Nolan, the alchemy market.

Joe is preparing to find the protagonist of "Hachiko the Loyal Dog".

Fortunately, with the help of the frost elf Tailin, Qiao Xiu soon found a shop selling hounds in the chaotic alchemy market, and also found a hound in this shop that matched the image of Hachiko's young age.

"It's... It doesn't look very happy. ”

Tyren picks up the yellow puppy, who turns his head sideways and doesn't seem to be interested in Tyrene, much to Tylin's hurt.

The elves are also a race close to nature, and when Tyren used to live in the forest, although she couldn't tame some animals, it was still very easy to get close to them.

"It's... It seems to be disgusting you. ”

Qiao Xiu mercilessly made up for it next to him, and the yellow puppy's slanted expression was really suitable for sending it to the caster's forum as an emoji.

"I... Is it really so annoying to animals? Tyrin tried to communicate with the puppy, but she smacked her mouth and continued to squint at Tyrin without saying a word.

"Guest, this is a field hound from the Eastern Kingdom, and it is said that they have been destined by their owners since birth." The owner of the shop explained from the side.

"This puppy does have some special aura on it, although it's not magical."

Qiao Xiu glanced at the other puppies in the cage below, they were all from the same mother, but Qiao Xiu picked this one at a glance.

There is indeed an 'unusual' feeling about it, and it may be that the puppy's expression has a talent for becoming a meme star......

"How much does this hound cost?" Qiao Xiu asked.

Although it seems to dislike Tyrene, at least it is very obedient, and it does not fight or make trouble, which is very important for the filming of the movie.

Hachiko, the loyal dog, is very quiet when he is young, while the other puppies in the cage look overly energetic.

"Ten gold coins, sir, these puppies were brought back by my servants to the distant Eastern Kingdoms, so they are more expensive than the hounds of the main body, of course, if you think the price is too expensive, you can exchange them for other items."

This is also a feature of Nolan's Alchemy Market, a chaotic market where almost everything is sold, and spellcasters can set up stalls on the spot, preferring to exchange items for items rather than trading them for gold.

The shop that Qiao Xiu patronized was a shop on the edge of the alchemy market, which originally sold eggs from various unknown creatures, and selling hounds was just a side business.

"Items? For example, those? ”

Qiao Xiu didn't pay the bill with gold coins immediately, because when Qiao Xiu entered the alchemy market, he saw two spellcasters trading with black protozoar, which was the 'card box' of Hearthstone.

"I've been in need of some Blood Sword Grass lately, but sir, are you playing Hearthstone? It's a game unique to a tavern on a shopping street on the edge of the downtown area. ”

"Of course..."

Qiao Xiu didn't expect that this human merchant was also a Hearthstone player, and the number of customers in the tavern had gradually increased recently, and Qiao Xiu had been able to know all the guests who visited the tavern, but now it was difficult to do so.

"That's really great!"

Hearing that Qiao Xiu was also a Hearthstone player, the businessman's attitude became significantly closer.

"I'm hoping to get a warrior's epic weapon card Bloodroar, I don't know if you're gentle... Possess? He asked.

The Hearthstone Tavern has been officially open for three months in Nolan, and the card exchange system has been gradually built up among Nolan's spellcasters.

Even secretly, every card has a clear price.

"It's a pity that I didn't carry the card box with me on my trip today." Qiao Xiu took out ten gold coins and handed them to the merchant. "And the blood roar on consignment in the tavern, I remember the price is twenty-seven gold coins each."

"This ......"

His careful thinking was seen through by Qiao Xiu, and the merchant was a little embarrassed, but after Qiao Xiu bought this puppy, he still gave Qiao Xiu a wooden basket and some dried meat for the puppies to eat.

Joshua and Tyrin walked out of the shop and got back into the carriage arranged by Sir Bradhorn.

"Mr. Qiao Xiu... How do I think this puppy's barking is a bit like... Bear? ”

Tyren stroked the puppy's forehead with her hand, hoping to refresh its favorability in the simplest of ways.

But the pup still stared at Tyren with disdain, and even when the jerky was in front of it, it was indifferent.

"It may be your delusion, but it's called Hachi from today onwards."

Qiao Xiu asked the coachman of the carriage to go to the other side of Squirrel Street, the leading role of "Hachiko the Loyal Dog" had been selected when he was young, and all that was left was to go to the set to prepare for the start of filming.

The puppy seemed to react a little to the name Hachi, raised its head and looked around, but finally lay down in the wooden basket with some loss.

A text message popped up on Qiao Xiu's magic net at this time, and Qiao Xiu glanced at the signature and found that the text message was from Jia Luoli.

When Qiao Xiu opened the text message and glanced at the content inside, his mood became a little heavy.

'The Inquisition of the Church has attacked the Blackwood Forest, and the whole forest has been reduced to a sea of fire......

Really... Did disaster still strike?

Qiao Xiu glanced at the frost elf Tailin sitting on the opposite side of the carriage, and now Qiao Xiu had met two elves whose own race had been destroyed by the Inquisitor, one of them was Tailin, and the other was a dark elf.

This time, the Inquisition's actions were almost instantaneous, and Qiao Xiu was still talking to Caroli about the new movie in the morning, and in the afternoon the Blackwood Forest was declared to have fallen.

Qiao Xiu didn't even have time to send any form of military support......

'Are you safe now?' Is there anything I can do to help? ’

Caroli is a gifted actress, and Qiao Xiu doesn't want "This Demon Is Not Too Cold" to become her last work in this life, and as a friend and ally, Qiao Xiu can't watch her die at the hands of the Inquisition.

'I'm safe now, I just don't know if my mother and Frey are the same......

From the text message sent by Caroli, Qiao Xiu inexplicably felt that she was in a bad situation, not only did she lose her personal protection in a disaster, but her relatives were not around.

But this strong girl doesn't need Qiao Xiu's comfort...

'Mr. Josiu, the Inquisition has not only destroyed the dwelling place of the Blackwood Forest, but it has also put all this sin on the demons... There must have been missionaries spreading these rumors in Phalosi, and I have evidence of their invasion of the Blackwood Forest... Should I send this evidence to the camp, or to the caster's forum? ’

The first part of Caroli's message made Qiao Xiu feel a little tricky.

If the church threw the black cauldron that burned down the Blackwood Forest and slaughtered the elves on the demons, the demons would have to carry it even if they didn't want to......

For the human beings of the world are more willing to believe in the preaching of the Church of the same race than the Devil, let alone the Church in the oral presence of 'witnesses,' that is, survivors of the calamities.

Worst of all, it will intensify the hatred between humans and demons...... At that time, it will not only be the Frost Nation and the Holy Cult Nation that will attack the Demon Realm.

But fortunately, Caroli, who made a cameo appearance as a 'war correspondent', did a great job of documenting the crimes committed by the Inquisition in the Blackwood Forest in the form of photographs.

'Post on the caster forum and I'll pin your post to the top... Caroli, is there anything else you can help with? ’

'Help... I'd love to see your new film, Mr. Joshua. ’

Caroli's text message made Qiao Xiu silent for a moment, and then quickly typed back to her.

'A new movie is being filmed, and you're always welcome to come to Nolan to see it. ’
