Therefore, after reading the detailed introduction of the three heroes, everyone in the tavern immediately started a discussion.
"I never expected that the seemingly crazy and inhuman Caster was actually such a person before his death. This is completely beyond my expectation."
"Yes, yes. Before he fell into the evil path, he was actually a general defending the country. It is really surprising."
"Everyone has two sides. No one is born evil. But even so, since Caster made such a mistake during his lifetime, he doesn't deserve sympathy at all."
"By the way, who is this Joan of Arc? I seemed to see a fleeting figure in the movie. Is that the Joan of Arc in Caster's memory?"
"I saw it too. She is such a beauty. I really hope I can see her in the next movie."
"… "
People were talking about it.
Hearing these words, King Hubbard, who had also read the Heroic Spirits Setting Collection, said with emotion:
"From a national hero to a murderous demon, sometimes the collapse of faith can lead to tragic consequences beyond people's imagination. I remember that there were many people in the history of the empire who were originally bright and righteous, but fell into the evil path because of a single thought."
"Um."
General Wilhelm nodded and said:
"Although this kind of thing rarely happens to knights, it happens quite often to magicians. Magicians who originally pursued the truth, because they felt that their life span was short, cast evil magic to transform themselves into undead, causing many tragedies. This kind of thing is not uncommon in the history of the empire."
"The Undead? Now that you mention it, the previous Lord of the Mage's Tower and the Dean of the Imperial School of Magic is also a similar person."
"Oh, you mean that one? His situation is rather special, I think it's better not to use him as an example."
"Haha, that's true."
After King Hubbard finished speaking with emotion, he suddenly noticed that the orc prophet beside him was looking at the book in his hand with a serious expression.
He walked over out of curiosity and found that the other person was not reading the "Fate Zero Heroic Setting Collection", but was flipping through another "Steins;Gate Character Collection".
Of course, the Orc Prophet is not currently paying attention to the many characters in the movie, but to the magic alchemical props displayed at the end of the booklet that may provide evidence for their existence.
Although many of these things were just scribbled by Durin and might not necessarily be manufactured, the orc prophet now regarded them as something extremely important and kept flipping through them.
King Hubbard couldn't help but frown when he saw this scene, but he didn't associate the old man in front of him with a spy from the enemy country. He just thought that the other party was interested in this kind of thing.
…
Imperial School of Magic.
The stories of the three heroes during their lifetime also caused a stir among magicians.
After reading the stories of the three heroes, the magicians couldn't help but start all kinds of discussions.
"I didn't expect that these Heroic Spirits had such a wonderful life when they were alive. After they died, they became Servants and were controlled by a group of magicians. It's really sad."
"But this is their own choice. The reason why the Heroic Spirits were summoned by the Holy Grail is because they themselves are obsessed with the Holy Grail. If they didn't want to make up for their regrets, they wouldn't be manipulated by others."
"By the way, what is the state of the Heroic Spirits after their death? Where do their souls go? How are they summoned by the Holy Grail?"
"You ask me this, who should I ask? It's not mentioned in the movie."
"Yes, FateZero has hardly explained the setting of Heroic Spirits so far. It does talk a lot about the setting of magic, but it is not comprehensive."
"That's not enough. I think if I want to make a setting collection, it should be at least ten times thicker than this one, right?"
"Yes, yes, I strongly request that a complete "Fate Zero" setting collection be republished, at least to explain the many settings in it clearly!"
"Come on, the movie isn't even over yet, what kind of setting collection do you want? Instead of this, you might as well take a look at the magic alchemy devices in the book "Steins;Gate". I think these things are very interesting, and many of them can even be made right now."
"Now the Mage's Tower has established a patent system, right? That means if students like us make a lot of things here, we can apply for patents and make money without doing anything?"
"Good boy, you have a great idea. I'm leaving first, brother!"
"Oh my god, you guys are so excited when it comes to making money? Okay, slow down and wait for me!"
"… "
All of a sudden, many students left the square in the blink of an eye, leaving only a group of lecturers and professors looking at each other in bewilderment.
They were not without interest in the patent of magic alchemy tools, but as lecturers, they couldn't bring themselves to do it. Now they could only look at Scar with dark faces, obviously blaming him and Du Lin for putting this kind of thing into the movie setting collection.
In response, Scar just smiled awkwardly and said nothing.
After all, if he really told others about this blatant act of poaching students from the academy, he would probably be beaten to death soon.
Chapter 197: "Fate Zero" Heroic Spirit Settings Collection! (Part 3)
Chapter 197
The top of the Mage's Tower.
After several great sages finished reading the set of settings given to them by Durin, their expressions suddenly became complicated.
After all, not to mention the fantasy-style stories in "FateZero Heroic Spirit Setting Collection", the charm shown by the movie itself has completely conquered everyone.
Not to mention that those strange and bizarre magic alchemy items in the "Steins;Gate" setting collection have already fully demonstrated the foreseeable future of the discipline of magic alchemy.
No matter from which perspective, the discipline of magic alchemy will be an emerging magical discipline that is bound to rise.
So when facing Durin's smile that seemed to be expected, the great sages immediately sighed, obviously lamenting the impermanence of the world.
In the past, they always thought that Durin was doing stupid things, but now he actually found a way out. This made the great sages feel an indescribable sense of absurdity.
On the other hand, Dean Hohenheim thought deeply for a long time after reading the contents of the setting collection, and said slowly:
"It seems that my previous idea is indeed necessary."
"What do you think?"
Not knowing what the great sages were discussing before, Du Lin showed a confused expression, and Dean Hohenheim glanced at him and said slowly:
"I proposed before that the Imperial Magic Academy will set up another branch to recruit ordinary people who are smart and talented but lack magical talent. In the future, the academy will align the courses of students in all disciplines with the subject of magic alchemy, and all students' general education courses will include content on magic alchemy."
"What?"
Unexpectedly, the other party made such an unimaginable proposal, even Du Lin took a breath.
After all, he was well aware of the trajectory of the Imperial School of Magic and the Mage's Tower over the past thousand years, and he was also well aware of the old-fashioned principles followed by many magicians who came from the Mage's Tower.
If his past support for the discipline of magic alchemy was an slap in the face of the magicians who founded the Tower of Wizards, then Dean Hohenheim's decision was simply digging up the graves of the earliest magicians.
No one expected that Dean Hohenheim, who was thought to be the most observant of the old rules, would change his past style and make such a shocking decision.
As if noting Durin's surprise, Dean Hohenheim said calmly:
"Everything you have done has proven the future of the discipline of magic alchemy. It has also shown a future that no one has ever imagined in the past. I think this future is great and worth pursuing. For this, I think it's okay to sacrifice some ancient principles."
"This... do the other great sages agree?"
The other great sages were silent about Durin's surprise, but their silence already represented their attitude. This was the proposal of everyone at the top of the Mage Tower.
For this reason, it is hard to imagine that this ancient institution of learning, which has been passed down for thousands of years and has hardly undergone any major changes, would undergo such a big change today, and all this is just because of the movie he made.
Du Lin couldn't help but feel an instinctive absurdity and an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.
Yes, this is exactly the future he longs for, and it is what he has always insisted on from the bottom of his heart, to use movies to influence the world and to use magical alchemy to develop the world.
Now, this change and development is happening right before his eyes, and Du Lin can't help but feel excited from the bottom of his heart.
On the other side, Dean Hornham said calmly:
"However, don't be too happy too soon. Although the great sages present here have already made the final decision on this matter, every change to the Mage Tower must be voted on and approved by all members of the Mage Tower in the lecture hall. Before the official conclusion comes out, no one knows what the final result will be."
"Moreover, if we want to recruit ordinary people to join the academy, how should the standards be formulated? How can we ensure the rationality of the selection system? And how can we add the courses of magic alchemy as general courses to the initial courses of each subject? These are all things that need to be considered, especially the latter. If the lecture hall approves the proposal, you, the Alchemy Tower, must submit a report immediately!"
In response to Dean Hohenheim's speech, Du Lin smiled calmly:
"Don't worry, just leave these small things to Scar. I still have to rush to shoot a new movie."
"A new movie?"
All of a sudden, all the great sages' ears tightened at this moment.
In response to this, facing those pairs of gazes that were so hot that they seemed to want to swallow him up, Du Lin quickly turned around and said goodbye, not daring to stay any longer.
Soon, when Du Lin stepped out of the Mage's Tower, he couldn't help but sigh instinctively.
"This world is finally starting to change!"
Fortunately, the change was in the direction he expected.
…
In Edward's tavern.
After reading the setting collection and giving each of them a compliment, the drinkers left.
King Hubbard, Princess Amy and the knights originally wanted to wait for Durin to come over to discuss future matters, but after waiting for a long time in vain, they left first.
Before leaving, the king left a message for Winry and Zat, asking them to convey it to Durin.
At the same time, as the number of people in the tavern gradually decreased, the tavern members also became more idle.
Just then, a petite figure sneaked in from outside. When she saw the headless knight standing at the bar, she was instinctively startled and it took her a while to react.
"Oh, Juno, you're back. Was the movie good?"
The girl instinctively showed a surprised expression at the Headless Knight's heroic remarks. It was obvious that she did not expect that her whereabouts were known to the other party.
On the other side, Wiz smiled and said:
"I saw you in the cinema before. Who is the old man next to you? Your relative?"
"That big... He is my grandpa..."
"So this is your grandpa, why don't you ask her to come visit us?"
"He will only be here for half a day, and will take a carriage back to his hometown in the afternoon."
"Is that so?"
No one in the tavern had any doubt about Juno's words, or they were too lazy to doubt them.
After all, most people don’t think that this little animal-eared girl who is often confused and speaks incoherently poses any threat.
Even if there is a real threat, the combat capability of this tavern is more than capable of handling most situations.
At the same time, when everyone was chatting and sharing their thoughts after watching the movie during the day, a magic circle suddenly appeared and Du Lin's figure appeared on the scene.
"Hey, you guys are all here."
With the appearance of Durin, the tavern members had obviously forgotten their anger about the suspension of updates and just nodded in agreement.
Wen Li hurried over and said:
"Lord Edward, a friend of General Wilhelm asked me to bring you a message."
"friend?"
"Yes, he is an old man with white hair, but his stature is very tall, which is totally inconsistent with his age."
"Oh, I see."
Knowing who the friend was, Du Lin asked:
"He said something."
"He said that some problems must be solved eventually, and the spread of movies can no longer be limited to the southern border."
"this… "
Hearing this, Du Lin's eyes suddenly lit up.
He realized that what he had longed for had finally arrived.
It looks like the goal of spreading the film across the empire can finally be achieved!
Chapter 198: Challengers in the Film Industry
Chapter 198
The time of Frost Film Festival is gradually passing, and this long festival which lasted for about half a month and lasted until mid-October has finally come to an end.
Compared to past Frost Festivals, this year’s Frost Film Festival is an unprecedented experience for the people of the South.
Not to mention the grand occasion of four films being screened on the first day of the festival, the packed TV bars and cinemas every day thereafter were enough to prove how lively it was.
It can be said that most people in the southern border did not feel the slightest bit of cold during this frosty festival. Instead, they argued fiercely over tickets and discussed the plot.
