Section 23: Nightmares and the Arrival of the Orc Trade Group (I)
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
It's that nightmare again.
The surroundings were blood-red, but the touch around the body was sticky, as if you were in the blood plasma.
Wang Qinian tried his best to see the blood red, but no matter how hard he tried, he could only see a blur that was constantly distorted and deformed, as well as the smell of sulfur.
Suddenly, there was a touch of black in the blood-red, and this black sliced through the blood-red like a sharp blade.
Wang Qinian suddenly saw his body, and he didn't know when his body became so ugly.
He had a pointed conical head, a nose that protruded forward, a split lip, and a mouthful of sharp teeth.
The skin of the body is loess-colored, able to stand upright, and there are a pair of pitifully small bat wings on their backs, but they cannot fly at all, but can only jump forward.
And the space he was in was also very strange, full of lava, and from time to time a flash of flames would emerge from the cracks in the ground.
In the distance, you can see tall volcanoes, and smoke and flames are constantly spewing from the tops of the mountains.
And there was a silent black river not far away, and Wang Qinian's intuition told him that the river should not be approached casually, it seemed quite dangerous, much more dangerous than the volcano in the distance.
There was an ugly roar from the side, full of hostility.
Wang Qinian realized that he was not the only one around, but many monsters similar to himself.
The next moment, without waiting for him to observe any more, plus him, nearly a thousand little monsters around him had already killed each other.
The dream has changed so much that it is different from before.
A small monster pounced on Wang Qinian, but was cleverly dodged by Wang Qinian, and then instinctively pounced, pressed it tightly, and bit the back of his neck with sharp teeth until he couldn't move.
When his teeth bit on the back of the little monster's neck, he felt a strange stream of heat rushing into his body from the other party's body, and the sulfur smell between his noses became stronger again, and his own strength seemed to increase a little.
But before he could catch his breath, another little monster found him, and the second battle began.
The third, fourth, fifth, Wang Qinian didn't know how many little monsters he had killed, but with each one he killed, he felt that his strength seemed to increase a little bit, which allowed him to continue to survive in this brutal battle.
I don't know how long it took, the banks of the black river were already covered with the corpses of small monsters, and from the pile of corpses, there were several small monsters that looked stronger.
These little monsters should be the victors among all the dead fighters, and every time they kill a little monster like Wang Qinian, they will absorb a little bit of the power of the dead.
The color of their bodies had changed from loess to a deep orange-yellow, and their nails were as sharp as small daggers on their jumping toes and outstretched claws.
Perhaps because of their similar strength, these evolved little monsters were as unsure as Wang Qinian, so they didn't rush to attack, but confronted each other.
The black river began to rise, and the black river flooded to the shore, and like Wang Qinian, those little monsters seemed to know that this strange river was extremely dangerous, so they had to stop the confrontation and leave in different directions.
Wang Qinian didn't go far, he waited for the other little monsters to leave and walked out of a lava hill, but he was surprised to find that the black river was gone, as if it had never appeared.
The corpses of the little monsters were gone, and in their place were thousands of blood-red eggs standing in front of them.
Wang Qinian suddenly understood that his previous dream was still in the egg, when it had not hatched, so no matter how he looked at it, it was a blood-red piece.
When it hatches, it becomes a little monster, goes through a tragic battle, and becomes one of the survivors.
Thankfully, it was just a dream, fortunately.
When Wang Qinian realized this, he suddenly woke up.
In the horror, he realized that he was still lying on the bed, not in that strange plane, it was indeed just a dream, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
What is amazing is that he has improved his mental strength again.
------
Solomon & Co. was established yesterday, and the division of labor among the three directors was also clarified.
Wang Qinian is responsible for the general direction, general coordination, and the provision of scripts, as well as the shooting of Shadow Animation.
Obier was in charge of the theatre and the trade agent, while Richie was only in charge of the Daffodil Theatre Company.
The wood elves were arranged to enter the Daffodil Troupe, and Old John and a few of them became Wang Qinian's subordinates, as one of the new internal affairs officials of the Free City, although they were not the core three, but they were already the three of them.
The three people at the heart of Liberty City are now Franklin, Criss, and Bernhard, and the three of them used to be friends.
The second highest status is the mages in the underground base and the high-ranking officers of the city guard, such as Cleveland, the captain of the personal guard, as well as the interior officer, the financial officer, the tax officer, etc.
Wang Qinian has now been promoted to an internal affairs officer, and it is very normal to have several subordinates.
However, although he became an internal affairs officer, Franklin did not clearly designate the affairs he was responsible for, and the two internal affairs officials at the same level as him were certainly not stupid enough to take the initiative to give him the power in their hands, so Wang Qinian was fine for a while, and still lived a similar life as before.
He finally finished writing the script for Alexander and the Forty Thieves, and began filming.
Alexander didn't let Allen play it again this time, whether it was from acting skills or qualifications, it was impossible to shoot Snow White before, he had no one on his hands, and Allen's handsomeness also met the audience's expectations.
The male protagonist this time, of course, Lizi Bao is the original pillar of the Daffodil Theater Troupe, Anthony, and Malkina is played by Catherine, because Wang Qinian promised to star in this one, and Jenny plays Alexander's original wife, a kind woman.
The actors of the Daffodil Troupe played other roles, and the forty thieves were played by the wood elves, anyway, Wang Qinian designed the image of a masked thief in the play, and only the bandit and one of the female thieves were not masked.
Old John was once again forced by Wang Qinian to make a cameo appearance, because he wanted to perform that kind of viciousness, including the Daffodil Troupe, they couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while.
The female thief was designed by Wang Qinian to be friends with Malkina when she was a child, and fell in love with Alexander, played by Ciri.
The ending of the film is that Alexander, with the help of the female thief's guilt and Malkina's intelligence, annihilated the forty thieves, the wife played by Jenny died under the knife of the forty thieves, and the female thief played by Ciri also died with the bandits in order to save Alexander, and finally Malkina and Alexander lived happily together.
The Daffodil Troupe was also a little unaccustomed to the filming of the Shadow Animation when they first started, but they deserved to be people who had been on the stage for a long time, and they quickly adapted to it, and the shooting was much smoother than the first one.
And the Wood Elves play the role of the Forty Thieves
, Wang Qinian cleverly designed the image of the masked thief, only showing two eyes, basically using them as props, there are only a few thieves with lines, in addition to Old John and Ciri, Ruiya and Allen respectively played the two robbers who went to Alexander's house to draw circles and markers, but were teased by Malkina.
This drama is filmed much more smoothly than Snow White, but the cost is higher than Snow White, in fact, the two films should really be Snow White's cost is higher, but Snow White has all kinds of conveniences when shooting, but it saves a lot of costs, otherwise ordinary people would not have had the opportunity to shoot in the City Lord's Mansion, let alone use Cleveland's men to shoot battlefield scenes.
Fortunately, this play does not have the exterior scenes of the palace and the battlefield like Snow White, except for the slightly troublesome arrangement of the cave where the gold coins are hidden indoors, many scenes can be completed directly from the houses in the city.
The gold coins in the cave were a little troublesome, and in the end, Wang Qinian came out to borrow some from Franklin, plus Mr. Obier took out some gold coins, and then used the angle of shooting to complete it.
-------
At the same time that Wang Qinian was filming his second film, Franklin Bank was officially opened in Liberty City.
There was no movement for the first half of the day, because people had heard of such a good thing.
Whereas the former money-changers also had money changers who were in the business of keeping coins, but they would charge a fee for keeping them, but the new bank claimed that if citizens were willing to deposit their coins with them, they would pay interest in return.
In the afternoon, a few people finally walked into the Franklin Bank, which was located outside the inner city, next to the inner city gatekeeper, one of whom Wang Qinian knew, and was an apprentice under the alchemy workshop of the outer city, Ewell.
Wang Qinian also went to the bank once, and he deposited fifteen eagle silver coins into it.
The bank's office was created by opening up the three shops closest to the inner city, and the inner city wall was also extended, wedged half of the business hall into the inner city.
Inside, a stone platform was used as a business desk, and the room was divided in half, and an iron fence as thick as a child's arm was erected on the edge of the stone platform on the outward side.
The tellers are selected from the treasurer, and they are responsible for reception and bookkeeping.
Everyone who saves money can receive a notebook, which will record the amount of money deposited and spent at the same time, using a double-entry account book, which will indicate the type and amount of currency deposited and withdrawn, if you want to deposit different currencies, you must produce different passbooks, but each passbook will be accompanied by a small seal seal when you make receipts and disbursements, this seal is specially made with alchemy, and will be accompanied by the secret seal of Chris.
The inner half of the business hall is under the protection of the inner city, but the biggest secret is that the coins deposited every day are transferred to the underground base through the underground passage of the business hall, where the bank's vault is located.
The next day, there were obviously more people, and it was the City Lord's Mansion that opened it, and Franklin's credibility was guaranteed in Free City.
However, most of the people who came to save money were citizens of Liberty City, who trusted Franklin and deposited their savings in the bank.
Wang Qinian told Franklin to increase publicity, and to let people who came to deposit money know a lot of information as soon as they came to the bank business hall.
Therefore, on the fifth day of the business hall, a long row of seats was added to the room, and the interest rates of different terms were prominently posted in the room, so that everyone could see it clearly.
