Upon hearing the guild master’s words, Edward, surprised that the Northern Adventurers' Guild master had arrived so quickly, immediately stood up to greet her.

  However, as soon as he did, the door to the room slowly opened, and a graceful figure entered.

  She was a tall, slender beauty with dazzling blonde hair.

  Though it might seem a bit cliché, anyone who saw such a striking woman would describe her in this way.

  Notig Edward’s surprise, the Southern Guild Master quickly introduced her, "Uh, let me introduce you. This is Miss Eliza Davis, the Guild Master of the Northern Adventurers' Guild."

  Hearing this, the woman named Eliza raised an inquisitive eyebrow, prompting Edward to respond quickly, "Hello, I’m Edward Durin, the writer and director of the film Konosuba."

  Upon hearing Edward reveal his identity, Eliza lightly lifted her skirt as she gracefully approached him, nodding slightly. "I've heard much about you. Whether as the you Grand Mage or as the director of this innovative medium, you have my utmost respect."

  Surprised by such a formal attitude from the Northern Guild Master, Edward, who was used to a more rexed demeanor, found himself momentarily stiff.

  He then instinctively asked, "I didn’t expect the Northern Guild Master to be ied in films. May I ask why you’ve e all this way? Surely it wasn’t just to watch a movie?"

  Although there are teleportation arrays eg the towns in this world, the high cost associated with their use makes them unaffordable for most people.

  Only signifit figures, such as the two guild masters before him, would typically use them.

  Even most nobles don’t have the privilege.

  Sensing that Edward wasn’t fortable with such a formal exge, the beautiful woman before him suddenly adopted a more casual posture, half-sitting on the ground.

  Seeing Edward's surprise, she merely smiled and said, "I tell, Director Durin, that you’re not fond of the stiff iions typical of nobility. Frankly, I also detest such a restrictive atmosphere. I'd much rather have straightforward versations like adventurers do."

  "Are you an adveoo?"

  Edward quickly realized that while this blonde beauty might seem like a noblewoman, it was merely an illusioed by her appearanbsp;

  She was, at her core, undoubtedly a true adventurer.

  Eliza calmly nodded, "Before taking on the role of Guild Master, I was indeed an advehe North is different from here. Only those who rise above tless other adventurers assume the role of Guild Master. I was fortuo secure the positioo my retively high rank and level as an adventurer."

  "May I ask about your rank?"

  Eliza ughed softly, "It’s nothiraordinary. pared to you, Director Durin, who became a Grand Mage at such a young age, it took me more than ten years to barely reach the level of Sword Saint."

  Realizing that a top-tier warrior of the empire was sitting before him, the Southern Guild Master felt an overwhelming sense of inferiority.

  Meanwhile, Edward, who had recovered slightly faster, tinued, "So, what brings you here?"

  "Ah, I almost fot."

  Dispying a slightly more casual and scatterbrained side, Eliza quickly expined, "I've already seen your movie, Director Durin. To be ho, it was outstanding. Although the tent clearly aligns more with the adventurers of the South, it deeply moved me as a former adventurer. I eve a strong urge to pick up my swain aurn to being a nameless adventurer. However, that’s not why I’m here. In fact, before ing, my i urely ieology behind the movie, but I didn’t expect your script to be so brilliant..."

  Eliza didn’t hold back. She didly admitted that she was initially drawn to the teology behind filmmaking.

  Hearing this, Edward responded with a sigh, "While I’m gd you ehe film, I ’t share the teology behind it just yet. Until the empire establishes a proper patent system, I 't reveal the teiques behind filmmaking."

  Edward was fully aware of the potential impact that the teology behind magical rec devices and imaging crystals could have on the world.

  But precisely because of this, he couldn’t simply spread the teology around.

  If he did, it would only cause a small ripple in the world.

  To truly shake things up and bring about ge, Edward o create a world where tless people would willingly share their privately guarded knowledge—essentially, to establish a sound patent system in this world.

  Only then would the a, guarded traditions begin to loosen, allowing the unfathomable art of magic to be deciphered piece by piebsp;

  That’s when the world could potentially transform into the wonderful world that Edward envisioned.

  In response, Eliza quickly crified, "You misuood, Director Durin. I don’t have any iion of obtaining the teology for filming. My purpose here is actually quite simir to that of the Southern Guild Master. I’m hoping you create a movie about adventurers in the North as well!"

  Indeed, after learning about the existence of films, Eliza felt as though she had discovered a new world.

  She had never imagined something like this could exist—a medium that could turn stories into images for people to watch.

  Upon hearing about the ges in the Southern Adventurers' Guild, she immediately decided to seek out Edward, the creator of these films, with one goal in mind...

  "To be ho, the North is not like the South, where nearly every day, boys and girls from the vilges enthusiastically e to the town’s adventurers' guild tister, hoping to make a name for themselves in the field of adventuring. But the monsters in the North are far more terrifying than those in the South. Even to take down the lowest-ranked goblins, at least one experienced adventurer is o ehe task’s safety."

  "Although the Adventurers' Guild has always been guiding new adventurers, urging them to make more rational judgments about their own abilities so that they safely overe their first hurdle, a ret influx of adventurer novels from the capital has flooded the South. These novels, which y basis iy and are purely the product of the authors’ imaginations, have bee wildly popur."

  "As a result, we’ve seen a sudden spike in young people, inspired by these adveales, flooding into the Adventurers' Guild. They firmly believe iories depicted in the novels and dismiss the guild’s warnings as nonsehey think we’re just ignorant adults trying to hiheir destined rise as future heroes, and they start anizing their own adventures privately."

  "The result has been a terrifying increase in the mortality rate of new adventurers in the North. But the guild ’t force these new adveo refrain from accepting issions, and our efforts to educate them have been pletely overshadowed by the allure of these novels. After all, our warnings don’t stand a ce against the more eaining novels."

  "So, when I first saw the Southern Guild Master mention movies in a report, I immediately thought of our current situation. That’s why I’ve e to the South seeking help. I hope you, Director Durin, create a movie about the true life of adventurers in the North. Not the retively peaceful life of adventurers in the South, where they rarely enter monsters, but a realistid brutal portrayal of what adventuring in the North is like!"
