Chapter 10
“Give me your hand,” Cecily said.
Joshua just held his hand out. He did not do anything wrong and had nothing to hide before the sentinel.
Even if she detected the little mage in the room, Cecily would simply think of the Royal City’s safety and get Joshua to send the human back to her world.
That’s right… Send her back and not execute her on the spot.
Cecily was one of the Demonic Realm’s conservative faction leaders, and as a sentinel, she had always hated senseless killings.
Joshua’s hand was held by Cecily as she pulled his sleeve up to reveal his arm.
Joshua felt like he was being treated by a traditional Chinese physician who was taking his pulse.
Most of them were survivors of the bandit raid, and as for how to deal with them, Joshua already had a plan.
He was going to send all of them back. No, sending them back was not the right phrase… Joshua would personally rescue them from the demonic dungeon himself!
There were three main scenes in “Beauty and the Beast”. First was the small town, the second was the snowy mountains on the way to the castle, and the last one was the castle itself.
The importance of the town that Belle lived in was only second to the castle.
There would be many townsfolk in the town, and they were all extras with barely any roles to speak of. Nonetheless, for a good movie, excellent extras were a necessity as they were one of the cornerstones in the overall atmosphere of a movie.
In a world without actors, where would he find extras?
Even if Joshua found a group of humans for cameos, their acting skills would be a problem.
The final conclusion was simple enough. People played a role the best when they played as themselves.
Hence, Joshua decided to use that village and its villagers as the town where Belle lived.
In Beauty and the Beast, there was a hunter named Gaston who lived in the same village. He was tall and handsome as well as popular with the villagers. He tried to pursue Belle all the time, but his arrogance and uncouth attitude repelled Belle.
Gaston was an indispensable character in the movie, and Joshua was not looking for anyone to play the role because he would be playing it himself.

Next, Joshua just needed to act as a human hunter who had strayed into the Demonic Realm and break into the prison where the villagers were held before rescuing all of them.
With that, the villagers would naturally worship Joshua or the character “Gaston” as a hero.
Life was like a play, and a play was like life. How true those words were.
Perhaps the villagers would never know that they had been living in a story Joshua had written even after filming was over.
Anyway, as long as the story was good enough, even if they found out, they would not have any opinions about it, right? Just like the little mage…
“Then, can you take me along with you?!”
Ciri started to regret her rash usage of the ring. It was worth three years of food.
“Unfortunately, no. ”
Joshua shook his head to say no.
“Why!!! I was kidnapped too!” Ciri almost cried.
“Because you know too much.”
Joshua pondered a little before he replied with a very classic response.
