Taylin walked nervously to the commercial street in front of the Noland's National Theater.
The reason for her unease was not only because she was going to discuss the contract with a demon, but also because Josiah had agreed to meet her in a tavern.
In her opinion, taverns were chaotic and dangerous places. Drunkards did not have any sense of reason, and taverns were also places where dangerous people of unknown origins mingled.
Elves rarely appeared in taverns, let alone a lone female Elf in the middle of the night. Taylin had even considered how to hide her appearance before entering the tavern.
But when she arrived at the entrance of the Hearthstone Tavern, she realized that it was all unnecessary. The entrance to the tavern was not in a dark alley, but right next to a bustling commercial street.
Taylin stood at the entrance of the tavern without pushing the door open. She could vaguely hear the noise inside through the window, and the tavern was filled with a warm glow.
"You're too late! There must be no seats left now. "
"Whoever loses will leave. A true Hearthstone player will never be afraid of not having a seat."
Two spellcasters in light blue robes walked past Taylin.
From their attire and temperament, they seemed to be the kind of spellcasters with profound knowledge. Even when they noticed Taylin, they did not seem surprised because Taylin was an Elf. Instead, they politely nodded and walked into the tavern.
Taylin did not expect that the tavern would attract Spell Casters. Was this not a place filled with tasteless drunkards and some cunning bandits and criminals?
Puzzled, Taylin followed the two spellcasters into the tavern. When she opened the door, she did not smell the stench of alcohol and vomit. Instead, she smelled an unknown fragrance. This fragrance was a little like the warm smell of cooked wheat. It was very comforting.
The layout of the tavern was also a little different from what she had imagined. Luminous stones that emitted a warm hue were embedded in the ceiling of the tavern. The walls of the tavern were painted with simple oil paintings of flowers and leaves. This place was much more reassuring than those dark and messy taverns.
However, the guests in the tavern were as Taylin had expected. It was very chaotic, and most of the visitors were dwarves. They gathered in groups of three or four in front of a table and shouted at the top of their lungs, causing the entire tavern to be filled with the rough voices of dwarves, rising and falling one after another.
As an outsider who had not been here for long and had not yet integrated into the lively atmosphere of the tavern, the voices of the dwarves arguing and discussing were too noisy.
However, there were many humans among the dwarves. What made Taylin even more shocked was that she even saw a Holy Army!
Wait a minute … Isn't this a tavern where demons reside? Could it be that the Holy Army discovered the demon's hiding place and sent people to hunt him down?
However, this idea was immediately rejected by Taylin in the next second because she saw the Holy Army sitting at a special table in the tavern. After shouting 'the holy light shall punish you', she let out a small cheer.
This was definitely not the behavior of a Holy Army on a hunting mission. She looked more like a customer of this tavern, and a regular one at that.
If the Holy Army was here, as a demon, Josiah should be hiding, right?
Taylin looked around, hoping to find some informant to get in touch with Josiah, but she did not expect that the demon was sitting in front of the bar and drinking his drink!
After Taylin saw him, Josiah warmly waved at her.
This … Taylin instantly realized that she was in the middle of the conflict between the Holy Army and the demon.
She quickly walked to Josiah's side.
"You came earlier than I thought."
This elf girl came on the same night. It seemed like she had high awareness and was worth training.
Josiah asked the waiter hired by Madam Marina to serve the Frost Elf a glass of juice and placed it on the bar.
"My treat. Drink it. It's non-toxic and non-polluting."
Josiah could guarantee that there were no pesticides in this world, but there was a curse that was more dangerous than pesticides.
"Mr. Josiah, over there …"
Taylin was not in the mood to drink juice. She kept pointing at the position of the Holy Army.
From Taylin's point of view, the reason why Josiah was so calm was because he did not notice the Holy Army, and the reason why the Holy Army was so engrossed was because she did not notice the demon, Josiah.
The relationship between the Holy Army and the demon had always been one of life and death. The moment they met, Taylin felt that this tavern would become a battlefield.
"Messiah? What about her … Do you Frost Elves have any prejudice against the Holy Army? "
Not us Elves! You demons should have a huge prejudice against the Holy Army!
Why did Taylin feel like Josiah was very familiar with the Holy Army?
"I … roughly understand what you mean."
Josiah looked at the Frost Elf who kept gesturing with her hands as if she was urging Josiah to pack up and run.
"Let me introduce myself first. I am the investor of this tavern. In short, I opened this tavern."
Josiah gave a very simple explanation, but it made the Frost Elf fall into a daze again.
"Then … Why would the Holy Army stay in this tavern …"
"They are guests. It's that simple. Miss Taylin, this tavern welcomes all guests as long as they are not hostile … Regardless if they are Holy Army or demons."
Taylin listened to Josiah's words. If it was before, she would never believe that the Holy Army and demons could stay in the same place. But now, she saw it with her own eyes.
"I have to admit, Mr. Josiah, this tavern is indeed a little unbelievable."
"If you are willing to work with me in the future, I will let you see even more unbelievable things. My workplace is above this tavern. If you don't mind, let's go upstairs and talk about you."
Josiah carried the drunk Hiri. Even though she was unconscious, when Josiah carried her, Hiri subconsciously wrapped her arms around Josiah's neck.
This scene was seen by Taylin. This human girl's feelings for Josiah were not ordinary.
