186 Chapter 186 - Expansion

Inside the Hearthstone Tavern.

“Why are all these scripts tragedies?!”

“Besides, it will take a while before the filming for this script begins.”

Joshua was planning to only start filming his next movie after ‘Léon: The Demon’ finished screening all over Farucci.

Joshua was able to reach Gallolei through the magic network to learn the latest news on the popularization of ‘Léon: The Demon.’

Right now, apart from waiting for the dark elf Thousand Faces to return to Norland so that he could establish the first news broadcast station in Norland, Joshua needed to work on the creation of the first expansion to Hearthstone, ‘Goblins vs Gnomes.’

Pest stood up slowly and bowed to Joshua. But, her scarlet eyes were fixed onto Ciri.

Even though she was able to show absolute respect toward Joshua, a Chaos Demon, Pest was not fond of the human mages, especially one who was showing hostility toward her.

The vampires were skilled in mental attacks. Merely by using their eyes, they could make the weak humans lose their fighting strength.

“Miss Sentinel, what might have brought you to me this late at night? I believe my older sister is still waiting for your replies.”

Joshua stepped forward and extended his hand to block Ciri. At the same time, he faced his eyes directly at Pest.

The eyes of this sentinel behind her mask were like two expensive rubies. But, their temptation was fatal.

Joshua has never once loosen his guard around this sentinel, not even when she has been frequently appearing in the Hearthstone Tavern.

“I’ve come right with bad news for you, my sire. The Holy Church is planning an assassination. Their target is you,” said Pest.

“I know about that.”

Joshua was a reader of the ‘Diary of an Inquisitor.’ That diary had detailedly narrated in a first person point of view that shocking assassination. That assassination was done by only twelve inquisitors and three inquisition leaders.

From a certain point of view, the current treatment Joshua was receiving from the Holy Church was akin to a country’s king.

“That’s why, I urge you to return to the Demon Realm with me. The frail defense of this tavern is simply unable to protect you!”

Pest once again voiced her request. But, Joshua turned around to look at Tylene and Ciri.

“So as you have heard. Although I do not know if her intelligence is true or not, it is certain that I’m wanted by the Holy Church… The two of you should still remember the price of associating with the demons, no?”

Joshua placed very few restrictions on Tylene and Ciri. There existed only a single contract upheld by Norland’s Chamber of Commerce. During a time of life and death like now, that contract would not hold any use at all.

Even though Tylene and Ciri were artists employed under Joshua, they were not his warriors and there was no reason for them to die with him… but…

“Mister Joshua…”

Tylene was the first to speak. She carried the heavy responsibility of reviving her race. She held no desire to become involved in the dispute between the demons and the Holy Church. But, from the moment she signed the contract with Joshua, she was destined to stand in Joshua’s faction and participate in a conflict invisible to ordinary people.

“The Holy Tree Enluci is willing to protect you. It has chosen to stand with you. As such, I am also not planning to leave.”

The Holy Tree Enluci was the World Tree within Tylene’s body. It had gained its own consciousness. As such, it was only natural that it gave itself a name.
