Josiah had no intention of staying in the Falosi Residence. After all, Mrs. Sizer had only given the residence to Josiah temporarily.
However, the only useful part of the residence that Josiah felt was the indoor garden.
When the World Tree of the Frost Elf matured in the future, Josiah could consider it as a temporary home.
It was already late at night when Josiah returned to the Hearthstone Tavern in a carriage. Madam Marina had already prepared dinner.
Hiri, who had not eaten anything since she followed Josiah to the Falosi Residence, sat at the bar and began to replenish her energy for the day.
"No need to be so impatient. No one's going to steal it from you."
Josiah looked at Hiri's bulging cheeks and handed her a glass of juice.
"I learned it when I was trying to survive in the forest."
Hiri replied after swallowing the juice in her mouth.
When he bid farewell to Carolee that night, Carolee gave Josiah a small gift that Josiah would never have expected.
Hiri, who had witnessed everything from the side, had no reaction at all. She even had a mysterious calmness about her.
"Miss Taylin! Is the story about the magic lamp in the Anarlock Desert true? May I ask which ancient book you read about it … "
"No … The magic lamp came from a fictional story."
The conversation behind him attracted Josiah's attention.
During this period of time, Taylin had become a familiar figure to the guests of the Hearthstone Tavern.
After opening the Voice of Noland, Taylin rarely sang in the Hearthstone Tavern. The crystal that recorded the music replaced her voice and reverberated throughout the tavern.
She also had more free time to practice broadcasting. When she wasn't broadcasting, Taylin would occasionally come to the first floor to help out, although most of it was to 'tease' Ino.
"Fiction? What a pity. I heard that the Adventurer's Association plans to visit the Anarlock Desert next time, "the man said with a sigh.
"I'm afraid the Adventurer's Association will be eaten by the Death Sandworms within a few days of entering the Anarlock Desert," an old dwarf said loudly.
Josiah then heard the mocking laughter of the dwarves in the tavern …
Many in the Noland's Voice section of the spellcaster forum were asking the same question: "Does the Magic Lamp really exist?"
There were even a number of textual critics who posted posts claiming that they had read countless books in the central library of Noland and had indeed found a powerful ghost hidden in the depths of the Analloch Desert.
It seemed that in a world with magic, the fantasies and fairy tales on Earth were not that fake in the eyes of these spellcasters …
The same situation also appeared in the Hearthstone section. One of the posters was adamant that he had seen the Balrog King in the core of the underground lava.
As Josiah browsed through the Voice of Noland's section, a post caught Josiah's attention.
"Frost Elf Taylin, do you know how many World Trees there are in this world?" Poster: Sister Skotan.
The entire section was filled with discussions about the Magic Lamp and Aladdin. The post that directly asked Taylin about the World Tree was very eye-catching to Josiah.
Josiah clicked on it and skimmed through the content. It was a simple title that was repeated once, but the replies below were far more interesting than the post itself.
Among the replies, many of them recognized Sister Skotan, and the contents of their replies were surprisingly consistent.
"Miss Nun, you haven't written your diary for today."
"What does the World Tree of the elves have to do with your creation?"
"I'm meditating while waiting for Miss Nun to update today's diary."
"Tonight's Potion class will all depend on Miss Nun's diary."
Diary? Josiah remembered that Sister Skotan was the Heresy Adjudicator Shirley who returned from Noland to the Holy Kingdom.
She wrote a book called Diary of the Heresy Adjudicator on the spellcaster forum's Immovable Library. It was a bit like an early novel or a biography.
Unexpectedly, Diary of the Heresy Adjudicator was very popular on the spellcaster forum. Some spellcasters were waiting for the latest content every day.
She used Sister Skotan's account to post questions, and there was a row of posts urging her to update.
Although Shirley had become a slightly famous author on the spellcaster forum, she was still a member of the Church's Heresy Tribunal.
The Dark Elf once reminded Josiah that the World Tree of their race had withered because of the Heresy Tribunal.
"Mister Josiah, should I … answer her?"
Taylin had also noticed the post on Noland's Voice. She sat on the other side of Josiah and asked Josiah what he should do.
"Do you know how many World Trees there are in this world?"
In response to Josh's question, Taylin shook her head and gave a negative answer.
"The only fully grown World Tree I know of is the wood elves living in the Blackwood Forest — the elven race that Miss Carolee's guards belong to." Taylin said.
Blackwood elves. That gave Josiah a bad feeling.
According to the Dark Elf's description, the Heresy Tribunal was the cause of their race's World Tree's demise, and the Grey Fog that had been affecting Taylin appeared to be the Nephilic Judge's power.
Could it be that apart from catching the so-called 'heretics', these deranged fellows had also taken the time to cut down the elves' World Tree in the past few decades?
The reason the Heresy Tribunal would do that was still unknown. Josiah only hoped to get some useful information from the Nephilic Judge who had infiltrated the enemy's rear.
"Miss Shirley, I'm curious why you're asking about the elves' World Trees."
Josiah used the spellcaster forum's private message to send her a message that only she could see — a function that Josiah had not opened to the public at the moment.
Before the spellcaster forum was fully developed, Josiah had no intention of developing an instant chat tool for the time being.
Josiah's private message to Shirley was quickly answered, but the content was a series of ellipses.
"Who are you?"
Josiah received the private message after the ellipses. The Nephilic Judge was still unaware that Josiah's username on the forum was' Firelayer '.
"Someone who can help you."
