Chapter 441: Chapter 380 The Best or Nothing_1

"This matter is settled then, we’ll use the Revenge Tortoise to replace the Bipedal Dragon," Gaven steered the conversation back to the beginning. "I don’t want the image of the user of Revenge Storm to appear in the projection."

"This... is a bit tricky, not appearing at all isn’t appropriate either. How about we just blur it? For example, only show a distant image, so that her true appearance is not discernible."

After pondering for a moment, Gaven nodded and said, "That’s fine."

With his collaboration with Zalanda unfolding, especially with the massive influx of Tesser Immigrants, their relationship couldn’t be kept secret.

"My abilities should also be somewhat blurred," Gaven naturally didn’t want his methods to be common knowledge. "Focus more on the Revenge Tortoise as the main cause of the Red Dragon’s death."

"Don’t worry, I’ve got it covered, and I can definitely create an imposing image of you without revealing too much of your strength," Regina assured him with confidence.

"Then I’ll leave it to Miss Regina," Gaven said, fully affirming her capabilities. "These are the only concerns I’ve thought of for now. As we progress with editing, we can make additions at any time. Next, I’ll provide a personal suggestion.

The first suggestion is related to music, Miss Regina’s area of expertise. Use music as background, integrated into the memory, tense melodies to create urgency of war and battle, eerie tunes for a horrifying atmosphere, I don’t need to say more about using cheerful melodies to signify peace and joy, and so on."

"Great idea! Great idea! Great idea! Just wait, just wait, let me try, let me try..." Eager to start, Regina quickly plucked the strings of her instrument, and a rousing War Song instantly accompanied the replay of the memory projection of the Red Dragon battling the enraged Tortoise.

The same memory projection, with and without background music, felt like two completely different things.

Even the Shadows seemed a little excited, although their bodies lacked this capability, it was entirely the effect of the music’s magic.

Whether the memory projection amplified the power of the song, or the song gave the memory projection a more potent influence, was unknown.

"Is it this kind of feeling?" Regina looked at Gaven with anticipation.

"Exactly," Gaven nodded repeatedly. Felen had an advantage not found on Earth, that music possessed magic power, enhancing the viewing experience significantly with its involvement.

But he immediately shook his head and corrected, "That’s not what I mean. I mean for you to integrate the background music into the memory projection, so it appears together with the playback of the memory."

"I know," Regina said with a cunning smile. "But I think it might be more appropriate not to integrate it initially. We have to leave something for the Bards to do. Otherwise, anyone who gets their hands on a memory projection stone would be able to project it easily, or rather, it’d be easy for others to make vast copies and infringe upon our benefits."

"Your sense of copyright protection is outrageously strong. Our memory film hasn’t even been made yet, and you’ve already set up anti-piracy measures," Gaven couldn’t help but laugh. "I don’t think it’s necessary because others could do secondary production. For example, they could watch the real memory film and then create their own memory film from what they’ve seen, and the Bards’ music would naturally be recorded then.

Don’t forget your Special Ability as the creator of the sound of Fear, one horror song could bring forth a new Special Ability for you.

Do you think Felen’s first memory film won’t bring you such benefits? If we’re going to do this, let’s do it the best we can. Let’s reap the biggest benefits first before anything else.

We’ll worry about anti-piracy later.

Of course, if you’re considering our bard brothers, you could produce two versions, one without background music and one with it.

But during the first showing, it has to be the version with background music."

"I oversimplified things and almost missed the bigger picture. You’re right, Special Abilities are the key, everything else is secondary, because once something like this emerges, it inevitably attracts those with intentions to plagiarize and steal," Regina’s eyes sparkled anew. "Plagiarism or not, let’s first create it, stamp our label on it, then talk. Plus, without the assistance of the manor’s system, even a Legendary Bard would find it difficult to quickly craft these memory projections as I do. In this regard, we still possess an advantage no one else has."

"The fact that you’ve realized this is excellent," Gaven continued to suggest. "At the end of this memory film, I want to highlight the new lives of the captured mercenaries, to showcase our treatment of them through this medium."

"That’s extremely easy to do. Even if you didn’t mention it, Duke, I would’ve done it anyway," Regina said with a smile. "We’ve collaborated on such matters before, anything else?"

"These are all the ideas I have for now."

"Just these?" Regina seemed somewhat unsatisfied.

"This should be enough for you to work on for a while but wait, there is something else. These things, I’m unable to demonstrate as I lack musical talent. You’ll need to feel it yourself, and how much you can derive from it will depend on your skill."

As he spoke, Gaven’s shadow quickly lengthened and connected directly with the dark mist screen; from it, one after another, valiant tunes began to play.

The Mass!

Star Sky!

Victory!

El Dorado!

The Dawn!

Breath and Life!

He’s a Pirate...

All these were among the most famous pieces on Earth, primarily consisting of love songs and war songs.

Gaven didn’t possess the ability to replicate these world-renowned tunes with instruments.

However, transferring the imprints from his memory through memory projection wasn’t a problem at all.

"This is..." Mere moments after hearing the beginning of the first piece, Regina was completely captivated.

As a Transcendent Bard, her musical attainments were extraordinary, and she could naturally discern the value of these tunes.

But the issue was that music of such caliber should have already been world-famous, yet she hadn’t heard a single one of them.

After transferring dozens of songs, Gaven finally terminated the memory projection. As for movies and TV series, he didn’t plan on directly using Earth’s material in the short term. Plagiarized work could never be as inspiring as original creations, so he’d rather see to what extent Regina could manage on her own first.

When Gaven finished the memory transfer and opened his eyes, a beautiful face was already close at hand— who else could it be but Regina? Seeing him awake, she eagerly asked, "What’s with these pieces of music?"

"All I can tell you is that this music doesn’t belong to our world. As for how it came to be, don’t ask too much. If you do, I’ll only be able to tell you that it comes from a dream, and beyond that, I know nothing," Gaven said, now casually attributing unexplainable phenomena to dreams— a very subjective approach, but sometimes incredibly effective.

For instance, he had smoothly gotten past Zalanda’s scrutiny. Whether they truly believed him or just chose to let it slide wasn’t worth delving into.

It was just as easy to pass Regina’s test.

Because she didn’t care about how Gaven acquired these songs; she was only interested in their true origins.

As long as they weren’t from Felen itself, it would be easy to handle.

She could feel entirely justified in using them and making them her own.

Having listened to them once, Regina began to strum her instrument when playing them a second time, quickly immersing herself and becoming engrossed.

Seeing Regina’s engrossed state, Gaven couldn’t help but remind her, "Don’t forget, the Midsummer Festival’s evening party is your focus for the next five days. Making memory films isn’t something done in an instant. After the party, you can focus all your efforts on this."

While playing along, Regina absent-mindedly responded, "I haven’t forgotten. Isn’t this part of the preparation? What’s most important for singing Fairy Song together? Of course, it’s the song itself, which needs to resonate with everyone. Although Felen isn’t short of renowned pieces, they lack novelty and impact. The pieces you’ve provided, which have never been performed in Felen before, are just perfect and sure to leave an impression on countless beings."

"You’re the expert here; you decide," Gaven reassured, seeing that Regina already had her own ideas about the matter.

As he had little experience to draw on for this task, the only thing he could do was mobilize all the allies and personnel he felt could be of help and see if they could spark a miraculous chemical reaction.

Everything he could do had been done; now it was just a matter of waiting for the Midsummer Night to arrive.

Waiting times always seemed so protracted.

Gaven had not been idle, however, and hadn’t missed a single tree during his reformation efforts.

His routine of cultivation, study, and handling state affairs hadn’t been neglected either.

Yet when one is filled with anticipation, days can indeed become difficult to endure.

The Half-Elf Girl Cavalry Squad, led by Regina.

The Paladins of the Just Hammer continued to arrive one after another.

Coming along with the latter were over a dozen carts loaded with Ghost Grape Wine, escorted by Grand Inquisitor Valon himself.

Witnessing this scene, Gaven sighed with astonishment, "Grand Inquisitor, what is this about?"

A bitter smile that Valon could not hide played upon his face, "The Ghost Grape Wine Auction might have some side effects. I’m already seeing signs of it."

"Side effects?" Gaven’s brows furrowed even more.

"The energy in these Magic Grape Wines is unstable and tends to dissipate and evaporate. Your Ghost Grape Wine is somewhat better, thanks to its specialized packaging and stronger integration. The Holy Light Liquor we produce doesn’t stand up, though. Even if kept with the Just Hammer where Positive Energy is abundant, within less than ten days, they will revert to ordinary liquor. The Holy Light Liquor you purchased from us is likely also affected.

I was concerned that this batch of Ghost Grape Wine, if kept any longer with the Hammer of Holy Light, would become just a collection of ordinary wines. So, it’s necessary to transport them back to your estate for temporary storage until we figure out a solution and can return them," explained Valon.

"I see," Gaven expressed surprise but didn’t panic, "It’s indeed my oversight."

"This is not the responsibility of Duke Gaven alone. We were also blinded by the sheer potential for profit. We should have anticipated this issue and warned you, considering that Holy Water and Evil Water both only last for a period, generally reverting to ordinary water within twenty-four hours. It’s just that the liquor contained more Positive Energy and dissipated more slowly," said Valon, blaming himself.
