Nolan, Hearthstone Tavern.
"It's totally popular."
Qiao Xiu sat behind the bar of the tavern and looked at the two sages not far away, the man in gray and the man in purple.
Spellcasters who frequent the Hearthstone Tavern have long been accustomed to encountering these two sages in the tavern.
On weekends, the two of them would find a table in the tavern to play a game or two of Go.
With a sage taking the lead, this rule seems to be simple, but in fact the ever-changing ancient board game has gradually become popular in Nolan.
"Maybe I should consider expanding the pub."
Joshua glanced around, and the Hearthstone Tavern during the day would never be enough, plus a group of spellcasters occupied a corner and started to play Go, which basically took two to three hours for a game.
"When exactly is the expansion plan planned?"
The dark elf was sitting in front of the bar, holding a small notebook and pen, staring at Joshua.
"Qianmian, have you been so idle recently?"
Josh took a glass of ale and handed it to the dark elf, who had been sitting in the Hearthstone Tavern for almost an hour.
At the beginning, it was aimed at the gray-clothed man and the purple-clothed man. After interviewing the match between the gray-clothed man and the purple-clothed man, he turned his attention to Qiao Xiu.
"I'm very busy, I've already made the first edition of the magazine you suggested." The dark elf pointed to the two magazines that Joshua kept in his hand: "The response from readers was unexpectedly good, so I'm busy with the second issue. There are not enough manpower to write for magazines.”
"Alchemy magazines and fashion magazines?"
Qiao Xiu picked up a copy of "Nolan Alchemy Magazine" with the cover of the Tower of Sages at hand and glanced at it.
The Black Dove News Agency controlled by the dark elves is also an organization under Joshua's command, so the Hearthstone Tavern has naturally become one of the places to sell magazines.
"It's done a lot better than I thought...and who did the printing work?"
Joshua didn't know much about the birth of books in this world. The only thing that was certain was that there were magical machines like "printing machines" in this world.
"A alchemy workshop under the Klia Chamber of Commerce, you mentioned the concept of 'newspaper' to me before. After I inquired, I learned that there is a similar 'book' in the country of steel." The dark elf said.
"Colour, magic is a terrible thing."
Qiao Xiu's hand touched the surface of the magazine. The material of the paper was not like ordinary book paper, but had a metallic texture.
This also led to a heavy feeling in Joshua's hand. This magazine exchanged a light price for every page to be colorful.
"The process of making this thing is more interesting than I thought." The dark elf said.
The idea of magazines was proposed by Joshua. The dark elves thought it was too troublesome at first, but the Black Pigeon News Agency has been overflowing with manpower recently.
A group of reporters ran around the streets, and some of the news they found were irrelevant.
So the dark elf tried to make the first issue of the magazine, and of course she was the editor-in-chief.
"It's because these magazines can be written exactly according to your ideas. After all, the manuscript of the daytime news has to be revised by me."
Qiao Xiu glanced at some of the articles above, and there were also some gossip news in the alchemy magazine.
"So what's the matter with you coming to see me today?"
Joshua put down the magazine in his hand and asked the dark elf who had finished drinking the ale.
"Interview."
As if the dark elves had found their favorite prey, the eyes they looked at Qiao Xiu were different.
She kept turning the ink storage pen in her hand, as if she was eager to write something in her small notebook.
"As soon as I write code, what is there to interview." Joshua said.
"In human history, our dark elves are synonymous with lies, but we are still a little worse than you, Mr. Joshua." The dark elves flipped over the small book in their hands.
"The director of the movie "The Shawshank Redemption" released yesterday, one of the winners of the Skjerona Award, the highest award in human beings, these are the latest two. If all the previous news are added up, it can feed the entire Black Dove News Agency. ."
"Is this self-eating?"
Qiao Xiu glanced at the two sages who were playing Go again.
The news of the winner of the Skjerona Prize, which the Greys made it clear, has not been revealed to anyone.
But it is a fact that the award ceremony will be watched by the world.
Of course, the dark elves would not miss such a good opportunity.
"The news about the awards will be discussed when the ceremony is held. You can ask something else." Joshua said.
"Other?" The dark elf turned the pen in his hand again and thought for a moment.
"Then ask questions about the magic net. Recently you have perfected the functions of the magic net. Whether it is magic net shopping or magic net vision, it is a function that can change your lifestyle. What are you going to do next?"
"The next step is definitely to focus on the gaming side."
"Game? The game section of the caster forum? Isn't the game on it updated all the time?"
In his spare time, the dark elves will occasionally find a game or two on it to relax.
And the popularity of the game division has always been the top few in the caster forum.
It's also thanks to the caster forums that update a new game every once in a while.
"You mean "Snowman Brothers", "Squirrel Wars", and "Knock on Bricks"?" Joshua asked.
"This type? Isn't this a game on the magic net?"
The dark elves didn't understand the meaning of Qiao Xiu's words for a while.
"No, they are just the magic net games that I first knew. The potential of magic nets has not yet been realized. It is just the beginning of all this." Joshua said.
"Start?" The dark elf was slightly surprised after recording Qiao Xiu's words in the small notebook.
The Dark Elf used to spend an afternoon playing Yeti Brothers on vacation, and the Leyline game was fun enough for her.
"Can you keep the information disclosed below a thousand faces?" Joshua lowered his voice when he said this.
"This is not my style." The dark elf shook his head slightly and rejected Joshua.
"It's not a big secret anyway." Joshua pointed to his head. "Have you ever thought about the principle of the magic net? And how it works?"
"I thought about it, and as far as I know, many spellcasters have also discussed it on the forum, and there are many final results... But few of them are reasonable to me." The dark elf said.
"The magic net itself is composed of a large number of inscriptions. Do you think your brain can really handle such a huge amount of inscriptions?" Qiao Xiu asked.
"This is what the casters discussed..." The dark elf rubbed her forehead, she couldn't imagine how so much information appeared in her mind.
"The answer is yes, after all, the reality has proved it."
Joshua said that an order inscription appeared on his hand.
"This question is close to the nature of the world, do you think the inscriptions are created by the gods and given to us, or is the inscription itself a huge system created by 'us', this system covers the entire world... Let human beings have the ability to control the elements of the world Ability?"
"Shouldn't we discuss the magic net? This is a topic that Nolan's sages should study." The dark elves seemed to refuse to answer this question.
"It's just that I have this idea after I have been in contact with the World Tree for a long time recently." Qiao Xiu shook his head and seemed to be planning to change the subject. "Anyway, I plan to make a new game in the next period of time."
"What about the specific game content?"
The dark elf picked up the pen again and was ready to record it in the small notebook.
"Secret." Joshua smiled and replied to the dark elf.
"… "
The dark elf fell into silence for a moment.
"Well, it's a player-versus-player game, and it has a certain connection with Hearthstone. I originally planned to make a larger online game, but unfortunately I found that my ability was not enough, so I had to start with a single player first." Qiao Xiu Supplements were given immediately.
"It seems that if you continue to ask, you are not willing to answer." The dark elf put down the notebook in his hand and stood up from his seat. "Joshua, regarding the secrets related to the World Tree you just mentioned, I suggest you to Don't look into it."
"Actually, I'm not interested either. Let's leave this to the sages to study."
Joshua waved his hand and watched the dark elves leave the tavern.
