Sword of Daybreaker

In the southern border of Cecil, somewhere in the Dark Mountains, a glow suddenly lit up in an ancient mage tower.

This not-so-bright magical glow slightly dispelled the dimness in the mage tower, making those ancient books, scrolls, and shelves full of magical materials that seemed to be covered in dust in history, shrouded in a layer of light and shadow that seemed to be true and illusory. , And in the interlaced light and shadow, another figure suddenly appeared.

He wore a gloomy magic robe that only classical mages would wear, and his gray hair was draped in an unusual mess behind his head, tired and haggard all over his face, as if he hadn't rested for several years, he held it in his hands and gleamed. The crystal ball came out from a dark corner, slowly pacing between the old and quaint books and wooden shelves, and slowly swept his eyes from the blood of warcraft and magic herbs in the crystal bottle. .

Suddenly, the old mage with a haggard face stopped in front of a shelf, his eyes fixed on a lavender crystal placed on the shelf, that crystal was clearly not connected to any spell array. At this time, a constant blue-violet gleam was released, and mysterious runes continued to emerge from its surface, as if conveying some unknown knowledge and truth.

The expression of astonishment on the old mage's face gradually turned into enthusiasm and joy. He stared at the crystal that was producing the vision, and his lips trembled a few times. Finally, he couldn't help breaking the silence in the mage tower with a low voice: " Goddess of Magic... Your radiance finally guides my path! It has an effect... The crystal is spontaneously charged... In the name of knowledge and truth, may your brilliance last forever!"

And with the old mage’s uncontrollable chanting, a breeze and a low sound suddenly passed in the ancient mage tower, and the surrounding lights and shadows swaying under the magical glow seemed to be stretched out and highlighted. , The figure of the old mage himself turned into a white shimmering silhouette in the dark, and in the darkness behind him, an illusory projection exuding a sacred atmosphere gradually emerged, which was vague. The phantom cast a meaningful glance at the old mage...

"Card! Turn on the lights for this passing prop."

A sound suddenly came from the edge of the dark room, and the "ancient and gloomy" atmosphere in the mage tower was instantly broken by this sound, followed by a few slight beeps when the magic spar lamp was activated, and several bright light sources followed. It illuminates everything here, wooden shelves, paper-shell props, ancient books, scrolls, and various "casting materials" made with props are exposed to the light, and the rough and simple stone walls at the edge of the room are also exposed. When the light and shadow are shaking, all the "walls" have disappeared, revealing the projection crystal underneath and the scenery in the studio further away.

A staff member who was operating the Magic Net terminal not far away stood up and gave the "old mage" in the center of the set a thumbs up. Several people walked out from behind the previous projection curtain wall, including those with faces on their faces. Firme, Eleven, and Fendi with smiling faces. When they came to the "old mage", Eleven stepped forward and patted the latter's arm: "Perfect as always, Mr. Parno, especially at the moment when you look at your last expression. A devout believer."

"Thank you for your praise, Mr. Eleven," said the "Old Mage" a little flattered by the kind attitude of a Marquis, with a smile on his face, while turning off the energy switch of the crystal ball in his hand, said. "But in fact, I think the line just now can be more...'rich'. If it's something like'prayer', I think..."

As soon as Mr. Parno, who played the old mage, was halfway through his words, a nice, slightly magnetic female voice suddenly came from the side and interrupted him: "No need to change, no need to change, I think this is pretty good."

Parno followed the sound and saw an unusually tall lady in a gorgeous black dress standing there with a smile. Even though he had been working together for a while, at this moment he still felt a huge The pressure is coming.

Parno doesn't know the origin of this lady, he only knows that Firme, Eleven and Fendier all respect this "Miss Mina" who is the heroine in the new play.

To be honest, as an old actor who was extremely famous in the old capital, Parno was still a little confused why this "Miss Mina" was so respected by the three gentlemen. Although her performance was natural, but Specific to the "technical level", there is obviously a big gap with the truly skilled actors. She also often made some jaw-dropping remarks about the role of the "Goddess of Magic". However, the three gentlemen not only recognized her. Outrageous views, and even made a lot of changes to the script because of her suggestions...It is difficult to understand, it is really difficult to understand.

By the way... Is this "Miss Mina" really a professional actor? Every time Parno thought of this question, he was very puzzled. He dare not say that he knows actors from all over the country, but such a "stalwart" lady in front of him will be impressive as long as she shows up. If she has actually appeared on the stage, even if her acting skills are not good, her reputation It must have been spread out but Parno had never heard of her name.

However, regardless of the origin of this Miss Mina, since even Mr. Firme recognized this matter, of course Parno would not say much that he respected Mr. Firme, the creator of the "magic drama". Of course, they also respect the other party's "authoritative opinions" in this regard.

"Then come here first this morning," Eleven's voice interrupted Parnollo's divergent thoughts. The son of the Duke of the West had a happy smile on his face, "Mr. Parno, we will shoot directly in the afternoon. In the scenes of "Received Interpretation" and "Shadow", you should take a break and have a bite to eat. You will get familiar with the lines and scripts after you are familiar with. We will discuss with Miss Mina on some of her scenes."

"Okay, Mr. Eleven." Parno smiled, bent slightly to pay his respects, and walked towards the passage leading to the actor's lounge. The other staff on the scene also received instructions and began to leave the scene in order.

The "Ancient Master's Residence" arranged with various sets and props soon quieted down, and in the end only three young people and the unusually tall "Miss Mina" were left.

It wasn't until this time that Firme finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then he glanced at Milmina somewhat cautiously, the smile on her face looked very awkward: "Um... you have worked hard."

"No hard work, no hard work. I showed up for two shots in the morning, and I stood in a daze in the background through a phantom. It was much easier than writing a report to the council," Milmina waved her hand casually. The tone was very easy-going, "It's you, who have been busy these days, and you have to find a way to guide me, a newbie who knows nothing..."

"Ahem, don't you say that," Firme coughed suddenly, "this...this...this is my honor, how can I be qualified to guide you...I'm just a mortal..."

The founder of the young magic movie is somewhat incoherent, but he is not to blame. Who would have thought that such a strange thing would happen in the world? He just accepted the commission of the Theocracy Council to shoot a magical drama with the theme of "Gods". Who knows is just to consult the magic goddess related professional knowledge, and the magic goddess came in person the next day , And said that he wanted to "I play myself", not to mention that when he was awake, he couldn't think of it even last year when Eleven and Fendier joined hands to get down on the ground...

Even now, he has a dreamlike feeling when he thinks of it, but the fact is that when he looks up on the set, he can see this little giant-like beautiful lady dangling in his sight. , I also asked this question and that with curiosity, either studying the equipment dedicated to photography or asking the staff about all kinds of things that are common sense in the eyes of ordinary people. This is probably only a little bit for ordinary people who don’t know about the set. Strange, but for an insider like him... the excitement is too great.

Compared with dealing with this Miss Mina, the shooting of this "Domination of All Laws" has become the easiest job for him here. After all, the most difficult and professional part of the whole film has been directly directed by the "God of the Matter". solved…

"Don't care about mortal issues here, little guy." Milmina saw Firme's embarrassment and couldn't help but said with a smile.

She felt that it was very interesting to live with the old deer in the rebellious courtyard. When she was doing nothing to do, she chased dramas intensively for more than 20 hours a day. Those interesting magical dramas helped her to entertain a lot of boring time, and nearly half of them were magical shadows. The dramas are all made by this young mortal, whose creativity and imagination left a deep impression on her at the time.

And now the talented young man stood in front of her, looking so embarrassed and cramped.

"I hope you didn't feel the chaos and noisy production scene of the magic movie." Firme finally settled down, but he showed a little embarrassment. He glanced at the layouts that were invisible under the light and the holographic projection. The bald background area was closed, and he shook his head helplessly, "Any bright and beautiful stage is so messy behind it, which is probably a little bit different from what you imagine..."

"I don't think so. On the contrary, I think all of this is very interesting," Milmina laughed. "I have seen many magical dramas that you have produced. I'm interested. And I want to talk about behind the glamorous stage..."

The tall lady paused suddenly, then shook her head slightly with a complicated smile: "If you know what lies behind the more glamorous kingdom of God, you won't say that again."

Firme was a little confused for a while. I don’t know why this "goddess" suddenly felt this, but the goddess in front of him obviously didn't intend to continue this topic. He quickly changed the topic when he heard the other party: "Let's not talk about it. So let’s talk about the next filming. The next filming process is'non-linear', right? It seems that we can make some late-stage things first?"

"Ah, yes," Firme nodded immediately. When the topic returned to his professional field, he suddenly seemed a lot more relaxed and natural. "The shooting process of the magic movie is different from the final product the audience sees. Also different from traditional stage performances, we can adjust the shooting sequence of many clips according to the actual situation. According to the plan, we are going to finish the production of the last few scenes first. This is mainly due to the schedule, um...the last few scenes...the last few scenes if…"

Firme had just said a few words fluently and suddenly got a little stuck, and the look of embarrassment and hesitation appeared on his face again.

This time, without waiting for Milmina to speak, Fendier, who was next to him, couldn't help but slammed Ferm's arm with his elbow: "Don't get stuck and go on, what happened to the last few scenes?"

"That's it. The last few scenes are the two episodes of'God's Fall' and'Funeral'..." Ferm looked weird and carefully observed Mirmina's face as he spoke. "The main content is... the goddess. Falling, one is Sa... Sa Na what..."

Then he saw the goddess of magic herself showing a very happy and expectant look: "Oh! Is this the famous scene?"

Firme: "...Huh?"

"Falling and scattering ashes, right, these two are okay," Milmina said with a smile happily, "I have practiced several versions of the scene of the fall in private, and there are various special effects, and I will Let me demonstrate it to you with a phantom first. I will play it again in person if you see which version is better. If you scatter the ashes..."

The "magic goddess" was talking and thinking: "To be honest, the ashes are not easy to act, but I can try..."

"No need to play this!" Seeing that the goddess' thoughts seemed to go to a strange place, Firme finally exclaimed, "We have prepared props!"

"Ah, there are props? That's right..." Milmina showed a stunned look, and then smiled, "Then I understand, I'm responsible for distributing it, right?"

Firme: "..."

The founder of the young magic movie couldn’t help but sigh with emotion: the goddess is really hard to guess, it’s even harder to guess after retirement...

After some discussion, "Miss Mina" finally left with satisfaction, leaving only three young people staring at each other and standing there. The quiet and slightly embarrassing atmosphere lasted for an unknown period of time before Firme's voice finally broke. Silence: "I have to have a drink after I go back..."

"Count me," Eleven exhaled softly, "I felt my heart was being tested several times in between."

Speaking of this, he shook his head, and reluctantly added: "My father will never believe what I'm doing..."

"I don't dare to let my aunt know what I'm doing," Fendier smiled bitterly and spread out his hands. "If I let her know that I finally got approved for a long vacation but put the time on the magic movie. If I don’t go home...she will freeze me on the roof of the castle until the end of the long vacation."

"Is it such an exaggeration?" Firme glanced at his friend in surprise, "I remember that the Duke of Victoria didn't seem to oppose you to do the'Magic Movie' so much. Didn't she watch us together last time..."

"The problem is not in the magic movie, the problem is that I don't go home," Fendier sighed. "She said that she helped me find a good girl. You know me. I have my own intentions in this respect... "

"I don't think the problem is here." Before Fendier finished speaking, Eleven Franklin next to him ruthlessly interrupted him. "The biggest problem is not the last time you communicated with the Duchess of Victoria. It said, "You haven't married out either"?"

Fendier: "..."

Firme took two steps away quietly.

Fendier: "Why are you hiding so far?"

"I think the Duke of Victoria will ride a dragon to kill from the north in the next second," Firme looked serious, "I'm afraid that I will splash myself with blood."

(Ma!)
