Taylin followed Josiah to the second floor of the tavern. She was ready to activate her bracelet.
If there was any danger upstairs, she would immediately return to the bedroom in the Falosi Mansion through the magic inscribed on the bracelet.
But when she reached the second floor, she realized that her worries were unnecessary. This place was much simpler than what Taylin had imagined.
There was no magic circle filled with evil energy, nor were there any cauldrons filled with all sorts of ominous objects. It was just a very ordinary residence.
Josiah pushed open the door to his office. There was a bed inside, and Josiah could only temporarily place the unconscious Hiri on the bed.
"Since you're here, does it mean that you're ready to sign a contract with me?"
Josiah turned around and looked at the elf who was standing at the door. She seemed a little reserved at this moment. Her long ears trembled like a rabbit's, as if she would run away at the first sign of trouble.
"Can I … Can I see the contents of the contract?"
Taylin was constantly on guard against any magical fluctuations, including the subtle sound of footsteps. But the most she could detect was the noise below the tavern.
"No problem."
Josiah found an employment contract on his desk. In the words of Earth, it was a work contract. This contract was drawn up by Josiah a few days ago, and it was a general contract for this entertainment company.
Unfortunately, Josiah's entertainment company only had Hiri now. But this Frost Elf was very likely to become the second person.
Taylin carefully took the contract from Josiah. When her hand touched the contract, it was a little like touching a bomb that could explode at any time.
However, Taylin was surprised to find that the contract didn't have any malicious curse or magical aura at all.
She had absolute confidence in her senses. She could even sense the slightest bit of magical aura on any object.
But now, it was only a very ordinary piece of paper in her hand. At most, there were only a few lines of words written on it.
Could it be that there are traps in other places?
Taylin skimmed through the contents of the contract. In her imagination, there was no such thing as' offer your life ',' become the demon's slave forever ', and so on, which were commonly seen in rumored demon contracts, but she did not see a single one.
This was just a very ordinary employment contract. The conditions inside were also very generous, and even the working hours were not specified.
"Entertainment … guild?"
Taylin repeated the strange phrase on the title. She had thought that Josiah was the manager of a troupe, but it did not seem to be the case.
"You can think of it as another form of business guild, but we sell music, paintings, games, movies, and so on …"
"Then … what do I need to do for this guild?"
The contract in Taylin's hand did not specify the content of her work. There were only a few confidentiality agreements and the ownership of patents and so on. At the bottom of the contract, there was a wax stamp of the Noland Chamber of Commerce, which meant that this contract was protected by Noland's laws.
"That depends on what you do."
Josiah's question stumped Taylin.
She opened her mouth and found that she could not say anything. She found that Josiah did not seem to need the abilities that the elves were most proud of, be it archery or frost magic.
"I'm confident in my singing."
But she quickly found what she was good at. The elves lived in the forest and sometimes needed to communicate with the local fairies. These creatures that came from the ancient trees and plants would be attracted by beautiful singing.
Even the consciousness born from the World Tree was the same … So Taylin had absolute confidence in her singing. After all, when the World Tree of her race was still a towering ancient tree, she relied on her singing to attract the consciousness of the World Tree to listen.
"A singer? Then please perform a live performance. Just a few short sentences will do. Anything will do. "
Josiah immediately thought of the Blackwood Elf. Back in the garden of the Falosi Mansion, the Blackwood Elf also used her singing to attract the black cat.
Perhaps this Frost Elf could summon a white cat when she sang?
In the face of Josh's request, Taylin didn't hesitate in the slightest. She took a deep breath, and just as she was about to sing a "let it go," she felt something stuck in her throat.
What followed was a feeling of weakness that made her eyes blur.
Oh no … Taylin covered her forehead and took a few steps back. She stretched out her hand to hold on to the wall beside her, but there was nothing there. This caused her body to lose balance and fall to the ground.
This feeling of weakness became more and more frequent as time passed. This was also the reason why Taylin was so eager to find nourishment for the World Tree.
Taylin supported her body and wanted to stand up, but her body's consciousness was gradually leaving her.
It would be fine if she fainted in the room of the Falosi Mansion, but she was now beside a demon!
Fainting in such a defenseless state, Taylin did not know what would happen when she woke up.
Despair grew in Taylin's heart. She tried her best to circulate her mana to resist this feeling of weakness, but her mana was slowly being nibbled away by an unknown force.
Taylin's vision gradually fell into darkness, and finally, her consciousness was swallowed by the darkness.
Josiah looked at the unconscious Frost Elf with a dumbfounded expression. Hiri who was originally lying on the bed also coincidentally woke up at this time.
Hiri's consciousness was recovering very quickly, probably due to the mana in her body.
So Hiri's gaze swept back and forth between Josiah and the unconscious Frost Elf for a while.
"Although you might not believe it, I didn't do anything and she fainted on her own."
Josiah spread his hands innocently, but judging from the suspicious expression on Hiri's face, if this was Earth, she would probably take out her phone and call 110.
"Don't bother explaining … How do we deal with this Frost Elf?"
Hiri sighed with an expression of understanding. After all, she was also someone who had been abducted by Josiah in the past, but now she had become his accomplice.
Hiri had already prepared herself to board this pirate ship … Or rather, she had prepared herself to follow a demon, which was the legendary "reaching an agreement with criminals".
"Alright, alright. First, carry her to the bed."
Josiah was too lazy to explain. Since Hiri had already woken up, he could not let this seemingly sick Frost Elf sleep on the floor.
"And then strip her?" Hiri pulled up her sleeves as if she wanted to do it herself.
"No! We are legal businessmen, we don't do such things … Ugh, at least not now. "
