Inside the Hearthstone Tavern.
"Why are all these scripts so tragic?!"
Hiri was wiping away her tears as she held the script Josiah had just written. This brave Magician, who dared to fight a brown bear with her bare fists, did not cry like this when she was watching Beauty and the Demon and This Demon Is Not Too Cold.
"This … can only be considered a coincidence. Yes, a coincidence."
Josiah's new script was about the relationship between pets and humans.
However, this was only the first version of the script. Only a rough outline of the plot was enough to make this emotional Magician cry.
"Also, it will take some time before we can start filming this script."
Josiah planned to start filming the new movie after This Demon Is Not Too Cold was released in Falosi.
Josiah could contact Carolee through the Magic Net to learn about the progress of This Demon Is Not Too Cold's promotion.
Now, Josiah had to wait for Dark Elf Qianmian to return to Noland and officially establish the world's first news broadcast. He also had to start the production of the newest Hearthstone expansion pack, Gnomes vs Gnomes.
Josiah glanced at the post announcing the new Gnomes vs Gnomes card on the Spellcaster forum. The expansion pack was already very close to completion. All that was left were 17 new cards and the dubbing of all the cards. It would not be long before the game officially entered the Hearthstone Tavern.
Josiah and Hiri's conversation did not last long before a bat flew in from the window and interrupted them.
The moment Hiri saw the bat, she put down the script and picked up her staff. Pure white Glyphs of Order flowed out from the tip of the staff.
The Magician felt threatened by the bat …
A scarlet mist enveloped the bat. When the mist dissipated, the bat turned into the Inquisitor named Paster.
"Your Highness."
She bowed slightly to Josiah, but her scarlet eyes were fixed on Hiri.
Although she had absolute respect for Josiah who was a Chaos Devil, she didn't like the human caster, especially when Hiri also showed hostility towards her.
The Blood Breeds were proficient in special mental attacks. They could make a weak human lose the ability to fight just by looking at them.
"Miss Watcher, why are you looking for me so late at night? I think my sister is waiting for your reply. "
Josiah took a step forward and put his hand in front of Hiri, looking straight into Pester's eyes.
Behind the mask, the watcher's pupils were like two expensive rubies, but this type of enticement was fatal.
Josiah had never let down his guard against this watcher, even if she had recently appeared in the Hearthstone Tavern.
"I have bad news for you. The Church is planning an assassination, and the target is you," said Pester.
"Assassination?"
Before Josiah could answer, the Frost Elf Taylin pushed open the door to the study. She was holding a tray with a few delicious dishes on it.
"Mr. Josiah, your dinner … I … am I interrupting?"
Taylin saw Pester standing in Josiah's room. The Elves were naturally more sensitive than normal people, and she immediately sensed the thick smell of blood on Pester.
"It's nothing. Come in, you can listen too," said Josiah.
"Al … okay."
Taylin put the dinner on the table and ran to Hiri's side.
"Master Josiah, the assassins sent by the Church are not ordinary. Are you sure they will still choose to be loyal to you after knowing?"
Pester glanced at Taylin and Hiri … She had always been suspicious of the loyalty of this female mage and the Frost Elf.
After all, humans and elves were too prejudiced against demons, which led to Pester's prejudice against these two races.
"I don't know either. Just tell me," said Josiah.
"This time, the Church sent two Judges and twelve Inquisitors to assassinate you. The time is about a week from now. Also, allow me to remind you that there was once a human called the White Stream Duchy. The king of that country viewed the Church as an evil existence. He burned churches and executed their missionaries, but in the end, his head was hung on the city wall. It was said that this was done by the Church's Heresy Court."
Pester hoped to let Josiah understand how terrifying the Church's Heresy Court was.
"I know about this."
Josh was a reader of the "Diary of a Heretic Inquisitor". In that diary, he had written a detailed first-person account of the assassination that had shocked the world. That incident had only been carried out by twelve Inquisitors and three chief judges.
In a sense, Josiah's treatment was similar to that of a king of a kingdom.
"So please return to the Underworld with me. The weak defense of this tavern cannot protect your safety!"
Pester stated her request again, but Josiah turned to look at Taylin and Hiri.
"You heard her. Although I don't know if the information she said is true, it is certain that I will be wanted by the Church … You should remember the price of associating with demons, right?"
The restrictions that Josiah gave to Taylin and Hiri were very few. It was just a contract that relied on the Noland Business Association. It was useless in this life and death situation.
Although Taylin and Hiri were artists under Josiah, they were not warriors. There was no reason for them to die with Josiah … But …
"Mr. Josiah …"
Taylin was the first to speak. She shouldered the heavy responsibility of reviving her race. She did not want to be involved in the dispute between demons and the Church. But from the moment she signed the contract with Josiah, she was destined to stand on Josiah's side and participate in a war that ordinary people could not see.
"The Holy Tree Enluci is willing to protect you and chose to stand on your side, so I do not plan to escape."
The Holy Tree Enluci referred to the World Tree that was residing in Taylin's body. It already had its own consciousness, so of course it would give itself a name.
"Compared to the assassination, I am more concerned about when I will get my next month's salary."
Hiri was more realistic than Taylin. She did not feel much about the dispute between the Church and demons.
"It will probably be in the middle of next month. Hiri, do you have anything you want to buy recently … Hmm … I seem to have gone off topic."
Josiah turned his gaze back to Pester.
"Your Highness Josiah, with your current strength, it will be very dangerous to face the Nephilic Judge's attack. I can protect you and return to the Demon Realm safely."
Pester regretted not learning how to convince others. Although Josiah was thinking about how to deal with the Nephilic Judge's attack, he did not have any intention of returning to the Demon Realm!
"The Nephilic Judge's army? Fourteen … That's a bit too many, but it will be quite lively. "
"Lively?"
Pester did not understand how Josiah thought of this word.
"I'm not sure if the information you gave me is true, but you are very lucky because the new Hearthstone card pack" Goblins vs Gnomes "will be released in six days." Josiah said.
