Leaf was honored to be appointed by Elder Sindonar as the liaison between the Forgotten Land's Hearthstone Tavern and the High Elves.
After Ahr was pardoned by Elder Sindonar, he also spent his time in the Hearthstone Tavern every day.
This position was very difficult for Leaf, and she had to take care of Ahr, which was even more troublesome.
Fortunately, Josiah did not interact much with the High Elves in the outside world after opening the Hearthstone Tavern.
However, when Josiah returned to Assequero today, it seemed like he was going to negotiate with the Elder Council.
"The Elder Council and many of our people are still hostile towards you."
Under Ahr's influence, Leaf had long let go of her previous arrogance and prejudice towards humans. It could be said that she was the High Elf who was the easiest to integrate into human society.
However, just because Leaf had let go of her prejudice against humans did not mean that the other High Elves would also let go.
"Can't we … wait a little longer?" Leaf asked softly.
"Wait?" Josiah found a chair and sat in front of Leaf. "Then how much longer do we have to wait?"
This question instantly made Leaf speechless. She really could not think of any possibility that the stubborn High Elves would forgive or accept Josiah. This was prejudice and hatred that could not be resolved with time.
"I have patience for many things." Josiah placed a book on the table and pushed it towards Leaf. The cover of the book was written "Sherlock Holmes: A Study in Scarlet".
Leaf's eyes lit up the moment she saw the book, but she did not accept Josiah's gift. She only looked at Josiah in confusion.
"I can spend a year or two making a game and a new movie, but there are some things that I can't wait for even a moment. For example, waiting for the author of a novel to update, or for the sequel of my favorite game to be released."
Leaf deeply sympathized with Josiah's words. If it was not for the fact that Assequero was facing a huge crisis and that she could not defeat Josiah, she would really sit down and have a good talk with Josiah.
She would really sit down and have a good talk with Josiah. 'When are you going to finish the rest of the plot?'
"I've read the book you wrote on The Motionless Library. The plot at the beginning is a little childish, but it gradually becomes more skillful towards the end. It can be considered a work with potential."
Josiah suddenly changed the topic and mentioned the practice works that Zhiye had written in the Immovable Library.
"Ah … this … thank you!"
Zhiye remembered that she had never told anyone about what she had written in the Immovable Library, not even Ahr!
How did this demon in front of him know?
"This book is a gift of encouragement. After all, you may contribute to the growth of the World Tree in the future."
Josiah pushed the Sherlock Holmes book in front of Ye Zhi. She hesitated for a moment before picking up the book.
"So, Josiah Yanorod, do you intend to meet the elders now?" After Zhi Ye carefully put the book into her bag, she couldn't help but ask, "This might cause some unnecessary disputes."
"A dispute …"
Josiah rubbed his temples as he looked at the high elf who was starting to have the demeanor of a 'scholarly girl'.
"Your name is Leaf, right? I'm curious, what kind of impression do you have of me? "Josiah asked.
"My impression of you …" Leafy thought for a moment and answered honestly, "I don't know much about you. My first impression was of being vigilant and fearful as an outsider. But whether it's the establishment of the Weave, the book serialized in the Immovable Library, or your temperament …"
Speaking up to this point, Zhi Ye didn't know what to say.
"The boss must be a good person!"
Suddenly, Ahr, who was recording the strategy of the new game behind Zhi Ye, turned his head and gave Josiah a thumbs up.
When Ahr said this, he seemed to have thought of something and added another sentence.
"Sometimes, it reminds me of salted fish!"
"You don't need to say the last sentence!" Josiah interrupted Ahr.
"I'm very sorry for the disturbance, Ahr," Leaf said apologetically. "In the past, Ahr was willing to leave with anyone who gave her some food. But I also think that you, Josiah Yanorod, are a kind person."
"Being called a good person twice in a day makes me feel a little complicated." Josiah stood up from his seat.
"I know my own character. Rather than saying that I'm gentle, it's better to say that I'm afraid of trouble. To put it more directly, I'm lazy … I don't want to get involved in the disputes between the High Elves, humans, and blasphemers. It's too troublesome, but I want your holy tree to become a part of the Magic Net, so I can only use such forceful methods."
"Forceful … method?" Leaf had a bad feeling.
"Isn't the purpose of your race's existence for the continuation of the holy tree? When an outsider's' growing soil 'is far better than your high elves', what's the purpose of your race's existence? "
Josiah's words suddenly reminded Leaf that Josiah's race was called 'demons' by humans.
"Of course, the best medium for the holy tree to absorb 'nutrients' is you high elves. So I only care about the high elves who are willing to accept me. As for the opinions of others …" Josiah thought for a while and shrugged. "I can't do anything about it."
After saying all this, Josiah walked out of the Hearthstone Tavern.
Katarian, who was watching TV in the tavern, silently followed behind Josiah. He didn't want to miss the interview in the afternoon.
The only customers left in the tavern were Leaf and Ahr, who was playing the Weave game.
At this moment, Ahl also suddenly felt something. He raised his head and looked around.
"Ahr! Let's follow him. "Leaf hugged the Sherlock Holmes book in her hands tightly and finally made this decision.
"I want to get rid of the leader first."
Leaf rejected Ahr's suggestion. Leaf grabbed Ahr's hand for the first time and ran out of the Hearthstone Tavern.
She followed Josiah all the way to the outside of the Forgotten Land.
The moment Leaf stepped out of the Forgotten Land, she heard music that she had never heard before echoing in the sky above Assequero.
"This is …" Leaf looked around, but she couldn't find the source of the sound.
"There's a performance going on in the center of the high elves. I think you should go take a look."
Performance?
