543 Valiant Gnome” (2/2)
”What are you doing? This is the third time. Why did you kneel down?”
The large Black Dragon transformed into the original size of Eggface. The Great Dragon was a masquerade of Eggface using Mana.
”I can't help it…” Moroes said as he cried.
”When the Black Dragon bellows, I'm scared out of my wits.”
Moroes wasn't joking, so one of the gamers suggested, ”This won't do. Moroes is unable to overcome his fear. Why don't we change the script?”
Oscar pondered for a while and shouted, ”Change the script! He will kneel while fighting the Black Dragon!”
…
Moroes dragged his exhausted body back to his room. Behind him was a group of gamers who were smiling merrily.
The gamers were holding a Mana Recording Device and various props as they returned to their homes happily.
Moroes glanced at them one last time, on the verge of collapsing. He was arranged to act with Eggface, and it was finally completed. While he was supposed to defeat the Black Dragon, he was scared out of his wits.
He would tremble at the thought of the Dragon. Finally, the Dragon scene was completed, and Moroes heaved a sigh of relief.
”I should be able to win back my wife.”
…
”I'm going offline. Get offline and have an early test. You have been keeping late nights, don't overwork yourself.”
”Yes, have a rest, great director!”
Oscar listened to the gamers, but upon observation, he noticed that they weren't sincere, as they were smiling happily.
They were taking joy in his misfortune.
To Oscar, shooting a movie wasn't a tiring thing. It made him happy. He was only shouting angrily on the movie set because he was too passionate.
In the real world, he was learning to be a movie director. However, being a director wasn't easy. He didn't even have the money to produce a mini-movie. But in the game world, there were Gnomes, Black Dragons, Grand Priests, large Spiders… they were readily available for filming!
He felt like he was producing a movie for ”Lord of the Rings”!
He had written a script with the name ”Bracelet King”.
But now, he had to finish his post-production work and edit the videos.
In the game, he couldn't edit the videos like in real life. He had to look for the Mana Engineer, Yoda.
Oscar brought along all of his round Adamantine rocks as he proceeded to the Mana Engineering Hall.
…
”Lord Sherlock, the movie produced by the gamers is complete. I placed it on your computer's home screen,” Bru said to Sherlock, who was in the Dungeon Lord Main Hall.
When Yoda was helping Oscar with the editing, Bru copied both the edited and unedited footage and placed it on Sherlock's computer.
Sherlock nodded and sat down. He saw two versions of the movie.
”Valiant Gnome” and ”Valiant Gnome (Unedited Version)”.
”The movie was completed that fast?”
Sherlock accessed the movie and started watching it.
”I am Moroes, a lonely Gnome warrior…”
”Oh? Why isn't it Moroes' voice?”
Sherlock was taken aback, and Bru replied, ”The gamers did a voice-over during post-production, Lord Sherlock.”
”I see.”
Sherlock nodded and watched the movie intently. The unedited movie was an hour long, while the edited version was only half an hour.
After Sherlock finished watching it, he nodded and said, ”Hmm, the movie is pretty good. The land that I bought in the old district can be used now.”
”Lord Sherlock, what do you intend to do…”
”It's nothing much. I'm building a movie theater.”
