The next day, White Thorn Theatre.
Josiah sat in the rehearsal room and examined the actors chosen by the Knight Of The White Thorn. These actors were all from the White Thorn Theatre. Many of them had participated in "Avatar" and "The Story of Hachi the Loyal Dog".
Josiah was satisfied with the choice of supporting roles. As for … the main character …
"Unfortunately, Knight Of The White Thorn, the main character you chose is too young."
Josiah looked at the 'resume' of the young actor in front of him.
This actor knew Josiah, and Josiah also knew him.
He used to come from the bottom of Squirrel Street. He was a thief under the command of an orc called 'Beauty' Guttama. More importantly … he was a mixed-blood demon.
When Josiah first met him, he was wearing tattered clothes and was dirty.
At that time, the Knight Of The White Thorn asked to adopt him. Now, it was proven that the Knight Of The White Thorn had good taste.
Now, he was wearing normal clothes and stood there with some restraint. Just from his appearance, he did have the potential to become an actor.
"Mr. Josiah, if you put on some makeup." The Knight Of The White Thorn seemed very confident in his apprentice.
"It's not a matter of makeup. I know you want to give this boy a chance, but now is not the time …"
Josiah smiled at him, hoping to make him less cautious. However, the young actor still crossed his arms, not knowing what to do.
"Mr. Josiah, I actually have a few candidates for the male lead," said the Knight Of The White Thorn.
But Josiah directly threw the resume of the White Thorn Theatre on the table and turned to look at the Knight Of The White Thorn.
"Have you lost a lot of weight recently?"
Josiah remembered that the Knight Of The White Thorn should be slightly plump.
"When 'Avatar' was released, I didn't sleep for almost a week, so …"
"Very good." Josiah stood up from his seat and patted the Knight Of The White Thorn on the shoulder. "You're the male lead. Don't let me down."
There was no doubt about the Knight Of The White Thorn's acting skills. His role as the villain 'police officer' in "This Demon Is Not Too Cold" was indeed deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Josiah believed that if the Knight Of The White Thorn showed that perverted smile in front of a little girl who had read "This Demon Isn't Too Cold", he would definitely scare the girl to tears, or … force the girl to take out her magic staff and fight him.
"This …"
Josiah did not give the Knight Of The White Thorn a chance to answer. Instead, he walked straight up to the young actor.
"I remember your name is Leon?" Josiah asked.
"Y-yes, Your Highness."
He still seemed to be unable to adapt to this kind of environment. Although the Knight Of The White Thorn had given him enough etiquette lessons, he did not teach him how to stay calm in front of the Chaos Demon.
"I remember that you have a sister."
When Josiah mentioned his sister, the expression on his face finally changed a little.
"My sister is living in the Falosi Mansion. That … thank you, Mr. Josiah …"
"Leave the words of gratitude for now. Continue to learn acting skills from that 'Stanfield'. There will be a chance for you to appear in the future."
Josiah also pointed to the Knight Of The White Thorn in the distance. He had once mistakenly believed that the story in "This Demon Isn't Too Cold" was real, which helped him kidnap the Knight Of The White Thorn.
"That's all for the words of encouragement." Josiah turned around and glanced at all the actors present. "I think you all know what to do next. Take your script. The Shawshank Prison is estimated to be built in about three days! Before that, shoot the scene before the prison. "
… … …
Four days later, Squirrel Street, north of Noland.
"We tracked the Blackflame Wolf for almost six days, and we only got five hundred gold coins for it. It's not even enough to maintain our own weapons."
Reyek walked on the streets of Squirrel Street, listening to the complaints of the group members beside him.
"The Blackflame Wolf is just a variant of the Blackflame Wolf. The fur of this creature is only worth about one silver coin. It's already not bad to get five hundred gold coins."
Reyek did not speak. The advisor of the Jafferk Snake Guild, Rona, began to appease the emotions of the other members. After he was done, he looked at Reyek.
"Leader, can the things we recorded really be exchanged for enough money?" Rona held the crystal that recorded the scene of them hunting the Blackflame Wolf. "From today onwards, our supplies will be relying on Leader … the money earned from your performances, right?"
Rona paused slightly when he mentioned the word "performances". The Jafferk Snake Guild was currently facing a predicament, and that was the predicament of a lack of money.
After a portion of the guild members were affected by the Grey Fog, they had not received any decent commissions for a long time.
This was also one of the reasons why Reyek suddenly decided to go to the Music Guild.
Fortunately, Reyek used his voice to conquer many listeners of the Magic Net Cloud Music. The money he earned also alleviated the financial predicament of the Jafferk Snake Guild, but it did not get rid of them.
The 'snake' had been weak for too long, and it urgently needed a large amount of nourishment.
"I don't know."
Reyek shook his head and gave Rona an uncertain answer. During this time, he had already led the four members out of the city walls of Noland and arrived at the outskirts.
"Leader … Is he not here yet? Isn't the meeting place supposed to be at Squirrel Street? I still want to have a drink at the underground bar in Squirrel Street, "the archer behind Reyek suddenly asked.
They originally thought that the location of the 'transaction' would be at Squirrel Street. After all, Squirrel Street was a gathering place for shady dealings a long time ago.
However, when a group of people called 'reporters' appeared on Squirrel Street, the chaos on the street instantly calmed down.
Rona ignored the noisy archer and asked Reyek, "The location of the transaction is at the Forest of Beginners?"
"No, it's there."
Reyek extended his hand and pointed at an eye-catching building in the distance.
"Fort … Fortress? Fortress? When was it built? " Only then did Rona notice that there was another 'city wall' outside Squirrel Street's city wall. "The last time I came to this city gate was a month ago … Why did those old sages build a fortress so close to the city?"
"That's not a fortress," Reyek said in a low voice. "It's a prison … Shawshank Prison."
"Shawshank Prison?"
Rona repeated this strange name. The other three members following Reyek revealed strange expressions when they heard the word 'prison'.
"That Chaos Demon must be plotting something, right? Why would he set the location of the transaction in a prison? The law enforcement team of Noland must have set up an ambush nearby! Leader … "
"Calm down, Coya. We're not selling anything illegal." Rona reminded the archer behind him not to act out of his occupational habit. "But Leader, is Josiah Yanorod serious?"
