Dorothy trotted out of Noland's portal hall.
When she arrived at the streets of Noland, she could not help but cough a few times.
The air in the Norland Empire was simply too different from that of Ossen Castle. He was already used to the smell of crystal particles in the air of Ossen Castle, so it was inevitable that he would feel a little uncomfortable in the Norland Empire.
After Dorothy calmed her breathing, she looked around at the surrounding streets.
This was not the first time she had come to Norland. Dorothy's father had brought her here once when she was young.
Dorothy's impression of Noland at that time was that it was a city full of spellcasters.
Mage robes of various colors were almost standard on the streets. No matter where she went, she would see shops that sold magic staffs and alchemy materials.
Dorothy, who was not very interested in magic, could only describe Noland as rigid and monotonous. But now …
"Is that the poster for 'Avatar'?"
Dorothy looked up at a tall building in the distance. On top of the building was a huge painting. The painting was of a human and a blue creature.
The huge painting stood at the exit of the central portal node of Noland. Visitors from other countries could see the painting and the characters below it when they looked up.
Dorothy had already seen 'Avatar' in the Iron Nation. Although she did not mind watching it again, she did not come to Noland to watch the movie.
She took her suitcase and walked towards the bustling commercial street in the distance. As soon as she entered the commercial street, her eyes were attracted by a picture in a shop.
What attracted her attention was not the goods in the shop, but the 'moving' painting on the wall of the shop. No … it was a movie.
The picture showed a Black Dragon. Dorothy knew the Black Dragon. Not long ago, she had brought her followers to beat up this Black Dragon called Nefarian.
Dorothy stood outside the shop and watched the movie that lasted less than three minutes through the glass window. The story was about the adventurers stepping into Nefarian's territory and enraging the Black Dragon.
Dorothy was not the only one who was attracted by the interior of the shop. Many tourists from other countries could not help but stop in their tracks.
"A Black Dragon has appeared under Noland?"
"It seems to say that it's a place called Blackrock Mountain. Where is that?"
Dorothy walked out of the crowd without saying a word. She had already found out the place to register for the competition by looking at the advertisement.
"There are … advertisements everywhere."
Dorothy continued to walk along the shopping street. She could see Nefarian's silhouette on the walls of every shop.
From Dorothy's point of view, games were a very niche activity. This card game would only be popular in the taverns of the lower classes. It had always been a common culture that was looked down upon by the nobles.
Therefore, Dorothy thought that the scale of this Hearthstone Tournament would not be too big.
However, she now realized that the organizers of this tournament were not as simple as ordinary Hearthstone players.
Dorothy's gaze swept across the street and quickly found a few parked carriages by the roadside.
Any smart carriage driver would not let go of this opportunity to make money. Dorothy found a carriage with a merchant's logo and boarded it.
"Miss, where are you going?" The carriage driver asked.
Dorothy pulled up the Weave interface and glanced at the posts related to the Noland Tournament.
"Twenty-seven Commerce Street, west of Nolan," she said.
"Hearthstone Tavern? Why are you going there? That tavern is the territory of the Dwarves. They don't like outsiders, "the carriage driver reminded Dorothy.
Dwarves? Are there a lot of Dwarves in the Hearthstone Tavern?
Dorothy did not have a good impression of Dwarves. When she came to Noland as a child, she was frightened by the Dwarves carrying axes and pickaxes on the streets several times.
"It's fine," Dorothy said to the carriage driver after a moment of hesitation.
The carriage driver did not continue to dissuade Dorothy. The horses began to move slowly towards the end of the shopping street. After about half an hour, Dorothy arrived at her destination.
She paid the carriage driver with some Noland currency and pushed open the door of the carriage to the street outside the Hearthstone Tavern.
This is … the Hearthstone Tavern?
Dorothy looked up at the plain building in front of her, but the size of it was not much different from her family's merchant house.
She pushed open the door of the tavern and walked in. The aroma of ale mixed in the air and the orange light around her gave Dorothy a strange feeling of warmth.
However, this feeling of comfort was abruptly interrupted by the scolding of the Dwarves.
Dwarves … They're all Dwarves.
Dorothy glanced around the tavern's main hall. Two-thirds of the customers sitting around the tables were Dwarves, and the rest were Spellcasters wearing Spellcaster robes.
Could the Dwarves have invented the game Hearthstone? The strange thought popped up in Dorothy's mind.
"A little girl I've never seen before."
"She doesn't look like a Noland citizen!"
Dorothy's appearance instantly attracted the attention of the Dwarves. When their gazes fell on Dorothy, she had the urge to run away.
The terrible experiences of her childhood had caused her to have … a small psychological prejudice against Dwarves.
"She looks like a lost deer."
Some of the drunk Dwarves raised their mugs and joked with the bewildered Dorothy.
Don't tell me this tavern is owned by the Dwarves …
Dorothy looked around the tavern for someone to talk to and finally saw the figure of a human.
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
So beautiful …
Dorothy was confident in her appearance, but she could not help but sigh when she saw the person in front of her.
"Are you Ino? The female lead of 'Beauty and the Devil'? "Dorothy had not seen the movie, but she had seen many posters on the Spellcaster forum.
"Yes …" Ino did not expect Belle to recognize him so quickly.
Ever since he had focused on his studies, Ino's appearance was far different from the Belle who had participated in the movie.
"Sorry, I'm just a little surprised. I'm here to participate in the Noland Open."
Dorothy quickly expelled all the messy emotions in her heart. No matter who organized this competition, as long as she could obtain a twig from the World Tree, she must participate.
"If you want to sign up, please come this way." Ino led Dorothy to the depths of the hall.
Dorothy ignored the laughter of the Dwarves around her and followed Ino all the way to a long table.
