The next day…
After the premiere of the first and ever movie in the town, everyone was abuzz and keeps talking about it. Everyone is excited at what they have seen and could not help but discuss with their friends and family the story of the movie.
"I feel a bit pitiful towards Diabola… She experienced such tragic fate that's why she became evil."
"I know, and also the hero Armis could not help but fell in love with her beauty and grace. But alas fate is bound to separate the two apart."
"I like the hero wielding the twin knives I think she looks cool…"
"Oh, I know who she is, she's a daughter of the Yan family, Delphi Yan."
"…"
This discussion is happening everywhere in the town and it has become the mainstream topic.
Meanwhile, fame has already come towards the leading actors and actresses in the movie. Most people who saw them would always greet them, ogle at them, or rush towards them to either give them something or get something from them.
Their painted picture is one of the ways for these 'stars' to interact with their fans so, the Fenghai Broadcasting company has already prepared everything for them.
Meanwhile, because of the success of the movie and the large return of it, many companies in the town have also begun preparing.
The playwrights, scriptwriters, and actors became a hot commodity for them as they began to grab those with talents and prospects. The entertainment industry in the town suddenly grew overnight which made a lot of people happy.
One of the companies even began filming as they have already anticipated such a thing and are just waiting for the response of the masses from the first movie. And since it is a success, they immediately took action.
They are sure that next month, they would be the ones who would gain this fame. But of course, this is not just a race, but a fight for fame and fortune.
While this is happening, Shin Jiao is discussing something inside the meeting room. He has already prepared his plans and that they are going to the Viscount party tomorrow.
Since they are invited they have to show them a great performance, and the key to that is Isabel Nightingale.
While everything is being prepared someone enters the room. It was the 3rd elder of the El'fore family, Mardox El'fore.
"Mr. Mardox you seem to be doing fine already." Shin Jiao greeted.
Everyone also greeted in respect to the Grand Magus.
"Yes… I am very thankful to Master Shin. This debt I will remember it in my heart." Mardox said with a bow.
"Ah… Mr. Mardox is too polite. I did this to support my people…" Shin Jiao said as he shifted his gaze to Loom.
Loom is currently in charge of the materials with her mother Warkita, so she is in the meeting. When she saw Shin Jiao nodding at her, she felt a warm feeling in her heart. She knew that Master Shin did this for her and her future child. Hence she is feeling truly grateful.
"Master Shin I have been coop up in here for too long and has disturbed you and your people. I will take my leave now along with Levia and Olley. After that, Olley will be free to do what he wanted." Mardox said with a smile.
When Loom heard this, her expression turned a bit sad but still she is happy that Olley would still come back. The happiness in her eyes is evident that it made Shin Jiao smile. His eyes landed on her stomach which made him feel a bit happy for her.
If the child turns out into a pure elf because of the elixir he gave her to cure her wounds then that would be her blessing. The child might also have her ability which would make him accepted in the elven race. With this, that child would become an important bridge between the elves and the dwarves.
And since that child is one of his people, his group could benefit from it. With this thought, Shin Jiao did not worry about anything.
"Mr. Mardox should take care of yourself…" Shin Jiao cupped his fist and bowed.
After the meeting, Shin Jiao decided to go to the town and finalize the preparation for the first broadcast tomorrow. They have already prepared everything and according to his calculations, the broadcast signal would be able to reach up to Main Arjing city.
And if he is able to build another relay station in the city, then he might even be able to broadcast further. If he could tap on every main city in the outer kingdom, then that would be the best, right?
…
The next day…
Shin Jiao takes out a carrier-type ship from his dimension. The ship looks like a ground troop carrier the size of a shipping container. It has some floatation devices on the side and six wheels.
When the people inside the ship saw the design they were a bit astounded as they did not know what the bulky thing could do. The size of that thing has already made everyone feel a bit baffled.
When everyone began to board the carrier, they feel a sense of anxiety and worry in their hearts as they did not know what to expect.
Shin Jiao sat on the pilot seat and another mage who is trained in piloting these kinds of ships sat on the co-pilot seat.
"Everyone prepare to depart!" Shin Jiao said as he put on his headset.
"Control this is Alpha 01 preparing for takeoff…" Shin Jiao said on the line.
'Roger that Alpha 01…' the mage on the other end of the line replied.
The mage in the control replied. He is already familiar with such procedure as patrol groups would always say their codes and then he would check the radar and reply.
The large carrier began to slowly hover from the deck and began to rise higher.
Soon they are now above the tree of the forest and then flew in the direction of Main Arjing City.
The people with Shin Jiao this time are Hua Xiao, Xiamen Gong, and Vilma Song. Vilma Song would be partnering with Hua Xiao and Xiamen Gong for negotiations. The others are Isabel Nightingale and her elven bandmates, and then there is Yemei Yin who is always following Shin Jiao in the shadows, and also Shinyu Jiang who was a great scholar and the trainer of the mages in the flying ship.
Besides them, there are another 3 mages who have reached the High Mage level as bodyguards for Isabel's group.
As their ship flew through the forest, everyone is looking outside through their windows while admiring the scenery. They passed by some large lakes, waterfalls, and large patches of greeneries on their way.
However, when they were about to reach the border or Main Arjing City, Shin Jiao noticed a large commotion ahead of them.
A large number of soldiers are currently in a formation while facing against a large beast that looks like a small hill. The beast looks like a giant green-scaled turtle. On its back are some plants with thick roots that have spread all over its shell.
Although the distance is still far, with Shin Jiao's eyes, he could already observe what is happening ahead of them. The giant turtle's attack is weak, however, the plants on its back are different. They would produce some kind of projectile that would shoot at the soldiers below them like a torrent of bullets from machine guns.
What made it dangerous are those bullets. Once it hits someone, it would burst and then sent that soldier flying along with thick plant resin which would render the soldier immobile and turning them into ambers.
Even the barrier shields cast by the mages are helpless against this onslaught. Everything was a mess and he could already see many soldiers being taken down by those plants.
Shin Jiao could tell that this beast is heading to the city for some unknown reason hence he decided to help. If he did not, then it would cause too much harm to his plans.
Without hesitation, he looks at his co-pilot and activated the cloaking mechanism of the ship.
"Keep this thing hovering in this position, I will be back." He said as he walks to the back.
"What is happening down there Master Shin?" Isabel was the first to ask.
Shin Jiao just showed a faint smile and then said.
"Don't worry, I will try to take care of it… everyone stays here." Shin Jiao said as he looks at Hua Xiao and Xiamen Gong then nodded.
The two understood what he means and also nodded in reply.
Shin Jiao opens the side door of the ship and the strong wind suddenly blew inside the ship making some of them felt a shiver.
"See you guys later…" Shin Jiao said with a smile as he suddenly jumps down from the flying ship.
Those who did not know him immediately gasped in worry as everyone knew how high they are right now. How could someone survive such a fall in this height?
But those who knew him did not bother with anything and just continue to prepare themselves for their visit to Main Arjing City.
