Lady Sizer and the Knight Of The White Thorn had already sat down in front of Josiah's study. As there were not enough chairs, Josiah gave his seat to Carolee.
"The above is the current situation of a city ruled by the Grey Fog on another continent."
Josiah found a drawing board that Hiri used and wrote down the situation in Black Shell City with an ink pen.
He wrote down a lot of keywords on the drawing board, including 'Laughter Mixture' and 'Grey Fog Pervading'.
"The people in this city are indeed no different from livestock."
Lady Sizer could imagine the situation in Black Shell City just by listening to Josiah's brief description. It was a situation that was far more desperate than being ruled by a tyrant.
"The whole city is a huge cage. Don't the residents think of resisting the rule of the Grey Fog?" The Knight Of The White Thorn only understood half of it. During Josiah's description of the situation in Black Shell City, the Knight Of The White Thorn directly wrote the word 'creepy' on his face.
It seemed that this knight was the kind of person who could easily immerse himself in novels. He was already imagining how desperate he would be if he lived in Black Shell City.
"The drug called Laughter Mixture can easily destroy anyone's will … If this thing spreads on a large scale, its lethality is more terrifying than swords and magic." Lady Sizer's understanding of this aspect was far deeper than the Knight Of The White Thorn. "Mr. Josiah, is the new movie you are going to make to dissuade these people from giving up the Laughter Mixture?"
"Laughter Mixture … I have already helped them quit. It doesn't matter how they quit."
After Josiah explained the purpose of the movie, he directly took out the script that he had written for two whole nights from the bookshelf behind him.
"So, who wants to read it first?" Josiah held the script in his hand and glanced at everyone present.
At this moment, Josiah felt like he was a 50% discount product in a supermarket, being stared at by aunties carrying grocery baskets.
Fortunately, whether it was Mrs. Sizer or the Knight Of The White Thorn, both of them were the type of people who valued their reputation more than their interests. With her mother present, Carolee wisely chose to turn on the spectator mode.
Taylin was a reserved girl who would never snatch anything from anyone … except this time.
The Frost Elf raised her hand weakly. Her eyes seemed to be asking Josiah, "Is it okay to show me first?"
"Taylin, wait a moment, the script is a little long …"
Josiah knew how fast this Frost Elf read. No matter what book she read, she would always read very slowly. She was the type of person who would read word by word.
Taylin obediently put down her raised hand. In the end, the Knight Of The White Thorn won over his respect for Mrs. Sizer and his own reservations, and stood up from his seat.
"Lady Sizer, please forgive me. I really can't suppress the excitement in my heart," said the Knight Of The White Thorn.
"As you wish." Lady Sizer was very calm.
Hence, the Knight Of The White Thorn walked in front of Josiah, and like a believer receiving the Bible from God, he devoutly picked up the script titled "V" from Josiah's hands.
After receiving the script, the Knight Of The White Thorn quickly read through the contents. He knew that now was not the time to study it carefully. What he needed to do now was to quickly go through the script once, and then look for suitable actors in his mind for the roles in the script.
Less than ten minutes after the Knight Of The White Thorn finished reading the script, he closed the script in his hands and kept muttering something as if he was possessed.
"What do you think?" asked Josiah.
"Think?" The Knight Of The White Thorn suddenly raised his head and looked at Josiah, then at the script's title which only had the word "V" written on it.
"I … personally think that the moral and ideological depth of this movie is far less profound than 'The Shawshank Redemption', but this movie really makes it hard for people to calm down."
The Knight Of The White Thorn said as he handed the script to Lady Sizer.
"Hard to calm down?"
Lady Sizer was sitting very close to the Knight Of The White Thorn, so she could vaguely hear the lines that the Knight Of The White Thorn muttered while reading the script.
"It's … it's like the feeling when I wanted to play the hero I admired when I was a child." The Knight Of The White Thorn stepped forward as if he wanted to grab Josiah's hand, but Josiah cleverly avoided the knight's hand.
"Mr. Josiah, please let me dub for the male protagonist V. V's lines are really unforgettable! I can feel my blood boiling just by repeating them now! "
This was the biggest impression that the Knight Of The White Thorn had when he read the script, and that was to fully activate his chuunibyou state. He desperately hoped that he could transform into the strange character V and use a deep voice to say those cool lines.
"Lines …" Lady Sizer looked at the Knight Of The White Thorn's performance. The Knight Of The White Thorn was almost a middle-aged man in his fifties, but a script could still make him so hot-blooded. If the characters in this script were to be replaced by a younger person, it would definitely … cause a sensation.
Lady Sizer flipped through a few pages and saw a few lines … that were enough to make one's hormones boil.
"The people should not be afraid of their rulers, but the rulers should be afraid of their people." Lady Sizer quickly skimmed through the contents of the script. While doing so, she also muttered to herself, which seemed very interesting to her.
"Beneath this mask is not only the body, but also the mind, and the mind is not afraid of the blade."
Lady Sizer took a deep breath and tried to imagine the context of these lines. Just thinking about it made one's blood boil.
"Eh? You're already reading the script? "
The door to Josiah's study was pushed open at this moment. Hiri poked her head out from behind the door and saw Carolee sitting in Josiah's seat at first glance.
Carolee waved at Hiri with both hands enthusiastically. Hiri smiled and waved back gently as a response.
She was holding more than ten pieces of drawing paper in her hands.
"Is this a comic?"
Josiah walked to Hiri's side and took the drawing paper from Hiri's hands. These were the comics that Hiri had drawn about V.
"Didn't you say that this could be a comic or something when you wrote the script? I tried drawing it today, "Hiri said.
There were books similar to comics in this world, but they weren't very popular … When Hiri was practicing her drawing skills in class today, she tried drawing a comic about V.
"The drawing style is exactly the same. It's really … indescribably amazing. At this rate, I think I can draw something like Batman?"
Josiah glanced at the first comic that Hiri had serialized. This drawing style was learned from Josiah, so it revealed a dark and tough style, which was very suitable for an anti-hero like V.
"I've practiced for so long, so of course it's amazing. But what's a bat?" Hiri accepted Josiah's praise generously, but she still didn't understand why Josiah would think of bats.
