Hearthstone Tavern.
Ino's hand caressed the dress he was wearing. He had an impression of this dress. It was the dress Belle wore when she was an ordinary villager during the filming of "Beauty and the Devil".
It looked simple on the surface, but if one looked closely, one could see that the dress was meticulously made. Some of the details were very pleasing to the eye.
Ino was not happy to wear this dress again. Instead, he was very reserved. He held the hem of the dress tightly with both hands and looked at Josiah who was sitting across the table.
"Ino, do you understand what I said just now?" Josiah looked at the succubus sitting in front of him.
The current Ino reminded Josiah of the first time he met him. He was like a rabbit that couldn't find a hole in the ground in the crowd. His timid eyes made it seem as if everyone around him would eat him up in one bite.
Ino's hand that was holding the hem of the dress loosened slightly. After looking around anxiously, he raised his head and mustered the courage to ask Josiah.
"That … That … Your Highness Josiah, are … are you going to sell me to that merchant called Frit?!"
The moment Ino finished his sentence, Josiah heard the sound of something falling on the ground outside his study.
"The people outside should be Taylin and Madam Marina. Hmm … The Dark Elves from Black Pigeon seem to be waiting outside with cameras."
Hiri faithfully told Josiah who was outside his study.
"That Belle is going to be sold. This is definitely going to make Noland's headlines."
Josiah rubbed his forehead and looked at the fearful succubus.
It was no wonder that Ino was so afraid today. This succubus seemed to have already made up her mind when she sat here.
"It's … It's alright, Your Highness Josiah … You've given me too much. If … my lowly existence can be exchanged for Your Highness Josiah …"
"Stop!"
Josiah interrupted the succubus' sad monologue. If Ino continued to misunderstand, Josiah suspected that the group of people outside the door would directly push the door open and rush in.
"I have no intention of selling you! You only need to shoot one or two short films. "
Josiah did not intend to explain the complicated business aspects to Yi Nuo. He just told Yi Nuo about the upcoming mission.
"A short film?" Yi Nuo wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and looked at Josiah in confusion.
"With Belle's identity, aren't there many people on the Spell Caster forum looking forward to the resurrection of the Demon Prince in Beauty and the Demon?"
Josiah opened the spellcaster forum. There was a section dedicated to movies.
Even though "Beauty and the Devil" had been in theaters for more than half a year, it was still very popular.
In addition to some movie reviews, there were more articles and biographies about "Beauty and the Devil". To put it simply, it was a fanfic.
Most of the content included the plot of the Demon Prince's resurrection.
From this, it could be seen that most of the fans of "Beauty and the Devil" were looking forward to a happy ending.
Josiah accepted the advertising commission from Klia Firm, but he did not intend to shoot those cheap "brainwashing" ads.
Since the fans were so looking forward to the resurrection of the Demon Prince, Josiah might as well do an "official promotion". He had the Demon Prince take Belle around Noland, and then focus on the scenes in Klia Firm's shop.
If necessary, he could design one or two battle scenes to highlight the "quality" of Klia Firm's products.
This would not only satisfy the fans' needs, but also achieve the effect of publicity.
"Of course, no problem. I'm … honored to work with Lord Zenas again."
Yi Nuo's tone revealed her yearning for Zenas, which made Josiah suspect that this succubus had also become a cat addict.
"It's this afternoon. Although it's a little awkward to say this to a boy, Yi Nuo … Spend some time dressing up today."
"I … got it."
After hearing Josiah's words, Yi Nuo blushed and fled from Josiah's study.
Not long after Yi Nuo left, Madam Marina also tidied up her appearance and came before Josiah.
"Please forgive my rude behavior just now," Madam Marina said.
"Who would be concerned if their daughter … No, if their son is going to be sold." Josiah waved his hand to tell Madam Marina not to mind, and then pushed a sheepskin scroll to Madam Marina.
The wax seal that sealed the entire scroll was engraved with a running horse. This was the emblem of Klia Firm.
This scroll was also given a magic emblem agreement by the Noland Patent Conference, and was protected by Noland's laws.
"This is the preliminary condition after I negotiated with Klia Firm. Do you think there's anything that needs to be changed?"
Josiah's understanding of economics was far inferior to this old merchant.
Madam Marina picked up the sheepskin scroll and roughly glanced at the contents …
"A large part of the condition is for the other party to provide the technology for magic machines … Do you plan to open an alchemy workshop in the future?" Madam Marina asked.
"I don't plan to engage in this industry in Noland, but it's not a problem to open one or two alchemy workshops in the Demon Realm," Josiah said.
Demon Realm …
Madam Marina took out a pair of round glasses and put it on the bridge of her nose. Then, she roughly glanced at the list on the sheepskin scroll. A large part of it was related to agriculture.
For example, 'Magic Marionette that can farm automatically', 'Alchemy Agent that can make the soil more fertile', and so on … Some of them had already been realized and applied in various countries, while some were still in the experimental stage.
"So, Madam Marina, what do you think of Klia Firm's offer?"
Josiah saw that Madam Marina had fallen into silence, so he directly asked.
"Too extravagant." Madam Marina's wrinkled face was full of disbelief.
"Extravagant?"
"Mr. Josiah … They gave you five pieces of knowledge on the production of magic machines and such a large sum of money, but the only bargaining chip in exchange is for my adopted son … to say one or two good words for their products."
Although Madam Marina's financial management ability couldn't be underestimated, she was only a merchant.
Although she had seen many big scenes with Josiah, she still couldn't understand the degree of extravagance of those super rich merchants.
In Madam Marina's opinion … The bargaining chip that Josiah offered was only for her adopted son to say one or two good words for their products.
However, this exchange was close to tens of thousands, and even hundreds of thousands of profit in the future.
"This is a unique transaction case in the information age." Josiah understood Madam Marina's tone of 'I don't understand you rich people'.
"He means the era with the magic net and TV stations."
Hiri gave an appropriate explanation to Josiah's strange words, and Madam Marina nodded in understanding.
"I've tried my best to keep up with Mr. Josiah's footsteps, but Noland's changes are still too fast."
Madam Marina shook her head and put the sheepskin scroll back on Josiah's table.
