Old Jackson was indeed impeached, and his political opponents sued Emperor Yulan that he had tipped off with Joan and Baker. Emperor Yulan was very dissatisfied with this, because old Jackson had done similar things before—in order to protect some innocent people, he had also tipped off those people behind the back of Emperor Yulan.
"What do you mean? Old Jackson." Emperor Yulan asked sternly.
But Old Jackson said calmly, "Your Majesty, I'm just sharing your worries."
"Give me an explanation." Emperor Yulan said coldly.
Old Jackson's political opponents certainly gloated at this scene.
"I went to find Baker, and then I saw the demons behind him, and I learned that Mr. Greenwald is actually a prince from the lower realm." Old Jackson said.
As soon as these words were uttered, most people's faces changed. Emperor Yulan thought that it was very dangerous, but luckily I didn't attack Joan and Baker. Oh yes, Emperor Yulan was already intimidated in his heart, but as an emperor, he couldn’t admit it on the surface, so he said in a majestic (at least he thought he was majestic, but in fact it sounds a bit kidney-deficit in fact) voice: " Duke Jackson, are you afraid because of the identity of the demon standing behind Baker? Do you think I should be afraid too?"
"How come!" Old Jackson showed a shocked expression with exaggerated acting skills, and then said with reverence: "We humans are the strongest race, and you are the emperor of the most powerful empire among the most powerful races. I should be afraid of you!"
The surrounding ministers all twitched and looked at Old Jackson with hellish looks.
The other party... what's wrong? Why did you suddenly start flattering? Is this a hangover from meeting the devil? He was taken away
Jackson, on the other hand, turned a blind eye to everyone's gaze and stood there calmly.
The ideas of other people are actually correct to some extent. The transformation of old Jackson is indeed related to Hill, and also related to the "A Song of Ice and Fire" he is currently studying.
In addition, one more thing happened.
When the old Jackson met Hill, Hill said pointedly: "A loyal minister is not necessarily a good minister. A good minister should be able to use various means to make his monarch move in the right direction."
Old Jackson then had an epiphany.
So he put his old face aside, and started... flattering.
So far, a generation of loyal ministers has become a courtier (hey
Emperor Yulan actually underestimated what happened to old Jackson, which was a bit over the top.
This is also the old Jackson who just started to learn to flatter, so he is a bit out of control. It will be fine in the future.
But even if it's the wrong size, it's better than poking him all the time. Emperor Yulan thought so.
Then old Jackson continued: "I have a plan, Your Majesty."
Then the old Jackson said that the lower bound can cross the Eutin Empire and directly pay our Yulan Empire an installment payment, on the condition that we need to resist the pressure from the church together... "Anyway, the magic spar has already entered our pockets by then, the church They won’t force us to hand it over.”
Emperor Yulan also thought it was very good when he heard it, and he thought more about it, so what if the Guangming Church is dissatisfied? Can the Eutin Empire send troops to attack them? But the Eutin Empire seems to respect the Yulan Empire so much, so it probably won't.
I have to say that Emperor Yulan thought too much.
He didn't realize that people who really respected him, but he was particularly fond of those who pretended to respect him.
When Emperor Yulan was delighted to have a large number of magic crystals, the old Jackson mentioned lightly that in order to make the second season of "Natsume's Book of Friends" play smoothly, a magic circle needs to be carved under the shopping mall, and several wizards from the empire are needed I hope His Majesty will allow me to mobilize a few imperial mages.
Old Jackson said this very cleverly, as if engraving a magic circle was an irrelevant matter. His purpose of reporting this was to mobilize a few imperial mages.
Emperor Yulan was indeed misled, and when he heard that it was the second season of "Natsume's Book of Friends", he couldn't help but agree immediately.
Emperor Yulan liked this anime very much. He also asked Duke Jackson, "Do you think Natsume will be with a bunch of female demons in the future and marry them? Some female demons are really pretty... you say I If you want to meet two female demons, can you? Can you talk to the prince of the lower world?"
Old Jackson was speechless, but he still said, "I will tell him."
—The succubi in charge of livestock breeding will be quite eager to move, and look forward to Emperor Yulan taking them out of the sea of suffering.
—Your Majesty, you don’t know that in the past, the devil actually forced us to let the sows go into heat.
— This picture must be beautiful.

At this moment, the lower bound.
Speaking of this infrastructure, the most basic ones are roads and houses.
Hill researched for a long time, and finally found the black dwarves.
The black dwarves live in the dark forest. In the past, the dark forest was once called the sunny forest. It was a beautiful forest with pleasant scenery. Later, a catastrophe was caused by the abuse of spells by the lich. Now it is full of mutated monsters and polluted people. soul. There are huge white spider webs everywhere in the forest, colorful moths flying around, and some withered fruits covered with green hairs.
Later, a powerful fallen angel lived here, he killed the lich, and established a good relationship with the black dwarf who lived here for a long time.
The main purpose of Hill's coming to find the black dwarves is to let them design some infrastructure facilities and means of transportation.
As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. Establishing a complete transportation network in the lower realm is an indispensable part of developing the lower realm. Hill also planned to let the dwarves make a train directly-the technical content of the train is actually not very high.
The ghost Bins has been drawing magic circles in Magnolia City recently, so he can't spare a hand. In fact, Bins may not be professional in designing such machines. It would be best to find a dwarf who is good at mechanical manufacturing to complete this work something happened.
After hearing that Lord Demon King is interested in machinery, the patriarch of the black dwarves excitedly took Hill to see some of their latest research results. Fast and slow and easy to hit the wall; for example, the sweeping robot, the disadvantage is that it may chase your feet madly... In short, all kinds of weird inventions and weird side effects. Hill remembered that in the twentieth century on earth, someone had invented a midwifery machine, which used centrifugal force to assist in childbirth... oh yes, it would spin the pregnant woman until the baby was... was... thrown out.
And this wonderful machine has also obtained a patent.
The first reaction in Hill's mind at the time was: I'm going, it really is an obstetrics dump!
But now that I think about it... um... President, Madam has been spinning the fan at high speed for three hours, and the baby has been delivered smoothly.
cough. In other words, they may have misunderstood the president in the previous article, maybe he was following the example of his predecessors to midwife his wife (hey.
One thing to say, Hill also learned from it that the black dwarves do have two brushes, and the things they made can be used after improvement. After thinking about it, he decided to let the black dwarves also become a part of the Nether Research Academy. Elements, and then let other theoretical leaders of the scientific research institute solve their follow-up problems. —The magic literacy of the black dwarves is relatively low, so the created things cannot be adjusted with magic.
Finally, the black dwarf patriarch proudly showed Hill a musket, which was their latest research result.
However, this kind of powerful weapon among ordinary people has some weak points in the high-level demons, but if the musket is improved into a magic gun, and then powered by magic spar, there may be a new transformation. Hill accepted the musket after praising the dwarf patriarch, and planned to hand it over to the ghost Bins for him to improve.
After visiting the research of the black dwarves, Hill came up with the concept of the train. The patriarch of the black dwarves nodded frequently, and finally he said: "My king, your idea is very great. In this way, the efficiency of material transportation in the lower realm will be greatly improved, but in this way we lack magic crystals..."
Hill shook his head, "Many of your inventions don't use magic spar, right?"
"Yes." The black dwarf patriarch said.
"The development of magic technology and the development of technology in non-magic fields are the same thing. You are dwarves, and dwarves are not good at magic, but are good at doing things in various non-magic fields... Why do you still use magic to solve power first in your current thinking? What's the problem?" Hill asked.
The patriarch of the black dwarf seemed to understand a little bit, but he still had some doubts, "I understand, my king, I will study it with other dwarf brothers, although I am still a little confused about the new power... Maybe we can use gunpowder? "
"Cough, I don't suggest you do that." Hill coughed, and then he said, "First, you need to know a term: steam engine."
Then, Hill began to popularize knowledge about steam engines to the patriarch of the black dwarves, all of which did not require Baidu.
02．
Half an hour later, the black dwarf patriarch was already fanatical.
Because the patriarch himself fell into extreme emotions, the dinner party for the Demon King had to be organized by the elders.
The black dwarves have their own cultural traditions and eating habits, and Hill feels that their food is much better than other races in the lower realm. Dwarves like to gorge on meat and drink.
By the way, there are two major races of dwarves in the lower world. The first is the dark dwarves who live in the dark forest, and the second is the snow mountain dwarves who live in the snow mountains—they hollowed out the inside of a snow mountain. Made their own city out of steel and magic.
Because the dark forest is relatively humid, the dwarves especially like spices such as chili and pepper, and Hill happens to like it a lot, so he also tasted a feast of different world flavors. Although it is not as exquisite and delicious as the one made by the fire elemental spirit, it has a special flavor.
They held a banquet in the dark forest camp, surrounded by an uneasy darkness, and something seemed to be surging and growing in the darkness. There are bonfires and torches in the camp. The firewood is beeping, and the bright flames are like red stars when they fly into the sky. The buildings in the camp are mainly tents, and there are also RVs with wheels that can be moved. It is convenient for these black dwarves to migrate.
It is also a very wonderful feeling to hold a banquet with the lively black dwarves in such an environment.
Hill also asked Irwin to cook a few dishes, among which the most popular among the black dwarves was roasted pork chops with beer, white-spotted wild boar raised by tauren and succubus, the wild boar ribs were sprinkled with salt and pepper and roasted slowly for a long time, and then Then use oil, onion, garlic, curry sauce and other ingredients to stir-fry + boil to make a fragrant sauce, and then spread the sauce repeatedly on the grilled pork chops, and it will take several hours to be completely cooked.
After the meal, the pork chops are cut open, the outside is roasted golden yellow, the sauce on top is dark, and the sauce is evenly spread on the surface of the pork chops, it is very tempting to look at, plus the overwhelming taste The scent that came made everyone move their index fingers.
Hill took a bite after inserting a piece with a fork, the gravy gushed out and mixed with the rich flavor of the sauce, making the saliva secrete even faster, it was really delicious in the world.
The dwarves were very excited. While drinking, they sang their songs in the dwarven language. In fact, the lyrics and tunes were similar to "Unity is strength" and "Iron workers are strong". They sang loudly and drank ale, glass after glass. In the end, they all staggered and passed out drunk.
Hill felt himself infected by their enthusiasm.
He suddenly realized that traveling to this different world, communicating with various races, experiencing their cultures, seeing some scenery that he had never seen before, and getting to know some people... This feeling is also very good.
Then Hill and the black dwarf elders talked about their inventions. Hill cited the terrible midwifery device as an example, meaning that he hoped that the black dwarfs would be closer to reality when they made inventions. As a result, the elder pondered for a moment and said, "This is really a genius invention!"
Hill:? ?
Elder Black Dwarf: "Moreover, it can take advantage of the dizziness of pregnant women to relieve the pain of childbirth! Multiple actions!"
Hill:? ?
Elder Black Dwarf: "Tomorrow, I will make this instrument with my brothers, and then use it for dwarf women!"
Hill: "..."
Hill: "...please don't do that."
Nima. Your whole racial thinking is wrong!
It seems that there is still a long way to go on this road of adjustment/teaching.
