After the two elven girls left, William asked incredulously, "Harvey, are you serious?" ”

"Which point?"

"Let the elves be the actors of the phantoms."

Harvey said in a strange tone: "Half serious and half joking, the main thing is that I didn't expect them to agree so easily, is the elf's situation so bad?" ”

William, who was about to drink champagne, put down his wine glass, shook his head after thinking for a while, and replied: "I can imagine a little, although I don't know the number of elves living in the Farr Forest now, it is conservatively estimated that there will not be more than a thousand, and the recent development of the kingdom is constantly oppressing their living space. Elves aren't a race that hates showmanship, and most elves earn money as bards when they're wandering or out training, but that's hundreds of years ago, and you know better than me as a spellcaster. ”

"Their strength is not weak, it should be no problem to negotiate terms with the royal family, but the royal family is very short of manpower now."

"From what I know, elves would rather be with humans than accept humans."

"I mean coercion by force."

William sneered: "If you can do it, you won't be elves, and in the long run, the disadvantages of force and coercion are even greater, and their longevity gives them a more long-term vision, of course, in our opinion, it is far too much, and it becomes stupid and stubborn." ”

Isabella and Isabelle leave the Cromwell Chamber of Commerce and return to the hotel where they stayed, where the automatism that silenced Isabelle's voice was lifted.

Isabelli excitedly asked, "Isabella, you're crazy!" Why agree to that kind of person's request? Even if you like him, at least keep the reserve and rationality that an elf should have! ”

Isabella sighed lightly: "It is because I have maintained my reserve and rationality that I will consider the suggestion made by Mr. Adrian, you should know what the purchasing power of hundreds of thousands of balun pounds is in the kingdom of Barun." ”

"Even if that's it..."

"Isabelle, haven't you found out yet? The Elders agreed to the purpose of bringing us to the human nation for training. ”

Isabelli rose up and grumbled in displeasure, "Didn't you unilaterally want to come and see that hateful human spellcaster, Adrian? The elders have always been so partial to you. ”

"If only that were the case." Isabella muttered quietly, her face turning solemn: "The spring water of the Well of the Moon is close to drying up, and in less than ten years, the aether magic contained in the leylines of the Farr Forest will be completely destroyed, and we must find a suitable place to settle before that." ”

Hearing the Well of the Moon, Isabelle's delicate body trembled, and she exclaimed in disbelief: "How could it be... If the Well of the Moon dries up, won't Catherine and the others be able to grow? ”

The Well of the Moon is one of the most important facilities of the elves, which can transform the power of ether magic and leylines into moon dew, which is a precious material in the Magic Association, known as a natural potion that has the magical effect of healing physical injuries and nourishing the spirit.

Moondew is the equivalent of mother's milk to elves, and immature elves who do not drink moondew regularly are prone to problems, especially now that the aether element is gradually thinning, young elves rely on moondew even more.

"Don't worry, the location of the new Well of the Moon has been decided."

Isabelli vaguely guessed something, and her little face was very unsightly: "Something to do with humans?" ”

"Isabelle, do you remember Kaisius?"

"Cassius... Kaisius, the one who left the Farr Forest a hundred years ago? ”

Isabella sighed faintly: "Yes, now he holds a more important position in the Magic Association, and has persuaded the upper echelons of the Magic Association to lend us the leyline magic used by the Magic Association branch, the location is not far from the Magic Association, and most of the costs are borne by Kaisius, even so, it is a burden for the elves to live in the human city, either lose the well of the moon, or we adapt to the environment." ”

The vast and luxurious manor house takes about ten minutes to walk from the fence gate, and the road is paved with neat tiles, so that even the carriage can drive on it without feeling a bump. The gardens on both sides of the road are well kept, and the grass has been carefully trimmed by the workers and planted with new bouquets, green grass and red flowers, full of fresh breath.

The most commendable thing about the manor is a luxurious complex mansion, similar to a modern bungalow, with a total of four floors, and the interior decoration is full of classical beauty, elegant and atmospheric.

When Harvey arrived, Shirley was already directing the workers to put the finishing touches on the mansion, Harvey didn't have many requirements for the residence, and the Mage's Tower was in another space, so he didn't have to worry about the lack of space. On the first day he moved here, Harvey first spared the entire manor, planting gems in different places to build magic circles and enchantments.

Looking at the spacious courtyard covered with green grass, Harvey also sighed infinitely: "It's not a good thing if the area is too large, the effort to arrange the magic array is more than ten times more than the original house, and it will take months or even years to build a mage station." ”

"Hmm~ this place, it would be perfect if you built a swimming pool here."

The next day, Diana and Shirley were busy tidying up the housekeeping, moving the furniture brought from the city of Elroy to the mansion, Diana requisitioned, and it was effortless to move things, so that the workers who moved the furniture were dumbfounded, they were originally ready to move the solid wood furniture that only a few people could lift to the fourth floor, but Diana used heavy silver water to easily move two pieces of solid wood furniture up, and the strong visual impact made the workers wonder if the furniture was velvet filled.

Diana was a perfectionist and could toss around a piece of furniture for an entire morning.

Harvey's side finally arranged the framework of the magic array, and began to realize his second idea, the heavy silver water was requisitioned by Diana, so he simply cast a spell to prepare to "dig" a large swimming pool in the back hall, the weather is approaching summer, and Lily's little guy still likes to play with water very much although he has transformed into a human being, and he has to toss a lot of time every time he takes a bath.

Harvey stood in the backyard, his eyes flashing blue light to estimate the area of the swimming pool he wanted to build: "About fifteen square meters is fine, anyway, the backyard is big, and you have to buy some building materials." ”

An invisible force separates the earth, like ice and snow baked by flames, and quickly "digs" a large pit as it melts.

In less than half an hour, the fifteen-square-meter swimming pool project was halfway through, and the big pit was square, and the incision was strangely smooth, as if it was "imprinted" on the ground with a huge square of metal.

"Master, what are you doing?" I don't know when, Shirley, who changed into a classical maid's long dress, came to the edge of the big pit, squatted down against the white skirt, and her eyes behind the rimless glasses showed a look of curiosity.

"Make a swimming pool."

"Swimming pool?"

"Well, it looks like I'll need to get you a swimsuit as well." Harvey smiled, swimming was not uncommon in this era, and even developed into the beach, but women's swimsuits were not as fancy as modern ones, and most of the women's swimsuits were like lengthened and thickened versions of profane clothes, covering most of the skin, and it was very inconvenient to move after being stained with water.

"Swimsuit?" Shirley felt unfamiliar with this term, and chuckled softly at Harvey, "I'm looking forward to it, but the master should come up first, Mr. Brenda is coming and is already waiting in the living room." ”

"Mr. Brenda?" Harvey was stunned for a moment and remembered who Mr. Brenda was, Maxwell Brenda, the director of the Brenda Theater Troupe, who had basically not met him since the end of filming, and heard that the Brenda Theater Troupe had been performing and developing in Norton.

Shirley pulled Harvey up with all her might, and even though her Rou Yi looked weak, it was actually transformed by demonic attributes, and it wasn't a problem to knock down a brick wall with one punch.

Shirley helped Harvey straighten the collar and hair of his shirt and nodded in satisfaction to make sure there was nothing wrong with it.

Coming to the unfurnished living room, the furniture was draped in white cloth, Harvey saw the familiar middle-aged uncle, with a thin face, handsome and a sense of maturity that had been through the vicissitudes of life, and there was only a lot more masculinity than Harvey. Seeing Harvey come in, Maxwell stood up and greeted him, shook hands with Harvey and smiled, "Mr. Adrian, long time no see." ”

"Originally, I wanted to invite a friend from Norton over for a dinner party after a while, but I didn't expect you to come first."

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Maxwell's face: "Looks like I'm bothering you." ”

"That's not all, if I have an acquaintance to say hello, I feel much more at ease moving to this unfamiliar city."

The two of them exchanged polite conversations and talked about family and past events, and Maxwell explained his purpose with a bitter face: "Mr. Adrian, I am very happy to hear that you are coming to settle in Norton, and in addition to the surprise of meeting my old friend, I also hope to have your help." ”

"Please, if you can, I'll help." Harvey smiled.

Maxwell glanced at Harvey and sighed embarrassedly: "I was very satisfied with getting your favor last time, but it seems that I don't seem to have the ability to become the director you are talking about, since the shooting, the Brenda Theater Troupe has launched several Phantoms, which were indeed very popular at first, but with the popularity of Phantoms, the Brenda Theater Troupe began to decline, and now it can only barely rely on performing dramas to survive, hey." ”

The Brenda Theatre Troupe seized the opportunity in the phantom market, with Harvey's trained actors and a professional photographer Kenneth Randolph, which should have been a perfect start, but Maxwell underestimated the fierce competition in the phantom market, speaking of which, this is also a credit to Harvey, a few months ago, the Brenda Theatre Troupe and Phantom Film and Television Entertainment reached a cooperation to shoot an adaptation of the classical Phantom, after some vigorous publicity, Maxwell is looking forward to waiting for the grand occasion of the release, However, there is news of the release of Harvey's new Phantom in the city of Elroy.

Maxwell recounted the current plight of the Brenda Theatre Company, and he approached Harvey this time to work with Harvey to make another similar phantom.

"I see, I'll be happy to help you in that case, so how about I contact you again in a while, I'll have to think about the script of the new phantom." Harvey nodded happily, anyway, Harvey hasn't been very busy lately, just enough to shoot new phantoms to earn points on the attribute panel, and the Brenda Theater Troupe is mutually beneficial, Harvey can take most of the income as a director and producer, and the Brenda Theater Troupe needs to maintain its reputation.

Hearing this, the gloom on Maxwell's face was swept away, and he stood up and shook hands with Harvey excitedly: "Thank you very much, then I'll go back and wait for your news." ”

······

A new phantom? What is good to shoot?

Harvey had thought about this question as early as the completion of the Phantom shooting, and at that time he couldn't pay attention between the two Phantoms.

The first is that this is an immortal inspirational classic in the history of American cinema, which almost won the 1995 Oske Award after its release, and tells the story of a banker who is unjustly imprisoned but does not give up hope, and still yearns for freedom in the face of a rotten and dirty environment.

Harvey couldn't find any fault with this movie, and the reason why he hesitated was because of the various meanings and crashes, regardless of the subject matter or the plot and the deep meaning of the plot.

The other one is much less famous than that, the reason is that the age of this movie is too old, this movie has received the recommendation of US President Truman, the title of the movie, the style and form of the story are similar to most modern family films, similar examples, there are.

Despite the differences in subject matter, the connotation of the film is to express the importance of life and family, in it, the male protagonist is a kind old man, but God never seems to have noticed him, although he has been enthusiastic to help others but in exchange for bad luck, one day because he accidentally lost the money he needed urgently, the only way he thought of in a hurry was to commit suicide.

When the hero was about to commit suicide, he saw someone take the lead and brave the cold to save the suicide, and the suicide man said that he was an angel sent by God to fulfill his wishes.

Of course, the actor didn't believe it, and said in the conversation that he hoped that he had never come to this world and had not encountered these unfortunate things.

The angel fulfilled the hero's wish, and when the hero returned to the town and saw a town that did not exist for him, he saw many tragedies caused by his non-existence and failure to help other people, and then he understood that his life was not meaningless at all, and when the hero couldn't accept these facts and shouted to send him back to that world, everything returned to normal.

Seeing the town that does not exist for him, the actor understands the meaning of life, even if he is still fearless in the face of difficulties, when he goes back to the town, although the lost money has not been found, the townspeople who have been helped by the hero have generously donated enough money for the actor to use for emergencies.

In terms of subject matter and deep meaning, this movie is not very good in modern movies, but its delicate plot shows the beauty of trivial life, giving it a completely different meaning and touch.
