Chapter 651: Chapter 647, shooting begins (second update)
Translator: 549690339
Lady Marina has been busy again recently, with the Hearthstone Tavern under her care expanding from three branches in Nolan to four.
The Hearthstone Tavern branch in the Forsaken Lands of Arthur Crow has the most complicated management, in particular, Joshua recently gave an order to ‘find a few cooks and pastry chefs who are proficient in cooking, and let the Elves learn a thing or two.’.
As a dutiful merchant, apart from Tyreen, Madam Marina rarely knew about other elven races, let alone High Elves, who only existed in myths and legends.
However, when she personally went to greet these elves, Madam Marina discovered that these elves were all children who had a tough life.
“You haven’t even eaten a single candy in your entire life?”
Lady Marina held the hand of a young high elf, displaying an old lady’s unique skill, which was nagging.
Although the elves in front of her were several times older than Marina, they were still children psychologically.
The Young Elf who was held by Lady Marina’s hands looked a little embarrassed. If the person holding her hands was a human male, she could still resist.
However, facing this old lady, she could only patiently listen to Lady Marina’s various nagging.
There were a total of seventeen high elves who visited the Hearthstone Tavern. These High Elves were all from the faction of Elder Kuitoan. Some of them were high elves who had been caught in Joshua’s Tavern.
They came here with the intention of sacrificing themselves for Arthur Crow. Of course, there were also some elves who had the thought that they might be able to eat another piece of cake.
“Lady Marina, can we begin the lessons we need to learn?”
Elder Kuito was the leader of this elf team. He patiently listened to the human woman’s nagging for more than ten minutes, and finally, he could not help but hope that the lessons could begin.
“It’s about time. Today’s Teacher’s lesson is baking,”Lady Marina said.
“Baking?”
The Young High Elves looked at Elder Kuitoan in confusion. Before coming here, Elder Kuitoan only told them that they needed to learn some ‘human skills’.
At first, they thought that it was related to alchemy or magic, but these were what the High Elves were good at.
“This is also a complicated and profound skill,”elder Kuitoan said to the Young High Elves in a serious tone. “I tried it here alone yesterday, but I still haven’t made any satisfactory products. So I hope that you will study it as seriously as you do alchemy!”
“Yes… Elder.”
Under Kuytoan’s instructions, the elves began to learn how to knead a dough with a respectful and cautious attitude.
The kitchen of this Hearthstone Tavern was very lively. In comparison, the Hall of the tavern was much quieter.
“Are there still no Wild High Elves willing to come?”
Joshua stood in front of the bar counter and glanced at the empty hall. The hall, which could originally accommodate more than 100 people, could only hear Al’s laughter.
Aurelian and the man in black were recording new music in Nolan’s Silent Hall. Moreover, the manager of the Black Pigeon, thousand faces, the Dark Elf, really had the idea of inviting Aurelian to be a magazine model.
Jose had no reason to disagree with the Dark Elf’s idea, so Aurelian should be very busy in the near future.
In contrast, Al’s life was very comfortable. She only needed to sit in the Hearthstone Tavern every day, drinking drinks and playing games.
“If you don’t put bait, there won’t be any prey stepping on the trap. Well… the kind of prey that is so stupid that they would run to the trap to confirm what it is doesn’t count.”
Hiri glanced at Al who was playing happily in the corner of the Hearthstone Tavern in the distance.
“This is a good opportunity to finish the filming of the movie.”
Jose adjusted his camera and handed it to the daytime Banshees.
The filming of “The shining”was not long in Joshua’s plan. The ability of the day Banshees to cross any terrain meant that Joshua’s tedious steps in the production of the movie would be greatly reduced.
“Mr. Joshua… This place really makes me want to write a story for it.”
At this time, Sir White Thorn Flower came down from the second floor of the Hearthstone Tavern. Behind him were the actors of the troupe that participated in the performance of “The Shining.”.
“If I’m not wrong, is the theme the last glory of the Apocalypse? I know the scenery here is indeed quite stunning, but the shooting is about to begin. Are You Ready?”
When Joshua was about to perform a not-so-grand opening ceremony, the ground suddenly began to shake. The shaking was so great that Sir White Thorn Flower could not stand still and fell to the ground.
“Mr. Joshua? What Happened?”
Sir White Thorn Flower looked around in fear. This sudden shaking in the manor was very much in line with the setting of some supernatural novels where ghosts and monsters would appear.
“Let me ask.”Joshua summoned the consciousness of the world tree, and the white bird stopped on Joshua’s head to tell him the good news.
‘Arthur Crow is temporarily out of the control of the evil creature!’
“It seems that the high elves can celebrate openly.”Joshua walked to the White Thorn Knight who was lying on the ground. “But before that, we still have to finish filming ‘The Shining’as soon as possible.”
… ..
In the underground ruins in the frost country.
The dim light of the protocrystal illuminated the ancient ruins.
The ground of the ruins was full of human bones and magic guide dolls that had been turned into scrap metal. There were still no dried dark red bloodstains that seemed to tell of the tragedy that had happened here.
A large number of black-robed people gathered in the center of the ruins and knelt down.
The chained priest looked at the believers who knelt down. Their eyes revealed their desire for the golden potion in their hands.
“We prepared for the fall of the city that blocked the sky for 30 years. We sacrificed the lives of countless loyal believers for the Lord. Because of the world tree in that city, it was the only way for us to touch God.”
The priest slowly walked to one of the believers and half-knelt down, placing his hand on his shoulder.
“My dear child, I know you also want to witness the glory of the Lord, Right?”The priest asked softly, causing the eyes of the believers to gradually become fanatical. “Then go!”
The priest suddenly threw the potion in his hand out of the ruins, and the kneeling believers swarmed to the entrance of the ruins like a swarm of insects.
The moment he finished, a woman in a wheelchair appeared in the shadows of the ruins.
“We found the key to the root.”A strange voice echoed in the ruins.
The priest turned around and looked at the woman in the wheelchair, his voice filled with uncontrollable excitement.
“What did you say?”
“In the Frost Plains, the magic puppet named Heart Lock has absorbed a large amount of energy. This can only be done after it enters the source. There is a need to bring it back for investigation,”she said.
