Chapter Twenty-Five: Act II
The plot in the village was filmed smoothly, but Qiao Xiu had a small problem when he played Gaston to confess to Belle.
With Ino's character, no matter what Qiao Xiu asked, she didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction at all, but reality is reality, and acting is acting.
Qiao Xiu did a long time of ideological work for Ino before the succubus rejected his confession.
This is also the only part of the whole shoot that NG a few times, and the rest is very smooth and the shot is done in one go.
The next plot is the real part of "Beauty and the Devil".
The target has come out of the village and is expected to arrive at the location of the portal in an hour, so Zenath is prepared not to let the target find any trace of the portal. ’
Joshua sent a message to Zenas through the chat window he had created, and Belle's 'mother' Marina had already gotten into the carriage to say goodbye to Belle, preparing to go to Nolan, the magical capital of the small village, a dozen kilometers away.
The only inscription in Zenas' possession popped up on the window, telling Josiu that he had received the news.
Qiao Xiu also clenched his left hand engraved with the seal, and began to concentrate on controlling the actions of the banshees, this mark could not only control the undead creatures, but also allow Qiao Xiu to share his senses with them.
Here Qiao Xiu only shared the vision of the banshees, and the perspective transformation of the twelve banshees was enough to toss the patient with 3D vertigo to lie in bed for ten days and half a month, but fortunately, Qiao Xiu did not have this disease.
In the vision of a banshee, Qiao Xiu saw a carriage hurrying through the snow-covered forest.
………………
Marina tugged at the cloak she was draping on, this year's snow season had come unusually early, and by the time she was out the door, there was already a little snow falling from the sky.
This does not bode well, and if the snow increases these days, the road to Nolan from that small village will be blocked.
In order to get Belle into her new home as soon as possible, Marlena has to hurry to Nolan.
Her eagerness kept urging her servant and the old horse.
The snow on the road gradually began to increase, and suddenly, Marlena had a feeling of palpitations.
She pulled down the hood on her head slightly and looked around.
The forest was still a forest, the snow was still snowy, but Marlena always felt that the atmosphere around her had become a little strange.
It's too much... It's quiet, and although Marlena is old, her mind is not dull.
The forest was suddenly a little too quiet, and a few unknown bird calls could be heard just now, but at this moment it seemed as if all the animals living in the forest had disappeared.
The snowflakes in the sky are becoming denser and denser, and it won't be long before a blizzard arrives.
Castle? As Marlena pondered where to escape the blizzard, an ancient and stately building came into her view.
It wasn't the first time she had traveled back and forth on the road to Nolan, but she had never seen such a majestic castle in her memory.
Could it have been built by some great magician?
The snow falling from the sky did not have time for Marlena to think so much, and she sent her servants towards the castle, hoping that the owner of the castle would mercifully let her stay for the night.
The carriage entered the somewhat gloomy castle gardens, and Marlena stepped out of the carriage and motioned for her servants to take it to the castle stables.
She packed her bags and stepped up the steps to the castle gates.
Before Marlena could knock, the castle gate slowly opened.
"Thanks—" Marlena walked through the door, thinking that some of the castle attendants had spotted her, but when she looked behind the castle door, she saw that it was empty.
This surprised Marina, but she was a businesswoman who had seen the world, and magicians usually had all kinds of strange abilities, so she closed the castle door out of politeness.
"Anyone?"
Marlena asked aloud, her voice echoing through the empty castle, and the atmosphere and light in the entire castle seemed a little dim.
"Anyone? Sorry to bother you... I'm a traveler and just want to come in and escape a blizzard. ”
Marlena shouted again, but still no one answered her.
But in the darkness there were countless pairs of eyes staring at the uninvited human, including two ghosts.
"The Duke actually allowed a human to enter his territory, and if it had been before, this human would have been eaten by my relatives on the outskirts of the Twilight Forest......
"Shut up Hua Luo, the Duke has formed an alliance with His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Royal Highness's order is the will of the Duke, and His Royal Highness specially let the two of us participate... What's that......"
"Movie, Faulk." Another sneaky voice reminded him.
"Yes, the filming of the movie is already a great honor, don't you complain, have you memorized your lines? The banshees floated over, and what was the first line? ”
The candlestick on the table opened his eyes, knocked on the alarm clock next to him, and whispered.
"He must have gotten lost in the forest."
"Shut your mouth."
The whispers in the darkness caught Marina's attention instantly, and she looked towards the place where the sound had come from, but saw no one except a candlestick and an alarm clock on the same table.
"Excuse me, anyone?" Marina walked slowly to the table, her eyes quickly drawn to the two delicate candlesticks and alarm clock on the table, and she picked up one of them and examined it.
As a merchant, she could see the value of these two things at first sight, but she didn't dare to steal anything, this place was too weird.
She put down the gilded candlestick, looked around, and soon found the only place in the dimly lit hall where the fire was emanating.
"I'm just looking for a place to get warm!"
Marlena said loudly, hoping someone would hear, and she followed the firelight to a room with a fireplace.
The warmth of the fireplace was enough to delight Marina, and she walked briskly to the fireplace, the heat of the flames quickly dispelling the cold of the blizzard.
Then Marlena heard the sound of chopsticks coming from the next room, and Marlena followed the sound to the room and found that dinner was already on the table.
It's like it was deliberately prepared for her.
"Thank you very much—" Marina looked around, and although she didn't know where the people in the castle had gone, she sat down and began to enjoy the hard-won dinner due to hunger.
But before he could take a few bites, the teacup on the table suddenly moved on its own.
Marlena looked at the teacup in astonishment, and then she suddenly realized that there seemed to be a human face on it.
"Mom said I shouldn't move, it might scare you."
The teacup said to Marina in a childish voice.
Marina's brain was shut down for two or three seconds, no wonder there was not a single living person in this castle at all, because the castle itself was alive, and it didn't need a living person to take care of it at all.
"I'm sorry." The teacup said to Marina in a very sincere voice.
"No... Never mind. ”
Marlena tried her best to stay calm, but... Could it be that all the living people in this castle have been turned into furniture? This castle is under some kind of curse?
Soon, all kinds of fearful thoughts filled Marina's heart, and she resolutely chose to escape from this ghost place.
