Chapter 113
A warm aura filled the entire dining hall. In an instant, the temperature of the dining hall increased by several degrees.
The guards and mages that followed the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe imdiately revealed their weapons.
Four pale-faced won were floating in midair. Their semi-transparent bodies revealed to everyone present that they were not living beings.
Specters!
The experienced guards and mages soon determined the identities of the four won. But, those four specters were wearing very delicate maid attires.
From their appearances, they do not resemble the unsettled ghosts of adventurers that died tragically. If it wasn’t for the fact that their bodies were semi-transparent, people might even see them as maids from a certain noble family.
What confused the crowd even more was the fact that those four demonesses were emitting a faint warmth. The dead shouldn’t possess any body temperature at all!
The four demonesses were not emitting any hostility. Quietly, they stood behind Joshua.
This made it difficult for the guards and mages to attack them...
“Those are Day Banshees... Eh, young miss, I think you should step back. I kept feeling like that demon is planning sothing malicious.”
The Blackwood Elf accompanying Gallolei and hiding in the shadows the entire ti seed to possess better understanding of the undead.
She imdiately recognized the four won behind Joshua to not be ordinary specters. Rather, they were extrely rare mutants among specters... the Day Banshees.
Day Banshees would only appear once a specter managed to completely purify their resentnt post-death. They would gradually transform from a dangerous undead to a demoness or forest spirit.
Most ironic of all, not only could Day Banshees walk under the sun, they even possess the power of the Holy Light.
Using necromancer’s terms to describe them, the highest level existences among Day Banshees could be considered as Heroic Spirits or Holy Spirits. But, only the souls of heroes that had received blessings could beco that sort of spirit creature.
The four won behind Joshua were ordinary Day Banshees.
The four Day Banshees were a pleasant surprise that occurred after Joshua finished filming ‘Beauty and the Demon.’ After filming ‘Beauty and the Demon,’ they might have been affected by the mood of the villagers and underwent this sort of transformation.
Unfortunately, they did not gain self-awareness.
“The Day Banshees do not view human souls as food like ordinary banshees. You all don’t have to worry. Compared to you all, they are much more interested in the sunlight outside.”
That was the reason why Joshua dared to reveal the four Day Banshees before the mbers of the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe. If ordinary banshees were existences of chaos and evil, then Day Banshees would be included toward the good and benevolence.
Besides, there existed a Necromancy Association acknowledged by Norland’s legislative assembly in this city. Albeit, they were, like Squirrel Street, not welcod by the people of Norland.
“Flay, don’t worry about ,” Gallolei said quietly to her elven guard behind her. Then, she turned to look at Old rck, “I think we can begin the performance now.”
“Of course, Lady Gallolei.”
No matter what, Old rck was soone with a mage certificate. He was not afraid of ordinary specters at all, much less those four demonesses that were completely different from the eerie specters.
The only thing Old rck was feeling tangled by was the fact that the legendary cara operators were actually undeads! Must he and his apprentices change their profession to necromancers in order to learn the thod of filming?
Instructed by Joshua, Old rck sat beside a table in the center of the tavern. Léon was sitting across from him.
The Day Banshees picked up the cara and revolved around Old rck. Even though the Day Banshees completely disappeared upon starting their filming, the warm sensation around him inford Old rck that there were several demonesses around him!
But, this aged actor soon managed to calm himself. Furthermore, he entered character.
“Léon: The Demon, Scene 1. Act 1. Action!”
Joshua took out a wooden clapper board and gently clapped it. The filming for the prologue began.
So of the dialogues in ‘Léon: The Demon’ have been replaced by concepts from this world. Take narcotics for example, they were changed to magic craving crystals.
Magic craving crystals were dangerous originium crystals. They were capable of intensifying a mage’s power but possess enormous side effects. They were a real sort of originium crystal that existed in this world.
In Norland, magic craving crystals were absolutely banned. In the movie, Joshua ntioned them very ambiguously. He believes that it shouldn’t be censored by Norland.
Besides that would be Léon’s weapon. It was a special sort of magic staff with an ability similar to firearms.
Apart from those, many other earth items in the movie were also replaced with their equivalents in this world. As for the story line, it was not altered too much.
The only thing left was to see if the actors of this world would be able to act out the charm of the original movie.
It turned out that Joshua’s worries were unnecessary. Both Deceiver Pluk and the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe’s perforrs all possess outstanding acting abilities.
Without a hitch, day one’s filming finished by evening ti.
“This... is much more interesting than stage play rehearsals.”
Before the mbers of the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe were about to depart to return, Joshua invited them to watch the result of their filming today.
It just so happened that they managed to finish filming the ‘restaurant gun battle’ scene today.
When the film reached the point where Léon slowly appeared from the darkness and place a knife on the mafia head’s neck, Old rck who has read the script multiple tis and even personally perford in it today still couldn’t help but gasp.
To the mbers of the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe, the filming of the movie was sothing completely novel. After the filming was completed and all the various sections stitched together, the story beca even more marvelous!
Old rck rembered that this was called... the cara shot! Joshua has been emphasizing on the cara shot the entire ti while filming. And now, he finally understood its importance.
Once they finished watching the preview for the prologue, all the people present started clapping. Perhaps this was the other reason why movies had a stronger sort of visual performance than stage plays.
After they finished the preview, the mbers of the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe, both perforrs and bystanders, all prepared to leave for Madam Schroder’s mansion.
Even though Joshua had reserved the entire hotel Black Dove, no one was willing to spend the night in Squirrel Street.
But, at the ti when the mbers of the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe got on the horse carriages in twos or threes, one perforr chose to stay.
It was not Miss Black Swan. Rather, it was the Frost Elf Joshua t once during the audition.
Originally, she had followed the mbers of the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe and left the filming site. But, she soon ran back.
“Miss Tylene, is there sothing you need?” asked Joshua.
