Chapter 288

After the two elf Girls left, William asked incredulously, "Harvey, are you serious?"

"Which point?"

"Let the genie be the actor of the phantom."

Harvey said in a strange tone: "half serious, half joking, mainly because I didn't expect them to agree so easily. Is the elves in such a bad situation?"

William, who was about to drink the champagne, put down his glass and shook his head after thinking about it. He replied: "I can imagine a little bit. Although I don't know the number of elves living in Farr forest now, it's conservatively estimated that it won't exceed 1000. Recently, the development of the kingdom is constantly oppressing their living space. Elves don't hate performing at all. Most elves work as bards to earn money when they are wandering or going out for training. However, this happened hundreds of years ago. As a caster, you should know better than me. "

"Their strength is not weak. It should be OK to negotiate with the royal family. Now the royal family is very short of manpower."

"According to my understanding, elves would rather cooperate with human beings than accept human alms."

"I mean coercion by force."

William sneered: "if they can do it, they will not be elves. Moreover, in the long run, the disadvantages brought by force are greater. Their life expectancy gives them a longer-term vision. Of course, in our view, it is too far away and becomes stupid and stubborn."

Isabella and Isabelle leave the Cromwell chamber of Commerce and return to the hotel where they are staying. The silence that blocks Isabelle's voice is automatically released.

Isabelle asked excitedly, "Isabella, you are crazy! Why do you agree with that person's request? Even if you like his novels, at least keep the reserve and rationality that an elf should have! "

Isabella sighed: "it is because of the reserve and rationality that I will consider Mr. Adrian's proposal. You should know the purchasing power of hundreds of thousands of barons in the kingdom of Baron."

"Even so

"Isabelle, haven't you found out yet? The elder agreed to let us come to the human nation for the purpose of training. "

Isabelle rose up and complained: "don't you want to meet the hateful human caster Adrian unilaterally? The elder has always been so partial to you. "

"If only that were true." Isabella whispered, her face turned dignified: "the spring of the well of the moon is nearly exhausted. Within ten years, the etheric magic contained in the veins of fal forest will be completely destroyed. Before that, we must find a suitable settlement."

Hearing the well of the moon, Isabelle trembled and exclaimed in disbelief: "how can... If the well of the moon dries up, Catherine, they can't grow up?"

The well of the moon is one of the most important facilities for elves. It can transform etheric magic and earthvein power into moon dew. Moon dew is a precious material in the magic association. It is known as the natural magic medicine. It has the magical effect of healing the body and warming the spirit.

Moon dew is the same as mother and milk for elves. It's easy for immature elves to get sick if they don't drink moon dew regularly. Especially in today's time when the etheric elements are gradually thin, young elves rely more on moon dew.

"Don't worry about that. The new moon well construction site has been determined."

Isabelle vaguely guessed what, the small face is not good-looking: "and human?"

"Isabelle, do you remember Cassius?"

"Cassius Cassius, the one who left Farr forest a hundred years ago?"

Isabella sighed: "yes, now he holds a more important position in the wizarding Association, persuading the upper level of the wizarding association to lend us the vein magic used by the branch of the wizarding Association, which is not far away from the wizarding Association, and most of the expenses are borne by Cassius, even so, It's a burden to let elves live in human cities. Either we lose the well of the moon or we adapt to the environment. "

The huge and luxurious manor takes about ten minutes to walk from the gate to the residence. The road is paved with neat tiles. Even if the carriage is driving on it, it will not feel bumpy. The gardens on both sides of the road are in good order. After careful pruning by workers, the grass is planted with new bouquets, green grass and red flowers, full of fresh air.

The most praiseworthy part of the manor is a luxurious compound residence, which is similar to a modern house. It is four stories high. The interior decoration is full of classical beauty, elegance and atmosphere.

When Harvey came here, Shirley was directing the workers to finish the decoration of the residence. Harvey didn't have much requirements for the residence. The wizard's tower was in another space, so there was no need to worry about the lack of space. On the first day of moving here, Harvey made a detour in the whole manor and buried gems in different places to build magic circle and enchantment.

Looking at the spacious courtyard covered with green grass, Harvey also sighed: "it's not a good thing that the area is too large. The skill of arranging the magic array is more than ten times that of the original house. It takes months or even years to build a mage's residence."

"Well, this place, if you build a swimming pool here, it's perfect."

The next day, Diana and Shirley were busy sorting out their internal affairs and moving the furniture they had brought from Elroy to the residence. Diana expropriated "heavy silver water" to lift things without any difficulty, which stunned the furniture workers. They were ready to move several solid wood furniture that could be lifted to the fourth floor, But Diana used heavy silver water to easily move two pieces of solid wood furniture up. The strong sense of visual impact made the workers doubt whether the furniture was filled with velvet.

Diana is a perfectionist. She can toss the whole morning about the position of a piece of furniture.

Harvey finally set up the framework of the magic circle and began to realize his second idea. The heavy silver water was requisitioned by Diana, so he simply cast the magic and prepared to "dig" a large swimming pool in the back hall. The weather was approaching summer. Although Lily was transformed into a man, she still liked to play with water very much and had to spend a lot of time every time taking a bath.

Harvey stood in the backyard with blue light in his eyes. He estimated the area of the swimming pool he wanted to build: "about 15 square meters. Anyway, the backyard is big. He has to buy some building materials."

The invisible force separates the soil, just like ice and snow baked by fire, melting and quickly "digging" a big hole.

In less than half an hour, more than half of the 15 square meter swimming pool project has been completed. The pit is square and the incision is strange. It seems that it is printed on the ground with a huge square metal.

"What are you doing, sir?" I don't know when Shirley, who has changed into a classical maid's long skirt, comes to the edge of the pit, squats down with her white skirt pressed down, and her eyes behind her rimless glasses look curious.

"Make a swimming pool."

"Swimming pool?"

"Well, it seems you need a swimsuit for you, too." Harvey smiles. Swimming is not rare in this era, and even has developed into a beach. However, women's swimsuits are not as fancy as modern swimsuits. Most of women's swimsuits are like the lengthened and thickened version of profane clothes, covering most of the skin. It's very inconvenient to move when stained with water.

"SWIMSUIT?" Shirley, unfamiliar with the term, held out her catkin to Harvey and said with a smile, "I'm looking forward to it, but I'd better come up first. Mr. Brenda has been waiting in the living room for his visit."

"Mr. Brenda?" When Harvey was stunned, he remembered who Mr. Brenda was. Maxwell Brenda, the head of Brenda theater, had hardly met him since he finished shooting count of Monte Cristo. It was said that Brenda theater has been performing and developing in Norton.

Sherry forced havira up, although her catkin looks weak, in fact, it is still transformed by the devil attribute, and it is not a problem to blow down a brick wall with one punch.

Shirley helps Harvey to arrange the collar and hair of his shirt. She is sure there is nothing wrong with it and nods with satisfaction.

When he came to the waiting room, where the furniture was covered with white cloth, Harvey met the familiar middle-aged uncle, with a thin face, handsome face and a sense of maturity. In terms of male charm, Harvey was only a lot more than Harvey. Seeing Harvey come in, Maxwell stood up to greet him, shook hands with Harvey, and said with a smile, "Mr. Adrian, long time no see."

"Originally, I wanted to invite Norton's friends to a dinner party for a while, but I didn't expect you to come first."

Maxwell's face appeared a little embarrassed: "it seems that I am disturbing you."

"It's not that bad. If I have acquaintances to say hello to me, I feel more relieved to move to this strange city."

They were polite and chatted about their family and past. Maxwell expressed his intention with a bitter face: "Mr. Adrian, I'm very happy to hear that you are going to live in Norton. Besides the surprise of meeting old friends, I also hope to get your help."

"Please say, if you can help me, I will." Harvey said with a smile.

Maxwell looked at Harvey and sighed awkwardly: "I'm very satisfied with your kindness last time, but it seems that I don't have the ability to be the director you said. Since the shooting of count of Monte Cristo, Brenda theatre has launched several mirages one after another, which were very popular at first, but with the popularity of mirages, Brenda theater has been on the decline, and now it has to rely on performing drama to keep going

Brenda theatre company has seized the opportunity in the phantom market. Harvey has trained actors and a professional photographer, Kenneth Randolph. This should have been a perfect start. Maxwell underestimated the fierce competition in the phantom market. Harvey also contributed to this. A few months ago, Brenda theatre company and phantom entertainment company reached a cooperation, A phantom adapted from a classical novel was shot. After a lot of publicity, Maxwell was looking forward to the grand occasion of waiting to be released. However, news came out from Elroy that Harvey's new work "ice and snow" was released.

Maxwell describes the difficult situation of Brenda theater company. He came to Harvey this time to work with Harvey to make another phantom similar to the count of Monte Cristo.

"I see. In that case, I'll be happy to help you. I'll contact you later. I have to think about the script of the new phantom." Harvey nodded happily. Anyway, Harvey has not been very busy recently. He can just shoot a new phantom to earn points on the property panel. Harvey is mutually beneficial with Brenda theatre. As a director and producer, Harvey can take most of the profits. Brenda theatre needs to maintain its reputation.

Smell speech, Maxwell face haze cleared, stood up and shook hands with Harvey excitedly: "thank you very much, then I'll go back to wait for your news."

······

The new phantom? What's good?

Harvey thought about this problem as early as the completion of the phantom shooting of the count of Monte Cristo. At that time, he couldn't pay attention to it.

The first one is Shawshank Redemption, which is an immortal inspirational classic in American film history. After its release, it won almost all the Oscar Awards in 1995. It tells the story of a young and promising banker who was unjustly jailed but did not give up hope and still yearned for freedom in the face of rotten and dirty environment. This film can be regarded as a washing of the soul, It inspires the audience to yearn for hope and freedom.

Harvey couldn't find anything wrong with this film. The reason why Harvey hesitated was that the Shawshank Redemption collided with the count of Monte Cristo in all kinds of senses, regardless of the theme, the plot and the profound meaning of the plot.

The other one is much less famous because it is too old. This film was recommended by US President Truman. It is called "how beautiful life". The style and form of the story are similar to most modern family movies. Similar movies include "remote control of life" and "fake gods".

Although the themes are different, the connotation of the film is to express the importance of life and family. In how beautiful life is, the hero is a kind-hearted old man. However, God doesn't seem to pay much attention to him. Although he has been keen to help other people, he has frequent bad luck. One day, he lost his urgent money because of carelessness, Anxious, the only way he thought of was to commit suicide.

When the hero is ready to commit suicide, he sees someone take the lead. He braves the cold and jumps down the glacier to save the person who committed suicide. The person who committed suicide claims that he is an angel sent by God and can satisfy the hero's wishes.

Of course, the hero doesn't believe it. In the conversation, he said that he hoped that he had never come to this world and that he had never met these unfortunate things.

Angel realized the hero's wish. When the hero came back to the town, he saw a town that didn't exist. He saw many tragedies because he didn't exist and didn't help others. At that time, he knew that his life was not meaningless at all. The hero could not accept these facts. When he cried out to send him back to that world, everything returned to normal.

Seeing the town where he doesn't exist, the hero understands the meaning of life and is still fearless even in the face of difficulties. When he goes back to the town, the money he lost is not found, but the town residents who have been helped by the hero generously give the hero enough money for emergency use. The story ends perfectly.

In terms of theme and deep meaning, this film is not very good in modern movies, but its delicate plot shows the beauty of trivial life and gives it completely different meaning and moving.
