The Director

Moka Nali Village, this small village nestled in a corner of the mountains, welcomed a new day today.

The sorrow brought to this village by the previous bandit raid and the arrival of the Demon was completely dispelled after the villagers celebrated the safe return of their loved ones with singing and dancing.

Today, a beautiful girl also arrived in the village. When she appeared on the street, she became the focus of the entire street.

"Quiet village..."

I Nuo slowly walked out of the house, softly singing the music score Joshua had given her. She had practiced all night. It had to be said that I Nuo had a great talent for singing. Succubi all had a talent for singing; their voices were very pleasant, pleasant enough to entice any man.

Music echoed in the sky. No one knew where the music came from. For a moment, the villagers took it for granted and listened to I Nuo's singing.

The ability a Succubus possessed was displayed to its fullest at this moment. Her voice enchanted the villagers, making them follow her according to her will.

"Everyone says when they wake up in the morning..." I Nuo walked to the entrance of the village market. Standing here, she could see the village's only clock tower.

The clock tower chimed, signaling the villagers' awakening.

"Good morning." The villagers opened their doors and began greeting each other.

A vibrant symphony officially began at this moment.

I Nuo walked through the village. The villagers' conversations, following the music in the sky, merged into a song. This scene was wonderful, even though I Nuo knew it was influenced by her enchanting ability.

The villagers enthusiastically greeted I Nuo. Although the name they called out was that of the girl Belle, I Nuo was still very happy.

But besides happiness, I Nuo also felt a sense of worry. She felt that the sky was occupied by some evil force. This force was completely different from the aura of a Demon; it was a decaying aura of death.

This was completely opposite to this vibrant small town, but the villagers couldn't feel this aura, even though it was right beside them.

I Nuo could only vaguely sense it, just like the two auras that had been following her since just now.

But considering Joshua's instructions, I Nuo still dutifully played the role of Belle.

I Nuo lifted her skirt and stepped on stones to jump over a small stream, arriving at the only place in the village that could be considered a library. This was the location Joshua had specified in the script.

When I Nuo walked in, she was slightly taken aback.

"The only bookworm in town is here."

The librarian stopped sweeping, stepped down from the ladder, and greeted Belle familiarly.

"Tell me, where have you traveled to this time?"

"Two cities in Osta of the Frost Country. Are there any new places I can visit?"

I Nuo recognized that this librarian was Joshua. Although his appearance had changed, becoming a Fickle, I Nuo quickly calmed down and spoke the lines according to the script Joshua had given her.

"I'm afraid not, but perhaps you can read your favorite books again."

"Thank you, your collection has made this small place bigger."

When I Nuo finished all her lines, she let out a small sigh of relief.

"Pause."

At this moment, the librarian took off the ring on his hand and changed back into Joshua's appearance. A Banshee holding a camera suddenly appeared beside I Nuo, making the Succubus tense up in fright.

"Your... Your Highness... Did I not act well somewhere?"

I Nuo held the book in her hands, looking at Joshua cautiously.

The death aura carried by undead creatures of the Banshee level was no joke. The destruction caused by their wails was hundreds of times stronger than I Nuo's charm.

"None of them satisfy me, so I Nuo, wear this."

Joshua took out a pendant and handed it to I Nuo. I Nuo looked at the pendant curiously, finding that it emitted an unknown magical power.

"This pendant can enhance your mental power. Hide it under your clothes."

This pendant was one of the Bone Duke's collectibles. Among his many collections, it was just a dispensable trinket. Joshua brought it specifically to ensure that I Nuo's charm range could cover the entire village.

I Nuo obediently put on the pendant and covered it with her collar. With the help of this pendant, she found that her thoughts were much clearer, and her mental power had also greatly increased.

"Your Highness... such a valuable item..."

Only after putting it on did I Nuo realize how precious this item was. A magic item that could quickly increase mental power without any side effects was something she couldn't afford even if she sold herself in the past...

"It's not valuable. I Nuo, you need to know that your charm is not just to enchant the people in this village, but the people of this country, and even this world, will be captivated by your charm! Don't underestimate yourself too much," Joshua said.

Joshua's high praise made I Nuo a little overwhelmed, so much so that I Nuo became extremely uneasy.

"Now, you just need to act out this scene according to your initial state."

Under Joshua's comfort, I Nuo finally managed to calm down. Finally, Joshua patted her shoulder and sent the Succubus back under the camera's lens.

"Camera 1, pay attention, the heroine has left the library. Where is Camera 3 for the wide shot? Camera 2 for the close-up, follow!"

Joshua walked out of the library and began to arrange the positions of the Banshees.

This time, Joshua brought twelve Banshees from the Bone Duke's territory. One of them had her own consciousness, while the other eleven completely followed Joshua's command. The camera itself was just a medium; as long as the camera was placed in the center, the 'Source Crystal Stone's recording function would automatically activate.

It wasn't until the actual practical exercise that Joshua realized how convenient it was for Banshees to be photographers. They could truly go anywhere, up to the sky and down to the ground. If the cameras were small enough, Joshua could shoot any shot he wanted.

As a director, Joshua had only shot a few short films in college as experience. Joshua believed he had some talent for directing, but the only thing Joshua could rely on at the moment was his memory.

With the help of the Banshees, Joshua successfully recreated all the shots from the movie in the first large scene.

Joshua even specifically found a Banshee to shoot the behind-the-scenes footage. If the scene in the movie was full of vitality and beauty, the behind-the-scenes footage seemed a bit creepy.

More than ten Banshees emitting death aura circled around Belle. Anyone who didn't know would think Belle was a Necromancer who had appeared out of nowhere.

Despite this, the beautiful girl's enthusiastic and lively temperament didn't look like a Necromancer at all.

And the pendant Joshua gave successfully enhanced I Nuo's charm ability. Under I Nuo's suggestion, the entire village's residents began a full day of activities centered around Belle.
