N years later.
Tomorrow is Children's Day, Hill thought about it before going to bed and took Alice out shopping tomorrow, after all, it's Children's Day, so it's good to be with her.
Early the next morning, when Hill woke up, the first thing he saw was the three elders who were lying on the window sill outside and looking at him. The three demons were lined up head to head, which scared Hill straight away. .
This is too scary. Let Hill directly think of those one-sentence horror stories:
"You heard someone calling your name by the window in the middle of the night, and you were about to go over to have a look, when you suddenly remembered that you lived on the sixth floor."
And the top floor of the Blackrock Tower is much higher than the sixth floor.
Hill got up from the bed and opened the window, asking blankly, "What are you doing?"
The three elders looked at each other, and the magic dragon Gormon climbed up first, cleared his throat and said, "My king, Happy Children's Day."
"...that's not the point, please explain what you're doing now." Hill continued with a deadpan expression.
The ghost Binns said seriously: "I was planning to be the first person my king saw today, so that I could be the first to say Happy Children's Day to my king. Then I saw Gormond outside the Blackrock Tower Flap your wings."
Gormon said, "Alighieri used the levitation technique to fly first."
Alighieri adjusted his monocle: "I just floated myself up, so I didn't try to peek at my king's sleeping face with the projection stone first."
This time the other two elders looked at him.
Alighieri's heart fluctuated a little, and his face became serious: "...that projection stone exploded as soon as it flew up."
Hill: "..."
Hill looked at Alighieri silently, and he said why he felt something wrong while sleeping, and then subconsciously used magic. It turned out that someone was trying to secretly take pictures.
Ali Gaili showed a guilty expression on his face.
"... So just to fight for the qualification of 'the first one to tell me happy June 1st', how many people squeezed together on the window?" Hill squinted at them.
"Uh, yes, that's it." After finishing speaking, Gormon said righteously: "No, they are the only ones like this. As the general of the Demon Realm, I am responsible for protecting my king. I am worried that this evil witch will What the devil and the treacherous ghost have done to you, that's why I reluctantly lie at your window."
Hill didn't know what to say, he shook his head and sighed: "You guys, can you do some things that normal people would do, don't you all be such idiots, okay? Look at how self-conscious Al is now, once he He is the most idiotic one, and now he is doing his own thing calmly, and he didn't come over early in the morning to mingle with you... "
"Uh, my king, please allow me to interrupt." Erwen floated over there and said.
"What?" Hill asked.
"Your Excellency Albrecht, the dark elf, tried to hide under your bed last night, and crawled out after twelve o'clock midnight to say Happy Children's Day to you. After being discovered by Monroe, he dragged him out and beat him violently. So today he It didn't show up a long time ago." Erwin said.
Hill: "..."
Why don't you worry about each of them!
The other three elders immediately showed admiration, and the muscular Gormond said bluntly: "Wow, as expected of Al..."
Hill: "..."
You are enough!
However, he really deserves to be the most idiotic Albrecht...
Why is this good Children's Day so scary at the beginning
In the end, everyone had breakfast together. Albrecht arrived at the end of the breakfast dragging his sick body, and said excitedly to Hill, "Happy Children's Day, my king!"
Hill understood a little compassion: "It's not easy for you."
Albrecht immediately took off his shirt: "Yes, look at my king, this is my injury for you!"
Hill: "..."
Monroe was ruthless, but Hill's compassion was gone.
hehe. Hehehe.
The so-called self-inflicted can't live, probably this is what it means.
After the meal, Albrecht asked, "My lord, what are your plans for today?"
"I'm going to take Alice to go shopping." Hill said, "It's Children's Day after all."
Albrecht: "My lord, I also want to..."
"No," Hill said.
Albrecht thought for a moment, turned around in a circle and turned into a child: "My king~ I'm getting smaller now~"
Hill looked at him blankly.
The dark elf Albrecht pondered for a while: "My lord, if I have a child in the future, can you take my child shopping?"
"Okay," Hill said.
"Then can you bring the child's father along?" Albrecht asked.
Hill looked at him speechlessly.
Albrecht was already getting excited: "Then I will go to have a baby now, and I will be able to be with my king next year..."
Hill took a deep breath and put his hand on the sword at his waist.
Gormond next to him said heavily: "My king, do it, I can't listen anymore."
Crackling, crackling.
Exercise right after breakfast.
02.
Monroe is busy, otherwise it would be nice to go shopping with him.
Alice's legs had been healed. She was wearing a small dress and a lace parasol and walked beside Hill. They were on the central street of the Plague Islands. The Plague Islands are now known as the "Little Demon World", and Hill has carried out a comprehensive transformation here. The source of the name of the Plague Islands was very sad, but now the word "plague" in the Plague Islands is a bit more cool when paired with the city style.
Humans, natives, demons, and pirates can be seen everywhere on the streets, living in harmony and friendship. Hill walked a few steps and saw a three-dimensional image of a shark pounced on him in front of him, biting his head with its mouth wide open, and then the image turned into an advertisement at the moment of the bite: "Watch the Dawn Shark Tour! Take you Experience the charm of sharks up close! Sign up now and enjoy a 20% discount!"
Hill touched the top of his head, feeling that the ad was really scary.
In other words, can we introduce laws to control these advertisements? If the three-dimensional images fly around, it is easy to scare the children.
Next to it is a dance hall opened by a demon, but it is not very lively, which makes Hill a little surprised, because the general demon dance hall is quite popular. Hill took a closer look, oh well, there are tauren beauties and goblin girls standing at the door soliciting customers, no wonder there are no customers...
Alice hasn't been to the Plague Islands for a while, and the development here is really changing with each passing day. She couldn't help showing a bit of childish innocence, which made Hill feel a little emotional. Although he has been devoting himself to educating Alice these years, Hill is still a little bit embarrassed after the latter has gradually grown into a qualified and cold superior. He has not seen such a sincere smile from Alice for a long time. They are all pretending to be innocent or showing a cruel smile. In the past, many people were afraid of Hill because of her, but now many people are afraid of her because she is her.
Hill bought Alice a box of magic chocolates with different flavors due to mood changes, and then bought a mechanical bird and a baby shark. The little shark is contained in a magic bubble. It is suspended in the air and can swim around in the air. The owner needs to hold a magic device to control the bubble, and replace the magic spar and the sea water in the bubble every once in a while. That’s fine, oh, and of course you have to feed them. The price of this little shark pet is 1,000 magic crystals. The design concept was proposed by Hill at the time, but Hill didn't expect it to be so expensive.
We went shopping happily together, and then went to the Mojie restaurant for lunch. Of course, we wanted a children's set meal.
In the afternoon they went to the Death Bird, which is currently anchored in the Plague Islands. Captain Rhodes and the first mate warmly entertained them, and everyone had a banquet on the deck together, singing pirate songs and feeling very happy.
In the evening, there are evening parties held jointly by demons and humans in major cities. Monroe and Theresa arrived together, Alice and Theresa ran away, and Hill and Monroe watched June 1 in the Plague Islands together. party.
"Mediocre, it's okay." Hill said, "But it's enough to deal with human children."
"After all, you didn't do it." Monroe said, "The June 1 party you organized a few years ago, let alone children, even adults screamed with excitement."
"Then let me hear you yelling," Hill said.
Monroe glanced at him with a smile, "It's not good now, I'll call you elsewhere."
"Yeah - Monroe -"
After saying such a coquettish remark, Monroe said solemnly: "Watch the party."
"It's boring and boring." Hill said.
Monroe shook his head helplessly, "Okay. Shall we go outside to get some air?"
"Okay." Hill nodded.
Both were disguised so that others could not recognize them. The streets are very lively on the night of June 1st, with all kinds of toys, snacks on the street, fireworks in the sky, lively music, and clowns running around, giving free balloons to children.
Hill also took a balloon cheekily, and then saw the words Baker's business printed on the balloon.
Hill almost died laughing, okay, this is Joan Baker's handwriting, he is really trying his best to advertise himself.
"I went to the Dead Bird in the afternoon. Captain Rhodes is really old." Hill said.
"The bodies of necromancers age faster than ordinary people." Monroe said: "This is also a normal thing, but if they want, they can plunder the vitality of living people to continue their lives."
"Well, so Leona is still young forever," Hill said.
"Yes." Monroe nodded.
While chatting, they bought spark sticks, which are commonly known as cold fireworks.
"But Captain Rhodes probably won't do that. He will accept the fact that he is aging and the fate of dying soon." Hill said.
"The character of Captain Rhodes... is exactly the same," Monroe said.
The two walked into the woods at night with spark sticks. Hill sat down on a rock and sighed slowly: "He has nothing special to miss. His lover is dead, and his comrade-in-arms first mate is also dead." Already old, Leona, who had some ambiguous emotions with him, was very chic. She would not be so sad about his death, and would just drink an extra glass of wine for it. He himself understood the matter, and now his successor Karl He has grown into a qualified pirate captain, so he can leave this world naturally."
"You miss him a little bit," Monroe said.
"It's true that I'm reluctant, but there's nothing I can do about it. Who told us to be this kind of long-lived species?" Hill ignited the spark stick with magic, and said.
The spark rods started to burn, and the spark rods in the dark night were beautiful.
"It's not necessary to talk about this kind of thing on June 1," Monroe said.
"It's okay, it's a fact." Hill smiled at Monroe, and said, "Others keep leaving, but there are always people who are always by my side, and the comparison between the two proves the preciousness and beauty of each other. "
The spark sticks were burning in the dark night, and the beautiful glowing dandelions were constantly scattered. The slight rustling sound mixed with the smell of gunpowder made people's hearts tickle.
The surrounding night was too dark, and the wind rustled through the trees.
"Happy Children's Day, Monroe. Today we are all children, so we can make the childish promise of children-Lagou, to be together forever."
"Well, Lagou, we want to be together forever."
Touching fingers.
A cool feeling spread in my heart.
Spark sticks rustled.
Countless bright forked little stars scattered in the sky.
The slight hustle and bustle is beautiful.
"And there is..."
Monroe's hand directly covered the only light source, followed by a deep kiss.
"Okay, twelve o'clock has passed, Children's Day has passed, it's time for us to do some adult things."
With five fingers together, the sparks went out.
— but a fiery flame burst out from the bottom of my heart.
