Chapter 136 Chapter 135. Preview
Abby sees her new life in her eyes.
Since becoming a member of the Manor, it gets better every day. There is no complicated work, no need to worry about the younger brother, although new worries have been added - cleaning the ogre and worrying about the younger brother playing with the ogre.
But both myself and my brother have more and more smiles on their faces.
Master Annan never criticizes his servants harshly, he does not have an oppressive dignity, and he will not beat, scold or scare people. In order not to bring danger to the manor, he even pitched a tent outside the mage tower...
Would such a person be a fake noble? Then she would rather Breeze City is full of fake nobles!
But Abby did not dare to tell Annan the truth because she was worried that the peaceful life in front of her would be shattered like a bubble.
Concerned, Abby continued to help the ogre wipe his body.
"Where are you wiping?"
The rough whisper brought Abby back to her senses, and she apologized shyly and pulled out the towel and arm.
"It doesn't matter, continue."
......
Annan was discussing the price with Michael and others in the study.
First exclude Soruman Bronzebeard’s 100 gold coins, and then exclude Francois’s 10 copper coins.
“Then 90 gold coins!”
"How about 1 copper coin?"
Before they continued to cause trouble, Annan had to talk about the cost:
The recording magic stone can only be used ten times, not counting the consumption of recording magic images once for the time being.
Because of the relationship between Annan and the Mage Tower, the price of the recorded magic stone should be suppressed to 10 to 15 gold. Assuming that there are 100 viewers for each "Mage Tower Down" show, a price of 10 to 15 silver coins will make Magic Image profitable.
But the people in the city who are willing to spend ten silver coins are about the same as those who are willing to spend one gold coin - in other words, the price of 10 silver coins filters out most of the people in Breeze City.
One silver coin would make many people in Breeze City willing to try something new, but it would be difficult to gather 1,000 spectators.
In the end, Annan decided to price the tickets at 1 silver coin, and then use the constant recording magic stone, which was ten times the price of the ordinary recording magic stone, and could not lower the price.
Ticket prices seem to be on the low side, the stage show ticket costs 5 silver coins. Even if half of the people in Breeze City go to see "The Fall of the Mage Tower", they will earn at most two to three thousand gold coins - but just like the theater's stage plays are always those popular stories but never lack of audiences, Annan is confident that "The Mage Tower Has Fallen" "The Fall" will make them watch it several times or even a dozen times.
This is a long-term business.
And he also adopted Soruman Bronzebeard’s suggestion: the portion of 100 gold coins.
Sell the Fall of the Mage Tower Record Philosopher's Stone signed by Jack, Rose, or any character for 100 gold.
There should be many nobles willing to collect them. And the ordinary record of the Sorcerer's Stone means that they have watched it nine times. If they still want to watch it, they have to spend 100 gold coins to buy a new Sorcerer's Stone...
The premiere venue was the obvious choice at the Benitez Grand Theater.
Annan asked Francois to lobby the theater owners, and Tina Wright rushed to complete the final part.
But the shameless baron hit a wall at the theater - the theater owner refused to rent the theater, saying that he would never allow anything other than stage plays to enter the theater.
Annan had no choice but to go to the theater in person. Along the streets, he frequently saw caravans filled with harvest being transported into Breeze City.
Less than half a month is left before the real autumn harvest in the vast vastness, and there are only five days left before the countdown to the apocalypse forecast.
During this period, the ratmen were still frequently invading around Breeze City, but the city guards who had been trained by the scavengers began to become familiar with the rhythm of fighting the ratmen, and the "after being scratched by the ratmen and returning home" would not happen again. The tragedy of corruption killing family members.
During this period, Augusta Olmedo did not cause any more trouble, otherwise "The Fall of the Mage Tower" would not have been completed so smoothly.
Annan and Michael came to the theater and saw the theater owner, Honatan Mays, in the office.
After the polite remarks, Honatan Mace asked Annan why he wanted to create the magical image.
"The attack caused heavy losses to the family, and we need money to survive the coming winter."
In order to promote the magic images, Annan also demonstrated the record in front of Honatan Metz Philosopher's Stone, but Annan misjudged Honatan Metz's conservatism and persistence, and fiercely resisted Annan, saying that he would not allow such a thing to appear in the theater.
Annan said that magical images will not replace stage plays, but Honattan Metz does not believe it - magical images will indeed not replace stage plays, but will only become a better choice than stage plays.
Have to find other ways. In the evening, Annan, who returned to his felt tent, officially completed the editing of "The Fall of the Master's Tower".
“Can I watch it now?” Michael couldn’t wait.
“Don’t be impatient.”
Before the premiere, Annan planned to invite everyone who participated in the production of "The Fall of the Master's Tower" to watch the preview.
Well...it's not a banquet.
In the afternoon of the next day, Annan and all the actors came to the temporary tent.
Annan put down the recording magic stone with some expectation and anxiety.
The mottled and faded magical image slowly emerged as the choir of Fortune Church sang -
Three hours later, the magical image gradually dimmed.
Annan opened the curtain and let the light shine into the felt tent. But people are still not free from the dream-like story.
Returning to the Magic Stone, everyone looked at him and suddenly seemed to have returned to the eternal mage tower in Breeze City.
"This is the art we created... What do you think?"
Annan has seen from everyone's reaction that the magic image has been accepted by everyone.
There was silence in the felt tent for a few seconds, and a mage playing the role of a noble stumbled and said: "I...I don't know what to say..."
"I'm trying to imagine it. Great, but..." Another voice sounded.
Francois stroked his goosebumps and wanted to say something, and Andrew Luna made an ancient ritual to pay tribute to Annan: "I am honored to be a participant in this great work."
These spellcasters, Nobles and actors praised him one after another.
Annan suppressed his pride and expressed some regret: "I originally wanted to prepare a premiere and invite the nobles of Breeze City to enjoy the magical images, but the theater rejected me... Unfortunately, there is no way. Let the nobles witness our performance together..."
"That Honatan? I'll deal with him!"
There was a noise in the felt tent.
Now the location of the premiere is no longer an issue.
“It’s so beautiful!!!”
The excited shout suddenly attracted an elite mage who stood up and said: King of the North! What would it cost me to have a magical image! "
"I'm ready. You can buy the magic stone recording "The Fall of the Mage Tower" for 100 gold coins. "
"I want one! ”
"King of the North, please be sure to leave one for me!"
"I want it too!"
At this moment, the felt tent sounded like a market with noisy buying sounds.
"Boy!" The old master stood up and snorted coldly at Annan, and was helped out of the felt tent by the tear-stained old maid.
"What did he want to say?" Michael didn't understand.
"I guess he wants one too."
"King of the North, how did I behave?"
After everyone left the felt tent, the elite mage came to Annan asked beside him.
“The phrase ‘it’s so pretty’ is a little exaggerated.”
