Minister Dias did not forget his duty. When he came back to his senses, he immediately searched the ground for the pen that he dropped on the ground.
However, the lights in the theater were just too dim. Minister Dias was old and his eyesight wasn't that good in the first place, which made him extremely anxious. Other than the fact that he was afraid of interrupting Kerendo III's viewing experience, he was also afraid that he would miss out on some of the highlights.
It took Minister Dias more than a minute to find the pen he dropped on the ground. When he returned to his seat with the pen in hand, he took out his notebook and was about to jot something down when the rumbling of magic-powered machines around him stopped him.
The moment he looked up, the male lead of the movie had also pushed his wheelchair slowly to the square of the planet's encampment.
Accompanied by the sound of machines hitting the ground, a magic-powered machine that walked on two legs walked past the male lead.
Is that … a mannequin?
Minister Dias stared at the steel creation that was five to six meters tall on the screen. In Minister Dias' knowledge, Magitek Dolls were nothing more than a 'toy' made of ceramic. The gears at the joints were engraved with inscriptions that allowed them to perform some simple movements.
Some fanatical alchemists had been trying to make this craft more practical, such as the 'farming mannequin' that Minister Dias once saw in the Universal Exposition in Noland. However, that mannequin was more like a farm animal that was only half the height of a human than a human.
On the other hand, the magic-powered mannequin that was made of steel was exuding a metallic beauty from head to toe. Even a layman like Minister Dias could tell that the mannequin would definitely become the Grim Reaper on the battlefield.
"How did they do it?"
Minister Dias stared at the 'flying machines' and giant magic-powered vehicles that were made of steel. Even the ground was made of steel. He could not imagine where these terrifying magic-powered machines came from.
"I don't want to believe it either, but these incredibly invasive and beautiful magic-powered machines are all created by illusions." Kerrendor III's voice rang beside Minister Dias's ears.
Illusions?
When Minister Dias was still the manager of the troupe, he had also invited one or two illusion mages to support their performances.
However, the Illusion Magicians could only create some dark clouds, strange lights, and rainbows, as well as some dangerous beasts.
It was easy to tell that the things they created were fake at first glance, but the magic-guided machines in front of Minister Dias didn't look fake at all!
If he took a closer look, he could even see the scratches on the surface of the magic-guided machinery, as well as the parts where the gears engaged and the magic particles that spurted out from the gaps.
"I also … can't imagine it, but I understand why Your Majesty is so confident in this movie."
Minister Dias almost thought that Lady Sizer had dug out the magical machines from the ancient civilization ruins for the filming of the movie.
"Noble Dias, the beautiful journey has just begun. Won't you decide whether or not to accept my order after you've finished it all?" Kerendo III asked.
Finish the rest of the book? Minister Dias' understanding of Avatar was indeed limited to the shock brought to him by the first few magical machines.
But that was enough.
Because he clearly understood what the people of the Iron Nation worshipped. Other than powerful martial strength, it was the ever-improving magical machine technology.
Perhaps the city where the most advanced magical machines were born was in Noland, but the country that was the most fanatical about magical machines was the Iron Nation.
Their craftsmen had invented countless magical machines in Noland, and the magical cars that had won the world's attention at the World Expo were only a part of them that they had publicized.
Minister Dias had enough reason to believe that any craftsman who was obsessed with the rotation of gears and bearings, or the linking of inscriptions and magic power would not be able to resist the invasive magical machines in the movie.
It was a sense of beauty that Minister Dias couldn't understand, but the people of the Iron Nation were obsessed with it.
"If Your Majesty Kerendo had allowed me to stage 'This Demon Is Not Too Cold' in the Iron Nation, I might have to spend a lot of effort to convince those 'barbarians' to sit down and watch until the end. But for this' Avatar ', I only need to tie them to their seats." Minister Dias said softly, "I only need the 'one scene' that Lady Sizer mentioned to capture the hearts of the audience."
… …
Josiah sat in the first few rows and finished watching the two and a half hours of Avatar.
"Pandora, what a world to look forward to." The purple-clothed person sat beside Josiah. She said softly after watching the movie she had personally produced, "Whether it's those magical machines or a whole new plane."
"Three hundred years in the future isn't long for some long-lived species," Josiah suddenly remembered that the purple-clothed person didn't have much time left.
But his words didn't offend the purple-clothed person. A smile appeared on her calm face as she looked at Hiri who was sitting on the other side of Josiah.
"I hope my heir can witness the arrival of this day."
Just as Josh and the purple-robed man were conversing, a commotion erupted from the spectator stands behind them. Aside from the voices discussing the plot, there were also many people asking about how Avatar was able to achieve those stunning effects.
"Lady Sizer, you can't joke around! I've worked with quite a few illusionary spellcasters before. How could those things in the movie be constructed from illusions? No matter how you look at it, it's like … reality. "
"Are those Na 'vi really not living in the Underworld? And those creatures and magical machines … "
"I think I've made myself clear enough," Mrs. Sizer's cold voice was clear in the noisy auditorium.
Many of them had begun to doubt whether the world of Pandora in the movie was real. After all, they already knew that the movie was shot in the Underworld.
They had never been to the Underworld, and many of them still thought that the Underworld was a land of death covered in lava. However, the scenery displayed in Avatar had subverted their understanding.
In order to dispel the misunderstanding, Mrs. Sizer stood up and said loudly.
"Many scenes in this movie are constructed from illusions! And the one who created these illusions is a Sage from Noland, the Purple-Robed Mellors. "
"Oh my god …"
"Even Noland's Wise Ones participated in the filming?"
The nobles sitting in the audience seats were unable to accept the news revealed by Mrs. Caesar for a moment.
To any spellcaster, the Sages of Noland were second only to the gods. These nobles sent their children to Noland to learn magic. If they were lucky enough to become an apprentice in the Tower of the Sage, it would be enough for them to achieve a status that was even more outstanding than their parents' generation.
"You should feel honored that the respected Sage Mellors is sitting in the auditorium with us today." Mrs. Sizer looked at the front row and met the eyes of the purple-robed Sage.
The purple-robed Sage didn't reject Mrs. Sizer's invitation. He stood up and lit up the faint purple inscription in his hand, illuminating the dark surroundings.
At this moment, the screen began to show the cast list behind the scenes. The name of the purple-robed Sage was impressively at the forefront of the cast list.
"It's really … Sage Mellors."
"Kid, what are you still sitting for? Hurry up and stand up."
The moment the purple-robed Sage revealed his identity, all the nobles in the auditorium, including the conservative dramatists, stood up to pay their respects to the purple-robed Sage.
The only ones who were sitting were Josiah and Hiri, who was beside Josiah.
"I think you should show the cast list before the movie starts," Hiri said after secretly observing the reactions of the people behind her.
"Before the movie starts, just say 'this is a fictional story' and attach your mentor's name," Josiah replied softly.
