Priestess Olanca followed a group of people into the screening room.
She was not used to sitting with so many humans. The other eight elven priests sat on the other side of Priestess Olanca.
"I've checked the surroundings. It's safe."
Elder Cephas slowly walked to the other side of Priestess Olanca and sat down. He spoke in a voice that only Priestess Olanca could hear.
"It seems like … our Daughter of the Forest is really lucky."
Priestess Olanca let out a sigh of relief. She had never let her guard down ever since she entered the human city. Elder Cephas had also been vigilant about her surroundings.
After entering the dim screening room and being in such a small space with a group of humans, her vigilance had reached its peak.
But now, Priestess Olanca felt that her vigilance was unnecessary.
"Elder Cephas … Do you think the movies made by humans are really that interesting?"
Priestess Olanca glanced at the row of humans behind her. They were all focused on the screen in front of them.
Not only them, but the other young elven priests beside her were also doing the same. Priestess Olanca could see the anticipation and joy in their eyes.
Ever since the Blackwood Forest was burned down, Priestess Olanca had rarely seen her sisters so … happy.
"I don't understand either. Maybe we're getting old, Olanca." Elder Cypher let out a sigh.
Elder Cephas was the kind of person who would not feel anything after watching "This Demon Is Not Too Cold". In fact, he even felt a little sleepy.
"…"
Priestess Olanca did not continue the conversation. The screen was already lit up, and the sparse chatter around her gradually died down.
The opening scene of the movie was a blackboard used for teaching in a magic academy. The blackboard had the title "My Hero" written on it.
My Hero … The only answer Priestess Olanca could give was the Holy Tree Narushi. The World Tree had raised millions of Blackwood Elves. It could no longer be described as a hero, but a god.
The answer given by the little boy on the podium in the movie was a pet of his grandfather, a hound named Little Eight.
The movie unfolded as Little Boy narrated the story. The busy scene of Klia Station north of Squirrel Street was presented before everyone's eyes.
"I feel like … there's something familiar about this puppy." Carolee suddenly said.
"It's a rural hound from the Eastern Kingdom. It has a quarter of Mrakro's bloodline … I know who you're thinking of, the Daughter of the Forest, but … I don't think it's possible," Elder Cephalon said softly to Caroline who was sitting beside him.
Using a wild animal as the main character really touched Elder Cypher's heart. Not only him, but Caroline also thought of the brown bear that had passed away not long ago based on the name 'Little Myna.'
When the movie started, Priest Olanca and Elder Cephalon perked up. They hoped to find something good and interesting in this movie so that they could use this movie as a bargaining chip when they negotiated with Josh. That way, the conversation wouldn't be too stiff.
But … Priest Olanca found that she was disappointed with the movie.
It wasn't because of the quality of the movie. As an elf, she really liked the warm and peaceful atmosphere of the small town, and everyone got along well with each other.
However, harmony meant that there were no surprises. Compared to This Demon Is Not Too Cold, this movie was too dull. There were no ups and downs at all.
Basically, the movie only told the story of the little boy's grandfather, Parker, and the hound named Little Eight getting along.
Priest Olanca could vaguely hear someone yawning around her. It seemed like it wasn't just her … even the humans around her felt bored because of the previous plot.
The most fatal thing was … the movie's music was simply too outstanding. The background music played by an unknown musical instrument was extremely pleasant and … comfortable.
Priest Olanca guessed that someone had already heard it and wanted to sleep. She glanced at the other elven priestesses sitting around her. They were amused by the accident that happened when Little Eight and Professor Parker interacted with each other.
This heartwarming scene was probably the only thing that kept everyone watching.
But Priest Olanca, who liked animals to begin with, still felt that this was a very good movie. It was interesting, but not at all.
Priest Olanca had never raised a hound before, but she had raised elk, squirrel, and white sparrow …
"Does your hound wait for you at the station every day?"
"That brat only comes to me when it's time to eat bones …"
Just then, Priest Olanca heard the conversation between the two humans. The movie had progressed to the point where Professor Parker was riding a carriage back to the station near his home. Little Myna was waiting for his part at the station.
Priest Olanca was not surprised that Little Eight could do this. Elves were born with the ability to communicate with nature … It was very easy to get a hound to wait for him at the station every day.
Was the story … over here?
Priest Olanca had no idea what movies were like, nor did she know how long a normal movie should be.
But she felt that it was almost time for the story to come to an end … A loyal hound waiting for his master to return every day … This was indeed worthy of the title of the loyal hound Little Eight.
It was a very heartwarming story. Priest Olanca remembered what Carolee had told her before. She had to admit that she really liked this plain story.
But some of the humans around her were not interested in nature. Priest Olanca could vaguely hear the sound of someone dozing off, but she was soon woken up by someone next to her.
It's time to end … The story's ending was perfect.
Priest Olanca watched as Professor Parker prepared to go to the station again, but Little Eight's behavior was a little strange.
No … the story should end here. Priest Olanca actually hoped that the movie would continue as it was.
But it turned out that the director of a movie would never write such a 'simple' story.
"In its eyes … it seems to see death," Elder Cephalon suddenly said softly.
"No, the Daughter of the Forest said that the movie was fictional. That hound … shouldn't …"
Priest Olanca's heart, which had calmed down a little, suddenly tensed up.
The movie did not have a happy ending as she had hoped. Little Myna watched his master, Professor Parker, leave the station in a carriage. While Professor Parker was teaching a class in a magic academy, he suddenly clutched his chest and fell to the ground.
