How to make public the fact that the demons attacked the human village this time is a problem.
One advantage of hiding words is that it can be seen whether the church is involved in this matter. If this incident was really done spontaneously by some demons, then under the deliberate concealment of the demons and the Yulan Empire, the church would not know about it, after all, it happened in a border village. If the church exposes this matter, then it means that the church has meddled in this matter.
"Then, it's safer if we follow this line of thinking." Erwin, the fire elemental elf, put forward his opinion.
"What do you think?" Hill looked at the death knight Goldonia.
"No." Gordenia shook his head and said, "I don't think humans can understand it."
"I think the idea is very clear," said Erwen, the fire elemental elf. "Let's hide the matter first, and then wait to see what happens next. If nothing happens, it's just right for us, just keep it secret." Human beings, if we find and kill those murderer demons, the lies will become true, and human beings will not have doubts about the demons. If the church announces this matter, we will announce it to the public and say that we concealed it. It is a method in itself, waiting for the church to jump out and expose itself, so that human beings can directly surpass the demons to hate the church."
Hill smiled and nodded, "Gol, do you have something to say?"
"No." Goldnia said, "I think what the elemental elves said makes sense."
"No, you have to have something to say," Hill said, his voice commanding this time.
Gordenia was stunned for a moment, and had to start thinking hard about what to say. After a while, he finally thought of something: "The church said in turn, 'If we don't find out about this and announce it to the world What will happen?' Is the fact that you deceived and concealed true? Are you really going to announce this matter? We have every reason to doubt your absolute motives, after all, the murderers are demons."
"This is sophistry!" Erwin raised his voice.
"Do you think what we have been doing and saying are not sophistry?" Hill asked back.
Erwen was dumbfounded by this self-blame, "Uh, well, many things my king said to human beings are very reasonable, not sophistry."
"No, I've always thought debate was exhausting if it wasn't sophistication," Hill said.
The ghost Binns next to him said slowly: "I thought it was necessary to 'defend the truth'."
"Truth exists objectively, and it would be too sad if you need to argue hard to defend it, so I like to use my fists to defend the truth and debate to defend fallacies," Hill said.
Alice listened to these words by the side, trying hard to remember these words in her little head. She commented: "After listening to Hill's words, my eyes light up."
Alice's words made the other demons except Hill dumbfounded for a few seconds.
Gordenia said tentatively: "My king, don't you think this way of teaching human children is a bit unreasonable?"
"I think so," Hill said. "What do you think, Alice?"
"I'll take all you give me," said Alice, "I can take it all."
"What a good child." Hill put his hand on Alice's head and touched it, "Well...but I'm going to grow up, so I can't touch my head casually." Then he planned to move his hand away. Alice raised her head to look at Hill's hand, then she stretched out her claws to grab Hill's hand and placed it on her head again, "I want to continue." Alice said in a very soft voice.
It's so cute it melts...
Hill felt his heart soften a bit.
"I will accept everything that is given to her..." Ghost Binns repeated in a low voice, as if he understood something.
However, Hill did not give others the opportunity to continue to pay attention to this matter, and his behavior of returning to the topic immediately made this episode very short: "Gore was right just now, human beings have various ways of thinking. All factors must be fully considered.”
"They have all kinds of ways of thinking, but some of their ways of thinking are wrong," Ervin said.
Albrecht, the dark elf who had been cutting wood over there, glanced at Erwin over there, and said in a cold voice, "You have refuted my king twice today, fire elemental elf."
Although Albrecht is sticky to Hill, he seems to be very easy to get along with, just give him three parts of the spring, he is very brilliant, oh, the next sentence seems a bit yellow in the actual situation: give him a little flood Just flood. Um. Think very yellow. The word "Thinking about fear" has become "Thinking about extreme fear" in Hill, and it's damn right. — Back to Al again. Although he has such an overly enthusiastic attitude towards Hill, Al is very cold when facing other people, and he even becomes hostile to the people around Hill.
Erwin was taken aback by Albrecht's words, his expression was a little scared. According to his status, Erwen is just a servant, and he is far behind the five elders. Irwin was indeed just a small servant by the side of the former Demon King. After Hill came, Irwin's affairs became more complicated, and his status seemed to have risen a bit.
"I made Erwin listen, think, and talk more." Hill looked at the dark elf sitting in the shadows in the corner, "And I hope you, Alvin, can do the same."
Then Ervin witnessed how the dark elves, who were still frosty just now, became enthusiastic and even greasy and sticky. At that moment, Ervin felt that the crowded facial features of the dark elves looked like slimes.
"Alright, my king! Since this is what my king wants, then I will obey it 100%!"
In the past, Hill needed to establish absolute majesty on them, so it was not allowed to be refuted. But now the situation has changed, and the policy has also changed. Hill hopes that they can grow up to be independent.
"Okay, don't make trouble." Hill smiled and glanced at the dark elf Albrecht.
"... The way my king said 'don't make trouble' is so spoiling." The dark elf muttered to himself.
"... I thought it was disgusting." Death Knight Goldonia whispered.
Fortunately, Albrecht was immersed in his own world and didn't hear Gore's words, otherwise he would probably start a fuss.
Hill shook his head at the fuss of his subordinates, but in fact, it feels pretty good. A group that deals with business while making noise is a very attractive group, especially on Earth.
"Yes, some people will hold wrong views. But there is nothing we can do about this kind of thing. We stand higher and target more groups, so even if they are wrong, as long as many people hold a You should also avoid wrong views. This is the right and wrong of the superior." Hill said, "And let's say... it is still in the stage of creating a career."
The demons nodded frequently, only Alice asked blankly: "Well, Hill, is this tolerance or arrogance?"
Hill leaned down and kissed Alice's forehead, with compassion in his voice: "Absolute tolerance is arrogance."

Dijon tribe. frontier.
The wind was strong, and the grassland wind roared in the dark night.
The jackals sat together, and the bonfire was lit and extinguished, making their wolf faces even more terrifying.
"Let's stand by and let those blood ghosts kill people..." The leader of the wolf man waved the enchanted ax in his hand in dissatisfaction.
"Boss, since all the demons are starting to kill people, let's do it too." said a wolf man over there.
"But the church told us to stay put for orders." The leader of the gnolls said.
"Anyway, some demons have already started killing people. It's okay for us to kill a few." Another wolf man muttered.
"It's been a long time since I tasted fresh blood." A jackal with many scars on his face said.
"We have been listening to the church for too long. Although the church will send a few living people for us to play with every once in a while, it is not enough... The demons look down on us, and the orcs also look down on us gnolls. The world is just to live unscrupulously, to kill people, to have fun, what is this now." The deputy leader complained.
"Kill!" a jackal raised his fist and said.
"Kill!" The jackal next to him also shouted.
"Kill—" many jackals raised their fists together and shouted.
The leader of the jackals stood up slowly.
All the gnolls fell silent, respecting their leader very much.
They have traveled too many places with the leader, and received too much indifference. All they have is each other. They are tyrannical, bloodthirsty, irritable, cruel, and cunning. This is their original racial characteristic. They are born this way, and they feel that they do not need to change. Many demons think they are weak, but they also have their pride.
The leader slowly raised his hand, fingers spread out.
The other gnolls were a little disappointed. This meant to stop, didn't the leader agree to do it in advance
The fire flickered.
The leader's five fingers closed together and turned into a fist, and he roared like the other gnolls:
"kill!"
The moon is shining brightly.
All the gnolls also roared in unison:
"kill!"
The wind roared.
The whole night was stained a little blood red.
The bloodbathed human tribe was not discovered until two days later.
03.
In the "Demon Magazine" three days later, Hill used a page to report on the attack of the demons on the human village. The articles written by him himself reveal a sense of officialdom between the lines.
"According to the news from the day before yesterday, the river village of the Yulan Empire and the Bate clan on the border of the Dijon tribe were bloodbathed by the demons one after the other. The soldiers of the two countries and the people of the dark church felt that the scene was very miserable and no one survived. The demon king himself also paid close attention In this matter, he said that the timing of these two attacks was too strange. After all, it has been many years since the demons injured people. Now that they are happening at the same time, and they are happening twice, there must be a conspiracy against humans and demons behind this.
Since the Great War, the Demon King has reorganized the Demon Realm, so the Demon Race in the Demon Realm will never do such a thing, which is inconsistent with the foreign policies and attitudes of the Demon King and the entire Demon Realm. The Dark Holy See is now fully investigating this matter. They judge that this was done by the demons who were left in the human world. They are now the most wanted criminals in the human world and the demon world. Their harm to humans is to the current demons. Betrayal, their behavior is no different from that of vicious bandits and robbers, and neither the demon world nor the human world will condone such behavior. "
Hill's article was written very cleverly. He didn't repeatedly declare like a child, "I said a long time ago that there are bad people in the Demon Race, and I reminded you." Instead, he calmly described the matter first. Read it again, without pretense, simple and direct. Then he pointed out that the two attacks before and after were too strange. After he heard that the Dijon tribe was also attacked, he was actually relieved in his heart, although it was not good to say so.
Such two attacks in tandem made Hill directly understand that someone was behind the scenes.
This is also the reason why the gnolls of the Dijon tribe disobeyed the order of the church. The pope meant to let the wolves wait first, and they were too anxious to take over the wolves, and they didn't understand the overall situation—of course they didn't care about the overall situation. Objectively speaking, their early actions have deceived the church. Teresa had a wonderful expression when he heard about it at the time. He was about to scold the Pope hypocritically, but the Pope was very indifferent to it: "Since you are doing something that is not good. If things happen, you must be able to withstand the backlash of bad things, and it is not unexpected that this happened, Teresa, you need to look at the problem more calmly."
Teresa was faintly startled, he lowered his head and said, "Thank you for your teaching, Your Majesty the Pope."
In fact, Teresa disapproved of the Pope before approaching the Pope. This disapproval mainly came from what happened to her boss Monroe. People like Monroe were treated like that, and that certainly epitomizes the church as a whole. Theresa felt that such a church was simply abolished. He used to think that even if there was no demon world, the church would kill itself. But when he got close to the Pope, he found that he had to admit that the Pope was indeed a powerful guy, and Teresa even began to have a little admiration for him.
But Teresa understands that it is human nature to worship the strong. At the same time, Teresa also understands that she is not weak. So this tinge of admiration does not conflict with loathing the Pope himself, nor does it conflict with him being his enemy. After Teresa really understood the concept of gods and the pope as the spokesperson of gods in the world, Teresa had only one pope. from beginning to end.

Demon tour group.
"Yesterday's surfing was so exciting, what do you think of Qi Li?" Helen Leslie asked.
"It's really good, but Helen, you have such a side." Qi Li Dale said with a light smile.
Yesterday the well-known Yulan City courtesan stepped on a surfboard, riding the wind and waves driven by magic, her blond hair fluttering, which made many men in the tour group straighten their eyes.
Madam Helen covered half of her face with a round fan, and said with a smile: "People always have many faces. I really like the frontispiece of the last issue of the magazine: 'If you have a tiger in your heart, smell the rose lightly'."
The cover of the last issue of the magazine featured the succubus Summer who played the heroine of "Iron Man". She was leaning on a mighty and domineering tiger, holding a dewy rose in her hand and sniffing lightly. The whole picture is full of impact, the charming and sexy woman, the strong and terrifying tiger, the slender rose flower... With a little backlit lens, you can see the shadow cast from the side, the tiger's shadow gradually shrinks and is completely covered by the succubus' shadow, This symbolizes that the tiger is from the mind of the succubus, not the real thing.
Therefore, the matching words are: There is a tiger in my heart, and I sniff the rose lightly.
The cover was well-received, and many issues later, people still wrote to talk about this classic photography.
After Mrs. Helen mentioned that issue of the magazine, more people immediately got involved in that topic:
"I heard that we can also submit photography works to magazines by ourselves."
"It's very difficult to shoot at the level of a magazine cover."
"And you have to have the right people to be photographed..."
"Ms. Helen, you can actually try it, you are so beautiful."
Sitting on the train, enjoying the scenery outside the window, drinking a glass of delicious juice, chatting with friends.
This feeling can be very good.
Not long after the train arrived, the tour guide this time was the paladin Everdin, who was the first batch of paladins to follow Monroe to the Demon Realm, and there was also a dark elf who was a little taciturn.
The two led the tourists to get off the train and enjoy the twilight forest on foot. The tourists were all in high spirits.
"After going back this time, I can develop a lot of photos and come out."
"I don't know if these photos submitted to the magazine will be published?"
"I don't want to go back..."
At this moment, the dark elf in front suddenly made a "stop" gesture, and then rarely took the initiative to say: "There is a situation."
Paladin Everdin stopped: "Is there a monster?"
"No." The dark elf shook his head, his fingers rubbed against his thigh, and he didn't know where he pulled out two scimitars. At the same time, magic attacked from all directions. A black-blue energy flow instantly swept across the entire area, and many tourists screamed.
With a "bang" the light dissipated, blood stains appeared on the corner of the dark elf's mouth.
Then dozens of demons walked out of the forest, all of them looked menacing, and there were three human beings mixed in among the demons, they were ascetic monks of the Church of Light.
The dark elf looked up at the paladin, his blue-purple eyes still looked cold and rebellious: "I'm not good at frontal attack, you defend."
"Yes." Paladin Avedin said.
The dark elf took a step back, and his whole body dissipated like black smoke.
This time, the Bright Church was well prepared and tried to kill all these tourists as quickly as possible. The weight of this group of tourists is much heavier than the first group of tourists. If they die in the devil world, it will undoubtedly cause an uproar.
After a few rounds, the paladin Avedin and the dark elf suffered serious injuries.
"Damn human..." the dark elf whispered as he rubbed his swords together.
"Do you hate humans?" Paladin Everdeen asked standing beside him.
"Hateful." The dark elf said without thinking, even though he had just fought alongside a human.
"But you are protecting the humans behind you," said Paladin Avedin.
"This is my king's order, and I am willing to die for it," said the dark elf.
"Well, don't hate humans in the future, there are good people among humans." Everdin said.
The dark elf looked at him in surprise, but he smiled slightly. He stuck the knight sword in his hand on the ground, and holy light radiated from his body.
"When I became a paladin, Captain Monroe, who baptized me, told me that we need to use the sword in our hands to remove Moweidao and protect the glory.
Judging, the dark elves beside me are not devils, and the demons and humans opposite me are the real devils.
—angels, sacrifices. "
The intense holy light engulfed Everdeen, and the dark elf opened his eyes slightly, and the last words of Everdeen floated into his ears:
"Sorry, Dark Elf."
Five minutes later, all the demons including the ascetic monk died.
The dark elves were almost killed by the descending angels. At the last moment, other demons arrived, and after resisting the angels together for a while, the angels dissipated by themselves.
The scene was tragic, and the tourists were still in shock. Fortunately, there were no casualties.
