Novel Bin Chapter 432: work
Joshua walked along the Commercial Street near the White Briar Theater and arrived at the Hearthstone Tavern Branch.
The new Hearthstone Tavern’s renovation still highlighted the ‘tavern’style. The orange-yellow primary crystal lamps always gave people a warm feeling at night.
If Nolan welcomed winter, there was nothing more wonderful than entering the tavern and ordering a cup of hot ale when it was snowing heavily.
The most common customers in the Hearthstone Tavern were still dwarves. According to Lady Marina’s incomplete statistics, dwarves accounted for one-third of the Hearthstone players, they were far more generous in the purchase of card bags than the human spellcasters who were short of funds.
The main customers of this new tavern were also a group of dwarves as far as the eye could see. Due to the fact that there was no lack of dwarven blacksmiths in the Commercial Street.
Some of the dwarves were obviously taking advantage of the break time to come over and play a few rounds. Even the cinders and iron ashes on their bodies had not been washed off. Their faces were covered in dust like beggars.
This also caused the entire Hearthstone tavern to not look like a ‘high-end’place no matter how one looked at it.
However, Joshua liked the warm atmosphere. He walked straight to the bar counter of this new tavern.
“Is there anything I can help you with? Wait… Why are you here?”
The waiter of the pub was an acquaintance of Joshua who was not very familiar with him. It was one of the traitors from the court of heretics, sister Cheryl Skartan.
At the same time, she had another unknown identity in Nolan. She was the author of the novel “The Diary of the Heretic Judge”, which was ranked number one in the immovable library.
“I own this shop, why can’t I Come?”
Jose leaned against the bar counter and looked at the nun who was in a ‘working’state.
If she thought about it carefully, the nun’s name was somewhat similar to a certain king of the Frost Kingdom.
“UH… HMM…”
When she remembered Jose’s real identity, she was a little speechless and didn’t know what to say for a moment.
“Don’t I give you a payment every month?”Joshua asked the nun for a glass of ale, then looked at her and asked, “Why do you still want this job? To Experience Life?”
“I want to move out of the magic tower and live somewhere else.”The nun wiped the glass with a rag, then she said to Joshua, “My friend Denisa seems to like a manor in the Nolan Center, and I heard that the manor is on sale.”
“The manor in the Nolan Center…”
Although Joshua didn’t know much about the real estate prices in this city, he knew how expensive the things she wanted to buy were just from the string of keywords.
“If you want to buy one, it will take you years to earn enough money to work here,”said Joshua.
“To be precise, five years. If you are so generous every month, I can save five years. Now I only work for the daily food,”she said.
Joshua remembered… working in the Hearthstone Tavern, he could have a free ‘working meal’every day. It seemed to be very luxurious, for a commoner.
“Cheryl, you just need to wait for a while. I have an opportunity to make a lot of money for you,”said Joshua.
“I don’t accept assassination missions.”The nun refused the Devil’s bewitchment righteously. “I’m not in this business anymore!”
“Not assassination missions. I’m talking about you as an author. Someone is going to buy your book. He might visit Nolan in a month.”
“Buy… my book?”
Cheryl didn’t quite understand why someone would want to buy her diary.
“Don’t worry. I’ll talk to you in detail when the time comes,”said Joshua.
Cheryl looked at the strange smile on Joshua’s face and felt that the devil was thinking about something strange. However, over the past few months, joshua had proven to Cheryl that he was far more trustworthy than the heretic court of Justice.
As long as Cheryl promised to update the “Heretic Judge’s diary”every day, Joshua would give her a large amount of “Royalties”every month, this allowed the original Inquisitor, who only knew how to ‘kill’, to live a normal life in Nolan.
When she escaped from the heretic court, she had already prepared to live a poor life of eating dirt every day. Fortunately, with Joshua’s help, she did not have to worry about food every day.
The Nun’s thoughts were quickly interrupted by the sudden noise in the Hearthstone Tavern.
This was not the high-pitched voice of the dwarves that could be heard everywhere in the tavern!
Joshua’s attention was also drawn over. When he looked at the source of the voice, he saw a very… familiar scene.
“Jonassi! This is the third time you’ve skipped the engraving class of Madam China and come to this tavern! Come back with me quickly!”
“Wait a minute, mother! I’m about to win! !”
An elderly woman was tugging at the arm of a 13 or 14-year-old youth. The youth was in the middle of a Firestone duel. Unfortunately, he did not have the time to finish the match, her mother had already found her.
“Win? All you do is play this every day! Why haven’t I seen you beat that kid from the Katana family in the Magic Defense Class! If you don’t want to be hit on the butt by a magic staff again, then get the hell out of Here!”
“But mother! Katana can’t beat me on the Hearthstone at all!”The young man shouted with the last glimmer of hope.
But this sentence actually angered the older woman.
“If your words are heard by the Katana family, they will only see you as a laughing stock! Don’t lose face here! Come back with me quickly!”
The stalemate between the two sides continued for a long time. Cheryl saw that the noise was getting louder and louder, and seemed to be ready to intervene.
However, Jose waved his hand to show that he did not mind.
“We can’t interfere in other people’s affairs as long as she obeys the rules of the tavern.”Jose remembered that the rules of the tavern did not seem to include the clause “Parents are not allowed to bring home a teenager who skips class”.
However, Jose felt that he should add the clause “Minors are not allowed to enter”in the rules of the tavern?
“Does this happen often?”
When Joshua said this, the young man’s mother had already taken him out of the tavern. This scene caused the dwarves around him to let out… laughter that could be described as heroic.
“This is the fourth time in this period of time.”
This nun lady seemed to have been a servant here for a long time.
“This also caused some nobles who visited Nolan to view Hearthstone as a low-class activity.”
She glanced at the scenery of the tavern behind Joshua.
The decoration of Hearthstone Tavern was indeed very simple, even to the point of being shabby.
The tavern itself was a dirty and chaotic place in the eyes of some nobles. Even Hearthstone legend itself was welcomed by the spellcasters of Nolan’s various classes.
However, the decoration of Hearthstone Tavern and the Noisy Dwarves had become the most difficult hurdle for the nobles who held high positions to enter the pit.
“Really?”
Joshua didn’t mind that the Hearthstone legend players only stayed in that group. As long as the game was interesting, there would always be new players.
However, Joshua didn’t want the Hearthstone legend to be regarded as a game that only low-class people could play in the world in the future.
As a player, Joshua had experienced that period of time on Earth.
That was the era when gamers were despised by everyone. In this world, Joshua did not wish for such a situation to occur.
In a month’s time, Nolan’s teleportation portal would open again. At that time, noble merchants from all over the world would visit this place.
“Perhaps I should hold a competition,”Joshua said softly.
“Competition?”
“Hold a legendary Hearthstone competition within Nolan’s territory.”
Joshua thought that this was the most direct way to show everyone that an excellent gamer could also win the glory of being the center of attention!
“So it seems that we need to start working on it this month. Just the two versions are not interesting,”said Joshua.
“Are you going to launch a new card bag? Or… Adventure?”
The nun was very alert as she covered her wallet and looked at the demon who was sighing in front of her.
“Don’t worry, I’ll give you a discount,”said Jose.
