0255 Negotiation Failures and Ways to Break the Deadlock
"Shall we just go?"
After looking back at the tavern with the sound of ping-pong, the princess in a hospitality dress couldn't help but ask:
"That Mr. Elijah hasn't run away yet, and if he stays there, he won't be able to ......."
"Don't worry, he'll be fine."
After throwing Yoha on his shoulder and letting him lie on his stomach, Leon took the rag he had just brought from the restaurant, rubbed the sauce on the black goat's face, and replied:
"He's covered with someone, but it's much safer than us, not to mention that the three sailors just hit him with their fists, as long as the master Wilde is willing, even if someone runs over on a cruise ship, he can still jump alive and kick up???."
What is this?
Without the resistance to anomalous substances provided by [Materialism], the princess at this time was still the tavern hostess "Agatha", so she naturally couldn't understand what Leon was talking about, but when she thought of the usual "crazy words" of "Mr. Joseph", she did not continue to delve into it, but proposed with a worried face:
"Mr. Joseph, the police station is just around the corner of the street ahead, can you please call the police?" I'm worried about ...... tavern."
"It's going to be okay over there!"
After wiping the sauce off the black goat, Leon tied it to his belt, then grabbed the princess's shoulders with both hands, and said with a serious face:
"Dimension...... Agatha, listen to me! ”
Looking at the princess who was a little surprised, Leon, who was about to try to take her to escape, explained sincerely:
"What I'm going to say next may sound hard to believe, but I can assure you that everything I say is true, and you're not a tavern hostess, but a ...... Not? ”
After feeling an inexplicable danger, Leon, whose hairs stood on end, suddenly raised his head and found that a transparent silk thread that was many times thicker than before was quietly falling from the sky and hitting the back of his head!
It's the King of Drama who has found it!
Leon, who found that the situation was not good, did not attack the transparent filament with the Holy Spirit Pendant, but controlled the substantial spiritual power to condense into a big hand, and suddenly pushed himself sideways, narrowly avoiding the falling filament.
But as a strong man with the "power of two sheep", the ability of the [King of Drama] is naturally not so easy to dodge, and the silk thread that is thicker than the thighs of an adult male instantly exploded, turning into nearly a hundred invisible filaments, instantly enveloping Leon in it, and sticking all the movable places on his body without landing.
"Bastard! How dare you ruin my play! ”
With a roar of anger, as if the pause button had been pressed, the birds in the sky stopped flapping their wings, the fresh and salty sea breeze stopped flowing, and the sound of the waves crashing against the dock also came to an abrupt end, and the whole world fell into a standstill.
Immediately afterwards, "Master Wilde", dressed in a crisp double-breasted white suit and wearing a topper of the same color on his head, limped over with a cane, and stood in front of Leon with an angry face.
This should be the embodiment of the will of the [King of Drama], right?
Leon, whose body was glued with silk threads all over his body, and only his eyes could move, rolled his eyes and looked fixedly at the [Drama Master] who was full of anger.
According to his own speculation, the body of this "Eryang-level" anomaly is the small seaside town in front of him...... Or the theatrical world it fictionalizes.
That's why as soon as I came in, I found the relevant information of the [King of Drama], and if I wanted to escape from the theater world it created, in addition to relying on strength, I could also find the incarnation of the will of the [King of Drama], and find a way to severely damage its will, so that the world born of this will to follow will collapse in advance.
And his original plan was to hook out the will of the [King of Drama], and then try it with the spiritual impact ability of the Holy Spirit Pendant to see if he could hit it hard, after all, the cost of creating such a big world must be not small, and with the remaining strength of the [King of Drama], he may not be able to resist the impact of the Holy Spirit Pendant.
But now......
After feeling the strength of the will of the [King of Drama], Leon couldn't help but shake his head and snort, and rationally gave up his plan to "rush" it.
The strength of this product's will is too high, so thick that it is like a cement wall, this self really can't move, it seems that I can only think of other ways.
……
"You...... Why are you still moving?! ”
Looking at Leon, who had hundreds of silk threads glued to his body, but could still shake his head and sigh, "Master Wilde" was slightly startled, and just wanted to continue to increase the silk threads, but found that the man in front of him just shook his head and twisted his tail twice, and the control threads released with all his strength were all broken, and none of them were left.
"It's because I can be exempt from your control...... Also, although it doesn't feel likely, I'd like to try to discuss it with you. ”
After taking stock of his current methods, he found that there was really nothing he could do with the [King of Drama], Leon, who had broken free from the silk thread, pointed to the princess and proposed with a sincere expression:
"If you can get me and her to leave, and then promise to release all the trapped people when this scene is over, I can help you ......"
"No way!"
Before Leon's quid pro quo was finished, he was categorically rejected by the [King of Drama], only to see it raise the cane in his hand and point at the princess, and said with a face that could not be refused:
"You can leave when you're done, but she is the heroine of "Traveling Together in 12 Days" and must stay!"
"It's not...... Do you have to finish this play? ”
"Of course!"
After hearing Leon's words, "Master Wilde" said with a stubborn face:
"No matter how bad the play is, it's better than the one that stops halfway! Once my drama starts, I can't stop no matter what happens in between! ”
"But can you still play this scene?"
After pointing in the direction of the tavern, Leon opened his mouth to remind the "master of tendons":
"Although I haven't watched this play, if I guess correctly, the content of the scene just now should be that I want the hero and heroine to encounter some trouble together, and then quickly get closer to each other, so that the invitation of '12 Days to Travel Together' can be established.
Now it's me who saved Agatha, although your actor stood up and spoke, but in fact he was just beaten, your play has been disrupted, is it necessary to continue? ”
"It's necessary! As for how to act, I don't have to worry about you, a villain! ”
After glaring at Leon in annoyance, "Master Wilde" said with a cold face:
"In addition, for the sake of you and the audience who bought tickets to watch my play, I don't have to worry about you this time, but you are not allowed to watch any of my plays in the future, and I and my Morning Star Troupe are not welcome to you!"
“……”
So there's still nothing to talk about?
After listening to the words of "Master Wilde", Leon couldn't help but sigh again when he looked at the strange door that suddenly appeared out of thin air in front of him and had the word exit written on it.
It is impossible to leave the princess behind, although until now, [The King of Drama] has no intention of hurting people, and he has shown that he can communicate, so that he has the mind to solve the problem by "peace talks", but it is still an anomaly after all, and no matter how reliable it is, it cannot be fully trusted.
In addition, this product is now on the verge of getting out of control, otherwise he would not have trapped thousands of people in one breath because of the two ridicules of the drama critics, in case this play is not performed well in the end, the ghost knows if he will do anything more extreme behavior.
What's more, he is still a cleaner, and he has the responsibility to clean up when he encounters an out-of-control anomaly, and catch this "Master Wilde" and hand it over to the General Bureau......
"Since you don't want to go, then don't go!"
After waiting patiently for a while, but never seeing Leon walk towards the exit, "Master Wilde" couldn't help but snort coldly, closed the door to the outside world, and then waved his hand at Leon like a fly, and said with a disgusted expression:
"I don't know why you're exempt from my control, but I'm the creator of this world, and I can deal with you in many ways...... Let me lie down at the bottom of the sea! Before the end of "Twelve Days of Travel", you are not allowed to appear in this city! ”
With the order of "Master Wilde", the world around Lyon quickly twisted, spanning a distance of dozens of kilometers in an instant, one second the neat and empty streets, the next second it turned into a dark ocean depth.
However, the strange thing is that the world around Leon has obviously changed, but when he takes a step at the bottom of the sea, he actually strangely returns to his original position, standing again on the dark blue streets of the small city, and everything around him seems to have never changed.
What's going on? I'm the creator of this world, and I can even swap the sun for the moon! Why can't you move him to a supporting role?!
……
Thank you [Materialism]! If you can get out safely this time, you'll be a well-deserved MVP!
As a matter of course, he did not tell the "Master Wilde" the reason for his exemption from the transfer, and after looking at the glittering crimson badge in the panel, the corners of Leon's mouth curled slightly, and then he looked up at the [King of Drama], and commented meaningfully:
"I can't even figure out the world I've created, and it seems that the theater critic is right, you really don't know much about theater." ?!!
was a little dazed by this sudden provocation, and after reacting to what Leon was saying, "Master Wilde" couldn't help but be angry, and said angrily:
"You ...... nonsense"
"Do you remember what I just did?"
After raising his hand again and pointing towards the tavern, Leon explained (blindly) (broken) in a serious voice:
"In your original script, after my character showed his cowardice and brought out the courage of the male protagonist Elijah, he could already leave the scene, and he could naturally kick it out at will.
But now things have changed, and the person who just rescued Agatha has become me, and if there is an audience in this scene, then at least half of the people's eyes have moved to me and Agatha who is leaving, if you throw me to the bottom of the sea at this time, will your play still be able to perform?
For this theatrical world, the basic rules that it must abide by are the basic rules that it must abide by, and a character as important as me, who saved the heroine cleverly and wittily one second, suddenly disappeared the next second without even explaining a word, do you think this is in line with the rules of the theatrical world? ”
“……”
It seems like...... Could it really be this reason? But...... But I'm the author, right?
After listening to Leon's reasoned nonsense, "Master Wilde", although he felt that something was wrong, he could not think of any other reasonable explanation, so he could only argue:
"Without you...... It's a bit incomplete, but I'm the creator of this world, and I even wrote the script for "Twelve Days of Travel", so I ......"
"You're just a script writer, what do you know about "Traveling Together in 12 Days"?"
Relying on this conversation, he roughly estimated the double quotient of the [King of Drama], and found that this product was slightly lower than the average human level in terms of EQ and IQ, Leon couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, and then increased his strength and flickered violently:
"All in all, after the scene in the tavern, I have successfully joined the plot of "Twelve Days of Travel", it is impossible for you to delete it easily, even if you are the creator of this world, you can't greatly violate the rules of the theater world, now you have nothing to do with me, the only thing you can do is to silently accept my existence!"
"Damn it! Don't you think! ”
I don't know if I believe Leon's nonsense, or I don't want my painstaking drama to have an irreparable plot bug, "Master Wilde" hesitated for a while, but really didn't try to get Leon out of the plot, but really gritted his teeth and recognized him.
"You wait for me, I'll go back and change the plot of the next few scenes!"
Looking at the bastard who stirred up his own drama in front of him and took the initiative to provoke himself, the "Master Wilde" who was trembling with anger said angrily:
"Don't think that if you get a little bit of a scene, you can replace me as the master of the theater world, you are a layman with half a bucket of water, and you will never be able to change a script that is more popular with the audience than me!
After I finish changing the new plot, I only need the second ...... At most, in the first scene of the third act, I can completely drive you, the scourge, out of my world! ”
“……”
Wait a minute! If you can't get out, let's talk about it first...... What's it like to take control of the theater world instead of you?
After listening to the cruel words of "Master Wilde", Leon not only did not get angry, but raised his eyebrows slightly in a controlled manner, and there was a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Listen to what he says...... Could it be that by completely messing up the original plot and changing it to be more popular with the audience than his original script, he can become the new controller of the theater world?
