01.
Fallen Angel Territory, Floating Island.
The island moving in the sky looks like a miracle, and the waterfalls pouring down from the four sides of the island are even more heart-pounding.
This was the first time old Jackson had seen the floating island with his own eyes, and he had only heard Hill mention it once in the past. At that time, he thought that Hill could really play, but he didn't expect Hill to be so good at playing... At this moment, he and Alice looked up at the magnificent island floating in the sky, one old and one young They all opened their mouths.
This picture is a little joyful.
Alice finally couldn't bear it any longer, and she asked, "Is this really the Demon World?"
This question has been stuck in her mind for a while.
Why does it look like heaven here? She is usually taciturn, but she also has her own ideas. Everything she experienced after arriving in the Demon Realm, all the basic necessities of life have always surprised her. She couldn't help but ask, is this really the Demon World? Is this really hell? It's not what Mom says, and it's not at all what the church scriptures say. ... Oh, but of course, the church scriptures describe the church completely differently.
"Of course the real Demon World doesn't only have these beauties, it also has a lot of devastation." Hill said, "I'll take you to see it when I have time."
"Okay." Alice nodded obediently.
Old Jackson glanced at Hill unexpectedly, not expecting that he would dig himself out.
Hill accepted the question in this gaze, and then explained: "Those scars won't last long, and I have the courage to admit this because I will change everything sooner or later." In fact, it is also a sentence full of confidence.
Old Jackson was startled, then he thought of some possibility, and blurted out: "The church's floating island..."
"Oh, it was Theresa who bewitched me." Hill said honestly, "But the cost of the church is many, many, many times that of ours."
Old Jackson's mouth twitched, he naturally wanted to understand the joints, and then he thought of a question: "Is that Mithril too?"
"This is Monroe," Hill said. "Isn't it great?" he said in a ostentatious tone.
Old Jackson was a little speechless: "...you are really the same breed."
"It's okay to say that Monroe and I are the same breed, and adding Theresa will become three skins, which is not good." Hill said.
Old Jackson: "..."
Old Jackson coughed: "There are children here..."
"The appropriate context for your statement is that I suddenly pounced on him and forced a kiss, and then you shyly said, 'There are children here... '," Hill said.
Old Jackson: "..."
Old Jackson: "Sometimes I really don't know what expression I should use to talk to you."
"Ahahaha..." Hill laughed for a while and then said, "It's okay, my Alice will be the one who will do great things in the future." He added with a smile, "So it's okay to sit in on anything."
"No way, you... let her listen to all kinds of things?" Old Jackson raised his eyebrows in surprise, and Old Jackson also caught the meaning of Hill's words, that 'any words' included some sensitive political issues yes.
"I'll provide her with everything I can, and then it's up to her." Hill patted Alice on the head, "Okay, here we go, it's time to go down. This topic will come to an end first."
Suppressing the question in his heart "Aren't you worried about her betraying you?", Old Jackson went down the bird with Hill... This sounds a bit strange.
The floating island is full of exotic flowers and plants, and the air above contains a magical atmosphere. If human magicians come here, they will probably be pleasantly surprised, because this is their holy place for cultivation.
As for why this happened, the main reason is the fallen angels.
In the past, the Fallen Angels didn’t eat, and let themselves gradually disappear in the world. Now they start eating, and the magic elements are being replenished, so there are more elements running around, which directly leads to the excessive magic element content of the floating island where they live. high.
On the one hand, they started to eat because this family has a purpose in life, not the natural life and natural death like before. The flip side is that the food is so good.
Later, a human tourist group came to the Demon Realm, and a human mage asked, "Why is the magic element so strong here? Of course, if it involves some secrets, you don't need to answer..."
The succubus guide replied: "Because the fallen angels eat too much."
Human Mage:? ?
are you kidding me
I have no grievances or enmities with you, why do you treat me like a fool
In theory, this answer makes perfect sense.
Naihe, now people are impetuous~
02.
The fallen angels entertained Hill and his party, and Erwin, the fire elemental spirit, had prepared food in advance.
While eating delicious food and drinking delicious wine, the Fallen Angel Orchestra was still playing soft music. Old Jackson was alright, but Alice next to him was almost intoxicated. The nobles have never experienced such treatment, let alone little Alice.
Old Jackson glanced at Alice, and said to Hill beside him, "Her starting point is too high."
"Isn't that good?" Hill asked.
Old Jackson shook his head, "I don't think so."
"If you have a high starting point, you should pursue higher things, which is good. I think." Hill said, "I don't want you to think, I want me to think."
Old Jackson subconsciously felt that the last sentence was a bit oily for some reason. He thought for a while, understood the metaphor in it, and then shook his head, "I'm really in your boat."
"That's right, as the saying goes, if you can cross the same boat after a hundred years of cultivation, it means that we were destined in the previous life." Hill didn't want to respond to his words, so he made up nonsense.
okay. Old Jackson thought to himself, it's fine if you don't want to talk to me about business, why bother attacking me mentally. "... Do the demons have a previous life?" He asked.
"Yes." Hill said, "I was a sand sculpture in my previous life."
Old Jackson: ? ?
"Actually, it's true hahahaha..." Hill said with a smile.
Old Jackson shook his head firmly.
This generation of demon kings was originally formed from sand.
Alas, no one believes the truth these days.
03.
After dinner, the sky darkened, and they came to the lake on the ground in the middle of the floating island.
The lake water is swaying, and the shadows of the stars are flickering in the ripples, which is too beautiful to behold. There are many exotic flowers and plants from other worlds planted by the lake, golden, lavender, light blue... dreamlike scattered on the grass.
There are also some fireflies.
Alice was pleasantly surprised after seeing the fireflies. She looked like a cute little angel bouncing by the lake.
Seeing her bouncing around, Hill had the idea of cosplaying Mori Ogai, but he dismissed the idea the next second, and instead said maliciously, "How much do you know about fireflies?"
"They are very nice, my lord," said Alice cheerfully.
Old Jackson looked at Hill: "I feel like you're about to reveal some terrible knowledge."
"Yes. But it's really pretty." Hill stretched out his hand to grab it, and the airflow carried the firefly to his side. He raised his hand and forced the firefly to land on his finger, and then... Oh, it's a bug Ah, it's a little disgusting, forget it and fly away... After completing this set of funny behaviors without showing any signs of expression, Hill cleared his throat and began to say the "terrible knowledge" in the old Jackson's mouth: "In fact, fireflies are very Vicious. They are carnivores, they can anesthetize many animals, such as snails and slugs, and then they inject secretions into the anesthetized prey, digest them outside the body, and finally inhale them."
The smile is gradually solidified.gif
After Alice's smile faded for a few seconds, she asked, "What's the meaning behind it? My lord."
"You mean the way you eat?" Hill asked.
"Yes." Alice nodded, she didn't understand.
"For example, their method is to first anesthetize a person, then inject him with toxin, let him turn into water, and finally drink the water."
So Alice's smile gradually froze to a rather miserable expression.
Seeing that the child's face turned pale all of a sudden, Old Jackson couldn't help feeling a little distressed.
But Alice bowed instead, "Thank you for your guidance, sir, I understand."
"Hmm... Also, it's the female fireflies that emit light, and they use their light to attract the opposite sex to convey information. Sometimes fireflies will use courtship signals to lure some male fireflies to come and eat them." Hill continued.
When old Jackson looked at the shining and beautiful creature again, he felt shuddering.
Alice is fine, children have pure minds, they have pure kindness and pure malice.
"So a lot of pretty things are harmful, like me," Hill continued.
Old Jackson, who had been listening to him educating his children, couldn't help interjecting: "...the last sentence is superfluous, Greenwald."
"I thought the last sentence was the key point. Let me tell you, I said so much just to pave the way for my last sentence." Hill said.
"You think I will believe it." Old Jackson twitched his lips.
"Ah, it seems that I still have a bit of integrity in your heart... Okay, Alice, go play around," Hill laughed, "Your Uncle Jackson has been winking at me just now, implying You leave him first and have something to say to me alone."
"... Well, I admit that I hinted with my eyes, but it's not as exaggerated as you said." Old Jackson said.
"Okay, my lord." Alice lifted the skirt and performed a lady's salute, and then went to the other side.
At this moment, the night was completely dark, and Alice's pink dress quickly disappeared into the night.
Old Jackson looked at Alice's back: "I'm not afraid of the dark..."
"It's pretty safe here," Hill said, "and since I raised her, she shouldn't be afraid of the dark."
"The demons don't have the concept of being afraid of the dark, right... But you're right, it was the same when you were a child?" Old Jackson asked.
Hill replied honestly, "No, I was afraid of the dark when I was eighteen."
Old Jackson: "..."
Hill continued: "I'm still scared of the dark after reading a ghost story now."
Old Jackson: "...you are better than a ghost."
Hill nodded, "Theoretically, but I'm afraid. That thing, that indescribable..."
Jackson Sr.: "...well. It's funny how you bring her up."
"Okay, I'm glad you didn't bring up my bad side..."
"... I feel like you chased after me and told me." Old Jackson squinted.
"Ahem, let's talk about the way I educate Alice," Hill said, "I read it in a book before. In a country called Russia, a father said to his daughter: 'If If someone bullies you, you can hit them with a shovel.' His daughter said, 'But I'm a girl.' Then the father said, 'Then you can hit them with a pink shovel.' Do you understand?"
Old Jackson was thoughtful, "I see."
This example is kind of funny. But it is Hill's education policy for Alice.
First, you hit the person who hurt you.
Then, you have to remember that you are a girl.
The former is the first principle.
And of course there's the idea that he'll give her everything she needs, and then it's up to her to develop.
04.
Old Jackson stayed in the Mozu for two days. During these two days, Hill took him to various places, and Alice also accompanied him. The old Jackson was full of praise for the various new facilities in the Demon Realm. When Hill said that he would open the Demon Realm tour group in the future, the old Jackson said: "Then let me be the first group of guests."
"Of course." Hill said, "I also want you to help promote it."
Before leaving the Demon Realm, Old Jackson asked: "Although you may have hinted to me how you will deal with the current situation, since I came to the Demon Realm with the expectations of many people, I must have a final answer before I can go back."
"Okay." Hill said, "Let the bullets fly for a while. I will make a statement in five days, and you will have worked hard for these five days."
"Of course." Old Jackson said, "Thank you."
"It's a no-brainer," Hill said.
Old Jackson: "..."
Hill: "Hee hee."
In the next five days, the Yulan Empire and the Ice Empire will continue to fry, especially the Ice Empire. Although the diet of the Yulan Empire is not as good as that of the Demon Realm, it can still be eaten. But the Ice Empire Muelheim is different. Their food is originally dark cuisine. Now many nobles will go crazy after they can’t eat the food in the restaurant of the Demon Realm...
The Black family and the White family contributed some of their canned food to the Ice Emperor, which solved the urgent need of the Ice Emperor Claude.
This move made other nobles stand in awe: These two families are really loyal...
Hill wanted to laugh a little after hearing this information.
Worth mentioning are the Plague Islands.
In the past, the aborigines and pirates in the Plague Islands had no fixed beliefs. Some aborigines believed in ancient gods, but their gods didn't show much because of the tragedy of the Plague Islands, so most of the aborigines didn't have much faith. The sky is high and the church is far away, so from the very beginning, Hill planned to develop the Plague Islands into the second Famagusta, as the base of the Dark Holy See.
In the future, overseas islands can do this, forming islands to surround the mainland, gradually infiltrating inward, and finally, hehe.
At present, the belief in the Dark God is spreading very stably—because Monroe is in charge.
In addition, the money and supplies are in place, so most of the local aborigines have already begun to praise the Dark God verbally. As for how pious they are... It doesn't matter at the moment. Now is the time when momentum is not quality. Luo made it clear.
Some of the indigenous people were bought by money + materials, and some were infected by "The Last of the Mohicans" and "Song of the Mountain Eagle".
They knew that the Prince of the Demon Realm was stabbed by the Prince of Man, and unlike their dishonest beliefs, all the natives were very angry—because of their historical background.
Hill sent out leaflets in the Plague Islands for a few days. The leaflets are in a very vulgar gold-red color scheme, which is quite eye-catching. The title must be outlined with three-dimensional characters + white borders, and there are explosion borders... Oh yes, just like the ones posted on the street Those leaflets with "big discounts" and "jump prices" look the same, with all kinds of deceptive keywords written in them.
"Protest against racists!"
"The demons and the people of the Plague Islands stand together!"
"The Mortons (blacks) have something to say!"
On the back is Hill's adaptation of the short poem by Martin Niemoller:
"At first they went after the Mortons and I didn't speak up - because I wasn't a Morton.
Then, they hunted down the Plague Islanders, and I didn't speak—because I wasn't from the Plague Islands.
Later, they killed the demons, and I didn't speak - because I am not a demon.
Later, they fished civilians, I did not speak - because I am not a civilian.
In the end they came running to me, but no one stood up to speak for me anymore.
Under the nest, there are no eggs. "
Many aborigines were emotional after receiving the leaflet, and many even shed tears.
There are also some people who think that the color scheme of this flyer is so attractive, it is really eye-catching, and they can't help but want to take a look... Naturally, Hill laughed out loud at this, as the majority of people tried repeatedly Classic color scheme! Later, he made a colorful black to scare these aliens to death haha.
Taking this opportunity, many followers of the Dark God in the Plague Islands formally stood with the Dark Holy See in their hearts.
In this regard, Monroe wrote to Hill: "I have done so much in the Plague Islands before, and it is not as good as the effect of your random actions."
There is also a porcelain rose on the letter paper, which is a kind of flower that grows in the Plague Islands. The flower shape is unique and gorgeous, and it is quite beautiful. There are also on Earth.
Hill picked up the porcelain rose in the teleportation array, and kissed lightly on the petals—in fact, Monroe also kissed the porcelain rose before placing it in the teleportation array, and it was a coincidence for them. This coincidence has a kind of romance and warmth that people can't help softening.
Hill then wrote back:
"You are too self-effacing. It is because you have done enough groundwork before that I can take this opportunity to make an explosive push. In short, this is like being on the bed, and it takes only a few seconds to reach the Paradise of Elysium. But it wouldn’t have come to this point without the foreshadowing.”
Well, Hill thinks this metaphor is great, very spiritual, and very vivid.
He's really amazing and talented.
Then Hill wrote: "By the way, the words of the porcelain rose are love without a relationship."
After a few seconds, Monroe wrote back: "Give me back the flowers."
... poof.
Monroe is kinda cute ahaha.
