Chapter 22: The Revenge of Sainz
The scorching sun finally disappeared at the far end of the horizon, and while darkness enveloped the sky a little bit, it also brought a cool breeze, making the hot Laiwuka City finally much more comfortable than during the day.
Taking advantage of the dark weather and cool climate, the number of people who left their homes to enjoy the cool grew, but unlike the usual people who gathered in the shade not far from their homes, tonight, the people of Laiwuka City all gathered in an open square outside the east gate of the small city, and they all looked like they were waiting for it.
"Hey, Siuni, you're here too. ”
"Of course it's coming, today is the most important third episode, and I can't wait to see if the elf prince dies or not. Linka, did you think he was going to die?"
"Phew, how could he die!
......
"Yo, old man Kodo, don't you stay at home every day and don't want to go out, why are you willing to come all the way here today?"
"Why? Can't I come? Today is the third episode, if I don't come to see it, how do I know what will be said later. Speaking of which...... Ruiz, do you think that General Lokav is too stupid? It's obviously a trap, and you have to take people to drill into it, we humans suffered a lot of losses when we fought with the elves, is it because there are many such fools......
......
"Oh, dear Kardashian, I've been waiting for you for a long time, and you're finally here. Come, sit here, where did we last go?"
"Hey, dear Sephora, it's a pleasure to meet you. I remember debating whether the necklace around the elven princess's neck was a blessing from the legendary moon god. You say that the style is not quite the same as the legendary. I don't think it's that important......"
......
The city of Laiwuka is a small city in the eastern province of the kingdom of Lampari. The combined population of the city was only 20,000, but there were more than 4,000 people concentrated in this small square, and the whole square was crowded.
Even the trees next to the square were full of young men, all staring at the open space closest to the city wall of the square, and their mouths were the same as the people in the square, constantly engaging in heated discussions and even quarrels.
The dense crowd of people discussed different things, but they all focused on the same point, and that. It is the third episode of "Sainz's Vendetta", which will be released tonight.
This "Sains Enmity" is the latest fantasy film released by the Crescent Chamber of Commerce, which mainly tells a story from the time of the Race War 3,000 years ago.
The main plot of the story is a series of events that occur during the race war between humans and the elves, but the protagonist is a human girl and the prince of the elves.
Interspersed with the main line of the war is the poignant love story between His Royal Highness the Elven Prince and the human girl, describing the human girl who fell in love with His Royal Highness the Elven Prince, but because of the irreconcilable contradictions between the two races at that time, there were various obstacles between the two.
Although the first two episodes of this illusion film were only released, because the story was wonderful and it still told the story between elves and humans that many people like to hear, it was welcomed by countless people as soon as it was released.
And the illusion film itself is an extremely new thing. Before the Crescent Chamber of Commerce was launched, the people on the continent of Sainz had never heard of such a novelty. So every time the Crescent Chamber of Commerce publicly screens a phantom film, almost the whole city of Laiwuka City will be mobilized together, and it will be very lively.
Standing on the walls of Laiwuka City, Steele glanced at the bustling scene in the square below, turned to his subordinates and asked, "How are you preparing?"
"It's all ready, Lord. The subordinate replied respectfully. "There are less than ten minutes left until the playtime, do you see if it's ......"
"Go ahead. Steele waved his hand, and the man nodded in response, turned and waited for a few men to descend the walls and head straight for the square.
Ten minutes later, it will be eight o'clock in the evening, which is the official release time of the third episode of "Sainz's Vendetta" announced by the Crescent Chamber of Commerce.
Play on time, that's something Steele has always emphasized.
To date, the Crescent Chamber of Commerce has set up as many as 73 public screening venues in a total of 57 cities in the Kingdom of Lampari, the Duchy of Standin and the Kingdom of Ruersun, and these 73 venues will be broadcast at the same time at each pre-determined screening time to ensure that there will be no discrepancies.
Because Laiwuka City is the latest development of the Crescent Chamber of Commerce, Steele made a special trip today to inspect and supervise the work here.
Judging from the current situation, the few staff members here are not bad, and there is basically no problem.
"Hey, dear President Steele, it's about to start, why don't you go down and take a look?" a coquettish laugh suddenly sounded in the background.
Steele frowned slightly, then quickly stretched out, turned around and smiled: "I believe that these subordinates will take care of the work, so they don't need to go by themselves." Why don't you go down and watch it, Mrs. Woolusie, aren't you interested in this fantasy film?"
Lady Vorussi, as she was called, was a woman in her thirties and less than forty, dressed in a long red silk dress and a bright flower.
Hearing Steele's question, she covered her mouth with a small fan the size of a palm in her hand, let out a coquettish laugh again, and said, "There are so many people crowded together, and the heat is going to heat people to death, so I don't want to go down." ”
The corners of Steele's mouth twitched involuntarily, and he wanted to turn away, not wanting to see the woman in front of him again.
This Mrs. Wolusi always regarded herself as the wife of the city lord, and no matter her words and deeds, she showed a lofty posture, which made people feel disgusted at first sight.
Fortunately, she didn't dare to put on a stand with the city lord's wife in front of Steele after all, so Steele could barely accept it.
"The third episode is a very crucial part of the whole story, if you don't watch it. I'm afraid I won't understand the next development. Don't you think it's a pity?" said Steele laughed patiently.
"Nope. Of course I want to see it, but I don't want to be huddled with so many people, especially so many stinky men and civilians. Madame Vorusi made no secret of her disdain for the people in the square. "President Steele, can't you think of a way to prepare another place for a screening for nobles like me?"
Steele glanced at her and shook his head: "I'm sorry, our Chamber of Commerce doesn't have the capacity to prepare so many screening venues at the moment. So I'm afraid it won't meet your requirements. But if you don't want to watch illusions with other people, I have a solution. ”
"Oh, how?" asked Lady Vorusia with interest.
"The magic illusion projection device arranged by our chamber of commerce is based on the magic illusion projector produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but on a larger scale. So if you want, you can buy a regular home version of the magic illusion projector from the new flying chamber, and then buy the illusion storage box of this illusion film from us, and you can enjoy it at home. ”
After saying this, the corners of Steele's mouth couldn't help but show a self-deprecating smile.
Recently, in order to vigorously promote the home magic illusion projector, and the fantasy storage box that the Crescent Chamber of Commerce cooperated with the Aishara tribe to successfully develop, she can play illusion videos with the magic illusion projector, this passage has been said countless times, and she has been extremely fluent. You don't even need to think about it, and there will be no pause or mistake in between.
"A home version of the magic illusion projector?" Lady Voluthy's eyes widened. Exclaimed, exaggeratedly, "It's the first time I've heard of this." President Steele, if I buy it, will I be the first person in Laiwuka City to buy it?"
Steele smiled slightly, who would not know what Lady Vorusia was thinking at this time, and nodded, "Yes." ”
"That's great. Lady Vorusia let out another pretended sweet smile. "So Mrs. Steele, I've decided to buy a set of this home version of the Magic...... Magic ......"
"Magic illusion projector, and matching illusion storage box. Steele reminded.
"Yes, yes, that's them. President Steele, money is not an issue, and I hope you will send this set to my private estate as much as possible. I'm going to hold my private screening at the manor, oh hehehehe......"
Steele barely resisted the urge to cover his ears and continued, "Lady Vorushi, I need to warn you. Because we need to prioritize public screenings, the illusion films stored in the illusion storage box will not be faster than the public screening of "Sains' vendetta". So, if you want to enjoy the third episode as much as possible, now go down to the square to watch it, it is the best choice, there is no one. ”
Mrs. Vorusia looked stunned, and couldn't help but scream, "Why! Why did I spend the money and see it later than these lowly civilians below?"
Hearing the words "lowly civilians", Steele's face suddenly turned cold, and he wanted to sarcastically say a few words to her, but in the end he held back and patiently explained: "I'm really sorry, because of some technical reasons, it is difficult to meet this demand for you." But while this won't allow you to watch illusion movies faster for the time being, it will allow you to watch them in a more comfortable and free environment, right?"
The expression on Madame Vorusie's face changed several times, and finally she snorted heavily, and said with a sinking face: "Well, anyway, send the projector you just said to my private estate, so be it." ”
After dropping these words, Mrs. Vorus turned and walked away, not even saying goodbye to Steele.
Watching Lady Volussy descend the city wall, Steele sighed softly, thinking that it was not easy to earn a few gold coins.
She didn't have a deep understanding before, but she just understood that Xu Yi must have worked very hard, but when she herself served as the president of the Crescent Chamber of Commerce and was struggling with the development and growth of the Crescent Chamber of Commerce, she really realized how difficult it was for Xu Yi to lead the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce from scratch, and then develop to the current scale.
However, this is the path she has chosen, and even if Xu Yi has persuaded her several times, she still can't change her mind, so this qiē difficulty must be borne by herself.
Steele exhaled lightly, turned his head to look at the square below the city wall, his eyes fell on a young couple on the periphery of the square and a child who was about two or three years old riding on the young man's neck, and his mind suddenly flashed back to what he said when he went to the Magic Research Institute of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce with Xu Yi that day.
"Crisis?" Steele shook his head slightly.
She and Xu Yi have known each other for more than eight years, and they have been together for seven years, and she knows very well what kind of person Xu Yi is, but she is not worried about some messy problems as Akali said.
It's just that the two of them have been getting together less and leaving more like now, but it's really a problem.
Steele frowned slightly, and thought seriously as he watched the young couple and child in the square laughing together. (To be continued......)
