Chapter 46 Poetry [VIP]
The acknowledgement lasts a total of three seconds.
The live broadcast was forcibly cut off the next second, indicating the end of the hunt.
The demons who were watching the results had mixed feelings.
The nobles who were still near the blood pool did not have time to think too much. The world before their eyes became distorted again. A white beam of light covered their heads. When they opened their eyes again, the demons had been teleported back to the palace.
The demon king sat back on his throne and spoke as if nothing had happened: "The banquet continues."
No one dared to disobey his words.
Lujia raised his eyebrows. It seemed that the Demon King was not so indifferent to the demons. At least he had concerns about bribing the half-blood demons, otherwise he would not have ended the live broadcast so quickly.
Everyone has his own ulterior motives.
The music flowed, the figures danced on the dance floor, smiles and courtesy returned to the faces of all the guests. In the seemingly harmonious scene, the gazes of most of the royal relatives were a little erratic, and no one knew what each other was thinking.
Princess Mary came to Alicia, with a hint of kindness in her stern expression: "Don't listen to the rumors outside."
"...You are a strong contender for the position of the future Demon King. If grandma really wanted to do that, the Demon King would have secretly stopped you long ago."
Otherwise, is it reasonable for a grandmother to take over her granddaughter's body and ascend to her son's throne?
Alicia nodded: "I know this is a divisive tactic."
She was only nine points skeptical at first, but now she was very sure.
This mad demon wants to take over my body.
On the other side, having successfully become the protagonist of the banquet, Luke drank a few more glasses of fruit wine and perfunctorily answered the guests who asked about the inside story of the blood pool.
More and more people came to inquire about the news about the Demon Ancestor. Finally, he became fed up with it and left early on the grounds of being drunk.
After walking for a long time along the maze-like underground passage, the guards on both sides did not move, as if they were nailed to the spot.
There were no guards at the end, so Luke pushed the door open.
A voice that could easily give the illusion of indifference came first: "Why is it taking so long?"
Lujia flapped her wings and her face turned a little red. The alcohol content of the fruit wine in the Holy Demon Continent is really high.
"Luckily you didn't follow me. The Demon King really did spy on me."
The feather pen's spiritual sense had been covering the vicinity and had already known about the baptism in the blood pool.
The appearance of the Demon Ancestor caused such a huge response that even the guards couldn't help but discuss it.
Luke tried to stretch, but ended up feeling even more tired: "If you want to wear the crown, you must carry the weight."
The quill had somehow turned into a human again, moved closer to him, and pressed lightly on the raised area on the man's spine with its black-gloved fingers.
The wings were a sensitive area, but the warmth that surged up his spine made Luke sigh in comfort.
Quill: "Follow the source of heat and cover your wings with the power of faith."
Lujia did as he was told, and golden light flowed along the tip of the wings, which were full of dark aesthetics yet retained a hint of absurd sacredness, moved. Soon, his control over his wings deepened.
"Finally put it in." Lujia stretched his sore shoulders and asked, "Will long-term use of wings cause cervical spondylosis or hunchback?"
Quill deadpanned, "You can use a depilatory to remove the feathers. They will be much lighter."
"Shut up!" Lujia almost jumped up and covered his mouth, the fact that the Demon Ancestor was bald kept appearing in his mind.
The wings blessed by the Demon Ancestor will not also inherit alopecia areata!
"If I become bald, I will stick you on my wings." Luke threatened viciously.
Quill did not struggle, but stood there and let him cover his mouth, the light from the end of his eyes sweeping across the corner of the table.
Luke looked over subconsciously and found a box wrapped in green satin on the table.
"What is this?" He walked over curiously, his palms feeling slightly cold.
The quill does breathe, but what it exhales is not hot air, but a thin layer of cold frost.
The quill said casually: "A gift, congratulations on your successful hunt."
Luke's throat moved. This was the first time he officially received a gift since coming to the other world.
I opened it with some excitement. The box was not big, and inside was a very thick notebook with a faint smell of ink wafting out.
It should have been written not long ago.
journal?
"There is some garbage in the books collected here, so I sorted it out and recorded it."
The feather pen said in a bad tone: "I don't want the students I teach to make theoretical mistakes."
Luke opened it and found that some of the knowledge points were different from what he remembered.
That’s so thoughtful.
Even for a great magician with a photographic memory, sorting out the errors in such a huge bibliography in a short period of time is a task that consumes patience and effort.
"I read two or three pages a day at most." Seeing that Luke couldn't let go of the feather pen, he should be considered to like this gift?
He reminded: "Some key characters are composed of inscriptions. After studying them thoroughly, you can become a master of all things."
The feather pen had calculated in advance that by the time Luke finished reading, it would be a snowy winter day.
That was around Luke's birthday.
By then, he will also discover the ultimate secret in the book.
Quietly gazing at the thin silhouette, Quill Pen's mind drifted away to who knows where.
"All things are withering, and the first snow is on the eaves..." A clear voice broke the brief silence.
Quill was startled.
"In the warm winter night, I see plum blossoms blooming under the eaves
Like you. ”
After Luke finished reading, he was stunned.
It has always been popular in the Holy Demon Continent to use flower personification to express love, so why does this read like a love poem?
The feather pen was even more surprised than him. Wasn't he told to read two or three pages a day? !
"Oh, I usually read the ending first."
As long as it is a book, even if it is an empty notebook, Luke will turn to the last page first.
This time is no exception.
The exception was that he noticed at a glance that there was a flower pattern similar to a wax seal at the bottom, and a short poem next to it.
The quill was silent.
After a long while, he said, "There's a blank page, so just write whatever you want to fill it up."
I've heard of adding orders together, but I've never heard of adding pages together.
Luke looked up curiously, his gaze turning to the quill.
The latter did not evade the question, but calmly and reluctantly changed the subject: "After the Demon King investigated you, did you take any other actions?"
The devil, this brick, has finally been moved to the place where he is needed.
When this was mentioned, Luke couldn't help but frown and recounted what happened in the blood pool in full: "I don't know what the devil is up to."
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he said to himself: "In fact, we can reverse it."
Luke quickly pulled a book from the shelf and wrote two lines on the thin page:
1. Unify the continent
2. Becoming a God
"These should be the two things the Demon King wants to achieve the most."
The strong pursue power, and the end of power is to become a god.
After staring at the paper and thinking for a while, Lujia solemnly drew a question mark on the second thing, "Will he see some kind of opportunity for breakthrough in me?"
The air was still filled with the faint aroma of fruit wine. Feather Pen found it hard to imagine that he could see the light even in his slightly tipsy state.
After staring at each other for a while, Lujia asked in confusion, "Why did you want to unify the continent in the first place?"
An unfortunate childhood, a broken family, or perhaps the darkening after the family was destroyed?
Quill: "The strength has arrived."
There are not so many reasons.
“……”Is it so unremarkable?
Quill asked, "You want to test the devil?"
Luke: "I already have an idea, but there's no rush."
His world does not revolve around the devil, he has his own rhythm.
"Time is precious and time is precious," Luke whispered to him. Suddenly, the fruity aroma became stronger.
After saying this, he curled his lips proudly and said, "I want to maximize the benefits of hunting back."
The hunting trip is over, some are happy while others are sad.
The birthday of the winner of the hunt was broadcasted in real time throughout the Demon Realm. There was no need for newspapers at all. Almost every demon watched the scene.
Demon Ancestor.
These two words naturally come with terrifying traffic and discussion.
The scene where Luke communicates with the consciousness of the Demon Ancestor and grows wings would be as valuable in modern times as the brief resurrection of Qin Shihuang in front of everyone and bestowing a tiger talisman on a child to guard the human race in the future.
The shock and popularity of this incident can definitely paralyze the Internet.
Countless demons wanted to know more about the inside story, but Lujia, as a marketing guru, used to appear on newspaper headlines every now and then, but suddenly disappeared at this time!
No acceptance speeches, no works.
Everyone is waiting anxiously, what is going on?
Prince Nottingham, who is always shrewd and calculating, is a little uncertain. Those who don't play by the rules are the most troublesome.
Other princes also arrived in the capital in recent days and, as usual, discussed the specific content of the hunting rewards.
"Iliad has no army, and he can't keep the fiefdom even if he is given it. Why not convert it into gold coins?"
The demon on the opposite side smiled and said, "The fiefdom should still be given, but I think we need to consider the resources. He has already absorbed most of the energy in the blood pool."
"I agree, how about 100 million gold coins?"
"It's a bit shabby, 200 million gold coins."
"Let's compromise, 150 million gold coins."
You talk and I talk, the Demon Realm has always been at odds with each other, and in the end, no unity was reached. The question was put aside for the time being. Notting suddenly looked at the Demon King who had been sitting silently and asked about Luke's recent situation.
"The Demon Ancestor incident has caused a lot of controversy, and everyone wants to hear what Iliad has to say in person."
The devil had been listening nonchalantly, and asked, "He never showed up?"
You, your own father, don’t even know, how dare you ask me?
Prince Notting shook his head respectfully.
The Demon King did not blame Luke for what he did when he heard this. He seemed to be in a good mood: "He is probably busy practicing."
According to the child's personality, the more he showed that he valued it, the more he would worry that there were other reasons behind letting it go.
Faced with uncertainty and worry, Iliad will definitely try every possible way to improve his strength.
Now no one wants the other party to practice hard with all his strength more than he does.
Prince Notting below shuddered inexplicably when he saw the dark and deep blood-red eyes.
The last time the Demon King showed this kind of expression was when he adopted several crown princes, causing conflicts among the princes.
The discussion about rewards has not been decided yet and has been postponed to tomorrow. In the afternoon, the princes will go to the Hall of Heroes as usual to pay their respects and comfort their old subordinates.
The highest-ranking demons in the Demon Realm were traveling, and the ceremonial procession was extremely high, with the Blood Demon Guards personally leading the way.
Just within ten thousand meters of the palace, the Demon King suddenly raised his hand and frowned.
The animal cart stopped.
The billboard below was cast with a special magic, and the screen was quite large, large enough to clearly see Luke holding a jar with his eyes narrowed and a look of intoxication on his face.
Thousands of feet away, the words on the newspaper not far away are smaller than an ant.
"Iliad's sky-high endorsement fee revealed! 》
[His Highness Iliad won the favor of the Demon Ancestor by returning to the hunt, and his status in the demon world has risen recently. It is reported that the Aisiqili Dairy Company invited him to be the spokesperson for the demon, and the publicity fee may reach a nine-digit sky-high price...]
This is not an isolated case.
In another magazine report, it was mentioned that Luca was the spokesperson for the Shenlu Hair Conditioner, which also cost nine figures.
There is a barber shop nearby that has launched the latest package. With a one-time recharge of 999 gold coins, you can unlock the same hairstyle as the Demon Ancestor for free.
The devil swept his divine sense and found at least several outrageous advertisements.
He glanced into the darkness, and the Blood Demon Guard understood and went over to inquire about the situation.
After a while, the Blood Demon Guard came back and reported, "It was indeed His Highness Iliad. He has accepted dozens of product promotions and has been shooting promotional videos day and night for the past two days."
All ads just happened to be launched today.
The demon king's eyes darkened.
You shoot videos day and night, so you don't practice at all?
All the princes similarly failed to control their facial expressions.
Even if you have a mountain of gold and silver, when you think about making hundreds of millions by shooting an advertisement, and the other party has also taken on dozens of product promotions, you can't help but say that you can make money from anything.
Then why did they come all the way here just to discuss the remaining hunting rewards?
Three melons and two dates!
Unlike the prince's crazy complaints, Luke never forgets the mass line. The distant Klin sentry tower had already received a letter with only a short sentence on it:
I support you by selling my smiles!
Luke used the endorsement fees paid in advance to hire a large number of skilled craftsmen. The craftsmen had arrived at the Klin Watchtower carrying their tools a day ago and quickly started working.
According to Luke's request, construction of the gate and the school began first.
When the city gate took shape, all the Klin demons, who had been living with sand and blood all day, stopped what they were doing. Even the drunken old demons who often fought turned their attention here.
hope.
The city gate is the biggest face project of a city. When it was reshaped, the demons saw hope.
The captain of the guard on the sentry tower was a little stunned: "He really did it."
Not only did they do it, but they also fulfilled their promise in a very short time.
Coming back to his senses, the captain of the guard suddenly shouted, "Iliad!"
A single stone caused a thousand waves, and the city was filled with boiling cheers.
"Iliad!"
…
“Such a pure return of faith.”
In the royal capital, Luke, who had finally finished his advertising campaign, suddenly felt a huge influx of faith.
He guessed it was related to transferring money.
Luke previously divided the endorsement fee into two parts. One part was sent directly to the dragon clan by the merchant to speed up the construction of the tourist city. He didn't know that the dragons such as Berlani were quite pleased about this.
Who understands the joy of children giving pocket money to their parents?
The other part is naturally used for the Klin watchtower.
When you see a virtuous person, you should strive to be like him.
The feather pen said, "So this is how people's hearts are bought."
Luke nodded: "Yes, it costs money."
If it doesn’t cost money, who would be willing to serve you every day?
Quill couldn't help but recall his dark years and felt that his failure was understandable.
On any other day, Lujia would have made some sarcastic remarks, but when he saw the notes that he had put so much effort into organizing beside him, he was speechless.
"The first draft of the banned book must be finalized quickly."
After the hunt was over, when he asked for a reward, he specifically emphasized that future works must be freely circulated in Demon Realm, and since the book "My Demon Father" was pre-sold, Demon Realm could justifiably ban it.
Having an officially banned book helps maximize visibility.
That's the real powder.
"But even so, the faith that can be passed on to me is not enough."
It’s the same principle as leveling up in a game. After you’ve practiced through the middle stage, the experience bar for each subsequent level will need increasingly terrifying numbers.
"Whether it's faith or the negative emotions you need, they are both bottomless pits." Luke said, "We must expand our base."
Relying solely on newspapers and word of mouth is ultimately too slow.
When he asked a question in a firm tone, he often already had the answer.
Quill asked, "What do you want to do?"
This time, Lu Jia barely thought about it and uttered three words very solemnly: "Internet."
In the era of information explosion, the best channel is undoubtedly the Internet.
Just thinking of these three words, he couldn't help but feel ripples in his heart.
Any modern person who travels through time will miss the Internet age immensely.
Just a few months ago, as a useless magician who couldn't even get enough food to eat, I had some thoughts but was not qualified to think deeply about them. Things are different now. Luke has accumulated a certain amount of financial resources and connections, and is absolutely capable of development.
He is none other than the first generation internet celebrity!
Hearing the new and unfamiliar words, Feather Pen gradually became interested: "What is a net? Why haven't I seen it in books?"
Lujia said simply: "It is equivalent to a virtual platform where everyone can transmit and share resource data."
He had majored in a related subject in college and was familiar with some basic principles, but it was a pity that it was a fantasy for him to invent something.
Fortunately, this is a magical world and there are alternatives everywhere.
All you need to do is introduce a concept, build a basic platform, and then recruit talent to usher in a period of rapid and vigorous development.
Quill thought about it again and again, and vaguely felt that this was a very grand plan.
"Are you sure you want to build it publicly? In fact, it would be very effective if it was used secretly during combat."
Luke: “…”
The Internet was indeed originally created for military needs.
He said: "Long live peace."
After he finished speaking, he sat cross-legged on a stool and thought, and soon he began to feel troubled.
The problem of the login program is easy to solve, but the difficult part is that he needs to find a computer cluster that can perform similar networked data interaction.
Catching a glimpse of Quill's half-smile, Luke raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do you have a solution?"
Quill said calmly: "I have an idea, but there is no way."
Seeing that he was still trying to disguise himself, Luke spread out his wings and poked that side with the tip of his wings. I learned the method I used on Dragon Island: "Brother, teach me."
The quill was numb again.
He tried to keep his voice steady: "Why don't you ask an astrologer?"
Astrologers have a unique advantage when it comes to divination opportunities.
Luke blinked, came back to his senses and clapped his hands: "Yes!"
Astrologers are treated with respect everywhere in the Holy Demon Continent, which shows that they have real skills.
Hearing that the greatest astrologer of the time was in the holy city, Luke was not confident enough that he would be received by the other party for no apparent reason. First go to the saint, and then through the saint see if you can visit the astrologer.
"As expected, you have to find connections wherever you go."
Before that, he had a few minor troubles.
"I'm very popular right now. The other crown princes are all watching me. I also have to be on guard against Princess Mary's second assassination attempt. I don't know what the Demon King is planning either."
Luke analyzed the situation methodically without frowning once.
At this juncture, it is difficult to leave the Demon Realm smoothly.
He resumed his thinker's posture, and after a moment, he laughed out loud with great power.
"You go pack your luggage, I'll go prepare a small gift for the Demon King."
Since they have left, they will always create some trouble for those who stay.
The author has something to say:
Excerpt from Luke's diary:
The wing care guide says that you should massage regularly to relax and relieve multi-elemental forces. Where can you find a nurse?
Also, it's weird.
Why do books like The Wing Care Guide exist? I always feel the handwriting is quite new.
