Josh looked at the rearview mirror outside the magic carriage window. The towering Philosopher's Tower was gradually getting further and further away from him.
"What are you guys discussing? I don't understand at all."
Hiri dozed off in the front passenger seat. She had been following Josiah for two days straight and was starting to feel sleepy.
The physique of a human was far inferior to that of a Chaos Demon, especially in terms of resistance to fatigue.
"Hiri, you can take a nap if you're tired."
Josiah glanced at Hiri who was sitting beside him. Noland's season was gradually entering the hot summer season. Even when Hiri was sleepy, she didn't enter her quilt spirit state.
"Wait … Where are we going?"
Hiri rubbed her eyes and looked out the window. Josiah didn't look like he was going back to the Hearthstone Tavern.
"The White Thorn Flower Theatre. I'm going to talk to the Knight Of The White Thorn about the filming of a new movie."
"You've already thought of the script?"
The moment Hiri heard the words' new movie ', her sleepiness was instantly swept away. It was as if she heard a magic spell that could wake her up.
"I've just thought of the theme."
Josiah held the steering wheel with one hand and took out a drawing left behind by the Black Cloak Figure with the other. This drawing clearly recorded the various experiments of a magic doll called 'Heart Lock'.
"This is the intruder you met in the Space of Consciousness?"
Hiri took the drawing from Josiah's hand. The contents had been translated by the Black Cloak Figure into the common language of the continent.
"In the past, humans used it to control their emotions. I think it should be to alleviate the fear brought about by the creatures of the outside world."
Josiah had already read the contents of the drawing once and was even more certain that his plan was feasible.
"Why do I see the words' Rampage 'and' Abandon 'so many times?"
Hiri tried to read the contents, and found that although it was written in the common language of the continent, there were a lot of complicated and uncommon words, and the most frequently mentioned words were words like 'failure'.
"If this kind of magic machine was put in the current era, it definitely wouldn't pass the Noland Magic Machine Guild's inspection. Its reliability is too low." Hiri said.
"Because its function is to absorb human emotions, not to lock onto them. Also, its production method is currently forbidden in Noland."
"The core of the production is the human soul …"
Hiri softly read the line of words left on it. Just the first step of the production method was enough to make one's hair stand on end. That was' stripping the human soul '.
This kind of magic puppet called 'Heart Lock' required the injection of hundreds or even thousands of souls to complete a core, and there was no guarantee that it would succeed.
"Don't even talk about passing the inspection. If the Magic Machine Guild saw this, they would be arrested and locked up by the law enforcement team." Hiri returned the drawing to Josiah.
"There are still too many unknowns about this thing, but the reason it was' abandoned 'was because it absorbed too much negative emotions."
Josiah glanced at a house in the distance as he drove the magic cart. The movie poster of "The Shawshank Redemption" was hanging on it.
"The negative emotions of one or two humans might not be able to affect them, but the audience of a movie can't be counted with a single digit."
… …
The Knight Of The White Thorn stood in front of a blackboard and silently lit his pipe.
There was a statistical table drawn on the blackboard. It was something he learned from the Black Dove News Agency.
This form could help him clearly record all the profits of the movie, which was better than recording them on paper after paper.
It was more motivating to look up and see those 'exciting numbers' every day at work.
Unfortunately, the Knight Of The White Thorn did not feel excited when he looked at the statistics on the blackboard.
The box office of "The Shawshank Redemption" was very high. At first, it was a little low when it was released in Noland. It was far from being as sensational as "Avatar" in Noland.
However, the box office of the movie gradually rose as time went by. Some people were willing to buy two, three, or even four tickets to watch the movie in the theater.
This was the charm of "The Shawshank Redemption". Unfortunately, it was still ranked fourth in the box office.
The top three were occupied by "Avatar", "This Devil Isn't Too Cold", and "Beauty and the Devil".
"Avatar" was a veritable box office devouring machine, far surpassing the second place "Beauty and the Devil" by a large margin.
But no matter how these movies were compared, they all created sky-high profits for the theater industry in Noland. The Knight Of The White Thorn also leapt to become the most famous theater manager in Noland.
However, the Knight Of The White Thorn did not feel any joy because he was still an artist, an unruly artist.
He was not too interested in money. His only goal at the moment was to make an excellent movie himself.
The Knight Of The White Thorn tried to do so. He took advantage of the recent gap to direct a movie and released it in his own cinema.
Unfortunately, the final result was very unsatisfactory to him. The box office of the movie itself was very low, and most of the audience did not buy it.
What really made the Knight Of The White Thorn unable to accept … was that the movie was far inferior to "The Shawshank Redemption".
"How can I eat bread after tasting the delicious cake …" The Knight Of The White Thorn took a deep breath of tobacco and went to his desk to flip through the scripts he had written in the past.
When the Knight Of The White Thorn was young, he was proud of his talent for a period of time. But now, when the Knight Of The White Thorn looked at these scripts, his mind was filled with "childish", "no content", and "I'm going to die if Josiah doesn't write a new script".
Perhaps the God of Art heard the Knight Of The White Thorn's wish. Not long after he entered a state of decadence, an attendant pushed open the door of the study and hurried to him.
"Mr. Josiah is here!" The news brought by the attendant made the Knight Of The White Thorn jump up from his seat.
"Let Mr. Josiah come to see … No, I'll go see him myself."
The Knight Of The White Thorn picked up his coat hanging on the hanger, extinguished the pipe in his mouth, put on his clothes, and hurried out of the study.
"He's in your private theater!"
"My theater? What movie is playing in there? "The Knight Of The White Thorn had a bad feeling.
"The one that was released a few days ago, 'Notes Of Misery'."
