We Live in Dragon's Peak

Continue southbound using a spatial leap.

There is no such thing as a well-maintained path to a ban that is not habitually inhabited by people. At one point, we use the beast path, and in dense forests, we fly from tree to tree. I felt good running through the meadows.

Pinch many breaks along the way.

When you sit down choosing a place where the sunlight feels good, you restore the dragon qi you consumed with meditation.

When she took a break, Ares manifested herself, riding on my lap, eating a purple potato, a recent favorite.

Breaking the broad ban over three days suddenly changed the air.

From dense natural air like the breath of the Great Forest to slightly cloudy signs of a smell of life.

Apparently, we've broken through the embargo.

But the only change is the quality of the air, and the appearance hasn't changed much. In other words, there was no clear demarcation, like a checkpoint or border line, so the nature of the embargo and the area south was inextricably connected.

Stop once and explore the surrounding signs.

The alarm that the Demons or someone might be nearby ended in worry.

Apparently, there are hardly any Demons living near the Forbidden Territories. Exploring the signs, the settlements and the like could not be felt.

"Well, which way did it go"

"Over there"

Travel up to the hills where the tall grass grows and see where you should head. Ares pointed in the southwest direction, so I let him resume the move to follow it.

A territory located south of the embargo that Kushalillah, the demon king of the north, has changed countries and the demon king of the giant has begun to draw his hand.

According to Luirala's story, from now on the area will be a lawless zone due to the absence of administrators, transformed into a chaotic world.

Will someone be elected Demon King or designated a ban administered directly by the ruler? Or would someone from the original clan make it a territory?

Anyway, it will be a tough world of weak predators with no law or order until they are placed under some control.

I'm sure there's an uninspiring horrible situation waiting for you, though it was a land I was prepared to enter.

It seems that the fact that it is near the forbidden territory still affects it. It doesn't mean the Demons can't feel the way they compete, or that demons and warcraft are trekking.

I just clap it out for a little while, but still go on reading a wide range of signs.

It's a land I don't know, so if I'm caught off guard, I'm going to a weird place. Without Ares' instructions, I might have stumbled on the first stage. [M]

I thank Ares for assimilating me on the move. [M] Then I felt Ares' gentle warmth inside my body.

As we continue to move, we can see the narrow paths that people use. When I followed the road and read the signs, I was also able to sense the gathering places of village-like people everywhere.

The border means that there doesn't seem to be a big town or anything like it at the moment. Every village has many and twenty or thirty villages, among which there are a few signs of strengthening. Other signs come from a few people. More like that. Perhaps the signs of strengthening are Demonic, other than that, people, etc.

In the demonic kingdom, people are treated as if they were less than slaves. It seems that other races will be treated as slaves if captured by demons, but people with low abilities and weak vitality, especially, are treated like consumables? Handle it badly because it is consumable and replenish it when it dies.

In large cities and cities, slave markets are opened, and people are traded for less than the luxury ingredients?

They have the profession of hunting people, hunting slaves, raiding hidden villages of people, or breaking into countries ruled by other races to collect slaves.

When I heard this story with Louis Lara, I had a strong anger and disgust for the Demons. But this is the demon race, and it's their society.

I can easily hold the sentiment that I will not tolerate enslaving people or any other race. But when you ask me if there's anything I can do, I just have to keep my mouth shut.

It is a mistake to glorify the liberation of slaves.

Only a limited number of people can save me from struggling. [M] Still, I don't think it makes sense if there's even a few people to be saved. Limited activities leave a consequence that gives hope in vain to those who were not saved. The hope of "ourselves, maybe we'll be saved" turns into irrevocable despair when we know we won't be saved.

If you are worried about the slavery of a demonic society, that is the only way to become a demon king and raise the flag of slave liberation.

But can we just liberate our own country? Ignore situations in other countries because they're out of your range? Apart from the Demons, there are species that treat people and vulnerable species as slaves. Like the gods and the Ariyi. Sell fights to these species, too?

I can't do that, and I don't have that kind of vessel or destiny.

Intervention halfway through, after all, goes hand in hand with saving only those in sight with their own convenience and self-satisfaction.

So from the beginning, I decided not to intervene in the slavery of the Demonic Nation.

That's how I reacted to my demon clan when I decided that I would never be the Demon King.

I'm not the one who disputes slavery and stands up. That must be the role of those who grew up in the demonic kingdom.

Sounds cruel, but that's the world.

I'm not the center of the world, I'm just such a tiny being, which means I've been told by old Sleighsta and others to sour my mouth before, but I was so reminded that I didn't like it under the embargo.

My level of activity is normal. That's the routine, and the people I've had tens of thousands of times more hard work and experience with are Nazariah and Micheira and the witches.

I have what I can do, and Micheira and the others have it. And in the same way, it exists in the demons and slaves. In it, all I could do right now was hope that those who stood up against slavery would show up.

I tried to stay away from the demonic settlement I sensed and proceeded to where Ares showed me.

Where are you headed?

Destination is not location. I was looking for someone.

They taught me a lot of places, but I don't have a land survey. At times like this, I rely on Ares' ability to read nature as the Spirit of the Spirit Tree.

Occasionally, I sense a group of demons going down the road. In the case of one or two people, the majority showed quite a sign. When in a group, signs are like junior demons. I wonder if he could be a traveler, a caravan, or a bunch of people hunting.

When I checked with these people, I killed the signs so they wouldn't be perceived.

You can't stand out.

If you stand out here, you won't know why you hid yourself from the embargo.

So, two more days.

There is still a lot of nature, and signs of demons and such are rare. But I had already done about two big cities.

At last, it feels like you've stepped deep into the demonic kingdom.

Last year, when I traveled through the sky on the backs of Neemia and Lily, I saw a lot of cities and cities that developed and flourished far more than the nations of the people under my eyes. It could be such a region from now on.

So, who's the target?

How far can I go to meet you? and where I was about to be foolish.

"I found it. I found it."

Ares shrugged in her heart.

I will follow it and explore the signs carefully.

It was easy to find.

In the back of the mountain, discover the signs of one. Around us, there were no signs of people, not demons, so we quickly know that this is the person we want.

"Okay, let's go"

Finish the break and let the move resume.

Kill the signs more than ever and proceed with caution.

When entering mountainous areas where the intended person is present, refrain from successive spatial leaps. Once you fly, explore if you are not aware of the signs. It's okay, when I make sure, I pack the distance again with a spatial leap.

Knock it off.

Take my surprise!

Thanks to careful progress, the intended person was indulgent in the back of the mountain without noticing this one.

Approach until you confirm the back of the intended person at the end of the gap between the trees.

And I packed the distance all at once.

"Wow!"

Slap a good figure on the back.

The chills not only hit my spine, but my whole body. In a hurry, take the distance with a full spatial leap.

"Geez!

And I was the one who screamed.

The moment I thought the horrible signs swung down from my head. Until a moment ago, the surroundings where I stood exploded, the trees fell, and the dust blew away.

……

Too powerful, I got my buttcake at the end of a space leap.

"... Oh, Elnea, it's you"

A person who unleashed a terrible killing spirit and blew up behind his own back. The intended person broke his face when he saw me surprised with a buttcake in the distance.

You can't just hit me in the back.

"Yes..."

"I was in a hurry because I thought I'd been surprised."

"Oh, I'm sorry..."

"No pranks. Almost got you, Ernea."

"I tried to surprise you..."

"You might want to pick someone."

"Right."

"If it were me or His Majesty, I might laugh and forgive you, but if it were Charlotte, there would be a scary cage waiting for you."

"I don't want to imagine!

"Right!"

When I get up, I walk up to the person I want. And I shook hands at a long reunion.

"Luilara, long time no see"

"Hi, Mr. Elnea. Long time no see. Was it a little later than planned?

"I'm sorry. There's a lot going on in the Forbidden Territories."

"Elnea, that sounds like you."

"Well, I guess..."

"Nevertheless, you seem to have improved the way you erase the signs."

"Yeah. I got to meet him on the Forbidden Land."

"I see. Is that one of those things?"

"That sort of thing"

From the beginning, I planned to rendezvous with Luirala after I broke the embargo. [M]

Nevertheless.

The prank of trying to surprise Luilara a little was a failure. I didn't expect you to react like that accidentally.

But you are, aren't you? It is fatal for Luirala and the Demons to live in a world of weak and forceful eating to be unintentional. It's instinct to fight back. If you don't, you won't be dead.

It's a bit of a reflection.

But it's unreasonable...

It's not fair that you can't prank me when I'm caught off guard by Louis Lara.

I feel a little indigested and would love to see you again. I checked my surroundings while I did so, and I was in a tragic situation.

Huge plots of land could be created in the mountains, and the surrounding mountains were causing cliff collapses and landslides.

I'm glad no one is around to read the signs. I was trying to work in secrecy, but I couldn't even see if I could find this commotion.

And.

Luilala wants you to be a swordsman fool, after all. I was reminded once again that a situation without a sword would be horrible.

Gently exchange reunion greetings and bickering to get your mind back together.

When Luilara made sure I was ready, she started moving.

"Well, shall we go? To assassinate Gilrad!

And Luilala smiled just to say that the fun had begun, and she said that to me.
