The next day, at the White Thorn Theatre.
Joshua sat in the rehearsal room and examined the actors that Sir White Thorn had chosen. These actors were all from the White Thorn Theatre, among them were quite a number of veteran actors who had participated in “Avatar”and “The story of the Loyal Dog Ba Gong”.
Regarding the choice of supporting roles, Joshua was rather satisfied. As for the main character…
“Unfortunately, Sir White Thorn Flower, the main character you chose is too young.”
Joshua looked at the ‘resume’of the young actor in front of him.
This actor knew Joshua, and Joshua knew him too.
He used to come from the bottom of Squirrel Street. He was a thief under the command of an ORC called ‘beauty’Gutamar. More importantly… he was a mixed-blood of the devil.
When Joshua first met him, he was still dirty in his shabby clothes.
At that time, Sir White Thorn Flower had requested to adopt him. Now, it was proven that Sir White Thorn Flower had good taste.
Now, he was wearing normal clothes and standing there with a little restraint. Judging from his appearance, he indeed had the potential to become an actor.
“Mr. Joshua, if you put on some makeup,”Sir White thorn flower seemed to be very confident in his apprentice.
“This is not a matter of makeup. I know that you really want to give this boy a chance, but not now…”
Joshua smiled at him, hoping that he would not be so restrained. However, the young actor still hugged his hands tightly and was at a loss.
“Then, Mr. Joshua, I actually have a few candidates for the male lead,”Sir White Thorn Flower said.
However, Joshua directly threw the resume of the White Thorn Theatre on the table and turned to look at Sir White Thorn flower beside him.
“Have you lost a lot of weight recently?”
Joshua remembered that Sir White thorn flower should be slightly chubby.
“During the time when the avatar was released, I didn’t sleep much for almost a week, so…”
“Very good.”Joshua stood up from his seat and patted Sir White Thorn Flower on the shoulder. “The male lead has been decided on you. Don’t let me down.”
Sir White Thorn Flower’s acting skills were unquestionable. The role of the villain, ‘Police Officer’, played in ‘The Devil is not too cold’was indeed deeply rooted in people’s hearts.
Joshua believed that if Sir White Thorn revealed that ‘perverted’smile in front of a little girl who had seen ‘The Devil is not too cold’, she would definitely be scared to tears in an instant, or… he could ask her to take out her magic staff and fight.
“This…”
Joshua did not give Sir White Thorn a chance to answer. Instead, he walked straight to the front of the young actor.
“I remember your name is Leon?”Joshua asked.
“Yes… Yes, Your Highness.”
He still did not seem to be able to adapt to this kind of environment. Although Sir White Thorn had taught him enough etiquette lessons, he did not teach him how to remain calm in front of the chaos demon.
“I remember that you have a sister.”
When Joshua mentioned his sister, his expression finally changed a little.
“My Sister is living in Faroese mansion. Well… Thank you, Mr. Joshua…”
“There’s no need to thank me. Continue to learn acting skills from that ‘Steinfeld’. There will always be a chance for you to go on stage in the future.”
Joshua also pointed at Sir White Thorn in the distance. He had once mistakenly believed that the story in ‘this demon is not too cold’was real to help him kidnap Sir White Thorn.
“That’s all I have to say to encourage you.”Joshua turned around and glanced at all the actors present. “I think all of you know what to do next. Take your script books. Shawshank prison is estimated to be built in about three days! “Before that, we’ll shoot the scenes before the prison.”
..
Four days later, Squirrel Street north of Nolan.
“The black flame wolf that we tracked down for almost six days only had a reward of 25 gold coins. Even if we split the money, it wouldn’t be enough to maintain our weapons.”
Reyerk walked on the street of Squirrel Street and listened to the complaints of the members beside him.
“The black flame wolf is only a variant of the flame wolf. The fur of this creature is only about one silver coin. It’s already good enough to have 500 gold coins.”
Reyerk did not say anything. The staff officer of the snake of Yevilk, Rona, began to appease the other members. However, after he finished appeasing them, he looked at Reyerk.
“Leader, can the things we recorded really be exchanged for sufficient rewards?”Rona held the original crystal that recorded the video of them hunting the black flame wolf in his hand. “From today onwards, the supplies are all earned from your… performance, right?”
Rona paused slightly when he mentioned the word ‘performance’. The snake of Yevilk was currently facing a dilemma, and that was the dilemma of lacking money.
After a portion of the members were affected by the gray fog, they had not accepted any decent commissions for a long time.
This was also one of the reasons why Reyerk suddenly decided to go to the music guild.
Fortunately, Reyerk had used his voice to conquer many listeners of the magic net cloud music. The money he earned also eased the snake of Yevilk’s dilemma of lacking money, but he did not get rid of it.
The snake had been weak for too long and needed a lot of nutrition to nourish it.
“I don’t know.”
Reyerk shook his head and gave Rona an uncertain answer. During this time, he had already led the four members behind him out of Nolan’s city wall and to the outskirts of the suburbs.
“Leader… still not here? Shouldn’t the agreed location be Squirrel Street? I still want to go to the underground bar in Squirrel Street for a drink,”the archer behind Reyerk suddenly asked.
They had thought that the location of this ‘deal’was Squirrel Street. After all, Squirrel Street was a place where shady deals gathered a long time ago.
However, when a group of people named ‘reporters’appeared on Squirrel Street, the chaos on the street was instantly quelled.
“The location of the deal is in Beginner’s Forest?”Rona ignored the noisy archer and asked Reyk.
“No, it’s there.”
Reyerk pointed to an extremely eye-catching building in the distance.
“Fort… Fortress, Fortress? “When was it built?”Rona only noticed that there was another ‘wall’outside Squirrel Street’s wall. “The last time I was outside this city gate was a month ago… why would those wise old men build a fortress so close to the city?”
“That’s not a fortress.”Reyerk said in a deep voice, “It’s a prison… a prison named Shawshank.”
“Shawshank Prison?”
Rona read out the strange name, and the other three members of Reyerk’s party all revealed a strange expression when they heard the word ‘prison’.
“That chaos demon really has something up his sleeve, right? Why would he place the location of the transaction in a prison! Nolan’s law enforcement team must have set up an ambush nearby! Leader…”
“Calm down, Keya. We’re not selling anything illegal.”Rona reminded the archer behind him not to be an occupational hazard. “But leader, is Joshua Arnold Serious?”
“He’s serious. He also said that he can invite us there… as guests,”Reyerk said.
