Chapter 157: Chapter 157 – Noiseless Room

Time passed. Soon, it was night.

“Be careful of those glasses!”

In the Wooden Pine Cone Emporium next to the Hearthstone Tavern.

The original store owner moved out from the commercial street a week ago. Using the attack of money, Mrs. Melina managed to purchase the emporium and began the work on expanding the Hearthstone Tavern.

The first floor was practically finished. The entire tavern's size has expanded by close to two-fold. The amount of arcanotech devices that customers could use had also increased to one hundred and twenty machines.

But, as the customers of the Hearthstone Tavern stopped being only dwarves, the Hearthstone Tavern started showing signs of congestion during the day too.

Because of this, Mrs. Melina realized that if they wanted to continue to operate the Hearthstone Tavern to full capacity, expanding to only the emporium next door would be far from enough.

She would also have to take over the jewelry store next to the Hearthstone Tavern. Right now, Mrs. Melina was ordering the carpenters she hired on how to remodel the second floor.

The first floor's renovation was extremely simple. They merely need to smash the walls and carve a couple 'reinforcement' rune inscriptions onto the pillars. Then, they will renovate the walls and the ground using the same sort of materials in the Hearthstone Tavern.

But, Joshua had a specific request on how to renovate the second floor. He wanted it to be 'soundproof.'

“I've troubled everyone.”

The carpenters hired by Mrs. Melina had finished the final bit of decoration. When they left, the room was filled with the smell of wood shavings.

Mrs. Melina thought about getting some people to bring over some aromas to disperse the wood smell that filled the air. But, at that moment, Joshua pushed open the newly installed door and entered the Hearthstone Tavern's new 'soundproof room.'

......

“Mister Joshua, everything's ready now.”

Mrs. Melina took a glance around the entire second floor. Apart from the staircase to the third floor, the most eye-catching thing on the second floor was a room with an enormous transparent glass.

The glass was composed of a sort of transparent originium crystal. Permanent 'solidification' and 'obstruction' inscription runes were carved onto the glass.

“This place will be where Tylene will live in the future?”

Ciri took a glance at the new region. As it was only just finished, this place appeared quite monotonous. It was different from Joshua's various studies and studies that had multiple paintings done by Ciri placed all over the walls.

“Tylene's room is upstairs. This place would be considered as her studio, her workshop. You all can also call it the 'Noiseless Room.'

Joshua decided to replace 'recording studio' with a relatively fantasy-like term. With this, it would be easier for Ciri and Tylene to accept it.

As Mrs. Melina had finished supervising the work, she returned to the first floor tavern. She had completely handed over the management of this newly established 'recording studio' to Joshua.

“You all can come on in. Oh, Tylene, when you're here in the future, you must make sure to let out the World Tree.”

Joshua pushed open the door to the glass room. There was a desk and four benches here. Sitting in this place, one will be able to completely rid the noise coming from the tavern on the first floor below.

Unfortunately, this world does not possess a convenient ventilation system. The air inside the 'recording studio' does not flow at all. Moreover, this place occupied only an area roughly thirty square meters.

If three people were to stay in such a tiny place like this for too long, then, when using the terms of this world to describe things, 'the oxygen spirits maintaining life will be completely consumed and one will suffocate to death.'

“Regarding that… Lord World Tree has been unwilling to remain dormant in my body.”

Tylene pointed to the World Tree seedling lying on her head. Ever since the World Tree escaped from its weakened state and began growing, it became much more active than before.

To others, it might appear like the frost elf had a seedling growing from her head…

“Once it takes root, it will likely not be able to run everywhere either.”

Joshua walked over to the desk beside the Noiseless Room and sat down. Tylene sat across from Joshua. In order to not disturb Tylene, Ciri decided to sit next to Joshua.

“All being said, the task of most importance right now is to gather nourishment for the World Tree.”

The magic network's system interface appeared before Joshua. He tapped into the Voice of Norland.

The Voice of Norland's interface was similar to the earliest music softwares. It only had a title caption located at the top, a volume adjustment and the number of people currently listening to the radio.

Currently, there were only three people listening to the radio. That number would jump between three and ten. It would appear that some of the people who had just logged into the magic network had coincidentally tapped into this application. But, after they saw the 'Temporarily No Program' headline, they left.

“Before we officially begin, let us have a rehearsal. Tylene, you can pretend the World Tree to be an originium crystal inscribed with a 'voice amplification' rune…”

Joshua pushed to Tylene lines he wrote.

At this time, the World Tree rolled down from Tylene's head and landed on the desk. Tylene read the content of the lines and adjusted her breathing.

“Welcome to the Voice of Norland… Umm…”

Tylene stuttered the moment she finished saying the first line. Without professional training and knowing only how to sing, Tylene needed time to get used to broadcasting.

“One more time.”

At this time, Joshua logged into the Mage Forum and activated the post he made four hours ago.

This post was stickied to all the sub-forums. It reads, 'The Voice of Norland will open tonight. Everyone is welcomed to enjoy the radio.'

The content of the post was mainly to promote Tylene's first broadcast. Joshua did not bother to arrange much content for the frost elf's first broadcast. He merely had her use her singing voice to sing two hours worth of elven epic.

The hypnosis effect of the elven epic has been validated by the dwarves.

At the beginning, there weren't a lot of responses to the stickied post. But, ever since a wild Black Swan replied to the post, over a hundred more people replied.

Soon, the time Joshua was promoting arrived. At this moment, Gallolei updated her own camp too. Belle's camp was also updated at the same time.

'In the past, when I listen to Miss Frost Elf's singing, I will occasionally fall asleep. This time, I'm able to listen while lying on my bed.'

Gallolei's update even ended with a dwarf giving a thumbs up. There were already over a hundred replies to her camp update.

Gradually, the amount of listeners on the Voice of Norland increased from single digits to tens and then hundreds. In the end, it had over three hundred listeners. They were all quietly waiting for the frost elf's singing.

“Are you ready?” Joshua was prepared to open up the broadcast channel for the Voice of Norland. The medium for this broadcast was the World Tree.

Tylene nodded. With that, Joshua changed the headline for the Voice of Norland to 'Frost Elf Miss Tylene will sing an elven epic.'

“Welcome to the Voice of Norland!”

Tylene said those words to the World Tree. Her voice was changed into information runes by the World Tree. Quietly, people were able to hear her voice from every corner of Norland.
