"I don't want to, but I don't seem to have a choice......" Jack slowly approached Ruth and the guardrail, "you jump from here, and I'll jump with you." ”

"You're a madman......"

"Miss, with all due respect, it's not me who is standing outside the guardrail right now."

On the top terrace of the Mage's Tower, Jack cautiously reached out to Ruth, who was standing outside the guardrail.

"If you fall down from here, you'll fall to pieces, and everyone will see your ugly side...... You don't want to be like that, do you? Give me your hand ......."

Ruth looked back at him, took a deep breath, and slowly stretched out her hand—

The moment the two hands touched, a flush crept up Evelyn's cheeks. Evelyn, who covered her face shyly, fell straight from the top of the tower-

This plot failed for the fifteenth time.

Annan thought helplessly, standing by the guardrail and looking down.

Evelyn was still covering her face under the light feather technique, slowly falling in the night sky like a feather.

This is a new problem encountered after filming "King of the World".

This scene of "Ruth standing on the top of the Mage Tower and being rescued by Jack" has been reshot many times. Evelyn is too easily shy, and every touch or upcoming touch makes her shy lose control.

The Philosopher's Stone solves the editing problem, but not the actor's problem.

"I'm sorry, I should go back too." Waiting Olmedo said apologetically.

Annan had no choice but to end today's shooting.

"I'm sorry......" On the way back to the manor, Evelyn lowered her head and pinched pale fingers tangled, "I...... I can't ......"

"It's okay, let's take our time." Annan comforted.

There are less than 20 days left until the second apocalypse forecast...... It's best for him to shoot "The Fall of the Mage Tower" before that.

"Annan, or you should go find someone else......"

"No, I'll figure it out."

The filming progress is approaching a third of the way, and it is too late to temporarily replace the heroine. And aside from her shyness, Evelyn's youthfulness is indeed suitable for Ruth's identity.

Back at the manor, Annan walked through the door and saw dwarves, orcs, and ogres playing cards in the living room.

Soruman Copperbeard's excuse for this is to refine his skills to prepare for winning over Michael, but he is actually obsessed with the Dou Castle Lord.

The ogre's two fingers were holding the small cards in his hands, and he said to Annan, "Your Excellency, I need bigger cards." ”

"I'll ask the head maid to make a special pair later."

Annan looked distressed at the wrinkled, dirty, oil-stained cards, the set of "prop cards" at the beginning of the magical image, which should have been commemorative and auction-worthy......

"Copperbeard, I want to ask you for something."

After they finished fighting, the orcs and ogres took the cards and went to the wooden house in the back garden to continue, and the copper whiskers urged Annan to hurry up and talk about things-

Annan told the dwarf about the trouble.

"Do you know how a warrior overcomes fear?"

If Michael were here, he would have said, "Oh dwarves are bragging again," but both of them here are juniors of the hundred-year-old dwarf.

"Every true warrior is thrown into a forest full of wild beasts at birth, leaving him to survive in the forest and be accompanied by dangerous death."

Soruman Copperbeard's deep voice said:

"The way to overcome fear is to face it."

"Aunt Copperbeard, don't you have parents either?" Evelyn covered her mouth in surprise.

"Hmph...... Give me ten minutes. ”

Copperbeard quickly left and soon returned, smearing a strange gelatinous substance on Annan and Evelyn's palms, grabbing their wrists and forcibly gluing the two hands together.

Hidden in the shadows, Della's eyes were sharp, but the wary gaze that would have made Michael scratch his back only made Brass whiskers.

Evelyn's cheeks visibly flushed, and Annan realized something:

"Is this glue?"

"What's that?" Copperbeard let go of his palm, "The sap of the Witch Tree." Then you can't be separated from each other. ”

With that, she winked at Evelyn, who blushed like burning coal.

"Soruman Copperbeard!"

……

"You called an official mage from the Mage Tower in the middle of the night just to break you two apart?"

Michael looked speechlessly at Annan and Evelyn, who were holding hands, and the initiator who was holding his arms and watching the excitement.

Michael poured the herbal juice he had brought on Annan and Evelyn's hands, and the two hands, which had been glued for hours, finally separated.

"You can't go to the Mage Tower with Evelyn holding hands." Annan moved his wrist and stretched out his hand to Evelyn again, "Evelyn, shall we try again?" ”

As the words fell, he suddenly looked around with some confusion.

Evelyn's cheeks flushed slightly, but she put her hand on it anyway.

Annan gave the female dwarf a thumbs up: "You are as reliable as Michael Kell." ”

"I don't want to hear that again." The female dwarf stared at Michael with a fighting intent and said, "Do you have something to do?" ”

"Not yet, what's wrong?"

Soruman Copperbeard's reply was to pull out a brand new deck of cards.

……

"Give Me Your Hand ......"

At the top of the Mage's Tower, Jack cautiously reached out to Ruth, who was standing outside the guardrail.

Ruth looked back at him, took a deep breath, slowly reached out and landed in Jack's hand, and shifted to turn.

Jack stared at the young girl who was close at hand: "My name is Jack Green. ”

"Ruth Plant Chrissyl Taylor." Ruth's clear eyes filled Jack's reflection.

They maintained this action until the Red Ghost closed the Recording Philosopher's Stone.

Annan breathed a sigh of relief, and helped Evelyn, who was carrying a tuft of flowers, back to the guardrail.

"Red Ghost, is Olmedo here?"

Annan couldn't wait to continue filming, and after getting an answer yet, he had to take some night pictures of the Mage Tower.

Towards nine o'clock in the evening, Olmedo appeared.

He walked to the terrace, looked at the night view of Breeze City like stars, and said with emotion: "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have had a chance to see the scenery here......

"I have a question, why isn't the 'fiancé' a bad person?"

"Why the bad guys?"

This work doesn't need dramatic conflict.

As Evelyn arrives on the cool terrace, the Red Ghost activates the Philosopher's Stone and continues to shoot:

Evelyn stepped into the air, but fortunately Annan grabbed her and pulled her back from death. Olmedo, her fiancé who was nearby, rushed to hear exclamations and saw Evelyn lying disheveled on the terrace while Annan stood nearby.

Olmedo's guards rushed over to subdue Annan, and Evelyn explained that it was a misunderstanding. As a token of appreciation, Olmedo invited Annan to a banquet where only nobles and mages were available.

"The Fall of the Mage Tower" has officially crossed a quarter of the way, and here will be the important parts:

Two banquet group scenes.
