Bringing Culture to a Different World

Chapter 214

Affected by the Brass Dragon’s roar, many of the elven singers suffered damages to their hearing. This included Gallolei’s bodyguard Flay.

There were several elves among the harp-bearing elven girls that were skilled with healing magic. After they confirmed the Brass Dragon’s anger had been curbed, they began to treat their fellow elves inside the World Tree.

While they were doing so, they couldn’t help but turn to look at the projection in midair. Their attentions were captured by the movie ‘Léon: The Demon.’

Gallolei’s bodyguard Flay received treatment with the power of the World Tree from another elven girl. Finally, she was able to hear the sound of her surroundings again.

The first thing she heard were the discussions of her fellow elves toward ‘Léon: The Demon.’

“That human girl’s father is simply too boorish...”

“What a pitiful little girl.”

“So the legendary Grand Duke of Blackwood is actually such a person?”

As these elves had lived in the Blackwood Forest all their life, they had no idea what ‘movies’ and ‘performances’ were. When they saw the character Gallolei was playing in the movie, Mathilda, being mistreated by her father, they all took it to be something that actually happened and began to sympathize with the human girl.

“Elder sisters... these are all fictional. My contractee... her real life is not like that.”

Seeing the elves that were older than her looking at Gallolei with eyes filled with sympathy and kindness, Flay realized that if she doesn’t clear up this misunderstanding now, it will only get worse.

“Fictional?”

Hearing what Flay said, the other elves looked at her with confusion in their eyes. When Flay was about to give an explanation, Gallolei explained what movies were before her. But, the target of her explanation was not the elves. Instead, it was the Brass Dragon.

“So it’s fake? So that’s the case. If what’s recorded is real, the angles that’s being shown couldn’t possibly be... this perfect.”

Keen-eyed, the Brass Dragon immediately noticed the angles being shown on ‘Léon: The Demon’ were all... meticulously chosen to construct the mood of the scene and the frame of mind of the characters on the scene.

“What you’re referencing to is called a scene.”

At this moment, Gallolei provided a professional explanation. During her participation in the filming of ‘Léon: The Demon,’ she had remembered the terms that Joshua would frequently reference.

“A scene... In other words, this is actually a stage play, the expertise of the people from Farucci? Has humans finally managed to bring their fantasies from their narrow stage to the outside world after all these years?”

The Brass Dragon shifted his head around and stared at the incomparable small human girl Gallolei with one eye.

The ‘elven epic’ sung by Tylene was being broadcasted through Gallolei the entire time. The song that could pacify one’s soul was one of the reasons why the Brass Dragon was able to calm down.

As for the other reason... it was because of his curiosity.

“That’s correct. That is the new century’s stage play.”

Gallolei nodded her head to acknowledge the Brass Dragon’s question.

“Lord Protector, are you also interested in stage plays?”

“Of course. Stage plays might be one of the few interesting things created by human civilization. ‘The Founding of the Kingdom,”Revolutionary Girl,”By The Grob River...\'”

After the Brass Dragon regained his senses, he once again started to chatter on and on. But, he suddenly stopped when he recounted the third stage play that he held in high regards. His high spirits suddenly waned. Although it lasted for but a flash, Gallolei captured his change in mood.

The three stage plays the Brass Dragon listed were indeed very well known in Farucci. They were so famous that they’re recorded in Farucci’s Art Institute’s textbooks. If Gallolei remembered correctly, the main female lead for those three stage plays were the same person — the previous actress that held the title of ‘Flower of Farucci.’

But, that actress has died for over a hundred years already.

Gallolei immediately started visualizing the secrets between her predecessor and the Brass Dragon. That said, she didn’t really understand why a giant dragon covered in scales would be interested in a human girl...

“Having slept at the roots of the World Tree for so long, the humans finally managed to achieve new tricks. But, that originium crystal doesn’t seem to be the works of humans.”

Following his curiosity, the Brass Dragon’s golden eyes looked at the originium crystal and sang a couple phrases in a language Gallolei couldn’t understand.

Then, the sandstone on the ground gathered together and formed a meter tall rock golem. The rock golem walked over to Gallolei’s bodyguard. It was planning to take away the originium crystal Flay held in her hand to study it.

The movement of the golem affected the elven girls that were completely focused on watching ‘Léon: The Demon.’

To Gallolei’s surprise, even though those elves acted very respectful toward the Brass Dragon, they did not fear him.

“Lord Protector, could you please wait until this special illusion finishes before taking the originium crystal to study? What’s being displayed has reached a crucial point.”

The eldest elven woman stood forward. She seemed to be the teacher of the elven singers...

The movie ‘Léon: The Demon’ has reached the spot where the law enforcers arrived at Mathilda’s home in an aggressive manner. The elves were concerned with whether or not the family of the pitiful little girl Mathilda would be spared.

If the ‘television’s’ source of power was to be suddenly pulled at such a crucial moment, had it not been for the fact that what’s before them was a giant dragon, these old elven women might even pull up their sleeves to fight against the person attempting to pull the power.

“Has the script reached an interesting part? I can understand what you all are feeling... but, according to my speculation, that demon hitman will likely save that girl’s family.”

Using his years of experience from watching stage plays, the Brass Dragon began to give ‘spoilers.’ But, the elves ignored the chattering giant dragon and continued to focus on the development on the screen.

“Lord Protector, you’ve... guessed wrong.”

Gallolei said to the Brass Dragon with a quiet voice. Due to the limits of stage plays, no stage play could construct a scene filled with blood. Even if they were able to obtain real blood for prop, it would still be prohibited in Farucci.

Because of that, the graceful stage plays would generally be more ‘reserved.’ But, that was different for movies... That Chaos Demon did not consider taboos, limits and whatnot while filming the movie.

Gallolei was able to imagine those elves will have a deepened impression of how cruel and barbarous the humans were after watching the upcoming massacre.

“Also, Lord Protector, may I take a picture with you?”

Gallolei once again used a vocabulary Joshua used before. Finally, the Black Swan revealed her true purpose in coming here. She took out her camera and looked at the Brass Dragon with a smile on her face.
