Chapter 492 Grand Duke Vladimir: When I woke up, the sky fell!
The first performance of Scarlet Night at the Frost Moon Kingdom National Theatre was a great success.
After the performance, some audience members applauded, some cheered, and some even shed tears.
The person in charge of the propaganda team was somewhat uneasy.
Because many of these people who reacted violently were arranged by her according to Lord Rand's request.
Fortunately, apart from these audience "actors", the rest of the reactions were pretty good.
Rand continued to listen to opinions and make improvements, with the help of real drama masters and excellent actors.
It’s time for the curtain call ceremony.
The photo crystal was turned off and the actors went to the stage for interviews.
This was another tearful "performance".
The king highly praised the performance, included it in the classic repertoire of the Shimotsuki Kingdom National Theater, and allowed the troupe to tour the country.
For a time, the discussion of "Scarlet Night" in Frost Moon Royal City soared.
Then, it’s time to tour.
The pattern is simple.
The staff of the Sanctuary's Publicity Department will bring two guards and use the crystal to broadcast "Scarlet Night" in various places in the Frost Moon Kingdom.
Of course, this requires authorization from the local nobles first.
Now that "Scarlet Night" has been a huge success in the royal city and has been widely discussed, coupled with Rand's overwhelming publicity, there must be no noble who would disagree with the touring broadcast of "Scarlet Night".
After the premiere at the location arranged by the local nobles, it will be broadcast in some more economically down-to-earth places.
For example, some open-air squares, some open spaces for commercial gatherings, or even roadsides.
The nobles would not want to sit together with the lowly commoners to watch this photo show, and Rand would not force the two sides to sit together.
But it is still possible to give civilians some viewing opportunities occasionally.
Now Rand has issued a major bounty in the Adventurer's Guild, offering a reward of 1,000 gold coins to investigate and thwart the vampire's conspiracy.
It must be mentioned here that in this world, unless it is a war or other special period, one gold coin is approximately equal to 30,000 yuan in Rand's previous life. 1,000 gold coins are equivalent to 30 million yuan.
This is definitely an incomparable fortune.
Now Rand hopes that there will be a brave warrior who can stand up and thwart the evil conspiracy of the vampires, and then he will offer the bonus as promised.
Oh, and I must also mention here that Rand is not the only one who will pay the bounty. The king and the nobles will provide part of it, and the Adventurer's Guild will also provide part of it.
If Rand tries harder, maybe the royal family of the Kingdom of Lunsa will be willing to provide part of it.
In short, they spread the word about the dangers of vampires and then solicited investment. In the end, even if a warrior really thwarted the vampire's conspiracy, the bounty that Rand would have to pay would probably not be much.
…
The Dukedom of the Moon, the Crescent Moon Territory, and the Adventurer's Guild buildings.
At Rand's request, there is now a curtain here, on which "Scarlet Night" is playing.
In this world, drama has always been an entertainment that only the nobility can enjoy.
Commoners, and many adventurers, will not have the opportunity to watch the drama.
Even among the knights, there were not many opportunities to watch plays.
And now, after countless revisions and rehearsals, the high-quality works recorded in the Crystal Records are being played almost for free.
The screen of the Adventurer's Association building is not very big, and because it is not light-proof, the projection of the photo crystal on the screen is not very clear.
But it still caught the adventurers' attention.
No expense was spared in this performance; the actors and music, the script and props, were all top-notch.
How could these people who had never seen a play not be impressed? The cleverness of the brave, the power of the nobles, the wealth of the merchants, the strength of the vampires.
The curtain on the screen closed and opened again and again, and the plot scenes were ups and downs.
In the end, the brave man defeated the evil ancient vampire, obtained the wealth rewarded by the king, married the princess, and became a nobleman of the country.
This kind of plot is indeed a bit corny, but the orthodox plot is the most desirable.
Who doesn’t want to become a noble, own territory, have countless wealth, and marry a beautiful princess?
So, the current princess of the Frost Moon Kingdom was married to Taner.
But it doesn’t matter. When the need arises, Marcus can adopt a daughter from his family, or a girl from the royal family, to be a princess.
The show is over.
At this time, the Adventurer's Guild building, which had become unusually quiet, finally returned to its former bustle.
Of course, what these adventurers are discussing now is no longer where there are lucrative tasks. They all think of the super task that was, and still is, posted in the most prominent position on the adventurer's task board.
Investigate and foil the evil plot of vampires.
Location, Frost Moon Kingdom, Lunsa Kingdom.
Reward: 1000 gold coins.
It's simple and unpretentious, but the rewards are so generous that they're dizzying.
At this time, the adventurers who had just finished watching the drama "Scarlet Night" were excited.
Of course, the adventurers are very clear about their own abilities. A mission that even Lord Rand requires a huge reward for is definitely not something that ordinary people can accomplish.
You may encounter higher-level professionals, or even top-level professional enemies along the way.
Maybe you’ll have to explore dusty ruins, investigate evil nobles, make some companions, or shed some tears or sing some songs.
Defeat the bandits, clear the monsters, fight the dragons, obtain the treasures, and finally, at the end of the journey, maybe they can complete the task like the heroes in the play "Scarlet Night" and receive the reward from Lord Rand.
The two young adventurers stood up from their seats.
I looked at the task requirements carefully and then walked out.
They still have the task of clearing out the goblins to complete.
More adventurers who had finished watching the play went to the front desk of the association building to complete their tasks and then left.
But there were also many adventurers who entered the association and looked up to see the drama that was about to be replayed.
Most adventurers would not immediately get excited and embark on a journey to try to complete this "ultimate commission".
But almost all adventurers who have watched the drama will pay more attention to all the details about vampires in their later life.
Rand and Olenna, both wearing black cloaks, leaned against a corner of the Adventurer's Guild.
Rand, in the black cloak, approached Olenna. "This is the fifth time I've watched this play since it was filmed."
"I think it's pretty good," Olenna commented.
"Do you think there will be a brave man born to destroy the vampires?" Rand lowered his voice.
"I think it's possible." Olena blinked.
This world is big and has given birth to countless legendary figures.
There are countless legendary adventurers.
Bards on the roadside or in taverns would sometimes sing the stories of these legendary figures.
The world is big, and in its relatively long history, there have certainly been many vampires like Grand Duke Vladimir or cult leaders like Rand Cameron.
There are also some strong people with a sense of justice.
Although Rand was not sure whether there would be a brave man who could defeat the vampires in this era.
Rand is a cloud player of the game "Deep Moon", and he can't really say that he knows much about the subsequent plot.
Anyway, the game was still in operation, and although Grand Duke Vladimir's sacrifice was successful, he certainly was not able to destroy or rule the world.
I just don't know who will save the world? Maybe it's the protagonist of the world, Ellie, Elsa, or even Quirrell, who has a good relationship with him but is nowhere to be found.
Of course it could be someone else.
Rand had no idea about this. He was trying to take action to deal with the upcoming Grand Duke Vladimir's sacrifice, which was obviously not far away.
Maybe, the protagonist who saves the world will be Rand?
A cult leader saves the world, it's a pretty good show.
By the way, can you give him some rewards, such as giving all the territories of the Kingdom of Lensa or the Kingdom of Bolun to Rand?
Rand stopped thinking about it and said to Olenna, "What should we do next?"
Now the two of them were obviously on a secret visit, observing the adventurers' reactions to the theatrical performance.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Now that the results seem good, we can go back to work. There is still a lot of work left for Rand.
"Wait." Olenna whispered, motioning for Rand to look forward.
Rand looked in the direction Olenna pointed and saw a dozen young but energetic-looking boys and girls planning how to defeat the vampires.
Rand smiled and said, "They have great potential?"
Olenna nodded.
"So we sponsor it?"
“How would you like to fund it?”
Rand thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Arrange for them to win a prize, called the Starting Prize for New Adventurers in the Den?"
"You always come up with strange ideas like this." Olenna commented seriously, "Our next task is to hold a meeting to discuss and arrange for some people to go to the Elven Forest to investigate."
Rand rubbed his scalp. Things were really happening one after another.
The current vampire problem has not yet been solved, and the Elf Forest has also broken its nearly 100 years of tranquility.
But Rand actually thought that it was good for the Elf Forest to be a little chaotic, as he needed the elves anyway.
"Let's go." Rand in black robe walked forward first, followed by Olenna.
Olenna had been following Rand for a long time, about... eight years? Olenna claimed to be a serious person, but she didn't dislike Rand who always did some strange things. Olenna was even attracted to him.
…
At the same time, the elves were also in a meeting.
Elder Nidhogg made a lot of arrangements to confirm whether Rand was a trustworthy man.
Some powerful elves also know this.
As a result, they now obtained information that was somewhat difficult to understand.
It is not the form of the intelligence that is difficult to understand, but its content.
The higher-ranking elves among these elves repeatedly confirmed the contents of the letter and concluded that there was no way the letter could be a forgery.
Damn it.
Duke Rand of the Moon Phase is indeed a man who keeps his promise and releases people as he says.
But what happened to the Elf Forest? The Elf Forest has been closed for hundreds of years, and most elves stay in the Elf Forest without exploring or communicating outside.
Those elves who followed Elder Nidhogg to carry out the mission were indeed relatively more familiar with the outside world.
But being judged as being corrupted by the outside world and in need of judgment, what the hell is this?
These elves do more or less think that the Elf Forest is a bit too conservative.
But at least the vast majority of them still remain vigilant against humans and loyal to the Elf Forest.
The group that Rand released back to the Elf Forest should be the ones who hated humans more and were more loyal to the Elf Forest.
This makes the elves, who are currently living in a foreign land, rather confused.
Is the Elven Forest really so closed off? Or is there some political conflict going on inside? The elves don't know.
After learning the news, Rand actually agreed to release some more elves to investigate and rescue the elves who were captured and tried.
But Nidhogg did not act rashly.
One reason is that the distance from the holiday villa to the Elf Forest is long. When the letter is received, the elves may have already suffered a disaster, and it is basically too late to save them.
There is no more information at the moment. If we act on our own without knowing the information, it may obviously cause more elves to get into trouble.
Elder Nidhogg frowned and sighed, "Everyone, do you have any ideas?"
Most of the elves in the field had frowned and remained silent.
At this time, a younger elf said, "Do you want to... ask Vanilla and Wind Chime?"
…
Endless purgatory.
In the endless darkness, scarlet eyes opened.
This is a more peaceful area in Purgatory, chosen as residence by powerful ancient vampires.
There is endless fighting in Purgatory, and there is no food for vampires.
In order to reduce consumption, Grand Prince Vladimir spent most of his time in deep sleep.
Now that the scheduled date was approaching, Grand Prince Vladimir was spending more and more time awake.
He reached a cooperation with the Blue King, a human who longed for immortality. However, as a shrewd vampire, he certainly would not pin all his hopes on an untrustworthy human.
He and the Blue King only have a cooperative relationship, and cannot be said to be a reliable or mutually trusting ally.
Grand Duke Vladimir received intelligence from a vampire follower today.
This made Grand Duke Vladimir, who had lived for a long time and had never changed his expression even when faced with a catastrophe, feel a little shaken.
The plan was exposed.
It was even made into a drama and widely publicized.
Vladimir has to collect mysterious items, complete evil rituals, return to the main world, etc...
Isn't this his plan?
He only revealed part of the plan to the Blue King.
The Azure King could certainly guess what he was trying to do, but beyond that, nothing more.
The rest of his subordinates or blood servants did not know the full picture of his plan. After all, a plan that had been prepared for a long time would be more likely to succeed the more secretive it was.
but!
Now that the plan has been made public, it feels like the whole world will know about it soon.
No one knows how humans got this information, and it seems that after it was made into a drama, a lot of people believe it.
It's a ghost!
