n“Is there any practical use with a magic like this?”

nThe dark elf skimmed over the contents on Mage Forum. She does not understand the meaning of ‘forum.’ As such, to her, it simply seemed like a series of words had appeared before her eyes.

nBut, leaving behind words in one’s field of vision was something that could be easily accomplished with illusion magic.

n‘This is its use.’

nJoshua didn’t say those words out loud. Instead, a message appeared on the Mage Forum. The person who sent that message was ‘Nightwatcher.’

nEven without needing Joshua to explain things for her, the dark elf was able to tell that it was Joshua who sent that message... Ever since coming in contact with Joshua, she has felt ‘astonished’ countless times.

n“This magic... is able to send messages back and forth?”

nThe dark elf knew of magics that could transmit messages back and forth. The most well-known among that kind of magic would be the Holy Light system’s ‘Transmission Imprint.’ That was the magic most used by the Ecclesiastical Templars.

nIn battles, Transmission Imprint could be used to transmit simple messages. But, the ‘magic’ before her, Joshua’s magic, was completely different.

n“No, it’s not transmission. Instead, it’s storage.”

nWith a wave of his hand, the white window disappeared before Joshua’s field of vision.

n“The messages written by anyone on this forum will forever remain on the forum. They will only disappear when they’re deleted by the administrator.”

n“Anyone...”

nThe dark elf noticed the keyword in what Joshua just said to her. She seemed to understand what Joshua meant by ‘new world.’

n“That’s right. Anyone. As long as that person believes in the God of Order and possesses this magic system, they will be able to communicate with other people on the forum once they obtain a proof of identity.”

n“This...”

nHearing Joshua’s explanation, the dark elf felt like shivering even though it wasn’t cold. It was not because she was afraid. Instead, it was because of shock.

nShe was not someone with a backward way of thinking. She soon realized what that forum represented. It would be an intrinsically ‘equal’ world.

nThere would be no differences between race or status. Everyone could communicate as equals in this whole new world.

nAnd, the only god in that world...

nThe dark elf turned to look at Joshua. Her eyes were silver-white. She was looking at Joshua with an expression like he was some sort of dangerous giant dragon.

nIt was like a sneeze from him would spit out a fireball that could burn her, bone included, to crisp.

n“Lord Joshua, is it possible for me to bring this magic back to the demon realm?”

nAfter the dark elf realized what sort of thing the ‘Mage Forum’ really was, her attitude toward Joshua had changed somewhat.

n“We are currently on a local area network. Once we cross the street, our communication will stop. As for trying to cross an entire realm, that’s simply impossible.”

nRight now, all that Joshua was waiting for was for the frost elf Tylene’s World Tree to germinate. Once that happens, he would be able to officially begin the promotion of the ‘Mage Forum’ in Norland. For now, JOshua was using his own mind as the network medium.

n“Local area network?”

nJoshua once again mentioned a list of words that the dark elf couldn’t comprehend.

n“In a nutshell, once this forum reaches the demon realm, it’ll be rendered useless.”

n

n

nThe dark elf was planning to ask more about the ‘Mage Forum’ when she heard footsteps from outside. This meant that her private conversation with Joshua had to end.

nFrom her experience, the dark elf determined those heavy footsteps to be from the dozen heavily armed knights.

nThe hallway to the cinema room was extremely narrow. There wasn’t even a single window. If the dark elf wanted to escape from those knights, it would not be difficult at all. But, facing them head on would be practically impossible.

n“Come to the Hearthstone Tavern when you’re free. I can talk about things with you in detail there. I will also hand you an originium crystal containing ‘Léon: The Demon’ there.”

nJoshua pushed open the door to the cinema room and turned back to look at the dark elf that has changed her appearance to Madam Schroder’s trusted aide. After leaving those words, he left the cinema room.

nWith her disguise ability back, escaping from a bunch of knights was nothing difficult. Thus, Joshua was not worried about the dark elf.

n.........

nAfter all the performers from the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe bowed to the audience on the premiere show, Joshua decided to add a final musical performance.

nThe person conducting the musical performance wasn’t anyone from the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe. Instead, it was the frost elf Tylene.

nNaturally, the musical performance was held for the sake of gathering ‘nourishment’ for Tylene’s World Tree.

nOriginally, the audiences were prepared to leave after all the cast for ‘Léon: The Demon’ exited the stage.

nGenerally, nobles would arrange their balls late at night. On top of that, ‘Léon: The Demon’ was over two hours long. Thus, it was approaching midnight now.

nIt was not a good time for Tylene to get on the stage. After their intense emotion shifts, the audiences were already getting sleepy.

nBut, taking Madam Schroder into consideration, they had no choice but to raise their concentration and finish listening to the musical performance.

n“It’s still not over?”

nSeated at the backmost row, General Fred was planning to stand up and leave. He was already very old... and was showing signs of sleepiness at this hour. He was planning to use his final strength to do some diplomatic exchange with Madam Schroder.

nHe was also planning to casually ask Madam Schroder if the demon hitman by the name of Léon needed an employer.

nNever did he expect for the movie premier to not be over. The person who got on the stage afterwards was not any cast from ‘Léon: The Demon.’ Instead, it was an elven girl they’ve never seen before.

n“I’ve heard the musical performance from elves from the nation of Niburhol before. Teacher, you will likely be able to have a sound sleep after listening to her performance,” said Kaos.

n“Make sure to wake me up later.”

nGeneral Fred closed his eyes. He was preparing to sleep.

nBut, the moment the music sounded from the stage, the moment the music gradually started to climax, the old general abruptly opened his eyes.

n“We now need to recruit one more person.”

nKaos was listening to the arousing music resounding through the entire performance hall. How was this supposed to be an elven lullaby? After hearing the song, Kaos had an urge to save the world.

nAfter two weeks of practice, Tylene was able to perfectly perform the songs Joshua wrote for her.

nThis was her third performance on an actual stage. Tylene managed to perfectly finish singing all the songs. After she paid a humble respect to the audience, she left the stage.

nFrom the moment the music began, Tylene was able to feel some sort of change happening to her body. She was starting to hear some of the voices from the others’ hearts. Or perhaps this could be said to be ‘prayers.’

nWhen Tylene opened her hands and summoned out the World Tree seed from her body, she discovered that a soft shoot had appeared out from the surface of the World Tree seed.
