Chapter 122 121. Renamed "The Fall of the Mage Tower"
"So what exactly is the 'stage play' you are talking about?"
Mage Michael urged impatiently, and the real warrior Bronze Must wait patiently.
"Almost."
Annan looked out the window at the lawn under the sun and opened the door.
Abby, disheveled and with red cheeks, ran from the corridor holding the magic stone of record. Annan took the magic stone and returned to the study.
Michael stopped Annan when he was about to activate the recording magic stone.
"Do you really want to do..." Michael looked around at the other people in the study with a strange look on his face: "That kind of thing you did... in front of us?"
Annan: "What?"
His reaction stunned Michael: "What?"
Annan lowered his head and looked at the magic stone that Michael was holding, and understood something. His eyes gradually narrowed: "What do you mages use to record the magic stone..."
"This has nothing to do with mages. !" Michael raised his voice and argued: "Those nobles like to record things like that!"
"Do you have such a thing?"
"Yes. br>
The Wine Lady, the female dwarf and Annan looked at him with disdain.
Annan took off Michael's hand and placed the Recording Philosopher's Stone on the desk: "This is the carrier that carries this story. I call it..."
Annan wanted to say that this was a movie, but the Philosopher's Stone and electricity It doesn't matter. Phantom? It sounds like something from the evil camp...
"...Magic image."
As he spoke, Annan activated the recording magic stone.
The shaking picture was projected on the Magic Stone. The distant fence and street scene in the picture made them recognize that this was the grass outside.
Wow——
Annan drew the curtains, and the darkened study made the image clear and vivid. He looked at Della, Michael and others standing or sitting staring at the magic image, slightly distracted by this atmosphere.
A hesitant voice-over came from the Philosopher's Stone: "Do I really want to read it out?"
"Yes, follow the steps."
The girl said with a slightly trembling voice He read the narration angrily:
"On a bright midsummer morning, everything revives... This bug woke up early and climbed onto the grass blades to start today's meal. Little did it know that a predator had already set its sights on it——"
A familiar glass bottle containing a spider appeared in the magic image, and the bug fell into it.
"Continue reading..."
Annan's quiet reminder came from the video.
The girl's narration continued: "The spider caught the cunning bug and was full of food. The bug also learned a lesson at the cost of its life - that is, don't get up so early."

The image sways upwards to the sky, a hand wearing three magic rings grasps a piece of paper with scrawled writing, slowly occupying the image:
Performance
Director, screenwriter ：
Annan
Narration:
Abby
Actor:
Spider--Spider
Bug--Bug
Friendly guest appearance:
Soruman Bronzebeard Della
Annan quietly held his forehead at this time, why didn't he feel so stupid when he did it...
Fortunately, no one was there Although he didn't care, Soruman Bronzebeard couldn't wait to ask: "Am I there too? Where am I?!"
The record of the Philosopher's Stone could not be paused or rewinded, so Annan could only play it again, and then When the narrator reads "a bug caught in a spider's web," he points to a moving mass of thick brown hair emerging from the base of the guardrail in the distance.
When a dwarf is angry, his beard is as fluffy as a hedgehog's hair.
Then Annan pointed to the corner of the image when he was "satisfied" - Dela was leaning lazily in the shadow where the sun could not reach.
The Record Philosopher's Stone is the natural enemy of blind assassins like Della.
Turn off the recording of the magic stone with one less time, Annan asked their opinions: "What do you think?"
"Innocence."
"Quite interesting."
"Novel."
"I don't know."
"Great!"
Annan continued: " As a child, would you rather listen to dry stories or watch such interesting magical images? As an audience, would you rather watch actors with unrecognizable faces on a distant stage performing hard in a simple set, or a lifelike environment? The clear and bright details in it?”
Soruman Bronzebeard was combing his beard, Della was in a daze, Francois and Michael were meditating, and the wine lady was the first to realize what Annan wanted to express:
"You want this story Turn into a magical image?”
Annan raised his head slightly.
Michael wanted to say this was a genius idea. He found the scene of a spider hunting with narration interesting, but what about presenting a complete story?
Why didn't anyone think of this?
As for recording the magic stone, it was usually used to teach alchemy - the nobles who used it to record sexual intercourse never followed this point.
But the mage’s wisdom made him quickly think of the changes brought about by this kind of thing. Looking at Annan, his eyes became complicated: “You just destroyed the spinning industry and made the price of cotton almost more expensive than cotton yarn. , a sheep's wool is worth more than its meat, and now you want to destroy the theater?"
Francois stood up to ease the atmosphere: "That's not what Michael meant, he wanted to say uh... Many people are not ready for your idea."
"I'm not denying him. You can always believe in the enlightenment of a mage. We are not stubborn dwarves." Michael sighed, "I just... saw the birth of strange things that will change the things around us."
Suluman Bronzebeard fought back mercilessly: "So you are a mage? I always thought you were It’s a barbarian.”
"The theater will not be destroyed...at most it will be forced to change, just like a spinning machine." Annan said while weighing the magic stone.
The spinning machine made many people unemployed, made many people rich, made many people cry, and made many people laugh. But magic imaging is not the kind of industry that replaces human labor. The theater can be transformed into a theater that plays magical images, and stage actors can also become actors of magical images.
So, the topic naturally came to the role assignment part.
But before that, Annan still had one important thing to discuss with them: the name of the work.
The background of the story has changed, and "Titan Winchet" will obviously have to change its name.
"I first propose the Mage Tower." Annan said.
“But it lacks a sense of shock, why not call it "The Fall of the Breeze City Mage Tower"?" Francois said.
"Very good, now they have one more person to beat up."
"Then let's "The Fall of the Mage Tower"."
The name is determined, next Just actors. Ms. Wine said that as a new thing, it is best not to choose just anyone to play the role in "The Fall of the Mage Tower".
For magic images to spread, excellence and novelty alone are not enough. Young people may like to be exposed to new things, but stubborn old people are unwilling to even accept the turning of sunflowers in the garden.
So the main roles should be played by people with charisma, and there is no reason for them to give up the title of "The First Magical Image" to outsiders.
The first is the male protagonist.
