Josiah sat in the judge's seat. The Hearthstone Tavern had already been divided into a zone for the qualifiers.
The zone for this qualifier also included another Hearthstone Tavern branch.
Josiah had underestimated the importance the Hearthstone players placed on the Noland Open.
In the past, the Dwarves would make a ruckus whenever they played Hearthstone, but today, they were so serious that it was as if they were attending an important meeting. They held their cards in their hands without saying a word.
"The Frost Axe Clan … The Elders of the Blackrock Clan and the Red Copper Clan are all here."
As the acting manager of the Hearthstone Tavern, Madam Marina also sat in the judge's seat.
After operating the Hearthstone Tavern for almost half a year, Madam Marina had thoroughly understood the factions of the Dwarves in the Noland Underworld, including which Dwarves were the 'important figures' of each clan.
Madam Marina felt that today's qualifiers were inconceivable. In the past, the Elders of the three Dwarves would only meet in some of the more important meetings.
These meetings were not inferior to the Sage Council in Noland, and could possibly change the structure of the Underworld in Noland.
However, in the eyes of outsiders, it was just a group of Dwarves gathering together for some unknown activity.
"Mr. Josiah, I should go to the branch in the central business district." After leaving this sentence, Ms. Marina left the referee's seat and headed to the branch near the White Wattle Theater.
Most of the customers in the tavern were Dwarves. With the Elders of the three Clans present, Josiah was not worried that the young Dwarves would play any tricks. The branch near the White Wattle Theatre was the one that needed to be managed the most.
After Madam Marina left, only Josiah, Hiri, and Taylin were left in the judge's seat.
Hiri wasn't a judge, but a contestant. She had already won the first round of the preliminaries.
"Speaking of which, Hiri, are you really going to give up the right to advance?" Josh glanced at Hiri, who was beside him. Not long after her victory, she had voluntarily chosen to forfeit the next match.
"Hmm … The purple-clothed person said that the mana in my body has condensed to a critical point. According to what you said, I'll be in seclusion for the next few days. I snuck out today," Hiri said.
"I can see that." Josh glanced at the entrance of the Hearthstone Tavern. The purple-robed figure was already standing there.
The purple-clothed person walked towards the judge's seat with a staff in hand. Originally, Josiah thought that she was here to bring her apprentice home, but the purple-clothed person walked in front of Josiah instead.
"The Sage Assembly has approved the establishment of the 'Nobel Prize' that you proposed. However, the Sage Assembly has named it the 'Skegerona Prize'." The purple-clothed person immediately explained after seeing Josiah's confused expression. "Skegerona was a great spellcaster who founded Noland. However, he passed away due to old age, so the Sage Assembly has decided to use this prize to commemorate him."
"Alright …" Josiah thought that the person who informed him of this news would be the gray-clothed person, but Josiah suddenly remembered that the gray-clothed person was still participating in the Hearthstone competition.
"What about the time of the prize? What about the specific prize? "
Josiah had only briefly mentioned the idea of the 'Nobel Prize' to the yellow-clothed person and the gray-clothed person, but he did not think that the Sage Assembly would actually pay so much attention to it.
"The time has not been determined yet. The most likely time is when the central portal of Noland opens. I'm here as a representative of the Sage Assembly, and I hope that the process and images of the prize can be shown on the magical machine known as' television '."
The purple-clothed person used a somewhat awkward method to inform Josiah, hoping that the process of the prize presentation could be broadcasted on television.
"Of course, no problem. I will assist the Sage Assembly."
Josiah heaved a small sigh of relief after hearing the request of the purple-clothed person.
As the highest ruling class in Noland, the Sage Assembly could use countless forceful methods to demand Josiah's cooperation. However, this time, the purple-clothed person personally came to Josiah to inform Josiah of the Sage Assembly's wishes.
This made the thing that Josiah was most worried about in Noland gradually disappear.
It seemed that the decision to use the lecture platform to increase the favorability of the Sages was correct. At least, there were currently three Sages in the Sage Assembly who would adopt a decision that was favorable to Josiah.
"Thank you."
After the purple-clothed person gave a very formal reply, her gaze fell on her apprentice.
"Hiri … Consider today's so-called 'sick leave'."
What surprised Hiri was that the purple-clothed person did not seem to have any intention of bringing her back to the Mage Tower.
"Sage Mellows."
Just as the purple-clothed person was about to leave, Josiah called out to her.
"Is there anything else? Josiah Yanorod. " After the purple-clothed person became familiar with Josiah during the production of Avatar, she began to call Josiah by his full name.
Josiah felt that it was a little strange at first, but he was gradually getting used to the purple-clothed person's' old-fashioned 'communication method.
"Your body seems a little … off." Josiah had noticed the weakness in the purple-clothed person's voice during the conversation just now.
She had once told Josiah that her lifespan was less than a year, which was very short for anyone.
"This is just a symptom of aging." The purple-clothed person did not seem to care about this, even though she looked like she was only in her thirties.
"Perhaps you can change the location of your lecture to the second floor here. The World Tree of the elves should be able to alleviate this."
The World Tree was also a rare treasure to the adventurers of this world. Just the rumor that just touching its leaves could heal even the most serious of injuries was enough to tempt the adventurers.
Of course, the rumor was false. Although the World Tree had a strong life force, its healing effects were not that terrifying.
After hearing Josiah's words, the purple-clothed person's gaze fell on Taylin.
"I don't mind. The holy tree wouldn't wish for such a great person like you to pass away."
Taylin had lived in the human world for such a long time, and the elves' prejudice against humans had long since disappeared. Even Taylin's World Tree was the same.
"I'll think about it." The purple-clothed person replied to Josiah after a moment of silence.
Josiah watched as the sage left the Hearthstone Tavern.
"Can the World Tree extend a human's lifespan?" Josiah suddenly asked.
"This … I don't know." Taylin shook her head. "But the holy tree told me that the human was very weak. The reason for his weakness doesn't seem to be … the end of his lifespan. I think the holy tree should have a way to treat him."
"I hope so." Josiah really did not wish for the great special effects master to pass away after completing only one movie. "And Taylin, do you want to hold a concert?"
