Chapter 191: Sending the Blade
The Hearthstone Tavern has been expanded three times under the operation of Lady Marina.
The old merchant powerwoman bought a grocery store near the Hearthstone Tavern with money from the dwarves and spellcasters, and then took down another jewelry store a week earlier.
The Hearthstone Tavern is now nearly five times larger than the slightly cramped and outdated inn it was two months ago, and is large enough to accommodate two or three live-action rings.
"Orrick, the great father of the distant mountains, please take all the bad luck from me! I swear by my beard that if a legendary card is opened this time, I'll treat everyone in the tavern to a drink! ”
"Elder Frostaxe, you have to do the ritual before you do this!"
"Just let that little girl from Ino do it!"
The dwarves were still the most lively guests of the night, they occupied a part of the Hearthstone arcade, and they were not in the mood for battle at all, and began to open card packs like crazy.
But there were also many spellcasters visiting the area this evening, and it was almost late at night, but the atmosphere in the entire Hearthstone Tavern was as lively as an aristocratic ball, and there was almost no symphony orchestra playing on the stage.
However, music from the record player replaced the symphony orchestra's playing.
"Crow! Bring all the ale wine in the cellar! Lina! There's a customer over there who needs a drink! ”
The busiest of the evenings were the attendants serving in the tavern, and even though Lady Marina had hired as many as twelve attendants, in the face of nearly a thousand guests, only twelve attendants were still insignificant.
Thankfully, most of the spellcasters in attendance came to purchase the new expansion for Goblin vs. Gnomes, and only a small fraction of the dwarves actually spent their energy on drink.
And the highest ranking of the spellcasters present today is none other than the Grey Cloak, the president of the Nolan Patent Council.
"What is Frostaxe doing?"
The Grey Man's outfit was as scruffy as ever, and the raunchy sage, in his dusty robes, dragged to the floor, and several young owls peeked out of his long whiskers.
It wasn't until the gray-clad man didn't know how to take out a few bugs from there and feed them to the young owls that they were content to burrow back.
"Prayer, dwarves have recently become popular to pray to their gods, and perform rituals before opening card packs, which are said to bring good luck."
Qiao Xiu followed the Grey Cloak and walked around the entire Hearthstone Tavern.
Many of the mages present knew the great sage, but after performing a mage salute to the Grey One, they began to join in the carnival of the new card pack launch.
"Maybe I'll try it later, but for now, Mr. Josieu Arnorod, please take this."
The Grey Man still believes in the metaphysics of the dwarves, and it is normal to pray to the gods that he can have good luck in this world.
The Grey Cloak's visit to the Hearthstone Tavern in the middle of the night today is indeed for the Goblin vs. Gnome card pack, but there is another extremely important thing.
"Invitation?"
Qiao Xiu looked at a rolled up parchment scroll handed over by the gray-clothed man, and there was an owl's wax stamp in the place of the scroll, which was a very formal invitation, and Qiao Xiu began to read the contents after opening it.
"Hire me to be a tutor at a high school of magic in Nolan? I... The study of magic may not be as proficient as my assistant. ”
Qiao Xiu glanced at Ciri, who was in the corner of the tavern, this closed lady who participated in the closed beta, relying on her set of mechanical methods, had already started the mode of mass killing.
If nothing happens tonight, Ciri could be the Legends player.
"It's not about magic, and I'd like you to be the instructor of the 'programming' course, because no one in the world knows more about the incredible use of inscriptions than you do."
The Gray Man has been studying the principle of that application since he got Qiao Xiu's open-source chat window application at the World Exposition.
He did study it, but almost one-third of the inscription basis was incomprehensible to him, which means that Qiao Xiu, who wrote this program, knew far more inscriptions than he did.
Although the man in gray thought it was incredible, the young man in front of him had a much deeper understanding of the world than he did.
Or rather... This demon?
"I'll think about it."
Qiao Xiu did not refuse, if Qiao Xiu wants to make the so-called 3A masterpiece in the future, it will definitely be impossible to rely on himself, even if this is a complete 'zero' foundation, Qiao Xiu should not give up hope.
"Waiting for your reply, and Mr. Joshy, you may be a little ... Trouble, no... Big trouble. ”
Although the Grey Man wore a pair of high-numbered, round-rimmed glasses, his perception had not deteriorated with age, and he sensed a hint of cold murderous intent outside the Hearthstone Tavern.
"Maybe some enthusiastic viewers, the kind who came to send me blades." Qiao Xiu said.
…………
Messi led the 'army' of demons against the Hearthstone Tavern to the tavern's location.
Under the orders of the presiding judge, the comrades-in-arms of the Holy Cult Army had dispersed to various places in the streets outside the Hearthstone Tavern, and any evil existence escaped from the Tavern, these Holy Cult Army could sense it for the first time.
Messi himself was the guide who led the Inquisitors to the area where the Hearthstone Tavern was located.
Really...
By the time Messiah came across the street from the Hearthstone Tavern, the entire shopping street was completely filled with all kinds of customers.
Even though Nolan's shopping street is just as bustling at night, it's not so busy that it's a little crowded, and the reason for this is the poster on the Hearthstone Tavern sign that a goblin wrestles with a dwarf.
'Hearthstone's new card pack Goblins vs. Gnomes is now available! ’
"Does the Judge need to change his plans?"
The Inquisitor, who had been following the Messiah, had transformed into the appearance of ordinary civilians by his own abilities.
From the original plan of these Inquisitors, Messi guessed that he should enter the Hearthstone Tavern directly in disguise, and then kill the Chaos Demons hiding inside.
The exact arrangement of the Messiah is not known for the time being, but the Inquisitor's special ability will not prevent the Church from getting caught up in the political and political dispute of 'Blatantly killing others in Nolan'.
The Inquisitors don't have the obvious characteristics of the Holy Army, and the means of attack they use are disembodied.
But the guests who entered the Hearthstone Tavern were far more than they expected, not the dwarves with their heads in their heads, nor the drunkards and pickpockets.
Rather, it represents a group of people at Nolan's highest level, the spellcasters... One spellcaster after another walked into the Hearthstone Tavern.
Among them are the most ordinary magic apprentices, and there are also many archmages who exude a powerful aura on their bodies.
Did this tiny tavern stuff half of Nolan's spellcasters?
The presiding judge didn't have a bad eye, and he found out where some of the casters' special family emblems were tattooed on their clothes.
The Wolf Blood Family in the Land of Frost, the Otto Family in the Land of Steel, and the Burning Ash Family in the Land of Gray Desert, etc......
All of these are the world's most famous families.
This configuration is a celebration party in a small tavern, which can be regarded as a guest who may only be present at the founding ceremony of a certain big country.
"No need to change."
But this is not the first time that the presiding judge has performed a mission at such a 'can't be messed with' ball, where there are so many people to be messed with.
When he gave the order, some of the Inquisitors poured into the Hearthstone Tavern like shadows, while others stayed on the top floors of the houses flanking the Hearthstone Tavern.
