Chapter 1020 Chapter 251. "Let the Magic Fly" Premiere

The Liberty City, divided into three factions, is approaching the new capital.

The southern direction is mainly led by Francois and the Hellfire Legion, while the eastern direction is led by Little Smo and Free Blade.

The Red Witch led the fleet to the west. She was the slowest in progress and led the fleet to bypass many towns and directly reach Woking Bay, about 600 miles away from the new capital. They began to distribute leaflets and prepare for landing.

In the macro-situation of the kingdom, the Blades of Freedom have already ignited sparks in various places surrounding the new capital, waiting for the firewood formed by the Free City to approach and turn them into raging flames.

Among them, "Let the Magic Fly", which has been circulated in the Kingdom of Rekanel for a long time, finally premiered.

To be honest, after the impact of the seven magical films in Annan's three years, the public has become somewhat aesthetically fatigued.

The main reason is that there are too many imitators, all of whom are well-known classics and legends, and the leading actor is not Annan, making it difficult for Magic Image to have as profound a discussion as it did at the beginning.

However, thanks to its reputation as "the best in Liberty City", the premiere of Let the Magic Fly still attracted many audiences.

After watching Let the Magic Fly, the audience was divided into two types.

The former did not reveal any metaphors, but I didn't expect that magic images could be shot in this way. The lines were sharp, the pace was fast, and there was a bit of black humor, which is difficult to achieve in remakes of famous works.

The other situation becomes interesting after some lines lead into the conflict between Free City and the Kingdom of Rekanel.

They watched it a second and third time in a short period of time, and discussed the deep meaning of each line, such as "When Alexander comes, peace comes!", "The city lord is tall, the master is hard, Alexander is tall and hard!", and "It's important to me without you."

With the publication of a long article in the Innocence City Post: The Deeper Story Behind the Surface Story of Let the Magic Fly, a new wave of movie-watching craze has been set off.

In the past, the nobles were the vane of the people, and whatever they did, the rich and the middle class would follow. Now, the vane has become the newspapers in each city. Since the newspapers are praising it, those who only watched it once but didn't understand it and those who have never seen it have followed the trend and flocked to the theater.

They also summed up a little trick: those who are too lazy to think can regard the city of Sion and Helrit as the Kingdom of Rekanel and the King, and Alexander as Annan, and they will understand what this magical image is expressing.

"Let the Magic Fly" became the last straw that broke the camel's back for the Kingdom of Rekanel. Even the children playing and fighting on the streets shouted "Kill Helrit, rob the castle!" The nobles and the rich were ashamed to have anything to do with the kingdom.

In addition, the kingdom could not be saved.

For example, in order to promote themselves, they began to falsify data, such as the economy of the Kingdom of Rekanel this month is 515 times that of Free City.

Anyone who can think a little bit knows how big Rekanel is. It is not fair to compare it with Free City. Moreover, it is 515 times... Does the kingdom have 515 cities the size of Free City?

Smart people scoffed, thinking that the data was full of water and that even removing one "5" would not dry it out.

The new issue of "Voice of Freedom" fights back, in the joke section of this issue:
Two nobles from the Kingdom of Rekanel were out for a stroll and came across a pile of feces that had been frozen hard in the cold wind. The two nobles made a bet that whoever could eat it would be rewarded with 10,000 gold coins. One of the nobles ran over to pick up the feces, butchered it, and ate it elegantly with a knife and fork, earning 10,000 gold coins.

They continued to wander forward and encountered another pile of feces. They made another bet, but this time another noble got the upper hand and broke it up with a dagger he carried with him and swallowed it, earning back the 10,000 gold coins he had just given. In this way, the two nobles brought 20,000 gold coins of wealth to the kingdom by eating feces.

While the Voice of Freedom took the lead in the sarcasm, the kingdom was also busy inside.

Busy making money, amassing wealth, and plundering wealth, putting all the money into their pockets before the building collapses.

The poor people had no more money, so they turned their attention to the kingdom. They kept asking the new king for resources under the pretext of attacking the "Free Blade". After taking all the resources, they told the messengers that they had completely wiped out the Free Blade.

The soldiers on the front line who were fighting the Free Blades shouted: "You have wiped out all the Free Blades, then who are fighting us!?"

"Free Blades are like rats. Once you kill one, another will pop up." said the rich people with greasy mouths.

The situation was tense on the front and rear, and with the Free Blade's propaganda offensive, a large number of kingdom soldiers surrendered, and then turned around and took the Free Blade to seek revenge on the nobles who oppressed them.

When a kingdom falls, it's never just the enemies' fault - internal problems contribute as well.

It's not that the Kingdom of Rekanel didn't have a chance. They could have sent out Legends to suppress the unrest. But because of cowardice, they missed the chance.

This can't be blamed on them. The Kingdom has Legends, and Liberty City has them too. If they send too few, they will be easily besieged by Liberty City. It would be fine if both sides were defeated, but I'm afraid that even the Legends would join the "Champion Succubus". If they send too many, the new capital will become empty. The one they assassinated before was only the Holy Grail Knight's entourage, but the next time it might be the Holy Grail Knight.

Therefore, the nobles and the knights could only hide in the vicinity of the new capital, shrink their heads and pretend that what was happening outside did not exist.

An endless stream of bad news was sent to the palace. Clo lost his temper again and resumed his laziness in the strange green light. Even so, he was fed up with that bunch of rubbish. Among them, the capable Master Olme stood out.

However, because he captured many nobles and made too many enemies, the nobles constantly slandered and criticized Master Olme.

They found faults with him, for example, that Master Olme never attended parties and was either at work or on his way to work, and that after confiscating the nobles' property, the money would be sent to the palace and the nobles would report it jointly, suspecting that Master Olme was the Free Blade.

Their words made Clo laugh in anger: "Can't my officials be loyal and honest?"

The more the nobles opposed, the more Clo supported it. Before Annan had found a hundred nobles to join the Free Blade, he became the deputy head of the Purification Court - there was no such position originally, it was created by the royal family for him.

Annan was not a petty person, so he temporarily put aside these nobles who were causing trouble for him - mainly because he had been annoyed for a long time with the "Glory of Rikanel" who always talked nonsense.

On this day, the Vice President of the Purification Court, Orme Shao, came to the newspaper office of "Rekanel Glory" with a group of high-spirited men.

"I am under the king's order to investigate the collusion between Glory of Rekanel and Freeblade."
