The Black Sage didn't care about the commotion outside. After seeing this, he just remained silent for a moment, and then said: "I think your design here is not very good... I am not the incarnation of the Mage King."
Yin Lian replied directly: "Of course...the teacher is just the teacher and has nothing to do with the Mage King."
The Black Sage said: "Then you still make such hints?"
Yin Lian was stunned for a moment before asking, "What's the hint?"
The Black Sage said: "You are using the lyrics to connect me with the Mage King, seeming to imply that I am some kind of incarnation of him...or as the Church of Life puts it, reincarnation."
Yin Lian was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I didn't mean that."
The Black Sage looked sideways at her, half-smiling, as if he didn't quite believe her answer.
Yin Lian felt that she was innocent. In fact, she really didn't mean to lead the audience in this direction on purpose. This was actually a misunderstanding. This is also due to Mathier's lack of understanding of literary expression techniques, which leads to misunderstandings like this.
Yin Lian said: "For teachers, what do you think this plot is expressing? I mean, apart from the content of who it represents, the drama and the lyrics themselves."
The Black Sage thought for a while and said: "I can't quite explain it, but you probably want to say that magic is the power of mortals to control themselves and fight against the Holy City and the Church, while I or the Mage King, Someone who spiritually leads everyone to accomplish this.”
Yin Lian said: "That's roughly what it means. To be precise, what I want to express is the spirit that you, teacher, and the Mage King share."
"What spirit?"
"Control your destiny, control yourself, and never give up on the injustice and cruelty in the world."
The Black Sage said: "...Although I won't deny it, why does your tone feel a bit weird?"
Yin Lian noticed it herself, and then quickly realized what was going on - probably because when she was in China, she shouted similar slogans too much, so when she spoke normally, she still used some slogans. smell.
In fact, she was not shouting slogans. What she said before was also said sincerely.
She paused and said, "It's a matter of habit. Teacher, you'd better not worry about such details."
The Black Sage always felt that there was something wrong with her attitude, but Yin Lian was often eccentric in daily life. Facts have proved that most of the eccentricities have no practical significance at all in the end. It may really be just the environment in which she grew up. There is a difference, so the Black Sage did not continue to pursue it.
He just said: "No matter what, your script does bring hints that I am the incarnation of the Mage King. I don't think this is very good."
Yin Lian thought for a while and said, "Teacher, you said it wrong."
The Black Sage raised his eyebrows and looked at him.
Yin Lian said boldly: "Even if there is such a hint, it does not mean that you are the reincarnation of the Mage King, but that the Mage King is your previous life. This primary and secondary relationship must be clarified."
Black Sage: "What's the difference?"
Yin Lian replied: "The difference is very big. The most important thing is of course the question of who is the main body. I think even if you are connected, it is you, the teacher, who is the main body, and the Mage King is just an incidental... because you, the teacher, are more important than The Mage King is much more powerful.”
The Black Sage said: "There is no benefit in flattering me like this. You don't know how to blush when you say such things."
Although he said this, he did not mean to be unhappy in any way. Instead, he curled his eyes and did not hide his enjoyment.
Yin Lian said sternly: "It's not flattery." Then she paused and said, "Although it's rude to say this, in fact, we all know that most of the story of "The Mage King" is fictional. The real mage in the story King, it’s actually you, teacher. In "Mage King", I express your beliefs and thoughts that belong to you, teacher, and refer to your image, teacher. This is not deliberate flattery."
"The Mage King in history did not have such great sentiments as in the drama. After all, he was just an ordinary egoist... and the character played in "The Mage King" was never the real historical figure."
The Black Sage showed a bit of surprise and said, "So you know it so well?"
For those new to drama, it’s easy to confuse story with reality. When the Black Sage watched the two dramas, he felt that Yin Lian had truly invested his emotions into the story of the whole drama. If he didn't really think so and had feelings, it would be difficult for the Black Sage to imagine Yin Lian can create such a plot.
But in fact, the two scripts were not actually created by Yin Lian, and she is a person who is used to watching TV. She can easily distinguish which ones are due to the scripts and which ones are the actors' abilities. She has already been able to treat these objectively works.
This is an experience that the Black Sage cannot imagine.
This sense of dissonance and separation actually often appears between master and disciple, which often prevents the Black Sage from feeling true compassion.
He looked at the other person, and had many thoughts about this student who was detached from this moment and everyone, and finally chose to admit this fact.
No matter what, whether it is a divine envoy or something else, even if Yin Lian is a god himself, or some monster that is very different from humans, she is already here. Even her illusory character and way of living are part of her reality.
Therefore, the Black Sage chose to acknowledge her.
No matter how far her own thoughts and ideas were from his perception of reality.
Yin Lian didn't know about his complicated psychological changes, but he didn't think too much about it. He just said: "To tell a story well, sometimes you have to get involved and deeply feel everything the characters can feel, and sometimes you have to withdraw. Detach yourself from the world of the story, examine its changes, and objectively examine its true appearance. So I must have clearly grasped the truth of the entire story, otherwise what would the teacher think?"
"The prototype of "The Mage King" is a teacher, and the prototype of "Black Sage" is also a teacher. It's just that they embody different aspects of you, teacher. Otherwise, I have never seen the legendary Mage King, and there are so few written records. How could I possibly portray him vividly with just a few words?"
After hearing this, the Black Sage suddenly lowered his head and supported his forehead with one hand, letting his long hair cover his face and all possible expressions.
However, Yin Lian immediately realized the true meaning behind his action, so he came closer, leaned down, and approached the Black Sage, and said, "Teacher, are you shy?"
The Black Sage said: "It is better to say that you are really admirable for saying these words but not being ashamed at all."
Yin Lian said: "Isn't what I said the truth?"
The Black Sage said: "How could it be true?"
Yin Lian said: "Teacher, you are able to face betrayal without resentment, without digging into the horns of others, without being discouraged when faced with a desperate situation, without giving up hope, without bullying or contempt when facing the weak, but because of my sincere praise, you are able to do so." I feel ashamed...it’s so cute.”
When she said this, she really burst into laughter.
The Black Sage immediately wanted to hit someone.
After all, he is a man who has seen the world. Even though the mages have always had a strict atmosphere and do not often hear the kind of exaggerated flattery that only nobles experience, so there will be the discomfort that reserved Chinese people feel when meeting enthusiastic and even disgusting foreigners, but listening to After that, as long as you are willing, you can still quickly find the appropriate response method and then make the appropriate response.
He raised his head and said, "I've never heard anyone praise me for being cute...at least not after I was ten years old. But anyway, since you are my student, I won't hold you accountable. Words."
Then he said, "It begins."
After a short intermission - mainly the change of background and costumes, the actors and staff of the theater troupe in the City of Sages were obviously not skilled enough in this area, so it obviously took longer than the intermission of the drama on Earth. time, but since Martial's audience couldn't compare, there were no complaints.
However, even with such a short period of time, Yin Lian did not waste it, but made full use of it. A group of staff entered the venue. In the civilian viewing area downstairs, people dressed in theatrical costumes began to walk through the crowd, throwing candies, and introduced the tourist routes and local shopping routes of the City of Sages, as well as some strange things. specialties and products.
In the aristocratic private room upstairs, someone came specially to distribute auctions and brochures and distribute refreshments.
No one is disturbing the Black Sage's private room, and refreshments are prepared from the beginning, although there will definitely be bold association mages - for example, the president of a certain department trying to harass, reminisce or gossip about the past. , but was mercilessly rejected by the Black Sage from the gate that was sealed with a barrier.
It was the auction manual that caused a commotion among the nobles.
The refreshments provided by the theater are all delicious, but no matter what, most of the audience who showed up at the Sage City Theater at this time are not their first time here. I am afraid that they have been amazed by the refreshments for a long time, but they are full of excitement about the auction. Be curious - after all, the items that appear at auction will be different every time.
It can be said that Yin Lian put a lot of thought into the products listed this time, so even in the aristocratic private room, which is usually more reserved, one or two exaggerated exclamations were heard from time to time, showing everyone's understanding of the products. Amazement and love for the product.
At this time, the second act of the drama also began.
At the beginning of the second act, the number of people around Andasi has increased by two. In addition to the girl who was almost burned at the stake in the previous act, there are two other boys.
The season seems to be spring, and on a bright spring meadow, Kamomon and Andasi are teaching magic to the children.
Andasi sang softly: "Don't be afraid of magic/It's just a small miracle/When you want/You can make a tree sprout/Bloom flowers."
He lightly tapped a sapling with his wand, and saw that the sapling suddenly sprouted branches, grew suddenly, and then bloomed into huge flowers.
But Kamomen insisted on making trouble with him. He stretched out his wand and touched the flowering tree. He saw that the leaves suddenly withered and then fell one after another. The branches also lost moisture and turned from emerald green to dry and dark black: "Or let it wither. , turned into a strange forest belonging to a terrible magician."
The children had been looking forward curiously, but now they seemed to be frightened and quickly jumped away from the tree.
Andasi had no choice but to reach out and turn the dead tree back into a lush and blooming state, and said: "Don't listen to his nonsense. How can a mage not like flowers blooming? Don't like the bright sunshine and the beautiful spring?"
Then he sang: "When time goes further and further / I hope we can always remember / The magic in the beginning / is just a small miracle / It is the small light seen by the bed at night / It blooms after the touch of fingertips The little flowers/are the little strength that holds us up when we jump down the hillside.”
"It has nothing to do with good or evil/It is expected/A small miracle"
