I’m the Demon King, but There Are Too Many Heroes

065. Do you have to become a Dark Knight?

Confederation of Traparta, Principality of Carmenia. The principality’s capital, Carnia.

There is a huge tower that is 30 stories high.

A tower larger than any other building, more majestic than the official residence of the president of the principality.

Its appearance was a symbol of a warrior who faced the demon king.

The height of the 30th floor was to show that the hero is greater than the demon king.

The Hero’s Guild Headquarters, it was the honor and pride of the warriors.

Getting into the center has long been a dream for Hillen Cargill.

Before becoming a warrior, I wanted to be a warrior.

After becoming a hero, I always wanted to become a powerful person in the center of the guild.

I want to have power.

I want to get fame.

As for why it was the Heroes’ Guild, the reason was simple.

The royal road of a great country.

That great emperor.

It was because they were outlaws who dared not say anything. Sometimes the emperor and the king have no choice but to express their disappointment because the heroes are the warriors.

When I was very young, I happened to witness the great nobleman of the kingdom bowing his head to the hero who was called a star at the time.

And until now, that image has not disappeared from Hillen’s mind. The clearly engraved memories became the driving force behind him.

‘Finally I’m here.’

Although I came to this place only as a subordinate of the Demon King, the result does not change.

He will one day break the shackles of the Demon King and soar. All the efforts of the present will shine more brilliantly then.

He took a deep breath and calmed his pounding heart.

“I think I will live and live and come here…”

“Are we really going to be a raider?”

“I went to the Tower of the Beast and the Tower of the Geum River, but I couldn’t! Hero Hillen is also with us!”

“But we just get paid…”

“The Lord wants it. The money will keep going.”

“But it’s a little dangerous…”

“Well, I don’t think you will die no matter where you throw them if you have the skills.”

“Hey, thanks for the compliment.”

“Is that a compliment?”

“Everyone, please keep your dignity.”

‘Only these things…’

Humans are social animals. Even as a warrior, that fact does not change.

Even if you enter the headquarters with great reputation, you cannot do anything without a support base.

Because of this, Hillen Cargill decided to join not only himself, but also his associates. With the mercenaries officially known as the Red Hawks raid.

It wasn’t very believable, but it was better than nothing.

“Mr Granada.”

“why?”

“It’s a public place.”

“…why are you doing this?”

“Please take care of the Red Hawk raid members. Please don’t scratch my face.”

“Oh, yes, yes. That’s right. Everyone be quiet.”

The red hawks shut their mouths at Granada’s words.

The Heroes’ Guild is the largest and most majestic building in Karnia. It is a more symbolic and transcendent group than the Imperial Palace.

For this reason, the people of Karnia are proud to have the Hero’s Guild headquarters in their city. Guilds have always been the subject of interest.

Because of this, they also felt the gaze of the two of them gathering together.

Now, if there was an eye of the storm, they realized that it was them.

“Who is it? They’re the ones I haven’t seen.”

“Healen, it’s Hillen Cargill.”

“A Demon King Killer?”

“Then, is that a raid organized by Hillen Cargill?”

“maybe.”

“To see a great warrior who killed two demon kings in my lifetime.”

“Long live Hillen Cargill!”

Hillen Cargill had never been to Carnia, but he became too famous among the people of the City of Champions.

‘The sound of cheers for me.’

this is it This cheer and interest he liked.

‘You can’t make a first impression in the city of bravery.’

Hillen Cargill barely restrained the corners of her lips as she tried to rise.

But there was no need to stop this atmosphere.

A crowd gathered to see him. And the crowd split by itself to make a road.

“The Hero’s Guild is here!”

Citizens voluntarily led them to the Heroes’ Guild. And finally we arrived in front of the huge tower.

profit-

The door of the tower, which was bigger than any other demon king tower that Hillen Cargill had ever seen, opened slowly.

Dozens of people came out to meet him.

“Welcome to the Tower of Heroes.”

“I see you, the great warrior, Torniel Borgis. It is an honor for the generations to come to meet you in person!”

“Do you know me?”

“Where is the hero who doesn’t know the Elder who killed the Demon King of Famine?”

“It was a long time ago, my memory is fuzzy. He’s just an old man in the back room waiting for his death date.”

“Who can say such a thing about Torniel?”

“I am glad that a great warrior who will go down in history knows this old man.”

“It’s overrated.”

A young and old man embraced each other.

“I wish you well in the future. The guild always welcomes talented people like you.”

“Take good care of me.”

‘I don’t think it would be easy to have a smooth tongue. I’ll have to be careful.’

‘Old man, I can see that you are struggling with how to use it. Well, it’s not unexpected.’

“ha ha ha.”

“ha ha ha.”

The laughter at each other grew stronger.

The cheers of those who looked at them were an added bonus.

* * *

“Yes, I did. You really gave it all.”

Jason answered towards the crystal ball.

Total debt of 5 million magi. It was the Magi he had to receive in return for 100,000 gold.

all of that has been changed

To be honest, it wasn’t much compared to the value of money that humans have. However, I did not think it was a loss because I thought that the Magi points were more valuable.

And I hoped I wouldn’t be able to pay it off as soon as possible.

“It seems that the chief’s reputation is not in vain.”

Berge showed no hesitation.

He kidnapped the Crown Princess of Hilderan, kidnapped the Princess of Jespine, and kidnapped another Princess of Hilderan.

It is not difficult to carry out that series of processes. But even after doing all that, it could be said that it was Berger’s ability to survive until now.

Even if the process is only to hide the tower, how many demon lords can work well in other dimensions and violate standards such as faith at once?

No one is here. no one.

Others called Berge a crazy bastard, but he saw it differently.

Perhaps Berge is to thoroughly investigate Arain more than anyone else and follow the right solution more than anyone else.

‘But by what means? How do you know Araine is like this?’

Those in power may not know, Berge Deias was a rookie who had just graduated from the military academy.

How did he know about Arain?

He probably doesn’t have any special powers.

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t understand it.

“It’s too much.”

“Absolutely not. There is no Demon King who has earned 5 million points in just one year.”

“Well?”

“I will correct it. Not in Alain. So I like Berge-nim more and more.”

“Even so, I don’t know. This is my first time in this dimension.”

“Yes, Berge-nim knows very well that Alain is the first.”

So even more suspicious.

‘I’ll probably have to bleed a little.’

Jason decided to contact the Demon Realm after a very long time. I couldn’t waste even the slightest bit of magic points, so I wouldn’t do it unless it was really necessary.

At the same time, 2.5 million points came in.

“Then I will quit.”

“Oh, wait a minute.”

“Do you have anything to say?”

“Can I ask you just one question?”

“what?”

“What are you going to do next?”

“Is there any reason why the Demon Lord would be interested in the movements of other Demon Lords?”

“It’s not from another dimension, isn’t it Arain?”

No matter how hard Jason tried, there could be no problem if Berge was constantly having accidents.

“Do you want me to be quiet?”

“I will not deny it.”

“Well, I have no intention of doing anything for a while. I must have paid off the debt, and I plan to strengthen the tower.”

“thank you. Oh, but do you know? It has been a year since Berge-nim came here.”

“know.”

“Then you will know that the time to open the unity of the tower has already passed.”

Harmony in the tower is held once a year, regularly. However, it was forgotten for a while as the chaos continued due to the heroism that started from Berge, and Drakson’s death.

“Don’t let me participate. When and in which tower will it be held this time?”

“Two weeks later….”

Jason paused for a moment to grasp the atmosphere.

“How about doing something in Berge-nim’s tower? It’s been a year since Berge-nim built the tower, so I don’t think it’s bad to see it at least once.”

For a while, there was no answer.

“Don’t refuse.”

tuk-

contact has been lost

“···haha.”

Jason chuckled.

“···really.”

The laughter intensified.

“There are a lot of interesting people. These demon lords.”

He raised his one-eyed glasses.

* * *

“You’re in the arms business?”

“Yes. This is a disgraceful word, but war is spreading because of the demon king, the demon king of dead beasts, and the new demon king of lust.”

“The price of war equipment across the continent is skyrocketing.”

Hilderan has lost the two princesses.

Dormund, where the demon king of lust has worked his best.

Ormus lost his elite in the war with the beast.

In addition, the sudden and reckless abduction of the royal family by the Demon King of the Geumgang ignited the flames as if they had poured oil.

All of them were the butterfly effect caused by Berger.

『Of course, the price of war equipment will skyrocket depending on the actions of other demon lords including Berge. So, if it’s not rude, can you relax your plans a little?”

“Right. I’m sure we can buy and sell when the time is right if we know how it’s going to come out.”

“Yes that’s right.”

Berge pondered for a moment.

Ugar has no intention of making any other moves. It just kidnaps unimportant royalty, and it stops there.

Rayna is the same as before. won’t do anything.

The problem was the other two. Even before his return, Jason Cockmund is still unknown. And Vivian Blunt, who never appeared in her previous life.

‘Jason doesn’t move.’

The conversation we had just before was the clearest evidence above all. All that’s left is Vivian.

To be honest, I didn’t know what to do with the idiot who had a major accident as soon as he descended.

But one thing was certain.

Even if she had a bigger accident, it would stop there. That Jason won’t stand still.

“Vivienne Blunt, so aside from lust, it won’t cause any major problems. I don’t think the surge in war equipment won’t last long unless humans start wars or unexpected accidents happen.”

“thank you. It was a big help.”

“Continue to raise interim reports and contact us if you have more questions or needs.”

“Yes. Oh, and there are currently 21 elves who have purchased under the name above, but what should I do?”

“Elf.”

Yes, there were elves.

“What about Granada?”

“I followed Hero Hillen Cargill to the Hero Headquarters. I have not heard any further instructions.”

“It’s ambiguous.”

Granada must help Hillen form the raid. But the only person who could manage the elves was Granada.

‘It would be nice if Granada was divided into Granada and Nada and became two.’

That would be difficult.

‘If you want to use an elf, it’s one of the two. Either make them unaware of my existence or make them loyal to me with the oath of the World Tree.’

It was definitely the latter that Berge preferred. What is hidden will eventually be discovered someday. And when that time comes, the elves will always come back as bombs.

“For now, keep buying elves. And when Granada comes back from headquarters, take the elves and tell them to come to Hortonwalk.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Suddenly, a scene popped into Berge’s mind.

The dark spirits who rule the 4th floor and the dark elves who escort her from behind…

damn-

Berge’s head turned. And that wasn’t enough, so I hit the other side one more time.

“…I’m going crazy too.”

To recall such a childish name.

Berge did not forget the original purpose of purchasing the elves.

And the most important thing is the well-being of the tower.

‘Go into the tower and make an oath. And half of them on the 4th floor, and the other half in the raid.’

The treatment of the elves was decided.

* * *

A dungeon in a place that has come to be called the Tower of Chlorination by humans.

“···All right.”

The only prisoner there, Kaede Jespine, nodded.

“What?”

“What Ernya said is correct. I will do as Ernya says.”

“Have you decided?”

“Yes.”

Ernap’s persuasion didn’t last long, but her words touched Kaede’s heart one by one.

The Empire has forsaken her, so there is no need for allegiance.

If it is not found out, it will not harm the honor of the Empire.

Elves and a great warrior named Hillen Cargill also serve the Demon King. There is no reason why she can’t serve.

The demon king granted his request. You paid the price, but you can also trade for your future.

Even at this moment, you are weakening.

I didn’t agree with all of Ernyan’s words. However, if the Empire was not active in saving her, being imprisoned as it is now would do nothing to her.

Why did Kaede dislike arranged marriage?

It was because he hated the life of a doll who could not do anything as the rain of the old king of Ormus.

Because he wanted to become the best knight in the empire and run across the continent.

He didn’t want to rot in prison.

‘I’d rather be at that time…’

To swing the sword one more time.

Gathering Aurors through meditation.

Even if you lower your head like that, you will gain strength.

‘A better choice for later….’

will be

Even for the sake of one day when I gained strength and escaped.

Even in order to become a better knight, a hero.

“I will use the Demon King.”

“do it. The Demon Lord will also use you. So do I.”

Ernyan’s purple pupils gleamed.

“…but one thing.”

“yes.”

“Do you have to become a Dark Knight?”

“Why?”

“It’s a little childish…”

Kaede’s face turned red. He didn’t have the confidence to shout out with his own mouth, ‘I’m a dark knight!’

“You can’t do it if you don’t like it. But I don’t know if the Demon Lord will see it well.”

“···I’ll do it.”

“I thought about it. anybody home. I will go to the Demon King.”

“Yes.”

“You must be bored, so I’ll leave you Nairuniel.”

Ernn summoned the water spirit and disappeared.

The spirit blinked big eyes and sympathized with Kaede.

– I’m sorry. How bored were you in prison?

“it’s okay.”

– No, you don’t have to masturbate yourself like that. How about relaxing your weary mind by talking with me?

“Yes.”

– All right, I’ll tell you the subject, so pick one. The forbidden love between the Demon King and the Princess, the Demon King and the Hero’s Love, and the Demon King and the Knight’s Love.

“What are those bizarre things?”

– Well, that’s your story.

“·················ogue.”

Nairuniel did not remove his interesting gaze.

The princess has a lot of pride in chivalry, but she is also a hero.

For Nairuniel, Kaede Jespine was an interesting mass of material.
