Chapter 1074 Unpredictable Ending

Graycastle, the old royal capital, the inner city theater.

Warm applause came from outside the study room, which meant the curtain call for another outstanding performance.

And Kajin Feisi’s reading has come to an end.

He took off his glasses, rubbed his tired eyes, then closed the script and put it back in the stand next to the table.

The title on the spine of the book is "Wolf Heart Romance".

Not only that, but the scripts that are most conveniently placed in the cabinet include "Witch Stories", "New City", "Dawn", etc. These were all farewell gifts given to him by May before leaving Neverwinter. Although many people in the troupe thought it was a naked satire, he accepted it all and took it back to the theater to read it several times.

It's not because the script itself is so exciting - the creator is undoubtedly a novice, and the arrangement of the scenes is also very straightforward, and he is basically at the introductory stage of telling the story clearly, but if he doesn't do this, nothing else will work. Done.

Kajin found himself losing the desire to create.

As soon as he picked up the pen, the scene in the shadow would appear in his mind.

In the past, this was supposed to be the stage of the Grand Theater.

He could not conceive of the positioning of the actors and the arrangement of the scenery, just as it was difficult to be satisfied with the sweetness of dew after tasting honey. In the shadow, the whole world became a stage for performances, and there was no longer a gap between the audience and the actors. This shocking sight opened a new door for him, but then he was rejected. outside the door.

Even if he only glanced inside, Ka Jin could no longer look back.

To be precise, it's not that he doesn't want to create anymore, but any thoughts that come up will be put into the shadow for consideration unconsciously. For example, the close-up of the prince's smile when he first met the princess, the bleak background that gradually zoomed out when the two parted... Thoughts like this came out wildly, almost without stopping for a moment.

Phantom gave him countless things he wanted to try, but none of them were related to theater stories.

It is this contradiction that makes Kajin Feis feel extremely uncomfortable.

Only when he read through the script could he temporarily forget about these troubles.

But he also knew that this could only be used to provide some relief.

May's reluctance to disclose and the fact that the Administration Office did not reply... meant that Neverwinter City had completely closed its door to him. Before he found a new channel of understanding, he knew that he would continue to suffer.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door from the maid outside the room, "Master, I have some letters for you."

Ka Jin closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair, "Put it outside, I will look at it later."

After the play, Roentgen, Eggerpo and others would usually come to the study to discuss their experiences and confusion about the performance. He planned to regain some energy before that.

"But... there is a letter inside with the emblem of the Royal Family of Graycastle printed on it. You have ordered that if the letter is sent from Neverwinter City, it must be handed in as soon as possible-"

Before the maid finished speaking, Ka Jin opened the door.

"Where is the letter?"

The frightened latter hurriedly handed over a stack of letters, and then watched helplessly as the drama master picked out the royal letter from it and stuffed the other letters back in one piece.

Then the door was closed.

Ka Jin returned to the desk and eagerly opened the sealing wax.

This is a letter from King Wimbledon to him!

Could it be that the other party finally knew that the Cajun Theater Troupe had been to Neverwinter and wanted to present a play for the coronation ceremony?

If we could contact the King of Graycastle, wouldn't the Demon Shadow be found as well?

He suppressed his excitement, spread out the letter and looked down.

…

"How many roses did you receive today?" Eggpo joked on the way to the study.

"About ten, no details," Röntgen shrugged, "It's less than before anyway. Although I don't care."

"If those admirers hear this, their hearts will probably be broken in half." Egepo laughed, "The reduction in numbers is inevitable. Your Majesty sent half of the nobles to the mines, and here too Now that it has become the old royal capital, the number of people who have time to enjoy dramas is naturally no more than before. But as long as the city remains, everything will slowly return to its original state."

"My opinion is that it would be nice if there are still people sending flowers," Bernice curled her lips. "There used to be six troupes, but now there are only three left. I hope we won't become the next one."

Röntgen's expression also became quite emotional, "Yes, that war really changed a lot..."

"Ahem, two ladies, we also need to see the benefits." Eggpo coughed twice, "Isn't the rapid expansion of the Cajun Theater Company precisely because of the absorption of people from those three companies? We cannot control the change of kingship. , but history has changed so many times, and everyone still lives the same? In short, cheer up, the teacher is still waiting for us - don't let him see us discouraged."

When it came to Cajun Face, everyone couldn't help but nodded. Yes, the teacher seemed to have suddenly aged several years since he came back from Neverwinter. It's all because Mei Yi refused to reveal the origin of the demon shadow, and even used the possibility of being involved in secrets as a banner. Now that things have come to this, they naturally have to work harder.

"Teacher, excuse me—"

Walking to the study, Ai Gepo opened the door, and then was slightly stunned.

There seemed to be something wrong with the atmosphere in the room.

Ka Jin did not sit on the soft couch and wait for their arrival as before, but stood blankly in front of the table, looking absent-minded. After a while, he looked at them and said, "...come in."

"Teacher, what happened?" Bernice also noticed something strange about the other party.

"There is a letter from Neverwinter. It is written by His Majesty the King." Cajin picked up the letter on the desk and handed it to everyone, "You should also read it."

"Is this... okay?"

"It doesn't matter."

After getting the signal, Egger took the letter.

Others immediately gathered around.

Looking at everyone's expectant expressions, Ka Jin secretly sighed. Apparently, they were thinking the same thing as when they saw the letter - someone secretly blocked the transmission of the message, which caused the troupe to return to the old capital without doing anything. Now that His Majesty knows about it, the person who caused the obstruction will be in trouble.

But he guessed the beginning, but failed to guess the ending.

His Majesty indeed satisfied his curiosity, and succinctly explained the principle of the Phantom in the letter - an "instrument" created and activated by a witch that can record the scene of the incident is the key to the Phantom. However, just having witches is not enough. It uses some items left over from ancient times. These items are extremely rare and can be encountered but cannot be obtained. Therefore, the "instruments" are also extremely rare, and they are rare items that have neither price nor market.

The other party wrote bluntly, "We are currently on the eve of a crisis-ridden war. All resources in each territory must prioritize the survival of Graycastle, and the Shadow is no exception. You must have seen the shock it brings. In spreading ideas, In terms of publicity and awareness, it plays an extremely important role, so unfortunately it cannot be used in dramas that have nothing to do with national policy."

"But this situation will not last forever. After the kingdom has ushered in true peace, Shadow will eventually become a new form of drama that everyone can film. By then, I believe that you and your troupe will be able to retain Excellent work."

If this is the case, it can only be regarded as helpless at best.

It's a pity that His Majesty doesn't really think so.

He received notification from the Executive Office from the very beginning, and the person who rejected the new script was none other than His Majesty Roland Wimbledon himself.

This is what hit Kajin the most.

Offering gifts to celebrate the king's enthronement turned out to be just wishful thinking on his part.

In fact, the other party was not prepared to take Cajun Theater seriously at all. If even the carefully crafted new drama could not catch the king's eye, then the rhetoric of "leaving a masterpiece behind" in the letter was just a cliché.

Not only was he self-righteous, but he also indirectly hurt May.
