Verse 193.Look at the magic image with the Demon Maharaja
"Great Philosopher's Stone, this is the Demon Maharaja I brought to you......"
Unlucky to avoid the Flame Phantom this time, Annan offered the Philosopher's Stone directly.
The Flame Phantom stood in front of him, and Annan seemed to feel its smiling emotion, and then obediently activated the first Philosopher's Stone.
Otherwise, if you didn't bring a magic stone to be beaten, and you brought a magic stone and you were beaten, wouldn't the magic stone be in vain?
There is no sign, and the magic image begins abruptly. The attention of the flame phantom fell on the image, and Annan followed to watch it.
Truth be told, excluding the magical images that lure the audience with emotions, the remaining magical images are almost all visualizations of various famous books, which have beautiful stories that are popular or moving, but also make people play because of the crappy pictures and special effects.
Annan always glanced apprehensively at the flaming phantom because of these things popping up from time to time, and surprisingly, it still looked at it with relish.
The Demon Lord seems to be unexpectedly fooled......
The first Philosopher's Stone is only thirty minutes long, but its plot is spectacular: a devout believer who believes in two different gods makes a vow to marry Maria, a girl from the town, and the two gods begin a divine war to fulfill the wishes of the believers, and the two gods are bloodied and almost fall - the end result is that both gods are defeated, and neither of the two believers marries Maria, because Maria is a believer in another god - she vows to dedicate her life to the gods.
It's just the effect...... Annan guessed that the special effects of the three gods when they appeared and fought should have been made by a mage's apprentice.
The second magic image was a little smarter, and they opened with the title of the work: "Seven Days of Death".
The storyline is that a malevolent wizard sells cursed magic necklaces that he declares will cause the wearer to die after the seventh day. And he was able to take the opportunity to collect the soul, and he also escaped the punishment of the law. On this day, a young child came to his magic house and pulled out a dozen copper coins to buy a cursed magic necklace. The soul-needing wizard generously sold the magic necklace to the boy, and then quietly followed the boy to his dilapidated home, where he saw the boy wearing the necklace on his mother, who apparently did not survive tonight......
What follows is the story of the wizard who heals the boy's mother, and then is slowly touched by the boy and takes back the curse.
There is a faint affection between the wizard and the boy. And the simplicity and shakyness of the picture unexpectedly set off the truth of this emotion...... It's just that the story that could have been told in an hour has been stretched to a lengthy three hours. One of the scenes where the boy came home really filmed him walking for twenty minutes...... It can be called "art".
The art that the Allen Continent can't accept for the time being.
Thankfully, the Flame Phantom didn't beat himself.
Annan, who had not been beaten for three hours and thirty minutes, activated the third Philosopher's Stone.
The third magical image, untitled, is about a clever fool holding an artifact that threatens the Tatoon Empire, demanding a ransom payment of 100 gold coins, and then creating a bunch of ridiculous stories.
Annan actually saw many well-designed jokes from them, and I don't know if it was the original book or the adaptation.
But no matter how funny the story is, it can't make even a single laugh from the flame phantom, and Annan can only cover his mouth to prevent himself from laughing.
Continuing to play the magic video, Annan stood at first, then sat on the ground.
The flame phantom next to him had never communicated with Annan, making him wonder, is this existence really a demon lord?
The last Philosopher's Stone was shown, and it wasn't long before I woke up.
Annan raised his head, and the Flame Phantom lowered his head. As if dissatisfied, it suddenly turned into an afterimage and knocked Annan away.
Annan escaped from the dream in mid-air and returned to reality, and the subconscious tremor caused the philosopher's stone in his arms to roll down, and Lily was also woken up with a coquettish cat meow.
"I said don't come to my room lately." Annan reluctantly strokes Lily's hair, blaming the Demon Maharaja's final knock on himself for the terrible viewing experience.
Anyway, he had a good rest last night, and he was able to meditate for three more days.
Coming downstairs to the restaurant, Ingrid arrives next.
"What am I going to do today?" Annan asked her.
"Accompany Lady Ollock on her journey to Liberty City."
“…… Me? ”
"Or is it me?" Ingrid stared at Annan, "You promised her yesterday. ”
Only then did Annan sound the promise at the banquet...... It seems that even if there is meditation to hold on, it is best not to exceed five days.
But there is also good news, that Annan has almost forgotten the ugliness of Mrs. Ollocke in the box, as long as he does not deliberately recall it......
For his own safety, Annan asked the elven mentor to take the form of Rosie and accompany him and Madame Olok on the trip. He even skipped the theater and just wandered around the high street.
Madame Oloke looked at the corset behind the window, but was a little dissatisfied: "I should have lost a little more weight." ”
Annan looked at the girdle on the clay model, which was just enough to show a healthy circumference to the waist, and if he was thin, he would ......
"That's not pretty, Lady Oloch." Annan said sincerely, "I feel that a woman's beauty depends on her plumpness, and sickly slenderness only hurts herself." ”
Lady Oloch, who ended up strolling around Liberty City for a morning, spent only a few dozen gold coins...... They don't have many specialties.
"It's like I've been washed and purified." Mrs. Ollocke's assessment comes from the heart.
Both physical and mental – the streets here are spotless, there are no beggars, and there is little exploitation and power struggle to see – because all rights are firmly held by Annan and those around him.
Aristocrats who liked Annam described him as making sure that the city was run according to his ideas. Neutral aristocrats described Annan as a fiefdom of Liberty City, and he was a lord of all kinds. Aristocrats who hated Annan described him as a ostensibly impartial dictator.
The Principality of Keating said that he was the second mad dog Archduke - the Principality of Keating was like a schizophrenic, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer was courting Annan, but the delegation was trying to make Annan hate them.
The reason is simple, the nobles will never admit their mistakes.
Annan wanted Evelyn to put this sentence in the magic newspaper, but he gave up on it at the thought of Lady Ollocke's bad reputation.
At the time of the final separation, Madame Olok just looked at Annan with pity, and she did not make any intimate gestures during the shopping, as if she did not want to touch the pure soul with her aging and filthy body...... But it doesn't matter, there are always elves who do it for her.
In the living room on the second floor of the City Lord's Mansion, Annan grabbed the hand of the elf mentor rubbing back and forth on his face: "Didn't you say that the royal court entrusted you with two things?" What's the second thing? ”
