01.

Now the entire mainland of Magnolia City has entered a complete deep winter, and you can see the snow-capped peaks of Magnolia City. The snow-capped mountains seem to glow on sunny days. Some northerners believe that the cold **** lives in the glowing snow-capped mountains.

"The white storm comes from your pupils

Your pride shines like a snow-capped mountain under the clear sky

Your words are moonlight melancholy murmurs

You live in the glowing snow mountain

Make our dreams cold

You are the eternal cold god

…"

It is sung in the ballads of those northerners.

Farther north, it’s almost at Mülheim, where the evergreen forest shows a deep dark green close to black. The river in the forest is silver in this season, and some of it is already frozen, and the river bed will dry up in the next spring. .

For the poor, the cold brings two benefits. One is that they can store food longer, but unfortunately they don’t have much food; the other is that they can die with a reason, and they have to bear family responsibilities when they are poor. At that time, death became a luxury.

In Jackson's mansion, the fireplace burned almost all day long, keeping the temperature in the house within a comfortable range. There were three servants who made a special trip to do this.

In the general mall, Hill has installed the heating in advance. —Oh yes, heating. The principle of the radiator couldn't be simpler, just pour hot water into the radiator and turn it into a water cycle. The general shopping mall is decorated in the modern way of the earth, and Hill has no plans to make a fireplace.

The temperature in the Jackson mansion at this moment is lazy. When Hill came in, he took off the luxurious cloak with dark green embroidered gold patterns and gave it to the servant. He was wearing ring armor and dark green clothes inside, and the back was dark. His cloak looked like a wild knight traveling outside.

Joan and Baker wore a loose purple gown with a black vest outside, and followed Hill.

Old Jackson looked up and down Hill's attire without being rude: "Good day, Baron Baker, and His Royal Highness Greenward, you can always give people a refreshing feeling."

"Good day, Duke Jackson," Hill said, "you always wear the same clothes and speak the same lines, just like an NPC."

"In a sense, I can also become an NPC who is only loyal to the empire and does not know what other thinking is." Old Jackson smiled slightly, "The servant has already prepared hot tea, please come in."

This kind of greeting is enough.

After entering the inner room, Hill said directly: "At present, Olivia is progressing smoothly in Milheim Winter City. I didn't expect such expensive food to be eaten. You humans are really rich."

Old Jackson complained in his heart. Isn't this what you set the price so high? But of course on the surface of him, that was still the noble expression of the duke, "Money is used to spend, they think it is valuable."

"Yes." Hill nodded. "With this realization, you are better than most people. For example, Baker."

Baker put down the black tea cup next to him, "It's nothing more than boasting, don't step on me."

"Standing on people and boasting that talents have strength." Hill said.

Joan and Baker, "...Yes." You are happy.

Then the three discussed the expansion of the Devildom Mall in the Magnolia Empire, and Hill said his plans for the next movie, "Pirates of the Caribbean."

"What role does the demons play in the movie?" Joan Baker asked.

"There are no important roles, mainly about pirates, uh, and some respectable nobles." Hill said.

"I feel I was offended." Joan Baker said.

"I'm talking about a respectable nobleman." Hill said.

"I am." Joan Baker said.

Hill: "...Well, what you said makes sense. But those nobles mainly want to encircle and suppress pirates for their own benefit, so that's why." It mainly talks about pirates, adventures, passion, friendship and so on."

Old Jackson nodded, "If that's the case, this movie is suitable for release in the Ice Empire Muelheim."

"Yes." Hill nodded. "On the other hand, I can use this movie to win over pirates... I think I need to contact the pirates and choose a suitable pirate group to be an actor."

Joan Baker: "Are you asking Jacob to contact?"

"No need for now," Hill said.

Joan Baker sensibly didn't ask any more, he was very clear about his position.

Hill actually didn't plan to discuss with them about the movie, only to inform. After finishing the topic again, he said: "Joan, please go to Theodore's, please bring my greetings to him personally."

Joan and Baker raised their eyebrows, "Okay."

After he left, Old Jackson said, "I know you have something to tell me alone, but you have no level with Baker's lie."

"The less level lies, the less people will expose it," Hill said.

"That's true." Old Jackson said.

"For example, you are so handsome, Duke Jackson." Hill continued.

Old Jackson stared at him imaginarily: "His Royal Highness Greenward, are you talking to us today mainly to test the endurance of your partners?"

"No." Hill said sincerely. "Please forgive me if you offend. I don't know why I am itching today."

"I suggest that we talk about business before I get angry." Old Jackson said, "although I feel like you have always been like this."

"I think your suggestion makes sense." Hill said, and then he started talking about the business: "At present, the Olivia restaurant is going well and the merchandise is selling well, but it doesn't meet my expectations."

"It's because there is no movie." Old Jackson hit the nail on the head, and then he said: "But it's a bit strange to get news of my daughter from you every time."

"Because the teleportation formation is in the Demon Realm," Hill said, and then he said enthusiastically, "Or you can also live in the Demon Realm, so that you can communicate with your daughter anytime and anywhere. And you see, the term Duke of Darkness is so much. Cool."

"...Stop making this kind of jokes, Your Royal Highness Greenward." Old Jackson shook his head, he was too helpless.

"I'm not kidding." Hill said.

"There are generally two kinds of people who can say such things. One is joking, and the other is saying that the other person is a fool." Old Jackson said, "His Royal Highness, which one do you choose?"

"I choose I am not human." Hill said.

"...Alright." The old Duke laughed helplessly. His Royal Highness Greenward is really funny.

"The best way you want to keep a secret is to publish it, because no one will believe it." Hill also laughed, "For example, I am a human, do you believe it?"

Old Jackson stared at him imaginarily: "His Royal Highness Greenward, human beings dare not climb you high."

"Hahaha okay, then continue to talk about business. When do you think the best time to show the movie?" Hill asked.

"I think it's almost done now." Old Jackson said, "Can the movie be modified?"

"Um, you can," Hill said.

"I suggest to play "The Evil Lord" and the pirate movie you want to make first." Old Jackson said, "Then play "Daughter of the Sea", and in the promotion it said "Daughter of the Sea" is a traditional story of the demons. ."

Hill nodded. He understood what the old Jackson meant, and first used the three parts here to grasp the audience's hearts, and the content of these three parts was relatively insensitive.

"Sensitive fragments of other movies are cut down as much as possible." Old Jackson continued.

Hill wanted to laugh a little, okay, for the trial, let's put the abridged version, which is a bit familiar: "Then, is there a way to infiltrate the Mülheim royal family?"

Old Jackson was stunned, and then said helplessly: "I'm just a duke of another country... Your expectations of me are too high..."

"Because you are a very good person," Hill said, "so I have unlimited expectations of you."

Hill's words are quite sincere.

This made old Jackson stunned for a second...very powerful person? Is that how the prince of the devil describes it?

There was still a sense of sadness in old Jackson's heart, and he nodded, "Let me think about it, I think there is always a way."

"Yeah." Hill nodded. "Then I've been busy making movies recently. Also, don't forget about charity."

"Good." Old Jackson said.

When Hill left, there was a little snow drifting outside. He took the umbrella from Jackson's servant, shook it and opened it, and then walked into the snowy long street alone under the umbrella. Old Jackson looked at his figure on the second floor, and then saw him turning around and lifting his hat to Old Jackson. When Old Jackson was about to respond to him, he found that his figure had been scattered into flying snowflakes. .

…Did you leave with magic? Old Jackson thought.

02.

After seeing old Jackson, Hill went to the Dark Vatican again, and the towns around the Dark Vatican looked quite shabby. How can this spread the faith? Hill shook his head, planning to finish the matter at hand and start the Black Cross as soon as possible. By the way, Princess Lydia can also be granted prestige. Old Jackson is very good, but he has the common problem of nobles: slow.

Hill took a short walk in the town. His clothes were more gorgeous than the people here. The poor looked at him with hollow eyes, and there was a man who seemed to have eyesight with a flattering smile. Come over, "Master, where do you come from? What can I do for you?"

"Give me a brief introduction to the situation here." Hill dropped a silver coin and only answered his last question.

The man suddenly smiled and talked about the famine here. I don't know why the land here can no longer grow crops. Most of the young and strong men have left here, and some are reluctant to leave home.

Hill knelt down and inspected the fields over there and found that it was contaminated by magic. The source of the pollution should be their dark Vatican, Khan. Hill had a little frustration, and at the same time he was more certain to hurry up for charity. Relief for work is fine.

Suddenly a mad woman ran by the river. She cried and yelled: "I didn't kill him. How could I kill my child? He really died at birth. He was chubby. It's wasted, really chubby, I didn't kill him!" She was talking back and forth, crying and laughing for a while.

Hill frowned.

The person next to her said with a flattering smile: "This woman is crazy now because she ate her newborn baby some time ago. My lord, I will blast her away."

"No," Hill said. "Where's her man?"

"She was the child born by a nearby robber Qiang Bao." The other party replied.

"I see." Hill waved his hand. "You go, I'll walk by myself."

"Good lord!" the man said.

Hill was not interested in asking his name from beginning to end.

When Hill walked alone for a while, when he was about to go to the Dark Vatican, that person appeared with a group of robbers before: "It's him! Masters! He is holding a lot of coins, and I hear the sound of coins." !"

The leading robber nodded in satisfaction, "Yes... it looks like a fat sheep indeed."

The robber next to him said, "Boss, I want his boots!"

"Fuck you, the boots belong to Lao Tzu!" another said.

The man who had betrayed Hill showed the same flattering smile at the bandit leader: "According to the promise, I will get five silver coins..."

The bandit leader smashed his mouth, "I hate you as a villain the most." After saying that, he slashed the man with a single knife.

Hill had just been watching all this with cold eyes, and wanted to laugh a little after seeing this scene.

"It looks like you are not very lucky today, sir." The bandit leader looked quite majestic when he said this.

"It looks like you are more unfortunate than me today." Hill shook his head.

Among the robbers, the black mist condensed into the figure of the death knight, and Monroe's red eyes exuded a terrible light.

He drew his long sword, and the terrible black mist seemed to wrap around it.

The long sword hummed like a greeting of death.

The snow is bigger.

Hill came to Monroe mainly to explain to him that he intends to develop church power overseas, but he did not expect to encounter such an episode. It is really dangerous for one or two people to walk outside alone these days, even the caravans of nobles are in danger of being looted. —Sometimes other lords acted as robbers. So for the nobles, the safest way to travel is by airship, or just stay at home and don't go out.

After seeing the miserable surrounding villages, Hill asked Monroe to pay more attention to the surrounding situation.

"I hope that the people in these villages will become dark believers." Hill said, "We also start to donate, and I will send specific materials from the teleportation array. By the way, the donors need half of humans and non-humans. , Let other people see us live in harmony."

Monroe nodded, "Excuse me, I have a question."

"Go ahead, I can't stop your mouth anyway." Hill said briskly.

Monroe stared at Hill for a while, and it was not until Hill felt empty that Monroe said, "This is not worth the gain."

Hill's first reaction was to stop Monroe's mouth. It took him a few seconds before he realized that Monroe said that it would not be worth the loss to subsidize the surrounding villages.

"Look far ahead, my friend." Hill said, "Population is the foundation." On the one hand, he moved his compassion, and on the other hand, he was spreading his faith.

Monroe thoughtfully.

"Besides, just look at the moment, you have lost a lot of supplies, but you also got my heart." Hill continued.

Monroe:? ? ?

Monroe: "...Okay."

#The person who is loyal to himself seems to be a fool how to break#

"And I think you want to save them too, don't you?" Hill continued to ask.

Monroe did not hesitate and said frankly: "During my tenure as the Dark Pope, if someone walks into the Holy See for help, I will accept them. I want to save everyone, but compared to them, your ideas are more important. . So I didn’t make any claims, but waited for your order.”

Hill likes Monroe like this, he has his own thinking and judgment, and he is also obedient enough.

"Next time you must not have too much scruples, I said, I will satisfy your various wishes, including the desire to be a good person and do good deeds. This is your right." Hill said.

"What if I do bad things?"

"There is no clear boundary between good and bad, but I know I am indulging you." Hill smiled.

"...I know," Monroe said, his eyes dark at the moment.

"Okay, it's time to send money to Emperor Magnolia, and then persuade him to rename the sea on the side of Josh Kenny to the Caribbean Sea. It's time to make a new movie." Hill stretched out. Not much to say vividly.

Previously, those movies were completely overhead times. Hill intends to move the background of "Pirates of the Caribbean" to this world, and most of the place names use the place names of this world to increase the sense of substitution.

The Plague Islands is a paradise for pirates. More than two hundred years ago, this is a rich and beautiful island that has been isolated from the world. Later, people from the Magnolia continent came here, and they were pleasantly surprised to find that there is a wealth of magic spar minerals here. What happens next can be imagined... Many of the aborigines here have become slaves, not the people of the Magnolia continent. The bacteria they brought infected the aboriginal people here. They obviously lacked resistance to these bacteria, so they died. Their bodies were not treated in time. In addition, the magicians of Magnolia Continent abused magic to mine ores and destroy them. The environment, coupled with the cross-infection of germs, formed a new virus...Here, a terrible plague began.

The plague lasted for many years before it stopped, because most people died. But it was useless here, because the magic spar minerals had been mined, so the Empire and the Church of Light abandoned it. Over time, it has become a paradise for pirates and lawbreakers. Very few of the aboriginal people here are still alive, but almost everyone of them has undergone mutations and possesses mysterious powers. Their power system is different from that of Magnolia, and is closer to the kind of witchcraft. It is said that they The power of the plague can be tried out, and the pirates are unwilling to provoke them.

Although the Devildom Mall was only opened in Magnolia City and Yosh Kenny, they were the two largest cities in the Magnolia Empire, so it was only natural to circulate them. At present, other cities in the Magnolia Continent also have some fragments of the first two volumes of "Makai Magazine" and "A Song of Ice and Fire", and the projection stone of "Natsume Friends' Tent" has also flowed out a little.

Pirates often do some trade with the aboriginal people of the Plague Islands. They will exchange some daily necessities, clothes and the like on the mainland for some herbs and poisons, or curse scrolls. Later, after the Demon World Mall appeared, some of the things in the mall also entered the scope of trading, but not many, because the things in the mall itself were very expensive.

The evil merchant Jacob took the ship of the female pirate Sarah to the Plague Islands. He was also accompanied by a few of his "friends", who were in fact members of the Dark Vatican. Jacob once again cursed the terrible sailing life, if it were not for the temptation of money, he would not want to set foot on the ship.

The islands also complained about the food and the storm, but at least they didn't complain about everything, because there were light music and Natsume accompanying them. Captain Sarah is so kind, and long live Captain Sarah. They thought. Many pirate ships do not have such benefits, and they know it.

When Jacob and Sarah were walking on the land of the Plague Island, Sarah also complained: "After eating the food in the Demon World Restaurant for more than a month, the food here is even more difficult to swallow." In fact, there is still another upset. Before she went to sea, she didn't recharge enough Demon Coins, which caused the card plot to get stuck now... and there was no signal, and there was no updated information about Love and Demon Race.

Jacob sighed: "It is indeed unbearable."

"But it's good to have something to eat." It doesn't matter whether the food has been eaten by rats, crawled by crawlers, whether there are molds, whether there are eggs... Many times for pirates, it is good to have food.

No matter how rich it is, there is no way. This humid and warm environment is totally unsuitable for food preservation.

It is true that some magicians in the pirates have been trying to maintain the ice cubes, but soon they lost their mana.

They know that they can put iron nails into the apple for one night, then pull out the nails and eat the apples so that they can replenish the iron. But the long sailing life will spoil the vegetables. When Hill heard this, he laughed and joked with the pirates he knew: "You can lick the captain's cat's fur. The cat relies on this to supplement calcium."

Everyone:? ? ?

"I used to feel that pirate life was very romantic." Jacob said.

"What about now?" the female pirate Sarah asked.

"It's hard to tell." Jacob said, "I think there are other ways, but many have many problems, such as your terrible food."

"If someone invents food that can be preserved for a long time, he will become the **** of pirates." Sarah said sincerely.

"I think too." Jacob nodded.

Devildom.

The first batch of cans were successfully produced with the efforts of the Black Dwarf and the Scientific Research Department.

The next step is to design and manufacture assembly line machines for mass production.

Milheim, the ice empire.

The Makai shopping mall restaurants are full to the point where there is a queue, and a lot of goods on the first floor are also sold.

"The Evil Lord" is being promoted and will be released soon.

Magnolia Empire.

The Necromancer Leona, the five ambassadors of the Dark Vatican, recommended the Deathbird Pirates to Hill. She said that she had a relationship with the captain of the Deathbird.

So Hill sent Leona to dock with Captain Rod to film "Pirates of the Caribbean" together.

Plague Islands.

Jacob recruited some locals and started to build the Devildom Mall.

The people of the Dark Vatican began to build churches there, preparing to spread their faith.

Everything is changing.

Everything is moving forward.

Hill walked out of the Blackrock Tower, and there was a heavy snowfall outside.

He opened his arms to embrace the demon world in the snow, with a smile of admiration, as if it were a gorgeous coronation.

Monroe stood beside him, watching him quietly.

"Very beautiful snow, isn't it?" Hill smiled and looked at Monroe.

"Happy New Year, Monroe."

"Happy New Year, Hill."

The new year is coming.
