After the play ended, there was a lot of discussion in the theater. A nobleman sent a servant to the backstage to ask what the ending meant. The actors and servants followed Yin Lian's instructions and told them that this was a preview of the next drama "The Black Sage".
It was a musical that had the momentum of a series of movies.
Fortunately, no one in the audience could see through Yin Lian's trick, and instead were very surprised by the news.
"Is there another part of "The Wizard King"?"
"Not the next installment of The Wizard King, but a follow-up drama that tells the story of the Black Seer."
Yin Lian's behavior is equivalent to betraying the boss. In this era, no one condemns her at all. Instead, they admire it very much. After all, everyone who has watched this drama will not feel that "The Wizard King" is harmful to the Wizard King himself. Will there be any bad influence? Naturally, I feel that "Black Sage" must also be a tribute to the Black Sage himself.
The Black Sage knew that he had read the script introduction and part of the script of the Mage King before, but the text was naturally far less shocking than the performance. He did authorize Yin Lian to use his life as material, but the imagination at that time was completely different from the current situation.
The Black Sage is a relatively realistic person, and he felt a strong sense of unreality from Yin Lian's "adaptation". Although this cannot be said to be a bad thing in terms of effect, the Black Sage cannot tolerate Yin Lian's wanton adaptation of his own experience - although it may indeed be an exaggerated praise, but overly exaggerated praise, without knowing the truth It will only sound sarcastic to you.
So after that, the Black Sage said to Yin Lian: "Show me another script."
Yin Lian said: "I think it's better not to watch it. There will be a lack of surprises."
The Black Sage said: "...I'm afraid I'm frightened."
Yin Lian said: "Teacher, don't say that. You have to know that I respect you very much. Even if I mess with the Mage King, I won't mess with you."
Although this sentence didn't sound bad, the Black Sage still felt that there was something strange about it.
Unfortunately, judging from the development of Martier's common language and the Black Sage's almost non-existent access to earth's popular culture, it is difficult for him to understand the pun and bad taste in this sentence.
So he just thought about it for a moment, then let go of the topic and continued to ask Yin Lian to hand over the script.
Yin Lian did not continue to refuse - it was not something shameful anyway.
The Black Sage spent one night reading the script and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. In fact, just like what Yin Lian said, her script is absolutely not ambiguous or made up.
But it is not purely about the life of the Black Sage. Yes, it does follow the life path of the Black Sage, and the main plot does not deviate from it, but it also deepens his life, making all actions that seemed ordinary and lack of thought at the time...become extraordinary.
When the Black Sage left home at the age of thirteen, he had no choice. When he revealed his magical talent, it was the time when the Holy City Church was the most powerful and its attitude towards magicians was the most cruel. Yin Lian went back more than three hundred years, and then wrote a plot with ups and downs in the plot that he described in just a few sentences.
That year, there was actually a war during his escape journey. The Holy City Army massacred an entire small country because they sheltered a descendant of the royal family who was a mage. In fact, in that small country, not only the royal family, but also the people were secretly hiding and sheltering children with magical talents.
But they ultimately failed to withstand the intimidation and attacks of the Holy City.
In order to intimidate, they stripped five members of the royal family with magical talents, the oldest of whom was twenty-five years old, and the youngest was only seven years old, and pierced their hearts with holy nails, and then hung them upside down on the city gate.
They were also a noble royal family, well-dressed and well-fed, respected by everyone, and usually had supreme power. But as long as the Holy City is willing, their fate will be like a straw and they will not be protected at all.
When the Black Sage learned the news, he was undoubtedly filled with deep fear. He may not have just known how the Holy City dealt with mages, but it was the first time he felt so deeply what kind of torture he would suffer if caught by the Holy City.
Yin Lian obviously doesn't know anything, but her script has a cruel, weird atmosphere that breaks away from the form and goes straight to the heart. There are only lyrics in the script, but the Black Sage can almost imagine the dark colors that singing these songs will bring.
[Those who cast spells with their hands/cut off those hands/those who chanted spells with their mouths/let their mouths burn]
[Protecting evil people/cut off their heads/cut off their limbs/will be completely destroyed in the fire]
[Those who commit evil/take off human skin/pierce the heart/should be dried under the sun for their sins]
But under the cruel teachings of the Holy City, there is the whisper of the little girl's ghost.
【Mom/Mom/Where are you/But I disobedient/So you left】
[I hid myself well/It’s just that the candle was too bright/It illuminated me and I had nowhere to hide/Mom/I had nowhere to hide]
【The night makes me feel at ease/but the day scares me】
[A world in which day and night are reversed/Light and darkness perform completely different tasks]
【I only have a beam of darkness to protect me/Light is everywhere】
…
The lyrics here puzzled the Black Sage. After all, literature was definitely not Master Mathil’s strong point. The entire continent lacked this knowledge. However, he was very spiritual, so he quickly realized vaguely what the light was and what the darkness was.
During the time of the Mage King, the slogan shouted by the mages was still "break the darkness and find the light", because at that time darkness was darkness and light was light. But by the time when the Black Sage was born, the Holy City had eroded the entire continent. If they once represented justice, then they had become a symbol of power by then.
Power is not necessarily dark, but power without any constraints or enemies must be the easiest to breed darkness.
In fact, at that time, the forces in the Holy City, dominated by the Church of Light, were indeed arrogant, arrogant, and cruel to the peak. If this were not the case, there would be no chance for the Mage Association to rise. Although there is a huge gap between people with power and people without power in Matir, in fact, people with power are ultimately born from the people.
As the church government further intimidated and oppressed mages, countless civilians were affected, and many of them falsely accused others of being mages in order to appropriate property, coerce women, and murder enemies.
This has nothing to do with religion, this is a matter of power. When religion reaches out to power, corruption and depravity are almost inevitable evolution paths. But in fact, the natural characteristics of religion make it easier to step into the abyss if you don't pay attention. What's even more frightening is that the religions of this world can really use the power of God.
In fact, there has not been a large-scale miracle on the mainland for many years. It's ridiculous to say that the only truly credible miracle on the mainland that has been witnessed by countless people comes from Yin Lian, the false messenger, and from the paganism claimed by the Holy City of Life Church.
This even made Yin Lian wonder whether the so-called gods really existed all these years ago, or were just like her, an overly exaggerated legend and vague agents. For now, she is actually very close to the core of the so-called "god". She always feels that the consciousness she has received is not a specific human consciousness, but more like a combination of various consciousnesses.
But whether it is a symbol of natural will or the embodiment of countless beliefs, Yin Lian himself is not very sure. It is obviously worthy of study.
For now, Yin Lian only knows one thing - there is no divine consciousness behind the various Holy City churches that is powerful enough to fight against the Magic Association. What does this show?
This shows that Yin Lian can arrange the Holy City at will without any power beyond the display level to launch an attack specifically for her.
Because of this, she began to happily carry out her promotional activities in a world without publicity, cultural management, or political interference. In the creation of the script "Black Sage", Yin Lian interfered more than in "The Wizard King". If The Wizard King is a fantasy literary creation, The Black Sage is more like a realistic biographical adaptation. Although there are still dramatic plot renderings and added details, in essence, it is more realistic and convincing.
These are two completely different styles of scripts.
If the former script is stunning, the latter one is thought-provoking.
After the Black Sage read it, he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. He had a lot to say in his mind, and he had a strong urge to discuss the script, the story, and convey his emotions and excitement to Yin Lian, but... the entire city of sages couldn't sense the little girl's aura at all - her Apparently ran away again.
The Black Sage choked on his chest and couldn't spit it out. I want to share and discuss with others, but I don’t want to find other people to make do with the discussion. I feel that the thinking level and understanding ability of the mage under me are very different from my own, and they will definitely not be able to resonate with my emotions at this time... So I almost choked out. Sickness comes.
At this time, Yin Lian had returned to China, picked up the textbook that he had not read for several months, spent half an hour finishing the day's homework, and was riding to the theater.
Although Martial's performance level is relatively limited, the special effects created by magic props surpass modern society to a certain extent. The drama of "The Wizard King" has reached the extreme in copying, and the troupe is already one of the leading ones in the country, but to be fair, there is still a big gap between it and the international top.
Yin Lian has also watched many internationally renowned musicals. She has no language barrier, so she can understand one thing, that is, truly shocking musicals often coexist with technology and heritage. In this regard, domestic scripts obviously lack the same thickness. If it can't be done, it's hard to say.
Yin Lian's script is about the history of magicians on the surface, but in this era it is about freedom of belief and human rights. Because it is limited by the objective development of Mathier's history, these two points are not discussed very deeply, but at the same time, some political minefields are avoided. The ending is different from Mathil's version, because people on earth can't get the plot of the Battle of the Canyon and the Black Sage, so the ending of Yin Lian is that the most vulnerable and least determined disciple under the Mage King is taught the church. The deception and temptation led to the mages being ambushed. Then his classmates died heroically one by one, which shocked his spirit greatly. In the end, he sacrificed himself and won the war.
In the end he was listed as a hero, no doubt with some irony. The Mage King and Salmati finally drifted away. Before his death, the Mage King already knew the truth from his head. He heard the student's confession before his death, but chose to forgive him, saying: "We all carry our sins." But he left some aftertaste in the story.
Although such a story is historical, people on earth may not know it. Even though it is social, it is too superficial. Perhaps its most commendable feature is its literary quality, but Yin Lian wanted to add a layer of leverage to it.
She brought the modified photo crystal with her and planned to give the world a little shock on this stage.
