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

To promote cooperation with other forces? To promote Kjerag? These points actually caused some reactions from SilverAsh.

In addition to being self-sufficient, Kjerag is now developing more in the tourism industry. However, because Kjerag is too isolated, most people have never heard of their country. Although the tourism industry has developed, it only attracts people from a few nearby countries.

However, the tourism industry has indeed brought some benefits to Shelagh's family and the elders of Manzhuyuan. If there really is such a powerful director who can take this opportunity to indirectly promote Shelagh's tourism industry... then some of SilverAsh's future things will be much easier.

Moreover, with more people coming, there will be no shortage of business opportunities and opportunities for cooperation with various forces - what's more, Yinhui also heard that there was a director named Chen Qi who would even find partners for him as long as he played a role.

"Want to go? Then I'll come with you."

Lingzhi noticed Silver Gray's unusual movements and said with a smile, "I also want to see who the director of the legendary play that split Victoria is."

"That's right, this person is worth meeting." Yinhui smiled slightly, but did not agree immediately. Instead, he asked the person on the other end of the phone, "What role does Director Chen Qi want me to play?"

"It's said that he is the king of a country." Mace also answered his CEO's question and said lightly: "But it's said that he needs to play an old man. It's basically unrecognizable as the original person, but it still needs someone who fits the temperament to play it."

"It's very safe, and the identity is really well positioned." Lingzhi said jokingly on the side, and Yinhui responded after thinking about it for a while.

"——Tell Director Chen Qi that I will rush to Casimir as soon as possible. I will give him an answer after I have watched his TV series and movies."

Just like that, the conversation between the two ended. Jian silently put Chen Qi's phone aside. She was not in a hurry to put on makeup. After all, the role she was going to play only needed to appear at the end of the movie, because Chen Qi requested that several people of different races be present during the final conversation on the bus in Victoria.

Naturally, the Blood Knight received the same treatment as Mace, but they all knew that acting was just a side job, and they were more for delivering messages to Casimir's officials to prevent anything unfavorable to Casimir from happening in the movie shot by Chen Qi.

However... the Supervisory Commission still did not tell them the details, because Mace and the Blood Knight did not know what was meant by "unfavorable to Casimir".

"It sounds like a film about Victoria, so there shouldn't be anything to worry about. Does this mean we two have managed to get away with it? If we just come to guard for a while, we won't be blamed by any forces in Casimir anymore?"

"...The Supervisory Commission even promised me that it would improve the living environment for the infected." The Blood Knight nodded in response to the call, feeling emotional about the generosity of the Casimir officials this time.

“It feels like a dream… Although both of us have gained honor and status in Casimir, I must say that Casimir is not such a generous country.”

"No matter what, we just need to do our job well. Once this 'protection' work is over, the two of us can finally leave with peace of mind, without having to worry about being hunted down or anything else."

Although Jian said so, he still felt something was wrong... The "Silver Spear Pegasus" in the city and the various concealments of the Casimir officials all seemed to hint that some plan was brewing.

No one knows, or rather, except for a few senior national officials who are now eyeing Victoria, no one knows that their actions now are all centered around starting a war.

Not only Casimir and Ursus, but even Leithania is now mobilizing troops. The vigorous split of Victoria has made these countries that still have the strength to wage war want to bite off a piece of fat from the now weak Victoria.

The four countries that divided Gaul in the past have now united again to divide up the land and resources of another country.

At the same time, when Chen Qi was still worrying about the casting of "Darkest Hour", the two people he had been waiting for for a long time had already returned to the crew while they were still setting up the scene.

"Director Chen Qi! I'm here with Xi Bao!"

In the crew, Nian brought Xi as expected, and through some special methods of Yan Country, they went all the way from Huiqi Mountain in Yan Country, and arrived at the territory of Grand Knight Casimir within a few days. Chen Qi also saw several people in black clothes, who left the scene almost immediately after sending the two women there.

However, before leaving, the people from Yan Country did not have time to catch their breath. As they evacuated, they said:

"Two 'year-old' fragments have come to Casimir and found the infamous Chen Qi... What on earth do they want to do?"

"It seems like he wants to film a movie? Probably."

"——No matter what, we must report this matter to His Majesty." One of the younger members of the Simuitai also spoke up: "Now that the two fragments are under the protection of Director Chen Qi, who is under the protection of Sarkaz and Sakta, this matter is not optimistic."

"The split in Victoria has greatly shocked the Emperor. We are told to be careful with this director named Chen Qi."

"We can only hope that he keeps his mouth and hands shut and doesn't write nonsense." One of the Simuitai members also said so. However, now that the situation in Terra is becoming increasingly tense, the Yan Nation's top leaders have also smelled something unusual...

The situation in Terra is changing, and the person who is trying to change the balance is actually a small director.

If it is really necessary, perhaps, we should report it to His Majesty for consideration, so that this director can leave his neutrality and use his talents to the benefit of Yan Country...

"However, it is not suitable at the moment. It is still slightly... insufficient."

Chapter 78: Xi: Please don't say a few sarcastic words to Yan Guo in the future

"Nian, you're finally back! I've been waiting for you for so long!"

When Chen Qi heard that Nian and Xi had finally arrived at Casimir, he went to welcome them almost immediately. However, before Chen Qi could greet the two girls, Xi rushed out almost immediately.

The next moment, Chen Qi felt his shoulders being suddenly pressed by Xi. Before Chen Qi could react, he stared straight into Xi's blood-red eyes.

"What about the next four episodes?"

"what?"

"Where are the last four episodes of Yes, Prime Minister? Don't you have them on tape? Nian said you had them!"

Xi was inexplicably excited when she saw Chen Qi, but soon, Nian pulled her embarrassing sister away and said to Chen Qi with an apologetic look:

"I'm sorry, Director Chen Qi! In order to pull a little girl like me out of the painting, I had to use some other means!"

"I showed her the first four episodes of your Yes, Prime Minister, and deliberately didn't show her the last four episodes, just to see if she was interested in it. Unexpectedly, this girl liked it so much that she came with me to see you without saying a word!"

"Even the people from Si Sui Tai were called here... Don't they know that Director Chen Qi can't be implicated in our affairs? My little sister is ignorant, Director Chen Qi, please don't blame her!"

Xi: "Don't talk nonsense! I didn't see you resist those people from Simuitai from bringing you here!"

Xi immediately broke free from Nian's restraints, and regained a little of her original reserve and tranquility. After carefully glancing at Chen Qi, she tried her best to remain calm and said:

"Are you Chen Qi? The director of Yes, Prime Minister? I'm glad you didn't disappoint me. I was still worried that if the director of this movie is not good-looking, I don't know what to do."

...So you are a person who cares about appearance? Oh, me too, that's fine. Chen Qi was immediately surprised that Xi commented on his appearance when they first met - it was obvious that this homely girl hadn't talked to strangers for a long time, so she really couldn't find any topic to talk about.

Xi was completely unaware of this, and continued, "I've heard about what you're going to do from Nian. I'm willing to help you, but I have a request."

"It can be seen that you are a talented playwright, and you are a Yan nationality, right? Judging from your current state of using the pen as a blade, within five or six years, the Yan nationality court will definitely hear about the shock you have brought. You will be accepted as an official in the court, and your future will be bright."

"And if you ever see this day in the future, please don't forget our support for you today. We also hope that you can use your pen to change the situation of those of us who are not accepted as much as possible in the future."

Xi thought a lot after watching "Yes, Prime Minister". Although she had less idea about the operation of Victoria's civil service system than most Terrans, even so, Xi was still moved to smile by the vivid plot.

Later she thought about the reason and realized that the basis of the drama "Yes, Prime Minister" does not require you to know how well you know Victoria's civil service system. As long as you are a human being and understand "the ways of the world", the drama basically seems stress-free.

In addition to this, Xi also thought of another side - if Chen Qi could express such bitter and difficult politics in such a humorous way, then one day in the future, if he became an official of Yan State, could he also use this method to change their situation?

Although this idea was a bit naive, Xi also thought that the possibility was very low, and even if Chen Qi was not careful, he would get himself killed...

That's why she used the word "as much as possible". She didn't actually expect Chen Qi to repay her in this way...but what if?

"Even if you say a few sarcastic words to them, I will consider it as your repayment of the favor."

Xi's words also shocked Chen Qi and Nian, especially Nian. She didn't expect her sister to be so bold. This cowardly sister was only slightly angry with her, but wasn't she scared to death of her other brothers and sisters? Not to mention the imperial court.

It can be said that Xi is one of the people who fears Yan Country the most, but now she is actually eager to use Chen Qi's work to be sarcastic and hit back at Yan Country?

Is this something she could say?! Even the eldest brother, the second brother, and the third sister wouldn't dare to say it!

Or did this silly girl open the door to some new world after watching "Yes, Prime Minister"? Did she start to develop in a different direction?

"You silly girl! What are you talking about?!"

This time, Nian hit Xi on the forehead without mercy. Xi's forehead was buzzing from the sudden blow. Nian quickly supported her. For the first time, a wry smile appeared on his face. He said to Chen Qi:

"Director Chen Qi, my sister has been staying at home for too long and can't speak. Don't take her words seriously!"

Nian knew that these words were not only said to Chen Qi, but also to the people from Si Suitai who might be monitoring them at any time - Nian and Xi had been much more well-behaved in recent years, so Si Suitai had put less effort into them, and they were still relatively free, but that was only based on the premise that the two of them were separated.

Whenever two "Sui" gather together, given the moral character of those people in Si Sui Tai, they would have reported the matter to the imperial court. By then, one can't say how many eyes will be watching them from behind!

And now Xi said this, it really confirmed that they were going to do something big! Her silly sister! This was going to kill her!

However, facing Nian's sneer, Chen Qi slowly came back to his senses, and he noticed Xi's serious expression. After a long while, he replied hesitantly:

"On the premise that I won't cause any harm to myself or others...I'll do my best?"

As soon as Chen Qi said this, the whole scene fell into a strange silence. Until Xi's face showed a peaceful smile, nodded and said:

"...I believe you. Although you are just an ordinary person, I think you are more trustworthy than many hypocritical people."

Because Chen Qi didn't say so much at the beginning. Generally speaking, the more confident a person is, the less likely he or she will be able to do it in the end. Chen Qi's answer was obviously made after careful consideration.

"So, can we start filming now?"

"Well - but before that, give me the next four episodes of Yes, Prime Minister."

Of course Xi had not forgotten that she had not finished watching the last four episodes. She would never want to start work before she had finished watching all of them.

……

A few days later, in Kazdel, Tracys was handling government affairs as usual, and beside him, Manfred handed him a stack of documents and said:

"Prime Minister, here is the report sent by the Military Committee. We are strictly enforcing the new labor law. After the departure of the Self-Defense Army and the implementation of the new labor law, strikes and riots in Londinium have indeed decreased a lot."

"Well, the residents of Londinium are still very wary of us, but there are indeed fewer riots and strikes." Theresis seemed to be accustomed to Manfred calling him "Prime Minister", as if it was an intimate name between their trio.

Occasionally, Tracy would still call Manfred "Bernar" and the Blood Demon Lord "Humphrey", and there were even a few times when they had disagreements in meetings, and they would occasionally use the names from the play, but no one took it seriously anymore.

The reason for the quarrel... was also because of Tresis's recent new policy: no Sarkaz are allowed to harm or kill the residents of Londinium without reason, and they must help the local residents of Londinium rebuild the war-damaged parts of the city, which is effective for all Sarkaz.

"The Blood Demon Lord is not complaining just once. He has no fresh blood to drink." Manfred also reminded Tracys:

"General, forgive me for being blunt, but if we want to face the outside world in unison, we must first stabilize the internal situation. Now is not the right time to restrain the Blood Demon Lord."

"——But we can't destroy our long-term construction of Londinium just because of him."

And Tresis now has different ideas. He said to Manfred: "We are not just trying to appease the residents of Londinium. Bernard, what I want to do is to turn Londinium, this mobile city, into the beginning of the revival of our Kazdel."

"The situation is getting more and more serious now. Victoria is divided and the dukes are unable to take care of themselves. We must take advantage of the fact that we can still use Londinium to transport resources to Kazdel and try our best to get the local residents to cooperate with us."

"Let Lord Blood Demon be patient for a while, or find a few death row prisoners and capture them from other mobile cities."

"...General, the atmosphere is not right recently. I feel something big is going to happen." Manfred, as a general, also showed some uneasiness. And this time, before Tracys could speak, suddenly, a noise attracted the attention of the two.

…That was the sound of a city defense cannon, but it wasn’t from Londinium, otherwise it wouldn’t be so light.

"——All city defense forces are called back immediately! Manfred, come with me to the city wall to observe the enemy situation!"

Tracy stood up almost immediately, and the two of them ran towards the city wall as fast as they could. Several pardoners also followed them up the city wall in order to protect Tracy.

As a result, Theresa, who was watching all this, appeared at the city wall early, but no one paid attention to her as a "body".

"After all, the war happened."

"Director Chen Qi, now, is the Sarkaz going to rely on your power again?"

Theresa stared into the distance. In the yellow sand and haziness, Theresa could vaguely feel the continuation of the war... She subconsciously held the mobile phone that Chen Qi gave her in her pocket and fell into a state of hesitation.

Should I involve this innocent person in this war?

And, if he is really involved, can he really stop the war again, just like he did when he split Victoria?

Chapter 79: Theresa's expectations for Chen Qi, the man who stirs up the earth

Although the first shot of the war had already been fired in Victoria, Chen Qi and his group in Casimir knew nothing about it - after all, Chen Qi did not have his own intelligence network, he just had a wide network of contacts, and if other forces were unwilling to share intelligence with him, he would not know anything.

What's more, the entire Casimir top brass is now hiding the news about him, fearing that his film might affect the entire war situation during the war, just like it indirectly affected the Victorian Split - although the Casimir top brass also thinks this is impossible.

After all, war is completely different from the environment in peacetime. The turmoil in peacetime may cause a series of reactions due to some trigger, but the progress of war cannot be changed by one or two movies.

But even so, Casimir's approach was the safest of the safe. Not only could it ensure that Chen Qi's side was kept in the dark and didn't know what was happening on Victoria's side, he even planted two "spies" - the Black Knight and the Blood Knight - to keep Chen Qi informed of the progress of the movie at any time.

Logically speaking, everything should be foolproof... and on the crew side, Chen Qi also started filming "Darkest Hour", for which he finally met Silver Gray who played the protagonist.

"Then, regarding the arms order that you need, Mr. Silver Gray, I can help you get in touch with them - if you don't mind getting these arms from the Sarkaz."

"What a generous help, Director Chen Qi. Should I say that you are worthy of being the one who is sheltered by both 'Heaven' and 'Hell'?"

SilverAsh traveled all the way to Casimir via the only railway in Kjerag. On the way, he and Gnosis finally understood why this most famous director in all of Terra dared to say that one of his plays had divided a country - because he really had this "record".

The information he learned along the way also quietly changed Yinhui's mentality. He thought he was the stronger party in this "negotiation", but after coming here, he found that he was the weaker party compared to the Yan countryman in front of him who seemed to have no sense of oppression.

But now, in order to get him to play the leading role in the film called "Darkest Hour", Chen Qi can not only connect him with the arms orders from the Sarkaz, but also connect him with Rhodes Island for the business of mineralogy inhibitors.

Although the latter were of little use to the Kjerag people, after all, there were almost no people infected with the Ore Disease in Kjerag, but SilverAsh's sister unexpectedly needed these things... He was originally thinking about sending his infected sister out of Kjerag for treatment.

"You are so generous, don't you really need Kalan Trade to do anything for you?"

"Of course there is, Mr. Silver Gray." Chen Qi also put forward his own request to the boss in front of him, saying:

"In the future, our crew may need some snowy mountain scenes for filming. Although we can solve this problem internally, our set designers may not be working at any time. So I hope that if we need to film in Kjerag in the future, I can trouble you to make it convenient for us."

"If there is anything else I can ask of you, please make sure you play the protagonist of Darkest Hour to the best of your ability. In addition, we would also like you to help us develop the market in Kjerag so that every household in Kjerag can watch our films and TV series."

Of course, Chen Qi would not miss any opportunity to gain more reputation points, even if it was Kjerag. Now Chen Qi's popularity has almost covered the entire Terra continent's top leaders, and only a few marginal countries have not yet been affected.

But Chen Qi would never have too much reputation points. If he could push Kjerag to popularize LAN and television, it would also be a stable income. Moreover, he had a legitimate reason to do it. Why not do it?

"that's it?"

"That's right." Chen Qi also nodded, looking directly at Yinhui's slightly incredible expression, and said with a smile:

"Don't think this role is easy to handle. My requirements are very strict, Mr. SilverAsh."
