Chapter 1020 Chapter 251. "Let the Magic Fly" Premiere
The Liberty City, divided into three forces, is approaching the new capital.
The southern direction is dominated by Francois and the Hellfire Legion, while the eastern direction is led by Little Small and the Free Blade.
The west direction is headed by the Scarlet Witch. Originally making the slowest progress, she led the fleet to bypass many towns and went straight to Woking Bay, which was about 600 miles away from the new royal capital. They began distributing leaflets in preparation for the landing.
As for the macro situation of the kingdom, the blades of freedom have ignited sparks everywhere to surround the new king's capital, and they are only waiting for the firewood that the Liberty City has turned to approach to turn them into raging flames.
Amidst this, "Let the Magic Fly", which has been circulating in the Kingdom of Rekaner for a long time, finally premiered.
To be honest, after the impact of seven magical images in Annan's three years, the public has become somewhat aesthetically tired -
Mainly because there are too many imitators, and they are all familiar masterpieces and legends. The story, and the fact that the starring role of this film is not Annan, make it difficult for Magic Image to have as far-reaching discussion as it did at the beginning.
However, relying on the reputation of "Liberty City's best, must be the best", the premiere of "Let the Magic Fly" still attracted a lot of viewers.
After watching "Let the Magic Fly", the audience was divided into two types.
In the former case, I didn’t see any metaphor, I just felt that I didn’t expect that magical images could be taken like this. The lines are sharp, fast-paced, and there is a bit of black humor, which is a level that is difficult to achieve in a remake of a classic.
The situation becomes interesting after another kind of dialogue is substituted into the dispute between Liberty City and the Kingdom of Rekaner.
They watched it for the second and third time in a short period of time, and discussed the profound meaning of each line, such as "When Alexander comes, peace will come!", "The city lord is high, the master is hard, Alexander is also High and hard!", "It's important to me without you."
As the Innocence City Post published a long article: The deep story beneath the surface story of "Let the Magic Fly". Set off a new movie-watching craze.
In the past, the nobles were people's benchmark. Whatever they did, the rich and middle class would follow suit. Now, the weather vane has become the newspapers in various cities. Now that the newspapers are praising it, those who have only watched it once but did not understand it, and those who have not seen it, have followed the trend and flocked to the theater.
They also summed up a little trick: people who are too lazy to think can understand what this magical image expresses by regarding the city of Sion and Herrit as the kingdom and king of Rekaner, and Alexander as Annan.
"Let the Magic Fly" became the last straw to overwhelm the kingdom of Rekaner. Even the children playing and yelling in the street were "Kill Herrit and rob the castle!", the nobles and The rich were ashamed to be associated with the kingdom.
Plus the kingdom really can’t help it.
For example, in order to promote themselves, they started to falsify data. For example, the economy of the Kingdom of Rekaner this month was 515 times that of Liberty City——
Anyone who can think a little knows that Rekaner How big is it? It's unfair to compare it with Liberty City, and it's 515 times... Does the Kingdom have 515 cities the size of Liberty City?
Smart people sneer and think that the data is full of water, even if a "5" is removed, it is not squeezed out.
The new issue of "Voice of Freedom" has fought back. In the joke section of this issue:
Two nobles of the Kingdom of Ruikaner went out for a walk and encountered a lump in the cold wind. Feces that were frozen hard. Two nobles made a bet that whoever could eat it would be given 10,000 gold coins. One of the nobles ran over to pick up the excrement, turned it into a excrement, and ate it elegantly with a knife and fork, earning 10,000 gold coins.
They continued to wander forward and encountered another pile of feces. They bet again, but this time another nobleman beat him to it. He smashed it with the dagger he carried and swallowed it, earning back the 10,000 gold coins he had just given out. In this way, two nobles brought 20,000 kinnars of wealth to the kingdom by eating shit.
While Liberty Voices led the charge with cynicism, the Kingdom was also busy.
Busy about making money, amassing wealth, plundering wealth, and pocketing all the money before the building is about to collapse.
When the poor ran out of money, they focused their attention on the kingdom. They used the excuse of attacking the "Freedom Blade" to beg resources from the new king's capital all day long. After eating and wiping them clean, they told the envoy that they had Annihilated all the Liberty Blades.
The soldiers fighting with the Freedom Blades on the front line roared: "You have wiped out all the Freedom Blades, then who is fighting us!?"
"The Freedom Blades are like mice. If you kill them and check them out, another one will appear," said the oily rich man.
The front line was tight, the rear was tight, and coupled with the Freedom Blade's propaganda offensive, the kingdom's soldiers surrendered in large numbers, and then turned around and took the Freedom Blade to seek revenge on the nobles who oppressed them.
When a kingdom collapses, it’s not just the enemies that are responsible – internal problems are also at fault.
The Kingdom of Ruikan'er is not without a chance. They could have sent the Legends out to suppress the troubled areas. But because of their timidity, they missed the opportunity.
You can’t blame them. The Kingdom has legends, and so does Liberty City. If you send too few, you will be easily besieged by Free City. It would be fine if both sides lost, but even the legend might have taken refuge in that "champion succubus". If you send too many, the new royal capital will become empty. The ones who were assassinated previously were only the Holy Grail Knight's retinues, but next time it might be the Holy Grail Knight.
So the nobles and knights could only huddle around the new royal capital, shrinking their heads and pretending that things outside did not exist.
An endless stream of bad news was sent to the palace like snowflakes. Crow lost his temper again and returned to laziness in the strange green light. Even so, he had had enough of that bunch of trash. Among them, the capable Young Master Olme stood out.
However, because he arrested many nobles and made too many enemies, there was constant criticism and slander among the nobles.
They found fault with him. For example, Olmei never attended parties. He was either at work or on the way to work. He confiscated the property of nobles and sent the money to the palace, asking the nobles to jointly report. They suspected Olmei Mr. Ermei is the blade of freedom.
Their words made Crowe laugh angrily: "Can't my officials have loyal and honest people?"
The more the nobles opposed it, the more Crowe supported it. Before Annan could find a hundred nobles who had defected to the Blade of Freedom, he became the deputy president of the Purification Tribunal. This position was originally not available to him and was assigned to him by the royal family alone.
Annan is not a petty person, and he temporarily puts aside these nobles who are causing trouble for him - mainly because he has been unhappy with "Rikaner Glory" who always talks nonsense for a long time.
On this day, the Vice-President of the Purification Tribunal, Mr. Olmei, came to the newspaper office of "Rikaner Glory" with a group of high-spirited subordinates.
"I am ordered by the king to investigate the collusion between "Glory of Rikaner" and the Free Blade."
