Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 227: Holy Ash Week 3

If you ask the audience who watched the premiere of "Dropped Head", after the headless horseman connects his head, the picture of blood gradually growing on the skull is not scary, and most viewers should say it is scary.

But Alexis knows that if the picture does not appear in the movie, but is really shown in front of people, it is far from horrible.

—She just witnessed a scene like this with her own eyes.

First, the bones were covered with bloodshot like worms;

Then the bloodshot coagulation gradually turns into hideous muscles;

The muscles gradually become dense, and finally they are covered with skin and hair...

It was difficult for Alexis to describe what kind of picture it was, but she was sure that she didn't want to watch it a second time.

—Of course, it was not the face of Christopher Walken, who played the headless knight in "Desktop", that appeared in front of her last.

—Not even Ruifan Phoenix.

It was a gentle man's face, coupled with his full tan hair, reminded Alexis of his literature teacher in elementary school for a moment.

"Will not be allowed, come back from the dead!"

The way the man speaks is a bit strange. Although he also spoke English, Alexis always felt that something was wrong.

"He speaks Old English!"

Charlotte looked at each other,

"Hey, am I right? You said that, it should have been a long time since you were born? Isn't it a person of Shakespeare's contemporaries?"

"Earlier, Shakespeare!"

The man shook his head. This makes Charlotte a little pity,

"I also wish I could meet a ghost who met Shakespeare!"

"There is no chance, you!"

The man still speaks in Old English,

"It will die if you don't stop."

"Yes?"

Faced with threats from the other side, Charlotte disagreed.

"Unfortunately, it's past 12 o'clock in the night, and it's not Halloween anymore-whether you are a ghost or a headless horseman, your strongest days are gone!"

"so what?"

Men also disagree. It seemed to him that he didn't need to do his best to deal with Charlotte.

Charlotte saw this too,

"It seems you are very confident! But don't forget, after Halloween, today is Wednesday!"

With that, Charlotte hooked the branch with her toes and hung upside down on the tree of death.

"Woden`sday!"

Seeing Charlotte's figure hanging upside down, the brown-haired man in the form of a headless horseman suddenly became serious.

On the other side, Alexis also understood—

Wednesday (Wednesday) actually means Woden`sday. And Woden (Woden) is the name of the Nordic **** Odin in Germanic.

—Before, Charlotte explained this knowledge to Alexis and Charlize during the filming of "Dale of the End".

According to Charlotte's theory that spells originate from the human heart, Odin's power will reach the strongest every Wednesday. And Charlotte is now making this upside-down posture, obviously intending to borrow Odin's power.

—After all, Odin is also known as the Hanged Man.

—As the main **** of the Nordic system, Odin once hung himself upside down on a tree for nine days and nine nights, thus creating the ancient Runes.

Looking at the figure of Charlotte hanging upside down on the tree of death, Alexis realized that this guy must have made plans long ago.

"Actually, I made a decision when I confirmed that "Driftwood" will be released on Halloween in the UK, which is on Tuesday, October 31st—"

Charlotte remained hanging upside down. With a wave of his hand, a large number of ancient writings gleaming on the trunk of the tree of death suddenly appeared.

"I delayed the premiere time not only to avoid the local Halloween in the UK, but also to wait for the arrival of Wednesday!"

"Borrow Odin's power, do you think!?"

The man incarnation of the Headless Horseman looked remorseful, obviously he did not expect Charlotte to play such a trick.

"If you are in trouble, take out the biggest gun first!"

Charlotte gave a smirk.

"After all, most of the systems of local British myths and legends are essentially variants of Nordic or Germanic myths. Then, the ghosts of local British, no matter what, when facing the power of Odin—"

-Will be suppressed by instinct!

Alexis understood it all at once.

This means that no matter how powerful the British are, when they meet the Queen of England, they always stand up short.

What's more, Odin's power, unlike the Queen of England, only has symbolic meaning.

and-

"In order to deal with the dusk of the gods, Odin would collect the undead of the dead, so he also has the title of King of the Undead."

Charlotte pointed to the headless horseman,

"A war dead like you can't defy Odin's power at all."

"War dead, I am not!"

The headless horseman's answer was a bit beyond Charlotte's expectation.

After all, in his opinion, with the exception of Ruifan Phoenix's situation that was induced by others to become a headless horseman, most of the ghosts that can become a headless horseman are very powerful.

Before these ghosts were alive, it could be said that they were all mighty warriors or invincible commanders.

Only the person who killed countless enemies and was decapitated in the end was qualified to become a truly powerful headless knight.

And the headless knight in front of him clearly had a boundless murderous and destructive aura, but he just said he was not a war dead.

—How can the head be chopped off if you don’t die in battle?

Charlotte doesn't think that people whose heads are chopped off by the guillotine or the executioner can become headless knights, unless their heads are completely lost...

and many more-

Charlotte suddenly thought of a possibility,

"Knight, after your head was cut off, wasn't it hung on the spire of Westminster Abbey?"

The headless knight's face suddenly looked ugly.

"Oh, I guess I was right!"

Charlotte hung upside down and bowed.

"It's really disrespectful, Lord Protector!"

Oliver Cromwell was the leader of the independent faction in the British bourgeois revolution in the 17th century.

In the two civil wars from 1642 to 1648, he commanded the "Iron Cavalry" and the New Model Army successively and defeated the royal party army.

In June 1645, he won a decisive victory over the royal party at the Battle of Nasibi.

In 1649, under the pressure of urban civilians and homesteaders, King Charles I was executed and the republic was announced.

In 1653, he established a military dictatorship and appointed himself "the protector of the country."

-Cromwell can be said to be a person who has an extremely profound influence on the process of British history.

And the reason why Charlotte guessed that the headless horseman was him, of course, combined his old English habit and the clues that he was in an era later than Shakespeare, but it was more because Cromwell's head was indeed affected. Chopped off.

—After death.

After Cromwell's death, Charles II was restored. He exhumed Cromwell's body from the buried Westminster Abbey in London and hanged it symbolically.

For a long time afterwards, Cromwell's head was hung on the spire of Westminster Abbey.

-Therefore, Cromwell is indeed not a war dead.

But he was a powerful commander, UU reading www.uukanshu.com eventually lost his head.

—In Charlotte’s view, such an experience, if transformed into a headless knight, is absolutely appropriate and extremely powerful.

Even Charlotte felt that he might be the most powerful headless horseman in Britain.

—This is why Charlotte made the guess.

Movies about headless knights like "Guillotine Valley" are shown in the UK. It is reasonable to attract the strongest headless knights!

Of course, even if the guess is wrong, it has no effect on Charlotte.

—This is why he really dared to guess wildly.

However, now that she is right, Charlotte feels that the situation is immediately beneficial to her—

After all, knowing the real name of the ghost still has a great influence on it.

Charlotte felt it was time for her solution—

PS1: "Ash Wednesday" is an American movie released in 1973, starring Elizabeth Taylor and Henry Fonda. PS2: The Old English spoken by the Headless Horseman, I directly adopted the method of Master Yoda in the Star Wars series, and expressed it in inverted sentences. But the actual Old English is not like that. Don't get me wrong. PS3: always use the biggun, this is an American slang, simple to understand, that is, don't hide it all the time, come up with tricks, and solve the problem quickly. PS4: The story about Cromwell is basically true. Regarding his head, I also mentioned it specifically before, it can be considered a foreshadowing! PS5: In the same way, Odin's story, as I said before, is also a foreshadowing. PS6: Finally, my setting for Wednesday is OK, right? It happens that today is also Wednesday.
