In order to achieve this goal, one can even vaguely see great magicians serving as guards in the crowd. If it weren't for the purpose of not scaring the orcs, I'm afraid even a few great sages would come out to help hold the fort.
As the hosts, King Hubbard and General Wilhelm naturally arrived at the site of the bilateral conference a day in advance.
"It's been a long time since I came here. The last time I came, I hadn't become the king yet, and you hadn't become the general of this country yet."
General Wilhelm couldn't help but express a trace of emotion at King Hubbard's words.
The two of them have been friends since their youth, and have supported each other since they first met, and their relationship continues to this day.
The two first met each other because of a street fight on the streets of the imperial capital. Later, when they joined the army to fight against the Orc Kingdom, they were assigned to the same regiment and fought together on the battlefield.
Later, during the king's election, all the heirs started fighting on various levels. In the end, Wilhelm helped Hubbard ascend the throne, and he himself became the general of the empire.
It can be said that although every moment in between is unforgettable for him, the most profound one is the time he spent with his comrades during the fight against the Orc Kingdom.
After all, friendship on the battlefield is always pure and simple.
At this moment, seeing the familiar fortress and the upcoming Orc Kingdom, General Wilhelm couldn't help but curl up a smile and said:
"I never thought that there would be a day when we would take the initiative to establish good relations with those orcs."
"Yes, this is how it is sometimes between countries. Although we want to fight to the death on the battlefield, once we sit at this small table, we become harmonious and friendly."
"Even if it's just false kindness?"
"If something is false, it will become true if it keeps pretending."
"Perhaps..."
The two experienced old men did not discuss this topic too much.
After all, the many things they have experienced have made them see through many things in the world, so they will not have emotional fluctuations over such a small matter.
At this moment, they just quietly looked at the fortress which was completely new compared to the past, recalled the past battlefield years, and patiently waited for the former enemies to come here again.
At this point, the two sides are no longer enemies, but are sitting on two sides of the negotiating table in a form that desires friendship.
It really makes people sigh at the wonder of the world.
…
Compared with politicians who focus on national affairs, most ordinary people do not care about the so-called bilateral conference between the two countries.
For most people, the most important thing these days is undoubtedly the release of new movies.
After all, compared to the last time "No Game No Life Zero" only released one movie, this time two new movies were released at once.
"Spice and Wolf" and "Fate Stay Night—Unlimited Blade Works" are two films that have attracted everyone's attention.
“Ohhhhhhhh!!!! Finally there’s a new movie to watch!!!”
“Is there going to be a new game in the Fate series? That’s so cool!!”
“The previous works “Fate Zero” and “Fate Stay Night” were both very exciting, and I hope this new work will also be exciting enough.”
"I mainly want to know when this UBW tells the story. Is it the sequel to Fate Stay Night? If so, will Saber appear?"
"I don't think so. In the previous trailer, only Red A and Emiya Shirou appeared. I don't think they will have much to do with Saber."
"How is that possible? If there is no Saber in the Fate series, can it still be called Fate?!"
"Your point of view..."
"You guys are really enough. Compared to "Fate Stay Night", I am still more looking forward to the new movie. Although I don't know what the story of "Spice and Wolf" is, I am still more looking forward to it!"
"From the name... maybe it's a warm and everyday movie?"
"Warm and daily life? But Director Du Lin has hardly made warm and daily life films in the past. I think this may be a story about fantasy adventure."
"Oh? Director Du Lin is going to reboot the movie with adventurers as the protagonists? I'm so looking forward to it!"
"Ahh, I really wish the movie would come out today!"
"… "
All of a sudden, many viewers expressed all kinds of expectations, and the anticipation for the new movie has reached a level that can be seen with the naked eye.
…
At the same time, at Edward Tavern.
After Du Lin finished preparing the imaging crystal, he immediately asked someone to copy it and spread it to major towns in the empire.
In addition, Durin also specially prepared a part of imaging crystal and gave it to Juno, asking the former member of the Black Blade to take it to the Orc Kingdom.
After doing all this, Du Lin wrapped the two carefully prepared imaging crystals in a box and sealed them with a magic circle. Then he took it with him, ready to bring it to the bilateral conference between the two countries in person.
Yes, as the inventor of movies and the solver of the war crisis in the Orc Kingdom, there was no reason for him to be absent from this conference.
Before Du Lin set off, he suddenly received a message from Helena.
The messenger of the message was Scar, who was currently studying at the Imperial Academy of Magic. It seemed that the other party had something to talk to him about when he was in the Orc Kingdom, but he never had the chance to tell him.
And after Du Lin came back, he immediately started filming a new movie, so the news was delayed for more than two months and was only delivered now.
"Ska said someone wanted to see me? Who?"
"I don't know, but he said it's not urgent and you can go there after you finish all your things, so I didn't rush to tell you."
"this… "
Unable to understand what Scar meant, Du Lin thought about it for a while and finally put everything behind him.
After all, the most important thing at the moment is to send the imaging crystal to Ludasasburg.
This is an important meeting concerning the peaceful development of the two countries, and he cannot delay it at all.
Chapter 474: Spice and Wolf is released! (I)
Chapter 474
Road to Salzburg, west.
After a long wait of the Human Empire, a team of orcs slowly came from a distance.
Generally speaking, a team of orcs is often strictly composed of various races and has an integrated offensive and defensive combat system, which can maximize the safety of the team's progress.
However, this team obviously does not have so many requirements. After all, almost every member of it is an elite and high-level member of the Orc Kingdom, and is strong enough to deal with any situation.
Of course, even so, when they took the initiative to go to the human empire, the pressure they felt was still unprecedentedly huge.
After all, after nearly a thousand years of development, the Human Empire's strength has far surpassed that of the Orc Kingdom. This is only overall. In terms of cutting-edge combat power, the gap between the two sides is even greater.
But even so, the Beast King still came in person on behalf of the Orc Kingdom. One can imagine what kind of mentality she had.
At the same time, beside the Beast King, the Orc Prophet followed closely behind the Beast King with an expression that was hard to describe.
The orc prophet originally did not want to come to the human empire on his own initiative. He believed that there was no need for him to come here at all, and there was no point in following.
Moreover, he had coincidentally met the king and generals of the human empire when he sneaked in previously. If he was recognized this time, the situation would probably become very embarrassing.
However, the Beast King was very tough on this and insisted on getting the Orc Prophet to come along.
In this regard, knowing that the Beast King wanted to show the Orc Kingdom's respect for the meeting as much as possible, the Orc Prophet had no choice but to grit his teeth and come to the scene.
…
Road to Salzburg.
The Orc Kingdom's troops passed through the city gate and officially entered the city of the Human Empire.
For a moment, all the orcs in the team showed extreme nervousness.
After all, if humans attacked them at this time, they would not have any ability to resist at all.
But in the end, even though they had entered the place in the center of the city that had been arranged as a venue, there was still no attack. Only the vigilant and cautious gazes of many city residents came from time to time.
At this moment, the orcs in the delegation finally felt relieved. After all, if humans wanted to attack them, they would have had countless opportunities to do so.
Nothing is happening right now, which means the other party is indeed sincere.
Upon entering the venue, what caught our eyes were the many humans serving as staff members. They were the first to greet the many orcs and lead them to a resting place.
During the meeting, a staff member told them that the official meeting time was 10 o'clock the next morning and they could move freely before then.
The orcs were surprised and a little ashamed that humans had prepared so well for this meeting.
After all, they were just wondering whether the other party would take the opportunity to attack them. Now it seems that they were just judging others by their own standards.
While the ordinary orcs went to rest, the Beast King brought the Orc Prophet to a reception room, where they finally met King Hubbard and General Wilhelm who had been waiting for a long time.
Obviously, tomorrow's meeting is purely for everyone to see, and the real things to be discussed have already started privately on the first day of arriving here.
"Hello, Your Excellency the Beast King, and the person next to you..."
King Hubbard was smiling and calm when he saw the Beast King, but he was slightly stunned when he saw the Orc Prophet.
Obviously, even though he had some more orc characteristics, he still recognized that the other person was the movie lover he had met several times in Northrick.
On the other side, the orc prophet quickly replied:
"Hello, Your Majesty, I am the current prophet of the Orc Kingdom, Ohari."
"I see, I see..."
After hearing each other's words, King Hubbard and General Wilhelm looked at each other and showed a hint of surprise. It was obvious that they did not expect that the old man at that time would be the prophet of the Orc Kingdom.
But in the end, they all accepted this reality.
On the other hand, the Beast King, as the only one who didn't know the situation, was a little confused at first, but under the guidance of King Hubbard, he quickly got to the point.
"I have been paying close attention to the situation in the Orc Kingdom, so I know exactly what you need. Conversely, the Human Empire also needs many resources within your Orc Kingdom. I believe this will be a deal that both parties will be satisfied with."
The Beast King nodded slightly at King Hubbard's words. She naturally knew about these things a long time ago.
Therefore, the two sides briefly exchanged views on specific trade matters and then quickly skipped over the topic. After all, these things are more suitable to be discussed at the negotiation table rather than in private, as more important things should be discussed in private.
After talking about the future development of the two countries, King Hubbard suddenly changed the subject and said:
"About Baron Durin, you must have met him? What do you think of him and his movies?"
The Beast King was slightly stunned by the topic King Hubbard suddenly raised, and then he replied:
"He is a very imaginative person. His personality, like his stories, makes people smile unconsciously. I am very glad that such an outstanding person as him can appear in the human empire."
King Hubbard smiled at the Beast King's generous praise:
"Indeed, it seems that we have reached consensus on many things. I believe that the future of our two countries will not be one of constant disputes and chaos, but a more friendly and inclusive cooperative relationship. To this end, tomorrow's conference will be the most important part, and I hope it can be successfully completed."
"That's right."
The exchange between the two sides was coming to an end.
In fact, both sides had a lot more to talk about. King Hubbard wanted to know about the arrival of the Beast God of the Orc Kingdom, while the Beast King wanted to know how humans could establish trade relations with the Orc Kingdom.
But now, they all stopped talking tacitly and went their separate ways.
After all, both kings knew very well that the two sides could communicate privately, but some things had to be put on the negotiating table, and each side had to put forward their chips and conditions before a result could be negotiated.
After all, communication between countries is not a game.
So, time passed slowly and it was the next day.
The conference between the two countries officially began, and everything proceeded in an orderly manner according to the procedure.
Just before the final signing session, Du Lin finally arrived at the scene in a hurry.
"Ahem, I shouldn't be late."
King Hubbard and the Beast King, who were sitting on both sides of the seats, smiled at Durin's arrival, obviously accustomed to his reckless attitude.
Knowing that he had arrived at the right time, Du Lin smiled and said:
"Well, I, the human magician, film creator and director, Durin Edward, will officially present my new film Spice and Wolf to this bilateral conference between the two countries today!"
“I hope you enjoy watching it.”
After saying this, Du Lin immediately began to prepare for the movie screening, regardless of the shock of everyone present.
At the same time, in various parts of the Human Empire and the Orc Kingdom, new movies are about to be officially screened under the arrangement of various forces!
