Chapter 439: Tavern
Dorothy trotted out of Nolan's portal hall.
When she came to Nolan's street, she couldn't help but cough a few times.
The air in Nolan is too different from that in Orsenburg, and I am used to the smell of protocrystall particles in the air of Orsenburg, and I will inevitably be a little unaccustomed to it after coming to Nolan.
Dorothy calmed her breath and looked left and right around the streets.
It wasn't the first time she had come to Nolan, Dorothy's father had brought her there once when she was young.
At that time, Nolan left the impression on Dorothy that it was a city full of spellcasters.
Mage robes of various colors are almost standard on the streets, and wherever you go, you can see shops selling magic staff and alchemy materials.
Dorothy, who is not very interested in magic, can only use the words stereotype and monotony to evaluate Nolan back then, but now ......
"Is that an Avatar promotional poster?"
Dorothy looked up at a tall building in the distance, and above it was a large painting of a human and a creature covered in blue.
The massive painting towers over the exit of Nolan's central teleportation node, and visitors from other countries can see the painting and the characters underneath it as soon as they look up.
Dorothy had already seen "Avatar" in the Iron Country, and although she didn't mind going to see it a second time, she didn't come to Nolan today to watch a movie.
She took her suitcase and walked towards the bustling shopping street in the distance, and as soon as she entered the shopping street, her eyes were drawn to the image of a store.
It's not the products in the store that attract her, but a 'moving' painting on the wall of the store, right...... That's the movie.
It shows a black dragon that Dorothy knew, and who she had recently blasted with her retinue called Nefarian.
Dorothy stood outside the store and watched the 'movie' through the glass window, which lasted less than three minutes, about the adventurer stepping into Nefarian territory and then completely angering the black dragon.
Dorothy was not the only one who was fascinated by the image of the store, but also many tourists from other countries who came around.
"A black dragon has appeared in Nolan's underground?"
"It seems to say it's a place called Blackstone Mountain, where is that?"
Dorothy walked out of the crowd without saying a word, and she had already learned where to sign up for the competition by relying on the promotional footage.
"Everywhere... There is propaganda. ”
Dorothy continued along the street, and almost every time she walked through the walls of a shop, she could see the figure of 'Nefarian'.
In Dorothy's view, games were a niche thing, and this kind of card game was only popular in those low-level taverns, and it had always been a commoner culture despised by the aristocracy.
Therefore, Dorothy thought that the scale of this Hearthstone Open Tournament would definitely not be too large.
But now she realizes that the organizers behind this tournament are not 'ordinary Hearthstone players'.
Dorothy's eyes scanned the street, and soon found several parked carriages on the side of the road.
As long as it is a smart carriage driver, he will not let go of this opportunity to make money, and Dorothy found a carriage with the logo of a comptoir and sat on it.
"Miss, where are you going?" The coachman asked.
Dorothy pulled up the interface of the magic net and glanced at the Nolan Open-related posts.
"Commercial Street, West of Nolan, No. 27." She said.
"Hearthstone Tavern? Why are you going? The tavern was the domain of the dwarves, and they didn't like outsiders. The coachman of the carriage reminded Dorothy.
Dwarf? Are there a lot of dwarves in the Hearthstone Tavern?
Dorothy did not have a very good impression of dwarves, and when she came to Nolan as a child, she was frightened several times by the dwarves who carried axes and pickaxes in the streets.
"It's fine." Dorothy hesitated for a moment before saying to the coachman of the carriage.
The coachman of the carriage did not continue to dissuade Dorothy, and the horses began to walk slowly towards the end of the shopping street, and after about half an hour, Dorothy arrived at her destination.
She paid the coachman some of Nolan's currency, and pushed open the door of the carriage onto the street outside the Hearthstone Tavern.
Here's it... Hearthstone Tavern?
Dorothy looked up at the modest building in front of her, but it was not much larger than her family's business house.
She pushed open the door to the tavern and stepped inside, the aroma of ale mixed into the air, and the orange-yellow light around her, gave Dorothy a strange warmth.
But this feeling of comfort came to an abrupt end with the shouting of the dwarves.
Dwarf... All dwarves.
Dorothy glanced down the hall of the tavern, where two-thirds of the guests sitting around the table were dwarves, and the other part was spellcasters in spellcaster's robes.
Hearthstone is a game that the dwarves invented, right? This strange thought popped into Dorothy's head.
"A little girl I've never seen before."
"It doesn't look like a Nolan!"
Dorothy's appearance instantly attracted the attention of the dwarves, and when their eyes fell on Dorothy, she felt the urge to flee.
The bad experience of being a young child made her feel like a dwarf... Minor psychological biases.
"She looks like a lost fawn."
Some of the drunken dwarves raised their glasses and joked with a somewhat bewildered Dorothy.
This tavern must be run by a dwarf...
Dorothy searched around the tavern for someone to talk to, and finally she saw a human figure.
"Is there anything I can do to help you?"
It's beautiful...
Dorothy was already confident enough in her appearance, but she couldn't help but sigh when she saw the person in front of her.
"You're Ino? The heroine of Beauty and the Devil? Dorothy hadn't seen that movie, but she had seen quite a few posters on the caster forum.
"It's... Target. Ino didn't expect the other party to recognize him so quickly.
Since focusing on her studies, Eno has become a far cry from Belle when she was involved in the film.
"Sorry, I'm just a little surprised, I'm here for the Nolan Open."
Dorothy quickly banished all the cluttered emotions in her heart, and no matter who was holding the contest, she had to participate in it as long as she could get the twigs of the World Tree.
"If you want to sign up, please come here." Eno led Dorothy deeper into the hall.
Dorothy ignored the laughter of the dwarves around her, and followed Eno all the way to a long table.
She looked at the figure sitting behind the long table, and was slightly relieved to realize that it wasn't a dwarf.
