Chapter 456: Cooperation
"That's right, you understand. ”
Cromwell didn't hide it in the slightest, he directly stated his purpose-
It turned out that after Cromwell incarnated as a headless horseman, it was uncertain when his consciousness would be awake and when he would be asleep.
However, in addition to the natural wakefulness state, some special circumstances may also trigger their own vigilance rules to force them to wake up.
- just like the resurrection of Alexis before.
And because of his title of "Lord Protector", he may also be awakened as the guardian of Britain when the British mainland is threatened by some magical powers.
This is not only the power given to him by the human heart, but also the price to pay, or responsibility, to obtain it.
However, the scope of this responsibility to protect is very vague.
For example, out of this responsibility, he was awakened as a Headless Horseman to submit to the fire dragon born in the Great Fire of London in 1666.
- However, the fire was not needed, and it was impossible for him to extinguish it.
In World War II, half of London was bombed into ruins by German planes, and Cromwell fell asleep without knowing it.
- Of course, even if he hadn't been asleep, the power of the spell wouldn't have been able to stop the plane and the V2 rocket.
It can be said that only those objects of fear, which have been given mystique by the hearts of the people of the British Isles, have the possibility of awakening Cromwell.
Like Jack the Ripper.
"I was woken up, after Jack the Ripper sent George Lusco's letter 'From Hell' to the Whitechapel Vigilance Committee. ”
Cromwell explained,
"I found out 6 of Jack's real murder locations, and I was very fast. ”
"However, Jack was not found!"
He then appeared several times, under the guise of another killer. ”
"It's a pity that I never caught him......"
Cromwell's tone was full of chagrin as he recounted.
Apparently, he was unhappy that he was the most powerful goblin in the British Isles, but he was never able to catch Jack the Ripper.
And this is also the reason why he took the initiative to reveal the news to Charlotte after Jack the Ripper reappeared.
- He hopes for Charlotte's help.
Cromwell has always felt that the reason why he can't catch Jack the Ripper, in addition to the fact that he needs to sleep from time to time, the biggest factor is that he doesn't have the other party's cunning and no other party's mastery of spells.
- Of course, this is relative.
And in the last confrontation, since Charlotte was able to successfully resurrect Alexis under his interference, it means that the other party is also more cunning than him.
and proficient in spells.
In Cromwell's opinion, Charlotte's level of cunning and spell should be about the same as that of Jack the Ripper.
Then, fighting poison with poison has become a good option.
In particular, now Jack the Ripper has a crush on the dragon Charlotte brought - which means that Charlotte can only help herself as long as she doesn't want to be taken away by him.
- Cromwell had a sense of luck that the time had come to go and the plan had passed.
And yet—
"Oliver, will you play a role in my movie?"
- Charlotte made a special request......
Emma Watson didn't know these troubles.
As a young actor who is less than ten years old, she only knows that since director Charlotte returned from the United States, the filming speed of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" has been fast again.
This made Emma a little excited, but also a little dissatisfied.
As for what her father muttered about the Ripper Jack parody and the like, she didn't care much about it.
- For Emma, who is now just over eight years old, death is not a very understandable thing.
Even if she's smart.
All she knew was that there had been a lot fewer reporters outside the studio lately, and it was said that they were all going to report on Jack the Ripper.
It made Emma's life a lot easier, and she even felt a little grateful to the guy named "Jack" for it.
"Speaking of which, why is this guy called Jack too?"
Emma, who went to the cinema with her dad to watch "Titanic", thinks that there must be a lot of people called "Jack" in this world......
However, no matter what Emma thinks, the filming of the movie is going on normally.
Soon, the Gryffindor trio was filmed breaking through the level to guard the Philosopher's Stone.
In this part of the content, there are a lot of special effects requirements -
After all, whether it's the three-headed dog of hell, the devil's net, or the keys flying all over the sky, as well as those huge chess pieces that move, they all need special effects.
- The difference is just between using computer effects and Charlotte's spell effects.
In this regard, Charlotte has its own way of dealing with it.
However, at the last minute, when Harry Potter confronts Professor Quirrell, who is possessed by Voldemort, his approach to filming changes.
Under normal circumstances, such a thing as showing his face on the back of Professor Quirrell's head must be solved by special effects, but this time Charlotte got a special helper -
"Oliver, just attach yourself to him and guide him to read the lines!"
In her mind's eye, Charlotte instructed Cromwell, who he had dragged to help.
- That's right, the character he invited Cromwell to play was none other than Voldemort.
In a way, Cromwell was indeed very suitable for the role - as the "protector" of England, he was far more famous than "a man whose name cannot be mentioned".
Therefore, to a large extent, Cromwell only needs to act in his true colors, at most exude some terrifying aura of being a headless horseman, which is enough to achieve the effect.
Although the effect may be too much better -
"Daniel, don't be afraid, we're just acting!"
Charlotte had to pause filming several times to encourage Daniel Radcliffe, who was scared like a quail.
- This Harry Potter actor doesn't have the guts of the real Harry Potter. Faced with the momentum that Cromwell instinctively exuded, he NG several times in a row.
In fact, not only Daniel, but also others on the set were amazed by the amazing aura of "Professor Quirrell".
"Charlotte, you're not an ordinary ghost this time, are you?"
Through Charlotte's specially spelled camera, Addison Young was able to see Cromwell attached to "Professor Quirrell".
He always felt that the momentum of this new ghost was like a real big boss, and it was not at all comparable to the so-called powerful aura among the actors.
He was curious about this.
Charlotte, on the other hand, whispered Cromwell's name in his ear.
Addison Young's eyes widened suddenly.
"You're so good at being able to invite such a ghost!"
Mr. Cinematographer had to smile wryly and express his admiration to Mr. Director.
