A strange world

Chapter 580 Chapter 237. Premiere of "When Freedom Knocks"

Today is a big day.

Millaire had invited the eldest lady of Watkinson Company many times, and Gray Watkinson finally invited her in the name of "Annan's new work".

The turmoil in the Keating Principality in the north was not affected. People in the trading city were more concerned about new things, such as the "Twin Ministers Weekly" and Annan's fourth work.

Millaire spent a lot of money to grab two tickets and went to Watkinson's house to pick up Miss Grey.

"You are still beautiful today."

Gray is lukewarm, she has many suitors, and Mirel is just one of them.

After arriving at the New Theater, Mirel stepped out of the carriage and turned back to Gray in a gentlemanly manner. He helped her get down and lined up.

The ladies in the team wore beautiful long dresses, and the men wore straight suits, as if they had just attended a banquet.

The two young nobles in front were talking in a low voice: "Have you heard? The fourth magic image was originally called "When the Orcs Knock on the Door"... maybe it is a horror genre."

"fear?"

Mirel imagined that Gray was so frightened that she threw herself into his arms...and even didn't hate Annan that much.

"Would you like a cup of Lord Annan's newly invented lemon soda? Two cups are on sale for only one gold coin, buy one get one free, limited to 100 cups per day!"

There was a shout from the front, and a young girl passed in front of the team carrying a tray with drinks.

Miriel didn't pay attention at first, but when he saw Gray pouting his thin lips, he hurriedly waved: "Please give me two drinks."

The girl with a bright smile came over: "Sir, do you want some ice?"

"Of course, it's really hot today, isn't it?"

Mirel exchanged a gold coin for two glasses of lemon soda with ice, handed one to Gray, and took a sip himself.

The cool feeling went straight to his heart and made Miriel's eyes light up, but he still couldn't help but complain: "I spent a gold nard before I even got in."

"Are you worried about money?" Gray looked at him sideways.

Mirel was about to deny it, but remembered that Gray liked sincere people, and said: "I...yes. You know, the trade in the north has not been going well recently...but as long as you are happy, everything will be fine."

Gray said nothing and continued to sip her drink reservedly.

He screwed up...Mirel was crestfallen.

After waiting in line for a few minutes, they entered the theater. Not long after, the slowly lighting up screen made the noisy theater quiet.

"This stage is called survival."

The thin orc appeared in front of the mirror to wash himself.

The phrase "make yourself clean so it doesn't look too ugly" usually doesn't apply to orcs.

Fans of Annan whispered: "Oh, the same narration as "Betal's Redemption"."

"It's really ugly."

Someone else was saying: "Where's Jack?"

Chris, as usual, sent Christopher to a place where he would keep an eye on the children. Looking at Christopher playing with the children, it thought of its original promise: "When I have children in the future, my children must know who their father is."

There was a chuckle in the theater from those who knew the "orcs have no fathers" joke, but not much.

Many people have never seen an orc in their lives.

On the screen, Chris went to the mercenary hall, but encountered obstacles everywhere. Many mercenary squads just wanted a scapegoat to stand in front of them, and Chris wasn't exactly strong.

It was bullied in the mercenary hall, and its children were also bullied in the day care center. Christopher looked disgraced when Chris picked it up. After questioning, he said it was the children who hit him and that he didn't want to play with orcs.

And this is just the daily life of the orc father and son in the city. The malice they encountered was even considered excessive by the human audience.

When the atmosphere in the theater became somber, Chris encountered a turning point.

It meets a mother and daughter, and the child asks: "Why is he different from us?"

His mother said: "Because there are countless races and countless stories in this world, and we are not the protagonists."

Chris, who had hit too many walls, lost control and said: "Thank you, madam. I asked my mother this when I was a child. She said we are orcs, a lowly race. If she had answered like you, I would not change. It became what it is today.”

"You still have a chance to let you and your child leave." The mother said softly, pointing to the poster on the wall.

[Gem Bay, the city of freedom, no exploitation, no oppression, no race, no problems]

Chris began to ask around about Liberty City, and passed by a theater with a huge poster of "The Fall of the Wizard's Tower", and decided to save money to buy two boat tickets.

He started doing everything to save money. He was kicked out when he couldn't pay the rent and slept on the street with his son. Blackmailed by gangs, driven away by guards. While huddled in the woodshed of a manor, he was discovered by the manor's dog.

In order to let his son sleep well, Chris covered his ears to block the barking, and held his son as he cried silently.

Many people burst into tears, including Milaire, who burst into tears. The handkerchief with a delicate fragrance was handed over, but Miraire didn't care at all who was next to him.

Chris paid a lot and finally saved up enough money for the boat ticket, but because he was an orc, he could only be locked in the cabin after boarding the boat.

The narrator said that this stage is called uneasiness.

Twenty days later, the ship docked with a tremor. Chris held his son's hand and stepped onto the port, where he saw an exquisite city and a beautiful bay.

Countless spectators who have never seen the sea are also intoxicated by the beautiful scenery before them.

Chris led Christopher from the port to the street. No one cast a strange look or deliberately avoided me. Those who came towards me only had friendly smiles.

They walked forward, gradually disappearing into the crowds of people on the street, like a river merging into the sea.

The last narration sounded:

"This stage, I call it, when freedom knocks on the door..."

Amidst the melodious music, the screen gradually dimmed.

The audience woke up from the two-hour story and clapped and cheered in unison.

Mirel comes out of the theater. Standing in the sun, it feels like a new life.

The noise not far away attracted their attention. A boy waited several hours to get to the ticket office, but he lost several silver coins and was on the verge of tears.

His clothes are not cheap, and the money he takes out is all silver coins. I don’t know how long he has saved the money. He should be from an ordinary businessman family.

"I invite you!"

Seeing that the boy was about to miss the opportunity, Milaire impulsively walked over, took out his money bag, counted out a gold nard and patted it on the boy's hand, rejecting the silver coin he pushed in: "I hope you can find the joy of life in it." The truth.”

"thank you!"

The boy thanked him gratefully.

Miriel exhaled and returned to Gray who was standing not far away.

Today was a failed date. he thought. Not only did he show his stingy side, he also cried a lot...

"I'll take you back, Miss Grey," he said.

At this moment, Gray brushed her hair away from her forehead: "...Do you want to go for a walk in the park?"

Looking at those eyes that seemed to be smiling in astonishment, Milaire suddenly realized something.

"certainly!"
