Chapter 319: Prologue

A bottle of alchemical flask slipped from the hands of a stunned caster.

The sound of glass shattering clearly echoed throughout the Klya Alchemy Shop, completely breaking the eerie silence before.

"Belle just killed that knight on her own?"

"More than one knight!"

Due to the fact that it is a short film, the battle part is very short, and Belle kills seven knights in just one minute with the alchemy items she carries.

As she walked out of the flames with her lover, the entire alchemy shop fell silent again, but this time the silence did not last long before it was drowned out by a flood of applause.

Qiao Xiu could see the audience who were so excited that they hugged each other... Although it is only a small advertisement, it can arouse the emotions of the audience to prove that Qiao Xiu has succeeded.

"So these people will go into what you call 'buy, buy, buy'?" Ciri put the Prophet back on the ground, then glanced at the crowd around him.

"It will take a while for popularity and word of mouth to build, and TV has already attracted enough customers for this alchemy shop."

Qiao Xiu didn't expect to rely on an advertisement to let Klia Comptoir defeat all of Nolan's business rivals, but the response to the first short film was so great that Qiao Xiu believed that the audience would not be satisfied.

The picture on the screen gradually fell into darkness at this time, and Qiao Xiu did not have enough programs for the 'TV station' to run twenty-four hours a day, and this was the direction that Qiao Xiu would start next.

"If you need to buy anything, just use this contract, it's free."

Josius handed the Prophet a parchment scroll bearing the emblem of the Kriya Chamber of Commerce.

"Your Highness, it seems that the people of the Klia Merchant House are looking for you." The Prophet immediately captured the key message with the noise of the store.

After the advertisement ended, Fritt, the manager of the Klia Comptoir, hurried downstairs and looked around for Josiu.

Judging by the way he blushed, he experienced first-hand the success of this advertisement.

"It seems that it is to invite your Highness to a banquet." The Prophet continued, "This is a good opportunity for you to broaden your network, Your Highness. ”

"Uh... This is also a problem for you, Friet knows that you are my messenger. ”

Qiao Xiu didn't mean to participate in the banquet, and he didn't know where he found a top hat and crossed the crowd directly with Ciri.

While the entire Klya shop was in an atmosphere of cheering and celebrating, Joshua quietly disappeared into the shop with Ciri.

"Aren't you going to eat?"

Ciri followed behind Qiao Xiu and glanced around the alchemy market, at this time, the entire alchemy market was filled with a... It's like a festive atmosphere.

It must be the fans of Beauty and the Devil celebrating the resurrection of the Demon Prince!

"I don't mind if you want to go, but I have more important things to do next." Qiao Xiu casually found a carriage driver and sat directly on it, and then waved his hand to the prophet and his party standing at the door as a farewell.

"More important?"

Ciri directly ignored Qiao Xiu's previous words and sat in the carriage with Qiao Xiu.

"Witness the birth of a whole new genre of music." Qiao Xiu said.

………………

A slightly run-down tavern on the corner of Squirrel Street.

Shortly after the short film of Beauty and the Devil ended, the guests in the tavern were still basking in the joy of Belle's reunion with the Demon Prince.

But in the alley outside the tavern, Holm stood in the darkest corner of the alley with bruised faces, and in front of him were two tall orcs.

As soon as Holm stood up to his feet with his shaky body, one of the orcs swung his fist and slammed it into his abdomen...... His stomach acid began to churn, and his body lost its balance and collapsed on the ground covered with sewage.

"Damn... I owe you a lot of silver... It's all been returned to you. Holm propped himself up on his elbows and looked at the two orcs moving their fingers in front of him.

"To be exact, you owe a silver coin." A diminutive goblin stepped out from behind the orc, his small eyes fixed on Holm who was lying in the sewage, "And it's been thirty-seven days, Holm, you're already a 'big celebrity' on that screen, how about taking care of your past friends, right?" ”

Hearing the goblin mention the word celebrity, Holm bit his bloodied lips and clenched his fists.

But in the next second, he seemed to remember something, his clenched hands lost their strength, and his eyes dimmed.

"I... Not famous at all. Holm's voice carried a hint of pleading, "So give me a little more time for that silver coin, and I... Will be able to ......"

Before Holm could finish, the orc kicked him in the stomach again.

"Boy... You're a bit self-aware, but the one silver coin you borrowed thirty-seven days ago is now two gold coins to be repaid. The goblin's voice sounded like he was expecting something, "I know you useless human can't afford to pay it back, didn't you adopt a baby girl?" I happen to have an employer who needs that little one......"

As soon as Holm heard the goblin mention the baby girl, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the calf of one of the orcs...... This action completely enraged the orc, and he let out a low growl, trying to stomp Holm in the chest.

But in the next second, pure white magical light bloomed in the gloomy alley, and the orc seemed to be held by an invisible arm, and was not even slapped directly into the wall.

"Baby trafficking is absolutely taboo in that country, right? Ladies and gentlemen. ”

Sound... At the end of the alley, the goblin turned back in horror to find two humans standing at the end of the alley...... The staff in the hand of one of the humans was glowing faintly.

The orc beside the goblin roared, pulling a short knife from his bosom and charging at the two humans.

But the human with the staff only waved his finger, and the orc, who was nearly two meters tall, was suspended in mid-air under the effect of the magic inscription, and then slammed into the other side of the alley in a graceful arc.

The goblins had realized the disparity in strength at this moment, and the timid goblins almost didn't think about jumping directly into Nolan's sewers and disappeared.

Holm gradually regained consciousness at this time, he wiped the mud that blocked his eyes with his hand, and looked up to see the figure standing in front of him through the moonlight.

"You're lying here, and you can't play in the next game."

A pure white order inscription also appeared on Qiao Xiu's hand, and with the help of the mage's hand, he helped the human who had fallen into the sewage up.
