"Mr. Joshua, is this Nolan's underground?"
Madam Marina looked back and forth in this ruined city in confusion.
Joshua, who was originally traveling, suddenly returned to the Hearthstone Tavern this afternoon, and told Mrs. Marina to lead a team to open a branch immediately.
When Joshua mentioned the branch, the aged businessman became interested.
The scale and operation method of Hearthstone Tavern far surpassed all Nolan's taverns, and the daily profit can be described as sky-high compared to the money Mrs. Malina earned in business before.
This made Mrs. Marina always want to open the branch of the tavern outside Nolan, and today Joshua fulfilled the businessman's wish.
But when she followed Joshua to a dwarf gathering place underground in Nolan, plus a space teleportation, she finally came to the place where the legendary "branch" was established.
When Mrs. Marina clearly saw the surroundings of the site selection, she had some doubts that Joshua was joking with him.
This street is full of decay, at least for hundreds of years, or even thousands of years, no one has lived.
Opening a branch of Hearthstone Tavern here? Could it be for ghosts
But Mrs. Marina did not feel the existence of any undead around.
"You can understand it this way. In short, this is the storefront. You will prepare everything you need to open the store later, and by the way, assign one or two servants you can trust to me."
Joshua narrowed the range of his magic shield a bit, allowing Ciri to transform the sunlight projected from above into a glowing original spar.
The architectural style of this street is very similar to Nolan's underground ruins. To outsiders, it may be that Joshua found a "small town with underground ruins".
"clear."
Madame Marina wisely did not ask unnecessary questions.
"I have reached an agreement with Frost Axe. After you arrive at the portal, he will send you back, and the cleaning will be left to me."
Joshua took Mrs. Marina to walk around the largest building on the street. This building is structured like a conference hall. The central lobby covers a very large area and has a second-floor structure.
Joshua could even turn it into a lavish casino if he could.
"Although there is no basement to store drinks and ingredients, if the portal can be opened every day, fresh ingredients can be purchased in Nolan, and this place can be used as a kitchen."
After checking the environment of the "branch", Mrs. Marina was very satisfied with the structure of the building, except... it was too desolate.
"Mr. Joshua, do you need me to send someone for cleaning? There are signs of damage in many places inside the building, and someone needs to be renovated." Mrs. Marina said with her fingers brushing the dust on the stone pillar.
"No problem, of course I hope the people you hire are 'reliable and obedient enough'."
After Joshua gave this order, Mrs. Marina returned to Nolan immediately. She was more talented and skilled than Joshua in terms of human resources deployment and shop opening.
The rest of Joshua is to wait for this building, which has been in ruins for many years, to become the most popular tavern on Arthur Crowe, the city in the sky.
…
The man in black has never had such a humiliating experience since he lived in the human world.
During his trip to the human world, he met many human beings with bad intentions, but their malice seemed so pale in front of the powerful magic of the high elves.
But this time, the space magic he was proud of was blocked by the chaotic magic of the defiler.
To make matters worse... He could only watch as the Defiler recruited troops from within Arthur Crowe and established their camp.
The man in black watched a group of humans carry a large amount of goods into Arthur Crowe through the portal, enough for them to stay in the city for more than half a year.
"Does the employer want to build a resting place for the adventurers of the underground ruins?"
"Don't talk too much! Hurry up and fix that stone pillar. I didn't give you so much money this time to chat."
The man in black quietly listened to the discussions of those humans, and he was unable to make any effective resistance under the surveillance of the blasphemer.
At this moment, the man in black began to miss those stern elf elders. Although some of their ideas are very old and stubborn, they are so stubborn that they can ignore the chaotic magic of this blasphemer. All the invading humans drive out Arthur Crowe!
It may be that the prayers of the man in black played a role. He was thinking about how to notify his fellow clan outside that when a human invaded the city, the man in black felt the breath of his own clan.
He raised his head suddenly, and was pleasantly surprised to see a figure in the distance of the street walking towards here quickly.
In Arthur Crowe, only the elders of the high elf are qualified to enter the Forgotten Land, but when the man in black saw the face of the high elf clearly, his inner expectations were instantly dashed.
Sindonar... the weakest of the high elf elders, even far inferior to him in terms of seniority.
But the man in black did not give up hope. He glanced at Qiao Xiu, who was commanding the establishment of the camp next to him, and walked quickly towards Elder Sindonar in the distance.
"Elder Sindonar! Stop!"
"Socoron? I'll talk to you later."
He directly passed the man in black, and then quickly came to Qiao Xiu.
"Joshua Arnold, I salute you on behalf of the Sacred Tree."
After Elder Sindonal came to Qiao Xiu, he practiced a common etiquette for high elves to Qiao Xiu.
"Are you the... High Elf elder you saw in Nolan last time?"
"Sindonar." He said his name with a rush in his voice.
"I'm curious you didn't call me a blasphemer like he did?"
Qiao Xiu glanced at the man in black behind Elder Sindonar, who was maintaining a sluggish posture, as if he did not understand why this elder was so familiar with Qiao Xiu.
"That's what the old generation of high elves called the Chaos Demons." Elder Sindonar said in a low voice, "This involves taboos in the past and history, and few people even our clansmen can touch."
"It's the dark history of the past again... Then what are you trying to do here? Warn me to return to Nolan?"
Elder Sindonal glanced at the human craftsmen in the distance, and a steady stream of supplies were transported to the dusty streets through the teleportation array.
The high elf elder clenched his fist slightly, and finally released it because of the white bird standing on Joshua's shoulder.
"I... I'm looking for Arthur Crowe's way of redemption." Elder Sindonar said in a deep voice.
