Chapter 2 New Diplomatic Methods

Before Qiao Xiu's plan to make a movie in another world was put on the agenda, a water elemental servant hurriedly ran to Qiao Xiu's side.

This water elemental servant has the appearance of a human woman, but the surface of the skin has a liquid texture.

"Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, the master has summoned you to the guard room." Her voice sounded emotionless.

"Got it."

There is only one master in this castle, and that is the father of this demon prince.

Qiao Xiu didn't expect that he would meet with the ruler of this world so soon...

Following the route he remembered, Qiao Xiu spent ten minutes walking through the castle with a complex internal structure and came to a gate that exuded an ominous aura.

Qiao Xiu walked directly into it, and the space in the corridor was amazingly large, with statues more than ten meters high standing one after another on both sides.

These statues are of different shapes, and the characters depicted are all Chaos Demons of the same race as Qiao Xiu.

Each statue is a king who has ruled the land for generations, and perhaps the demons living in the Demon Realm do refer to them as 'kings'.

It's just that these kings have a private name for themselves, and that is 'caretakers'.

It looks unpretentious, but it is an ancient name.

Qiao Xiu didn't know what the meaning of this title was, but it was recorded that the history of the 'caretakers' had been passed down from generation to generation, and it has continued to this day.

And Qiao Xiu's father, the Lord of the Demon Realm, Nordlein, is the current 'caretaker'.

Qiao Xiu walked through the corridor where the ancestors had sheltered and came to an empty hall.

The decoration is also very simple, not at all in line with the 'king's palace', except for the stone mounds that look like an altar at the end, there is not even a throne.

Qiao Xiu's eldest brother, second sister, and fourth sister had all arrived in this hall, and they were standing in front of the altar.

The solemn atmosphere filled every inch of air here, and Qiao Xiu's brothers and sisters didn't even glance at Qiao Xiu, but only left a place between the second and fourth sisters, which was obviously reserved for Qiao Xiu.

Following the customs, Qiao Xiu stood in front of the altar like his brother and sister, and looked at the back facing the altar.

"Knox, Cecili, Joshy, Fuya."

An oppressive voice pronounced four names in turn.

"Thirty years... I know that this is not even enough time for you to become adults, but it is also enough for you to mature. ”

The lifespan of the Chaos Demon is the shortest among all the races in the Demon Realm, and it is only more than two hundred years, which can be said to be the same as the humans in this world.

However, twenty years old is still in the youth stage for the Chaos Demons, Qiao Xiu is only seventeen years old this year, and his sister Fuya is even younger, only fourteen years old, even if this age is placed in the human world, it belongs to the kind that is sentenced to 'three years to start, the highest death penalty'.

"Father, do you have anything you need to command?"

A majestic and powerful voice came from Qiao Xiu's side, it was the voice of Qiao Xiu's eldest brother Knox, as the eldest son of Knox, of course, he was a general who crisscrossed the battlefield, ruling thousands of troops and guarding the border fortress.

It is a setting that Qiao Xiu expected.

"I've decided to choose the next caretaker among you in two years' time."

The moment Nordleine said this, the atmosphere that was already extremely serious suddenly became tense.

What does the next caretaker mean? That is, the next Lord of the Demon Realm.

The drama of succession to the throne and power, Qiao Xiu felt that there was no need to repeat it too much, whether it was in the medieval history of Europe or Asia, the struggle for the throne was always a theme that would never end.

One of the most famous in China was the usurpation of the Cao family by the Sima family, which ended the chaotic Three Kingdoms period and established the Jin dynasty, and on the European side, Richard III backstabbed his nephew Edward to succeed him as king of England.

In short, there is history about the throne, which is always bloody.

Qiao Xiu could think that from now on, his brothers and sisters would definitely start stabbing each other, so ......

"Please allow me to withdraw from my candidacy for the Caretaker's succession."

Qiao Xiu said loudly to the current Lord of the Demon Realm.

"Oh? Qiao Xiu, don't you aspire to have the status of a caretaker? ”

The status of the king? To rule the entire Demon Realm, to be able to have everything in the Demon Realm, can decide the lives of tens of millions of people with just one sentence.

It does sound wonderful, and the right thing is wonderful, but only if it's a life to enjoy!

To put it bluntly, Qiao Xiu can't win his eldest brother and second sister at all, and even the fourth sister can't win, but may become the first victim of this imperial order.

This is not the earth, everyone is a human being, since the words are not compatible, it is a big deal to take a sword and a gun to fight each other, and the difference in physical fitness will not be so big, it is very fair.

But this is a different world, a different world with magic.

The third prince has put all his talents on 'invention and creation', and his individual strength is the weakest of the four siblings, and even the weakest fourth sister can tear countless of himself.

The power thing that falls into the hands of the weak is nothing more than a one-way ticket to hell.

And compared to the right thing, Qiao Xiu prefers some spiritual satisfaction, in his previous life, Qiao Xiu worked part-time as the 'rich second generation' and 'official second generation', which are jealous of the identity, but Qiao Xiu never thought about inheriting any family business, 'traveling thousands of miles to Tibet by riding', 'drifting in Germany for three days and three nights to participate in the Cologne Game Show' and so on... and so on, the kind of things that only stupid literary and artistic youths do, Qiao Xiu has basically done it.

"No, I've found a higher ideal, so let me say no."

Qiao Xiu has decided to go to the sea to enter the film and television and game industry, doing such a tiring thing as a king, his eldest brother, second sister or fourth sister, whoever likes to do it, go and do it.

"Higher ideals?"

The Lord of the Demon Realm, Nortline, stared at Qiao Xiu for a long time, and then he gave a new order.

"Noggs, Cecily, Fuya... You can leave first. ”

Could it be that you really want to force yourself to be king? Qiao Xiu suddenly thought of some traditional chicken soup stories, and there are also such stories of the king choosing several of his own heirs as heirs, and the last successful successor to the throne is always the youngest son who is the least favored.

Cause? There are many, what kind of ghosts, kindness, tolerance and other noble qualities, but Qiao Xiu feels that these are all farts, at least in this world, people who are incapable cannot bear the weight of the identity of 'king'.

Qiao Xiu now has a sense that he is the 'lucky little son'.

The siblings were all gone, and only Joshua and Notline were left in the entire hall.

"Take it easy, don't be inhibited." Notleine said.

At this time, Qiao Xiu saw the appearance of this Lord of the Demon Realm clearly, he was very old... Some messy beards and wrinkles on his cheeks formed the first impression of the Lord of the Demon Realm.

He is older than Qiao Xiu imagined, and compared to the image of a ruler, the image of an old father who worked hard to raise four children is more suitable for him.

"Qiao Xiu, what do you think about the relationship between demons and humans?"

The Lord of the Demon Realm went straight to the point and asked the most acute question for the demons right now.

"It's an enemy now, but I think it's possible for this relationship to change."

Qiao Xiu pondered for a moment and then replied.

"Possible change? Humanity sees us as evil in itself, and is full of hatred for our race, as the centuries-old war with humanity has shown, you... Still think it can be changed? ”

"Of course, opinions and perceptions can be changed, as long as there is time."

Facing the questioning of this Lord of the Demon Realm, Qiao Xiu replied affirmatively.

"Change... Magic that affects the mind? After this kind of magic is discovered, it will further intensify the hatred of human beings against demons, and the war of this hundred years has brought too much trauma to our race, and if a new war is set off here, I am afraid that our race will end in defeat. ”

The Lord of the Demon Realm doesn't seem to want to go to war with humanity again.

The demon clan was not as strong as Qiao Xiu imagined, and the humans in the other world did not look as weak as Qiao Xiu imagined.

"So, Jossiu, when the next war begins, I hope you can lead our people to find a new place of refuge, Nogus, Cersili, and they will definitely rise to the fight......"

Are you ready for the aftermath of the defeat? But Qiao Xiu didn't plan to run away.

"I don't need to use magic to affect the mind, I have the ability to make humans take the initiative themselves, or be keen to accept demons... The cultural approach. ”

Qiao Xiu's plan in his heart basically had a prototype, and then said to the Lord of the Demon Realm with more affirmation.

What is the impression that people in modern society have of demons? Afraid? Fear? Disgusted? Wrong! All wrong! None of them are right!

As long as you are a person who can keep up with the trend of the times, there is basically only one impression of the existence of demons, handsome!

The image of the demon has been passed through "Dungeons & Dragons", "World of Warcraft", "Diablo", "Duke of Hell"... and so on, games and films, as well as the secondary creation of fiction works.

has long gone from the traditional villain image used in medieval religion to the role sought after by modern people, although the word "tyrant hanging" is very vulgar, it is very suitable for demons.

When Diablo Dreadgod Diablo appears, he says'"NOT· EVEN· DEATH· CAN· SITTING· FOR· ME! Malganis, the Inquisitor of the Burning Legion in World of Warcraft, shouts 'I'm Malganis!' I am immortal! When you wait for the lines, there is always a feeling that makes people's blood boil.

It's not a moth that's so scared that it wants to pray to God.

Qiao Xiu, who plans to develop the entertainment industry in the other world, happens to change the impression of demons in this world through movies and games.

"Accept the devil's... Culture? ”

"It's a brand new diplomacy, and I can't tell you the exact method for the time being, but please give me a few years, and I'll let you see the change." Qiao Xiu said.

"With your strange inventions?"

Notline stared at Qiao Xiu tightly, he didn't know where Qiao Xiu's confidence came from, the only thing his third son could handle was his strange machinery.

"That's right."

It was the legacy of this demon prince that made Qiao Xiu's plan to shoot a movie in the other world possible.

Moreover, there is nothing inappropriate to describe culture as an invention, and culture itself comes from creation and dissemination.

"Interesting, then I'll wait and see, what your so-called culture will bring to the relationship between demons and humans." Notleine said.
