Afternoon.
“Mister Joshua... why are we not filming in Norland?”
Fritt was sitting in his Klia Trading Company’s most-prided merchandise, the arcanotech vehicle.
This time around, the ride experience of the arcanotech vehicle was not that cozy. After arriving outside Norland’s city limits, the road became exceedingly bad.
When the arcanotech vehicle came to a stop, Fritt pulled back the curtains to look outside. He discovered that they’ve arrived at a forest bordering Norland.
“That’s because an actor is not suited to appear in the heart of Norland’s city district.”
Joshua pushed open the ‘classic automobile’ and walked out.
Both sides of the road were covered by trees. This was one of the main roads to Norland.
“Sin Demon?”
Fritt soon realized what Joshua meant. He looked to the forest and saw an enormous figure slowly walking out from the forest.
Even though the Sin Demon was wearing an extremely expensive looking human attire, Fritt’s three guards immediately and nervously placed their hands on their weapons and stepped before Fritt the moment they saw him.
Fritt also heard the sound of horses neighing. Those were the horses that followed after the arcanotech vehicle carrying goods.
“Mon...monster!”
“Oh Seven Gods!”
“There’s flames coming out from his mouth...”
The artisans employed by Fritt and came along the trip sounded extremely terrified.
To people that had never seen ‘Beauty and the Demon’ before, a Sin Demon’s was no less terrifying than a dragon.
Even Fritt, someone who had seen the movie, couldn’t help but feel fear from seeing a Sin Demon in the flesh.
Especially when that Sin Demon’s eyes swept past him. He felt like there was a humanoid lion standing before him, a lion that would flip over his arcanotech vehicle and consume him the very next moment!
Exactly how did he feel that this ‘demon prince’ was someone easy to get along with in the movie?
“Mister Fritt! You’ve employed us stating that we will only be building a house outside the city! You never told us we will encounter a monster like this!”
An artisan managed to calm down his horse. He shouted at Fritt who was still inside the arcanotech vehicle.
Fritt was silent. He was finally able to realize the difference between a movie and reality.
Those artisans were feeling very restless because of the Sin Demon. Fear began to spread through them.
Suddenly, a little girl popped her head out from the shoulder of the terrifying Sin Demon. She sneaked a peek at the foreigners.
“Big Cat, are they afraid of you?”
The little girl’s voice clearly reached the ears of all the people present. This included the artisans holding swords and hammers with shivering hands.
The Sin Demon seemed to be flustered by the appearance of the little girl. But, when he saw Joshua walking toward him, he immediately lowered his body.
“Your Highness... she is...”
Joshua raised his hand to indicate to Zenarth to keep calm. He turned around to look at the artisans.
“Could it be that you all have less courage than a little girl?” Joshua swept his gaze through the human artisans.
Hearing those words, even though many of the artisans were still afraid, there were some among them that recognized Zenarth to be the demon prince in ‘Beauty and the Demon.’
“I saw him at the Weissenasche Theater with my daughter!” said someone with a loud voice.
But, those sort of discussions did not persist for long. Fritt had suppressed the fear in his heart. He walked out the arcanotech device and started ordering the artisans to get to work.
“I did not employ you all to come here to discuss that monster. Unload the materials from the carriages!”
After being ordered by Fritt, the artisans began working. They started unloading the building materials from the carriages and began building a wooden house next to the road.
Due to the aid of magic, they were able to finish building a very fine little wooden house in a short period of time.
After all, the artisans employed by Klia were all the very best artisans in Norland.
“Mister Joshua... wouldn’t it be a bit... unreasonable for a shop to appear in the middle of an overgrown road like this?”
Fritt had seen Joshua’s script ahead of the filming. Even though he was not a fan of ‘Beauty and the Demon,’ he still felt the script to be very interesting.
Nevertheless, Fritt found some part of the script to be too unreasonable.
“A commercial is not a movie. I am advertising your goods, not presenting a reasonable story.”
Joshua watched as the artisans used their Order System magic to move the woods to their proper locations before assembling them together.
He couldn’t help but sigh at the fact that one must have credentials to even become a construction worker in this world.
It took the artisans over an hour to finish building their little house. On the house was a signboard that clearly read ‘Klia Alchemic Shop.’
With this, a roadside Klia Alchemic Shop appeared in the wild.
“The next step would be to fill the shop with your most prized merchandise,” said Joshua.
Although Fritt was feeling skeptical still, he ordered for his men to fill up the shelves of the store with alchemic goods.
With this, the empty shop transformed into a dazzling shop filled with all kinds of merchandise. Only a pile of knight armors were left on the two carriages Fritt used to transport goods with.
Joshua walked toward the knight armors. Using his hand with the imprint from the Duke of Bones, he touched some of the armors.
Soon, as if they were given souls, the armors started assembling. Seven fully armored knights appeared before Joshua. They were holding swords in their hands. A glint of crimson could be seen in the cracks of their helmets.
“A cheap trick,” said Joshua with a smile.
But, the stunned expressions from Fritt and the artisans seemed to be saying ‘bullshit!’
“Ynor, it’s your turn now.”
Joshua shouted at the other arcanotech vehicle. Soon, the door of the vehicle opened. Holding up his dress, Ynor walked out from the arcanotech vehicle and arrived before Zenarth.
“It’s... it’s been a while, Lord Zenarth,” Ynor was also slightly afraid when facing Zenarth.
But, the emergence of the ‘beautiful woman’ caused the little girl lying on Zenarth’s shoulder to show vigilance.
“Big Cat! Who is she?!” The little girl grabbed Zenarth’s shoulder and swelled up her cheeks to look at Ynor with hostility.
“My coworker. Elena... I have a job to do.”
Zenarth picked up the little girl and placed her on the ground. Then, he nodded at Joshua to indicate that he’s ready.
“Sure enough, children like you. That said, it’s something that shouldn’t happen to a vanguard of the Demon Realm’s Army.” Joshua walked over to Zenarth. Even though the little girl was also showing hostility toward Joshua, she was being very well-behaved.
“Your Highness... do you need me...”
“No, that’s not a bad thing, Zenarth.” Joshua stopped the Sin Demon. Then, he said, “Well then, it’s time to work... Your job this time will be filming a short film.”
