Qiao Xiu slowly walked down from the top of the mage tower of the man in gray, holding the stone-like relic in his hand.
An hour ago, Qiao Xiu came to the mage tower of the man in gray as promised, and the wise sage also preliminarily judged the function of this relic.
"After it was activated, magic power continued to spread around it, as if it was sending some kind of message, maybe it was for help or to gather companions."
This is the original sentence of the man in grey.
Call for companions? Qiao Xiu looked at the azure blue interface of the slate.
If activating this special magic mechanical energy all the time attracts the people who make it, Joshua would be happy to turn it on for a period of time every day.
"You stop me!"
When Joshua came to the bottom of the mage tower, Joshua heard an angry shout.
A lot of feathers fell from the sky, and a fat owl suddenly landed on Joshua's shoulder.
"Damn it! I'm going to catch you and drink the stew one day!"
The source of the shouting was the "retired" judge Cheryl.
This young-looking Inquisitor was holding a silver-white kitchen knife in her hand and shouted angrily at the owl on Joshua's shoulder.
And the fat owl used a "gugugu" sound to ridicule the inquisitor who was not as good as before.
"What's wrong?"
Joshua looked up and down the dress on the Inquisitor, she was wearing an apron at this time, and she looked like she was preparing lunch.
"That owl named Keith ate my fish again!"
Cheryl waved the kitchen knife in her hand, which made Joshua suspect that the Miss Judge would throw the kitchen knife in her hand at the owl standing on Joshua's shoulder when she was unhappy.
The owl made a cooing sound again, waving its wings and flying directly into the upper floors of the mage tower.
"If it wasn't forbidding by the gray-clothed man, that fat pigeon...wouldn't last long for an owl!"
Cheryl wiped the kitchen knife with her fingertips.
Joshua has never doubted the combat effectiveness of this former judge, but unfortunately, in this mage tower class, the owl belongs to the "noble" class, and the two judges who live here belong to the commoners or lower. First-class maid category.
The gray-clothed man is famous for keeping owls throughout Nolan. When Joshua climbed the mage tower before, he could see a bunch of owls standing on the beam every few steps.
If it wasn't for the man in grey who set up some kind of barrier on the first floor, it is estimated that the first floor of the mage tower, where Cheryl lived, would have been in a mess.
"Is that why you want to move out?"
Joshua glanced around the mage tower, which had been cleaned up by Cheryl for a long time, but there was no "private space".
Beds for sleeping and desks for personal use are placed in the lobby on the first floor.
The mage tower of the gray-clothed man can indeed effectively resist the invasion of the enemy, but the living conditions may be a little worse than the ordinary inn.
"Waking up every morning and being stared at by a bunch of owls is not a good feeling at all," Cheryl said.
"Is that so?"
Joshua had let them temporarily live in the gray-clothed man's mage tower in order to prevent the attack of the heretic inquisitors.
But the judges during this period seem to have learned to behave, and Joshua has not met those guys for a long time.
Even if Nolan's teleportation node was opened this time, and he was connected to the kingdom of the Holy Cult, he did not encounter any Crusaders who came to trouble Qiao Xiu.
"Remember what I told you last time." Joshua's visit to the Mage Tower today was not only to find the man in gray, but also to find Cheryl.
"Are you talking about... make that diary a real book?"
Cheryl serialized "Diary of an Inquisitor of Heresy" on the magic net purely out of interest. At first, she never thought of making money from her diary.
But what she didn't even think about was that after coming to Nolan, this book became her only source of income.
"You guessed it right," Joshua said.
"But would anyone really want to pay for my diary?"
Cheryl still has some self-knowledge about how bad the writing of her diary is.
The ordinary born Cheryl is not very talented in writing. At the beginning, the diary used very simple language to describe some daily events.
She stayed in the mage tower of the gray-clothed man for so long, and tried to improve her literary skills by reading several books in the mage tower.
No matter if he took out any of the books in the surrounding bookshelves, the author's writing skills were nowhere higher than Cheryl's.
So when it was uploaded to the Fudo Library, Cheryl never expected that the diary she wrote down would be so popular.
"As the No. 1 respondent book at Fudo Library, I think your readers should be happy to buy a physical collection."
Joshua took out two contracts and handed them over to the judge in front of him.
She took the two contracts handed over by Joshua, one with her name written on it, and the other with Denisa's name written on it.
Cheryl briefly glanced at the contents of the contract. The regulations above are very common commercial terms.
"Why... the signature is the Farosi Royal Library?" Cheryl raised her head suspiciously and pointed to the last column of contractors. She thought it was Joshua who bought the publishing rights of her diary.
"Because the king of Farosi is also your loyal reader." Joshua said a message that made Cheryl stunned for about three seconds.
King of Fallowsy, this title Cheryl may only be seen on the highest-level bounty of the Inquisition of Heresy!
"Did the king read Denisa's book too?" Cheryl asked tentatively.
"Uh... that lady nun's book is a little special, so it was published in my name, and I randomly pinched a Hearthstone library for the signature."
If Qiao Xiu remembered correctly, the institutions that make books into "commodities" in this world are located in the world's major libraries.
Each library has its own unique collection and sale of books.
"How? Are you willing to accept it?" Joshua asked.
"What if you can't sell it?"
Cheryl still lacked confidence in the materialization of her diary.
After all, it doesn't cost money to watch Cheryl's diary sharing on the caster forum, but if it becomes a paper book, you need to pay a certain amount of money to browse the contents.
"If you can't sell it, it's very simple, and you'll starve to death on the street." Joshua smiled and made a joke that made the Inquisitor's body tremble: "Of course, this is just an example, please believe your Readers, Miss Cheryl, those words are the result of your hard work. The readers will not be stingy to spend a certain amount of money to support your creation, and I will also arrange a signing party for you, simple It's a chance to meet your readers."
"Signing..." Cheryl murmured the word. She used to be a judge. She was always alone, and even now Cheryl is not adapted to being exposed to the public.
But no one likes to hide in the dark. Sheryl subconsciously opened the magic web interface and glanced at a lot of comments under her book, whether she wanted to know the future development of the plot, or to pay attention to her current situation, and Hope to see the comments of the next chapter sooner, Cheryl has read them carefully one by one.
"I can try it."
After Cheryl hesitated for a moment, she held the hand that was used to the dagger, picked up a pen on the table, and signed her name on the contract.
