crush the rich

Yin Lian took the playback equipment to jump around the world to steal time, and watched all the official photos recommended by the team leader, and learned a lot from them.While thinking about the practical application of this, she returned to Matil.

Black Sage has read all the scripts and materials.Although he is an archmage, he can't break out of Matil's restrictions, and his resistance to entertainment activities is still very small, and he hasn't even read a few novels. He also translated some of the charm of the original text with the limited vocabulary combination of Matil's mainland, and many rhetorical techniques used in it were not even used by a few people in Matil, and he was immediately shocked.

The black sage asked in disbelief: "You wrote this?"

Yin Lian naturally wouldn't be greedy for the achievements of heaven, so he replied: "No, I asked a capable person to write it."

The black sage wanted to ask who the capable man was, but suppressed the thought.Yin Lian is eloquent, thoughtful and convincing about the so-called gods, but the black sage never believes it, at least not completely.

Although it has been so many years, but there is only such a little girl, the black sage still doesn't feel that he can fully see through.

When they met for the first time, Yin Lian claimed to be an envoy of God.At that time, even if she was said to be the envoy of the goddess of life, the black sage didn't believe it.The little girl is indeed unique, but compared to her mental tenacity, her physical strength is too fragile.What kind of god would choose such a character who could even be called a child as an envoy?

The black sage is not an ordinary believer who is easily fooled outside. The longer he has been in contact with Yin Lian, although he has discovered more and more strange things about her, but he has also discovered more and more flaws.

At first, the black sage thought that she was a puppet pushed out by some wild sect, but later he thought that she was just an ordinary, clever and ambitious young man. Maybe he was born in a wealthy family, but now he has nothing to rely on.But the various "miracles" she brought denied these speculations, proving that there was a background behind Yin Lian.

He can't say that he hasn't been vigilant about the power behind Yin Lian, but as far as it is concerned, she has never done any harm to the Magic Association, so he temporarily suppressed this doubt, which is actually emotional pressure. beyond rationality.

He walked alone all his life, and even a talented female mage couldn't warm his cold heart.Because in this world, mages who survived the thorny siege of the Holy City, regardless of gender, often have the same cold, cruel, and selfish hearts.Maybe the next generation of mages will be better, but for their generation, everything is doomed.

One piece of ice cannot warm another piece of ice.

To be honest, Yin Lian herself is far from the image in the eyes of believers—she is cunning, decisive, and ruthless, and she is far from being as pure and kind as the image she portrays.But under the heavy means, she seems to be unscrupulous, but in fact she always sticks to her bottom line and principles that are not stubborn.But in the soul that looks a bit too scheming no matter how you look at it, there is a heart that laughs and scolds without taboo, is unbridled and free but yearns for the light inexplicably.

Yearning for the light.

The black sage has always suspected that Yin Lian's actual age does not match her physical age. He even suspects that she may be a mage of his time, but because of some taboo experiment, her physical body has undergone unpredictable changes.Of course, it may be intentional - after all, her current shell is too beautiful, and women can do anything for beauty.

But later he denied such an idea, because Yin Lian really didn't care enough about her beauty - she was ruthless to her enemies, but even more ruthless to herself.This girl has a heroic temperament, and the black sage has no doubt that if necessary, she will even be cruel enough to disfigure herself.

For such a ruthless little girl, if it is said that her growth experience was carefree and smooth sailing, the black sage would not believe it.But her scheming optimism and good-heartedness, though unsuitable for herself, are strangely contagious.

Black Sage thought, she must have had a very special experience.

He actually had some nostalgia for such pity.

As a teacher, as a student, he sat at the desk with Yin Lian, talking about the Church of the Gods, the Mage Association, how to treat civilians and prisoners of war, how to deal with the enemies in this world, and how to open the minds of the people... He could even mistakenly think that the sun is gentle , the years are quiet and good.

Even though there are constant disputes on the mainland, the black sage seems to have found his home.If possible, he is willing to continue this kind of life forever, and is willing to say that all the loneliness and solitude in the past are far away from him.If one day they are destined to be separated, he also hopes that Yin Lian can always live on like this firmly and without doubt, even without inheriting his own will - because he can see that the future in the eyes of the girl is far better than his. Everything imaginable is beautiful.

It was a world he had never seen before, but he wanted to see it no matter what.

However, he is also vigilant, Yin Lian's home has never been Matil.Where did she come from and where is she going?The real mission given to her by the Goddess of Life is to bring vitality and happiness to this continent, or is it something else?

He even felt that the so-called master-slave relationship between the goddess of life and Yin Lian... is far from that simple.Her so-called "mother" is actually just a prop for her to achieve her goal.

He couldn't help thinking: What exactly do you want?

But he didn't ask, nor did he question the true identity of this "capable man".

He asked: "Is this going to find bards to sing around?"

Yin Lian suddenly laughed, and said, "Of course not." She thought for a while, and said, "First of all, we must find a way to select those natural actors and golden voices from everyone."

The black sage was stunned because he didn't understand her stalk, and repeated these two words: "Actor...and a golden voice?"

Yin Lian explained.

The black sage thought for a while and said: "It's okay to be an actor. People who really sing well are either nobles or serving nobles. There are very few sages, because there are not many mages here. Caring too much about art and music."

Yin Lian listened, pondered for a while, and felt that this situation was normal.How can poor civilians have the time and mood to learn to sing?On weekdays, it is already very strenuous to figure out where the next meal will come from.

But music is the most natural and inalienable free entertainment, and poverty cannot deprive a person of the right to sing, so Yin Lian believes that there must still be many untapped golden voices.What's more, ordinary civilians can still go to the tavern to listen to the singing of a group of bards - although many times their singing is a few tunes repeated over and over again, but the most important thing is this way of contact.

Under her insistence, the Church of Life and the Magic Association soon released corresponding news, claiming to select candidates who are good at singing and willing to perform in front of people.Not only the capital of the sages and the holy city, but also other countries and cities, after discussing with the local lords, launched a ten-day registration period.

This registration period is staggered, early and late, so that after the registration list is collected, Yin Lian will go directly to each city through the teleportation array, and will be selected in shifts.Yin Lian didn't arrange any false prize money for the competition, which was completely unsuitable for Matil's national conditions.She directly released the general treatment that the selected performers will give—one gold coin per month, and after the official performance, performance subsidies and rewards that may be obtained based on personal contributions.

The standard of living of Matil civilians is very low, how low is it?Some people have never touched such things as coins in their entire lives, and they live like people in primitive society.

Therefore, although the income of a gold coin is worthless to a mage, it is already a dream-like treatment for a commoner.

Three days before the news was sent out, Holy City was the first to respond, and a total of hundreds of people signed up.Don't look at the small number of these hundreds of people - due to the limitation of bread tree production, the population of the Holy City is only [-], which is already quite high.

By the end of the ten days, the number of people had even exceeded a thousand.Those who signed up may not be good at acting and singing, some are just tempted by the salary, while others just want to join in the fun and try their luck.

When the time came, Yin Lian directly requisitioned the square in front of the Magic Association and held an open selection.

More than 1000 people gathered in the square, and there were thousands of people crowded around. It can almost be said that they all came out to watch the selection competition. The grand event was quite grand in terms of the social situation at this time, comparable to the large-scale competitions several times a year. It's a festival.

If it wasn't for Yin Lian who didn't interrupt the various operations and labors of the Life Church in the City of Sages, there might be more than this few people.

Although during the church's internal discussions, some people asked Yin Lian if he wanted to treat this day as a festival and give everyone a day off, but Yin Lian was quite cold and did not agree.

If they can't bear this, then from now on, they will have to endure even greater temptations every day, so don't they have to work?

But she is not without a little flexibility.

She ordered that in the future, when working on large-scale festivals or holidays, those who work on that day can receive an extra copper coin - since the rise of the Church of Life, ordinary civilians have more ways to spend coins, far more than food, clothing, housing and transportation , so these extra salaries have suppressed most people's gossip.

As for the rest of the people who will be tempted by this big excitement anyway because they haven't had any entertainment activities for a year, Yin Lian also made a point of venting, saying: "There is nothing worth joining in the fun in the current selection. In the future, there will be wonderful performances that you have never seen before, but you will need to charge money. Why don’t you make good money now, and wait until the theater opens, and then go in and watch a wonderful performance.”

In fact, when it comes to singing or dancing performances, Matil is not without it, but most of them can only be enjoyed by nobles.So hearing what Yin Lian said, many civilians suddenly opened their eyes and asked, "...We can go too!?"

Yin Lian said: "For devout believers, the goddess will definitely make arrangements. But you need to be hardworking, brave, and hardworking to be worthy of this reward. When the time comes,"

Fearing that her words would be vague and people would make excuses, she finished the magic stick ceremony and said directly: "As long as you work hard, the theater will also be open to common people and believers, and the believers will only be charged a meager amount, so you can afford it without any effort." The ticket price will let you enter and appreciate it."

Then she looked serious and said, "But only those who are devout, hardworking, and willing to make this world a better place. Those who are lazy, who just want to enjoy and are not willing to pay for the goddess and compatriots are not counted. .So the theater is never free, you get what you give. Goddesses don't like people who get something for nothing."

The people who heard the order suddenly became more serious.

These words were spread to the ears of believers and farmers and workers, which immediately made them feel more at ease and more at ease, and they continued to work patiently.After all, the envoy said that this excitement is not temporary, there will be better performances in the future, and now it is more necessary to work hard.

Later, when the day came, Yin Lian gathered people in the square. After seeing the crowd, she couldn't help but frowned, and then slightly changed the plan.She called the pastor and gave them some instructions, and then the pastor began to walk to the high platform and announced the first selection topic to everyone.

After hearing the topic, there was an uproar among the people.
