After all, they had never heard of so-called movies in the past, nor did they know what so-called movies were.
Coupled with the professional conflicts between knights and magicians, when Du Lin suddenly put the so-called movie in front of them, most of the soldiers naturally had no interest in it at all.
"What the hell is this, a movie? Some boring magic prop?"
"Isn't Captain Brando the son of the Duke of the South? Why do you still have to give face to this baron?"
"I remember that Durin Edward seemed to be a very famous magic genius in our southern region, right? I heard that he became a great magician at a very young age. In terms of status alone, he is even on the same level as Colonel Roy."
"Great magician? Then why did he suddenly come to our military camp?"
"Humph, the noble magician must be so conceited that he wants to show off his abilities and talents. What movie? Such a boring thing, I would never watch it even if I were beaten to death."
"That's right, magicians are just some guys who rely on their natural talents and think they are superior to others. I don't even bother to look at what they create."
"… "
One soldier after another spoke in this way with prejudice.
After all, in this world, where the existence of magicians has a certain natural monopoly, the conflict between ordinary people and magicians will undoubtedly always exist.
However, due to the ideals that the Empire has always advocated and the fact that magicians have indeed played a huge role in many national defense wars, most people still respect magicians.
But in the eyes of these soldiers who are also the guardians of the empire, magicians are just a group of cowards who dare not even go to the battlefield.
Of course, despite their tough words, when the plot of Goblin Slayer really unfolded, most of the soldiers couldn't help but look at the screen in the distance and watch something called a movie...
Chapter 234: The movie is so interesting!
Chapter 234
The story of "Goblin Slayer" gradually began to play out in the barracks of the Southern Border Guard.
Although most soldiers did not think highly of this new thing created by magic, they still could not help but watch its contents.
“Da!” “Da!” “Da!”…
As the sound of footsteps slowly sounded, a Goblin Slayer wearing dirty armor emerged from the dark screen, and all the soldiers' attention was drawn to him at this moment.
Even Captain Brando's expression gradually changed from being carefree and casual to becoming serious.
"This looks like some kind of video recording?"
In response to Sergeant Qiao Sen's curious question, Du Lin replied with a smile:
"It is a method of recording images through magic, but don't worry, the contents are all fictitious stories and have little to do with the real world."
"I see."
Qiao Sen nodded with an expression of understanding, and patiently watched the specific content of "Goblin Slayer" with other soldiers.
After a strange figure in dirty armor appears at the beginning, the picture in the movie quickly becomes brighter.
The perspective switches to the Adventurer's Guild in the town. The young adventurers embark on a journey with their dreams for the future and are determined to destroy the Goblins in order to take the first step towards becoming heroes.
Seeing the composition of the four-member adventure team, Captain Brando's expression suddenly changed slightly. He turned his head to look at Daphne standing next to Durin and said in surprise:
"Sister, why are you in there too?"
Daphne didn't know how to explain this and could only lower her head in embarrassment.
Du Lin explained:
"Daphne is an excellent actress in our studio. She participated in the main recording of the movie Goblin Slayer and played the leading female role in it."
"Heroine?"
Surprised by this fact, Brando was stunned for a moment before finally nodding helplessly.
At the same time, the four-member team in the picture also started their first adventure with the innocence and romance of boys and girls.
For this reason, seeing the immature and reckless appearance of the adventurers, the soldiers all remembered themselves when they first stepped onto the battlefield, and they couldn't help but look forward to the final outcome of these new adventurers.
However, what made all the soldiers change their faces was that the goblins in the cave were so cunning and despicable beyond imagination. The young adventurers who had just entered the cave had no way to resist these ugly and evil creatures and were soon treated inhumanely.
In the blink of an eye, two of the four adventurers who had excitedly rushed into the Goblin Cave were killed and one was injured, leaving only a blonde priestess who escaped with difficulty.
"how so?"
"You are still too young after all."
"How tragic! Such a young girl was treated like this by such a monster..."
"Is there no one coming to rescue them?"
"… "
The soldiers couldn't help but talk about this, and each of them wanted to rush into the story to help these poor young adventurers.
However, stories are just stories after all. The blonde priestess was eventually caught up by the dirty and ugly goblins and was about to be defiled by the monster like other female adventurers.
Seeing this scene, Du Lin noticed that Captain Brando beside him exuded a terrifying oppressive force, and couldn't help but move a little further away from him.
Soon, just when everyone was finding it hard to bear the misfortune of such a young and lovely girl, a slight sound of footsteps suddenly came from the other end of the cave.
“Da!” “Da!” “Da!”…
A sudden burst of faint firelight was like a sharp sword that split the darkness, illuminating the entire screen and making all the soldiers' hearts suddenly rise.
"Who is this guy?"
"I seemed to have seen him at the beginning."
"Good guy? Or bad guy?"
"… "
Amidst the doubtful and nervous gazes, the Goblin Slayer, who made his debut, exploded at an extremely fast speed and killed all the goblins that were chasing the blonde priestess in the blink of an eye.
The skill and neatness of the movements were beyond the imagination of all the soldiers.
It can be said that even in the southernmost part of the empire, the imperial soldiers who often fought against magical beasts in undeveloped territories did not think they had such skilled skills to get rid of these cunning goblins so quickly.
Of course, this is also because most of the soldiers are fighting against giant monsters and do not have much experience in fighting against small monsters.
All in all, when the Goblin Slayer suddenly appeared and saved the blonde priestess, all the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of their hearts, and found that they had completely immersed themselves in the story without realizing it, completely forgetting their previous contempt for movies and disdain for the things created by magicians.
"It's really exciting. The name of this movie is Goblin Slayer, right? So this dirty-looking but experienced magical man is the protagonist of the movie?"
Qiao Sen's words symbolized that he had quickly gotten into the mood. Compared to Captain Brando, he was obviously more receptive to something new like movies.
Captain Brando looked at the man in the movie with dissatisfaction.
Although he did not speak, Du Lin on the side always felt that the other party must be dissatisfied why he did not save Daphne personally in the movie, but let this strange man take the limelight.
Indistinctly, Du Lin discovered the subtle fact that Captain Brando seemed to be a sister-con...
Soon, after all the soldiers completely forgot their previous speeches and immersed themselves in the movie, the pace of the entire movie became faster.
The Goblin Slayer skillfully killed all the goblins in the cave, even their cubs were not spared. He said, "Only goblins who don't appear in front of people are good goblins," and then killed all the goblin cubs.
Faced with this story that fully describes the conflicts between races and is as bloody and unconcealed as a battlefield, all the soldiers are completely immersed in it at this moment.
After all, on the southernmost battlefield of the empire, every soldier of the border guards experienced fierce and difficult battles day and night.
During this period, I experienced despair, fear, and the sacrifice of my comrades...
This made it easy for them to feel immersed in the movie "Goblin Slayer" and completely forget what they had just said.
"This thing called a movie is really interesting!"
This became the common thought of almost all the soldiers on the scene!
Chapter 235 "Goblin Slayer" is so good!
Chapter 235
"Goblin Slayer" was screened for nearly three hours in total. During these three hours, all the southern border guards were immersed in the thrilling adventure story.
From the first appearance of Goblin Slayer, the rescue of Priestess, to the subsequent multiple destruction of Goblin nests, and the addition of new adventurers...
Although the soldiers of the Imperial Border Guard do not understand the life of an adventurer and have never been an adventurer, they are still completely immersed in the story, as if they have become an ordinary adventurer, following the Goblin Slayer and his companions to wipe out the rebellious goblins.
It can be said that the new experience brought by the movie completely exceeded the imagination of these soldiers. It allowed them, who had been stationed on the border with almost no entertainment, to gain long-lost happiness and feel the charm of the movie.
Finally, as the final plot of the movie unfolds, the Goblin King's annihilation war comes to an end. The ending song plays, and all the soldiers show expressions of wanting more.
"I never thought that the life of adventurers would be so exciting. After I retire, should I try to be an adventurer?"
"Come on, there aren't any monsters for you to kill in our southern border. The best outcome of being an adventurer is to do odd jobs for others on a daily basis."
"Yes, but in addition to the South Territory, the Empire also has three other regions. The East Territory, the West Territory, and the North Territory have a large number of demons and monsters. The North Territory, in particular, is said to be a real graveyard for rookies. Only the most experienced and powerful adventurers can survive in such a dangerous place."
"The North. The adventurers' lives described in the movie are so dangerous. In a sense, it seems to be a true portrayal of the North. That place is adjacent to the Chaos Mountains, and behind the Chaos Mountains is the mysterious Chaos Realm. No matter what kind of terrifying monster appears, it will not surprise anyone."
"In comparison, our Southern Territory is quite peaceful. After all, although the undeveloped areas in the south are also very dangerous, the Dukes of the Southern Territory have focused on building border outposts facing the south. Now, we have completely controlled the magic tides that occasionally erupt in the undeveloped areas. Basically, no monsters can bypass the outposts and enter the Southern Territory."
"This is indeed the credit of the successive Dukes of the Southern Territory. The people of the Southern Territory have always respected the Duke of the Southern Territory because they know that the Duke's family has always been working hard for the peace and development of the Southern Territory."
"By the way, this movie is really great. If I hadn't known in advance that everything in it was fake and made up, I would have really believed that there were such dangerous goblins in the world, and that Goblin Slayer and his team were working hard to eliminate these dangerous creatures."
"Yeah, the goblins in the movie are really abominable. If such disgusting creatures really exist in our empire, I will be the first to apply to join Knight Commander Wycliffe's Monster Extermination Squad and wipe out all the monsters!"
"And I really want to see the sequel. Is this the only movie? Even if there's no Goblin Slayer, I'd like to see other movies."
"Yeah, to be honest, the border is really boring. Everyday, apart from training, I just count stones on the ground. If I could always have movies to watch, no, at least one movie to watch every month, I would be very happy!"
"Don't even mention once a month, once every six months will be fine."
“Goblin Slayer is so good!”
"… "
The soldiers' discussions were heard everywhere. For the soldiers stationed on the border, daily life was too dull and boring. Although they had a mission, they did not find such days very difficult, but they still hoped that there would be something to relieve this boring time.
Now, after watching the movie "Goblin Slayer", all the soldiers hope to see more exciting movies to add some spice to their boring daily life.
Feeling the mentality of most soldiers, Captain Brando, who was standing aside, immediately showed an expression of emotion.
As the eldest son of the Duke's family and even the actual leader of the military camp, he should not have thought too much about entertainment products such as movies.
However, after seeing the movie, like most soldiers, he became curious and expectant about the so-called movie.
After all, the movie in front of him was completely different from the stage plays and operas he had seen before. Although they also presented stories in the form of performances, they had a completely different sense of reality and oppression from the latter.
After watching the movie, he was not bored and sleepy like he had been after watching an opera before. Instead, he was extremely awake and expectant, and he couldn't wait to see the sequel or even other exciting movies.
Of course, the only problem for Captain Brando is that his sister appears in too many intimate scenes with the Goblin Slayer.
Although he knew that this was all acting and that there was no Goblin Slayer or such a team that specialized in killing goblins, he still couldn't simply ignore it...
Ahem, of course, this is just my responsibility as a brother, I don’t have any other extra thoughts…
Anyway, after watching the movie, Captain Brando came to his senses and slowly spoke to Durin beside him:
"I understand now. This is what a movie is. It is indeed something very novel and interesting. I apologize for my previous disrespect."
"It doesn't matter, Sir Captain. After all, the purpose of my making movies is nothing else but to bring fun to everyone in this world and change this boring world."
"Change the world?"
Hearing Durin's second-year speech, Captain Brando was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:
"I see. I finally understand why my father has such high expectations for you. You are indeed a unique and talented magician. By the way, you said before that you came to our station to find actors. Are the so-called actors like the characters in the movie just now, people who play their own roles in the movie?"
"Yes, this time I came here specially to shoot a new movie and I hope to find a main actor who meets my requirements."
"Specially? Why? This is the military. If you want to find actors, shouldn't you go to a theater company?"
In response to Brando's confusion, Durin did not take the initiative to respond. He just smiled mysteriously and said:
"I think you will know the answer to this question soon."
Chapter 236 I don't want to be a human anymore, JOJO!
Chapter 236
After showing the movie to the border guards and agreeing with Captain Brando that he would send someone to the barracks to install equipment for playing movies, Du Lin smoothly moved forward with the recruitment of actors.
And because the movie was so attractive, many soldiers who were interested in acting rushed to Dulin for auditions.
Under such circumstances, Du Lin had no intention of wasting time and started auditioning for the actors for "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" the next day.
