Chapter 231: The Plague King Greets Everyone
Translator: Lonelytree
If Duradin wanted to avenge his father through the Yan Sheng Spells, then he might lose even more.
However, how could Duradin, who was burning with anger, listen to him?
He begged the mage to teach him the method.
The mage was moved by his sincerity and finally chose to agree.
After that.
The mage let the prince stay in his hut for three days, and the rest were driven out.
Three days later.
Duradin walked out with a pale face.
The mage was nowhere to be found,
Duradin, who had learned the Yan Sheng Spells, returned to the now-changed island of Pantura with the female protagonist and Shaman.
The climax of the last scene had finally arrived.
Perhaps to make it easier for the audience to go to the toilet, the intermission between the third and fourth acts was longer.
On Matthew’s way back, he saw a young man running into the dressing room in a hurry. The middle-aged woman with a mean face from before urged him,
“Lawrence, do you want to be whipped again? Quickly change into your stunt double costume!”
“Yes, Mrs. Jess.”
The optimistic voice of a young man came from the corridor of the dressing room.
Matthew shook his head, and Lawrence’s appearance appeared in his mind. The unique perception of the Envoy of Equilibrium told him that this young man was definitely not simple.
He returned to his seat.
The fourth act had already begun.
The speed at which the plot progressed suddenly increased.
The group of people bumped into his second uncle. Duradin tried to expose his second uncle’s identity in front of everyone, but everyone on the island was already unfamiliar with him.
They didn’t completely believe Duradin’s words.
Only when the old Shaman appeared and stood with Duradin did some people waver.
However, at this critical moment.
Duradin’s mother actually took the initiative to speak up for her current husband!
She told Duradin not to listen to the old shaman’s slanderous words. His father was fine and hadn’t been killed by anyone. There had indeed been an accident three years ago, but the person who had died was his second uncle.
His mother’s betrayal had left him heartbroken.
Second Uncle seized the opportunity to order the Chieftain’s Guards to capture Duradin.
The two sides fought for a while.
The old shaman was old, and both Duradin and the female protagonist were bards, so their combat strength was naturally not enough.
Very quickly.
They were arrested and thrown into the prison on the island.
Duradin met several tribal elders who were loyal to his father in prison. They were one of the few people on the island who were willing to believe Duradin’s words. Unfortunately, they were all prisoners like the prince and could not help Duradin.
That night.
His second uncle came to visit him in person.
He told Duradin that if he stopped talking nonsense, he would restore his identity as a prince and let bygones be bygones.
Naturally, Duradin didn’t believe it.
The other party could even kill his own brother, so what if he killed his nephew?
However, in order to lower his second uncle’s guard.
Duradin pretended to agree.
The latter left in satisfaction.
At night.
The female bard and Duradin talked to each other,
She asked Duradin why he didn’t use the Yan Sheng Spells to win.
Duradin remained silent.
The female lead kept asking.
Only then did he helplessly reply. If one wanted to curse a person to death through the Yan Sheng Spells, one had to sacrifice another person’s life, and this person had to be the most important person in the caster’s heart.
Duradin told the female protagonist that before today, the most important person in his heart was his mother in his memories, but after today, it became the female protagonist.
Just like how he couldn’t bear to sacrifice his mother’s life before.
Right now, he was not willing to sacrifice the female lead’s life.
After listening to Duradin’s painful narration.
The female protagonist fell into a long silence.
Before dawn.
The clever and witty Duradin successfully used his second uncle’s promise to scare the prison guards. The male and female protagonists were able to reunite and enjoy a night of sex in prison.
However, when Duradin woke up, he found that the female protagonist had found a cup of poisoned wine from somewhere.
She quietly waited for Duradin to wake up and drank it in front of him.
“Now that I’m about to die, quickly use my life to curse that sinister and ugly uncle of yours!
“Take back what belongs to you, my love. Go, Duradin.”
Then, she collapsed.
The grief-stricken Duradin hugged the female protagonist’s corpse and hurriedly used the spell that the mage had taught him.
This scene tested the actor’s skills.
Matthew admitted.
Brandon had handled the earlier scenes well.
However, his performance for this part was much worse in comparison.
Even from an outsider’s perspective, his crying scene, acting, and chanting could only be considered barely passable.
He was about to turn to Lorraine to comment on this.
At this moment.
The magic spotlights above his head suddenly dimmed!
The stage was pitch black.
The audience immediately burst into an uproar.
“Shh!”
“Don’t make a sound.”
An optimistic and cheerful young man’s voice suddenly sounded in the audience.
“I know you guys haven’t had enough of the show, right?
Duradin in this scene should be filled with grief, helplessness, blame, fear, and so on. However, our male lead, Mr. Brandon, acted as if he were in a children’s play.
‘When he cries, his heart aches; When he smiles, his face lights up; When he grins, his eyes bloom.
“I admit that his acting skills have reached perfection.
“But there are no feelings.”
A magic spotlight suddenly lit up.
Under the spotlight.
It was a young man wearing the same clothes as the male lead!
Everyone was in an uproar.
Even though he had dressed up meticulously, someone recognized him. He was the young man who had been pulled to replace the fainted ticket seller at the door.
“Lawrence, what are you doing?!!”
An angry voice came from backstage, mixed with the sound of high heels.
“You motherless bastard, get down here!”
The smile on Lawrence’s face didn’t change.
He looked at the middle-aged lady with a mean face who came from backstage.
“Mrs. Jess, for someone as vicious as you, your mouth must be filled with poisonous insects, right?”
Mrs. Jess wanted to curse again.
However, the moment she opened her mouth, a foreign object suddenly came out.
“Wow!”
She bent down and spat, and a scorpion, a venomous snake, and a toad appeared on the ground!
The actors on the stage were shocked by this sudden change.
They all hid backstage.
Mrs. Jess knelt on the ground in fear and clutched her throat. Poisonous creatures kept crawling out of her mouth.
After they landed, they didn’t run around but returned to her body.
Very quickly.
Her screams echoed throughout the stage!
“You’re too loud, Mrs. Jess. We’re in a theatre.” Lawrence snapped his fingers.
Mrs. Jess’ voice suddenly disappeared.
Immediately after.
Lawrence looked up happily and looked at the equally shocked audience.
“The little episode will end soon. Our performance will continue.
“Next, I will be the male lead and present the climax of this good show to everyone.
“Thank you for your support. By the way, the Plague King sends his regards to everyone.”
As he spoke.
He bowed deeply to the audience.
