The Great Chief unexpectedly did not meet her in the study.
When Lorgar followed Wendy into the parlor on the first floor of the castle, he found that in addition to Roland Wimbledon, there was a somewhat unfamiliar woman in the hall.
She looked at the other person curiously, and the latter was also watching her, but what made the wolf girl a little uncomfortable was that there was a scrutiny in the woman's eyes, as if she wanted to see through her whole body.
"You're here," Roland said with his relaxed and gentle demeanor, "I'm looking for you because I have a new task to give you. Sit down and talk."
"Yes," After staying in Neverwinter City for half a year, Lorgar also basically found out the temperament of the Great Chief's lack of etiquette, and raised his tail and sat down directly opposite the woman, "but please allow me to report a news first, Regarding the extreme south."
"Oh?" The other party raised his eyebrows, "You said."
Lorgar repeated what his father heard, "Although I don't think the Iron Sand City clan poses any threat to the Clearwater Port, it is better to be more vigilant. It takes a lot of effort to reclaim a piece of land, but it is very easy to destroy it, especially It's when the main force of the First Army returns to Neverwinter."
"So that's what happened," Roland said, rubbing his chin. "In fact, when formulating the migration plan, the staff had considered this aspect. It's been almost a year now, and they should be prepared."
Lorgar thoughtfully, "They mean..."
"You guessed it right," Roland replied with a smile, "Until the threat of the Battle of God's Will is lifted, the First Army cannot take care of every corner of the kingdom, and matters in the extreme south have to be solved by local forces. ." He paused, "Of course, no matter what, I have to thank your father. If he is willing to intervene, the matter will be handled more securely."
"Maybe I can write a letter to my father." The wolf girl replied subconsciously, and it wasn't until she said the words that she realized that she had inadvertently stood in Neverwinter City... or the perspective of the Great Chief.
"Since it's a political negotiation, it's up to me," Roland waved his hand. "Besides, I didn't come to you to discuss such a serious issue. Let me introduce you first. The lady by my side is named May, and you may have heard of it. Another title of hers: Star of the West."
"Xinghua... Theater troupe?" Luo Jia was stunned for a moment. She didn't have much interest in drama. She even learned the name from Echo, only that there were two actors who were very popular among Neverwinter. The flower troupe is also named for this.
But what does this have to do with her
"You are the third princess of the Crazy Flame Clan, aren't you? As expected of a desert nation, it is indeed a bit different from us." May finally put away her scrutiny eyes, got up and saluted her gracefully, "First time meeting. , Miss Lorgar, please give me more advice on future cooperation."
Cooperation? Lorgar looked at the Great Chief blankly. The other party was neither a witch, nor did she have the ability to perform like Echo. Where did the cooperation begin
"That's right," Roland raised the corners of his mouth, "Do you remember when I said that more people should accept witches with abilities similar to yours? Souls should not be related to appearance, no matter if they have different abilities than ordinary people. The parts, the scales on the face, are still essentially one of us. And to do that, drama is the quickest way.”
"Do you want me to act in a play?" Lorgar suddenly panicked. Although she was determined not to cover up her ears and tail, the locals did not show any obvious rejection to her, but this was different from deliberately standing in the spotlight of the public. It's two completely different things. "But I don't know anything about it, and it's not something I'm good at. Besides, I didn't feel any obvious malice in Neverwinter. Maybe you should find someone else..."
"Don't worry," Roland seemed to see what she was thinking, "You don't have to perform in front of everyone, and the audience is not Neverwinter. This is an unprecedented attempt. I call it electricity... No, "Magic Shadow" . "
"Shadow?" the wolf girl repeated.
The Great Chief picked up a strange spar on the table and shook it at her, only then did she notice that it was not an ordinary ornament. The silver-white prism was inlaid with three dazzling gems, and there were several faint blue stripes engraved around it. Under the shaking, she could even see cold light flowing in the lines.
"This thing is called Time Sigil. Like the Divine Will Sigil, it is a technology left over from the Taquila era. It can achieve a variety of magical effects through the combination of different magic stones." He explained, "But The function of time is not to change time, but to record a scene and play it over and over again. If it weren't for this victory, many high-quality magic stones were collected from the huge terrifying beast and high-level devil. It's really not easy to get such a valuable talisman. In other words, the stage for this performance is not in the central square, nor in any square inch, but in this real world."
"When I heard that magic can do such wonderful things, I couldn't describe the surprise and joy in my heart." May sighed, "Miss Lorgar may not know much about drama, so I don't know what this means. What. Actors are affected by factors such as age, experience, status, etc., and it is difficult to maintain the same level in every play, so their peak work is always only once."
"But now Your Majesty can record this scene, which means that as long as you prepare in advance and rehearse a few more times, you will be able to reproduce the most wonderful performance again and again. Every movement and every expression is in full focus. The state, this is like a miracle for us!"
"I heard that this kind of talisman was originally only used to record significant meetings and ceremonies. It can be associated with drama and decided to rehearse a story based on a real background. I have to say, Your Majesty's idea is really genius. ." May praised without reservation, "I bet that as long as the news is released, no drama actor will be indifferent. Even if it is a golden dragon, they will never miss this historic opportunity. ."
"Ahem," the Great Chief showed a rare embarrassed look, "Of course, the Star Flower Troupe will get this honor better. In the past two years, you have paid a lot to publicize the decree." After he finished speaking, he looked at Luo Jia, "What do you think? This story can be said to be tailor-made for you. It took me almost half a month of free time to finish writing it."
Even in the end, Lorgar didn't quite figure out what the hell was going on with the phantom. She couldn't relate drama to miracles, and she didn't want to spend her precious time on something so uninteresting. It's just that when she heard the Great Chief say that this play was specially created for her, she couldn't help but change her decision.
"If that's the case... then I'll try it." Lorgar shook his ears and replied.
