Chapter 1075 Young Heart

"..." After reading the letter, everyone fell into a strange silence.

After a while, Bernice muttered unwillingly, "I knew I shouldn't expect blessings from that fourth prince. Thinking about the places he often went to in the royal capital and his reputation, I thought that becoming the throne made him... "

"Shh," Eggpo pulled the other party's arm, "be careful, the nobles who come in and out of here are all supporters of His Majesty the King. Even if they are not, they will pretend to be. If someone hears you say this, I'm afraid It will cause trouble.”

Roentgen sighed, "We probably will never set foot on the territory of the new royal capital in our lifetime."

"That's not bad. We are quite popular here, aren't we?" Eggpo comforted, "In other words, except for Neverwinter, the Cajun Theater Troupe can be called a first-class drama team everywhere and can support itself. Not a problem.”

"Sooner or later, the demonic shadow will come to the old capital." Ka Jin suddenly said, "In the past few days, I have repeatedly read the scripts that Mei has acted in, and found that they all have one thing in common, that is, they are based on a fictional background. The viewer is immersed in silence, and that background is the future planned by His Majesty. Since it is a tool to spread the King's ideas and will, how can it be played only in Neverwinter? Until then, can you still be confident about yourselves? Are you so confident in your drama?"

Ai Gepo was stunned for a moment, "We...we can also go to other places, such as Chenxi. Teacher, as long as you ask, the theater over there will definitely be willing to let us stay."

Ka Jin shook his head, "I won't go to Dawn."

"That……"

The drama master raised his head and said, "I want to go to Neverwinter again."

"What?"

"teacher?"

The three of them were shocked.

"It takes at least a month for the troupe to go back and forth to Neverwinter, and during this period, everyone has almost no income," Eggpo quickly dissuaded, "We will let it go, but the newcomers and apprentices below may not be able to make ends meet, which will affect the stability of the troupe. .”

Of course Ka Jin knows this. When going to perform in other places, it would be better if there is a fixed theater to stay in. Otherwise, he has to bring all the props and materials by himself, which is not an easy job.

But what he meant was not what everyone thought, "I won't take the troupe away."

This time the disciples were stunned for longer, "Then...what are you going to do?"

"Go and compete for the performance opportunity of Demon Shadow." Ka Jin said slowly. "Although His Majesty said that the magic shadow will become popular sooner or later, he did not mention the specific time... ten years, or twenty years? In any case, I can't wait for that long. Even if it is only five years , Star Flower Troupe will reach an unprecedented height, and by then it will be too late for us to catch up and start from scratch to contact Demon Shadow."

The best time to catch a wave is before it raises its head and leaps out of the sea.

"The problem is, His Majesty already has the Star Flower Troupe..." Benice murmured.

"The Xinghua Troupe only had two people, Xing and Hua, at the beginning." Ka Jin glanced at the disciples, "Besides, my thoughts have not changed. An outstanding performance must go through continuous training behind the scenes to reach the best level. Since the drama arranged by His Majesty cannot be taken care of by Xinghua alone, then our joining may not be a solution. If we can outperform the other party in the drama, we might be able to win the opportunity to perform in the Demon Shadow."

"You want to act in those... dramas?" Egepo said in disbelief.

"If you want to get one part, you often have to give up another part." He nodded, "But even if it is a drama, it cannot be a reason to relax. Just go all out."

Ka Jin paused, "Of course, His Majesty may still refuse this request, so I will join the Star Flower Troupe in my own name. Do you want to come with me?"

No one answered.

I don’t know if it’s because he still hasn’t recovered, or because he’s unwilling to leave the old capital.

Maybe a bit of both.

Ka Jin was not surprised. In fact, when he came up with this idea, even he was shocked. As Egepo said, even if he went to Chenxi, he could obtain a high status based on his fame, but now he has to Putting this aside will never be an easy choice.

What's more, he is already old... his memory is not as good as before, and his legs and feet are not flexible enough. What kind of roles can he play on the stage? Usually it's just an unimportant supporting role. No matter how good the performance is, it may still be a joke in the eyes of others.

It can be said that when he became famous and moved from the stage to behind the scenes, he never thought that he would one day come back. Since His Majesty cannot accept his script, and he cannot write a story like this, then the only way is to I tried my hand at being an actor.

Isn’t it incredible?

Ka Jin looked at the expressions of his disciples, as if reading their inner thoughts.

Yes, it was indeed incredible that after making this decision, he actually felt a long-lost sense of relief.

I am indeed old, but strangely, my heart seems to have returned to the time when I followed my family to the theater and saw a play for the first time more than thirty years ago.

The uncontrollable excitement and impulse at this moment is almost exactly the same as when I was young.

He had countless reasons to stop himself, but in the face of that possible opportunity, all the reasons came to nothing.

"Eggpo has been with me for the longest time and has enough knowledge about running the troupe. When I am away, he will temporarily manage it." Ka Jin calmly explained, "Recently, many talented people have joined the troupe. We need more newcomers to show up. As long as the drama is rehearsed normally, I believe there will be no problems."

"Teacher..." The three of them wanted to say something more, but he stopped them.

He followed the voice of his youth.

The voice was telling him.

He wanted to play the Phantom.

*********************

The western border of Graycastle, Neverwinter City.

As Roland expected, after finding the right materials, the weaponization of napalm was astonishingly fast.

In just one week, the Chemical Industry Department put the trial product in front of him.

They were a dozen iron barrels with a diameter of 30 centimeters and a height of about one meter. There were detonating explosives in the center of the iron barrels and connected together with wires.

"Your Majesty, this is the city-burning skyfire thunder designed by you," Leining introduced enthusiastically. "It has three layers in total, namely the special-effect snow powder layer, the combustion-supporting layer and the fuel layer. In order to spread the burning area wider , these three layers are not a simple wrapping structure, but like an inverted mushroom. The fire from the snow powder will hit the combustion-supporting layer and the fuel layer upward, just like an erupting volcano! And..."

Probably because he finally got an opportunity to replace Kaimo Stryer, the chief alchemist who originally belonged to the Royal Capital Alchemy Association talked endlessly about his proud works, and many of his designs really made Roland's eyes dazzle. Bright. In addition to the detonation configuration and combustion-supporting considerations of directional ignition, he also mentioned the idea of ​​delayed detonation for the first time, using the precise controllable characteristics of electric detonators to detonate multiple explosives in sequence, reducing mutual influence while improving the killing effect. . It has to be said that these people at the top of the industry do have extraordinary talents.

For example, Leitning seems to be particularly interested in using chemicals to create explosions.

The only thing that made Roland question was the style and taste of the other person's name.

But these are not big problems. After all, he will be the only one with the right to name it after it is officially commissioned into the army.

"Then let's test your so-called city-burning sky fire now." Roland said with a slight smile.
