“What’s this?” Victor pointed at the picture and asked, “A new play?”
Twinkle leaned over and looked at the newspaper, “No, sir… This picture should be of the magic movie.”
“Magic movie?” It was another term which he had never heard of. It was so fantastic to be living in the future. The jewelry tradesman was eagerly asked, “Can you explain it in detail?”
The maid answered a bit embarrassed, “Well… I don’t know too much. The same picture was hung up several days ago in Central Square, but it was colored. I heard the magic movie is a brand-new performance and is only available on a special stage.”
“An art… beyond the times. Since he dares to use such words to describe it, the King of Graycastle must be extremely confident about it.” Victor rubbed the slightly rough paper and thought, “It seems that this is worth looking forward to.”
He noticed that there were a few lines under the titles, which indicated the time and location of the performance and the way to purchase tickets.
Victor’s heart jumped at the words.
Wait… The ticket costs 40 gold royals?
How could that be possible? It surpassed the price of the top troupe in the City of Glow!
He could afford this price, but would there be anyone else in the city willing to pay for a magic movie since they didn’t even care for jewelry?
No, there was still more… Victor frowned and continued to read. At the same time, he could not help murmuring, “Residents with Neverwinter ID card can get a special discount and a book ticket for 25 silver royals. Note: Tickets purchased at non-discounted prices offers a better viewing experience and reserved seating. Please order now. Tickets purchased at the discounted price do not include food and drinks; outside food and drink is not allowed. Please plan accordingly.”
These were really… two totally different prices!
He had seen products with two prices, but never with such a drastic difference. In addition, most of these deals were conducted in private instead of being publicly advertised; otherwise, people who paid more would complain and it might be the last purchase from them. He was shocked by this!
Not only was it directly written in the newspaper, it also added many restrictions. It seemed that people had to rush to get it even if they were willing to pay the higher price.
However, he found that he was one of them…
He had to admit, this selling tactic did have a strange kind of attraction. Those who could afford 40 gold royals must be wealthy merchants or nobles. Admission was a proof of his strength, not to mention he was full of curiosity about the magic movie.
Victor jumped off the soft couch and put on his wolfskin coat.
“Sir?” Twinkle whispered. She was extremely surprised, as she had taken off her clothes and put on a thin veil. She was lying in bed, waiting for Victor to join her. She was unsure of how to respond to this sudden change.
Victor picked up her clothes and threw them to her. “Where can I buy tickets to the magic movie? Take me there, now!”
***************
The filming of “The Wolf Princess” had entered the final phase.
The final battle of Princess Royal against the demon lord would start in the palace. Roland had emptied the first floor of the castle to make room for the filming.
May, the Star of the Western Region, was currently in charge of the movie. In order for the new drama the best it could be, she even quit acting and devoted herself to directing the film.
“Cut!” May called out when Lorgar kicked in the castle door and rushed into the hall. “Very good. Let’s call it a day. Thank you all for your hard work.”
“Oh.”
“Thank you, master,” the crew chorused.
If it were her in the past, she would definitely roll her eyes toward them; however, now she just smiled and nodded.
“This is probably a change brought on by time,” May thought.
