Bringing Culture to a Different World

Lady Marina looked back and forth in confusion in the ruined city.

Jose, who had been traveling, suddenly returned to the Hearthstone Tavern this afternoon and told Lady Marina to immediately lead a team to open a branch.

As soon as Jose mentioned the branch, the old merchant became interested.

The scale and operation of the Hearthstone Tavern far surpassed all of Nolan’s taverns. The daily profit could be described as sky-high compared to the money that Lady Marina had earned from her previous business.

This made Lady Marina eager to open a branch of the tavern outside Nolan, and today, Jose fulfilled the merchant’s wish.

But when she followed Jose to a dwarven gathering place under Nolan, and with a teleportation, she finally arrived at the legendary location where the ‘branch’was established.

When Lady Marina saw the environment around the site clearly, she suspected that Jose was joking with him.

This street was full of the smell of decay, and no one had lived here for at least a hundred years or even a thousand years.

Opening a branch of the Hearthstone Tavern Here? Could it be for the ghosts?

But Lady Marina did not sense any undead around her.

“You can interpret it that way. In short, this is the shop. In a while, prepare all the necessary things for opening the shop. Also, assign one or two trusted servants to me.”

Jose narrowed the scope of his magic shield a little, so that Hiri could transform the sunlight cast from above into a kind of glowing primary crystal.

The architectural style of this street was also very similar to Nolan’s underground ruins. To outsiders, it might be that Joshua had found a ‘small town of underground ruins’.

“Understood.”

Lady Marina was very wise not to ask unnecessary questions.

“I’ve reached an agreement with Frost Axe. After you go to the portal, he will send you back. Leave the cleaning to me.”

Jose led Lady Marina around the largest building on the street. The building was structured like a meeting hall. The central hall took up a large area and had a second floor structure.

If it was possible, Jose could even transform it into a luxurious casino.

“Although there’s no basement to store wine and ingredients, if the portal can be opened every day, fresh ingredients can be purchased from Nolan, and this place can be used as a kitchen.”

After checking the environment of the ‘branch’, Mrs. Marina was very satisfied with the structure of the building. except… This place was really too desolate.

“Mr. Joshua, do you need me to send someone to clean up? There are many signs of damage in the interior of the building, and we need to find someone to renovate it,”Mrs. Marina said as she brushed the dust on the stone pillar with her finger.

“No problem. Of course, I hope that the people you hired are ‘reliable and obedient enough’.”

After Joshua gave the order, Lady Marina immediately returned to Nolan. She was more talented and had more connections than Joshua in human resources deployment and opening a shop.

The rest of Joshua’s plan was to wait for this building, which had been in ruins for God knows how many years, to become the most popular tavern in the city of the sky, Arthur Crow.

..

The black-clothed man had never experienced such humiliation in his life in the human world.

During his journey to the human world, he met many humans with evil intentions, but their malice seemed so pale in front of the powerful magic power of the High Elves.

But this time, the space magic that he was so proud of was blocked by the chaos magic power of the blasphemer.

What was worse was… he could only watch as the blasphemer recruited an army and built their camp.

The black-clothed man watched as a group of humans carried a large amount of goods through the portal into ascetic cros. These goods were enough for them to stay in the city for more than half a year.

“Does the employer want to build a resting place for the adventurers of the underground ruins?”

“Shut up! Hurry up and fix that Stone pillar. I didn’t give you so much money this time to let you chat.”

The black-clothed man quietly listened to the discussions of the humans. Under the watchful eyes of the blasphemer, he was unable to make any effective resistance.

At this moment, the black-clothed man began to miss those strict elven elders. Although some of their ideas were very old-fashioned, they were also stubborn to the point of causing headaches, however, they possessed great power and were able to ignore the blasphemer’s chaotic magic and drive the invading humans out of Ascek!

Perhaps the black-robed man’s prayers were effective. He was thinking about how to inform his race outside. When the humans invaded this city, the black-robed man felt the presence of his own race.

He suddenly raised his head and was pleasantly surprised to see a figure walking rapidly towards him from the distance of the street.

Only the high elf elders were qualified to enter the forgotten land in Arthur Cross. However, when the black-clothed man saw the face of the high elf, his expectations were instantly dashed.

SINDONAR… was the weakest of the high elf elders. In terms of seniority, he was far inferior to the black-clothed man.

However, the black-clothed man did not give up hope. He glanced at Joshua, who was commanding the establishment of the camp, and quickly walked towards the distant Sindonar Elder.

“Elder Sindonar! Stop!”

“Sokron? I’ll talk to you later.”

He directly brushed past the black-clothed man and quickly walked in front of Joshua.

“Joshua Arnold, I pay my respects to you on behalf of the Holy Tree.”

After elder Sindonar came in front of Joshua, he performed a common high elf etiquette towards Joshua.

“Are you the… High Elf elder that I saw in Nolan last time?”

“SINDONAR.”He said his name with a hint of urgency in his voice.

“I’m curious. You Didn’t call me a blasphemer like he did?”

Joshua glanced at the black-clothed man behind Elder Sindonar. He was maintaining a dull posture, as if he didn’t understand why this elder was so familiar with Joshua.

“That’s what the High Elves of the old generation called the chaos demons,”elder Sindonar said in a low voice. “This involves the taboo of the past and the history. Not even our clansmen can touch it.

“The dark history of the past again… then what are you doing here? Are you warning me to return to Nolan?”

Elder SINDONAR glanced at the human artisans in the distance. There was also an endless stream of supplies being transported to the dusty streets through the teleportation array.

The High Elf Elder clenched his fist slightly, but the white bird that was standing on Joshua’s shoulder finally let go.

“I… AM seeking the path of redemption for Arthur Crow,”elder Sindonar said in a deep voice.
