The next morning, Qiao Xiu did not receive any contact from Sir Bai Jinghua. The choice of film actors was not something that could be determined in a day or two.
It is also difficult to find the three young actors in "The Shining", and Qiao Xiu can only count on the luck of Sir Bai Jinghua.
Joshua is now at the Hearthstone Tavern in Arthur Crowe. Four representatives from the high elves, Elder Quitoan, Elder Enya, and Al and Zhi Ye are standing in front of Joshua.
This is an ice-breaking negotiation to reunite after the relationship between the two races has broken down, and it is strictly enough to be recorded in human history.
But the representative of the human side...
"I'm just lying down like this, you shouldn't mind, right?"
Joshua lay on a woven rattan chair and looked at the ceiling above, with the expression "I'm so close to dying on the spot" written on his face.
"Mother Enya... Look! Pickled fish." Al whispered beside Elder Enya.
"Al pay attention to the occasion." Enya also reminded her apprentice, and looked at Qiao Xiu again.
The current Qiao Xiu's temperament is too different from when he confronted them!
"There are still many voices against you in our ethnic group." Elder Quitoan opened the topic first.
"Objection..." Joshua looked at the ceiling and closed his eyes, "Let them object, it won't affect me anyway, your holy tree let me stay here, you can't help..."
Qiao Xiu's sentence is equivalent to provocation, but it is helpless, but it is also a fact.
Arthur Crowe always welcomes the arrival of Joshua, even if the high elves establish space magic to block Joshua's entry, the World Tree can also invalidate it.
"After I came to your city, I first became a diplomat and then your media agent. Yesterday I worked as a screenwriter and programmer again."
Qiao Xiu let out a tired voice and slowly sat up from the rattan chair.
In fact, Joshua hadn't slept for almost two days.
"Now that Al, Aurelian, and the man in black are already famous in Nolan, your granddaughter can even produce a personal photo album. I think you should pay me some money."
Joshua's series of words made the two elders of the high elves very embarrassed. Joshua had done too much for Arthur Crowe, but the high elves had no way to repay.
This is also the reason why Elder Enya finally wavered.
"Pay... pay? You... how much do you want?"
Al immediately took out a small bag woven from bark and counted the gold coins inside.
After this girl became a well-known game video producer in Monet Vision, the daily reward was enough for her to eat and drink all day.
"That's still the salary I gave you... If you insist on being paid."
Qiao Xiu looked Al up and down, and found that the girl's figure was unexpected... Okay
"Al is just a young adult."
Suddenly, Elder Enya stood in front of his apprentice, staring closely at Joshua.
"If you need someone to serve, I have a more suitable person." Elder Enya said.
"Serve? What did you say?"
Joshua didn't understand the meaning of the elder elf's words.
"You are the one chosen by the holy tree... Son of the forest, our duty as priests of the holy tree is to serve the holy tree. According to tradition, our priests also have the duty to serve you." Elder Enya said something serious and made Qiao Xiu stunned for a moment. The words "I know that human beings are far more powerful than our family in terms of physical desire, so if it is sex..."
"Stop! Stop!"
Joshua immediately stopped the topic that the elder was talking about. Her voice sounded serious, but the content behind it could not be seen directly.
It seems that it is a wise choice to let Ciri continue to sleep in at Hearthstone Tavern.
"I'll consider the remuneration later, Al, you should still use the money to buy some food." Qiao Xiu rubbed his eyebrows and stood up slowly.
There is a round table between Joshua and the two elf elders. On the round table is the current map of Arthur Crowe, and there is also a detailed hand-drawn drawing of the Forgotten Land.
"After all the work, do you want to be a guest city planner again this time?" Joshua took out a pen and drew a few crosses on the Forgotten Land. "I'll tell you my next plan directly, in the Forgotten Land. There are a lot of buildings that could be refurbished and I'm going to recreate a whole new street here."
"Are you planning to let humans settle here?"
This plan of Qiao Xiu, even in the eyes of Elder Kuitoan, is still a little difficult to accept, or a little bumpy.
Athecro is a holy place for the high elves, and humans flock to it and take a corner as their own, and that alone is enough to make anyone feel unpleasant.
"The governance of the Forgotten Land is still yours, but I will build some new facilities and leave them to you to manage." Joshua said.
"New... facility?"
"Movie theaters, restaurants, video studios, idol development offices, Internet cafes, etc., I haven't thought about it yet." Joshua pointed to Al behind Quitoan and said, "Your holy tree will gradually recover to you. Energy supply, but it will not be maintained to the situation of 'never hungry' as before, which means that now you will feel hungry more frequently, although it is not three meals a day, but three meals a day is for sure."
"This is the test that the Holy Tree has given us..." Elder Enya said.
"It's not a test... it's my abduction... the way to recruit security!" Joshua drew a circle on the periphery of the Forgotten Land with a pen "I will build a food street here, let's call it that... You high elves have currency between you Is it?"
Elder Quitoan took out a leaf-shaped coin, and Joshua took the coin and figured it out. The face value on it was twenty-five.
"The currency minted in the past when Arthur Kroo was brilliant, we are also using it now." Elder Quitoan said.
"The workmanship is much finer than human money."
Joshua took out a coin minted by Nolan and compared it. The currency used by the high elves was obviously much more refined.
"How is your economic situation? Like... Does Zhiye usually have a source of income?" Joshua began to ask about the economic structure of the high elves.
Arthur Crowe is a city, but it is also a small country, but the population of the country is only more than 4,000 people. With such a small number of people, Qiao Xiu feels that he can maintain economic trade by bartering.
And the high elves don't have to eat yet, so in Joshua's view, it is an incredible thing for Arthur Crowe to trade by currency!
"My duty is to protect the priests, every forty days or so... about two silver leaves." Zhiye said.
"What do you usually buy with your own currency? Does Arthur Crowe have a store?"
"Accessories and furniture, as well as some drinks and vegetarian food." Zhiye pointed and said, "Sometimes I have to save money to replace my weapons."
"And a special store?"
"We exchanged it for the holy tree." Zhi Ye explained immediately after seeing Joshua's puzzled expression, "There is a magic machine in Arthur Crowe, you only need to put this currency in to buy what you like, holy The tree will distribute these currencies according to the work of each clan."
"Isn't this a vending machine?" Joshua felt that after coming to Arthur Crowe, his worldview of the world had begun to be a little confused.
