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

054. Warning

“A new demon king has come.”

“Are you talking so quickly?”

“The Archduke Alkyne is aiming for something. It’s better to be on the lookout.”

Vivian Blunt.

Berge didn’t know her very well. However, it was doubtful that a new demon lord had descended within a short period of less than a week after Draxon’s death.

“Although there are some questionable corners, it is not that the Demon King is not harmed by the hero at all, and this is Arain. The thing that Archduke Alkyin would find particularly strange is, ah…”

there was.

“You mean you’re searching for someone who breaks the law?”

“maybe. It would be safe to say that Vivian was a search officer who came under a secret order from the Archduke.”

“Do you not want to find out?”

“I don’t hear it. That’s why it was demolished You just have to be careful with your mouth too. Always be mindful of Vivian Blunt.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Gordon nodded heavily.

“Oh, that’s not what I meant. The princess of Hilderan opened the front door without any resistance.”

“Did you open the door?”

“Yes. I want to ask you what happened.”

“Why did you open the door?”

“The Princess of Jespine tried to escape the tower. It happened in the process of trying to stop it.”

“Escape.”

Because of Ernyan’s precedent, I let him go, but he lost his mind.

“Put him in the dungeon.”

“Yes, I understand. But is that what the Demon King means?”

“No, it is the will of the tower. The tower accepted him as a member of the tower. Logger too.”

“···Yes? Are you saying that the tower has accepted people who are not demons? Since when…?”

“From the day Hillen Cargill came in.”

Precisely from the moment Ernian and Logger antagonized Hillen Cargill and put him in jail.

[Top Joo – Berge Deias

Butler – Gordon Dyrick

Stairs – 5]

[belong

Demon – Gordon Dyrick

Monsters – Puer Orc, Kurutu

Monster – None]

[1st Floor – Dwarf Champion, Logger

2nd floor – none

3rd floor – none

4th Floor – Hilderan’s Princess, Ernyl Hilderan

5th floor – Demon King’s Floor]

The information window of the tower was called up.

There was an owner on the 1st and 4th floors, which should be vacant.

This was not what Berger intended.

“I think the tower recognized them as allies because of their hostility with the hero.”

“Such a function . . . But if you want to disqualify you can’t you?”

“right.”

The will of the tower is limited to assisting the Demon King. In the end, all decisions are made by the Demon King.

“But you don’t have to. Did you look like the logger would escape?”

“…that’s it.”

Gordon couldn’t nod his head easily.

I don’t like the fact that Logger is a hero, but other than that, I’m completely assimilated.

It’s a bit disgraceful, but it’s safe to say that he was setting the ball more than the lieutenant.

“What about the Princess of Hilderan?”

“It’s kind of a test.”

Working with Ernyan was not what he had hoped for from start to finish.

13I made a mistake while trying to kidnap the princess, and this triggered a heroic act, so I wanted to borrow a cat’s hand.

And faced with an overly cooperative attitude.

I was silent because it helped. On the contrary, it was encouraging and encouraging.

But is that right? In a moment of crisis, will the ‘Princess Princess’ of humans stand on the side of the ‘Demon King’?

Berge did not fully trust her. At first, humans were not reliable creatures.

‘But he’ll think he’s won my trust.’

There, he made a contract with a higher spirit and had his own force.

Finally, I knew that I could leave the tower if I had my own will.

‘I’ll see any reaction.’

Maybe a little clue will come out soon.

About Ernian Hilderan’s intentions.

* * *

“Ugh.”

Kaede opened her eyes. It was dark. A bad smell stung my nose.

“ah.”

Arms and legs were bound. The auror did not move.

‘Failed.’

And ended up in prison. Is there really no more mercy?

“·················ogue.”

maybe this is better

Rather than the demon king’s subordinates, the princess who was kidnapped and suffered hardship will do less damage to her honor and the honor of the empire.

She smiled bitterly.

quiver-

The door to the dungeon opened. Kaede frowned at the sudden light.

“Are you okay?”

“… Ernya?”

A hand came through the iron bars. It was a bottle of water.

“drink.”

“···thank you. ah.”

shudder-

A chain blocked the hand heading to the bottle.

Ernap stretched out his hand even more.

“Stand forward and just open your mouth.”

“Yes.”

Cool water dripped. The dry lips were wet.

“thank you.”

“…that’s why I told you not to go.”

“…I didn’t want to become the Demon King’s dog… I am a knight of the Empire.”

“I remember that the Demon King didn’t specifically tell me to become a dog.”

“There is no favor without cause. If the Demon King is good to me, I think there are many things I want. Ernya-nim too…”

Kaede swallowed the back words. sorry. He muttered a little and bowed his head.

“Well, you might think so. I did it because I wanted it.”

“…that doesn’t make any more sense.”

“Each person has their own circumstances, right? Just like you ran away because you didn’t want to get married.”

“···that.”

“I ran away because the royal family and the royal family didn’t like Abamama. To be precise, I was kidnapped and I didn’t want to go back.”

“…still do not understand.”

Ernian Hilderan’s name is not limited to just Hilderan.

Her talent was counted among the entire continent, and she was the undisputed heir of the kingdom.

Because she was young and beautiful there, there were many people who wanted to make a kite with her, regardless of Hilderan and other countries.

“Your future is bright. There are many princes and princesses of Hilderan, but not all of them are comparable to you, so becoming the supreme ruler of the kingdom is a foreordained future. Kicking it off and becoming the Demon King’s subordinate…”

“Did you ever think that was strange?”

“···········?”

“There are 27 princes and 35 princesses in Hilderan. It has the highest number of all royal families on the continent. But there is no known prince or princess except for me.”

“…what is that? Wasn’t there 12 princes and 16 princesses of Hilderan?”

“Ah, officially it is.”

I thought you would know because she was a princess, but I guess she didn’t.

Ernya woke up.

“···Wait a minute. A little more explanation.”

“Ask later when you return to the Empire. Perhaps the Emperor would know.”

“·················ogue.”

Kaede couldn’t tell Kaede that they weren’t close enough to ask such a question personally.

“I will keep coming back. There was no one else but me, so the demon king told me to take care of Kaeden-sama.”

“···Even though.”

“still?”

“I know there are circumstances. However, when this fact becomes known, he becomes a great person to the honor of the kingdom and the royal family. You mean it doesn’t matter?”

“Isn’t that what the princess who ran away because she didn’t want to get married would say that?”

“·················ogue.”

Kaede blushed.

“just joke.”

Ernya smiled mischievously.

“And I don’t think so. It’s a world where the hero and the demon king are in harmony, so what’s the difference between the princess and the demon king?”

“·················ogue.”

“I think it is better to cooperate with the Demon King and find a direction that is beneficial to the Empire.”

“There can be no such thing…”

“It’s just that. Better than being in jail, right?”

Then, come on. I’ll leave the water here. Ernya disappeared.

“I heard that they were buying elven slaves.”

“Yes.”

Aman Katrash bowed his head.

The top week of the golden moon handed over the documents.

“It’s Granada-sama’s request.”

“Yes. He said he wanted to purchase slaves from the slave market spread across the continent. Because Hero Hillen has instructed us to help Granada-sama unconditionally, we are proceeding with it as our top priority.”

“How about a man named Jeterson?”

Jetson knocked on the upper door one day. It was Aman who caught what he was about to kick out in his humble appearance.

“The practical skills are superior to other areas.”

“You’re going to have a good mouth.”

The top share clicked his tongue.

“No matter how much you think about it, he is a swindler. Do you really need to accept such a person as a member of the upper ranks?”

He never forgot Jettson’s first impressions.

‘Ah, are you really the Supreme Lord? He looked so young that I thought he was the successor. haha.’

‘I think the top of the golden moon is really great. Even if you fail in the past, you can feel the hard work of the upper-class members just by keeping it steady.’

‘If a large-scale investment comes in, the vision is…’

The comments that started with Abu and ended with Abu were scammers by anyone looking at them.

Instinctual rejection tried to fire him, but he couldn’t because of Hillen Cargill’s lineage.

“Why on earth would a well-known hero use such a con artist?”

“I’m doing pretty well.”

“Whoa. It looks like his eyes are full of greed. Being greedy as a merchant isn’t a bad thing, but it’s too much.”

“Being with Granada-sama, the elf, it will be fine.”

“Okay, I hope so.”

The top shareholder handed the newspaper.

“What is this?”

“Read it. This is a hot article published this morning.”

【A group of more than a dozen succubus was discovered in the Argenta area…, the security situation in the Dormund Kingdom is serious…. people are shocked. ]

[The Earl of Argenta “I can’t stand it…. I have to teach the demons the subject…”]

【The demons who have infiltrated the human world that have appeared for the first time in nearly a hundred years, the cause is a new demon king? ]

【It is estimated that the new demon king who succeeded the demon king of the beasts built a tower in the Seratine Islands… ]

【The 5th Prince of Dormund, kidnapped by the Demon King… ]

【“Isn’t Roselle Charter’s sudden action really a sudden action?”]

【Brave, Gillian Eind and White Eagle Raid To the Tower of Cold… ]

Articles are listed in a complicated way.

“…the succubus.”

“Buy military supplies.”

“Are you going to participate?”

“There are very few businesses that make money as much as bravery. I couldn’t do it because I didn’t have money before, but now it’s not.”

“Do you think bravery will happen?”

“It doesn’t matter if you wake up or not.”

Recently, there has been a succession of warriors.

The brave action against the Demon King in Erzest, the brave action against the Tower of the Beast.

The reason was that the demon lords had taken a different course than before.

By kidnapping the heir of the kingdom and killing the heirs to the first and second ranks of the kingdom.

Now, he was trying to control the nobles using succubus.

The suspicion that the demon kings were plotting something was making it impossible for each country, the hero guild, and the mercenary guild to stand still.

“War is money. Just the atmosphere where war is about to happen makes money. You take responsibility for it.”

“Yes. May I bring the newspaper?”

“do whatever you want.”

Aman left the upper master’s office. After going to his room and perusing the newspaper for a long time, he pulled out a communication tool.

“Yes, Gordon. Fold it, but maybe…”

* * *

At that time, there was someone checking the newspaper, just like Aman.

“Why?”

Jason put the newspaper away. I took the grilled rare steak to my mouth.

“what?”

“Did I not tell you? Please do not turn the demons outside and be careful.”

“Did you just call me for that?”

Vivian savored the bright red wine.

“I asked. Vivian.”

“I just abducted the prince and checked it lightly as a bonus.”

“If it’s OK?”

“What kind of place is Arain? But I didn’t know it would take so quickly. It must have been bad luck.”

After all, a hero passed by at that time.

“Do you think you are out of luck?”

“I thought it would last at least a few months.”

“I’m sorry, but that’s not like luck. Even if I send it a hundred times, it will be the same.”

Whoops-

The fork cut the meat.

“Same?”

“Your Majesty your Excellency, you are too much. Sending out a slut with an empty head.”

“what···? What did you say now?”

Vivian’s pupils stiffened at the sudden change of atmosphere and tone. Jason tapped his head.

“Forgive me for my rudeness. If there was any thought, it would have been that no matter what the Grand Duchess offered, he would not have come to this damn dimension.”

Why is Draxon, Reina, Ugar, and Berge all first-time Demon Kings?

“It’s not unreasonable for me to lose my mind for a moment if the Demon King doesn’t know that Myeongsaek has taken over a dimension of everything he knows.”

“What did you just say?”

“How many warriors were there in the dimension that Vivian-nim conquered?”

“What did you just say!”

“I asked how many warriors there were in the dimension that four years conquered. Mr Vivian. Please don’t let me lose my manners again.”

hib-

Vivian shut her mouth.

I had goosebumps all over my body as I lived like a snake crawling.

“Around seventy . . . people.”

“Honestly, do you know how many warriors there are in Arain?”

“If there is a lot, it must be a lot. this bag? three hundred?”

“You really don’t know anything.”

Jason chuckled.

“No matter how many people refuse to dispatch Arain, it is customary not to give the exact figure, but it must be this much.”

Jason’s lips curled up.

“I understand. If I had known about Arain even a little, I would have never wanted to come here, so I would have chosen the Golbin Demon King like Vivian-sama. Confident that you have conquered an embarrassing dimension.”

“·················ogue.”

Despite the primary criticism, Vivian did not say anything. I can’t.

“Please, open your ear canal and engraved deeply on your head this time. And to repent for how foolish you have been.”

he whispered lowly.

“3198.”

“···What?”

“A month ago, 3198 heroes were officially registered in the Heroes’ Guild.”

“···lie.”

Vivian struggled to set the glass upright. But half of it had already disappeared.

“Are you lying?”

Jason calmly picked up the knife.

“Then no?”

“Is there any reason to joke like that? A demon like you and me? I’m not that lazy.”

Knock-knock-

The meat was cut. Still, the knife didn’t stop.

“It is not a coincidence or unlucky that the succubus sent by Vivian was caught. It’s just that in Arain, it’s normal.”

Kaga-Gak-

The plate was split.

“The fact that there are so many heroes, the Demon King can’t work with peace of mind.”

“The Demon King needs to keep an eye on the heroes and humans.”

“That’s why even the most well-rounded demon kings don’t want to come.”

Jason’s sharpening of the knife became even rougher.

“It means everyday life.”

“It can’t be…. No matter how many warriors there are, there is such a thing as degree!”

“If there was justice, Arain fell into the hands of the demon realm immediately.”

“No, no. No!”

Vivian denied reality.

“What’s not is your foolish behavior, sending the succubus to ruin the business with your low self-confidence.”

“Berge Deias can do that. I didn’t tell you anything, so I can run like a normal demon lord. But you didn’t. didn’t you tell me? Be quiet. Like a dead mouse, wait.”

Qwajik-

The table was split.

“If you know what the succubus you sent is paying off, it’s not enough to put your head in front of me right now and apologize.”

His knife stopped only when the steak and plate fell to the floor along with the high-quality wood.

“But I will not. I.”

Jason took a deep breath and cleared his throat.

“It doesn’t matter what you do. It doesn’t matter who you are or what achievements you have made.”

He took out a napkin and wiped the sauce off his hands.

“But no more.”

“Please do not cross the line I have drawn. Please do not overturn the board I made.”

He raised his one-eyed glasses. A cold gaze was fixed on Vivian.

“This is a warning, not a request.”

please.

Make a wise choice.
