058. Where

All the Demon Lords of Alain make variables within the limits allowed by the standard in order to survive.

Just like Reina Sordain, the demon king of the cold, placed a prince or princess made of ice statues on the lower floors so that the warriors can climb moderately.

The method of Ugar Belbek, the Demon King of the Golden River, was to kidnap princes and princesses without any problems as much as possible.

Even if a fire breaks out, it is to prevent it from spreading into a major fire in advance.

Of course, among the demon kings, kidnapping a prince or princess who is higher in the succession rank is considered a virtue, but that part was not exactly specified in the standard.

Not a standard, such a virtue was less important to Ugar than his own survival.

“What does that mean?”

But it was never a positive thing. It didn’t look like a Demon King, so Ugar denied it for once.

“There is no need to be ashamed. Standard is working well in other dimensions, isn’t it different here?”

“Do not insult the standard.”

“You’re the one who twists the standard and doesn’t do it, so you’re going to turn me into garbage?”

Berge spread his fingers.

“Well, given your circumstances, please let me go mercifully this time. But you haven’t answered yet.”

“Am I supposed to play around with nonsense?”

“It’s nonsense.”

From that word, Berge noticed. The nonsense that Ugar was talking about wasn’t that he couldn’t use the shortcut itself.

It was how Berger knew such people.

It was natural. Because Berge was a young demon king who had just come down for over a year.

“The 3rd Prince of Gaina, the Trapatra Union, the 7th Princess of the Principality of Velos, and the 4th Prince of Machiel. They are all royalty in the ideal condition you desire. They are not interested in being pushed out of the throne, or even if they are kidnapped, there is nothing to save.”

“You believe it? Evidence?”

“Proof. Yes, evidence matters. But is it really necessary?”

“What kind of bullshit?”

“Didn’t you have a chance on your own? But aren’t you more careful because you’re not sure?”

“…how do you do that?”

That’s because all three of them are royals who have already been kidnapped by Ugar.

They caused minor trouble, but compared to kidnapping other royals, it was only a breeze.

“Does it matter how you know? Than I would add certainty to your family?”

“How do you know if that is certain or false? Isn’t the problem with the premise that you have a favor with me in the first place?”

“What else would you not like? Did you and I even have an affair?”

“It’s not a particularly good relationship.”

“Relationships are something you can build from now on.”

“Is that the word that comes out of the snout of the demon king?”

“Some demon kings I know are scared of humans and only choose weak ones to deal with, so they can’t even pay for their size, but they made fun of their snout.”

“You bastard. Do you really want to try it with me?”

“Sit down. My throat hurts.”

Ugar exhaled life, but eventually sat back down. The timid man couldn’t express his anger until he broke the rules unless he was completely pushed to the brink.

“Do not modify the contract.”

“contract?”

“The contract of the demon realm.”

You stole the contract from Ugar’s hand.

“…before that, I’ll listen to your condition first.”

Ugar replied in a slightly gentle voice.

Still, the Demon King is the Demon King, right?

Before the return, he was just like a head, but he was more like a demon than I thought.

Hell, I didn’t lose my life at the Demon King Military Academy, where the demonic tribes of the demon world rushed at me.

That must mean that before the return, Berger was an arrogant idiot.

Or is it that Ugar is a real asshole and does this sometimes.

“The 13th Princess of Hilderan. hand her over.”

Ugar frowned.

“Don’t play around, just tell me the right conditions.”

“That is the right condition.”

“You really want 13 princesses?”

“okay.”

“Do you know how absurd that is now?”

When the Demon King kidnaps a prince or princess, rumors are spread. Even if there are no rumors, make sure there are at least a few eyewitnesses.

That was a must-do aside from the standard. The reason for kidnapping the royal family is because they want to get magic. In order for eyewitnesses to spread rumors and to clarify the target of human anger.

Of course, Ugar did the same. He didn’t kidnap in front of everyone, but he didn’t kill the knights who were protecting the princess.

Rumors spread, and it became a fact that the 13 princesses of Hilderan were kidnapped by the Demon King of the Geum River.

“know. Don’t worry, I’m not asking for it as a Demon King.”

But what if the heroes came to the tower to save the princess, but there was no party involved?

Anyway, what if it turns out that the royal family is in another tower?

Of course, it’s not a big deal. The warriors will just get angry and chew on the demon king. But the demon kings were not.

It is a matter of personal pride, leaving everything behind rules and standards. Any demon king who supported him in the demon world had at least one such uncompromising pride.

If it had been the other way around, of course, Berger would also have poured out double lust.

“then?”

“Place the 13 Princesses of Hilderan on the lower floor, not the top. No need to climb to the top.”

“Like Reina Sordain?”

“Like Reina Sordain.”

“and?”

“And there is no I’ll take care of the rest, you just have to do it.”

“You bastard, when did you have an affair with the Heroes’ Guild?”

“Never.”

“Don’t be silly. Do you think I’m stupid?”

“Even if that’s true, why should I tell you?”

“It doesn’t seem like a lie to be the chief.”

“Thanks for the compliment.”

“Modify the contract.”

Berge added several provisions to the contract. At Ugar’s glance, the servants removed the broken debris and brought a new table.

“The conditions are the same as before. In addition to the three royal families mentioned above, I would like to mention two more. And if there’s more chaos than when I kidnapped them, I’ll give you a million magi points.”

“Not bad.”

“Of course it wouldn’t be bad. They’re going to kidnap them anyway, but even if they fail, they’ll earn extra income.”

“Heh, you were the one who said that he wanted to do that first.”

“In return, you must place the 13 Princesses of Hilderan on the third floor of the tower.”

“Why do you have to be on the third floor?”

“If you want the monsters you bought with points to die, you can place them on a higher floor. It’s not my loss.”

“…don’t let that happen.”

The contract ended by signing each of them with their own blood and injecting them with magic. The contract turned to ashes and absorbed into Ugar and Berge.

“It was a useful meeting.”

Berger stood up.

“When do you plan to come?”

“Well, I’m not sure, but I’ll try not to take more than a month at the latest.”

“If it takes longer than that, it will be considered a breach of contract.”

“You idiot. It wasn’t even written in the contract.”

Berge snorted and opened a rift to return to his tower.

“Let’s see you again someday.”

if you can see

“Don’t be bullshit and get out of the way.”

he disappeared

“…there’s no way that a guy who’s only been a year old would have had an affair with the guild.”

However, it would be possible if someone relayed it.

“Is that also Jason?”

Ugar scratched his shiny head.

“This is not the time for this. The tower needs to be repaired.”

Before something that had killed Draxon stretched its demonic powers to him.

Ugar hurriedly opened the tower’s information window.

Maybe it was because they kidnapped the new princess and prince, and I was quite satisfied with the real-time Magi.

* * *

quiver-

The door to the tower opened.

Berger, who had thrown off his magic, and Ernyan in disguise were together.

“Are you okay?”

“No problem.”

“…the things you’ve shown me so far, I’ll believe it, but please be careful.”

“I do.”

Leaving Gordon’s worries behind, the two left the tower.

“Thank you for accommodating my coercion.”

“You know what force is, don’t you?”

“yes.”

Ernya has summoned a wind spirit. The wind created by the spirit made her body lighter.

“Honestly, I didn’t think I would be able to get out of the tower until I was rescued by the hero.”

“If you’re thinking of escaping, you’d better give up. What’s on your neck will give you a pretty haircut that you don’t need.”

Around Ernyl’s neck was the same necklace that was on Logger’s in the past. It was a magic tool to restrain prisoners.

“I don’t. I asked for Elena, but my life is precious to me.”

“How will Hilderan react if it is known that you and the 13 Princesses are both captured by me?”

“It will be the same. My father doesn’t know. What kind of child Elena is.”

“Did I say I was completely neglected?”

“yes. As a father, Elena is a failure.”

“Even so, as you said, there is a possibility. But do I really need to turn my attention away?”

“Because I am.”

“Right.”

Well, if we were to compare a mana cannon whose performance is good if fixed, but we are not sure if it can be fixed, and the already high-end, best mana cannon, it goes without saying that it is the latter.

“Where are you going first?”

“I am Felsen from the Kingdom of Akan. I told you last time.”

“and?”

“Hitoon from Akan. The next one is Akan.”

“Are you crowded?”

“Akan and Traparta are rich and commerce developed, so it is a preferred area for nobles to make slush funds.”

It wasn’t bad to be able to save the troublesome effort.

From Horton Walk, I arrived at Felsen through the magic circle. I stopped in front of a large house in the inner residential area.

“Are you here?”

“yes. There are ten guards, five maids and maids in charge of the mansion. And there is a hidden safe in the basement.”

The wind spirit that came out of scouting the mansion sat on Ernyan’s shoulder.

“What level?”

“No one noticed the spirit.”

“It’s okay.”

“First of all, Felsen is a big city.”

The cities of Akan were particularly famous for their safety. It was because of the magic equipment they operated, but they could not catch the Demon King’s secret with those equipment.

– Theft with the Demon King and Princess. Is this precious?

“Niruniel-sama, please…”

Berge wrapped around Ernian’s waist and seeped into the darkness. In order to completely kill even the presence of Ernyan, they needed to have contact with each other.

“Where?”

“It’s on the left. Right here, right again. At the end of the hallway, there is a hidden passage behind the wall.”

“How to open?”

“The armor decoration in front is the key. Remove the armor, press the floor directly below, and the engine will work.”

kugugu-

A small noise rang out. Fortunately, there was no one around. The stairs continued into the darkness.

“There are no traps.”

“It seemed so.”

After a while, a huge vault appeared. The safe that filled an entire wall was an object that had been treated with all kinds of magic.

“This···.”

“The medium is blooming.”

“You’re tough.”

But there is nothing that cannot be broken.

“If you break it, the alarm will go off. I will also send a message to the owner of the safe.”

“Does not matter. You can run away right away.”

“So is it.”

Hwareuk-

The Phoenix’s flames flared violently.

– I don’t like that flame. It’s like looking at the ignorant fire spirits.

────!

The shock wave that broke the magic circle swallowed Nairuniel’s murmur.

A huge amount of gold appeared in the ruins of the vault door completely melted.

Berge shoved everything into the subspace and snatched Ernian. The knights who ran late were astonished.

“Oh My God! The safe has been robbed!”

“Call me right now!”

* * *

Two more in Felsen and three in Haitun, the two produced very large harvests.

“The secretly stolen slush funds are in a foreign country, so you won’t be able to openly find them. So, unless the Demon Lord turns himself in, there will be no problems.”

‘Even if you openly search for it, you don’t think you’ll find it.’

If the original demon caused a problem, a trace of the magi inevitably remains. Therefore, humans can more easily realize that the culprit is a demon, and can respond more smoothly.

This was the reason the demon lords’ range of activity was gradually decreasing.

But Berge got out of that constraint.

‘I’m really curious about the creature called the Phoenix.’

Of course it wasn’t perfect. Compared to his power as a demon king, he was insignificant right now, and it was awkward as if he was wearing clothes that didn’t fit.

However, the mere fact that it absorbed could not fade the splendor of the Phoenix that had transformed the demonic nature itself.

“Stop.”

The problem arose in the last city. Likewise, at the moment of robbing the safe.

Wedge-

Five arrows that cut through the air blocked the front of Berger and Ernian.

Someone jumped off the roof.

“What are you doing out of that house now?”

“·················ogue.”

“Why are you curious about that?”

Berge did not answer. Ernya opened her mouth instead.

“Why don’t you take off your robe first? You don’t look like the custodian of this mansion.”

“I have no reason to tell you that.”

“No, I have to tell you. I’ve been winning since a while ago, so have you been following me? I wondered why he was hiding in an alternate city.”

these thieves

The warrior, Daphner Philian, snorted.

It was a coincidence that he found the thieves. I found a high-level stealth in the city I stopped by to get a magic arrow. It’s strange to hide and move in the city.

The touch came and it was. There was no reason to hide in the city unless you were behind.

‘Is it because of Ernap?’

Berger frowned.

No matter how Daphner Philian, it was not a stealth technique that would be easily detected. As for the cause, there was only one piece of luggage that was not used to stealth.

“You don’t fight.”

“Are you okay though? I’m a Daphner Philian… It’s out here.”

“Animals are rare. It’s easy to be identified when you show your power.”

“yes.”

“What are you whispering! Give it away right now. Then, without harming me, I will hand it over to the Public Security Office.”

“You’re talking nonsense.”

“What?”

“No woodcutter brings out the felled wood.”

“A tree is like a tree. It is the rule of the world that if you cut down a tree that should not be cut down, you should be punished.”

“Because I don’t like things like Ichi and standard.”

The flames that Berge was secretly ignited all at once. A huge pillar of fire engulfed the mansion’s garden.

“You don’t think I knew that!”

Daphner drew a dagger. The flames split. He crumpled his body between them and fired his bow.

Wedge eh-

Ten aura arrows sprinted towards the enemy.

right? not.

The sign was blurred.

Daphner ran. I stepped on the wall and climbed up to the roof. In the distance, I could see dots that were rapidly getting smaller.

Daphner quietly pulled the protest. He took a breath and calmly shot the arrow.

A single ray of light struck the space.

blah-

right. The guy stumbled. But that was all.

The staggering thieves soon disappeared. There was nothing left in the place I arrived one step late.

“You dared to run away from me.”

Daphner grinded his teeth.

“…this mana. Don’t remember.”

The hotter, the most pure mana.

“But where do you think I saw your face…?”

He tilted his head and trampled a drop of blood that had fallen to the floor.
