Noland, Hearthstone Tavern.
"It's all the rage now."
Josiah sat behind the bar in the tavern and looked at the two Wise Ones, the one in gray and the one in purple.
Spellcasters who frequented the Hearthstone Tavern were used to running into the two Wise Ones.
Every weekend, the two would find a table in the tavern and play a game of Go.
With the Wise Ones taking the lead, this ancient game with seemingly simple rules but thousands of variations became popular in Noland.
"Maybe I should consider expanding the tavern."
Josiah looked around. There was never enough space in the Hearthstone Tavern during the day. With a group of Spellcasters occupying a corner and starting a game of Go, each game would take two to three hours.
"When do you plan to expand the tavern?"
The Dark Elf was sitting in front of the bar, staring at Josiah with a notebook and pen.
"Qianmian, have you been so free lately?"
Josiah handed a mug of ale to the Dark Elf. She had been sitting in the Hearthstone Tavern for almost an hour.
In the beginning, they were only interested in the gray-robed man and the purple-robed man, but after interviewing the gray-robed man and the purple-robed man, they turned their attention to Josh.
"I've been busy. I've already finished the first version of the magazine you suggested." The Dark Elf pointed at the two magazines beside Josiah. "The response from the readers was unexpectedly good, so I'm busy writing the second issue. I don't have enough manpower."
"Alchemy and fashion magazines?"
Josiah picked up the first issue of Noland's Alchemy Magazine with the Philosopher's Tower on the cover.
The Dark Elf's Black Pigeon News Agency was also under Josiah's command, so the Hearthstone Tavern naturally became one of the places to sell magazines.
"It's much better than I expected … Also, who did you find for the printing?"
Josiah didn't know much about the creation of books in this world. The only thing he was sure of was that there were magic-powered machines like printing presses.
"An alchemy workshop under the Klia Merchant Group. You mentioned the concept of 'newspapers' to me before. I asked around and found out that similar 'books' exist in the Steel Nation," the Dark Elf said.
"Colored prints. Magic is a scary thing."
Josh's hand came into contact with the surface of the magazine. The material of the paper wasn't like ordinary book paper. Instead, it had a metallic texture to it.
As a result, Josh felt that the magazine was rather heavy in his hand. This magazine had sacrificed its lightness to ensure that every page was colorful.
This magazine was much more interesting than I thought, "the Dark Elf said.
The magazine idea was suggested by Josh. The Dark Elves initially felt that it was too troublesome, but the Black Pigeon News Agency had recently been overflowing with manpower.
A group of reporters was running around on the streets, and the news they found were all insignificant.
So the Dark Elf tried to make the first issue of the magazine. Of course, she was the editor-in-chief.
"It's because these magazines can be written according to your ideas. After all, the daytime news has to be edited by me."
Josiah skimmed through some of the articles. There was no lack of gossip in the alchemy magazine.
"So, why did you come to find me today?"
Josiah put down the magazine in his hand and looked at the Dark Elf who had finished her ale.
"Interview."
The Dark Elf seemed to have found her favorite prey. The way she looked at Josiah was different.
She kept twirling the ink brush in her hand, as if she was eager to write something in her little notebook.
"I'm just a programmer. What's there to interview?" Josiah said.
"In human history, we Dark Elves are synonymous with lies. But compared to you, we're still lacking, Mr. Josiah." The Dark Elf flipped the notebook in her hand.
"The director of the movie 'The Shawshank Redemption' that was released yesterday, and one of the winners of the highest human award, the Skegerona Prize. These are the two newest ones. If you add up all the previous news, you can feed the entire Black Dove News Agency." “
"Is this the result of his own actions?"
Josiah looked at the two sages who were playing Go again.
The grey-clothed man had made it clear that he hadn't revealed the news of the Skegerona Prize winner to anyone.
But the fact that the award ceremony would be watched by the entire world was a fact.
The Dark Elf obviously wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity.
"Let's talk about the award ceremony after the ceremony. You can ask about other things," Josiah said.
"Other things?" The Dark Elf turned the pen in her hand again and thought for a moment.
"Then ask about the Weave. You've recently perfected the various functions of the Weave. Whether it's Weave shopping or Weave vision, they're all functions that can change your lifestyle. What's your next step?"
"My next step is definitely to focus on games."
"Games? The Spellcaster Forum's game section? Aren't the games always being updated? "
The Dark Elf would occasionally find one or two games to relax outside of work.
And the popularity of the game section had always been among the top few in the Spellcaster Forum.
This was also thanks to the fact that the Spellcaster Forum would update a new game every once in a while.
"You mean 'The Snowman Brothers', 'Battle of the Squirrels', and 'Brick'?" Josiah asked.
"These types? Aren't these games on the Weave? "
The Dark Elf didn't understand what Josiah meant.
"No, they're just the first Weave games. The Weave's potential hasn't been unleashed yet. It's just the beginning," Josiah said.
"The beginning?" The Dark Elf was slightly surprised after recording Josiah's words in her notebook.
The Dark Elf had spent an afternoon playing The Snowman Brothers during her vacation. This kind of Weave game was interesting enough for her.
"Qianmian, can you keep the information revealed below a secret?" Josiah lowered his voice at this point.
"This isn't my style." The Dark Elf shook her head slightly and rejected Josiah.
"It's not a big secret anyway." Josiah pointed at his head. "Have you thought about the Weave's principles? And how it works? "
"I've thought about it. From what I know, many Spellcasters have discussed it on the forum. There are many results … but very few I find reasonable," the Dark Elf said.
"The Weave itself is made up of a large number of Inscriptions. Do you think your brain can really handle such a large amount of Inscriptions?" Josiah asked.
"This is also what Spellcasters discuss …" The Dark Elf rubbed her forehead. She couldn't imagine how so much information appeared in her head.
"The answer is yes. After all, reality has proven it."
Josiah said this and an Inscription of Order appeared in his hand.
"This question is close to the essence of the world. Do you think Inscriptions are created by the gods and given to us, or is the Inscription itself a huge system created by 'us'? This system covers the entire world … and gives humans the ability to control the elements in the world?"
"Shouldn't we be talking about the Weave? This is a topic that the Sages of Noland should be researching. "The Dark Elf seemed to refuse to answer this question.
"It's just that after interacting with the World Tree for a long time, I came up with this idea." Josiah shook his head and seemed to want to change the topic. "Anyway, I plan to make a new game in the near future."
"What's the specific content of the game?"
The Dark Elf picked up her pen again and prepared to take notes in her little notebook.
"It's a secret." Josiah smiled and answered the Dark Elf.
"…"
The Dark Elf instantly fell into silence.
"Alright, it can be considered a game where players fight against each other. It has a certain connection to Hearthstone. I originally wanted to make a larger online game, but I realized that I'm not capable enough, so I can only start with a standalone game first." Josiah immediately added.
"Looks like you're not willing to answer even if I continue asking." The Dark Elf put down her notebook and stood up from her seat. "Josiah, regarding the secret of the World Tree that you mentioned just now, I suggest that you don't delve too deeply into it."
"Actually, I'm not interested. It's better to leave it to the Sages to research."
