Chapter 91: The Preamble

The conditions for admission to the Universal Exposition were harsh, at least before she met Josiu, Herlan had applied three times to the High School of Magic where she was studying, hoping that her magic guide machine would be exhibited in it, but it was rejected because there was not enough space.

The Crystal Palace occupies such a large area that part of it is provided to various countries, and part of it is occupied by the High Schools of Magic and the famous alchemy workshops of Nolan.

With such a tight space on display, Herlan, an apprentice of ordinary magical status, would definitely be rejected.

Mrs. Nishizawa represents Fallosi, a national exhibition venue, which is completely enough for Joshua to be the venue for the development of Hearthstone.

After confirming the cooperative relationship between the two parties, Qiao Xiu and Mrs. Nishizawa ended happily with this afternoon tea.

It's a pity that Qiao Xiu didn't see the figure of the Flower of Phalosi during this period, and he may be hiding somewhere to practice his acting skills.

After returning to the Hearthstone Tavern from the Falosi Mansion, Josiu began to prepare for the upcoming Universal Exposition.

In addition to optimizing the game Hearthstone, the content prepared is to try to modify the 'camera' made by the demon prince.

Affected by the magic of chaos, Qiao Xiu's desire to transform successfully was purely for a face.

Fortunately, on the day of the World Exposition, Qiao Xiu successfully made this camera have the function of live broadcasting.

"Succeeded this time?"

Sitting in Qiao Xiu's office, Ciri looked at the pile of protocrystall residues on the table, which made her realize once again how unstable the magic of the Chaos Demon really was.

"It worked, but only this one."

Qiao Xiu exhaled and leaned on the seat behind him, fortunately, the knowledge of the demon prince's research of the original crystal still remained in Qiao Xiu's memory, otherwise Qiao Xiu would not be able to let this camera have the function of live broadcast in a short time.

"What's the use of this thing?"

Ciri was holding a cake she had bought from the bakery, and she had a little cream on the corner of her mouth, but she didn't notice it.

When Ciri attended a tea party hosted by a noble lady before, he didn't touch the snacks on the table that looked very tasty until the end of the afternoon tea time.

The reason for this can be summed up in one sentence is to eat other people's soft mouths, at that time, Ciri saw which Mrs. Nishizawa Qiao Xiu was negotiating, as a person on Qiao Xiu's side, she always felt that she would have no confidence when she ate other people's things.

It's just that afterwards, Ciri dragged Qiao Xiu to the bakery to make up for his loss.

"You'll know when you get to the World Exposition."

Qiao Xiu put the only 'original crystal' that had been successfully transformed into his suitcase.

Just then, Ciri's sister, Herland, also came to the second floor of the tavern, and she stood at the door of Josiu's office and knocked on the door.

"Mr. Qiao Xiu."

Herlan was still dressed in a very simple magic robe today, but even in this loose magic robe, her tall figure was still very eye-catching.

"I ...... Is it really possible to participate in the Universal Exposition? ”

Although Herlan had confirmed with Qiao Xiu countless times a few days ago, Herlan still couldn't believe it on the day of the World Exposition.

She knew exactly how difficult it would be to get her magic machine into the Crystal Palace's exhibition halls, and she was still struggling with how to convince the judges to give Hearthstone a place at the Universal Exposition.

But within a few days, Joshua informed Herlan that she didn't have to worry about it.

"Of course, I promised you that this magic machine made by you would be on display at the Universal Exposition, and that everyone would know that you were the maker, and now it is my turn to fulfill my promise."

The basis of the Hearthstone arcade was based on a magic machine made by Herland, who had signed a contract with the demon Josiu.

As if to confirm Qiao Xiu's words, a middle-aged man dressed as a housekeeper walked up to the second floor and walked over slowly after seeing Qiao Xiu.

"Mr. Qiao Xiu, the carriage arranged by the Duke is already waiting for you below, do you need me to have someone come over and move the magic guide machinery on display under you?"

This butler was the one Qiao Xiu met in the Falosi Mansion.

"It's been ready for a long time"

Joshua picked up the suitcase on the table, the capacity of this box was larger than Joshua had imagined, and there was no problem stuffing it with a Hearthstone arcade machine, as well as the magic machine that Herlan had used to draw it.

"Miss Herland, how about we talk about the rest at the World Exposition?"

"Of course no problem!"

Herlan had been waiting for this day for a long time, and she had taken a break from her studies in her alchemy workshop for months in order to have her mother's posthumous work exhibited at the Universal Exposition.

Led by a middle-aged butler, Qiao Xiu came to the street outside the Hearthstone Tavern, where there was already a carriage engraved with the family crest of Duke Kuroki waiting beside the street.

After saying goodbye to Marina, who was looking after the tavern, Josius got into the carriage with Herlan and Ciri.

The interior of the carriage was as extravagant as it looked, and Josiu found a window seat to sit down, and Ciri sat opposite Josiu with her sister Herland.

The Universal Exposition was arguably the biggest celebration since Nolan's founding, with the streets filled with primordial crystals that radiated various lights, and the sky flickered with light-filled flowers.

The Hearthstone Tavern is located in Nolan's business district, and it takes a long time for a horse-drawn carriage to walk from the crowded streets of the business district to where the Crystal Palace is located.

Taking advantage of this time, Herlan and Ciri started a ping-pong battle as before to pass the time.

Johew wasn't much interested in ping pong, and when Hearthstone really became popular in the city of Nolan, Joshua might try to make some other games.

For example, some pixel games on the little overlord that I loved in my childhood... But now that he was participating in Nolan's celebration, Qiao Xiu also took advantage of this time to relax.

Tired of seeing the street outside, Josiu turned his gaze to the two sisters, Ciri and Herland.

There was an indescribable fragrance throughout the carriage, probably the scent of the carriage.

But what Joshua couldn't deny was that sitting across from Heri and Herland were a fantastic sight.

Of course, Qiao Xiu knew everything about Ciri's feelings for him, and if he could find such a beautiful girlfriend on earth, it would definitely be a blessing from several lifetimes.

After coming to Nolan, Qiao Xiu has been busy for almost two months in order to consolidate his foundation in the city, and he should really take care of his emotional affairs.

While Qiao Xiu was thinking about this, the carriage drove on the bustling streets of Nolan for nearly half an hour, and finally came to a slow stop.

"Mr. Qiao Xiu, the venue for the World Exposition has arrived, and the Duchess is already waiting for you at the Crystal Palace."

An exhibition where almost all the major powers of the world gathered, held to exhibit the world's newest magic guide machinery, Qiao Xiu patted his suitcase.

It's time to give the people of this world a glimpse of entertainment in the information age.
