The Negotiations for the film cooperation between the Demon Realm and the Bird of Death are under the sole responsibility of the Dark Holy See [Envoy] Leona.
Whether it's Leona Bell or Spike Electra, these two [messengers] of the church are loyal, and a friend in need is a friend in need, and Monroe has also reported to Hill, so he can give these two A bit of decentralization. Monroe knows that Hill likes to delegate power very much. Reasonable decentralization can increase the power of the demons and make Hill more efficient in governing.
"Of course, it also makes up for my laziness."
The sky was quite dark, and the icy wind was howling around him. Hill was walking in the forest wearing a warm luxurious fur, and Erwin was holding a lamp for him beside him. The flame inside the lamp struggled in the wind, but it did not go out after all.
The death knight Goldonia said in a deep voice: "My king, you are not lazy."
"Just laughing at yourself," Hill said, "Did you listen to what I said?"
"There are some parts that I don't understand yet," Gordenia replied.
"It's normal not to understand, think about it when you're free." Hill said, "Ah, here it is, it seems that the black dwarves have repaired the railway pretty well." Hill often instills some more advanced modern ideas in his subordinates. idea.
Gordenia looked up and saw that the steel tracks called "railway" by the Lord Demon King stretched into the distance in the night, which seemed to extend endlessly like this dark night. Lord Demon King said that this kind of railway will be spread all over the Demon World. This is a feat that has never been achieved by previous demon kings.
Culture invaded the human world, made humans crazy about the demons, used human money to compensate the demons, and almost changed the eating habits of the entire demons... This is something that previous demon kings have never done.
It is normal for the Demon King to change the Demon Realm, but now he is also gradually changing the Human Realm.
Gordenia doesn't know where the end of his Lord Demon King will lead, and what a great cause he will achieve in the end, but he knows that he will always follow him.
He is not good at words, and he will not tell his loyalty as fiercely as the dark elves. He also does not have the profound research on the principles of magic by Specter Binns, and he cannot do the special effects of movies like Alighieri the Lich. It's not like the devil dragon Gormon and the devil himself are good brothers... But his mentality is very stable now, because the devil king has never given up on him, and he has been teaching him various things. He is listening and learning hard. .
Last time Monroe said to him—he and Monroe have a good relationship—“I told my king that death knights have no heart, but my king said that it is because of heart that he became a death knight. I think this sentence is very good, That's why I want to tell you." After hearing this sentence, Goldonia's first thought was that not everyone can have a second life. The death knight was originally born for revenge, but other than that Besides, dedicating wholeheartedly to Lord Demon King, this is his "heart".
Gordenia looked at the railway stretching into the distance in the darkness, and said in a deep voice, "I understand, my king."
The sky is covered with dark clouds, without any stars or moons.
Under the sky, Gordenia and Hill inspected along the railway.
He is his sun, moon and stars.

Hill handed over all the communication with the Bird of Death to Leona. He didn't know if Leona could convince her. After all, Captain Rhodes of the Bird of Death was one of the four pirates. If the power is down, the other party will probably not agree to cooperate if they consider their interests. Of course, this is also from a certain point of view. To put it another way, pirates are "illegal existence" in the first place, and they may not be able to pay them any attention if they fawn over the Guangming Church, so it's okay to offend them a little bit, anyway, the debt is not heavy.
Rhodes quickly agreed to cooperate without hesitation, which made Hill wonder if Leona used some special means to abduct her, just like he did to Monroe... hey.
Rhodes and the pirates under him explained that they would participate in the filming of Pirates of the Caribbean. The pirates didn't think too much about it. Most of them were very excited to make a movie, and they could also make a movie with the demons. I don't know if it will be possible. There is the legendary succubus hahaha, the siren can also become ah~
Another reason is that Leona promised some benefits. Those pirates thought that they could earn gold coins without taking the risk to go to sea, so why not do it
But then they were exposed to the sun and the rain in the magic of Lich Alighieri, and they were frightened half to death by watching the monstrous waves... Wuwuwu why is this so different from what I imagined QAQ!
Hill didn't ask too much about the negotiation process, and in the end Leona's result was acceptable to him—it's about decentralization.
The matter of cooperation has been temporarily negotiated, and it is agreed to meet with Josh Kenny to discuss details.
Afterwards, Hill did something—at Emperor Yulan’s repeated requests, Hill sent two succubi over there, and then made a request to name the sea over there. Of course, Emperor Yulan readily agreed, and An announcement was made to rename the area of the sea as Pirates of the Caribbean.
The ministers didn't know that it was a succubus, they just thought that Emperor Yulan had two more lovers. In this regard, Hill seriously advised Emperor Yulan: You have to keep this matter a secret, otherwise if the people and the church know about the Demon Cholera King, you may all be finished. Although Emperor Yulan was not happy with what Yu Xie said, he still had some brains, so he kept it a secret.
The succubi were naturally very happy to have escaped the bitter sea of raising livestock. They served Emperor Yulan very attentively, which made Emperor Yulan even more fascinated.
—Oh yes, it was them, a male and a female.
Old Jackson didn't say anything about the succubus. Of course, Princess Lydia has been dissatisfied for a long time. That's for sure. Could she be happy that her father has two new lovers
Princess Lydia muttered to Theodore: What happened to His Royal Highness Greenwald, isn't it a disaster to send the succubus there.
Theodore didn't bother Hill with this matter, but directly said to Princess Lydia: "Your father asked for it many times, and I heard His Royal Highness Greenwald complain about this a long time ago. Behavior is disrespectful to a succubus."
Lydia froze for a moment, "He is a prince, he has the power to control the people under him."
Theodore shook his head: "His Royal Highness Greenwald's thoughts are very special, maybe because he is not of the same race as us, his thoughts are really the same as those in "Natsume's Book of Friends", he respects everyone and every demon, my The first time I walked with him on the street, he didn’t get angry when an old beggar soiled his shoes, instead he spoke to the old beggar very gently and gave him a voucher for the Devil’s restaurant.”
Lydia nodded.
Then Theodore continued: "Your father has mentioned to His Highness Greenwald several times about wanting a succubus. If Mr. Greenwald disagrees, it will have an impact on the relationship between the two parties. This is very bad. You also know that the relationship between us humans and the demons has finally improved."
Theodore has a high status now, and has a certain understanding of things on both sides.
"Actually, His Royal Highness Greenwald can persuade my father..." Lydia said with a frown. Indeed, today Hill's words may be more effective than the courtiers, such as the new courtiers and old Jackson (… ).
On one side is the respected Mr. Greenwald, and on the other side is the woman he likes. Theodore is a little embarrassed. In fact, it would be enough for other men to coax Lydia casually, and just say a few bad things about Hill, but Theodore didn't want to do that. He thought for a long time before saying: "Lydia, I love you, I respect our lord king, but I think you understand some things, if your father is a wise king who is good at accepting advice, many things will not be correct. It will be like it is now."
Now Theodore is exposed to more and more things. Although he loves the princess, he also has his own ideas.
After hearing what Theodore said, Lydia remembered the matter that Emperor Yulan did not agree to her going to the demon world, and his sentence, you are my daughter and my weakness. What if the demons catch you and threaten me? manage
Father. she thought then. It's fine if you just say that I'm worried about you. Why do you have to say such selfish words

After doing bad things in Magnolia City, Hill left for Josh Kenny. The Bird of Death has already parked in Josh Kenny's harbor. The pirates of the Bird of Death have already boasted that they can make movies What happened made the other pirates envious. It's good publicity, too, and Hill specifically supports and encourages it. As soon as he arrived at Josh Kenny, Hill immediately summoned the black dwarf craftsmen to make some modifications to the Dead Bird, making it look more beautiful and more durable, and then carved multiple defensive circles on it, There were a lot of rough seas during the shooting, if the Dead Bird was really smashed in half, Rhodes would probably go crazy.
Pirates of the Caribbean casting auditions begin.
From the beginning, Hill planned that except for certain movies, the actors in other movies would be half human and half demon. This is the political correctness of the demon world. It's as if there must be a black man in a Hollywood blockbuster, although that black man will often die heroically for his white brother, or be reduced to a funny character.
Speaking of which, the black people in this world, that is, the Mortons, are regarded as demons by some people in the church and are persecuted. At present, Hill has ordered the Dark Holy See to collect and resettle the Mortons.
One day these Mortons will stand up at the right time and complain to the world about the evil deeds of the church.
It's one of Hill's secret weapons.
For this reason, the power of the Dark Holy See must also infiltrate overseas. After all, the aborigines of the Mortons are overseas.
Captain Jack in Pirates of the Caribbean is the soul of the movie. This role requires super-high acting skills. The feeling of being crazy, wise and stupid, with orchid fingers raised, feeling always out of the situation but suddenly speaking a wise word It's not something ordinary people can perform. Hill looked in the mirror and turned himself into Captain Jack in the Earth movie, and then looked at Johnny Depp on the phone, trying to imitate.
… so weird.
... No, this word is too mild, it should be said that he played Sand Dollar well.
Well, Hill thought, looking at the fake Johnny Depp in the mirror, the average person really can't act. He is still suitable for the role of the domineering president who is cold as ice and who doesn't talk too much. He just needs to say "Woman, you are playing with fire" with a paralyzed face. In this way, he can play Zhou Zekai in the hands of a full-time master. Hill thought bitterly. All you need to do is hmmm. So he can still shoot GV... It's beside the point.
Then when it comes to Elizabeth, the heroine of Pirates of the Caribbean, Olivia is the first thing Hill thinks of. He feels that this role is tailor-made for Olivia. He thought about letting Olivia and old Jackson play the roles of Swann and his daughter. Anyway, according to the plot, old Swann is also a nobleman.
Hill has also considered letting Princess Lydia play Elizabeth, but the other party definitely wants Theodore to play the leading role. Of course Theodore is good. Hill does not want one person to play the leading role twice in succession. Brings a bad viewing experience.
After discussing with Old Jackson, Hill asked Olivia to come back for a while. At present, the Demon Realm shopping mall in the Ice Empire Mülheim has gained a foothold with its delicious food. Hill sent Gordonia to take charge of the overall situation there when Olivia was away, and use the teleportation array at any time. Connect with Hill. Gordenia is good at everything at present, but he is not proficient in anything. He is a brick of socialism, where he goes wherever he is needed.
For the other cast interviews, Hill did it with Leona and Captain Rhodes of the Dead Bird.
Hill deliberately mixed the human beings and demons in the interview, in order to make everyone less afraid of the real demons.
If you do this in Yulan City, most people will probably be scared, but after all, Josh Kenny's folk customs are tough, and most of the people who come to interview are pirate villains, so after watching the movie, everyone is very satisfied with the demons. Full of curiosity, that curiosity completely overwhelmed fear.
On the contrary, those demons were seen as a bit shy, and a skeleton even came to complain to Hill that a human was watching a woman and fucking him.
Hill was speechless, you look like a woman in this endless state.
Later, when we were shooting the movie, everyone got to know each other well, and some pirates made very excessive demands: For example, ask the skeleton, can I touch your pelvis? The skeletons were terrified. They felt that the humans were crazy this time. How dare they sexually harass the demons? Well, in the world of skeletons, it's probably as scary as a thick-bodied dude asking you out of the blue, "Can I touch your ass?" (or even more so).
Hill was lying on the table laughing for a long time, and finally made it into a behind-the-scenes scene. So the human beings who watched the movie laughed silly.
Then Hill gave a speech to the crowd: We should respect each other's customs and respect cultural differences. What would you do if a guy many times bigger than you suddenly asked if he could touch your ass
In fact, it should be fortunate that the skeleton does not have JJ, otherwise the other party's request may be more excessive. cough.
Later, this movie tidbit became famous, and it has become a stalk of communication between humans and demons.
04.
The noisy interviews lasted for a long time, and most of the roles were confirmed. Among them, Captain Barbossa, the villain of the first film, is a blood ghost who was once a nobleman.
Blood ghosts are a type of ghosts, extremely rare, and the conversion method is also very harsh.
When he was a human nobleman, he was obsessed with dark magic. He took a fragmented book to study every day, and finally formed a magic circle to kill his servants and himself. Then he was crazy for decades, and finally returned to normal.
After returning to normal, the Blood Specter has the air of an aristocrat at the beginning, but in general it is a bit nondescript. Just right for Captain Barbossa's vibe.
A few days after the general election, the protagonist Will Turner was elected, and he was Karl, the young apprentice of Death Bird's first mate. Carl blushed with joy after hearing that the heroine was Olivia, daughter of the duke and gentle cousin of The Lord of the Worlds. Of course, the other pirates envied him.
The top management of Death Bird, the chief mate was very interested in auditioning, and Hill gave him an important supporting role. Captain Rhodes said that he cooperated with all his strength, but he never thought about acting by himself. Hill thought about it, and felt that he was a pirate king after all, and he should be very qualified in all aspects. Although he didn't know why he looked lifeless, he still Decided to let him try the character setting of Captain Jack.
"Captain Jack Sparrow," Hill describes, "the son of the Pirate King, who started out as a half-official man, found out that the official man was smuggling slaves and set them free, and was expelled by the official Pirate, his Black Pearl was also destroyed. Then Jack found... um... he found a pirate who was a demon and begged the other party to use magic to save his ship, on the condition that he would serve on the other party's ship 13 years after he became the captain 100 years."
"He is a person who loves his ship very much." Captain Rhodes said sincerely.
"Well...then he was betrayed by the first mate," said Hill.
Captain Rhodes looked at his first mate, and the first mate looked at Captain Rhodes innocently.
Hill tried to laugh a bit, "It's a movie, man, take it easy."—then his Black Pearl became the first mate's ship, and he was exiled on the island by the first mate, and then escaped. The turtles tied together and escaped in a turtle ... he's been kind of crazy since then."
"This person..." Captain Rhodes pondered.
"The desire to live is very strong." The first officer said pointedly.
Captain Rhodes is a person who has almost no desire to survive. Since his revenge, he has no interest in anything, whether it is power or strength. It's just that he has to find something to do for himself, so he has been studying necromancy in the captain's cabin. The first officer felt that Rhode's state was very worrying. He even thought that it would be fine if Rhode was obsessed with beauty. After all, his sister had been dead for so long... But Rhode is not interested in women now. So the first mate stuffed the beautiful boy into Rhodes' captain's cabin, but he was almost thrown into the sea by Rhodes.
"Later Jack said that he didn't actually escape through sea turtles, but it doesn't matter if it's true or not, because he is so omnipotent in the movie. He is smart, he yearns for freedom, and he is both good and evil..." Hill will Captain Jack Described to Captain Rhodes little by little, Captain Rhodes listened very carefully. At the end, Rhodes said: "I'll try my best... The pirate king is almost the opposite of me. Can you wait for me all night, prince."
"Okay." Hill agreed, and gave a copy of Jack Sparrow's setting to Captain Rhodes.
Rhodes returned to the boat at night and carefully read the thin booklet several times. The first mate knocked on the door and came in, saying, "It's rare to see you care so much about other things."
"Ah." Rhodes nodded, "Captain Jack is a very powerful and respectable pirate. He has an excellent personality and charm, and is quite approachable. He is a hero and an unpredictable lunatic. For The most important thing for me is that he has the original pride of being a pirate."
"The pride of pirates..." the chief mate repeated, maybe the pirates who just set foot on the pirate ship did have blood and passion, but now most of them are living mechanically, robbing treasures, trading, killing people and setting fires, and then throwing money away. Sprinkle it on women and wine... But after the Demon World Mall appeared, everyone seemed to have a little more vigor and vitality.
"Yes." Captain Rhodes nodded, "I think a long time ago, when I was the captain of a merchant ship under the control of the nobles of Fussen, I thought how much it would be if I were a pirate and could sail freely in this sea area. Good. Actually, I like the sea, and I used to yearn for this feeling, but then I forgot.”
It's been a long time since the first officer heard Rhodes say so many words at once, he was stunned for a long time, "Very good... I'm glad to hear that you have such an idea, so are you already determined to win this role? My captain."
"I was able to endure a lot of pain and learn necromancy, and then we came all the way, and now I am this sea—now it is called the Caribbean Sea, right? One of the four major pirate kings of the Caribbean Sea, we Invincible... Oh, yes, this reminds me of when you and the crew threw me on the deck when you fought Musa, and then the rest of you hid in the cabin..." Rhodes said.
The first mate's eyes drifted away, why did he suddenly start to settle accounts after so long... It seems that it is not necessarily a good thing to have dreams and passions again. sweat.
Had he not followed the tradition of the Death Bird? If you encounter an enemy you can’t beat, you will close the door and release the captain. Anyway, the captain is very powerful. Everyone knows that the first officer is in charge of everything on the Death Bird, and the captain is the strongest fighter...
"At that time, the opponent was holding a magic crystal gun, and only you, the captain, could deal with it." The first officer said dryly.
The magic crystal gun is a kind of magic tool, which is quite expensive and can be used by ordinary people. Some pirates will equip some on their pirate ships, but most of the time everyone still fights with swords.
"Okay. Let's not take this as an example." Captain Rhodes said, "I am the captain."
The first mate was not upset but very happy when he heard this. These words indicated that Rhodes began to have the desire to take power, "Yes, captain."
"Let's continue with the topic just now—since I have experienced so much, and now I have the status of a king, in terms of status, there are very few people in this sea who are qualified to play Captain Jack. I will take it seriously and get it This role." Captain Rhodes said cautiously.
"Okay." The first mate nodded, "I'll wait and see, Captain."
It's great, a movie, a character, awakening a person's love and passion for life.
05.
The next day, Hill was sitting on the third floor of the Demon Realm shopping mall looking through the list of actors, when footsteps sounded. He raised his head, looked at Captain Jack standing staggeringly in front of him, and said, "Isn't the weather nice today, Prince." After he finished speaking, he hiccupped, and then he raised his orchid finger and said, "Oh no Sorry, I'm a little rude, but I don't think His Royal Highness will take this trivial matter seriously, will you?"
Hill smiled, "No, I remember your rudeness. I will detain your boat and return it to you after the movie is finished." After a pause, he said, "Captain Jack."
—
