Phimes stood uneasy outside the door of the study.
Her mentor Morgan had been in for almost five minutes, but there was no movement in the room.
Not only her mentor, but also other actors from the White Jinghua Troupe never came out after entering this study.
No... is something wrong
Phimes was walking back and forth outside the door anxiously.
She once heard a rumor that the reason why the Bai Jinghua Theater was able to rise so quickly, and the "movie", a performance form described by magic, was shown in the Bai Jinghua Theater.
That's because Sir Whitebud once traded privately with demons, and the theater manager dedicated his soul and life to rumors like a powerful demon.
She heard these rumors from some of her peers, even after watching "Beauty and the Devil" and "This Devil Isn't Too Cold."
The image of the devil in her mind gradually changed from the "cunning and treacherous monster that feeds on the flesh and soul of human beings" as the church propaganda. It became a "somewhat dumb handsome uncle".
When Phimes thought of the word demon now, her mind was filled with the image of Leon in "This Devil Is Not Too Cold".
It is undeniable that Phimes knows that demons are indeed not a friendly race. At least compared with neutral races such as dwarves and elves, it is a fact that demons are at war with the kingdom of frost and the kingdom of holy religion.
Could it really be eaten by some powerful demon
Finally, Phimes couldn't bear it any longer, and put her hairy ears against the door of the room and began to eavesdrop on the conversation inside.
The moment she got close to the door of the room, she heard someone behind the door shouting "Next".
Feimeisi looked right and left immediately, and there were no more actors from the Bai Jinghua Troupe waiting outside the door, which meant that she could finally go in and participate in the casting of the new movie.
To be honest... Fei Meisi was somewhat resistant to participating in the film and had some expectations, but in order to confirm the safety of her mentor, she still let her open the door of the room.
She walked into the room, looked left and right, and soon saw Instructor Morgan sitting on the sofa on the other side of the room.
Fei Mess breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to call out her mentor's name. At this moment, she suddenly found that Morgan was holding a stack of white papers and was looking at it intently. She was so focused that she didn't even notice Fei Mess. Step into this room.
She gave up the idea of saying hello to her mentor, because she knew that the great dramatist could only be so focused when he got a good script.
It would be grossly disrespectful to disturb Master Morgan at such a time.
"You... the last actor to be cast?"
"Huh? Uh... um, yes."
Phimes originally held her breath and didn't want to make a sound, and planned to wait until Mentor Morgan finished reading this script before greeting her.
But someone broke the silence in the study first, and Feimeisi replied subconsciously. When she saw the figure sitting behind the desk clearly, her ears suddenly perked up as if she had discovered something dangerous. .
"demon!"
Phimes covered her mouth to suppress her urge to scream, and instantly took a step back.
"It's true that I'm a demon, but I don't think I'm that scary yet."
Qiao Xiu looked at the other party's excessive reaction, as if he saw an "alien" sticking its tongue out to you in the dark.
"… "
Femes quickly calmed down, Joshua's appearance was no different from that of a human being, and what really made Femes feel afraid was... The smell emanating from Joshua's hands came from the smell of the dead.
Maybe ordinary humans can't feel it, but because of her race, she "smell" the breath of death that almost made her breathless.
"Sorry, didn't expect this to scare you."
Based on Phimes' gaze, Joshua quickly determined the reason why the girl with animal ears was frightened.
The mark of the contract branded on the palm of Qiao Xiu's hand is also part of the undead monarch...
Joshua blocked the palm of the hand marked with the mark downwards, and the ears that were raised on Feymes's head slowly eased.
But she remained alert to Joshua.
"Your tutor told me that your name is Phimes?" Joshua said.
"Um... yes."
Phimes didn't expect that her mentor would sell her property to this demon so easily.
If "This Devil Isn't Too Cold" made Feimes lessen a lot of prejudice against demons, but the aura of death emanating from Joshua's body made Feimes really unable to pretend that he didn't see it.
Could it be possible... This demon really seems to have sacrificed the lives of tens of millions of people as rumored
"Miss Phames... If I'm not mistaken, you're not fully human."
Joshua stared at the fluffy ears on her forehead, which were not human ears by any means.
"… "
Phimes, who was always on alert, covered her ears on her head with her hands, and did not intend to answer Joshua's question. From time to time, she looked at Morgan who was sitting beside her.
Hope her mentor can take her out of this dangerous place soon.
The breath of the skeleton was really terrible for this little girl, and it may be that Joshua had already been labeled as a "dangerous and impossible to approach" character in Feymes' eyes.
"A brand new movie is in the works, and I hope you, Miss Phames, will join the cast as one of the actors."
Before Joshua handed over the script of the movie to Morgan to watch, Morgan had revealed to Joshua the girl's background... Her mother was the "Lord of the Forest".
The so-called Lord of the Forest was just a name given to her by humans, a title that contained awe. In fact, Phimes' mother was a powerful monster.
"I'm sorry, I'm not going to..."
Fei Meisi admits that she yearns to become a movie actor, and this opportunity is in front of her eyes, but she still can't forget the breath of death that made her heart palpitate just now!
Therefore, for the sake of her own life and that of Morgan's mentor, Phimes wanted to reject the temptation of this demon.
"Calm down, Phimes."
But Morgan, sitting on the other side, interrupted Phimes.
"Teacher Morgan, I feel a very terrible death breath in him."
Phimes's tone gradually weakened when she said this, and finally the alert expression on her face was replaced by surprise, because she saw the tears on the old cheeks of Morgan's mentor...
Morgan quickly controlled his emotions and returned the script in his hands to Joshua.
"It's a good story," Morgan said.
"This good story needs good actors to present it to everyone in the form of a movie," Joshua replied.
After a brief silence for a few seconds, the master dramatist sighed after he glanced at a Farossi painting called "Revolution" painted on the wall behind Qiao Xiu.
"Please let me also participate in the performance of this film." He said in a sincere tone.
