"This building has been abandoned for more than ten years, and the magic barrier around the entrance has long since lost its effectiveness. Although Count Kirrlutz would send people to clean this place regularly, it has recently become a gathering place for wanderers." The leader of the three knights said as he pointed at the filthy surroundings.
"Sorry to trouble you."
Minister Dias swept his gaze across the horrendous scene in the theater hall.
The Explorer Theater he built in the Iron Nation was pitifully small compared to the grand theaters of Falosi, and the interior decorations were in tatters due to the wanderers moving in.
The paintings and statues that used to hang in the hall were long gone, and the floor was covered with all kinds of filthy items.
"Other than the hall, the magic barriers in the other rooms are well preserved. Ambassador Dias, you may be able to renovate this place into a nice manor if you clean it up a little. The Count said that he can provide craftsmen to help you rebuild this place." The knight continued.
"Manor? Thank the Count for me for his kindness. " Minister Dias shook his head and rejected the knight's suggestion. "If you don't mind, please leave this place. I'm going to start cleaning up the mess here."
The three knights did not refuse and immediately left the dirty place. Minister Dias took another look at the hall that was so filthy it made him frown.
He was glad that he brought a spellcaster who was proficient in Flowing Water Inscription before coming.
Under Minister Dias's instructions, the seven attendants who followed him to Noland began to clean up the messy hall, while another attendant carried the luggage and followed Minister Dias.
Minister Dias also walked straight to the back of the hall and arrived at the room where the manager of the theater was based according to his memory.
A pale white inscription appeared on his hand, and the magic barrier engraved on the wall and door was instantly dispelled. Minister Dias walked straight into the room.
Thanks to the protection of the magic barrier, the items stored inside were not stolen. As he stared at the items placed inside, his memory began to surge.
The luggage was placed on the table by the attendant, and Minister Dias found an exaggeratedly large piece of paper that depicted a 'Na' vi.
He remembered that this thing was called a 'poster', and it was used like a flyer to advertise a stage play.
Minister Dias put the poster aside and began to count the other luggage.
"Where's the black gold box I asked you to look after?!"
Minister Dias noticed that the gift he had prepared for the lord of this city was missing from the luggage the attendant was carrying.
"This … Your Excellency, I have always placed it in the inscription box."
"In the inscription box?"
Minister Dias opened the box and noticed that something was clearly missing. The attendant's expression immediately turned into one of fear when he realized that he had made a huge mistake.
"Now the theater is short of people." Minister Dias gritted his teeth and convinced himself not to punish the attendant, "What are you still standing there for! Get to work! "
The attendant immediately nodded and ran out of the study.
Apart from a leaf from the World Tree, the rest of the items in the black-gold box were not very valuable.
Minister Dias had originally wanted to sell the Weave to the city lord of this city, but it looked like this plan would have to be delayed for a while.
What he needed to do now was to revive the long-abandoned Explorer Theater!
… …
Ossen, Demel Commercial Street.
"This is inlaid with gold dust, can't you … give me a little more money?"
A wanderer dressed in tattered clothes stood in front of the window of a merchant shop and asked in a low voice.
"Three bisnars, no more old Nark." Dorothy sat behind the window and said after glancing at the black wooden box handed over by the wanderer.
"Thank you! Thank you Miss Dorothy, may God bless you. "
When the Wanderer saw Dorothy handing out the gold coins from the window, he happily picked them up and thanked her profusely. Then, he immediately ran out of the shop.
Dorothy looked at the back of the wanderer and sighed softly.
Actually, she knew that a homeless wanderer would not be able to obtain such an expensive box. He must have obtained it through some illegal means, but Dorothy still softened and accepted this' stolen goods'.
She did not know if this was the right thing to do.
"Young Miss, you can't always accept the gifts from the Wanderers! This will damage our merchant shop's reputation. "Someone in the merchant shop whispered to Dorothy.
"Does our merchant shop still have a reputation? Go and put up a notice, this box should be lost by that noble. "
After Dorothy handed the wooden box to a manager in the merchant shop, she lifted the hem of her skirt and walked into the merchant shop.
She was about to return to her room to rest, but an irritable voice came from behind.
"Dorothy! Why didn't you go to the ball! Count Kirrlutz personally invited you!! "A middle-aged man yelled as he walked towards Dorothy.
"I'm sorry, father … I'm not interested in Count Kirrlutz, he's almost twice my age!" Dorothy quickened her pace, it seemed that she did not want to be caught up by the person behind her.
"But Count Kirrlutz has two sons! Didn't they express their affection to you at the ball last time? If you can marry either of them, our merchant shop will have a chance to turn for the better! "
Dorothy ignored her father's voice, she ran straight to her room and locked the door.
"Dorothy! Dorothy! "The middle-aged man was still knocking on the door outside.
Dorothy ignored him and fell straight onto the bed, hugging her pillow in an attempt to block out the sound completely.
She was born into a wealthy merchant family, her father's merchant shop was considered one of the top in Ossen Castle, but since her father went to Noland to find new business opportunities a few months ago and failed, the merchant shop completely declined.
Dorothy remembered that among the goods her father brought back from Noland, there was a 'Raw Crystal that allows one to communicate with everyone in the world without leaving the house'. At that time, their merchant shop sold this Raw Crystal as a gimmick.
But in the end, forget about communicating with everyone in the world, after using the Raw Crystal, there would only be a bunch of unknown things in front of them.
Since then, the reputation of Dorothy's father's merchant shop in Ossen Castle plummeted.
"What the hell is this …" Dorothy listened to the sound outside gradually disappear, she sat up from the bed and put down the pillow. With a wave of her hand, an interface appeared in front of her.
There were five special icons on the interface in front of her: My Magic Net Terminal, Spellcaster Forum, Voice of Noland, Message, and Recycle Bin.
Dorothy spent a few months trying to figure out what the extra thing in front of her was for, but in the end, it seemed to have no other purpose other than to block her line of sight.
She once again tried to open the icon of the Spellcaster Forum, but the message that popped up was' No network connection '.
What exactly is a network connection?!
In the past few months, Dorothy had been tormented by this notification.
She even went to the magic academy in Ossen Castle to look it up, but she did not get the conclusion she wanted.
Perhaps her father was really deceived by the spellcasters of Noland?
Just as Dorothy was about to click on the uninstall option of the Magic Net, the 'no network connection' message suddenly disappeared and was replaced by a colorful window in front of her.
