josh kenny.
Ever since the little pirate Jack on the Bird of Death got his phonograph, he has cherished it like a baby. The phonograph brought him pleasure and also gratified his vanity during the bar brawl. The Bird of Death stayed in Josh Kenny for too long, and this day was the time for everyone to return to the ship. As soon as Jack got on the ship, he heard that the first officer was looking for him. He kept the phonograph first, and then went to the first officer.
Jack was a little uneasy. After entering the cabin, he first drew the Poseidon's logo on his chest: "Poseidon bless you." He started the routine according to the routine.
"Sea God bless." The first officer also said, and then he said casually: "Recently, you are very famous in Josh Kenny."
Jack panicked all of a sudden.
An existence at the level of the first mate can completely decide his future at will. Is the first mate dissatisfied? Should he apologize? Troubled the Dead Bird? A series of questions appeared in his mind, and he began to be overwhelmed as habitually as before. So he opened his mouth: "I'm sorry, first mate."
The first officer glanced at him, but he couldn't tell what kind of emotion the first officer was feeling at this moment.
On the Death Bird, the chief mate has higher authority than other pirate ships, because their captain Rhodes is taciturn and rarely manages affairs, and the chief mate is in charge. Many decisions of the chief mate can be executed directly without going through the captain. The two of them are very good friends, and the first mate's sister is Rhode's lover, which makes their relationship even better. Back then, the bird of death was called the bird of light, and it was still a merchant ship. Later, the girl died on the bed of a local official, so Rhodes went crazy. It was rumored that he had colluded with the demons for revenge. He used witchcraft to blacken his ship, and he turned the crew into skeletons. Li climbed into the mansion of the official, and the next day people in the city found that there was no one alive in the mansion, and blood flowed like a river.
At this point, the Bright Bird became the Death Bird, and Rhodes also became a pirate.
As for that rumor... it's actually partially true.
Rhodes found the Dark Vatican at the beginning, and wanted to sacrifice his soul in exchange for the Vatican to avenge him, but obviously the rumors about the Dark Vatican are a bit unrealistic, they are not interested in human souls, mainly because they don't know human beings. what the soul can do.
The people of the Dark Vatican took away two-thirds of his property—as a merchant captain, he had considerable savings, and then Leona and Bell, one of the five [messengers], came forward to help him. Leona Bell is a necromancer, and she did summon the dead to kill.
Later, Rhodes became a pirate while selling illegal goods for the Dark Vatican. Leona and Bell had habitually seduced him, but he fell in love with his dead lover deeply and remained unmoved. This made Leona think he was pretty good, and this was the beginning of their friendship. Rhodes learned some necromancy from Leona, which made him even more fearsome at sea.
Later, during the war between the demons and humans, the Dark Holy See was at stake, the person who connected with Rhodes died, and Rhodes couldn't contact Leona—she was the one who came to him in the past, so time passed like this. It wasn't until the release of the second Demon World movie "The Overbearing Demon King Falls in Love with Me" that Rhode discovered that the heroines in it were Leona and Bell. Only then did he make sure of her safety.
But now he is already one of the four big pirates, and now the power of the Dark Vatican has been greatly weakened. In fact, he does not have to run errands for the Dark Vatican in theory. After all, the Dark Vatican used money to kill people, and he has done so many things for them over the years , the kindness of necromancy has almost been paid off...
but.
Rhodes once said to the first mate: "I hope that the kindness I owe will never be exhausted."
The first mate was silent for a while, then said, "This will give you the motivation to keep going?"
"Well." Rhodes nodded, "I don't have any special meaning or purpose in living, and I don't have any special pursuit of wealth and power, but I always need a reason to live... Then, let's repay the kindness."
The first officer sighed at the time. He stood on the deck and looked at the sea, while Rhodes looked at the sky. After a long time, the first officer said, "At least I'm with you."
"Yeah." Rhodes said.
Rhodes really didn't have any pursuits. He practiced undead spells every day when he was free, but he was free every day because he pushed most of the work to the first officer. He is now very proficient in undead spells. If he dies normally after receiving a physical attack, he will immediately become a ghost.
Because of Rhodes' idea, the overall atmosphere of the Bird of Death is relatively relaxed, so mediocre pirates like Jack can continue to exist. If it was on the ship of the other four pirates, Jack would have died or been kicked out. On the bird of death, if everyone can't beat it, they will choose to release the captain.
The first mate was also a little helpless about this, but forget it, that's okay, after all, everyone is useful, and such a relaxed pirate life also attracted many strong pirates to join.
Therefore, for the Bird of Death, the first officer is often equivalent to the captain.
That's why Jack is so nervous.
After glancing at Jack, the first mate walked to his desk, opened the lamp cover on the desk, and added some powder into it. The powder was ground from bones and some stones, and then the captain applied the necromancy technique, and after being ignited, it would emit a bright blue flame. This kind of flame is low temperature, so there is no need to worry about the problem of fire escape. Most people on board use this kind of lighting tool... well, so besides being a thug, Captain Rhodes also shoulders the task of illuminating the whole ship.
As he added the powder, he said, "Every tavern in Josh Kenny is talking about this, the crew of the death bird, the phonograph, the pirates who got beat up by gangs. What do you think?"
The first officer saw Jack's performance all the time, and to be honest, he was very disappointed with Jack. Jack is of average ability, but there are other people with average ability on the Death Bird, and those people quickly found their suitable positions, and drifting at sea requires such good adaptability. But Jack didn't, he was even being bullied by people from other boats all the time, he didn't fight back, he didn't come back and say, it's too embarrassing. Jack's situation is what the teacher said when he was in school, "It's not a problem of ability, but a problem of attitude."
Jack wanted to talk again, but suddenly he remembered the movie he watched some time ago, and thought of Theodore in "The Evil Lord", fate treated him unfairly, but his soul was still strong even when his body was weak, Then he thought of the moving music on the gramophone, and he felt his fear gradually disappear, "Johnny committed public outrage, and it's only natural to be treated like that."
"Oh." The first mate put the lampshade back on, then covered the log box, put it in a drawer, and said casually, "But I heard that you are still being bullied by that person."
Jack had calmed down, and he summoned up his courage and said, "Yes, I was just about to tell you...they dare to bully the crew of the Bird of Death, which is insulting our dignity."
"You mean to ask me to lead a group of people to get that number..."
"Black Sea, mate," said Jack.
"Oh, okay, the people from the Black Sea repaired it?" asked the first mate.
"If I could..." Jack hesitated, but said it anyway.
"If I followed my previous thinking, I would make the Black Sea pay the price, and then kick you out of the Dead Bird, because the Dead Bird tolerates ordinary people, but not waste." The first mate said.
If it was before, Jack would probably be scared to death after hearing this, but now he still has the ability to think after being taken aback, so he said cautiously: "You said it, it was a 'previous thought'."
"Very good." The first mate nodded, "show your worth."
"I will." Jack's voice firmed up.
"Do you know what your worth is?" asked the mate.
"I don't know, but starting today, I will work hard to find out." Jack said.
"You are lucky to be on this ship," said the mate.
"Yes." Jack said sincerely, "I was very lucky to meet the Bird of Death, and I hope that I can die on her in the future."
"Very good." The first mate nodded, "Go out."
"Okay, first mate." Jack saluted again, "May the sea god be with you, first mate."
"May the God of the Sea be with you, Jack," said the mate.
The general dialogue of pirates at sea is like this, starting with "The God of the Sea blesses you" and ending with "The God of the Sea is with you".
After Jack left, the first mate suddenly remembered the recently updated "Lord of the Mysteries", which also has occupations to make a living at sea. They believe in the God of Storms, so they always say "May the storm be with you", The first officer sprayed it the first time he saw it... Isn't this too unlucky
When Jack returned to the cabin, he felt his blood surging, and everything around him changed after he changed.
I feel that Theodore of "The Evil Lord" gave me courage, and I also thank the music for soothing my anxiety.
Early the next morning, the Black Sea announced that it had become a vassal of the Death Bird, and Johnny was dispatched to the Death Bird. Under the order of the first officer of the Death Bird, Johnny became Jack's first subordinate.
02.
Recently, the magazines have appeared Otome-oriented fan stories and Shimizu's ambiguous BL fan stories, "Natsume's Book of Friends" related, "Proud World Evil Lord", and even "The Daughter of the Sea" The siren princess and Lily CP of the human princess who finally married the human prince.
At that time, Hill looked very dazed, is this okay
You stole my man and I stole you...
After another prince married a human princess, the siren princess became blackened, so she seduced the king by means, and then... uh... became the prince's mother. When Hill watched it, he popped out directly, feeling that he was greatly entertained.
The funniest thing is the "Daughter of the Sea" + "The Evil Lord", who said that the siren princess got the inheritance of the lich, and then various counterattack plots, and finally the siren princess became the siren queen, a beautiful man in the harem three thousand. Hill checked it at the time and found out that it was Princess Lydia's contribution. He suddenly felt that Theodore's position was a little dangerous... Laughing to death.
These odd-shaped fans have opened the door to a new world for many people.
Hill thinks that he has published all the fans that are good. He wants to create a special fan page in the future, but there is no need to do so for the time being, after all, the current volume is still small.
In this magazine, Hill stuffed Snow White in, and the seven dwarfs were changed to seven black dwarfs.
Races such as dwarves and elves used to exist in the Magnolia Continent, and there are still a few sets of their skeletons in the Magnolia Academy of Magic, but later some of them came to the Demon Realm and mutated, and the other part traveled across the ocean and disappeared. As for why they left, the book did not say, but Hill thinks there are two reasons, one is for the more mysterious beliefs and pursuits, and the other is forced by humans.
Now Hill's purpose is to make people have a better impression of the Demon World, so he changed the kind seven dwarves into seven black dwarves, and then he also changed the initial hunter into a queen and sent a dark elf to assassinate snow White. Speaking of which, it’s also the assassination of the princess. The hunter in Snow White couldn’t bear it and let Snow White go. In The Witcher, the assassin felt that the princess was very pitiful. He couldn’t bear to assassinate the princess, so he raped her... Hope When Er was watching this plot, the wind was in a mess, God couldn't bear it, God was so kind, this storyline is really dark. However, the princess in "The Demon Hunter" stabbed him to death with a hairpin while he was doing business, and the fighting power is still quite powerful.
As for other aspects of "Snow White", basically no changes, including the ending.
In fact, Hill has always felt that the plots of many fairy tales are very gloomy, not to mention the childhood nightmare "The Red Shoes", but only the "Snow White" in the Grimm's fairy tale. The red iron boots danced in the fire, and at last the queen was so hot that she fell down and burned to death.
Hill had no memory of this passage when he was a child, but when he grew up, he re-read these fairy tales and felt that his three views collapsed...
Well, in order to let everyone have a clear understanding of fairy tales, "The Red Shoes" should be published in the next issue of the magazine, Hill thought. He really thinks about everyone.
Elsewhere in the magazine, Hill intends to stop serializing halfway through the second volume of A Song of Ice and Fire, A Clash of Kings, and then publish the next few volumes directly. At present, besides "A Song of Ice and Fire", the magazine that Hill is responsible for is "The Lord of the Mysteries". The latter is a very calm work, which means that he is slow to develop.
At first, everyone habitually read all the content of the magazine. The novels that everyone was most looking forward to were still other parts, as well as the short stories that Hill collected from the Internet, including Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales Grimm, and some famous short story writers abroad. Works like O'Henry. In addition, readers contributed. But two months have passed, and the grand world of "Lord of the Mysteries" has also been revealed, with a brand new power system and interesting night watchmen—these night watchmen are reminiscent of the night watchmen in Ice and Fire, the same title, the same Bearing a heavy responsibility. But compared to the night watchmen in Ice and Fire, they are undoubtedly much cooler, and the relationship inside is also warm and funny, which makes people yearn for it.
So gradually, "Lord of the Mysteries" also has many fans.
Hill thinks it will have a fan boom next month.
Hmm... Because Captain Dunn is going to die next month... From then on, his death can continue to torture readers for a thousand chapters... Yuanmu.
As for the serialization of "A Song of Ice and Fire", he hasn't decided what to choose. Anyway, there is still a while, so just choose a work with a lot of weight.
Next, it's about the game.
One day, halfway through the broadcast of "Natsume's Book of Friends", a line of words suddenly appeared on the screen: Advertise, I'll be back later.
Everyone:? ?
Someone jumped straight off the stool.
What's the situation? Interstitials? !
The reaction of the masses was quite strong.
Hill said that it is good for everyone to get used to it.
Anyway, everyone protested and couldn't decide anything, the screen went black, and the first line appeared: Customize a new life.
After a few seconds, the line disappears, and then a dialog box appears, which says: Your name
Then came "Bella," a very popular female name.
Then a dialog box pops up: Are you sure to use this name
Sure.
After the name is determined, the next thing that appears is "Please confirm your appearance and customary clothing."
Hill feels that this kind of setting will make the player feel more substituting for the heroine, otherwise everyone will have exactly the same look, and the sense of substitution will be less—especially when everyone can communicate offline.
The speed of confirming these things on the screen is very fast, and it flashes away in a second or two, but in reality, many women will hesitate and spend half a day here.
Then a line appears:
"Congratulations, you have completed the customization of the virtual life, let's enter this character and start the journey of love and demons."
Naturally, these are not needed when the promotional video is released on Earth, but in a different world, everyone has never been exposed to this before, so Hill tried to explain it as simple and clear as possible.
"If that day is calm and windless."
Petals scattered dreamily in the dark.
"If... they never showed up in my life."
Then there were several scenes, familiar to Yulan City and the Josh Kenny people, some landmark buildings in their town were drawn into caricatures, and the Blackstone Tower in the Demon Realm also disappeared in a flash.
The girl stretched out her hands to catch the petals.
Then the title appeared - "Love and Demons"
The small print below is: A mobile game where you can fall in love with demons
"Game, what does that mean?"
"Can it be played on the magic phone?"
"Falling in love with a demon?! With what demon?"
As if responding to her question, the next picture cleared up the confusion.
The first thing that appeared was a handsome boy with fiery red hair. He was wearing a black coat, a white shirt inside, flowers on the cuffs, and a light yellow vest with expensive pockets and brooches. His smile is bright and beautiful:
"I will do what I promised."
There are a few words written next to it: Zhou Qiluo Superstar Race: Fire Elemental Spirit CV Rui Fuer
He was originally sitting on the grass, but in the next scene he stood up and stretched out his hand towards the screen.
"For you, I will stand on a higher ground."
At this time, the audience has temporarily forgotten the dissatisfaction with the commercial break.
"It's so delicate and beautiful, very sunny."
"Fire Elemental Spirit!! Can he cook!! If he can, I can!!!"
"My dear Ma Lian, are you looking for a love partner or a cook?"
"A very handsome boy, but it doesn't fit my aesthetics."
Then the screen changed, and what appeared was a man wearing a shining holy knight armor. His armor is exquisite and gorgeous, as white and brilliant as a snow field under the sun, and the badge outlined by the silver thread is even more shining. The iron buckle is golden, and a fiery red cloak is tied around the shoulders.
"As long as you are in the wind, I can sense it."
The basic information of this character appeared next to it: Bai Qi, 24 years old, birthday on December 14, occupation—
"Is it a paladin?" Someone guessed.
"Definitely a paladin," said another.
"Did you fall in love with a paladin... It feels good too, but isn't it about the demons?"
Then the picture changed, the Paladin's armor was dyed black, his blond hair faded, his blue eyes deepened, the holy light turned into black mist, and his voice was low.
"I won't put you in any danger except me."
—Occupation, former paladin, now death knight.
This slightly dark line stimulated the audience.
"Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooever of is that i'm going to put you in my danger, other than that of someone else's?"
"This is so handsome! It looks like a demon!"
"From a paladin to a death knight! Wow!"
Then a third character appears. He wears men's clothing in the early baroque style, but in elegant and sober tones, with a collar buttoned with lace ribbons around his neck, a long double-breasted coat, and a monocle in his gloved hand.
"Today, you belong to me."
His voice was very quiet.
Xu Mo, Lich. His identity appeared next to him.
"Wow? Liches! I thought liches were grandpas like Ali!"
"This lich is so handsome! This line sounds so exciting haha."
"Speaking of which, a lich can control a person's body, right? So it can control the heroine's body... and him... what?"
Then the lich put on the monocle, raised his jaw slightly, "Emotions can lure people into a trap, now... you still have time to escape."
The camera is zoomed out, foggy, and his monocle can be seen reflecting white light, while the other eye emits a terrible red light.
"...I'm dead."
"My wife is so handsome...!!!"
The screen changes again, and the characters appearing on the screen this time are more familiar - the character design is based on the overbearing devil in "The Overbearing Demon King Falls in Love with Me".
"I just want to be king in your world."
The heroine's hands holding the petals reappeared. She let go of her fingers, and the petals fluttered one after another. Each petal has a reduced CG image.
Then the monologue female voice sounded again.
"I guess I wouldn't be so hesitant...and not be this happy."
The figure of leaving appeared on the screen, and then two dialog options appeared, he left, should I catch up
One, catch up.
Two, don't chase.
Then it automatically chose to catch up, and the background music began to rise.
The petals were flying, and the petals with the reduced CG images floated to the screen, presenting scenes of intense scenes.
The devil gave a wall-dong to the camera, leaned over and said in a low voice, "I want your time, just stop for me."
The fire elemental elf jumped down from the tree with a smile, and his hair could be seen in a golden-red gradient in the setting sun: "I found you, don't leave me again."
The death knight approached the camera step by step: "You can only see me in your eyes."
The Lich stood beside the bed, and slowly took off the monocle: "Now, you still have time to escape."
These pictures are all from the first perspective, and there is no heroine.
Then more petals fly past the camera, and many fleeting scenes can be seen. Finally, the screen went dark, and the magic phone appeared in front of the screen, with the title Love and the Demon Race on it, and then the voice of Lord Demon King: "Finally, I'm going to see you."
—On December 1st, it will be officially launched.
—We are here waiting for you.
That's the end of the ad.
The audience—especially the ladies—had a blast.
—
