The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing

After enjoying the cheers, Zun Zun didn't show any pride, only a faint smile. His composure only further convinced the surrounding adventurers that these three were powerful Arch Wizards.

You should know that in the novice village of Axel, Wizards are a rare profession, let alone three Arch Wizards, especially the Crimson Demons who are best suited for the Arch Wizard profession.

Soon, the adventurers surrounded them.

"Hey, you there, you haven't joined a party yet, have you? Have you decided who you want to adventure with in this town?"

"Hey, wait a minute, you're too cunning! I was here first!"

"Choose us!"

They were all trying to scout the three of them.

Zun Zun had the most people around him, followed by Megumin, and even Yunyun had several people around her.

But…

"Does your party have advanced classes? What is your level? What type of quests do you usually do?"

Zun Zun's three deadly questions, like a mother-in-law, made many adventurers look embarrassed and retreat.

Some had advanced classes but not enough levels, others had enough levels but only did ordinary quests. In the end, these people were not strong enough, far less powerful than Zun Zun and his companions.

Looks like it's still not going to work.

"Sorry, I don't have the leisure to play house with you here. You are too weak. It's better not to form a party at all."

Zun Zun showed with his actions that it was better for the three Crimson Demons to form a party together.

But this action displeased the other adventurers, who said, "Hey, I admit you are advanced Arch Wizards, and also Crimson Demons, but it's still better to form a party for quests, right?"

"Who decided that?"

"…Eh? Of course it's… everyone does it that way."

"Hmph, so-called rules are prepared for those who cannot survive without following the rules. Rules are meant to be broken."

Zun Zun stopped looking at them, flicked his cloak, and said to his two companions behind him, "Alright, let's go, to the end of the rules."

Megumin also deeply agreed, so she puffed out her chest and followed along. Yunyun, who was surrounded by so many people for the first time, was a little regretful, but seeing Zun Zun and Megumin leave, she quickly followed.

The three seemed bored with this guild.

As they walked towards the path leading to the guild door, a middle-aged man with a mohawk and overalls leaned against a pillar of the guild and asked in a low voice, "Is this really okay? Being too rigid might lead to being broken."

Good question, Overalls!

Zun Zun thought that no one would give him a way out, but he didn't expect this dark horse to be so good at it.

"Then I can only say that I am only this good. Besides, I have no intention of getting along well with you all, after all…" Zun Zun looked around and raised his head arrogantly, "You are all just stepping stones on my invincible path."

"Wh-What!?"

"That's too arrogant!"

"Arrogant and conceited guy, isn't he just the one with the most magic power, the advanced class, the rare Arch Wizard, and also a Crimson Demon, and also good-looking? I'm not jealous! Damn it, I'm not jealous at all! Wuwuwu!"

The adventurers condemned Zun Zun.

But Overalls looked at him approvingly and said, "A very motivated young man, you might really be able to do it."

—You understand me.

—You too.

The two exchanged glances in secret.

Then Overalls continued, "But I still suggest you team up with people from the guild. Although they are not strong, they have good potential. Maybe someday they will satisfy you?"

"I don't think so. Well… since that's the case, then I will reluctantly accept your request."

Since there's a way out, then quickly take it.

"But please don't bother me with simple tasks. After all, even the superior demons were easily defeated by us. Simple work will only make people bored."

Zun Zun subtly mentioned their achievements, which immediately made the guild noisy.

"What, a superior demon! Is that the superior demon that at least a dozen advanced classes are needed to defeat!?"

"Hey, could it be that superior demon, the one that the merchants reported the other day…"

"No wonder he's so arrogant. If I could defeat a superior demon, I would definitely be more arrogant!"

Reversal.

When they heard that he could defeat a superior demon, the adventurers showed astonished and understanding expressions. Even Overalls was slightly stunned.

Finally, Zun Zun gave Overalls a knowing look, then led Megumin and Yunyun away with their heads held high, leaving behind a group of adventurers looking at their backs with admiration.

Pretending to be cool successfully!

Next, all they have to do is wait for people to come to their door.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!

That's right, as long as they do one quest and let these people know how powerful they are, they will definitely become popular and famous, and then there will be a steady stream of requests.

However—

One day passed, two days passed, three days passed…

Today was the third day that Zun Zun and his companions sat in the corner of the guild, bored and dazed. Their butts were sore from sitting, but still no one came to offer a team invitation or issue a request.

Ah, huh?

What went wrong?

Although Zun Zun said those words before, he didn't ask for too much. Even the reward was just an even split. Coming to the guild's request board, his request form was also properly posted there, but why didn't anyone come!

Suddenly, he saw an adventurer posting a request on the bulletin board.

It said that they needed an Arch Wizard, and there were no restrictions on the magic that could be used. The goal of the quest was slimes that were rampant in the forest.

"Excuse me, big sister."

Zun Zun grabbed her shoulder.

Suddenly stopped, the female adventurer with brown wavy hair trembled. She looked at Zun Zun with red glowing eyes and timidly asked, "Wh-What's wrong?"

"This…"

Zun Zun took down the request form she posted and said, "Big sister, you need a mage, right? Why don't you come to us? We are Arch Wizards, and also Arch Wizards who defeated a superior demon, and even ask for the reward to be split evenly. There are no more suitable adventurers than us, right!"

"Th-This…"

The big sister explained with a troubled expression.

What he didn't know was that Zun Zun's requirements were indeed not excessive at all, and could even be said to be particularly generous.

But the problem is that Axel is a town for novice adventurers, and the monsters around are not strong, so the bounty obtained after completing the quest is relatively small.

The party configuration in this world is 4-6 people (official setting), and normally only one mage is missing, but Zun Zun and his companions are together.

Having a few more Arch Wizards does make the work easier and smoother, but at the same time, the already meager salary becomes even scarcer and outweighs the benefits, so no one came to invite them.

And don't forget, many adventurers in Axel are guys who choose to muddle through, and without ambition, how could they do high-difficulty quests?

Zun Zun finally understood.

He originally thought that establishing a role similar to a mercenary could sit back and relax, but he didn't expect that being too strong would become an unattainable existence. He was purely lifting a stone to drop it on his own foot!
