Night.
Josiah sat in the carriage heading back to the Hearthstone Tavern. Hiri could no longer resist the drowsiness and fell asleep on Josiah's shoulder.
Josiah could only relax his shoulders and let her sleep more comfortably since she had completely let down her guard against him. He also brushed his hand through her long silver hair.
An hour ago, the Dark Elf had already revealed some information about the Church's Court of Heresy to Josiah.
From what the Dark Elf had revealed and Josiah's own speculation, the Court of Heresy believed in the Evil Gods.
Although Josiah had used the Hearthstone Tavern in Noland to avoid the 'open conflict' with the Church, there would definitely be a lot of 'secret conflicts' after this.
For example, the Court of Heresy of the Church had been eliminated today. After a while, another wave of them would definitely come looking for trouble with Josiah.
Fortunately, from the Dark Elf's description, the danger of the Court of Heresy was that they could change into any human form and had an attack that could directly destroy one's consciousness.
The former Josiah had a human radar, and the former Head of the Court of Heresy, Qianmian, also known as the Dark Elf, had no effect in front of Josiah. If it were any other normal Inquisitors, Josiah was confident that he would be able to recognize them immediately.
The key was their unique attack.
'You'll know how painful it is after you've experienced it. It's like there are millions, no, millions of crazy monsters whispering in your ears. These whispers will make your brain feel like it's being sliced open bit by bit by a meat saw.'
The Dark Elf's warning and description echoed in Josiah's ears.
Furthermore, the Dark Elf had some talent as a storyteller. He had used that low and sinister tone to say it.
At that time, the draconians and the gray cat children in the tavern were so scared that they hugged each other, even their tails were entwined.
Although the Dark Elf had repeatedly reminded the Court of Heresy of the frightening mental attacks, Josiah did not take it seriously.
This was because these whispers could be dispelled by one's own 'positive emotions'.
To put it simply, when you were fighting against the Church's Heresy Court, when the judge used 'Spirit Shock' to try to make you fall into a state of confusion, you would take out your MP3 player, put on your headphones, and play the song 'Elysium Jodo' to make you immune to those damn whispers. Then, you would raise your greatsword and slash those lunatics who believed in evil gods.
This was just an example, but Josiah had already proved that it was feasible in the Black Pigeon Hotel.
The Court of Heresy was the Church's trump card. During the war with the demons, the Holy Army would not be the only ones active on the battlefield.
Perhaps … Josiah should look for his big brother stationed at the border of the Demon Realm to promote MP3 or lossless records? More directly, they wanted a battlefield DJ or something.
This way, they could effectively resist the threat of the Inquisitors from the Court of Heresy.
Moreover, Josiah needed to make the Frost Elf famous so that the World Tree could sprout as soon as possible.
If the Frost Elf wanted to become an idol singer, Josiah could promote music as a medium in this world.
But Josiah did not have that much time to slack off. First, he had to finish filming 'This Demon Is Not Too Cold' as soon as possible.
… …
After Josiah left the hotel, the Dark Elf went all the way to the attic on the highest floor of the hotel.
There were no windows in the attic, and there were no piles of junk. The space inside was very spacious. Rather than calling it an attic, it was more like an unknown secret room.
The Dark Elf walked into the attic. With a wave of her hand, the dust that had accumulated on the ground was blown away by a wave of magic, revealing the magic circle hidden under the dust.
She took out a few raw crystals filled with magic and placed them at the four corners of the magic circle. Then, she half-knelt in front of the magic circle.
The magic circle began to emit a dark light. The Dark Elf felt the black dove mark on her neck gradually began to heat up. The magic overflowing from the mark flowed into the magic circle, and a shadow appeared above the magic circle.
"What's the result?"
The ethereal voice echoed in the Dark Elf's ears. She did not raise her head to look at the owner of the voice. Instead, she followed the owner of the voice and reported the recent events in Noland to him.
"In the end, he is still unwilling to return to the main city?"
"I've tried my best to tell Lord Josiah about the dangers of the Court of Heresy."
In front of the shadow, the Dark Elf did not dare to address Josiah as "you" or by his name. Instead, she directly addressed him as "Lord".
"But he is still stubbornly obsessed with the production of that movie. If he continues to stay in Noland, I can't guarantee his safety with my own ability."
"Do you think that movie is interesting?"
However, the next sentence of the owner of the voice stunned the Dark Elf.
Movie? Interesting?
If the movie here was referring to 'Beauty and the Demon', the Dark Elf would definitely shake her head and deny it.
But now, the person was definitely asking about the movie 'This Demon Is Not Too Cold'.
Although the Dark Elf did not want to admit it, she still wanted to answer, 'It's not just interesting, it's simply too f * cking interesting.'
As a long-lived race, the Dark Elf had a much longer lifespan than ordinary humans. Over the years, she had experienced too many unbearable things, and the most unforgettable one was the pain of the extinction of her race.
After experiencing so much, the Dark Elf thought that she could already be considered a 'cold-blooded and ruthless' killer.
But the story of 'This Demon Is Not Too Cold' had touched the softest part of her heart.
But fortunately, she had already met a girl who looked like Matilda, just like Leon in the movie.
"I can't deny that it is indeed very attractive."
She spoke her mind honestly.
"Attractive? It was only a few years ago when I saved you, Qianmian … I'm also starting to wonder what kind of existence the 'movie' that can move you is. "
The Dark Elf heard a little anticipation in the voice, which made her raise her head slightly and look at the blurry shadow in the center of the magic circle.
"That … movie isn't finished yet."
When the Dark Elf thought of the scenes she watched today, she felt a particularly bad feeling in her heart. But considering her position and personal reasons, she could not put down her pride and ask for the movie script from Josiah.
So she could only wait silently for the movie to finish shooting.
"It's okay, I'm used to waiting."
"But … aren't you going to order him to return to the capital?"
This time, the Dark Elf was prepared to force Josiah to return to the Demon Realm. Although Josiah did not have any reputation or substantial status in the Demon Realm, he was still a demon prince.
