Bringing Culture to a Different World

Chapter 314

Thinking of this, Prophet opened her magic network interface and entered the Mage Forum’s World’s Singers sub-forum.

After an entire night of fermentation, the World’s Singers sub-forum became extremely rich in hostility.

The users on the sub-forum were generally divided into two factions. Even though they were only commenting with words, even though they’ve tried their best to control their languages because of the User Agreement they signed because they could lose the privilege to use the Mage Forum otherwise, Prophet could still smell the gunpowder in the air, the looming war.

The users from all over Norland, for the sake of two girls that were not related to them, were in heated arguments with one another.

Prophet couldn’t help but see them as the followers of two different sects picking fault at one another to prove their goddess to be better.

But, the only thing Lia and Luvita did was perform two songs on the stage.

While Prophet was unable to comprehend exactly what was so entertaining about the World’s Singers, she was able to comprehend what the Demon Realm’s Third Prince was planning...

Joshua held this competition so that the masses of Norland will become fond of that elf girl.

It was the same as how he created multiple demon ‘actors’ well-received by humans through movies.

Prophet instinctively connected the reason why Joshua was doing that to the magic network’s source.

In other words, the elves’ World Trees...

Before Prophet could finish skimming through the post she’s on, a message appeared before her eyes.

The person who sent the message was a woman called Hyrlan.

To Prophet, she could be said to be her ‘senior student’ in the Advanced Magic Academy.

She also held another identity — a student learning ‘programming’ from the Demon Realm’s Third Prince.

Prophet tapped open the message. It was a very short message, only a single sentence long.

‘I’m outside Farucci’s Mansion.’

“Got it.’

Prophet’s fingers quickly tapped away on the virtual keyboard. Even though she had only started using the magic network recently, she was already very proficient with using the ‘system’ created through a large quantity of inscription runes.

The more she used the magic network, the more aware of the convenience offered by this special ‘magic’ she became.

Right now, the magic network was already able to create a massive social forum capable of containing the entire population of Norland. The people of Norland were not only exchanging words with each other, they were also able to communicate through pictures.

Prophet believed that with the current speed of progression, ‘movies’ will soon appear on the magic network too...

“Teacher, are we going out to purchase alchemic materials?”

“That’s right... Have you all decided on what sort of arcanotech devices you’re planning to study?”

With a wave of her hand, Prophet closed her magic network interface. She turned to look at her four students.

“I want to try building an arcanotech puppet! The ones... that’re capable of functioning on their own!”

The filthy-blooded vampire girl was the first to speak her aspiration. She was quite excited.

They had been to the Klia Trading Company’s alchemic ateliers yesterday. Among those alchemic ateliers, the technology related to arcanotech puppets was truly stunning.

“I’m planning to study at the factory building those Flying Airships.”

“Arcanotech Vehicles!”

Prophet quietly listened to her students’ aspirations. However, she was unable to feel any joy from them.

The reason for that was because none of her apprentices wanted to learn any arcanotech devices that had to do with agriculture and farming.

“Teacher, what about you?”

Suddenly, one of Prophet’s students asked her that question. She was slightly startled by it.

Her mission in coming to Norland was to solve the matter of the famine affecting the Demon Realm. Only after that would she be able to focus on the Demon Realm’s development and growth.

As such, she should be learning arcanotech devices and machineries that would assist in the cultivation of land. But, what she actually wanted to learn in her heart was something completely different.

“Programming,” Prophet did not conceal her desire and spoke of the truth.

“Teacher, what is programming?”

“It’s a course taught by His Highness Joshua in Lursk Advanced Magic Academy.”

Prophet did not present her students more opportunities to ask questions. She got up from her seat and walked toward the theater room’s exit.

Her students also got up to follow her out Farucci’s Mansion.

Outside Farucci’s Mansion, Hyrlan and her close friend Sansa were waiting.

“Are you all nobles from Farucci?”

Sansa approached the youngest-looking person in the group, Prophet. This girl who believed in the Holy Light completely failed to detect Prophet was a demon.

“No, I am a relative of the teacher for the ‘programming’ course.”

Without the slightest change in her expression, Prophet lied. Sansa seemed like a girl easily deceived.

“Teacher Joshua’s relative?”

Those words caught Hyrlan’s attention. Hyrlan couldn’t help herself from taking another glance at the young ‘junior student.’

“Is there an issue?” Prophet noticed Hyrlan’s gaze. Prophet had inquired into this human woman’s identity before.

While she was born from the Nation of Frost, a nation hostile toward the Demon Realm, her background was ‘very clean.’ Prophet viewed her as a tour guide of Norland.

The only thing that gave Prophet a slight headache was the fact that Hyrlan’s younger sister Ciri was simply too close with His Highness Joshua.

“No, it’s nothing.”

Hyrlan shook her head. She stopped digging deeper into this issue.

“Then, Senior Hyrlan, where should we go to purchase the necessary alchemic materials?”

Prophet was not against using her young appearance to her benefits. After all, her appearance allowed her to easily acquire sympathy from humans. Not only will it make humans loosen their guards toward her, it would also help her acquire many benefits.

“A store called the Klia Alchemic Shop. Come, follow me.”

Hyrlan decided to become the guide out of her own accord. After walking for over an hour, she led Prophet and her four students to the most lively alchemic marketplace in Norland.

Evidently, it was the first time Prophet’s students saw such a lively marketplace. As Prophet didn’t pay close attention to her students, one of them actually left the group and walked toward a storefront to tease the cat, dally with spiders and lizards.

Prophet did not feel the need to concern herself with her students. Even if they were to separate in this market, they could communicate with each other using the magic network.

Hyrlan continued to guide Prophet. Soon, they arrived at a store called the Klia Alchemic Shop.

“Are you certain this is the right store?”

Prophet examined the store. It was located in the center of Norland’s alchemic marketplace, the best section of the marketplace.

But, Prophet felt it strange that people were passing by the store all the time but barely anyone bothered to enter it. The interior of the store also appeared very empty.

It kinda resembled a ghost house in the city center.

“Recently, there have been a couple incidents of magic acting out of control in Klia Alchemic Shop,” whispered Hyrlan.

Before Prophet could say anything, Hyrlan’s friend Sansa pulled Hyrlan’s hand, dragged her toward her and asked, “Hyrlan, why are you coming to this place to purchase items then? Don’t you think we should go to that Loraft Trading Company’s alchemic shop instead?”

Prophet did not bother to pay attention to the two human girls’ conversation. Her gaze was focused at the entrance of the Klia Alchemic Shop.

She saw a familiar silhouette inside the shop. It was the Demon Realm’s Third Prince Joshua.

Because of that, Prophet pulled open the door and entered the seemingly near-bankrupt Klia Alchemic Shop without any hesitation.
