Midnight.
"They're looking at me like I'm going to dismember them with a knife. Am I that scary?"
Hiri leaned against the window of Qianmian's office, watching Lucy and Hai Lan leave Squirrel Street under the cover of night.
"I don't know about that …"
Josiah knew that Hiri would beat him up if he told her the truth.
However, the prettiest girl in his life was Carolee, followed by Hiri and the King of the Land of Frost, Cheil.
However, in terms of affinity, Hiri far surpassed the high and mighty Flower of Falosi.
Ever since learning Illusion Magic from the purple-robed man, Hiri had the aura of a bookworm. She had gradually grown into a scholarly girl.
However, this scholarly girl would beat people half to death with her staff when necessary.
"You should leave the interrogation to me."
Qianmian took a sip of the black tea in her hand. While Josiah was interrogating Hai Lan and Lucy, Qianmian could only watch from the side under Josiah's orders.
Thus, Josiah gave Qianmian a textbook example of a failed interrogation.
Josiah was not suited for interrogating. Josiah's interrogation was far too gentle. The whole time, he was telling people, "Don't worry, you'll be fine even if you don't say anything."
Under Josiah's caring, brother-like interrogation, Hai Lan and Lucy only told Josiah their names and address, and answered Josiah with 'I don't know'.
Of course, Qianmian knew they were lying!
"Is there anything in the Black Pigeon's rules that forbid interrogating children?" Josiah asked.
"No, it's just an interrogation, not a torture. I can give you all the information you want."
Qianmian was very confident in her interrogation skills, so it was even easier for her to interrogate.
"Be patient, Qianmian. Haven't you already sent someone to follow them?" Josiah also looked out the window.
When Lu Qi and Hai Lan left, Qianmian had already sent scouts to follow them.
"I hope I can get more useful information."
Qianmian downed the cup of black tea in one gulp. In the past, she had always thought that Josiah's way of handling things was too naive, but in fact, it was just an act of laziness.
"Your kinsman is living in Assequero. Don't you want to visit her?" Josiah suddenly said.
"She …" Qianmian placed the teacup back on the table. "I'll find time to see her, but … not now."
"Alright, I'll leave the promotion of Assequero to you. Hiri and I will take our leave first."
After bidding farewell to Qianmian, Josiah left the Black Pigeon's headquarters with Hiri.
When Josiah sat in the magic car and used the inscription key to start the car, Hiri, who was sitting in the passenger seat, kept looking out the window.
"What's wrong?"
Josiah noticed that Hiri had been a little absent-minded since the beginning.
"I hate children."
Hiri suddenly said as she looked out the window at the group of children running on the street.
"Uh … I hate children too, but it's a different story if they're obedient." Josiah said.
"I was a child when I was young. I didn't know any better. I fought all day and always caused a lot of trouble for my mother and sister."
Hiri withdrew her gaze from the window and looked at Josiah again.
"So the reason why I hate children is because I hate me when I was young."
"You don't have to … care too much about it. Childhood is childhood, but now it's different." Josiah inexplicably had a strange premonition.
"Well, now it's different … and now I have to try to like children."
As Hiri said this, her voice became lower and lower.
"Wait, wait, wait." Josiah felt that his premonition should be true.
"Even if you wait a little longer, it's still true. I can feel … that child's existence."
Under Josiah's gaze, Hiri carefully placed her hand on her abdomen. At this moment, Josiah's brain went into a state of shutdown and paused for about three seconds.
A lot of strange words flashed through Josiah's mind, but Josiah's throat didn't allow Josiah to say these words.
Finally, after a long time, excitement surged through Josiah's entire body. The only thing Josiah could do was to hug the girl in front of him and pull her into his embrace.
"Isn't it … a little too early?" Hiri whispered in Josiah's ear.
"It's fine."
Josiah smelled the scent of Hiri's hair and felt the warmth from her cheeks. A warm feeling emerged in Josiah's heart.
"But Josiah, will a child born between a Chaos Demon Race and a human be alright?"
Hiri whispered in Josiah's ear. Her voice sounded uneasy.
This also made Josiah recover from his joy. The demons had always been forbidden from marrying outsiders, and the ruler of the Realm of Demons had never told Josiah the reason.
In Josiah's impression, the demons should be unable to reproduce with humans, but according to the records of the High Elves, the Chaos Demons themselves were a type of "humans who had obtained special powers".
"I will ask my elder sister and the High Elves elders … They might know something," said Josiah.
"But what if something really happens?"
Hiri curled up in Josiah's arms like a cat. Perhaps this was her most vulnerable moment.
"Nothing will happen. No matter what happens, I will guarantee that nothing will happen."
Josiah used his fingers to curl Hiri's long silver hair and said softly.
"Just nice, I have a surprise for you in four days."
"Four days? I think I know what the surprise is, "Hiri said as she rubbed against Josiah's chest again." But I will still wait with anticipation. "
"Mm …"
Josiah looked at the streets of Squirrel Street again. There was still an uneasy feeling lingering in Josiah's heart.
Perhaps it was an illusion, but when Josiah's gaze swept across a corner of Squirrel Street, a faint blue light flashed.
…
Four days after the Jar of Gold reward was released.
Josiah had already announced the number of Jar of Gold on the spellcaster forum, which was a total of 50 Jar of Gold. The post also informed everyone of the remaining Jar of Gold.
On the fourth day, there were only five Jar of Gold that had not been found in the entire world.
Thus, many movie fans embarked on a journey to find the Jar of Gold!
"That's what today's newspaper said."
Hai Lan shouted as he stood at the end of Squirrel Street with a newspaper in his hand.
He did not leave Noland overnight with his brother. After two consecutive days of probing, Hai Lan chose to return to his old profession.
To his surprise, Josiah fulfilled his promise. For the next few days, no one disturbed Hai Lan's life.
"Give me a newspaper!"
"Yes, sir."
Hai Lan passed the newspaper to a middle-aged man and continued his job of selling newspapers.
"There are still five Jar of Gold left. I remember there was an auction at Noland's black market yesterday, right?"
"The final price seems to be twelve thousand gold coins. That's scary … That's enough to buy a house in Noland."
"If I got it, I would definitely sell it … Who would be stupid enough to spend so much money to watch those movie stars?"
Hai Lan quietly listened to the discussions of the people around him. If he sold the Jar of Gold, he and his brother would not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.
Perhaps … this was the right choice for him. He would find a suitable person to sell the Jar of Gold and escape this city … The further the better!
Just as Hai Lan was deep in thought, he suddenly raised his head and looked at a hidden corner of Squirrel Street.
"Kid, give me a newspaper, hey! Didn't you hear me? Where are you going?! "
When someone wanted to buy a newspaper from Hai Lan, Hai Lan immediately fled to the other side of the street when he saw the figure.
His movements were agile as he quickly left the main street of Squirrel Street and found a sewer entrance deep in an alley.
After passing through a series of complicated intersections, Hai Lan arrived at a small space filled with posters.
When Lu Qi saw him, he excitedly walked up to him.
