Chapter 91 New Release

=======================

The devil wanted to respond, but the conditions did not allow it.

In the past, no one dared to gossip. But as the wanted order was issued for a long time, the authority of the devil in the hearts of the people plummeted.

Some do it to make money, some do it to attract attention. Recently, there are countless people who anonymously claim to be the devil on the Internet.

In the shadows, the devil's always bloodshot eyes were staring at the ants on the ground.

A perfectly handsome face, now filled with a serious and cold look.

"The altar."

Just seconds before his good wife died, she actually left him with a big problem.

The fingers holding the storage ring exerted pale force until they were completely bent. The devil seemed to have made a decision, with a cruel smile on his face.

After a moment, he disappeared into space again.

On the roadside, the people who were talking earlier turned into blood mist.

----

"The latest news is that the Demon King is suspected to have appeared in Ata City." The news was brought by Alicia.

Luke thought for a moment and looked sideways at the ferret.

After attending the celebration banquet, the snow ferret had not yet left. Upon hearing this, it scratched with its claws like a rainbow, and a few lines of words appeared in the air:

[The aura on the chess piece was suppressed by his magic power, but there is a critical point. The harder it is suppressed, the harder it will be to dispel after it explodes. 】

“How long will the critical point be?”

【Two months.】 】

Luke nodded, not too long.

He also hoped that the dwarf chief could give him good news in advance so that he could use the mandarin duck jade pendant to kill the demon king by surprise.

The ferret gestured twice with its paw.

Luke smiled and said, "Don't worry. He is seriously injured, exhausted, and has to worry about the sacrifice. How can he have time to pay attention to such details?"

I'm afraid that at this moment the devil is feeling a mixture of love, hate and anger towards the saint.

Snow Ferret thought about it and agreed, it was a blind spot in thinking.

If Luke hadn't been "pitifully" searching for his mother's belongings immediately after the war, they wouldn't have considered this.

"The wanted order has produced a good effect." Alicia stood aside and suddenly asked, "Do you want to see it?"

What are you looking at? Luke was curious.

Soon, they arrived at a nearby central city through the teleportation array.

"This is the jurisdiction ruled by Prince Claren." Alicia pointed to the newest landmark building ahead.

The tall statue was seen leaning sideways, with the corners of its mouth tilted up and its hand extended forward, as if a WeChat businessman was saying "come".

Because the statue is relatively thin and does not appear to be shocking, the creator also specially carved a cloak from stone that flies up like the corners of the mouth.

Luke was about to be blown away.

"What's this?"

You tell me what this is!

Alicia's tone was full of complexity and envy: "The original statue of the Demon King was replaced by yours. Claren showed his sincerity with his actions."

Statues are a must-have item for representatives of the big clans in the Holy Demon Continent.

Lujia looked at the quill that had been silently guarding behind him, and stretched out his hand tremblingly: "Help me go back."

Quill helped him into the teleportation array with concern.

Alicia stayed where she was and continued to admire the statue.

For the next period of time, Luke enjoyed both the rewards and the demons' growing faith.

Every time the Tree of Wisdom digests some of the energy left over from the Tree of Life, he benefits from it.

However, because of the need to purify and liberate the souls of the dead, the speed at which the Tree of Wisdom repays its debts has been slowed down.

Luke looked inward at the little golden man in his body that was almost completely lit up, and the corners of his mouth... thought of the statue, and his mouth corners rose up and then fell down.

He tried his best to divert his attention. Great! He was only one step away from becoming a god.

Then the corners of his mouth curled up again.

"Klaren, that bastard."

Luke gritted his teeth. How could he look at himself straight in the face in the future?

Quill didn't say anything, but just patted Luke's back gently to calm him down.

The terminal suddenly vibrated.

Karen sent a message: [Did you see the statue? That gentleman said he wanted to give you a surprise, so he borrowed some skilled craftsmen from me. 】

The dwarves have been busy producing headphones recently and have no time to build statues, so good craftsmen can only be loaned out to the Guild of Commerce.

The hand that was writing the quill paused as it was easing its breath.

Luke stared at the terminal screen, not knowing how much time had passed before he slowly raised his head.

It suddenly occurred to him that someone seemed too silent recently.

The air was eerily quiet for a moment.

Knowing that he couldn't escape, Quill confessed: "When you were in the Stone City, you envied the statues on the roadside many times."

Originally, he wanted to give them a surprise, so he strongly asked these princes and nobles to express their opinions, and put forward strict requirements to the designer:

1. It can reflect a sense of closeness to the people.

2. Have a feeling of being tall and looked up to.

3. Be cool and unrestrained enough to stand out from the crowd.

Feather Pen later said, "Actually, all the conditions are met. I think it's not bad."

Luke stood up, stood in front of him, and made a gesture of extending his hand.

Quill turned his head in a second.

Luke: "Look straight at me."

Look straight at me! OO

Feather pen: “…”

He really couldn't help it, he laughed out loud with his eyes lowered and his shoulders trembling slightly.

No matter what, the statue is an absolute symbol of status, demonstrating Luke's prestige in the Demon Realm.

After the celebration banquet, many fiefdoms began to issue new decrees, and the privileges of the nobility became a mere formality.

The nobles of the human race were shocked again and again. It was rumored that the saint wanted to abolish the aristocratic system, and everyone strongly demanded that Lujia take side.

As a result, the other party turned around and cut off the demon clan's privileges, which was even more swift and decisive than a saint.

"It was a close call. If he really represented it, we would probably all be starving now."

At the end of May, Luke announced the date of the first Calais Film Festival, adding some attractive rewards to the original rewards.

The nobles don't have much time to grieve. The Rhine Trading Company has begun to invest frequently in building cinemas in various places, and the nobles are also eager to cooperate with some ordinary talented people.

It's easy to make a movie, but it's hard to find a good plot. Generally, only ordinary people have the time to study storybooks.

The profession of screenwriter came into being out of necessity.

Luca specifically postponed the film festival for a few months just to wait for more works.

Less than a week later, in early June, the headphones were officially launched.

The inscriptions developed by Luke's team were made by the dwarves themselves. Just these two gimmicks are enough to make you go for it without any hesitation.

For the first time, some shops in front of the street tried to play music to attract customers.

During a private investigation, I found that the streets were filled with the hustle and bustle of life, with demons coming and going. For a moment, Luke felt as if he was in another world, as if he was standing on the streets of modern times again.

The sudden realization between his eyebrows fell into Feather Pen's eyes.

"When your consciousness becomes more vast, I will make a puppet. With a wisp of consciousness covering it, you can temporarily travel to other planes."

Luke was a little surprised: "Really?"

Quill: "But you will soon be rejected by the world consciousness of other planes, and will be struck by lightning and sent back in a short time."

Luka felt very disappointed. Wasn't there a more decent way to go?

After a round of visits, we confirmed that more and more vendors of different races were gathering in the safe zone. Everything was just like the upcoming summer, hot and scorching.

Since he had an interview in the afternoon, Luke didn't hang around for too long and arrived at the interview room on time.

Some large ethnic groups are actively preparing for their own news broadcasts. In order to make overseas information more accurate, it is necessary to establish closer ties between ethnic groups.

They came here to discuss this matter.

Now that I'm here, I naturally have to interview the young devil who has risen to power in the eyes of the public.

The entire interview topic included the future expansion of the safe zone and cultural and entertainment construction policies, but later on, the questions gradually went off track.

A war correspondent who was ready to anger Luke and go down in history asked, "Next month, cinemas across the country will officially open for business. It is said that a large number of new films will be released on that day. Everyone is very concerned. Will you have a new film released by then?"

Lillian, who was waiting in the back row, desperately winked at Luke, signaling him not to respond directly.

In fact, this issue has already sparked heated discussions on the Internet.

Everyone wants to become famous overnight, and pulling others down is the most direct way to do that.

Obviously, Luke had nothing to do with this matter, but he was forced to be included in the discussion group to discuss whether he would participate in this box office competition.

Even during the interview, there were still netizens asking about this matter under Luke's social account.

[Can some of you please calm down? Why would a successful and famous magician want to join in on this kind of fun? 】

[…It won’t take long to shoot a movie, so I wonder if you’re afraid. 】

[The above is really brave, not afraid of being [菜刀][菜刀][菜刀]]

[To be honest, even for Lord Luke, it would be difficult to surpass his past self. "Forging the God" was his peak, and "The True and False Young Master" benefited from the 3D special effects. 】

Is that my former self? It's clearly me a few months ago [push 3D glasses][Devil King Saint's]]

The Rhine Chamber of Commerce "purchased" the right to use the Holy See portrait from the prisoners of war and created a series of emoticons.

The Holy Court has become a deeply rooted villain in the entertainment industry.

…

Due to Luke's current status and strength, the discussion is currently being relatively tactful, but there are also some sharp voices.

Luke responded calmly: "I'll consider it."

The reporter was stunned. No, do you really dare to take pictures?

After the interview, Lillian explained to the team and caught up with Luke: "That was an orc just now. The orcs are reckless, otherwise they wouldn't have offended the Elf King before. They are likely to take my words out of context!"

"...From what I know, there are currently suspense films, documentaries, and one with special effects comparable to Forging the Gods. The quality is really good."

Luke nodded nonchalantly, seemingly not taking it to heart.

Seeing that Lillian had no intention of returning to the team for the time being, he invited her to sit in the reception room.

"You made this special trip, so it must be more than just for the interview."

Lillian nodded and said briefly, "I'm sending you a message on behalf of the city lord. The saint has gone to see a fortune teller."

Luke was curious: "And then?"

Fortune tellers are usually only good at predicting fate and chance, and it is impossible for them to predict the whereabouts of the devil.

"I don't know how they did it specifically, but the saint went to a place and found a gathering place for the remnants of the curse masters. When the saint arrived, no one was left."

Spell caster? Luke recalled the curse he suffered during the war, and his eyes gradually became cold.

The sorcerer probably did not escape, but was taken as a sacrifice by the devil.

In a sense, if there is a living sorcerer, he is indeed suitable for sacrifice.

The sound of hurried footsteps outside interrupted Luke's thoughts.

Alicia seemed to be pretending to be calm, but when she saw there were other guests, she subconsciously shut up.

Luke indicated that he could just say it directly.

Alicia: "I've been busy hunting down your grandma these days."

Luke: “It’s your grandma.”

Lillian: "..." What's there to be modest about?

"At first, I couldn't find Princess Mary's whereabouts. I thought she had escaped with her men."

Alicia took a deep breath and said, "Until this morning, one of my men learned from a passing griffin that screams seemed to be heard from Princess Mary's mansion on the day she disappeared."

It is unlikely that so many demon generals can disappear silently, unless there are contractual restrictions.

The death squad and demon guards who are protecting Princess Mary now were all arranged by the former demon king.

Lu Jia asked in a deep voice: "When did Princess Mary disappear?"

"When I heard the news of the fall of the Holy See, I immediately led my troops there, but she had already disappeared."

Lujia immediately made an almost certain judgment that the Demon King came to the Demon Realm first after escaping. After his parents offered sacrifices to the heavens, he also sacrificed the Demon General. Not long ago, the other party found the remnants of the sorcerer and performed a second sacrifice.

The terminal vibrated several times.

Luke's expression softened after receiving the news from the dwarf chief.

The restoration progress of the mandarin duck jade pendant has reached 90%.

Lillian was very observant and said, "Is there any good news?!"

"I guess so. Anyway, don't worry too much."

Luka added: "Don't worry about the box office, I'm going to make an animated film."

"ah?"

Lillian didn't understand what a cartoon was. Alicia suddenly heard the unfamiliar word and became subconsciously curious.

"The target audience is children." Lu Jia said slowly, "It's mainly a warm and touching film. Parents will take their children to watch it, and the minimum purchase price is two tickets. Even if they choose other movies, if they find that there are some suitable movies for children after watching them, they will most likely buy tickets specifically for them."

"Because it is aimed at the younger market, the public will subconsciously only regard it as a non-competitive reference. For example, 'it's not as good as the cartoons', but will not refer to it in the opposite direction."

Do you understand the charm of Xiong X every year? The starting price is for a family of three.

Luka said, and calmly tied on a beautiful apron woven with magic: "Anyway, what do I have to lose."

“…”

After a long while, Lillian asked, "Why are you wearing an apron?"

"To prevent ink from bleeding."

After saying that, Lujia violently tore open the space and left. He found a feather pen near the dwarf factory, smiled and stretched out his hand: "Look at me."

Go back to your original form, Quill!

Let’s work together on a Q-version cub cartoon to commemorate our past.

Feather pen: “…”

The aprons come in six colors: orange, yellow, green, indigo, blue and purple, but the only color missing is red.

Feather Pen's eyelids twitched slightly. Was he waiting for me to vomit?

Rainbow Advocate Jia hooked his outstretched finger.

Seeing his eyes like a crescent moon, full of smiles, Feather Pen's heart suddenly softened.

[Modi Literature] It’s been a long time since I last appeared on the stage. When the dignified Necromancer realized this, he almost got goosebumps.

In the end, there was no surprise at all. A minute later, the boy held the pen and wrote, and the pen became slightly hot.

The breeze outside the window brought the fragrance of flowers, and when it blew across the paper, a lifelike and majestic image of a monkey appeared on it.

I originally thought that Lujia would be a direct adaptation of "The Three-and-a-half-Year-Old Group Pet", but when I saw that it was a monkey, I was a little uncomfortable.

Luke: "I just scared you."

I deliberately wore an apron to tease the other person, and secretly took a picture of Feather Pen's expression at the time. I turned around and stood side by side with my own statue of outstretched hand, and we all went into dark history together.

After drawing a few pictures, the quill felt strangely interesting.

From the smoothness of the pen, Luke could guess what Quill was thinking, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Who can resist "Journey to the West"?

Each character has its own characteristics, there is Tang Monk who is designed to be made of elixir, Sun Wukong who has not been deified even in the Internet age, Marshal Tianpeng who was once handsome but later turned into Zhu Bajie... Monk Sha who can fight with anyone and so on.

Suitable for all ages, always new to watch.

"This is one of the four great classics."

Its copyright has entered the public domain, so just indicate the author's information.

The journey to obtain the true scriptures has been deeply interpreted by scholars as a journey in pursuit of truth, and it can also form a small closed loop with the ideas expressed in "Forging the Spirit".

It took Quill a few seconds to react and realize that Luke was talking about other worlds where he had lived.

In the past, he would avoid asking, fearing that Luke would feel a sense of emptiness from being away from home.

At this moment, the other party took the initiative to bring it up, and Feather Pen followed up by asking.

Luke was silent for a moment and stopped painting.

He looked out the window, and after a moment, he slowly described a world that did not contain any magic, but was equally bizarre and full of lights and feasting.

Quill listened quietly.

In the gentle and complex description, he tried to peek into the trajectory of the child who refused to accept his fate.

Luke adjusted his mood quickly and picked up his paintbrush again soon.

Feather Pen is confident that this should be a thrilling and exciting story. After all, there is a monkey with a ceiling of combat power, and the team members seem to be very complementary.

With this lineup, what's the point of being upset?

The morning passed quickly, and in the afternoon Luke specially invited the dwarf tribe leader to come over.

Because of the orders to repair the jade pendant and headphones, this race has been so busy lately that they don't even have time to be jealous of others.

The dwarf chieftain glared at Luke, saying that he'd better have something important to talk to him about.

"I have a new product that I want to find you guys."

Upon hearing about the new product, the dwarf chief's eyes lit up, but soon became suspicious: "You didn't lie to me?"

He heard from Nellie that the other party was currently working on some kind of animation.

"The cartoon is just an introduction to open up other markets," Lujia said without going into details. He took out the terminal and said, "Wait a minute. I have an appointment with the Elf King."

After the remote gathering, he did not forget to bring Karen along for this business trip and sent a message early in the morning.

As luck would have it, Karen had to go to the military headquarters later to promote the latest weapons and had already made an appointment.

He didn't want to miss this opportunity, but he couldn't suggest delaying the meeting for his own sake.

Luke helped to achieve the best of both worlds: "Just go to the military headquarters and leave us a photo."

The important thing is to participate.

Moving the vases and snacks off the desk, Karen solemnly put down a large photo frame.

————

A week after the video conference, Luke also became very busy.

Market research, inscription research, and finding time to care about the whereabouts of the Demon King, all things piled up together.

Speaking of the Demon King, apart from the disappearance of Princess Mary and a group of demon generals, there has been no news of him since the city of Ata.

When the Demon Realm is thriving, there seems to be an undercurrent lurking in the dark that could erupt at any time.

The hot topics of public concern change every day. Just as the topic of what Luke is going to shoot became a hot search, the cinema announced that it would open a week earlier.

When Leo came to see Luke, the latter was busy editing anime.

His golden pupils suddenly lit up, and the painting style was bright and vivid, and every palm-sized character in it was very interesting to look at.

Of course, Leo's favorite is the mutant cub.

Luke knew it well.

Let’s admit it, dragons love cute things in their bones.

After admiring it for a while, Leo got down to business: "The saint contacted the dragon clan and wanted us to help him keep an eye out for some of the cinemas."

The early release was intentional, and secret teleportation arrays were set up in various theaters so that if the devil chooses this day to cause trouble, support can arrive at any time.

Luke paused for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Will the devil really come this day?"

Leo shook his head: "I can't say."

If it is a saint, she should, as people in the Holy Court pay attention to rituals. As for the Demon King, there is a lot of uncertainty.

The big hand touched Lujia's head and said, "Just focus on preparing for the release."

By then, the dragon clan will book the entire place, one dragon per courtyard, and they will be able to carry out surveillance and guarding with justification.

Luke: “…”

After much persuasion, he finally convinced the other party to give up the idea of ​​booking all the cinemas.

In the next half month, Luke was busy day and night, and the progress of the animation changes was rapid.

Just before he was about to lose his sense of time, he looked up to the sky, let out a long breath, and fell asleep.

Quill caught it in time and carried the person to the bed.

It was a hot summer day, and the necromancer's body temperature was like the best regulator. Luke leaned over unconsciously and rubbed against him twice under the familiar breath.

"Caught up!" he murmured unconsciously.

With only one night left before the new cinema was to open, it was finally completed.

The rubbed feather pen: “…” It’s terrible.
