Chapter 536 193. Watching magic images with the Demon Lord
“The great magic stone, this is the Demon Lord I brought to you...”
No luck this time Avoiding the flame shadow, Annan directly offered the magic stone.
The flame phantom stood in front of him. Annan seemed to feel its half-smiling emotion, and then obediently activated the first magic stone.
Otherwise I would be beaten if I didn’t bring the magic stone, and I would be beaten if I brought the magic stone. Wouldn’t the magic stone be a waste?
There is no sign, and the magical image begins abruptly. The flame phantom's attention fell on the image, and Annan followed and watched it together.
To be honest, after excluding the magic images that seduce the audience with emotions, the remaining magic images are almost all visualizations of various famous works. They have popular or touching beautiful stories, but because of their lame The graphics and special effects make people laugh.
Annan always glanced at the flame shadow anxiously because these things appeared from time to time. Surprisingly, it still looked at it with interest.
The Demon Lord seems to be surprisingly easy to fool...
The first Philosopher's Stone lasts only thirty minutes, but its plot is wonderful: devout believers who believe in two different gods at the same time He made a wish to marry Maria, a girl in the town. In order to fulfill the believer's wish, the two gods started a divine war. The fight was bloody and they almost died. The final outcome was that both gods were injured, and who among the two believers was Nor did he marry Maria, because Maria was a believer in another god - she vowed to devote her life to the god.
It's just the effect... Annan guessed that the special effects when the three gods appeared and fought were created by a mage apprentice using magic.
The second Magical Image is a bit smarter, they put the title of the work at the beginning: "Seven Days of Death".
The plot is that a vicious wizard sells a cursed magic necklace, claiming that it will make the person wearing the necklace die after the seventh day. And he was able to take advantage of the opportunity to collect souls and escape legal punishment. On this day, a young child came to his magic house and took out a dozen copper coins to buy a cursed magic necklace. The wizard who needed a soul generously sold the magic necklace to the boy, and then quietly followed the boy to his dilapidated home, where he saw the boy putting the necklace on his mother who obviously would not survive the night...
Next It's the story of a wizard who cured a boy's mother, and then was slowly touched by the boy and took back the curse.
There is a touch of affection between the wizard and the boy. The simplicity and shaking of the picture unexpectedly brought out the reality of this emotion... but the story that could have been told in one hour was stretched to a lengthy three hours. One of the scenes where a boy goes home was actually filmed as he walked for twenty minutes...it can be called "art".
Art that Allen Continent cannot accept for the time being.
Thank God the flame phantom didn't hit himself.
Annan, who had not been beaten for three hours and thirty minutes, activated the third magic stone.
The third Magic Image has no name. The plot is about a smart fool holding an artifact that threatens the Tatooine Empire. He demands that the Empire pay a ransom of 100 gold coins, and then makes a bunch of ridiculous stories.
Annan actually saw many well-designed jokes in it. I don’t know whether it was the original work that was written well or the adaptation.
But no matter how funny the story was, it couldn't make the flame shadow laugh. Annan could only cover his mouth to prevent himself from laughing.
The magic image continued to play. At first Annan was standing, and then he was sitting on the ground.
The flaming shadow next to him has never communicated with Annan, which made him wonder, is this existence really the Demon King?
After the last magic stone was shown, it was not long before I woke up.
Annan raised his head, and the flame phantom lowered his head. As if feeling dissatisfied, it suddenly turned into an afterimage and knocked Annan away.
Annan escaped from the dream in mid-air and returned to reality. The trembling of his subconscious caused the magic stone in his arms to roll down. Lily was also woken up and made a coquettish meow.
"I told you not to come to my room recently." Annan stroked Lily's hair helplessly, blaming the poor viewing experience for the demon king's final blow away. Anyway, he had a good rest last night and was able to meditate for another three days.
Arriving at the restaurant downstairs, Ingrid arrived shortly after.
"What should I do today?" Annan asked her.
"Accompany Mrs. Orlok on a tour of Liberty City."
"...Me?"
"Or me?" Ingrid stared at Annan, "You promised her yesterday. ”
Annan then rang out the promise made at the banquet... It seems that even if there is meditation to support it, it is best not to exceed five days.
But there is also good news, that is, Annan has almost forgotten Mrs. O'Rourke's ugly appearance in the box, as long as she does not deliberately think about it...
For his own safety, Annan asked the elf mentor to take the form of Losey and accompany him and Mrs. O'Rourke on their trip. He even skipped the theater and just wandered the shopping streets.
Mrs. O'Rourke took a fancy to the corset behind the display window, but was a little dissatisfied: "It should be a little thinner."
Annan looked at the corset on the clay model. Now It just makes the waist show a healthy circumference. If it gets thinner...
"That doesn't look good, Mrs. O'Rourke." Annan said sincerely, "I think a woman's beauty depends on her fullness. Being morbidly thin will only hurt yourself.”
In the end, Mrs. Orlok only spent a few dozen gold coins on her morning tour in Liberty City... their specialties were not that much.
"I feel like I am being washed and purified here." Mrs. O'Rourke's evaluation came from the bottom of her heart.
Whether it is physical or spiritual - the streets here are spotless, there are no beggars, and there are almost no exploitation and power struggles - because all rights are firmly held by Annan and the people around him.
Nobles who liked Annan described him as making sure the city ran according to his ideas. Neutral nobles described Annan as treating Liberty City as a territory, and he was a lord who said the same thing. Nobles who hated Annan described him as an apparently impartial dictator.
The envoys of the Principality of Keating said that he was the second Mad Dog Grand Duke - the Principality of Keating seemed to be schizophrenic, and the finance minister was showing favor to Annan, but the envoys worked hard to make Annan hate them.
The reason is simple, nobles will never admit their mistakes.
Annan wanted Evelin to put this sentence in the magic newspaper, but thinking of Mrs. O'Rourke's bad reputation, he gave up.
When they finally parted, Mrs. O'Rourke just looked at Annan lovingly. She didn't make any intimate gestures during the shopping process, as if she didn't want to touch that pure soul with her aging and dirty body... But it didn't matter. , there is always an elf doing this for her.
In the living room on the second floor of the City Lord's Mansion, Annan grabbed the hand of the elf mentor and rubbed it back and forth on his face: "Didn't you say that the royal court entrusted you with two things? What is the second thing?"
