"I don't fully understand this, but at least a large part of the rebels, led by the general, are well aware of the harm that war brings. Even so, they still choose to use war to try to solve the internal problems of the Orc Kingdom. This shows that the people of the Orc Kingdom are suffering more than war."
“Is this really a greater pain than the pain of war? I have never experienced war, so how can I know that the pain I am experiencing now is heavier than the pain caused by war?”
"this… "
Hearing Juno's words, Satiya was stunned for a moment.
After all, she was just an assassin of the Black Blade. She didn't know much about things at the political and national levels, and she had never experienced a real war.
Therefore, Satiya was completely unable to answer Juno's question at the moment and could only stand there in a daze.
On the other side, Juno couldn't help but mutter:
"There must be something wrong. Otherwise, how can people think that there is something more painful than the pain brought by war? They have not experienced real pain, but they conclude that life now is more difficult. This is completely an escapist idea. People just want a seemingly beautiful future to escape the suffering of the present."
"this… "
Unexpectedly, Juno, who always acted dull and had no opinion, would say such words. Satiya was speechless for a moment.
After all, this doubt has always existed in her heart.
She simply couldn't understand what went wrong in the country that led to such an incomprehensible chaotic will.
Although the people of this country have always lived a very hard life, all the orcs have endured this hardship with strength.
No matter how difficult it was, all the orcs worked together and tried their best to survive.
But suddenly one day, everything changed, and everyone in the country was completely trapped in a quagmire.
Suddenly, there was only one voice left in people's minds.
war.
Only war can solve everything, only war can change everything, and only war can bring happiness to all orcs.
Faced with this will, a large number of people surrendered and acknowledged this will, but there are still many orcs who are determined not to accept this result.
After all, although many people of this era have not experienced it personally, the history of the Orc Kingdom is already filled with the pain brought by war.
“Why did it become like this?”
For a moment, Satya was confused.
After all, with her knowledge, she was simply unable to see the truth hidden behind this torrent.
Of course, Satiya believed that there might be someone in this country who had completely seen through everything and understood the truth.
However, she also knew that the torrent that had already formed could not be stopped, and this chaos that distorted everything was destined to sweep across the country.
Chapter 437 "No Game No Life Zero"!
Chapter 437
The first night of movie relaxation finally ended. Although "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World" was a short story, it still brought happiness to all orcs and dispelled the depressed emotions caused by civil unrest.
Even when the movie in the big square was removed, the orcs continued to discuss and were excited about the wonderful story they had just seen.
On the other side, after packing up his things, Du Lin did not return to the embassy, but took the initiative to come to one end of the square, where he met the familiar Beast King and the somewhat surprised Orc Prophet.
"Are you satisfied with the movie tonight?"
In response to Durin's speech, the Beast King was silent for a moment, then smiled and said:
“Satisfied yet dissatisfied.”
"Oh? What does that mean?"
"This story is indeed very interesting and vivid, and it does satisfy me just in terms of its fun factor, but you should know that this is not the kind of movie I want."
"… "
Hearing the words of the Beast King, Du Lin smiled calmly:
"If that's the case, then I think none of the movies I've made so far can satisfy you."
"so?"
"So please give me some time. I will soon submit a script that will satisfy you. I also believe that it will be what the Orc Kingdom needs today."
"That's great..."
After getting Durin's assurance, the Beast King nodded and left the scene without looking back.
In this regard, although the orc prophet on the side vaguely understood the meaning of the conversation between the two people, he was still surprised at the trust and expectations that the Beast King had in Durin.
After all, Durin is still a human being.
The Beast King now places all the hopes of the kingdom on a human being. It is hard not to wonder if she has gone insane due to excessive pressure.
But the orc prophet also knew very well that the Beast King of this generation was definitely a wise man with a clear mind and flexible skills, and that he must look at problems more comprehensively than himself.
Therefore, he finally gave up speaking, acquiesced to the Beast King's choice, turned around and followed him away from the scene.
…
After returning to the embassy, Du Lin suddenly found that it had become very lively here. A large number of orcs were gathered here, leaning against the windows and looking inside enthusiastically.
Faced with this scene, Du Lin initially thought that these orcs had not yet recovered from the excitement of the movie, and now wanted to watch another movie from him.
However, he soon discovered that these orcs completely ignored him, the filmmaker, and instead focused their attention on the strange-looking Zataya.
"Could this be..."
Soon, Du Lin verified his guess.
The gathering of the orcs had nothing to do with him. It was purely because he saw the two actors appear in front of him again after watching "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World".
Due to the influence of the movie just now, the orcs were now quite enthusiastic about Zat and Aya, and each of them seemed to really regard them as characters in the movie.
Du Lin smiled and didn't care about this scene. After all, the embassy had been cast under a magic circle by him, and even the most powerful orcs couldn't break in easily.
When he entered the embassy, Du Lin suddenly found that the expression of the young Wade was a little strange. After watching the movie, the other party suddenly had some ideas and looked at him from time to time.
"What can I do for you?"
Without hesitation, Du Lin spoke decisively.
In response, Wade realized that his thoughts were seen through, and after hesitating for a moment, he spoke:
“Are you the one who made the movie?”
"Yes, I am the inventor of film, Durin Edward."
"That is, you can make movies."
"certainly."
After receiving Du Lin's confirmation, Wade remained silent again. After a while, he spoke loudly:
"Your films seem to make the people who work on them very popular..."
"Oh? What do you mean?"
"No, it's not me..."
Seeing that Du Lin misunderstood his meaning, Wade quickly said:
"She is a friend of mine, she is an orc, but because of her race and appearance, she has always been discriminated against by other orcs. I wanted to help her before, but I can't change other people's minds..."
"I see."
Knowing what Wade meant, Du Lin smiled and said:
"I understand. If you want your friend to be popular, I can help you, but this also requires that your friend really meets my requirements."
"I'll bring her."
"Well, bring her to me then."
After making a brief agreement with Wade, Du Lin quickly ignored everything else and returned to his room as soon as possible.
As the memories slowly emerged in his mind, he began to recall all the anime stories he had watched, intending to find a script that could fully meet the Beast King's requirements.
Although the Beast King had never actively stated his requests, through observation over the past few days, he had already understood the other party's intentions.
The movie that the other party wants is undoubtedly about that theme - war!
As long as it is related to war, no matter what the subject matter, world view, or type of story is, as long as it can reveal the essence of war and show the cruelty of war as much as possible, it will be fine.
All the other party needs is a story like this.
Because this is exactly the story that the Orc Kingdom needs most today, a story that can make the Orc people and even the Orc army, who have become increasingly confused, wake up again and realize the cruelty and irrationality of war.
In Durin's mind, although there are many stories about war, even too many, if he wants to portray the destructiveness of war as much as possible and highlight the pain brought by war, he can only think of one.
Therefore, after confirming that the film could be shot with his current level and ensuring that the shooting period was sufficient, he immediately began writing the script.
…
And so, time came to the next day.
As usual, Durin came to the Orc Palace under the protection of Leticia, and saw the Beast King sitting on the throne in the hall as before.
"Has the script been written?"
In response to the Beast King's slightly expectant look, Du Lin just smiled and handed the script over.
"No Game No Life Zero?!"
When the Beast King looked confused about the name written on the script, Durin said calmly:
"That's right, this is the movie I brought to you, and I believe it will meet your expectations."
"… "
Hearing Durin's words, the Beast King immediately showed a surprised expression, and involuntarily opened the script and started reading it!
Chapter 438: Beast King’s feelings about “No Game No Life Zero”!
Chapter 438
Du Lin had watched the animated theatrical version of "No Game No Life Zero" many times before traveling through time, and he could say that he was familiar with the plot.
Although it is only a spin-off of the original "No Game No Life" and it happened six thousand years before the original, its excellent plot can be said to be listed separately, and it is also very touching and profound.
More importantly, the plot of "No Game No Life Zero" is closely linked to the theme of war throughout. All the tragedies encountered by the protagonist come from war, and the despair experienced by all races in the world also comes from war.
This film fully reveals the insignificance of each individual in a war environment, as well as the tragic consequences that will be caused when the destructive power of war develops to the extreme.
It can be said that the tragic ending of the whole story is reasonable.
It fully depicts the tragic consequences that will result from extreme wars among major races.
Therefore, when his mind began to think about anime related to war, Du Lin immediately recalled this anime in his mind and connected it with the current situation of the Orc Kingdom.
In fact, this is indeed a very qualified choice.
On the other side, facing the script handed over by Du Lin, the Beast King couldn't help but open the script and read it.
Soon, after she read the script over and over again for a long time with a frown on her face, the supreme ruler of the Orc Kingdom could not help but let out a sigh and said with emotion:
"You are worthy of being the most talented magician in the world, Lord Durin. Your ability to write stories is indeed extraordinary. Your wild imagination coupled with your touching words and sentences made me completely immersed in this story."
The Beast King's words fully expressed her feelings. It can be said that she has completely accepted the story given to her by Du Lin called "No Game No Life Zero".
Although she couldn't help but have a little doubt at the beginning, wondering whether Du Lin could really show what she expected, but when she finished reading the story, she suddenly realized that the story written by Du Lin was exactly what she wanted.
In a world where gods exist and gods of different races are hostile to each other, eleven races fight against each other. The war brings endless destruction, destroys planets, kills lives, etc.
Faced with this desperate situation, in order to survive, weak humans have to give up their own existence and make constant sacrifices in exchange for a glimmer of hope of survival.
However, this hope can be shattered at any time and eventually lead to destruction.
Apart from anything else, the story background alone is already in line with the Beast King's requirements.
At the same time, in addition to the strong sense of despair and the cruelty of war, the story of "No Game No Life Zero" also contains a glimmer of hope.
Love between man and machine, trust between man and man, great and small mortals twisted despair, victory over war, ushering in peace...
This ordinary yet extraordinary story made Beast King's heart beat fast after reading it. He couldn't help but want to see the shocking scenes that would be presented when this script was made into a movie.
She was fully confident that such a story would shock the audience after being made into a movie.
Seeing the shocked look on the Beast King's face, Du Lin immediately showed a relieved smile on his face.
