Chapter 1403 The original owner of the mirage, Idia's wish, the fiery little witch

The Dreamer Theater where director "Zossimus" is located.

A story is being told on stage.

The theater is in the tree house, and the story performed is the script that the director completed when he was inspired by the people who came to look for "parts".

A story about "the thief and the witch".

As a "director", "Zosimos" is a veritable lone commander. The entire stage performance, script writing, repairing mechanisms, making props, etc. are all done by him alone.

Although the Water Spirit was willing to assist him, it could only do so much.

So he is still short of actors.

On that day, he selected Kaeya, Klee, and Coral Palace Xinhai as actors, and Ying and Paimon as assistants. He performed the first script.

And today... is the second time.

Fixed the prop errors, mechanism jams, and other issues that occurred during the first stage process.

The desolate scene where "Miss Idia" was the only person in the audience has been fixed.

Although Idia often made critical comments such as "I don't know what's written in it" and "It's incomprehensible", she also gave him a lot of help with the script story, for which he was very grateful.

And Idia is also half his agent.

Now, he has sufficient staff such as Feligis, Ying and Paimon, His Majesty the King, Her Royal Highness the Queen, Her Royal Highness the Princess, the Minister of Law and many other audiences, as well as Miss Witch, Mr. Thief, and the Military Advisor as actors... He has reached the peak of his life.

Last time, His Majesty the King, Miss Healer, and Miss Magic Swordsman were not there and did not see the "performance".

This time, we must provide a sufficiently immersive experience for both audiences who have seen the film and those who have not.

"A long time ago, there was a great thief who lived in a country without light, where everyone suffered from darkness..."

The lights, actors, and props are in place.

The stage performance led by Zosimos is actually in the style of "shadow play", which uses "pre-made pictures" in reverse.

First, use the "pre-image" to make objects from the materials, and then make them part of the "pre-image". Then, the actors enter the "pre-image" to perform.

It was a bit unorthodox, and Miss Idia had to convince herself for a long time before she accepted Zosimos' idea.

"...a shooting star streaked across the sky..."

"...Where the meteor landed, the landforms changed dramatically, and the mountains were rocky. The journey was difficult..."

"…What appeared in the desert was not a meteor, but a girl dressed in white."

"..."

“…There is no so-called bright light there, but a fiery witch is waiting.”

Eula and Cole looked confused and doubted their own level of appreciation.

Zhen said, don't be confused, this is how the story is supposed to be.

Jiang Yi held his chin and took a bite of popcorn.

how to say……

In the words of Paimon, who has read the story once, the narrative is disordered, the characters are inexplicable, the lines are good at the beginning, but become more and more ordinary as time goes on, and the girl's reaction at the end is also wrong. But Idia likes this ordinary happy ending very much.

There are only three characters in the story.

The thief who wanted to save the dark kingdom and chased the meteor; the kingdom that originally lived on the waterfall, but the dynasty was overthrown and the regime changed, she and her people fled, and the girl in white appeared at the place where the meteor landed; and... the red witch who picked up the bottle with the light extinguished inside.

The witch's breath relit the bottle and gave it the ability to fulfill wishes, but the wish outside the bottle can only be fulfilled once, and after it is fulfilled, the flame inside the bottle will go out again. However, the wishes inside the bottle can be fulfilled many times, but they are limited to the bottle and cannot be taken out of the bottle.

So... this story is actually about Idiya's experience and the origin of the mirage bottle. It's just like what Idiya said, the director paid tribute to the structure of the famous desert novel "A Thousand Nights Tales" which led to a disordered narrative and many viewers couldn't understand it.

Not to mention, exploring the truth behind the story.

This story is a parody of history as interpreted by a fairy tale.

Those who understand will understand naturally, and those who don’t will find it confusing.

Now, even those who understand it are beginning to feel confused.

According to Jiang Yi's analysis, the great thief and the dark kingdom at the beginning should actually refer to Kanreya, and the meteor is Kanreya calling the twins. Then, the story immediately turns to the desert crystal nail punishment, and finally turns to the water kingdom on the waterfall. The old water god died and the new water god was born. The kingdom was shaken. In short, it is simply cutting up different stories and sewing some corpse parts together, which makes people confused.

The director said that the story was told with the help of Idia, so these stories that are difficult for ordinary people to know were probably provided by Idia, who had lived with the witch.

After the turmoil in the kingdom of the water god, the pure water elf, that is, the girl in white in the story, began to go into exile. She encountered many thorns, or dangers and difficulties along the way, and her body was covered with scars.

It probably refers to the original pilgrimage route to the sea of ​​nectar flowers.

The girl in white endured a lot of pain, but she didn't want to retreat, because she had made up her mind and had to keep moving forward. She wanted to find a lamp, cross the forest, and keep herself alive.

The forest may be a metaphor for thorns, difficulties, and monsters on the road, or it may directly refer to a primeval forest beyond the sea of ​​nectar flowers. The lamp may be the flame of wisdom or the power of courage, the motivation to live, or it may refer to the old water god.

The girl in white, who was about to reach her destination, encountered the greatest difficulties and despair, so she prayed to the sky, saying that if someone could help her here, she would give everything in return.

It was the Flame Red Witch who heard her wish.

The witch eliminated the thorns, or dangers, that made the girl despair, and the girl was able to continue moving forward. In front of her, she did not find a bright light, but she saw the witch waiting for her there.

The witch sympathized with the girl and handed the bottle to her.

So, the owner of this mirage is Alice.

What does it mean to invite Klee to a friend's house? In fact, it is her own home. Of course, it may also be that Alice thinks that she has given the bottle to Editha, and Editha is the owner of the bottle, but Editha does not think so. She only thinks of herself as the manager, and Alice is the owner of the mirage.

So, why did Alice give this bottle to herself in name? Was it because she could see what Edith was thinking and wanted me to give Edith some advice?

Jiang Yi lightly skipped over his actions of reviving the desert and intercepting the treasure. Ah! The "Mirage Jade Box" in the bottle is his, but the bottle is indeed Alice's. Picking up someone else's house and thinking it's your own is really shameful! Fortunately, I just kept it for a while because I was afraid that the residents in the house would be injured.

Continue the story.

The scene shifts to some time before the girl met the witch.

The fiery witch was lively and liked to travel. While resting in the oasis, she picked up a beautiful bottle from the crescent-shaped lake.

She is a great witch who can fulfill people's wishes, and she turned the bottle into an equally great bottle. However, the function of fulfilling wishes is limited to the bottle.

At that time, Alice had probably met the Eight Yunshou and picked up the Mirage Jade Box. She used magic to create the original core. The bottle actually looked like the silver bottle left behind when the sealed town spirit disappeared.

In desert stories, town spirits are also spirits that can make wishes.

After playing with the bottle for a while, the fiery witch said, "Oh, this bottle! It's a little bit inferior as a toy, but it's acceptable as a shelter!" Then she blew into the bottle, turning the bottle into a one-time thing that could fulfill wishes outside the bottle.

In the first performance, the bottle prop used was a real bottle left by Zosimos, but it was actually a gift of a lamp. When the witch actress Koli blew air, the fire inside would ignite, and the bottle would light up and become as fiery red as the witch.

For this performance, since the "parts" had already been sent out, Zosimos used the "pre-made picture" to make a similar one.

Yan Fei nodded. This time the performance went very smoothly. There were no more prop errors or problems with the mechanism not opening. However, the script had not been modified or improved at all.

In the story, the flaming witch tells the story of how she picked up the bottle and then disappears.

The girl in white made a wish to the bottle in her hand, wanting to go to a place where no one could find her... As for the rest, she hadn't thought about it yet. And the bottle fulfilled her wish.

Hmm! This escapist character fits Idia very well.

In reality, she probably made the same wish.

She came to the desert where no one could approach her, but her wish seemed to be ineffective because the thief chasing the shooting star found her.

This big thief.

Judging from the thief's eye patch, Jiang Yi felt that the prototype of the thief might be the story of Dain, who also wore an eye patch, or the story of Kaeya's ancestor.

But this confusing narrative makes it difficult for him to clearly explain who is in this story!

I also heard that the director rushed out the last part of the story on that day.

Maybe it's just made up and there's no deep meaning anymore.

After hearing the thief's wish, the girl said that she could let the thief take the bottle. At the same time, she pointed out the flaw of the bottle, which was that the wish could only be fulfilled if it was inside the bottle.

The good thief who came from a land without light, with a strong character and often doing good deeds, made a wish. He wanted "light".

Thus, "light" was born in the bottle. Although the light was only in the bottle, it could pass through the bottle wall and reach anywhere in the world.

"It's a pretty good ending, right?" Idia said from the side.

The wishes that can be realized in the mirage can only be realized in the mirage, but those who have come to the mirage to experience another possible life and then left, are just like the thief who has found the light that can penetrate the wall.

In the Heart of the Coral Palace, Kaia actually understood the metaphor in the story when he heard it for the first time.

So, this "thief" actually refers to the travelers in the desert!

The kingdom without light is actually the original life without light.

Double hidden meaning.

Although the story of this script is confusing, it is still exquisite when you think about it carefully.

In the end, the dazzling light may also illuminate the way forward for people outside, allowing them to successfully pursue their dreams and wishes.

"Then I can't let anyone down here. Although I don't know the situation of the other prototypes..." Jiang Yi said with a smile, "But those three brothers are already on the road to their dreams."

"Xumeru will lay energy tracks in the desert oasis and build energy trains. Although they are not flying cars, they can also carry people to various places."

"The three brothers, whose sick younger brother has been cured, applied together and became engineers for this project."

"In the future, maybe I'll have the connections and experience to help someone restore the real whirring car."

It has actually been a long time since the three brothers came to the Mirage Realm. Over the years, they have become more mature and stable. They have had quarrels during this period, but their friendship remains the same.

Jiang Yi said that he didn't know the situation of other prototypes, but he actually knew a few of them. When the scholar Maimon came to the Mirage Realm, Seno had not yet become the Grand Disciplinary Officer. If he wanted to now, he actually had the opportunity to participate in a celebration.

As for Mr. Zosimos, who has dreamed of becoming a director since he was a child but has only strong hands-on skills, he is also improving his story-writing skills in Fontaine, so we calculated his life and found that he can now use jade slips to build models and create special effects, and has embarked on the forefront of research in the new era of directors.
