Chapter 218: Vigilance

Phimes stood outside the study door anxiously.

It had been almost five minutes since her mentor Morgan entered, but there was no movement in the room.

Not only her mentor, but also other actors from the Baijinghua Troupe have not come out of this study since they entered this study.

No... is something wrong?

Fimes walked back and forth outside the door anxiously.

She once heard a rumor that the Baijinghua Theater was able to rise so quickly, and that the 'movie', a performance form that can only be described as magical, was shown in the Baijinghua Theater.

That's because of the rumors that Sir Baibuhua once made a deal with the devil in private, and the manager of the theater dedicated his soul and life to a powerful demon.

She heard these rumors from some colleagues, even after watching "Beauty and the Devil" and "This Devil Is Not So Cold".

The image of the devil in her mind gradually changed from the "cunning and treacherous monster that feeds on human flesh and soul" that the church propagated. ’ became ‘a somewhat dull handsome uncle’.

When Fimes thought of the word devil, the image of Leon in "This Devil Is Not So Cold" filled her mind.

It was undeniable that Fimes knew that demons were indeed not a friendly race, at least compared to neutral races like dwarves and elves, it was a fact that demons were at war with the kingdom of frost and the kingdom of the Holy Order.

Could it really be eaten by a powerful demon?

Fimes finally couldn't bear it any longer, she put her hairy ears on the door of the room and began to eavesdrop on the conversation inside.

The moment she got close to the door of the room, she heard someone behind the door shouting 'next one'.

Femes immediately looked left and right, and there were no actors from the White Thorn Flower Troupe waiting outside the door, which meant that she could finally go in and participate in the casting of the new movie.

To be honest... Femes was somewhat resistant to participating in the movie and looked forward to it, but in order to confirm her mentor's comfort, she let her open the door of the room.

She walked into the middle of the room, looked around, and soon saw Mentor Morgan sitting on the sofa on the other side of the room.

Fei Meisi breathed a sigh of relief, and wanted to call out her mentor's name, at this moment she suddenly found that Morgan was holding a stack of white papers in his hand and flipping through it intently, so focused that he didn't even notice Fei Meisi Step into this room.

She gave up the idea of ​​saying hello to her mentor, because she knew that the great dramatist would only be so focused when he got a good script.

It would be disrespectful to interrupt Mr. Morgan rashly at such a time.

"You... are the most involved actor in the casting?"

"Eh? Uh...um, yes."

Femes held her breath and didn't want to speak out, and planned to greet her after Mentor Morgan finished reading the script.

But someone broke the silence in the study room first, Femes subconsciously replied, when she saw clearly the figure sitting behind the desk, her ears pricked up as if she had discovered something dangerous .

"demon!"

Femes covered her mouth to suppress her urge to scream, and instantly took a step back.

"It's true that you are a demon, but I don't think I should be so scary yet."

Looking at the other party's excessive reaction, Qiao Xiu was like seeing an 'alien' sticking its tongue out at you in the dark.

"..."

Fei Meisi quickly calmed down. Joshua's appearance was no different from that of a human being. What really scared Fei Meisi was... the smell emanating from Qiao Xiu's hand came from the smell of the dead.

Maybe ordinary humans can't feel it, but because of her race, she 'smelled' the death breath that almost made her unable to breathe for the first time.

"Sorry, didn't expect this to scare you."

Based on Femes' gaze, Joshua quickly figured out the reason why the girl with animal ears was frightened.

The mark of the contract that the Skeleton Lord imprinted on Qiao Xiu's hand is also a part of the undead monarch...

Joshua blocked the palm of the hand with the imprint down, and the pricked ears on Fimes' head slowly eased.

But she still remained alert to Joshua.

"Your mentor told me that your name is Femes?" Joshua said.

"Um... yes."

Femes didn't expect that her mentor would sell her family property to this demon so easily.

If "This Devil Is Not So Cold" helped Fei Meisi reduce a lot of prejudice against demons, but the death breath emanating from Joshua made it impossible for Fei Meisi to ignore it.

Could it be... This demon really sacrificed the lives of tens of millions of people like rumors?

"Miss Fimes... If I'm not mistaken, you are not completely human."

Joshua stared at the furry ears on her forehead, which were not the ears a human being should have.

"..."

Fimes, who had been in a state of vigilance, covered her ears with both hands, and did not intend to answer Joshua's question. She looked at Morgan sitting aside from time to time.

I hope her mentor can quickly take her out of this dangerous place.

Skeletal Lord's aura is too scary for this little girl, and Joshua may have been labeled as a 'too dangerous to approach' character in Fei Meisi's eyes.

"A brand new movie is under preparation. I hope you, Miss Fimes, can join the crew and become one of the actors."

Before Joshua handed over the script of the movie to Morgan to watch, Morgan had revealed to Joshua the girl's life experience... Her mother was the 'Lord of the Forest'.

The so-called lord of the forest is just a name that humans call her, a name that contains awe. In fact, Fimes' mother is a powerful monster.

"Sorry, I'm not going to…"

Fimes admits that she yearns to become a movie actor, and this opportunity is right in front of her eyes, but she still can't forget the breath of death that made her palpitate just now!

Therefore, for the sake of her own life and the life of Morgan's mentor, Phimes originally wanted to reject the temptation of this demon.

"Calm down, Fimes."

But Morgan, sitting on the other side, interrupted Fimes.

"Mr. Morgan, I feel a terrible breath of death from him."

When Fimes said this, her tone gradually weakened, and finally the alert expression on her face was replaced by surprise, because she saw the tears on the old cheeks of Mentor Morgan...

Morgan quickly controlled his emotions, and returned the script to Joshua with both hands.

"It's a good story," Morgan said.

"This good story requires excellent actors to present it to everyone in the form of a movie." Joshua replied.

After a few seconds of brief silence, the drama master let out a sigh after glancing at a Fallowhi painting called "Revolution" on the wall behind Qiao Xiu.

"Please be sure to let me participate in the performance of this movie." He said in a sincere tone.
