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

Chapter 84

084. Expedition

“Cer, cry.”

“therefore?”

“It hurts.”

“It should have hurt more, but it’s a pity that I only hit one.”

The incident in which the annex collapsed was concluded as the princess’s chimera was unable to control her power and had an accident.

But that didn’t mean that Berge’s anger was resolved.

It was a felony to tear a single demon, even a dog that was modified by a human, against the spirit of the demon lord, even if it were torn and killed right away.

If this wasn’t the lord of Horton Walk, and without the princess of Akan right in front of it, the Titan would have turned into a Ta/I/Tan and rolled around the snowy mountains.

“What is that guy doing?”

“regret.”

“It’s crazy.”

It was a rare spectacle I had never seen before in my previous life to see the giants squatting while staring at the wall and trembling.

If Ugar had seen that, he would have decapitated his head immediately, saying it was a disgrace to the race.

“Tell me one more time and I will pluck out my tongue.”

“I like it.”

“Is it because you liked it?”

whatever.

“But why do you keep coming?”

“great.”

“I?”

“Mana.”

After those words, Lavinia shut her mouth. It was easy to guess what the pupils were thinking, shaking to and fro.

I want to ask for mana, but I’ve already made a promise, so I can’t do it right now.

And then, he came one step closer. knocked and pushed

“why.”

“If you use mana by my side, I will not stand still.”

“know. just.”

“There is no such thing as just.”

Gradually, patience is reaching its limit.

Nervously, all the remaining cars were one-shot. He pulled up a chair and got up from his seat.

“where?”

“What does it matter?”

“chimera.”

if you make

“Give me?”

“give. I promised.”

“yes.”

Lavinia smiled brightly. He disappeared along with the titan who was trembling while looking at the wall.

“Annoying.”

If it wasn’t for the princess, I would have just ignored it.

‘By the way, what do you mean by these?’

It’s been four days since I’ve been here. During that time, Lavinia came every day, but Cain and other Akan chiefs did not find him.

It was an act that was quite far from the initial hospitality.

“Did you notice?”

After all, if you easily believe that you are a royal family, is that a hoguji or royalty?

‘This is my mistake.’

I didn’t expect even a very simple situation and it came down flat.

He was probably smiling in front and digging behind Berger in the back. But I didn’t care.

‘It’s enough if you run away.’

It would be nice if the status of Fail was better in the human world, but there was no need to hang around it.

Granada, because Hillen Cargill is his agent.

Granada and Hillen are intertwined, but if you tell them they don’t know you, it’s time to say Shichimi.

It’s okay to say that you didn’t know that they happened to be in a relationship, but they were pretending to be royalty.

‘I must be a little suspicious, but…’

Well, what do you do?

Now Hillen Cargill is the great warrior who killed the two demon kings and the guild’s Argan. Nothing like this would do any harm to him.

grew that much.

So another week.

“Now, would you like to make a proper contract?”

Even though it was clear that the investigation had been completed, Cain casually offered the contract.

* * *

The long wait that had consumed another week was over.

In the meantime, Berget went around the annex and the castle as a guest to find out what the Arkans were preparing for.

‘At first, the chimera and artifacts.’

Artifacts to prepare for the monsters that will come at night and the Chimera, the Demon Dog, who will pursue the Magi. Whether it should be called a magic kingdom, the vast amounts of materials that come in every day were all magical artifacts.

‘Isn’t this really going to come all the way to the tower?’

With this level of preparation, it was not a matter of day or night. The moment the monsters rush in, it’s good if they don’t get annihilated.

‘Doing nothing at all?’

No, that’s a handshake. If he hadn’t attached Granada, he had no choice but to pretend to be a guide in order not to be suspicious as long as he was attached as a guide, but in the process, the distance they have to go around is greatly reduced.

‘If I had known it would be like this, I would not have called Granada.’

Of course, that didn’t mean they were unconditionally finding the tower.

If it were, Erzest would never have been banned.

In that damned place, there are monsters that the current Berge can’t handle.

The problem is that the probability increases significantly, and Berger does not want that case.

It was around that time that Cain sent his servant to have lunch together.

“Welcome, Fail-sama.”

Kyle was the only restaurant in the restaurant where other leaders expected to be there.

The maid brought food. It was a tenderloin steak.

“Eat it.”

“I do.”

Berge cut the steak with a knife. Behind the crispy outer surface, the bright red flesh was revealed. The degree of cooking is medium rare. The meat was of good quality and tender with just the right gravy.

“Do you like it?”

“It smells like pepper.”

“Oh, do you hate pepper?”

“It sounds like you like it.”

“I’m happy.”

Cain laughed. After that, the conversation was cut off. For a long time in the restaurant, there was only the sound of each other eating steak.

widely-

Cain put down his knife and fork. He wiped his mouth with a napkin and took a sip of the red wine.

“I have received a call from my home country.”

“Communication?”

“Are you not going to make a deal?”

“I waited. Quite late.”

“It was not a light issue, so there were things to consider.”

Cain rang the bell in front of him. The servant who was waiting outside came in and handed the documents to Berge.

“Read it once.”

The content did not change significantly from the oral conversation with each other.

Berger supplies mana to Akan.

Akan pays Berge in money and artifacts.

The document had specific numbers written on it.

“Isn’t it too much of a second-class artifact for 200 gold per storage?”

“It’s okay to overdo it. I was very careful.”

“I see.”

200 gold was never a small amount of money. up to the artifacts. It was even more so in that the storage equipment that Berger had to give Akan was not nuclear but volatile mana that would be consumed someday.

‘I was thinking about 50 gold at most…’

50 gold is a lot of money. However, I thought that the mana of the phoenix was worth that much.

It’s a pity it wasn’t Berger. However, it seems to be more disappointing than expected.

“It doesn’t seem like they just want mana.”

“It is correct to look only at Mana. I just want to create a relationship by buying Fail-sama’s favor.”

No way.

Berge did not accept it as it was.

‘It may be more money by considering the relationship with Hillen or Granada.’

In any case, it was not Berger who would refuse to give it.

“Do you like it?”

“I like you.”

But there were parts I didn’t understand.

Obviously, there should have been a background check on Berge, but there was no mention of him.

Cain didn’t say anything until the meal was over.

“Then I will refill one reservoir within a week.”

“Yes. We will arrange a driver for the storage area and send it to your accommodation. I will give you the promised price if you give me mana.”

“I do.”

Berger went out. The attendant cleared the empty plate. article came in.

“Do you really need to keep going like this? He is not royalty.”

He scanned the genealogy of all kingdoms and royal families. It cannot be said that he has completely identified all the royal families, but he has found all those who are familiar with it.

And nowhere in the royal family called Fail, there was no one presumed to be him.

Someone said that Pale should be arrested immediately and charged with impersonating the royal family.

It was a theory, but Cain made the opposite choice.

“there is. A being with pure mana would have taken a different approach, but he has a deep connection with Hillen Cargill.”

Roselle Chartres explained how she had a relationship with Fail and gained mana.

“In the final battle to subdue the Demon King, I dared to persuade Roselle to push Hillen Cargill in. If it’s a casual relationship, it’s never going to happen.”

Hillen is the rising sun. At the age of only his late 20s, he killed two demon kings and became the ruler of the Heroes’ Guild.

What has been accomplished so far is great, but it is even more important that the future is expected to be even greater.

“And we cannot completely rule out the possibility that he is royalty.”

More kingdoms, more royals. As I said to Fail, it was not that there were no royals who had to hide their identities for some reason.

If fail was one of them, it was impossible to find it in a short period of time. Just in case, Cain did not ignore the small possibility.

“It is important to keep researching and, above all, to know how Hillen Cargill and Fail met.”

“Yes, we will keep looking.”

“Even if there is nothing wrong with it, we will keep the relationship as long as there are no major problems. It’s true that his mana would help, even if not for Hillen Cargill.”

Pure mana will be of great help to the research of the tower.

“And above all….”

Whatever the reason, your sister doesn’t like it that much.

“No, no.”

Cain swallowed his last words.

There was no need to even tell a knight.

A week has passed.

Berge filled a storage bin and handed it to the prince. The prince gave him the promised money and artifacts.

And that first deal became the last deal right away.

“I told you I could reach you through you.”

“Yes.”

“Goodbye.”

“Yes.”

“Do your best, but don’t just do it if you have any doubts about it. You have to work another 99 years and die.”

“Does it feel like a few more months have been added?”

“Such trivial things are usually rounded off.”

“All right. Are you going to return to the tower?”

“The preparations to meet you are already finished. My advice is to watch out for monsters and eyes.”

“···crazy. Is it the same method as back then?”

“Ah, just in case, you know what if you find the tower and enter the first floor, right?”

“I will never open it.”

“Keep the prince and the princess far away. It really hurts when they die.”

“I don’t know if I can do that, but I’ll try.”

“You have a long tongue for elven subjects.”

“…I will do it anyway.”

Berger smiled contentedly.

“The red hawks have nothing to worry about. You’ll know how to survive like a mouse.”

“It’s sad that I can’t deny that.”

“Nothing.”

After greeting Lavinia and Cain, Berge, who had asked Granada for the last time, left Horton Walk without looking back.

Not long after the deal was made between Berge and Akan Kingdom, Akan finally stretched out.

“Come out!”

Blue Meteor Wizards, White Wolf Knights, and even the elite soldiers who received 200 supplements.

A total of 400 troops were joined by the Red Hawk raiders to begin the expedition to Hortonworks.

Snow does not melt all year round.

Summers are cold and winters are harsh.

A blizzard is coming The pure white snow was covered with red blood.

The steam produced by the hot blood means that their death is not too long ago.

“it’s over. There are no survivors.”

Frost Demon, Armand, exhaled white breath. His lord answered over the crystal ball.

“Good work.”

“I just did what I had to do, of course.”

“Come out as is. Don’t leave any traces of what you did.”

“Yes.”

Even if you don’t leave it, you’ll get a rough guess. However, heart and water symptoms are different.

White Suri and Gillian will notice that this is a warning from the Demon King.

However, for the heavy ass of the Empire, they are just a barbarian tribe swept away by monsters.

The difference was important.

“Don’t go back to the tower, and watch the white repairman.”

“I take orders.”

Demons and demons have now escaped from the tribe that has no one left.

Only the shattered wreckage and corpses indicated that someone had just been alive.

* * *

“Nina.”

“Yes, my lord.”

After finishing the communication, Reina leaned back on her chair.

“How do you think it will be?”

“First of all, you will be angry.”

“and?”

“I might be able to use the numbers on the Empire and the Heroes’ Guild. But in the Empire, it is very likely that you will not hear it.”

“why?”

“Based on the data we received from the Demon King Jason last time, the Empire is hoping for a decrease in the number of Northern Barbarians.”

Decades since Reina Sordain was established. As the monsters in the snow fell under her shadow one by one, unnecessary collisions were reduced to a minimum.

It led to its own peace and explosive population growth of the northern tribes.

Of course, it was not desirable from the point of view of the Empire. The snowfield is nominally the Empire’s territory, and the Barbarians are also the Empire’s people, but everyone knows that it’s just a wrapper.

“Then I’ll just ignore it.”

“Yes. Of course, if the number decreases too much, we will come back.”

“I guess that’s the key.”

Reina smiled satisfied.

He didn’t like the fact that he had to look at the empire built by humans, but she was a demon king who knew how to face reality.

Now this was the best.

woo woo woo-

At that moment, one of the communication ports on one side of the office vibrated violently.

“Ugar?”

Reina injected her with magic.

“Reina Sordain. I am sure about that.”

she asked in a sudden noise.
