01.
Irwin brought the fire elemental elves back to Blackrock Tower not long after. Hill was too busy to take care of them recently, so he continued to hand them over to Irvin to let the fire elementals go around and learn how to cook.
The fire elemental elves were a little unhappy at the devil's contempt, but they showed obvious excited expressions when they heard that they could use the seasonings and ingredients in the devil's treasury at will. Hill felt that they were too easy to guess, and then he thought about Erwin's straightforward thinking a lot, so he realized that this might be the characteristic of the elemental elves.
By far the most insidious and cunning thing Hill found were humans.
Meanwhile, filming of Hill's "He's a Dragon" has come to an end.
The succubus who played the heroine in the kissing scene screamed excitedly and passed out. Gormond was quite indifferent to this, and he recited it several times in his heart. His own desire to tear the lead actress to shreds.
There is a plot in the middle where the heroine takes off her clothes and puts medicine on her back. The hero can't help but say "You are so beautiful", and then he is ordered not to watch by the heroine. He asks blankly, "Why?"
"Why, don't you know?" The heroine's voice trembled with anger. Here, the succubus is actually trembling because of excitement→Master Gormond is so excited to see my body~ But it’s all trembling anyway, so Hill will let her go.
"I don't know." The hero said, "I can watch birds, why can't I watch you?"
This is actually used to reflect the innocence and ignorance of the male protagonist who is a dragon. As a result, Gormon couldn't help but complain after finishing his lines: "My king, is this a dirty joke?"
"What?" Hill didn't respond for a moment.
"...so why a bird?" Gormond continued.
Hill: "... poof."
Well, he directly copied the original lines, and Gormon felt that the line was quite subtle, and then he immediately changed it: "I can see the birds flying in the sky, and the fish swimming in the sea. The flowers blooming on the beach, why can't I see you?" This is more poetic. Hill thought.
After the last scene was filmed, everyone showed obvious happy expressions as Hill announced that he was "killing the film".
Making films was no easy task, especially when Hill started getting tougher on them. The pressure brought to them by the status of Demon King is self-evident.
The wrap-up feast was quite sumptuous, and this time it was made by the fire elemental elves. Hill simply invited a lot of patriarchs and elders from all tribes, and everyone ate a sumptuous meal together. Crispy-skinned roast duck, roasted goose with honey sauce, grilled five-spice chicken skewers, seaweed, milk bread, honey cake, eel pie, white sausage... In addition, there is golden wine brought from the human world. Most of the patriarchs have already tasted the devil's food, but there are also a few who are full of praise. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hill talked about how to promote these foods at the banquet, and then said, "But we can't always buy these things from the human world, we should produce them ourselves, so that all demons can live a life where they can eat whatever they want." Life.
The patriarch of the blood clan said: "This is very difficult, my king."
"I can solve it, as long as you listen to me carefully." Hill put the wine glass on the table and said lightly: "That's why I am your king."
This kind of combination of rigidity and softness is still very appropriate.
After the wrap-up banquet, Hill took Menoma non-stop to the human world to find Baker Joan, brought him a projection stone, and inspected the newly built comprehensive shopping mall.
Hill stood on the first floor of the empty shopping mall. He closed his eyes and began to think about the layout of the entire shopping mall. Then he opened his eyes, and began to speak in an orderly manner about what should be arranged here, what is next to it, a painting of Siren Princess is hung here, and a row of plants is placed here...
The young man who followed beside Joan Baker scribbled on the parchment.
Joan Baker listened carefully, and from time to time put forward a few opinions. His words were concise and his opinions were very pertinent, but it was Hill who made the final decision.
"That's all I can think of," Hill said.
Joan Baker glanced at the young man beside him: "Mike, have you written it all down?"
"Write it down, sir," Mike said.
Joan Baker nodded, "For now, I listen to you."
"You make it sound like there will be a day when you won't listen to me," Hill said.
"Because I do have dissatisfaction in my heart, even if I can pretend to be good on the surface and try to persuade me that I shouldn't be like this, I can't guarantee what will happen after a long time." Joan Baker said.
Hill was a little curious: "Are you threatening me?"
"No, Mr. Greenwald." Joan Baker has always had an attitude that is neither humble nor overbearing, "I'm just stating the facts. You may be a demon with a high status in the lower realm, even more noble than I imagined. But I'm not born to be a fool and just listen, maybe one day I will die on this, but wait until then."
"Is there anything more terrifying than death?" Hill asked.
"How should I put it?" Joan Baker replied after pondering for a while, "I love money, I love money very much, but what I love is what money can bring me, not money itself. If those things can't make me If life is better, if living is a very unpleasant thing, then death is nothing. But now I miss too many things, so I fear death."
"You're really a pretty calm human being," Hill said.
"Thank you for your compliment," Joan Baker replied.
They returned from the empty mall to Joan Baker's mansion, where the servants brought cheese and mulled wine. Although Hill basically doesn't touch the food here every time, Joan Baker asks the servant to bring it every time.
This time Hill drank some wine and said: "I hope to have the complex officially up and running within a week, and I will deliver new jewelry shipments in three days. The official opening will be in a week, and the premiere of "He is a Dragon" .”
Joan Baker looked down at the liquid in the cup and said, "Your words are in the same breath as assigning tasks to your subordinates."
"Sorry, I'm used to it," Hill continued.
Now he has become accustomed to the way he speaks. Even if he said "I hope" just now and now he says "sorry", there is no sincerity in it.
Joan Baker stared at him. "Mr. Greenwald."
"You'd better get used to it." Hill put down his wine glass, then he smiled and said, "I'm actually a very easy person to get along with, but I have to be a little more persistent in terms of cooperation... or rather, to be self-willed. After all, you know that, I'm not representing an individual."
They looked at each other for a few seconds, and Joan Baker lowered his eyes first, "I see."
Hill knew he gave in this time, but he didn't know what he would do next time.
Sure enough, working with smart people is a double-edged sword. he thought.
So just make it clear.
"I know that you sometimes have a grudge in your heart, because right now you don't have the slightest room to express yourself, and you are completely listening to all my orders. I also know that you have your own ideas, and you are very smart." Hill said.
"I don't deny it," said Joan Baker.
Hill continued: "But you have to endure now. I told you about my blueprint construction. If you do something on your own to make things deviate... To be honest, I may not be able to control the situation and continue to build My blueprint." Speaking of which, Hill smiled lightly, "After all, the demons are good at killing, not strategy."
"You're threatening," said Joan Baker.
"I'm stating the facts," Hill said.
The conversation is reversed.
Just now in the complex, Hill told Joan Baker that you were threatening, and Joan Baker said that he was stating the facts.
The current reversal is quite interesting.
Hill couldn't help laughing, and Joan Baker smiled slightly too.
They appreciate each other, but when it comes to their own interests, this appreciation is irrelevant.
"I don't want to break up with you. With you, I can save a lot of worry," Hill said truthfully: "But you know that you are not the only choice, and we don't have to each other. So, I think at this stage You should be patient and continue to listen to me. When you can’t bear it, you can tell me. We will sit down and discuss how to solve this problem. I'll find someone else."
The two looked at each other again.
Cold gray eyes meet red ones.
Joan Baker finally nodded: "Okay."
After a few seconds, he looked at Monroe who had been silent beside Hill: "Who is this?"
Hill nodded at Monroe, and Monroe said, "Monroe, former paladin."
Joan Baker finally showed an unexpected expression: "Human?"
"It used to be," Monroe said.
Joan Baker paused for a few seconds and said, "I remember a newspaper a month ago saying that a paladin in the Eutin Empire was burned to death because he was bewitched by a demon."
Hill couldn't help laughing, "Are you paying attention to this kind of news?"
Joan Baker replied truthfully: "Because I am worried that one day the news will say that a certain businessman was bewitched by a demon and burned to death."
"It's the Baron," Hill said.
"At that time, the empire will definitely strip me of my baronship, so I will still be a businessman." Joan Baker said.
Hill smiled again, "Indeed."
Joan Baker looked directly at Monroe and asked, "So, is that paladin you?"
"You are a smart person, very smart." Monroe said, he raised his head and smiled at Joan Baker, black mist seemed to roll in his red eyes, and then he said meaningfully: "So, What do you think?"
Joan Baker understood, and immediately said, "I don't think so, Mr. Monroe."
"Yeah." Monroe replied flatly.
Hill watched from the side, and felt that Monroe was really handsome.
Then Monroe said: "I think, you should have prepared a set of arguments. If people from the church come to the Yulan Empire to ask, you will directly betray us."
Joan Baker paused for a few seconds without denying it: "Yes, and that rhetoric is still being improved and changed."
Hill was amazed: "You actually said it so honestly."
"Because my 'betrayal' can't bring you much substantial loss." Joan Baker replied honestly: "I'm not qualified to really hurt you, so I will choose 'betrayal' to protect myself. "
"Very good." Hill nodded, "It's really good to cooperate with you."
Hill is telling the truth, if he can, he really wants to continue to cooperate with Joan Baker, and try to find various solutions before they really have conflicts.
"You're a very sensible man, too," said Joan Baker.
Another sentence that seems familiar.
Hill smiled and replied, "Because I don't care."
"oh?"
"Because I don't care about the human world, because I don't care about you, and because I don't care about the lives of every human being, so I am rational, peaceful, and tolerant of everything." Hill said.
Maybe the sage tolerates all people because of his noble character.
But Hill felt that he tolerated others because of his indifference.
Joan Baker froze.
Then Hill saw a hint of greed flashing in his cold gray eyes.
