"Do you understand it?"
Needless Heart whispered to his old friend who was standing beside him.
They had watched several matches between Herland and Messiah. Even if they were new to Hearthstone, they could instantly understand how to play it.
"I understand, but I don't understand."
The grey-robed elder kept stroking his long beard as he stared at the magic machine with his brows tightly furrowed.
This was the first time he had seen such a complicated magic machine ever since he explored the underground ruins.
Although this magic machine could only be used for entertainment, its structure was something the grey-robed elder had never heard of before.
He didn't have the third eye of a Desireless, so he could only look at Hearthstone and think about how these animations and card settlement mechanisms were implemented through inscriptions.
The more he thought about it, the more chaotic his thoughts became … Until now, he still couldn't understand the theory behind it.
This was unrealistic for someone like him who had great attainments in inscriptions and had at least 200 inscriptions.
However, the truth was right in front of him. The knowledge he had spent more than a hundred years learning was useless.
"Old sirs, I'm sorry to tell you that this isn't something that can be understood just by watching."
Josiah heard their whispers. In fact, they didn't have any intention of hiding it.
If they could really learn the computer language by watching Hearthstone's livestream, then Josiah's years of programming on Earth would have been in vain.
Not to mention that they might not even know the concept of computers.
"You're the one who did this …"
The grey-robed elder had been thinking about how to construct a 'chat window' when he first met Josiah.
Although there were spells that could transmit messages to each other, displaying words in one's field of vision and transmitting information through these words was a spell that no system of inscriptions could construct at this stage of the game.
"Not entirely. There's also Miss Herland and my assistant Hiri's help … as well as a mysterious organization called Blizzard."
Josiah kept them in suspense before explaining the key questions they wanted to know.
This caused Heartless and the grey-robed elder to look at Hiri and Herland respectively.
Hiri and Herland were just ordinary spellcaster apprentices in their eyes. They were more concerned about the mysterious organization called Blizzard that Josiah mentioned.
At least, Heartless sorted out all the organizations he had come into contact with over the years and realized that no matter which country they came from, whether they existed on the surface or in the shadows, he couldn't find any existence with the name Blizzard.
"But the most basic inscription knowledge that constructed this game came from a faraway country."
Josiah lied. Chaos demons had no interest in controlling magic inscriptions.
As the archbishop of the Nation of Saints, Wuhao's understanding of the demon race was definitely not at the level of ordinary people. Besides, this programming knowledge was originally learned by Josh on Earth.
When Josiah spoke, Josiah could feel the grey-robed elder 'earnest gaze.
"A faraway country …"
The grey-robed elder seemed to be thinking about how far away this country was, while Heartless had a basic guess in his heart.
Spellcasters were a bunch of lunatics who thirsted for knowledge. Just the phrase 'from a faraway country' was enough to arouse their interest.
That was because there were too many unknown secrets buried in the underground ruins of Noland, so many that they hadn't deciphered them until now.
And Josiah … seemed to have inherited this knowledge. This was enough for the council of seven to invite Josiah for a cup of tea. However, Josiah didn't intend to monopolize this knowledge.
Josiah didn't mind sharing the entry-level programming knowledge with them. If Josiah wanted to create AAA masterpieces in the future, the workload of programming would be too much for him to handle alone. No matter how strong the physique of a Chaos demon was, it would die suddenly.
"I'm willing to share this knowledge, but only with one of you."
Looking for a mentor to learn new knowledge definitely required tuition fees. Anyway, it was an entry-level programming knowledge, and Josiah's tuition was very cheap. They only needed to cooperate with Josiah for a small performance.
"One of us? Then … what's the condition? "
Heartless gripped the cane in his hand. He could hear the malice in Josiah's words. No matter how tempting the knowledge in Josiah's hands was, Josiah was ultimately a demon, his enemy.
In other words, Josiah was very likely to suggest that the two of them kill each other. Only the one who survived would be qualified to learn this common demon trick.
"It's very simple."
Josiah pointed at the Hearthstone in front of him. Herland and Messiah had already stopped fighting.
Just listening to the conversation between Heartless and Josiah, Messiah didn't have the mood to continue playing Hearthstone. This was because her mentor was under the temptation of the demon, hoping to learn the demon's knowledge!
Messiah opened his mouth, wanting to intervene in the conversation and stop his mentor's crazy behavior. However, Heartless seemed to see through Messiah's thoughts and gestured for Messiah to calm down.
"Next, this magical machine will be displayed on the stage of the World Expo. Therefore, during the demonstration, I hope that the two of you can fight three rounds of Hearthstone on it. The winner will win two out of three rounds, and I will share the knowledge I obtained from the underground ruins with the winner."
Josiah was thinking about how to fully promote Hearthstone at the World Expo. In the end, Josiah came to a very simple conclusion. In the words of Earth, it was a 'celebrity endorsement.'
Both Heartless and the grey-robed elder had a high status in Noland. This could be seen from Messiah and Herland's reactions.
Their influence alone was enough to attract the attention of everyone present.
"This suggestion is more cunning than I thought, but there's no problem."
The grey-robed elder agreed without a second thought. This was a very simple condition for him. Not long after, he would also be representing his academy on the central stage of the Crystal Palace. He could totally demonstrate the operation of the magical machine for Josiah.
Most importantly, he didn't have a Hearthstone card box. He had a basic understanding of Hearthstone's rules from the crowd just now.
"What about Archbishop Hearthstone's reply?"
Heartless didn't say anything and only nodded slightly in reply to Josiah.
