But the knight reacted faster than expected. When he heard the movement, he turned around. He didn't have time to draw his sword, but directly blocked the young man's attack with the scabbard.
There was a look of grief and anger on the young man's face. As the knight calmly pulled out the sword, he suddenly started chanting and lit the knight's sleeves on fire.
The knight was about to shout loudly when a dagger came out from behind and suddenly cut his neck.
The cry was strangled in the throat.
Blood splattered all over the young man.
The blood was just a light effect, but the young man's body was also filled with traces of being sputtered. These traces were not light effects, but a special mechanism on the costume. Yin Lian asked the young man to make a small prop on his chest. It contained a small amount of paint and left a large number of holes. If it was moved slightly, the liquid could seep out and stain the costume.
This was actually a prop from the TV series, and it was not necessary to appear on the stage, but Yin Lian still got it out, and sure enough, it still attracted some people's whispers.
These are all topical.
Young people are the survivors of Hulucheng.
In fact, such a person did exist in history, but he did not meet the Black Sage in Hu Lucheng at that time. Just to make the plot smoother, Yin Lian changed some time stages and details of the event.
The Flame Tyrant is Kamomon's nickname. He is the only surviving member of the Hulucheng royal family, at least the only one who is recorded and influential in history. He has been dead for many years, and his philosophy is different from that of the Black Sage. You should know from his name that he was a character with a relatively cruel personality.
In fact, in the memory of the Black Sage, this deceased companion was not completely unreasonable, but he had a harsh attitude towards the church and ordinary people. On the contrary, he is a person who attaches great importance to young talents and is willing to protect young mage apprentices.
But towards those believers, and even those parents and relatives who abandoned gifted children, his attitude was quite harsh. This was hard to accept at the time or later. When Yin Lian asked questions related to him before, the Black Sage said this: "Even among the mages at that time, there were many different opinions. Some people wanted to live away from the crowd, and some hoped to occupy a land in an upright manner and establish a country belonging to the mages. , and some people are more ambitious and hope to exterminate the church and establish an era ruled by mages."
"Kamomon is the third party."
"His attitude towards the church and ordinary people was very harsh. At that time, many people within the magistrates were opposed or felt uncomfortable. Because I had a high reputation among the mages at that time, some people often wanted me to persuade him. But I didn't want to Therefore blame him...Although I will stop and even deal with some companions who are cruel or murderous, Kamomon is different. His cruelty is different from others."
Yin Lian chose Kamomeng as one of the main characters in the drama after careful consideration. The Black Sage has gone through countless big and small things in his life, met many people, and said goodbye to many people. Three hundred years of life, if you have to say it, is not very interesting, but rather boring and gloomy. For the Black Sage himself, even if he finally became the king of the Sage City, he still could not erase the darkness in his life. and boring.
His happiest days were actually the days after the little girl Yin Lian appeared.
Although girls themselves may not realize this.
But the life before that, even if it was thrilling and ups and downs, did not make people feel happy. This is a very real question. A wonderful life may not necessarily lead to happiness, and the word wonderful definitely has completely different feelings for the person involved and the bystanders.
The Black Sage's more than three hundred years of life is definitely full of thrilling ups and downs, and it is also extremely interesting as a TV series. But for me, it is not a happy story.
During this process, he experienced too much suffering, regret, sadness, and frustration. The scars of the past can be ignored, but it is difficult to truly disappear. Therefore, this story can make people watch wonderfully, but it cannot make people live wonderfully.
Yin Lian may not understand this, but perhaps because she does not understand, she can look at this period of history rationally, objectively and unscrupulously, and then carefully select the most exciting parts and help them put them on the stage.
With this idea in mind, Yin Lian selected the most representative characters in the story.
Kamomon is the result of her selection.
In fact, based on Kamomon's life experience, he is very suitable to be the protagonist of a story, but in the end he can only be used as a supporting role. The biggest reason is not because of his lack of ability, but because he died in the end.
Maybe one day, when drama becomes popular and when the deeds of many magicians are known, there will be no need for Yin Lian to take action. Others will put these wonderful and tragic historical stories on the stage and show their wonderful lives to the world. .
It's a pity that Kamomeng is still a young man who is sad and painful but has nowhere to vent.
He was born into a royal family, and although he was not one of the serious heirs to the throne, he had no worries about food and clothing since he was a child. Due to the consistent educational style and family atmosphere of the Hulu king's royal family, Kamomen's character naturally values the family, his relatives and his subjects. But under such circumstances, he lost everything he valued overnight - his parents, relatives, best friends, home, hometown, and country.
He lost everything he could lose. Although his reason and desire for survival told him to live, he couldn't help but lurk in the city, following the officers in the war, and then trying to assassinate them.
In reality, this assassination was actually completed by Kamomon alone. He successfully assassinated an officer in the Knights, but was also chased by other knights. However, due to the special nature of the magic he mastered, he In the end, he managed to trick Hulucheng out, and then barely survived after meeting another surviving citizen.
But later the knight still chased him, and the farmer who helped him was killed by the knight without hesitation. It was not until he met the Black Sage that he finally saved his life.
Although this process is also very tragic and has great telling value, it is a pity that this story is the biography of the Black Sage after all, not Kamomon's. Due to limited space, Yin Lian had to omit all unimportant processes that could be omitted.
Andasi took Kamomon to escape the search of the Knights and escaped from Hulu City. The two of them had nowhere to go. Although Kamomon still wanted to take revenge, he was persuaded by Andasi and decided to first find a companion who was also a mage, accumulate his own strength, and then wait for one day to completely surrender to the magician. The church takes revenge.
Travelers are super visible in this day and age for a variety of reasons. Fortunately, Kamomon himself is good at spiritual magic, and Andasi, because of his rich knowledge reserves and long wanderings, has figured out a special set of disguise techniques. One of them was born in a choir, and the other was a nobleman with good art education. They disguised themselves as bards and began to wander around, hoping to find a mage who could be their companion through this method.
This process is not easy.
The first "mage" they found was a child under the age of twelve.
Seeing that she was about to be burned at the stake, Kamomon could not resist his impulse and directly attacked the executioners. Although he finally saved the child, his identity was exposed.
The girl's name was Lilin. She had parents and a younger brother in the village, and they did not come to see her execution. They were scared but could not save her. The girl wanted to see her family but Kamomon turned her away.
The girl opened her mouth and sang:
【It’s not anyone’s fault/They are helpless/If I die so that the person I love can live/I will】
【absurd! 】
[Love sometimes has to make choices/But it will not be dimmed because of this/I don’t want to resent the choice/Resentment will only hurt each other]
【hypocritical! 】
[You don’t know my family/Please give them more understanding]
Kamomen issued a fierce rebuttal, singing: [I don’t know your family/But you don’t know my family/In the west of this town/There is a country that was destroyed because of the Holy City/We protect our own citizens/ Hug your beloved child tightly/The king was hung on the city wall/The mother was stabbed to death in the street/We protect our subjects/Hold every child tight/Until the last drop of blood is shed/But never give up]
Kamomen stretched out his hand and held the girl's shoulder: [If the king cannot protect his people/The kingdom should be overthrown/If parents cannot protect their children/They should have their evil roots cut off/Destiny is not a test paper/Just answer it correctly One more point/One point less if you make a mistake/Since they have made a choice/They should bear the consequences of their choice]
The girl said: "Why are you so fierce?"
The atmosphere turned awkward in a second. Kamomon was obviously helpless at the girl's crying face and was speechless for a moment. The tense atmosphere turned funny in an instant.
Andasi then said: "If you go back to see them, they will be doomed."
The girl asked: "Why?"
Andasi said: "As long as you live and meet them, you are harming them. Who would believe that someone who can meet the Master peacefully is not the Master's accomplice?"
The girl suddenly stood on the spot.
Andasi sang softly: [Perhaps you don’t understand/But that’s the fact/When magic dances at your fingertips/You are isolated from the world/From now on, parents, brothers, relatives, best friends/all become farewell/say goodbye to them Right / Goodbye can only be in the bottom of my heart / The bridge of words / I can no longer touch my heart / My deepest feelings / I can no longer tell anyone]
[This is a lonely road/You will eventually understand/But if you want to refuse such a fate/It is not impossible]
Then he stretched out his hand, waiting for the little girl to hold him, and said: [Hold my hand/From now on we are your brothers/End of the world/Connected by destiny/In this lonely world/Dependent on each other/Looking for our home]
"Are you willing, sister?"
Lilin looked at Andasi and couldn't recover for a long time. When she realized it, she had already held his hand.
The girl's eyes were red and she shouted: "Brother."
At this time, the first act ended, and a chorus appeared in the field.
[In a world without a future/A family without parents was born/From now on, we depend on each other in this world/We face the threat of death all the time]
[The unbreakable eternal night/The dawn ends again/The world where the gods refuse to care/The last trace of tenderness that lingers]
[The Sage in the Night/He is not a person/He is a piece of history/a past event]
[Everything will eventually die/Everything will be reborn/But before it ends/This story/is unique]
[Destiny sings and gives up/Magic never tries to persuade/The road ahead is vast/The light has not yet appeared]
【And he is in front/And he is in front】
In the middle of the chorus, a four-part singing voice suddenly sounded and began to sing:
[Ah/You are the king of mages/You are the beginning and ending of the story/You are the light that guides the way forward/You are the source and end of power]
[On the dark road/you are the light that guides the way forward/the silent wilderness/you are the sound that echoes through the sky]
【You are the beginning and the end/the embodiment of power】
[Lead us/We are lost travelers/Lost at the crossroads of destiny/Missed the light of the world]
[Take us out of here/noble people/we will follow you/to the ends of the earth or the corners of the sea/to the end of the sky/or the home of knowledge]
[Take us out of here/great man/we will chase you/to the sky or the deep sea/to the wilderness of faith/or the virgin land of life]
Many people who had watched the previous drama were suddenly shocked.
This part of the song is actually the ending of The Mage King. Only a few parts of the lyrics have been modified to make it more suitable for the situation at this time. At the end of "The Mage King", Yin Lian foretells the arrival of the "Black Sage", but at the end of the first chapter of "The Black Sage", Yin Lian in turn begins to echo "The Mage King". Although this method is simple , but it was very novel to the audience, and they were instantly brought out of their feelings for the previous work.
The mages were even more excited. While applauding desperately, they wanted to knock on the door of the Black Sage's private room.
...As a result, the Black Sage locked the door directly and added a sealing circle.
