Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 102

24. A guest cos from afar (1)

Cadenza looked at Zeke and Deus alternately. If I cut off the head of that Deus with my sword right now, would I be able to bring Zeke back?

It couldn’t have been that way.

The relationship was already bound by trust.

The only way to separate was to sever that trust.

Cadenza took a step back.

“There is nothing to criticize so harshly

. Humanity is still looking for a better way. “The fight will not end until the demons are sealed in the demon world forever.”

Zeke said to Cadenza.

“I may be with Deus-sama, but that doesn’t an I’ll be enemies with the Zodiac Knights. We too will fight for humanity. “For now, we will fight together here.”

Oridon burst into laughter.

“Cadenza praised him so much that my mouth watered, so I asked him what kind of boy he was, and he said I liked him too. good! For now

, let’s return to Lord Joryx. Oh, by the way, where are you coming from now?”

“Ah, Seonghwangcheong.”

“Seonghwangcheong? “What is it like there?”

“I abandoned Neuekan and took refuge in Acoma in Verde.”

“Is that so? Well then, sooner or later we will be summoned too. “

Oridon put the Bastard Sword on his shoulder and sighed.

“It feels like the era of war has suddenly moved forward a generation. So, a hero who uses an aura has appeared?”

Zeke just scratched his head at his words.

There must be so reason why God gave us strength.

Unfortunately, it may be in a place beyond human wisdom.

“Are you telling to imitate Seonggun? “I don’t think I can do that.”

Lord Joryx Mondonu was currently chewing a large piece of at.

“Eat and drink the sa things as the people? Now they are starving. And

they are drinking water with floating ant corpses.”

Zeke bowed his head in front of him.

“What about you? The paladins said that he had gained great power. But it’s Joe Deak Night! “Why are two such great beings gathered in this castle?”

The sll of alcohol reached Zeke’s nose.

“They say you are loyal to a rchant called Deus. However, everything that lives in Joryx Castle

belongs to , Mondo New. Whoever you party with is up to you. However, that power must be fully used for , Mondonho.” Zeke could tell.

Now he was consud by fear.

The castle was destroyed, and even the sumr house that was thought to be safe was turned into a ss by an unexpected attack.

He was still master of Zoryx Castle and the surrounding villages, but he now had little left to rule.

The people were starving.

We set up in a seemingly safe field several kiloters away from the villa,

but we didn’t even have a sleeping bag.

Everyone was lying down on the grass and trying to sleep.

Zorick’s residence hall was also nothing more than a tent with high flags.

Inside, he chewed at and drank wine to soothe his anxiety.

“I swear. “Protect with your strength.”

“The power of a warrior does not belong to the individual monarch. I personally follow Deus, but I do not serve him as my master. The warrior’s strength belongs only to God, and

he obeys only His commands.”

Mondonho threw the glass he was holding at Zeke’s head.

Perhaps because he was drunk or because he had not aid accurately, the tin cup rolled on the floor with a loud noise.

The servant was startled and picked up the glass and wiped the spilled alcohol on the floor.

“You cocky bastard. “I would be grateful for the master’s grace if you let live in the castle as part of a family of contract warriors.”

Zeke silently accepted his verbal abuse

.

At that ti, a man ca in making loud footsteps.

“Hey Mondogne. “You must have been very drunk.”

“Soone is this! “Isn’t it Canadine!”

Canadine saw that Zeke’s hair was wet with alcohol.

It was a situation that left much to be guessed. It seed that Mondogne, who had lost his temper and was in despair, had taken the initiative.

“Zeek, wake up.”

“Kannadine, my old friend. Listen to what he says. Zeke,

tell . “Who is your master?”

“My master is only God.”

“Who am I?”

“You are the lord.”

“Who am I to you?”

“He is the lord of Joryx Castle, where I live.”

“Then I am your master!”

“The power of a warrior is no one’s property.”

Mondonho burst out laughing.

“Haha! Look, my friend. As you said, as soon as he gained power, he betrayed us. I’ll follow the Zodiac Knight !

“Becoming a famous paladin in Seonghwangcheong is the dream of every warrior.”

The mont Canadin said, ‘As you said,’ an awkward smile appeared on his lips.

Zeke sighed briefly and spoke to Mondogne.

“It’s not a story about who betrays whom. “Isn’t there only one true master of mankind?”

“Look at that, he’s even arrogantly giving a theology lecture, isn’t he?”

“Zeek, go out and see. The lord

has drunk a lot. “Don’t take what I said today

to heart.”

“Yes, Master Cannadine.”

Zeke bowed his head and left the barracks.

The stars floating in the dark night sky filled my eyes.

The zodiac refers to the 12 constellations along the ecliptic, or path through which the sun passes.

Stars in the shape of question marks, representing the head of the constellation Leo, were visible straight ahead.

Paladin of Leo.

Cadenza said he wanted Zeke to sit there.

Mondogne called himself a traitor.

Since eting Deus, the world has changed at a very fast pace.

And he changed even faster than that.

I took a step.

I chased after other stars that dotted the dark field.

These were bonfires to endure the cold.

Those who had wealth built walls made of cloth and spent the night inside them.

The poor couldn’t even get a bonfire easily.

So swallowed dry at, while others chewed grass roots.

Across the horizon, stars twinkled in the sky and bonfires twinkled on the ground.

Zeke walked there endlessly.

Suddenly this thought occurred to . If only there were food stalls…

if there were food ingredients to share for free with those hungry people.

I wanted to leave just one spot in front of it empty for Deus and cook for everyone all night long.

“It might be okay.”

After spitting out words, Zeke quickly

walked towards where the group was.

Zeke quietly approached Lakhe without waking anyone else.

We weren’t close friends yet.

Moreover, although her body was a plant, her outer appearance was that of a woman. I had no choice but to be a little cautious.

Lakhe fell asleep standing with his bare feet on the dirt.

He was leaning on a long pole. Although it had the appearance of a human, its instincts were close to those of a plant. Just as

Zeke was wondering how to wake her up,

he heard a voice from behind.

“Are you going to be unable to control the boiling sexual desire of adolescence and finally cross the line that you shouldn’t cross?”

“Lord De Deus! That’s…

“Anyway, you have unusual tastes. “Are you a plant?”

“no!”

“Do you want to wrap vines around you?”

“Because it’s not!”

The voice rose.

Enough for everyone in the group to open their eyes.

“Because that’s not it.”

Deus pointed his finger at Zeke, who was almost crying.

“He approached her slightly and tried to do sothing.”

Lakke, who was pointed out as ‘that guy’, looked at Zeke and said shyly.

“If it is a crystal, please send it lightly on the wind.”

Zeke bowed his head.

“I will go and die. “Thank you for everything.”

“Otherwise, why did you try to wake Lakhe?”

Zeke said in response to Deus’ question.

“Well… I was wondering if Mr. Lake could make sothing that people would eat.”

“Sothing to eat? “You an fruit or sothing like that?”

“yes. Because they left the castle so suddenly, the poor residents didn’t seem to be able to get anything to eat. “It was not possible to leave food at ho for several days.”

“It would be better not to. Lakhe is a mugwort monster. “The plants that produce it

will also be contaminated.”

Lakhe said.

“If the mugwort you’re talking about was a poison that spread during the Gilded Age, it’s almost completely been purified now. “We are certainly creatures born mutated by that pollution, but we are not polluted ourselves.”

“Can I eat it?”

“of course.”

“Yulgeum!”

Deus fell to one side and called to Yulgeum, who was dazed with sleepy eyes.

“Really?”

“I don’t know either. “We don’t even have asuring equipnt.”

“Why are you pretending to be a wise man, but then turning away when it’s really necessary?”

“Who pretended to be a wise man? wait. “If it’s asuring equipnt, I might have it in my warehouse.”

“Co quickly.”

Yulgeum nodded and summoned the door.

At the ti she disappeared beyond the door, Lakke blood a flower and

produced a handful of bean-like fruit.

“It’s really possible!”

“It’s a type of procrastination. “You can eat it raw.”

“Are you afraid?”

“There is such fruit.”

Zeke accepted her fruit.

“Don’t eat yet. “It’s really a big problem.” While Deus was gesturing, Yulgeum

opened the door again and appeared.

What she brought back was a yellow machine the size of her palm.

Yulgeum said as he put the machine on the fruit and took it off.

“It looks really good. First of all, mugwort is not contaminated.”

“I am not foolish enough to dare to speak nonsense to the owner of the crown.”

Deus still had a doubtful look on his face, but since the law guaranteed him, he couldn’t help but believe it.

“Try it.”

” yes.”

Zeke put a long fruit the size of two fingers into his mouth.

I was once again surprised by the soft texture and sweet taste.

“and! it is delicious!”

Deus also reached out his hand and took a bite.

“It’s worth eating.”

“How much can you make in one night?”

“It is also possible to create a forest.”

Zeke smiled and nodded at Lake’s answer.

“forest! That’s it. “If we make a small bush a little to the southeast of here, produce fruit, and

guide people there, wouldn’t we be able to naturally fill our stomachs?”

Everyone agreed with Zeke’s idea.

Lakhe spoke again.

“We will take the nutrients from the ground and use that power to make flowers bloom and bear fruit. “In the anti, I will be defenseless, so Zeke will protect .”

“yes! Do not worry.”

Zeke imdiately put Lake on his horse and set off towards the southeast.

Deus chuckled as he looked at that.

“I’d rather sell fruit. “I would make a lot of money.”

Yulgeum tapped Deus on the shoulder.

“You look better as a rchant than a king.”

“Why are you fighting again?”

“What is the dispute? “Zeke truly has the quality of a prince.”

Deus sohow didn’t feel uncomfortable hearing Zeke’s praise.

Hatred and curses must be more pleasant feelings than praise and love…

I ended up tilting my head at the strange feeling.

“Did you breathe too much of the air of the human world? I don’t know. I’ll sleep, so you can play the saint’s miracle among yourselves.”

Deus lay down in his seat again.
