Josh wasn't the official organizer of the premiere, and only invited a few familiar faces to attend.
After Josiah posted the preview of "The Shining" on the spellcaster forum, Josiah received many inquiries about the premiere.
The visitor that surprised Josiah the most was the man in yellow.
It was not until the man in yellow brought his chief apprentice, Sophia, to the White Thorn Flower Theater that Josiah realized that this man had no interest in the movie. He was just having a headache because of his student's urging.
The girl named Sophia Karshilov was probably the most promising new spellcaster in Noland. She usually stood at the top of the younger generation, but now she came to the private hall of the White Thorn Flower Theater and exposed her identity as a "star-chaser"!
"That's Miss Taylin. Mentor, hurry up and give me the autograph book!" She kept urging the man in yellow. In all of Noland, she was the only one who dared to order the man in yellow like this.
The man in yellow's expression was stiff and displeased, but he still took out a small book and handed it to Sophia.
Sophia took her autograph book and ran to Taylin's side. Her eyes were filled with excitement as she handed the autograph book to Taylin in a panic.
After Taylin took the autograph book, she glanced at Josiah who was standing beside her.
This Frost Elf seemed to be used to Josiah's presence. She would always ask for Josiah's opinion before doing anything.
"Sign it, but I suggest you practice your autograph," Josiah said.
"Hmm … How should I practice my autograph?"
Taylin took Sophia's small book and hesitated when she picked up the pen.
"It has your characteristics. People can recognize your autograph at a glance. Let me think … You can write it in the Elven language!"
Josh's advice caused a nostalgic expression to appear on Taylin's face.
Taylin opened Sophia's autograph book and wrote her name in the Frost Elf language.
"Elven language …"
Sophia took the autograph book and looked at Taylin's signature. She took a moment to calm herself down before handing the autograph book to Josiah.
"Do I need one too?"
Josiah didn't expect someone to ask for his autograph.
"I've seen the list of creators behind Warcraft, aren't you one of the creators of that game?"
"Creator …"
Josh looked into Sophia's expectant eyes, but he didn't say anything that would disappoint her. Instead, he took her autograph and signed his name on it.
Sophia's admiration for him was similar to a player's admiration for a game creator. This made Josiah very … happy.
After receiving Josh's signature, she returned to the yellow-robed man's side.
"Sophia …"
The person in yellow wanted to remind her to take care of her image.
"Teacher, I want to learn the Elven language." Sophia made another request that gave the person in yellow a headache.
The top student of the person in yellow wanted to learn too many extracurricular courses. Illusionary magic was one of them, music, performance, and now she even wanted to learn the Elven language.
Just as the yellow-clothed man was about to harden his heart and persuade her to focus her attention on the Thunder system of magic … Sophina ran to the other side of the hall while shouting "Caroline".
"She'll get used to it."
Josiah walked to the person in yellow and comforted him.
The person in yellow snorted coldly and ignored Josiah.
The person in yellow was running around the hall. Looking at her excited expression, Josiah had the idea of holding an award ceremony like the Grammys or the Oscars.
"Mr. Josiah … about the movie."
Mrs. Sizer brought her daughter Carolee to Josiah. Even though Josiah had told her that this wasn't a 'gathering of nobles', she still dressed up to the nines.
"I don't think anyone here wants to listen to spoilers. The only advice I can give you is to bring someone you know with you when you watch the movie."
Josiah's reminder stopped Mrs. Sizer from asking about the details of the movie. She nudged Carolee and found an excuse to go to the Knight Of The White Thorn to ask about the situation.
"Why isn't Hiri with you?"
Carolee glanced at her mother carefully and asked Josiah in a low voice.
"She's doing her summer homework, so she's waiting in the theater."
Josh still felt a little guilty towards Ciri in this regard. Recently, Ciri's illusionary magic had helped a lot in the filming of "The Shining," but the price was that the progress of the book that the purple-clothed man had made her study was still stagnant.
"Homework …"
Carolee didn't want to hear another word that scared her even more after she finally got out of her busy filming schedule.
"One more thing, Fuya hasn't been talking much in Minecraft lately. I feel like she's been acting weird lately. I think you're her older brother … You should know something." Carolee asked.
"Fuya hasn't been in a good mood lately." Josiah had tried to comfort Fuya through text messages after he found out from the Dark Elves that she was scared by the script of The Shining.
But it didn't work out well. She didn't reply to Josiah at all. She was the type of person that couldn't be comforted no matter how hard he tried.
"I'll take some time to go back to the Underworld, but it's about time for the premiere."
Josiah looked at the crowd in the lobby. Everyone that Josiah invited or someone he knew had arrived.
Most of them were actors from the White Thorn Flower Troupe, while some were members of Josiah's guild, such as the author Cheryl and the two nuns from Dinessa's guild.
The arrival of Ino and Zenas made Sophina's heart explode. She was so excited that she couldn't even speak coherently when she saw Zenas and Ino together.
On the other hand, Hiri's sister, Herland, and her friend, Sansa, were much more reserved. Herland waved at Josiah as a greeting.
Herland's recent job at the Noland Trust had helped her escape from poverty.
"Fuya … told me not to come and watch this movie."
Carolee glanced at the warm family hanging on the poster in the lobby. She had an uneasy feeling in her heart.
"Are you going to leave now?"
"The answer is no, Mr. Josiah."
Carolee felt her mother's gaze on her and shook her head slightly. Then, under Josiah's summons, more than a hundred people entered the theater.
Hiri had already taken the best seat in the theater, but she was still reading a thick magic book.
Herland was stunned for a long time when she saw how hard she was working.
"Hurry up, Herland … There are a lot of people staring at the seat next to Ino," Sansa urged her.
"This is the first time I've seen Hiri reading a magic book. She used to hit people with it when she was young," Herland mumbled to himself.
Josiah heard Herland's mumbling clearly. This must be the naughty child who had grown up.
Not only had she grown up … but she had also reached the marriageable age.
Josiah walked to the seat next to Hiri and sat down. Hiri also closed the magic book in her hands.
Before Hiri could say anything, the other seat next to Josiah was taken by Carolee.
"Forgive me … This wasn't my intention."
Carolee noticed Hiri's gaze and mouthed the message. At the same time, she pointed at Mrs. Sizer who was sitting next to her.
It would be fine if she just sat next to them … Besides, the lights in the theater were gradually dimming.
