[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The multi-eyed monster used them to capture and store its praise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although they were left behind by the monster, their instinct still exists. That's a reasonable explanation, Roland thought. The monster apparently didn't store its praise as food.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's more likely that it was collecting information about the other species.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Given that, it's possible that it would let the worms store them as jelly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No matter what, let's start to develop the new weapon as soon as possible, said Roland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now that we have the ideal gelling agent, the remaining work will be easy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After all, you need to take a good rest now for your future exploration into the chemistry world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland immediately realized who she was talking about and asked, Is that demon still alive?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They had transferred Kabardabi's soul into a crippled body to confuse its mind and had taken the chance to interrogate it and get much useful information.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unfortunately, since it had gotten used to the human body, it had remained silent. Apparently, it would not give them any more information.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland had left it to the tequila witches, thinking that it would either kill itself or get tortured to death by the vengeful witches. Surprisingly, it was still alive. Yes, it's alive and well. It eats up all the food we bring to them every day, Pasha said. It seems that it doesn't want to die at all. It refuses to surrender or confess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's confidently waiting for the complete failure of humanity, believing that it'll be free sooner or later. It's so ambitious and determined.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it because it thinks being killed by some bugs is a huge humiliation? Roll unthought and smirk mockingly. That's a good idea. Let's take it to the weapon test.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the inner city area of the Old King's City, Cajun Fells was reading a script at his study inside his theater.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After a while, the silence was broken by a round of warm applause from outside his study, which meant that a wonderful play had come to an end. At this moment, he also finished reading the script.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He took off his glasses and rubbed his sore eyes. Then he closed the script and placed it back on the shelf beside his desk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The title of the story on the script's cover page is The Wolf Princess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This movie script was placed together with many other scripts from Neverwinter, including those such as The Witch's Story, New City, and Dawn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] May have given unto him as a farewell present, which his students had regarded as making a mockery out of him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Surprisingly, Cajun Fels, a well-known playwright, had accepted all of the scripts and brought them back to his own theater.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He placed them in the most convenient position on his bookshelf, and by now he had already read each of them several times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In his view, all these scripts lacked an engaging plot as well as a vivid storytelling style.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He reckoned that the writer must have been a beginner who was only able to write the story in a straightforward manner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, he still kept reading these stories since he had nothing else to do at the moment. He found himself unable to write a stage play anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whenever he picked up his quill, he would think of the scenes that he had seen in the magical movie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those images would somehow sneak into his mind and occupy his thoughts, making it difficult for him to envision a stage performance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Someone who had tasted honey could hardly be satisfied with the sweetness of dew. That was how he felt now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Watching the magical movie was a really eye-opening experience for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unlike stage plays, the magical movie could show much more realistic scenes and can even present close-up images of the characters to its audiences.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Such a mind-blowing experience had inspired him and given him many new ideas, but unfortunately, he had not acquired a chance to take part in a magical movie production.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But this discouraging fact did not stop him from thinking about the new techniques he had spotted in the magical movie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whenever he had an idea for a story, he would begin to wonder on how he was going to present it in a magical movie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He wanted to use close-up images of the characters smiling faces to show audiences how they felt when they met each other for the first time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For their separation, he wanted to show a bleak background that gradually widened. Such ideas kept coming to him continuously. But none of these ideas were suitable for a stage play. He became stuck and felt depressed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Only by reading the scripts from Neverwinter could he temporarily forget about his troubles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, he was clear that reading them could not solve his problems. But he had no choice at the moment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man refused to disclose more details about the magical movie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The administrative office had not responded to his request. It seemed that Neverwinter had completely shut him out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Until he could find a different way to learn more about the magical movie, he knew that he would continue to suffer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At this moment, his maid knocked on the door and said, Mr. Fells, here are some letters for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While closing his eyes, he leaned back into his chair and said, put it outside, I'll check them later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every time after a play, his students, such as Renkin and Agrippo, would come to his study to discuss their performance with him and ask for his advice. He intended to take some rest before they arrived.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, there's a letter with Greycastle's Royal Seal on the envelope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You told me that if it's a letter from Neverwinter, I should give it to you, um, before the maid finished her sentence. Cajun suddenly opened the door. Where is it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The maid was startled and hurriedly handed a stack of letters to him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He quickly picked up the letter from Neverwinter and threw all the other letters back to the maid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The next moment, he slammed the door upon the stunned maid and swiftly returned to his desk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He opened the wax sealed envelope and examined the letter. To his great surprise, it was from the king.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Does the king finally know that we went to Neverwinter and wanted to perform a play for his coronation ceremony?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I can directly contact the king, will I have a chance to know more about the magical movie? Thrilled by the thought, he excitedly read the letter. How many roses did you receive today?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Agripo asked Renkin as they walked together towards Cajun study.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] About a dozen. I didn't count them. Renkin replied as she shrugged.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've received much fewer roses than before, but that's alright. I don't care.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Aha, if your admirers heard these words, their hearts would break, Agrippa laughed and said. It's inevitable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have smaller audiences for the plays ever since the king had sent over half of the nobles to the mines and made Neverwinter the new king city.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But as long as this city still stands, things will gradually improve.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're lucky enough to receive flowers in the current situation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There were six toops in the city, but now three of them have already become bankrupt. I hope that we won't be the next one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alas, that war changed everything, rent and side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ahem, ladies, we also need to see the benefits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Egripo cleared his throat and continued, We've expanded rapidly after taking in the former members of the three disbanded troops. We can survive regardless of who is the king. Come on, hold your chin up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't look so frustrated because Mr. Fells is waiting for us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thinking about the drama master, everyone simultaneously nodded their heads and cheered up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After Cajun troops bid her return from Neverwinter, they all worked hard to improve themselves in trying to win honor for their teacher, Mr. Fells.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They all hated May because she had refused to tell Mr. Fells how the magical movie was made and had even said that it was confidential. Mr. Fells. Agrippo opened the door of the study and then stood agape. He found that Mr. Fells did not look normal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had expected that his teacher to be waiting for them comfortably in his chair as usual. But now he saw him listlessly standing by his desk. Mr. Fells, is there something wrong? Burness asked with concern. I have received a letter from Neverwinter. It's from the king. Cajun picked up the letter on the desk and said to them. Here, take a look. Is it okay? That's all right. Read it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hearing that, Egripo took the letter. The people around him all leaned over to read it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seeing the excited look on their faces, Cajun discreetly sighed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He knew that they must have taken it as a letter of apology like what he had thought in the beginning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just as he expected, his students were delighted to see the letter from the king and believed that the king must have already discovered and punished the person who had prevented Cajun troupe from performing a play for the coronation ceremony.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, the content of the letter was entirely beyond their expectations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The King was forthcoming in answering questions about the magical movie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the letter, he explicitly explained that it was made by a special instrument which was capable of recording images.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His majesty also said that he could not provide this instrument for another troop since it was extremely rare.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] According to the letter, this instrument could only be made and operated by witches and was made of some rare materials from an ancient relic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At present, we need to mobilize all the resources in all the regions of Grey Castle for the imminent battle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Given the unique viewing experience and the great disseminating effect of magical movies, both of which I think you've already witnessed in The Wolf Princess, I've decided to let these movies play an important part in spreading information and awareness for the war effort.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's regrettable that at present, I can't afford to use the instrument to shoot other movies that are not directly related to national policies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But please rest assured as this situation is only temporary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After the war, when Grey Castle returns to peacetime, magical movies will gradually become a popular art form and everyone will be able to shoot such a movie one day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the time comes, I believe you and your troupe will produce an outstanding movie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cajun could accept this explanation about the magical movie, but he still felt heartbroken after reading the letter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was because he knew from the letter that it was the king himself who had turned down Cajun troops offered to perform a play for the coronation ceremony. He felt hurt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It turned out that from the very beginning it had only been his own wishful thinking to perform for the king.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Considering that such a well-prepared play had failed to garner favorable attention from the king,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cajun believed his majesty was just being nice to compliment his troop in the letter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He felt regretful for being so full of himself and for unjustly blaming May.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After reading the letter, everyone fell into an awkward silence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After a long time, Bernis mumbled bitterly, I knew we shouldn't expect too much from him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Think about what everybody said about Prince Roland in the past and his favorite hangouts in the city. I thought he changed after he became the king, but... Hush. Egripo pulled her arm to stop her. Be careful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All the nobles who can still come to the theater are his supporters. Even if they are not, they will pretend to be loyal to him. If someone heard what you just said, you would have been in trouble.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It seems that we can never make it to Neverwinter in this lifetime, Rincon sighed and said. That's not a big deal. We're very popular here. Egripo comforted her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cajun Troop is still a first-rate troop in all cities except Neverwinter. We can support ourselves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But magic movies will come here sooner or later. Cajuns suddenly interjected.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Recently, I've been reading the scripts Mei gave me, and I found the stories had one thing in common.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All of them are set in an imaginary world, an ideal world His Majesty wants to achieve.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He intends to use these movies to spread his ideas and promote his national policies so he won't just play them in Neverwinter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can you still be so confident about stage plays when magic movies come here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Agripo thought for a moment and suggested, we, we can go to another country, such as the Kingdom of Dawn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Fells, the theaters there will be more than happy to accept us, if you ask. No, I won't go to the Kingdom of Dawn, Cajun replied while shaking his head. How about we?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It'll take at least a month for the troop to go there and back, and during this period of time, the troop will have no money coming in. Egripo said urgently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll be alright, but the new actors and apprentices will be unable to make ends meet and will probably leave the troupe for this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cajun knew that it was hard to take the whole troop to Neverwinter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Without a feeder that was willing to take them in, they would have to prepare all the props and goods by themselves, which was not an easy task.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The next moment, Cajun said something which was completely beyond everybody's expectations. I'll go there by myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This time, his students remained speechless for an even longer time before they asked hesitantly, What are you going to do in Neverwinter?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Try to be a magic movie actor, Cajun said slowly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His majesty said that these movies are going to become a popular art form someday. But he didn't say how long it'll take to popularize this art form. 10 years or 20 years. I can't wait for such a long time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if it only takes five years, it'll be too late for us to learn the magic movie at that time, and by then Starflower Troop will be far ahead of us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cajun believed that the best time to catch up with a trend was at the beginning of it. But his majesty has star flower troop already. Bennys murmured.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Starflower Troop only has May and Irene. Cajun glanced at his students and said,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Any troop has to practice repeatedly to present an outstanding performance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mace Troop can't cope with all the movies his majesty wants to shoot, so Neverwonder may be willing to let us stay to reduce Starflower Troop's workload.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if we can outshine them in some type of drama, which they're not good at, such as a farce, we may have a chance to act in a magic movie. Are you willing to play a role in a farce? Egripo could not believe what he had heard and asked. Life is about tradeoffs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most of the time, if you want to get something, you have to give up another thing for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if we can only act in a farce, we should do our best.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He paused for a moment before adding, of course, his majesty may turn us down again. When that happens, I'll join Starflower troop. Do any of you wanna come with me? No one answered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cajun guessed that they might just be too stunned to say anything at this moment or reluctant to leave the old king city. He understood their feelings. They reacted just as he had expected.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In fact, he himself also got shocked by this sudden idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As Agrippo had said, as the most venerated playwright in the world of today, he could continue his career even in the Kingdom of Dawn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, he decided to give up the theatre for magic movies, which was not an easy choice at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because of his age, he could not move quickly and easily on the stage and his memory was not as good as before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If this drama master really worked as an actor, he would only be able to play a walk-on part.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No matter how well he acted, it would inevitably become a joke in the eyes of others.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many years ago, as a famous actor, he had given up his acting job and begun to write plays.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since then he had never thought about returning to the stage as an actor. However, now he had no choice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The king had turned down his troop and he did not seem to appreciate his stories very much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Meanwhile, he was unable to write plays like New City and Dawn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Given these, he thought he probably could only join Starflower Troupe as an actor to take part in magic movie production. This is incredible. His students still stood agape. Cajun could see how shocked they were at a glance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was indeed an incredibly bold decision, but after making this decision he finally felt relieved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was not young anymore, but at this moment he felt young at heart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This feeling reminded him how happy and inspired he had been during his first visit to the theater.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since then, 30 years had passed and he had never felt the same impulse until he saw the magic movie. Nothing could stop him from pursuing his dream.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Among you, Agrippo has worked with me for the longest time and he knows how to manage a troop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I'm away, he'll run the troop on behalf of me, Cajun said calmly. Many talented young people have joined our troop recently. Give them more chances to make an appearance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As long as audiences come to our theater to watch plays, you'll be able to support yourselves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The student still wanted to say something, but were immediately stopped by Cajun. He decided to listen to his heart. He wanted to follow his dream. He wanted to act in a magic movie. Neverwonder had produced its first napalm bomb.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As Roland had expected, it did not take the Alchemists a long time to make it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Only a week after finding the ideal thickening agent, the Ministry of Chemicals successfully manufactured the first napalm bomb.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It consisted of a dozen identical iron cylinders, which were 1 meter high and 30 centimeters in diameter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Explosives were contained inside the cylinders, and the fuses of all the cylinders were connected together. Your Majesty, this is the bomb I designed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I call it Burning City Thunder, Retneen said excitedly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are three different substances inside the cylinders. At the bottom, there's the snow powder layer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The combustion supporting layer is in the middle and the fuel layer is at the top.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The former chief alchemist of the Alchemist Workshop of the Old King's City thought he finally got a chance to replace Kyle Cici and talked on and on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Apparently, he was very proud of his work, and many details in his design did impress Roland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Apart from the clear arrangement of the three layers inside the cylinders, he also used an electric detonator and adopted the delayed ignition technology to further boost the bomb's killing power.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When this bomb was ignited, the cylinders would explode one by one and would not affect each other adversely. Roland had to admit Retning was very talented.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He found Retnin was particularly interested in creating bombs and explosives. He only doubted his ability to name his works. But for Roland, it was not a big deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After all, when this kind of weapon became operational, he was the only one who had the right to name it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well then, let's test your burning city thunder now, Roland said smilingly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The test site was at a valley down the impassable mountain range.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was surrounded by mountains and never before imprinted by the foot of man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With no access to public transit, it was quite difficult for people to reach this area unless with the help of an airplane or a tunnel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Therefore, this was the best place to conduct some secret projects.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Napalm weapons were by no means something of extreme secrecy, but there were some rare spectators. Ah, the air here is so refreshing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can smell flowers and fresh soil, said Celine as she emerged from the crack of rocks while swaying her tentacle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It has been over 200 years since I saw the blue sky last time. Retning shuddered. He looked at Roland, panic-striking and lost.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everyone would be horrified by the sight of a giant blob monster coming out of the ground.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If this was a disaster movie, the appearance of such a monster was definitely a turning point of the story where background music normally kicked in. Not to mention that the giant monster could actually speak.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If one could still maintain his composure upon such a site, Roland would think he was a competent official.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was also why Roland had selected this valley as his test site. Don't worry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They used to be human too, but the demons turned them into monsters. Roland comforted the alchemist as he patted him on the shoulder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They communicate through their minds, and that's why you heard their voices.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you want to talk to them, just say it aloud or within yourself, like this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's because Celine locks herself up all day in the research room, said Pash's voice as she emerged from the earth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The God's punishment witches have been talking about their experience in the dream world lately. There's a specific word that describes her lifestyle. I remember you call a person like her a shut-in. I somehow remember there are two adjectives before that. Alathia put in as she appeared with the senior demon. Do you really want me to say them? Oh, not really. Roland raised his brows at Retinine and said, see? They aren't that scary, are they?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They sacrifice their human bodies in exchange for a life of eternity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their new bodies are highly resistant to heat and corrosion, which means they can directly touch many chemicals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their tentacles are sensitive to different materials, which enables them to conduct multiple experiments at the same time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although Retnin declined Roland's offer, he no longer avoided eye contact with the senior witches from Tequila.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Instead, there was a bite of curiosity in his look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland shook his head in amusement and walked to the demon binded by ropes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although the demon had lost its legs, Roland did not want to take chance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This body used to belong to a God's punishment warrior after all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roll and crouch down, look straight into the demon's eyes and said, you are Carp. Rattaby, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Without connecting to a person, the demon could not understand the human language even though it was currently in a human vessel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, the overt hatred and animosity in the demon's eyes seemed to have transcended the language barrier between them, so blatant that everyone knew what it was trying to convey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland, continued indifferently. I prepare a firework display for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You committed atrocities against the human population on the land of Dawn and destroyed more than half of our kingdom. Now it's time for us to retaliate. Enjoy the show. He then nodded at Retnin and said, go ahead. The alchemist cast a glance at the demon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Knowing that he was not supposed to question the king's order, he simply shouted, yes, your majesty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everybody descended into the underground tunnel after everything was in order, leaving the demon alone on the cliff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In an instant, red flames erupted from the center of the valley.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unlike the high explosives used in their maneuver, the firelight was dimmed by a cloud of thick, black smoke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Neither the noise nor the impact produced by the explosion was as impressive as that by the high explosives.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they soon noticed a big difference between this new weapon and the old one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Through a porthole, they could clearly see thick smog rise slowly and spread across the sky, as though some giant hand had dropped a misty mantle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The hot air pushed fuels up into the air, which cascaded down to the ground like fiery lava and blasted like open umbrellas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After these umbrellas opened up, flickers of red light grew brighter and soon turned into a flood of flames.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland knew this was a result of the reaction of the aluminum with the iron oxides and the combustion supporting layer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The energy released from this chemical reaction caused a second explosion that lasted for several seconds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the explosives rained down, the valley was immediately ablaze.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although Roland and his party were currently in a relatively safe area, they could still sense hot waves coming from the explosion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Due to the pull of gravity, the thick smoke and the flames finally separated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The smoke dissipated while the fire spread throughout the entire test site.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There had been a forest and a brook at the center of the valley, but they were now both aflame.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roland did not think it necessary to check whether their testing animals were still alive at this point anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the other side of the tunnel, Alathea curled up her main tentacle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If only there was a weapon like this in the tequila age, thought she.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since fire was the natural enemy of the red mist, the demons never left any visible combustible materials around their outpost.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was impossible to ignite firewood to disperse the red mist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if the witches managed to produce flame sources with a high temperature, they had to apply their magic power to make them work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nevertheless, the new weapon offered them a possibility to instantly wipe out the demon's lair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they could successfully transport the weapon into the outpost, they would be able to cut a path for the army.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In that case, the God's punishment witches would also have a greater chance of survival as they no longer needed to protect common soldiers from the demons and the red mist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alathia almost foresaw a flaming mist storage tower gradually turn into a blinding pillar of fire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The three senior witches exchanged their ideas quickly in their original carriers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Without a single word, they reached a mutual understanding among themselves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alathia stole a glance at the mortal man and heaved a sigh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a pity that he had not been born 400 years ago. The flames finally subsided after four hours. The whole valley was raised to the ground.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Roland came out of the tunnel, he had an illusion that it was midsummer rather than early spring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As they had cleaned up the surroundings earlier, the fire had not reached their shelter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As for the God's punishment witches, they could not sense heat anyway, so the explosion caused them no harm by any means.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Roland clearly spied a hint of disbelief in the demon's eyes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was probably what Pasha and the other God's punishment witches expected to see. The tequila witches did not think the demon would yield.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They just wanted it to know that the creatures they had been looking down upon all this time had now the capability to annihilate them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chapter 1077 The Front on the Fertile Land


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She patted her flat chest and blew a whistle. Come out, my servant Momoda.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A blue ball instantly appeared in Madeira and gradually grew bigger until it reached the height of the treetops.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It stretched out its two arms, scooped up the rails on the ground, and gulped them down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, the rails were too long so the two ends of the rails stuck out of the ball. It looked as if the blue ball was punctured by the rails. Momo, ta. But I remember that last time you called it Momoka. Really? Molly said with her head lopsided. That doesn't matter. What matters is that I pronounce her name out loud. Isn't that how you demonstrate your power? Um.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Leaf pondered for a while and asked, did Mystery Moon tell you to do that? How did you know? Molly asked in surprise. She also asked me to join the detective group.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After the release of the magical movie The Wolf Princess, many viewers were impressed with the scene where Lorda transformed into a wolf and bravely lunged at her enemy to save her sister.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Further encouraged by the detective group, young witches in Neverwinter started to shout their slogans out loud whenever they applied their abilities, and this had gradually become a new trend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Molly was surprised that Leaf also knew about the latest trend in the city considering that she usually confined her activities within the Misty Forest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The last time she had seen her in Neverwinter was at the King's coronation ceremony. Aye.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, nothing. Leaf evaded the question with a cough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She turned in the direction of Neverwinter and said, they have delivered new supplies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although Molly really wanted to know how Leaf kept herself up to date, she suppressed her curiosity and waved goodbye to her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the next second, leaf transformed into a spirit and disappeared into the thick forest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Molly learned that Leaf could cross the misty forest within a blink of an eye. Leaf practically knew everything about the forest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As Leaf drew magic power out of thousands of trees, she could manipulate plants and thus continuously supply construction materials to the front.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Compared to her, Molly's magic servant worked much more slowly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now Molly had a vague understanding of the power of evolution. Molly wondered when she would become as powerful as Leaf.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She had been living in Neverwinter for four or five months and had learned the basics of reading and writing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She thought her ability might evolve after she finished reading Principles of Nature.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Molly clamored up the magic servant and directed Momoda to leave the forest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thousands of workers were busy repairing tower station number zero, which was located near the railway that stretched away to the northeast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The station was the first stop on the way to the Tequila Ruins and also the terminus station of the route to the forest. A blockhouse stood at each corner of the station.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The four blockhouses were connected by trenches and parapets as one unit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The workers were wearing various clothes. Some of them were even half naked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was hard to associate such a scene with the upcoming battle had Molly not known about the King's plan beforehand. Hey, isn't it Miss Molly? Thanks for coming to help us. We're going to bother you again today. The train unit is swamped. Miss Molly, we tipped over a steam engine. Could you make it stand upright?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many people stopped to greet Molly or asked for her help as she pushed through the crowd and slowly walked down the railway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was remembered by many workers even though she had been here for only a week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although Molly's main task was to make sure nothing happened to the seagull, she was ready to help others, just like what she was used to be doing back on the sleeping island. Molly felt really happy when her help was appreciated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When she had been on the sleeping island, only the witches and a small number of people from the fjords would show gratitude for her work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There had been little she could do other than loading and unloading ships back then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But now, she could help with many things here and was treated as a celebrity. Her heart was constantly filled with pride and happiness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As long as the seagull remained on the ground, she was free to wander around the railway construction site.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The scenery beyond tower station number zero was slightly different. Wisps of smoke came into Molly's sight. They billowed from trains.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In fact, these steel monsters were the main transportation tool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They supplied materials to the front non-stop as if they would never become tired.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Molly had transferred only a very small portion of the materials.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unfortunately, according to Princess Tilly, it was not easy to build these trains.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They needed the Seagull to facilitate the transportation between Neverwinter and the front because there was only two to three trains in the entirety of Neverwinter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Regardless of how the battle on the furl planes would unfold, they had to make sure that the logistics and production at the rear were not interrupted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As Molly approached the end of the railway, she saw more uniformed soldiers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After a week of observation, Molly could now distinguish the new recruits from the veterans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those who stole a glance at her every now and then during a class were usually newbies, whereas those who bowed their heads or were too focused on polishing their weapons to pay attention to her were normally seasoned soldiers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are different types of demons, said an instructor as he tapped a picture on the blackboard. The most common type is the mad demon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have large bodies, thick arms, and are good at throwing bone spears.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only way to save your lives is to pull the trigger and finish them before they kill you. Neither fleeing nor yielding would work in this situation. Do you understand? Yes, the class shouted in unison.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, next one, the instructor said as he pointed to another picture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This one, with its eyes on its forehead, is called the fearsome demon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are not many of them, but they're far more powerful than ordinary mad demons. They can paralyze your movements when they see you. You basically can't do anything except to wait for your death.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, you can protect yourself with a god stone of retaliation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everybody at the front will receive a god stone, although there is a chance that you may encounter them when you are not wearing a god stone. What should we do then?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pray to your grandmother or picture someone or something you adore in your head. Use every possible means to overcome your fear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get out of here and go back to the construction site if you don't want to be in my class. The man immediately ducked away. Molly felt she preferred the new recruits over the veterans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She twitched her lips and urged the magic servant to move forward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After another few hundred meters, she reached the very end of the railway where some laborers, soldiers and witches were working together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She immediately caught sight of a girl with flaxen hair in a work suit. It was the Queen of Grey Castle, Queen Anna Wimbledon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whether it was her figure, fashion, or appearance, Queen Anna was not the most outstanding one among the witches.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To keep it out of the way while she was working, she tied her smooth hair into a ponytail.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her work clothes, which were designed by Roland, focused on functionality over style.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The cuffs and collar were tightly bundled and it was stained with dust as she had stayed in the wild for long periods of time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If someone met her for the first time, they would be not believe she was the queen of Grey Castle. But Molly greatly admired her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because even if someone didn't know Anna was the queen, they would understand that she was an important person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was surrounded by high officials in Neverwinter, for example, Carl Van Bate, the Minister of Construction, Edith Kent, the head of general staff, etc.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The route of the railway, the speed of advancement, and the construction arrangements all needed to be discussed with her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In other words, even if she were not a witch, she would still be the focus of everyone's attention.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Despite being completely ignorant of what they were discussing, Molly felt that Anna, who stood tall, surveying the land, holding maps, and discussing plans, was really gorgeous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Especially when she focused on work. Anna's lake blue eyes shined with light like unblemished gems.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When working with Anna, both recruits and veterans would defer to her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Molly thought for a moment and ultimately decided not to interrupt her highness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Instead, she directed her magic servant to avoid the crowd and unloaded the rails in the storage area.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just after she laid down the rails, Shavy peeped over a pile of bricks and asked, Did you go over to the forest again? Molly immediately had a bad feeling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Molly yelled, if you're discovered, what will people think of sleeping spell? I'm going to tell Lady Tilly. I was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Force by them to come here, said Margie, lowering her head and wringing her hands. Who is slacking off?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shavy retorted, I unloaded all these bricks from the train. Otherwise, the workers would still be unloading them. I'm just resting after I finished my work. How can you say I'm slacking off? You should know that tea time is as important as work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An elegant lady knows how to keep a balance between them, Andrea said, combing her blonde hair with her fingers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since Margie is here, she can make sure no one will find us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After all, it's definitely not allowed to cause trouble for Lady Tilly. Don't worry about it. By the way, do you want to join us? For playing cards, the more the merrier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course not. Molly was interrupted by an alarm as she was preparing to argue with Andrea. Woo woo woo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Three short blasts meant the discovery of hostile forces.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She quickly looked to the northeast, only to see nothing but half-melted snow and weeds across the vast plain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The enemy was discovered by either Sylvie or Lightning and they gave an advanced warning. So you won't see anything yet. Shavy reminded her. Oh, no. Her highness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Molly suddenly remembered that the Queen of Grey Castle would be in harm's way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She had heard more than once about Anna's unique significance to King Roland and Neverwinter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Therefore, she should do everything possible to guarantee her safety. As Molly started to run back, Shavy caught her. Her highness is naturally protected by the guards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You won't be of much help if you go back there. Shavy shook her head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Based on the speed of the flying demons, Her Highness has at least 10 to 15 minutes to take shelter before the enemy arrives.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] According to our orders, if there is no prior arrangement for a combat plan, the first thing to do when confronted with an unexpected enemy is to protect yourself and then go to the nearest first army, Tequila God's Punishment Witch or other combat groups. So you don't have to go anywhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stay here and protect me. Andrea had already climbed up on the top of the brick pile with her rifle. Leave it to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just as Shavy said, after Molly climbed onto the brick pile, she found the huge construction site was empty, as if the previous busy scene had never existed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She could faintly see heads in the trenches and some gun emplacements.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The train shut down and a sense of seriousness pervaded the entire front. Sylvie, were you the one who spotted the demons?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Andrea took out a sigil of listening and asked, how many are there? No, this warning was sent by lightning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sylvie's reply came from the sigil after a while. It seems that there are only four devil beasts with mad demons. The direction is on your right side. There is no trace of senior demons. Only four? It seems like this is just an accidental encounter. Probably, but don't take it too easy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sylvie warned, you should be able to see them in five minutes. A few minutes later, the demons arrived as expected.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The four dark spots were particularly striking under the bright sky. They undoubtedly saw the railway on the fertile plains.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was strange was that the demons did not attack, but instead hovered at a distance. What are they hesitating about? Shavy frowned. That's not the demon's style. Can you hit them? Molly asked. No, they're too far away. Andrea shrugged. Too many variable for the coin toss.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course, there is another method. Molly automatically ignored the part which she could not understand and asked, what method? For example, a gun with a larger caliber.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She smiled and pointed to the side of the brick pile. Can your magic servant do me a favor?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Until then, Molly hasn't noticed this gun of incredible size. Its barrel was over a meter long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She immediately realized what Andrea meant. She could not use such a heavy weapon alone. Have you been taking this with you when you played cards? Thanks to Margie, Andrea said, shrugging.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Besides, carrying a variety of weapons is just a basic requirement for a soldier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Molly stopped talking and raised her hand to summon her magic servant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She grabbed the giant gun and placed it on top of its head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the same time, she ordered Momoda to lower its body and spread itself into an oval cushion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Andrea squeezed the shrunken arms of the magic servant into her ears and then held the gun handle. Don't forget to cover your ears. Simultaneously, she pulled the trigger. A loud bang exploded from the gun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A few seconds later, a demon exploded into red mist in the air.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, of course not. I'm quiet and careful with them. And with the little ones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm the best friend and writing teacher those children have. It's not them, it's the boys, he said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other children rode me for nearly two hours. Then the boys rode me, one after the other, for an hour, hitting me with a stick. I didn't get annoyed, but I did get tired.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I stopped once or twice to let them know. But boys think horses like a machine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And don't mean to be cruel, but they have to learn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When they told James he was angry to see those big sticks and told the boys not to use them again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would give those boys a good kick, said Ginger. I know you would, said Merrylegs, but they expect me to look after those children, and they expect me to be good-tempered, and I will be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You never had a place where they were kind to you, Ginger, and I'm sorry for you. But good places make good horses, and I wouldn't make our people angry for anything. If I started kicking people, they would very quickly sell me, perhaps to someone cruel. I hope that never happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Winners' only daughter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, Kang Mi-kyung. What were you thinking when I borrowed 50,000 won and 100,000 won from you on the day you left?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You call yourself Cinderella's true heart? When you go outside, you act like an orphan, and when you go home, you become a princess?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chapter 11 Pip Attends a Burial


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A black-edged envelope was delivered to me at Herbert's Rums.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The letter inside informed me that Mrs. J. Gargery had died the previous Monday, and that the burial would be next Monday at 3pm. This news came as a shock to me. It was the first time that someone close to me had died, and I could not imagine life without my sister, even if I had never loved her, or even thought about her recently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I arrived at the forge early on Monday afternoon. Joe was sitting in the front room, wrapped in a black cloak. Dear Joe, how are you? I asked. Pep, dear old boy, you knew her when she was a fine woman. And he could say no more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not, not super often, but every once in a while, you gotta make sure that you got nice soft skin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the best matches that I've seen on television, right, uh, recently. And that's, that is fully taking into account.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brian Danielson and Minoru Suzuki, which I know is on YouTube, but same thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It takes into account Bryan Danielson, Kenny Omega. Not saying it was better than those matches, but I think it was just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe a hair or two below, like this was a very, very strong main event match. I was very much enjoying this match and I thought there was a good chance that Bianca Belair was going to win the title.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause I thought that would have been a much better way to get the titles off of the wrong brands and whatnot than what I'm assuming we're gonna see next week, which is just like, that belt is my color and this belt is your color. Wanna trade? Which I just don't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It sure does. It sure does. I can't wait for survival of the people that know the most about what Raw or Smackdown Tag Team Championship reign was when and then halfway through they switched belts just for the sake of keeping color coordination going. Oh dear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why would you ever wear heels in WWE? Like I get it, they want to add those extra three inches to your build height, but come on, you gotta kick them off before you get into the inevitable brawl that ends every promo segment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like if, if the announcers had, had more of a clue, you would, you'd put that over for like the rest of the show. To be able to do that in heels is like the most impressive thing on this show by a country mile.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it was, it was weird because throughout this show, I thought that a number of the matches had a really hard time hooking the crowd. Maybe this is just because I've


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've basically solely been watching AEW content for the last little while where all the crowds are just super hot and they never need to worry about getting them into it, but there were a few matches here where I just didn't think they had the crowd to start with, but by the end they had this crowd.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They absolutely had all the people hooked for this match. And like you said, this wasn't like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The huge match that Bianca and Becky would have been or Bianca and Sasha would have been and everything just because we haven't had as much interaction between Bianca and Charlotte. But when you look at it on paper, this is still a huge match and it could have been a huge match with a big title change and at least a feasible title change that had the people invested so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Literally everything but the finish of this match I thought was done, like, excellently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like I've been, I've been writing a lot of these features for WrestleTalk.com going through the best matches of each calendar year. And I love talking about Kurt Angle and Steve Austin at SummerSlam 2001, which in my opinion had like the best DQ finish WWE's ever done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just, it's just lame. My only reaction afterwards was just, come on man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, there was a period last year where every time they had a pay-per-view, I was like, I think Extreme Rules, the horror show at Extreme Rules was a perfect example. There were like three or four, four star matches in a row on that show. But every match had a dumb finish.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it was again the case on this Raw where there were a few matches that were given time and I was like, if they just wrestled on this show and got out of their own way, I'd probably really enjoy it. And this was a- they could have just done-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Clean finish and it would have been fine. It's like they got close to doing it perfect and then fell back on their old ways again. And that to me is more frustrating. Just ugh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Probably. We just have Bianca win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't wait to get the next feud of Charlotte and Sasha together for like another 6 months. Hell yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I'm not sure, I'm not sure how a first date with the love of your life


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Quite works out. I don't know how you'd have that much information on a first date.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he clearly just walked up to her playing bass on stage and Dreamweaver was playing. And you just knew that that's the one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't wait for these ratings and everything to just be the talk of the town for the next week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love how none of the draft goes into effect until next week, but Street Profits are on Raw and all these people are on SmackDown. But it hasn't gone into effect yet. Hasn't gone into effect yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't hate it for a while. I was watching it and was into it and then it just kept going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There were parts that I would go so far as to say I enjoyed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The matches that have me the most invested in WWE. And this dates back like 10 years to like John Cena and CM Punk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where you need your guy on one side and the company guy on the other side. And it's the most fear that you can feel that WWE is just gonna do the WWE thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I was so hoping that they wouldn't do the WWE thing and push Jinder Mahal to the King of the Ring final. And they didn't!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I was, I enjoyed the show for a while because of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, this, this crown jewel show on paper looks like one of the better pay-per-views that WWE's done all year. If it just.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wasn't in Saudi Arabia with this long, long flight they have to take. Everyone's gonna be jet lagged. And if this was just a pay-per-view, I'd be really, really excited for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They'll go, they'll lose their minds between now and Thursday for sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause I think that'll be the nice heartwarming, they gave the guy the thing that he wanted really badly moment. I think Finns go in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they're gonna go the Demon King route, as opposed to King Xavier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's unbelievable. You know, it, it wouldn't be such a problem to me beating Jeff Hardy to get Austin Theory over if they'd done anything to protect Jeff Hardy up to this point. You know, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe I'll get flack for it, who cares. To compare things to AEW, of course.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We don't see Matt Seidel winning a lot of matches on TV, but he wins a lot of matches. You know, he's, he's decently protected in the grand scheme of things. He's like 23 and 9 before facing CM Punk. So when he beat, when Punk beats him, it feels like he's beating someone of a bit of note.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jeff Hardy, aside from beating Karrion Kross that one time, ain't done nothing. And that pains me, cause I love Jeff Hardy. Jeff Hardy's my guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wish, I wish they'd do a little more with them so that moments like this meant something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. And again, if you're gonna beat him, don't even have him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get the upper hand and leave Fury laying at the end of the segment, like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't need another match between these guys. Just finish it up, have a move on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, a little bit, a little bit. And I honestly, I thought this was maybe the more boring chapter of The Ones, where-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They just had a decent little match, but there wasn't anything super engaging to it. As far as the play between Big E and Drew and everything. Like, why would they kinda crush their beef before their match?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, they, they had this, this fiery determination between the two and can they coexist? Well, yeah, they just coexisted. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That seems more like a week one thing than a week three thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it was, it was one of those moments where I saw this match coming together and I don't particularly have strong feelings about Cedric or Mansoor at the moment just because they're two very low level guys on the roster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But in order to get me to care about them, you need to do things like this. Give one of them a strong win and then a strong promo segment and put them in a match that will probably be good. You keep doing all those things and I will start to care about these guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is more work than they've done to build up a match for Mansour in Saudi Arabia, as opposed to just, hey, he's wrestling a good worker on the show, come see it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yay, big pop, Guy Winson is hometown. That, that's been...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Mansour Shtick in Saudi Arabia for a long time. And now they've given him a bit of a storyline going into this one. So I really don't have any gripes with this. This was, this was a nice little segment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. I hate these. Just in general.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These splits, you don't even get like the crowd interaction of just having a promo in the ring or one guy on the stage, one guy in the, in the ring. You don't even get that. You just get the same WWE scripting, but they're doing this instead of having a more organic feel to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're really leaning into this, like the first time I thought maybe something just kinda slipped out a little bit, like you get really worked up and I'm gonna kill you Bobby Lashley.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, the storyline now, like he's just planning a murder. So...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's the end game here? Are we gonna write Bobby Lashley off TV with a death for a while?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I, if I had to guess, they're gonna do all this, they're gonna have a normal two, two star no holds barred match, Bobby Lashley's gonna win and that'll be it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, maybe not Lashley winning, but we'll get a two-star match with a boring finish and no, no, no murder, no even, not even any teased murder!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only thing, maybe, maybe Goldberg will botch another jackhammer. And that'll be as close as we'll get to some murder on this show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Asking Matt Riddle if he wants to smoke. Hell yea, he does.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I agree. I thought Randy Orton had an excellent hot tag in this match.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Absolutely excellent. Cause a lot of the time, you know, Randy Orton might be a little bit low energy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In these matches, if he's not super engaged, but from what we've been able to tell, like he really wants to work with some of these young guys and go out there and just have


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then we got another lame DQ, but whatever, but the match itself was really fun. And if we got matches like this every week that were given time and had a clean finish, I'd be very into this show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It doesn't look as cool as like the black mass or something. It's just a big guy doing a kick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Be big. You don't need to be big doing something that smaller guys do better than you. Do the thing the smaller guys can't do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Finish, as far as like an actual finish to a match, not a DQ or a count out or whatever. My least favorite finish to a match is, I've got you in a choke hold, oh you're pinning me, I can't just let go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause for a while it was like the finish of every big Sumo match where he'd get you in the clutch and someone would go up on the ropes, kick themselves back, go over, do the thing. This happens so often.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It happens a lot with Shayna too, and I'm just tired. I'm tired of it. I'm ready for a new finish. That being said, you shouldn't be beating Shayna anyway. If she couldn't go to Saudi Arabia, which I don't know is the case, but I've seen a lot of speculation about that, then don't book the match.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't book the match, don't book Shane to lose in the middle of this big push.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because there's certain people where it's like, Oh yeah, you're getting a push and you shouldn't be losing for the sake of like wins and losses and all that. For Shaina should be a monster in this division. And it looked like we were going to get a little bit of that back. And now she's losing in like two or three minutes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like the ones where they need a DQ finish, they don't do it. The ones that need a clean finish, they're like, nah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There were a few moments on this show where the WWE scripting really came through and there was nothing to save it. This was one of the-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's just kind of the way the WWE does things. It's like they think that you want to see the baby face sell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gotta sell, pal. You're really gonna hook those fans. But, nah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's just not the way they do things. I do agree though, I'm happy with Finn being in this position. You know? If, if, if Woods isn't going to win,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then Finn was going to be the, my second choice of the entire bracket. You know, I think he would be a very good choice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He would get more of a push, it would hopefully rehabilitate him a little bit from that Roman Reigns thing, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If that's, if that's the outcome, I'm not gonna be super disappointed, just, just, just a little bit, just a little bit, cause it woulds, but again, Finn is, Finn is a fine second choice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's really tough, cause if they just got out of their own way, I think this would have been, at the very least, a 3 out of 5 show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The tag match that we enjoyed, but also had a DQ, and then just certain things spread across the whole show that just brought things down a peg. You know, it's, it's a shame. I still might give it a 3 out of 5. Honestly, I really did like that main event up until the, up until the finish. I know, Positive Tempest is crazy, but, wild. Yea, 3 out of 5.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Isn't it genuinely, is that the dumbest match of all time?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The intellectual savior of the masses, Damian Campbell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, honestly, you'll have a better time. And those were the two moments that made me have to just take a walk around the house for a minute. But usually there's more than two moments, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Probably something really dumb, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, we, we could think about like, oh, it's, it's Hogan and Andre, brother.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's probably something that we'd never think about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, I thought that, but he also very clearly hates Shane.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, what's Adam Cole doing in the Impact Zone?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's Bryan Danielson gonna be doing in the Impact Zone? Those are the guys that are gonna be on the show next week or whatever. Might have to watch Dark for that one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think I said on a recent Smackdown podcast that that famous Triple H promo from like 6-7 years ago where he's like, my friend Mark and I are gonna stop watching. And then everyone stopped watching.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For a long time, I was very happy to see it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't remember a lot else that happened on Dynamite, honestly. The Six Man? Yea, that was fun. That was really good. It's like a PWG match.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dynamite is really just, uh, just, uh, PWG on television.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I understand. He directed it specifically at you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You seem like the kind of man who would take a loved one to an orchard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That one slips out unironically sometimes, I'll be honest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, if they were going to do something like that, I think it was done well enough. You know, it wasn't quite the Dragon Lee and Dralistico.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That some people were expecting, but yeaah, it was like the conquistadors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All the colors of the spectrum. There's blue, indigo, blue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you talking about me or your latest poll numbers?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My paw's got a trim there, Boat. That's fine. Would you mind taking me to your paw? No. Come to think about it, I don't think Ma'd like him to rent the boat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ha ha ha ha ha. Come to me, my friend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As long as you manage to have your data look like this, you should be able to follow the same steps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is a small trap there though, as we need to tokenize our targets inside the AskTargetTokenizerContextManager.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is because the special tokens we add might be slightly different for the inputs on the target. So the tokenizer has to know which one it is processing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here we'll show you how to pie dynamically, as it requires one more step. Your inputs and targets are all sentences of various lengths.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's been wonderful, it's been lovely, I very much like her, like my little daughter, she is excellent, we're very very happy, slightly tired, she sleeps well, she poops a lot, and we're just having a really really nice time with her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, Patreon podcast, our review of Bound for Glory 2007 will be out tomorrow, Thursday-ish. I noticed you on the streams while I've been off, wearing this ring, and I was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He secretly got married and didn't tell any of us. Which I'd be honest, I wouldn't be surprised by.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow, there you go. That's actually pretty cool. It is cool. Like you, I can't go to bed wearing a watch. So I think I would probably need something like this as well. If I did want to track my sleep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did, yeaah, I've watched, um, so I, I did watch Abyss of WWE while I was off, um, well,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, you know, kid wakes up, I go down, I take the kid downstairs because it allows my wife to sleep for a little bit. So me and the kid go downstairs and we just sort of hang out together. And, you know, sometimes it's a bit early for the West Wing, so you're like, you know, okay, it's Tuesday morning, maybe I'll watch Raw.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've watched one episode of Roar in my entire paternity leave off of the four weeks I was off, and that was the draft episode, and I got through it in 50 minutes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think they do because, and the reason why I say that is because when he did the all out media stuff and they said it is from WrestleTalk, a lot of people says like, oh my god, I now know what Tempest's real name is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it felt like this episode of Raw, well, and WWE have always thought this as well. They think they have two audiences. An audience that watches Raw and only watches Raw, and an audience that watches SmackDown and only watches SmackDown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this episode really felt like, oh well, I mean we need to introduce all of these SmackDown people to our raw audience, because they'll have no idea who they are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you had to have, like, Alpha Academy versus Street Profits versus the dirty D-Wags.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But to us as WWE audiences, the actual WWE audience in the real world that just watches every hour of product that they put out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've seen all these matches a bunch. When, uh, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Liv Morgan and Carmella had a match, I thought it was a rib. I was like, this has to be a joke. And like, you know, the triple threat tag team match, at least it had stakes. And you know, and RK Bro vs. the Dirty D. I'd actually much rather RK Bro vs. the Dirty D.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so uhm, Seth Rollins came out and he said,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just lost my last match, a Hell in a Cell match against Edge, and then Rey Mysterio came and said, hey, I haven't won a singles match in three months. And then Finn Balor came and said, hey,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My last title match was against Roman Reigns and I lost that, and I lost the King of the Ring finals. And then Kevin Owens came and said, Hey, I haven't won a singles match in two months and I've been beaten by Happy Corbin twice in the last couple of months. I think we all deserve title shots now. They didn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought the main event that we got was great. Terrific. Of course it was terrific. It's Kevin Owens and the ladder match. Kevin Owens seemingly has been put on this earth to make ladder matches great again. And I feel like anytime like Kevin Owens is booked in a ladder match, there's a little part of him that's just like, I mean, I can't let anyone down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I would have liked some distinct characters and actual reasons as to why they wanted title shots as opposed to, hey, I was once a United States champion a couple of years ago in a very bad title run, if you remember that run for Kevin Owens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I was off, I found my new favorite analogy for WWE or my new comparisons to WWE. Remember Pox?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Pogs. Loved Pogs as a kid. Slam it. Yeah. So if you're a, you're not, you know, a man of a certain age like, or a person of a certain age like us, Pogs were a fad in the 90s where they were little cardboard discs and they had like funny little pictures on them and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the idea was, you would collect Pogs, and it was fun, you would like trade Pogs with your friends, you could go down to the shops and get them, they're also called like milk caps as well I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well this is where I- this is where my comparison comes in. Because, I don't think a lot of people know that Pogs was a game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Pogs was a game where you meant to stack them up and in your pack of Pogs you would get a metal one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was much thicker and much heavier than the other ones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Collectively put our pogs in a stack and then you slam the metal one down onto the, uh, cardboard things to make them fall down. They fall down. You then get those pogs and your friends would then slay into, you know, you've got how many pogs you've got left over. It was a way to win pogs off of people. Marbles. Kind of like, exactly, like marbles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The problem was no one ever did that. No one ever played the game of Pog. People just traded them with their friends. Or if you did play the game, you would slam it down and then you would just be like, okay, well I'm just gonna take my Pogs back and you just keep your Pogs. My point is, none of it ever mattered. And that's what WWE is. WWE is a game of Pogs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's a sport that doesn't matter. Because wins and losses don't matter. Nothing of the, nothing of the outcomes ever matter of shows. But hey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was so much more believable than when they did it with the women as well. The six women they had standing in a V.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, NXT used to be a place where people got their second wind for a career and like Rey Mysterio is a guy who has had a great second wind of a career.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think you were just gonna say, like, Finn Balor's sell job, brackets, general. Because it was really good, like, I loved this main event. I mean, of course you're gonna, like, how could you not love a main event of Kevin Owens, Seth Rollins, Finn Balor, and Rey Mysterio in a four-way ladder match? I'll have that any day of the week, and it was delicious, and I'll have seconds next.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was my, this was actually my prediction. When, uh, I did the Crown Jewel review with SP3, uh, he said Big E, you know, defeated Drew and he said, who do you think's next for Big E? And I said, it'll be Seth Rollins. Because he's just lost against Edge. So he'll just become the new number one contender on Raw.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, okay, I mean, yes, you're right, however...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have already started the storyline of Roman and Big E because Roman sent the use, I believe, I was listening to your podcast reviewing this. So he sent them to kind of take out


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because you'd think that they would do, because they really are a great unit. It's right there in front of you. It's right there in front of you. So yeaah, I think they are still going to do Beige and Roman at Survivor Series. Well I hope so too. Me too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remember that back in, like, when they first started going live? The first time Smackdown went live, and it moved to Tuesdays, and it was a two hour show, but they only ever booked an hour fifty-three worth of content, so the last seven minutes were like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, send Kevin Owens out again and he'll just stare at Shane McMahon and that's how we'll end off the show. Give Sammy Zane a microphone. Because what was Beej doing? He came down to look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, but I mean, cause Seth walked past him and then cut a promo with whoever it was backstage. So what did Beej do for the live crowd? Was the Seth promo played on the screen?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I felt podcast listeners, Ollie is moving his breasts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe you got the tightest tits in WrestleTalk. Do you want to do some Ultra Chats? I will do indeed. Get your Ultra Chats in to WrestleTalk.com forward slash support. Join in the conversation. We'll read out every single one of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did like actually how everyone just came out and was like, yeah, you did lose, uh, to Edge, didn't you? So why do you think you deserve time shot? That was nice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bezo Banks, uh, still great to see WrestleTalk's D.A.D. back on our screen. Runs always gets the title shot after a big loss with Charlotte Sasha and Becky Bianca being programmed. Maybe we could still get Bel Air Banks 3 at Survivor Series? Pleeease? Cause I'll be at Survivor Series. Can't wait to be disappointed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I think I'm not going to add anything to that conversation that hasn't already been said to be honest. Uh, Lakshminashram B. Is the new WWE era Raw just the old era WWE Smackdown? Shh, you're not supposed to say it out loud. Today's Raw was pretty decent though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] RKBro is great. Best part about RKBro is, Randy Orton gives a hoot again. Until he doesn't. I, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Solid. You are coming at it from four weeks off. Oh mate, I heard the podcast when they did like the Can They Coexist for the third week running and you'd had a week off and you came in like, what a great episode of Raw. I said to my wife, I was like, you can tell that Oli's had a week off from watching wrestling because he's coming to me like, this is great, guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well yeaah, like I mean it's, I've seen this match in various combinations on Smackdown, so it was kind of hard to get invested in this because I've seen it a bunch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you know, it's always going to be decent action because the Street Profits are great, uh, Ziegler and Rude are very, very good, uh, Alpha Academy, like Chad Gable, Crikey is amazing, and Otis is brilliant as well. So like, it is going to be great in-ring action. The thing that excited me the most from this though, was...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I was actually disappointed he didn't roundhouse kick, uh, Montez Ford. Have you seen it? Oh, it gets so high. It's the greatest roundhouse kick in the history of professional wrestling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, but he's starting a feud with the Street Profits, so that means we have got a feud for a tag title with the champions and a separate tag team feud between two tag teams. No, we haven't. Why not? It's a three-way feud.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, cause they're going after the prophets. Okay, well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it was good, wasn't it? Really good. Really, really good. I love the two teams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They are a team that exists within WWE. I really like Bobby Roode. They used to be on SmackDown, and now they're on Raw. The Dirty Dogs. This was a fun match. It probably should have been on next week's show, as opposed to doing it on this week's show. But, you know, that's what happens when you book it on the fly, I guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that doesn't mean that they're not feuding with the dirty dogs over the tag titles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Futures carry on regardless of who wins and loses.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hate king of the ring. I absolutely hate king of the ring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here is why I hate King of the Ring. Everyone gets excited about a King of the Ring tournament.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everyone, every single time they announce a king of the ring tournament, we get people messaging us being like, guys, can't wait. It's going to be WWE's G1. And it never is because this company hates tournaments. So we get.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A pretty average king of the ring with the winner that we wanted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And even then, someone pointed this out to me on the Friday Review, because me and SP3 were like, they gave us what we wanted, they gave us King Woods, and someone pointed out to me and was like, no, they nearly did, they've given us King Xavier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They had the thing that we wanted, but couldn't get it right. It should be King Xavier though, right? No, cause he calls himself King Woods. Guess so. But WWE go like, no no, you're King Xavier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well that's WWE's logic, isn't it? But like, what I hate about King of the Rings is you have to have a crap gimmick at the end of it when you pretend to be a king. Zelina Vega, now just because she has a crown, has to every now and again have an English accent and talk about queens from the past. Like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] SP3 made an excellent point. Yes, Queen. Do you know where she's from? Queens!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's from Queens! Why didn't you just make that her character? She's the Queen of Queens. That's pretty good. That's really good. She doesn't have to be. A Queen?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's the Queen's Crown Tournament winner, which is a very clunky thing to drop in progress every now and again. Yeah, that's my hot take. I don't like King of the Ring. And then like, so they cut backstage, and there's six women standing in a row. I can name five of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know who one of them is. Because I saw Liv Morgan, Nikki Almost Superhero, Almost Superhero, Rhea Ripley, Tamina.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't know who it was. The chat telling us? Oh, the chat will probably correct me on who it is but I couldn't make out who it was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because she is, she'd never stand there and be like, I respectfully. Yes, but also Becky wouldn't be like, hey, you know what I love? This hometown. And your hometown football team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It doesn't feel like big time Bex. I think she is just still a heel. It's just the WWE don't really know how to book characters these days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, hey mate, I lost to you three times when you had the blue belt, but now you've got a red one. So I think that wipes the slate clean and I can have a fresh start at you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would have built it around that. But at the same time, she came out and was like, hey, you had to cheat to win. Well yea, there's triple threat, there's no DQ, she can do whatever she wants. Uh, Lynch said get to the back of the line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think my problem is with it is that we have seen this, you know, every week since SummerSlam. It's just, you know, now it's on a different colour show. Um, and I think it's WW's own fault because they haven't built anyone else to be a contender to the title. So we have to do Bella.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is a shame, really. I'd have liked to have seen Bel Air moved into another program, still be featured on TV because you can do that and not be in a title feud.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, the title segment on SmackDown really does establish that these belts mean diddly-dick and they are just props for you to hold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think so, I think we're getting a DQ finish. I don't think they're gonna pin Bel Air either. It'll be a DQ.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] T-Bar's fantastic. Why mess with that? Like you split the tag team up, he's no longer with Retribution anymore. Retribution are a memory of the past. He's no longer with Mace.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Half of it is black with a white silhouette and the other half is white with a black silhouette. So I wonder if they are being like, one half of him is Damian and the other half of him is priest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? You know, having the talk in the stands, tell me what makes you special, kid. That's what the worry is. And so I completely empathise with people's concerns about that because they did make an effort in the new time to separate Damian and Priest. Okay. Okay, well, that goes my take on...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the coolest Priesters look, I think. You might be right. You might be right. Apparently, according to Sean Ross Sapp, uhm, the reason why Damien Priest hasn't been on TV since The Shamers Feud is they didn't have any plans for him until after Crown Jewel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was Smackdown? It's the same match we've seen, um, since they started doing this in March.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, uh, the other thing, uh, to add to that, um, Carmella's gimmick is, I'm Well Fit. Which is so different from Mandy Rose's gimmick in NXT, which is, I am Well Fit. And it's very different from Aaliyah's gimmick on Smackdown, which I believe is, I am Well Fit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Should we move on? I mean, you could have said the same thing about carrying cross.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, six, seven weeks ago when he was just being put over strong and squash matches, where's he been on TV for a while? Like this isn't, it's all last three weeks and then we won't see Bearcat Keith Lee anymore.

[Assistant] I, what have they done to my beautiful boy? I have seen Keith Lee wrestle in so many promotions over the years. And do you know what he's always done?

[Assistant] I appreciate there is some wonderful historic significance to the name. I very much appreciate that and I love that. But this presentation is generic big man. And it's so uninteresting.

[Assistant] I quite like Austin Theory's gimmick of, um, I'm feuding with all the people that I was fans of when I was a kid.

[Assistant] That's solidly in the middle there. That's solidly middle, isn't it? Looks like a middle finger. It does. Rawful did get 13% and Rawsome got 5, but that is very much a, people are like, yep, solidly average episode.
