01.
In the end, Hill reached an agreement with Jackson Sr.
Old Jackson left Joan and Baker's mansion with a satisfied expression on his face. Hill looked at his back and touched his chin and said, "Duke Jackson came in and out of your house so grandly... Is that okay?" Hill said While speaking, he casually put all the remaining desserts on the table into his mouth, such as cheesecake, orange and black currant cake, strawberry cheesecake and apple crisp... Then he calmly poured the remaining juice into his cup inside.
"Compared to old Jackson, you seem to be more dignified." Joan and Baker couldn't help but said as they watched Hill completely treat this place as their own home. He couldn't help thinking... Are he and him so familiar now
"It's different. My relationship with you is justifiable." Hill said seriously, "We are married to a media outlet... Bah... Everyone knows that we are in a cooperative relationship, but old Jackson is different."
"You mean that the king just planned to attack me, and then Duke Jackson came in and out of my house-this will become the basis for Duke Jackson to be attacked in the political arena?" Joan and Baker asked.
"Yes, and the satisfied expression on his face may even remind people that you have made such an improper transaction that he wants to protect you in court..." Hill continued to talk, just now he almost Blunted out that py traded, it was very dangerous.
"Trust me," Joan Baker said blankly, "No one would think so except you, Your Highness Greenwald."
"That's such a pity." Hill looked disgusted, "You humans really have no imagination."
"You demons have too much imagination." Joan and Baker countered.
"So we created movies." Hill said cheekily. After he finished speaking, he was a little uncomfortable, feeling that his words were really sanctimonious... Then he continued to ask confidently: "What did you create? Your thoughts are still After being shackled by imperial power, personal desires, and church norms, you can’t break these shackles, what will welcome the future of mankind, have you ever thought about it?”
Joan Baker glanced at him, and said unhurriedly: "Your Highness Greenwald, you don't have to test me so habitually, you should know that I am a person who sells my soul for profit... and so far I have not been very serious about it. Very proud. And you are also helping humanity break these shackles, aren't you?"
Hill understood that each of these people's hearts were like mirrors.
"I don't think about anything, I want to make money," he said.
"Of course," Joan Baker said, "my goal is to make more money, too."
The two of them looked at each other for a few seconds after being hypocritical. Joan and Baker spoke after deliberation: "So, Duke Jackson will become your important collaborator in the future."
"Well," Hill said, "I hope you have a good time with him."
"Smart people always get along with smart people," says Joan Baker.
"Well... so I have a good time getting along with you." Hill said.
Joan and Baker were stalked by Hill. He felt that Hill seemed to be getting more and more free recently... Well, I can also use "chic" to describe it.
"The resources of the Jackson family are better than mine." Joan Baker continued.
"Oh. Yeah, that's it," Hill said. "You're worried that I'll dump you."
Joan Baker didn't deny it: "I'm just stating objective facts."
At this time has come to autumn, the weather cool down.
Like the Lower Realm, Yulan City has also entered the rainy season, but the autumn rain is not heavy, but it is quite dense, and after half a month of being underground like this intermittently, there is no sign that it will clear up at all. Looking out from the window, under the dim light of the kerosene lamp, there seemed to be small clouds of soft mist floating under the lamp, which looked quite beautiful.
Autumn rain, night, noble mansion.
The firewood crackled in the fireplace, and the orange-red flames glowed softly and warmly.
The fireplace will always give people a warm feeling, and it will give people a sense of warmth and belonging, especially on such a slightly cold night.
Hill felt as if he was moved by the environment in front of him.
To be honest, he didn't see himself as a complete demon in isolation, but he didn't see himself as a human being either. In fact, Hill also found that he seemed to be calmer and colder than before, but he couldn't judge whether this was the effect of time travel, after all, he didn't have the opportunity to kill people at will in the past.
He didn't struggle with it, he didn't think it was necessary, and he was not a philosopher. It's a good thing not to forget your original intention, but you can't force it blindly. Hill feels that everything is in motion and development, and it is not necessarily a bad thing if one's own thinking changes. Generally speaking, it may be more in line with the current situation.
Therefore, when he has an idea now, he will not deliberately judge whether it is right or wrong, just do it if he wants to.
Just like now, after he was moved by the warm scene in front of him, he also wanted to move Joan and Baker on the opposite side, so he opened his mouth and said seriously: "Old Jackson is an important partner, but you are the first Partner."
Joan and Baker froze for a moment, but did not reply immediately. He looked at the night rain outside for a while, and the kerosene lamps glowing in the night rain, and it took a long time before he responded, "Yeah." Then he felt that his emotions seemed to be showing too much, so he said: "You This is "Natsume's Book of Friends", have you watched too much?"
Hill smiled, "I think you too have watched "Natsume's Book of Friends" too much." Then he said in a seductive tone, "I'm almost done with the second season, do you want to watch it?"
Joan Baker: ...
The cunning businessman found himself shamefully shaken.
02．
After Hill returned to the Lower Realm, he didn't pay attention to the affairs of the Yulan Empire for the time being. He and old Jackson had already communicated some details clearly last night. As long as Emperor Yulan didn't suddenly become wise, then there would be no big problem with the plan. ... I always feel that saying this seems a bit ironic.
How ridiculous can a country's policies go? During the fires in Australia, the authorities planned to shoot 10,000 camels because they drank too much water and emitted a lot of carbon dioxide every year, and the methane content in their farts every year indirectly caused global warming.
After seeing it at the time, Hill really had a black question mark on his face.
But later he learned that camels are indeed an invasive alien species, but he was still entertained by the fact that camel farting caused global warming.
But this time, Hill was fortunate enough to be the beneficiary of the corrupt regime.
He sent Phantom Bins over to draw the magic circle, and the magic circle would take more than a month to complete, after all, it was a very large magic circle.
Hill planned to take a break. During this period of time, he was using his brain crazily. First, he worked on the first season of Natsume's Book of Friends all by himself. Then he made such a shocking plan with old Jackson, and then he worked with the ghost Binns to make the magic Array to study out. So he directly became the hands-off shopkeeper, and ran to the territory of the dark elves alone, planning to stay for a week as a vacation.
During this time, he and several dark elves tried to make wine.
Hill found that the wine made by the dark elves is better than the wine made by humans. They have a traditional ice wine. They use magic to keep the grapes on the vines until the winter comes. The water is frozen, and then the juice is squeezed and brewed, and the taste is quite charming.
Hill made some improvements with modern winemaking techniques, but the cycle of ice wine is relatively long, so Hill made ordinary wine first. And Hill asked the blood race to use their innate magic to pick up a piece of moonlight and pour it into the wine—the moon and the sun themselves are magical existences. Magic creates resistance.
Modern winemaking technology, coupled with the moonlight injected by the blood clan, the final wine produced is bright in color, with a strong fruity aroma and a quiet aroma,
In addition to wine, Hill has also tried to brew other fruit wines. In fact, he has always been interested in Japanese plum wine, but he couldn't find greengage or substitute fruits here, so Hill had to give up.
Then there's the mead. Honey wine is also called sweet wine, but it is actually honey wine, and the raw materials are all kinds of honey. Hill likes mead very much on Earth. It is aromatic and mellow, retains and even enhances the original nutrition of honey. It is a very good health drink, and it is sweet and delicious, quite delicious.
The daily method of making honey wine is very simple. Pour honey into a container that can be kept warm, then pour an equal amount of warm water, stir to mix them evenly, and then wait for the honey water to cool down naturally to about 25 degrees Celsius, add distiller's yeast and stir. Then seal the container and keep it warm for fermentation. OJBK is ready. It was almost done in seven days.
The production method is so simple, so the requirements for raw materials are even higher.
The honey produced by the flame bees in the lower realm is more fragrant and sweeter than that in the human realm, and the water used to brew the mead is also taken from the alpine spring water in the habitat of the dark elves. The spring water here is quite clear and the magic elements are active. Drinking it directly can restore mana quickly, and the honey wine brewed with it naturally has additional effects.
By the way, the skeleton family kept the flame bees very well... In fact, they raised them so well that there were too many flame bees in that area, and the skeletons had to keep expanding their scale and increasing their workload.
In other words, honey production in the Nether increases rapidly.
Hill was naturally happy to see the results, and then directly dug up a bunch of honey products from the Internet, intending to quickly turn honey into commercial products, and then sell them.
After successfully making a can of condensed honey citron tea, Hill inhaled the flavor first, and then suddenly thought, wait, didn't I go on vacation? Why are you busy again
... Sure enough, I still can't take it easy.
He shook his head and sighed.
Recently, a large number of honey-related products have been put on the shelves in general shopping malls. The prices are quite high, and it is also noted that it will have a positive impact on the magic power, and the sales are also very fast.
Hill decided to go for a field trip by himself, and then he saw a ragged little boy outside the shopping mall looking enviously inside. Hill walked over with great kindness. The little boy said that he had wanted to eat the food inside for a long time. Hill thought about it and gave him a small bottle of mead.
The little boy's eyes lit up after taking a sip, "This is wine... Wow, it tastes so good! It's the best wine I've ever had! What's it made of!"
"Honey," Hill replied.
"Honey..." The little boy had a dazed expression. Honey was still a luxury among nobles in this era.
Hill thought for a while, since he has done so many good things today, he should continue to popularize science with kindness, so he replied: "Honey is the secretion of nectar and bees."
little boy:… …
The little boy felt deeply hurt.
Joan and Baker, who had just drank mead next to Hill, suddenly felt itchy in their throats.
God is so kind.
You are the devil itself.
However, Hill felt quite innocent: What I said is the truth~
