Qiao Xiu's proposal left the fraudster in a state of hesitation.

"Isn't that a good deal? Pruk. ”

Without waiting for the fraudster to refuse, an elf slowly descended the stairs on the second floor, and her grayish-purple skin told Qiao Xiu that her race was one of the very few branches of the elves... Dark Elves.

This race, which originally lived underground, was much rarer than the Forest Elves.

But Qiao Xiu always felt that there was a special sense of disobedience in her, a vague sense of confusion.

It's a pity that Qiao Xiu's bloodline sense seems to have failed in this dark elf, and he can't see her true face clearly through perception at all.

"We shouldn't do that."

The fraudster, known as Pruck, muttered to himself.

"Your shabby shop doesn't have a lot of customers all year round, and you've adopted so many orphans that you can't make them eat any kind of gritty black bread every day, and Nolan can't buy such shoddy food in this place."

The dark elf walked over to the table and picked up the bag of gold coins that Qiao Xiu had placed on the table, weighed it and threw it to.

Under the persuasion of the dark elves, he finally agreed to Qiao Xiu's proposal.

After convincing Pruk, the Dark Elves didn't linger too long, and just happened to pass by Josiu when they left the hotel.

"I always felt like I'd seen this elf somewhere."

Ciri looked at the back of the dark elf leaving, and there was an inexplicable and familiar feeling.

"I've seen it, I've seen it in the Demon Realm, it may be my sister or my sister's spies, and the worst thing is my eldest brother... Or... The other three dukes? ”

Qiao Xiu was sure that he had seen this dark elf in the Demon Realm, but he couldn't remember exactly where it was.

In other words, she has been secretly observing herself since she was in the Demon Realm.

In the entire Demon Realm, someone will be sent to do this, and the most likely one is Qiao Xiu's eldest sister Cexili, after all, Qiao Xiu's eldest sister's job is to be a monitor.

As for the eldest brother of the third prince, Noggs, and the fourth sister Fuya, Qiao Xiu rarely had contact with these two.

"Are you going to arrest her and ask her?"

Ciri's principle of doing things completely follows the principle of not cowardly, that is, cowardly.

"There's no chance, I can't feel her breath anymore, and it's not necessary."

The dark elf's ability to conceal her aura was stronger than that of the elf next to the Flower of Phalosi, and she completely disappeared from Qiao Xiu's perception not long after she walked out of the hotel.

"Anyway, let's get down to business now."

Qiao Xiu didn't expect that someone in the Demon Realm would expand his power to the city of Nolan.

The surveillance of that dark elf must have involved a struggle for power in the demon world.

Could it be that the brothers and sisters of the third prince would suspect Qiao Xiu of pulling reinforcements in the human world, preparing to counterattack a wave of demon realm and forcibly take the throne?

Speaking of which, Qiao Xiu has often rubbed the hearthstone with the archbishop of the Holy Cult Army and the female knight recently, and was distorted by the dark elf and sent back......

But it's not a big problem, the current Qiao Xiu is no longer the weak third prince he used to be.

"Please go upstairs, you two, and I'll show you the room."

The fraudster also seemed to be deliberately avoiding the topic of the Dark Elves, and after making a note on the shabby ledger, he rose from his position and led the way.

"How long have you been in the city?"

Qiao Xiu followed behind him, he was deliberately avoiding the topic of dark elves, and Qiao Xiu could only get some information from the side.

“……”

This fraudster's personality is diametrically opposed to his racial name, he doesn't seem to be very talkative, and he also knows that if he talks too much, he will reveal some unnecessary information, so in the face of Qiao Xiu's question, he just silently led the way in front and did not answer.

Qiao Xiu could only end the topic for a while, looking at this hotel, the hotel uses a spiral staircase common to some libraries, there are four floors, although the reception hall is not large, but the internal space is much more spacious than Qiao Xiu imagined.

The whole inn had an antiquated air to it, and parts of the floor creaked when stepped on, and any nobleman would have complained that 'It's no different from a farmer's barn!' ’

In addition to the fraudster manager, there were several children of inhuman race in this inn, who hid behind a wall and poked their heads out, staring curiously at Qiao Xiu and Ciri.

"You adopted the half-dragons and the gray cats?"

Qiao Xiu waved at them, and they shrank back as if they were frightened, looking very scared of humans.

"Their parents put them in foster care and never came back." He said.

Squirrel Street is one of the few places in the world that can accommodate non-human races... But it's just this street, and except for a few curious spellcasters, outsiders don't come near it at all.

It's good if they look similar to humans, for example, elves and dwarves are acceptable races for most humans, such as half-dragons are not at all, and gray cats can be kept as pets.

"Life has always been so hard, but there will always be a turnaround."

When he took out the key to open the door of a room for Qiao Xiu to show him, Qiao Xiu's words made his movements pause for a moment.

"Turnaround... Impossible......" His attitude towards humanity is as cautious as that of a child of an inhuman race, but in a different way.

"How do you know if you don't try? Mr. Planck, in the coming period, your inn may welcome a group of humans and... A bunch of banshees, can this inn house banshees? ”

Qiao Xiu hadn't forgotten his own photographer ladies, who had been waiting in the castle of the Skeleton for a long time.

"Banshees and... Mankind? ”

He gritted his teeth and knew that it was not a good errand, but he had already accepted Qiao Xiu's money, and in the end he could only choose to compromise and nodded.

"Don't worry, I won't let them hurt the children you adopted."

Qiao Xiu knew what he was really worried about, and this reassurance didn't seem to have any effect.

After handing over the rest of the room key to Qiao Xiu, he left directly.

"Are you really going to set this place up for a movie?"

Ciri walked into the room and looked around, feeling that it was somewhat similar to the scene described in the script.

"Is there anything wrong?"

"What's wrong is that the people from the troupe can accept it?"

Ciri poked the sheets with his magic wand, although it looked a little old, the whole room was quite clean, and it seemed that the people in the inn had carefully cleaned it.

The only thing that made Ciri feel like it shouldn't be there was a few mushrooms growing on the wall.

For example, in the eyes of some races, this kind of fungus is an ornament like a flower, but in the eyes of humans, it means that 'this ghost place is moldy to the point of growing mushrooms, how can people live?' ’

"If you can't accept it, let them leave the set, and I'm not forcing them, Nolan is not just a black swan troupe."

Qiao Xiu is not begging people from this troupe to participate in the filming of this movie, Qiao Xiu is the director, and the next process is called 'audition'.

Whether they can endure hardships is the first step to test them, and what Qiao Xiu needs is actors, not those delicate aristocrats.

All that's left for Josiu to do is write a letter to Mrs. Nishizawa and ask her Black Swan troupe to come over for auditions, of course... The premise is that the Black Swan Theatre is willing to go to this street after hearing about 'Squirrel Street'.

………………

The Falosi Mansion, a luxurious mansion with a dedicated rehearsal space for the troupe, as well as a private practice space for the Flower of Phalosi.

Caroli stretched her body in the empty room in her dance dress.

No matter how famous the Flower of Algorithm Losi was, she did not forget to practice these basic tasks every day.

In addition to acting, there is also a part of the performance of a stage play that is supported by dance, and as a good stage actor, beautiful dancing is essential.

She is still young, and her physical development is not completely over, so she does not dare to relax for a moment.

After all, the Fallosis are not like the girls of the Osta, who can have a tall and sexy body even if they don't practice when they are young.

At the end of the day's practice, the elven attendant behind her showed her figure, took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and at the same time used the magic unique to the elves to help her recover her strength.

"Miss, are we really not going back to China?"

She had begun to miss the cultural scenery of Fallosi and the natural atmosphere of being close to the big forest.

Although the city of Nolan also has many advantages, as long as the Chaos Demon is there, all the advantages have become disadvantages in the eyes of this elf girl.

"I won't go back to China until I'm done with a movie, and that's what my mother thinks."

Caroli walked to the door of the room and pushed the door open, the whole area was for the Black Swan Troupe to practice, with a lot of iron hangers on the outside, and a dazzling array of costumes hanging on them.

Caroli's petite figure was obscured by these clothes, so that the actors in the other Black Swan troupes did not notice her presence and continued to talk to themselves.

"Mrs. Nishizawa said we might be in the next movie."

"Did the Duchess really find the producer of that movie? Also to the... We're one of the best theatre companies in the world, and it's easy to convince that producer as a duchess. ”

Several members of the Black Swan Theatre Company, who had finished their day's contact with Caroli, sat together and discussed.

The news that the next movie will be performed by the Black Swan Theater Troupe is unknown when it has quietly spread throughout the troupe.

Caroli is not worried that her heroine identity will be snatched away, and she will always be the most eye-catching black swan in this troupe.

"Did you think we'd go inside the castle and shoot it? Or is it a place as stately as the Vansena Palace in Falosi? Maybe you can even meet Belle and the Demon Prince. ”

"Maybe it's Nolan's Crystal Palace, if I can dance with the prince in that dress like Belle, but I don't really like that demon prince."

"What! Don't you want to touch those balls?! ”

Caroli silently listened to the conversation between the girls she had performed with for many years, and her heart did not fluctuate at all.

The composition of the Black Swan Troupe is basically a mix of nobles and commoners, and when Mrs. Nishizawa and the other founders were selected, they selected the best students from the Fallosi Academy of Arts, and of course, there were also many minor nobles with connections.

But no matter how good their birth is, the achievement of the best troupe in Farrosi is also where it is, although the reputation of the members is not as famous as Caroli in the whole of Fallosis, but it is also the dream lover of many Fallosi teenagers and girls.

This caused the members of the troupe to have a unique arrogance of a black swan.

"What do you think, Frey?" Caroli listened to their discussion, and suddenly asked the elves beside her in a low voice.

"I... I think he's going to throw us in the lava pool, or in the mouth of that monster. ”

The elf girl answered Caroli truthfully, with her impression of Qiao Xiu, who was completely far from the director of the movie, and was completely a dangerous demon.

So she tried her best to oppose Caroli's contact with Qiao Xiu, but unfortunately Caroly's mother seemed to have made up her mind.

"It's not going to be that bad."

Caroli actually has no bottom in her heart, she has never been exposed to movie acting.

In the past, the owner of any theater would do his best to entertain the Black Swan Troupe, which was the most dazzling pearl of the whole of Falosi, and the owner of any theater did not dare to slack off.

The best room, the best service attitude, and the best stage are commonplace for the whole black swan.

The performance on the stage itself is full of elegance and romance.

But judging from the content of Qiao Xiu's practice for Caroli, the script of the next movie seems to be far from the romantic atmosphere in the stage play script she is familiar with.

So when the girls in the Black Swan troupe are still looking forward to the romantic scene of the encounter between the prince in the luxurious castle, Caroli, who has seen through everything, is worried about how to say 'F**K' generously.

And this lively atmosphere gradually returned to calm after a middle-aged housekeeper hurriedly came to the practice place of the Black Swan Troupe.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please pack your bags today, and tomorrow you will be on your way to the next show under the Duchess's arrangement."

The middle-aged housekeeper paused a little when he said this, and found that it was not very appropriate to describe the scene of the performance, so he changed his statement.

"Or the scene of the film."

"It's true...", someone let out a small cheer after hearing this.

"That Mr. Butler! Where was the filming location? One of the more daring actors raised his hand and asked which middle-aged butler it was.

The butler was silent for a while, and after glancing at the contents of the instruction written by Mrs. Nishizawa herself, he whispered the name of a place.

"Squirrel Street."
