01.

There are four main forces in the Magnolia Continent, the largest being the Magnolia Empire, the Oitin Empire (the Church of Light is stationed in the Oitin Empire, and the Oitin Empire is a theocracy), the ice empire in the north, Milheim, and the western prairie. The tribe of Dijon. In addition, there are many islands distributed overseas, the more representative ones are the Storm Island, the mysterious Misty Island, and the more famous Plague Islands.

The government of the ice empire Milheim is very different from the Magnolia Empire. Milheim is a typical ancient European enfeoffment system. The noble lords live on their own territories. They have their own castles, and then towns are built around the castle. stand up. The Black family is one of the two guardian families of the Mulheim royal family, so their territory is very close to the Winter City, named Winter Fort. The other guardian family is the White family, whose territory is named Limburg-here are all named like Fort X, except for Winter City.

When Olivia arrived at Winter Fort, he was warmly welcomed by the Black family. Aunts Ingrid and Black were very enthusiastic, but the dishes on the dinner table made Olivia choke. Salad of beets and onions, solidified cow brain flower, butter snail soup, goat meat, butter garlic... Olivia's empty eyes, politely ate some stew, and then her brain also empty.

Olivia should be thankful that there is no horrible custom of Chinese relatives suddenly putting a bunch of dishes in your bowl and forcing you to eat them.

This is the first time Olivia has seen her uncle's family since she can remember. After her mother died of dystocia, Anthony and Blake came to attend the funeral of their sister. At that time, Olivia was just a newborn baby.

Anthony and Blake are very typical northerners. His facial contours are very deep, his eyes are dark blue, his lips are always closed, his expression is cold, his temperament is like the cold rock on the snow-covered mountains west of Winter Fort. It looks particularly unkind, but in fact it is indeed unkind.

Black is the guardian family of the Ace family of the Milheim royal family. The patriarchs of Black are all knights loyal to the king. Their ancestors were civilians without a surname and followed King Ace. After the founding of King Aisi I, they were granted fiefdoms and became nobles. Although their fiefdom may be smaller than other lords, their connection with the Aisi family is the closest—the same is true for the White family.

For Anthony and Blake, the king’s orders are supreme. Whether it is a wise decision or a stupid decision, he will do it all. He does not know how to think, but gives up thinking. He knows that he is only the executor, only Only in this way can Black maintain the glory he has always been.

But one interesting thing is that the first generation of Black left a rule that someone in previous Blacks must intermarry with foreign nobles, combined with the family motto that Patriarch Black must unconditionally obey the royal family and orders of Ace, it will be very interesting. The conclusion comes.

—The first generation Black is really a very wise man.

During dinner, Uncle Anthony asked about the current situation of the Jackson family, and Olivia answered all of them. She calmly faced the strange family and had a good conversation with her cousin and cousin. Then she took out the gifts she had prepared in Magnolia City as a thank you for the dinner-luxurious furs, bows and arrows, beautiful skirts, jewelry, magic cameras and a notebook included with the Devil Magazine.

The ladies were attracted by clothes and jewelry, and Anthony looked at the notebook: "This is...new paper?"

Jade-white paper, neatly cut, light weight, much stronger than papyrus, lighter than parchment paper, such a thin stack is dozens of pages.

It looks like a magical creation, so it should be very valuable.

Anthony thought.

Is this the latest invention by the magicians of Magnolia City?

"It's a new kind of paper." Olivia said in a cheerful voice—Old Jackson asked her to talk about the paper first. Old Jackson knew that anyone with a head could see the role of Demon World Paper. People who have not personally experienced these movies, magazines and novels cannot judge how powerful they are-Olivia said this with pride, "It's a product of the devil."

"Devil?" Anthony's rocky face showed some incomprehensible emotions.

"Because of the treaty, the Demon World has begun to trade with humans." Olivia thought of what the old duke had taught her beforehand, and calmly explained, "The Demon World is selling some of their special products, and we also put some Sell ​​our things to the Demon World."

There is nothing wrong with that, after all, Hill often imports some seeds, poultry and other raw materials from the human world. In a sense, Olivia is telling the truth, but from another perspective, she is purely changing the concept, avoiding the important and neglecting it. These were all taught by old Jackson.

I have to say that Hill + Old Jackson + Joan and Baker are a match made in heaven (...).

"Why haven't I heard of such a thing?" Anthony frowned. Trade between humans and demons? That’s what the treaty says...

"Because it is currently only carried out in the Magnolia Empire." Olivia replied: "The merchants visiting both sides are limited, and the daily needs of Magnolia City alone are very tense, so there was no idea of ​​further expanding the market before." As a result, this was something. This is true in this sense. After all, the "visiting merchants" in Magnolia City are only Joan and Baker and Qili and Dalle who are in charge of the restaurant, but Olivia sounds like ordinary walking merchants.

"The Devil's things are very popular?" Anthony pinned Olivia's implication.

"For example, the notebook in your hand." Olivia said.

"Indeed, if it is such an excellent paper, it is normal to be popular among the nobles." Anthony nodded thoughtfully.

Olivia showed an embarrassed expression: "Uncle, in fact, I want to say that the notebook is just a gift."

Anthony: "...Huh?"

When Olivia had finished dinner in pain, and then sharpened his knife to scare his uncle half to death, Hill was happily collecting smoked bacon in the devil world.

He started doing this a month ago. He used the production method of the southern part of the country, which was divided into four processes:

First, select the white wild boar with thin skin and tender meat, then cut the pork into suitable strips, and then apply salt and a small amount of spices on the meat strips and put them in the vat for marinating for a week. This is the first two processes: feeding and pickling.

The third process is to dry, take out the meat strips in the tank, wash it with the ice spring on the side of the black dwarf, and then hang it in the woodland of the dark elves, where there is no air pollution, and it is filled with natural flowers and plants. The smell, Hill thinks the bacon made in this way is more delicious.

The fourth process is bacon. The fuel Hill chooses is the fruit trees and pine wood in the forest where the black dwarves live. He asks the black dwarves to process the wood into sawdust, and then sprinkle rice and peanuts on it, and then the fire element. The elf came to control the heat and smoked. Let the fragrance of fruit wood and pine wood, the fragrance of rice and peanut mix together into the bacon, plus the fragrance, flavor of the bacon and the original smoky taste.

The bacon will last for more than a week. Hill set the time as nine days. Today is the ninth day.

Nearly a month of preparations hooked out Hill’s gluttons. The black dwarves who were helping with the bacon also looked at Hill eagerly. Hill waved a part of it to the black dwarf, and then equalized the amount. Part of it sent the black dwarves to the dark elves, after all, they also contributed. Hill took a portion of it and decided to eat it himself. Hill gave the work of making large-scale bacon directly to the tauren. The way of making bacon is still very simple, but the ingredients and processes are irreplaceable, so that the tauren can be honest Just follow the method provided by Hill.

And this kind of bacon has a longer shelf life and can be supplied to pirates.

Of course, Hill has noticed the Josh Kenny Pirate market. He plans to produce a batch of fast food products such as canned food and luncheon meat with a relatively long shelf life, specifically to develop the Pirate market.

In order to celebrate the complete success of the bacon, Hill called everyone to hold a banquet... Now he always likes to find excuses to hold a banquet so that everyone can lively and lively together, and communicate with each other by the way. The demons below have also discovered this, but everyone is also yearning for the demon king's banquet, after all, they can eat a lot of fresh food in it.

The banquet was held in the habitat of the Skeleton clan, who lived in the forest.

This forest is quite dark, and the trees that cover the sky completely block the sun, so it is very dark from day to night, giving a rather gloomy feeling. The skeletons live in wooden buildings. The surface of the wood is covered with dark green moss, and they don't take it to heart. Pumpkins are one of the staple foods here. Pumpkins can be seen everywhere outside the house. They also put candles in hollowed out pumpkin shells to make lanterns. For the distinguished guests, they would take off their skulls to pour wine for the guests. The other demons happily took their skull glasses, but Hill twitched twice, feeling that I really couldn't do it. .

Among today’s dishes, Hill’s favorite is spicy crab and spicy crayfish. The orange-red crab looks attractive in color and has a spicy smell. The meat of this big crab is much more than that of crabs on the earth. The shell is crushed, and then the fresh and white crab meat is exposed. The meat is picked out and dipped in red oil sauce, and then sent to the mouth... Wow, that taste is so delicious that it makes people float. The tender taste, the fragrant and spicy taste, one bite after another, it is totally unstoppable.

Hill doesn't like to eat crabs on the earth, because the meat on a crab is really too little, and it's not enough to pick up and pull for a long time.

But the big crabs here are different. The meat in the claws is a lot thicker than human fingers. They are tender and full. They are even more delicious when they are dipped in a spicy sauce, so they are not ordinary.

Needless to say, the spicy crayfish is a classic dish. However, this crayfish was forcibly named by Hill. It was the smallest lobster that could be found in the Demon World, but it was still much larger than the crayfish on earth. Hill also got salmon sashimi this time. He is actually not very interested in sashimi, but he thinks other demons might like to eat it.

In addition to the previous desserts, Hill also eliminated the candied sweet potatoes, but the raw material used is not the honey of the flame bee, but the honey of another giant flower that has been discovered before. The flowers live on predators. They It will release a very psychedelic sweetness to attract animals, and then its petals and leaves are poisonous, but the nectar is not poisonous—this was discovered by the Encyclopedia Department. Hill intends to promote the cultivation of this thing in the devil world, and put food on them regularly... In fact, it is good to plant it on the front line, Hill thought, maybe it can become the first line of defense...

Hill picked up a piece of candied sweet potato with chopsticks, and the golden nectar attached to the candid sweet potato pulled out a long golden thread. With a slight movement of her finger, Hill cut the silk with magical power, and then he put it in his mouth. …Delicious, better than the ones on earth.

This way of handling wire drawing is also quite fun. Hill thought.

The surface of the candied sweet potato has a crispy honey shell. After the shell is crushed, the soft inside is felt. The nectar is not particularly sweet and greasy, but a refreshing sweetness. The sweet potato inside is sweet and soft, and the crispy outside and tender inside are also refreshing. This is a holy product for those who love to eat sweets. Hill thought. Hill has a general sense of sweets, his taste is relatively crude, he likes to eat meat, all kinds of barbecue.

After everyone ate and drank, they entered a state of free and undisciplined. The patriarch of the black dwarf clan jumped directly onto the table. He held up the cranium (...) wine glass of the elder Skeleton and said, "Let's drink to the wise Lord of the Devil! "

"cheers!"

"Let us toast delicious food!"

"cheers!"

"Let's cheers to the development of the devil world!"

"cheers!"

"Let's make a toast to the successful completion of the bacon!"

"cheers!"

As the black dwarf patriarch yelled, the atmosphere on the table became more and more warm. Hill smiled and raised his glass to be persistent with them, then walked to Monroe and sat down, "Unexpectedly, the food in his heart is in front of the devil. To me."

Monroe seemed to smile, and he said, "They are very happy."

"Yes." Hill raised his glass to greet Monroe.

Monroe also picked up his own wine glass, he was very much in the countryside, holding the skull of the skull, "What about you?"

The two clinked glasses and Monroe took a sip of the wine, but Hill drank it all. Monroe froze for a moment, and then drank the wine in the glass.

"At least at this moment when I see you drunk because of me, I am very happy." Hill said with a smile.

Monroe froze again, "Hill."

Monroe’s appearance is very different from that of humans. His black eyes are as gloomy and dull as a swamp. Hill’s gaze falls on his fingers. Once he held the knight sword in a long and powerful hand, he could see when he was angry. Hill actually thought it was **** when it came to the violent veins.

"Shhh." Hill said, "You can't call it that now." Ye Xiao's voice echoed in the forest, and the dwarf patriarch was still yelling for everyone to toast. The candlelight was shining in the jack-o-lantern, and the blood race was melancholy pulling Revannaström, the originator of the violin. The stars flickered in the sky, the night sky was quiet, and the night wind was blowing in the forest, bringing a whisper-like sound, but the forest was not very quiet. Occasionally, huge colored spiders crawled through the forest, and they made rustling noises.

In this situation, Hill approached Monroe and smiled at him, "You have to call me the Devil in front of other people, but you can call me Hill when there are only us in private."

The candlelight in the jack-o-lantern was so vivid that it seemed to be alive when it was blown by the wind.

"...Okay." Monroe said. A faint scarlet appeared in the dark eyes.

"Cheers for the Demon Realm Mall to be full in the human realm!"

"cheers!"

"Cheers for my king to have a baby soon!"

"cheers!"

Hill couldn't help laughing.

"What's going on?" Monroe asked.

"They just want to find a reason to toast." Hill said with a smile, and then he got up, "I'm going for a walk."

"En." Monroe nodded.

Hill took a few steps and then turned around. "To be honest, I was just waiting for you to say come with me."

"Uh, do you need me to accompany you? Lord Demon." Monroe asked.

Hill waved his hand, "It's boring if I ask, forget it." After saying that, he walked towards the woods alone. The sound of everyone having a lively banquet can be heard from behind, it should be happy, Hill thought. Ah, they thought that if they stayed here long enough, they would gradually miss the earth, but they didn't expect that with the passage of time, this miss would actually be deeper than at the beginning. In fact, it was okay at the beginning, I didn't miss home much.

Hill stood there and looked at the starry sky for a while, gradually draining his mind, and then filling it up again.

The lanterns and flames on the trail squirmed unnaturally.

Hill couldn't help but smile, "Irvin, aren't you tired in this flame?"

Irvine got out of the lantern, then knelt on one knee, "My King."

Then Hill raised his head to look at the woods on the side, "Al, are you trying to assassinate me when you follow me with such a restrained breath?"

Albrecht emerged from the darkness and knelt on one knee, "I'm sorry my king, I'm just worried about your safety."

Then Hill looked at the treetops over there, "Gormon, you will be bitten by a big spider again when you squat on the tree."

The magic dragon Gormond jumped down from the tree, "I have thick skin, it can't bite me."

Hill couldn't help laughing. Finally, he looked at the darkness over there: "Monroe, you ran out of the armor and turned into a black mist to follow me. Is this state of yours a streaking?"

The black mist quickly condensed and turned into Monroe wearing a white linen robe, "...Although you know what you mean, your way of expression is really not flattering."

"Hahaha..." Hill laughed, he smiled happily.

It's nice to have everyone around.

"Go," he said.

"Where are you going?" Irvin, the elf of the fire element, came over with his tail wagging.

"The second season of "Natsume's Book of Friends" is finished. Let's go to the show all night!" Hill said enthusiastically.

"good."

"Yes, my king."

"Look forward to~!"

"Wow, I’m so excited to be in the same room with my king!"

"...Tsk."

It was also a very pleasant night.
