Elf Slave Knight 355

Chapter 355 – 355. Seven Days Left for the Demon King (10)

==============================

Heinkel, who came to the country of the elves following his pupil, was spending a slow life teaching aristocratic knights at Valencia Castle, as if enjoying his rural life in his later years.

The one who murdered the tyrant of the Vulcan Kingdom.
Human underdog.
Sword Saint.
1 stone of the Seven Swords of the Kingdom of Valois.

Laying down heavy burdens,
He passed the time leisurely and leisurely like a lonely commoner.

‘Thanks to coming to the elves’ territory, it’s good that no one is looking for me every day.’

Until now, countless rulers have been struggling to obtain the power of the Sword Saint.

I want you to be the sword that protects the country.
He asked to be the little prince’s teacher and guardian,
He even tried to get her to become a member of the royal family, saying that he would give the beautiful princess as a spouse.

Heinkel, who recalled the long past like a kaleidoscope while closing his eyes, opened his eyes again with a wry smile.

“What are you thinking so hard about?”

The female knight with his dark brown hair hanging down to his shoulders lowered his head and asked Heinkel, who was sitting leaning against a tree.

Cheeks dyed shyly.
To the wet lips.

Zenit.
She was a beautiful female knight who was the lieutenant of Gilead.

“I thought about the past for a while.”
“Okay.”

Hearing the answer from her Heinkel, Jennette nodded her head with a brilliant smile.

As if she was enjoying just having a conversation with her, Jennette put on her shy expression and showed Heinkel her liking.

“Janet.”
“Yes, Lord Heinkel.”

Heinkel’s gaze turned to her brown-haired knight, who was responding with anticipation.

“It’s nice to have respect for me as a swordsman and first-seat of the Seven Swords of the Kingdom… Have no other mind. I already have a wife who died a long time ago.”

Janet replied to that.

“It’s okay if you don’t get anything in return from Lord Heinkel. I will always look up to you.”

Heinkel looked taken aback by the human heroine’s bold words.

Alas.
To think that she would be deeply loved by her disciple’s subordinate.
My temples were already tingling as to how she would tease and come in if that damn student found out.

After arriving in the elves’ realm, she finally opened her heart to Jennet’s constant assault of affection, and Heinkel, who heard Jennet’s answer, gave a meaningful answer through her silence.

“Sir Heinkel! Sir Janet!”

When Heinkel showed a burdensome reaction to the smiling face of Zenit,
A noble knight from the kingdom of Valois approached.

“Now it is time to return to Valencia Castle.”
“Has it already been that time?”

Heinkel muttered as he raised his head.

The sun was setting by now.
I saw the setting sun scattering intense brilliance like the oranges of Younglim, Valencia, which is famous for its high sugar content.

“Then go back now.”
“Yes!”
Heinkel stood up from his seat and stroked the dark horse with a black mane that was leisurely grazing nearby.

I liked the rough feel of his palms,
His horse purred and he stuck his head out.

While watching him, Janet must have felt jealous of the horse who was receiving Heinkel’s affection, so she watched him with a pouty expression.

“Puff!”

The knight, who was famous for his thorough temperament, was jealous of her horse, and the knight couldn’t hold back her laughter.

At that, Zenit’s fierce gaze turned to the knight.

“Ride back to Valencia Castle on horseback. Get everyone ready.”
“I see, Sir Heinkel.”

The human knights of the Kingdom of Valois, who rode horses to the other forests facing the border with Valencia’s Youngrim, prepared to return to Valencia Castle.

The sun is setting.
It’s going to be dark soon.

When they arrive at Valencia Castle, it will be late at night.

“Reinhilder.”

When Heinkel and Zenit try to mount the horse,

An elf woman with light purple hair appeared under the shade of a tree that was blocking the intense sunlight like an umbrella.

She was El Cid, the oath of the elves.

“What’s up, El?”
“… I want you to go away for a while. It is urgent.”

Heinkel, nodding her head at El’s words, opened her mouth as he handed over the reins of her horse to Janette.

“First, go back to Valencia Castle. I’ll follow you later Of course I’m faster.”
“All right.”

Heinkel,
And Janet, who was looking at El in turn, replied with a nod of her head.

Eventually, as Janet and the knight on the horse left the forest, El, who was looking at their backs, opened her mouth.

“I can feel Touma’s energy. It’s clear that Tuma moved.”
“I was vaguely feeling it too.”

El and Heinkel’s eyes turned to one place.

North.
As if looking at the territory of the elves, I looked at the presence that stayed beyond the border.

A human oath and an elf oath.
And the devil’s oath staring into their eyes.

As if he had no intention of hiding his presence, the Devil’s Oath was exuding a dark presence.

“What he’s after… I don’t think it’s us or Yushin. I’m not the type to start a hegemonic war now. To begin with, Touma is someone who avoids war and fighting.”

Although Tuma was a warlike demon, he always avoided war and fighting.

The title Tuma (鬪魔), which is called like a name, is just a pseudonym given after tearing down all six demon lords, and Tuma was a being who liked silence and silence.

It was still an unresolved question as to why Touma caused the tragedy of tearing and killing the six demon lords at once.

“Maybe….”

El opened his mouth.

At that, Heinkel’s gaze turned to El.

“The target Tuma is aiming for is probably a wandering demon lord.”

* * *

Defeat the Demon King Slayer within 7 days.

The message demanded by the devil’s oath was imprinted deep in his heart.

If it is not completed within the period,
As a price for not keeping the oath sworn in the name of Tuma, his body would be torn to pieces.

‘Treat me like a friend… , Weird guy.’

Savnak burst into laughter.

Treated you like a friend,
Even though it was an unreasonable and forced duel request, it was a favor towards Yushin who responded with all his might.

To the extent that he did not feel any regret or resentment, Yushin did his best to meet Savnak’s expectations.
In response, Savnak felt grateful to Yushin for treating him as a friend and an nemesis who fought to the death.

“Hmm.”

The red-haired demon king, sitting on a high branch and looking up at the night sky sprinkled with constellations like sugar, took a piece of apple pie next to him.

Topped with sweet sugar and syrup,
It was an apple pie that thoroughly suited Savnak’s taste for sweets.

The person who delivered the apple pie to the wandering demon lord was Ardena’s younger sister, Alone, whom she had met several times. She seemed to have lost her cowardly head because she was a little friendly, and the hated elf dared to leave a tribute to the demon lord.

“Delicious….”

The signature sweetness overflowed from the cinnamon and candied apples.

Soft, crispy bread and sugar sprinkled on top.
The sweet blueberries and syrup inside were playing in perfect harmony to bring out the sweetness.

‘Cheeky elves.’

On the subject of elves,
Do you mean eating such delicious food?

On the subject of stealing someone else’s land like a thief….
Indeed, they couldn’t be more than hateful people.

“Did I mention the special apple pie baked by the maids of Valencia Castle? It’s a taste I’m proud of.”

Savnak, who unfailingly showed hatred towards the elves, did not reject the tribute the high elves gave him.

Laughing at the sweetness of the apple pie,
He smiled again, thinking of the blonde high elf kid who offered him this delicious apple pie.

It was just a small laugh, but… It was a huge change that happened to Savnak, who had only blindly hated and angered the elves.

‘Yushin Gilead and that high elf kid too…. You treat me so carelessly. Have you forgotten that I am the demon king of the heat wave that burned the Liberia peninsula? They say they look like eccentrics.’

Savnak was perplexed.

To Yoo-shin, who treated her as a friend.
To the high elves who did him a favor.

And spending time with them, to his own thoughts that he genuinely thought it was ‘fun’.

‘I, I just… I’ve only come to defeat Gilead in 7 days.’

Savnak tried hard to hide her true feelings, but in her mind, the happy days of her six days passed like a panorama.

She built up her mind by fighting swords with Yushin,
I had a riotous time with the two noisy high elves.

Her past six days reminded her of the fun times she had with her men, who shared the highs and lows of life and death with her. It was such a fun time that I felt like I was spending time with my old subordinates.

Yes, like back then…
It felt like going back in time.

“Huh… Joy! Digging into my head at will! You guys, you guys are my enemies….”

Savnak, having eaten almost all of the high elf’s offering of apple pie, took the last piece into his mouth.

Last piece.
It seemed as if it meant Savnak, which was now facing its final 7th day.

Savnak slowly lowered his eyelids after eating the sweet apple pie, which made him feel happy.
She poured out her gratitude in the form of her tears for Yushin and her two High Elf children who had given her last happiness and joy.

“Why are you nice to me? Why.”

The sweetness in her mouth gradually
It turned into the salty taste of sadness and regret.

It was because the tears rolled down her white cheeks and soaked the apple pie she was holding in her mouth.

Tears dripped down.
The apple pie was wet with tears, but Savnak did not stop his mouth.
Savnak, who had eaten all of the salty apple pie, got up slowly as if he had made up his mind.

“Now it is. That’s enough.”

Muttering in a low voice,
An empty bowl of apple pie was placed under the tree.

So that the high elf kid who gave him the tribute the next day could take it back.
If you put it on the tree, the kid won’t be able to get the plate back.

‘In the realm of dragons, puppets following the beast of lust are looking for the remains hidden by the fox of violence, and they conveyed the information to Gilead. That guy should be able to thwart the plan of the fox and Grid in no time.’

As if leaving a final arrangement,
Savnak gave Yushin all the information he knew.

He was afraid that if he died without being able to keep the oath he had made with Tuma, the information he had obtained would be lost, so he passed it on to Yushin.

“I played well.”

Savnak burst out laughing.

A toy that isn’t even funny.
He put the toy bracelet that was still in his hand beside the empty bowl.

“Stop goodbye. I’m sorry I couldn’t keep my promise to fight swords tomorrow, Yushin Gilead. But I… I don’t want to harm you guys.”

Last 7 days.
Savnak gave up his last days on his own.

‘Cause I’ve had enough
I had such a good time that I didn’t leave any regrets or regrets behind.

So now… , It seemed that there would be no time even if I died.
