demons have been killed by humans?”

Noggs… when Mrs. Caesar eavesdropped, she learned that the black-haired young man sitting in front of Jose was actually the first Prince of the Chaos Demon Royal Family.

“I know, but in order to prevent more meaningless sacrifices from happening in the future, peace is the best solution.”

Joshua did not have the time to tell Noggs his plans and ideas.

The accumulated hatred over the years made Noggs unable to easily accept Joshua’s ideas.

“There is no choice for peace.”

The glass in Noggs’hand suddenly shattered into pieces, which shocked the surrounding actresses.

Joshua could hear the anger in Noggs’tone.

The first Prince Noggs was not a noble general. It was indeed his duty to protect the border of the demon world from human invasion, but what drove him to do so was not the glorious honor of ‘protecting the country’.

It was just pure hatred. The human had killed his comrades and his mentor, so Noggs could not forgive those guys for everything they had done.

Hatred supported Noggs to start a war with the humans.

Joshua did not plan to use his ‘eloquence’to convince his elder brother to put down the butcher’s knife. After all, under such circumstances, the success rate of convincing him was basically zero.

Now, Joshua only wanted to shift one wave of hatred, and that was to shift Noggs’hatred to the mastermind behind the scenes, the judge, and not all the humans.

“Come back to the Imperial City with me now, Joshua.”Noggs’body was already overflowing with gray magic power. At the same time, a crack in space and time had appeared behind Noggs. This crack led to the imperial city, at the same time, it could also lead to the border fortress.

Joshua realized that he was still a little too impatient. His elder brother’s anger had increased greatly after seeing the humans. Joshua had to let him calm down first.

“Unfortunately, brother, I refuse.”Joshua shook his head and softly rejected his brother.

However, even if he refused, Joshua was not a match for his brother. Even the second princess was not a match for Noggs.

Therefore, under such circumstances, Joshua could only summon a substitute to attack.

Noggs walked up to him and before he could finish his words, a black torrent of magic power suddenly spread out behind Joshua, the aura of death and suffocating pressure wrapped around Noggs.

Two lively soul flames burned in the torrent of magic power, and the skeleton Duke slowly appeared behind Joshua.
