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

“In the future, when Kazdel is restored, the Regent and the Princess will surely still need to rely on the power of our Blood Demon Clan… Then, we only need to show the power of our Blood Demon Clan in future wars, right?”

"No, it's not enough to just be powerful. We must show our power at the right time and in the right place, just like the Witch King."

"It's just that... the Sarkaz clan has many powerful royal courts. How can we make the Blood Demon clan's power appear unrepeatable?"

Lord Blood Demon thought about this question over and over again. When it comes to war, every race of the Sarkaz is born for war, and the strength of the kings in the royal court is mostly similar, and the same is true for the clans. Lord Blood Demon has a high opinion of himself, but he dare not say that he can really say that he can definitely defeat any of the kings.

Then, there are only two choices left... to become a "victorious general" who is always on call, has the most attendances in wars, and can bring victory every time; or to be a strong person who keeps silent but makes a stunning debut and turns the tide of the war?

"Perhaps, the Witch King can give me some references, or rather, the Witch King in Director Chen Qi's hands."

"A method that can manipulate people's hearts and gain their support even better than war... Let me see it."

The Blood Demon Lord smiled slightly, staring intently at the big screen, where Black Key and his crew had finished the interview and were heading towards the next location. He felt that this interview would allow him to pay attention to many "voices of the people" that he had never paid attention to before.

These voices can not only help the "Witch King" in the movie regain the support of the people and understand their needs, but also allow this "conservative" who has stayed in a high position for too long to change his thinking.

Chapter 252: Blood Demon Lord: Read the Witch King's book, and I will let you be the new Witch King!

For a whole day, Black Key and his team traveled back and forth in the northern part of Leithania. The people they interviewed were all ordinary people, and the ideas they expressed were also varied.

Among them, some seem to be serious suggestions, while others seem extreme.

Facing the Witch King played by Black Key, many citizens who had lived through that era and experienced the glorious moments of Leithania did not express fear or disgust towards the Witch King. Instead, like the female clerk before, they seemed to be able to speak freely in front of the Witch King and pour out their extreme and dark thoughts.

"You can definitely do something about these unruly foreigners - labor camps!"

When the Witch King, played by Black Key, expressed his support for this radical view and asked whether he would be responsible for labor camp-related work in the future, the Leitanian citizen answered without hesitation:

"I support you and I will help you."

Similarly, during an interview at a dinner party, Black Key and his team took the initiative to share a table with several Leitanian elders, and those elders also had very similar ideas and said:

"Lehtania has attracted a lot of refugees. During the war, refugees came from Casimir, Victoria, and Gaul. Today, Leitania is facing similar problems."

"All these foreigners who eat us, use us, and ride on our shoulders should be driven out."

"Even if some of them were born here, you still have to repatriate them to wherever they want to go, except Leitania."

There were many similar speeches, and the people said many things to the Witch King that they had not dared to say before and could only reveal in private. And these remarks also made Kal'tsit, Amiya and others who were also watching frown.

"The people of Leitania... seem to be suppressing a lot of anger and dissatisfaction, Doctor Kal'tsit."

Amiya couldn't help but feel a lingering fear. Even if she didn't use her Originium skills, she could still feel the resentment and anger of these civilians through the screen and these words.

These negative emotions came from their dissatisfaction with the present-day Leitania. Even though their lives were happier and more stable than those of most people Amiya had met, they were still filled with anger and were still dissatisfied with their lives, which were the dream lives of many people.

"This is the darkness that people suppress in their hearts, Amiya. Only the Witch King played by Black Key can make them bring out these thoughts in their hearts and let us all hear them in front of the camera."

"Amiya, listen to these people's voices more often. This is a warning to you. People's opinions expressed in public and in private are often completely different."

"I don't understand... Dr. Kal'tsit, I think the Twin Queens' rule is very successful." But Amiya still didn't understand why the situation in Leitania has become like this, and couldn't help but say:

"Although I only met them once...but didn't you, Doctor Kal'tsit, tell me a lot about their deeds?"

"They received support from the emperors and lords, and defeated the Witch King who ruled Leithania cruelly. Leithania has been recuperating for the past 20 years, and the lives of the people have been greatly improved. The population and economy have both recovered greatly."

"Moreover, the twin queens have worked very hard. They have been in power for so many years, and the situation in Leitania has always been stable. They are obviously loved by the people of Leitania. Why do the people have a different voice now? Is it just because of the failure of the expedition to Victoria?"

"This is just one of them." Kal'tsit could certainly understand Amiya's question. After all, it was the same country, but the public opinion showed two completely opposite situations. I'm afraid that even Vina who was filming would be very confused.

"This is related to the way the twin queens have been maintaining stability over the years. After the victory in the Battle of the Four Emperors, they assimilated the Gaul survivors with a relatively tolerant policy. After all, the Gallic nobles also joined the coup against the Witch King at the time in exchange for the treatment of the Gaul survivors."

"And during the years when Leitania was developing, it did attract many refugees from neighboring countries to flee here... The Twin Queens' policy gave refugees preferential treatment, but for the people who were born and raised in Leitania, as soon as these refugees arrived in Leitania, they were given land and industries to live on - this was unfair to them."

"The Twin Queens' approach was to suppress these opposing voices through political and moral correctness. The initial effect was significant, but as the number of refugees increased, the voices calling for the expulsion of refugees became louder and louder."

"For Leitania, these settled foreigners will sooner or later assimilate into Leitania, but for the people, at least for now, they are still foreigners. However, those opposing voices are covered up under morality and correctness."

"Amiya, just because the voice hasn't come out doesn't mean it never existed. This movie directed by Chen Qi... can be said to be an outlet for Leitania today."

However, whether this outlet will bring relief or a flood is unknown.

Kal'tsit was a little worried. If these voices were revealed in Chen Qi's movie, would it be good or bad for Letania... And Chen Qi collected these and specially chose the Witch King as the protagonist. What exactly did he want to express?

Is he looking at the Witch King dialectically? He had promised the Twin Queens before that he had no intention of whitewashing the Witch King. What methods would he use to improve the current situation in Leithania?

……

And now, Kal'tsit wanted to know what Chen Qi wanted to express in the movie. As night fell, Black Key and others returned to the ship, ending a day's filming. Eureka and Vina also handed over the success of the day's filming to Chen Qi.

"Director Chen Qi! Today's interview went really smoothly! There are many clips in it that can be edited into the movie!"

Eureka was very happy that he could play a role. After handing the camera to Chen Qi, Chen Qi did not hide his praise at all and smiled at Eureka:

"Thanks, Eureka. I was planning to spend a week collecting these interviews, but I didn't expect to finish them in one day."

"As expected, Eureka, sending you to do this kind of thing will save a lot of time. You are naturally good at making shows."

"Hehe... Ever since I've been with Director Chen Qi and everyone in the crew, I feel like my luck has gotten better." However, Eureka didn't realize the other meaning of "show effect" that Chen Qi mentioned, and replied shyly:

"However, it would be great if I could help. This way I won't be a useless person just waiting to die on the crew. If you can use me, just ask, Director Chen Qi!"

After Eureka left, Vina followed suit. Vina gained a lot from her "secret visit" today. The voices of the people of Leitania were worth Vina's careful digestion.

"So, how do you feel about showing off your wizard king's majesty in front of everyone? Black Key?"

Facing Black Key, who had just taken off his witch king costume, Chen Qi asked this question. Black Key thought about it for a while before hesitantly saying:

"...It seems that everyone can speak more truthfully in front of the Witch King. Although these truths are dark, they are indeed what people want."

"No, Black Key, this is not their darkest thought." However, Chen Qi smiled slightly when he heard this, and turned to Black Key and said:

"Today's interview was very successful. For the next interview, Black Key, I have new requirements for you."

"This interview is simply to get people talking. Next, I hope you can learn the art of language from the Witch King - to guide the people to speak out more of their inner thoughts."

"...You mean, learn from the Witch King and use words to deceive the people?"

Black Key obviously had his own understanding of Chen Qi's request. His eyes suddenly flashed with many incredible expressions, and he immediately said: "Then what I did is the same as the Witch King?!"

"It's different, Black Key. What the Witch King did is really misleading the people, but I asked you to do this so that more people will know of your existence, so that it will be easier to pull out those who are really suspected of being the remnants of the Witch King from underground."

However, Chen Qi also spoke out his inner thoughts, and said to Hei Jian word by word: "You have to let them know that we are shooting the movie in a documentary style, and many of our subsequent interviews will not have scripts."

"You may have a dialogue with the real remnants of the Witch King and the nobles who support him in the future. We are helping the Gemini Queens. When you really come into contact with these people, the Gemini Queens will be able to eradicate the local remnants of the Witch King."

"But the premise is that you have to make them feel like, at least, that you are someone they can trust and who has inherited the Witch King's ideals. If you want to attract them, you must first make them feel that you are one of them."

"To do this, I require you to be as similar to the Witch King as possible, with the same way of speaking and the same philosophy. You must be more like the Witch King than the Witch King. Do you understand?"

After Chen Qi finished speaking, Hei Jian was speechless and didn't know how to refute. Finally, after an explanation from Bai Ke who was standing beside him, he understood his job.

"Director Chen Qi means... a sting operation?"

"A perfect summary! And you, Black Key, are the hook. Do you understand? In the future, we will have to come into contact with those who truly support the Witch King, and you, the hook, must be conspicuous enough."

"In this regard, Lord Blood Demon will continue to help you. Lord Blood Demon, you seemed to have said before that you had someone bring a book about the Witch King from Londinium, right?"

Chen Qi shook his head, and soon, accompanied by a cloud of blood mist, the figure of the Blood Demon Lord appeared in front of everyone again. He walked slowly towards them with a smile and handed a book in his hand to Hei Jian.

"Take a look. This is a book written by the Witch King himself." The Blood Demon Lord had an interested smile on his face. After seeing Black Key slowly taking the book, he also said:

"Now, this book has been listed as a banned book in this land, and the twin queens burned it together. Fortunately, I kept a copy. I was surprised to see this book in the library of the Sarkaz clan."

"I think that after reading this book, you will have a better understanding of the kind of person your bloodline comes from...you will understand him."

Then, he will become the next Witch King of Leithania. The Blood Demon Lord kept this sentence in his heart without saying it out loud. His current plan is not only to train Black Key to be "like" the Witch King, he has a higher expectation for Black Key, that is, to make him the next Witch King!

Although Black Key's current strength is not enough to compete with the pair of queens, Lord Blood Demon still has a way... Now one of the queens has a hoarse voice and cannot use the Originium skills smoothly. If necessary... there is still a chance to deal with just one of them.

If the Sarkaz clan can cooperate with the new generation of "Witch King"... then the revival of Kazdel will definitely go more smoothly.

And after the Blood Demon Clan accomplished such a great feat, I believe their prime minister will not take action against the heroes of the Sarkaz Clan again, right?

The Blood Demon Lord thought so in his heart and felt extremely satisfied with the plan he came up with. He couldn't wait to see the Witch King's authority being inherited.

By then, the Witch King and the Demon King will join forces, and no one in this land will be able to stop the revival of the Tikaz clan! In the heart of the Blood Demon Lord, such a grand blueprint has begun to be implemented!

Chapter 253: The momentum created by the Black Key, the man closest to the Witch King!

A week passed quickly, and during this time, Chen Qi's ships and Rhodes Island were constantly shuttling between various mobile cities in Leitania. During this time, almost all of Black Key's actions were under the surveillance of the "Voice of the Queen".

However, the spies only had the power to monitor Chen Qi and his group, but they could not interfere. They could not interfere even if they wanted to. Since their queen invited Chen Qi to come to Leitania to solve the problem, they had no choice but to let Chen Qi do it.

After all, they lack the power to intimidate Chen Qi... Even the Emperor of Dayan did not dare to threaten Chen Qi, so now Leitania is even more helpless. However, the problem cannot be solved, so it can only be left to the invited professionals to solve it themselves.

But soon, when the Gemini queens were still worried, they received the report from the spy. However, this time, the news brought by the spy made them very uneasy.

"Your Majesty, we have brought you recent news about Director Chen Qi."

"I hope it's good news." The white-haired queen couldn't help but sigh. Ever since Chen Qi decided to shoot a movie related to the Witch King, they have been worried. But unexpectedly, the spy said seriously:

"Yes and no."

"With the increasingly active actions of Count Utica, there have been more and more discussions about him on the Internet recently. These are some clips we got from Director Chen Qi. If possible, please watch this video and you will know the influence of Count Utica recently."

As he spoke, the spy also took out a tablet. Driven by a source stone skill, the tablet in the spy's hand immediately flew towards the direction of the twin queens.

Afterwards, as the twin queens pressed the "play" button, the interview that the spy had obtained from Chen Qi, which would be edited into the movie, was soon shown to the two women.

"What do you think about the problem in Leithania?" The opening scene is Black Key dressed as the Witch King and a female beast tamer who is being interviewed, discussing current affairs.

"More and more refugees are coming, and I don't think this is good... but we little people can't do anything."

"-What if many little people, men and women, join forces and elect a powerful person?" However, when this was mentioned, Hei Jian's pupils seemed to begin to emit a luster that the Gemini Queens felt familiar with.

“We can change a lot of things that way.”

The female animal trainer was silent for a while after hearing this. She naturally realized that Black Key was referring to the Witch King he played. But after a moment, she smiled and said, "That's right."

"Racial mixing is not good either." Black Key followed up with a proposal that was acceptable to others, and then began to instill his own views, saying:

"Take our animal relatives for example, if Caprini (sheep) and Elafia (deer) mate, what do you get?"

"...A sheep deer?" The female animal trainer obviously hadn't thought of this possibility, and was quite unconfident about her answer. But Black Key still encouraged her to continue, asking: "What does it look like?"

"Funny look."

"Then imagine that if two sheep and deer mate, they will never produce a purebred Caprini, and the Caprini will become extinct - this is actually happening in Leitania."

"Switching concepts." At this moment, the black-haired queen immediately realized the trap and deception in Black Key's words. Even though her voice was a little hoarse, the black-haired queen still gritted her teeth and said, relying on her familiarity with the Witch King:

"This is the Witch King's rhetoric - we are all very familiar with it. He first puts forward a point of view that people will agree with, so that people will subconsciously think that he is right, and then instills his own point of view to confuse the people."

"At the beginning, he used this method to deceive everyone. I will never forget this hateful look in my life."

"...But how did Count Utica replicate the Witch King's rhetoric?" However, the white-haired queen noticed that Black Key's rhetoric was obviously based on the same template as the Witch King's, and she couldn't help but ask:

"Even if that blood demon brought Count Utica to borrow our information about the Witch King, the audio and video recordings from that year...we should have destroyed them all."

"How did he learn the words of the Witch King? The 'Voice of the World' in his body did not respond, so how did he achieve such a deep understanding of the Witch King just by interpretation?"

However, no one present could answer the question raised by the White-haired Princess, and as the video played, Black Key talked to more and more people of Leithania. Under his guidance using the Witch King's rhetoric, the people's speeches became more radical and extreme.

"The Sargons who came to Leithania - I'm only talking about the Sargons - their average IQ was only between 40 and 50, while the Leithanians used to have an IQ of over 80."

"I think the IQ is around 60 or above now. As more and more refugees come, the IQ will drop even more!"

This was said by an old man who obviously had a great sense of superiority over his country and identity and who had lived through the Age of the Witch King. The statement that "the integration of other countries and the Leithanians has lowered the average IQ" was enough to undermine unity.

Afterwards, Black Key displayed his Witch King rhetoric to the fullest. During the interview, he continued to deliberately guide the people of Leitania to hate other people, saying:

"In the past, there was no hip-hop or abstract art in an artistic country like ours. Now that these people have come, all this messed-up stuff that insults our ears and our refined appreciation of art has come in."

"Of course." The old man who was talking to Black Key obviously agreed with the "Witch King" in front of him and immediately said:

"In fact, we Leitanians are born with a stigma when we open our mouths and speak. I must tell you that I do not agree with this."

"Back then, it was the Witch King who led us to win the Battle of the Four Emperors. The Gauls were merely defeated. But now the Witch King's rule has been overthrown. He has gone from being a tyrant to being a villain, and those of us who once supported the Witch King have gone from being heroes to being criminals."

"I'm very firm, I'm not an extremist - but I definitely won't vote for the twin queens either."

Even in the video, Black Key was still trying to deceive the younger generation of Leitania by using his identity as the Witch King, saying:

"Politicians are lining their pockets and I'm surprised millions of people like you aren't taking pitchforks to the towers and asking 'what are you doing with my money'?"

However, although such a statement that could be said to encourage rebellion was not accepted by the young man, it made the Gemini Queens feel threatened - this signal was very bad, and would further boost the morale of the remnants of the Witch King, and would also allow more people to pose a threat to their rule.

Especially now, one of them is in a state where it is difficult to continue fighting. Although very few people know about this, once some ambitious emperors know about it, they will be in great danger...

"Your Majesty, what you see now are what Director Chen Qi intends to edit into the movie - and there are already a lot of interview-related videos released on the Internet." At this moment, the spy also conveyed the current situation to the Gemini Queen, and then immediately added:

"Director Chen Qi asked his subordinates to tell them that they might be able to come into contact with the real remnants of the Witch King soon. If Her Majesty wants to establish her authority, she can use the people they come into contact with to uproot the remnants of the Witch King in each mobile city."
