Section 166. "Five Hundred Years of Shock" premiered
Haier City
The Stuart Theatre was overcrowded.
Annan, Princess Crimson, and the rest of the crew sat in the front row, and the seats behind them were all big names from the Land of Eternal Night.
Here's the advice from the Liberty City side: send invitations to all councillors and nobles.
It's their business to come or not, if they stand firmly against the Scarlet Queen...... Then they are not to blame for what the Sturetts did.
And if they come...... Then there's no reason to restrict magical images anymore.
After all, even the parliamentarians, princes, and grand dukes personally attended the premiere, and you are questioning their behavior?
This is Annan's parting gift - it is not necessarily a friend who comes, but it must be an enemy who does not come.
Annan turned around, and many of the seats were full of fresh faces, and he didn't see the figure of Grand Duke Borodia.
As an enemy who concocted the division of the Stulet family, it is the only councillor who did not receive an invitation, and it is unlikely to be here.
Five councillors and a dozen old families sent people to the city, as well as countless minor nobles.
As the seats fill and the lights dim, the theater gradually returns to quiet.
Images of the New World appear on the curtain, and magical images begin to show.
Count Dracula was betrayed by the kingdom of Rikanr and made a deal with the devil to become a vampire and kill his enemies. Five hundred years later, he still retains the elegance of nobility and the faith of a knight. He is reluctant to kill innocent people, and even if he needs to suck blood to maintain his strength, he will first conquer the other party with his temperament, and then take some blood after obtaining consent, because he believes that such blood is full of life energy, and he can draw a line with those who suck human blood like wild beasts.
As a result, Isha sinks into the beauty of Count Dracula and awakens the memories of her past life......
The plot of "500 Years of Shock" has no depth, and the story told is like a child's game in the eyes of a group of old antiques who have lived for thousands of years...... But it brings a long-lost novelty.
There is very little new in their lives. So after the screening, the old guys gave "500 Years of Shock" applause with encouragement - although it did not match the sad ending.
Many of the guests left for the next banquet, but more guests stayed, and the crimson princess in a red dress restrained her liveliness, looking elegant and reserved.
Because the burden of reviving the Stulet family will be on her...... And Annan is leaving.
……
The premiere is not just in Haier City.
Dozens of theaters in the Land of Eternal Night, Les Les and Phils, the Flower Capital, the Rings of Steel, and the Port of Tuos, as well as Middle-earth and the North, as well as the Kingdom of Mirren under the Emperor of Hamis VI, screened 500 Years of Horror simultaneously.
Audiences elsewhere are more focused on the touching love between Count Dracula and Elizabeth, as well as Annan, than on the side of Hale City.
Annan doesn't look like a middle-aged man at all in this magical image. Even with mature makeup, he became haggard and bearded during the war and in prison, but he was still a young and unspeakable boy.
It looks a lot taller......
Fans of "Annan Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" can't help but wonder if Annan Potter will be like this when he grows up.
Then as "The Voice of Freedom" revealed the inside story, fans learned that the real identities of the male and female protagonists were reversed: Annan who played Count Dracula was human, and the heroines who played Elizabeth and Isha were actually the queen and princess among the vampires, and some vampire supporting roles were actually played by vampires.
What changed the most in "500 Years of Horror" was the vampires.
In the past, they flew around, like rats in the gutter, hiding in the taverns and chaotic places of human cities, behaving rudely, swearing, and indulging in the pleasures of chaos. Abducting, seducing, kidnapping human beings, and committing crimes.
In some places, they are even compared to the nezumi.
Nowadays, they imitate human etiquette, change into formal dresses, comb their hair delicately, make themselves look elegant, and no longer rudely suck the blood like wild beasts, but put wine into wine glasses, and gentlemen and ladies take a sip of it.
This is evidenced by the frequent news of vampire attacks on residents in various places, but the number of disappearances has suddenly plummeted.
It is said that some nobles in the southern kingdoms also invited vampires to banquets or raised them.
Elves have style, nezumi have value for money, and now the nobles who pursue fashion have a new choice: vampires.
And as the only villain in "500 Years of Horror", the kingdom of Rikaner angrily attacked Annan for complicity with vampires and glorified vampires. This magical image will make many people lose their vigilance against vampires and pay a heavy price.
Annan said that except for the kingdom of Rikaner, there are no other plots in "500 Years of Horror" that glorify evil.
The vampires in the magical images are still evil, but they are dressed in an elegant garment. And the kingdom of Recan, which betrayed tens of millions of people, only betrayed Count Dracula here.
Isn't that a beautification?
"500 Years of Horror" is still fermenting, and the most popular is the Philosopher's Stone. Regular, Signed, Collector's...... This is followed by stone statues. Yili led the construction department to make more than 200 Dracula stone statues, the price of which was the same as the Philosopher's Stone, 100 gold coins. As a result, demand outstrips supply......
Annan reaped the wealth, while the Stulet family reaped support.
With the release of the magical video, the area around Sturett Manor has become more visited with Hale City, including some young children of ancient families.
Some of them came for Annan, and some came for Princess Crimson.
And as June 16 gets closer and closer, Annan is ready to end his trip to the south.
It's time to go home.
The proceeds of this time are filled with magic rings. Annan told Haile City and Rice City to kill all the human merchants who dared to sell humans, and send the rescued humans to Haier City.
As a result, it was not only humans, but also elves, halflings and other alien races that were captured here......
They were wary and hated everyone, including Annan, but when Annan took out the leaves of the World Tree and showed his friendly relationship with the Elven Court, their hatred disappeared.
Sending the money and the rescued people back to Free City, Annan summoned Dean Brehim over and said goodbye to Rena.
Skeletron won't be leaving, and will be a guest at House Stulet for a while, lest the Scarlet Queen's enemies jump over the wall.
"Remember ...... in five years"
"It won't take so long, maybe you'll be in Liberty City in a few days." Annan smiled and corrected the vampire's worldview - years were like days for them.
Finally looking at the Scarlet Queen, Annan said, "Hopefully, it won't be long before I receive good news that you're back in the council." ”
The Scarlet Queen lowered her pride floating on the clouds and looked at Annan squarely:
"You will be a friend of the Sterrett family forever."
