I am a director in Ark. If I am not banned, I will be considered successful.

Obviously, some people know that the Witch King is cruel, most of them are persecuted infected people, or people who are forced to become infected voluntarily. However, the general impression of the Witch King by non-infected people and nobles who have not been persecuted in time is that "he doesn't seem so bad."

Everyone in Leithania knew that the Witch King was cruel, but he seemed even more cruel to his enemies. One thing that was undeniable was that, at least during the reign of the Witch King, Leithania's development reached a peak - whether in terms of the economy on paper or in terms of politics and military, the Witch King brought Leithania's development to new heights.

Even if one day later, he suddenly went crazy and began to expand the territory of Leitania frantically, frequently declaring wars, invading, and colonizing foreign countries... He still did not neglect any of Leitania's internal affairs.

In other words, if the national strength had not been enhanced by a series of reforms left behind by the Witch King before he went mad, how could Leithania have supported the Witch King's subsequent expansion plans?

What's more, after the Witch King started his expansion plan, most of the people of Leithania were supportive, especially the Leithanian army under the Witch King. At that time, their combat effectiveness was at its peak. Under the prestige of the Witch King, the offensive of the Leithanian army and the Warlock Corps was unstoppable.

Otherwise, do you think that the Leithanian army, which is now regarded as "weak and weak" by patriots, can really compete with the powerful countries of Victoria, Gaul, Iberia, etc.? They were also powerful countries in the past. The evaluation by patriots was the Leithanian army after the death of the Witch King.

Moreover, a very crucial point is that the Witch King's cruelty is a recognized fact, and it is also a concept that the Gemini Queens have been claiming for the past twenty years.

However, twenty years ago, even though Leithania won the War of the Four Emperors and the country became devastated, the Witch King was eventually overthrown not because of any so-called riot. Any infected person who was oppressed and exploited by him did not have such power. In the end, the Witch King was defeated by the twin queens chosen by the emperors.

This is crucial, and is the biggest reason why Leitania’s situation today is similar to Victoria’s, but the approach is completely different!

Emperor Victoria was beheaded by the people, but the Witch King was overthrown after an internal decision among the emperors and princes. The people of Leithnia only realized that the Witch King's rule had been overthrown after they saw his body being hung the next day.

Therefore, for the people of Leithania, the death of the Witch King was due to the failure of the political struggle, but not the "will of the people" - of course, even if it was the will of the people, they did not have the power to overthrow the Witch King.

The reign of the Twin Queens was good at the beginning, but in the current special circumstances, after the expedition to the devastated Victoria was thwarted and a humiliating armistice was signed, the effect of the propaganda of the remnants of the Witch King was completely different.

"When our Witch King ruled, the Leithanian army was invincible!"

"During the reign of the great Witch King, we stood at the pinnacle of this land!"

"Have we ever suffered such humiliation? During the reign of the Witch King, even Gaul was destroyed by our army. Now we have to cede land and pay compensation to Victoria's group of Philin?!"

——All these remarks were made after the failure of this expedition. The long-dormant small problems in Leitania broke out under certain circumstances and became a stone that shook their rule.

This is why, after learning about Leithania's situation, Chen Qi had no hesitation in letting Black Key dress up as the Witch King and walk onto the streets openly. He didn't even give the public the feeling that they were filming a movie. All of this was the public's real reaction.

Facing the crowd, Black Key was very confused about the fact that everyone had no resistance to the "Witch King". For this reason, he took the initiative to find a clown actor in the square and immediately asked: "Where is the tower?"

"Tell me where I am. The fate of the Leitanian people hangs in the balance, and I must go and change everything—"

"Are you crazy? I'm performing—" Black Key said something that he himself didn't believe. However, after the clown's performance was interrupted, his first reaction was to scold him. But when he looked at Black Key, he was also a little surprised and said quickly:

"Hey, isn't that the Witch King? That's cool, bro!"

"You said you were looking for the tower? It's right there. But if I were you, I would never dare to hang around there dressed like that, haha!"

The clown actor teased Black Key without any hesitation, and obviously regarded him as a simple COS Witch King. Even though he offended the other party while he was working, he did not get any disgusted reaction, which made Black Key fall into a brief trance.

Why? This is the capital of Leithania! Are the people under the eyes of the Twin Queens not disgusted by his appearance?

What changes had taken place during the months he had been in the tower?

Black Key was a little confused. He walked forward subconsciously and finally found a Rhodes Island operator who Chen Qi had specifically instructed to act with him before setting off - he remembered her name was Eyjafjalla?

The reason why she was easy to recognize was that Eyjafjalla was always holding a book on catastrophology in her hand, and she was also holding a staff in her hand. Warlocks like this were very common in Leithania, but she was conspicuous in the square.

"Miss! What day is it today?" As soon as Black Key opened his mouth, the results of half a month's training by Tracys and the Blood Demon Lord immediately showed up. The overly classic voice also made Ayafara shudder subconsciously, and she immediately turned her gaze to Black Key.

And when she saw Black Key's outfit, even though she was mentally prepared, when she saw Black Key with half of his face exposed, looking embarrassed but still full of danger and majesty, Eyjafjalla, who didn't hear Black Key's words clearly, was still stunned.

"Speak! What year is it now?" Black Key continued to recite the lines, but the one who responded was the sluggish Eyjafjalla, who was born in Leithania, who slowly stretched out her hand.

"call!"

"what--!!"

Being attacked by a sudden ball of fire, Black Key, who was covered in flames, covered his face and wailed in pain as he retreated. Eyjafjalla herself was also frightened by the Witch King played by Black Key, and she immediately launched an attack and fled.

Of course, Eyjafjalla knew who she was going to act opposite, but the moment she saw Black Key, she forgot to follow the script and sprayed him with pepper spray, which was actually water, and instead subconsciously used the Originium technique.

As a Leitanian, Eyjafjalla left Leitania very early, but this also happened to make her miss the time when the Witch King's reputation changed inside Leitania, so the conditioned reflex was to attack!

Thus, Eyjafjalla became the first movie character so far to be hostile to the "Witch King".

"Ah! Damn! *Letanian slang*!"

Hei Jian wailed and covered his face, retreating for a long distance. Fortunately, he had half a mask, so only half of his face was burning with pain. But in front of the camera, the other half of his face was blackened by the flames, making him look even more miserable.

But in front of the camera, Hei Jian was seen covering half of his face with one hand, and his originally gray-blue pupils were replaced by a blood-red color, not sure whether it was because he was attacked or because he was angry.

"Witch King!"

At this moment, even Tracys and the Blood Demon Lord on the ship were shocked by Eureka's shot. With Black Key's gnashing teeth, and the tone and accent of the Witch King that he had gotten used to after half a month of special training, the anger and murderous intent revealed in his blood-red eyes even reminded them of the Witch King.

Chen Qi reacted quickly, and immediately picked up the intercom and said to the young man who was supervising:

"Remember to keep this shot! Slow it down when it's shown!"

"learn!"

Nian immediately understood what Chen Qi meant. This shot was not in the original design, but the look in Black Key's eyes was enough to make the audience feel that he was the real Witch King when the film was released, which made it easier for them to feel immersed.

In front of the camera, the attacked Black Key groped his way to the newspaper in the plot. He grabbed the newspaper rack just to calm down.

But no one knew whether it was because of the exhaustion after the battle with the Blood Demon Lord, a small spell by Eyjafjalla became the last straw that broke the camel's back for Black Key.

Afterwards, everyone saw that after a moment of daze, Hei Jian completely lost consciousness and fell to the ground, unbalanced, bringing down the entire newspaper stand.

"——What are you standing there for? Go and help Black Key up! Give him some water and food. Saria, please go to the scene and bring Black Key back to rest."

The unconscious Black Key caused the entire scene to fall silent for a moment, until Chen Qi's voice was heard through Vina and Eureka's intercoms. Then everyone reacted and hurriedly helped the exhausted Black Key up and put him in the newsstand to rest.

"It looks like the next phase of filming will have to be postponed." Upon seeing this, the Blood Demon Lord drank the blood in the cup. He also found it funny that he had just believed that Black Key had really awakened the blood resonance of the Witch King.

"With such strength, you are not worthy of the title of 'Descendant of the Witch King', but that look just now... is interesting."

"Perhaps, the way to make this child closer to the Witch King is anger? He and the child named Bai Ke both have the blood of the Witch King, but they have completely opposite sides..."

The Blood Demon Lord's mumbling at this moment also made Tracys beside him notice something, and he couldn't help but frowned and said:

"Lord Blood Demon, no matter what you think, this is not what we should do now."

"——No, Prime Minister, I am just curious. If my guess is correct, this movie will allow this child to encounter more scenes that will make him 'angry'."

"I want to know, at the end of this movie, how much this kid will look like the Witch King..."

An interested smile appeared on the corner of the Blood Demon Lord's mouth. He seemed to have a more interesting job - that is to stay temporarily and witness the transformation of Black Key in front of him, to see if Black Key would eventually transform into another "Witch King" as he thought.

If so, perhaps, he could get a glimpse of how the Witch King managed to keep Leithania running smoothly under his brutal and fearful rule?

Now shouldering the heavy responsibility of reviving the Sarkaz clan, the Blood Demon Lord does not want to give up this opportunity. He vaguely feels that Chen Qi's movie involving the Witch King must not just be sensational, and it must contain theories that will help their Sarkaz clan to restore their country.

Chapter 249: The Witch King: After so many years, the people of Leitania still can't eat bread?

"Hmm? Lord Blood Demon, are you saying that you plan to stay on the ship for a while?"

When Chen Qi learned about the decision of Lord Blood Demon, he was quite surprised. After all, Chen Qi heard that Lord Blood Demon's work in Londinium seemed to be very important. Victoria had set up a Sarkaz Administrative Department for them, and Lord Blood Demon was temporarily serving as the department secretary there.

The Sarkaz Administration Department is full of Sarkaz, and in order to train a group of trustworthy Sarkaz grassroots civil servants, the Blood Demon Lord should be very busy during this period. Therefore, when he proposed to stay on the ship temporarily until the filming of "The Witch King is Back" was completed, Chen Qi was a little confused.

"Just think of it as me, the secretary of the department, taking an advance vacation. With the Regent and Manfred there, there won't be any problems." The Blood Demon Lord played with the ring on his hand and chuckled.

"They should also learn how to deal with emergencies, and understand that without me, an indispensable department secretary, they simply can't handle many things - Bernard still has a lot to learn."

"This way, my dear Prime Minister will not always feel as if he can leave me. I have to prove that my position is irreplaceable from time to time... at least for now."

Blood Demon Lord said so, but Chen Qi also knew that Blood Demon Lord did not tell the whole truth. However, considering that Black Key's performance might still need some guidance from Blood Demon Lord, Chen Qi decided to let Blood Demon Lord stay.

However, the premise is that they must be inside the ship. Chen Qi dare not let the Blood Demon Lord go out at will, otherwise no one knows how many people will disappear inexplicably in the slums of the mobile city the next day, and even high-ranking officials and nobles may disappear...

As for the blood bag that Lord Blood Demon wants... just go to Rhodes Island and ask Huafarin for it. Just say that if she doesn't give it to you, Chen Qi will transfer Lord Blood Demon to Rhodes Island to stay temporarily. Huafarin will definitely agree.

Chen Qi quickly shifted his attention from the Blood Demon Lord's temporary stay to the filming, and now, after a few days of rest, Black Key has returned to filming.

The Witch King, played by Black Key, in the background of the movie, was defeated by the Twin Queens and traveled through time when he fell from a high tower. The Witch King, who had been in a seriously injured and weak state, collapsed due to exhaustion in front of a newspaper and was temporarily taken in by the owner of the newsstand to recuperate among the newspapers.

By the way, the newsstand owner is played by Rhodes Island operator "Earth Spirit". This Scourge Messenger, like Eyjafjalla, has shown curiosity about acting. This time when Chen Qi was looking for actors to play the role of Leitania, they signed up immediately.

On the other hand, the protagonist "Sawatsky" played by Bai Ke hit a wall in the TV station where he worked. While clumsily pursuing the receptionist girl he liked, played by the operator "Xia Guang", he accidentally said something bad about his boss and was caught by his boss.

Unfortunately, his boss had just failed in the election for company director and lost to another colleague who was also the deputy director, and was in a very bad mood.

The character played by Bai Ke happened to have very bad performance recently, and due to a series of consequences, he was ruthlessly fired.

"But I really can't imagine how you invited Master Czerny to play the role of the boss. He is indeed a very good choice. Although he seems a little irritable and mean, he is not annoying."

After the performance, Bai Ke changed his clothes and curiously found Chen Qi to ask. Chen Qi's answer to this made Bai Ke feel simple, saying:

"I just tried to invite him, but when Mr. Czerny heard that I invited him to film, he immediately dropped what he was doing and rushed over - he said that after losing his sponsor, he had to scramble for a rare salary."

"However, I learned from Grandma Ursula who usually takes care of him that Mr. Czerny seems to admire me very much in private... It's probably because of the foundation that Rhine Life and I founded in Colombia to improve the living environment of infected and autistic children."

"Sure enough, good deeds will be rewarded." Bai Ke suddenly realized what was going on after hearing this. He knew about Chen Qi's deeds and had heard of Czerny's name. He just didn't expect that the very proud Master Czerny in the rumors would come to the crew by accident.

However, Bai Ke just sighed for a moment, and soon he focused his attention on the big screen. Now, the Witch King played by Black Key was already lying on the recliner in the newsstand. The newsstand owner played by Di Ling was a kind-hearted man who provided a lot of help.

"——What year is this year?" The first thing Black Key said when he woke up was to question the Witch King as if he had really traveled through time. The Earth Spirit did not have the fear of Eyjafjalla when facing this face that he had seen many times in textbooks. Instead, he seized this opportunity and teased the "Witch King".

"Of course it's 1095. What year do you want it to be? 1053 (when the War of the Four Emperors ends and the Sorcerer King's reign reaches its peak)?"

When Black Key wanted to get up, the Earth Spirit held him down in time. Enjoying the feeling of suppressing the Witch King, Black Key asked blankly, "...Is this kidnapping?"

"Yeah! Hahaha..." Di Ling also scared him on purpose, then stood up to look for something, leaving Hei Jian alone in the newsstand, thinking.

Although he is acting now, the specially trained Black Key has understood how to perform the play to the end - that is to put himself into the character, and his expression will naturally reflect what the character he plays is thinking.

At this moment, the Witch King's thought was undoubtedly to figure out what was going on?

"Could this be a dirty trick of the sisters and the emperors who betrayed me?" Hei Jian couldn't help but mutter to himself. His thoughts were revealed at this moment. He said:

"...No, it's impossible. If they just wanted to imprison me, they wouldn't have to create a new world. Besides, I can move freely in this parallel world. They can't perform spells of this level."

"No, that's unimaginable. The reason they attacked me was to kill me. Even if they were just spying on me, they should have sent someone better than this stupid newspaper seller."

"...There is no doubt that I have to kill him. Even though I am seriously injured and need time to recover, a small person can still do it."

Black Key, who was already thinking like the Witch King, also silently reached into his arms - there was a small staff there, which he learned about based on the information about the Witch King. All of his equipment was now exactly the same as the Witch King's.

But just as Hei Jian was thinking about how to kill quietly, Di Ling finally came back with a bottle of drink in his hand. He handed it to Hei Jian and said:

"Drink some, keep your brain clear, or you'll pass out again."

Faced with the bottle of drink handed to him by Di Ling, Hei Jian took it after some hesitation. After Hei Jian took a lot of effort to unscrew the cap of the drink, he did not rush to drink it. Instead, he looked at this bottle of new drink with interest.

Hei Jian simply sniffed it and seemed to have smelled the ingredients in the drink. Then, he asked the Earth Spirit a question:

"——Energy drink with stimulant ingredients. This is a drink that I have approved to be popular only within the military. It is used to solve the problem of low morale in the army when rations are insufficient."

"Now it appears here... It seems that the problem of bread supply has arisen again? And the officers of the army have started to resell it?"

"...The first thing is to inquire about the local food." Bai Ke had never expected that the Witch King played by Black Key would actually ask such a question. After all, even a kind person like Bai Ke knew that the Witch King ruled Leithania with cruelty and fear, but he did not know the other side of the Witch King.

"Before the Witch King went crazy, his political achievements were quite impressive." At this time, the Blood Demon Lord, who loved to teach others, also explained to Bai Ke in time:

"At that time, Leitania was just a small country. Facing the powerful Victoria and Gaul at that time, they should have only been cannibalized and annexed. The appearance of the Witch King allowed Leitania to be reborn."

"Don't just look at how scary he is, kid. He was already a scary guy before he used his power. You should see more of this."

The Blood Demon Lord finished speaking, and on the screen, the newspaper owner played by Di Ling obviously did not regard Black Key as the Witch King himself. Black Key did not bother to explain this, and he also realized that if his identity was exposed, he might be in danger.

Now that he is in an unfamiliar environment, the Witch King in the newspapers is also trying to get more information as soon as possible to make sure what the state of the world he is in is.

"Do you have the Observer and the Herald?"

"Those no longer exist." The earth spirit also replied.

"Then give me the Golden Rule Sorcerer's Newspaper!" Black Key looked at the Casimir-language newspaper in his hand. The Sorcerer King, who had spent his entire life eliminating dissidents and slaughtering foreigners, frowned and said, "These are almost all in Casimir."

“We have a lot of Casimir customers here.”

"The Casimirs in Leithania?" Upon hearing this, the Witch King played by Black Key also showed an incredible expression and muttered to himself:

"During the Four Emperors' War, the Leitanian Empire changed the course of the war, but I didn't expect the Casimirs to have this ability."

The reason why the Leitanians are now all over the Terra continent is that after the Four Emperors' War, although Leitania was in ruins, the people looked down upon the land as victors. However, Casimir did not participate in the Four Emperors' War. The Witch King thought that the large number of Casimir people here could only be because they had made similar achievements.

“Our fate has been written… Who decides our fate?”

Black Key directed his gaze to the magazine and newspaper in his hands, and now, the confession of the Witch King written in the script was slowly spoken out of Black Key's mouth.

“The first part is getting the information, and I found enough at the newsstand.”

"Apparently, people believe I'm dead. A number of enthusiasts have tried in vain recently to explain my achievements to the public."

"We won the Four Emperors' Battle, but with my death, we lost the war. After the fall of Gaul, Victoria got most of the land, but my death meant that Leitania only got a small piece of land."

"Lethania is now led by those two embarrassing twin sisters - and now one of them has a singing voice like a raven."

"They cooperated with some of the Gallic remnants to establish that pathetic copycat democratic and imperial country! When I saw these ridiculous democracies, my eyes were always filled with tears..."
