It was several days after the civil strife in the Orc Kingdom ended that the news finally reached the Human Empire.
"Have you heard? The civil war in the Orc Kingdom has come to an end. The war-fighting Orc general chose to surrender and was imprisoned in the Orc prison."
"Is this true? Didn't we hear a few days ago that the war faction had captured half of the city and could capture the orc capital at any time?"
"Maybe the orcs have some trump cards or something else. You know, I heard that the orc god of the kingdom of orcs showed up in person."
"Have gods appeared in this world again?"
"But our human gods haven't appeared for a long time."
"The era of the gods has long passed. In any case, it is a good thing that the war faction has admitted defeat. At least the orcs will not fight with us again."
"These orcs are really annoying, warlike and fierce. It is really unfortunate to be a neighboring country with such a country."
"Don't say that. The orcs also have their own difficulties. After all, no race is born to be warlike."
"Even so, the orcs are not good people. They are born for war. We must always be vigilant against these dangerous guys!"
"That's right, the war that happened a hundred years ago must never be forgotten!"
"… "
The humans were talking in this way, and from their general remarks, one could get a glimpse of the hostility humans had towards the orcs.
After all, the Orc Kingdom and the Human Empire are separated by a huge mountain range, and there has always been little communication between the two sides, so naturally they are not clear about each other’s situations.
In the absence of empathy, humans naturally have a natural hostility towards other races on the other side of the mountain.
In the human empire, the gap between humans and orcs has become so great that it is completely difficult for them to integrate with each other. There is even a phenomenon of collective rejection of orcs in the human empire.
Therefore, facing the chaos encountered by the orcs, most humans did not have any feelings. The most they thought was that the Beast God, who had shocked the orcs' faith, had come to the world again.
…
Orc Kingdom.
Knowing the human empire's attitude towards orcs, Du Lin naturally made preparations quickly.
After he roughly explained the situation to the Beast King, he immediately led his men back to the South Territory to shoot a new movie.
When he returned to the embassy, he saw Wade and Cole hiding in the room, not daring to step out.
When the two saw him coming, they immediately began to complain.
In this regard, Du Lin soon learned about the troubles the two were facing.
It turns out that ever since "No Game No Life - Zero" was broadcast throughout the Orc Kingdom, the orcs have completely fallen in love with the two of them. Even though they know it is a fake movie and they are just actors, they are still extremely enthusiastic.
Wade and Cole felt all this was quite new at first, and Wade was genuinely happy for Cole. But after a few days, after being constantly harassed by the orcs, the two became completely helpless and didn't want to go out and be surrounded by orcs anymore.
Faced with this situation, Du Lin immediately smiled and said:
"It seems that you can't stay in the Orc Kingdom anymore. Why don't you come to my place? Although it's a shabby place and not prosperous at all, no one will come to harass you."
"Oh, really?"
After hearing Du Lin's words, Wade and Cole looked at each other and finally showed expectant expressions.
In response, Du Lin just nodded and said:
"Don't worry, that's the tavern I own. The members there are... well, a bunch of undecent people. They all have a lot of problems, but at least no one will care about your abnormality."
"this… "
After hearing what Du Lin said, Wade and Cole thought for a moment and finally agreed.
It was obvious that they had been driven crazy by the superstar life they had lived in the past few days.
So, Du Lin immediately called everyone together, said goodbye to everyone in the embassy, and decided to return to the Human Empire.
Soon, everyone arrived, including Zataya and Leticia, who rushed over after hearing the news.
At the same time, a member who surprised Du Lin appeared at the scene, Juno, a member of the Black Blade team.
"Hey, little guy, you're finally going back. Wiz and the others were really worried about you."
In response to Du Lin's sarcasm, Juno was stunned for a moment, and spoke after a while:
"I do want to go back, I'm really sorry for leaving without saying goodbye..."
"It's okay, no one will care about this."
Rubbing the little girl's head, Du Lin ignored Juno's awkward look and turned to look at the teleportation array that had been set up.
"The journey to the Orc Kingdom is finally over. Let's go home now!"
In an instant, a blazing light lit up, and Du Lin and others officially left this country that was in ruins.
…
Southland, Northrick.
Du Lin returned to the familiar Edward Tavern, and before he had time to rest, he was surrounded by a group of tavern members who did not expect them to come back so soon.
"Wow, it's Juno, you're finally back!!!"
Wiz called out in surprise, and that enthusiastic look made the little orc girl feel embarrassed, and she blamed herself even more for leaving without saying goodbye.
In response, Du Lin showed a subtle expression.
After all, he knew very well that the reason why Wiz was so excited was not anything else, but simply because he saw the hope of stopping the tavern's losses.
On the other hand, Helena immediately asked Durin about the situation in the Orc Kingdom. She did not go there during the last movie shooting, so she was unable to see the scenery of the Orc Kingdom.
At the same time, Chase also hurried over to talk to Du Lin about when the UBW line of "Fate Stay Night" would start filming.
Even Viscount Banier squeezed over and expressed his desire to discuss how the film company could continue to expand and increase its scale of operations.
Faced with the many tasks that came one after another as soon as he returned, Du Lin immediately returned to his original state after dealing with them one by one.
Moreover, after discussing the approximate start time of the "Fate Stay Night" UBW line with Kiritsugu, he immediately left the tavern and came to a more remote corner of Northrick Street.
Arriving at a shop, Du Lin walked in calmly, but bumped into a girl who was only slightly shorter than him.
He was about to say sorry when he discovered that the girl in front of him was actually an orc, and the more he looked at her, the more familiar she seemed.
While Du Lin was surprised, Lawrence's figure slowly appeared at the end of the store.
"You are... Lord Du Lin?! Long time no see!"
In response to Lawrence's surprise, Durin nodded calmly. He was about to talk to him, but he noticed the orc girl next to him who was looking at him curiously and joyfully.
"Who is this?"
Hearing Du Lin's question, Lawrence nodded and replied:
"Ah, Lord Du Lin, have you forgotten? She is the child I adopted. Didn't she watch a movie with you before?"
"It's her? Wait!!"
All of a sudden, Du Lin compared his height. Although Du Lin's own height was below the average height and much lower than the average, it was not too low.
A year ago, Lawrence's adopted daughter was only as tall as his waist. How come she has almost caught up with him in just one year
As if seeing Du Lin's confusion, Lawrence said helplessly:
"The development of orcs seems to be different from that of humans. Before they reach adulthood, they remain in the form of juveniles, but once they reach adulthood, they will directly develop into an appearance similar to that of adults."
"I see… "
Nodding, Du Lin looked at the orc girl who already had the characteristics of an orc, with wolf ears and tail, then turned to Lawrence and smiled:
"It seems like you have the feeling. How about bringing your adopted daughter to make a movie with me? This will be a groundbreaking performance!"
Chapter 470: The script for "Spice and Wolf" is completed!
Chapter 470
"Movies?"
Lawrence, the owner of the Monster Shop, was surprised that Du Lin would invite him to make a movie, while his adopted daughter beside him showed an expectant look, obviously very interested in the so-called performance.
So, Du Lin quickly explained to Lawrence the movie he was going to make, "Spice and Wolf", and told him that he was going to make this movie in order to save the current orc kingdom and rebuild the business relationship between orcs and humans.
After listening to Du Lin's story, Lawrence fell into deep thought, and after a while he answered:
"I see. Is the Orc Kingdom in such a crisis now? Although this matter has nothing to do with me, if it can help the people of the Empire reduce their hatred of the Orcs, it will definitely be a good thing for this child..."
"Do you agree to this?"
"If she has no objection, then I have no other ideas."
Hearing Lawrence's words, Du Lin immediately turned his head and looked at the orc girl not far away.
The other party nodded vigorously without hesitation. It was obvious that he had been interested in making movies for a long time, and now he finally had the opportunity to participate in it.
So Du Lin smiled and said:
"In that case, come to my tavern tomorrow and I will explain the detailed filming process to you then."
"good."
Soon, Du Lin left the Monster Shop and returned to Edward Tavern.
In the tavern, everyone was surrounding Zataya and Leticia, seemingly asking them questions about the Orc Kingdom. They were obviously very curious about the situation in the Orc Kingdom.
In response, Zat roughly explained their situation in the Orc Kingdom and also mentioned the god that they saw last, who was possessed by the Beast King.
No one expected a god to appear. Everyone present was shocked. Even a super-class undead like Berthia looked nervous, obviously knowing how terrifying the god was.
So they hurriedly asked Leticia, hoping to learn the general situation of the gods from this super-class lich.
However, Leticia kept silent about it, as if she knew the taboos involved and refused to communicate any more.
In this situation, everyone had no choice but to give up and look back at the chaos within the Orc Kingdom.
After seeing this scene, Du Lin focused his attention on Aya, who was habitually ignored by everyone. The situation was very chaotic at the time, so Du Lin was almost the only one who noticed Aya's condition.
It can be said that the girl's temperament changed drastically at that time. If Du Lin had not seen it with his own eyes, he would not have believed that it was Aya who had always acted silly.
Later, Du Lin also asked Aya about her condition in person, but she herself seemed to have forgotten the situation at that time. She only remembered that when she was watching the plot of "No Game No Life Zero", she was affected by the war of gods in the plot and fell into confusion. When she reacted, the movie had even ended.
For this reason, Du Lin roughly guessed that Aya must be related to the ancient gods of this world, but he did not dare to make a conclusion about what kind of relationship it was.
Therefore, in the end he had no choice but to keep this matter in his heart for the time being, and decided to do as Leticia once said, to wait until he entered a higher realm before trying to explore the truth of everything.
Of course, Du Lin was also very curious about the imaging crystal of "No Game No Life Zero" that he had previously given to the Beast God. He really didn't know what would happen to that thing after it was taken to the world of God.
But no matter what, he just hoped that the impact of all this would come a little later.
After all, with his current strength, let alone confronting a being of that level, he doesn't even have the qualifications to communicate.
Soon, Du Lin put aside the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and after returning to the tavern, he immediately went back to his room on the second floor and began to write the script for the new movie.
Although the Beast King has completely trusted him and handed over everything to him, Durin still needs to write the story and show it to His Majesty the King of the Human Empire.
After all, this story is used to build a bridge between the two countries and construct a new channel. If the king of the human empire does not allow it, nothing can be done.
Of course, Du Lin also believed that with King Hubbard's wisdom and foresight, he would definitely agree with this matter.
However, Du Lin was not completely sure whether the other party would agree with the movie "Spice and Wolf".
…
Time passed little by little, and Du Lin finally spent a few hours writing the movie script of "Spice and Wolf".
After roughly polishing the content to make it more in line with the habits of this world, he immediately set off for the Imperial Palace.
After a brief report, Durin quickly met King Hubbard and was surprised to find that His Majesty looked a little busy.
"What's going on?"
In response to Durin's question, King Hubbard, who was originally busy marking documents, finally raised his head.
After doing a few movements to relieve his fatigue, he replied:
"It's Baron Durin. I'm instructing on many matters with the Orc Kingdom. I already know what happened recently. Now is the best time to join the game. I believe the current Beast King is ready to contact us."
"What do you mean?"
"The 40-50-year-long diplomatic severance between the Human Empire and the Orc Kingdom should be over. A brand new era is coming. There is no reason for us to exclude our neighbors."
"this… "
Unexpectedly, King Hubbard has actually begun to prepare to re-establish diplomatic relations with the Orc Kingdom. Du Lin was surprised and admired his rationality.
