"Because of his temperament, young man. We are all people who have seen the Witch King. We know very well what kind of person he is."
However, Lord Blood Demon also stepped forward before Tresis. He circled around Black Key with great interest, his eyes flashing with a hint of nostalgia for this outfit. However, he was somewhat dissatisfied with Black Key as the actor, and said:
"I finally understand why Director Chen Qi invited us to give you guidance. Although you are now dressed up as the Witch King, you don't have the temperament of a Witch King at all. If Director Chen Qi wants to shoot a movie about the Witch King, your performance will be very important."
"What's the difference?" Hei Jian was a little unconvinced when he heard this. He turned his head and looked at the Blood Demon Lord, but the Blood Demon Lord shook his head and said:
"Let's not talk about your aura, the way you speak, even your accent is not like the Witch King. Can you play the role of the Witch King well? You are too naive, a child with the blood of the Witch King in your body."
"you--"
Hei Jian was also shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that the Blood Demon Lord could see through his true colors at a glance. However, the Blood Demon Lord, whose habit of "loving to teach others" is getting worse, said without hesitation:
"Don't be surprised, kid. From an acting perspective, I only have one year more experience than you, but in terms of experience, knowledge, and insights, I have at least ten thousand years more than you."
"You have the blood of the Witch King in your body, and even some of his power, but you are not the Witch King yet. If you want to play him well, you must first understand him, then imitate him, and finally become him."
"It just so happens that I have met the Witch King. I quite admire him. He is very similar to our Sarkaz in many ways. As an enemy, he is naturally terrifying, but from the perspective of a confidant, he is a good friend."
"Perhaps, I could help you learn more about the person you are going to play and what kind of person he is. Do you have any books about the Witch King?"
"…Those are banned books. In Leithania, anyone who spreads any knowledge related to the Witch King will be sentenced to severe punishment." Black Key did not take Blood Demon Lord's words of "becoming the Witch King" seriously. He did not want to be the Witch King at all, and now he agreed to play the role of the Witch King very reluctantly.
The Blood Demon Lord was not surprised by this, and then he muttered to himself:
"It looks like... we have to say hello to the twin queens - Chen Qi, a friend of the Sarkaz, can you borrow your name to let us check the records of our old friend?"
"...I'll let Tallulah take you there." Chen Qi also nodded. He agreed reluctantly to the Blood Demon Lord's attitude that he didn't treat him as an outsider at all. He felt that since he played in "Yes, Prime Minister", the Blood Demon Lord's desire to perform seemed to be stimulated, and now he likes to guide people more and more.
As for the Witch King, the Blood Demon Lord knew quite a bit. Therefore, when Black Key, a city in Letania, seemed to know the Witch King less than he did, he, who was originally only there to protect Tracys, immediately took the initiative to take on the job.
However, this is not a bad thing for Chen Qi. The Blood Demon Lord can indeed play a key role for Black Key, such as helping him understand the life of the Witch King and thus better integrate into the role.
"Well then, Tracy, I'll leave it to you to teach the Black Key Uppers the spirit."
"Don't worry, I estimate that in half a month, this child will be able to learn it properly." Tracys nodded, and immediately followed the Blood Demon Lord who had taken the Black Key away. Before leaving, he suddenly remembered something and said:
"By the way, Director Chen Qi, Wang Mei's condition has improved. As her brother, I would like to thank you for your help."
"Also, the princess asked me to bring you something. I wonder if you'd like to hear it."
"What about Theresa?" Chen Qi also blinked. He was sure that Theresis didn't know that his sister had been resurrected, but now it seemed that Theresa was slowly showing her recovering side.
It seems that one day in the future, after Theresa is fully "recovered", the Sarkaz clan will be able to usher in a situation where two kings rule together. In this case, the restoration of Kazdel will be just around the corner, which is also good news for Chen Qi.
But, why did Theresa specifically ask Tracys to deliver a message at this time? If she had anything to say, couldn't she just send it to him on her phone? Why did she need to let Tracys know specifically?
"Yes." Tracy nodded, a smile appeared on his stern face for the first time in a long time, and he said in a more relaxed tone:
"The princess said, 'The Sarkaz have no way to repay the kindness, and the only thing left is the last national treasure. Director Chen Qi, please feel free to take it.'"
"Director Chen Qi, I have delivered Wang Mei's message. I will take my leave now."
After saying that, Tracy immediately followed the Blood Demon Lord's footsteps, leaving Chen Qi alone standing there in a daze. After a long time, he felt that he seemed to have seen this move somewhere before...
This national treasure...Isn't it what he thought it was? Chen Qi's dead childhood memory suddenly began to attack him, and he immediately thought of the chapter about the Kingdom of Women in Journey to the West. With this combination, Chen Qi seemed to understand what Theresa meant...
"——Chen Qi?"
At this moment, the familiar voice of Tallulah suddenly came from behind Chen Qi. Chen Qi subconsciously turned his head and immediately threw Theresa's words behind his mind, and hurriedly asked:
"Tallulah, what's wrong?"
"…Questions about the filming of The Return of the Witch King."
Tallulah noticed that Chen Qi looked a little strange, but she didn't point it out. She just handed the planning sheet in her hand to Chen Qi and asked, "Are you sure we only need two photographers? We are making a movie."
"Yes, although we are making a movie, the subject matter this time is different. It is called a comedy, but we want to shoot it in the style of a documentary."
Returning to work, Chen Qi promptly responded to Tallulah's question: "We need to record the true reactions of the people of Leitania, and the photographer must switch between invisible and visible states at any time."
"——Teacher, I think I can do it!"
At this moment, Vina, who had been reading a copy of the Great Yan Literacy Book, stood up immediately after hearing Chen Qi's words. She came to Chen Qi and pleaded:
"As the crown prince, I must listen to the voices of the people, even those of Leithania. Please give me this opportunity to go with you and let me gain some experience!"
"...Vina is indeed suitable. Chen Qi, she has been helping the crew recently. Shuangxing has arranged several filming jobs for her." Seeing Vina's initiative to recommend herself, Tallulah also said to Chen Qi: "She is very familiar with the equipment, so it would be good to bring her along."
"Well... okay then." Chen Qi nodded at the moment, and then suddenly remembered something, and had another candidate in mind. He immediately said to Eureka, who was fiddling with his phone not far from the ship:
"Eureka! The job of the second photographer is now yours! Is that okay?"
"Eh? Me, me?"
And Eureka, who was originally playing games, did not expect that Chen Qi would actually choose her. After she joined the crew, she was nominally there to shoot the behind-the-scenes, but in fact she was just eating for free when she had nothing to do. Now that Chen Qi wants to use her, he naturally has his reasons.
Along the way, Chen Qi and his team will conduct completely real interviews, and Eureka's physique may allow them to see more explosive topics and events, which will facilitate their subsequent editing.
Now, "The Return of the Witch King", a documentary shot in the name of comedy with the least number of people, has gradually begun to get on track. Chen Qi now only needs to wait for Black Key's "rebirth" to play the most important role of the Witch King, and then he can begin!
Chapter 247: Twin Queens: Why don't the Leithanians fight the Witch King when they see him?
"Doctor Kelsey, you said... Director Chen Qi wants to shoot a movie about the Witch King. Is that really okay?"
Half a month passed quickly. During this time, Rhodes Island was providing medical care for injured civilians every day. The riots of the remnants of the Witch King were staged every day in Leithania. The medical systems of many mobile cities were temporarily paralyzed, and the arrival of Rhodes Island also solved the urgent needs of the local area.
What worries Amiya now is the situation on Chen Qi's side. She feels uneasy about the movie "The Return of the Witch King" that Chen Qi is preparing. Especially when she thinks about Black Key walking on the street dressed as the Witch King, she is a little afraid of what will happen.
And now Kal'tsit is also worried about the same thing. After some thought, she murmured to herself:
"During this period, Director Chen Qi specially invited Tracys and Lord Blood Demon to borrow information about the Witch King from the Leitania Library, and has been teaching Black Key the essentials of playing the Witch King."
"The Gemini Queen did agree, but she has secretly asked the people of the 'Voice of the Queen' to monitor their every move. Apparently, the Gemini Queen has the same concerns as us."
Kal'tsit thought about it carefully. She didn't think Chen Qi would collude with the remnants of the Witch King. Those organizations were not worthy of colluding with Chen Qi. Chen Qi's identity as a giant beast made it unlikely that he would have any communication with the Witch King. The Witch King has always been ruthless to any existence that would pose a threat to him.
Moreover, with just the "Voice of the Queen", even if Rhodes Island was added, even if Chen Qi really wanted to cause trouble, they would not be able to stop him. After some consideration, Kal'tsit immediately said:
"Our mission is to assist Leithania and provide medical assistance to the mobile cities in the worst-hit areas. Most of the mobile cities that Chen Qi and his team are going to are places where the remnants of the Witch King are quite active, and they are also the places we need to provide assistance to first."
"Didn't Director Chen Qi say that a few extras would be needed at any time? Then we will follow Chen Qi and his ship, just to prevent the Witch King played by Black Key from causing a bigger riot, and be prepared in advance."
"Yes! If there is such a reason, we can not only help Director Chen Qi, but also aid the wounded!" Amiya also nodded heavily, and she strongly agreed with Kal'tsit's plan.
So, after Kal'tsit and Amiya made their decision, Rhodes Island also began to follow Chen Qi's ship. However, before that, Chen Qi and his team still needed to finish filming the first scene in the capital of Leithania before they could set off to the other mobile cities where the remnants of the Witch King were active.
Chen Qi specially selected a "scenic spot" - after the Witch King was defeated by the Twin Queens and fell from the tower to his death, his body was also displayed to the public. And the location where Chen Qi and his group were was the place where the Witch King's body was displayed to the public.
Today, the platform where the Witch King's body was originally hung has been demolished, leaving only a small park. Chen Qi and others also came here, ready to shoot the first scene of "The Witch King is Back".
Not far away, Bai Ke was seen wearing rather cheap clothes. He looked rather shabby, and even his hair was a little messy. However, it still couldn't hide his handsome face and gentle smile.
He was discussing something with several children from Leitania. There was a camera propped up next to him. Bai Ke said to the children:
"Well, please help me. Please help me shoot this scene. You can appear in the movie. Just play football well."
"Well, we'll do it!"
After receiving a few candies, the three Leitanian children immediately agreed to join in the filming of Bai Chalk, who claimed to be a film crew member. However, they didn't know that the filming they were going to join was not the movie that Bai Chalk was filming now. There were more invisible cameras around them, filming a movie that they could not imagine.
During the filming, a child's ball suddenly veered off course and rolled into the small garden behind him. Three children immediately went to pick up the ball, but they immediately saw a tall figure with his back to them and wearing a rather tattered robe slowly standing up from the garden.
"Who is this homeless guy?"
"Are you all right sir?"
The three children looked at the figure facing away from them. Having not experienced that era, they did not react at all to the figure, but just felt that it looked a little familiar.
But the first thing they noticed was the tattered robe and the black dust, as if it had been burned, and it also emitted a very pungent and unpleasant smell. Their first reaction was that this was a drunk homeless man who slept in the garden last night.
As the three children finished speaking, the figure turned around slightly with a slight stagger... The three children soon saw that the burly figure slowly turned around, revealing clothes that gradually became familiar to them, and a forbidden face that seemed to be shattered, with only half of the mask covering it.
At this moment, the three children finally remembered where they had seen this person before. The person who turned around at this moment was none other than Black Key, who played the Witch King in the movie who had just traveled to the modern era and knew nothing about the current situation.
However, now, although Black Key only showed half of his face, his eyes were a little confused, and his clothes looked awkward, but the moment he looked directly at the camera, everyone felt Black Key's transformation - at that moment, it was as if he was not playing the role of the Witch King, but the Witch King who had really traveled through time!
It was a wonderful aura. Hei Jian's eyes were dazed and uncertain at first, as if he was still immersed in the duel with the Gemini Queens the second before. But the moment he saw the children, there was a bit more relief in his eyes, and he regained some dignity.
Children are the future of a country. As the former ruler of Leithania, the Witch King would naturally show such an expression and performance when facing children who could not threaten him at all and also represented the future of the country.
"It seems that the training effect over the past half month is quite significant."
Through the camera, Chen Qi, who was watching Black Key's performance on the ship, was also sitting with Tracys, Blood Demon Lord and others. Black Key's first performance after officially appearing on camera perfectly portrayed the charm of everything.
It can be said that even if the Witch King really traveled through time as in the script, his reaction would not be much different from Black Key's current reaction.
"Of course, Director Chen Qi, we have been training this child painstakingly for a period of time in order to let him interpret the essence of the Witch King."
While drinking the blood in the cup that came from nowhere, the Blood Demon Lord nodded to Black Key's performance and said softly, "In order to make him act out the panic of the Witch King falling from the tower and dying, I also fought with him and made him collapse. He looks so miserable, but he is really weak and powerless."
"But even so, the effect is far from satisfactory. The time is really too tight. He can only interpret 50% of the charm of the Witch King."
"The blood in his body resonates with the Witch King. When the Prime Minister and I tell him about the Witch King's deeds, he always learns very quickly. If we are given another half a month, we can make him at least 70% as good as him."
"Fifty percent is enough." At this time, Tracys also shook his head and said seriously: "Although the blood of the Witch King in his body is dormant, if the 'Voice of the World' is really activated, he may really become the vessel of the Witch King's clone."
"And in the process of teaching him, the child was somewhat influenced by his bloodline... He adapted quickly. As for the majestic side of the Witch King, it is definitely enough for a movie now."
Back to the filming, Black Key asked the children a few questions in a daze, but in the end, the children did not seem to really regard Black Key as the Witch King. After all, everyone knew that the Witch King was dead, and the actions of the Witch King's remnants for so long had made the word "Witch King" gradually heard more and more by the public.
Chen Qi was the first person to bring the Witch King to the big screen, but Black Key was not the first person to COS the Witch King. Long before Black Key, the remnants of the Witch King or some Leithanians who simply admired the strong had also played similar operations. The news of "the resurrection of the Witch King" has always been a hot topic on the Internet in Leithania.
However, anyone who dares to do so will be arrested immediately, no matter who they are. Right now, the defense of Leithania is under strain, and most of them are busy suppressing riots. The sudden appearance of a person who seems to be COSing the Witch King also surprised the children, but they did not take it seriously.
The Witch King played by Black Key did not get the help of the children, so he had to walk towards the street. At this moment, Chen Qi immediately picked up the intercom and said to Vina and Eureka:
"Follow Black Key immediately. This time, stay invisible and record the real reactions of passers-by!"
"Okay, teacher (director)!" X2
Vina and Eureka immediately picked up the camera and followed behind Black Key to film. Black Key also knew this. After fighting with the Blood Demon Lord, he was still extremely weak and barely kept walking on the street, and by the way, he looked at the changes around him with a blank face.
Slowly, he walked to the square. Everyone around him looked at him with surprise, curiosity, and panic. Hei Jian himself was a little worried that he would be attacked.
But soon, Hei Jian's shoulder was patted. Just when Hei Jian thought he was going to be hit, he saw a Leitanian citizen suddenly put his arm around his shoulders, raised his mobile phone, and pressed the camera button under the confused gaze of Hei Jian.
And this was like turning on a button. Soon, one after another, citizens of Leitania began to follow the first person's example and started taking selfies with the Black Key. There were also many people around taking pictures of the Black Key, intending to post them online to show off today's strange events.
"Nice to meet you. Go to hell with the Witch King." After taking the photo, a middle-aged man shook hands with Black Key enthusiastically and made a joke before leaving.
"Hello, Witch King!" Some young people thought Black Keys' behavior was particularly cool, and even saluted Black Keys while taking selfies... no, they saluted the Witch King.
"What are you doing running back from hell? Are you planning to go back to the tower for revenge? Hahahaha!"
The people of Leithania were curious and teasing, but there was no anger and violence as Black Key had imagined... This surprised Black Key a little, but he slowly felt that what Chen Qi said might be right.
Now the expansion of the actions of the remnants of the Witch King, along with the deteriorating lives of the people of Leithania, has quietly influenced and condoned behaviors that were considered absolute taboos more than a decade ago... He is obviously not the first person to do this, and the public seems to understand why he does it.
But for some reason, Black Key felt an inexplicable fear... Leitania, once regarded as the epitome of devil, hatred and terror, seemed to be accepted by the people?
What... is going on? Has the situation in Leitania become so bad?
……
At the same time, in the high tower, a spy from the Queen's Voice came to the Gemini Queen's throne and knelt on one knee. Upon seeing this, the white-haired Queen immediately asked:
"The filming of Chen Qi is already underway, right? That Black Key should be wandering the streets in the costume of the Witch King."
"Yes, I came to report immediately after seeing it." The spy of the Queen's Voice also said immediately, and the voice of the black-haired queen also came slowly:
"…So, did a riot break out? Did the city defense forces rush to stop it immediately?"
"..."
However, the words of the black-haired queen made the spy who saw that scene speechless. After an unknown amount of time, the spy swallowed his saliva and reported to the twin queens:
“Your Majesty, I dare not hide the truth… but there was no riot in the square. In fact… the people were taking photos with the Witch King. It seemed that there was no large-scale unrest.”
"——What?"
However, as soon as the spy finished speaking, the Gemini Queen subconsciously asked a question in return. After a long silence, when the Gemini Queens looked at each other, they suddenly had almost the same feeling as the Black Key in the square.
They felt that the Witch King, whom they had been trying to avoid mentioning as much as possible over the past twenty years, did not seem to be forgotten with the passage of time - it even had the opposite effect. The more they banned something, the more familiar people seemed to be with the banned existence!
At this moment, Black Key's experience made the Gemini Queens feel a truth more intuitively... The Witch King is dead, but everything he left behind is not dead yet.
His name, like a ghost, has quietly lingered in everyone's mind amid the deteriorating situation in Leitania, reminding the people of Leitania of this name that once brought fear, but also brought temporary strength and prestige...
Chapter 248: Could Black Key awaken the bloodline of the Witch King?
When the people of Leitania saw the Witch King played by Black Key appear in front of them, they did not riot as the Gemini Queens had expected. In fact, the people did not reject the appearance of the "Witch King", but were very interested in him... This was naturally not a good thing for the Gemini Queens and Leitania.
Twenty years have passed since the Witch King fell from the tower and died. In the past twenty years, under the policy of the twin queens, the Witch King's brutal rule and the sacrifices behind it have been constantly publicized and exposed, so that the people of Leithnia can know as much as possible how the "Witch King" they revered was ruling them with cruel means.
