After Joshua returned from the Weissenasche Theater, he immediately brought Zenarth to the dwarven underground city to teleport the Sin Demon wanted by the Holy Church, the servant that was no different from a nuclear weapon, out of Norland.

Mainly, it was because Joshua’s servant didn’t want to stay in this place filled with humans. On the meet-and-greet, those enthusiastic girls even added some bowknots onto Zenarth’s fur.

From that experience, Zenarth realized the human women were not at all less terrifying than male warriors. Because of that, he requested Joshua to send him back to the Demon Realm for the time being. As for Joshua, there was no reason for him to refuse Zenarth.

Joshua was not planning to hold a second meet-and-greet for ‘Beauty and the Demon.’ He had already accomplished what he wanted to achieve using that movie.

All that’s left now was to wait for the popularity of the movie to die down and for it to be recorded onto the annals of this world as a ‘classic.’

After sending Zenarth back, it was already late at night. Zenarth returned to the Hearthstone Tavern. The tavern looked practically the same as any other day.

Even if the sky was to collapse, the dwarves and humans in the tavern would still continue to play Hearthstone with no regard to anything. The only difference would be the dwarves had learned how to utilize the ‘trade’ function of their card storage and began trading cards with one another to obtain the cards they wanted.

While the ‘Classic’ card set was a bit lacking in cards to do trades, it was enough to last these otherworldly dwarves a couple a month or two. That said, Joshua was currently not planning to launch a new card set.

After Joshua greeted his chief manager Melina, he entered the second floor and returned to his office.

A letter was placed atop the table covered in all sorts of useless documents. The Weissenasche symbol on the letter was particularly eye-catching.

That was a letter from Sir Weissenasche. The owl that delivered the letter was still by Joshua’s desk. It had its brown eyes wide open and was staring at Joshua.

This meant that the letter had just arrived. It was definitely something Sir Weissenasche had the owl deliver to Joshua after Joshua left the Weissenasche Theater.

The mages possessed a special sort of relationship with the mysterious creature owls. Because of that, the city of Norland would always use especially trained owls to send letters.

Joshua picked up the letter and opened it. He discovered that, apart from a piece of paper, there was also an emblem inside the envelope. The emblem’s background was completely white. In the center was a pitch-black ancient tree with roots entrenched upon itself. The emblem was also giving off a strange aura.

To the nobles of this world, emblems were the proof of their identity.

Back then, the Duke of Bones gave Joshua an unknown emblem. However, that emblem was enough for Sir Weissenasche to realize that there existed a special relationship between the Duke of Bones and Joshua.

As such, Joshua was certain that this emblem with the pitch-black ancient tree was the proof of identity for a certain noble.

Joshua placed down the emblem and began reading the letter.

‘Mister Joshua, please excuse me for suddenly disturbing you at such a late hour. A Grand Duchess from Farucci wishes to invite you to enjoy afternoon tea with her tomorrow…”

A Grand Duchess from Farucci?

If Joshua’s memory served him correctly, Farucci was known to be the Nation of Arts in this world.

It was the birthplace of stage plays. Furthermore, it has produced countless painters and composers. It was said that even their King was a music-lover.

While Farucci would not be considered to be very powerful in this world, they were not a nation that could be looked down upon either.

Why would a Grand Duchess from Farucci seek him out? Could it be to obtain the method to film movies?

That was the only possible explanation Joshua could think of.

Norland’s World Expo would be akin to a ‘convention of novel and unusual things’ on earth.
