The movie was finally over. Surprisingly, no one applauded this time. The screen began to show the credits of the actors behind the scenes.
None of the audience applauded out of politeness. Priest Olanca turned around and looked at the audience behind her. Each of them had a strange expression on their faces.
Some of the male actors of the White Thorn Flower Troupe were trying to hold back their tears, while the female actors had already taken out their handkerchiefs and started sobbing.
"That's great … Little Myna."
The other Blackwood Elf priests around Priest Olanca were also affected by the final outcome, and they all began to cry.
"The movie is over, sisters. Cheer up … Don't let the human see your weakness," Priest Olanca said, trying to comfort them.
"I know … But Priest Olanca …"
Priest Olanca could only let out a sigh when he saw them choking with sobs, unable to speak.
On the other hand, she and Elder Cephane were very calm. It wasn't that they weren't touched, but Priest Olanca was very good at controlling her emotions and suppressing the sadness in her heart.
She was going to negotiate with the human later, and it wasn't a good idea to do so with her eyes red.
The lights in the theater slowly lit up after a long time, but there were still many female audience members who couldn't control their emotions. Still, they expressed their praise for the movie with tears in their eyes.
Priest Olanca kept looking at the credits of the actors behind the scenes and memorized the names of all the music.
The Blackwood Elves had another name, which was "Chanter." They were responsible for the inheritance and singing of the most important books of the elves, "Elven Poetry." Priest Olanca was half a musician.
She liked the music in "The Loyal Dog Hachi" … She hoped that she could ask the human for the music after this.
The movie was over, and the audience gradually walked out of the theater. Priest Olanca didn't see Josiah among the crowd.
"Everyone … Mr. Josiah is waiting for you in the theater's study," a White Thorn Flower Theater attendant said as he walked in front of the elves.
"Please wait for a moment," Elder Cephane suddenly said.
Elder Cypher suddenly said. Carolee, who was next to him, had not recovered from her sadness. Perhaps Myna's death had resonated with Carolee.
That was the death of his old buddy, Brown Bear Art. Elder Cephane's face twitched a little when he thought about it, but he quickly returned to his expressionless face.
"Elder Cephane, if you can't recover from your sorrow, I can negotiate with that human alone."
Priest Olanca caught the slightest change in Elder Saffron's expression. Although the elderly Elder Saffron looked calm, he was actually suppressing his emotions … just like her.
"It's fine. I won't lose my composure in the following conversation. I admit that the movies made by humans are … excellent, but it doesn't affect me much," Elder Cephane said.
"…"
Priest Olanca couldn't believe the elder's promise, but Carolee had already adjusted her emotions.
"Frey … Bring her and the other priests to a resting place. I'll be right back."
Carolee gave an order to her elf guard, Frey.
The little girl with demonic blood had cried too hard, and she was exhausted after escaping from the abandoned mine, so she curled up in Frey's arms and fell asleep.
"I … understand."
Under the guidance of a theater attendant, Frey carried the unconscious little girl out of the theater, along with nine other elven priests.
Caroline, on the other hand, brought Priest Olanca and Elder Cephalon to the study that the servant had mentioned.
The study wasn't far from the theater. After the attendants of the White Thorn Flower Theater brought Caroline to the door of the study, they bowed and left.
Caroline was about to turn the doorknob to open the study, but Priest Olanca stopped her.
"Please wait, Daughter of the Forest …" Priest Olanca said.
"What's wrong?" Carolee turned to look at the two Blackwood Elves behind her, and found that they had strange expressions on their faces.
"No … I … was just thinking about how to communicate with that human," Priest Olanca said, her heart shrouded in shame.
This was the first time in her life that she had lied to the World Tree! Furthermore, this lie was for a very boring reason.
Relying on the powerful hearing of the Blackwood Elves, Priest Olanca heard soothing music echoing in the study. This music was one of the soundtracks for "The Loyal Hound of Hachi".
Having just finished watching the movie, hearing the soundtrack made Priest Olanca recall the plot of the movie.
She had suppressed her emotions with great difficulty, but they were almost triggered by these memories. If she hadn't been mentally prepared and organized Carolee to open the door, she wouldn't have been able to do so.
Perhaps after entering the room and negotiating with that human, she could only wipe away the tears that flowed out of the corners of her eyes.
This would not only be disadvantageous to the negotiation, but it would also damage the dignity of the Blackwood Elves!
"Don't worry, Mr. Josiah isn't … a bad person." Carolee didn't know what to say about the Chaos Demon. After thinking for a while, she said, "One thing is for sure. The Church is definitely Mr. Josiah's enemy!"
"That human views the Church as an enemy?"
Elder Saffron waited for the Elven Priest to sort out her emotions. Before that, he wanted to know more about Josiah from Carolee.
"Yes, please believe me when I say that Mr. Josiah will definitely stand on the Blackwood Elves' side when it comes to dealing with the Kingdom of Saint."
Carolee's tone was no longer weak and tearful after watching the movie. She knew that this visit to Noland was not just for the premiere of a new movie.
There was also … revenge. Revenge against the Kingdom of Saint.
"Is that so? I hope it's as the Daughter of the Forest said. "Elder Saffron looked at the Elven Priest beside him.
"Olanca, please let this negotiation …"
"My heart is not that weak. Please open the door. That movie can no longer affect my emotions."
Olanca regained her expressionless face. This negotiation could very well affect the rise and fall of the Blackwood Elves.
"May the Holy Tree, Naruhi, guide us."
With this promise, Carolee could only open the door to the study.
They walked in, and the entire room was filled with the background music of 'The Loyal Hound'. However, Olanca's heart did not waver. She looked at Josiah who was sitting behind the desk.
"It's an honor …"
Olanca looked at Josiah. Just as she was about to greet this human using the Blackwood Elves' etiquette, she heard a 'woof, woof!'
It was no illusion. The Olanca priest saw a yellow field hound run out from under the desk and pounce on Caroline, wagging its tail.
