The World Exposition finally came to an end with the performance of the Black Swan Theatre.
Representatives from various countries have more or less obtained the magic mechanical technology they hoped for.
The world seems to have bid farewell to the ancient Middle Ages, and opened the door to the industrial age with magic.
And Qiao Xiu's plan is to let Nolan enter the so-called information age, but if the server problem cannot be solved one day, the information age will never come.
The black cat that Joshua met in the Falosi mansion was one of the only carriers that could become a server at this stage.
Joshua was not in a hurry. As long as the filming of "The Devil Is Not Too Cold" officially started, Joshua would see the elf guard every day after the flower of Pharossi became the heroine.
On the second day after the end of the World Exposition, Joshua had already returned to the Hearthstone Tavern.
"Mrs. Marina, at this stage, I hope you can buy the two nearby shops and expand the tavern."
Joshua browsed the bills sorted out by Marina, and all the recent income and expenditures of Hearthstone Tavern were clearly recorded on it.
"I'm already working on an acquisition and have now convinced the owner of the adjacent grocery store that another jewelry store might be a little tricky, but I think I'll work it out."
Marina can be sure that Hearthstone Tavern is the most successful business she's ever had.
The dwarves' drinking capacity is like a buffalo. Every night, more than a dozen barrels of expensive rye wine are drank all at once by these dwarves.
Since this tavern does not have a basement to store drinks at all, Marina has to go to the drinks supplier to buy goods almost every three days.
But what really makes money is the card pack of Hearthstone. Every day, the gold coins that the dwarves use to open the card pack can pile up into a hill.
And as the game Hearthstone is getting more and more attention from spellcasters, the interior of the tavern has begun to look a little crowded.
"The opening of branches can also be put on the agenda."
Qiao Xiu doesn't know much about business, so he can only entrust it to this businesswoman. Qiao Xiu only needs to master the core technology of "Hearthstone" and then lie in the money pile and count the money silently.
After Joshua briefly arranged the recent development of Hearthstone Tavern, an owl flew into the room on the second floor from the window again, and then slowly landed on the table.
The owl was wearing a letter, the seal of which was the old black wood that Joshua was familiar with.
This is a handwritten letter from Mrs. Caesar.
Qiao Xiu opened the letter and glanced at it quickly. The general content of the whole letter is probably "The Black Swan Theatre has been completely idle. When will the new movie start shooting? Where is the location?"
The duchess' handwriting was scribbled and appeared to be a little anxious when writing the letter.
She only came to Nolan for tourism, and did not plan to stay here for a long time. She may hope to personally supervise the process of Joshua's filming before leaving.
Beauty and the Devil has been in theaters for nearly a month and a half, and after a while, Nolan audiences may get tired of this movie, and it's time for Joshua to inject new blood into the White Thorns Theater.
"Mrs. Marina, do you know where there are more chaotic or dirty streets and hotels around here?"
Joshua folded the envelope and put it away, and did not rush to reply to Mrs. Nishizawa, because Joshua had not found the filming location of "This Devil Is Not Too Cold".
“Dirty streets…”
Marina thought for a while, Nolan, a city that represents the highest level of human civilization, is really difficult to find a place that can be called dirty.
But in fact Nolan does have such a place.
"I think the place you're looking for, Mr. Joshua, is Squirrel Street, but... that street is very dangerous."
Marina said worriedly.
"Danger?"
Qiao Xiu has always believed that Nolan's security situation can be said to be epoch-making. At least Qiao Xiu felt a strong academic atmosphere in this city, which is an atmosphere that can only be experienced in some universities on earth.
"I once asked others about that street, near the entrance of the street dwarves to the underground, and where is the gathering place of non-human races, I heard that there are often necromancers haunting." Marina said.
The reason for the formation of Squirrel Street is that it attracted a group of non-human races during the establishment of Nolan. They also came to this primitive land with curiosity about the underground ruins, but there were not as many as dwarves.
Although Nolan is a city governed by human spellcasters on the surface, it is actually governed by humans and dwarves. Under the protection of the dwarves, those sporadic non-human races built a street in the corner of Nolan. .
A very chaotic street.
"Tell me the location and location."
Nolan's architectural style itself is not suitable for the movie atmosphere of "This Devil Is Not Too Cold", and Joshua can only hope that the "dangerous squirrel" street in the old woman's mouth can match.
Seeing that her dissuasion was useless, Marina could only choose to give up. She did not forget that Joshua's identity was not only her boss and partner, but also a powerful magician.
The old woman took out a map of Nolan's main city, and drew an area in the lower city with a pen to show it to Joshua.
This suburb is located on the fringes of Nolan City, and it will take a while to get from this commercial street to where Squirrel Street is.
If this Squirrel Street is really as chaotic as Marina said, Joshua feels that rushing to it before dark is the best option.
"What about the Crusader that has been following you? Find a place to knock her out?"
Ciri, who had been listening quietly beside her, suddenly asked.
Since yesterday's World's Fair, a female knight named Messi seems to be in conflict with Joshua. Although she is playing Hearthstone downstairs now, she is monitoring Joshua with her "third eye" all the time. .
She seems to have replaced the duties of her mentor, Desireless, and is always vigilant against Joshua.
"If you knock her unconscious, our charges will be fulfilled. How could Nolan's three good citizens do this kind of behavior, or take an attitude of no matter what."
The biggest reason why the Crusaders dare not touch Joshua now is because... Joshua is a legal citizen of Nolan. Even if Joshua is a demon, he still enjoys Nolan's legal protection in this city. Shelter for people.
The influence of the Crusaders in Nolan is at most staring at Joshua from a distance. Once Joshua does something that violates Nolan's law and is caught by the Crusaders, they can be justified. The cooking Joe repaired.
So essentially, which lady knight has now turned into a… reporter
