Chapter 16: Filming

  The vilge that had been raided by the bandits was called Moaly. It was a vilge situated on the edge of the mountains, northwest of the city of magiornd. Most of the houses in the vilge were wooden houses.

  Before the bandits struck the vilge, a rge portion of the vilgers had fled and hidden in the forest. Only a small number of them were taken captive by Zenarth.

  Thus, when Joshua brought the rescued vilgers back from the Demonic Realm, a toug reunion took pce within the small vilge.

  After all, hugs and tears were a celebration of a loved one's safe return. The vilgers gathered around the rgest house in the vilge to celebrate.

  "Why don't you stay for a while. There is plenty of fresh goat's milk to drink, hah."

  Unfortunately, Ciri did not have the luxury to stay there and celebrate for long as she o leave with Joshua.

  "That is because I have taken all the shots I need."

  The inium crystal in Joshua's hand had already recorded a rge amount of footage.

  The footage came from Joshua's tact with the celebrating vilgers. There was a se iy and the Beast" where the vilgers cheered and praised Gaston for his exploits, so Joshua used the opportunity to capture footage of the vilger's admiration faston.

  The filming process went much smoother than Joshua had expected, and even one of the hardest parts in his pn had been solved.

  The way "Beauty and the Beast" resented as a film tained Disney's usual characteristics, and that was to use musicals to portray parts of the plot.

  Beauty and the Beast began with a chorus performance by Belle and the townsfolk iown.

  Joshua wao preserve the inal charm of the Disney produ. While he was making an adaptation, he also hoped to retain the inal atmosphere of the movie.

  Fortunately, a problem that inally troubled him did not seem to exist from the beginning as the vilgers of this vilge... were extremely capable of song and dance.

  Joshua ehe performance of an elderly vilger who had put his experien the Demonic Realm into rhyme and song.

  He had udied traditional musicals before, so he could not be a judge oher it was good or not. He could only say it retty det.

  Anyway, Joshua did not have to worry about all of that. Ynor was a succubus, and the voice of a succubus had the ability to affect the minds of living beings just like the sirens in the legends. As for Joshua, his resistance as a Chaos Demon was a little too high for it to work, so he felt nothing.

  Normal humans, however, would indeed be affected by Ynor. The effect was only suggestive, like how one's sexual impulses were aroused when one looked at a succubus. That was the most direct maion of the suggestion.

  So, as long as the vilgers heard Ynor's singing, they would definitely be tempted to participate as well.

  All that was left for Joshua was to officially ehe filming of the se between Belle and her father, or her mother in this insta was one of the most important ses in the movie.

  Joshua took out a bottle of invisible powder from his briefcase. The powder was not the prince's creation, rather it had been made from crystals left behind by some powerful wraiths. It was what one would call monster material.

  The powder was extremely expensive in the Human Realm as it had many uses. Besides making anything it came into tact with invisible, it could also serve as an expensive alchemical po.

  "You... Yoing to use the Wraith Dust just like that?"

  Ciri obviously reized what was inside Joshua's bottle. A pinch of that powder alone was enough to feed the pe for ten years.

  Yet, Joshua just nontly fed ten years' worth of her food allowao an unknown magical device!

  "Is there anything wrong?"

  Joshua held the Wraith Dust in his hand and spri all over his camera. Soon, the camera blended into its surroundings like a chameleon.

  "Nothing..."

  It was not hers anyway, and Ciri had o feel bad about it.

  "In that case, close your eyes," Joshua said to Ciri as he took another handful of Wraith Dust.

  "I don't think... we hat much."

  Ciri wao sm an alchemy catalog into Joshua's fad let him know how precious the ingredient was.

  "A necessary iment."

  Aside from some small-budget blockbusters or cult films, which film produ did not run into the millions? In the pursuit of the best footage and effects, budget was a totally fn cept to some directors.

  While Joshua was not the type to sink in millions without any thought, he was of the thought that an expeem that just sat there was as good as worthless!

  Joshua then ruthlessly sprihe silver Wraith Dust all over Ciri's long gray hair. The moment the shimmering silver powder touched Ciri's hair, it became transparent... To describe it in a more stific way, light had been refracted by the powder.

  However, this was a world of magid Joshua did not io apply his previous on knowledge to get a sense of it. That magical camera he had was a good example. Without the numerous runes engraved on it and magic power, it was at best just a useless box.

  Once Joshua and Ciri were covered with the Wraith Dust, Joshua finally experiehe same excitement Harry Potter felt when he first put on the Invisibility Cloak.

  "Time to work."

  Joshua picked up the camera by feel and tossed an inium crystal coated with Wraith Dust to Ciri as he walked to the edge of the vilge.

  Ciri looked at her already pletely transparent arm. If not for the crystal on her neck restrig her movement, perhaps she would have taken the opportunity to escape or... maybe use the ce to knock the demon pri?

  She looked at Joshua's back as she pulled out her short staff from her robe. After a moment of hesitation, she gave up on the self-defeating idea.

  "You hired me just to have me carry these things for you?"

  Ciri could not help but ask as she ran to Joshua's side. Even though Joshua was totally invisible now, she could still determine where he was based on his footsteps on the grass.

  "That is the case at this stage, but there will be many more special tasks iure."

  "Special..."

  It could not be for her to sleep with him, right? Ciri covered her pretty unimpressive chest, but as she thought things through, she found it impossible. Ciri did not sider herself that beautiful, especially when pared with that succubus o Joshua. Her feminine wiles were basically not worth mentioning at all.

  "Well, it will be a job that is even more iing that being a mage. The expnation ends here. Time for you to work, Ciri."

  Joshua had brought Ciri to the edge of the vilge.

  The room where Melina the mert was staying in was at the edge of the vilge, and since she was just an outsider, she did not join in the celebration with the vilgers.

  Based on Joshua's script, Ynor was living with her, and through the window, he could see that Melina and Ynor were talking about something.

  With his impeccable ag skills, Ynor had mao pletely win the mert dy's trust or rather... her heart?

  Joshua did not have a cpperboard with him for the time being, so he had to use his memory to remember every frame he was required to shoot and pare it with the inal.

  The se would be "Belle and her mother". A.
