The Geared Immortal

Chapter 890 - The Roar Of The Dragon (2)

Chapter 890

(Unedited)

…

'The Roar of the Dragon…' a simple title was displayed on the screen which the people knew as the title of the so-called movie that they are watching right now.

Suddenly, the screen turned dark.

Then a narrator began talking while a few lines of words appear on the screen.

'In the later years of the war between the believers of the light and darkness, a powerful dragon emerges from the abyss and began terrorizing the citizen of Arkman city in the northern part of the Xinglo Kingdom…' this tale is a familiar tale to many of the viewers.

Since young, they have known of the Arkman city war and destruction because of the mountains led by a huge fire-breathing dragon to attack the city. Even with the combined forces of the towers of both light and darkness in the city, they still did not stand a chance against the dragon and its horde of beasts. That is until a group of heroes arrives in the city from the inner lands of the Xinglo Kingdom.

They are the brave warriors that defeated the great dragon and its horde and took the city back by force. How the battle happened is vague and most are just in tales and songs from the bards. Hence there is no concrete story about this tale.

But now, in front of their eyes, they are going to see history unfold before them.

Of course, this is just a movie and there are things that the writers did to change something from history.

Then a scene of war suddenly appears on the screen and people immediately gasped in disbelief upon seeing the battle happening in front of their eyes.

They all show fear and dread in their eyes as if the battle is happening in front of them. Some would even duck and lower themselves on their seat upon seeing a sword being swung towards them or arrows flying in their direction.

The reaction of the people is priceless and it made everyone feel both worry and joy. Though they already knew that those things are not real they still could not help themselves but be immersed in the scene.

"Holy hell, this thing is too wicked!"

"I thought it was all real. Damn, so this is what they call 'movie'. Haha…"

"Mommy… Are we going to die?"

"No… no baby… Everything is not real. See they could not get out of that big screen."

"Those big men are scary…"

"And look at those beasts! They look so real!"

The people began to whisper around the theater after that battle scene.

But those who were part of the crew who are watching in the theaters smirked.

"Look so real? They are real… don't you know how dangerous those scenes were. If not for the mages and the healers, someone could have died back then…"

"Yeah… Our main actor was even scratched… Haha…"

The crew whispered while laughing as they remember those experiences they had while filming the movie.

But with the vision and with the help of the many staff, they were able to create such life-like scenery.

Then the movie began to calm down as it suddenly told the story of all the heroes' origins. The audience began to immerse themselves in the heroes' lives and many began to pick some of the heroes they like.

As the movie progresses, the main antagonist appears. She is a dark mage who poisoned the dragon's mind and it began to rampage. She and her minions began to cause havoc and pain to the people and everyone is afraid of her.

But the movie then reveals what causes her to hate everything.

She was a noblewoman in a good family. One day someone took fancy of her and pursues her, but she is already in love and engaged to another noble family.

However, that person did not want to let her go and did something that made her turn to the darkness. That person was a member of a particular white mage. And due to that man's lust for her, her whole family was sacrificed and also the family of her lover.

She was taken and imprisoned then forced by the man to be his woman. But before he could do anything to her, she was able to escape because of the dark magic that she secretly learned from her mother.

Her revenge and hatred ended in the near destruction of Arkman city.

When the heroes arrived an epic battle happened which made every viewer at the edge of their seat. After driving the beasts and the dragon back.

The main protagonist decided to explore the forest one night and he saw a beautiful woman lying on the river bank.

He saved her and then helped her recuperate.

But unknown to him, she is actually the antagonist.

The two fell in love with each other while staying together. But she could not let go of that hatred which has already clouded her mind.

At last fierce battle between the forces of light and darkness, he was forced to kill her and her last words were.

"Thank you, my love, for setting me free… If in this world, we could not be together… then maybe… just maybe, in the next life… we can be together forever…"

The ending scene made many of the viewers crying because of the sad love story between the two. However, the triumph of the light against the darkness was highlighted in the film. This is because the Xinglo Kingdom's current ruler is from the noble families which worshiped the light god Agus.

After the movie many people stood and applauded greatly while wiping their tears.

"Great! This is great!"

"This movie is truly awesome!"

"Good! Good!"

The audiences were all shouting in happiness before they were ushered to leave the theater for the next batch of viewers.

Many wanted to watch it again, but they were told that today is premier so anyone could only watch it once. Maybe after a few days when the theater would not be full anymore, they can watch them as long as they like, but for now, many people are still waiting.

The nobles who are leaving are all showing great smiles on their faces and fascination could be seen in them.

"I remember that beautiful woman who acted as the evil lady seems to be from the Maw family, right?" a middle-aged noblewoman said with a slight smile.

"Yes, she is really a good actress. I could not believe that she could portray her role that well. I have mixed feelings if I should be angry at her or pity her as the enemy of the heroes…"

"I also noticed one of the daughters of the Yan family in the movie. She seems to also have good acting skills. I thought she applied to be a radio host?"

"Haha… I can now see how smug that old Yan would be after knowing that his daughter acted so well."

The nobles began chatting while going out of the theater. Those who heard them were all intrigued and quickly wanted to get inside so that they too could see what this movie really is.

…

At this time, Shin Jiao and his group are congratulating Jiwen Han for doing such a good job. Although he helped in editing some parts of the movie especially the special effects, he was truly astounded by how these people could grasp the technology according to their imagination.

This is true especially to that old mage who directed this whole film. He could not imagine someone who is not well versed in technology could think of such scenes and well-directed plot.

But one thing is for sure now. The sales for the TV sets would be absolutely successful. But he would not introduce it yet to the market. He would wait for a few days before producing the TV that would tune in to the TV station. Then after 5 months, he would produce the video player.

That way, people could have already created many films just like 'The Roar of the Dragon' for the people to watch privately at home.

"I think our plan is a success…" Hua Xiao said while smiling.

"I could see that you seem to want your own movie…" Shin Jiao suddenly said with a teasing smile.

"Master Shin… You…" Hua Xiao was a bit stomped as she was taken by surprise at that comment.

In truth, she envied those actresses as they would now be immortalized because of the movies. She wanted to leave something in this world before she left. Maybe a movie of her own would be a good one, right?

She suddenly remembers the kissing scene which was not shown but only in the shadows. This is due to the tradition of the people. But she could not help but imagine a certain person doing that to her and her face blushed.

But then she could not help but frown as that person still did not realize her feelings for him.

Shin Jiao who seems to see her spacing out once again teases Hua Xiao.

"You're thinking of him again… Right? Haha…"

"Shin Hiao…  you…" Hua Xiao angrily glared and suddenly hit Shin Jiao's shoulder as the two chuckled.
