Joshua’s plan to make a movie in this different world has not even been put into action when a water element servant rushed to Joshua’s side
The water element servant has the appearance of a human woman, but the skin and flesh were complete of water.
“Your highness third prince, the Lord has summoned you to the Guardian room” her voice was without any emotions.
“Got it.”
There was only one Lord in this castle, that was, the father of this demon prince.
Joshua didn’t expect that he would meet with the ruler of this world so quickly.
According to the route in his memories, it took him around 10 minutes to walk past the internal complex structures of the castle. He reached in front of the door which gave an ominous aura.
Joshua walked into directly, the corridor was surprisingly very large, and was flanked by statues of more than ten meters tall.
These statues were of different shapes and sizes, all the characters portrayed were chaos demon, the same race as Joshua.
Each statue was of the king who ruled this land in the past, and perhaps the demons of this land really might have called them as ‘king’.
But these monarchs privately address themselves with a special name, “Guardian”.
It looks plain, but it was an ancient incomparable name.
Joshua doesn’t know what is the meaning of this name, but the historical records of ”Guardian” has been passed down for generations and was still continuing to this day.
Joshua’s father, demon lord Nautolan was the current ‘Guardian”
Joshua passed through the ancestor’s corridor and reached a spacious hall.
The decoration here was so simple that this place doesn’t conform to the king’s palace, besides a sacrificial altar-like stone pestle, there was not even a throne.
Joshua’s eldest brother and two sisters have already arrived in the hall and were standing in front of the altar.
The solemn atmosphere flooded in every inch of air, Joshua’s brother and sisters didn’t even look at him, there was just an empty position in between the second sister and fourth sister, obviously, this position was left for Joshua.
When in Rome, do as Romans do, Joshua imitated his siblings and stood in front of the altar, he looked at the figure standing behind the altar.
“Knox, Shirley, Joshua, Fuya”
A voice full of oppression read out the four names in order.
“30 years,… I know this time isn’t sufficient to make you an adult, but it is enough to make you mature”
The life of chaos demon is shortest in all the demon race, it was more than 200 years, it could be said to be same as human beings of this world.
However,20 years was still the age of adolescence for a chaos demon, Joshua this year is only 17 years old and his sister Fuya is merely 14 years old.
“Father, may I ask what is your command?” a powerful voice came from the side of Joshua, it was his eldest brother Knox’s voice, as the eldest son, it was natural for Knox to be a general in the battlefield, and he also governs a magnificent army in the frontier fortress
It was a predictable setting as Joshua expected.
“After two years from now, I have decided to choose a new Guardian amongst you.”
When Nautolan uttered the words, the atmosphere which had been solemn has abruptly become tense.
What does the next Guardian mean? It means the next demon lord.
Joshua felt there was no need to think too much about all the drama that comes with the succession of the throne. In the medieval period, whether it was in Europe or Asia, fighting for the throne was always a never-ending subject.
China’s most famous one was the sima family usurping the throne from Cao, which finished the chaos of the three kingdom era and established the Jin dynasty,
On the European side, Richard III stabbed his nephew Edward to succeed as the king of England.
In a word, the history of the throne was always filled with bloodshed.
Joshua did not need to think next, his brother and sisters would surely start stabbing each other. so…..
“Please allow me to withdraw my qualifications as a candidate for the position of Guardian”
Joshua loudly said to the current demon lord.
“Oh? Joshua, you don’t want the position of the Guardian?”
The position of the king? It was the power to rule the whole demon world, to have everything in the demon realm, to determine the lives of millions of people with just one word.
It sounds wonderful. Yes, it’s a wonderful thing, but the premise was you need to have your life to enjoy it!
To put it bluntly, Joshua wouldn’t able to win against his older brother and second sister, he even won’t be able to win against his younger sister, Instead, he might become the first sacrificial victim in the struggle for the throne.
This was not the earth, where everyone was a human and there was not much difference in physique, and where if words fail, one could simply take out a sword or a gun to deal with others.
But this a different world, a world of magic.
The third prince’s all talent lies in ‘invention and creation’, but as for his individual strength, he was the weakest among all his siblings, even his younger sister was an expert in tearing others in countless pieces.
If the power like thing falls on the hand of a weak person, then it was like giving him a one-way ticket to hell.
Moreover, compared to power like thing, Joshua would more prefer to have some spiritual satisfaction. In the previous world, Joshua held the status of “rich second generation” and ”child of an official”, both this status would make other people envy him, but he did have any thought of inheriting his family property, he walked thousands of miles and traveled to Tibet to take part in cologne game show, in Germany he wandered for three days and three nights,…this kind of things only some stupid young people would do, that was what Joshua basically had done.
“No, I have found a higher ideal, therefore allow me to refuse”
Joshua has already decided to march in the direction of the film and gaming industry. To be a king was a very tiresome matter, let his brother and sister handle it, who would love to do it.
“Higher ideal?”
The demon lord Nautolan stared at Joshua for a long time and then he gave a new order.
“Knox, Shirley, Fuya….you all can leave first”
Would he forcefully make me a king? Joshua suddenly thought of some traditional chicken soup stories, in that story also there was a king who selects an heir for the throne amongst his several sons, finally, the least favored youngest son succeeds the throne.
The reason? There were many like having some kind-hearted, tolerant, and other like noble qualities, but Joshua thinks all this as complete rubbish, at least in this world the person won’t be able to bear the weight the status of king, without having any abilities.
Currently, Joshua was feeling like the lucky youngest son.
Brother and sisters left the hall, there were only Joshua and demon lord present.
“Relax, don’t be cautious,” Nautolan said.
At this time, Joshua clearly looked at the appearance of the demon lord, there was somewhat disorder whiskers and wrinkles on his cheeks. Very old, this was the first impression formed from this demon lord.
He was older than Joshua imagined, and compared to the image as ruler, he was more suited to the image of an old laborious father who was raising four children.
“Joshua, how do you see the relationship between humans and demons?”
Demon lord directly went straight to the point, the question he asked is currently regarded as demons most acute issues.
“Now it is an enemy, but I believe this relationship may change,” Joshua said after some thought.
“May change? Humanity sees us an evil creature, they are full of hatred for our kind, a century of continuous wars with humanity has already shown us this point…and you still think it can change?”
“Of course, opinions and ideas can be changed, as long as there is time.”
Facing the question of the demon lord, Joshua gave an affirmative answer.
“Change…Mind Influence Magic? If this kind of magic is found by humans then it will only aggravate the hatred towards us. Since the war that started a century ago, it only brought too much damage to our race. If there is a new war, I am afraid that it will end up with our defeat.”
The demon lord does not seem to want to go to war once again with humans.
The demon race was not as powerful as Joshua imagined, and humans were not as weak as he thought.
“So, Joshua, before the next war begins, I hope you can take our clansmen to find a new shelter, Knox and others will certainly stay to fight…”
Was he already prepared for defeat? However, Joshua doesn’t have any intention to escape.
“There is no need for Mind Influence Magic, I have the ability to let a human take the initiative in accepting the demon….through cultural means”
In Joshua’s mind, there was a basic prototype of the plan. Then, he gave a more affirmative answer to the demon lord.
What was the impression of the demon in modern society? Afraid? Frightened? Endless hatred? Wrong! Everything thing was wrong! None of them were correct!
As long as the person was able to keep up with the trend of times, they would have only one impression of the demon…Cool!
This image of demons formed from “Dragon and Dungeons”, “World of Warcraft”, “Diablo”, “Hell Boy” and other games and movies. There were even novels based on demons.
From the medieval ages, the traditional image of a villain to popular characters sought after in modern times. “Wild Tyrant”, this word may be little vulgar but it is very suitable for demons.
When Diablo, the demon lord of terror from game ‘diablo’ spoke the line “Not Even Death Can Save You From Me” or from the “World of Warcraft” Mal’Ganis of Burning legion shouted “I Am Mal’Ganis! I am Eternal!” When these lines were spoken, they always made one’s blood race.
Joshua plans to develop the entertainment industry in this different world and take advantage of movies and games to change the impression of people about demons.
“Accepting demons….culture?”
“It is a whole new kind of diplomatic means. I can’t tell you the exact methods, but please give me a few years and I’ll let you see the change.” Joshua said.
“With your strange inventions?”
Nautolan tightly stared at Joshua, he does not know from where Joshua was getting his confidence, his third son has only strange inventions.
“Yes.”
It was the legacy left behind by the demon prince that made it possible for Joshua to make films in this different world.
And there’s nothing wrong to say that the culture was an invention. The culture originated from creative works and was spread out.
“Interesting, then I will wait and see what your so-called culture will bring changes between demons and humans,” Nautolan said.
