Crusader Kingdoms Begins with the Black Beast

Well, there are no more seven or eight groups anyway.

Chapter 40: The Devil's Deal, Hell's Food

Like people, like birds. Like things, like owners. Crickets grow in saline-alkali land. Sometimes, if you deliberately perform a little worse, your audience will increase dramatically. It's like - you suddenly see an animation, the characters in this animation have slightly dull expressions, slightly more repetitive movements, slightly worse picture quality, slightly less colors, and slightly more immature voice acting. Then after years of immersion in this, you can basically conclude: this is an erotic anime. You will get excited instead.

You see, Levi has displayed his chariots, horses, cannons, famous swords and spears, and the priestess Kaguya feels a lot more relieved.

It's easy to deal with since no one is a good person.

One is a demon, the other is a cultist.

Look, a perfect match!

The army was stationed here, and Li Wei served as...King Wen of Zhou.

Oh, back then King Wen of Zhou divided the

90

There are two of them in the world, but they still serve the Shang Dynasty as a minister. Li Wei has completely sidelined Orika, but he still serves Orika as a minister? Ah, let me ascend the throne? Forget it, I'll just be King Wen of Zhou.

By the way, he also supervised the feudal office of the Abyss Demon stationed in the Dark Elf Kingdom and the Breton Tribe - when his earthen fortress would be completed.

Time passed slowly for about half a month. The trauma brought to everyone by the war was terrible. Although the war in the Middle Ages was poorly organized, there was basically no difference between looting and later times... To be precise, there was no difference between later times and the Middle Ages, just looting. Whether it was the American soldiers in the Iraq War who blew up the door of the Iraqi Museum and looted crazily, and were finally lifted up and put down; or the American soldiers in the Syrian War who drove military vehicles to transport oil, and even the reports were cut off in the end, there was basically no difference.

Fortunately, there were not many casualties. After the war, people in the Middle Ages quickly resumed production and had no time to pursue justice or war crimes, because if they did not resume production, they would be the next to die. It was the autumn harvest time, but the looters did not let go of the food in the fields and took it all away.

Huh? Really?

——Nonsense, just try it if you dare to touch a grain of food.

Obviously, the soft ones are afraid of the hard ones, the hard ones are afraid of the strong ones, the strong ones are afraid of the stupid ones, and the stupid ones are afraid of the desperate ones - Levi is now one level higher than the other party, and he has money to earn and plenty of food. Of course, the looters have no interest in food for the time being. But... Although the United States did something wrong, as Shen Yi said: The United States is very cunning, but also very honest. It shouts loudly about everything it does. For example, the United States once said this: "If you control oil, you control the world; if you control food, you control humanity."

This is not true at all.

The food crisis is always the most deadly of all crises. If you say it is easy to solve, problems will easily cause unrest; if you say it is difficult to solve, as long as you ensure that most people do not starve to death, there will be no unrest.

When it is said that Tokugawa Ieyasu plagiarized Han Feizi and made a spiritual sequel, he said this - because he was a feudal lord, he was very reactionary, and we should criticize him: Keeping the peasants in a state of starvation, but not starving to death - is the secret of a long-lasting regime. Simply put, it is to make the peasants poor, but not dying of poverty, and it is completely impossible to make them rich, and it is useless to die on the land. From time to time, give them some small favors, hold festivals and celebrations to improve the almost dead feudal social environment - you see, what an evil feudal society it is.

Levi is now very anti-feudal because he is a tribal pig...the tribal leader!

OK, I respect you, I respect all your sovereignty. I respect your beliefs, I respect your personality. You don't respect me, I respect you; you still don't respect me, I still respect you; we are all civilized people who are fair and just.

Now, you are facing the food problem that threatens the survival of your country and you need my help.

Very well then, let’s just do business as usual.

————————————————————

"Hum, hum, hum~" I am humming an evil little tune. For the main tune, please refer to "Anacreon to Heaven". This tune is the ultimate depravity, very suitable for demons, basically equivalent to the European version of the Eighteen Touches... Huh? You don't know this tune? Oh, by the way, there is a song that plagiarized this tune and may be more famous, called... "The Star-Spangled Banner".

Levi now feels that he is quite depraved.

Humming an evil tune, acting as the leader of the Eight Banners, staring at the palace wine, eating the palace dishes, I am really enjoying the tonic!

"qualified."

Levi looked at the food production given by the "Manor" system. Although the sweet potato yield of 10,000 catties per mu only appeared in novels, in Levi's manor, the sweet potato yield was 10,000 catties per mu. Now what Olika has to do every day is... to be constantly drained of magic power.

Well, it sounds a bit like "squeeze X ward", but it's almost the same.

This is the squeezing farm.

No, no, no, don't get the wrong idea. It's not the kind of farm you think of, but a very formal farm where female livestock are gathered together for centralized breeding and centralized birthing; female dogs guard the yard, female cows produce milk, sows give birth, and female horses are ridden.

It was just because a large amount of food had to be transported out every day, and some elves had to volunteer to work in the [Manor]. During the time of transporting food in and out, the little magic power that Orika had accumulated with great difficulty was accumulated little by little every day, and then it was drained away every day...

What? How can any description become erotic? If you work hard to save a little money every day, and then disappear when you go out to buy groceries, can this description also be erotic?

"Well, there is a lot of food stored." Levi said that the daily output of about ten tons of food here is enough to fill the window gap. Since the food output is so stable, then... "It's time to raise the price of food."

"With more food, how can we raise the price of food?" Olika didn't seem tired. After all, there were times when her magic power was 0 - it didn't affect her physical fitness. To be precise, she could get more magic power from Levi every day, which was very cost-effective. But what she didn't understand even more was Levi's brain.

Food production increases, food prices decrease - this is the law of the market, how do you change it?

"That's easy - just falsify the numbers." Levi thought the people in the Middle Ages were really naive: "Tell them that there is not enough food every day. We need to reduce the rations every day -

91

—The reason is that the people in the newly occupied lands are in urgent need of life-saving food. Before the war in northern Brittany was over, food production was greatly affected - isn't that simple? "

"? But your grain production is sufficient? Why are you doing this?" There was a reason why Olica was overthrown by all the princes back then.

The total global grain output was 18 billion tons in 26.5, 19 billion tons in 27.1, 20 billion tons in 27.8, and 21 billion tons in 28. If nothing unexpected happens, even if the largest producing countries go to war this year, there will still be a steady increase. You said it was affected by the epidemic, but it was not completely affected. But they are good at selling anxiety. The global grain output is as high as 17%, and as low as just walking, and you have to eat two kilograms of grain every day to finish it. Friends, what does this mean? At this time, you don’t need to worry about starving to death, but you have to worry about being stuffed to death. But there are still billion people starving-Europe and the United States need million tons of grain a year to refine fuel.

All I have to do is sell anxiety and hoard food - it's normal for food prices to rise.

What worries us is not the scarcity of wealth, but the inequality of wealth - this is a very serious international political and economic issue, not a simple moral sentiment.

"Really... I kind of believe you're a devil now."

"Hahaha, it's good that you believe it." Levi drafted a document on parchment and handed it to Olika: "See if there is anything that needs to be revised. If not, then..."

"Snap!" Olika's ring touched Indonesia, and then pressed it on the parchment - there was no time for Levi to speak: "Don't waste time, you just want me to stamp it anyway."

"...Oh." Levi muttered and put away the documents on food supply distribution and storage: "You have worked so hard these days, but the transportation problem will be idle these days. The food production in the 'Manor' is basically saturated, let them grow cash crops... I will send more documents. These food harvests in the real world..."

"not optimistic."

Olika, although she is the heroine in the Black Beast worldview.

But she is indeed the heroine that Chinese people are ecstatic about - not because of her looks, but because of her ability. Even if you read all the movies in the world, you will find that heroines like Olika are rare. Her ability is to make barren land suitable for farming, and the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe - if such a heroine is thrown into our dynasty

You want to "blackmail" her? I can blackmail your ancestors! This kind of heroine should be thrown into the desert and worshipped. I will build a city around your area! You tell me what you want and I will give it to you. If you want, I can even draw a separate district for you to be the honorary queen, and it will be an autonomous region! If you can turn the rolling yellow sand of Taklimakan into fertile fields...

I will worship you together with the Archdruid!

Such a super buff queen can only be used as a toilet in the world of hentai.

What is wasting food? This is wasting food!

"Well, just do your best. Ah... there are basically no statistical talents. It seems that we have to rely on local businessmen... Alas." The administrative system cannot be solved by one person, and a complete set of social support is needed. Levi was scratching his head in anxiety, but it was useless. Even if he was a teacher, he could order all school-age children to go to school with a wave of his hand.

Europe has no tradition of learning and no cultural soil. Not only do they not have that many teachers, what do all the children learn in school? The children are all child laborers at home. Therefore, there is basically no way to solve the problem quickly. This requires the social system of all mankind to progress together.

"Then it depends on the merchant's statistical ability." The big merchants these days are naturally not retailers, and they are different from the business districts we imagine. Most of the "cities" these days are wholesale markets controlled by business families, and retailers are small-time characters. Please pay outside the city to complete the transaction.

"Thanks a lot."

"Huh...won't you take a break?"

"I haven't finished the work yet." Li Wei pointed to the topic on the table and said, "There are some things I can't figure out."

"...You are such a boring devil." The Queen of the Order World sighed that life is not easy, and then said: "By the way, Chloe said that the people below brought a message."

"Ok?"

"You said a business partner wanted to meet you? He's been waiting for days, hanging around the business district - very good."

"Who?"

"It is said that his name is...what is his name...oh, he calls himself weird, Old Fly." Looking at Levi strangely, Olika said with disgust: "Hey, if you want to do something devilish, I can understand it. But can you not choose this disgusting one specifically? If you really like...like this weird..."

Walruses have a famous saying: It smells stinky, but it tastes really good.

"...Pfft! No! Not at all! You can continue working when you are free. I will go see my... uh, old friend."

...I want to see what kind of friend that "Old Fly" is! It sounds disgusting! We can't let bad kids lead him astray! - An old mother's heart?

————————————————————

Then, Olika followed and found out with surprise.

Old fly... so pretty. And full of aura.

The most important thing is that there is more than one fly following her! Buzz buzz buzz, so annoying! What's going on!

92

"Ah, Levi."

This tone made Levi feel that his name was not Levi, but Shirley.

Dear Crimson Lord Miss Beelzebub, dressed in men's clothing, rubbed her hands and took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat: "I've been waiting for you for several days. The weather is so hot. I never thought that you can buy anything with money here. I haven't eaten such delicious desserts for a long time~ Hmm~ Hmm~ But~ I like your dessert better than yours."

What a hell.

"Don't be so wild." Levi's current race is a demon.

There is a sense of blood suppression to some extent - this blood suppression is innate, and I can naturally feel that the demon lord on the other side is one level higher than me, and sometimes more than one level higher. What does this mean?

This shows that it is natural for the lower to overthrow the upper! Cool!

People are born with a rebellious nature, and this is also a part of social competition - of course, compared to social competition, perhaps what we should consider now is competition for spouses.

"Now this is the human world - ah, yes, welcome to my fallen world."

"...Where is the corruption?" Beelzebub frowned, looked around and said, "I saw almost the purest world here. Wow, it's so pure that I want to spread the plague to see if I can, you know? What I like most is to watch the battle between humans and the plague. The biggest difference between humans and beasts without intelligence is that humans can rely on collective strength to fight the plague. But the bigger difference is that humans will fail completely because of collective corruption. Tsk tsk tsk, what I like to watch most is this kind of success and failure - if the plague indicator hadn't been reached this month, I would have tried it out here with you... Hey!"

Snapped!

Levi's bad temper is really bad.

Hitting anywhere is not a good thing. After all, hitting a woman is not a good thing. Hitting the face is too much. Hitting the chest is not okay because it involves internal organs. There is no other way, so I just hit the place I have hit before.

Levi hit the opponent's lower abdomen again, killing him with one blow! This is the best way to avoid killing people - Beelzebub's own suggestion. It's really not his fault that he doesn't show mercy to women.

"Elbow!" Levi saw that more and more locals came to watch the fun. After all, he was a demon lord! What's wrong with me kidnapping people immediately? "Follow me into the house!"

"Did you see it?" Levi was carrying Beelzebub like a sack and parading through the downtown area, and his devilish ears could hear people around him talking about him.

"I saw it, I saw it."

"As expected of a devil, you finally did something devilish."

"That's right - I thought it was something else, but it turns out it's a demon."

"That's right - I just like snatching handsome men on the street."

"That's right, that man is effeminate. It turns out that the devil likes this."

"You are wrong. It's normal for demons to like men. Because demons think stinky things are delicious..."

Chapter 41: Bitch is rude

Although I don't know why, in the illustrations of simple books in the Middle Ages, there are usually some illustrations of demons. Of course, it's just like the little emperor uncle and little emperor text in ancient China. On the one hand, they want to be lewd, and on the other hand, they want to stand on the commanding heights of morality. They have to elevate the whole article, saying that lust is the root of all evil, and that there are sins all over the body. This kind of author is both a prophet and a hypocrite, and is very obscene. Anyway... believe it or not.

This kind of "critical literature" also existed in the European Middle Ages, mainly to critically discuss what the devil did. From the medieval illustrations, we can see that Westerners really have many more tags than Easterners. Things like temptation and brainwashing are the lightest ones. You can really look at the medieval devil illustrations if you want to.

First of all, it doesn't arouse any desire of modern people - the painting is poor, and the printing is nonsense. It is full of the devil's heavy-mouthed play, and scat is light, and the human-animal insurance is still played by foreigners. After all, the origin of SM is my Catholic filial son France - all of this has a scapegoat, and it is all the devil.

If it wasn't the devil tempting me, how could I have such evil thoughts?

"Hmm, it tastes good." Now, the demons are gathered together.

There are no heavy-tasting scenes. Isn't this quite harmonious?

"Yeah." Levi looked at the elegant red-dressed lady in front of him, and seemed a little confused: "You... came here just to eat?"

"Ah, what you said - can't I come just to get close to you? Don't worry, although I am in charge of plague, but... releasing plague also needs to abide by the basic rules of hell. It's not that I will release a plague to torture the world just because I am very angry. If I have this ability - no creature in the world will live to see tomorrow." Beelzebub wiped his mouth elegantly with a napkin, looked at the knife and fork in front of him and said: "Your eating utensils are also very interesting."

"Ah, yes, it's very hellish, isn't it?" Eating with a knife and fork - it's horrible no matter how you look at it. How much easier would it be for the cook? The diners would be left to handle the knife modification.

"Ah, it's hell, but not hell on time." Beelzebub pouted and said, "Eat with your hands, don't wash your hands - this way I can infect more effectively. Can you not be as annoying as those Orientals who use sticks to eat? Eating with tableware... do you know that if this becomes popular, my job will become more difficult?"

"Ah...you care about Eastern affairs too?"

93

"I don't care, otherwise I will be exhausted to death. Ah, let's not talk about this." Beelzebub smiled and pointed at the Western food in front of him.

A small pancake with eggs, spread, vegetables, and sausage inside - egg-filled pancake. Although you may have eaten egg-filled pancakes, you may not have eaten them with a knife and fork.

This is how the devil eats, very particular about it.

"Wang!"

"Your soy milk is really delicious~ Mm, it has a kind of bean smell, but also very sweet." I don't know if he was driving, but after drinking a mouthful of soy milk with a lethal amount of sugar, Beelzebub savored it for a long time: "Great! - You, the demon lord, are more comfortable than me, the lord of hell. No, this is not right."

"No? What can I do if it's not right?"

Li Wei cracked his lips and said, "How about I not make these dishes anymore?"

"That won't do - I'm here to renegotiate with you. Don't worry, I'll be very gentle in the future. Ah, if you let me eat my fill, I won't eat you. Of course, just saying I want to eat you sounds like I'm blackmailing you. Offer me sacrifices -" Suddenly the distance closed, with a sweet taste of soy milk in her mouth, the red-dressed queen seemed like a handsome gentleman, but it was a pity that a gentleman wouldn't dribble into people - she hit Levi's face with two balls, and said in a gentleman's tone: "There are many benefits to offering sacrifices to me. I've been secretly observing you for several days. You're such a thoroughly corrupt demon, and you still want to make the world run well. Well, amazing! I'm different from some demons who only know how to kill, kill, kill, and chop, I also think that for the world to run well, the more people the better. It would be best if it was a garbage world with a large population, many bad living habits of the people, and no toilets - ah, the early Roman world wouldn't work. The late Roman world with barbarians everywhere was good. Ahem, I've said too much."

Beelzebub was standing beside Levi, holding a glass of...soy milk, quite temptingly, like a nobleman holding red wine.

I say again, the gentleman does not hit people with the ball.
