But fortunately, after seeing Lich Na on the side who was confused about the setting, but still focused on it, Du Lin relaxed a little and realized that as long as it is a good story, no matter whether it is a group drama or not, the protagonist is No matter what identity you have, you can attract the audience in the end.

"Where's the back?"

Unknowingly, when the "fate zero" that had just been shot at the beginning was played, the lich next to Du Lin suddenly made a sound of dissatisfaction. At this moment, the soul fire in his body rose rapidly, and at the same time, his consciousness Du Lin, who realized that the other party might have become a terrible reminder, also quickly said: "Well, this is what I meant when I said unfinished before. Although I had already planned the story, due to various shooting troubles , so it will take some time to really complete it.”

"I see....."

Only then did he recall what Du Lin had said before, and realized that he had just been completely immersed in the movie without even knowing it. The lich, who had almost forgotten who he was, felt quite subtle at the same time. He couldn't help but said anxiously: "You said the filming can be completed in one or two months? Can't it be faster?"

Yes, if the Lich thought that a month or two was not a big deal before, now for him, not seeing the follow-up to "Fate Zero" for a month or two is simply more uncomfortable than killing it! !

To sum it up in one simple sentence, it is - without fate, I will die!

Chapter 88 Come to work in my company!

Chapter 88

"Did you just say, 'Can't it be faster?'"

Regarding the speech of a certain lich, Du Lin smiled as if he had expected it and said: "Actually, I have an opportunity here to speed up the production process, but I just need a little help from you."

"..."

Unexpectedly, the human in front of him was waiting for him here. After realizing something, the lich slowly sat back in his seat. The soul fire in the center of the skull's eyes glanced at the image crystal on the table from time to time, while trying to stay calm. The earth spoke: "Tell me, human, what do you want from me?"

Obviously, the lich thought that Du Lin's words at this moment were intended to negotiate terms with it, trying to use a novel thing like movies in exchange for something of its own, which could be power or immortality. The secret, or rather the innate lich itself...

But it doesn't matter to it. After all, even if Du Lin and the others didn't come, the lich would have been so bored that he self-destructed and fell into a long sleep. Now that he has finally seen something that can cheer him up, it naturally It was also difficult to stay calm.

In fact, from the moment after watching the beginning of "Fate Zero", it had been able to keep calm. When it thought about watching the follow-up story of "Fate Zero", which it really couldn't do without Du Lin, it suddenly There was not even a hint of negotiation left.

In this regard, Dulin, who was aware of the lich's thoughts, just considered his words and then slowly said: "What I need is very simple, that is, I hope you can come and work at our Edward Studio. "

"????"

In response to a certain lich's confusion, Dulin quickly explained to it a lot of things about Edward Studios and work. To sum it up in one sentence - come to work in our company, food and accommodation are included, five days a week. Insurance and benefits, wages and benefits will definitely satisfy you!

That's right, because he would unconsciously start telling jokes when he got a little nervous, Du Lin started talking nonsense at this moment. When he finally stopped the car, the lich in front of him had already been fooled by him. I can't find the north anymore.

"Ahem, in short, to put it simply, I hope you can use your power to help us create the best movie special effects! During this period, I will not restrict your personal freedom, nor will I borrow your power Is it okay to do something that has nothing to do with movies?”

Although he said this, Dulin still felt a little guilty. After all, he was currently negotiating a contract with a being that was more terrifying than the Headless Horseman. The other party might kill him if he was in a bad mood. He really didn't However, despite knowing that he was in such a dangerous situation, Dulin still stated such conditions, which shows how much he longed for the help of this lich.

"Movie? Special effects?"

Finally, the key words were found in Du Lin's convoluted words. While the lich slowly raised its terrifying head, it also replied: "You mean you want me to help you do what you just did?" Movie?"

"Yes, I have actually been thinking about this issue before. After all, the script of "Fatezero" has very high requirements for special effects. The previous two films were able to complete most of the arrangements with my ability as a great magician. , but this one is really a bit difficult to do, and with your help, I think our production process will definitely be improved by a breakthrough, and it may be possible for the subsequent plot to be completed in a month. ! In this case, "fate" The second and third parts of the movie "Zero" can be put on the filming schedule directly!"

Originally, Du Lin was most troubled by the special effects. Unlike the other two films, the filming of "Fate Zero" was simply torture for the special effects artist. At least Du Lin did not think that he could complete all the special effects in the movie by himself. When it comes to special effects, isn't a super-level lich the best choice?

"Wait, you just said the second and third parts of "Fate Zero"? Is this movie more than one part?"

"Yes, what I just showed you is just the beginning of the first part. In my plan, this "Fate Zero" is a long-term big production."

"......"

After hearing Durin's words, a certain lich realized that his road to chasing the update was long and he almost wanted to die. He also said helplessly: "Okay, although I can provide you with some help for the movie, I declare in advance that I am an undead. Even if you, a freak, are willing to talk to me, I don't believe that other humans can accept me."

Yes, this is the reason why the lich is really willing to communicate with Durin, only because Durin did not show fear when he first saw the lich, but talked to him in an equal manner. Otherwise, if it were someone else, he would probably be drained of his soul and used as a sacrifice by the other party at the first time.

In the final analysis, this is because the undead have been made into an evil existence like demons under the propaganda of the church over the years. If an undead wants to integrate into human society, he must either hide everywhere like Beldia in the past, or hide his identity like Saeki in the past...

"I understand, and I also know the attitude of humans towards the undead, but you can rest assured. After all, even Beldia has opened a tavern in our place, which is very popular. Even a skeleton with a scary appearance like you will be able to integrate into it in a short time. Of course, the premise is that you don't use your power at will, let alone hurt humans at will. If that happens, I think you will lose the right to watch movies directly, even if you kill me. After all, it is common sense in the magic world that soul manipulation spells are invalid for existences above the great magician."

As he said, Du Lin showed a pure smile, which was both his bluffing and his statement of facts.

In response, the lich who also laughed just silently opened his bony hand. On it was a bone box that no lich could ignore, which could be said to be equivalent to the life of the lich.

"Take it."

Dulin was stunned by the other party's attitude of not taking his life seriously. He first glanced at the life box burning with soul flames in his hand, and then looked at the lich in front of him. He couldn't imagine that the other party handed his life to him just to watch a movie.

In response, the lich's skeletal face seemed to be smiling and said, "Didn't you say that I must control myself if I want to watch a movie? To be honest, after becoming an undead, I am least good at controlling myself. Beldia over there should be very clear about this, so this is also a guarantee to prevent myself from not being able to control myself."

"Well, in this case, wouldn't a soul agreement be better?"

"Have you forgotten that I can't read?!"

"Oh, really, so how did you become a lich? Leticia?"

After realizing it, he read out the name that came out of the soul fire in the life box. Du Lin, who was stunned, stared blankly at the feminine name, and then looked at the figure in front of him who was only a skeleton, and his expression became stiff.

In response, upon hearing this old yet familiar name, the lich's soul fire only flared up in his eyes, and then he suddenly replied irritably: "You ask me, who should I ask?!"

Chapter 89 Spoiler

Chapter 89

The Einzbern Castle, sealed by ice, is a place where ancient magicians secretly preserve their lifeblood, located in the deserted mountains.

On this day, the castle and the forest around it were liberated from the wind and snow for the first time in a long time.

On such days, no matter how busy and tired the father was, Illyasviel and the guard Kiritsugu would go for a walk in the forest outside the city. That was one of the unwritten agreements of the newly born family of Einzbern in the past few years.

At the same time, the summoned Knight Heroic Spirit was having a friendly conversation with Irisviel, the apparent master, in the castle. Although the conversation would not be heard from such a distance, Kiritsugu could also know how the young-looking Knight King was mocking him in a bad tone.

After all, an upright knight and a despicable assassin like Emiya Kiritsugu can never be compatible, which is one of the reasons why Kiritsugu is unwilling to participate in the conversation over there.

Time in the Snow Country always seems to pass quickly. The winter buds in search of walnuts ended with Illyasviel's victory. After the game, the two of them walked leisurely on the way back, just like an ordinary father and daughter.

"Next time, we have to wait until Kiritsugu returns from Japan."

The daughter holding Kiritsugu's hand looked up at her father with a smile on her face, and Kiritsugu tried to pretend to be calm and looked at the face that could not be looked at directly, and replied: "Yes... Next time, Dad will definitely not lose."

"Hehe, if you don't work hard, the gap will be 100, you know?"

Illyasviel's smug smile was too cruel and heavy for a man who had been carrying too many things. After all, he knew deeply that the outcome of this war would be disastrous.

However, if he survived the next war by chance...

Kiritsugu did not underestimate the death battle that awaited him, but he also knew that he must win. Although he had made plans in advance to exchange his life for victory, what if, what if he survived after winning...

However, there is no if after all. In order to save everything, he must abandon everything in advance.

It has always been like this. Once Kiritsugu Emiya falls in love with someone, he will be cursed to have to bear the awareness of losing that love in his heart. That is the fate he bears that is equivalent to his ideal.

"How long will Kiritsugu and Mom's work take? When will they come back?"

Suddenly, the daughter beside him asked in a cheerful voice, unaware of her father's distress.

"Dad, he will be back in about two weeks. ——Mom, it may take a long time..."

"Well, Illya also heard from mom, saying that it was a permanent separation or something."

The daughter's answer without any gloom made Kiritsugu feel a certain pressure. While his body was almost losing strength, Illya continued: "Mom told Illya before going to bed last night that even if I never see Illya again, I will always stay with Illya, so Illya will not feel lonely, so Illya will always be with mom in the future."

"...Is that so..."

Hearing his daughter's words, every cell in his body was shouting for Kiritsugu to hug the girl next to him, but Kiritsugu also knew clearly how much red blood was stained on his hands.

Should he use these filthy arms that have killed so many people that he can't remember how many people he has killed, like an ordinary father, to hug his child?

However, this child will never be hugged by his mother again. If even Kiritsugu, as a father, gives up that responsibility...who will hug Illya in the future?

At this moment, even Kiritsugu, who had always considered everything with reason, could not help but stop and gently called his daughter beside him:

"——Hey, Illya."

Suddenly, Kiritsugu squatted down and hugged his daughter from behind. This was the first time he really hugged his daughter in eight years.

"... Kiritsugu?"

"Can Illya wait? Until dad comes back, can you endure the loneliness?"

"Yes! Illya will endure it, and will wait for Kiritsugu with her mother."

That cheerful and bright voice had nothing to do with lamentation. The girl named Illyasviel planned to end this day of memories in joy until the end!

"... Then. Dad also promised you that he would not let Illya wait for a long time. Dad will definitely come back soon."

At the moment when the promise that was destined to be impossible was made, this incompetent father tightened his whole body, endured the thorns called love, and hugged his child tightly.

.......

"Did Kiritsugu Emiya... survive the war?"

From a distance, watching the scene being filmed, the lich Leticia couldn't help but ask, and similarly, the actresses who played Irisviel and Saber, Leah, also looked over, showing their curiosity about the question.

In response, Durin, who was still adjusting the lens to ensure that there would be no problems with the picture, silently replied: "Survived."

"Huh..."

In an instant, the three (?) women showed relaxed expressions and looked at the father and daughter who were about to part with expectant expressions, imagining how warm and cozy the scene would be when they reunited, but...

"But Kiritsugu Emiya never came back."

After the voice fell, Durin, who had originally wiped the snow off the lens, suddenly felt a strong malice. He turned around and saw that most of the staff who knew the script, including a certain lich, looked at him with incredible expressions. Even Beldia asked in surprise: "But didn't you say that Kiritsugu Emiya survived, Director Durin?"

"Yes, but I just said that he survived, not that he won!"

"..."

All of a sudden, everyone present realized the situation. Leticia, who had just raised the question, wanted to slap herself at this moment, regretting that she had made such a boring spoiler, so that it was now about "Fate" Zero" is getting more and more anticipated, and it's almost to the point where I can't live without watching Fate!

On the other hand, with the completion of the last scene in the Einzbern Castle, Du Lin suddenly realized that he seemed to be so focused on filming that he forgot to reconnect to the live broadcast from the capital! ! I guess those guys have already regarded me as a dead person now! ! !

Chapter 90: Filming of 'Fuyuki City' begins

Chapter 90

Lich is a special existence whose body dies naturally, but whose soul successfully remains immortal through internal factors or external forces.

Under normal circumstances, lichs are not born naturally. The most common situation is that a powerful magician is unwilling to accept that his soul will die with his body, so he chooses to let his soul break away from the shackles of the body. After experiencing After transforming into a special undead, he became a lich.

Of course, since human society is generally unwilling to accept the existence of the undead, these mages will basically hide in some remote place after becoming lich, otherwise they will most likely be punished by the Crusaders or the Knights of the Kingdom. .

It is quite rare for Wiz to become a lich due to special magic experiments, and even the soul and body are still tied together. Dulin is not sure whether that guy is a lich now. After all, the Lich's biggest characteristic, that the body would decay due to the separation of the soul, was not reflected in the opponent at all.

In contrast, although Laetitia seemed to be a lich in the normal sense, after contact, Dulin realized that this guy was also very abnormal. The most intuitive manifestation was that the opponent should obviously have a powerful soul energy. It is an unimaginably terrifying individual that is not comparable to the great sage, but he cannot even recognize his name. It is really hard to believe that such a being can actually become a lich.

In fact, the other party was indeed a lich, and it was an abnormally powerful lich... In the end, Du Lin concluded that there were only two possibilities.

One is that the other party is deceiving himself. This lich was actually a magician who surpassed the great sage in the true sense during his lifetime, but this possibility is quite low. After all, judging from the other party's various performances, Du Lin really finds it hard to believe it. The lich will deceive himself about this, and this deception will not bring about any meaningful change.

The second is that what the other party said is true. This also means that the other party was not a magician before becoming a lich, or that the other party is engaged in some kind of profession that does not require literacy, but can also temper the soul, but this also means that the other party It is not a lich catalyzed by external forces, but an innate lich born naturally after encountering a death that is unbearable for ordinary people.

The descriptions of the innate lich came to mind. While Dulin was vaguely aware of a certain possibility, he also quickly stopped thinking about it. After all, the other party's life box was in his own hands, and he didn't. You need to worry about the lich's betrayal or something, and exploring the other person's privacy without their permission is also quite disgraceful to Dulin.

As for Laetitia's identity as a lich, Du Lin ultimately did not tell the truth to the people in the troupe. This was not because he could not trust them, but because it was really difficult for ordinary people to accept the existence of the undead.

So in the end, he chose a compromise, which was to tell everyone that he was an actor in a special disguise like the Headless Horseman.

Under this situation, most humans who cannot sense the breath of the undead would not be very surprised even if they accidentally see the bones exposed under the brim of Leticia's hat. After all, it really means Get up, the headless horseman next door running around with his own head is more eye-catching.

After solving this matter and filming all the plots related to Einzbern Castle, Dulin could finally breathe a little easier, and realized belatedly that he had forgotten to control the situation before. What happened after the live broadcast.

.......

In the imperial capital, at a banquet held by the royal family.

About half a day has passed since Dulin Edward stopped the live broadcast. Since the banquet was originally planned to be held until late at night, no one left the banquet at this time. However, after what happened just now, most of them People were no longer in the mood for a party, and were whispering in private about what had just happened.

Next to the old King Hubbard, General Wilhelm had already changed into a formal suit. Since then, the two of them had communicated more than once about whether to send troops to the Chaos Realm, but because everything happened too suddenly, Because of this, even if they urgently call now, it is estimated that it will take two to three days. By then, if Du Lin has been killed, they may not even be able to collect the body.

"Is there any news from the Mage Tower?"

Hearing the anxious words of the old king, Scar, who had just returned from the Mage Tower, wiped the sweat on his head and quickly replied: "The dean has mobilized most of the magicians in the Mage Tower to find someone, but due to the chaos in the Chaos Realm, Because the magic field nearby is too chaotic, it is difficult for ordinary person-finding magic to accurately locate people. Now we can only wait for news..."

Obviously, the news that Du Lin was suspected of having an accident almost alarmed the entire Mage Tower. Of course, the reason was not because Du Lin was the youngest great magician or anything. After all, there are no apprentices in the magic world in this world. System, most mages will not fight for it just because they see a junior with talent. The main reason why these great magician-level beings go crazy is that the technology of magic video recorders and imaging crystals is still in Dulin's hands. Here!

These guys just paid the patent fee to a certain dean a few days ago, but today the person who invented the patent is gone. This does not make these guys angry. A few grumpy ones even plan to go directly to the realm of chaos. .

Hearing the news that the Mage Tower had been dispatched, the old king was slightly relieved and planned to continue chatting with General Wilhelm about Baron Durin Edward. During this process, the entire venue maintained a high level of attention. The only missing person was a certain bishop of the church who had left at some point.

Suddenly, with Scar's surprised expression, everyone, including the old king, looked at him at the first time.

In response, Scar slowly took out the alchemical prop that had reacted and opened it at the first time. Then, Durin's big smiling face suddenly appeared in the eyes of everyone present.

.......

Back in Northrick, after Durin introduced the corporate culture of Edward Studios to a certain lich who had just arrived, he worked overtime again to start preparing for the movie. Not only did he call all the actors who had been prepared before, but he also asked Chase to gather the troupe members who were still preparing, and almost planned to rush to the next shooting location as soon as he returned.
