Release that Witch - Chapter 1098

[Chapter 1074 No guessing ending]

Greycastle, the old capital, and the Grand Theater in the inner city.

There was warm applause outside the study door, which meant the curtain call of another outstanding performance.

And Kakin Firth’s reading has also come to an end.

He took off his glasses, rubbed his tired eyes, then closed the script and put it back in the cabinet next to the table.

The title on the spine of the book is “Wolf Heart”.

Not only that, but the most convenient scripts in the cabinet include “Witch Tales”, “New City”, “Dawn” and so on. These were all farewell gifts from May to him before leaving Neverwinter.

Although many people in the troupe thought it was blatant sarcasm, he took it all away and took it back to the theater to read it several times.

It’s not because of how wonderful the script itself is—the creator is undoubtedly a novice, the arrangement of the scenes is also very straightforward, and he is basically at the introductory stage of telling the story clearly, but if he doesn’t do this, there will be nothing else to do. done.

Kakin found himself losing the desire to create.

As soon as he picked up the pen, the picture in the ghostly shadow would appear in his mind.

In the past, this should have belonged to the stage of the Grand Theater.

He couldn’t conceive of the actor’s position and the layout of the scene board, just like after tasting honey, it is difficult to be satisfied with the dewy sweetness.

In the phantom, the whole world has become a stage for performances, and there is no gap between the audience and the actors. This shocking scene opened a new door for him, but he was rejected later. outside the gate.

Even if he only glanced inside, Kajin couldn’t look back.

To be precise, it’s not that he doesn’t want to create anymore, but any thoughts that come up will be unconsciously put into the phantom for consideration.

For example, the close-up of the prince’s smile when he first met the princess, the bleak background that gradually distanced when the two separated… Such thoughts rushed out, almost without stopping for a moment.

Specter brought him countless things he wanted to try, but none of them were related to the theater story.

It was this kind of contradiction that made Kajin Firth feel extremely uncomfortable.

Only when he read through the script would he temporarily forget these troubles.

But he also knew that this could only be used as a relief.

May didn’t want to disclose it, and the administrative office didn’t respond…meaning that Neverwinter had completely closed the door to him. Before he found a new channel to understand, he knew that he would definitely suffer forever.

At this moment, a maid knocked on the door, “Master, there are some letters for you.”

Kajin closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair, “Let’s put it outside, I’ll look at it later.”

After the play is over, Roentgen, Eggpoe and others usually come to the study to discuss their experience and puzzles in the performance, and he intends to recover some energy before that.

“But… there is a letter with the royal family of Graycastle printed on it. You have ordered that if the letter is sent from Neverwinter, it must be delivered as soon as possible—”

Before the maid finished speaking, Kajin opened the door.

“Where is the letter?”

The latter, who was taken aback, hurriedly handed over a stack of letters, and then watched helplessly as the drama master picked out the letter from the royal family, and stuffed the other letters back.

Then the door was closed.

Ka Jin returned to the desk and eagerly took off the sealing wax.

This is a letter from the King of Wimbledon to him!

Did the other party finally know that the Kajin Troupe had been to Neverwinter and wanted to present a play for the enthronement ceremony?

If he could get in touch with the King of Graycastle, wouldn’t the phantom also be found?

He suppressed his excitement, spread the letter paper and looked down.

…

“How many roses did you receive today?” Eggpo joked on the way to the study.

“Ten or so flowers, I don’t have a detailed count,” Roentgen shrugged, “It’s less than before. Although I don’t care.”

“If those admirers hear these words, I’m afraid their hearts will be broken in two.” Eggpoe laughed loudly, “The reduction in the number is inevitable. His Majesty sent half of the nobles to the mines, and here is also It has become the old royal capital, and the people who have time to enjoy the theater are naturally not as good as before. But as long as the city is still there, everything will slowly return to its original state.”

“My opinion is that it’s good if someone still sends flowers,” Benice said with a curled lip. “There are only three troupes left in the past, and I hope we won’t become the next one.”

Roentgen’s expression also became quite emotional, “Yes, that war really changed a lot…”

“Ahem, two ladies, we also need to see the benefits.” Eggpoe coughed twice, “Isn’t the rapid expansion of the Kajin Theater Troupe due to the recruitment of those three families? We can’t control the succession of kingship. , but there have been so many times in history, and everyone still lives the same? In short, cheer up, the teacher is still waiting for us-don’t let him see us discouraged.”

When Kajin Firth was mentioned, everyone couldn’t help but nodded. That’s right, since returning from Neverwinter, the teacher seemed to have aged several years suddenly.

It’s all because of May’s refusal to disclose the origin of the phantom, and even using the possibility of secret involvement as a banner.

Now that things have come to this, they naturally have to work harder.

“Teacher, excuse me—”

Walking to the study, Eggpo pushed open the door, and then was slightly taken aback.

There seemed to be something wrong with the atmosphere in the room.

Kajin did not sit on the soft couch and wait for their arrival as before, but stood blankly in front of the table, looking absent-minded.

After a while, he looked at them, “… come in.”

“Teacher, what happened?” Benice also noticed the strangeness of the other party.

“A letter from Neverwinter, written by His Majesty the King.” Ka Jin picked up the letter paper on the desk and handed it to everyone, “You guys should read it too.”

“Is this… okay?”

“No problem.”

After being signaled, Eggpo took the letter paper.

Others immediately gathered around.

Looking at everyone’s expectant expressions, Kajin secretly sighed.

Apparently, they were thinking the same thing as when they read the letter—someone secretly blocked the transmission of the news, which caused the troupe to return to the old capital without doing anything.

Now that His Majesty knows about it, then the troublemaker should be out of luck.

But he guessed the beginning, but failed to guess the ending.

His Majesty did satisfy his curiosity, and in the letter he briefly explained the principle of the phantom – an “instrument” made and activated by the witch, which can record the scene of the incident, is the key to the phantom.

However, just having witches is not enough. It uses some remnants from the ancient times. These things are extremely rare, and they are basically hard to come by. Therefore, the “instrument” is also extremely rare, and it is a rare thing that is neither price nor market.

The other party wrote straightforwardly, “At present, it is the eve of a dangerous war. All resources in each territory must serve the survival of Graycastle first, and the Specter is no exception. You must have seen the shock it brings. In spreading ideas, It plays an extremely important role in promoting awareness, so it is a pity that it cannot be used in dramas that have nothing to do with national policy for the time being.”

“However, this situation will not last forever. After the kingdom ushers in real peace, phantom shadows will eventually become a new form of drama that everyone can shoot. By then, I believe that you and your troupe will be able to stay. Excellent work.”

If this is the case, it can only be regarded as helpless at best.

It’s a pity that His Majesty doesn’t really think so.

He had been notified by the administrative office from the very beginning, and the person who rejected the new script was none other than His Majesty Roland Wimbledon himself.

That’s what hit Kakin the hardest.

Offering congratulatory gifts for the king’s enthronement turned out to be nothing more than his wishful thinking.

In fact, the other party didn’t take the preparations of the Kajin Troupe seriously at all. If even the carefully crafted new drama couldn’t catch the king’s eyes, then the letter’s rhetoric of “leaving a masterpiece” was just a cliché.

Not only was he self-righteous, but he also indirectly hurt May.
