Chapter 55
As night fell, Frostaxe ended the day’s work as he went up from the underground dwarven city to Norland on the surface.
“Great Elder, I’m going to crush these fools beneath my flagon! I’ll head off first!”
“Shut your gob and get lost!”
Frostaxe stared at the young dwarfs as he watched their figures disappeared into the corners of Norland’s streets. Stroking his white beard, he let out a sigh.
He was older than Norland itself, and he was one of the first dwarfs to have discovered the ruins beneath the city, a pioneer of the underground ruins and… the builder and founder of the city of Norland.
From Norland initially being a village of mages to the most prosperous city in the world, Frostaxe had seen his fair share of trouble the length of his beard.
But times had changed, and even a long-lived dwarf will still age, even if he was the Great Elder of the Frostaxe Clan.
With Frostaxe’s aged body, he can no longer be like those younger dwarfs holding and gorging upon wooden flagons of beer until he was satisfied.
What Ciri asked for surprised Joshua somewhat as the “not too excessive” request also included letting her go free.
He did not expect that the petite lady mage had already forgotten her status as a prisoner, and was more concerned about the script Joshua had shown her a few days ago. The preliminary script of “Leon: The Demon”.
“I have not finished the final parts yet. I will only start filming the movie once I’m done with the production of Hearthstone.”
Joshua had been busy coding these few days, and he had only written the start of the script on a whim and was discovered by Ciri who lived under the same roof.
After “Beauty and the Demon”, Ciri had once again become a glorious member of the “Update PLS!” gang.
“Production…The original art you gave me still has about a hundred of them, but I have completed the basic card layout. Give me a few days.”
Joshua had no complaints about Ciri’s work efficiency. After Joshua had finished the outline in advance, she directly filled in the details and colored them.
Ciri was not in a hurry either. As long as she follows Joshua, she will be able to read the completed script of “Leon: The Demon”, and participate in the filming of the movie!
This was what Ciri anticipated the most.
“Alright, the testing is almost done.”
Joshua had planned to stop providing power to the machine as he felt a slight tremor on the ground.
A dwarf had been standing by the machine without him noticing with wide-opened eyes staring at the screen seemingly trying to figure out what the machine was.
That scene reminded Joshua of the first time he visited an arcade hall, and simply just stood behind someone watching them play, and only mustering the courage to try it out himself after a long while.
“Want to give it a try?” Joshua looked at the seemingly ancient old dwarf and asked.
