Hearthstone Tavern.

"Qiao Xiu, if my reasoning is correct, the murderer of the Blood Character Research Chapter should be a carriage driver!"

Tyrin takes on the role of a detective at Josei's desk and prophesies the rest of Sherlock Holmes.

It's a pity that this detective lady has no momentum at all when reasoning.

"I've already written the last part of the Scarlet study." Qiao Xiu put the rest on the desk, and Tyrene instantly showed an expression like a little girl looking forward to candy, "As for the final murderer, do you need me to give you spoilers?" ”

"Please don't!"

Tyren carefully took the rest of the table, and then a primordial crystal condensed with the breath of life appeared in her palm.

"This is the crystallization condensed by the holy tree this month, and the coverage area should be twice as large as before, and the holy tree also told me that the next crystal is estimated to take a while."

"It's amazing to only be able to vomit one hairball every other month, which is already incredible as a feline."

Qiao Xiu pondered the crystal in his hand for a moment.

"Then Qiao Xiu... I'll go through the last part first. ”

"Well, it won't disappoint you."

Qiao Xiu watched the frost elf leave his study, and Qiao Xiu was the only one left in the entire study.

In order to prepare for the upcoming trial of the sage, Ciri has already gone to the Mage Tower with the purple-clothed man to study.

"So to whom should this crystal go?"

Qiao Xiu opened a stack of letterheads from the drawer, all of which were intricately engraved with family coats of arms from nobles from all over the world.

Since Qiao Xiu officially identified himself and the existence of the magic net in the Crystal Palace.

The first to make a deal with Qiao Xiu and decide to introduce the magic net was the Iron Country.

The content of the deal is what Joshua and Prince Kaos talked about in less than three minutes.

The deal consisted of a hundred World Tree leaves, and the Iron Nation in exchange for money.

The nobles from other countries who visited the Crystal Palace also paid more or less for a few leaves of the World Tree and the client of the magic web, which was only a tentative attempt by them.

In the end, they still underestimate the convenience and fun of the information age, or rather... Toxicity.

This has also led to the recent increase in requests to write to Joshua asking to buy World Tree leaves.

In order to prevent his cat from being pulled bald, Qiao Xiu only provided twenty leaves a day.

The leaves of the World Tree are an extremely rare alchemy material in their own right, and the value conferred by the magic web...... This has also led to an increase in the price of the leaves of the World Tree worldwide.

"Mr. Qiao Xiu!"

There was a knock on the door outside the study, and judging by the voice, it was Lady Marina, the 'butler' of the Hearthstone Tavern.

"Come in."

Qiao Xiu continued to sort out the letters in his hand, and Qiao Xiu couldn't read any of the nobles' family crests on these letters, and he didn't have the idea of opening the letters and reading the contents carefully.

"There are a lot of people in the tavern today, and they all want to talk to you about business." Lady Marina's old face was a little tired, "and the situation is a little out of control. ”

For the past half month, Lady Marlena and Ser White Vitex have been helping Qiao Xiu deal with the sale of the leaves of the World Tree.

"I asked them to come." Qiao Xiu pondered the smooth Sacred Tree Crystals in his hands, "Yesterday, I entrusted the Gray-clothed Man to reply to these senders' letters in a unified manner, it seems that they are very interested in the 'Sacred Tree Crystal'. ”

"Mr. Qiao Xiu, the current visitors to the Hearthstone Tavern are all great nobles from various countries, some of them are visiting in person, if they all want your goods, I suggest that an auction be held."

Lady Marlena recalled the situation in the tavern just now, and the nobles sitting there, without Qiao Xiu's protection, Lady Marlena would have caused her great trouble if she angered anyone,

"Auctions? There's no point in this kind of money transaction, and I don't want money. ”

Qiao Xiu tidied up his clothes in the mirror, and then pushed open the door of the study.

"Then ...... you are going to do?"

"I'm going to use this opportunity to build a whole new career system, or... How do you get the honor? Anyway, please help me pack the letters on my desk and throw them away. ”

After Qiao Xiu finished speaking, he closed the door of the study.

The atmosphere on the first floor of the Hearthstone Tavern was still as usual, with the presence of dwarves, and the nobles would not make any rash moves.

When Qiao Xiu came to the first floor of the Hearthstone Tavern, he instantly felt that the eyes of many people were focused on him.

"Joshua Yanorrod, I finally saw you today."

The first person to step forward to greet Qiao Xiu was Fred, the general of the Iron Nation, who had a one-sided relationship.

He is the current ambassador of the Iron Nation to Nolan and once participated in the premiere of "This Demon Is Not Too Cold" with Prince Kaos.

"I've been busy with the update of the magic net lately, so I don't have much time to show up."

Qiao Xiu shook the general's hand, and the feeling was like holding a piece of steel, and the calluses in the general's palm were terrifyingly thick.

"I received your letter yesterday, is it true?" General Fred asked.

"Hasn't your majesty already seen the existence of crystals? In Orsenburg, the country of steel. ”

Qiao Xiu had been worried some time ago that the king of the Iron Nation would forcibly requisition the sacred tree crystals of the Internet café in Orsenburg, but judging from the content of Dorothy's chat in the movie association, His Majesty the king was still quite restrained, or... He was confident that he could get the same Sacred Tree Crystal.

"Sorry for interrupting you."

While General Fred was pondering the price to buy the crystal, a gray-haired and gray-eyed man suddenly intervened in the conversation between Qiao Xiu and General Fred.

His long, narrow eyes resemble those of a fox.

"Greetings to the great new king of the Frost Nation, Josieu Arnorod." As soon as he came up, he directly identified himself: "I am from Karshilov, the eight families of the Land of Frost, and I am also the head of the Loravt Chamber of Commerce. ”

"Don't you old foxes know the most basic courtesies?"

The expression on General Fred's face became very terrifying.

"Wait for you miserly guys to come up with those ridiculous chips?"

The man's narrow eyes stared at General Fred without any fear.

The atmosphere became very tense at this moment, and Qiao Xiu could vaguely notice that their relationship did not look very good.

With these two beginnings, the rest of the conversation became chaotic, and the representatives of various countries directly approached Qiao Xiu, put forward their bargaining chips and said that they would definitely satisfy Qiao Xiu.

All of a sudden, the entire Hearthstone Tavern turned into a small auction, and every now and then dwarves came in to make a fuss.

"Mr. Qiao Xiu... Do you want to ask them back first? ”

Lady Marlena watched as the atmosphere in the tavern gradually heated up, and if she continued like this, she was likely to offend everyone present at once.

"There's no need, let them fight if they want to." Qiao Xiu clapped his hands vigorously, "Gentlemen, and those young ladies sitting in the corner!" I regret to tell you that no matter how much you quarrel, there is only one Sacred Tree Crystal in my letter. ”

Qiao Xiu took out the crystallization of the holy tree, and in an instant, the breath of vitality overflowed throughout the tavern.

Even if the crystal does not have the function of connecting to the magic net, it is a treasure in itself.

"I know you're willing to pay a lot of money for this thing, but I'm not very interested in money." Qiao Xiu said.

"Do you mean to trade something else for it?" The fox-like man asked.

"It's... It's a good idea, but I don't have anything I want right now. ”

Qiao Xiu shook his head slightly after thinking for a while.

"Just tell me how to get that crystal." General Fred didn't have much patience.

"The way to get it is simple, and that is to fight... Or rather, the competition. Qiao Xiu's gaze glanced over everyone present, "I'm going to hold a small competition, and the winner of the room will get this crystal... Gratuitous. ”

Qiao Xiu waved the sacred tree crystal in his hand, as if he was holding a trophy representing honor.
