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

013. spy

“Join Hillen Cargill’s bravery as a mercenary.”

“Do your best to help him and build his reputation.”

“Is this really the order the Demon King gave me?”

It is “The Demon King”. Let me act straight.”

“No, it’s strange whether it’s a Demon King or a Demon Lord, isn’t it? Where in the world is there a demon king to help the hero?”

“How do you know the deep meaning of that person?”

“You know that one well?”

“Shut up and obey your orders.”

Granada chuckled at the low growl.

“Well, what can a slave do? do it I don’t know if this is why I beheaded the Demon King. You’re too faithful to your orders.”

“After all, you white people are the ones who need to die to come to their senses.”

“You black people are no fun.”

The two elves met their gazes with the crystal ball in between. strange tension. It was Gordon who turned his head first.

“How could the Demon King be such an idiot…”

He lightly blown his nose and cut off contact. Granada scratched the back of her nose.

“What are you really up to?”

Participate in the heroic campaign to subdue yourself.

Granada measured the gap between the Demon King and himself.

At the time of the battle in the tower, it was not a normal body due to long slavery. His body was ill, his skills were rusted, and he was no different from a sick god.

But what about now?

It’s not perfect yet, but if you were yourself at that time, you could kill five people at once.

nevertheless.

“I don’t feel it.”

He must have been a demon king who had just descended, but he couldn’t understand how he was so strong. And its uniqueness.

“I don’t need to worry.”

Regardless of how strong or weak he is, as long as he swears by the World Tree, unless he dies, he must serve a hundred years.

It wasn’t a short time for the elves, but I didn’t regret it. It is better to become a servant of the Demon King and kill them than to live poorly as slaves to humans.

‘Especially that damn bastard.’

A hunter who captured himself and handed him over to a slave trader.

Suddenly, Granada bit her lip and came to her senses and left the secret room. He smashed the back of the head of the mercenaries, including Bark, who were drinking fervently.

“Ouch! What are you doing, Captain!”

“The command has come from the lord.”

“Finally?”

“Yeah, we join the bravery.”

“Healan Cargill?”

“Hilderan’s hero?”

“Aha, so have you ever commissioned the information guild for a hero? to be together?”

“Well, you can see that.”

It wasn’t, but it wasn’t a bad fit. Maybe the Demon King’s intentions were really like that.

“But if it’s Hillen Cargill’s bravery, there will be too many competitors.”

The reputation of being a warrior who had already cut off the demon king’s head was not something anyone could gain. As success is guaranteed, more hyenas will rush to pick up the falling crumbs and eat them.

“Then let’s go quickly.”

To become the biggest of the hyenas.

The red hawk mercenaries descended south.

“···What is this?”

Following the command of the Demon King, Gordon, who came down after giving Granada a mission, stopped in the foreground on the 4th floor.

“Are you here?”

The princess smiled and greeted him.

“I decorated it with a landscape that the spirits would like. How is it?”

“It’s a landscape you’ll like…”

Yes, the spirits must be fond of this kind of sight.

“Is this a river?”

“I wanted to do it bigger and like a real river, but my ability is lacking, so the valley is the limit.”

Water spirits were running around in a stream that meanders through a part of the fourth floor.

“This is a tree…”

An earth spirit was sleeping droopingly on a branch.

Fire spirits ran around the bonfire, and it was the wind spirits that caused the wind in the clogged tower.

‘It deals with all four attributes. It really was.’

“I made a forest on this side and a meadow on this side. Isn’t it refreshing?”

“It’s refreshing.”

Refreshing but too refreshing A gentle breeze tickled Gordon’s hair.

It was the ecosystem itself.

To compose a natural ecosystem in the Demon King’s Tower.

Although small in size, the princess was certainly not an ordinary person either.

“I thought I could decorate the entire 4th floor right away, but I can’t right now. Is it because your mana is thin?”

“You have decorated it well for such a thing.”

that’s natural The Mana of the Demon King’s Tower is as faint as it is overflowing with magic.

His ability to endure it and exert his strength this far was commendable enough. Unless it’s the kidnapped princess. And unless that place is the tower of the Demon King he serves.

‘I want to smash them all.’

If it hadn’t been for the Demon King’s orders, he would have actually done it. The spirits would have forced the reverse summons, captured the princess, and threw her into the dungeon.

‘If an absolute hero appears, we must make it impossible to go up to the 3rd floor or higher.’

Gordon was obsessed with a sense of duty. It was never to be discovered by other human beings in this image that undermines the prestige of the tower.

‘Why are you being so nice to a human princess?’

I understand that Arain is different from other dimensions. So, you need to look at the appropriate convenience. But no matter how you look at it, it wasn’t good enough.

“Ah, did you not know when the Demon King is going to look for Yeongcho again?”

“That is for the Demon Lord to decide.”

“Ah yes. I’m sorry.”

The princess bowed her head. That’s why Gordon didn’t see it. her expression.

twisted

has become undeniable.

He was an excellent craftsman, but at the same time kidnapped the hero.

As I watched the ass of the dwarf moving forward, my heart swelled.

Although neither the one who killed him nor the one who ridiculed him on the tower with him, he was a hero for the first time.

Even if they tore their limbs apart and crushed their necks, it wasn’t enough.

The craftsman needs to be saved again. Rumors of the kidnapping have spread among the Dwarves, but there’s nothing you can’t do if you put your mind to it.

But Berger persevered.

Because he is a warrior.

Because he died while being used by a hero.

‘Nara….’

There is no law that says not to use a hero.

Wouldn’t it be more enjoyable to roll like a dog and treat him like trash, returning the insult he had to endure more than twice, no, more than a thousand times.

Thinking about it, I barely suppressed my anger.

When I opened my eyes, I saw my butt again. In an instant, the anger surged.

When I asked him to guide me through the secret passage, was it intentional to bring him to a place like a dog that had to crawl without dignity?

I contemplated for a while whether to smash my ass. Then I withdrew because I thought I was going to die right away.

“Is it right to go to the exit?”

“No, that’s right.”

But the end was deeper underground. A small mine appeared.

Berge slapped the dwarf’s head without a word. The guy screamed.

“Hey, go over there and you’ll find an exit! It’s a small mine that was abandoned long ago, but I made a new road!”

After one hit, the tone became polite. not bad.

“Trust me one more time. And if it’s a lie, it won’t be fun.”

“It’s not a lie in the first place…”

“·················ogue.”

“Oh, no! But can I ask you just one question?”

Berger shook his head.

“Why did you kidnap me, the hero?”

“You were the one who promised to be arrested instead of the princess.”

“No, no matter what…”

The Hero and the Demon King are incompatible water and oil. I have never heard of a situation where the Demon King saves the Hero and the Hero saves the Demon King.

‘There is, but…’

That was a different case.

Because deliberately not going up to the top of the tower doesn’t save the Demon King.

“Don’t be idle, guide me quickly.”

“Yes, yes!”

The logger slipped through the small gap.

“Are you asking me to go in here?”

“The entrance is narrow because it is a passage I drilled secretly. It’s spacious once you go inside, so be patient…”

Qwajik-

Part of the entrance has collapsed. The wall that weighed on the logger disappeared.

“Actually, the passage is not that narrow.”

“.

“But it didn’t fall apart.”

“No, luckily it didn’t collapse, but in the basement it was always…”

“I wonder if he is deliberately taking the time to hold on to me.”

“Well, that’s absolutely not. Come on, let’s go!”

The passage was in the form of a stairway with a slight steep incline. Logger climbed onto the back of his legs with his short legs.

‘Now what?’

He was unable to overcome the threat and was trying to escape the demon lord himself, but he couldn’t predict the future.

Escape is impossible. But is there any reason why the Demon King would save him instead of the princess?

“…what are you going to do with me?”

“Do you want to live?”

Logger’s body trembled at the piercing word.

he was a warrior Although it is a different species that does not go out hunting and subjugation like other warriors, still…

A dignified person who does not beg for his life in front of the Demon King…

“I want to live.”

Logger cried. If he could throw his life away like a scorpion, he would have walked the battlefield, not the workshop. Becoming a warrior wasn’t something I wanted to do.

“Well.”

A cold feeling tickled his neck. Logger flopped down.

“Why should I, the Demon King, save you, the hero?”

“Hey, I’m very useful. Although his strength as a hero is bad, he has good dexterity!”

“It’s just one of many, many dwarves.”

“no! It sounds self-deprecating, but in the dwarven kingdom, no one doesn’t know about loggers! I pride myself on being the best among the Dwarves when it comes to dexterity!”

“Yeah, I’ll give it a hundred times and make it all true.”

Logger nodded fiercely at the demon king’s affirmation.

“But you, as a hero, are going to use that talent for me, the Demon Lord? Do you think that makes sense?”

“What else is nonsense!”

Logger shook his head desperately.

“Brave, Pallas bought a princess kidnapped by the Demon King of lies for a huge amount of gold.”

“The King of Horton Kingdom made a pact with the Demon King of Lies.”

“The Demon King of the Geumgang swept away the monsters in Ians Forest at the request of the Iasin Kingdom!”

“The Demon Lord of the Cold has returned the 12 heroes who entered his tower without any harm!”

Rumors that had come in knowingly spit out like a rapid-fire cannon. Rumors circulating only among the kingdom’s leaders and warriors.

“It’s no secret that the warriors and demon lords secretly cooperate! There is nothing that I cannot do for the Demon King, right?”

cook-

It was laughter that returned to the desperate cry.

It was hidden behind his back, but Logger predicted that the corners of his mouth would be raised.

I don’t know if that’s a positive meaning or a mockery of the negative. A cold sweat broke out from the tension.

“You came here to kidnap a princess, but you are being courted by a dwarf who is full-bodied.”

“I think it will be more useful than most people, at least in terms of utility! I wish I could be a spy!”

“It’s not you who judges it, it’s me.”

“Of course, of course!”

hmmm.

The Demon King wiped his chin for a moment.

“I don’t know if something like you would be useful…”

momentary silence. Logger’s breathing became heavy. My body trembled.

“If you cry and pray to this extent, there is nothing you cannot be willing to show mercy to. Because I am a generous demon king.”

Logger turned and banged his head on the floor.

“thank you! Thank you very much! Great Demon King! hurray!”

“Get up.”

The demon king’s hand lifted him up.

“please···.”

He shrugged his shoulders and smiled.

“I hope you will not forget that mindset today, short warrior.”

If so.

“The worst thing you think is never going to happen.”

“of course! The grace you have given me today will be engraved in my bones! Thank you so much!”

‘Sah, I lived. I lived…!’

Logger’s legs were weakened and he sat down again. I swallowed my runny nose and wiped away my tears.

‘Ah, I will never be involved with the princess from now on.’

Although the Demon King will use him as a spy, he will never get involved in any way.

And I will go into hiding and avoid the touch of the Demon King.

So that the same misfortune as today, or the luck of the demon king freeing the hero, does not happen again.

firmly, very firmly committed.

the feeling of being alive. A faint smile was drawn over Logger’s face.
