"The Domineering Demon King Falls in Love with Me", wrap-up banquet.
The wrap-up banquet was held in the gathering place of ghosts. This town was named Deathknell Town by Hill. It is the birthplace of ghosts in World of Warcraft. The mayor happily accepted this name and said that this name is really romantic. And full of hope.
The romance is understandable, this one is hopeful...well... Hill somewhat begs to disagree. But if people like it, so be it.
There was an aura of death in the town, and a gray-purple mist floated inside, even the sky turned dark purple. The gate of the town was made of black iron, with some dark green vines clinging to it, some of which were already dead, swaying dryly in the wind. The fence next to it has sharp edges and corners, and it looks surprisingly strong.
The wrap-up feast took place in the garden behind Deathstroke, where white roses bloomed, there was a faint smell of elderberry, and the fresh grass rolled with dew. Clusters of blue will-o’-the-wisps floated in the garden, the vampires played the piano, the fallen angels joined forces with the harp; Some; the Cerberus shook off the flames from its body and came up to Hill, wagging its tail flatteringly, and Hill casually stroked its shiny fur.
The scene in front of them was quite magical, and the paladins were a little restless.
Hill poked the will-o'-the-wisp with his hand, smiled and said to the dark elf Albrecht Dark Moon next to him: "This cold light looks pretty good in this atmosphere."
Irwin next to him exploded when he heard it—of course it was the explosion in the literal sense. His body was divided into small clusters of golden flames, squeezing the will-o’-the-wisps aside, and then the black iron candlestick next to Hill Erwen's voice appeared on the screen: "What about this hot light? My king~"
Hill laughed, this way of fighting for favor is a bit cute.
The banquet table was woven from vines, covered with large fragrant leaves. Besides the dishes, there were also some strangely shaped skulls with flames burning inside—this was the candlestick of the ghost family.
The dishes at the celebration banquet are of course the most important, and this time it is unprecedentedly rich. Cheese bread, ice cream poured with strawberry juice, fruit pie, cherry pie, clam chowder, and golden fish, sprinkled with green herbs, exuding a tantalizing aroma...
There is also a dish created by Hill: in the forest next to the endless sea, there is a huge fruit tree. The fruit is very large, bigger than a coconut, and its shape is similar. The pulp is sweet and sour, and the taste is somewhat It's light, and it feels normal if you eat it directly. Hill hollowed out part of the pulp inside, then stuffed the marinated chicken and beef in, added some spices, covered it with the excavated pulp, and finally baked it repeatedly in Erwin's body (… ) . The method is a bit similar to pineapple rice, and Hill also got inspiration from pineapple rice. Open the shell of the fruit after it is out of the oven, and the wonderful aroma will come out immediately. The meat taste is delicious, and it is perfectly combined with the fragrance of the fruit itself. Let the whole person feel comfortable.
Hill hasn't brewed wine yet, so the wine in the drink is from the lower realm or purchased from the human world. Compared with the rather rough wine, the fruit juice made by Hill himself is much better.
It would be great if there was yogurt, fruit yogurt or something... Hill took a sip of coconut juice and thought.
Sure enough, the problem of milk must be solved first. In fact, all kinds of meat should be solved quickly, so that the lower realm can develop farming and animal husbandry. What kind of life is the demons living like this. He sighed.
After thinking of this, Hill thought about opening a restaurant in the human world, and he couldn't let Erwin become a chef in the past, so he said to the candlestick at hand: "I want to open a restaurant in the human world, do you have any ideas about the chef? "
"Are you referring to other fire elemental spirits? My king." A small cluster of flames floated over, and then quickly grew, and Erwin appeared in the flames.
Hill knew about the fire elemental elves before, and there are indeed a few in the lower realm, but the natural elemental elves are quite free. They have no gender, are not subject to any constraints, and basically do not work under any force. Even if the five elders make a move, they may not be able to keep them - they run too fast.
Unless Hill personally shot.
"Of course it's fine if it's a fire elemental elf." At least that's true in terms of controlling the fire, but there's nothing in the lower realm to impress them now. Hill thought for a while, "What do you think?"
"I know some fire elemental elves, and I can convince them," Erwin said.
"How?" Hill asked.
"Cook them a dish, and tell them that they can always cook such delicious dishes in the future." Erwin continued, "Then the dish will convince them."
Hill: "Cough..."
He remembered a joke he saw on Earth, and asked: How to convince parents to let him keep a cat? Answer: Bring one cat home first, and the rest will do it on their own.
"Are you sure?" Hill asked.
"This is the supreme temptation, the real temptation from you, Lord Demon King. No fire elemental elf can refuse this kind of temptation." Erwen said in a deep voice.
"Okay... That's fine." Hill still wanted to laugh a little, but he said seriously: "Then I'll leave this matter to you, Ervin."
"Okay, my king, I will definitely live up to my trust." Erwen knelt on one knee and said.

On the eve of the release of "The Overbearing Demon King Falls in Love with Me", there was a new trend in Magnolia City, and the source of this trend was Hill's magazine.
Before the magazine came out, Magnolia City and Josh Kenny had formed a kind of "Daughter of the Sea" effect, as long as anything related to that, it would sell very quickly once it was released. Of course, some other businessmen have also seized the business opportunity, and they have also made some peripherals to sell-on earth, this is piracy. However, there is no such thing as property rights protection in the other world, so if Joan Baker is a fairly decent businessman, there is really nothing he can do about them.
Too bad he's not a decent businessman.
It's a good thing he's not a decent businessman.
In other words, in such an era, decent businessmen can't survive, and the last ones left are typical guys like Joan Baker-even a guy who has plated himself a title.
He wasn't exactly that bad guy though, and certainly not a good guy either.
So those big pirate manufacturers disappeared one by one in the gray means of Joan Baker.
Joan Baker spends an hour walking the streets every afternoon, listening to what people are saying and seeing what they are doing. He thinks this is very important for a businessman. In the words of that Mr. Greenwald, this is called "market research". Mr. Greenwald is really a very intelligent person. Although he occasionally behaves a little off-line on weekdays, Joan Baker believes that, That was his disguise.
Hmm... In fact, Hill himself thinks that being offline is the essence, and wisdom is the pretense.
On this day, he heard many people on the street talking about the contents of the magazine.
That book was called "Magazine". Hill was a bit useless to name it, and couldn't think of a suitable name for a while. It seemed too blatant to call it "Monthly Magazine of the Demon King". Hill still wanted to spread the magazine further. So he simply called it "Magazine" first.
The most talked about is of course "The Daughter of the Sea", after all, there is the effect of "The Daughter of the Sea". Of course, Joan Baker had read the contents of the magazine, and even he, who had never been interested in such things, had a yearning for the writer named Andersen.
"Will there really be a Thumbelina?"
There came two ladies with parasols, and the sound of their conversation wafted into Joan Baker's ears.
Joan Baker nodded. This was about Thumbelina.
"There should be, but it should also be Demon Race."
"Such a cute and beautiful Thumbelina, so she is from the Demon Race."
"The siren princess is also a demon, my dear. It is not the race that is ugly, but the individual—like that human prince, God of Light, he really deserves to fall into the sea and drown."
"Yes. But Thumbelina is really weak. She was stolen by a toad at first. I thought that the demons were at least stronger than ordinary humans."
"The demons are not as powerful as humans, otherwise how could they lose in the war?"
"Speaking of which, why do you want to fight the demons?"
"Who knows..."
Joan Baker was a little shocked listening to such a chat. He had a vague grasp of something in his heart, but he didn't grasp it very clearly. What he can see is that the public's attitude towards the demons is changing, and some people even start to have a skeptical attitude towards war...
But, presumably it doesn't matter, right? Joan Baker thought uncertainly.
He has also watched the movie "The Daughter of the Sea", and he admits that it is a very poignant story, but it is not so touching. The people who are obsessed with "The Daughter of the Sea" now are probably some ladies, and it will not play a role. What a big role it is, men may not be very interested in this kind of subject... Joan Baker thought uncertainly in his heart.
Then he heard a man on the street over there yelling, "Ariel is really miserable, woo woo woo... I'll kill the prince!!!"
Joan Baker suddenly felt hot on his face.
But recently there is an interesting incident. In "Thumbelina", it is said that Thumbelina was born from the red flowers grown from the barley grains given by a demon, so some people took the barley grains and sold them outside, saying that this is The kind of flower seeds that can grow Thumbelina, and many people still believe it.
When Joan Baker submitted this matter to Hill, Hill almost laughed and cried. What is this? ?), a 360,000, and someone actually bought it, the seller sent an empty box to it, and then claimed that it was a 6 baby (the kind that can be invisible). At the time, it was said that there was still a lawsuit because of this, and Hill wondered how the judge and lawyer could not hold back their laughter.
Then on the next batch of magazines, he had to print that Thumbelina seeds, which had been sold recently, were a hoax.
To Hill's surprise, according to Joan Baker's report, quite a lot of people were attracted by the first chapter of "A Song of Ice and Fire", or quite a lot of people were frightened by the first chapter, after all The first chapter is about several night watchmen being killed by the white ghosts. The most terrifying thing is that one of the dead night watchmen came back from the dead and strangled a colleague.
This is the first time this kind of terrifying description has appeared in a different world. Many people were frightened directly. After being frightened, they began to look forward to what happened next. After all, there is still an unfinished story to be continued. of.
Under such complicated circumstances, "The Overbearing Demon King Falls in Love with Me" is finally released.
