Chapter 292: Shameless, shameless
Contrary to Blackbeard's and the merchants' expectations, what was placed in that large wooden box was not some evil and terrifying demon prop, but an ordinary-looking transparent crystal ball, so ordinary that you could easily buy it for a few gold coins when you walked into a grocery store......
"And then?" Blackbeard and the merchant looked at each other, their faces strangely clustered around the crystal ball, and from any angle, they didn't see anything precious about it.
"Of course, this is a very ordinary crystal ball. Lin Taiping touched his chin with a smile, "In fact, what I really want you to see is not the crystal ball itself, but the ...... stored in the zĂ i crystal ball Hmm, do you see that magic pattern on the surface of the crystal ball?"
Before he could finish speaking, Blackbeard's hand trembled subconsciously, and just pressed on the strange magic pattern, and in an instant, the light flashed, and the crystal ball suddenly vibrated violently, and suddenly emitted a silvery-white light, shooting directly onto the wall of the room.
Unexpectedly, Blackbeard exclaimed in surprise and almost threw the crystal ball, and the surrounding merchants were even more pale, and involuntarily took a few steps back, lest they would be crushed by the silver-white light.
However, it turned out that their worries were unnecessary, because the silvery-white light shining on the wall did not have any destructive power, but accompanied by a strange humming sound, gradually and directly transformed into a black circular light curtain.
Immediately afterwards, the beautiful and melodious music sound came out of the light curtain, and as the music gradually weakened, there was a deep and rich male voice, as if it had passed through the years.
"A long, long time ago, in the remote castle of the Cold Stone Continent, there lived a gentle and lovely little maid Shui Yue, although she was a little timid and cowardly, she had a kind heart and dreamed of one day in the future. Become a pious priestess of the goddess of the moon. â
"On an occasional outing, Mizuki met a badly injured pig-headed monster, the seemingly ugly pig-headed monster was actually a cursed magister, and in order to thank Mizuki for saving his life, it gave a silver crystal to Mizuki. â
"At the same time, the shadows of darkness have always threatened the Cold Stone Continent, and the terrifying Demon King hides in the abyss of the earth, sending his minions to infiltrate the Cold Stone in an attempt to conquer humanity and rule the world. And the most powerful demon under his command is called ...... Godzilla!"
However, justice will never succumb to evil, and the ordinary and kind little maid Mizuki, after possessing the magic of the silver crystal, will be able to receive the great blessing of the moon goddess and transform into a maiden priestess with magical powers...... Fight, maiden priestess of love and justice, and destroy demons on behalf of the moon!"
What is this? The merchants were mentally prepared for the worst, but they did not expect to hear such a story, and although it sounded fascinating, Blackbeard listened to it in amazement. But he still couldn't help but stammer: "My lord, I don't really understand, this is ......"
"This is my new short film called 'The Priesthood of the Holy Maiden'. Lin Taiping smiled and lit a cigar. "You know, in my distant homeland, there are many ancient and beautiful legends. For example, Sailor Moon, such as the monster Godzilla, such as the magical girl Naha...... Ahem, wait a minute, I'm going to confess for five minutes, it's really shameless. â
Blackbeard and the merchant looked at each other, not knowing what was going on, but they didn't have time to think too much about it, because their attention was quickly drawn to the light curtain on the wall.
Almost at the same time, as the narrator's voice narrated, the hue of the entire light curtain changed from black to gray and from gray to white, and finally there seemed to be something that was becoming clearer and clearer, and gradually came into everyone's sight, as if it were ...... It seems to be ...... Belch?
The next moment, at the moment when they finally saw the image in the light curtain, Blackbeard, or the merchants present, suddenly gasped in disbelief and involuntarily retreated.
The gods are above, what do we see?
Yes, to everyone's expectations, as the light curtain gradually became clearer, there was really a young priestess who appeared out of thin air, spreading her silver wings of light and floating in the void, she was wearing a gorgeous moon goddess priest's robe, holding a silver-white crescent scepter, and her face was full of righteousness.
"Demon of darkness, I am the Priestess of the Moon God of love and justice, destroying you on behalf of the Moon!"
In an instant, the room, which was still a little noisy and chaotic, suddenly became silent, Blackbeard and the merchants looked at each other with strange faces, but their eyes widened as if they were ghosts, staring at the holy maiden priestess in the light curtain screen, and even their eyes would jump out.
Why? Why is this so? Why is there a sudden appearance of a lifelike priestess of the Holy Maiden in the light curtain on the wall, her silver wings of light dancing gently, her priestly robes fluttering in the wind, her gaze is gentle and firm, her every move seems so real, as if she is really about to come out of the light curtain......
In fact, for a few seconds, Blackbeard couldn't help but reach out and try to touch the Holy Maiden Priestess in the light curtain, but in just a moment, he immediately realized that his action was an offense to the Holy Maiden Priestess, and quickly took a few steps back with a flushed face.
"Magic, is this magic?" and a few of the merchants next to him were obviously more knowledgeable, but when they realized that this might be some kind of video recording magic, they were even more shocked.
You know, in the Constance continent, there is indeed a kind of video recording magic, but the problem is that it is a spell that only a magus can understand, and this kind of spell is extremely mana-intensive, at most it is to record two or three minutes of images.
But the problem is that just from just now, the light curtain on the wall has been showing for five or six minutes, and it is still as clear as the real thing...... What the hell, could it be that this little white-faced subordinate has a very powerful magister, don't be kidding, if there really is such a magistenic, he can conquer the entire Storm Sea at any time.
Confused, shocked, and incredulous, the merchants at this moment are all caught in a chaotic and complicated situation, and in this eerie silence, the images in the light curtain continue to be projected, and a complete story gradually unfolds, drawing everyone's attention in.
Soon, the merchants forgot all kinds of complicated feelings, they stood in front of the wall in amazement, their eyes widened in disbelief, looking at the plot constantly unfolding in the light curtain, and unconsciously immersed in it.
When the little maid Shui Yue made her innocent and lovely debut, met the seriously injured pig-headed monster, and obtained a silver crystal containing the magic of the moon goddess, the merchants couldn't help but gasp in unison, sighing how could there be such an incredible adventure in the world;
When Suzuki leaves the castle and goes to the market, and encounters a demon disguised as a jewel merchant, looking at the evil smile hidden under the demon's hypocritical face, and the black scythe slowly drawn from under the cloak, the merchants can't help but feel gloomy and their hearts beat faster, and they begin to worry about the fate of the lovely Suiyue;
When Suizuki saw through the demon's conspiracy and suddenly transformed into a priest of the sacred moon goddess with the magical power of the silver crystal, the merchants in front of the light curtain were all boiling with enthusiasm, praying that Suiyue could defeat the lovely demon and save the civilians in the entire market;
In this way, the light curtain continues to show, the story continues to develop, and the merchants are completely intoxicated by the twists and turns of the plot, sometimes smiling for the innocence and loveliness of Suizuki, sometimes gritting their teeth for the viciousness of the demons, and sometimes they can't help beating their chests and complaining about why the Human Knights didn't rush to help......
"Sure enough, it was exactly what I thought. Lin Taiping watched the merchants from the sidelines, showing eight white teeth with a bad taste, yes, as he had envisioned in advance, the film format that had never appeared in the world of Contens, coupled with the relatively fresh story theme, was enough to fascinate everyone.
Think about it, when you are tired of watching those old-fashioned stage plays, and have read enough of those cookie-cutter Prince Charming stories, suddenly you see such an interesting story, and this kind of story still appears in front of you in the form of a movie, as real as fantasy...... This indescribable feeling is like a primitive person drilling wood for fire, suddenly seeing an automatic lighter.
What's more, Lilu, who plays the heroine in this movie, is a high-level succubus with natural charm, when she fully shows her natural charm, even if her acting skills are extremely young and immature, it is enough to interpret the holy maiden priest to the fullest, so that all the audience are instantly fascinated.
In fact, Lilu, who was also watching the screening, was already carried away at the moment, although she personally participated in the film and witnessed the entire filming process, but when she saw her own priest image on the light curtain, she still opened her eyes stupidly, and after a long time, her face was full of confusion: "My lord, that Shui Yue, is it really me who played it?"
"No, that's your long-lost sister. Lin Taiping rolled his eyes speechlessly, and then looked at Lilu who had already begun to think about whether she really had a sister, and finally couldn't help but pat her on the shoulder and said, "Anla, Anla, don't think so much, you just wait for those businessmen to become your first fans." â
Fans? Lilu bit her fingers in confusion, what is the fan in her heart, hmm, it seems that adults have said before that there is a delicacy called beef vermicelli pot in the far East, so that is to say, after watching this "Holy Maiden Priest", those merchants will automatically jump into the pot and serve me dinner?
Well, putting aside Lilu's digression, "The Priesthood of the Holy Maiden" at this moment has also reached the first climax-
The terrifying and evil demon Godzilla, suddenly transformed into a terrifying scythe demon, surrounded by a group of hideous demons, it wielded a huge scythe, and pounced on the water moon viciously, and the water moon that transformed for the first time was still a little uncomfortable, facing the vicious demon Godzilla, it was completely too late to dodge......
"No, damn Godzilla, don't think about that!" Seeing this scene, the merchants finally screamed angrily, and Blackbeard was even more hysterical, and directly pulled out his long sword and pounced-
"Stop, you cruel, cold-blooded bastard, all of you, with those damned demons...... Huh?" (To be continued......)
