Chapter 319 Prologue

A bottle of alchemy potion slipped from the hands of a stunned caster.

The sound of glass shattering echoed clearly in the entire Klia Alchemy Shop, completely breaking the weird silence before.

"Bell just killed that knight by herself?"

"More than one knight!"

Because it was a short film, the battle was very brief. Belle killed seven knights in just one minute by relying on the alchemy props she was carrying.

When she walked out of the flames with her lover, the entire alchemy shop fell into silence again, but this time the silence didn't last long before it was overwhelmed by applause like a tide.

Joshua could see the excited audience embracing each other... Although it was only a small commercial, the ability to arouse the audience's emotions proved that Joshua had succeeded.

"In this way, these people will enter what you call the 'buy, buy, buy' state?" Ciri put the prophet back on the ground, and then glanced at the surrounding crowd.

"The accumulation of popularity and word-of-mouth will take some time, and the TV has already attracted enough customers for this alchemy shop."

Joshua didn't expect Klia Firm to defeat all of Nolan's business rivals with just one commercial, but with such a huge response to the first short film, Joshua believed that the audience would not be satisfied.

At this time, the screen gradually fell into darkness. Qiao Xiu didn't have enough programs for the 'television station' to run 24 hours a day, and this was exactly what Qiao Xiu was going to do next.

"If you need to buy something, just use this contract, it's free."

Joshua gave the prophet a parchment scroll with the emblem of the Kelia Chamber of Commerce.

"Your Highness, the people from Kelia Trading Company seem to be looking for you." The prophet immediately caught the key information from the noisy voice in the store.

After the advertisement ended, Fritt, the manager of Kelia Firm, hurried down the stairs, looking around for Joshua.

Judging from his flushed face, he experienced the success of this advertisement firsthand.

"It seems to be to invite Your Highness to the banquet." The prophet continued, "This is a good opportunity for Your Highness to broaden your network."

"Uh... this troubles you too, Fleet knows that you are my emissary."

However, Joshua didn't intend to attend the banquet. He found a top hat from somewhere and went directly through the crowd with Shirley.

When the entire Kelia shop was in an atmosphere of cheers and celebrations, Joshua and Ciri disappeared into the shop without making a sound.

"Aren't you going to eat?"

Shirley followed behind Qiao Xiu and glanced around the alchemy market. At this time, the entire alchemy market was filled with a... festival-like atmosphere.

Must be Beauty and the Devil fans celebrating the resurrection of the Demon Prince!

"I don't mind if you want to go, Shirley, but I have more important things to do next." Joshua found a driver of a carriage and sat on it, then waved to the group of prophets standing at the door. as farewell.

"What's more important?"

Shirley ignored what Joshua said earlier, and got into the carriage with Joshua behind.

"Witness the birth of a brand new genre of music." Qiao Xiu said.

………………

A slightly rundown tavern on the corner of Squirrel Street.

Not long after the short film of "Beauty and the Devil" ended, the guests in the tavern were still immersed in the joy of Belle's reunion with the devil prince.

But in the alley outside the tavern, Holm stood in the darkest corner of the alley with a bruised face. In front of him were two tall orcs.

Just as Holm supported his swaying body to stand up, one of the orcs swung his fist and hit him hard in the abdomen...His stomach acid began to roll, and his body lost his balance and fell on the ground full of sewage .

"Damn it...the silver coins I owed you...have been returned to you." Holm propped himself up on his elbows, and looked at the two orcs waving their fingers in front of him.

"To be precise, you still owe one silver coin." A short goblin walked out from behind the orc, his small eyes fixed on Holm who fell into the sewage, "And you owe a full thirty-seven days, Holm, you You're already a 'big celebrity' who appeared on that screen, how should you take care of your old friends?"

Hearing the goblin mention the word celebrity, Home clenched his blood-stained lips and clenched his fists.

But in the next second, he seemed to remember something, his clenched hands lost strength, and his eyes dimmed.

"I... am not famous at all." Holm's voice carried a trace of pleading: "So give me a little more time for that silver coin, and I... will definitely be able to..."

Before Holm could finish speaking, the orc kicked him in the stomach again.

"Boy...you are quite self-aware, but you borrowed one silver coin thirty-seven days ago, and now you have to repay two gold coins." The goblin's voice sounded like he was expecting something, "I know you are useless Human beings have no ability to repay, didn't you adopt a baby girl? I happen to have an employer who needs that little guy..."

As soon as Holm heard the goblin mentioned the baby girl, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the calf of one of the orcs... This action completely angered the orc, and he let out a low growl, wanting to kick her Step on Holm's chest.

But in the next second, a pure white magical radiance bloomed in the dark alley, and the orc seemed to be held by an invisible arm, and there was no room for resistance to be shot directly into the wall.

"Baby trafficking is absolutely taboo in that country, right? Everyone."

The voice... sounded at the end of the alley, and the goblin turned around in horror to find two humans standing at the end of the alley... one of them was holding a staff with a faint light.

The orc next to the goblin roared, drew a short knife from his arms, and rushed towards the two humans.

But the human holding the staff just waved his finger, and the orc, who was nearly two meters tall, was suspended in mid-air under the effect of the magic inscription, and then drew a beautiful arc fiercely fell on the other side of the alley.

The goblin had already realized the gap in strength at this moment, and the timid goblin jumped into Nolan's sewer without even thinking about it and disappeared.

At this time, Home gradually regained consciousness. He wiped the mud blocking his eyes with his hands, and looked up to see the figure standing in front of him by the moonlight.

"You won't be able to participate in the next game lying here."

A pure white inscription of order also appeared on Qiao Xiu's hand, and with the help of a mage, he helped the human who had fallen into the sewage to his feet.
