Falosi's Central Theater.
Minister Dias had the honor to sit next to King Kerendo III.
Kerendo III did not choose to sit in the VIP section of the Central Theater. Instead, he sat in an ordinary seat like a visitor.
Although it was quite an honor for Minister Dias to sit next to the honorable king, he was still a little restless.
"Look, those old guys are here." Kerendo III sat at the highest point of the audience. He could clearly see the audience below.
"Master Brad and Master Kelson, they really don't … like movies."
Minister Dias answered Kerendo III stiffly. In the entire Falosi, Kerendo III was probably the only person who dared to call those authors' old guys'.
"Aren't you one of them, Minister Dias?" Minister Dias, "Kerendo III said in a low voice.
This sentence caused Minister Dias' entire body to stiffen. He felt as if his heart was about to stop beating.
"Your Majesty, I … I …" Just as Minister Dias was trying to explain, Kerendo III reached out and patted his shoulder.
"I can understand how you feel, Minister Dias."
Kerendo III looked at the audience below. Some of them were respected nobles of Falosi, while the others were famous Falosi dramatists. They all nodded at Kerendo III before taking their seats.
"I love Falosi's stage plays. My passion for them is no less than any of you," Kerendo III said.
Minister Dias was slightly taken aback by these words. He had once heard some conservative elders complain that this king was too 'fickle in love with the new', 'actually praising the demon's creations and believing them to be far superior to Falosi's traditional arts'.
But that was not the case.
"Aren't Falosi's stage plays the most outstanding? This form of art combines the essence of Falosi for thousands of years. It cannot be replaced. I once believed so as well, "Kerendo III crossed his fingers, his deep voice filled with complicated emotions.
"But the first time I watched the 'movie' that Canara brought back from Noland, I felt even more discontent than admiration."
"Your Majesty …" Minister Dias was slowly understanding Kerendo III's feelings. His heart also became a little sorrowful.
"It was at that moment that I realized the limits of stage plays. The form of expression and dissemination of 'movies' have completely surpassed the stage. So … I was discontent. Like all of you, I thought of refusing to let 'movies' enter Falosi, but would it really work?" Kerendo III looked at the figure sitting at the front of the audience. It was Lady Sizer.
"The answer is that it's useless. Even if I refuse, that Chaos Demon can still produce many outstanding movies. The people will never be foolish enough to choose the past. Karana has happily chosen to accept the future. As the ruler of Falosi, I can't let the people of Falosi fall behind any other country in the art of acting."
Minister Dias listened to Kerendo III's calm narration. If it wasn't for the lack of space around him, he might very well have fallen to his knees to listen to Kerendo III's words.
This king was regretting the passing of an era, and this kind of regret was the most powerless kind. 'Even if we wanted to resist, we couldn't do anything'.
"Stage plays will not die. They will forever remain in the memories of the Falosi, and the appearance of 'movies' will inject new vitality into the Falosi art."
Kerendo III's gloominess was swept away, and his voice was filled with anticipation.
"Minister Dias, perhaps the Baskel and Orsta people won't accept stage plays, but movies will!" Kerendo III said.
"But Your Majesty, the people of Steel Nation are too prejudiced against the Falosi. I really can't imagine those boorish people sitting in the audience obediently."
Minister Dias still did not have any confidence in his mission.
Kerendo III didn't answer him, because the screen in the theatre was already glowing faintly.
The slightly noisy discussion in the spectator stands instantly disappeared.
Minister Dias did not complain to Kerendo III anymore. Judging from Kerendo III's attitude, this mission was something he had to accept.
Right now, the only thing Minister Dias could do was to find some highlights from this' movie ', something that could attract the interest of the' barbarians' of Steel Nation who didn't understand what art was.
A primeval forest shrouded in mist entered Minister Dias's eyes, and there was a series of drums.
"When I lay in the military hospital, my limbs crippled, I could barely move."
The deep monologue of the male lead in the movie suddenly rang out. Minister Dias felt as if the voice was right beside his ears.
The primeval forest in the scene also felt as if it was right in front of him, and he only needed to stretch out his hand to touch it.
Could he watch a performance that was no different from reality? Minister Dias immediately thought of this promotional highlight of the 'movie' when he saw the opening.
The main reason the people of Steel Nation disliked stage plays was because the performances in stage plays were simply too 'fake'. Every performance was limited to a single stage.
But the movie was completely different. At this moment, Minister Dias only felt like he was in a primeval forest.
Using the dim light, Minister Dias immediately took out a notebook and pen and began to jot down the 'highlights' of the movie he thought of, so that when he went to Steel Nation in the future, he could trick the barbarians into watching it.
Minister Dias had just jotted down the first point when the scene of the primeval forest abruptly disappeared, replaced by the male lead waking up in a sealed environment.
"People don't dream when they're in a low temperature sleep …"
What … is this place? Inside a coffin? Minister Dias remembered a play where the male lead woke up from a coffin for revenge, but the following plot far exceeded the limits of Minister Dias's imagination.
"Tommy is an alchemist, I'm not …"
Following the male lead's monologue, the 'coffin' was suddenly pulled open by something, and the scene outside the 'coffin' made Minister Dias stop his jotting down notes.
It was a space made of metal and magical particles gushing out of it. The crystal lamps that he was already so familiar with gave him a strange feeling in this movie.
The people around him floated in midair as if they were hit by the Order magic 'Levitation'.
Just where is the male lead?!
The same question filled the minds of everyone in the audience, including Minister Dias.
"He wants to find a new plane in outer space, a new home for mankind." The male lead's next monologue revealed some more information.
A new … plane?
A large number of questions occupied Minister Dias's mind.
"You've been frozen for five years, nine months, and twenty-two days." The person who looked like an apothecary shouted at everyone in the scene.
Cryogenics … Minister Dias had heard before that some magicians who studied the Frost system would freeze themselves into ice sculptures in order to obtain a longer lifespan.
But what were these people's reasons for being frozen for so long? Were they fleeing?
The next second, the scene abruptly zoomed out. In a space of nothingness, a behemoth made of steel was slowly floating in the air.
After a bright blue ball was reflected along the metal surface of the behemoth, the pen in Minister Dias's hand fell to the ground.
