On the side, Nonna saw that Ilona had recovered his spirit, and she hugged him in surprise, with a long-lost smile on her face.
Soon, Du Lin completed the construction of the defensive spell and nodded with satisfaction.
Just as he wanted to continue to learn about the current situation of the Orc Kingdom from Ilo, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the embassy.
"Who?"
Du Lin looked at Yiluo, but the latter also looked confused.
After thinking it over, Du Lin went over to open the door himself.
The moment the door was opened, several orcs were standing outside. A familiar figure among them made Durin exclaim:
"Juno?"
"boss?"
Juno, who was in the queue, didn't expect to see Du Lin. She was so scared that her hair stood on end and her face was filled with fear and aggrieved look.
Unexpectedly, the relationship between Juno and Durin, the leader of the orc team, a woman with canine features, said slowly after a moment:
"Are you the newest ambassador from the Human Empire?"
"That's right."
"I am the captain of the Orc Empire's special forces, the Black Blade, Shatia. This time, I am following the orders of the Beast King to invite you, as a human ambassador, to the palace."
"The Beast King wants to see me?"
"That's right."
He didn't expect that he would have to meet the Beast King right after arriving at the embassy and before he could even sit down. Du Lin immediately showed a subtle expression.
Leticia, Zat, and Aya looked at him, obviously wondering whether they should follow him.
In response, Du Lin said:
"Letitia, come with me. Zat, you and Aya, stay here and take care of them until we come back."
"yes."
After Durin finished giving the order, he immediately took Leticia and followed the Black Blade people to the Orc Palace.
During this period, he and Juno looked at each other several times, but due to their status, they did not speak in the end.
So, when everyone arrived at a palace that was not luxurious and even a bit shabby, Du Lin was asked to enter the final banquet hall alone.
Without hesitation, he entered the banquet hall on the spot.
"You are the ambassador sent by the Human Empire, Durin Edward."
Compared to Iluo and others in the embassy, the Beast King already knew Du Lin's identity from the very beginning.
For this reason, Du Lin couldn't help but reveal a shocked expression.
After all, the king in front of him was completely different from what he expected. He thought that the Beast King would be a strong man, but he didn't expect that the real Beast King was actually a fox female with several tails.
"… "
For a moment, Du Lin was shocked by the other party's charming and enchanting appearance and didn't know how to start.
The Beast King ignored his surprise and said slowly:
"I have heard about your existence many, many times, so I have always wanted to know whether the so-called movie you invented is really that wonderful."
Chapter 421: Showing a movie in the capital of the Orc Kingdom!
Chapter 421
I didn't expect the Beast King in front of me to say such a thing. Du Lin was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses and replied:
"Your Majesty the Beast King, do you know about movies?"
"I have a subordinate who likes this kind of thing very much. He has been to your human empire and watched the movie. I also learned some things from him."
"I see."
In response to the Beast King's speech, Durin fell silent for a moment. After a long time, he slowly said:
"But the Orc Kingdom is in a state of civil unrest right now, and the enemy army is stationed in another city. Do you still have the heart to watch a movie?"
Hearing Du Lin's words, the woman smiled and said:
"What is the connection between the two? The chaos in the kingdom has already occurred and is destined to be difficult to resolve. As the king of the orcs, I actually no longer have any initiative. In addition, the general's idea may not be wrong. War may indeed be the ultimate solution to the problem."
"… "
Hearing the Beast King's self-destructive words, Durin fell silent for a moment. After a while, he finally raised his head and said firmly:
"Although I don't know the current situation of the Orc Kingdom, and I'm not sure how to get it out of its predicament, I can be sure that war is never the best way to solve problems. Because war will only bring chaos and endless hatred, the entire country will be stuck in a quagmire and unable to escape. If there are other options to get out of the predicament, war must never be used."
"You are sober..."
In response to Durin's words, the Beast King nodded slowly and said:
"I think so too. War cannot solve problems because it only covers up old problems with new ones. This approach will only accelerate the demise of the entire country. However, not everyone is as clear-headed as you."
"People who have lost their eyes due to chaos; people who have forgotten justice due to hatred; people who have given up their beliefs due to their desire for fame and fortune; people who have violated morality and hoped for chaos... Too many orcs have lost their eyes. This country has fallen into a quagmire and is forced to long for a war to change everything."
“Even though people know that war is not the best form of action, they do not know what other means are available to change the status quo. Even though they know the disasters that war will bring, they still vaguely hold on to a last glimmer of hope that war will not change their lives. Under such circumstances, who really desires war, and who really does not desire war?”
"… "
Durin fell silent for a moment after hearing the Beast King's words, which were spoken in one breath, with profound thoughts and every word was brilliant.
He originally thought that there must be a large number of people in the Orc Kingdom who were eager for war, and the warlike nature of the Orc Kingdom itself caused the chaos.
But now it seems that everything is not the case. There are many people within the Orc Kingdom who have seen the dangers of war, but based on some greater will, they are falling uncontrollably into the spiral of war.
In such an environment, even the most sober people have to pretend to be in chaos, and instead a group of unclear-minded fanatics stand at the pinnacle of power.
This is a tragedy for the entire kingdom and also an inevitability of an era.
"I see… "
All of a sudden, Du Lin showed an expression of understanding. He had gradually understood the significance of King Hubbard sending him here.
Therefore, he slowly smiled and said:
"Then first of all, I, Du Lin, a magician from the Human Empire and the head of Edward Studios, will present a performance called a movie to Your Majesty the Beast King!"
As he said this, Du Lin was about to prepare to shoot the movie, but the Beast King slowly stopped him and said:
"Don't worry about the movie. After all, I'm not the only one who wants to watch a movie. There are many people in this palace and even in this city who are interested in this entertainment that is popular in the human empire."
"You want me to show the movie to more people?"
"certainly."
"… "
Realizing what the Beast King meant, Du Lin nodded and put down his hand that was about to take the imaging crystal.
Afterwards, he discussed with the Beast King the procedures for showing the movie, and after finalizing the final time and location, which was to be tonight, to show the movie in the Grand Square in the Orc King's capital, Brace, he turned and left the palace.
When he came outside, Durin found that the Black Blade team that Juno was in had disappeared at some point, leaving only Leticia standing outside.
The other party seemed to be appreciating the scenery of the palace, and his eyes occasionally revealed a feeling of nostalgia.
…
Returning to the Imperial Embassy, Du Lin found that the embassy, which had been quite quiet, was now in a state of chaos.
Zat and Aya, who were supposed to be here to look after Roy and the others, were now being chased by a white-haired boy holding a long sword. The heated and anxious look on both sides was like the beginning of an epic battlefield.
"Ah, this..."
Not understanding why things had changed so much after just going out, Du Lin looked confused, while Zat in the distance had already asked him for help.
"Dulin, Dulin! Come and help! This guy won't listen to us and thinks we are orcs in disguise!"
At the same time, Aya was caught by the white-haired boy. She looked so panicked that she was about to cry.
“No! No!!”
Facing Aya who screamed like a lamb to be slaughtered, the white-haired boy immediately said indifferently:
"You don't have any human smell. Tell me, who sent you here?"
"No, I am really a human..."
Seeing that Aya was really about to cry, Zat at the side finally couldn't bear it anymore, and took out the smoke bomb he had used during the filming from his pocket, and took advantage of the boy's confusion to successfully rescue him.
At this moment, Du Lin finally stopped watching the show, stepped between the two parties, and asked:
"Who are you?"
“…!!!”
When the young man saw Durin appear, he immediately showed an extremely nervous expression, as if he had seen through the strength of the great magician Durin at a glance.
What frightened him even more was Leticia who was following Durin. Just seeing her made him so nervous that he became completely rigid and cold sweat broke out on his body, as if he had seen a wild beast.
Seeing this, Du Lin had no choice but to say:
"Ahem, it looks like we have some misunderstandings. Um, can anyone explain the current situation?"
All of a sudden, while Du Lin was speaking, Yi Luo, who was far away, finally limped over and said:
"I'm sorry, Wade is a new helper here. Although he is very strong and intuitive, he has some personality issues. I couldn't stop him just now. I'm really sorry..."
After hearing what Yiluo said, Du Lin finally understood the situation on the scene.
Finally, after taking a look at the young man named Wade who was still frightened and had not yet recovered from his shock, he smiled slowly and said:
"I see. Anyway, let's not talk about these bad things for now. I plan to show a movie in the big square of the capital tonight. You all can come and watch it."
Chapter 422: The first movie of the night is "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World"!
Chapter 422
Du Lin's words made everyone present look confused.
After all, showing a movie in the capital of the Orc Kingdom, not to mention that Ilo and others didn't know what the movie was, the civil strife in the Orc Kingdom has not ended yet, so how could they have the mind to do such a thing
However, Du Lin was obviously not joking, he really said this conclusion.
"Um, Du Lin, is it necessary to be so anxious to show the movie here?"
Zat thought this was Du Lin's own idea, and immediately showed a confused expression. He obviously didn't understand why the other party was so anxious to promote the movie.
Ilo and the others had no idea what movies were. Being in the Orc Kingdom, they had no idea about this entertainment that had now become popular throughout the entire human empire.
In this case, Du Lin did not explain, but touched Nonna's head and smiled:
"This is the request from the orc king. He hopes that I can show the movie in this capital. It has been confirmed that it will be shown in the square of the capital tonight. You all can come and watch it. I will definitely not let you down."
"this… "
After some hesitation, Yiluo and the others finally nodded.
After knowing that Durin might be a powerful spellcaster, they have recognized his status and are naturally willing to obey his orders.
Although Wade was unable to move due to fear, he obviously still couldn't accept that there were several dangerous people staying in the embassy.
But it was clear from his expression that resistance would not lead to any good results.
Therefore, everyone quickly established a schedule for the evening's activities and began to prepare for the movie screening in advance.
…
The Orc Kingdom, the capital of Bryce.
Due to the rebellion some time ago, the city is now like a frightened bird. Although the orc residents in the city seem to be living a peaceful life, they have been keeping an eye on every move inside the city.
Under such circumstances, the film arrangement organized by Dulin in the big square naturally attracted the attention of all orcs.
At first, the orcs couldn't understand what these humans were doing and wanted to ask the kingdom's army to drive them away.
However, when the kingdom's army heard such remarks, not only did they not take any action, but they directly sent people to maintain order in the square to prevent orcs from affecting the preparations of Durin and others.
Regarding this fact, even the dumbest orcs would immediately understand that all this must have been allowed by the Beast King, so they naturally dared not interfere. Instead, they spread the news from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred.
All of a sudden, all the orcs in the royal capital began to pay attention to the strange activities in the big square. They all ran over from all corners of the town to watch the actions of Durin and others.
