After finishing the roast meat that Hiri had made, Josh and Hiri sat together under the shade of the World Tree, feeling a little tired.
“I remember that the label of ‘Beauty and the Devil’has romance and love, and that horror movie means a movie that makes people feel fear?”
Hiri looked up at the silver leaves falling down from above, and while disappearing, he chatted with Josh about some unimportant topics.
“HMM... speaking of which...”
Joshua turned his head to look at the spellcaster who was sitting next to him. Perhaps it was because Hiri had recently read Nolan’s fashion magazine written by the Dark Elves.
Her attire gradually changed from the leather armor and the spellcaster robe of the ‘combat faction’to the girl-oriented type.
Today’s outfit was shorts and white knee-high socks... before, Jose was busy dealing with the High Elves and did not notice Hili’s outfit.
It was not until now that Jose noticed Hili’s outfit, which could make a certain type of person commit a crime.
“What... What’s Wrong?”
The moment Hili felt Jose’s gaze, she subconsciously covered the part of her skin that was exposed between her knee-high socks and her shorts.
She didn’t seem to be used to this girly outfit.
“Hiri, what does a horror movie look like to You?”
Josh cleared his throat and asked a more serious question.
Unlike the ghosts on Earth, ghosts and other creatures only existed in the imagination of humans. The undead in this world really existed. Humans even had the profession of necromancer.
Most of the horror movies that Jose knew of used ghosts and ghosts to create a terrifying atmosphere.
“As for me...”
“Imagine a scene that makes you afraid,”Jose continued to add.
“When I went home at night, I found the last bit of food in the kitchen was eaten by a rat! The rat even ran away!”Hiri immediately replied.
In a sense... this was indeed a very terrifying scene for Hiri.
“What about the undead? Hiri, are you afraid of ghosts or skeletons?”
“I’m not that afraid. I just feel that it’s a bit troublesome. However, other than the necrophilia of the necromancers, there are still many people who are afraid of the undead. Just like my sister. When she was young, she couldn’t even walk when she met a wandering soul. I was the one who brought her home.”
Hiri mercilessly revealed his sister Herland’s weakness to Joshua.
“Tricky...”
This was not the term that Joshua wanted to hear. After the existence of the undead in this world, there were many ways to deal with them, some high-level spellcasters might only feel fear towards the same ‘powerful’undead.
“Looks like I’ll have to take the psychological terror route.”
“Psychological? Have you thought of a script?”
Hili’s eyes shone with a strange light. Joshua looked at Hili’s expression. If she had a tail, she would definitely wag it happily.
“Not yet. I have to go back and check something today.”
Joshua turned around and glanced at the world tree behind him. During lunch, Joshua entered the World Tree’s consciousness space once again.
He didn’t stay there for long before he was dragged into the consciousness space of “The eight faithful dogs”again. She seemed to know when Josh would enter the consciousness space.
Josh wanted to build the server in peace, so he had to chase that guy out first.
... ..
Nolan, the Mage Tower of the gray-clothed man
“Haven’t you moved out yet?”
Joshua walked into the interior of the tower of the sage and saw Cheryl and Denisa, the two nun writers.
Now they had become a pair of maids and bird keepers.
If Joshua remembered correctly, ever since the copyright of the novel written by the two of them was officially sold, they had become popular writers in Nolan.
The money they could earn in a month was enough to reach Cheryl’s goal of buying a manor in Nolan.
“Denise said it’s nice to live here.”
The original judge, Cheryl, still did not show any respect when she saw Joshua.
“Ah... Mr. Joshua and Miss Healy, do you need me to make you a cup of tea?”
Sister Denise, on the other hand, had a much more respectful attitude towards Joshua. She ran to Joshua in a hurry, hiri, who was standing behind Joshua, kept staring at the two lumps of flesh that were swaying in front of the nun’s chest.
“It’s just fat.”
Joshua could vaguely hear hiri murmuring in a low voice.
“There’s no need for that. You guys carry on with your work. I’m just here to look for the gray-clothed man to check on some things.”
Joshua silently glanced at sister Denise. This sister might have been too impatient. When she stood up to greet Joshua, she did not have the time to close her magic web interface.
The translucent magic web interface clearly displayed the content written by Denise in front of Joshua’s eyes. Although the words were reversed, Joshua could still vaguely read some of the content that made people blush and their hearts race.
“Oh!”
Dinisha seemed to have realized how shameful her own writing was. She blushed and silently retreated to the side.
“That old man happened to be upstairs today. You can go up and find him yourself,”Cheryl immediately blocked in front of Dinisha and said.
Under her guidance, Joshua led Hiri to the Mage Tower of the gray-clothed man.
After about ten minutes of greeting the countless owls that resided in the Mage Tower, Joshua finally reached the top of the tower.
The top of the Mage Tower of the gray-clothed man was set up with a powerful magic barrier, but as a guest, Joshua easily walked into it.
“I heard from the yellow-clothed man that the city of High Elves is about to fall?”
The gray-clothed man held a thick book in his hand. It was rare that he did not go to the Hearthstone Tavern to play go today.
“Arthur Crow? The situation over there is still stable. At least falling is impossible,”said Jose.
“The World Tree of the elves is related to the lifeline of this world. Is there anything I can help you with?”
“Uh... let those high elves put down their prejudice against humans? Alright... I came here to ask about something.”
Joshua took out a piece of paper and drew the little girl’s arm on it. He immediately memorized the strange symbols on her arm.
“Gray-clothed person, do you have any impression of these symbols?”
Before Joshua came, he had asked the High Elves about the world tree. It directly confessed that it was very familiar with it, but it did not have any relevant memories.
With no other choice, Joshua could only come to the wise ones for help.
“This is...”
The gray-clothed man took the drawing paper that Joshua was holding. Then, he went to the bookshelf and took out a thick and heavy ancient book. He opened one of the pages.
The book was spread out on the desk by the gray-clothed man. Joshua walked up to read the content on it. Although the words on it were very similar to English, there were some differences.
This was a manuscript, and the densely packed words on it were all written by hand.
“This is?”
“A book found in Nolan’s underground ruins.”
The gray-clothed man took the drawing paper in Joshua’s hand and compared it with some of the pictures recorded in the book.
“Why do I feel like this is the blueprint for what?”
Hiri did not understand the contents of the book at all, but some things could be understood just by looking at the blueprint.
“The description on this book... is a method to make a magic puppet,”the gray-clothed man said.
“A magic puppet?”
The distorted voice of the little girl sounded again. No matter how one looked at it, it did not seem to be the voice of a human.
“I only analyzed a part of the content of this book. The author’s foreword is ‘the only way to save yourself in the Apocalypse’.”
“I feel that the amount of information is getting bigger again.”
Jose flipped through the book. It was obvious that the book was not finished. Halfway through the book, the words written by the author became more and more distorted. In the end, he could not even see the contents clearly, on the last page... A line of words was written in a huge font on the entire page.
This line of words actually had a mournful and despairing feeling.
“What does this mean?”Joshua looked at the gray-clothed person and asked.
“‘We failed.’”
The gray-clothed person replied to Joshua.
“We failed... let’s put aside this topic that has a lot of information for a while.”
Joshua did not come here to get ‘clues to save the world.’Joshua came here to confirm whether a horror movie was useful in expelling that little girl.
“Grey-clothed man, do you know the place where all the living beings in the world gather their consciousness?”
When Joshua said this word, the expression of the grey-clothed man became solemn. It seemed that the sage had heard about that strange place.
