Joshua sat on the referee's bench for the game, and an area in the Hearthstone Tavern had been divided as a qualifier area.
This qualifier also includes another branch of Hearthstone Tavern.
Joshua still underestimated the importance Hearthstone players attached to this Nolan Open.
In the past, when playing Hearthstone, the dwarves who would make a loud noise because of a divine draw were so serious today that they seemed to be attending some important meeting, holding cards in their hands and saying nothing.
"The Frost Axe Clan... The dwarf elders of the Black Rock Clan and the Red Copper Clan are basically here."
As the acting manager of Hearthstone Tavern, Mrs. Marina also sat on the bench.
Nearly half a year's operation of Hearthstone Tavern has allowed Mrs. Marina to thoroughly understand the factions among the dwarves in Nolan's underground, including those dwarves who are "important figures" in each clan.
And today's preliminaries looked a little incredible to Mrs. Marina. In the past, the meeting between the three great elders of the three underground dwarf tribes would only appear at some of the more important meetings.
And these meetings are no less than Nolan's council of sages, the kind that may change the pattern of Nolan's underground.
But in the eyes of some outsiders, it is a group of dwarves gathered to carry out some activities of unknown significance.
"Mr. Joshua, it's time for me to go to the branch on the Central Commercial Street." After Mrs. Marina left this sentence, she left the referee's seat and went to the branch near the Bai Jinghua Theater.
Most of the guests in this tavern were dwarves. In the presence of the elders of the three clans, Joshua was not worried that the young dwarves would cheat, and the branch near the White Thorns Theater was the most in need of management.
After Mrs. Marina left, only Joshua, Ciri, and Taelin were left on the bench.
Ciri is not a referee, but a contestant, and she has successfully won the first qualifier.
"Speaking of Ciri, are you really planning to give up the qualification for the promotion?" Qiao Xiu glanced at Ciri next to her. Not long after she won the victory, she voluntarily chose to give up the next match.
"Well... The man in purple said that the magic power in my body has condensed to a very critical level. According to what you said in the next few days, it seems that I'm going to 'retreat'. Today I still sneak out." Ciri said.
"I can see it." Joshua glanced at the door of the Hearthstone Tavern, and the purple-robed man wearing a dark purple robe was already standing at the door of the Hearthstone Tavern.
The man in purple came to the referee's bench outside the competition area with a staff in hand. Qiao Xiu thought that the sage was here to bring her apprentice home, but the man in purple came to Qiao Xiu.
"The Council of Sages has approved the establishment of the 'Nobel Prize' you proposed, but the Council of Sages named this award the 'Skgerona Award'." The man in purple immediately gave Joshua's puzzled expression. It stated that "Skgerona was a great spellcaster at the beginning of Nolan's establishment, but he had already passed away due to his age, so the Council of Sages intends to use this award to commemorate him."
"Okay..." Qiao Xiu thought that the person who notified him of the news would be the one in gray, but Qiao Xiu suddenly remembered that the one in gray seemed to be still participating in the Hearthstone game.
"What about the time of the awards? What specific awards were established?"
Regarding the idea of the "Nobel Prize", Qiao Xiu only briefly mentioned the people in yellow and gray, but he didn't expect that it would really be taken so seriously by the Council of Sages.
"The time has not yet been determined. It is most likely that the next time Nolan's central portal will open. I am here to represent the Council of Sages. I hope that the process and screen of the award will appear on the magic machine called 'TV'."
The man in purple told Qiao Xiu in an awkward way, hoping that the awarding process of this award could be broadcast live on TV.
"Of course no problem, I will assist the Council of Sages."
Qiao Xiu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the request of the man in purple.
As Nolan's highest ruling class, the Council of Sages can use countless tough means to ask Qiao Xiu to cooperate, but this time the man in purple came to Qiao Xiu in person and informed Qiao Xiu of the Council of Sages' wishes.
This made Joshua's worst worry in Nolan gradually disappear.
It seems that the decision to use the pulpit to brush up the favorability of the sages is still correct. At least there are currently three sages in the sage council who will take a favorable decision on Qiao Xiu.
"grateful."
After giving a very formulaic answer, the purple-robed man's eyes fell on his apprentice.
"Ciri... Today is the so-called 'sick leave'."
What surprised Ciri was that the man in purple did not intend to take her back to the Mage Tower.
"Sage Mellors."
When the man in purple was about to leave, Qiao Xiu stopped her.
"Anything else? Joshua Arnold." The Purple Man began to call Joshua by his full name after he became acquainted with Joshua during the production of "Avatar".
Qiao Xiu felt a little strange at first, but now he is gradually getting used to the "old man's" communication method of the purple clothed man.
"Your body looks a little... not very good." Qiao Xiu noticed the weakness in the purple-clothed man's words during the conversation just now.
She had told Joshua that she had less than a year to live, which was short for anyone.
"This is just a symptom of human aging." The purple-clothed person doesn't seem to care about this, although she looks like she is only in her thirties.
"Perhaps you can change the location of the lecture to the second floor here. The world tree of the elves should be able to relieve it."
The World Tree is also a rare treasure for adventurers in this world. The rumor that even a serious injury can be healed just by touching a leaf is enough to make adventurers excited.
Of course, the rumors are false. Although the World Tree contains powerful vitality, its curative effect is not so terrifying.
The man in purple heard Qiao Xiu's words and set his eyes on Tailin.
"I don't mind, the Holy Tree doesn't want a great person like you to die."
Tailin has lived in the human world for such a long time, the prejudice of the original elves against humans has long disappeared, and even Tailin's world tree is the same.
"I'll consider it." The purple-robed man replied to Qiao Xiu after a moment of silence.
Josh watched the sage leave the Hearthstone Tavern.
"Is it possible for the World Tree to extend the lifespan of humans?" Qiao Xiu suddenly asked.
"This... I don't know either." Tailin shook her head and said, "But the holy tree told me that the human is very weak, and the reason for the weakness is not like... the lifespan is exhausted, I think the holy tree should have a way to be able to treat."
"I hope so." Qiao Xiuzhen didn't want that great special effects master to pass away regretfully after just finishing one movie. "And Tailin, do you want to hold a concert?"
Qiao Xiu glanced at the various news from the light chasers on the text message, and the "Nobel Prize Award Ceremony" that he did not know when to hold, and this idea came to his mind.
