A bottle of alchemy potion slipped out of a stunned caster's hand.
The sound of glass shattering echoed throughout Klia's alchemy shop, breaking the eerie silence.
"Did Belle kill that knight by herself?"
"Not just one knight!"
Because it was a short video, the battle was very short. Belle used the alchemy tools she had on her to kill seven knights in just one minute.
When she walked out of the fire with her lover, the whole alchemy shop fell into silence again. But this time, the silence did not last long before it was drowned by a tidal wave of applause.
Josiah could see the audience hugging each other in excitement … Although it was just a small advertisement, Josiah had succeeded in stirring up the audience's emotions.
"So these people will enter the 'buy buy buy buy' state you mentioned?" Hiri put the Prophet back on the ground and glanced at the crowd.
"It takes a while to accumulate popularity and reputation, and the TV has already attracted enough customers for this alchemy shop."
Josiah did not expect Klia Firm to defeat all of Noland's competitors with a single advertisement, but the response from the first short film was so great that Josiah believed the audience would not be satisfied.
The image on the screen gradually darkened. Josiah did not have enough programs to keep the 'TV station' running 24/7, which was what Josiah planned to do next.
"If you need to buy anything, just use this contract. It's free."
Josiah handed a sheepskin scroll with the Klia Firm's emblem to the Prophet.
"Your Highness, Klia Firm's people seem to be looking for you." The Prophet immediately caught the key information amidst the noise in the shop.
After the advertisement ended, the manager of Klia Firm, Frit, hurriedly came down from upstairs and looked around for traces of Josiah.
Judging from his flushed face, he had personally experienced the success of this advertisement.
"It seems to be to invite Your Highness to a banquet." The Prophet continued, "This is a good opportunity for Your Highness to expand your network."
"Uh … I'll have to trouble you with this as well. Frit knows that you're my messengers."
Josiah had no intention of attending the banquet. He found a top hat from somewhere and walked through the crowd with Hiri.
While the entire Klia's shop was in a celebratory atmosphere, Josiah and Hiri silently disappeared from the shop.
"Aren't you going to freeload?"
Hiri followed behind Josiah and looked around the alchemy market. Right now, the entire market was brimming with a … festive atmosphere.
It must be the fans of Beauty and the Devil celebrating the resurrection of the Devil Prince!
"Hiri, I don't mind if you want to go, but I have something more important to do." Josh casually found a coachman and boarded the carriage. He then waved goodbye to the Prophet and the others who were standing at the entrance.
"Something more important?"
Hiri ignored Josiah's first sentence and followed Josiah into the carriage.
"To witness the birth of a whole new genre of music," said Josiah.
… …
In a shabby tavern at the corner of Squirrel Street.
The short film of Beauty and the Devil had just ended. The customers in the tavern were still immersed in the joy of Belle's reunion with the Devil Prince.
But in the alley outside the tavern, Holme was standing in the darkest corner of the alley, his face covered in bruises. In front of him were two tall orcs.
Holmes had just propped his swaying body up when one of the orcs punched him in the abdomen … His stomach began to churn, and he lost his balance and fell to the dirty ground.
"Damn it … I've already returned all the silver I owed you." Holmes propped himself up with his elbow and looked at the two orcs who were flexing their fingers in front of him.
"To be precise, you still owe us a silver coin." A short Gnome walked out from behind the orc and stared intently at Holmes, who was lying in the dirty water. "And you've owed it for thirty-seven days. Holmes, you're a 'celebrity' who appeared on the screen. Shouldn't you take care of your former friends?"
Holmes bit his bloodied lips and clenched his fists.
But in the next second, he seemed to recall something. His clenched fists lost their strength, and his eyes dimmed.
"I'm … not famous at all." Holmes' voice was pleading. "Give me that silver coin and a little more time, I … will definitely …"
Before Holmes could finish speaking, the orc kicked his abdomen again.
"Lad … at least you have some self-awareness. You borrowed a silver coin thirty-seven days ago, and now you have to return two gold coins." The Gnome sounded like he was expecting something. "I know you're a useless human and can't repay me. Didn't you adopt a baby girl? I have an employer who needs her … "
Holmes heard the Gnome mention the baby girl. He suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the calf of one of the orcs … This infuriated the orc. He let out a deep roar and tried to stomp on Holmes' chest.
But in the next second, a pure white magical radiance bloomed in the dark alley. The orc seemed to be grabbed by an invisible arm. He didn't even have the chance to resist before he was slammed into the wall.
"Isn't child trafficking an absolute taboo in any country? Everyone. "
A voice … came from the end of the alley. The gnome turned his head in horror and saw two humans standing at the end of the alley … One of the humans was holding a magic staff that was glowing faintly.
The orc beside the gnome roared and unsheathed a dagger as he charged at the two humans.
But the human with the magic staff merely waved his finger, and the orc, who was nearly two meters tall, was suspended in mid-air by magical inscriptions. Then, the orc drew a beautiful arc and fell hard on the other side of the alley.
The gnome realized the disparity in strength. The cowardly gnome leaped into Noland's sewer without hesitation and disappeared.
Holmes gradually regained consciousness. He wiped away the mud that was blocking his eyes and looked up at the figure in front of him with the help of the moonlight.
"You can't participate in the next match if you lie here."
