It’s not that he felt sorry for the small amounts of money that the Blood of Wall sect got as a share of the profits.
Instead, he noticed the Blood of Vol teachings videotapes that were being peddled along with the portable illusion device.
If we do not occupy the cultural and ideological position ourselves, it will be occupied by the enemy.
The Blood of Vol had little room to spread in Aundair, but the Silver Flame in Thrane was different.
"It looks like it's not just the Ninefold Path competition. We also need to shoot some phantom stories that can promote our Aundair as soon as possible. By the way! Mooreban, does your apprentice Carl have any ideas?"
Looking up at the sky, March sighed, then turned to Mooreban and asked.
Mooreban's face twitched twice slightly. He felt a sense of crisis that his tower master was always thinking about his disciple.
"Karl plans to ask his friends from the illusion school to help create an illusion story called animation. I think we can do something similar, or... find real people to shoot an illusion show?"
"Then what should we film to make the people of Aundair feel more like a part of the country and have a greater sense of honor? The plays at Vinarn University are too literary, and the general public won't like them."
"this……"
Unable to answer the tower master's question, sweat broke out on Mooreban's forehead.
After staring at Moore class for more than ten seconds, the tower master tilted his head and said, "Tower Spirit, call Karl, the second-year student, over here."
"Okay, Tower Master."
As the steady voice sounded, a teleportation light gate suddenly appeared in this space.
Carl walked out from the other side of the door with a skeptical expression.
"Tower Master! Teacher! Are you looking for me?"
Looking at the group not far away, Karl asked nervously.
He thought it was the news about Bob and Bourbon transcribing the SQ videotape.
But before he could help the two admit their mistakes, Mooreban told Carl about the Blood of Wall using videotapes to spread its doctrine and that the tower master wanted to shoot some phantom dramas.
"Oh! That's easy! Why not just film a fantasy drama depicting the defense of Thelioste?"
Thurriost is an ancient Aundairic city captured by Thrane during the Last War, and ceded to Thrane in the Treaty of Thronehold at the war's end.
This caused the relationship between Aundair and Thrane to deteriorate to the extreme, and it was for this reason that Queen Aundair chose to reconcile with Eludin more than 20 years ago.
Compared to Eruden who only wants to keep the farmland, Thrane who is eroding Aundair with faith is the real threat.
Until now, there are still two forces in the city of Selyost: the Returners and the Converts.
The former strives to return to Aundair's rule, while the latter hopes that Thrane's Church of the Silver Flame will completely take over the city.
The two sides fought fiercely and even hired adventurers to attack each other.
"Your apprentice is much better than you in this area!"
After bluntly criticizing Moore, Marchi stroked his beard and felt that this was a great idea.
But just as he was about to instruct the tower spirit to invite the tower master of the Tower of Illusion to discuss this matter, Carl spoke again: "Tower Master, if possible, I think this drama should be as realistic as possible."
"Realistic?"
Frowning, Marchi couldn't figure it out for a moment.
Aundair was at a disadvantage almost throughout the entire defense of Theliost. If this was filmed according to a realistic story line, wouldn't it just boost others' morale and destroy one's own prestige?
Seeing the tower master's dissatisfaction and doubt, Carl coughed dryly and continued:
"It is 'trying' to be realistic. After all, this is a semi-official fantasy drama. If it is too fake, it may damage the official credibility."
"Yes! That's right! The credibility of the country and the government is the most important. Fantasy dramas shot by the public can be exaggerated, but official ones can't. So where do you think we should focus?"
"Little man!"
This answer made March silent for a while.
“Yes, things are for ordinary people to see, so of course they have to be as close to their real lives as possible. Although education has been popularized, how many people know who was the general who died on the battlefield in order to retake Thuriost?
Without understanding, there is little basis for empathy, and the filmed works will not be directly accepted by the public. "
If it were the Internet age, producers could also hire people to provide popular science information to help the public understand more about the background of the film.
But this method cannot be used in Khorvaire at present.
Because the labor cost is too high.
Didn't you see that Blood of Wall has started to preach with videotapes? "Okay, I roughly know how to shoot it. When the sample is ready, I will ask you to check it."
"Then I'll take my leave!"
Seeing that the tower master seemed to have an idea, Carl tactfully left the place through the teleportation light gate.
…
"Were you just called away by your tower master?"
In Carl's dormitory, Nia looked at Carl who returned from the teleportation light portal with a surprised tone.
"Yeah, we discussed the phantom drama for a while. Okay, let's get back to the point. The key points of making a small floating cannon are..."
Before Carl went to the tower master, he was discussing with Nia about equipping the Iron Guards with floating guns.
Carl became alert because the freeze ray was almost ineffective on the Skeleton Boar King.
So he dismantled V's two pulse cannons and instead made it two larger and stronger mechanical hands.
It was inspired by the gorilla arm prosthesis in "Cyberpunk 2077". Carl used the technology of Thunder Fist and enhanced weapon infusion to modify it.
In fact, Carl also wanted to make a mantis arm or a single molecule line, but the Iron Guard's attack skills came from the bound body, and Carl didn't know those two weapons.
As for boxing skills, Carl has practiced them for quite some time in the dream world and now he has quite good skills.
"Acid splash, fire arrows, freeze rays, and lightning pulls, are you going to implement all these tricks on the floater? Isn't that too much?"
Picking up one of Carl's design drafts, Nia had some opinions about it.
"I also want to convert the magic artilleryman's force field crossbow into a floating cannon. It doesn't matter if it's a little less powerful, the main thing is that it's comprehensive enough."
If Carl's design can be realized, it can make up for V's weakness of being unable to attack in motorcycle state.
"Well! If you can reduce the power, then you can consider it!"
Nodding slightly, Nia picked up a piece of draft paper and began to try to draw the magic pattern.
She doesn't pay much attention to mechanical things, but she is very good at magical things.
Soon, a somewhat crude magic pattern was drawn.
Carl took a look, then went to the yard and started processing.
