Chapter 85: Invitation
After Qiao Xiu returned from the White Thorn Flower Theater, he immediately returned to the dwarven underground city with Zenas, and let the demon who was on the wanted warrant of the Holy Cult Country, almost an exaggeration to use a humanoid nuclear bomb, leave Nolan through the portal.
In fact, it was mainly Qiao Xiu's guard who was reluctant to stay in a city with so many humans, and during the end of the meeting, the enthusiasm of those girls made Zenas's mane several more bows.
This made Zenas fully aware that human women were no less terrifying than those male warriors, so the demon of sinful karma asked Qiao Xiu to return to the demon world to stand by, and Qiao Xiu naturally agreed.
Qiao Xiu does not plan to hold a second fan meeting of "Beauty and the Devil", and the purpose that Qiao Xiu wants to achieve with this movie has been completed.
All that remains is to wait for the popularity of this movie to slowly subside and become a 'classic' that can be recorded in the annals of this world's history.
After all this, it was almost night, and Qiao Xiu returned to the Hearthstone Tavern, where the scenery still hadn't changed much.
The sky fell and it didn't affect the Dwarves and Humans in the Tavern, and the only minor change was that the Dwarves began to know how to use the 'trade' feature in the card box to exchange for the cards they wanted.
While the Classic pack's card pool is a little shallower for trading cards, it's still enough to keep these dwarves from faraway Africa hot for a month or two.
Qiao Xiu didn't plan to launch a new card pack at this stage, and after saying hello to his chief 'manager', Lady Marina, Qiao Xiu came to his office on the second floor.
On this tabletop piled with all kinds of useless paper is a letter, and the gilded white wattle mark on the envelope is particularly conspicuous.
It was a letter from Sir White Vitex, and the owl that sent the letter was still staring at Qiao Xiu with its brown pupils widening on Qiao Xiu's desk.
This also proves that this letter was sent not long ago, at least when Qiao Xiu had just left the theater, and Sir White Vitex wrote this letter specially for the owl to pass on to Qiao Xiu.
Spellcasters have a special plot for the mysterious creature of owls, so the work related to sending letters in the city of Nolan is carried out by pre-trained owls.
Qiao Xiu picked up the letter and opened it, and found that in addition to a piece of stationery, there was also a badge inside, the background of this badge was pure white, and the center of the badge depicted an ancient tree with a pitch-black body, the roots of the ancient tree were entrenched together, and the whole badge exuded a strange atmosphere.
For the nobles of this world, the badge is a proof of their identity and family.
At the beginning, the Skeleton Duke handed Qiao Xiu a badge engraved with an unknown mark, which made Sir White Vitex realize that the identity between him and the Skeleton Duke was not simple.
And this badge engraved with black ancient wood must also be the identity of that nobleman.
Qiao Xiu put down the badge and looked at the letter written by Sir White Vitex.
'Sorry Monsieur Josiu, for disturbing you at such an abrupt time, a duchess from Falosi, who wishes to invite you to her afternoon tea party to-morrow afternoon......
The Duke from Fallosi?
If Josiu remembers correctly, Falosi is the country in the world known as the country of art.
This is the birthplace of the theatre, and it has produced countless excellent painters and composers, and it is said that even the king himself was a lover of music.
This country's national strength is not strong in the world, but it is also a behemoth that should not be underestimated.
What did the Grand Duke from Fallosi come to me for? To get a way to shoot a movie?
This was the most likely answer that Qiao Xiu could think of.
The World Exposition in Nolan is, in one of the oldest names on earth, the 'Dazzling Society'.
Countries around the world will exhibit the most advanced magic machinery at this expo, so now in Nolan all kinds of novel magic machinery in an endless stream, the nobles around the world must also hope to get excellent magic machine technology.
For Fallosi, a country that regards opera as history, painting as a flag, and music as a national policy, there is nothing more appealing than the way 'movies' are made.
But Qiao Xiu didn't plan to show the 'movie' at the World Exposition, Qiao Xiu planned to show Hearthstone, and there was something called the 'Spellcaster Forum'.
Qiao Xiu put down the letter in his hand, waved his hand, and a window appeared in front of Qiao Xiu.
During this time, Qiao Xiu was still working overtime to write a simplified version of the system, or a fork, it took so long, coupled with the meditation cheating-like thinking acceleration effect, Qiao Xiu finally completed a simple system.
The system was originally designed to serve an application called the 'Spellcaster Forum'.
What is the fastest medium for entertainment information to spread? Newspaper? Movie? Novel? The answer, of course, is the Internet.
The Internet is undoubtedly the fastest carrier of information dissemination, so Qiao Xiu simply combined the chat application and directly made an online community, that is, the spellcaster forum.
But if this forum wants to be promoted, it will face a big problem, that is... Qiao Xiu couldn't find a 'primordial crystal' that could take on the responsibility of the server.
The Protocrystal Lizard is the creature that Qiao Xiu has found to carry the most inscriptions so far, but it is still too few for the 'Spellcaster Forum'.
Let the Protocrystal Lizard serve as the server for the caster forum, and the poor lizard will blow itself up because there are too many inscriptions that match.
And the medium of transmission is still an issue.
There is no twisted pair in this world, and there is such a good thing as optical fiber... Qiao Xiu could only rely on his own spiritual power to act as a medium of communication.
Maybe ask these nobles, what clues will they have?
Qiao Xiu picked up the badge engraved with the black ancient wood mark again, anyway, it was a free afternoon tea, and if you don't go, you won't go in vain.
The owl standing on Qiao Xiu's desk jumped on the table a few times and flew away, and there was a knock on Qiao Xiu's office door.
Qiao Xiu looked back and saw which lady magician it was.
Since Ciri is no longer bound by the 'collar', he doesn't need to follow Qiao Xiu every day, but even if Ciri leaves Qiao Xiu for a while, he will appear in front of Qiao Xiu again after a while.
Just like now, although Ciri was wearing a magic robe, her long silver-gray hair had fallen down, and she was holding a pillow in her arms, obviously prepared.
"I don't have a bed here." Qiao Xiu said.
"It's okay, I can lay the floor."
Ciri unceremoniously snatched the only chair in Qiao Xiu's office and sat down, no matter how it looked, it didn't look like a floor.
"Tomorrow you're going with me to a noble... Afternoon tea? ”
Qiao Xiu made a cup of black tea for the female mage lady, Qiao Xiu admitted that Ciri was very beautiful, and the appearance she exuded added a bit of quiet temperament to Ciri, but unfortunately it was just a disguise.
"Afternoon tea? You were invited by that noble lady? As soon as Ciri picked up the black tea, she looked up like a wolf smelling danger.
"No, it was a noble lady who invited me."
Qiao Xiu knew what Ciri was thinking, so he opened his mouth to defend himself.
"Noble wife?! Then the problem is even greater! Ciri said.
At this moment, Qiao Xiu had the urge to continue to put the collar on this young lady magician.
