Chapter 51: Canonization!
Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 "I think there's something wrong with this, in the Middle Ages, even a king or a top nobleman would never hold a scepter with their right hand when they're outside! Why? Because it would prevent them from quickly drawing their weapons for a possible attack, no, not only humans, but also those terrible beasts......"
What happened in the club may only be a small episode and spice in life for Leo and Brad, and after that day, the two of them tacitly agreed not to communicate about related matters, and no one will pay too much attention to whether Vladimir's compensation will be paid, or what the consequences will be for those Koreans
Leo, who made several cameo appearances, accompanied the crew all the way, and during this time he lived so fully and happily that by chance, he surprised the director and others with his knowledge of the Middle Ages, so that he had no role to play and could only continue to play a role like a guide or technical support
After correcting the mistake of the king's actor, Leo, who was fully engaged in his new job, took one last look around before filming began, and finally he frowned, and his eyes stopped at the knight actor who was calming the horses with the help of the horse trainer
It was the eve of the filming of the final World War I, for which the crew even used helicopters for aerial filming, and the number of group performers exceeded 200 for the first time, which made the town in the western wilderness seem a little crowded and noisy
However, Flawless pays attention to others, and a very incongruous feeling in the actor's body constantly fills Leo's heart, dragging his cheeks and thinking for a while, he clapped his hands and suddenly realized what was wrong
"Hey! Director...... Frank! ”
shouted several times, and the director, who was nervously communicating with the leading actor Brad, turned his head, nodded first, and then whispered a few words before the two walked side by side
"Well, my knight, what did you find wrong, damn it, every time you call me, I am happy mixed with fear, the expectation of future success and the choice of increasing costs now is a torture for me!"
Perhaps accustomed to similar complaints, Leo smiled and didn't answer at all, he pointed directly at those knights and war horses and said
"Look at their armor directors, I admit that Hollywood prop masters are some of the best people in the world, but they made a big mistake in armor styling!"
“…… Don't sell it man, I don't see what's wrong, beautiful, powerful, what's wrong with these? ”
Brad looked at it seriously for a moment, then shrugged his shoulders inexplicably, and subconsciously held down the hilt of the sword, after studying swords with Leo for a week, at this moment, judging from the shelf alone, there were already some shadows of knights
"Of course, I also just found out, you see their breastplate, from the chest and abdomen to the position of the skirt armor, our prop master probably wanted to pursue beauty too much, and made a raised angular arc, and also used a sharp inverted triangle shape underneath......"
Licking his lips, seeing that the two still didn't understand, Leo shook his head helplessly
"This is a terrible thing on the battlefield, guys, more than seventy percent of the knight's strength comes from their war horses, and this armor will make the war horse extremely uncomfortable, and it is probably not a big problem to walk on weekdays, but if you really charge or maneuver quickly, the neck and back of the war horse will continue to rise and fall when running and rubbing against that useless shape, do you dare to imagine how terrible the consequences of a horse suddenly stopping because of pain when charging on the battlefield, or running aimlessly on a war horse?"
……
The other two looked at each other speechless for a while, and after a long time, the director glared at Leo with complicated eyes, shook the storyboard script in his hand, and shouted while walking towards the prop master and the group performer
"Let's stop preparing, the shooting time is delayed, the props, costumes, and other damn departments come with me to the car for a meeting, I think we're in a big trouble......"
Looking at the back of the director who left angrily, Brad hooked Leo's shoulder and said with a grin
"You've managed to make our dear Frank tragic again, man, but how do I feel like he's still happy to do it when he knows it's going to be like this?"
"Brad, Frank is a serious and persistent person, it's not good for you to say that, this movie belongs not only to them but also to yourself, isn't it your dream to be a knight? Maybe you still want to be a laughing stock on the big screen? ”
Brad spread his hands and said helplessly
"Well, you're always right, man, sometimes I find that I really can't see who you really are, you have more medieval knowledge than even the old experts, and there are so many tiny details that give the illusion that you've personally touched and experienced them, damn it, I thought, you can't really be a descendant of some aristocracy in Europe that has been handed down to this day, right?"
Sitting in the shade, Leo didn't speak for an unusually long time, and it took a long time for some empty eyes to regain his vitality, and he let out a long mouthful of turbid breath in his chest, he turned his head and smiled at Brad, who didn't find anything and was still chattering, and took out a gold coin from his pocket and flicked it to the other party
"I told you I was a nobleman, Brad, if ...... I mean, if you really want to, I can canonize you as a real knight! ”
He hurriedly took the gold coin, and before he could take a closer look, Brad was scorched by Leo's next words, and subconsciously he reached out to touch Leo's forehead
“…… I don't have a fever and talk nonsense, damn it, I really don't know you in person sometimes, and I still like the way you look on the screen in comparison! ”
With a wave of his hand to block the other man's arm, Leo opened his mouth with a smile
"Alright! All right! Hey, praise be to God, this is the real gold coin, and that avatar on it is you? Dude has to say it's a fun gimmick, and I'm going to have someone make it for me when the shoot is over, it's a great idea! ”
After playing with the gold coins in his hand, Brad raised his head but was stunned to find that he had recently come into contact with a friend who had not been in contact with him for a long time, and at this time, his face was filled with countless gloom and affection for the first time
Slowly putting away his smile and taking a few steps closer to Leo, he hesitated for a moment and asked in a deep voice
"I read a certain familiarity in your face, my parents gave me this feeling when I was very young, are you leaving, Leo? I thought we had become friends......"
"Yes Brad, we are friends, I have lived a very full and happy life during this time, I used to think that I could just come back and then leave alone, there was a famous saying in that ancient country in the East, 'There is no feast in the world', and the same is true among friends!"
"For a long time? Damn, I've talked to a couple of friends about you before, and even that stubborn guy from Frank thinks you can do well in Hollywood, and I regret it from the bottom of my heart, man......"
Stretching out into the warm sun, Leo suddenly smiled and patted Brad on the shoulder
"Without further ado, maybe one day, maybe soon, maybe a long time later, you will suddenly see me again suddenly, then, my friend, will you accept my kindness in canonizing you as a knight before I leave? I have to tell you very seriously that there are very few people who get this opportunity."
The beautifully crafted gold coin in his hand flipped back and forth between his fingers, and he slowly raised his head, and the corners of Brad's mouth brought a relieved smile
"Why not, my friend, I'll keep this gold coin safe, because he will always remind me of a mysterious and friendly friend! Okay, while Frank isn't here, tell me how the ritual should go? ”
……
A few minutes later, Brad, dressed in full armor and holding the hilt of his sword, knelt down on one knee, holding his helmet in one hand and bowing his handsome face deeply, Leo stood quietly in front of him, and if he didn't look at the trailers and modern machinery around him, a strange but distant atmosphere was now hanging over the two of them
Since it was a temporary canonization, it was impossible for Brad to know the knight's oath in the ceremony, so Leo directly passed through the system and pulled out a paladin sword out of thin air in the other party's shocked expression
The thick, icy spine of the sword rested lightly on Brad's right shoulder, and Leo's voice was joyful and gentle
"Brad Pitt, are you willing to be a true knight, willing to live by the virtues of humility, integrity, mercy, valor, justice, sacrifice, honor, soul, willing to defend with your life to protect the weak, to fight against wrongs, and to swear to fight for the defenseless, to protect those who come to you for help, not to hurt any woman, and to be sincere to your friends?"
As if infected by the heaviness of his oath, Brad put away his cynicism and replied in a voice that was extremely cautious and sincere
"Yes, I will, I swear to follow all the virtues of a knight, to defend justice and dignity, to fight against evil, and to protect the weak, even if it costs with my life!"
Nodding imperceptibly, Leo tapped his sword on his shoulder three times before continuing
"I feel your sincerity, my friend, and hereby in the name of the Grand Duke of Storm, Brad Pitt, you have been given the status of a true knight, and from now on, you can legally carry weapons and keep your armor, and even the gods cannot impose punishment on you without violating the law and the knight's creed, and now, you can get up, this canonization has nothing to do with allegiance, but I am exercising the right to belong to the nobility, this is a compliment to a man of high moral character!"
After Brad got up a little dazedly, after thinking about it, Leo inserted the paladin's sword in his hand back into the scabbard and handed it to him with both hands
"Believe me, my friend, that I have this right, and that I feel the goodness of my heart in you, and that this weapon is my parting gift to a truly noble knight and my best friend in the future, and to treat it well, but I do not want you to use it one day, for there is no one who envies and expects peace more than I do!"
Chaotic took the long sword, Brad looked at Leo deeply for a long time, and finally shook his head, he didn't ask about the magic of the long sword that appeared out of thin air before, nor did he ask what Leo was hiding, but before Leo turned to leave, he said in an inaudible voice
"I'll remember it all, my friend!"
