The next morning, Joshua did not receive any contact from Sir White Thorn Flower. The choice of movie actors was not something that could be confirmed in a day or two.
It was also difficult to find the three young actors in the shining. Joshua could only hope that Sir White Thorn Flower’s Luck was good enough.
Joshua was currently at the Hearthstone Tavern in Arthur Crow. The four representatives from the High Elves, Elder Quitoan, elder Enya, and Al and leaf were standing in front of him.
This was an ice-breaking negotiation where the relationship between the two races was broken and they were back together. Strictly speaking, it was enough to be recorded in the history of mankind.
But the representatives from the human side..
!!“None of you will mind if I just lie here like this, right?”
Joshua lay on a chair made of rattan and looked at the ceiling above. His face had an expression that said,’I am just a little bit away from dying on the spot.’.
“Granny Enya… Look! Pickled fish.”Al whispered beside elder Enya.
“Al, pay attention to the situation.”Enya also reminded her apprentice and looked at Joshua again.
The current Joshua was too different from the temperament he had when he confronted them in the past!
“There are still many voices in our tribe who oppose you.”Elder Kuitoan was the first to open the topic.
“Oppose…”Joshua looked at the ceiling and closed his eyes. “Let them oppose it. It Won’t affect me anyway. Your Holy Tree wants me to stay here, so there’s nothing you can do…”
What Joshua said was equivalent to a provocation, but it was also the truth.
Arthur Crow would always welcome Joshua’s arrival. Even if the High Elves built spatial magic to block Joshua’s entry, the World Tree could still nullify it.
“After I came to your city, I first became a diplomat, and then your media manager. Yesterday, I did another job as a screenwriter and programmer.”
Joshua let out a tired voice and slowly sat up from the rattan chair.
In fact, Joshua had not slept for almost two days.
“Now that Al, Aurelian, and that man in black are already famous in Nolan, your granddaughter can even produce a personal photo album. I think you should give me a reward.”
Joshua’s series of words made the two high elf elders present very embarrassed. Joshua had done too much for Arthur Crow, but the High Elves had no way to repay him.
This was also the reason why elder Enya wavered in the end.
“Reward… reward? How… how much do you want?”
Al immediately took out a small bag made of tree bark and counted the gold coins inside.
After this girl became a well-known video game producer in the Magic Network, the money she received every day was enough for her to eat and drink for an entire day.
“That’s the salary I gave you… If you insist on the reward.”
Jose looked at Al up and down and found that this girl’s figure was surprisingly… Okay?
“Al has just come of age.”
Suddenly, elder Enya stood in front of his apprentice and stared at Jose.
“If you need someone to serve you, I have a more suitable candidate,”elder Enya said.
“Serve? What did you say?”
Joshua did not understand the meaning of the elven elder’s words.
“You are the chosen one by the holy tree… son of the forest. As the holy tree priestess, our duty is to serve the holy tree. According to tradition, we priestesses have the duty to serve you,”elder Enya said in a serious tone, which stunned Joshua. “I know that humans have far more physiological desires than our race, so if it’s sex…”
“Stop! Stop!”
Joshua immediately stopped the elder from talking about the topic. Her voice sounded quite serious, but the rest of the content could not be looked at directly.
It seemed that it was a wise choice to let Hiri continue to sleep in the Hearthstone Tavern.
“I will consider the payment later. Al, you should use this money to buy some food.”Joshua rubbed the space between his eyebrows and slowly stood up.
There was a round table between Joshua and the two elven elders. On the table was the map of Arthur Crow, and there was a detailed hand-drawn map of the forgotten land.
“After doing all this work, are you going to be a city planner again?”Joshua took out a pen and made a few crosses on the forgotten land. “I’ll tell you my next plan directly. There are many buildings in the forgotten land that can be renovated. I plan to build a brand new street here.”
“Are you planning to let the humans move in here?”
Joshua’s plan was still a little difficult to accept, or rather, it was a little awkward.
Ascek was the Holy Land of the High Elves. The humans had rushed in and occupied a corner of it as their own territory. That alone was enough to make anyone unhappy.
“The governance of the forgotten land is still yours, but I will build some new facilities and let you manage them,”said Joshua.
“New… facilities?”
“I haven’t thought about the cinema, restaurants, recording studios, idolatry firms, internet cafes and so on.”Joshua pointed at Al, who was behind quitoan, and said, “Your holy tree will gradually restore your energy supply, but it will not last until you are ‘never hungry’like before. In other words, you will feel hunger more frequently now. Although it is not three meals a day, it is certain that you will have one meal every three days.”
“This is the test that the holy tree has given us…”elder Enya said.
“It’s not a test… It’s my way of abducting… the wrong way of recruiting people!”Jose used a pen to draw a circle on the periphery of the forgotten land. “I will build a food street here, let’s call it that… Do You High Elves have currency between you?”
Elder Quitoan took out a leaf-shaped coin. Jose took the coin and analyzed it. The face value was 25.
“We use the coins forged during the glory days of Arthur Crowe,”elder Quitoan said.
“The workmanship is much finer than human coins.”
Joshua took out a coin forged by Nolan and compared it. The coins used by the high elves were obviously much more delicate.
“How is your economic situation? Like… does the branch have a regular source of income?”Joshua began to ask about the economic structure of the High Elves.
Ascek was a city, but it was also a small country. However, the population of the country was only about 4,000 people. With so few people, Joshua felt that he could maintain economic trade by bartering.
Moreover, the High Elves did not need to eat, so in Joshua’s opinion, it was an incredible thing that Ascek relied on money to trade!
“My duty is to guard the priests, every forty days or so… about two silver leaves,”said branch.
“What do you usually buy with your own money? Is there a shop in Arthur Crow?”
“Accessories and furniture, and some drinks and vegetarian food.”Branch counted with his fingers and said, “Sometimes you have to save money to change your weapons.”
“There’s a special shop?”
“We’re looking for the holy tree to change it.”Leaf saw the puzzled expression on Joshua’s face and immediately explained, “There’s a kind of magic-conducting machine in ascetic crow. You can buy things you like by putting this currency in. The holy tree will distribute this currency according to the work of each clan member.”
“Isn’t this a vending machine?”Joshua felt that after coming to ascetic crow, his worldview of this world had begun to be a little confused.
