Hearthstone Tavern.
“Joshua, if my deduction is correct, the murderer of the chapter on the study of the scarlet letter should be a coachman in a carriage!”
Tyreen transformed into a detective at Joshua’s desk and made a prediction about the plot behind ‘Sherlock Holmes’.
Unfortunately, this detective lady didn’t have any imposing manner when she was deducing.
“I’ve already written the last part of the Scarlet Letter Research.”Jose placed the remaining part on the desk, tyreen instantly revealed an expression like a little girl who was looking forward to the candy. “As for the final murderer, do you need me to give you a spoiler?”
“Please don’t!”
Tyreen carefully took the remaining part on the desk, and then a primary crystal that was condensed with the aura of life appeared in her palm.
“This is the crystal that the holy tree condensed this month. It should cover twice as much area as before. The holy tree also told me that the next crystal will take some time.”
“It can only spit out one fur ball every other month. It’s already incredible as a cat.”
Jose tried to figure out the crystal in his hand.
“Then, Jose... I’ll finish reading the last part first.”
“Yes, I won’t let you down.”
Joshua watched as the Frost Elf left his study, leaving Joshua alone in the study.
In order to welcome the upcoming sage trial, Hiri had already gone to the Mage Tower to study with the purple-robed man.
“So who should I give this crystal to?”
Joshua opened a stack of letters from the drawer. These letters were engraved with complex marks, which were the family crest of the nobles from all over the world.
Ever since Joshua officially revealed his identity and the existence of the magic net in the Crystal Palace.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe first to make a deal with Joshua and decided to introduce the magic net was the country of steel.
The content of the deal was what Joshua and Prince Kaos talked about in less than three minutes.
The content of the deal was that Joshua provided a hundred leaves of the world tree, and the country of steel offered money in exchange.
The nobles from other countries who visited the Crystal Palace also more or less paid for a few leaves of the world tree and the client of the magic web. This was just a tentative attempt by them.
In the end, they still underestimated the convenience and fun of the information age, or rather... the toxicity.
This also led to more and more requests for the leaves of the World tree written to Josh recently.
In order to prevent his cat from being plucked bald, Joshua only provided twenty leaves a day.
The leaves of the world tree were an extremely rare alchemical material. In addition to the value given by the magic net... This also caused the price of the leaves of the world tree to rise all over the world.
“Mr. Joshua!”
There was a knock on the door outside the study. From the sound, it could be deduced that it was the ‘Butler’of the Hearthstone Tavern, Lady Marina.
“Come in.”
Jose continued to organize the letters in his hands. He could not understand a single one of the noble family emblems on these letters, nor did he have the intention to open the letters and read the contents carefully.
“A lot of people came to the tavern today. They all want to talk to you about business.”There was a hint of fatigue on Lady Marina’s aged face. “And the situation is a little out of control.”
For the past half a month, it was Lady Marina and Sir White Thorn who had been helping Josh deal with the issue of selling the leaves of the world tree.
“I asked them to come.”Josh tried to figure out the smooth holy tree crystal in his hand. “Yesterday, I asked the gray-clothed people to reply to the letters uniformly. It seems that they are very interested in the holy tree crystal.”
“Mr. Josh, at present, the people who are visiting the Hearthstone Tavern are all nobles from various countries. Some of them are visiting in person. If they all want the goods in your hands, I suggest that we hold an auction.”
Lady Marina recalled the situation in the tavern just now. If the nobles sitting there did not have Jose’s protection, Lady Marina would be in great trouble if she angered anyone,
“Auction? This kind of money transaction is meaningless. Besides, I don’t want money.”
Jose tidied his clothes in front of the mirror and then pushed open the door of the study room.
“So you plan to...”
“I plan to use this opportunity to build a new career system, or... A Way to gain honor? In short, please help me pack up the letters on my desk and throw them away.”
After saying that, Josh closed the door of the study.
The atmosphere on the first floor of the Hearthstone Tavern was still the same as usual. With the presence of dwarves, those nobles wouldn’t do anything rash.
When Joshua came to the first floor of the Hearthstone Tavern, he instantly felt that many people’s gazes were focused on him.
“Joshua Arnold, I’ve finally met you today.”
The first person who walked up to greet Joshua was the general of the country of steel, Fred, whom he had met once.
He was the current ambassador of the country of steel to Nolan. He had once participated in the premiere of ‘this demon is not too cold’together with Prince Kaos.
“Recently, I have been busy with the updates of the weave, so I haven’t had much time to show my face.”
Joshua held the general’s hand. The feeling was like holding a piece of steel. The calluses on the general’s palm were terrifyingly thick.
“I received the letter you wrote yesterday. is what you wrote true?”General Fred asked.
“Hasn’t your king already seen the existence of the crystal? It’s in Orson Castle in the country of steel.”
Jose had been worried that the king of the country of steel would forcibly commandeer the holy tree crystal of the Internet cafe in Orson Castle, but judging from Dorothy’s chat in the movie club, the king was quite restrained, or rather... he was confident that he could get the same holy tree crystal.
“I’m sorry to interrupt you.”
While General Fred was thinking about how much to pay for the crystal, a man with gray hair and gray eyes suddenly intervened in the conversation between Joshua and General Fred.
His long and narrow eyes looked like a fox.
“Greetings to you, Joshua Arnold, the great new king of the country of Frost.”As soon as he came up, he directly stated his identity. “I’m from Karlshilov, one of the eight great families of the country of frost. I’m also the head of the LORAFUT Chamber of Commerce.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Don’t you old foxes know the most basic of manners?”
The expression on general Fred’s face became very terrifying.
“Are you stingy people waiting for those ridiculous chips?”
The man’s long narrow eyes stared at General Fred without any fear.
The atmosphere became very tense at this moment. Joshua could vaguely sense that their relationship did not seem to be very good.
With the start of the conversation between these two, the rest of the conversation became chaotic. The representatives of the various countries directly came to look for Joshua and offered their own chips, saying that they would definitely satisfy Joshua.
For a time, the entire Hearthstone Tavern became a small-scale auction, with dwarves coming in from time to time to jeer.
“Mr. Joshua... Should we invite them back first?”
Lady Marina watched the atmosphere in the tavern gradually warm up. If this continued, it was very likely that she would offend everyone present at once.
“There’s no need. Let them fight if they want to.”Jose clapped his hands hard. “Gentlemen, and those ladies who are sitting in the corner! I’m sorry to tell you that no matter how much you argue, there’s only one holy tree crystal written in my letter.”
Joshua took out the Holy Tree Crystal, and in an instant, the aura of vitality spread throughout the entire tavern.
Even if the crystal did not have the function of connecting to the magic net, it was still a kind of treasure in itself.
“I know that you are willing to spend a lot of money to buy this thing, but I am not very interested in money,”said Joshua.
“Do you mean that you want to use other things in exchange?”The fox-like man asked.
“This... is a good idea, but I don’t have anything I want for the time being.”
After thinking for a short while, Josh shook his head slightly.
“Just tell me how to get the crystal.”General Fred didn’t have much patience.
“The way to get it is very simple, that is to fight... or a competition.”Josh’s eyes swept over everyone present. “I will hold a small competition, and the winner will get this crystal... for free.”
Jose waved the holy tree crystal in his hand as if he was holding a trophy that represented honor.
