A strange world

Chapter 764 Chapter 161. Acting

"Go forward, go forward, okay! Put it here!"

The merchant directed the orcs to pile wooden boxes filled with goods in the warehouse.

Not far away, workers set up scaffolding outside the theater and were busy painting the exterior walls, renovating floor tiles, and repairing the commercial street.

The blood slaves of the Stuart family patrolled the perimeter, blocking curious vampires.

They will serve as guards for a long time in the future. The blacksmith shop has not yet prepared the silver-plated bullets, and the magic artillery cannot hit the fast-moving vampires, so there is no need to station the Musket Legion.

"Sir Annan, the theater will be put into use within three days!"

The worker captain, who retired because he had three fingers cut off in the war with the Mad Dog Archduke, assured Annan with a strong soldier style.

"Well done." Annan nodded.

The worker captain returned to his team, and the workers were quarreling.

"Boss, if we work at night, does it count as overtime pay?" A worker pointed at the full moon above his head and teased.

"Get out!"

"Hey Hey Hey……"

On the other side, workers lying on the ground cutting out uneven floor tiles were also whispering to each other.

"It's amazing, those vampires are actually protecting us... When will our commercial street open to hell?"

"Isn't it already driven to hell?" said a worker who knew some inside information. "Miss Evelin's neighbor's wife's father's grandson's good friend Goblin said that the devils are interested in "The Fall of the Wizard's Tower"."

"I mean we are stationed in hell." The worker said with longing.

"You must be crazy. The rivers in hell are full of lava. Why would you go to hell to drink?"

"We don't necessarily have to go." The worker shrugged, "Maybe Lord Annan will trick a group of fire elements and come back."

At this time, a noise in the distance made the workers raise their heads.

It seemed like there was a group of vampires protesting there, but they were blocked by the blood slaves.

The worker captain went over to take a look, but came back shortly and said, "Don't worry, those vampires won't just protest if they dare to mess with us."

They continued to work, and the sound of knocking and the noise in the distance were like a natural sonata.

…

"Protest? What's the reason?"

"They believe that magical images are...human things and should not be spread in the Land of Eternal Rest..."

Annan guessed that the content of the protest was not as tactful as Dracula said.

“Are our theaters affected?”

"I don't know yet, Master Annan, but I guess so..."

Not long after, news came from the three cities one after another. Some vampire families used some excuses to close the theater. Haier City and Rice City drove the troublemakers out of the city because they fell in favor of the Stewart family, but Phil City Unable to withstand the pressure, the theater was closed with excuses.

"Then turn it off. The ones who are most anxious are not us, but the viewers who want to see the magical images. Let's wait a few days first."

"Okay, Master Annan, but Phil City also took away all the money."

"How dare you steal my money!"

Annan was truly angry for the first time since he came to the Blood Parliament.

He gathered Count Pedro and the epic blood slaves and went to Phil Town to suppress the bastard who dared to take his money.

The Curtis family was an accomplice in shutting down the theater, but when Annan arrived with the two epics, they simply spit out the money looted from the theater.

Annan scanned the gold coins in the wooden box and roughly got the number: "Only more than 700 gold coins?"

"Uh... there's another box..."

The patriarch of the Curtis family realized something and asked his clan members to bring another heavy box of money.

"Actually, it's 1,700..."

Annan glanced at the two cash boxes and said indifferently: "I personally brought two epics here to punish those who dare to cause trouble for me... Are you going to make our trip in vain?"

The patriarch of the Curtis family took a deep breath and forced a smile: "Of course not, I will offer another 300 gold coins to each person..."

Another cash box was brought over.

"Actually, that's not what I meant..."

Annan said, no longer caring about their fault of looting the theater.

"We should compensate..." The patriarch of the Curtis family could hardly hold back his smile.

"So, do you know where the people who are causing trouble for me are?"

"I don't know..." The patriarch of the Curtis family shook his head.

Annan didn't believe it. He stared at the old patriarch and whispered: "Your family has suffered a huge loss, but will you be willing to be the only one who has suffered a huge loss..."

A few minutes later, Annan came out of the Curtis family with two epics.

"Let's go and see who dares to cause trouble for us."

Annan, who appeared to be bringing two epics, but actually brought four epics and a legend, came to the address provided by the Curtis family and caught the group of Phil City nobles who were having a banquet.

Dispersing the guests, Annan left only the culprits...

"who are you!?"

Annan sighed: "Don't you know who I am?"

"Are you that human? What are you going to do!"

"I should ask you this, what did you do?"

Several vampires looked at each other and remained silent.

"idiot."

Annan cursed softly.

They looked up and glared. Under the pressure of the two counts, they did not dare to resist, but when did a human dare to insult them...

"You still don't admit that you are stupid? Are you too young to know how the Scarlet Queen behaves? If it were her before, you would have become blood slaves... who drove you to hide behind and let you die. They take advantage of it, if you are not stupid, who is?"

Not bothering to waste time with them, Annan took these guys back to the Stewart family, left a sentence "Do you think they care whether you live or die" and continued busy filming.

Phil City Theater resumed its film industry, and his energy returned to "500 Years of Love".

This is just a test, and the enemies of the Scarlet Queen will not let it go. Annan was worried that the vampires who were actors would also cause trouble.

Fortunately, their tasks are different. The vampires protesting outside are to prevent the spread of magical images, and the vampires who join the crew are to find out the reality of the Scarlet Queen.

Late that night...or maybe noon, Annan knocked on the Scarlet Queen's bedroom door.

"Queen, how much strength have you recovered?"

The Scarlet Queen raised her hand, and the faint scarlet lingered between her hands... It was probably similar to Annan's first encounter with Wood.

Annan told the Queen about the outside world's actions and proposed to perform a play.

"Let's use that blood moon again..."

The next day, Annan helped the Scarlet Queen to the theater.

The vampires had different expressions and lowered their heads along with the others.

Then, the epic blood slave fell in front of the Scarlet Queen, saying that he accidentally let go of Grand Duke Borodia's spy.

The Scarlet Queen stared at it indifferently, and the scarlet moon suddenly appeared behind her. The kneeling blood slave was suddenly engulfed in a ball of flames that looked like flowing blood, and howled, frightening the unsuspecting crowd.

When the flame disappeared with the scarlet moon, the epic blood slave had turned into a twitching black coal.
