Bringing Culture to a Different World

“My mentor… Is Here?”

Shirer turned his head to look at the Hearthstone Tavern on the other side of the street.

Even though Madam Marina had expanded the entire Hearthstone Tavern to the largest scale on this street, the tavern’s facade was still so ‘shabby’.

Just the wooden signboard alone did not look like a reliable shop.

“Hearthstone Tavern, have you heard of it?”

Jose opened the car door and directly got down from it. He went to the other side and helped the king open the car door.

“Hearthstone Tavern?”

The moment Shiel heard this word, his expression, which had always been cold, had some ripples on it.

In her eyes, Joshua read an emotion called ‘anticipation’.

“I’ve seen people discussing it on the Spellcaster Forum.”

Shier got off the magic car. She was not the kind of little girl who would be kidnapped. As the ruler of a country, she could not be so timid.

Under the leadership of Joshua, Shier pushed open the door of the Hearthstone Tavern and walked in. The first thing she felt was the fragrance of ale.

“Dwarves…”

Shea’s gaze scanned the tavern, which occupied an exaggerated area. As far as the eye could see, it was filled with spellcasters and dwarves who were sitting at a table in the Hearthstone legendary duel.

Dwarves were an extremely rare race in frost country, but Nolan could see them everywhere, and the tavern occupied more than half of it.

“They are frequent visitors here.”Joshua led Shier to another place in the Hearthstone Tavern.

“Is teacher here to play the Hearthstone legend too?”

Shier searched among the dwarves who were drinking ale, laughing loudly from time to time, or scolding others for their ‘Godly slapping dogs’.

Her purpose of coming to Nolan was first to see Joshua, and second to find Nolan’s sage to discuss the issue of the Heretic Court of Justice.

“If you came last month, you might be able to find the gray-clothed person there. He should be there now.”

Joshua pointed to another area of the Hearthstone Tavern. There was no area to play the Hearthstone Legendary Machine.

It was originally provided for guests who came to drink, but now it had been occupied by a group of spell casters to play go.

Shier’s gaze followed the direction that Joshua pointed to. As expected, she found the gray-clothed person who had been separated for three years.

“Mentor?”

Just as shier was about to step forward to reveal her identity, the moment she stepped into the area, she noticed the changes in the surrounding atmosphere, as well as the sage sitting opposite the gray-clothed mentor.

The purple-clothed mentor.

The two sages looked as if they were facing a great enemy. This extremely tense atmosphere was enough to make shier believe that there would be a great battle coming.

However, they were only staring at a wooden board made of densely packed black and white stones on the table.

“What a terrifying murderous aura.”Shier sighed softly.

“The gray-clothed and purple-clothed people have recently become obsessed with a game called go. This has caused a small number of spell casters to become popular.”

Joshua pointed at the other spell casters who were sitting in this area. There was almost a Go board on the table that was playing against the opponent.

“Go?”

Shea glanced at the Go board. Shea could understand the hearthstone legend’s rules just by listening to the discussion of the spellcasters on the forum. However, she did not understand what kind of game go was at first glance.

“I suggest you don’t disturb them at this time. They will end their duel before the afternoon.”

Jose walked to a machine that was playing Hearthstone legend. It was a few idle machines that no one was playing.

“It’s rare to come to Nolan. Don’t you want to relax? Currently, only Nolan can play Hearthstone legend,”Jose said.

Relax..

Shier’s original purpose today was indeed to relax, but the leak of the maid made shier’s nerves tense up.

She understood that there were still many acute problems in the country of frost that had not been solved, and the most thorny problem was with the heretic trial court.

But since she raised the rebel flag from the fortress, she had been fighting at the forefront for almost half a year.

It was time to relax, this was not the country of frost..

“Of course.”

Shier wanted to temporarily get rid of the various problems that the country of frost had placed on her, and to stay in Nolan as an ordinary person for a period of time.

“I’ve wanted to play this game for a long time.”

“Let’s start with the group card first. Although the entry point is to draw the card, but… I’ll do it on my conscience today.”

Joshua did not stare at Shier’s wallet. Although the other party was a king, he gave a spare card box to shier.

Under the guidance of Joshua, the King with game talent formed a brand new group card according to his own ideas and began to fight against Joshua.

“After the game, Shea, have you considered going to other places?”Joshua asked.

“Other places…”

Shea stared at his hand cards and all kinds of card instructions, but his mind was not on them.

“I want to go to Nolan’s movie theater. That theater seems to be called…”

While Shea was thinking, a rope suddenly appeared on the table. The front part of the rope ignited a flame and kept spreading toward the button to end the turn.

“What’s This?”

As a beginner, shier still did not understand the meaning of this rope.

“You only have one and a half minutes to think in one turn. This rope will burn until the end of the turn button, and then it will be forcibly turned into my turn.”

“Wh… What?”

Hearing what Joshua said, Shier, who had always spoken slowly and softly, instantly became nervous.

“This one? No… this one should be used.”

She had been chatting with Joshua this round and reading the card instructions. Now, she began to pick the cards in a fluster and began to operate them.

At the last moment when the rope was about to burn out, shier finally completed the operation of this round.

“Why didn’t you tell me this rule as soon as possible!”

When Shearer came back to her senses, she realized that she had made a mistake in her operation and asked Josh angrily.

“Because you didn’t ask.”

Josh held back his smile and drew a card. Taking advantage of Shearer’s mistake, he finished her off in one round.

“Are you angry?”Josh looked at the expressionless king.

“No, Let’s start the next round. I want to win this time.”

Sheila returned to her original pace and urged Josh to start a new round.

“Well, about the theater you mentioned just now, it should be the White Thorn Theater,”Josh said.

“It’s the White Thorn Theater. I want to watch Shawshank’s redemption there.”

Shier’s fighting spirit was completely aroused. She no longer focused on the battle in front of her.

“Then after the gray-clothed person finishes playing go, I’ll send you there.”

“And after I beat you.”

Shier added a condition, which made Jose not know how to answer. He could only nod.

The new king of the Frost Kingdom’s talent in the game was indeed impeccable. After five consecutive battles, she had already mastered the tricks of the game and finally killed Jose with luck in the last battle.

“This game is more interesting than I imagined.”

A faint smile appeared on Shier’s face again, but it did not last long before it froze there.

Because she saw her comrades in the fortress at the entrance of the Hearthstone Tavern.

The people who the head maid told on her had already found this place. Shier really could not understand why her comrades who had fought against the Heretic Court of Justice would betray her.

No… They did not seem to have betrayed her.

Shier did not see any vicious and impatient expressions on their faces. There was only panic and uneasiness..

“What’s Wrong?”Joshua asked.

“My father’s men… Found Me,”shier said.
