I'm shooting anime in another world

Liya, who knew that the Imperial Knight Commander would follow the Imperial General to the southern border in the next few days, showed a confused expression, and the hair on his head jumped. Not knowing who issued the assembly call, he immediately took up his weapon and rushed to the training ground. Then, a familiar face appeared in front of her.

"Uh, Knight Commander? And General? How come you are back so soon?"

In response to Liya's confusion, a certain Knight Commander just showed a helpless expression, and stepped aside to let General Wilhelm speak first.

Although the confused Liya wanted to ask about the situation, she knew that she had to abide by the discipline when the two superiors came back. She returned to the team as soon as possible and gathered the knights who heard the assembly call and rushed over while wearing pants.

Soon, seeing that all the members of the Knights had gathered at the training ground, General Wilhelm nodded and slowly walked forward.

Just as the knights present were curious about what amazing event the most powerful and prestigious general in the history of the empire was going to announce here, some people gradually whispered.

"What do you think the general is gathering us for?"

"I don't know, but I remember that the general went to the southern border some time ago because of the relationship between the empire and the orc kingdom? From this look, is it possible that the war is really about to begin?"

"Really? Is it finally time for me to make achievements?"

"No, I heard that those orcs are born with special powers. Even the swordsman of the human race can hardly get any benefits from a fully armed orc warrior. Instead of making achievements, you should first consider whether you can survive the war..."

All kinds of whispers spread all over the training ground.

In response, Wilhelm, who still had a calm expression, just stood still on the high platform in front of the training ground. Then, facing the expectant and slightly fearful eyes of the knights, he silently said: "I know you are all elite knights of the empire, and you have the courage to sacrifice your lives for the empire, so..."

"Is it coming?" "War?!" "Orc Kingdom?" "Make achievements!" "Return home and get married!!" "After making achievements, return home and get married!"

When Wilhelm's words came out, the knights present had already prepared for what would happen next. All the possibilities of life have changed, and some are even thinking about how to return home after becoming a general after making great achievements...

In response, General Wilhelm, who had a slightly stiff expression, coughed twice and slowly said while trying to ensure that his words were as clear as possible: "Are there any of you who are good at acting?"

"......"

"???!"

The knights who had never expected that General Wilhelm's words would not only be roundabout, but also make a U-turn drift were stunned at this moment.

Chapter 74 The Selection of Kiritsugu Emiya

Chapter 74

When Liya led a group of knights carefully selected by General Wilhelm to the South Border Teleportation Array, she was still a little at a loss as to what happened. After all, ordinary soldiers were not qualified to use large teleportation arrays, but General Wilhelm seemed very anxious at the moment, so she had to hold back her curiosity and silently followed the entourage to the South Border where Liya had never been.

"Why did the general call us here? And he even opened the large teleportation array for us?!"

A handsome knight who was good at using two guns asked the indifferent Liya. Liya knew that the other party wanted to get close to her. After all, with her appearance, it was natural for her to be admired by people around her in the military. Of course, Liya never thought about this. For her, dedicating the rest of her life to the battlefield was what she wanted.

Therefore, without any unnecessary emotions, facing the words of the spearman, Leah just replied indifferently: "I don't know, but since it is the general's request, it must be an urgent matter."

"Eh? Urgent?"

The knight thought about it and proposed a possibility: "I have heard that there are traces of headless knights and liches in the southern border. Could it be that we are called here to deal with these dangerous undead?"

"Undead?!"

All of a sudden, even Leah seemed to be in a hurry. After all, she was born in the northern border and knew the dangers of the terrifying existence of the undead. But she was not really afraid of the undead's ability, but was excited that she finally had the opportunity to establish military merits for the empire.

In recent years, due to the powerful deterrent force formed by the increasing number of great sages in the empire, the number of wars between the empire and its neighboring countries has become less and less. So nowadays, the empire's army is used for deterrence at best, but a group of idlers at worst. Even Knight Commander Wycliffe was promoted not for his merits on the battlefield, but because he cleared the monsters on the main transportation routes in the four borders of the empire.

In this case, not only Liya, but most of the members of the Imperial Knights actually felt a sense of grievance that they wanted to make achievements on the battlefield but could not succeed. After all, those who can join the Knights are the best in the Imperial Army. The existence of elites can only be used as flower vases at the moment without any actual constructive role. This is indeed a cruel thing for this group of young people who entered the army because they want to become famous.

Therefore, when they learned that they might be going to defeat the terrifying undead, most people, including Liya, suddenly became excited, and there was a hint of expectation in their hearts.

Soon, as the light of the teleportation array gradually fell, when this large group of knights arrived in Nosric in batches, the sky had already dimmed.

In this regard, realizing that he had wasted too much time, General Wilhelm quickly gathered everyone together, and then walked towards the busiest building in Northric in the distance. In less than a while, They arrived at the scene, in Edward's Tavern opposite Nosric.

"Oh, isn't this Wilhelm? Are you back so soon?"

As the door of the tavern slowly opened, the Headless Horseman greeted General Wilhelm valiantly, and the latter nodded and said: "Yes, I specifically used the authority of the general to open the large teleportation array, so Du Where is Director Lin?”

"Oh, he's upstairs. He's been auditioning all day, and he seems quite satisfied."

"That's good."

Soon, as the Headless Horseman turned around and left again, except for the three generals, General Wilhelm, who knew the inside story, the other knights suddenly exploded at this moment!

"No...immortal?!!!"

"Headless Horseman?!!"

"OMG......"

"The general was greeting the headless horseman just now, wasn't he? Am I really not dazzled?"

"..."

At this moment, a large group of knights could not believe what was happening in front of them. For them, what just happened was even more unbelievable than seeing Teletubbies and aliens drinking tea and chatting together.

Similarly, General Wilhelm couldn't help but feel a little dizzy. After all, because he was in such a hurry, he suddenly found that he had forgotten how to explain things about the undead to these guys.

"Performance, General, the headless horseman just now was actually just a performance, right?!" In this embarrassing scene, Liya took the lead in saying: "This is what you are calling us, General. The reason for asking if we will perform before coming, isn’t it?”

Unexpectedly, the girl who was single-handedly promoted by Knight Wycliffe would immediately find a good excuse for herself. Wilhelm nodded quickly and said: "No...that's right, the headless girl just now The knights are just pretending, so don’t worry, I’m calling you here because I hope you can participate in a performance on behalf of our army.”

Suddenly, a lot of commotion calmed down. At the same time, General Wilhelm also slightly remembered the girl named Liya. But Liya didn't know that her instinctive deduction made her succeed in the heart of the imperial general. Got a good impression.

.......

Edward Studios, second floor.

Seeing that the man in front of him had already memorized his lines, Du Lin smiled and said, "I have already written your lines on that piece of paper. Please start."

After hearing his words, the man standing far away slowly adjusted his expression and said:

"What is this? So twisted? So dirty? Is this really the child of Kotomine Rimasa? Hahahaha, impossible, no way! What is this? Did my father actually give birth to a dog? Hahahaha. Ha ha......"

In just a few minutes of performance, the auditioned actors perfectly played the chaotic intertwining of good and evil, good and evil temperament of Kotomine Kirei.

Compared with other stage actors, the performance of the members of the Snow Flower Troupe can be said to be worlds apart. It is no wonder that even Barnier praised this troupe.

"Okay, you've passed, but remember to have a more cheerful expression when you act in the future. Uh, I don't know what happiness is? In short, just smile a little more disgustingly."

Hearing Du Lin's words, the actor playing Kirei Kotomine was a little at a loss, but after understanding that he had been selected, he nodded slightly and turned around to leave. In this way, he could not see the villain's style when he was just acting. , he himself does seem to have a rather aloof character, which makes people feel how terrible the existence of acting is.

On the other side, looking at the fully written cast list, Du Lin couldn't help but sigh that the Snow Flower Troupe is indeed the top powerful stage theater troupe in the South. While each member has very strong individual acting skills, the team is absolutely amazing. Most of them are men, which is completely different from other theater troupes that have many female protagonists and very artificial acting skills. It can be said that they fully meet the requirements of the movie Dulin wants to make.

Of course, even in such a stage play troupe, not everyone is a natural film performer. Some actors who cannot abandon the traditional performance style of stage plays cannot be allowed to pass no matter how kind Dulin is. And those actors After being disappointed, the actors who failed to pass naturally went to Chase, the manager of their troupe, to vent their dissatisfaction.

"That director doesn't understand what acting is, Mr. Chase. You know I've performed countless times in the troupe, and I've performed all over the South. But that director doesn't understand what emotional catharsis is, and he doesn't even recognize my singing voice that you praised back then!"

For the former rising star of the troupe in front of him, Chase just silently took the script of the character named Emiya Kiritsugu chosen by the other party, and then said: "Have you read the story script distributed before your performance?"

"Story script? What's the point? With my strength, I can perfectly restore the role even without reading the script, not to mention that I have performed countless scripts, even Mr. Chase's script I can perfectly control!"

Seeing the young man's arrogant and confident words, Chase just helplessly took out the "Fate" that Durin had just distributed to everyone. Zero》, and then said: "Since you haven't read it, there is nothing to say. I know you have a great talent in stage plays, but unfortunately, the era now is called movies."

"Uh, Mr. Chase?"

"If you want to stay here, finish reading this thing first."

The young man didn't expect the other party to say such a thing. He showed a surprised expression and he also looked very disdainful.

After all, as he said just now, he thought he was a very good stage actor, so even if it was the words of the theater manager, he didn't think he had any need to listen, or he didn't think that the theater manager was a person worthy of respect for a long time. After all, if it weren't for Chase's unique approach, the status of Snow Flower in the stage play world should have been higher.

In this regard, seeing that the young man he had been optimistic about did not have the idea of ​​challenging again, Chase sighed slightly, and then after handing the "Fate Zero" script in his hand to the other party, he slowly took the character script named Emiya Kiritsugu from the other party.

On the other side, the young man couldn't help showing a surprised expression. After all, the man in front of him, who had always served the troupe silently and had never performed on stage, actually walked towards the audition team at this moment.

"Can I try?"

Following Chase's words, all the members of Snow Flower present showed surprised expressions. After all, everyone knew that Chase was just the manager and scriptwriter of the troupe and had never performed in any drama.

But what did he say just now? Does this manager also want to perform?

All of a sudden, all kinds of discussions sounded in the room, and a lovely woman with beautiful silver hair on the side looked at the man in the distance who had not shown such an expression for a long time, and slowly raised the corners of her mouth.

In response, Du Lin, who had long wanted the troupe manager to try a role, smiled and nodded, and waved his hand and said, "Of course, let's start."

Chez was going to perform the last scene in "Fate Zero", after the Holy Grail War, the dying Emiya Kiritsugu talked with his adopted son under the moonlight.

Of course, since the story script given by Du Lin only had the first chapter, most of the subsequent plots needed to be filled in by the performers themselves, which was the same for all the actors present, and this was also the reason why some actors were too lazy to read the story script.

As the manager of the troupe, Chez, who had been watching the actors' performances, naturally knew this, so at the first time, he even directly covered the lines in the role script and started the performance in a fully engaged state.

"... When I was very young, I once dreamed of becoming a righteous partner."

As soon as the voice came out, there was a sudden silence on the scene. At the same time, the actors who originally wanted to see the manager laugh at this moment had expressions of disbelief on their faces, and Chez's performance continued.

"Well, it's a bit regrettable. Being a hero is also limited in time. Once you become an adult, it will be difficult to achieve. I wish I had realized this earlier."

......

"Yeah, it's really helpless."

......

"Yeah, ah ah - I can rest assured now."

......

Although there are few lines in this section, anyone who knows about movies knows that this performance is actually a test of acting skills such as facial expressions and body language, and Chase's performance can be described as perfect.

At this moment, he seemed to be a person who had really experienced great storms, various traumas, and finally returned to silence. It was as if he had really turned into an idealist who once pursued an illusory and impossible goal and finally fell on the road of pursuit.

Therefore, after Chase's performance, everyone in the room applauded him, especially the silver-haired beauty who had been staring at Chase from the beginning. While she was applauding, tears even appeared in her eyes.

"Great performance, Mr. Chase. I thought you were just the manager of this troupe, but I didn't expect you to have the acting skills to be qualified for this position. I even feel that you are more suitable for performing on stage than some actors in your troupe."

Hearing Du Lin's praise, Chase didn't say anything. He just asked silently: "Did I pass?"

"Of course, congratulations on passing. Then, please take a rest."

Durin also seemed very happy when he said this. After all, his vision was not wrong. The manager of the Snow Flower Theater did have the talent for performance. Although he didn't know why he was willing to work behind the scenes of the theater instead of performing on stage, at least at the moment, he had indeed become the candidate for Emiya Kiritsugu who met Durin's requirements.

When Chase returned to his original position, the young man who had just complained about this and that was now holding the script that Chase had just given him and reading it.

From his changing expression, it was obvious that he had been completely attracted by this extraordinary and imaginative story called "Fate Zero".

Chapter 75 The Reply of the Orc Prophet

Chapter 75

When General Wilhelm returned to the imperial capital to find someone because of Durin's request, Juno, the orc spy who had been secretly following him, received a reply from the Orc Kingdom on the night after watching the new movie "Goblin Slayer".

Looking at the owl perched on the windowsill, Juno's expression changed instantly. She also quickly threw away her many guesses about "Goblin Slayer" and immediately took off the letter box on the owl's feet and opened it.

What came into view was a very unfamiliar handwriting, but because it was unfamiliar, Juno immediately realized who the person who replied was. There was no doubt that it was the only great sage prophet in the Orc Kingdom.

[Black Blade Juno, I am the Kingdom Prophet. After reading your letter this time, I was shocked, so I wrote this reply immediately. ]

[Some things can only be understood by the existence of fellow magicians, so I can't tell you in detail, but I must explain your next action strategy to you as soon as possible. Of course, before that, I need you to know some knowledge that even I don't know very well. ]

[First of all, regarding the "movie" you mentioned, I searched in the Kingdom Library for a day and a night and didn't find any concept close to it. Although this is undoubtedly because humans are far better than us in magic research, I can also guess it based on your description. 】

【The so-called movie should be a magic prop that records certain knowledge and stores some images. Therefore, as you said, everything you see should be a record of what really happened in the human empire, not a performance told to you by other humans. 】

【I think the reason for this is that the humans who created the movie did not want to cause a lot of panic, but just spread it in the form of entertainment. The purpose may be to make money, or for some purpose we cannot know, or even to misunderstand us, the spies of the alien race. Therefore, the so-called movie is not as simple a performance as it seems. This is my judgment after many years of contact with human magicians. 】

【After knowing this concept, let's look back at everything you have observed. An adventurer saw the gods after his death and brought the gods to the mortal world. Although I don't have much knowledge about the gods, a few days ago, when I was observing the stars at night, I found a meteor falling from the sky in the south. ]

[There was once a legend that every star in the sky is the kingdom of a god, so I guess that it might be the product of a certain experiment by human magicians. They might really have mastered some knowledge that our Orc Empire does not know at all, and with this knowledge, they have touched the realm of God]

[Secondly, you said that there is a high-level magician in the movie who can use one burst magic a day. I am worried that humans may create many magicians who can release burst magic by compressing magic power. To be honest, although I am a prophet of the kingdom, my attainments in magic are still far behind those of human magicians. Therefore, we would rather believe it than not believe it. At least in the short term, I have persuaded His Majesty the King not to rashly go to war with the human race. Even if we go to war, we must find out the current strength of human magicians]

[Finally, and the key point, you said that at the end of the movie, an extremely powerful headless knight appeared, and then he was defeated by a group of human adventurers. If this was said by others, I would have laughed it off at most, but since this information is from a Since you, the Kingdom's Dark Blade, provided this information, I must believe the authenticity of this news.]

[The Headless Horseman is an exceptional undead, and a puppet controlled by a terrifying lich. Even in the Human Empire, few people know about this. Our Orc Kingdom once sent a team to the Chaos Realm, during which they encountered the terrifying Headless Horseman. Fortunately, the team was led by the Kingdom's prophet at the time. He was able to escape after using teleportation magic at the first time. Even so, all the other members of the team were not spared, but this precious information was also left in the memory of the prophets of all generations.]

[So, according to what you said, there are only two possibilities I can make. One, it is indeed the real Headless Horseman. It accidentally left the Chaos Realm and came to the Human Kingdom. It fought a shocking battle with humans and finally fell, leaving behind the video material called movie. Two, it is not the real Headless Horseman, but I think this possibility is very small, because even you, as a blood-damaged individual, do not think you can fight it, so the authenticity of the Headless Horseman is beyond doubt.]

[There is no doubt that humans could not have been unscathed in the battle with the Headless Horseman. Even though the movie looks ridiculous and simple, I suspect that it is just a specially processed clip. The real event may have been hidden by those human magicians. If I guess correctly, if the Headless Horseman is not dead, he is probably controlled by human magicians now.]

[After obtaining the existence of this epic undead, what level of strength the human kingdom has reached, even I cannot speculate, but at least one thing is that the human kingdom that can defeat the Headless Horseman must have some terrifying weapons that we cannot understand. If it goes as expected, if our orc kingdom really goes to war with the human empire, such a terrifying weapon will catch us off guard on the battlefield]

[Whether it is the knowledge of the gods, the mass-produced explosion magic, or the powerful group of adventurers, the current level of mankind has probably grown by leaps and bounds. Unfortunately, as a prophet of the kingdom, I can only speculate so far and cannot understand more of the meaning]

[So, Juno, the spy of the Black Blade, for the future of the orc kingdom, you must work hard to find the truth behind the movie that is hidden by human magicians, even if you have to sacrifice yourself for it! Of course, I also know that this is a difficult task, but I have no way to support you. The only thing I can do is to use the prophecy magic to see through the fragments of the future as much as possible, so as to judge what the fate of the Orc Kingdom will be in the future.]

[And I believe that if you can really find the knowledge hidden by human magicians, our Orc Kingdom will have a little more bargaining chips in the war that may break out next.]

[Finally, there is no doubt that the movie has a producer, so I think your best breakthrough is this producer.]

[However, since he can make a magic that I can't understand at all, the producer is undoubtedly a powerful human magician, and there are more likely to be various powerful helpers around him. For this reason, you must try to get close to him without revealing your identity, and you must not have any bad thoughts, otherwise, let alone exploring secrets, even your life will be difficult to guarantee.]

[I hope you can bring new dawn to the Orc Kingdom. ]
