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

032. Dwarf-style repaying favors

“The lotus of the wind, right?”

“okay. The lotus of the wind located on the magical street of Amur. And its owner is Jetson. Remember it.”

“What is it all of a sudden?”

“He was a cheeky bastard who tried to eat me on his back.”

『…do you have multiple lives?』

“Well, he ate the Dwarf princess instead of me.”

『…are you alive?』

“Anyway, I confirmed his talent. It’s a natural thing to eat other people’s back. So I plan to take it to the top of the Golden Moon. I already paid the advance.”

“Did you say you would come with money?”

“In that case, I would not have contacted you or told the princess. If you don’t want to come, you can make them come.”

“···Oh My God. to the princess.”

“Get to know him. Where are you from, how old are you and what are your circumstances? Why did you open the store, how did you get it, and what are your assets? From one to ten, everything.”

“… he looks pitiful. No, before that, I should pray from the beginning of my life.”

After cutting off contact with Granada, Berge bought Seniel powder from roe deer leaves.

“There are lower, intermediate, upper, and superlative. Which one would you like to purchase?”

“What is the difference?”

“It is the quality of mana stones and materials. It all comes together and there is also a difference in quality and efficiency.”

“Everything that is top notch.”

“10 top-grade seniel powder, 10 gold.”

The superlative powder had pure mana that could not even be compared with the ones I saw at Jetson’s shop.

almost polar opposite. I realized that what that damn bastard sold was the lowest level, the middle level no matter how well I hit it.

“How much are the others?”

“The upper level is 50 silver, the intermediate level is 30 silver, and the lower level is 10 silver.”

‘Shouldn’t have cut off her limbs instead of telling the princess?’

I liked the talent and wanted to play it, but the thought that I almost would have won it made me annoyed.

That was then.

“You are still here.”

it was louis

“Thanks to that, I was able to avoid being scammed. I want to give an example.”

“How did he do it?”

“Unfortunately, being an Amur, I couldn’t break a limb. Why are there so many things to be patient with?”

Louise drooled and spilled the article. It must mean that he was desperately dry.

‘No matter how much you dry it, it won’t break your limbs. The princess endured a lot because it was the royal road of another country.’

“Instead, I swept away some things. I would like to share some with you.”

“Not required. Everything is inferior.”

“It was. There was nothing right in that swindler bastard.”

I also had to break my limbs. Louise grumbled.

The knight shouted ‘Absolutely not!’

“Anyway, how about having a meal together? I will buy you a very generous one.”

“Not required.”

I didn’t want to get involved with Louise.

Although he kidnapped the logger out of necessity, a dwarf prince or princess was dirty shit that he had to avoid.

“no. I have learned that kindness must be repaid.”

“…Forcibly repaying something you don’t like would not be repaying a favor.”

“I was taught that grace must be repaid unconditionally.”

Louise grabbed his hand. It was not an easy atmosphere to let go of.

“…it is.”

Berge, who did not want to have an accident, had no choice but to join the dwarven kind of repaying the favor.

* * *

“How are you? He said this restaurant is the most expensive and famous place in Amur. right?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

The knight nodded eagerly.

As Louise said, the restaurant was luxurious. The interior was old-fashioned, and the view from the top of the 20th floor was not bad either.

And the food was definitely delicious.

‘Granada’s is food waste compared to this.’

If you say something like this, you’ll probably jump on your feet because you’re not a cook.

“But it looks like you have a lot of money, so why did you hang out in such a cheap shop?”

“I am looking for someone.”

“Without hiring people?”

“It’s the one I want to find myself.”

Louise smiled coldly. Berge vowed never to let Logger and the princess meet.

“Whoever it is, I’m sorry.”

“He has no right to be pitiful.”

With her determination, Berge knew that she would follow Logger to the ends of the continent. If you look at the behavior before the return, it was unconditional.

‘It’s annoying.’

I haven’t found any traces yet, but I didn’t know what I’d do if, really, I found out that I had kidnapped him.

In that case.

“Is that Logger Friedree?”

Quang-

The princess jumped up. The table turned over. The knight’s sword was placed around his neck.

“How did know?”

“I like my ears. What do you do when you cover your face, you have to be careful about what you say. Louise Werft.”

“…Did I do that?”

“Your voice was a little loud. But it’s a little suspicious to know that I’m a princess just by that.”

The knight’s cold momentum put pressure on Berge.

“Who are you? Did you approach it intentionally?”

“That’s a funny thing. Princess, aren’t you the one who forced something you didn’t like?”

“…but it is.”

“I’m here to help. I’ve met Logger Friedree.”

“what? When, where!”

“Two months ago, in Ormus.”

“The logger went to Ormus? In that corner?”

“I am wandering around the continent in search of magical ingredients. I saw him by chance in Tarta, the rainforest city of Ormus.”

“How do you believe that?”

The knight sent an uncertain look. He suspected that Berger had intentionally approached him.

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe it.”

Berger pulled something out of his arms. necklace. It was originally done by the logger, but when he went to rescue the ghost of mana, he left it out to fill the shackles and couldn’t return it.

“This···!”

“It must be the logger’s! It was his first work, so it had no effect, but he always wore it like an amulet.”

The two dwarves recognized their identities.

‘Is that so?’

Somehow, when I asked him to put it out, he started crying and screaming. Well, after a few hits, I was calm.

“Where did you find this?”

“Didn’t you tell me? It’s called Tarta.”

“There is no way the logger can take this necklace off… no way···.”

“He didn’t die. I just picked up what was lost because it was attacked by monsters.”

“There are cut marks.”

It was a trace that Berger forcibly cut it off because he didn’t want to let it go.

“Thank you!”

The princess grabbed Berge’s hand.

“Thanks, I got a clue. I’ve been blessed again. How am I supposed to repay this…”

“It’s funny.”

He held the sword with his bare hands.

profit-

The sword bent with a bizarre sound.

“To hold a sword around someone’s neck and say good fortune.”

Dare to stick a knife to someone’s neck? On the subject of dwarf cubs.

“uh···?”

“···Oh My God.”

Louise and the knight made a confused expression.

“I’m learning how ignorant the dwarves are today.”

Berge got up. Louise hurriedly grabbed him.

“wait. I apologize for this.”

“Not required. I don’t want to associate with a dwarf again.”

“Because my identity is my identity, the knights are sensitive. There are so many people who approach me with such intentions.”

“Should I take your problems into account?”

“Of course not.”

She forced a small plaque into her hand.

“It’s a sign that you are my benefactor. If you bring it to the kingdom, the best craftsmen will make the best equipment.”

“Receive this because it looks useful.”

Berge disappeared.

“···black?”

“It was wrinkled to the point of being unusable. It’s so easy to make a sword made of alloy…”

The elasticity and strength of the dwarf alloy were the best on the continent.

“You mean you just crumpled up a weapon made by a craftsman without using mana?”

“What would you like to do? It could be a trap.”

“Is that necklace real?”

“Yes.”

“Then let’s go. The fact that it’s a trap, a Nabal, and he’s there means it’s highly likely to be real. If you don’t push him, the castle won’t be released.”

Louise’s eyes twinkled.

“Call Obama and ask for reinforcements.”

“Yes.”

didn’t know them

Ormus, where half of the country is filled with jungle, was chosen by Berge because it was the domain of Draxon, the demon king of beasts.

So called, it was a bomb blast.

* * *

“···failure?”

“Can’t you even see the Demon King’s Tower?”

“Healan Cargill?”

Humans are social animals that form groups.

It was also natural to gather and form a group as the heroes overflowed throughout the dimension.

The warriors created a guild for their rights and interests, to share information and to deal with the demon king more smoothly.

Thus the Heroes’ Guild was born.

A place like the devil’s nemesis.

Hundreds of years have passed now, and it is a place where even the Demon King has been tricked.

The place was turned upside down.

It was different from when the members of Wharton Colo and some of the warriors descended.

As Erzest, I just thought it would take a little more time. No one expected that that belief would turn into a complete failure.

“The tower was nowhere to be found.”

“Nonsense···.”

“Hundreds of years have passed since the coming of the Demon King. Dozens of demon kings have descended. For hundreds of years, there has not been a single demon lord who has hidden the tower.”

“So we are not together again.”

It was not uncommon for a meeting of elders to be reconvened after only a few weeks.

“This demon lord can never be underestimated.”

“Healan Cargill is a tenacious warrior. I must have searched the mountain like this for weeks, but the fact that I couldn’t find it was that I was determined and hid it.”

“No matter what, the Demon King can’t do that…”

“Aren’t the results already out!”

“Everyone is quiet.”

The elders kept their mouths shut at the words of the man sitting at the top.

“There is no doubt that the new Demon King is a person of interest. The news we had been waiting for before we could discuss him.”

“Did you get an answer?”

A hologram was shot from the mana seat in the center of the conference room.

“Your name, Berge Deias.”

“He mainly deals with fire and his physical abilities are the highest among demons.”

“As a special feature, he insults the standard of the Demon Realm and is known as a nerd in the Demon World.”

One elder frowned.

“Is this all? What kind of race and what kind of person he is, what kind of demons he brought, how many demons are there, and what is the structure of the tower?”

“exactly.”

“Are these fucking bastards trying to break cooperation like this?”

“Because they say come and go, they must see us as hogu. You have to show them when you saw them!”

“We need to select the heroes and start the bravery right now!”

The elders were angry. But the man shook his head with his arms crossed.

“No, even demon lords cannot go to the tower of other demon lords. And it has not been long since the new Demon King has descended. It’s natural that you don’t know unless you tell them directly.”

“Ah, sure…. It was so rampant in such a short amount of time that I overlooked it.”

It was extremely rare for the demon kings to be able to confirm each other’s towers without the harmony of the towers. The orthodoxy was that no matter how close they were, they would not personally invite each other to each other’s towers.

“I mean, you can’t know about the tower right now.”

“I will.”

The elders clicked their tongues of regret. A totally unexpected person came, and you don’t know any information.

“Why don’t you mobilize all the heroes and put an end to it at the beginning?”

“They have something to say with this short story. ‘He despises the standard. He is neither like a demon king nor like a demon. Take that into account.’”

A funny guy has come The man smiled bitterly.

“that···.”

“Are you saying you’re a demon lord who doesn’t follow standards?”

It was the worst situation I had ever imagined. It was the emergence of an irregular that made all the standards established by the Heroes’ Guild into garbage.

There is a high possibility that the tower built up with the blood and experience of countless warriors will collapse.

“Aren’t you already doing that?”

“But you kidnapped the princess. Even the princess this time.”

“I will not break everything. After all, the standard of the Demon World is for their efficiency. But you should also keep in mind that you can unconditionally twist where you want to be at a disadvantage.”

“Oh My God.”

Why did the hero start to despise the demon king?

This is not only because the number of warriors is large, but also because they knew the reality of what the demons called standard considered sacred. Because it was used backwards.

“What the hell is that bastard ignoring the standard? No, do you mean that demon realm people are crazy and make such a demon king?”

“That’s it, we have no way of knowing.”

“perhaps···.”

The elder swallowed a moan.

“perhaps?”

“The demon realm may be trying to end this phase.”

“Let’s go on.”

“It has been hundreds of years since the Demon King descended on our dimension. I didn’t know it before, but isn’t it now certain that the Demon King is the vanguard of the Demon Realm?”

The man nodded his head.

“Such vanguards have failed dozens of times, so if the demons had a brain, wouldn’t they try to make a change? A guy named Berge Deias is the first to try.”

“…that sounds plausible.”

“If you look at it that way, you were using the tower’s unity as an excuse, but maybe it was intentionally hidden.”

“But they didn’t look favorably on Berge Deias.”

“This is a new attempt in the Demon World, so you may not like it. However, since it is the decision of the superior, I will follow it for now.”

“There is a possibility.”

“It’s enough for demons…”

The elders nodded one by one.

“Wouldn’t it be better to smash it in the first place so that it never happens again?”

“no.”

The man habitually licked his lips.

“I’ll just leave it alone.”

“Are you saying that you are ignoring me?”

“Isn’t that a good opportunity?”

The corners of his lips rose.

“The current continent is so used to the Demon King. As the damage caused by the Demon King has decreased, the national power is increasing day by day. so maybe There are cheeky bastards who insist on the useless theory of the Hero Guild.”

It wasn’t even a secret. Since the peace was long, the number of those who did not belong to any country and did not like the guild of heroes with enormous power were increasing.

“Thanks to whoever it is that I can rest comfortably, that the continent has not been destroyed, that I have not become a slave to the Demon King.”

“Forgetting everything and now they are setting up their own to take care of the hero.”

I don’t even know the topic.

The elders trembled at the gentle living.

“Wouldn’t it be nice if a new absolute evil called Berge Deias would raise awareness throughout the continent? The present peace is not really true peace.”

“You are right.”

“Especially, Jespine’s Ahn Ha Muin has gone beyond the limit.”

Right after the 9th Princess was kidnapped, it was no secret that the reaper of Jespine turned the Hero’s Guild upside down.

“You’re acting like that just because you paid a little bit of money…”

“We need to make people realize that they are at peace thanks to whom.”

“Okay then. Do it in moderation and let the situation unfold.”

A decision was made.

* * *

Logger was in trouble.

will you rip? not?

All of the magic cannons have already been repaired. By further refining the mana stones, the durability was slightly lowered, but the firepower was increased.

Perhaps the next fighters won’t pass as easily as Hillen Cargill.

All orders given by the Demon King have been fulfilled. So, can’t we do some actions for the individual now?

‘Actually, this is mine. So maybe I have the ownership?’

Logger drooled while examining the ghost of Mana, who had been completely integrated with the tower.

The traces of the past he made remain only very faint. The power was changed to magic, and the structure itself changed abruptly.

The logger was curious about the principle. I wanted to take a look at how it turned into a tower accessory and how it could be hidden.

“Yeah, right. this is not a tower Artifacts I made. Of course, I can’t say it’s completely mine now, but can’t I just open it up a little bit?”

Taking a deep breath, I slowly found the equipment.

Shall we check the durability by cracking it with a hammer? No, it might break. So first, loosen the screws and completely disassemble…

“Are you going to break it?”

“…Hey!”

Logger flopped down. Missing equipment flew through the air. The wind spirit gently picked them up.

“Why are you so surprised?”

“Please don’t show up in surprise from behind!”

“Are you going to rip it off?”

“…I don’t rip it off.”

Logger slowly put down his hammer.

“What are you doing?”

“I have to work, but do you come to me? Between us?”

“It’s nothing.”

“They were kidnapped together. Among the many people, very few are kidnapped by the Demon King. In particular, what is the probability that we will be able to meet and talk freely like this?”

“…what do you want to say?”

Logger had a hard time with this handsome princess. His playful expression looked like a bad boy who didn’t know where he was going.

“Would you like some cookies?”

“Yes.”

Still, cookies mixed with green grass were always welcome. Oops, the princess also chewed the cookie herself.

“How about the new princess?”

“I am not modest. It’s not even heavenly.”

“Are you saying it’s ambiguous?”

“It means swinging your sword all day long.”

“…and what else is that?”

“For the first three days, I slept peacefully. I don’t think it was an adaptation period. Dogs don’t come out of their cages at first when they come to a new environment, right?”

“What kind of animal is the princess?”

“Can’t it just make sense?”

“…it is.”

Even Logger wasn’t a Dwarf who valued politeness. In particular, there was something that happened to Princess Louise, so I don’t really like princesses or princesses.

“The next two days I spent all day cleaning up my weapons and armor.”

“Come to think of it, he was wearing knight armor when he came in.”

“And now I am wielding a sword.”

“… now?”

“It smells like sweat. I want to get to know you a little bit, but I don’t have anything to do other than eat and exercise, so I don’t have time to talk.”

“So you came down?”

“I thought it would fit well if the princess increased, but it’s difficult.”

Ernya grumbled a little. In this empty tower, a new person was like the vitality of a boring daily life.

“It’s nice to see more people, though.”

It is a pity that the vitality is not interested in himself and he only does his own thing, but it was good to feel the vitality of a person.

“I wouldn’t think so.”

From what I’ve heard, she seems like a hero who joined Hillen Cargill and came to hunt the Demon King at the same time as a princess…

‘It only seems to be gaining strength to escape the tower.’

I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to escape. Anyway, she was also a hero, so it wasn’t completely out of the question.

“Would you like one more?”

“Yes. thank you.”

‘If possible, I’d like to break the tower while training. Then wouldn’t the Demon King leave the repairs to me? Then legally disassemble….’

I chewed the cookie hard, thinking nonsense. The sweet and bitter taste was excellent.

* * *

“···what?”

『The lotus of wind located in Amur, the royal capital. The owner of the store, Jetson. I want you to think about how to destroy him without any harm.”

“Is it the Demon King’s order?”

“okay. You know, I’m a little busy, right? Unlike anyone else.”

“Shut up.”

A giggle could be heard over the crystal ball. Gordon barely suppressed the urge to tear his snout.

“Well, anyway, I put a quest in the information guild, so whenever I know something, I’ll let you know right away.”

Took, disconnected.

“What? Are you playing?”

What made Gordon even more angry was that he wasn’t wrong.

Originally, the Demon King’s lieutenant was both the manager of the tower and an advisor.

Operates the tower on behalf of the Demon King and advises him not to go the wrong way.

However, the tower did not have the right to manage, and the Demon King knew Arain better than that. He was going in a completely different direction from the standards he had been studying in the first place, so he gave me some advice.

Even when the hero came, he showed a performance that was inferior to that of the kidnapped princess. That was a humiliation in its own way.

So Gordon was blown away. Gordon Dyrick, a genius who took the top spot in the Demon School, had become an unnecessary existence in the tower.

“OK.”

Gordon sharpened his teeth.

“No matter what I do, I will ruin this bastard. I’ll let you know that I’m the person you need!”

Jetson of the Wind Lotus. Gordon imprinted the name deep in his mind.
