Chapter 2 Brand New Diplomacy
Before Qiao Xiu's plan to shoot a movie in another world was put on the agenda, a water element servant hurried to Qiao Xiu's side.
This water element servant has the appearance of a human female, but the surface of her skin feels like a liquid.
"His Highness the Third Prince, the master summons you to the guard room." Her voice sounded like no emotion.
"knew."
There is only one master in this castle, that is the father of the demon prince.
Qiao Xiu didn't expect that he would meet the rulers of this world so soon...
Following the route I 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. The corridor was astonishingly large, with statues more than ten meters high standing on both sides.
These statues have different shapes, and the characters portrayed are all Chaos Demons of the same race as Qiao Xiu.
Each statue is a king who ruled this land for generations. Perhaps the demons living in the demon world do call them "king".
But these kings have a unique name for themselves in private, that is, the "guardian".
It looks simple but extremely ancient.
Qiao Xiu didn't know what the meaning of this title was, but it recorded that the history of the "guardians" has been passed down from generation to generation and has continued to this day.
And Qiao Xiu's father, the Lord of the Demon Realm, Nothing, is the current "guardian".
Qiao Xiu walked through the corridor protected by his ancestors and came to an empty hall.
The decoration here is also very simple, and it does not fit in the place like the "King's Palace". Except for a stone pestle at the end, it doesn't even have a throne.
Qiao Xiu's elder brother, second sister, and fourth sister have all arrived in the hall, and they are standing in front of the altar.
The solemn atmosphere filled every inch of air here. Qiao Xiu's brothers and sisters didn't even look at Qiao Xiu, but just left a place between the second and fourth sisters, which was obviously left for Qiao Xiu.
Following the local customs, Qiao Xiu stood in front of the altar like his brother and sister, and looked at the back facing the altar.
"Knox, Thursey, Joshu, Fya."
A voice full of oppression pronounced four names in turn.
"Thirty years... I know that this time is not enough to make you adults, but it is enough to make you mature."
The lifespan of the Chaos Demon is the shortest of all races in the Demon World, and it is only more than two hundred years. It can be said that it is the same as that of the humans in this world.
However, for the Chaos Devils, they are still in their youth. Qiao Xiu is only seventeen years old this year, and his sister Fuya is even younger, only fourteen years old. Even if she is in the human world, she is also the kind of person who is sentenced to "starting from three years and having the highest death penalty".
"Father, do you have anything to tell?"
A powerful voice came from Qiao Xiu's side. It was the voice of Qiao Xiu's elder brother Knox. As the eldest son, Knox, of course, was a general who was on the battlefield, ruling thousands of troops to guard the frontier.
It was a setting that Qiao Xiu expected.
"I decided to choose the next guard among you in two years."
The moment Nothing said this, the already serious atmosphere suddenly became tense.
What does the next guard mean? That is, the next Lord of the Demon Realm.
Qiao Xiu felt that the drama of succession to the throne and seizing power was not needed to be elaborated. In the medieval history of Europe and Asia, the struggle for the throne will never end.
The most famous one in China is that the Sima family usurped the throne of the Cao family, ending the chaotic Three Kingdoms period and establishing the Jin Dynasty. In Europe, Richard III stabbed his nephew Edward and succeeded the king of England.
In short, history about the throne is always bloody.
Qiao Xiu could even think that from now on, his brothers and sisters would definitely start stabbing each other, so...
"Please allow me to withdraw from the candidate for succession of the caretaker."
Qiao Xiu said loudly to the current Lord of the Demon Realm.
"Oh? Joseph, don't you desire the identity of a guard?"
The identity of the king? Rule the entire demon world and possess everything in the demon world. It can determine the lives of tens of millions of people in just one sentence.
It sounds really wonderful. Rights is a thing that is wonderful, but the premise is to enjoy it with destiny!
To put it bluntly, Qiao Xiu couldn't beat his elder brother and second sister at all, and even the fourth sister could not win. Instead, he might become the first victim in this battle for the emperor.
This is not the earth, everyone is human. Since we can’t reach a conclusion, we can only fight each other with swords and guns. The difference in physical fitness will not be too big, which is very fair.
But this is a different world, a magical world.
The third prince pointed all his talents to "invention and creation". His individual strength is the weakest among the four siblings. Even the weakest four sisters can tear up countless themselves.
The thing about power fell into the hands of the weak, but only gave him a one-way ticket to hell.
Moreover, compared to power, Qiao Xiu likes some spiritual satisfaction. In his previous life, Qiao Xiu worked part-time as a "rich second generation" and "official second generation" and "official second generation". However, Qiao Xiu had never thought about inheriting any family business, "traveling a thousand miles to Tibet for a trip", "drifted in Germany for three days and three nights to participate in the Cologne game exhibition," and so on... Qiao Xiu has basically done things like that that are a bit stupid literary youth who only do.
"No, I have found a higher ideal, so let me refuse."
Qiao Xiu has decided to enter the film and television and gaming industry. If you do something so tiring for the king, you will do it with your elder brother, second sister or fourth sister. Whoever likes to do it will do it.
“A higher ideal?”
The Lord of the Demon Realm, Nothing, stared at Joshu for a long time, and then he issued a new order.
"Norgus, Serhili, Fya...you can leave first."
Could it be that I really want to force myself to be the king? Qiao Xiu suddenly thought of some traditional chicken soup stories, and there is also a story about a king choosing his own descendants as his heirs. In the end, the one who succeeded in the throne was always the least favored youngest son.
Reasons? There are many noble qualities such as kindness, tolerance, etc., but Qiao Xiu thinks that all these are farts. At least in this world, people without ability cannot bear the weight of the identity of "king".
Qiao Xiu now feels like he is the "lucky little son".
All the brothers and sisters left, and only Joseph and Notrene remained in the hall.
"Easy, don't be restrained," said Nortlan.
Only then did Qiao Xiu see clearly the appearance of the Lord of the Demon Realm. He was very old... His somewhat messy beard and wrinkles on his cheeks formed the first impression of the Lord of the Demon Realm.
He was older than Joshu had imagined. Compared to the image of the ruler, the image of the old father who worked hard to pull up his four children was more suitable for him.
"Joxiu, what do you think of the relationship between demons and humans?"
The Lord of the Demon Realm went straight in and asked the most acute question for the demons now.
"It's the enemy now, but I think this relationship is likely to change."
Qiao Xiu pondered for a while and replied to him.
"May change? Humans regard us as evil, and are full of hatred for our clan. The war with humanity for a hundred years has shown this. Do you... still think it can be changed?"
"Of course, opinions and opinions can be changed as long as there is time."
Faced with the questioning of the Lord of the Demon Realm, Qiao Xiu answered with affirmative answer.
"Does the magic that changes... affects the mind? After this magic is discovered, it will intensify human hatred for demons. The war over the past century has brought too much trauma to our clan. If a new war is launched here, we may end up in defeat."
The Lord of the Demon Realm does not seem to want to go to war with humans again.
The demon clan is not as powerful as Qiao Xiu imagined, and humans in another world do not look as weak as Qiao Xiu imagined.
"So, Joseph, when the next war begins, I hope you can take our tribesmen to find a new shelter, Noggs, Thursey and the others will definitely stand up and fight..."
Have you made plans for the defeat? But Qiao Xiu did not plan to escape.
"No magic that affects the mind, I have a way to make humans take the initiative or be keen to accept the culture of demons."
Qiao Xiu's plan in his heart has basically taken shape, and then he said it to the Lord of the Demon Realm with more certainty.
What is the impression of demons in modern society? Fear, fear, disgust? Wrong! All wrong! None of them is right!
As long as you are someone who can keep up with the trend of the times, you basically have only one impression of the existence of the demon, handsome!
The image of the Demon has been created in the secondary creation of games, film and television works, and novels such as "Dungeon and the Dragon", "World of Warcraft", "Divine Diablo", "Duke of Hell" and so on.
It has long been from the traditional villain used in medieval religion to the roles that modern people are sought after. Although the word "Mad Domineering and Handsome" is very vulgar, it is very suitable for use on demons.
When Diapolo, the fear demon in Diablo, appears, said, "Not even death·can·sitting·for·me!", when the interrogator of the Burning Legion in World of Warcraft, Marganis, shouted, "I am Marganis! I am immortal!" and so on, there is always a feeling of excitement.
It's definitely not that scared of me that I want to pray to God.
Qiao Xiu, who intends to develop the entertainment industry in another world, happened to change the impression of people in this world about demons through movies and games.
"Accept the devil's…culture?"
"It is a brand new diplomatic method. I cannot tell you the specific method for the time being, but please give me a few years and I will let you see the change." Qiao Xiu said.
"With those strange inventions of yours?"
Notrene stared at Qiao Xiu closely. He didn't know where Qiao Xiu's confidence came from. The only thing his third son could do was his strange machinery.
"That's right."
It is the legacy of this demon prince that makes Qiao Xiu's plan to shoot a movie in another world possible.
Moreover, there is nothing inappropriate to describe culture as invention. Culture itself comes from creation and dissemination.
