Qiao Xiu slowly walked down from the top of the Gray Clothing Mage Tower, holding the relic that looked like a stone slab in his hand.

An hour ago, Qiao Xiu came to the Gray Clothing Mage Tower as promised, and the wise sage also initially judged the function of this relic.

‘After it is activated, magic is constantly spreading around it, like sending some message, maybe asking for help or to gather companions.’

This is the original sentence of the gray-clothed person.

Calling up companions? Qiao Xiu looked at the blue interface of the stone slab.

If this special magical mechanism is activated all the time to attract the people who make it, Joshu would be happy to turn it on for a while every day.

"Stop it!"

When Qiao Xiu came to the bottom of the mage tower, Qiao Xiu heard an angry cry.

A large number of feathers fell from the sky, and an owl that was too fat suddenly landed on Qiao Xiu's shoulder.

"Damn it! I will catch you one day and stew the soup!"

The source of the shouting was the ‘retired’ judge, Cheriel.

The young lady of the Judgmenter, who looked extremely young, was holding a silver-white kitchen knife in her hand and shouting angrily at the owl on Qiao Xiu's shoulder.

The fat owl used the sound of "Gugugugu" to ridicule the Miss Judg who was not as good as before.

"What's wrong?"

Qiao Xiu looked up and down at the dress of the Miss Judge. She was wearing an apron and looked like she was preparing for lunch.

"The owl named Kaishu ate my fish again!"

Cheryl waved the kitchen knife in his hand, making Joshua suspicious that the Miss Judgmentist was unhappy and would throw the kitchen knife in his hand towards the owl standing on Joshua's shoulder.

The owl made a gurgling sound again, waving its wings and flew directly into the upper floors of the Mage Tower.

"If it weren't forbidden by the gray man, that fat pigeon...what the owl won't live long!"

Cheryl wiped the kitchen knife with his fingertips.

Qiao Xiu never doubted the combat effectiveness of this former judge, but unfortunately, in this mage tower class, the owl belongs to the ‘noble’ class, and the two judges who live here belong to the category of civilians or lower-level maids.

The Gray Clothing Man is famous for raising owls throughout Nolan. When Joshu climbed the Mage Tower, he could see a bunch of owls standing on the beams every few steps.

If the Gray-clothed Man had not set up some barrier on the first floor, it would have been a mess on the first floor of the Mage Tower, which is the part where Cheriel lives.

"Is that why you want to move out?"

Qiao Xiu glanced around the mage tower. The vicinity had been cleaned up by Cheriel, but there was no 'private space'.

Both the beds used for sleeping and the desks used for personal use are placed in the lobby on the first floor.

The Gray Clothed Man's Mage Tower can indeed effectively resist the invasion of the enemy, but the living conditions may be a little worse than ordinary hotels.

"Every morning I feel like I'm staring at by a group of owls," said Cheriel.

"Is that true?"

Qiao Xiu asked them to temporarily live in the Mage Tower of the Gray Clothing to prevent attacks from heretic judges.

But the judges during this period seemed to have learned their lessons, and Qiao Xiu hadn't met those guys for a long time.

Even if Nolan's teleportation node is turned on this time and connected to the Holy Cult Kingdom, he did not encounter any Holy Cult Army coming to trouble Qiao Xiu.

"Do you remember what I told you last time?" Qiao Xiu visited the Mage Tower today not only to find the gray-clothed man, but also to find Sheriel.

"Are you talking about... turning that diary into a real book?"

Sheriel serialized "The Diary of the Heresy Judgment" on Magic Network purely out of interest. At first, she never thought of making money with her diary.

But even she herself did not expect that after coming to Nolan, this book became her only source of income.

"I guessed it right." Qiao Xiu said.

"But will anyone really be willing to spend money on my diary?"

She is still self-aware of how poor her diary is.

Sheriel, who was born ordinary, has not had a good talent in writing. At the beginning, the diary also used extremely simple language to describe some daily events.

She has been in the Grayclothed Master's Tower for so long and has tried to read several books in the Mage Tower to improve her literary skills.

No matter if you take out any of the books in the surrounding bookshelf, the author's writing skills are better than Cheryl.

So when it was uploaded to the Budd Library, Cheryl never expected that the diary she wrote casually would be so popular.

"As the most replies to the library in the real world, I think your readers should be happy to buy a physical collection."

Qiao Xiu took out two contracts and handed them to the Miss Judge in front of him.

She took the two contracts handed over by Qiao Xiu, one with her name written on it and the other with Denisa's name written on it.

Cheryl browsed the contents of the contract briefly, and the regulations above are very common commercial terms.

"Why... the signature is the Royal Library of Fallosi?" Cheriel raised her head in confusion and pointed to the column of the contractor at the end. She thought that Qiao Xiu had bought the copyright of her diary.

"Because the King of Fallosi is also your loyal reader." Joseph gave a message that made Cheriel stunned for about three seconds.

The title of King of Fallosi, Cheriel may only be seen on the highest level of the wanted order in the Inquisition!

"Did that king read Denisa's book, too?" Cheriel asked tentatively.

"Uh... the nun's book is a little bit special. It was published in my name. I signed it and I just pinched a Hearthstone library."

If Qiao Xiu remembers correctly, this world has turned books into "commodities" institution, which is located in major libraries in the world.

Each library has its own unique collection and books for sale.

"How is it? Are you willing to accept it?" Qiao Xiu asked.

"What if it can't be sold?"

Cheriel still has no confidence in the materialization of her diary.

After all, it doesn't cost money to watch Sheriel's diary sharing on the Spellcaster Forum, but if it becomes a paper book, it will cost a certain amount of money to browse the content.

"If you can't sell it, it's very simple, and you'll starve to death on the street." Qiao Xiu smiled and made a joke that made the Miss Judge tremble: "Of course, this is just an example. Please believe your readers, Miss Cheryl, those words are the result of your hard work. Readers will not be stingy in spending a certain amount of money to support your creation. I will also arrange a signing party for you, simply to meet your readers."

"Sales signing..." Cheriel murmured the word. She was once a judge, always alone, even though Cheriel has not adapted to being exposed to the public now.

There were too many "wrong things" she had done in her life. The smell of blood on her hands was so strong that even Cheryl could not bear it, so Cheryl had to choose to hide behind the scenes and dare not really show up in public.

But no one likes to hide in the darkness. Sheriel subconsciously opened the interface of the Magic Net and took a look at the many comments under her book. Whether she hoped to know the subsequent plot development, or to pay attention to her recent situation, or to hope to see the comments in the next chapter faster, Sheriel has read them carefully one by one.

“I can try it.”
