Hill made a reformation to the menu of Mojie restaurant. He divided the traditional Chinese food into an area, and then introduced the food from the mysterious East.
At present, the general public already has a certain understanding of the Eastern Kingdom—manga and novels have mentioned it a lot.
After the division of Chinese food, many people became more interested in the East.
Previously, Hill saw that the British "Daily Telegraph" introduced the burial objects that the British wanted. A company surveyed 500,000 funerals and 4,000 adults in five years and found the special burial objects that the British wanted most. Including Wizard of Oz clothing, department store catalogs, flashlights and... Chinese food delivery.
What kind of mysterious power is this from the east, it's too powerful.
Some time ago, Olivia told Hill that Ice Emperor Claude wanted to cooperate with him. Ice Emperor Claude said something abstract, but Hill understood what he meant, that is, to make a movie with the main theme.
When you mention the main theme movie, your first reaction may be that it is boring, but in fact, the main theme movie is also very good-looking. For example, in recent years, before Hill crossed, there have been many very good theme movies in China, which moved the feelings. At the same time, it is also very popular. In foreign countries, movies like "Forrest Gump" and "Saving Private Ryan" are also the main theme movies.
Hill currently has no plans to make this kind of movie for the human country. Although it is much easier to make a movie in a different world than on Earth, the period of early, mid-stage and post-production is also quite long. Hill is an impatient person, or Said that the world does not allow him to be patient.
So he's going to do it on the basis of being as careful as possible... It seems like a contradiction, it's like walking a tightrope, but Hill feels that he also enjoys the feeling of being in control, which is quite interesting .
The pirate ship in the immersive theater was named the Jackdaw by Hill, and Captain Rhodes said emotionally, "It has the same name as the Dead Bird. Is this a brother ship?"
Hill looked at Captain Rhodes' appearance, and decided not to say that the name actually came from the game "Assassin's Creed". Cough, there can be a little more misunderstandings like this, he doesn't mind.
After temporarily finishing the work in the Demon Realm, Hill left for Winter City, where he had a formal meeting with the Ice Empress under the arrangement of Olivia.
Hill and Ice Emperor Claude also met before, but it was an informal meeting like a friend. Hill's understanding of Claude basically came from Olivia's magic biography. Livia said that Ice Emperor Claude didn't look majestic, and of course she hadn't seen him above the court. He is a very thoughtful person, but he will not reveal something easily.
After finishing speaking, Olivia said embarrassedly: "I feel like I said a lot of nonsense..."
"It's not 'as if,' it's really bullshit," Hill said.
Olivia felt shot in the chest. Speaking of which, Mr. Greenwald and she are now able to make such jokes at will... I always feel a little relieved and a little disappointed.
Hill is also like this. He is very good at etiquette for unfamiliar people, but for acquaintances: when you think he has lost his morals, but is shocked to find that he has a new way of losing his morals.
"Then let me go directly to the contact by myself then," Hill said.
Hill once shared a theory with the dragon Gormon, "To know a person, you have to start with the naked eye."
Gormon, the dragon, followed his instructions carefully, "My lord, do you mean to observe his behavior through eyes?"
"Yes." Hill said, "After using the naked eye, there is another good way, which is to use the flesh."
The magic dragon Gormon slowly made a question mark.
"Your expression... I thought your first reaction was to get to know each other by fighting, but in the end, are all of you alchemized?" Hill twitched the corners of his mouth, "Dark Elf Albrecht, come out for me, I want Let's talk to you, why did people like Gormond be brought down
"Because my king just told Erwin a few days ago that we can become whatever we want..." Gormond said.
Hill covered his face in despair: "...I can't live through this day." He was depressed for a while, and then explained blankly: "Probably, you have to get to know a person through observation and contact. It looks simple, but if you look closely, it is actually a science."
Gormond nodded thoughtfully, "I found that in the eyes of my king, many small things are knowledge."
"Because one flower, one world, one leaf and one Bodhi." Hill said casually, "For example, pornography is also a kind of knowledge and I am very good at it."
"... cough. Yes. My king."
Right now, Hill's observation of Ice Emperor Claude is almost enough, and the next step is to get in touch with him in depth.
The temperature in Mülheim was already very low this season, and Hill and Ice Emperor Claude rode horses for a walk outside Winter City.
In Mülheim, the cold season is always humid and foggy, and the mist spreads over the fields like ghosts emerging from the ground, making it uncomfortable. Everything is hazy and can't be seen clearly, and the black shadow of the distant mountain can be seen in the blur. The leaves are starting to turn yellow this season. Everything is bleak.
"Theoretically, you shouldn't travel alone with me, a demon, with a body of ten thousand gold." Hill took the lead in probing.
"Theoretically, even if I lead a lot of guards, I can't stop your strength." Ice Empress Claude responded.
"Then you can bring people from the church." Hill continued to test.
"I believe you are a wise demon." Ice Emperor Claude rode forward slowly and said.
"How do you say that?" Hill asked.
"At this stage in the Yulan Empire and Mülheim, the relationship between the demons and humans is advancing by leaps and bounds, but this is only after you hide your fangs and claws." said Ice Emperor Claude.
Huh. With these words alone, Emperor Yulan could be thrown a few blocks away.
However, Emperor Yulan is too fat to be able to shake it off... By the way, he has been getting fatter and fatter recently. The last time Hill saw him, when he smiled at him flatteringly, the flesh on his face was pushed and shoved. It's a little scary.
"Then you mean that I won't do anything to hurt a monarch. This will immediately drop the relationship between the demons and humans to a freezing point, and the church will not allow it. Is that what you mean?" Hill asked.
Ice Empress Claude nodded, "Yes."
"Then have you considered that I will kill you and find a substitute for you?" Hill asked.
Ice Empress Claude froze for a moment, "The church won't sit idly by, the church can see it."
"What if there are people from us in the church?" Hill continued to ask.
Ice Emperor Claude frowned slightly, "I think, Your Highness Greenwald, at this stage, you don't need to startle the snake."
"Have you compared yourself to a snake? Have you heard the story of the farmer and the snake?" Hill asked.
"I would like to hear more about it," said Ice Emperor Claude.
"A farmer picked up a snake that was freezing to death, put it in his crotch to warm it, and then the snake came back to life..."
"Wait in the crotch?"
"That's not the point, Your Majesty, please listen to me," Hill said.
Ice Empress Claude said in a low voice: "I think this is the point."
Hill pretended not to hear: "The first thing the snake did after it came to life was to bite the farmer. The farmer was poisoned to death. I forgot whether he was dead or not. Anyway, the biggest malice is that he died, and we try our best to judge things. Based on the utmost malice."
Ice Emperor Claude did not respond.
"What do you think of this issue?" Hill asked, "The Demon Race, the Ice Empire, and the Church."
"You are worried, I use the power of the demons to attack the church, and then bite the demons back." Ice Emperor Claude said firmly.
Hill just smiled and said nothing.
"However, if you use the power of the empire to stabilize yourself, I don't know if you will bite the empire." Ice Emperor Claude continued: "In the final analysis of our tripartite relationship, the initiative is not held in anyone's hands... the devil king grown ups."
Hill smiled brightly: "Oh, you know."
Ice Emperor Claude's expression remained calm: "Yes, I understand."
Hill looked at Claude for a while, then shook his head suddenly, "You don't seem to fit the title of 'Ice Emperor' at all."
"oh?"
"I feel that the Ice Emperor should be majestic, cold as a snow mountain, and unfriendly." Hill said, "You look very suitable for the Ice Emperor, but the feeling you are showing now is very similar to an ordinary person. man."
"I know you're trying to make me angry, but I won't." Ice Empress Claude said lightly, "I have big plans, so I don't care about ordinary people."
"Okay, it looks like we've had a good time spamming each other, and now it seems like we can talk about business," Hill said.
"If it's 'like', your Excellency is even less like the Demon King." Ice Emperor Claude said.
"Actually, I'm not the devil," Hill said. "I was originally a human being. When I woke up, I found that I had taken the body of the devil. I was kicked out of the shelves. I always thought about humans."
"You really know how to joke." Ice Emperor Claude said.
"I'm serious," Hill said.
Ice Empress Claude smiled and said nothing.
Hill also smiled and said nothing about it.
The two began to discuss making a theme movie. Since the other party is a smart person, Hill didn't hide his thoughts much. The result of the discussion was that Hill filmed a national promotional video for the Ice Empire Mülheim, which took 20 minutes.
"Then what should I pay in return?" Ice Empress Claude asked.
"It's free," Hill said.
Ice Empress Claude raised his eyebrows.
"It stands to reason that free stuff should be fun," Hill said.
"Free things are the most precious." Ice Emperor Cloud said, "I thought it was common sense."
"Such as sunshine, air, such as love?" Hill joked.
"Also like life and body." Ice Empress Claude answered.
"And my babbling mouth," Hill said.
Ice Empress Claude coughed lightly: "Master Demon King, don't belittle yourself like this."
"Introduction to injustice is also the road to loyalty and remonstrance."
Ice Emperor Claude:
"It's okay." Hill said, "Sometimes it's a kind of force majeure..."
Ice Empress Claude worked hard to adjust his thinking, trying to drag the conversation just now on a serious track: "Then, Your Excellency the Demon King, you can directly state your request. I don't believe it's free, and I also think you I won't believe that you're doing me a favor for free—of course I would, but I won't pay it back with my empire."
"I know what you mean, the state apparatus itself is a very emotional existence," Hill said. "I just wish I could say that I did this film for Empire of Ice for free—I needed that fact."
Ice Empress Claude raised his silver sword eyebrows again.
If this news spread, it undoubtedly shows that the relationship between the Ice Empire and the Demon Race seems to be too good... He knows a thing or two about the situation in the Yulan Empire, so what the Demon Race wants...
"Although I wanted to say 'Let me think about it', I knew it was better to say 'I don't agree' at this time." Ice King Claude said.
"Humans and devils have different paths after all." Hill shook his head, "You can roughly see what I want to do, but of course I also know what you think. You have to understand that the enemy of human beings is never aliens, but Humanity itself."
"But I understand better that there are no eggs under an overturned nest." Ice Empress Claude said.
"Why do you always think of me as evil?" Hill shook his head and said suddenly, "Do you know why the snake bites the farmer?"
"Huh?" Claude didn't respond for a moment.
"Because the farmer put it in his crotch," Hill continued.
Ice Emperor Claude: "..." His body was shaken for a long time, and finally he said with difficulty: "I roughly understand what you mean, what you mean is that if the farmer doesn't do such... er... contempt for the snake, the snake will not take the initiative Biting the farmer, but your way of expression and way of foreshadowing... is too powerful."
"Few people will accept sympathy with disdain." Hill smiled, "Besides, snakes are just animals, and demons also have feelings. I hope you can think about it carefully, Your Excellency the Ice Empress."
"Okay, you convinced me, and I'm willing to think about it further." Ice Empress Claude said.
The two returned to Cold Winter City with their horses. Ice Emperor Claude suddenly said, "Did you win the conversation just now?"
"I don't know if I won or not," Hill's lips curled up, "but I haven't lost so far. ... And Lord Ice Empress, I'm so hard that even if a snake bites me, my teeth will break, but You are different, after all, as far as individuals are concerned, human beings are a weak race." He stepped forward and whispered, his words were like a devil's whisper: "Of course, faith makes you stronger."
Claude suddenly narrowed his silver eyes, "I understand. Your Excellency the Demon King."
