It can be said that Magnolia City has been very lively recently.
In fact, every time a movie is released in the Demon World Mall, the entire Yulan City will be bustling with it for a few days. Then Hill will launch the peripheral products of the movie in due course, so that the excitement will continue. Issues of the magazine after the film also sold a bit higher than usual.
It's not the same recently. In addition to the routine bustle of "The Evil Monarch", the turmoil inside the Yulan Academy of Magic has also attracted the attention of many people.
The Yulan Academy of Magic is the best magic academy in the Yulan Empire. Every time the opening ceremony is held, people from Royal Louis will be present in person. Therefore, the turmoil in such an academy is naturally eye-catching.
As a result, everyone became speechless after paying attention. What is this? Professors collectively wear cosplay costumes to protest against the college not allowing them to go to the sea to film? Is everyone so high
The college professors in different worlds are naturally very different from the modern teachers on Earth. Some of them are honorary professors like the ghost Binns, who have a special status and enjoy a certain reputation; They are different: there are outstanding students who graduated, mercenaries who have washed their hands in gold bowls, and some people with military status. So it is really difficult to manage these teachers from different places in a unified way.
Those professors also have various personalities, and many times they come to class according to their own preferences. To put it simply, they are very willful, and many people don't have any airs to put it on. It's better to say that they are more willing to show their mavericks by being unrestrained. This is characteristic of many non-aristocrats who deal with the nobility all the year round.
However, in fact, there are very few professors who are really annoyed that the principal doesn't let them make movies. Most of the professors don't like being controlled like this, so they join the cosplay army, and the other part just follow suit.
So in summary, it is understandable for them to make this kind of collective behavior of wearing cosplay costumes to teach.
Many fans of the movie thought it was very interesting, and the students also thought it was amazing. This farce also narrowed the distance between students and teachers, which made more professors who are still interested in playing join in. row by row. The dean has a big head.
Oh yes, everyone in the empire thought it was an interesting farce, and it didn't have much impact, but it looked funny, and they could understand the psychology of the professors, so they didn't take it seriously.
Only a few caring people saw it in their eyes, Joan and Baker were the first, and old Jackson was the second.
It turns out that movies can already have such a substantial impact? Old Jackson sat reading the morning paper and thought.
Of course, Old Jackson also knew that those professors were not really angry about the movie, but he was still surprised that such an activity could be started in the largest magic academy in the Yulan Empire by taking advantage of the movie. The influence of the movie has reached the point where it can become some kind of opportunity.
Old Jackson touched the family ring on his hand. This was his habit. Whenever he did something wrong, he would touch the ring. Before that, when he flattered Emperor Yulan, he frantically touched his ring, which made Emperor Yulan Thought he was perverted... His father died young, he became a duke at the age of 14, and then had an 11-year-old fiancée. He was too young at the time to know how to treat his fiancée, and they married when she was 13, and she gave birth to Caesar for him at 17, and died giving birth to Lydia at 19 . It's hard to say whether they have ever had love, and it may have become a family relationship before the love happened. But he still remembered that he couldn't find her in the room after the wedding, and saw her on the balcony sitting on the window sill shaking her feet, eating a piece of cherry pie-"Your food in Magnolia City is better than that in Winter City It's so delicious!" She said to him with shining eyes at the time. She was a child then.
Old Jackson was a duke, and he was still young when he was widowed, so there were many noble ladies watching him. At that time, even Emperor Yulan asked on behalf of his cousin, but Old Jackson refused all these at the time, and he replied calmly At the wedding, he swore that he would only love her from now on and would never betray her. So he won't marry another wife. Emperor Yulan was quite speechless, "Jackson, my brother, even the most old-fashioned people would laugh at you... who would take the wedding vows seriously!"
"I have broken too many vows and done too many bad things. At least this time I will not break it." The young and handsome Jackson said so.
Then these ten years have passed, and the two children have grown up to the present.
In fact, when he first inherited the family, old Jackson did do a lot of uncomfortable things. At that time, he always liked to touch his patriarch's ring, which could calm him down. Now he has rarely touched the ring, maybe he has matured, maybe he has become a part of this cold world.
Old Jackson put the ring back on his body, and then sent a letter to Joan and Baker, saying that he wanted to see Mr. Greenwald.
Mr. Greenwald is a demon with a powerful and unconstrained thinking, but his thinking is not rigorous enough. Although his political sensitivity is high, he is not as good as old Jackson. During this period of getting along, old Jackson certainly discovered this. Now that he is already in the same boat, then simply help him again. Old Jackson thought so.
02.
When the old Jackson contacted Hill, Hill was writing "Love and Demons" unkemptly, just like a programmer on earth. After receiving the summons, Hill finally crawled out of the bedroom under Irvin's almost crying gaze, and then ran to take a bath in the hot spring in the volcanic area.
Hill has never been in a real hot spring on earth, only the man-made one. Most of the hot springs claimed on the earth are fake, but they are actually just boiling hot water. Many unscrupulous merchants add sulfur to them and reuse them repeatedly. It is scary to think about it. There is a cold knowledge that 15% of the air we breathe in the subway is human dead skin cells, in addition to all kinds of other strange things you don't want to know... and some unscrupulous merchants One can imagine what is in the hot spring.
But of course this problem doesn't exist in the other world.
Hill comfortably soaked in the hot spring, feeling the slippery feeling of the hot spring water, and once again realized the beauty of life now.
He plans to build a large hot spring resort nearby in the future, where people of all races can come to the hot springs. Then we will create a few hot springs with additional ingredients, such as red wine, medicinal materials, milk, hot springs such as flowers and plants, and make more tricks.
At present, Hill has built some small Japanese-style houses next to the hot springs, which were built by the skeleton family according to Hill's drawings. Hill found that the skeleton family has a high level of construction, which may be related to the fact that they often tear down their own bones to build small houses when they are bored... Oh yes, all the skeletons are ADHD, and their racial characteristics prevent them from obtaining other skills. Enjoy, the sad one is that skeletons can't eat, the more poignant one is that skeletons can't have sex. They are parthenogenetic. Their breeding method is very interesting. When they are preparing to reproduce, they take a piece of spiritual bone from their body and plant it in the soil, then water and fertilize it every day, and the little skeletons will crawl out in the spring of the next year... That scene reminded Hill of Vegetarian Wars The beginning of the zombie.
I planted a bone in spring, and harvested countless skeletons in autumn~
The skeletons maintain their lives by absorbing the essence of heaven and earth... It seems a bit mysterious to say it, but in fact it is just absorbing nutrients directly, without the process of enjoying delicious food.
Hill once boiled a large pot of soup for them, adding various nutritious ingredients in it, and then the skeletons jumped in one by one to absorb the nutrients in it with their bodies. Afterwards, the leader of the skeleton family said that it was the most delicious food he had eaten for more than a hundred years. Recipe for Cauldron Soup.
Because all the skeletons have ADHD, Hill assigned them various tasks, and they were happy to do them, showing the potential of workaholics.
After soaking comfortably in the hot spring, Hill's fatigue was gone, and he changed his clothes, ready to leave for the human world.
He is wearing a fine linen robe today, with a belt made of fish bones and high-quality cowhide tied around his waist, inlaid with many pearls and precious stones—this is a gift from the siren patriarch some time ago. The coat was black ermine, and the black cloak was fastened on the breast with a gold brooch. This should be a relatively retro outfit for Yulan City. The folk customs of the Yulan Empire are relatively open. Because there are no religious constraints, the clothing styles are also diverse. In fact, the mainstream clothing style is similar to the Baroque style on Earth, but various other styles are also acceptable—including Hill Launched cosplay outfit. You must know that religion has a great influence on clothing. Religions on the earth once believed that stripes were a symbol of demons, and there were also absurd historical facts that civilians were executed for wearing striped clothes.
Hill saw the old Jackson that night.
He went directly to Joan and Baker's mansion first, Joan and Baker opened the door and saw Hill sitting in the living room yawning, Joan and Baker were stunned for a moment: "You really come here uninvited every time. "
"Because you never invite me," Hill said.
"... you're always so good at it," Joan Baker said.
"You're always so good at telling the truth," Hill said.
Joan and Baker: "..." Brother, I am mocking you, didn't you hear it? You really have the talent of the Lannister family in this aspect: "Anyone who comes is not rejected, no matter what courtesy he has, as long as others offer it, I dare to take it." Joan and Baker silently complained in their hearts.
"I guess you are complaining about me now, but don't say it, I can continue to pretend that you are praising me, what I can't see doesn't exist, okay, that's it." Hill got up after saying this: " Alright, I'll go to Old Jackson's first, I'll be back tonight, let's discuss something serious."
"Why come here first when you're going there?" Joan Baker asked. In his opinion, this does not conform to the optimal solution of the transaction.
"Oh, I just came here to say hello to you." Hill stood up and shook the black cloak on his body, "I feel that it has become a habit to come to greet you first when coming to the human world... I think you won't mind, right? My number one collaborator."
Joan Baker blinked his cold gray eyes and smiled, "Of course I don't mind, Mr. Greenwald."
03.
Jackson House.
Ever since Olivia left, Jackson Sr. felt empty at home.
Hill followed the normal procedure to visit, and Jackson Sr. also received him according to normal etiquette. The two of them took a walk in the garden after having dinner together. The old Jackson didn't have any ink marks, so he said directly: "Do you know what happened at the Magnolia Academy of Magic?"
"I know." Hill nodded.
"Any thoughts?" Old Jackson asked
"It's an idea, but it's not in shape," Hill said.
Old Jackson: "What idea?"
Hill: "Use."
Old Jackson: "How to use it?"
"So that said... not in shape..." Hill coughed, a little embarrassed.
Old Jackson was speechless. This is not only an unformed idea, but also an empty-handed wolf. Then Hill poked his head: "Is the impact of this incident actually greater than I thought?"
Old Jackson was startled. He didn't expect the other party to think of such a step with just a few words? "Yes." he replied.
"The specifics..."
"Testing." Old Jackson said.
Hill was taken aback for a moment, and then understood the meaning of old Jackson: "You mean to use this incident to test the public's thoughts on the current Demon Race?"
Old Jackson nodded, "Yes, because almost everyone thinks this matter is a farce. If the test results are not satisfactory, you can continue to use the farce as an excuse to end it calmly."
Of course, Hill understood that the "temptation" was real, not the demons in the movie that confused the theme. This is indeed a good opportunity to test, but after taking this step, there will be no possibility of reconciliation with the Church of Light... If possible, Hill really hopes that he can be given a few years for him to develop with peace of mind.
But this is impossible.
And there was no possibility of reconciliation.
Then, do it.
That evening, Hill wrote the manuscript:
"I am one of the actors of "The Evil Lord", but because the manuscript is sensitive, I chose to remain anonymous."
Of course, one has to pretend to be a demagogue when doing such demagogic things.
At this time, it showed Hill's wisdom—he used various methods to increase the magazine's sales, and made the magazine's price lower and lower, in order to expand the magazine's influence.
"I love acting, and in filming I briefly experience another person's life..."
Then there is a line that Hill plagiarized on the Internet, which is very moving.
"Everyone thinks what is happening now is a farce, but I don't think that making a movie is a very interesting thing, and it can also gain wealth and fame. In addition, teachers should also have the ability to do what they want The right to things... Or, not because of the movie, but because of the demons?"
—The main event is coming.
"The education we have been exposed to since we were young has been telling us how evil the demon race is and how terrifying the demon world is, but now I think everyone has a preliminary understanding of the former sentence, and for the latter sentence, I, a Human beings who have been to the Demon Realm can tell everyone responsibly that it is not true. The real Demon Realm, like the Human Realm, has a variety of topography and landforms, and many of its scenery are more beautiful than the Human Realm. Everyone through the magazine You can also see some photos of the demon world. I can tell you that the real demon world is more beautiful than the photos.
I also came into contact with some races in the Demon World, elegant dark elves, and mysterious ghosts. They eat the same food as we do—of course they eat better, as anyone who's been to a restaurant in the Makai Emporium knows. They also have their own culture, customs and families. Lord Greenwald also mentioned that war to us. He showed a sad expression at the time. He said that both the demons and humans died a lot. Now the army of the demons is forced to disband, and the largest mine of the demons has also been destroyed The Church of Light took it away, and the current demons are actually in short supply of resources, so they were forced to start trading and trading with humans... And we all know that humans first took the initiative to attack the demon world... "
Hill felt a little toothache when he wrote his own part, but after writing the script of "The Evil Lord", his poison resistance has been greatly improved, so he also finished this paragraph smoothly.
"In the treaty with the Church of Light, the demon king at that time begged for fair trade, and the human side has already agreed. In fact, if we can develop slowly like this, humans and demons can become friends, and even fall in love and get married. "Friends Book" and those movies, that would be great. But I know it's impossible, even if we say yes, we hope, but church people won't allow it. I know there will be a day, but I Didn't expect it to come so fast.
Knowing that the headmaster of the Magnolia School of Magic forbade teachers from participating in the film, I was literally dying of anger. We must face the tragic fact that the desires of all of us have been tainted. In a sense, we are today The situation is the result of the sacrifices of many people, but some people want to break it. The higher-ups failed to fulfill this sacred obligation, but just wrote a bad check to us demons and humans. The check was stamped with 'insufficient funds' and then returned. But we don't believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt, we don't believe that there aren't enough reserves in this nation's great storehouse of opportunity. "
Hill moves his pen like flying, and Evans springs up. All kinds of bewitching and inducing words, all kinds of words that secretly changed concepts, were all written by him. Ah, thanks to old Jackson for the tip.
Alright, the next issue of the magazine will publish this "contribution by an anonymous actor" to see the reactions of human beings.
Five Great Elders of the Demon Realm: Hmm...? Does the last sentence sound familiar
Oh yes, "I Have a Dream" has been used more than once.
