Nolan, Hearthstone Tavern.

"It's completely popular."

Qiao Xiu sat behind the bar in the tavern and looked at the two sages not far away, the one in gray and the one in purple.

Spellcasters who frequent the Hearthstone Tavern have become accustomed to encountering these two sages in the Tavern.

On weekends, they would find a table in the tavern and play a game or two of Go.

The fact that the sage took the lead also led to the fact that the rules seemed simple, but in fact there were thousands of variations, and the ancient board game began to become popular in Nolan.

"I might want to consider expanding the tavern."

Qiao Xiu glanced around, the Hearthstone Tavern location during the day was never enough, plus a group of spellcasters occupied a corner and began to play Go, a game basically took two to three hours.

"When exactly is the expansion going to be?"

The dark elf was sitting in front of the bar, holding a small notebook and a pen, staring at Qiao Xiu.

"Chimian, have you been idle to this extent lately?"

Josiu took a glass of ale and handed it to the dark elf, who had been sitting in the Hearthstone Tavern for almost an hour.

At first, he still came to the gray man and the purple man, and after interviewing the gray man and the purple man, he focused on Qiao Xiu.

"I'm busy, I've already made the first version of the magazine you suggested." The dark elf pointed to the two magazines that Qiao Xiu had in his hand: "The response from readers has been unexpectedly good, so I'm busy writing the second issue of the magazine, and I don't have enough manpower." ”

"Alchemy magazines and fashion magazines?"

Qiao Xiu picked up the original issue of Nolan Alchemy Magazine with the cover of the Sage's Tower in his hand and glanced at it.

The Black Dove News Agency, which is controlled by the Dark Elves, is also an organization under Qiao Xiu's command, so it is only natural that the Hearthstone Tavern has become one of the places to sell magazines.

"It's much better than I thought it would be...... And who did you get to solve the printing problem? ”

Qiao Xiu knew very little about the birth of books in this world, and the only thing he knew for sure was that there was a magic machine such as a 'printing press' in this world.

"An alchemy workshop under the Kliya Chamber of Commerce, you mentioned the concept of 'newspaper' to me before, and after I inquired, I learned that there is such a similar 'book' in the country of steel." The Dark Elf said.

"Color printing, magic is such a terrible thing."

Qiao Xiu's hand touched the surface of the magazine, and the material of the paper was not like ordinary book paper, but had a metallic texture.

This also caused Qiao Xiu to have a heavy feeling in his hand, and this magazine paid the price of lightness in exchange for every page being colorful.

"The process of making this thing was more fun than I thought it would be." The Dark Elf said.

The idea of this thing was proposed by Qiao Xiu, and the dark elves felt that it was too troublesome at first, but the Black Pigeon News Agency has been overflowing with manpower recently.

A group of reporters ran around the streets, and some of the news they found was innocuous things.

So the Dark Elves tried to make the first issue of the magazine, and she was of course the editor-in-chief.

"It's because these magazines can be written exactly as you want them to, after all, the daytime news manuscript still needs to be revised by me."

Qiao Xiu glanced at some of the articles above, and there was no shortage of gossip news in Alchemy Magazine.

"So what is the matter with you coming to me today?"

Qiao Xiu put down the magazine in his hand and looked at the dark elf who had finished drinking the ale and asked.

"Interview."

As if they had found their favorite prey, the dark elves looked at Qiao Xiu differently.

She kept turning the ink pen in her hand, as if she was eager to write something in her little notebook.

"I'm just writing code, what's there to interview." Qiao Xiu said.

"In the records of human history, we dark elves are synonymous with lies, but they are still a little worse than you, Mr. Qiao Xiu." The dark elf flipped through the small notebook in his hand.

"The director of the movie "The Shawshank Redemption" released yesterday, one of the winners of the Skerona Award, the highest award for mankind, these are the latest two, and if all the previous news is added up, it can feed the entire Black Pigeon News Agency."

"Is this self-inflicted?"

Qiao Xiu glanced at the two sages who were playing Go again.

The news of the winner of the Skrona Award, the gray man made it clear that he had not revealed it to anyone.

But it's a fact that the ceremony of this award will be watched by the whole world.

Of course, the Dark Elves would not let go of such a good opportunity.

"Let's talk about the news about the awards when the ceremony takes place, you can ask something else." Qiao Xiu said.

"Something else?" The dark elf turned the pen in his hand again, and thought for a moment.

"Then ask the question about the magic network, recently you have improved the various functions of the magic network, whether it is the magic network shopping, or the magic network vision is enough to change the lifestyle of the function, what are you going to do next?"

"The next step is definitely to focus on the gaming side."

"Games? Is there a game section of the Spellcaster Forum? Isn't the game on it always being updated? ”

Outside of work, the Dark Elves occasionally find a game or two to relax on.

And the popularity of the game partition has always been the top few in the caster forum.

This is also thanks to the fact that the Spellcaster forum is updated with a new game every once in a while.

"You mean 'Yeti Brothers', 'Squirrel Wars', and 'Knocking on Bricks' and the like?" Qiao Xiu asked.

"This type? Isn't this a game on the Magic Web? ”

The dark elves didn't understand the meaning of Qiao Xiu's words for a while.

"No, they're just the first magic net games, and the potential of the magic net hasn't been realized yet, and it's just a starting point for all this." Qiao Xiu said.

"Start?" After the dark elf recorded Qiao Xiu's words in the small notebook, he was slightly surprised.

The Dark Elves used to spend an afternoon playing the Frost Brothers on vacation, and this game of magic web was fun enough for her.

"Can you keep the information revealed below a thousand faces?" Qiao Xiu said this, and lowered his voice.

"It's not my style." The dark elf shook his head slightly, rejecting Qiao Xiu.

"It's not a big secret anyway." Qiao Xiu pointed to his head, "Have you ever thought about the principle of the magic net?" And how does it work? ”

"I thought about it, as far as I know, many spellcasters have also discussed it on the forum, and the final result is also a lot... But few of them will be reasonable to me. The dark elves said.

"The magic web itself is made up of a large number of inscriptions, do you think your brain can really handle such a large amount of inscriptions?" Qiao Xiu asked.

"That's what the spellcasters are talking about......" The dark elf rubbed her forehead, she couldn't imagine how so much information could have come to her mind.

"The answer is yes, after all, reality has proven it."

Qiao Xiu said this, and an inscription of order appeared on his hand.

"The question is close to the nature of the world, do you think the inscription was created by the gods and given to us, or is the inscription itself a vast system created by 'us' that covers the whole world... Giving humans the ability to manipulate the elements of the world? ”

"Shouldn't we be talking about the magic web? This is the subject of research by the sages of Nolan. The Dark Elves seemed to refuse to answer the question.

"It's just that after a long time of contact with the World Tree recently, I just had this idea." Qiao Xiu shook his head, as if he was also going to change the subject: "Anyway, I'm going to make a new game for the next period of time." ”

"What about the specific content of the game?"

The Dark Elf picked up the pen again and prepared to write it down in the notebook.

"Confidentiality." Qiao Xiu smiled and gave the dark elf an answer.

“……”

The Dark Elves fell silent for an instant.

"Well, it's a player-versus-player game, and it has a certain connection to Hearthstone, I originally planned to make a larger online game, but unfortunately I found that my ability was not enough, so I had to start with a single player first." Qiao Xiu immediately gave a supplement.

"It seems that if you continue to ask, you will not be willing to answer." The dark elf put down the notebook in his hand and stood up from his seat, "Qiao Xiu, about the secrets related to the World Tree you just mentioned, I suggest that you better not delve into it. ”

"Actually, I'm not interested in it, so I'd better leave this to the sages to study."

Qiao Xiu waved his hand and watched the dark elves leave the tavern.
