Everyone is mortal, and some people have mastered the skillful way of dying.
To Prince Tuttle Burley.
02.
Hill once again appeared in front of the public as a weak willow, Fufeng, and a sickly beauty (…), he made himself look pale and sick according to the style of the blood clan, and he was even a little more feminine, which aroused the public's dissatisfaction. He was distressed for a while, and at the same time he hated Prince Bolai even more.
But what makes Hill dumbfounded is that because of this, Hill has a bunch of mother fans inexplicably. Some demons think this is an insult to Lord Demon King! Theodore explained to the demons at that time that there are girlfriend fans, and there are also obsessed with the demon king's body, wouldn't that be a greater insult? The Mozu responded: Isn't this a matter of course? That means they have a good eye. Theodore nearly died laughing.
On the day when the "vacation" ended, a pop-up notification was first used, and then at night, Hill conducted a live broadcast on the magic phone.
"No one knows how many years humans and demons have existed. Since a long time ago, humans have established their own country on the mainland, multiplied, and freely pursued their own ideals and beliefs. The same is true for demons in the demon world. .Whether it is demons or humans, there are bad people among them, but in terms of racial nature, we are all the same, we are eager to survive. We have generally coexisted peacefully all the time, and the benefits of common development are far greater than war.
But now, we are involved in a war.
Yes, war.
The war on the surface seems to have ended a year ago, but the war on the inside has continued until now. This war is testing our two races—no, it is testing all intelligent beings in this world. It is asking whether we can continue to survive together for a long time
…
I think we all have a great mission right now, a great mission to end war once and for all. We've had enough victims, we're tired and don't want to go on. What kills us is not each other, but the evil thoughts in our hearts. We should learn more wisdom from the dead, we should prevent more victims from being produced, and we should devote ourselves to the cause of peace. Here, I solemnly declare that I am willing to maintain this hard-won situation at all costs, I am willing to tolerate all evil thoughts on me, and I am willing to dedicate everything I can.
Everyone suffers in war, and when it comes to race, no one is immune. I hope everyone will stand with me and make the greatest determination not to let the dead sacrifice in vain, and work together to make our race last forever. "
These speeches of Hill basically refer to the famous speeches on the earth, and his performance is very tense, so the effect is naturally leveraged.
After all kinds of foreshadowing, most people can also understand the meaning of this speech.
Next is "Violet Eternal Garden", and then Hill plans to take "Girls' Last Journey" to let them have a deeper experience. These two animations are progressive in layers. The former stays on the clear trauma of the war, and every story in it is closely related to the war. Although the latter seems to be two girls who are cute at first glance, but if you taste it carefully, It is frightening, and it directly shows the public an extremely cold, desperate, and sad world.
Hmm... After these two parts are played, the reunion will also enter the schedule.
After these three processes have passed, the concept of "earth community" must have formed in the hearts of the public.
After the speech, Hill selectively answered several questions on Weibo.
"My body...well, thank you for your concern. At present, it is out of danger, but that's all. After all, the other party was too well prepared at the time, so it is lucky to survive. As for whether there are sequelae, it is not yet known."
This is to further expand the interests of this matter.
"About the Demon World Mall, ah, I've been hurt like this. You don't care about me but about the mall. This is a bit too much... Just kidding, don't take it to heart." Hill showed a hearty smile, but this smile seemed It’s so distressing (…), “I will try my best to advance the opening time. Because many materials of the Demon Realm Shopping Center come from the Demon Realm, it can only continue to operate after my father’s approval. The father is still angry now, and I try my best to persuade him , Let him restore the supplies."
These are words full of hints.
—I'm working hard to restore the Devil's Emporium.
—It is not an easy task to restore the Demon World Mall, so you should cherish it.
— For this reason, shouldn’t you also work hard to do something
As for what to do? There are nothing more than three, one, invest more in the Demon Realm shopping mall; two, Prince Tuttle; three, go hostile to the Church of Light.
After casually saying such meaningful words, Hill continued: "It is pleasing that the series of anime will continue. Next week, an anime called "Violet Evergarden" will be broadcast. This anime takes place in modern times. It is a very classic animation, like a glass of old wine, it is worth savoring slowly."
The production cycle of this animation is really too long, after all, the picture is too fine, and some adaptations have also been carried out, which also consumed some extra experience of Hill.
"Next, please wait for the announcement. I dare not promise you. I can only say that I will do my best."
The last line 'I'll do my best' is also very clever.
After the live broadcast ended, people from the two empires breathed a sigh of relief. The long wait before was really too anxious.
Ice Emperor Claude wore ordinary clothes and had a "private visit" with Olivia. He looked at the crowds in the streets and alleys of Winter City—they were obviously different from before the live broadcast, not only in their expressions, but also in the breath they exuded. It's all different.
"Terrible influence..." Ice Empress Claude whispered.
After hearing this, Olivia was stunned for a moment, and her quick wit made her speak immediately, "Maybe everyone is worried that a war will break out because of this."
Ice Emperor Claude's brows relaxed a little, "That's true."
If it is worried that the demons will attack the human world because of Greenwald's death, it is normal for the public to react so much.
But of course Ice Empress Claude knew, but not only that.
The current influence of the Demon Race is really astonishing. When Claude thought of it, he couldn't help feeling a little heavy.
Of course, Hill has an estimate of what the people and those in power think, but everything is under his control. After turning off the live broadcast, he lazily untied the flower collar tied around his neck and threw it on the ground, complaining: "This stuff kills me."
His relaxed and wanton performance is in stark contrast to Ice Empress.
Grant, the troubadour over there, strode forward to pick up the flower collar, blew the dust on it, and respectfully handed it to Erwin next to him. He used to basically serve the nobles, and he was very familiar with these things.
The death knight Goldnia on the other side looked at Hill questioningly, but Hill had already looked at the rain outside. A few seconds later, Goldnia found that Hill would not respond to his gaze, so he had no choice but to say: "My king... are you serious about saying these words?"
"You mean I can't breathe?" Hill asked, "Do you think I'm so weak? Does it mean that if I'm really so weak, you can replace me? Or should I be a man?" His series of questions, And the question was quite aggressive.
Gordenia was not good at words, and his brain froze for a few seconds when Hill asked him such a question, and then he said weakly: "No, my king..."
"Have you realized how I feel this time? Usually, when you can't stop thinking about a word from me, I'm how you feel now." Hill said.
Gordeniya suddenly realized: "As expected of my king, there is such a deep meaning behind a casual sentence. My king, you are really amazing, but you should not only think about it, but also..."
"Stop. I was wrong. I shouldn't have said it." Forget it, let's accept fate and stop trying to struggle...
Goldnia was dazed for a few seconds, "Sorry, I'm too stupid."
"You're smart enough to go ahead and ask if I'm speaking from the heart?" Hill said.
"Yes, my lord," said Goldonia.
"Yes." Hill replied.
Gordenia felt that his tongue was a bit too stupid, he didn't know how to ask, so he simply took off his helmet, showed a puzzled expression, and asked Hill to see for himself (… ).
Yes, kind of cute.
All this fell into Hill's eyes, and he couldn't help smiling, and explained one more sentence: "However, people don't have to do things from the heart, Gore."
Goldonia understood this time, "So that's it."
"Are you worried that your army won't be useful if I really make peace?" Hill asked.
Goldnia nodded, "There is one aspect of this concern. I have no objection, but I think Gormon will feel that he has lost value. He will probably lose it."
The main responsibility of the magic dragon Gormon in the past was to lead the army.
"Haven't Gormond discovered that selling meat can also generate great value? You are the same in this regard, Gore. Many people love you and love you." Hill said.
Gordon coughed suddenly.
No matter how many times I hear this kind of thing, I feel a little embarrassed... By the way, he was regarded as a heartless person by everyone in the beginning, how did it become like this... He feels that it is better to be a heartless person.
Hill glanced at the troubadour Grant, who immediately said cleverly: "Then I'll go out first, Lord Demon King."
"Wait at the door, there is something else to do later." Hill said.
"Okay, Lord Demon King." Grant saluted and slipped away holding the lute.
Alice was drawing with a pencil over there, and Hill usually let her sit in on such things, although she couldn't understand most of them.
The scientific research department has just researched the pencil, but it has not yet entered the mass production stage-they still need to further reduce the cost. Hill took some for Alice to play with.
"Military force is the basis for ensuring peace." Hill opened his mouth and said something that could be regarded as a famous aphorism in another world, "Disputes are permanent, and peace is relative."
Gordenia had a solemn expression, "I understand, my king."
Hill nodded, "After dealing with the recent affairs, we have to start expanding the military academy."
Previously, Hill only instilled military law and the like in some generals, and now he plans to start training the army seriously.
After talking with Goldnia, the troubadour Grant came in, and Hill planned to ask him to write an article on how to write novels. He dictated some of his ideas to Grant, and asked Grant to write it himself. Then Hill transferred some other aspects of writing knowledge from the Internet, put them together, and let Grant integrate them into a "Writing Guide". There is also a need for such reference books.
"Roughly speaking, there are two types of novels, one with brains and one without brains. Those with brains are called literature, and those without brains... can actually be positioned as service industries." Hill said, "This you Do you understand?"
Grant nodded frequently, "I understand, Lord Demon King, just like our troubadours, some of our poems are for expressing our own emotions, exploring our emotions, or pursuing a more beautiful realm, while some of our poems are for flattering high-ranking officials and digging their horses. Fart, for example, I created a lot of that kind of poetry for you, and you like it too... "
"...I feel very embarrassed by what you said too bluntly." Hill said solemnly, "As for me, when I feel embarrassed, I will do something out of control."
Grant quickly shut his mouth, "Well, I'm sorry, you continue." This threat is too terrible, isn't it Lord Demon King? !
It seems that it is still very useful to bully people with power, Hill nodded with satisfaction, and said: "These two realms, I will not push the former, I will put my level there, and I can give some opinions on the latter. The first thing to do is the sense of substitution.”
"Sense of substitution!" Grant repeated, feeling that he had caught something.
"Yes, if I were a reader, and I saw an ordinary-looking protagonist, I would have no sense of substitution and identity."
Grant: "Puff... cough cough cough... yes, you are indeed very handsome, Lord Demon King."
Hill: "Your 'poof' has contempt for me."
Grant immediately said, "No, I swear to God I didn't."
After he finished speaking, he wiped off his sweat, today's Lord Demon King is extraordinarily lively...
Grant spent a week sorting out the book, and then published it as a collection, selling it for three gold coins.
This price is actually quite expensive, but soon all the troubadours have a copy. Troubadours are not short of money—in theory, but most of them spend too much money, so they are always in short supply, but looking at the total amount, their consumption can actually be compared to the upper class. of.
