"Well, maybe this is the best way."
"Hmm? Dad, what are you talking about?"
Princess Amy looked confused at King Hubbard's words.
His Majesty the King smiled and touched her head, then said slowly:
"Nothing, I just suddenly felt that compared to pure force, perhaps movies would be the best way to end the war."
Chapter 417: The organization has decided to let you, Du Lin, go to the Orc Kingdom as a diplomatic ambassador!
Chapter 417
"Fate Stay Night" has officially ended, which also means the end of this period of movie screenings.
Before the film's further impact broke out, Du Lin and others had returned to Edward Studios.
"Oh, there won't be any movies to shoot next, right? I can take a break now!"
Aya immediately lay down lazily on the stool and said this with a lazy look on her face.
In response to this, Zat couldn't help but take action immediately, intending to make this guy correct his attitude.
But before that, Du Lin had already spoken:
"Indeed, I have no plans to shoot any movies in the next period of time. After all, I have been shooting movies for a whole year. It is time to take a break."
Hearing Du Lin's words, Zat Helena and other members of the studio who were the first to follow Du Lin to make movies were all stunned.
Only then did they realize that a whole year had passed since they made their first movie.
In a sense, this world is really long. It can be said that the feelings they have gained from the first half of their lives combined are not as great as those brought about by this year.
Of course, people like Aya clearly have no feelings about this. They just want to take a vacation as soon as possible so that they can have a good rest like a salted fish.
On the other side, Dalia, who was also an original actor, showed a subtle expression and said:
"Well, my captain is still being held by the Duke of the Southern Territory. Now that the movie is over, I'll leave first..."
After hearing the other party's words, Du Lin recalled that the conflict between the Church of Holy Light and the Duke of the Southern Territory had been completely ignited.
Although no one knows where the source of the conflict comes from, there is no doubt that as a member of the Holy Light Church, Dalia will naturally not be able to escape.
If Dalia doesn't return to the church at this time, she might be treated as a traitor later.
Therefore, he finally acquiesced to the other party's departure.
As for the Duke of the South, Durin believed that the other party would still give him face. After all, Dahlia was just an ordinary Holy Light Knight, not the leader of a knight group like Crusch.
As for all this, he himself was actually very curious about the conflict between the Duke of the South and the Church of Holy Light.
Judging from the existence of the True Ancestor in the Duke's Mansion of the Southern Territory, the conflict between the two sides was probably not formed in the past few hundred years. If its source is traced back, it even spans thousands of years in the history of the empire.
This fight, which has lasted for who knows how long, has not yet stopped. From this, we can imagine how much impact everything that happened back then had.
In fact, Durin suspected that it was a huge event that was enough to disrupt the development of the entire empire.
Of course, Du Lin had no clues to investigate at the moment, and it would be quite impolite to ask the Duke of the South directly, so he could only put it aside for the time being.
"Director Du Lin."
Suddenly, Chase in the distance slowly spoke:
“Regarding the second movie of Fate Stay Night, are you planning to release it later?”
"Well, I haven't decided on that yet, but it should be released around September."
"Do you want me to start preparing for the shoot now?"
"Well, there's actually no rush for this. Besides, I feel a little guilty for leaving all the work to you. This time, since I don't have any other movies to prepare, I plan to personally participate in the filming of this movie."
"Is that so?"
Unexpectedly, Du Lin planned to personally participate in the filming of the "Fate Stay Night" UBW line story. After Chase was stunned for a moment, he quickly nodded.
Last time, due to the rush of filming, he even forgot to introduce several main actors in fsn to Du Lin. This time, he finally had a chance for them to meet.
After finishing the question about Chase, Durin looked at Beldia and Wiz in the distance. The two undead seemed to have completely gotten used to the life in the tavern and seemed to have no other ideas.
But Du Lin still asked:
"Beldia, Wiz, what are you two thinking about lately? Since there is no movie to shoot, why don't you just go out for a walk? Anyway, it's fine as long as you stay in the South Territory."
The Duke of the South obviously already knew these two undead. Durin believed that with such a ruler of the South looking after them, it would be fine for these two undead to go out for a stroll.
As for Durin's words, neither Beldia nor Wiz had any intention of going out.
Wiz suddenly said:
"By the way, has Juno returned to the Orc Kingdom? I've missed her since she left these past few days. Of course, it's not because the tavern's losses have been getting worse without her..."
In response to Wiz's confession, Durin smiled bitterly and slowly said:
"The Orc Kingdom? There's a civil war going on there right now. If undead like you go there, who knows what kind of chaos might happen. It's better not to get involved."
"Is that so? But Juno obviously doesn't know how she looks now. I hope she's safe..."
After hearing Wiz's words, everyone in the tavern fell silent.
After Juno left, this already messy tavern became even more chaotic. The absence of a "normal person" seemed to have affected many people.
But Durin did not have the courage to participate in the civil war in the Orc Kingdom. After all, it was a war between countries and could not be changed by individual strength.
Just when Durin was about to change the subject and reverse the gradually declining atmosphere, the door of the tavern was suddenly opened, and King Hubbard, who had not been seen for a long time, walked in with General Wilhelm and Princess Amy.
"Looks like we came at a bad time?"
In response to the King's calm attitude, Durin quickly replied:
"No, no, you came just in time."
"Haha, that's good."
Already accustomed to the atmosphere of this tavern, King Hubbard found a seat and sat down.
Seeing this, Beldia skillfully poured him a drink.
After taking the drink, King Hubbard said thank you politely.
After all, being able to get a drink personally mixed by a super-class undead is a rare and precious experience for His Majesty the King.
So, after sitting down and savoring it carefully, King Hubbard slowly spoke:
"The reason I came here this time is not just to relax, but actually I still have something to ask of you, Director Du Lin."
"Another thing? Do you want me to make a movie again?"
After a while, Du Lin said with some vigilance:
"I have been planning to take a break for more than half a month to celebrate the first anniversary of the opening. Your Majesty, please forgive me for this request..."
Before Durin could finish his words, King Hubbard interrupted him and said:
“No, no, it’s not a movie.”
"Oh? What is that?"
"I hope you can represent the Human Empire and go to the Orc Kingdom as a diplomatic ambassador for a period of time. In addition, it would be best if you could promote the movie to the Orc Kingdom."
"???"
Du Lin didn't expect His Majesty the King to say such a thing. He was stunned on the spot.
Chapter 418: Bringing movies to the Orc Kingdom!
Chapter 418
"Going to the Orc Kingdom as a diplomatic ambassador?"
Durin was surprised to find that King Hubbard would say such words.
In contrast, King Hubbard himself smiled and said:
"You look surprised?"
"Of course, after all, I am still aware of some things happening at the national level."
"I see."
"So, Your Majesty, are you really planning to let me serve as a diplomatic ambassador at a time like this?"
"That's right."
"this… "
Seeing that the other party didn't seem to be joking, everyone at the scene showed a surprised expression.
After all, the Orc Kingdom is in constant civil unrest right now, and going there to serve as a diplomatic ambassador at this time is tantamount to committing suicide. The Orc Kingdom will probably not have any friendly attitude towards humans at all.
What's more, the Orc Kingdom is currently divided into two factions. As a diplomatic ambassador, it is a problem as to which faction to communicate with.
As if he had seen Durin's doubts, King Hubbard paused for a moment and then slowly spoke:
"I asked you to go to the Orc Kingdom not because I wanted you to actually conduct diplomatic activities, but because I hope you can do something for the current Orc Kingdom and relieve their pressure."
"Relieve pressure? But isn't the Orc Kingdom our enemy?" (１ ０２.００ ３,７. ９.９２)
In response to Durin's confusion and the confusion of many imperial people present, Hubbard calmly explained:
"The enemy country is naturally an enemy country, but this is only the inevitable result of geographical factors. There is no absolute hatred in the war between humans and orcs. What's more, the civil war in the orc kingdom has now reached a stalemate, with the king's faction and the war faction dividing each other, and a large number of orc refugees are displaced every day."
"Once the order of the Orc Kingdom completely collapses, the refugees from the Orc Kingdom will flood into our human empire. At that time, unless a high wall is built on the border of the empire, it will be possible to keep all the refugees out. If this cannot be done, how much impact will a group of extremely hungry orcs have on the people living on the border? Given the difference in physical fitness between ordinary orcs and ordinary humans, I think you can imagine the scene at that time just by imagining it."
"this… "
After hearing King Hubbard's words, everyone present suddenly showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.
Almost no one present had sufficient understanding of a country's politics, so even super-class undead such as Beldia and Leticia were shocked by King Hubbard's remarks.
After learning about the King's concerns, Du Lin couldn't help but ask:
"Then why are you looking for me? There should be enough people in the Empire who can take on the role of a diplomatic ambassador. If that doesn't work, there are still the great sages of the Mage Tower..."
King Hubbard couldn't help but laugh at Durin's intention to drag the great sages into this water:
"They can't. Ordinary humans don't have enough strength to protect themselves, and the magicians who have enough strength are not the inventors of movies like you."
"What's the meaning?"
"In short, I have high hopes for you, Baron Durin. I think you may have a way to end the current chaos in the Orc Kingdom."
"Me? To end the civil strife?"
Durin did not expect that His Majesty the King had such high expectations of him. He was stunned. After all, he thought that he was just an ordinary magician and had no ability to shake the internal affairs of a country.
King Hubbard was not in a hurry. When Durin hesitated, he slowly said:
"I've heard from Dean Hohenheim about your ideal, Baron Durin. It is indeed a great ideal, but I think that such a beautiful world should not be limited to us humans. There are too many races and civilizations in this world. Some of them are strong, and some are weak. But I think that no matter what kind of civilization they are, they must have emotions, and with emotions, they can naturally appreciate stories."
"If Baron Durin's wish can come true, I think it must be a future like this, where humans, orcs, dwarves, elves, dragons... and even many more races can all sit together and enjoy a story and look forward to a story."
“A good story can touch people’s hearts, stir people’s emotions, and even become a spark that ignites a raging fire. Perhaps, sometimes, all it takes is a gentle push, and the world will undergo incredible and astonishing changes, earth-shaking changes.”
"… "
King Hubbard's words were very calm, but the calmer they were, the more power they contained, which made even Durin unable to help but move.
Yes, the world is so huge, there are so many countries and so many races living there.
Nowadays, movies have conquered almost the entire empire, allowing everyone to feel the joy brought by stories.
If we stop now and give up on letting the film develop towards a wider and bigger world, how can Du Lin realize the wish he had set from the beginning
In order to create a world where everyone can experience happiness and entertainment, Du Lin knows that he cannot stop.
Therefore, after thinking for a moment, Du Lin slowly said:
"I understand, but as a diplomatic ambassador, what about my safety?"
"Don't worry, if you need it, I can lend you the entire Imperial Knights."
"Ah, this..."
I didn't expect that His Majesty the King would be so generous and give away the entire Imperial Knights. Du Lin was stunned on the spot.
