Count Kirrlutz thought that Josiah's first two projects were already a joke.
He roughly estimated the resources needed to build the merry-go-round and the Ferris wheel. The merry-go-round was relatively easy, and half a month was enough to build one.
As for the Ferris wheel …
If Count Kirrlutz spent his own money to build this' spectacle ', and the purpose was only to see the scenery from afar, he would definitely be heartbroken!
This thing was simply a monster that devoured gold coins. Count Kirrlutz did not dare to raise this kind of monster, but looking at Josiah … He was prepared to raise about seven or eight more.
Now, an even more terrifying money-devouring monster appeared on the stage, and Josiah named it 'Roller Coaster'.
"Mr. Josiah, is this really a magic machine for entertainment, and not … torture or murder?"
The young craftsman said what everyone present was thinking. The demonstration of the roller coaster was a little too frightening in their eyes.
After leaving the station, it slowly climbed to a higher place, and the moment it climbed to the top, it instantly fell down, followed by a series of reversing bends and an inverted track.
There was a high chance that anyone who took this train would not be able to come back alive.
"I named this magic machine 'Roller Coaster'. The way it operates looks a little thrilling, but to maintain this thrilling way of operation while ensuring the safety of the people and the endurance of the track … This is what you need to consider."
Josiah threw a difficult problem to all the master craftsmen present. This time, they did not raise any doubts, but began to discuss.
This discussion lasted for a few minutes, and finally, the craftsman who looked the oldest raised his hand.
"If Mr. Josiah is serious, we will accept this commission."
"Then I'll leave it to Master Tixi."
Josiah could see that the old craftsman's expression was not that of accepting the employer's commission, but an expression of excitement from encountering an interesting challenge.
"Let's talk about the next magic machine …" When Josiah said this, he walked to Hiri's side and asked in a low voice, "Is there no problem with the magic consumption?"
"I'll run out of mana after creating three illusions. The purple-clothed one will double my homework." A new purple inscription appeared on Hiri's fingertip again. "What's the next pancake drawing … No, I mean, what's the amusement facility we're going to build?"
"En … let me see."
Josh told the group of craftsmen about the rides that he had thought of so far, as well as his own ideas.
Ever since the roller coaster, they had been interested in Josiah's novel ideas, even though most of his works were useless in their eyes.
The bidding for the construction of the amusement park lasted until late at night.
"Once you've estimated the construction cost, just send the bill to the Hearthstone Tavern. I'll send someone to send you the deposit."
Josiah glanced at the dark sky outside.
Empress Yekana was present to listen to the entire bidding meeting. Although she remained silent at the side and seemed to be scrolling through the spellcaster forum … As long as Empress Yekana was a witness, Josiah did not have to worry about being cheated of his deposit.
"Everyone, it's time to prove to the world that the Iron Nation's magic machine construction technology … is the best in the world."
"There's no need to prove it, Mr. Josiah. You just need to wait. Also, you mentioned the place Assequero."
Empress Yekana closed the magic net interface in front of her and focused her attention on Josiah again.
"The legendary Sky City, the gathering place of the high elves …"
"I'll bring you around when the time is right, Madam Yekana."
Josiah vaguely guessed what the Empress was planning.
Falosi had the existence of the World Tree, so their entire country did not need the World Tree's crystal to connect to the magic net.
The temptation was too great. Empress Yekana was also a spellcaster full of wisdom. She also knew that the World Tree could not be cultivated by seeds.
"I'll wait." Empress Yekana revealed a smile that made Josiah unfathomable.
… …
"I always feel that that woman is very dangerous."
Hiri sat in the front passenger seat of the magic car, holding a bottle of blue potion.
She had created eight exquisite large illusions in a row, and the magic in her body was slightly unable to support it.
"I heard that the Iron Nation's Empress used to be the disciple of the man in yellow, and she was even the chief … Now, she is also a powerful spellcaster."
Josiah held the steering wheel and looked at the flashing red protocrystals on the road ahead. He had no choice but to step on the brake at the intersection.
"No … That woman always gives me the feeling that she will say 'I want all of them'." Hiri unscrewed the bottle of blue potion and said.
"People who have a hobby of collecting are like this. Oh right, Hiri … Do you want to take some time to choose a wedding ring?"
Josiah's gaze just happened to see a jewelry store at the corner of the street.
"Ahem."
When Josiah said this, Hiri just happened to take a sip of the mana potion.
"I knew I shouldn't drink when you said 'yes'."
Hiri took out a handkerchief to wipe the corner of her mouth, and cleverly stuffed the mana potion bottle in her hand back into the bottle.
"It's a bit sudden, and I should be the one to choose this myself."
Josiah quickly realized that the topic had become slightly awkward.
"Actually … I don't know either."
Hiri touched the ring on her index finger. This ring was given to her by Josiah to shield her from the man in purple's mind magic.
"Then let's stop this topic for now. We're about to reach the Hearthstone Tavern, so …"
"How long have we known each other, Josiah?"
Hiri suddenly put on her hood, hugged her legs, and curled up in the passenger seat. She only looked at Josiah through the interior mirror.
"Almost two years and seven months. What's wrong?"
Josiah didn't understand why Hiri would go into … full armor mode at this time.
"The first time I met you, you wanted to blow my head off." Hiri said as she held the ruby around her neck.
"Trust me, that was just to scare you."
Josiah felt Hiri's eyes were full of suspicion.
"But thinking about it, I didn't know anything two years ago." Hiri suddenly said.
"Hiri?" Josiah found Hiri's state to be a bit strange.
"Josiah! Can you listen to my thoughts now? "
Ciri pulled the hood of his head lower with his hand, as if he was about to confess something.
"Anytime."
Josiah initially thought that Hiri would never feel depressed, but everyone had their own worries. When Josiah mentioned marriage, it seemed to have touched something in Hiri.
"I actually feel inferior when I'm with you." Hiri pulled her hood lower as she spoke, to the point where Josiah couldn't see her expression clearly. "Especially when you met the Falosi's flower, Carolee. She was so beautiful that I wanted to date her, and she was the daughter of a Duke."
Josiah's hand on the steering wheel paused when he heard this. Josiah was really afraid that Hiri would say something like "Sorry, the one I like is actually Carolee."
"And Taylin, her singing and her clan's World Tree really helped you a lot." Hiri whispered, "The Land of Frost's king, Cheil, too. If she reveals her identity as a girl, the Demon Realm and the Land of Frost will stop fighting, and they will definitely consider marriage … If you and Cheil …"
"Hiri!"
Josiah interrupted Hiri's words at this moment. Josiah could listen to Hiri's confession quietly before, but this sentence made Josiah feel a little angry.
Hiri's body that was curled up in the passenger seat trembled slightly, but she still chose to continue.
"Josiah, there are too many girls you know who are more powerful than me, and they all have a good impression of you, but … but …" Hiri said until here, took off her hood, and looked at Josiah with her silver-gray eyes. "I will work hard to become more powerful than them. Teacher said that you will definitely have a lot of use for illusions in the future, and I'm almost able to complete the fifth level of illusion magic construction."
"It has nothing to do with illusions." Josiah stopped the magic car and looked at her.
Hiri's silver-gray eyes glowed in the darkness like a kitten afraid of being abandoned.
"No, it has to do with illusions …"
Josiah didn't wait for Hiri to finish this sentence. He directly turned off the magic car, and then directly approached Hiri who was curled up in the passenger seat.
Hiri's lips still had the taste of the magic potion from before. She first stared at Josiah with widened eyes, and then closed her eyes, silently accepting Josiah's somewhat rough request.
Their lips overlapped for a long time, and when they separated again, Hiri's breathing was a little rushed.
"It has nothing to do with each other, understand?"
Josiah put his hand on the top of the passenger seat, looking down at Hiri who was curled up in the corner.
From this angle, Josiah could see Hiri's collarbone …
"I-I understand." Hiri's cheeks were already covered in crimson, and at the same time, she used the back of her hand to cover her lips, not daring to look at Josiah. "Hurry up and get the car. It'll be troublesome if the Noland enforcers arrest you again."
Josiah saw that Hiri had recovered her spirit, and slightly heaved a sigh of relief.
"I'm fine."
But Josiah didn't intend to just let it end like this, and directly grabbed Hiri's hand that was covering her lips.
"Now the car is parked in an alley that no one will come to."
"Alley?"
Hiri looked up, only to realize that she wasn't on the streets of Noland!
"W-Wait a minute!"
Hiri's resistance was useless, and she was directly suppressed by Josiah.
… …
Josiah and Hiri spent some sweet time together before returning to the Hearthstone Tavern.
When Josiah arrived at his study, he saw the Frost Elf Taylin watering the cat.
"Josiah, Hiri, you're back?"
Taylin had been waiting in the study for a long time. She put down the water bottle in her hand, and the white cat also disappeared from Josiah's desk.
"I attended two international conferences in a row today … so I'm a little late."
Josiah and Hiri walked into the study together, and Taylin's scrutinizing gaze made him feel very uncomfortable.
"And Taylin, what's the matter?" Josiah immediately asked.
Taylin retracted her gaze, and once again sat across from Josiah's desk, her expression extremely serious.
"Mr. Josiah, your 'Sherlock Holmes: The Detective Collection' hasn't been updated for a long time."
The moment Taylin used honorifics, Josiah knew that this Frost Elf was definitely here to urge him to update.
Although Taylin's voice sounded soft and weak, Josiah immediately straightened his back for some reason.
"To be precise, I haven't updated for fifteen days." Hiri also joined in the urge, "There are almost a thousand requests for updates in the Motionless Library."
"About that book, you guys know that I've been very busy lately … so I haven't had the time to write it," said Josiah.
"I know that Mr. Josiah has been busy with the Holy Ghost Competition, but you promised me that you would write a chapter in a certain period of time," said Taylin with a pleading tone.
"Hmm … I'll write it tomorrow when I have time."
Josiah turned his head away guiltily.
"Mr. Josiah, are you really going to keep your promise?"
Taylin could trust Josiah on everything, but when it came to the update of "Sherlock Holmes: The Detective Collection", Taylin still could not trust him.
"By the way, Taylin, and Hiri … Actually, I have a new idea that I've been wanting to tell you guys."
Josiah tried to change the topic, but if he used a new book as an excuse, forget about diverting the attention of the readers, the readers might even go after the author.
Sure enough, Josiah's suggestion had an excellent effect of ridicule.
"I still hope that Mr. Josiah can take the time to write a chapter. There are many fans like me waiting for you in the Motionless Library."
Taylin's soft personality would not be very tough when it came to urging him to update.
"I'll write it tomorrow!" Josiah gave another answer and then said, "Do you guys want to see my new idea?"
Taylin fell into hesitation. If it was a game like The Holy Ghost, it would be fine, at least she did not need to wait so long for updates, but if Josiah wrote another interesting novel, and he only updated a chapter every two or three months, she would not be able to bear it.
In the end, the curiosity of the new work won over the pain of waiting for updates, and Taylin nodded slightly.
Josiah looked at Hiri again. Previously in the car, Josiah did not do anything intimate to Hiri.
But if he did not meet Taylin on the way back to the tavern, Josiah would have probably carried Hiri to bed.
"I'm still energetic." Hiri said.
"Well, a disease that makes people extremely depressed and angry has recently appeared in the Frost Plains, as for the reason …"
"Grey Fog …"
When Taylin said this word, the weak Frost Elf looked a lot stronger. After all, she was a woman who carried the responsibility of continuing the race.
"I need a special medicine that can cure this disease, so I plan to create an animation."
