Nolan, Alchemy Market.
Qiao Xiu is preparing to find the protagonist of "Hachiko".
Fortunately, with the help of the frost elf Tailin, Qiao Xiu quickly found a shop selling hounds in the messy alchemy market, and in this shop also found a very suitable "Hachiko" childhood image. hound.
"It... doesn't look very happy."
Tailin picked up the yellow puppy. The puppy turned his head sideways and didn't seem to have a cold on Tailin, which made Tailin very hurt.
No matter what, the elves are a group that is close to nature. When Tailin lived in the forest before, although she could not tame some animals, it was still very easy to get close to them.
"It... seems to despise you."
Qiao Xiu made a merciless slash beside him. The yellow puppy's slanted look is really suitable to be sent to the caster forum as an emoji.
"Am I... really annoying to animals so much?" Tailin tried to communicate with the puppy, but he slapped his mouth and continued squinting at Tailin without saying a word.
"Guest, this is a field hound from the Eastern Kingdom. It is said that their owners have been doomed from birth." The owner of the shop explained next to them.
"This puppy does have some special aura, although it's not magic."
Joshua glanced at the other puppies in the cage below, they all came from the same mother, but Joshua picked this one at a glance.
It does have an "unusual" feeling about it, and it may be that the expression made by this puppy has the talent to become a meme star...
"How much does this hound cost?" Joshua asked.
Although it seems to dislike Tailin, at least it is very obedient, neither fighting nor making trouble, which is very important for the filming of the film.
Hachiko, the loyal dog Hachiko, was very quiet at a young age, while the other puppies in the cage seemed overly energetic.
"Ten gold coins, sir, these puppies were brought back by my servants to the distant eastern kingdom, so the price is a bit more expensive than the main hounds. Of course, if you think the price is too expensive, you can exchange them for other items."
The businessman said that this is also the characteristic of the Nolan Alchemy Market. This messy market sells almost everything. The spellcasters can directly set up stalls on the spot. They prefer to exchange items instead of directly trading with gold coins. thing.
The shop that Qiao Xiu visited was a shop on the edge of the alchemy market. This shop originally sold eggs of various unknown creatures, and selling hounds was just a sideline.
"Items? Like those?"
Qiao Xiu did not pay the bill with gold coins immediately, because when Qiao Xiu entered the alchemy market, he saw two spellcasters trading with black original spar, and that original spar was the "card box" of Hearthstone legend.
"I need some blood sword grass recently, but do you play Hearthstone, sir? It's a game unique to a tavern on the commercial street on the edge of downtown."
"certainly… "
Qiao Xiu did not expect that this human businessman was also a Hearthstone player. Recently, the traffic in the tavern has gradually increased. Originally, Qiao Xiu was able to know all the guests who visited the tavern, but now it is difficult to do so.
"That's really good!"
Hearing that Qiao Xiu is also a Hearthstone player, the businessman's attitude has obviously become much closer.
"I'd love to get a Warrior's epic weapon card, Gorehowl, sir, do you… have it?" he asked.
Hearthstone Tavern has been officially opened in Nolan for three months, and the card exchange system has gradually been established among Nolan's spellcasters.
Even in the dark, every card already has a clearly marked price.
"It's a pity that I didn't bring a card case with me today." Joshua took out ten gold coins and handed them to the businessman. "And the Gorehowl sold on consignment in the tavern, I remember the price is twenty-seven gold coins."
"This… "
His own thoughts were seen through by Qiao Xiu, and the businessman was a little embarrassed, but after Qiao Xiu bought this puppy, he still gave Qiao Xiu a wooden basket and some jerky for the puppy.
Joshua and Taelin walked out of the shop and returned to the carriage arranged by Sir Whitebud.
"Mr. Joshua... why do I think this puppy's bark sounds a bit like... a bear?"
Tailin stroked the puppy's forehead with her hand, hoping to refresh its favorability by this simplest method.
But the puppy still stared at Tai Lin with contempt, even though the jerky was placed in front of him, he was indifferent.
"It may be your illusion, but it will be called Xiaoba from today."
Qiao Xiu asked the driver of the carriage to go to the other side of Squirrel Street. The starring of "Hachiko" when he was young has been selected, and the rest is to go to the studio to prepare to start shooting.
The puppy seemed to have reacted a little to the name Xiaoba, raised his head and looked around, but in the end he was still a little lost and lay on the wooden basket.
At this moment, a text message popped up on Joshua's magic net. Joshua glanced at the signature and found that the text was from Carroll.
When Qiao Xiu opened the text message and glanced at the contents, his mood became slightly heavy.
"The Church's Heresy Inquisition has attacked the Blackwood Forest, and the entire forest has been turned into a sea of fire..."
Sure enough... is disaster still coming
Joshua glanced at Tailin, the frost elf sitting opposite the carriage. Now Joshua has met two elves whose own tribe was destroyed by the judge, one of them is Tailin, and the other is a dark elf.
This time, the action of the Inquisition of Heresy was almost instantaneous. Joshua was still talking with Carroll about the new movie in the morning, and in the afternoon, the Blackwood Forest announced its fall.
Joshua didn't even have time to send any form of military support...
"Are you safe now? Is there anything I can do to help?"
Caroline is a talented actress, Joshua doesn't want "The Devil's Not Too Cold" to be her life's last work, and as a friend and ally, Joshua can't just watch her die in the Inquisition of Heresy. on hand.
"I'm safe now, just don't know if my mother and Frey are the same..."
From the text message sent by Carroll, Joshua felt inexplicably that her situation was very bad. In a disaster, not only did she lose her personal bodyguard, but her relatives were not around.
But this strong girl doesn't need Joshua's consolation...
"Mr. Joshua, the Inquisition of Heresy not only destroyed the residence of the Blackwood Forest, but also pushed all these sins on the devil... There must have been missionaries who have spread these rumors in Farosi, and I have them invaded in my hands. Evidence from Blackwood Forest... Should I post this to the camp or the caster forum."
The first part of Carroll's message made Joshua feel a little tricky.
If the church throws the black cauldron that burned the Blackwood Forest and slaughtered the elves on the devil's head, the devils must carry it even if they don't want to...
Because the human beings in the world are more willing to believe in the mission of the kinship church than the devil, not to mention that the church is in the case of "witnesses", the survivors of those disasters.
The worst thing is that this will intensify the hatred between humans and demons... At that time, not only the kingdom of frost and the kingdom of holy religion will attack the demon world.
But fortunately, Caroline, who made a cameo appearance as a "War Reporter", played an excellent role and recorded the evidence of the crimes committed by the Heresy Tribunal in the Blackwood Forest in the form of photos.
"Post it on the caster forum and I'll pin your post on top... Carolie, is there anything else you need help with?"
"Help... I'd love to see your new film, Mr. Joshua."
This text from Carroll kept Joshua silent for a while, and then quickly typed back to her.
"A new movie is being filmed, and you are welcome to come to Nolan to watch it at any time."
