Nolan, Hearthstone Tavern.
"She's my assistant."
Qiao Xiu naturally answered her elder sister's question.
"Assistant... If you are short of manpower, Qiao Xiu, I can provide it to you, and I can absolutely trust it."
This reply made Qiao Xiu not know how to answer, Qiao Xiu is indeed short of manpower now.
But what Qiao Xiu really lacks is "programmers", and Qiao Xiu feels that there should be few people in this world who have lit up the skill of "programming", and even if they do, they are only entry-level.
"Thank you for your concern... At present, I am not short of any manpower. I will start to solve the problem of the messenger group and the famine tomorrow."
After Joshua gave the answer in a formulaic way, Cecily also gave a "I hope everything goes well" reply.
Joshua waved his finger to close the interface of the magic net, and looked at Ciri who was eating dinner.
"What's wrong?" Ciri noticed Joshua's gaze and raised her head with the spoon in her mouth.
"No… nothing."
Qiao Xiu shook his head, sat back at the desk, and opened the magic web interface again. This time, what appeared in front of Qiao Xiu was not the message that kept popping up on the text message, but an inscription that was so complicated that even Qiao Xiu had a headache. code.
Even though Joshua's thinking speed and physical response can be multiplied after entering the meditative state, the workload of using the inscription "programming" is still so great that Joshua wants to collapse on the sofa and say, "I'm almost a waste. ”.
What Qiao Xiu is making is just a pixel game. In the future, it is almost impossible for one person to complete a large-scale game with dozens of gigabytes and a development time of one or two years.
"Sure enough, is the programming course of the Higher Magic Academy necessary?" Joshua picked up the invitation letter with the owl wax seal on the table.
Now Joshua can only hope that Nolan, a city full of talents, will have one or two "Bill Gates" or "Lynas Benadict" level programming geniuses.
At present, what Qiao Xiu knows may be called the title of "genius", of course, the wizard in gray with the name of Nolan sage.
Qiao Xiu took a moment to edit a text message and sent it to the man in gray, explaining that he would visit Nolan Higher Academy tomorrow and hope that some demons would like to be admitted.
After the text message was sent, Qiao Xiu quietly waited for the sage's reply.
…
An owl landed in front of a gray wizard's tower, and a dim green light flashed... The owl instantly turned into an elf.
This is one of the many beast forms that Elder Sepphan has realized, and it is also the first beast form he realized.
He raised his head and looked at the somewhat dilapidated mage tower. There were several owls squatting around the mage tower, seemingly monitoring the movement of the uninvited guest.
The Mage Tower was originally a symbol of Nolan's glory, but this Mage Tower can be said to be the most inconspicuous of Nolan's seven Mage Towers.
Elder Sepphan pushed open the wooden door of the mage tower and walked in, but the inside was much cleaner than the outside.
He glanced at the tower with the vision of the black wood elf, but did not find the figure of the owner of the tower.
In the darkness behind him, a fork silently stretched out and touched Elder Sepphan's neck...
"Don't move."
A strange voice sounded behind the elf elder.
The guards of the mage tower... no... this familiar aura.
Since the elder Sepphan had dealt with the Heresy Inquisition, he was very sensitive to the "taste" of this group of executioners.
The Inquisition destroyed the Darkwood Elf's world tree and slaughtered his people, who were unforgivable enemies to Elder Sepphan.
Elder Sepphan did not wait for the other party to say the next sentence. A large number of green vines suddenly spread on the ground, and these vines forced the other party to stay away from Elder Sepphan.
"Why are you cruel invaders here?" Elder Sepphan turned to see the figure in the darkness.
This inquisitor looks extremely young, with a little cream on her cheeks, and seems to be chewing something in her mouth... and the weapons in her hands are a fork and a knife.
"This is the question I should ask, right? Elf!" She said loudly to Elder Sephard after swallowing the contents of her mouth.
Elder Sepphan was not deceived by her youthful appearance. A pale green inscription appeared in his hand, and a large number of thorns with thorns suddenly appeared on the planks of the tower.
"Stop... you two, I don't think there's any point in fighting."
The door of the tower was pushed open, and the man in gray returned to the tower to look at the confronting judge Cheryl and the elf elder Sephan.
"Rulsk, she is the executioner from the Inquisition of Heresy."
Elder Sepphan called out the name of the man in gray, and at the same time warned the danger of the person in front of him.
"That was only once, and now this little girl should be considered a writer, Cephine, I know you have a lot of questions to ask me, come with me."
The man in gray seemed to have already met the arrival of the black wood elf, and he slowly walked up to the top of the mage tower.
Elder Sephard glanced at the "weapon" in the hands of the judge. The knife was still stained with traces of cream, and it didn't look like a tool for murder.
Strong self-control allowed Elder Sepphan to suppress his anger at the Inquisitor and keep up with the Grey Clothed One.
"I haven't seen you for nearly 30 years, Sephan... The lifespan of a human being is really short. The first time I saw you is basically the same as it is now," said the man in gray.
"I remember you were a magician studying in Nolan at that time," said Elder Sephard.
"Forget about the things I can't remember, Cephine, this time you left the forest to seek revenge from the Church's Inquisition, right?"
The man in gray quietly looked at the elf druid and asked.
"Part of it is for the hatred of my ethnic group, and the other part is the reason why the Inquisition of Heresy destroyed the World Tree, not to make my ethnic group disappear from this world..."
Elder Sephard glanced around. This is the top floor of the Mage Tower. Although it seems to be covered with dust and debris, it is full of various powerful magic enchantments. If anyone rashly touches any of the books here Books, he will be reduced to ashes in an instant.
"Is that a long time ago?" The man in grey waved a long dusty book from the bookshelf and fell into his hands.
The surface of the book was covered with dust and even had some spider silk stuck to it.
The man in gray opened the ancient book, and the text on it was not the text that humans use today, but a complex and difficult text.
This is the text that can be seen on the broken buildings in the underground ruins of Nolan, and these texts are the symbols that constitute various spellcasting inscriptions.
But only a very few spellcasters can read all of what is written above, and the one in grey is one of them.
"I would rather believe that what is written in this book is just a fantasy written by a lunatic," said the man in grey.
"But it's true." Elder Sepphan said, staring into the eyes of the grey-robed man, "I met a dark elf in Nolan, an elf who had disappeared from this world for a long time, and she told me...their clan The world tree was also destroyed by the Inquisition of Heresy, and a frost elf suffered the same disaster, but the girl was lucky, the world tree of the frost elf family still has hope of rebirth, just like... us."
"Unfortunately the Nolan spellcasters are free, they don't take orders from anyone, Cephine."
The Grey Clothes knew why the Darkwood elf had come to him.
The Black Wood Elves, who have been severely damaged now, must find reinforcements if they want to defeat the behemoth of the Holy Kingdom.
"Don't be discouraged, maybe I can't command all of Nolan's spellcasters to be enemies of the Holy Land, but there is one in Nolan."
"The demon named Joshua?" Elder Sepphan guessed what the man in gray was trying to say. "What that demon showed me is really beyond my imagination, but I still can't believe that a demon can Let so many humans obey him."
"Not at your command, Cephine."
The man in gray waved his hand again, and a pure white inscription appeared in his hand. The image of the judge Cheryl and the nun Denisa enjoying dessert appeared in front of Elder Sephard.
"This is Cheryl. She is a defector. She betrayed the Heresy Tribunal and escaped from the Holy Land with her friends to Nolan through the portal."
"Fugitives, did the Inquisition of Heresy let them go?"
Elder Sepphan looked at the two people on the screen, and his original anger subsided a little.
He was not blinded by hatred.
Although the younger girl looked like a bloody executioner, Elder Sepphan was certain that the girl in the nun's clothes had no blood on her hands.
Judges and judges are also different from each other.
"No, they are carrying a secret that the Inquisition of Heresy has concealed from the world for many years. They were chased and killed by the inquisitors who came here, and they were even pushed into a desperate situation for a time."
At the beginning, the man in gray had watched the live "live broadcast" on the caster forum, so the tone of the speech was quite immersive.
"You rescued them?"
Elder Sepphan could only guess this possibility, otherwise the two defectors of the Inquisitor would not be in the gray man's mage tower.
"I was only one of the casters who rescued them, and there were dwarves among the helpers at the time."
The interface of the magic net appeared in front of the gray-clothed man. He logged in to the caster forum and entered the section of the "Modal Library".
The caster forum does not have a retrieval function for the time being, and the gray-clothed man can only start to read historical posts according to his memory.
At this time, the gray-clothed person once again realized the convenience of the caster forum. No matter how old the post is, it will not be lost due to time. It only takes some time to find it.
The posts in this section of the Fudo Library are much fewer than those in daily chatter and magic research.
As a senior member of the Spellcaster Forum, the gray-clothed man turned back a dozen pages from memory to find the distress message sent by Sister Scottan, that is, Cheryl.
The Grey Clothes showed Elder Sepphan the reply log below this post.
In the eyes of Elder Sephard, this post can already be regarded as a battle meeting...
The battle meeting held to save the Sister Scottan, and everyone in the meeting did not know each other, but all chose to lend a helping hand to this stranger who had never even met once.
"How did it do it?" Elder Sepphan couldn't understand the motives of these humans and dwarves, and finally had to ask questions.
"Maybe it's because this Sister Scottan wrote an interesting story."
The man in gray closed this post, went directly to the first page of the Fudo Library, and opened a post that had nearly seven or eight thousand replies.
That is, the Diary of the Inquisitor of Heresy, written by Sister Scottan.
"I have read this diary."
When Elder Sepphan used the caster forum, he also hoped to find information on the Inquisition of Heresy, and this "Diary of the Inquisitor of Heresy" told him almost everything about the Inquisitor.
"This is an interesting diary, and there are many people who like it." The man in gray did not stingy his praise.
"Unfortunately Rusk, I can't understand human preferences."
"That's because you didn't see the end. For those who like this diary, it is absolutely unimaginable to never be able to see the pain of the latter part, and the death of the author will lead to this result, and the dwarves Will help, I think because of the game called Hearthstone," said the man in grey.
"… "
Sephard pondered for a moment when he heard this, and he could already understand what the gray-clothed man wanted to express.
"The devil created the magic net, and he created the game Hearthstone. Do you want to say that he caused all this? Rulske."
The man in gray waved his hand slightly again, and a book on the shelf that recorded the history of the world flew into his hand.
"Many years ago, the missionaries of the Holy Land traveled all over the world. Through their own language and the words of the Gospels, they rendered the devil into a cruel monster, the enemy of mankind." The history of the portion was shown to Sephard and then said.
"Now why can't a demon rely on the magic web he created, the Voice of Nolan, so that the movie can tell the people the true face of the Inquisition in the Holy Land? This is his weapon, Sephirn... far more than magic , a long sword, and the army wants a terrifying weapon."
"But it will take time for this weapon to show its edge... There are not many World Trees in the world that can still be used as 'locks'," said Elder Sephard.
"It won't be long."
When the man in gray said this, he just received a text message from Qiao Xiu. After reading the content of the text message, a smile appeared on his face.
"Sephan, why don't you come with me tomorrow to see how much influence that demon has in this city?"
