Chapter 80

“Movie fans meet and greet?”

Sir Weissenasche had just fixed his appearance and finished listening to Joshua’s plan. He had worked in the theater production industry for tens of years. Yet, never once had he heard about ‘meet and greet.’

Generally, if anyone wants to see the actors or actresses working under his theatrical troupe, they merely need to make an appointment ahead of time. Of course, those making the appointment would most definitely be nobles.

As for the appointments, they will take form in a request to have an afternoon tea with the actors or actresses. That said, Sir Weissenasche was very protective of the performers working under him. When nobles with bad reputations requests for appointments with his performers, he would try his best to refuse them.

Generally speaking, the performers of the theatrical troupe would rarely interact with the spectators. Sir Weissenasche also felt that there was no reason for them to do so. After all, their job was to perform.

He believed that money will only corrode the spiritual nature of the artists, the performers. It was like the theatrical troupes he used to have that were scooped away by others through wealth.

“I believe that there must’ve been a lot of people that wanted to meet Belle, right?”

Joshua picked up the Weissenasche Theater’s performance schedule from the table.

Currently, the Weissenasche Theater was only playing ‘Beauty and the Demon.’ As such, the performance schedule would naturally be packed full with ‘Beauty and the Demon.’

“That is true. Lord Joshua, my office door has been forcibly pushed open by those people countless times already.”

Sir Weissenasche recalled the encounters he had in the recent days. He could already count the number of nobles with a duke or duchess title he had to deal with these days using his fingers.

Had it been before, he would not be able to meet a single one of those high status noble all year round. Yet, this time around, they were the ones coming to him.

Some were curious at the technology behind the filming of the movie. Some were dissatisfied with the story line.

As he was not the creator of ‘Beauty and the Demon,’ Sir Weissenasche could only agree to their demands ambiguously.

“The movie fans meet and greet will solve those issues for you. Sir Weissenasche, you merely need to prepare the invitation letters and present them to those that you believed to be faithful fans of the movie.”

Joshua crossed out a movie screening that was supposed to occur on the afternoon of the day after tomorrow. He had chosen that time for the meet and greet.

The missionaries of the church were already providing gospels. Soon, the rumor of Belle being a demon will spread out. At a time like this, Belle needed to personally come out to put an end to the rumors.

“Milord, you mean to say... the performers for ‘Beauty and the Demon,’ will be present?”

Sir Weissenasche himself was a faithful fan of the movie. Apart from the director of the movie Joshua, he had always wanted to meet the other casts of the movie.

“You will have the chance to meet them. Before that, help me invite three thousand lucky fellows to show up for the meet and greet.”

“But, Milord... there’s more than only three thousand people that loved that movie. Should I add a couple more meet and greets?”

At this moment, Sir Weissenasche was regretting how small his theater was. A few thousand seats were simply not enough to contain the enormous amount of fans the ‘Beauty and the Demon’ possess.

“No, there’s no need for that. The other people can watch the recording outside the theater.”

As for now, Joshua has yet to research a method to allow for originium crystals to broadcast live. But, the issue with live broadcast will be solved sooner or later.

After all, Joshua was most definitely not going to be satisfied with a small movie theater. His ultimate goal in movies, tvs and entertainment was to create a tv station.

But, in order to do that, he would need to find a medium capable of serving as an internet server.

“I will make sure to properly arrange things,” said Sir Weissenasche.

......

Zenarth was walking on the streets of Norland. The person leading the way for him was the dwarven Great Elder, Frostaxe.

This was Zenarth’s first time walking on a human street in such an open manner. Furthermore, he was not holding any weapons.

With his large frame, it was obvious that Zenarth would catch other’s notice. Some people reacted like they knew him and tried to get close. However, they were all pushed away by the dwarves surrounding Zenarth.

Exactly what is His Highness planning on doing?

Zenarth was pondering that question the entire time. With the experience gained from the Sin Demons’ serving the Demon Sovereigns for successive generations, the desire to enter the human world was extremely slim. More than anything, Demon Sovereigns would attempt to use various methods to conquer the human world.

Zenarth believed that the Third Prince he served must possess the same idea. Merely, the method that he employs was slightly different.

In a short few minutes, Frostaxe led Zenarth to a tavern called Hearthstone.

This Sin Demon felt that tavern must be their demons’ hideout.

But, to bring him to this place in such an open manner was simply too irrational. Sin Demons were not good at concealing their auras. Even his size was extremely eye-catching.

“Why are you still standing outside? Come on in.”

With Frostaxe’s enthusiastic reception, Zenarth had no choice but to lower his head and walk into the tavern.

The moment he entered the tavern, Zenarth’s warrior instinct caused him to enter a battle-ready state. He was able to feel that there was a powerful enemy in the vicinity.

At the same time, Messai who managed to have a good hand of cards suddenly raised her head. She immediately caught sight of Zenarth’s huge body standing by the entrance.

Sin... Sin Demon?!

Even though she was a veteran templar and instantly determined that huge figure standing there to be a demon, she still couldn’t help herself from being amazed.

Nevertheless, her abundant combat experience made her warrior instinct replace her shocked state of mind. Subconsciously, she tried to grab onto the sword on the right side of her waist.

Unfortunately, Messai grabbed thin air!

She had forgotten that she had delivered her armor and weapon to be maintained by the dwarven blacksmiths. Because of that, she was unable to participate in any patrols and decided to come to the tavern to fight the demons using Hearthstone.

Damn it... that demon by the door, no matter how she looked at it, it doesn’t seem like a fellow that would speak using Hearthstone.

The Sin Demons were a bunch of vicious monsters!

What the hell was going on? Why would something as dangerous as a Sin Demon appear in Norland?

Most ironic of all, the card Messai just drew was a weapon card by the name of ‘Truesilver Champion.'[1]

Oh how great it would be if that Truesilver Champion could materialize from the card. She would most definitely use that sword to take on that Sin Demon.

While she didn’t have a weapon, the veteran templar of the Holy Church still wouldn’t watch on helplessly as a demon murder the innocent humans.

Thus, Messai stood up from her table. In a manner of tavern brawls, she picked up a random wooden stool and, with hostility all over, began walking toward Zenarth.

Zenarth’s sharp claws immediately appeared from his hands. He too was prepared for a battle.

At the time when a battle seemed to be on the verge of erupting in the tavern, Frostaxe stood forth between the two.

“Have you forgotten about the rule of this tavern?!” shouted Frostaxe.

To speak using Hearthstone!

That was the rule of the tavern. Messai took a glance at Archbishop Desireless sitting at the corner of the tavern. When she saw him quietly shaking his head to indicate to her to calm down, the female knight reluctantly placed down the stoll.

Helplessly, she watched as the Sin Demon walked into the tavern.
