"Mandatory means..."
The Brass Dragon keenly captured the most crucial part of Joshua's words.
"In a state of hostility, Ciri treats me... as a dangerous demon, the kind of relationship that could kill people when they meet."
Joshua is also not very good at lying and refuting such things, and talking about the past can be regarded as an anecdote now.
"At that time, Ciri was my captive. Please stop staring at me, Misa. It's the kind of 'devil' behavior you imagined."
Joshua glanced at the messiah in the crowd, maybe the fact was the biggest blow to this lady paladin.
Over the years, Messi has gradually believed that Qiao Xiu is a good person in every sense of "good person".
"But Joshua actually... saved me at that time." Ciri said in a very low voice, "Including the people in that village, they all survived."
"Elena can attest to this!"
She said something to the little girl next to Zenas while eating the watermelon.
The little girl Zenas adopted has also grown up, but she probably will not forget the experience at that time in her life.
"Actually, there's no need to testify or anything. It's pointless to tangle over the past." Qiao Xiu said.
"The encounter between Mr. Joshua and Miss Ciri was more exciting than I imagined."
Although Brass Dragon still wants to continue to ask questions, he has too many questions to ask today.
"Today's interview is actually about your... interpersonal relationship, Mr. Joshua."
Brass Dragon said and glanced down, although the layout of this birthday banquet was not very luxurious, it was completely a gathering of ordinary people, and it was not an exaggeration to describe everyone sitting as a "pillar of the world".
"Our flower of Pharos and Joshua seem to have a good relationship with you... good friends." Brass Dragon thought about it for a while and chose to describe it as a friend, "Then I'm very curious about the first time you and Carole met. what does it look like?"
"Would you like to tell everyone the first time they met?" Qiao Xiu was lost in thought.
"Do you need me to answer for you?"
It seems that the flower of Farosi is not willing to be an ordinary onlooker.
"It's up to me to answer. Actually, the first time I met Carolle, it was very simple. At that time, it happened to be where "Beauty and the Devil" was released. Carolle took the initiative to find the heroine I wanted to be the next movie. ."
"And then starred in "The Devil Is Not Too Cold"?" Josh couldn't help but ask aloud. Although she heard Ciri mention this, she was still very interested in the behind-the-scenes of the film's birth.
It's like watching a movie trailer.
"Well, at that time Caroline... how should I say it? She was considered a perfect noble girl? In short, her words and deeds were very decent, but Matilda was not a noble girl, so my first request to her was He can speak swear words." When Josh revealed the secret, Josh's eyes naturally turned to Carole.
Even now, Caroline is a noble girl with perfect words and deeds.
"You can't see it in reality. If you want to see it, you can play the Holy Spirit with me at any time."
Carroll also looked at Josh with a smile on her face, which was considered an invitation.
In fact, the flower of Farosi is very irritable when playing games, especially the teamwork games like Holy Spirit. Fortunately, Carroll never broadcasts the process of playing games by herself.
"So is it Tailin or Sheier next?" Joshua took the initiative this time and asked the Brass Dragon instead.
"We've all heard of Miss Tailin's experience, and I'm also curious about Miss Sheyer, but... I'm most interested in Miss Missy."
Brass Dragon looked at everyone in the hall again, and Misa was stunned when he heard Brass's question. At this moment, Joshua seemed to see the thought of "I shouldn't come to this party" in her heart.
"It is well known that Misai used to be a knight in the Kingdom of the Holy Cult, but she has become a member of your entertainment guild in the past two years... In connection with the grievances between the Kingdom of the Holy Cult and the Demon Race in the past, there seem to be many interesting stories in it?" Brass Dragon said.
"Interesting, uh... let's put it this way." When Qiao Xiu was about to speak, Messi kept shaking his head and waving his hands, and almost didn't come up and drag Qiao Xiu down.
Fortunately, Heluria stopped the impulsive behavior of the female knight.
"Missai is a model of the Crusaders. I can be sure of this. Her integrity, faith-filled will and noble ideas are rare among all the members of the Holy Kingdom that I have come into contact with."
Joshua's initial compliment softened Misa's excitement a little.
"But unfortunately... this girl finally succumbed to the temptation called the devil."
"Me! You!" Messi couldn't care about Heloria's obstruction at this moment, and wanted to shout something, but it was stuck in his throat in the end.
"Actually, it's Hearthstone. The first time I met Messiah was at the Hearthstone Tavern, which had just opened. She originally wanted to take me away, but she sat down and played Hearthstone together for some unknown reason." Josh said.
"This fight is for a lifetime."
Heluria suddenly added a sentence coldly.
"Lord Hololia!" Messi really couldn't help shouting out this time.
"Am I wrong?" Helolia looked at her guardian knight with teasing eyes.
"Okay, I think Brass Dragon is the next thing you want to ask about Sheier?"
Joshua actually thinks that every provocation... not to tease, nor to tease this lady knight is very interesting.
"Sure, please," said the brass dragon.
"The encounter with Sheier was actually... the most unexpected thing for me."
When Joshua said this, Sheiel didn't say anything, but the snowy owl standing on her shoulder made a "gugugu" sound.
"At that time, I saw a post on the caster forum, a post asking for help... At that time, it was the day when judges were flooded. Do you want to skip this part?" Joshua asked when he said this. Sheyer.
The civil strife brought about by the Inquisitor is an inescapable pain for the Kingdom of Frost.
Sheier shook his head silently, indicating that there was no need for this.
"Actually, at that time, with the idea of killing the judge a little more, I met Sheier in the text message, and then helped her to overthrow the judge's rule in the country of frost." Joshua said the year. the truth.
"Mr. Qiao Xiu is the mastermind behind the Frost civil strife?" Brass Dragon was very surprised.
"Of course it's me. In fact, there are still many stories to tell. Do you need to continue asking?" Qiao Xiu looked at the brass dragon and asked.
"It's almost time, this time is your daughter's birthday party, and I shouldn't take up any more time." Brass Dragon shook his head and said.
"Then... the next thing to do is... music?"
With a question from Qiao Xiu, the musical instruments placed in the corner of the hall began to move on their own.
In fact, it was the ghosts of the skeleton who started playing.
Joshua slowly came to the table under everyone's attention and picked up a drink.
"Actually... It's good to know you all these years. There's a lot to talk about... But let's put it down first. I hope everyone can participate in Josh and Qiao Ya's birthdays this year, and the same can be done next year."
Joshua said, raising the cup in his hand lightly.
"For the rest of my life, please take care of me! Cheers!"
"cheers!"
"Cheers..."
Everyone around Joshua raised their cups, and today's carnival will continue for a long time.
"Wait a minute! Al, Fuya, and Little Joya haven't come yet!"
Al suddenly shouted from the second floor... But as soon as her voice fell, Joya appeared behind her and pulled Al back to the room.
Side Story 1 Arthur Crowe's Battle Royale
The day after Josh and Joya's birthdays.
Joshua brought his eldest and second daughters to the Arthur Crowe Amusement Park.
The people who came to the birthday party yesterday gave a lot of gifts, and Qiao Xiu didn't prepare anything, so he almost took an apple and gave it to his eldest daughter.
But Qiao Xiu still did not do such a tragic thing.
So today, Joshua asked Arthur Crowe to stop opening to the public in the name of routine maintenance.
But the fact is...
"Cheer, from now on the whole amusement park belongs to you, uh, of course it will not be open to the public only today, and we will still have to attract tourists in the future."
Josh stood at the door of the Arthur Crowe Amusement Park and spread his arms. In front of him was Josh, who had entered a sluggish state, and Joya, who had turned gray and kept shaking.
"I... ours?"
Josh's voice was also trembling. If she also faded like her sister, it is estimated that there will be no color on her body.
"Yes, this is your birthday present." Joshua repeated again.
"But Father's Arthur Crow amusement park is... is..."
Josh is completely speechless. There are three untouchable existences in her mind. The first is her idol Tailin, the second is her favorite movie character Matilda, and the third is The amusement park that every child in the world dreams of visiting once... Arthur Crowe.
When Josh was still in school, he dreamed of a trip to Arthur Crowe.
So she was super disappointed when she heard that her friends decided to take her to the amusement park at the birthday party, and she couldn't go because of her sister.
The result is now...
"I'm the builder of this amusement park, what's wrong? Your mother didn't tell you this?" Josh was also puzzled why Josh was so surprised.
Josh kept shaking his head, this part of the Arthur Crowe Amusement Park wasn't really in the story Ciri told her.
"Okay, now you know... and this amusement park is now yours and Joya's."
Josh's next sentence still made Josh very shaken, shaken and shaken... But Josh watched the various spectacular scenery in Arthur Crowe Amusement Park.
The Ferris wheel, which can be seen just from standing at the door, will be sprayed with a fountain of sinful cola, and rainbow-colored cotton candy and various mascots will be suspended in mid-air.
This is a world like heaven for any child.
Josh's only regret now is his friends... No, Josh looked back behind him.
Joya wasn't so frightened when she learned that the largest and only amusement park in the world belonged to her.
It was because there were several strangers standing behind Joya.
A stranger to Joa, but a friend made yesterday to Josh, and her best friend Riddles.
Riddles was much calmer than Josh, and in fact the girl may have lost her ability to think.
"Everyone... are you here to play?" Josh tentatively asked the people behind him.
"Well, this is the first stop of my trip." Tailin was the first to answer Josh.
Since yesterday's birthday party, Josh has learned to communicate with the idol of the past.
In the evenings, Taelin also taught her a lot about music.
In this life now, Josh has a feeling of being in a dream, but after getting used to it, he will be filled with great excitement and happiness.
"Since everyone has reserved the amusement park, how about an extra bonus?" Heloria suddenly raised her hand and said.
"That... I didn't invite you."
Joshua rubbed the between his brows, not knowing why Helolia always followed behind him like a shadow.
"As the bearer of the World Tree who is the same age as your daughter, do you really want to be so cruel?" Heluria relentlessly turned on the skill of pretending to be tender.
"Go ahead." Joshua gave up arguing with the saint.
"How about a points game? Put some animals or markers in the amusement park, you can get some points after you find them, and the winner with the highest points in the end can get some rewards."
Hololia came up with another tricky idea, but when Qiao Xiu wanted to reject it, Carroll said, "It seems interesting."
It means agree.
"Al also wants to participate!"
Al was also the type who would join in the fun, and the atmosphere gradually turned to agree with Heluria's proposal.
"Okay, do you need a group or something?"
Joshua glanced at everyone present, except that Cecily and Noggs were not very interested in the amusement park and went back first.
Most of the people who attended the birthday party yesterday were present, so the number of people was a little larger for a while.
If this match becomes an individual match, it is estimated that the whole situation will enter a state of chaos.
"It seems to be something that can be used in groups of three to get points... How about this?"
Ciri, who was beside Qiao Xiu, suddenly hugged the white bird on Qiao Xiu's shoulder, and the white bird fluttered his wings, but he still didn't break free from Ciri's clutches.
"The consciousness of the Arthur Crowe World Tree, I remember it seems to be able to appear anywhere in this amusement park?"
Ciri let go of her hand, and the white bird fluttered its wings away from Ciri immediately.
"It should be fine, right?" Josh raised his arm, and the white bird stopped on Josh's arm again. "As long as the Duke of Black Dragon is not around, this match should be fair."
"I shouldn't have used it to do this kind of thing, but since it is the request of the children of the forest, I am willing to host this small competition." Shiratori said.
"Where's the reward for this game?" When Qiao Xiu asked this question... he found himself saying another thing he shouldn't have said.
"Of course, rewards are what everyone wants." Heluria chose to express her true purpose. "I suggest that the final reward is to ask Joshua... How about doing something that does not violate morality within the scope of ability. ?"
"Aren't you afraid that I will cheat when you mention this reward?"
Joshua stopped Shiratori on his shoulders.
As the host of the High Elf World Tree, it is very simple for Joshua to perceive the location of the white bird.
"Aren't you Joshua as the host?" Caroline asked.
"No! I want to participate!" Joshua glanced at his eldest daughter Josh, and even she seemed very interested in the rewards of this competition "I agree with Heluria's proposal, but I have to add one Additional rules, I also have the right to refuse your request."
Under this additional rule, Heluria's suggestion was equivalent to none, but this did not hinder the enthusiasm of the girls present.
Extra 2 My menu is above you!
This game that I don't know why it started, and I don't know how to continue, but still forced to play, has finally kicked off.
The grouping was in the form of a lottery, and Qiao Xiu didn't understand whether anyone cheated.
But the current grouping of the draw is as follows.
The group with Josh as the main group with her friends Riddles and Al seems to be quite conventional, but there is actually a first group with a pit in it.
The second is the idol group that can win with Caroline and Taelin, plus Ciri's do not need to participate in the competition, and can win with a lot of fans.
There is also Sheiel plus Thousand Faces and Thunder Crystal Sophia... Since everyone is not familiar with it, it is a pure passerby team that will not be introduced.
The fourth team is Joshua... and Miss Misey who showed signs of collapse when they got the sign, and Joia, the second daughter of Joshua's family.
"I want to report! There are two or five boys in my team!"
When Joshua got this lottery, he clearly saw what Heluria was talking about with Messi. I was afraid that Messi would stab him in the back after the game.
"Being in the same camp, it is absolutely impossible for me to commit any betrayal." Messiah said to Joshua righteously.
"You just finished talking!"
Qiao Xiu didn't believe in the nonsense of Messi. This girl was mentally upright on the surface, but her body was surprisingly honest.
"Next is the fifth group."
Shiratori temporarily ignored Joshua's complaints and directly announced the fifth group.
The fifth group is Hololia, Fia and Lloydl.
When this group was separated out... Qianmian was the first one who couldn't accept it to stand up.
"I think there is a need for regrouping."
Qianmian was the first to express dissent.
Recently, Foya finally overcame the phobia that she would explode one meter away from home, and Qianmian was finally able to take Foya to Arthur Crowe Amusement Park for a lap or two.
In the end, there was a dangerous existence like Heluria in the team that Foya belonged to.
Even if Fuya can go out now, she is still wearing a quilt on her body. The quilt nodded in an indistinct trajectory, as if telling Qianmian that she was fine.
"Don't worry, Dark Elf... I will protect this World Tree."
Lloyd took the initiative to stand up. She had a good impression of Foya. After all, she often met in the world of consciousness.
"I hope to regroup." Qianmian ignored the goddess of order and said to Shiratori.
"Then the group that Lloydl and Qianmen belonged to exchanged? Do you have any objections?" Shiratori asked.
"Considering the particularity of my sister, it's a small privilege."
If Joshua remembered correctly, Foya's spirit was too unstable, but she would explode. It was an adventure for Foya to appear in Arthur Crowe.
If Foya is really handed over to that saint...
So in the absence of everyone's opinion, five seemingly unreliable teams were established.
As for the first project in this competition is…
"Cook?"
Under the guidance of Shiratori, Joshua came to the fountain of Arthur Crowe's sinful business, and a huge banner had been pulled up on the fountain square.
The ghost knows when these guys set up the venue.
"Wait a minute... As far as I know, shouldn't this game be about gathering all the white birds scattered all over... amusement parks?"
If Qiao Xiu remembered correctly, the nature of this competition was more like a treasure hunt game than a competition.
"Participating in competitions and finding my avatar can be used as a way to earn points. Some of my avatars need to win high points in some game events to appear, and the winner of this Arthur Crow cooking competition will win 10 points. Points." Shiratori gave Qiao Xiu a very official explanation.
"As expected of following me... The tree of the world who has been playing games for almost three years." Qiao Xiu put his hand on his forehead with a headache.
It's not that Shiratori didn't learn anything in such a long time, it also has its own consciousness and ideas...
As a noble tree of the world, Shiratori himself is not very happy to be chased by a group of people for no reason... Except for the Duke of Black Dragon, of course.
So wanting to earn its identity, Shiratori decided to set a level.
Games with challenges are fun.
"So why is it better than cooking?"
Qiao Xiu glanced around, and things like scorching flame crystals for cooking were already prepared, and the entire fountain square turned into a large cooking classroom in a blink of an eye.
"My guardians are getting tired of eating hamburgers recently. I think you should develop new foods, Son of the Forest." Shiratori leaned over Joshua and whispered with his beak close to Joshua.
it
Qiao Xiu glanced at the bewildered Duke Heilong sitting on the jury's seat, and instantly understood why he chose cooking for the first competition.
Dragon... hungry.
"Write the ingredients you need on paper, and I will prepare them for you as quickly as possible!" Shiratori said again to all the groups.
"What should I do?"
Missai saw that the other teams had begun to move quickly, while Joshua was still standing in the same place and fell into contemplation, while Qiao Ya hid behind Joshua and was reluctant to speak to this strange woman, Missai.
"You can cook?" Joshua asked Messi.
"If it is simple food eaten on the battlefield." Messi said uncertainly.
In her life, she used a sword to kill enemies on the battlefield, sang, danced, and acted in movies on the stage, but she had never tried cooking.
"Referee! Can I ask for the support of Owl Delivery?" Joshua asked Shiratori again aloud.
"No." Shiratori was very cold as a referee.
"It seems that I can only do it myself."
Qiao Xiu took his second daughter's hand and came to a cooking station. The condiments on it were very complete, but the ingredients still needed to be found by Shiratori.
"You... can cook?" Messiah's words were a little questionable.
"It's only a little bit, but for this game, you can just lie down."
Joshua rolled up his sleeves, picked up a pen and paper, and wrote down the ingredients he needed on it.
Qiao Xiu knew a little about cooking, but there were still many recipes stored in Qiao Xiu's long-term memory.
Like Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs, Peking Duck, Mapo Tofu, Dongpo Pork, Xiao Long Bao, Char Siu Bao, Creamy Yellow Sesame Bean Paste... and Poyang Lake crabs, no... There is no Poyang Lake here.
In short, Qiao Xiu is usually lazy because he has never cooked these dishes other than hot pot.
"It's good to hide some secret weapons."
Qiao Xiu handed over the ingredients he needed to Shiratori, and with the procurement speed of the "Qiao Xiu Consortium", even if these ingredients were scarce, they would be delivered within half an hour.
Fanwai·3 Duck Duck is so cute!
While the other groups were still discussing what to do, the ingredients for Josh's group had already arrived.
"It looks like you have to make a lot of dishes, so let me help you make the soup?"
Riddles also pulled up her sleeves and began to peel the radish.
This friend of Josh was also born in an ordinary mage family, and is usually the type who often helps the family with housework.
It may be the reason that I read too many novels. My friend has such a powerful background, and Riddles quickly accepted it after a brief shock.
"Then I'll make the main dish."
Josh tied his long hair into a single ponytail with a hair rope.
She is very fortunate that the first competition is cooking... If it is singing and acting, she will feel hopeless and invincible.
But there is no problem with cooking, and his father's three meals a day are basically made by Josh.
In this environment, Josh developed a good craft.
She has absolute confidence in cooking.
"Then Al... to make burgers?"
On the other hand, the third member of the team, Al... Among the foods she can make, there may be only one burger that is more reliable.
And all the ingredients are readily available.
"Ordinary lunch doesn't need fast food! Miss Al... Please help me peel the potatoes." Josh said tentatively.
"No problem, leave it to me."
Al found potatoes among the ingredients on the table and started her postmodern art sculpting.
Josh temporarily turned his attention from Al to the other groups... The ingredients for the other groups have basically arrived.
What made her more concerned was... which group of ingredients her mother had placed a thigh meat that was taller than a human being.
Josh didn't want to ask what kind of creature's thigh meat it was... Since it's for a giant dragon, it's okay to have a slightly larger dose
However, Josh also saw Nolan's sage come forward as a judge at the judges' table. There are three judges in total.
This cooking competition came too suddenly, leaving Josh with little preparation, but relying on past experience to bite the bullet is no problem.
Also inexperienced were the passers-by on Sheil's side.
"Anyone of you can cook?"
The ingredients on the menu that Sheyer handwritten have been shipped to their group's cooking table.
But Scheyer couldn't figure out what to do when he saw the pile of raw ingredients on the table.
As the dignified king of the Land of Frost, it is of course impossible for her to light up the skill of cooking... Even if she knew a little before, she has basically forgotten all about it now.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty Sheer, neither will Sophia."
Sophia, the lover of the man in yellow, came in through the relationship of the man in yellow, and the man in yellow and the man in gray were sitting on the judges' table.
The man in yellow originally came to regularly contact Arthur Crowe to check on the running status of Arthur Crowe, which is a bit like the smell of the census.
The man in gray also came to assist... After the inspection, he was naturally pulled by Shiratori.
After learning that the genius girl of the Silver Frost Fox family would not take care of it, Sheier put his last hope on the God of Order who was temporarily transferred to his team.
"Are you praying to me? Of course, as an almighty God, there is no way that something can't happen."
Lloydl enjoyed the sight of His Majesty the King asking for help.
"You know how to cook?" Sheil was very surprised.
"No." Lloyd replied bluntly to Sheier, "As a god, there is no reason to do this... Wait a minute! Listen to me!"
When Lloydl saw that Sheil and Sophia had abandoned her and walked away, they immediately chased after her.
"Although I don't know how to cook, there are many cooking tutorials on Magic Web Vision, and we can follow those tutorials." Lloydl gave a feasible solution.
"Have you just started learning on the magic net now?"
Shearer said he had no bottom in his heart.
"There is also this method, please rest assured, His Majesty Sheier, Sophia learns everything quickly."
The Thunder Crystal was of course interested in the rewards of this competition, because Joshua was the immediate boss of Caroline and Tyreen, and more importantly, this request even allowed Joshua to make a movie for her.
No matter that, Sophia mustered all her strength to win the championship.
"It can only be this way."
Sheier looked up and glanced around, the other teams had already started to act, and even Joshua went into battle and started cooking.
They can't keep falling behind!
…
"Is there anything I can do to help?"
Misai stood beside the Burning Flame Stone and watched Qiao Xiu cut carrots with a kitchen knife...
She was the only one in the team standing there, and even Joya was washing the ingredients with running water magic.
When Qiao Ya just cleaned a white and tender soy product and handed it to Joshua.
"well done."
Qiao Xiu couldn't touch his second daughter's forehead because of the water on his hands.
Joya just grabbed the edge of the table with her hands and watched the food in the pot gradually exude an attractive fragrance.
"Is father ready?" Qiao Ya tiptoed her feet impatiently. She wanted to eat the vegetables in the pot more than winning the game.
"No."
Joshua glanced at the pocket watch in his hand and needed to cook for more than ten minutes before it was ready.
"The Messiah..."
Joshua noticed his Messiah who was standing across the table and looked at him with resentful eyes.
"Is there anything I can do?"
Misa found the opportunity to communicate with Joshua and immediately asked, she didn't like being the most useless one in the group.
"Can you handle onions, radishes, and ducks?"
Joshua grabbed the long neck of a live duck and lifted it up. This weak and helpless duck kept kicking his calf in midair.
"I probably will." Messi nodded.
Professional cooking-level treatment may not be possible for Misa, but she's fine with killing this duck and plucking its hair.
"Then please take this duck to... the corner and execute it. Don't let my second daughter see it."
Qiao Xiu glanced at Qiao Ya, who was still paying attention to the dishes in the pot, if Qiao Ya saw Qiao Xiu put the duck on the cutting board.
What negative influence may be left behind by her young mind.
"I can do it all... but what are you going to do?"
Missy asked curiously after taking your struggling duck from Joshua.
Although she doesn't know how to cook, she also eats a lot of Nolan's dishes. Currently, the ingredients that Qiao Xiu chooses are those she is not very familiar with, such as the white and tender bean products.
"Mapo tofu, Peking duck, and sweet and sour pork ribs... I'll make a simpler scrambled egg with tomato after considering the time."
Joshua said a lot of dishes that Messiah had never heard of.
"Can I try it?"
Messi also came to the Arthur Crowe Amusement Park without having breakfast.
The first dish that Joshua cooked already had a tempting aroma, and when Misa asked this sentence, she clearly felt the hostile gaze from Joya.
"It's okay to try it, as long as you prepare the ingredients first." Joshua said, pointing to the innocent duck in Messiah's hand.
