Eat the Warrior’s Family 81

Chapter 81 – Meanwhile, What About the Hero’s Party…?

“Ugh! “This is a demon life!”

Lucia, a demon executive.

She was in a very good mood today.

Needless to say, the reason was that she defeated the Hero party.

It’s not just a victory, it’s a great victory.

Cheap wine, which I normally don’t drink, tasted sweet today.

“So, what exactly is the situation with the humans?”

The adjutant bowed his head and answered.

“The knights who were currently in a standoff turned their forces back. “I think I’ll give up on my strategy here for a while.”

“Hmm~ Well, I guess so. “As the hero party collapsed, morale must have plummeted all the way to the basement.”

“Yes, honestly, the hero was a nuisance just because it boosted morale. “Because he himself was defeated and ran away.”

“That’s so funny. From what I heard, you and the saintess disappeared by teleportation, right?”

Lucia sneered.

“Are you really sure about that? “A warrior abandons his companions and runs away?”

“It is impossible to confirm the detailed situation. “There are more than one eyewitness, so that is certain.”

“Well, if we hadn’t done that, there would have been only two of the four warriors left when they attacked.”

“I’m sorry. If it was a teleportation, we had to stop it somehow… Because everyone thought it was the last resistance risking their lives and concentrated on defense…”

“That’s okay. “Who would have imagined that a warrior would run away?”

Lucia nodded her head.

“Anyway, I really don’t understand. Why did you throw such an unlikely bet in the first place? “The walls here are strong. Even the lowest-ranking soldiers know that.”

“Perhaps we are politically cornered? We also heard from our intelligence network that the warrior’s position is not very good. “I guess that’s why the ball was so urgent.”

“There was no other news of the subjugation before you came to us, right?”

“As far as we know, yes. And if it’s the demons’ information network now, they won’t miss it.”

“Wow, the information network that was set up to avoid that fraudulent black wizard is helpful in times like this.”

Lucia smiled contentedly.

The Demon King’s army is on guard more than ever.

In addition, the hero party was neutralized early on.

At this level, there is enough time to gather up the lost power.

“What about the captured elf bitch? Is he still rebelling?”

“At first it was crazy, but now it’s quiet. In fact, it wasn’t us who went on a rampage the first time, but it was because we were insulting her saint…”

“Wow. I’ve never heard such a pad lip in my life. Have you been abandoned? “Even though I’m an enemy, I still feel a little pity.”

Lucia lightly tasted her.

She didn’t even kill a member of the warrior party, she captured him alive.

This is an enormous feat that is difficult to find even if you search through history.

However, after learning the context, I found it a bit uncomfortable to just be happy.

“Well, we are not in a position to sympathize with the enemy. “Who is the one prisoner left?”

“Sorry. “I missed it.”

“No, that’s enough. The hero suddenly disappeared and the power was dispersed. In this case, the opponent’s potential must have been great.”

Lucia shook her head left and right as if she was fed up.

“I heard she threw away her sword and ran away even though one of her arms was broken?”

“Yes, he eventually escaped, but his injuries were serious. “It will take a long time to get back to the front line.”

“You neutralized two of the four warrior parties? “If this is enough, even the Demon King will praise me~”

As she spoke, Lucia frowned at the man who suddenly came to mind.

“Well, the most annoying person remains unidentified and alive and well.”

“Dark wizard…You mean it.”

The expression on her adjutant’s face blurred as she spoke.

To that extent, the existence of Lee Hyeon-woo was deeply imprinted on the Demon King.

“You never showed up on this battlefield, right? “It wasn’t even in the knights in the rear.”

“It seems like the Knights are having a hard time securing wizards. Otherwise there would be no way to fight like this. And this-”

“Is it related to the missing Lee Hyeon-woo?”

“It would be reasonable to look at it that way. “He was also acting as a connection between the kingdom and the Magic Tower.”

Lucia calmly nodded her head.

Even if you can’t see it for a moment, the Black Wizard is a scary enemy.

You never know when, where, or how it will appear.

“…I thought it was the end when the hero party came because of that.”

“Yes, Lee Hyun-woo is definitely not an easy opponent.”

“It’s not easy, it’s not at that level. “With our current strength, we wouldn’t have been able to match them.”

Lucia lightly shook her glass.

“Do you think the news that Lee Hyun-woo disappeared is true? Or is it just our wishful thinking?”

“The information network that has been released is still quiet, but looking at the current situation, it seems almost certain.”

“Well, I don’t know if he left the hero party or if he went back to the magic tower. “At least it seems certain that he is not on the front lines.”

The adjutant nodded.

“It’s already going to be a burden, so why don’t we plan to weaken the magical protection a little?”

“No, you still shouldn’t let your guard down. I’ve just captured an elf. Tell everyone to be on the lookout for Lee Hyeon-woo, who might appear. “Don’t fight for nothing, call me right away.”

“Wow, are you evaluating me that much? “Are you happy?”

Lucia and her lieutenant stopped at the sudden sound of a voice.

Then a magic curtain unfolded, and the adjutant raised his sword.

One step later, the soldiers around him also drew their swords.

-Chaaaaa!!

Although there are slight individual differences, the swords that were drawn at almost the same time made a razor-sharp sound.

However, Lucia could not feel reassured despite her well-trained appearance.

Rather, they raise their guard to the maximum when it comes to humans who suddenly appear in front of them.

‘…I didn’t feel any presence.’

Lucia bit her lip and looked at the human in front of her.

A man with black hair, black eyes, and a black robe.

Because of his unusual appearance, people called him the ‘Black Wizard’.

Unlike other fancy titles, this is a sentence that is not only neat but also arrogant.

Still, no one questioned it.

“…I didn’t expect to meet you here, Hyeonwoo Lee.”

“I know. “To be honest, I never thought I would meet like this.”

As Hyunwoo spoke, he lightly raised his hand up.

“Can’t you put the sword away first? “I’ve seen so many sharp swords these days that it’s a bit scary.”

“Do you know what you’re going to do?”

“I’m not going to tell you to be careful because of what I’ve done. I really came here just to talk today. “It’s a good story for you too.”

Lucia frowned at Hyunwoo.

‘If you were planning on making a surprise attack, there’s no reason to talk like this…’

According to the report, Lee Hyun-woo usually used a question-and-answer dance to throw magic at the enemy.

Considering that, wouldn’t it be okay to say that I really don’t want to fight right now?

‘Well, I’m not naive enough to believe what the enemy says.’

First, information gathering comes first.

Currently, Lee Hyeon-woo is a concern of both the kingdom and the Demon King’s army.

If you can extract even a little bit of information, that alone is valuable.

In some cases, the man’s single word was more important than the captured elf.

“…If you’re not going to fight, why did the famous wizard come all the way here? Have you come to rescue the captured elf?”

“Ah…That has something to do with it. “I’m not asking you to pay anything in particular.”

“Hmm? You’re a colleague, right? “Is it okay if I don’t ask for it?”

“For some reason, we are close to enemies now.”

Lucia tilted her head slightly.

“So you’re saying you’re not part of the hero party now?”

“So, you haven’t heard of me fighting in a while, right?”

“…According to reports, he suddenly disappeared.”

“Yes, I have already given up on the fight between the kingdom and the demon king’s army. “There is no reason to fight with you.”

“Uhm…”

Lucia tapped the armrest of her chair with her finger.

“Seeing as how the hero’s party collapsed so vainly, it seems like a true story, but… So? Then it gets even weirder. “You said you let go, why did you come here?”

“To make a deal.”

“Transaction?”

“There’s an elf you captured.”

Lucia scowled her eyes.

“I can’t give that back. I already reported it above. “If you let me go, I will be scolded by the devil.”

“Oh, I’m not asking you to hand over her personal information. “Rather, I wish you would keep me with you all along.”

“…Then what do you want to deal with?”

“Let me torture that bitch of hers.”

“…”

Lucia pursed her lips without realizing it.

She looked into Hyunwoo’s eyes, but it didn’t seem like she was lying.

Rather, that was the problem.

“…How big is your resentment?”

“It’s not as painful as you think. But-”

Hyunwoo touched his temple.

“It’s just going to ruin this place. “In a sexual sense.”

“Aren’t you trying to silence me by killing me?”

“Even if you think that way, you can’t help it. But he’s a tough guy anyway, so even if you interrogate him, he won’t know anything.”

“Uhm…”

Lucia was lost in her thoughts for a moment.

I don’t completely trust this wizard.

However, it would be even more difficult if she accidentally touched me in the current situation and jumped at me.

She has raised the morale of the warrior party by announcing their victory.

I didn’t want to ruin it with an accident like this.

“…Your words are very fascinating. “Is that why it’s rather hard to believe?”

“I thought so. Then, how about a wizard’s zen question?”

Lucia’s body stiffened.

A wizard’s koan is a conversation hosted by the ‘Wizard’s God’.

While doing this, the two wizards under that protection can judge whether the other person’s words are true or false.

In fact, if the ‘God of Wizards’ judges that the relationship is unfair, the ‘Zen Q&A’ will not be held in the first place.

For this reason, simply completing the ‘Zen Q&A’ means that you can trust the other person.

Of course, there are ways to refuse to answer or to not ‘just lie’.

“…It’s interesting. “Are you that serious?”

“So I will do it. Are you going to tell me?”

“Good. There is no reason to refuse. “I swear on my oath.”

“I swear on my oath.”

As they spoke, blue magical energy enveloped the two people.

From now on, the wizard’s god guarantees that each other’s words are true.

Lucia looked at it and opened her mouth.

“Ask yourself first.”

“Me first? “I was just trying to give you confidence, I don’t have any specific questions.”

“Maybe this is a magical trap too. “I still don’t trust you?”

Hyunwoo took a sip of his food for a moment with an expression of disinterest.

Then he casually opened his mouth.

“Are you a virgin?”

Lucia’s face turned red.
