The bck crows circled around the old mansion, and the locatiohe Headless Horseman and Viz were situated happeo be oskirts of Nosrick. At this moment, this usually desote pce was crowded with people. This was because Edward had just received Belldia's sent and summoned all his subordinates here.
As soon as they arrived, Belldia's appearance immediately caused a otion among the crowd. These people, who had never seen an undead before, now looked at him with expressions akin to those who had just seen a goril in a museum. Edward had already expined Viz and Belldia's situation and annouhat they would also participate in the filming process.
Although it was difficult for them to accept it all at ohe crowd chose to trust Edward's decision. Wendy even borrowed the kit of the old mansion bought by Viz to make dinner.
"Viz and the Headless Horseman, 't you eat anything since you're undead?"
To Edward's question, Viz smiled and replied, "I eat, but Mr. Belldia 't. After all, if a lich barely retain a human form, the Headless Horseman, to which Belldia belongs, should be sidered as something like a zombie, with all his bodily ans already rotten away."
Uanding the situation, Edward, who had inally wao say something more, stopped when he saw the Headless Horseman and Zat happily discussing knight swordsmanship in the distance.
At night, when most people went to bed, Edward had no iion of resting at all. While the events of the past few days tio swirl in his mind, he sat uhe oil mp and began modifying the script for the uping ses.
inally, acc to Edward's pn, he would at least film a plete series and then release it in episodes. However, now that he had gradually recruited enough actors to shoot the film, he couldn't help but realize that the plot they could shoot seemed to only be enough to cover the part where they defeat the Headless Horseman.
After all, not to mention the rge amount of expenses required for the bosses like General Dong and the giant mae castle ier plot, eveer plot seemed a bit difficult to hahe protagonist group's resideill o be found, and in short, no matter how you looked at it, it wasn't a situation that could be easily resolved.
Therefore, Edward ultimately decided to abandon the idea of filming a TV series and instead po make a movie for the first time, stopping at the part where they defeat the Headless Horseman, densing all the previous plots, and finally mixing them into a feature-length film!
"The total runtime is probably about an hour and a half, which be sidered as a colle of episodes for a theatrical version. I just wonder if the people in this world accept such a long movie."
Due to the fact that Edward had never seen any stage pys or dramas before, he didn't know how long the people of this world could accept a movie. However, after some thought, an hour and a half should be the most suitable length. After making some modifications and es in the plot, a theatrical version proposal script that Edward was quite satisfied with appeared in his hands.
At the same time, Belldia walked over from the side. This undead, who did not o sleep, came to the table and saw the stack of scripts. He was surprised and said, "Is this the script you mentioned, Edward? I take a look?"
"Sure, but try not to disturb them, okay? After all, normal people o sleep."
"Haha, I still have some self-trol."
Belldia pced his head oable, adopting a eerie ao peer at the script lying oable. With the old mansion and dlelight as backdrop, Edward could guarahat this se could scare quite a few people.
Shortly after, Belldia, who had previously said things like "I'm the Headless Horseman, I don't ugh" and "You should trust the professionalism of a former knight," mao achieve the achievement of "True Fragrance" about three mier. His head and body had separated, aruggled to hold back his ughter, even as Edward, who had already anticipated this oute, quickly cast a soundproof barrier with magic.
Seeing the barrier in pce, Belldia, who couldn't hold bay longer, tio ugh heartily while reading the script. At the same time, he couldn't help but say, "Hahaha! Ahem... Haha!! This is so amusing! I thought I had pletely lost the emotions of a human after hundreds of years. By the way, Edward, are you askio py the role of this Headless Horseman iory?"
"Well, that's about it, but my filming isn't like a stage py. It will be recorded by specialized memory crystals and then shown to thousands of people in this world using imaging crystals."
Hearing this for the first time, Belldia, whose head was lying oable, looked extremely surprised. However, he smiled and took a seat, nodding. "In that case, although I would like you to give me a more det role, it seems I 't ask for too much."
"Haha, don't uimate the charm of the Headless Horseman in this story. Although he's portrayed as an antagonist, most people won't feel disgusted by him when they watch this story."
"Well, that's true."
With that said, after flipping through the story once again, Belldia suddenly asked in surprise, "By the way, Edward, is there ion of the chur your story? Although it seems that there are people who believe in the goddess, why isn't there a mention of the Church of the Holy Light, which worships the Light God? You know, those people are very narrow-mihey might define you as a messenger of demons and decre that what you're produg doesn't to the doe."
To Belldia's question, Edward simply said, "I have sidered this, but for now, there is no solution, or rather, there is no need for a solution. After all, I haven't po take the films I make outside of the Southerory for sing. The Southerory is still uhe jurisdi of the Grand Duke Victor, and this nd has not been influenced by those chartans."
"...!"
Uedly blunt, it took Belldia a moment to react before bursting into ughter. "Well said! Those guys are nothing more than chartans. The establishment of the empire has nothing to do with the so-called gods they worship. These self-procimed messengers of gods have nht to judge anyone!"
Clearly, Belldia had been pursued by the church for years. Although he uood that it was due to his undead status, he still harbored quite a bit of ive seowards the church. Edward's attitude of pletely disregarding the church's influence was in lih his preferences and, in a sense, liberated him.
"Anyway, let's go bad rest for a while. We'll officially start shooting tomorrow!"
