"My queen didn't die of illness, at least it wasn't her who was sick, but the empire controlled by the Church of Light!"
This is a very touching sentence, and this is also a very touching man.
Hill saw the pain and determination in his eyes, these are real, not staged.
At this time they were standing on the hillside, there was a river below the hill, and the city was on the other side of the river, with faint lights. From here the city on the other side of the river seemed as far away as the stars in the sky.
The dark elf Albrecht stood behind Hill like a statue, holding a black iron wind lamp with a light blue lampshade, the fuel inside was mixed with some sawdust, and it gave off a fresh rosin after burning.
After all, it is summer, and there are many mosquitoes flying around outside the wind lantern, making the lights flicker.
"Your Majesty the Demon King, I really love her very much." King Oitin said, looking directly into Hill's eyes seriously.
"I can feel it." Hill said, he could really feel the intense emotion of King Eutin.
"But the Pope, unexpectedly..." King Eutin clenched his fists, "Your Majesty the Demon King, can you help me?"
"How do you want me to help you?" Hill asked.
"I can cooperate with you from the inside out to break the Church of Light in one fell swoop." King Eutin said, "I've been thinking about this for a while."
The sky was dim, and the shadow of the bridge across the river could be seen in a darker color. It seems that a giant beast is lying on the river, staring at it for a long time will cause hallucinations, as if it is moving. Hill stared at the bridge for a while, he didn't need to continue to look at King Eutin, because he had already judged that the other's expression was impeccable.
Everything is logical. First, the news of the queen's death was confirmed from Emperor Yulan and the Lich Algali. Then the Pope of Light learned what he had done. Then he learned more from the king. Finally, It is also very normal to propose internal and external cooperation and agree.
Hill stared at the bridge in the night, and finally said: "I'll go back and think about it."
King Eutin showed an obvious disappointed expression, and he did not restrain himself: "Yes, it is only natural for you to doubt. I have no other way, but if there is any other way, I will not want to go with you. The Demon King cooperated."
That's true from the other side's point of view. Hill understands.
"However, I believe you can make a correct judgment. After all, you are the devil king, and I am only a human being." King Eutin said.
It is indeed impossible to deceive the devil king with a human body... The credibility has increased a little.
"Well, I'd better come to contact you after I make up my mind." Hill said, he didn't show any extra expressions at this time, there was no surprise or indifference, he just said that. Then he walked down the mountain: "Let's go, Al."
Albrecht nodded to King Eutin as farewell, and then left with Hill holding the lantern.
At this time the night was darker.

Hill did not stay in the Eutin Empire, and left after attending the queen's funeral. Then go all the way to the northwest, the destination is Famagusta, the Dark Holy See.
As soon as he left the territory of the Eutin Empire, the dark elf Albrecht couldn't wait to ask: "My king, my king, what do you think?"
"What do you think?" Hill asked back. This guy looks calm and calm like a background board in the Eutin Empire, but in fact he is very itchy in his heart.
"I think the credibility is very high." After Albrecht finished speaking, he said his own reasoning. Hill corrected some of them, and Albrecht nodded frequently: "After your analysis, , I feel that the credibility is higher than I thought!"
"What about thinking in reverse?" Hill asked the second question.
"If you think about it the other way around, if this is the conspiracy of the Pope of Light, then he deliberately killed the queen to facilitate this meeting, then the king... But the grief of the king seems to be real, so he wants to bring the demons and King Oitin together Catch them all? But isn’t this too greedy? No matter how the king is a puppet, he is still the recognized king of the Eutin Empire.” Albrecht said, “And he doesn’t worry that we will really unite with the king to kill him. A wave?"
"Yeah." Hill nodded, "And then?"
"Unless the king also has problems." Albrecht scratched his head, "Ah, human beings' thinking is so complicated, it makes my head hurt."
"Don't worry, think slowly." Hill said, "Anyway, it will be a while before I go back."
The speed of this road is not fast, stop and go, look at the natural scenery along the way, observe the customs and customs along the way, of course, it is inevitable to walk and eat all the way.
Because Erwin was not with him, Hill cooked the food himself. Albrecht was so happy that he almost flew into the sky. After returning to the Demon Realm, he showed off and was dragged into an alley by other elders and beat him up. show off. 'Even if I were killed and my feathers were rotting in the dirt, I would roar out boastful words with a hoarse voice. '
Oh, by the way, Albrecht really showed off this thing for a whole year, until this winter, Hill overheard him showing off to other elders... also drunk.
There are limited seasonings on the road, but they can also be picked on the spot.
The ingredients in the human world are somewhat different from those in the demon world, but they are delicious enough compared to those on Earth.
The blue sky does not look clear, but has the texture of a canvas like the blue in a watercolor painting, and the clouds are also light and faint. If the sun is stronger, it feels that the clouds can be illuminated to reveal the light blue.
Albrecht returned to the camp with four freshly caught fish. Hill didn't know what kind of fish they were, but when he cut them open and looked at the thick belly fat, he knew that they must taste good. I took one to make fish soup first, and roasted the rest directly.
The delicious and rich fish soup is very appetizing. Hill did not use too many seasonings, except for the necessary salt, only put some seasoning herbs, which makes the fish soup taste delicious and original ecology. The faint fragrance lingers on the tip of the tongue and in the mouth, and it will not go away for a long time, with endless aftertaste.
Compared with the light fish soup, grilled fish brings a bursting pleasure. The grilled crispy fish skin is rich in collagen, and it is smooth and delicious after chewing twice in the mouth. In addition, the light burnt aroma, meat aroma and spicy barbecue sauce aroma are mixed together to make the taste buds The bang, it can really occupy people's brains, leaving only one word in people's minds—delicious.
Hill and Albrecht ate delicious food over there, making the driver and other caravan people greedy. Someone tried to exchange it with gold coins, but was rejected.
Eating delicious food, blowing the breeze in late summer, and next to it are large clusters of conical stone flowers, which are commonly known as gypsophila. This kind of life is so peaceful, beautiful and comfortable.
"Well, do you understand?" Hill asked.
Albrecht is burying leftover bones in the ground, which is the habit of the dark elves. They think that in this way, the bones can be quickly decomposed by the land and become part of nature. After hearing Hill's question, Albrecht got up from the ground and said, "Anyway, I think King Eutin's proposal is very attractive."
"Yeah, it's really tempting." Hill said with emotion.
03.
It's the end of summer, but today's holy city is extraordinarily hot.
There was not even a cloud in the sky, and the sun shot straight down from the sky without hindrance, burning hotly on King Eutin's neck.
He was sitting in the cemetery, his complexion looked quite bad. He read the handwriting on the queen's tombstone over and over again, and two lines of tears suddenly flowed down.
But he was really expressionless at the moment.
Oh yes, he loved his queen, very much.
But he loves his empire and his own power more.
