The next day was also the first day of October in the year 839 of the Nese calendar.
The first Daxialing Culture and Art Festival opened grandly. Xia Duo and Niya delivered a speech at the opening ceremony and welcomed guests from all over the world.
The Code Square was crowded with people, but under the overall arrangement of the territorial security office, everything was in order. With the overlapping of planes enabled to expand the space, the entire square was divided into only sixteen blocks, with the center left empty. A large space.
After Chateau's brief speech, the opening ceremony performance began in the central venue. The new art form that Chateau mentioned to Horn before was unveiled at the opening ceremony, and was the first to appear after Chateau's speech.
"Now please enjoy the Legend of Demon Shadow "Dungeon Treasure Hunt"!"
As the announcer's voice fell, the light and shadow in the center of the square changed, and a dark and obscure scene appeared in front of everyone. Just when everyone was confused, a low Nise language voice came from the illusion——
"A long time ago, there was a legend circulating in the Underdark. Legend has it that there was a castle full of gold and silver treasures deep in a mysterious black swamp, but the gold and silver treasures were not the most precious treasures in the castle.
"The most precious treasure is said to be a ring of command with special power. As long as you get it, even the most mediocre person can gain supreme wisdom and power and become the king of all things.
"Now a group of adventurers have finally found the map of the mysterious Blackpool after asking all kinds of questions. Now they are about to embark on a thrilling and legendary adventure!"
The illusion in the center of the square is obviously in a dark environment, but the excellent light and shadow effects are enough for all the viewers present to see clearly what the scene is like and what the protagonists of the team of adventurers look like.
"The Underdark!"
"Drow!"
"It's a dwarf!"
Some well-informed people could not help but exclaim that the drow were notorious in the past, and the Underdark was described as an extremely terrifying place.
As for dwarves, they are not that rare. Many people have seen them with their own eyes, but dwarves tend to play more positive roles in legends. But what do they see now?
The dwarves actually got together with the drow and went on adventures together?
Of course, this is also a doubt that only people who have a certain understanding of dwarves and drow will have. If you know too little, such as the people of Xia Duo, you will not have such doubts. Most of them are watching the fantasy with relish. develop.
And if you knew more about the dwarves and drow, you wouldn't have such a doubt, because the dwarves shown in the Shadow Legend are actually gray dwarves, one of the drow's allies in the Underdark.
Of course more often than not it was one of the slaves.
And now the gray dwarf in this Shadow Legend is even the captain of this adventure team, and the drow members have to listen to him!
However, the audience in Codex Square did not have much time to delve into these details, because the illusion soon developed into the first enemy the adventure team encountered.
It is a kind of camera monster unique to the Underdark. It is extremely sensitive to sound and will hunt down the source of any sound they find.
Under the introduction of the gray dwarf captain, not only his drow team members, but also the shadow audience in Codex Square also learned about the characteristics of this magical underground creature.
Then there is the normal cycle of destroying enemies, discovering them again, and destroying them again. During this cycle of monster killing and upgrading, the audience also has a certain understanding of the past of this adventure team.
It turns out that this adventure team is a rebel in the Underdark Region. The purpose of searching for the Ring of Dominance is not to rule the Underdark Region, but to end the disputes in the Underdark Region and create a better tomorrow.
In the process of searching for the Ring of Dominance, there were many conflicts within the team, but under the mediation of the gray dwarf captain, they were finally resolved perfectly and the relationship within the team was enhanced.
This story seems somewhat clichéd to Shado, but in today's Netheril, this story is really novel. Even experienced adventurers who have been adventuring all year round can learn some useful adventure experiences from it.
Even well-informed spellcasters, such as Horn and Lamani, have a strong sense of freshness in the scene of the Dark Territory shown by the demon shadow.
What this demonic shadow reveals cannot be learned from books or one or two trips to the Underdark. Even top spellcasters like Horn and Lamani read it with gusto.
Of course, this has nothing to do with Sha Duo’s plot setting!
This demonic shadow is not actually completely realistic, but is adapted by Shado based on the personal experience of the drow Brandon who was previously incarnated in the projection plane.
The content of the original version is very simple. Brandon follows an adventure team to find a treasure. The treasure is not a ring of domination, but a lost token of the drow family.
After finding the treasure, Brandon decisively killed the entire adventure team, and then went back to collect the reward alone.
Of course, in this movie, there won't be any dark plot to trap teammates. The main focus is a commercial film atmosphere.
Compared with the traditional illusion projection of Netheril, this new thing named [Shadow] by Shado puts more emphasis on the scene, perspective (lens), plot and even soundtrack.
However, Xia Duo was not a professional practitioner in the film industry before time travel. He just concocted this movie from the perspective of a long-time viewer, which in his own opinion was actually a bit rough. Of course, it is called Demon Shadow here.
There is still a big gap in technique and artistry between the films produced by professional directors on Earth, but as a brand new art form that is different from the past, it is fully worthy of a qualified evaluation!
Previously, Daxia leaders had begun to use magic images to record some class scenes, but most of them were simply recorded and played, and the recorded content was not deeply processed.
The scene is single, the perspective is fixed, and there is no plot!
There is no need for a protagonist. The real protagonist is the content of the class, not the teacher or the students. In the actual record, there is no consideration of whether the protagonist is the protagonist or not.
And now, Demonborn has finally shown the key to why it can become art.
Xia Duo believes that practitioners in the future will be able to produce even better magic shadow works.
…
The duration of the first Shadow Legend was set at about two hours according to Shado's custom. It ended with the adventure team finally finding the Ring of Control after going through hardships and obstacles. The team members collectively looked in the direction they came from, as if they wanted to do something big. The appearance of the field.
An introduction for subsequent sequels.
Of course, the sequel cannot be screened for free, and you still have to get your money back, because Xia Duo plans to leave the follow-up production to others.
If practitioners have no income and rely solely on subsidies to survive, then this career will not last long and this industry will not develop.
