Sword of Daybreaker

As time gradually entered the Frost Moon, Frostsky gradually rose to the high point of the sky. The cold and long winter days of the northern continent had fallen on the entire empire, from the frozen mountains of the north to the dark mountains of the south, and flourishing business from the west. From the important town to the Changfeng Fortress on the eastern border, it seemed as if the cold wind rushed overnight, the dead leaves fell, and the snowfall in many parts of the country followed.

In that old age, the arrival of the cold winter meant that the hardest days of the year had come, limited food, high cost of keeping out the cold, extremely poor urban and rural facilities...Most of the people had nothing to do in this season. Being able to stay at home, carefully calculating the remaining rations and firewood to wait for the end of the winter, there is no entertainment, let alone outdoor recreation in the winter, which is the privilege of the upper class.

But before you know it, such memories belong to the last era.

Firme stood on the edge of the square in front of the Magic Shadow Theater, dressed in thick winter clothes, watching the crowds gradually gathering, and his low-key dress made it difficult for him to be as brilliant as "the founder of the Magic Shadow Theater" in the first place. Reminiscent of his identity, on the streets after the snow in winter, he looked more like an ordinary young man who happened to stop here, watching the posters and promotional projections of the new drama.

This is the first Magic Shadow Theater in the world, and it belongs to him. His father was a famous playwright in the capital, and he still had his own theater troupe. But even so, his father never owned a theater that belonged to him. His own theater, this has always been the biggest regret in his heart.

Firme himself never thought that his father's lifelong wish would eventually be realized in him in this form.

He took a breath in the cold wind and watched the theater staff busy at the door with a smile, watching the audience enter the ticketing area and the gate of the waiting area in an orderly manner. Ferm liked this feeling, even now He is no longer what he used to be. He is also used to changing into plain clothes on the days when each new drama is released, hiding in a low-key place near the theater with a good view, just watching the crowd flock to the gate. .

This means that his hard work has been recognized, and this is his untiring pastime.

The cold winter wind cannot stop the enthusiasm of the citizens. The day when the new drama is released is always the busiest moment in this block. When the change of seasons is no longer a restriction of daily life, cultural entertainment will become a natural appeal of the people. In this era, "Magic Movie" is the well-deserved "King of Entertainment" in the Cecil Empire.

A crowd of people passed by Firme, and whispered conversations came from passers-by in the wind. They were discussing the new drama that was just released.

"Unexpectedly, Mr. Firm's new play turned out to be this...mythological theme. I thought it would be the same as before. It will be a war movie with big scenes or a feature film about pioneering people...Although the mythological theme seems to be quite interesting. "

"The name of the new play is "The Lord of All Laws". It is said that it is about the story of the goddess of magic and the loyal saints... and it also talks about the fall of the goddess..."

"Seriously, can this theme really be made into a magical movie? This is not the kind of "mythical story" made up by bards, the goddess of magic...that is a **** that really existed, I A friend of my grandfather’s neighbor’s uncle is even a believer in the goddess of magic...Is this kind of drama really not a taboo?"

"I don’t think it’s okay. I was still an apprentice of magic at the beginning, and I chanted several prayers with my teacher. Drag and watch the third time..."

"Have you watched it twice?!" The first passerby couldn't help but looked at his partner in surprise, "Then...you give a comment? Don't talk about the plot, do you think this drama is good or not..."

"How could the play that Mr. Firm personally supervised isn't good?" The "former goddess of magic pan-believers" who had already watched it twice and was about to watch the third time raised his head, and then his expression was a little bit embarrassing and nervous. "And to be honest, I think Miss Milmina in the play...I mean the actor who plays the goddess Milmina is actually pretty good. I watched it twice to see her..."

Hearing this, the person next to him immediately exclaimed, half joking and half earnestly: "...you dare to think about it as a god!"

"I'm talking about an actor who plays the goddess Mirmina... And it's a crazy idea to praise the goddess for being beautiful. Isn't this a normal word of praise? When you usually pray to the gods, why don't you first praise for a long time..."

"...Can you understand it this way?"

The conversation of passers-by gradually faded away, and the fine chats and laughter soon disappeared in more and more noisy voices, but Firme's eyes fell thoughtfully on the small group of people. The young people on the body did not retract until they were in the crowd, and then his sight gradually moved up, and the huge poster hanging in front of the Magic Shadow Theater and the holographic projection floating in the air came into his eyes little by little.

On the propaganda screen of the first officer, a figure wearing a mysterious veil and a dark dress floats in the background like a mist, and the eyes filled with mystery and grace seem to overlook the world in the depths of the cloud and mist. The saints temporarily added by the screenwriter are arranged under the illusion of the goddess of magic, and sacred objects that have never existed in history are dotted at the bottom of the screen, and huge artistic characters are shining in the screen.

"The Ruler of All Laws" is jointly produced by the Imperial Propaganda Department, Theocracy Council, and Firm Films. It is adapted from real historical data to reveal the unknown side of the gods to the world.

Below this line of big characters there is a line of small characters: "The Gods of the Earth" series is the first work of the series.

Firm squinted his eyes a little, and a smile appeared on his face.

…

At the same time, in the far south of the continent, in the Fairy Palace of the Silver Empire, the Silver Queen Bersetia Morningstar was sitting quietly in a comfortable seat. The drink on hand had not been finished, but the French fries could not be eaten. Half of the time, the Mowang terminal in front of me was scrolling through the list of thanks for the Moying drama, and the expression on the queen's face was a little bit dull and stunned.

The expressions on the faces of the maids who were watching the movie next to her were also a little dazed.

After being sluggish like this for an unknown amount of time, Bersetia couldn't help but mutter to herself: "They did it... they could really do it..."

She raised her head and looked at the Monet terminal, which was still broadcasting subtitles, but she couldn't help but think of the scenes that she saw just now. How the gods are condensed and formed in the strong will of the believers, and how the gods are in the trend of thought. In response to prayer, the divine power is lowered, the gods’ care for the world, the world’s dependence on the gods, and in this gentle and eternal relationship, how little the invisible chain is, the innocent ends gradually stretched to the limit...until In the end, the goddess of magic chose to fall in order to resist a fictional "magic disaster" in the play, but before falling, handed over the future of the entire world to all living beings, returning her authority to mortals...

Throughout the show, the image of "Mirmina, the goddess of magic" is portrayed in a positive perspective from beginning to end, and the "eight saints" who symbolize the various stages of thought of the mortal community are also portrayed in the same positive perspective. Even the most demanding goddess believers suddenly jumped out, unable to criticize the show’s description of the "goddess" from the perspectives of character praise, role positioning, and emotional inclinations, or accuse the drama of slandering and defaming the gods in the plot. vilify.

They even have to admit that in terms of gratitude and praise to the goddess, the "truth and truth" revealed by this play even surpassed those empty and rigid prayers.

Ordinary believers will at most keenly feel the faint sense of incongruity after watching this play, and feel the "wrong" that is contrary to common sense but cannot be said.

Belsetia knows what this feeling is about. She knows too well that she and her family have spent three thousand years to eliminate the influence of the **** of nature on the elven society, and used countless tactics and wrists to control the empire." "Mysticism" spread. As the heir to the world’s oldest "priest family", Bersetia herself is a knowledgeable theologian, but she is also the most ungodly person against God in this world. In Domination, she smells a familiar smell.

The act of rebellion and blasphemy is hidden in the bones of this drama. It penetrates from the beginning to the end. It does not need to distort and discredit the gods. Its greatest rebellion is trying to explain the existence of gods.

It faintly gave the audience a theory. This theory tells everyone that there are reasons for the birth of gods, and with the support of this theory, it pushes a vivid "goddess" with joy, anger, sorrow, and joy to the front of the stage. .

It is trying to remove the mystery of the gods and concealing this intention with a lot of praise and positive comments, which minimizes the potential resistance of the believers in the audience, but once the audience gradually accepts what the show conveys The way of thinking, accepting this "God is also active" point of view and taking this aspect of thinking as a habit, the ideological mapping based on the deep cognition of "God is unpredictable" is also unconsciously The elimination is exhausted.

Praise and respect for a real individual has never been the cause of the birth of a god. It is the blind faith that is free from thinking and the awe of the imaginary goal. In this respect, Gawain Cecil has obviously come to the front of everyone again.

Of course, Bersetia is also very clear that it is not only that she can see the "true intentions" behind this play. Although ordinary people will be unconsciously affected by this thing without realizing it, those who are as perennial as her The clergy who delve into theology and know how to guide and cultivate believers can easily see the problem. They are experts in this area.

After all, no matter how clever the methods of Gawain Cecil and Mr. Firm are, there are always smart people in the world who can see the truth, and those who can make a difference in theology will not be fools. .

But this is not a big problem because Gawain Cecil has already established the theocracy council. On the basis of the alliance order, he established the theological authority under the new order with political authority in advance, especially after the end of the Wasteland War. Today, when the alliance’s will is highly cohesive and Cecil’s order is dazzling, the "theocracy council" running on the basis of the alliance framework has the highest power of interpretation in the field of theology.

Bersetia couldn't help laughing. She suddenly thought that those who were not smart enough would be influenced by the things that Gawain Cecil had tinkered with. Those who were a little smarter but less talkative, and priests. There is no ability to influence the real public opinion, and those priests who are truly clever and able to see the situation and the truth...

Their names have actually appeared, and they are now being broadcast on the Mowang terminal. They are the advisory group sent by the Theocracy Council on this film and television drama project.

"Ah, there is still a tidbit!"

The voice of the maid, Elaine, suddenly came from the side, interrupting Bersetia’s thoughts. She saw that the cast and credit list on the Monet terminal was finally played to the end, and the behind-the-scenes screens during the production of the movie Appearing in the holographic projection, this is also Elaine's favorite part.

In the tidbits, the tall and beautiful "Miss Miermina" who "played" the goddess of magic made the wrong line. Several supporting actors next to them looked embarrassed. Miss Mina" said apologetically and helplessly: "How come these eight names are so hard to remember?"

"I also think the names of these eight saints are hard to remember," another maid whispered next to him, "but...does it turn out that professional actors sometimes can't remember the names of their characters?"

Belcetia smiled and said softly as if talking to herself: "Probably because the actor is not professional."

…

The release of the new drama "Masters of All Laws" has caused an upsurge as expected, not only because of the consistent high-quality production standards produced by Firm Films, but also because of the special and novel themes of this "mythological documentary" and the Sill's official publicity for the show spared no effort.

In this cold winter day earlier than in previous years, the new magic movie has become a hot spot for countless people for a while, even the goddess of magic has watched it six times.

In the rebellious courtyard illuminated by the brilliance of golden oak trees, the goddess of magic, Mirmina, is sitting next to the magic net terminal and the neural connector. She has just withdrawn from the immersion connection with the neural network, and there is an unconcealable smile on the corner of her mouth.

This scene did not escape Ammon's eyes.

"Seriously... you are not embarrassed by watching what you are acting?" The holy white giant deer has a weird tone. "I heard that many'actors' have this kind of embarrassment when they watch what they are acting for the first time. You can watch it six times in a row..."

"It's the seventh time, I just finished reading the seventh time," Milmina said casually, her face filled with calmness, "What's so embarrassing about me, how natural I played, haven't you noticed the evaluation on the neural network? Most people think that the most impressive character in the new drama is the role of'Milmina'..."

"That's because they didn't expect the production team to find a lady over two meters to play Mirmina. In fact, if Firm found a mountain giant to play you, the audience would still be impressed."

"You are jealous," Milmina squinted at the other person. "You should read more messages on the Internet. Someone else confessed to the role of'Milmina'..."

Amone thought for a while: "...that's really admirable."

Milmina: "..."
