Chapter 243





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.


“Shouldn’t we try to dig out news on our own? For example... those phony believers.”


The dark elf had only just switched her occupation not long ago but has already realized the true essence of being a reporter.


Apart from reorganizing the Black Dove, she had spent the majority of her time in the vicinity of a small chapel in Norland.


But, ever since Norland’s law enforcers forcibly demolished the chapel’s basement, the chapel started becoming bleak. The clergies started to rarely exit the chapel. Because of that, Thousand Faces was unable to gather information that could strike at the authority of the Nation of the Holy Church.


“To the missionaries from the Nation of the Holy Church, the City of Norland might be a nation of barbarians with unchecked beliefs.”


Joshua returned the booklet to the dark elf.


“You will not be able to gather any useful information from that chapel.”


“Then...”


“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.’


“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.


“Is the person I’m interviewing... a Blackwood Elf?”


Pluk flipped the script to the last page. That page was titled ‘Interview with a Blackwood Forest’s survivor.’


“The Blackwood Elves are likely not familiar with facing the ‘camera.’ As such, I’ve invited a more experienced interviewee. She should be here soon. Please wait a bit.”


Joshua took a glance at the clock outside the Noiseless Room. There was still an hour left before the Morning News airs. Right at this moment, his assistant Ciri walked up the stairs and arrived at the Noiseless Room.


“They’re here,” said Ciri.


Gallolei and two Blackwood Elves followed Ciri into the Noiseless Room.


“I thought you’ll spend a long time putting on make-up for this interview,” Joshua looked at Gallolei. The Flower of Farucci was dressed very plainly today.


Like the two Blackwood Elves behind her, she was wearing a hood. It was only after she entered the Noiseless Room that she removed her hood.


“I’ve heard from Mister Joshua that the audience from the Voice of Norland is only able to hear my voice. As such, I didn’t bother with needless make-ups.”


Gallolei examined the Noiseless Room. This place was arranged very concisely. Apart from a room being covered in glass, the layout of this place was quite similar to the Hearthstone Tavern below.


“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?”


Elder Safran had also examined the surroundings. His gaze stopped for a moment on Thousand Faces, the dark elf, who stood next to Joshua. Even though he was very curious, he did not inquire Joshua the origin of the dark elf out of respect.


“That’s right. Through the branch of the World Tree, the majority of the citizens in Norland are able to hear your voices in this place regardless of where in Norland they’re at. Furthermore, this is an opportunity for your World Tree to obtain more ‘nourishment.’”


Joshua pointed to the branch in the Noiseless Room. Tylene’s room was located right above the Noiseless Room. Her World Tree’s branches and roots had already extended into the Noiseless Room.


At this moment, Elder Safran turned to look at Priestess Oranka.


To any Blackwood Elf, the memory of their Blackwood Forest being burned down was something painful and humiliating.


Without a doubt, this interview would be for them to personally announce to the world what happened to them.


Since earlier, Priestess Oranka has been quiet. Her gaze looked to the branch of the World Tree that had extended into the Noiseless Room. In the end, she finally removed her hood.


“Please let our voices reach the residents of this city... The sins committed by the Heresy Tribunal should not be hidden in the shadows,” said Priestess Oranka.
