Cultural Invasion In Different World

Chapter 175



Chapter 175

The disturbance caused by Skotan Nun’s rescue operation still hasn’t settled yet.

Self-proclaimed Norland’s Law Enforcers had appeared on the Mage Forum and were asking others what happened last night.

Unfortunately, the corpses of the Holy Church’s inquisitors have been settled by Joshua. Thus, apart from the signs of destruction caused by magic and some bloodstains, the law enforcements were unable to find anything else.

Without corpses as proof, even if the Holy Church wanted to cause trouble for Norland for the three inquisitors’ death, they would not be able to do so.

Besides, the Holy Church’s inquisitors rashly appearing in Norland was a sensitive topic in itself.

But, from all of this, Joshua became certain about one thing — the magic network had entered Norland’s upper echelon’s field of vision. That said, Joshua didn’t really care what Norland’s upper echelon thought of the magic network.

To the mages of Norland, Joshua, a tavern’s unknown boss, was not the person popularizing the magic network. Instead, it was the Owl Penpal Society’s president Gray Mage Lursk and the Flower of Farucci Gallolei.

The Mage Forum had entered the right path. Right now, Joshua was pondering if he should recruit another broadcaster for the Voice of Norland.

Right now, Tylene was the only person for the Voice of Norland. She was in charge of two programs, the afternoon storytelling and the nighttime lullabies...

Even though the frost elf lady was extremely passionate about her work, Joshua didn’t want her to stay in the Noiseless Room collecting nourishment for the World Tree all day long.

“So, what is the relation between the television station you’re planning to make and the Voice of Norland?”

Ciri was lying on Joshua’s desk with her face headed to the side looking at Joshua. As the two of them were out all night last night, she was still feeling sleepy even after returning to the tavern and sleeping till noon.

“The current audience for the Voice of Norland will be the foundation for the future audience of the television station... The voice of Norland is only a transition.”

Joshua picked up a candy made from milk and moved it toward Ciri’s mouth. Ciri opened her mouth and ate the candy. She was still lying on the desk drowsily.

In recent days, this mage lady was growing more and more relaxed. But, she was still very hard working when it comes to drawing the cards for the all-new Hearthstone expansion ‘Goblins vs Gnomes.’ Right now, they’ve finished half of the expansion already. Likely, they will be able to officially release it in two weeks time.

The management for the Hearthstone Tavern has been handed completely over to Mrs. Melina. ‘Léon: The Demon’ was currently screening with great fanfare in Norland. Joshua was not in a rush to make the next movie.

Right now, what he wanted to do was to develop the broadcasters for the Voice of Norland and then establish the television station in Norland.

In the end, the Mage Forum will only be able to have a limited power to manipulate the public opinion. Television would most definitely be one of the most important channels to propagate culture.

Once the citizens of Norland grew used to watching ‘Norland’s Headline News’ and other news programs like such, Joshua would be able to control Norland’s public opinion.

Expanding the Voice of Norland was also so that the World Tree could grow faster. With the current ‘capacity’ the World Tree had, it would be impossible for it to sustain a video website, much less live video broadcasting.

The staff for the television station Joshua had in mind were naturally those members of the ‘Black Dove.’

An owl flew in from the window and into Joshua’s room. It flapped its wind and landed beside Joshua. Just like that, it ate the several milk candies Joshua was holding in his hand.

Joshua had already grown used to this owl’s sneaky behavior of eating his food. This owl could be said to be Joshua’s personal messenger. Even though Joshua had not raised it, it has been lingering around Norland the entire time.

“Go to that hotel in Squirrel Street.”

Joshua handed an envelope that he had prepared beforehand to the owl. This bird messenger soon understood Joshua’s request. It grabbed the letter and left Joshua’s study.

Joshua had sent forth an invitation to Hotel Black Dove’s manager, Pluk. After his performance in ‘Léon: The Demon,’ he did not become renowned throughout Norland like Gallolei.

He continued to keep a low profile, quietly operated his hotel and looked after the Half Dragon and Gray-cat Beastmen kids he fostered.

But, while he might not have become a famous actor, his hotel became famous to the fans of ‘Léon: The Demon.’

.........

Hotel Black Dove.

Deceiver Pluk flipped over the recent registry for his hotel. Several weeks ago, the registry was completely empty. Only rarely would he have one or two check-ins.

But now, the registry was completely filled.

“Sir, I’m afraid your booking will have to wait till next month.”

Pluk forced a smile to face the somewhat fat looking merchant.

“No! What I’m trying to say is that I want to purchase this hotel...”

That merchant started shouting. He held an entire sack of gold coins in his hand.

“The wooden sign outside has already made it clear that this hotel is not for sale. Next guest please.”

This was Pluk’s fourth time refusing someone trying to purchase his hotel with gold...

This place was the Squirrel Street. It was the ghettos and the most dangerous street in the entire city of Norland.

Only penniless travelers or thieves with ill intentions in mind would bother to stay in an old and narrow small hotel on Squirrel Street.

But, ever since two days ago, a large number of people came to seek out and visit Hotel Black Dove for its fame.

They were all fans of ‘Léon: The Demon.’ They came to the hotel so that they could personally see where Mathilda, her family and Léon lived.

This provided a major economic drive to the entire Squirrel Street. A lot of humans began to appear on the street that was originally filled with non-humans...

Fortunately Joshua had foresight. As Squirrel Street was located near where the dwarves lived, Joshua managed to reach an agreement with Frostaxe to send a couple young dwarves over to maintain security.

But, even with that, it was still very difficult for the small hotel to maintain order. This merchant who wanted to purchase this hotel was one such order-breaking person.

“You will definitely be satisfied with my offer! You must agree...”

He was unwilling to give up. Furthermore, he came with several guards. One of the dwarves sitting downstairs walked up. But, his guards also stepped forward.

Regardless of who wins or loses, this conflict will definitely cause destruction to the hotel...

Admittedly, the hotel gaining more business was a good thing. But, conflict was something that no one would want to see.

When Pluk was planning to patiently convince the merchant, he heard the sound of some thick flowing liquid. Even in the noisy main hall of the hotel, that sound was very distinct.

“This hotel does not welcome you humans. Thus, bring those ignorant trash and scram.”

When that voice sounded, the main hall immediately grew quiet.

Pluk saw a person wearing a mask walking out from the crowd. As for the others in the main hall, their eyes suddenly turned scarlet.

A magic... capable of controlling one’s mind!

Unanimously, the humans in the hotel began to walk toward the exit. The fat merchant even shut the door to the hotel behind him and locked it.

The atmosphere of the entire hotel declined to a freezing point.

“We meet again, Deceiver.”

The masked individual walked over to Pluk and placed a special coin on the counter.
