Cultural Invasion In Different World

Chapter 277

Joshua arrived at the study Madam Schroder would use in the mansion. He picked up the quill pen and began to write the musical score according to his memories.

Ciri gave the missionaries from the Demon Realm a tour around the Farucci’s Mansion. Likely, their living spaces were being prepared.

“I never would’ve expected to be able to see that great one again,” Sir Weissenasche was sitting in the study and mumbling to himself.

“Don’t be so surprised. Sir Weissenasche, I have a job for you,” Joshua pushed a piece of paper he finished writing on to the other side of the desk. The content of that paper was not musical scores. Instead, it was a ‘plan.’

“World’s Singers? Mister Joshua, is this the script for a new movie?” Sir Weissenasche took a glance at the title and was immediately interested.

“No, it’s not a movie. But, like movies, it’s a program that would gain a lot of attention and joy from its audiences... I’ve decided to recruit people interested in singing throughout the city of Norland and have them sing on a stage. The course of events will be broadcasted in a manner similar to ‘movies,’” Joshua briefly explained the process of the event.

After hearing Joshua’s introduction, Sir Weissenasche began to skim through the contents of the plan.

“Mister Joshua, you wanted to establish... viewing... screens for movies... all over Norland?” After some time, Sir Weissenasche determined the ‘special terms’ written on the plan.

“This program will be broadcasted via the ‘Voice of Norland.’ The audiences will be able to listen to the singers’ voices, their singing and their experience, through the broadcast. The audiences will also be able to vote via the Mage Forum to support their favorite competitors,” said Joshua.

“But, Mister Joshua, very few people in Norland are trained in stage performances. If you have those ordinary citizens get on the stage, a lot of unforeseen situations will occur.”

Sir Weissenasche took out his handkerchief to wipe away the sweat covering his forehead. He cannot imagine what sort of spectacle it would be to allow those that had not received stage training to get on stage to perform.

“I will be holding a preselection audition before all this. Only the best candidates that passed the first round will be able to get on the stage... What you really need to be concerned with is how to spread the ‘broadcasting screens’ to Norland’s various regions.”

Joshua took out an originium crystal and a leaf of the World Tree. The combination of the two items will be able to create a preliminary television set.

But, if Joshua placed them all over Norland, he would, at the very minimum, need to prevent thieves.

“That wouldn’t be an issue, Mister Joshua. I know many of Norland’s shop and inn managers. Also, the outside of the Weissenasche Theater could also be used as a ‘broadcasting screen.’” Sir Weissenasche knew that the mission Joshua gave him required him to use his connections in Norland.

“In that case, all that remains will be spreading out the news of the program and finding a venue for the competition. The Weissenasche Theater will not be able to vacate a screening theater for the competition right now... In that case, go and purchase Norland’s National Theater.”

Joshua had long considered expanding the theater. Because of the television program, he had no choice but to move ahead with this plan ahead of schedule.

“Do you have abundant funds?”

“There’s no issue with that at all!”

Finally, Sir Weissenasche could deliver a fatal blow to his old rival. He seemed to be itching to do so already.

“That’s all that I can think of for now. I will take care of the promotion and advertisement. You’ll handle the rest.”

Joshua opened the magic network interface. Even though he had yet to decide on the date for the start of the ‘World’s Singers,’ Joshua decided to compose a recruitment post ahead of time.

.........

The small chapel at the edge of Norland.

The Saintess Herolia and her followers arrived at the Nation of the Holy Church’s only chapel in Norland.

No one came to greet them as the saintess had not informed anyone of her journey to Norland. However, out of concern for her safety, her trusted aide Darco insisted on having two templar legion commanders accompany them.

“You all don’t have to follow me.”

Herolia directly proceeded further into the chapel. Bishop Darco and the templars could only watch as Herolia walked away.

Herolia arrived at the most concealed prayer room. She took a glance at the God’s sculpture but did not offer any prayer. Instead, with a wave of her hand, she opened the magic network terminal.

“So there’s around thirty thousand listeners for the Voice of Norland today?”

Saintess Herolia quickly skimmed through the news on the Mage Forum.

Over the course of half a month, she had mastered how to use the Mage Forum to gather intelligence.

Among the intelligence she gathered, most were about the Frost Elf Tylene.

Tylene was the person where a World Tree lodges. As for her World Tree, it could be said to be the World Tree that grew the fastest in the entire history of World Trees!

The speed of growth of a World Tree was directly proportional to the amount of believers it had. The amount of ‘believers’ that Frost Elf Tylene had was truly frightening.

All of this was due to the magic network!

“Joshua...”

Herolia tapped into related posts on the Mage Forum and muttered the name of the magic network’s creator.

Joshua Annerlaude, a dangerous Chaos Demon!

Saintess Herolia knew that information very well. Nevertheless, she still chose to come to the city where this dangerous Chaos Demon was hiding. It was all because she wanted more ‘believers.’

By ‘believers,’ she did not mean people that believed in the religion of the Nation of the Holy Church. Using the terms on the Mage Forum, it would be people that were loyal to her... fans.

Only the Chaos Demon who controlled the magic network would be able to accomplish such a feat.

But, as she was the Saintess of the Nation of the Holy Church, if she was to seek out cooperation with a demon, it will not only be very detrimental to her situation, she could also be potentially taken advantage of by that demon.

“Wait....” As Herolia skimmed through the posts on the forum, she suddenly saw a post with ‘audition’ in its title.

‘Audition for the ‘World’s Singers’ is currently underway. Regardless of where in Norland you might be from, if you have a good voice, why not come give it a try?!’

Herolia immediately tapped into the post. After briefly skimming through the contents, a smile finally bloomed on her face.

“What an amusing show,” Herolia did not hesitate too much and pushed open the door of the prayer room.

Her attendant, Bishop Darco, has been waiting for her outside.

“Lady Saintess, have you finished your prayers?” It was Bishop Darco’s first time seeing the saintess leaving a prayer room this quickly.

Recently, in the Nation of the Holy Church, Herolia would always communicate with the gods at night till the wee hours of the next day.

“It’s finished. Prepare me a carriage,” said Herolia.

“Where to?”

“Weissenasche Theater!”

Herolia realized that her opportunity arrived.
