Chapter 91 - The Harbinger
The World Expo had a very demanding requirement for entries. Before meeting Joshua, Hyrlan has applied to enter the World Expo with her arcanotech device to the Advanced Magic University three times. Yet, in all three occasions, she was denied on the premise that there were insufficient spaces.
The Crystal Palace’s floor space was limited. A portion of the floor space was reserved for the various nations. The other portion was reserved for Norland’s various Advanced Magic Universities and famous alchemic ateliers.
As the spaces were truly scarce, Hyrlan, an ordinary magic student, would most definitely be rejected.
Madam Schroder represented Farucci. The floor space reserved for a country would be sufficient enough for Joshua to display ‘Hearthstone’ in full swing.
After coming to a decision to cooperate, Joshua and Madam Schroder’s afternoon tea ended in delight to both parties.
Regretfully, Joshua didn’t manage to catch sight of the Flower of Farucci during this afternoon tea. Perhaps she was hiding somewhere to practice her acting skills.
After he returned to the Hearthstone Tavern from Madam Schroder’s mansion, Joshua began to prepare for the upcoming World Expo.
Joshua naturally knew fully Ciri’s feelings for him. If he could find a girlfriend as beautiful as her, it would be his fortune of several lifetimes.
Since coming to Norland, Joshua has worked for nearly two months straight nonstop in order to consolidate a base, a foundation, in this city. It was indeed time for him to relax and take care of things like feelings and relationships.
While Joshua was pondering about all that, the horse carriage that has been traveling through Norland’s bustling streets for close to half an hour finally came to a stop.
“Mister Joshua, we’ve arrived at the venue for the World Expo. Lady Duchess is already waiting for you inside the Crystal Palace.”
It was the exhibition where practically all the major nations of this world were participating in, the exhibition held to display the latest arcanotech devices.
Joshua patted his suitcase. It was time for the people of this world to experience the way of entertainment from the Information Age.
