Noland, Hearthstone Tavern.
Josiah's study was successfully taken over by the Falosi's Flower this morning. Before the morning news even started, Carolee brought the Blackwood Elf Priestess, Olanca, and her elven guards to the Hearthstone Tavern.
Of course, their goal was to continue the 'new world exploration' that was left unfinished last night.
"Frey, you need a shovel for digging …" Carolee gave some advice to Frey, who was a newcomer to the game.
"But … Milady, how do I use a shovel?"
"I'll throw you one."
Carolee had now become a qualified 'new world explorer', even if it was only in the game.
Just like last time, Josiah leaned against the door and watched the four girls play around the long table in the study. However, the position of the Elven Priestess had been replaced by Carolee's guard.
"The Maiden of the Grove seems to like it here." Priest Olanca's voice suddenly sounded.
Josiah turned his head to look at the Elven Priestess standing outside the study. The Blackwood Elf Grand Elder Cephane was also present.
"Carolee just likes the game."
Josiah straightened his body and closed the door to prevent the following conversation from interrupting Carolee's exploration of the new world.
"But if Carolee continues like this, I won't be able to give an explanation to Mrs. Sizer in Falosi." Josiah said.
"Lady Sizer will thank you for your protection, Child of Chaos." Elder Cephane said.
"I'm talking about Carolee's addiction. Games made by inscriptions have a slight chance of becoming addictive. Mrs. Sizer will not allow her daughter to indulge in a fictional world."
Josiah glanced at the clock in the tavern.
It was not yet time for the morning news, but Carolee had already brought Priest Olanca to the Hearthstone Tavern.
"Addiction …" Priest Olanca murmured.
"I think it's because everything about Noland is too novel for Carolee and our people, so they're curious about it."
While Priest Olanca was trying to convince Josiah, he was also trying to convince himself …
Recently, the other eight elven priests under her command had been behaving strangely. At first, these young elven priests were fearful of a world full of humans.
Today, two of the youngest elven priests had begun to 'gather intelligence' on the streets, or to put it simply, they were shopping.
Priest Olanca even heard that they had made a few friends on the spellcaster forum.
These new changes gave Priest Olanca a bad feeling.
"Alright, I believe in the self-control of the rumored Flower of Falosi." Josiah did not think that Carolee's current achievements were solely based on her appearance.
"What do you plan to do next? After the World Tree sprouts, will you take Carolee and leave Noland to return to Falosi? Or will you stay here for a while? "Josiah asked.
"My people are eager for me to return with the reborn holy tree."
Priest Olanca looked at the study. Through the wooden walls, she could still see the seed of the World Tree residing in Carolee's body.
The seed was growing at an unimaginable speed.
"It's hard to accept, but Noland can give the holy tree more fertile soil. I plan to stay here with my sisters for a while. So, Child of Chaos, we hope to find a way to speed up the growth of the holy tree," Priest Olanca said.
Hooked! Josiah secretly clapped his hands when he heard this answer.
Josiah could easily translate the 'speed up the growth of the holy tree' that Priest Olanca was referring to as' please make us popular! '
Josh didn't think that it would be difficult. All of these Blackwood Elves were good-looking, and they could sing and speak well. They had the potential to become idols.
If they were willing … Josiah could indeed think of a way to make these Dark Wood Elves walk a completely different path for the sake of the holy tree's growth.
"This depends on the person." "If you don't mind, I'll go to the Falosi Mansion this afternoon for an 'interview' with the other elven priests. After that, I'll be able to come up with a feasible plan." Josh smiled at the hopeful Dark Wood Elf Priest and said, "If you don't mind, I'll go to the Falosi Mansion for an 'interview' with the other elven priests.
As soon as Josiah finished his sentence, the Dark Elf who was in charge of the daytime news walked in from another room and interrupted Josiah's conversation with the two Dark Wood Elves.
"Josiah, a scout from Black Pigeon told me that they saw the Holy Army of the Holy Kingdom outside the city."
The Dark Elf took out a raw crystal and handed it to Josiah.
Josiah infused mana into the raw crystal, and a picture of the outside of Noland appeared.
Ever since the Dark Elf became a reporter, she had roped in a few trusted aides from Black Pigeon to join her team. Josiah also gave them a salary, insurance, and other benefits as promised.
"It looks like a very small team."
Josiah didn't know why the Holy Kingdom would send the Holy Army to visit Noland at this time, but unfortunately, the Demon Realm emissary sent by Josiah's sister, Cersei, had also arrived in Noland today. Moreover, the location of their entry into the city was coincidentally near Squirrel Street.
If the Holy Army and the Demon Realm emissary met, there was a high chance that an uncontrollable conflict would break out.
"As expected, I should have Zenas build the teleportation gate in the Dwarven city. Now … Qianmian, help me find a carriage. I'm going to Squirrel Street later. "
Josiah planned to go directly to Squirrel Street to welcome the Demon Realm emissary so that they wouldn't start a street fight with the Holy Army in Noland.
"Son of Chaos, do you need help?" Elder Cephine asked.
The Dark Wood Elves and the Holy Kingdom were already mortal enemies. Elder Cephine wouldn't show any mercy when he slapped the Holy Army with his bear claw.
"The Holy Army wouldn't dare to mess around in Noland. I'm just going to Squirrel Street to welcome some friends from my hometown. Elder Cephine, you should stay here and protect Carolee."
Josiah didn't rule out the possibility that the Holy Army would bring a few Inquisitors with them. Those elusive Assassins were the ones that he really needed to be wary of.
At this time, Hiri, who was staying in Josiah's room, suddenly opened the door and walked out. She was holding a staff in her hand. It seemed like she had been eavesdropping on the conversation between Josiah and the two Dark Wood Elves.
"Should I say something like 'there's a fight coming, count me in' at a time like this?" Hiri waved the spear-like staff in her hand.
