"Experienced and experienced adventurer? And preferably a loner with personality problems?"

Alyssa thought carefully about Durin's question.

It is absolutely easy to find an experienced adventurer in the North. Apart from other things, Alyssa's teammates in the past as adventurers are extremely qualified people. Their rich experience as adventurers is enough to write several books.

But unfortunately, if the requirement of being lonely is added to this rich experience, the number of people who meet the requirements will be greatly reduced. After all, most adventurers act in groups, and few of them act alone without the group. It is really strange that they can develop a lonely personality in such an environment.

Therefore, even Alyssa, the leader of the Northern Adventurers Guild, fell into deep thought about Durin's request. After a while, she said, "I have an idea. If it is him, he will definitely meet your requirements, but... to be honest, it is precisely because he meets the requirements that I feel a little troubled. After all, his personality is indeed very special."

"Special?"

Unexpectedly, even Alyssa would say such a word, which made Durin very interested in the candidate she mentioned. Seeing his look, Alyssa knew that she could not stop him and answered very straightforwardly, "Anyway, I will give you the contact information and location of that person first, and you will know when you get there."

........

It was about noon. After crossing a field outside the city of Winter, a small wooden house standing in the middle of the plain appeared in Durin's eyes. According to Alyssa, the adventurer who met the requirements lived here.

To be honest, in the North, there are often very few people living outside of towns, because there are many monsters in this area. Even villages with a large population are in danger of being invaded by monsters. Just a wooden house built in the wild is almost a death wish.

However, Du Lin, who originally had this idea, immediately erased this idea when he saw the design around the wooden house, because it was obvious that the owner of this house must be a person who is very knowledgeable about monsters. The design of those traps and alarms can almost sound the alarm at the first time when monsters attack. There are also some traps around the wooden house that are not easy to find without careful observation, which can trap small goblins and large trolls.

With his mouth slightly raised, Durin, knowing that he might have found the right place this time, passed through the trap with the wisdom of a wizard and came to the wooden house and knocked on the door. The next moment, accompanied by a burst of orderly footsteps, the door of the room was gradually opened.......

"Don't be like this, I came here after being introduced by Guild President Alyssa. By the way, I am Durin Edward, a magician who is interested in you."

Facing the dagger that sprang out of the gap in the door, although Durin was not afraid, he was still a little surprised by the other party's vigilance. The figure behind the door was also stunned when he heard Guild President Alyssa from his mouth, and opened the door silently after a while.

This is a relatively empty wooden house, with almost no layout inside. A lot of gaps seem to be deliberately designed for easy departure. There are also some slight fragrances, which make people even mistakenly think that this is a girl's room.

In addition to these, the most conspicuous figure in the room was the figure in front of Du Lin. For some reason, the other party always wore a cloak and a mask, and Du Lin had no intention of seeing his true face. But even so, based on the other party's body shape, Du Lin could barely judge that this was a young man under 30 years old.

"What can I do for you, Master Magician?"

Finally, the young man who sat in the middle of the living room asked. His slightly hoarse voice proved that Du Lin's guess was correct. At the same time, he also found that the young man was not the only one in the room.

Yes, in addition to the other party, there were four or five children of different ages in the room, the youngest was five or six years old, and the oldest was fifteen or sixteen years old. These children, both boys and girls, were afraid of strangers and hid behind the young man. At the same time, they all looked at Du Lin carefully, as if asking about his identity.

In this regard, recalling Alyssa's reminder, Du Lin also quickly said: "Saeb, silver-level adventurer, it's you, right?"

"Yes, what's the matter?"

When saying this, the slight color revealed between the gaps in the man's cloak made Du Lin show a surprised expression, and asked: "Are you an undead?"

Yes, what Du Lin saw through the cloak just now was not human skin and pores, but clear blood vessels and flesh. The adventurer recommended by Alyssa in front of him did not seem to be human at least in terms of race.

In response to Du Lin's surprise, the man just said silently and vigilantly: "Why, you were called by Alyssa, but you don't know my situation?"

"No, she did say you are special, but..."

Du Lin, who was stunned in place for a while, thought about it and finally took out the token given to him by Alyssa. He originally wanted to test the other party in person, but from this point of view, it seems that the other party can only explain the current situation for him first.

Soon, after taking the token and examining it, Saeki nodded and said, "Okay, I believe you. Since Guild President Alyssa introduced me here, I will tell you about my situation."

As he spoke, the man who slowly took off his mask revealed a face that could not be called human at all, and said: "I am not a human being, or I used to be a human being, but because of a maze exploration in the past, I Cursed by the lich, my body died on the spot, but the only good thing is that I The soul that was supposed to dissipate possessed the nearby zombies. Although they survived, they became neither human nor ghosts. They could only survive in the wild as monsters, and finally encountered them in the maze. Guildmaster Alyssa trusted me and brought me back to the human world."

"But even so, I couldn't go back to my original home and couldn't live in the town, so after adopting the children of the adventurers who went on the labyrinth exploration with me, I lived alone in this place far away from the town. place, and almost no longer participate in adventurers’ actions.”

After listening to Saeki's words, Du Lin showed a sigh of relief, because the other party's situation was completely contrary to his guess. This was not an undead, but a living dead!

Although the soul still shines brightly, the body loses its temperature first. This state between life and death is very similar to that of zombies, but the difference is that unlike zombies who are irrational, the other party still has his own personality. Consciousness, and does not seem to be affected by the monster's bloodthirsty instinct.

"I see, but it seems that your strength, Saeki, has not declined, but has increased. Why don't you continue to be an adventurer like this?"

Unexpectedly, Du Lin would see through his situation. Saeki was stunned for a moment and said helplessly: "That's right, this zombie body is a blessing in disguise. After breaking through the limitations of the original body with no talent, I jumped I have reached the fourth level of Sword Soul, but even so, I can’t form trustworthy teammates with my appearance, and taking care of these children is more important to me than going on another adventure.”

When Saeki said this, he gently touched the heads of the children behind him. It was obvious that the other children were indeed acting like ordinary people who were tired of their career as adventurers.

But in Dulin's eyes, whether it's the long sword on the opponent's waist that has been polished countless times, as if it can be pulled out to kill the enemy at any time, or the traps based on hunting instincts that can be seen everywhere outside the house, everything can be seen from them. It turns out that this adventurer still hasn't forgotten the desire engraved in the DNA of an adventurer.

So, after thinking for a while, Du Lin slowly took out a bag containing gold coins from his waist and said: "Relax, Adventurer Saeki, I'm here to negotiate a deal with you."

Chapter 48 "Goblin Slayer" Audition

Chapter 48

"I'm going to rent you and your house for a few months. This is a deposit. When things are done, the real price will be at least twenty times what it is here."

Hearing Du Lin's words, Saeki showed a surprised expression, because the number of gold coin bags Du Lin placed on the table was at least about two hundred gold coins. For a silver-level adventurer, it would take at least half a year of exhausting work. Wealth earned.

"Rent me and my house?"

In this regard, before Saeki could make any random guesses, Dulin continued: "Yes, I will make a movie next. For this reason, I want to rent your house as a filming location, and I hope you can star in the movie." "The protagonist."

"??"

Obviously, as a northerner, Saeki was completely unable to understand the meaning of the word movie. Dulin had already expected this, so he quickly added an explanation, which allowed the reclusive adventurer to roughly understand the meaning of the word movie. and actor meaning.

And after understanding...

"Sorry, I can't do that, Mr. Dulin."

Saeki, who refused immediately, glanced hesitantly at the gold coins on the table that were enough for him and his adopted children to live for several years, but in the end he said decisively: "I don't want to get involved in trouble anymore. Today's status may also cause unnecessary trouble, for these children..."

"You should do this for these kids."

Facing Saeki's hesitation, Dulin said calmly after confirming that the other party was not trapped by money: "You haven't been an adventurer for a long time, right? This money should be able to solve your problem well." The debt generated over time will be enough for you to live in the rest of your life after completing my commission. You have no reason to refuse anyway. "

"But I am a monster now, and I will be hunted down by the church once my identity is revealed. If I were gone, the lives of these children would really not be guaranteed."

Seeing the adventurer's confusion, Dulin suddenly asked: "So, what if I have a chance to let you return to human society?"

"??!"

"Relax, Saeki. The situation is not as bad as you think. Your identity has not been exposed yet, so you still have many opportunities to make choices. What is in front of you now is an opportunity. You choose to agree to me. It's up to you to take the money and fight your way back to human society, or to give up this opportunity and go back to a life where these children can only eat black bread and live in fear outside the towns. "

As he talked, Du Lin felt that his ability to deceive was getting better and better recently, and he even suspected that he was not a director but a pyramid scheme leader.

On the other side, faced with Du Lin's deception, Saeki was obviously really taken in. He first looked around at the children behind him and showed a tangled expression.

In response, one of the oldest children, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, smiled and said: "Uncle Saeki, don't worry about us. We actually all know that you have always wanted to live the adventurous life of an adventurer again. Eager to go on adventures, travel across the mountains and rivers of the empire, and become a legend sung by bards, you are like a bird with broken wings or a fish out of water, you are really not like you before. "

"Nora, you..."

I didn't expect that this girl who had always been very well-behaved would say such a thing. While Saeki was stunned, Du Lin in the distance also echoed: "Yes, this child is right, you are the one who becomes an adventurer." That's your wish, isn't it? You should want to hear people call you the mighty legendary adventurer Saeki, instead of hearing 'Hey! Look at that farming Saeki' when people mention you, that's not what you want. , right?”

"...."

Finally, after collecting the bag of gold coins that could be said to have saved his life, Saeki agreed to Du Lin's proposal. After all, if he didn't pay back the money he owed before, he might not even be qualified to live around the town. Du Lin Lin's appearance can be said to have helped him a lot, which was also an important reason why he agreed to Dulin's proposal.

However, at this time, he did not know how much impact the decision he made would have on his life.

.......

In the North, in the Adventurer's Guild in Winter City.

Since the guild leader Alyssa previously issued a notice calling for actors and extras, the adventurers who have passed the first round of auditions are waiting here at this moment, including several new adventurers from the South. , two receptionists from the Adventurer's Guild, and some veteran adventurers from the Northern Adventurer's Guild.

In addition, Daphne and her guards also gathered here because they received the notice.

"Miss, are we really not going back? If we come to the north without saying a word, the Duke will probably be very angry."

Regarding the guard's words, Daphne just said resolutely: "Of course, I finally passed the interview. How can I go back without finishing the movie?! Even if my father finds me personally this time, I won't give up on my own initiative!"

The girl's persistence made it impossible for the guard to say anything to persuade her to give up. In the end, he had to turn his attention to the adventurers in the distance. To be honest, due to the geographical differences, the adventurers in the north and the adventurers in the south were at the same time. Different postures are waiting, and judging from the looks, both sides have completely different expectations for what will happen next.

"I didn't expect us to use the teleportation magic circle this time to shoot a movie in the north! This is the first time in my life that I have used the teleportation magic circle!!"

"Me too, me too, and what kind of movie will be made this time? Is it a sequel to "Blessings for a Better World"? Then do we have a chance to be the protagonists?"

"Haha, you still think too much about the protagonist. You are lucky to be a supporting character participating in the BOSS battle together."

The lively discussion among the new adventurers was clearly heard. Daphne, who had already roughly understood some of the scripts, showed a subtle expression and finally gave up on telling them the truth.

And soon, as the main gathering this time, Guild Master Alyssa and Du Lin, came over at the same time, the warm atmosphere at the scene suddenly dropped.

Facing the expectant, doubtful or timid eyes of everyone at the scene, Du Lin just announced lightly: "Gentlemen and ladies, please be quiet now. Later, under the arrangement of Guild Master Alyssa, I will report to Guild Leader Alyssa. You will be given the performance script and role script for this movie, and you will be asked to audition. Once your role is determined and you have memorized your lines, the filming of this movie will begin!”

Because these people were not regular actors in the first place, Du Lin did not give them several days of preparation time. His requirement was that these actors could roughly perform their true colors with the help of suggestion magic.

Chapter 49 The actors are in place

Chapter 49

Since the DVD version of the Magic Crystal has not yet been designed, the "Goblin Slayer" filmed by Du Lin this time is naturally still a live-action movie, so he made cinematic corrections to the plot almost from beginning to end, deleting After removing some plot points that did not contribute to the plot, the plot was roughly compressed to two hours. Although it is longer than "Blessings for a Better World", it also adapted more of the original work. At least this time he will condense the entire twelve episodes. It's all compressed into this movie.

In order to make the plot barely maintain the length of a movie and maintain the cohesion and compactness of the plot, Dulin also deleted a large number of memories and daily plots, and because this world does not have perfect sewers like the Water City, he He also made some localized adjustments to the plot of Water City. After all, in order to make a movie, he couldn't forcefully build a complete underground facility in this world.

All in all, this script is the final version that Dulin spent a long time revising, and now he is sending this final revised performance script to all the extras present.

There is no doubt about the result. When everyone present took a look at the copied script in their hands, everyone was immediately immersed in the story and couldn't extricate themselves. After all, the first page looked like a bloody reality written on paper. It made them feel that the pores on their backs shrank suddenly, not to mention the continuous stimulation adapted by Du Lin that was almost completely breathless.

Most of the people present had read the biographical adventure novels from the imperial capital, and were almost tired of seeing the protagonist as a powerful adventurer performing chivalrous acts of righteousness and slaying dragons and demons. Therefore, when they saw With such a unique and decisive protagonist, everyone turned the script page by page like a man possessed.

When they saw the last battle and a large group of goblins appeared around the protagonist's house, the adventurers present clenched their fists, feeling in their hearts that goblins were actually very weak monsters in reality. A deep sense of fear.

Because even if you are extremely powerful, what about your family? Even if you become a brave dragon-slayer, how will you feel when you return to the village where you were born and raised, only to find that the village was slaughtered by a group of treacherous imps?

The story of Goblin Slayer is rooted in this kind of viewing experience. The adventurers present, who more or less have dreams of achieving great things, were instantly poured cold water on them, but at the same time, they also felt that they had been I feel lucky to have poured cold water on it.

"Can I keep this play as a family heirloom? I want my son to see this story."

As the first adventurer who finished reading the script made such a joke, the adventurers present gradually got rid of this ups and downs of the anti-mainstream story. The adventurer who just said this sentence was also surrounded by others. The person reminded me, "A movie is being filmed here, and I will watch this story on the big screen in the future." I woke up and felt my face getting hot involuntarily.

The northern adventurer, who didn't know what the movie was, also came to his senses at this time and had a certain impression of the movie.

At this moment, even these adventurers in the North who have no understanding of movies feel their blood boiling at this moment, and are looking forward to the moment when this story can be adapted into a so-called movie.

.......

After everyone read the script, Dulin started training the actors, or adding buffs, and the results were very satisfying to him. Although these adventurers were very rough and not good at slight changes in expressions, they With the help of suggestion magic, they can quickly enter their roles, or in other words, they can quickly express their normal selves.

When they completely forgot that they were acting, these adventurers' interpretation of themselves was even better than the actors in Du Lin's impression.

After the roles were selected, Dulin also found that almost all the actors in the movie had been selected, including elves, dwarves and lizardmen who would join the protagonist team later, because the North has the largest number of adventurers. , because it is a place of the highest quality, even adventurers from non-human races can find it with the efforts of guild leader Alyssa.

Of course, after a careful chat, Dulin found out that the adventurer playing the elf was actually not an elf but a half-elf with human blood, and the adventurer playing the lizardman was naturally not a real lizardman either. They are just mutated demi-humans. After all, the empire's relationship with the orc kingdom has become increasingly tense over the years, so that it has not had a good relationship with all foreign races in recent years. Therefore, except for demi-humans with a certain amount of human blood, There are almost no other alien races in the empire.

And the situation of these demi-humans is not very good. Except for the North, where strength is supreme, they can hardly survive anywhere else. This is also the main reason why Lawrence has always asked the orc girl he adopted to stay at home and not run around. .

At the same time, when Du Lin announced the role she was going to play to Guild President Alyssa, who had always thought that she would not have to perform, a certain president suddenly showed a panicked expression and loudly said: "Director Du Lin, you want me to play the role of the swordsman." The role of the saint? But I’m not suitable for it, and I can’t act..."

In response to the other party's words, Du Lin just smiled and replied: "Do you think any of the people here look like they can act? Anyway, don't think too much. You are the best candidate for the Sword Saint in my mind, both in appearance and temperament." It’s none other than you!”

"But......."

As if she didn’t know how to explain her resentment for playing the role of the Sword Saint, Alyssa froze on the spot for a while and couldn’t hold back a word, while Dulin decided directly: "Alyssa Guild Have you forgotten what you said before about being willing to do anything to make this movie, just to play a role yourself? If you can't do this, I'll be really disappointed in you. ..."

"No, this...good...ok, I'll act, I can act..."

Although he felt in his heart that it was not good to bully people like this, seeing the beautiful guild leader showing such a pitiful expression made Du Lin feel like he was shaking.

Quickly shaking off this bad thought, he turned around and said, "Okay, everyone, please remember the role you are going to play and what you want to say. I look forward to your wonderful performance."

As Du Lin finished speaking, all the actors, including Saeki, who was late due to custom-made armor, patiently read through their scripts and gradually got into their roles.

While Du Lin was getting ready to shoot "Goblin Slayer", "Blessings for a Better World" that had already been played in the South had a new impact.

Chapter 50 Promotion of Southern Movies

Chapter 50

Tanzania City is a city located at the southernmost tip of the southern border. It is said to be a city, but in fact it is no more than an ordinary town. Due to its very remote location, there are almost no businessmen in this town, and naturally there are no Tourists coming and going.

The only road outside Tanzania that leads directly to the distant southern city of Noslik, but even so, people from the two sides rarely interact with each other because Tanzania is a self-sufficient borderland. In a small town, for the people here, as long as they can barely maintain a life of food and clothing, they are very happy. Naturally, they lack the courage to travel between towns.

As for businessmen from other places, because Tanzania is geographically far away and there are no precious local products, they rarely come here.

It is precisely because of this that the residents of Tanzania often cannot keep up with the changes in the world. Even when the royal family of the empire changes, they rely on the descriptions of people who occasionally come to the city after returning, or listen to the merchants who travel between towns. Said.

But in such a small town, today there have been changes that have never happened before.

Doyle is a blacksmith's apprentice in Tanzania. As usual, he helped the old blacksmith in the blacksmith shop today and then rushed home. However, when he was crossing the street, a group of lively people attracted his attention. .

"What's going on? So lively?"

Seeing a familiar painter's apprentice in the crowd, Doyle quickly walked up and asked, "What happened here?"

"Oh, it's Doyle. Look, that's a team from Northric. It's said that there's a magician among them!" The painter's apprentice said with a smile: "I heard they seem to be from some kind of theater troupe. Although I don’t know much about it, it should be something like a stage play, but we don’t have any theaters in Tanzania, where are they going to perform?”

"A stage play?"

With a disappointed expression on his face, Doyle glanced at the figure in the center of the crowd, and finally shook his head helplessly.
