Squirrel Street.
The street had undergone a number of changes recently, the most obvious of which was the increasing number of people who had come to Squirrel Street.
The merchants who lived in Squirrel Street began to sell souvenirs, among which the miniature statue of the Loyal Dog Ba Gong was the most popular.
The second small change was the largest building in Squirrel Street. A goblin pawnshop that was four stories tall was declared bankrupt. The pawnshop’s sign was removed and turned into the ‘Black dove news center’
“Did you gather any new information today?”
The Dark Elves stood in the Parliament Hall on the third floor of the building. In front of the Dark Elves was a round table. The round table was full of people.
Only a small portion of the dark elves were humans, and most of them were of the rarer races.
They were once members of the black pigeons. They lived in the shadows of Nolan and lived a poor life, relying on selling intelligence and some shady business to maintain their livelihood.
This situation ended after the Dark Elves reached an agreement with Joshua.
The Dark Elves did not quite understand what Joshua meant by five risks and one gold. However, these black pigeons got a legitimate job… a reporter, and a reward that was enough for them to support themselves and their families.
The unspeakable matter of gathering information was also given a legitimate title, ‘news interview’.
“Leader, the price of the white crystal ore in the alchemy market suddenly increased yesterday,”a lizard man raised his hand and reported.
“Don’t bring out such price information!”The Dark Elves immediately rejected his suggestion.
“Then… There was a duel at the leader Ruersk Advanced Magic Academy Yesterday,”another young black pigeon raised his hand and reported.
“Did anyone die?”The Dark Elf asked.
“No… No.”
This answer made the Dark Elf shake her head in disappointment. After working as a reporter for several months, not only did she understand some of the secrets of this profession, she even gained a lot of experience.
This experience made her no longer satisfied with some boring ‘small news’. What she needed was big news! Big News that could really inspire people.
“But there’s blood, and the brawlers seem to be two nobles,”the black pigeon added.
“This way, we might be able to report for a while. Remember to leave the interview materials behind,”the Dark Elf replied.
At this moment, a goblin hurriedly ran into the hall of the parliament and handed a sealed scroll to another goblin sitting at the Round Table.
“Leader! There was an explosion in an alchemy factory near the Gear River just now!”
“Bring people to the scene immediately!”
Just like that, the Dark Elf spent an hour sorting out the news materials that should be reported on the news the next morning.
Just as she was about to go to the Hearthstone Tavern with the materials that she had sorted out, she happened to see a message from Joshua asking her to go to the Hearthstone Tavern.
..
The Dark Elf who had transformed into a crow flew into the second floor of the Hearthstone Tavern.
“Thousand faces, how are the black pigeons doing recently?”Joshua looked at the Crow that had landed on the floor.
A black light enveloped the crow’s entire body, and it did not take long for it to return to its original appearance as a dark elf.
“I can only respond more and more skillfully. The Black Pigeons’job is to collect information. Your Highness Joshua, you have turned it into a legitimate job. The black pigeons are very satisfied with this job, which has a steady salary.”
“What if you leave?”Joshua asked again.
”…”
This question stunned the Dark Elf for a moment. She suddenly remembered that her job was not to be a ‘reporter’, but to be the protector of the four princesses of the demon world, as well as an avenger.
With the magic net, the Dark Elf was able to communicate with the four princesses on the magic net every day, which gradually made her focus on her job as a reporter.
Nolan’s peaceful life made the Dark Elf almost forget her days as a judge, as well as her blood-soaked hatred for the judge.
“Do you want me to assassinate someone?”The Dark Elf was guessing the reason why Joshua was going to transfer her away.
“It’s not an assassination. It’s just an interview mission. I’ll need to go to another country. The time will probably be around fifteen days to a month.”
Joshua took out a map of the frost kingdom and spread it out on his desk. Then, he pointed at the fortress at the border of the Frost Kingdom.
“There might be a big civil war in the Frost Kingdom recently.”
“Civil War?”
The Frost Kingdom was very far away from Nolan. The Dark Elves did not understand why Joshua knew about this kingdom.
“That’s right. It’s the civil war caused by the twelfth Prince of the Frost Kingdom, Shiel. You can also make it into a revolution.”
Joshua told the Dark Elves about the information he got from the frost owl.
The Dark Elf listened to Joshua’s story quietly. The more she listened, the more her hands began to tremble in excitement.
She was excited because her instinct as a reporter told her that this was the ‘Big News’that she wanted!
The prince had personally stirred up internal strife in the country and pointed his sword at the major nobles of the Frost Kingdom! Just this piece of news alone was enough to attract the attention of the entire Nolan, and even the entire world.
Next was the cause of the internal strife that Joshua mentioned, and that was the heretic inquisitors that originated from the land of the sacred religion.
“If this prince’s plan succeeds, then it will be a bloody blow to the Heretic Court,”the Dark Elf said softly.
“What you need to do is to record this internal strife with the camera,”Joshua said. “This is not a short news interview, but a follow-up report. I hope that you can completely record what this prince has done, during which you can interview some of the local residents about the views of this prince, or if you have the opportunity to interview the prince himself. In short… What you need to do is to make a documentary, not just a simple news report.”
After saying this, Joshua looked at the Dark Elf once more.
“This will take a very long time, and it will be in an unfamiliar country. If you are not willing to accept this mission, you can tell me.”
“Of course I am! Your Highness Joshua!”
The Dark Elf took a deep breath to calm herself down.
This mission would not only allow her to witness the death of the judges, but also allow her to film epic news as a reporter.
The only regret was that the fourth princess could not follow her to the Frost Kingdom.
“Very good. I will send you to the Frost Kingdom through the border fortress of the demon world. You can tell me if you have any material requirements.”Jose still believed in the Dark Elf’s control of the camera.
After such a long period of training, she had long become a qualified photographer.
“But after you leave, will the black pigeons still be so eager to work?”Joshua asked the only thing he was worried about.
“If you want to make the black pigeons listen to you, you only need two things. The first is money, and the second is deterrence.”The Dark Elf told him his experience of managing the black pigeons for so many years. “Your Highness Joshua, you have provided them with money, and I am a deterrence to make them obey you. While I am away, I suggest that you invite the Watcher named Pest to Nolan for a period of time.”
Joshua remembered the Watcher named Pester. She was loyal to his sister, Cecily. She was also a vampire.
At that time, she had followed her elder sister’s orders and ran to Nolan, wanting to bring Joshua back.
“Her?”
“Pester had stayed in Nolan for a period of time. She was once one of the founders of the black pigeon. Although she has left, she has a strong reputation among the black pigeons,”the Dark Elf said.
“It seems that I have to ask my elder sister if she can let Pesto come to Nolan on a business trip for a period of time.”
“Then allow me to make some preparations, your highness Joshua.”
After the Dark Elf placed the press release for Tomorrow on Joshua’s desk, he turned into a crow and flew out of Joshua’s study.
