"Twin sisters, emperors, Gallic remnants - what a bunch of hateful traitors!"
"The remnants who still believe in me are led by a few wet rags and fat chickens! No, they are not even remnants. They don't even have political means. They are just a bunch of pitiful people living in dark sewers and corners!"
"And the only one who still has some hope... is this weird 'Green Party'. Post-war industrialization and man-made infected people have destroyed the land, air, soil and people. People from this party now want to protect the land of Leithania."
"However, it is meaningless to stop the cultivation of artificial infected warlocks after a few explosions of infected warlocks! This is self-destructive! We need a large number of infected warlocks!"
Black Key slowly put down the magazines in his hands. After reading them, the first reaction of the Witch King he played was to say angrily to the country that was rapidly declining after his death:
"... Bolivar still exists and has become independent. We started the war to colonize this land, but we didn't achieve our goal."
"Now that our expedition to Victoria has failed and we have been forced to sign those humiliating treaties and give up land, there is no point in us winning the Four Emperors' Battle!"
Every word and every line of Black Key can be said to be poking at the twin queens' pain points. Whether it was the voice of the black-haired princess, the disadvantage of the four emperors' battle to divide the Gaul land after the death of the Witch King, or the failure of the expedition, every humiliating thing was put on the table again in the posture of the Witch King he played.
"...I think the two queens will definitely not like this movie." Facing Black Key's current performance, even a good person like Bai Ke can know that such irony will never be accepted by the Gemini queens, especially since there are already many criticisms of their reign.
Especially in these critical cases, when the results of failure are laid out in the open and are well known.
"It does seem like... the reaction of that Witch King." The Blood Demon Lord smiled at this. He stared at the Black Key on the screen. He now felt more and more that the aura of the Black Key was getting closer to that of the Witch King he was familiar with.
"I'm really curious... If you were really alive, what would you do? You're not only a madman, but also a politician. How would you change this country when you're temporarily unable to use your power?"
Chapter 250: The Witch King's Next Move: Listening to the People's Voice
"Director Chen Qi, I don't quite understand why the Witch King thinks the 'Green Party' is more promising? I don't have any good feelings towards this group."
After a day of acting, Black Key and White Chalk's show at the newsstand also came to an end. Black Key, who played the Witch King, went to the dry cleaners to clean his tattered and smelly outfit after losing the duel with the Twin Queens.
Then, he borrowed a set of casual clothes that were totally inconsistent with his temperament and walked out. During this period, he met the protagonist played by Bai Ke. He had resigned before and discovered the figure of the Witch King through his own video. He vaguely felt that this actor could help him get out of the predicament, shoot an influential work, and return to work at the TV station.
To this end, Bai Ke borrowed money and a car from his mother in the movie and found the Witch King played by Black Key. This also means that Chen Qi and his group's interviews in Leithania are about to begin.
However, before setting off, Black Key, one of the protagonists, suddenly asked Chen Qi a question. Upon hearing this, Chen Qi curiously asked Black Key:
"Then let me ask you, Black Key, why do you think the Leitania's 'Green Party' is not good? Their slogans are to protect the environment, democracy and peace?"
"——That's what they thought was peace." Although Black Key had lived with White Crescent as an experimental subject for a long time, he was still somewhat exposed to politics as he was given the nominal title of "Count of Utica".
Many nobles and gentry who had been deprived of their titles and lands due to their collusion with the remnants of the Witch King had come to Black Key because of his identity as the "Count of Utica", so he was familiar with these people, as well as the "Green Party" of Leithania.
"The Green Party is mostly made up of Gallic nobles who colluded with the emperors of Lethania when Gaul was destroyed, as well as nobles like me who are only in name only. These are relatively weak parties formed by these parties."
"I have had contact with them before, but I feel that they are just a group of people who are fighting for their own interests and trying to win over some vulnerable groups to occupy the moral high ground. They seem to be winning over the infected and the civilians who have lost too many in the war, but in fact they are just sucking the value of these vulnerable groups. As soon as they open their mouths, they are full of the stench of money."
When Black Key mentioned the "Green Party" in Leitania, he showed a very disgusted expression, not hiding his disgust at all, and asked:
"Why does the Witch King think there is hope for the 'Green Party'? These people are truly hopeless."
"——It's a very simple truth. As a descendant of the Witch King, when it comes to politics, as long as there is power that you can gain, you must strive for it as much as possible. Only by winning over the factions that you can win over can you strengthen your voice."
At this moment, before Chen Qi could speak, the figure of the Blood Demon Lord quietly appeared behind him, but before Hei Jian could turn around in surprise, the Blood Demon Lord suddenly appeared in front of him again, showing his racial advantage.
"If you don't occupy the moral high ground, someone else will. Just like if the people who should be in power don't hold power, it will be taken away by those who shouldn't be in power. The so-called 'Green Party' is just such a group of people."
"This reminds me of the character played by Miss Shuangxing who also said something similar when Director Chen Qi was filming "Yes, Prime Minister" in Londinium? Is she also a representative of the 'Green Party'?"
"That person can't be considered one. The person played by Shuangxing is not of high enough status to be called a 'Green Party'. At most, he is just a similar egoist." Chen Qi smiled upon hearing this and replied to the Blood Demon Lord:
"The Green Party is a party made up of people like this."
"...How disgusting." Black Key reiterated his point once again. The Blood Demon Lord smiled at Black Key's disgusted face and said:
"You still have a lot to learn, descendant of the Witch King. You will understand why the Witch King wanted to rely on the power of the 'Green Party' in the movie. He just wanted to expand his influence and return to the position of power."
"To this end, he can cooperate with any party that can help him, which is why he said the Green Party has hope."
"——Besides, it's a bit darkly humorous that a man like the Witch King chooses a party that is known to be a bunch of bastards to support him, isn't it?"
The Blood Demon Lord smiled lightly, then pretended to be profound and left, leaving Black Key standing there alone, deep in thought. And now, after the topic was over, Chen Qi began to let Saria drive the ship to the city in northern Leithania.
When Chen Qi and his group set off, Rhodes Island tacitly chose to follow. Kal'tsit was a little worried that Chen Qi's filming would cause a lot of turmoil, so Rhodes Island kept up at all times to provide medical support for possible riots.
However, at the same time, the Gemini Queens issued their orders as soon as Chen Qi and his party left temporarily.
"Order all members of the 'Voice of the Queen' stationed in various mobile cities to closely observe the actions of Chen Qi's crew. Once any unusual movements by the remnants of the Witch King are discovered, follow the clues and eliminate all the gathering places of these remnants!"
"Also, give orders to the city defense forces, local nobles, and officials of each mobile city. Chen Qi is likely to interview them and ask them to be cautious when speaking."
Chen Qi told the twin queens that this movie was going to satirize the current situation in Leitania, so they also thought that Chen Qi would interview officials and nobles, just like in "Yes, Prime Minister", to expose some of Leitania's shortcomings.
The twin queens were a little worried... The movie "The Return of the Witch King" would cause greater turmoil in today's Leithania, so they also planned to warn these officials not to learn from Humphrey and Bernard and be careful with them...
However, the Gemini Queens did not know that Chen Qi had no intention of talking to the so-called officials and nobles from the beginning. In the drama "The Witch King is Back", most of the interviews were with ordinary people whom they did not notice.
These civilians may not have a deep understanding of politics, but the issues they raise are the ones that best reflect the current situation in Leithania.
……
In the north of Leithania, the characters played by Bai Chalk and Black Key were also filmed in this wilderness. Bai Chalk played Sawatzky, who wanted to use the actor who played the Witch King to create topics, and in the process, he exposed his shortcomings of not being good at creating topics.
The Witch King played by Black Key also complained a lot during this process, saying:
“People who are in the middle of a creative crisis always give strange advice.”
"Sawatsky wants to film The Witch King in the Wilderness or The Witch King in the Desert, preferably in scavenger's clothes."
"...My propaganda minister died with regret over this."
Obviously, the Witch King played by Black Key was not optimistic about Bai Ke. The two returned to the hotel, but Bai Ke soon discovered that the Witch King had covered the hotel's TV screen with his robe, and immediately asked:
"What's wrong with the TV?"
"—is that a TV?"
However, Hei Jian, who had just come out of the bathroom, was somewhat surprised when Bai Ke turned on the TV in front of him. It seemed like he had seen such a thin and light TV for the first time. After touching the screen, he couldn't help but sigh:
"I haven't been here for twenty years, and people have already developed television to this point?"
"I mean, of course there were televisions in my time. I tried to bring them to the front lines to entertain the soldiers, but they were bulky and not very common. How could it be that every household has one now?"
The Witch King played by Black Key was also extremely surprised at the changes in just twenty years, and said with emotion:
"What a technological advance, what a great way to promote something - but why a cooking show?"
Soon, Black Key frowned at the program playing on TV. It was the first time that the Witch King saw the television that was now popular in every household, and he immediately thought of how useful this way of promotion was.
However, he was greatly disappointed that Leitania's show was so boring, and he said:
"Surely there must be something more interesting in this land than cooking?"
"Do you want to see a replay of "Yes, Prime Minister"? Apparently it's not available now." Bai Ke also untied his tie, lay down on the bed, stood up his calves wrapped in white socks, and answered casually.
However, the Witch King played by Black Key was very dissatisfied and changed several channels in succession. However, the content broadcasted were all meaningless programs - variety shows, food, pets, and the world's most boring drama praising the government. All these things made the Witch King played by Black Key slowly feel angry.
He was angry. He was angry that such a good propaganda method was occupied by these meaningless programs! If he wanted to use it, he would definitely use this propaganda to make the whole of Leitania loyal to him!
"Luckily the Propaganda Minister didn't see this!"
"You'll want to use the most vicious Originium techniques to kill this garbage!"
However, after cursing all this, facing these boring programs, the Witch King quickly determined the theme of the TV film he was going to shoot, which was "politics"!
Focusing all topics on current affairs and sensitive issues that the public will care about, allowing the public to say what they dare not say. The Witch King believes that such a program is the one that will attract people's attention in the first place.
"…The leadership of this two-person team seems to be changing."
On Rhodes Island not far away, Kal'tsit and Amiya, who had obtained Chen Qi's permission and were able to see the filming process, also made their judgments on the performance of the Witch King played by Black Key. Amiya was the first to pay attention to it. The Witch King, who was originally going to be filmed by Crete, now decided the subject of Crete's filming.
"This is the characteristic of the Witch King. He will never control you. You will be controlled by him without knowing it." Kal'tsit obviously knew about the Witch King. She looked at the theme decided by the black key on the screen and sighed.
"It seems that the twin queens' reminder is useless... Let's listen to the voices of the people of Leitania..."
"Now, whether or not Leitania can be saved depends on whether the twin queens are willing to make changes for the better after all this."
Chapter 251: Are the Leitanians more friendly to the Witch King? Inspiration from the Blood Demon Lord
Having found the entry point, Black Key and White Chalk immediately began to film civilians' opinions on sensitive topics and political issues as expected. During this process, all the filming will be done by Vina and Eureka, and the people Black Key and White Chalk interviewed are completely random.
Therefore, all the nobles and officials who were arranged by the Gemini Queens in time and who were ready to be "criticized sharply" by Black Key and White Chalk were not selected without exception.
Chen Qi gave the two the greatest freedom in filming, allowing them to interview anyone they wanted. So Black Key planned to find some ordinary people first to see if his Witch King costume would have any effect on the civilians of Leithania, and whether he could make them say what Chen Qi said, and speak out what they dare not say normally.
"This is an interview program, 'What You Want to Say to the Witch King.'"
In a hot dog shop, Bai Ke and Black Key each bought a hot dog to eat, and Black Key promptly interviewed the only employee of the shop. When the two of them clearly noticed that the other party was very interested in Black Key's witch king costume, Black Key immediately seized the opportunity and said:
"This is a scenario where the Witch King is ruling Leithania now. What would you like to say to the Witch King about the current situation in Leithania? What do you hope can be changed?"
"The Gemini Queen cannot hear the voice of the people. Now you can speak to the Witch King face to face. It is me, so speak freely. I don't mind no matter what you say. I have returned now to listen to the voice of the people."
Black Key was now also playing the role of the Witch King, and had almost completely forgotten his original identity. However, as he expected, when he saw the Witch King's costume, and even when the actor said he was the Witch King, even though the clerk obviously knew it was all fake, his brows actually relaxed.
It was as if the man in front of her, wearing the Witch King's clothes, could really give her confidence, as if as long as he was there, the people of Leithania could speak freely.
"You're doing the right thing - I would say the biggest issue is the wages."
The clerk accepted the interview without refusing. He seemed to be embarrassed to mention his insignificant "salary" in front of the Witch King. He laughed at himself, but still said:
"If we ask for a salary increase, would you agree, Your Majesty the Witch King?"
"--If you feel that your current gains do not match your labor, of course I will." After some thought, the Witch King played by Black Key wrote a blank check, but found that his answer seemed to have achieved better results than expected.
Could it be that... this is the effect of this outfit? Facing the shop assistant who had started the conversation, Hei Jian continued to have a deep chat with him, while Bai Ke, the "protagonist", just watched the scene with a smile, and from time to time he would pass the decorative microphone in his hand back and forth between the two people's mouths.
Because it is an interview, Vina and Eureka can now show up and record the entire interview process - of course, when it comes to the movie, it will be filmed by the chalk camera in the movie.
"Do you think your voice can change the minds of the emperors?" As the topic deepened, the conversation between the few people gradually deepened, and Black Key asked:
"Or in other words, do you think your decision can bring about so-called democracy?"
"——To be honest, Your Highness, I don't think so." The female clerk, under the encouraging eyes of Bai Ke, answered without hesitation in front of the Black Key dressed as the Witch King:
"I didn't vote on principle, I felt the election was rigged because nothing changed."
"Your Highness, I'm from Utica (the hometown of the Witch King)." The female clerk told Black Key and the others about her current situation: "Because of this, we only get forks wherever we need them."
"The problem is that when you first came to power, all the people of Leithania supported you. However, those of us who were born in Utica were always regarded as the remnants of the Witch King because we were born on the same land as you."
After talking about the domestic situation, the female clerk talked to Hei Jian about her views on foreigners. When she said that these former Gauls and foreigners who had fled from all directions had taken up their living space, Hei Jian also said:
"But each of you is afraid to speak up?"
"Let me tell you why we can't tell it, Your Majesty the Witch King - otherwise you'd be a xenophobe." The female clerk now talked more and more. The Witch King, whom she should have respected, had now become the only person she could vent her grievances to.
Because she was a native of Leithania and had never been persecuted by the Witch King, she subconsciously believed that the Witch King, the king who made the Leithanians stand out from the crowd, would really make decisions for them.
"But those foreign kids who don't know the rules are really annoying. They will play some loud music and disrespect our country's art. Once I interfere, their parents will threaten me with 'hostility towards foreigners'."
"——Yes, I will take care of these issues."
Black Key nodded, and Vina and Eureka beside him also recorded all of this. And White Crème also recorded all of these points - this was Vina's request. This knowledge was very important for Vina who wanted to "return like lightning", and the voice of the people was also a very important reliance for her to return to Victoria in the future.
Just when Black Key and the others were about to leave, the female clerk stared at Black Key, or rather, at the Witch King. After a long while, she asked him:
"Can I take a picture with you?"
"……sure."
Hei Jian was a little surprised at this small request from the female clerk, but he thought again and realized that the other party also knew that he was not the real Witch King, so it was normal for her to make such a request.
And this first interview was enough to prove what Black Key was thinking - perhaps, appearing in front of the people of Leitania in his current attire would really allow them to speak more freely.
However, their interview was now completely seen by the people on Rhodes Island and the ship, and in this first interview, many problems within Leitania had actually been exposed.
"Just like Victoria back then, many problems have actually been accumulating for a long time." The Blood Demon Lord nodded silently to all this, and said with an interested expression on his face:
"The Victorians are even more arrogant than the Leithanians, and Leithania did stand at the top of this land in the past. The existence of the Witch King gave them the confidence to be arrogant, but when that confidence was taken away, they could no longer be trampled on as they had been in the past."
"Every citizen of a country that has gone from prosperity to decline has this problem, to the point where they idolize the strong just to get the respect they want."
The Sarkaz will also face the same problem in the future. The Blood Demon Lord remembered this and took out his little notebook to record it.
The Sarkaz clan is still in a weak position, and it will take a long time for Kazdel to restore his country. If the Blood Demon clan's position cannot be challenged in the future, the Blood Demon Lord must do something to gain the support of the Sarkaz clan.
The Blood Demon Lord was also aware of the reputation of the Blood Demon Clan. To be honest, even among the Sarkaz, some of the Blood Demon Clan's practices made their fellow creatures feel uncomfortable... and the Blood Demon Lord also felt it. Now Tracys was uniting the power of the Sarkaz Clan, including the kings of the royal court, and he was trying his best to gain it!
However, the Blood Demon Lord also had a premonition that in the future, Tracys would definitely eliminate all the kings in the royal court whom he described as "conservative" one by one.
Especially the Blood Demon Clan, he has always suspected that Tracys will definitely replace him in the royal court. This is why the Blood Demon Lord chose to stay on Chen Qi's ship temporarily this time. He now represents the future status of the Blood Demon Clan and whether it can continue to be the same as it is now after Kazdel's restoration.
And now, the Blood Demon Lord seems to have found a way to resolve his worries - that is to rely on the strength of their clan!
Yes, being strong and admiring the strong is everyone's nature. The strong can protect the weak and bring them dignity and honor. And it just so happens that the Blood Demon Clan is one of the strongest among the Sarkaz.
