Did anyone remember that Tang En still had a plan to save the world through entertainment?
Obviously, he did not expect that the demons would give him an opportunity before his plan could even be carried out.
What the demons lacked was spiritual entertainment. In the Purgatory Abyss, the battle on the Bloody Battlefield had never subsided. It was a furnace of flesh and blood. Every demon and demon was in a state of tension. In this state, a day without fighting was a rare rest, not to mention a vacation in Prandal.
Therefore, extracting memory crystals from the souls sacrificed by demon worshippers and personally experiencing the lives of humans was their only entertainment.
It was also because of this ability of the demons that they had experienced countless lives and had such a precise grasp of human nature.
So, in this case, how was Tang En going to cooperate with them?
Twain laughed, and he laughed very happily. "You need souls because you can't leave the Bloody Battlefield, and you can't leave the battle environment for entertainment, and not because you need to devour souls to strengthen yourself, right?"
The group of demon dukes could not help but roll their eyes. This guy was talking nonsense. The souls of the dead belonged to the God of Death, Gritterrence. Who would dare to touch the authority of the God of Death? Devour souls? Anyone who dared to do so would be targeted by the God of Death in minutes!
In history, only demons and some crazy necromancers dared to do so. None of these guys had a good ending.
Even if the souls were sacrificed by demon worshippers, the demons would let the souls return to the Kingdom of Death after extracting the memory crystals. Only those souls who voluntarily stayed in the Purgatory Abyss would be accepted by the demons. But how many souls were willing to stay in the Purgatory Abyss? After all, according to the legends, demons fed on human souls.
Tang En continued. "Strictly speaking, you need human souls for entertainment, right?"
Hearing Tang En's words, some demons could not help but nod.
Tang En finally said his plan. "Then, if I can provide you with some rich entertainment means, even richer than entering the memories of those people to experience life, is our negotiation valid?"
Now, Plandal's entertainment industry was quite developed. Just the comic industry alone already covered readers of every age group, from children to adults. The animation industry was also flourishing, the TV series industry had also begun to form industrialization, and the movie industry was also in preparation …
Under the guidance of the Datang Chamber of Commerce, many chambers of commerce that did not have the ability to do physical trade now began to transform. They hired a large number of painters and bards. These people were very poor in Prandal. They only painted portraits or sold drinks in pubs. Now that they were hired, they could earn a stable income. Of course, they were very dedicated.
After a simple observation and learning, they immediately began to imitate and draw the various legends of Prandal into comic books. They then took it to the cultural management department of each city for review, and then entrusted it to the printing company for printing and publishing.
This new form of art had set off a craze among the Prandal civilians. People were happy to take out a book to read and learn after work.
Although the level of comics, novels, and so on produced by those chambers of commerce was far inferior to the Datang Chamber of Commerce that Tang En personally guided, they had the advantage of rich ideas and were completely unrestrained by fixed thinking patterns. All kinds of creations were bold and unconstrained, and often produced some works that would make people's eyes light up …
These cultural products could be said to be one of the best forms of entertainment at present, and they could be copied in large quantities without worrying about consumption. To put it more exaggeratedly, Tang En could even go to the demons to do a reader survey, and then order some publishers to customize some comics, novels, animations, TV dramas, and other products according to the demons' tastes. These custom-made products for readers would definitely satisfy the demons' preferences.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Grand Duke Olodurum, who was shrouded in cold air, cackled strangely. "What other entertainment in the human world is interesting apart from those little girls who sing and dance? Don't tell me you're talking about those bards … The only interesting thing is probably Gwent. It's a pity that we can't buy card packs in the Purgatory Abyss. It's so boring. Sometimes we even want to get the wizard who invented this game to make card packs for us. "
"That's why your news has been lagging behind for too long …"
Tang En's face was full of disdain, and his gaze was as if he was looking at a country bumpkin. The naked contempt of a king was not concealed. "Do you know how lively Prandal is now? Have you heard of TV dramas, comics, and novels? Gwent is very interesting, but have you played poker, mahjong, and billiards? Do you country bumpkins know what an interesting game is? "
A series of terms that they had never heard of before made the circle of Grand Dukes all dumbfounded.
After that, Tang En directly took out a projection crystal that the Datang Chamber of Commerce used for promotional presentations. He slapped it on the table, and a gorgeous opening animation appeared in front of them.
"Innovation changes the world, science changes life, Datang Chamber of Commerce, your best friend …"
A group of powerful Grand Dukes stared at the projection crystal. Of course, they knew what the projection crystal was, but what was in it?
What the hell are TV dramas?
What the hell are poker, mahjong, and billiards?!
What the hell, it looks very interesting!
These Grand Dukes, who were extremely powerful but had an empty spiritual life, really became country bumpkins who had never seen the world.
Tang En looked at the country bumpkins contemptuously as they finished watching the contents of the projection crystal. Then, he continued, "See? If you cooperate with me, I can provide you with a lot of entertainment facilities. It's much better than wasting your life in the memories of humans. "
"…"
Grand Duke Zakonkandal of the Spike Demons was moved. "Boss, this condition sounds very good …"
Demon King Barmetos looked at him coldly, then sneered and said, "King of humans, you have a good plan. As long as you provide something not worth mentioning, you want us to work for you humans."
Barmetos knew very well that the power of humans was not worth mentioning compared to that of demons. This also meant that the main force of humans working together to fight against demons could only be demons. Humans? At most, they could only shout 666 from the side, and would not be of any use.
"That's not right."
Tang En swung his tail and shook his head. "Even if we humans don't participate in the war, you still have to fight against demons. After so many years, you've been evenly matched. Now, although we humans are not strong, if we join the war and stand on the side of demons, it's enough to increase your chances of winning.
"We are your last hope to defeat the demons."
Tang En looked at Demon King Barmetos. "So now, are you willing to cooperate with us?"
"… Your Majesty, perhaps we should …"
The leader of the Lustful Demons, Grand Duchess Sylphlia, was just about to say something when Twain noticed it. He nonchalantly said, "By the way, among the entertainment content we provide, there are also many very exciting and alluring adult magazines …"
Sylphlia said with a serious expression, "Your Majesty, I think what the king of humans said is very reasonable. Although the power of humans is not worth mentioning, they are still a reinforcement. If we can cooperate, it will be of some help to us in defeating the demons."
"…"
Barmetos closed his eyes and started thinking. Just as Twain had said, regardless of whether humans started a war with demons or not, demons and demons would not stop fighting. Humans did not have much power, but it was always good to have more power. Most importantly …
Barmetos opened his eyes slightly and secretly looked at Winette, who was running around in Tang En's palm. The emissary of the God of Darkness, Apophis …
Winette, who was playing in Tang En's huge dragon claws, was suddenly stunned. She looked up at Barmetos in the distance, and a moment later, she showed a silly smile.
Hmph!
Barmetos snorted and said, "King of humans, I have to admit that you've convinced me. What you said is very reasonable. Without the humans, we won't lose, but with the humans, we might win. In that case, let's talk about the details of the cooperation. "
Done.
Tang En smiled. Cooperating with Barmetos might not be very pleasant, but at least it could buy the humans precious time from the demons. Tang En could use this time to continue developing the magic modification technology. In the future, it could even suppress the demons and solve the unstable factors of the Prandal in one go.
However …
Tang En, who was discussing the details of the cooperation with Barmetos, had a trace of doubt in his eyes. Was it an illusion? He felt that this demon king seemed to be secretly sizing up Winette every few days. That gaze … had some malice.
Could it be …
Tang En looked at Barmetos with a playful gaze. This guy did not admit that Winette was an angel, but he was actually lying?
In other words, he actually knew that Winette was an angel, but for some purpose or special reason, he was unwilling to admit Winette's identity?
If that's the case, things will be interesting …
Although Tang En felt that he might have discovered something intriguing, he still had to continue discussing with Barmetos. The finalized cooperation would not change because of this.
This question could be slowly solved after the crisis of the demons was resolved.
Perhaps Wynette would bring him a surprise then?
Just as Tang En was reviewing the contract with Barmetos, all of a sudden …
