The next day, the National Noland Theatre.
It was Josiah's first time at the National Noland Theatre. Compared to the White Wattle Theatre, the scale of this theatre was more than twice as large.
The style of the architectural design and the various fine micro-sculptures revealed a kind of 'luxury' atmosphere.
And this extremely luxurious building was bought by the Knight Of The White Thorn at a high price yesterday.
"I think it wouldn't be too strange to draw the word 'demolish' on the stone pillars now."
Hiri looked around. The popularity of this theatre was on the other end of the spectrum compared to the White Wattle Theatre.
At this time, the entrance of the White Wattle Theatre was already occupied by a large number of fans who wanted to watch the movie. It was difficult for Hiri to squeeze in from the main entrance.
On the other hand, the entrance of the National Noland Theatre was filled with a kind of loneliness. It was impossible to see the glorious scenery when the lights were brightly lit.
Not only was there no attendant at the entrance to welcome him, but even the door was closed. If he stayed any longer, there would definitely be spider webs between the stone pillars and the beams.
"The National Noland Theatre has been in this city for some time. It's a pity to demolish it."
Josiah walked towards the closed door of the National Noland Theatre. The door seemed to have its own 'eyes'. After 'seeing' Josiah's arrival, the door that had been closed for a whole month slowly opened.
"Mr. Josiah …"
The new owner of the National Noland Theatre, the Knight Of The White Thorn, walked out of the door. Although he tried his best to suppress the expression on his face, one could still see the joy of 'killing an old rival' between his brows.
"Can I now call you the new owner of the National Noland Theatre?" Josiah asked.
"The procedures for the transfer of ownership of the theatre have not been completed yet, but the original owner has left."
When the Knight Of The White Thorn said this, a trace of solemnity flashed across his face.
The original owner of this theater was a businessman named Sarinya. This businessman had once forced the White Thorn Flower Theater to the brink of bankruptcy.
With the help of Josiah, the Knight Of The White Thorn brought the White Thorn Theatre back to life and devoured the Noland National Theatre. It could be said that he had gotten his revenge.
"Uh … Can you save the time to reminisce about your opponent?" Josiah said, "I'm here to find out how far the preparations for 'Singer of the World' have progressed."
"This … Mr. Josiah, please come with me."
The Knight Of The White Thorn immediately put away his solemn expression and guided Josiah into the Noland's National Theatre.
Inside the National Noland Theatre, many people dressed as attendants were busy. They were transforming the theater into a more suitable aesthetic for the Knight Of The White Thorn.
"Your Highness Josiah, are you going to transform this theater into a movie venue?" The Knight Of The White Thorn suddenly asked while leading the way.
"A movie theater? I have indeed considered it. After all, during the premiere of 'The Loyal Dog Hachi', the White Thorn Flower Theater would probably be overwhelmed by the crowd, right? "
Although Josiah did not personally attend the premiere of 'The Loyal Dog Hachi', from Hiri's description, the scene may be no different from the famous' Largest Human Migration Event 'on Earth.
"Indeed … that is a terrible memory." The Knight Of The White Thorn wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, as if he still had some lingering fear.
"But unfortunately, I do not intend to use the National Noland Theatre as a movie theater for the time being, but … a television station." Josiah said.
"A … TV … station?"
The Knight Of The White Thorn repeated the awkward-sounding noun that Josiah uttered.
"You can also call it the Magic Television Station. Simply put, the world's chanters will be held here."
While Josiah was talking to the Knight Of The White Thorn, the Knight Of The White Thorn had already brought Josiah and Hiri to a room with a huge table.
There was a map of Norland on the table. The map was made of sheepskin scrolls, and it depicted the scenery of Norland in great detail. Even the names of the shops were marked in tiny words on it.
"Mr. Josiah, according to your instructions, I have negotiated with a total of 42 pubs and shops in Noland. Two-thirds of the shops have agreed to install the magical machine in their shops. As for the other shop owners that you mentioned as' bad characters', we have adopted the method of purchasing them."
The Knight Of The White Thorn pointed at the red marks on the map. These marks represented that if the residents of Noland wanted to watch the television programs, they would have to go to these fixed places to watch.
"Did you encounter any difficulties with the purchase?" Josiah also saw a few crosses on the map.
"Not for the time being. Madam Marina's ability in business negotiations is really daunting." The Knight Of The White Thorn suddenly sighed and said softly, "It's a pity that the age difference between me and Madam Marina is too big."
Of course, Josiah and Hiri heard the Knight Of The White Thorn's mutterings. Josiah exchanged glances with the spellcaster lady and Hiri covered her mouth with her hand to hide the smile on her face.
Josiah poked the Knight Of The White Thorn's arm.
"Don't mind her. If you have a good impression of her, feel free to give it a try. Madam Marina has been living alone for a long time. Her age is not a problem."
Josiah saw through the Knight Of The White Thorn's true thoughts.
Lord Barrowflower was in his forties, while Madam Malina was in her sixties, almost as old as Gushy.
She might be old enough to enjoy her old age on Earth, but the average lifespan of humans in this world was about 100 years old, and it wasn't a problem for those with longevity to live up to 200 years old.
Moreover, Madam Marina took good care of herself. Even though time had left a lot of traces on her face, one could still see her youthful charm.
"This … Mr. Josiah … I …"
Although the Knight Of The White Thorn had reached an extremely high level of artistic attainments, he was still as shy as a little boy when faced with emotional problems in reality.
It was hard for Josiah to imagine how the Knight Of The White Thorn had lived for more than 40 years. Could it be that the person beside him was the legendary 'Great Magician'?
"There aren't many opportunities. Don't care about what others think. That's all I have to say. Next … can you tell me what these marks mean?"
Josiah pointed to a few huge red marks on the map. One of the circles was drawn on Roursk Higher Magic Academy.
"I've gone to the four higher magic academies in Noland to discuss about the magic-guided machine, but in the end, only Roursk Higher Magic Academy agreed to install a 'television' in their academy. The other three academies rejected this proposal," the Knight Of The White Thorn said as he rubbed his left wrist.
"Even the sage who majored in the system of the God of Thunder and Punishment personally chased us out. At that time, I suffered a little."
"Clothier Magic Academy? There must be a few sages in Noland who don't approve of what I've done in Noland. "
Josh stared at the other academy across from the Gray Robed Elder's Advanced Magic Academy.
Everything that Josh had done recently was equivalent to setting off a revolution in the Norland Empire, and there weren't many rulers who wished for such a revolution to take place.
Until now, not a single sage had come looking for trouble with Josiah. One of the main reasons was that the changes that Josiah had made to Noland were indeed good things.
Another reason was that the Gray Robe Elder was protecting Josiah from behind the scenes.
"Mr. Josiah … The other three academies …"
"Don't worry about that. Although they can stop the 'television' from being moved into their academies, they can't stop the students from watching it."
When Josiah was still in school, he had climbed over the wall to visit the internet café many times.
"I have a class in Roursk Higher Magic Academy in the afternoon. Knight Of The White Thorn, find some time to arrange the information of the contestants for the 'Singer of the World' competition for me."
Josiah placed a lot of importance on the 'Singer of the World' competition …
This wasn't just to introduce the Blackwood Elves to the people of the Norland Continent. It was also to portray the Blackwood Elves as beautiful singers who were close to the people and could sing well. More importantly, it was to introduce them to the world, and it was also the first time that the television station, an important means of cultural transmission, would be used.
