"The Banquet of the Upper Class Nobles" and "The Banquet of the Lower Class Poor" roughly require two to three hundred extras.
When there are many people, there will be chaos, and mages always have their own unique ideas. You never know when a maverick mage will appear. When Annan was editing the film, he had already discovered several people secretly casting charm spells in the crowd.
Or someone who uses light magic to make himself stand out.
So Annan commissioned actors hired from the theater to train extra actors, and then went out of town with Michael to meet the illusionist he hired.
Tina Wright has gone by the names Barna Sweeney, Lynne Owen, Myvan Parkhurst, etc... You can tell how troublesome she is from the frequent name changes.
Michael said that when he was an apprentice at the Mage Shop in Plenty City, he spent some time with Tina Wright, who was also an apprentice, and then the two people's lives took completely opposite paths - because of Michael's tenacity and talent
He was taken to Breeze City by his teacher and joined the Mage Tower. However, Tina Wright, who was more talented, was kicked out because of deception.
Then this disgusting guy wandered in Plan Grace County for more than ten years. It is said that he became a mage and left a lot of bad reputation. However, Tina Wright didn't deceive Michael very much, so they got along quite happily.
This kind of person is obviously not worthy of trust, but Michael said that manipulating illusions is her specialty - this is what Annan saw after meeting her.
When this pale man with tattoos on his cheeks, purple quartz powder on his lips, and his body covered with noisy ornaments and feathers looked more like a wizard than a warlock, after seeing Annan, he used an illusion to imitate a black dragon.
This six or seven meter long black dragon standing majestically behind Tina Wright was so lifelike that even Michael almost cast a defensive spell - but Annan, who had been in contact with real dragons many times, calmly commented: It is too thick and mighty.
And the strong one is different from the beautiful streamlined body of the blue dragon.
However, black dragons are known for their strength and power.
Michael and Tina Wright waved their hands: "This is the customer I introduced to you, so you should have guessed something from this mage robe and black hair."
"Dear King of the North, it is an honor to serve you." Tina Wright bowed with a rattling decoration. "I, Jupa Simon, will swear to the gods that I will follow the direction of your sword.
Means, to keep your secret."
"Tina, your name is Jupa Simon again now?"
Tina Wright immediately tore up the politeness she maintained and cursed like a mad woman: "Damn Michael, the hopeless pig, did you tell him my name?!"
"Annan is my friend, you can trust him."
"Will the King of the North be friends with us commoners? Oh, you are no longer a commoner." Tina Wright sarcastically said, "I don't care whether you are mistresses or lovers, I have no interest in getting involved in the affairs between nobles."
"I kid you not, this is a big deal and we need you to create some illusions."
"I hope so."
"The old rule is, get the money after the job is done."
"no problem."
Tina Wright's eyes with black circles fell on Annan, and she didn't even want to maintain false respect: "Boy, what do you want?"
"I need you to build a complete mage tower in Breeze City. The people in the mage tower should be real enough, and then the rat tide will wash away the mage tower like a wave, and finally break the mage tower in the middle."
Every time Annan said something to Tina Wright, her face became uglier, and finally she said to Michael with a stinking face:
"If you want to team up with outsiders to arrest me, you don't have to go to so much trouble."
"Can't do it?"
Tina Wright pointed to the mage tower in the city: "That broken tower is 300 feet high? If I could build such a thing, would it look like this?"
"This black dragon is my limit. I have been carving it for several years."
The black dragon behind Tina Wright is about ten meters long from beginning to end, and the mage tower is not that complicated. Ten days should be enough.
"Then build a 30-foot-tall mage tower in a week."
"No, but if you..."
"You also want to add money to our relationship?" Michael interrupted her.
"Damn it! You stupid pig!"
Tina Wright finally followed them back to the city, cursing.
In the circular square, Tina Wright looked up at the Mage Tower with pale cheeks and disdain: "Is it enough to show off your power? Find me a place to live."
"Wait a moment."
Annan got off the carriage and walked into the Master's Tower, and came back soon with a visitor badge. "Wearing the badge can visit the Master's Tower, but visitors can only go to the first three floors."
Tina Wright looked at the badge in silence, not knowing what she was thinking. Michael, who endured her scolding all the way, gloated:
"Are you so moved that you want to cry?"
"I'm so touched... ugh——"
Tina Wright spat out a puddle of disgusting vomit towards Michael, "Sorry, I've been in the car for too long and I was disgusted by your words again."
Annan looked at Michael, who was covered in vomit, with pity.
Cleansing can clean the mage's robe, but it cannot clean the psychological trauma.
The Mage Tower has a guest dormitory, which saves Annan the trouble of finding a place to live for Tina Wright. After talking with her about building the Mage Tower, Annan went to visit Evelin again and discussed tomorrow's scene with her.
"Your mood at this time should be rebellious and determined, not shy."
"I can't do it...I'm not that strong."
"Ruth is not that strong either. She is like a puppet manipulated by her mother. She sacrifices herself for the family. But after meeting Jack, she understands what freedom means. Think of herself as Ruth..."
As night fell, Annan and Red Ghost came to the control floor to prepare for the "Lights Out of the Mage Tower" session that would take place a few days in advance.
The core of the Master's Tower is clearly presented in front of Annan: huge colored rhombus crystals floating on an array of red copper bases.
"The blue crystal controls the defense of the mage tower, the green crystal controls the attack of the mage tower, and the red crystal controls the light source of the mage tower." The tower spirit floating beside him introduced.
"Be careful not to touch them..."
Annan reminded the red ghost who was a little close to the red crystal.
"It can be touched." The ethereal voice said, "Nobles often visit the operation floor, and the crystal can resist direct attacks below the eighth-level spell."
Annan felt a little relieved and stretched out his hand towards the rhombus crystal in front of him.
"The outside world can't do anything to the crystal -"
The halo of the tower spirit flickered and dissipated.
The floating diamond-shaped crystals lost their color and rolled down from the base. The power driving the operation of the Mage Tower was annihilated, and the entire Mage Tower was suddenly shrouded in deep darkness.
In the darkness, Annan continued to stretch out his hand, unable to understand what was happening in front of him.
The red ghost gently pulled Annan, as if asking him to run for his life.
