Noland, Alchemy Market.
Josiah was preparing to find the protagonist of "The Loyal Hachi".
Fortunately, with the help of Frost Elf Taylin, Josiah quickly found a store selling hounds in the messy Alchemy Market. He also found a hound that fit the image of Hachi.
"It … doesn't look very happy."
Taylin picked up the yellow puppy. The puppy turned its head away as if it didn't like Taylin, which hurt Taylin.
Elves were close to nature. When Taylin lived in the forest, she couldn't tame some animals, but it was easy for her to get close to them.
"It … seems to dislike you."
Josh mercilessly added insult to injury. This yellow puppy's expression when it looked askance at someone was really suitable to be posted on the spellcasters' forum as an emoticon.
"Am I really that annoying to animals?" Taylin tried to communicate with the puppy, but it just smacked its lips and continued to look at Taylin without saying a word.
"Customer, this is a field hound from the Eastern Kingdom. It is said that their owners are destined from the moment they are born," the owner of the store explained.
"This puppy does have some special aura, although it's not magic."
Josiah glanced at the other puppies in the cages below. They all came from the same mother, but Josiah picked this one at a glance.
There was indeed an 'unusual' feeling about it. Perhaps the expressions that this puppy made had the talent to become a meme star …
"How much does this hound cost?" Josiah asked.
Although it seemed to dislike Taylin, it was at least very obedient. It didn't fight or cause trouble, which was very important for the filming of the movie.
The Hachi of the Loyal Hachi was very quiet when it was young. The other puppies in the cages were too energetic.
"Ten gold coins, sir. These puppies were brought back by my servant from a faraway kingdom in the east, so they are more expensive than the original hounds. Of course, if you think the price is too high, you can use other items to exchange for them."
The merchant said that this was a special feature of the Alchemy Market in Noland. This messy market sold almost everything. Spellcasters could directly set up stalls. Rather than using gold coins to trade, they preferred to use items to exchange.
The shop that Josiah visited was at the edge of the Alchemy Market. This shop originally sold eggs of various unknown creatures. Selling hounds was only a side business.
"Items? Like those? "
Josh didn't pay immediately because he saw two spellcasters using a black crystal when he entered the alchemy market. That crystal was the "card box" of Hearthstone.
"I need some Bloodsword Grass. Sir, do you play Hearthstone? It's a game unique to a tavern on the commercial street at the edge of the city center. "
"Of course …"
Josiah didn't expect this human merchant to be a Hearthstone player. Recently, the tavern's traffic had been increasing. Originally, Josiah could still recognize all the customers, but now it was difficult to do so.
"That's great!"
After hearing that Josiah was a Hearthstone player, the merchant's attitude became much friendlier.
"I hope to get a Warrior's Epic weapon card, Bloodhowl. Do you … have one?" he asked.
The Hearthstone Tavern had been open for three months in Noland. The card exchange system had gradually been established among the spellcasters in Noland.
Even in the dark, every card had a clear price tag.
"Unfortunately, I didn't bring a card box with me today." Josiah took out ten gold coins and handed it to the merchant. "And I remember that the Bloodhowl was sold in the tavern for twenty-seven gold coins each."
"This …"
The merchant was a little embarrassed that his intentions had been seen through by Josiah. However, after Josiah bought the puppy, he still gave Josiah a wooden basket and some puppy jerky.
Josiah and Taylin walked out of the tavern and returned to the carriage that the Knight Of The White Thorn had arranged for them.
"Mr. Josiah … Why do I feel that this puppy's cry is a little like … a bear?"
Taylin stroked the puppy's forehead, hoping that this would be the simplest way to increase its favorability.
However, the puppy continued to stare at Taylin with disdain. Even when the jerky was placed in front of it, it remained indifferent.
"It might be your imagination, but from today onwards, it will be called Little Myna."
Josiah ordered the carriage driver to head to the other side of Squirrel Street. The main actor of 'The Loyal Hachi' had been chosen. All that was left was to head to the set and prepare for filming.
The puppy seemed to have a slight reaction to the name Little Myna. It raised its head and looked around, but in the end, it laid down in the wooden basket dejectedly.
At this moment, a message popped up in Josiah's Weave. Josiah took a look at the name and realized that it was from Carolee.
When Josiah opened the message and skimmed through the contents, his mood became slightly heavy.
'The Church's Court of Heresy has attacked the Blackwood Forest. The entire forest has been turned into a sea of fire …'
As expected … Disaster has still descended?
Josiah glanced at the Frost Elf Taylin who was sitting opposite the carriage. Now, Josiah had already met two elves whose tribe had been destroyed by the Inquisitors. One of them was Taylin, and the other was a Dark Elf.
This time, the Court of Heresy's actions were almost instantaneous. In the morning, Josiah was still discussing the new movie with Carolee. In the afternoon, the Blackwood Forest was declared to have fallen.
Josiah did not even have the time to send any form of military support …
'Are you safe now? Is there anything I can do to help? '
Carolee was a talented actress. Josiah did not want 'This Demon Is Not Too Cold' to be her last work. Moreover, as a friend and ally, Josiah could not just watch her die at the hands of the Court of Heresy.
'I'm safe now. I just don't know if my mother and Frey are the same …'
From Carolee's message, Josiah inexplicably felt that she was in a terrible situation. Not only did she lose her personal guard in a disaster, but her family was also not by her side.
But this strong girl did not need Josiah's comfort …
'Mr. Josiah, not only did the Court of Heresy destroy the Blackwood Forest, they also pushed all the blame on the demons … There must have been missionaries spreading these rumors in Falosi. I have evidence of their invasion of the Blackwood Forest … Should I send this evidence to the camp or the spellcaster forum?'
The first part of Carolee's message made Josiah feel that it was a little tricky.
If the Church burned down the Blackwood Forest and slaughtered the elves, the demons would have to bear the blame even if they did not want to …
Because humans in the world were more willing to believe in the preaching of the Church than the demons, not to mention that the Church had 'witnesses', that is, the oral accounts of the survivors of the disaster.
The worst thing was that this would intensify the hatred between humans and demons … At that time, not only the Land of Frost and the Kingdom of Saint would be attacking the Realm of Demons.
But fortunately, Carolee, who made a guest appearance as a 'war reporter', performed well and recorded the evidence of the crimes committed by the Court of Heresy in the Blackwood Forest in the form of photos.
'Send it to the spellcaster forum, and I will put your post at the top … Carolee, do you need any help?'
'Help … I would like to see the new movie Mr. Josiah made.'
This message from Carolee made Josiah silent for a while, and then he quickly typed a reply to her.
