243 Chapter 243 - Interview

The next day. Hearthstone Tavern. Noiseless Room.

“These are the information gathered by the Black Doves yesterday… They’re all trivial matters that happened between the citizens of Norland.”

The dark elf handed a four page booklet to Joshua.

Ever since the dark elf reorganized the Black Dove, the intelligence she was able to gather became much more diverse.

Even though the amount of information increased, the quality of the information did not.

None of the intelligence gathered by the Black Dove yesterday were of interest to the dark elf. They were ‘goods that cannot fetch any money.’

“Don’t think of getting major news everyday. To the citizens of Norland, the things that are happening around them are the most important.”

Joshua skimmed through a portion of the gathered information. It seems like they were mostly about the accidents and explosions happening in alchemic ateliers or the price fluctuation of goods in the alchemic marketplace.

“I know that you want to destroy the prestige of the Nation of the Holy Church. Or perhaps, you want to destroy those believer’s beliefs.”

Joshua had not forgotten his intention behind the establishment of the Voice of Norland and the goal of this dark elf.

“But, things like that needed to be taken slowly. Once our program expands from the Voice of Norland to the Voice of the World, we will have accomplished our goal. Right now, what we needed to do is to worsen the impression the citizens of Norland had toward the Nation of the Holy Church,” said Joshua.

“How do we go about doing that?”

There was no information in the booklet Thousand Faces held that had anything to do with the Holy Church. Vilifying them would be simply impossible.

“Could it be… the Blackwood Elves’ bitter encounter?” Thousand Faces remembered the post Joshua posted on the Mage Forum. Through that post, the citizens of Norland once again recognized the true nature of the Heresy Tribunal. Their first encounter with the Heresy Tribunal’s true nature was through the book ‘Diary of an Inquisitor.’

“You’ve guessed correctly,” Joshua opened the door to the Noiseless Room. The Deceiver Pluk has been sitting in there waiting. “Pluk, you will not only be reporting news today, you will also be conducting an interview.”

“Inter…view?” Pluk examined the script he was given. Sure enough, there was a program called ‘interview.’

try { window._mNHandle.queue.push(function () { window._mNDetails.loadTag("386623558", "300x250", "386623558"); }); } catch (error) { }

“You can consider it as a conversation, much like the ones you made while performing in the movie. You merely need to ask the questions according to the script,” Joshua gave a simple explanation.

“Soon, the audience of the Voice of Norland will be able to see you, much like audiences in your stage performances.”

‘Broadcasting’ was merely the first step for Joshua. To establish the first ‘TV station’ in Norland was Joshua’s true goal.

Unfortunately for now, it would be too slow for Tylene’s World Tree to transmit videos. As such, Joshua could only quietly wait for Tylene’s World Tree to mature. Nevertheless, the World Tree in Gallolei’s body gave Joshua greater hope.

“My greetings, Son of Chaos Joshua.”

Elder Safran removed his hood and made an ancient gesture to greet Joshua.

“Eh… you can address me by name. That prefix sounded a bit strange.”

It would seem that this Blackwood Elf had already seen through Joshua’s true identity. However, the elven priestess next to him revealed a look of shock when she heard Elder Safran’s address.

“I understand. May I ask, is this the place where the Frost Elf recited the elven epic last night?”
