This time, I won't be the devil.

The YG members all had stern faces and raised their heads arrogantly. After the host introduced each person like reading out the names of dishes, they walked off the stage.

The audience in the audience felt puzzled. In Frey's opinion, they just wanted to show up to make their presence felt.

After stepping off the stage, Frey saw YG's president, Saby, walking up to Priest Mono.

Just as Frey was about to continue observing, Noelle reminded him:

"Frey, we should get ready."

"Ah."

Frey and the other actors went to the preparation room behind the stage to start applying makeup and checking props.

Frey donned a full-body armor suit that hid his face, while Van Damme donned a hilarious-looking dragon suit.

Time passes by minute by minute, and the time for the stage play is about to begin.

"Noelle, are you not ready yet?" Frey asked as he stood in front of the dressing room door.

"It's almost ready."

As the showpiece of the entire stage play, Noelle needs to undergo complex makeup to match the image of the legendary princess during the official performance.

Taking Noelle's gender into consideration, Frey gave the job to a contracted female employee of the Black Knights who was skilled in makeup.

"Boss Lei, please get ready to go on stage. I promise to give you a big surprise!" said the female employee enthusiastically.

In the labyrinth city of Grimgar, the "Dragon Quest" drama has been performed countless times. In order to increase the fun, some micro-innovations are made to this traditional story at the party every year.

This year, after discussion, Frey's crew decided to go for a comedic approach.

Ye Tailang, who was responsible for the script, gave full play to his imagination and made major changes to the stage play.

"This story is purely fictional and has nothing to do with any real people or groups..."

After the declaration of universal safety, the curtain opened and the stage play officially began. The whole play is divided into three acts.

Act 1: [The Princess Picking Mushrooms]

Narrator: 500 years ago, in the Principality of Jiji (a country that once existed in the southern part of the continent and was later annexed by the Federation), there was a princess named Nailong who was deeply loved by the people. On a sunny afternoon, the princess was picking mushrooms in the fields outside the castle. Everything seemed so comfortable and beautiful.

And when the silver-haired girl Nailong (Noelle), who had finished putting on makeup, walked onto the stage, everyone held their breath.

Her long hair flowing down like silver sand, her charming face with delicate features, and her dreamy golden eyes make her exude a dreamy feeling that seems to be beyond reality.

The white skirt fluttered in the wind, and the veil cast with light magic sparkled. In front of her, the spotlight seemed to lose its color.

Although her long hair is a wig, her eyes are cosmetic contact lenses, and her breasts are fake, it is undeniable that Noelle is now extremely beautiful.

"No wonder makeup is called witchcraft."

From Noelle at this moment, Frey vaguely saw the shadow of the Silver Scale Dragon Princess.

However, the next second, this noble and beautiful image was completely destroyed.

Following the script, Noelle picked up the prop mushrooms on the stage and hummed a mushroom-picking song with a bit of embarrassment:

“Inspiration gurgle gurgle gurgle~ Wow inspiration mushroom~~ Inspiration mushroom…”

Frey suddenly regretted turning the script into an abstract comedy.

But now that things have come to this, we can only continue to perform.

While Princess Nailong was picking mushrooms, the corpse dragon Jabbawok (Van Damme) suddenly appeared and captured her.

At the same time, background music sounded:

"A long time ago, a huge dragon suddenly appeared, brought disaster, took away the princess, and disappeared again..."

In order to defeat the dragon and rescue the princess, King Gigi (played by Wright) gave the dragon-slaying sword to the hero Green (played by Frey).

Before leaving for the battle, Green said to the children who came to see him off:

"Hello, all the children who like Nailong, I am Green, I will definitely rescue Nailong!"

……

Act 2: [True or False Nailong!?]

Narrator: The hero Green arrives at Jabbawk's lair, only to find that the despicable dragon has transformed into a princess (played by Palu in a matching princess dress) in an attempt to confuse him. Will the hero be able to identify the real Princess Nailon?

"I am Nailong!"

"I am Nailong!"

In order to convince the hero that he is the real one, the two Nailongs started various competitions, and a series of love comedy scenes broke out, which caused the audience below the stage to burst into laughter.

During this process, feelings developed between Yingxiong and Nailong.

Finally, faced with the simultaneous confessions of the two Nailons, Green had an idea and came up with a solution.

"I heard that Princess Nailong is very good at cooking. Let's compete with each other using food."

In a cooking duel, Jabba Walker created a delicious meal, while the princess created a lump of charcoal.

"Well, now you understand, I am Nailong!" Jabba Walker said proudly.

However, Green drew his sword against the dragon.

"I heard a long time ago from King Jiji that the real Nailong can't cook at all!"

……

Act III: [The Final Battle]

Narrator: After discovering the dragon's true identity, the battle between the hero and the dragon begins.

Van Damme and Fury adopted the unique duel style of Shin Higurashi - wrestling.

Frey had often practiced wrestling with Van Dam, so they worked well together and the battle was very tense.

But as time passed, Frey gradually fell into a disadvantage and was suppressed by Van.

At the critical moment, Frey took out a bottle of Fulida.

"What's that in your hand?"

"This is a drink that contains the power of sweet dreams, Fulida!"

After drinking the Fulda, Frey broke free from Van Damme and shouted to the audience:

"It's not enough, everyone, drink the Fulida quickly and lend me the power of sweet dreams!"

This unprecedented interactive stage play surprised the audience. At this time, one-third of the people in the square had bought Fulida, and they drank it when they saw it.

The atmosphere group that Frey had arranged in the square in advance also started to work. Driven by them, many people who originally did not drink soda bought a bottle for the sake of having fun.

The sounds of marble soda bottles opening came together, and Frey, who had gathered the power of dreams, fired a spirit bomb (a special effect created by light magic) and defeated the dragon.

At the end of the story, the hero and the princess embraced each other affectionately under the starry sky.

Seeing this scene, the audience in the square applauded.

They had never seen such a lively stage play before, and it seemed to be something very new.

After the play ended successfully, Father Mono walked onto the stage amid applause.

"Please don't leave in such a hurry, actors. To thank you for your contribution to the evening, our Vatican has prepared some gifts."

As is customary, at the end of the evening party, the representative of the Holy See will make a summary speech and then send blessings to the actors who participated in "Dragon Quest".

Following the staff's instructions, Frey retreated to the back of the stage with other actors. He was very curious about what Mono was planning.

After standing in the center of the stage, Mono addressed the audience and said:

"First and foremost, we would like to thank the crew at Shin-Nippori again for their wonderful performance, which re-enacted the battle between the hero Grimm and the dragon Jabberwock in a humorous and lighthearted way."

After hearing what Mono said, the audience, who were still excited after watching the performance, applauded again.

But at this point, Mono suddenly changed the subject.

"But the reality is not as easy as the story."

"I would like to take this opportunity to tell everyone present here something."

"Before that, let's review the disaster that happened 500 years ago."

To everyone's surprise, Mono, a priest, actually took out the Arcane Blade, which was supposed to be a prohibited item, and played a video.

The video shows the tragedies caused by Jabba Walker.

This is certainly not the real scene of that year, but a documentary filmed later. Under the influence of bloody pictures and eerie music, every viewer felt the threat of Jabba Walker.

"Through this video, I believe everyone has understood the horror of the evil dragon."

"And now, 500 years have passed, and there's a possibility that the dragon's seal will loosen again."

"Once the seal fails, the evil dragon will inevitably wreak havoc on the world again, and the Labyrinth City will be the first to suffer."

Hearing this, the audience showed uneasy expressions.

After laying the groundwork, Monod made an appeal:

"Don't worry, everyone. At the Pope's call, the Holy Light Knights have already dispatched their elite troops to escort the Saint Lady to the depths of the labyrinth to reinforce the seal."

"But the power of our Church alone is not enough. We hope that adventurers who are more familiar with the labyrinth will also actively participate in this expedition."

"The future of mankind must be protected in our own hands."

"Brave adventurers, let us unite and fight for humanity together!"

In the face of Mono's passionate speech, the adventurers in the audience could not be said to have responded unanimously, but at least they could be said to be indifferent.

Most of the adventurers in the labyrinth city are just a bunch of snobs. No matter how well Mono talks, no one will really be willing to join the expedition for the sake of humanity.

To impress them, you need enough benefits.

Just as the meeting room fell into an awkward silence, Mono spoke again.

"Of course, we have also prepared corresponding rewards for the adventurers who participate in the expedition."

Afterwards, the report from Mono shocked everyone.

The generous reward left all the adventurers dumbfounded.

Not only that, he also introduced the various benefits of participating in the expedition, as well as the troop strength and combat plan sent by the Holy Light Knights.

The plan is not only detailed and thorough, but also protects the safety of every adventurer participating in the expedition to the greatest extent possible.
