A strange world

"I don't want to do this, but it seems I have no choice..." Jack slowly approached Ruth and the guardrail, "If you jump from here, I will jump too."

"You are a madman..."

"Miss, with all due respect, I am not the one standing outside the guardrail now."

On the rooftop terrace of the mage tower, Jack cautiously reached out to Ruth who was standing outside the guardrail.

"If you fall from here, you will fall to pieces, and everyone will see your ugly side... You don't want to be like that, right? Give me your hand..."

Ruth looked back at him, took a deep breath, and slowly stretched out her hand——

The moment the two hands touched, a blush crept onto Evelin's cheeks. Evelin covered her face in shame and fell straight from the top of the tower——

This plot failed for the fifteenth time.

Annan thought helplessly, standing by the guardrail and looking down.

Evelin was still covering her face under the Light Feather Technique, slowly falling like feathers in the night sky.

This is a new problem encountered after filming "King of the World".

The scene where "Ruth stands on top of the mage's tower and is rescued by Jack" was reshot many times. Evelin was shy so easily that every touch or upcoming touch would make her shy out of control.

Philosopher's Stone solved the editing problem, but not the casting problem.

"Sorry, I should go back." Olmedo said apologetically while waiting.

Annan had no choice but to end today's shooting.

"I'm sorry..." On the way back to the manor, Evelin lowered her head and pinched her pale fingers together, "I... I can't..."

"It's okay, let's take our time." Annan comforted.

There are less than 20 days left before the second apocalypse forecast... He had better shoot the response points of "The Fall of the Mage Tower" before then.

"Annan, why don't you go find someone else..."

"No, I will find a way."

The filming progress is approaching one-third of the way, and it is too late to temporarily change the heroine at this time. And aside from her shyness, Evelyn's youthfulness is indeed suitable for Ruth's identity.

Returning to the manor, Annan saw the female dwarf, orc and ogre playing cards in the living room as soon as he entered the door.

Soruman Bronzebeard's excuse for this was that he was studying his skills to prepare for defeating Michael, but in fact he was obsessed with the Battle of Castle Lords.

The ogre held the cards that were too small for him between his two fingers and said to Annan: "Your Excellency, I need bigger cards."

"I'll ask the head maid to make a special pair later."

Annan looked at the wrinkled, dirty, and oil-stained cards with distress. This was the set of "prop cards" at the beginning of the magic image. It should have commemorative significance and auction value...

"Bronzebeard, I want to ask you something."

After they finished playing this game, the orcs and ogres took away the cards and went to the wooden house in the back garden to continue. Bronzebeard urged Annan to talk quickly——

Annan told the female dwarf about the trouble he encountered.

"You know how a warrior overcomes his fear?"

If Michael were here, he would definitely say "Oh, the dwarf is bragging again", but the two people here are the juniors of this dwarf who is more than a hundred years old.

"Every true warrior will be thrown into a forest full of wild beasts right after birth, leaving him to survive in the forest and be surrounded by danger and death."

Soruman Bronzebeard's rich voice said in a low voice:

“The way to overcome fear is to face it.”

"Aunt Bronzebeard, don't you have parents too?" Evelin covered her mouth in surprise.

"Hmph...give me ten minutes."

Bronzebeard left quickly and came back quickly, smearing a strange gel on the palms of Annan and Evelin, grabbing their wrists, and forcibly sticking the two hands together.

Della's eyes, which were hidden in the shadows, suddenly became sharp, but the gaze that made Michael alert only made Bronzebeard scratch his back.

Evelin's cheeks visibly blushed, and Annan realized something:

"Is this glue?"

"What is that?" Bronzebeard released his palm, "The sap of the Demonic Tree. You will not be able to separate from each other anymore."

After saying that, she winked at Evelin, whose face was as red as burning coal.

"Soruman Bronzebeard!"

…

"You called an official mage from the Mage Tower here late at night just to break up the two of you?"

Michael looked at Annan and Evelin, who were holding hands, speechlessly, as well as the instigator who was holding his arms and watching the excitement.

Michael poured the herbal juice he brought on the hands of Annan and Evelin, and the two hands that had been glued together for several hours finally separated.

"We can't hold hands with Evelin and go to the Mage Tower to find you." Annan moved his wrist and extended his hand to Evelin, "Evelin, shall we try again?"

After he finished speaking, he suddenly looked around with some confusion.

Evelin's cheeks were slightly red, but she still put her hand up.

Annan gave a thumbs up to the female dwarf: "You are as reliable as Michael."

"I don't want to hear this kind of thing again." The female dwarf stared at Michael with warlike intent and said, "Do you have anything to do?"

"Not yet, what's wrong?"

Soruman Bronzebeard's reply was to produce a brand new deck of cards.

…

"Give me your hand..."

At the top of the mage tower, Jack cautiously reached out to Ruth who was standing outside the guardrail.

Ruth looked back at him, took a deep breath, slowly stretched out her hand and placed it in Jack's hand, then moved and turned around.

Jack stared at the young girl close at hand: "My name is Jack Green."

"Ruth Plante Crystal." Ruth's clear eyes were filled with Jack's reflection.

They maintained this action until the red ghost closed the recording magic stone.

Annan breathed a sigh of relief and helped Evelin, who had the Light Feather Technique, step back to the guardrail like she was holding a bunch of flowers.

"Red Ghost, is Olmedo here?"

Annan couldn't wait to continue shooting. After getting no answer, he had to take some night scenes of the Mage Tower first.

Just before 9 p.m., Olmedo showed up.

He walked to the terrace, looked at the night view of Breeze City, which looked like stars, and said with emotion: "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have the chance to see the scenery here..."

"I have a question, why isn't the 'fiancé' a bad person?"

"Why the bad guy?"

This production requires no dramatic conflict.

As Evelin came to the cool terrace, the red ghost activated the magic stone and continued shooting:

Evelin stepped on the ground, but fortunately Annan caught her and pulled her back from death. Her fiancé Olmedo, who was nearby, heard the exclamation and rushed over, just in time to see Evelyn lying disheveled on the terrace, with Annan standing next to her.

Olmedo's guards rushed over to subdue Annan, and Evelin explained that it was a misunderstanding. To express his gratitude, Olmedo invited Annan to a banquet with only nobles and mages.

The progress of "The Fall of the Mage Tower" has officially crossed a quarter, and the next step will be the important part:

Two banquet group plays.
