Chapter 128 – Demon King Suppression Team Gathers!
Everyone’s mood became quiet. It suddenly sinks like this.
Considering the topic, it was a natural phenomenon. I’m surprised now too.
Zeira and Lumina looked around and smiled awkwardly. Zeira shouted awkwardly.
“Ahaha, it’s just a rumor! It seems like mostly older people talk about that. Haha!”
Lumina also received word.
“I know. Does it make sense to say that there is no devil? There is no Demon King, so what about heroes? All the warriors will become unemployed? Haha!”
“Lumina, that’s a bit of a different story.”
When I tackled it, Lumina’s rabbit ears drooped down.
I rather wanted to ask Zeira a question.
“Sister, how did you hear about that? “I don’t think it’s a topic that’s easy to spread, right?”
To be honest, I didn’t know anything about this. But, you know, there’s a rumor going around in a town I don’t know that the devil disappeared a long time ago?
It was strange. Very.
Zeira drank the water with a worried look on her face.
“I overheard it while I was working. Why, if you’re a hero, you attract attention wherever you go, right?”
“Right. “For better or for worse.”
Zeira crosses her arms.
“I was on my way back from robbing a salamander nest, and the villagers asked me various questions. What are you here to catch, don’t cause trouble, are you going to catch the devil, etc.”
“These are everyday questions.”
Even if it is a world where only dogs and cows are warriors.
In this world, warriors were no different from celebrities and public figures.
It was a position that always received attention and responsibility.
Of course, there were warriors who forgot this and went around mistreating power.
Common, stupid villains that can be found on Earth.
Therefore, Jay would have been asked all sorts of questions. Of course, I know that warriors are basically strong people, so I wouldn’t have asked rude questions.
Zeira clicked her tongue.
“Well, as I was answering appropriately, something about the devil came up. “I tried to answer appropriately.”
“So?”
Min Ji-yu showed interest and asked a question. Zeira scratched her forehead.
“Old people came out, pushing away the young people who asked questions.”
“Are they the village elders?”
“I guess so. Those people said that the Demon King disappeared a long time ago, but why are there still heroes and why are they needed?”
Min Ji-yu tilted her head. Actually, if you look at this in itself, it wasn’t strange.
It was a reaction that could have been made if the elderly were mentally and physically weak or anti-warriorism.
“Oh, I guess I made a mistake because I was drinking, or I was mentally unwell?”
In response to Min Ji-yu’s question, Jayra shook her head firmly.
“No. All the decent old people there said that. Among them, there was even a village head who was a former wizard. He said it with all his mouth. “The Demon King is already gone, so what does it mean to be a hero?”
I was at a loss for words. If he is a former wizard, he will not suffer from dementia.
Most people who handle magic are eccentric, but they don’t lose their minds.
Just as warriors train their bodies, wizards train their minds. So, if someone had dementia, the wizard was either stupid or not talented as a wizard.
Zeira continued her words.
“The warriors that exist now are just
Clowns playing with fate
“I also said that.”
It was a shocking statement. This is a story I know nothing about?
Aki moved her body as if she was anxious while holding the teacup.
“Oh my, what is going on…”
Lumina clenched her fists.
“Shouldn’t you at least go and listen to this in person? That doesn’t make sense, damn it!”
If things had gone as they were, Lumina would have been stopped. What are you doing?
But I was also quite embarrassed. No, I’m not at the level of embarrassment.
This was almost a mental breakdown. No matter how much I searched my head, I had never seen a story where the Demon King disappeared once upon a time. It was so heterogeneous.
‘What is this? Wasn’t there something like this in the DLC? Or is it a mod issue? There is no devil? What bullshit? ‘Am I dreaming now?’
It was to the point where I doubted whether I was real or a dream.
That’s how much Zeira said was beyond common sense. I was just squinting like a fool.
‘Let’s stay calm. What if I break down? I know most things about this world!’
Yes, I am a stagnant person. You came here after trolling for comments to at least protect one game.
But this story is really embarrassing.
“Whoa…”
I shook my head. I stopped Lumina.
“No, if I went and talked to those old people in person… Nothing more will come out. To get something more.”
She raised her hand and pointed to a place. It was right in the direction where the capital would be.
He pointed to that place with his index finger and spoke seriously.
“Enter the demon king subjugation team
Check the authenticity
“I have no choice but to do it.”
I don’t know who those old people heard from. Anyway, if you go to them now, you won’t find any clues.
In that case, you have no choice but to go and check in person.
Is the devil really real, or was it an illusion?
Even though I thought about it this way, I was quite anxious. If there really is no demon king, everything the heroes have done so far in this worldview would be a live show.
Lumina laughed after hearing what I said.
“Okay! I don’t like making things complicated. If the devil is gone, it may be futile, but it’s good because you can take a nap instead of working. It’s even better because you can just hit it if you have it! Isn’t that right?”
Lumina moves on coolly.
She knew it would happen.
This is how it becomes Luminage!
Renata Maman, who had been listening for a while, shook her head.
“I guess I’ll have to do some personal research on this. Rash, how are the Weaverful Rangers doing now?”
“We’re probably in the final stages of basic training right now. “Maybe we can take out one or two people and use them for intelligence?”
The investigation has already been completed. Currently, the Weaverpool Rangers were receiving training at the Weaverpool Parade.
Among them, there were two who had special skills such as infiltration and assassination.
What if they became thieves or villains? It must be terrible just to imagine it.
“Weaverful Ranger, what is that? “It sounds like the name of a soccer team.”
“That’s right. Ranger?”
“Is it a patrol?”
“Aren’t there already guards at Weaverpool? “Everyone would have come back.”
It seems everyone is curious about the Weaverful Ranger. If you’re that curious, it makes sense to let me know.
I told him the truth.
Then, the person who was most surprised was, of course, Zeira.
“What is it, Lasshu! Have you become a nobleman? “It’s totally awesome, isn’t it?”
“That’s it. “It’s just an opportunity given to people who are marginalized in society and cannot fulfill their potential.”
“Hey, you’re amazing though. He even had an audience with the emperor, and even the baron… Huh.”
“Weaverful Ranger’s basic motto is show and prove. “You will be influenced the most by me!”
That’s right.
Show and Prove.
There will be nothing more important in life than this.
In life, you always have to prove and show.
Especially in Korea, a shitty country that only encourages indiscriminate competition.
Even if it wasn’t a place like that, if you showed and proved yourself, the number of followers would naturally increase.
“Rash.”
“Yes, acting as Lord Renata.”
She smiled warmly.
“Thanks to Lashu, it will be reborn as a wonderful territory. “Weaverpool.”
“Oh, it’s also thanks to the lord’s representative, Mama Renata!”
We complimented each other. In fact, we are indispensable to each other. Especially when it comes to the development of Weaverpool territory.
Jeira just shrugs her shoulders.
“What a world… A lot of changes without me knowing.”
He patted her shoulder as he saw her sighing. Because one day, Jay will become big.
I can guarantee this. Just looking at the growth so far, it’s exceeding my expectations.
Then my mother came forward.
“Regardless of the truth, let’s all raise a toast! I hope that you will successfully defeat the Demon King!”
“I pray!”
Taaaaan!
We all raised a toast, wishing us good luck and peace. Every time we shared glasses, my heart felt like it was crying too.
I wanted to enjoy this moment. However.
‘The devil has disappeared… But no one knows that.’
〈It’s definitely strange. If it’s such an important issue, it’s impossible not to know? 〉
‘At least the Demon King’s subordinates need to know. If you look at the tower where the Demon King is said to be, it’s still full of his minions.’
To catch the devil, you have to climb the tower. Climbing the tower was not a problem, but the subordinates guarding it were each strong.
But, they were still at the tower. When I went to the capital, I asked briefly and was told that it was still there. So that means there is also a demon lord.
‘If this story is true, they
On purpose
Did you hide it?’
〈I don’t know. However, I feel a strange feeling. 〉
‘Feeling foreign?’
〈Isn’t it a situation where no one knows, as if someone deliberately hid it? 〉
‘Oh, now that I think about it…’
〈Only the elderly in the outskirts of the village know about stories whose truth cannot be known.〉
I lowered my head for a moment and was lost in thought. It was strange.
No, it was more than strange, it was foreign.
‘This feeling,
When
I’ve felt it before. An unpleasantly sticky feeling of foreignness.’
People around me are smiling and eating and drinking. For some reason, those scenes flowed slowly.
Is it the effect of the mask?
But now I was worrying as if I was carrying the whole world’s worries.
Then I remembered.
‘Ah,
Lao
It’s time! That time when he mentally controlled all the people in his territory and pretended to be the lord! Did you feel this sense of discomfort or heterogeneity back then?’
Although I found out it was true later, I couldn’t shake off the feeling of heterogeneity from the moment I had my doubts.
It was still like that now. What if the goddess says so?
“Son, please take care of yourselves.”
Mom smiles brightly and gives encouragement. I also smiled brightly at that mother.
“Yes, Mom. “I will fight for everyone!”
I answered vigorously and drank my glass. She sighed briefly.
‘Subdue the devil… Are you looking forward to it?’
I hoped tomorrow would come quickly.
＊＊＊
Noon the next day.
We arrived at the capital.
Many people gathered in front of the imperial palace. They were also people who came to see the demon king subjugation team.
There were also warriors, adventurers, and mercenaries who directly belonged here. We were one of them.
We looked around and marveled. So many people gathered together to defeat one demon lord.
Moreover, although their skills were different, they all exuded an energy that could not be ignored.
“Come, Your Majesty!”
The butler came forward and shouted. We all got down on one knee and bowed our heads. Lumina was embarrassed.
“Uh, how… Like this?”
“Why are you bowing so loud on Lunar New Year? “Just get down on one knee!”
He held Lumina in the position she was about to sit down and let out a sigh.
Soon the emperor appeared on the castle wall.
I saw a blonde man and a brown-haired man standing on either side.
I just knew who they were.
‘Since the knight commander was absent due to the subjugation of the barbarians, it appears that the left and right commanders were selected.’
They were probably chosen from among those who fell behind in an expedition to the people or returned for personal reasons.
Their skills were also of the master level. Well, this was the basics in subduing the demon lord.
‘Has it finally begun?’
I was overwhelmed by the atmosphere that something great was about to begin. Nevertheless, a smile appeared on my face.
Okay, let’s do it. Subdue the Demon King!
