Annan's power cannot be symmetrical because of his status, but Mrs. Winter can. For example, Mrs. Winter's chief of guards and court magician - they are epic warriors and epic mage respectively.
That was the existence that Annan couldn't help but lure back to Xingyue Bay.
So after the magic ring fell into the hands of Lady Winter, Bethal City returned to silence - they may be negotiating with Lady Winter, or they may be accumulating the power to cause turmoil...
This has little to do with Annan, who was immersed in the fun of creating "Betal's Redemption".
"The Redemption of Betar" is more difficult to localize than "The Fall of the Mage Tower" because Annan knows that the dungeon of Betar City has no square, no release time, no sewers, no parole, not even life imprisonment - why waste food to raise one?
Evil people? The dungeon is crowded and hell is empty.
"The Fall of the Mage Tower" can still use "The Mage Tower was indeed rebuilt" as a pseudo-historical fact to increase the resonance of the audience, but the locals in the Betar dungeon know what is going on. The prisoners have work, food, and single rooms.
...This is already better than what most civilians live.
Annan's choice was to move closer to reality. As for the square that really couldn't be round... there was an open space outside the dungeon, and it was just right to build a high wall to enclose it. And he had already thought about who would build it.
Log structures and masonry structures are time-consuming and labor-intensive, so why not use Breeze City's latest alchemy product: cement? In a week at most, a beautiful and strong high wall will rise from the ground.
As for the identity being exposed... Annan didn't care when the thirtieth magic stone in "The Fall of the Wizard's Tower" was sold, and to this day, no nobleman has discovered that "Jack" and "Olmey are just right" similar...
While writing Betar's Redemption, Annan was thinking about who would play the role.
The first is the actor who plays Andy. Annan doesn't mind playing Andy, but people without much experience would really think that the King in the North had been in prison and was molested by three prisoner brothers - although the first half is indeed true.
Francois has an excellent appearance, but as a feature film, "Betal's Redemption" does not require an outstanding appearance. What Annan can think of is to let a bard play Andy who spans from thirty to fifty years old. As a bard,
As a poet, he should be able to perfectly interpret the freedom Andy longs for.
Then there was the actor who played Freeman - Annan couldn't remember the character's name, so he used Freeman instead.
An old man who had been imprisoned for decades, failed parole many times and finally gave up, and was almost institutionalized by the prison... The first thing Annan thought of was the old orc.
Annan came to the dungeon with an unfinished script. He unexpectedly learned that the old orc could read and handed the script to him: "Do you want to play this Freeman?"
The old orc who was leaning against the oil lamp read slowly. After dozens of minutes, he turned to a blank page and asked Annan: "What is his final outcome?"
Annan said briefly:
The protagonist Andy was falsely accused of killing his wife and adulterer and was imprisoned in a dungeon. In prison, he saw prisoners who had only made a small mistake being beaten to death like a dog, and were bullied and endured by the three prisoner brothers.
Despite the despair here, Andy still holds hope and freedom, and gets to know Freeman, who has failed on parole and has given up, and the old Zoron, who has been in prison for decades.
He brought beer to the inmates by helping the deputy warden avoid taxes, asking officials every day in exchange for money to build a library in the prison, and stealing "The Fall of the Wizard's Tower" by transferring property for the warden to make the prisoners aware of the outside world.
.
But the dungeon has deeply domesticated each prisoner, and they cannot survive in the outside world. After the old Zoron was released, but chose to hang himself in a hotel. After Andy discovered the real murderer of his wife and adulterer
, but after the warden refused to release him. After Freeman said, "The high walls in the dungeon are very
Interesting... When you first come in, you hate the high walls around you; slowly, you get used to living here; in the end, you will find that you have to rely on it to survive." After that, Andy revealed the truth without hesitation: He
He has been resisting the erosion of this dungeon and has been secretly digging a secret passage for 19 years.
On a thunderstorm night, he crawled through the dirty, narrow passages and cesspits, crawled out of the Betar dungeon covered in mud and filth, and bathed in the heavy rain.
After Andy was released from prison, he took away the property transferred by the warden, reported him, and left a letter and a sum of money to Freeman. When he was paroled, Freeman, who stepped out of the dungeon, was about to make the same mistake as his old friend.
When Lun made the mistake, he thought of Andy leaving money and letters, coming to Xingyue Bay where Andy was, and meeting him on the beach of Xingyue Bay.
"I have no objection, I'm honored...but do you really want an orc, an aging orc, to appear in the magical image?"
"Why not?"
The groove on the old orc's face relaxed: "I believe your stories... I will have the opportunity to introduce you to girls from the orc tribe."
Which stories?
Annan went to the bard again, but there was a disagreement: the bard refused to play Andy.
"You are a bard, and you need fame and singing. What else is more suitable than magical images?" Annan persuaded, "In turbulent years, the gods have lost contact. No matter how hard it is for you to hear the stories brought by the wind... But maybe "Beta"
After "My Redemption" spreads, you will be promoted to the elite level before Michael."
These words convinced the bard.
After returning to the official residence and dismissing the servants, Annan contacted Breeze City for the first time in a long time.
"Long time no see, Annan." The ogre greeted him gruffly.
"Yeah." Annan nodded lightly and asked the ogre to contact Michael to gather the team members who were filming "The Fall of the Wizard's Tower"
Then contact Blue Dragon.
"Long time no see, Your Excellency Lanlong." Annan greeted gently.
"Yeah." Blue Dragon nodded reservedly.
After borrowing three ghosts from the blue dragon and bringing the team through the portal, Annan told them: "Next, you should just call me Olme. Your identity is Mrs. Winter's servant."
[...Freeman saw Andy dragging a wooden boat on the snow-white beach of Xingyue Bay, the free beach and the blue water...]
Late at night, Annan, who had finished writing the script, released the portal again and talked with Olmedo, whom he had not seen for a long time.
From Gemma to the Diatra family to Lady Winter, when talking about secrets and crises, Olmedo said: "Don't worry, you won't be in danger with Master Irilanze here."
"Who are you talking about?"
The last voice came out of the annihilated portal: "Teacher Yirulanze...why, you didn't see her?"
Knock knock knock——
At this time, a knock on the door suddenly echoed in the silent study.
A chill ran down Annan's spine and he turned his head stiffly. In the dark doorway where the firelight of the fireplace could not shine, Joan's cheek emerged from the crack in the door.
