One of the things victims of Netherworld culture/gastronomy really love is dragging other 'innocents' into the water. Watching them go from "what the hell" "go away" to "fuck this is fine" "oh my god it's so delicious/beautiful", at this time Amway users will have a very sour feeling — Hahaha, you know how I felt back then!
This behavior was particularly evident when "Fairy Tale Hotel" was released and when the album "Song of the Psycho" was sold.
So at this time, after McMillan Warren said that he wanted to know more about the demons, most of the guests sitting on the first floor of the hotel became excited, and everyone chatted to him about popular science. He carefully wrote down all these things.
All kinds of movies, anime, food, music, mobile games, immersive theater... McMillan feels as if he has entered another world. As a native of the Fussen Empire, he loves various arts like everyone else in the Fussen Empire. So he himself became very interested in these.
The Fussen Empire is famous for its love of art, and they are the cultural center of the entire continent—although they are the smallest and weakest of the several great empires, they usually surrender at light speed after launching a war, so other empires don’t bother to invade They, just like this, the Fussen Empire has survived for many, many years.
When Hill planned to engage in cultural invasion not long after time travelling, he had two options before him, one was the Fussen Empire and the other was the Yulan Empire. At that time, he felt that the Fussen Empire was a novice mode, and the Yulan Empire was more difficult. After thinking about it, he chose Yulan Empire as the start.
All kinds of unexpected events that followed did prove that the start of the Yulan Empire would be difficult. Fortunately, Hill himself is good enough, coupled with continuous learning to improve himself, all those troubles have been resolved one by one.
McMillan was completely obsessed with it at this time. Someone told him that the store next door rented projection stones for various animations, so Macmillan immediately rented them. Under the introduction of the shop owner next door, he rented the projection stone for the first season of "Natsume's Book of Friends".
The lease of the Projection Stone was within Hill's expectation, and he would not object to it, and of course he would not support it. It is also good to expand the influence of animation in this way. Objectively, it will lose a lot of money, but people always have to look at the long-term, not to mention that he is the devil.
McMillan mortgaged his identity certificate in the store, and happily returned to the hotel with the projection stone. He planned to watch it for a while to rest, but ended up, uh, barely sleeping all night.
It was dawn when the last episode of the first season ended, and McMillan was immersed in the warm world of "Natsume's Book of Friends". He gave a fuck in his heart, and then got into bed to catch up on sleep.
This sleep lasted until noon, and Macmillan had various dreams. He dreamed that his magic book had become a book of friends, and that every page was filled with the names of succubi, and those succubi were getting prettier one by one. He opened a page and read a name, and finally summoned Tony. Stark's succubus assistant, when he was surprised, Iron Man descended from the sky and roared, "How dare you grab a woman from me!" Finally, he was knocked down with the black dwarf technology.
McMillan woke up instantly. He recalled the dream for a while in bed, and then he couldn't help but hey hey a few times.
Last night was really crazy, he thought, and he actually fell into it like this. No, no, no, I have to do a good job today. He finished washing while reflecting on himself, and then he went downstairs to go to the store next door to return the projection stone, and then he heard people on the first floor discussing "Violet Evergarden".
"The projection stone of "Violet Evergarden" is now on sale."
"I really waited too long!"
"Violet is really beautiful, the whole picture is really beautiful and dreamy."
"Oh, the light. Ah, the water."
McMillan felt a little shaken in his heart. He heard them say that the heroine is a hybrid of a human and a succubus, and how wonderful it is to hear them tell the story. No, he said in his heart, he has other things to do today. ... He went to the store next door and returned the projection stone. The boss smiled and said, "You can see really fast, but many people are at your speed."
"Because it's so exciting and warm," McMillan said.
"Well, speaking of warmth, "Violet Evergarden", just released, do you want it?" the boss asked.
don't want. McMillan wanted to say so. But his hand has unconsciously reached for his wallet.
This stretch, three days passed.
At noon on the fourth day, Macmillan found himself out of money.
He was in a daze for a while, and he had the impression that he brought a lot of money here, why did it disappear? This, this... oh, he seems to have come here for a study tour, but ended up spending four days in a hotel, and went to the Devil's Restaurant for lunch, and rented a lot of animation, it's normal to have no money.
But at this time, he no longer had the initial annoyance. He thought to himself to find a job. As a magician, it was easy to find a job. After earning enough money, I watch all other anime and movies. he thought.
McMillan went to the Devil's Emporium, he was reluctant to part with everything here, and he would not be able to come here for a while. He likes to eat the food of the Demon Realm restaurant, but he cares more about the cultural aspects—all people in the Fussen Empire are like this. So in the end, he plans to use the remaining money to watch movies, anime and buy books instead of eating. He had his last lunch and was a little sad.
These days he has become familiar with that waiter, and the waiter saw that his face was not right, and asked, "Sir, you don't seem to be in a good mood?"
McMillan thought for a while, and told the truth about his situation.
"That's it." The waiter nodded, "I'll report to the master to see if he has any suitable jobs for you."
"Thank you." McMillan said, "But I'm a mage, so it's not hard to find a job."
He didn't know who the master the waiter was talking about. He subconsciously thought that the so-called job was doing odd jobs. He was a mage, and he had a rather noble status, so he naturally looked down on those. Of course, if you have a lot of money, you can borrow one step to talk (…).
McMillan slowly enjoyed this delicious lunch, including braised barracuda, fried steak with rosemary, mushroom and bacon soup, and a small plate of fruit salad. Every time he ate the food at the Demon Realm restaurant, he felt as if he was about to ascend to heaven. He couldn't help but think, ah, it would be great if he was a demon. When he returned to the hotel, he found that the guests were discussing miracles on the first floor.
The miracle of the Church of Light? This is big news that has caused a sensation across the continent.
Macmillan immediately began to listen.
"The Pope said that the Church of Light has a floating island, which he declared a few days ago as a gift from the God of Light."
"A miracle? The floating island is a miracle? What is the floating island of the fallen angel..."
"His Royal Highness Greenwald said in the magazine that the floating island of the fallen angels was floated up by magic, and it was ascended by our own strength, and had nothing to do with the gods."
"Is the Church of Light lying to people..."
Macmillan interjected: "If the Pope is not deceiving, and the church's floating island is indeed a miracle, it shows that the church's God is nothing more than that..."
"That's right, their gods are about as powerful as the demons themselves!"
"I don't know what those believers will think, I feel a little sympathetic to them."
McMillan had completely forgotten what he was thinking three days ago. At that time, he thought it would be okay to watch it for a while. He was a firm mage, so he just took a look, and his thoughts would not be distorted. Today, he is very proficient in standing on the same front as the locals of Yulan City.
McMillan readily joined the discussion, skillfully blowing down the Angel Floating Island with everyone, spraying the miracles of the church together, and then began to mock the entire church. Although these people were not believers in the first place, they could not have imagined that they would publicly criticize the church and the gods in this way a year ago. It seems like it's becoming a... trend these days
This scene is just a small microcosm, similar phenomena are currently happening in the Yulan Empire and various places in Muelheim.
After eating his mouth, Macmillan went upstairs to rest. After the lunch break, the waiter in the hotel told him that someone was looking for him. McMillan went downstairs unexpectedly and saw a man dressed as a servant. He said respectfully that his family invited him to meet him.
"Who is your adult?" Macmillan asked.
"Theodore Baker," said the servant.
Many people present gasped, Theodore, this is the famous Theodore! Many people looked at Macmillan with respect, this is the person invited by Lord Theodore!
McMillan was also shocked, he was no longer the little mage who just came to Magnolia City and knew nothing. Of course he knows about Theodore Baker, a legendary figure. Theodore is the deputy editor-in-chief of "Magic World Magazine", and he is still serving as the assistant to the bachelor of Yulan Empire. It is said that he himself has a close relationship with His Royal Highness Greenwald. This is definitely one of the most important figures in Yulan City! I actually want to see him!
Macmillan felt dizzy.
McMillan followed the servant all the way to the Demon World Magazine, and he met Theodore himself after the hierarchical notification. Theodore wore a crimson silk turban, a double fleece vest over breeches of the same material, behind him a sapphire-blue lined, white wool-trimmed cloak fastened at his shoulders by a brooch of stars and swords — This is the mark of a bachelor's assistant.
His dress is different from those gorgeously dressed nobles outside, it looks simple but imposing. He smiled and asked him to sit down and let the servants serve him tea. He was personable and had an extraordinary conversation. Although he was born as a commoner, McMillan felt that Theodore was more attractive than those great nobles he had seen before.
McMillan felt unbelievable. Could it be that everything related to the demons is so powerful? He felt that he was on the verge of falling for Theodore.
"I heard that you are from the Fessen Empire." Theodore said.
"Yes, my lord," replied MacMillan, trying to make himself as grand as possible.
"I also heard that you have no money." Theodore said with a smile.
McMillan immediately felt very embarrassed: "Eh, yes, my lord." Only then did he realize that the master mentioned by the waiter at the Devil's Restaurant was Theodore! So, the work thing...
Sure enough, Theodore mentioned that there is a job, this job not only has a lot of gold coins to get, but also enjoys a lot of employee benefits in the Demon World Mall, such as three meals a day, such as watching animation movies.
McMillan immediately felt that even serving a plate was acceptable.
Then Theodore told him that he needed to bring some products from the Demon World Mall—including projection stones, canned food and other gadgets—to the Fussen Empire for sale, and there would be a few graduates of the Magnolia Academy of Magic with him.
For McMillan, this is simply a big pie falling from the sky.
The matter of the study tour is settled, and there are graduates from the Yulan Academy of Magic! The question of money was also settled, and Lord Theodore said that half the money for the goods sold would go to him. And you can watch those anime on the way... wow.
He was dizzy when he came out of the magazine.
02.
At present, the Church of Light has realized the threat of the Demon Realm Mall, so they will not allow Hill to open the Demon Realm Mall in the Fussen Empire and the Eutin Empire.
Hill also anticipated this a long time ago, so he also thought of countermeasures in advance. Since it can't be done openly, then it's better to keep it secret. He arranged for Olivia and the others to let the folks move around to sell goods from the devil world. Previously, most of the commodities were exported to the Dijon tribe. This time, it was rare that someone from the Fessen Empire came to Magnolia City. After hearing about it, Theodore immediately went to find him.
Countless seeds were sown.
Hill likes a saying that a single spark can start a prairie fire.
03.
It is theoretically very appropriate, and even wise, for His Holiness the Pope of the Church of Light to publicize the miracle of the floating island at this time. After all, the church's reputation has just dropped a little because of the "betrayal" of the ascetic monks, so spreading a miracle at this time will reinvigorate people's hearts.
As far as the past is concerned, this is indeed the case.
When the church has great power and power, and when people feel empty and need faith, they basically believe what the church says. Just like in the Middle Ages on earth, some people were considered demons because they wore striped clothes and then burned to death, and some girls were judged as witches because they fed cats. People in the church said that people were born with sins, so they had to donate money to the church, coins Clinking into the box means the soul ascends to heaven.
There are so many people who believe in these nonsense things, not to mention the powerful church in the other world.
But now a lot has changed.
Their hearts are no longer empty, they start to think racial equality.
What Hill conveyed in those animation novels and movies is not only those ideas, but also a core idea: people should pursue their own happiness. In fact, this is the weapon that truly defeats the church in essence, an ideological shock.
After the ascetic monk betrayed the world, Hill made a pre-judgment. He thought that if he were the pope, he would choose this time to promote miracles. In the end, he was right in his prediction, which made the pope seem to be making a face Stretch it in front of Hill and let him hit it.
Playing cards, the most terrifying thing is that the enemy knows what cards you have in your hand.
Hill managed to turn the church's first counterattack into a joke. Then it was time to extract even greater benefits: Teresa wrote to the Pope explaining the matter, and then said: "I think there are traitors in the Church."
There must be a traitor, otherwise how could there be such a coincidence
If Teresa didn't write like this, then the pope would really doubt him, because it seems that Teresa brought it up first, but Teresa said so blatantly that I think there are traitors in the church, which is in Invisibly, his suspicion was erased again. The other thing is to make the pope start to doubt these people under him.
It is Hill's typical style to kill multiple birds with one stone. ①
03.
When all kinds of things happened outside, Hill had already started to organize the shooting of "Invincible Hulk".
After the filming of "Invincible Hulk", an original "Iron Man 2" has to be made, and then the filming of "Thor" has to be started. The script of "Thor" needs to be carefully considered. After all, Hill intends to directly set Thor as the devil The son is coming. And then the whole "Captain Magnolia", and then I can shoot Avengers One.
Longing.
