Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 124

29. Breaking prejudices and gaining friends

(1)

The female employee shuffled through docunts without much change in her expression.

“Ah, there is sothing happening in Kenan Village. “The tis are suspicious, so this is classified as a B-class request.”

” What?”

“They are asking to transport the urn. “I ask you to bury in the grave of the Thomas family in the village’s charnel house.”

” are you kidding?”

“It’s no joke. “Here is the formal request.”

She put a piece of paper on the table.

From the na of the person who entrusted the work to the reward fee. All items were in the public domain of Seonghwangcheong.

Terjan von Helios turned his head slightly and looked at Deus and said.

“It’s a request that’s perfect for B-class. Would you like to accompany you? “If we go with Legion Helios, won’t we be guaranteed safety?”

“Ha, that’s good. Zeke, take the request!”

“yes yes. Deus.”

“Let’s go with the guys who are either Legion or ow. I guess I can go comfortably hahaha.”

Zeke continued to avoid his eyes as his skin seed to tingle due to Deus’s anger.

Only Yulgeum, who was sitting on the sofa waiting for the two n, sighed briefly and said one word.

“That idiot.”

The urn was placed on Deus’ horse saddle.

It was a small wooden box the size of a human head.

The person who entrusted the request was a rchant in his 40s. He said it was to keep his widowed mother’s will.

In fact, the cost of a B-class request was not small.

This ti too, a gold coin was offered as a reward.

One gold coin was equivalent to half a year’s living expenses for an ordinary family.

After getting ready, I got on the horse. The only people in the group

were Zeke and Yulgeum.

Nezar, the squire, decided to work at the store instead of Zeke. He was entrusted with the job of managing the underground fish.

Lakke was quite popular in the hall. Although her bangs covered her eyes and made her look a little gloomy, that also aroused her manic fan spirit.

When Zeke and two other n left the west gate, they found about 500 soldiers lined up not far away.

They were Legion Helios, who had been waiting for Zeke on purpose.

There was nothing lacking in the na Legion.

The cavalryn, decorated with uniform armor and barding, lined up on the plain in unison without any disruption.

Wizards, swordsn, spearn, and priests took turns forming a line.

The flag of the Legion Helios flew at the head and rear of the unit. The level of training could be guessed just by the military’s placent and movents.

“Ah, seeing that image reminds of sothing.”

Zeke looked at that and opened his mouth.

“Mr. Teryan…

is the son of Shaft von Helios, who serves as commander-in-chief of the Gelon Army.”

“Are you saying it’s a family without punishnt?”

In fact, there were no such outstanding warriors in Legion Helios.

The senior warrior of the most powerful 1st Battalion was also a pureblood, only sowhere in the middle of the G class.

They believed in the Helios family and accepted military-like formal training.

As a result, Legion Helios was a completely different type of warrior corps.

Teryan drove his horse and

approached Zeke, Deus Yulgeum, and others.

“Are you ready?”

“There is nothing to prepare. “There is no need to group them together like weak mutts.”

“Humans are inherently weak. Think about it. The wolf’s sharp teeth and claws. Compared to wild beasts, we cannot even dare to say that the human body is strong. But it is we humans who own those powerful beasts as decorations. “That is the power of the Legion.”

“yea, I got it. “Weak mutt.”

“You are a person with strong pride. I heard the story .

They say he was a rchant who had achieved considerable wealth. If it weren’t for my father’s teachings to use honorifics with everyone…

“Why does it make feel bad to use honorifics with the rchant Nabulaengi?”

Teriyan laughed.

“It is as you said.”

“Then do whatever is comfortable for you. “It won’t matter whether you use informal language or swear.”

“Now that I think about it, you don’t use honorifics towards either.”

« o »

“Rude guy.”

“Okay, swear more.”

“A promise is a promise. We, the Legion of Helios, have chosen to protect you, and we will keep that promise. Don’t disturb , just follow . “I will let you taste the true power of the Legion.”

“It goes without saying that it won’t taste very good, but let’s take a look. “That’s what it tastes like.”

Teriyan looked straight at Deus and shouted loudly.

“Legion! Pull ahead!”

Pooh-uh-uh-ed!

As the horsen repeated Teriyan’s words loudly, the army began to move

.

The cavalry moved at a fairly fast pace. They ford a five-line column and ran from the front along the highway leading to the northwest.

There was no disruption. I may not know it as a warrior, but as an army mber, I had no choice but to give it a very high evaluation.

Teryan looked at Deus with a boastful look and then returned to his army.

“You’re holding up well.”

Deus silently turned the fire over

as Yulgeum spoke to him by the bonfire .

“What do you think is the most irritating cliché in a play about human relationships?”

“well?”

“I save the person who ignores when he is overwheld by an extre situation.”

“Will I really be crushed? “This army.”

About 50 ters away, Legion Helios set up a barracks.

Even the way they spent their nights was reminiscent of the military.

The squad set up barracks and the echelon ford a camp.

The supply unit was placed in the center of the corps and moved around in a set order.

In addition, one corps was camouflaged about 100 ters away, preparing for a possible attack on the main camp.

Deus thought back to the Giant Ant Clan that Zeke once faced.

It seed that even a small, immature clan would be enough for Legion Helios to deal with.

“Well, it might be worth dealing with a dragon or two.”

“Do you think one or two dragons are a joke? “Don’t you rember when the Fairy Alliance had to ask for help from outside because they only had five or six dragons?”

“Did you?”

“The feeling there is strange.”

“Well, I would do that, but things like common sense don’t happen around here these days.”

Yulgeum could not refute his words.

“Phew.”

Deus let out a long sigh.

“You seem to be sighing a lot these days.”

“okay?”

“huh. What are you worried about? “Would you like this sister to give so advice?”

“My sister is freezing to death. In terms of age…

“Stop.” “If the logic goes any further, this sister gets angry.”

“Anyway, there’s nothing to worry about… Is that really it?”

“You were worried. say it.”

“Ho, it’s nothing special. “It’s like a feeling of loss.”

“Because of the loss of property?”

“No, I don’t think that’s right.”

“You can make money again. “I heard the restaurant is going to be a big hit?”

“Because there are no places selling food in the castle right now. We hired all the best chefs from our previous restaurants. “It’s even weirder that business isn’t working.”

“therefore.”

“It’s not about money. I wasn’t really interested in the first place. I also have enough money to spend. Let’s be honest: if it’s not enough, you can just rob the warehouse of any kingdom.”

” Villain.”

“Because you are the devil.”

“Well, it’s even weirder that the devil works hard and makes money.”

Yulgeum smiled and continued.

“Then what kind of loss do you an?” Deus saw Zeke sleeping.

That boy worked hard at everything.

Even when sleeping, he did not take off his armor. He was holding the famous sword Doomsrino in his arms.

“Why Zeke?”

” huh?”

“What does that feeling of loss have to do with Zeke?”

“is it? “But that sword.”

“Blue Rhino?”

“It’s extrely sturdy. “I thought I would change it at least once.”

“That’s because my magic is on. I am restoring my own durability. “It won’t be easy to spoil until it goes beyond its limits.”

“no wonder. “Even if it were a blue rhino horn, it wouldn’t be that hard.”

“Any amount of praise is fine.”

“I see what the problem is.”

“Have you finally rembered?”

” that’s right.”

” What?”

“I don’t have any more equipnt to fit.”

“huh?”

“Up until now, you still had a goal. The goal is to make a full set by adding weapons and shields, from armor to shoes.”

“Was that the goal?”

“of course. “Then why do you think you’ve been wandering around the country collecting dragon scales?”

“No, if it’s a goal, it’s a goal… Yulgeum

glanced at

the armor Zeke was wearing .

It was made by gathering dragon scales and other equally rare materials.

In fact, if we look at the level of weapons, he was no less than the last man.

When I first t Zeke, I was able to fight against nurous powerful enemies with the skills I lacked and win, thanks to the help of the equipnt.

“There are tis when you can be helpful too. I think I understand now. “What is lacking?”

“I’m glad it helped, but sothing doesn’t feel right.”

“I need to fit new equipnt.”

“I already have one.”

“It’s a weapon.”

“then?”

“What is Zeke’s real specialty? fence? Shield art? All of that is secondary. I was born as a warrior, so I just do it. “Among Zeke’s specialties, there is sothing that really surprises people, right?”

“cooking?”

“bingo!”

“…Cooking equipnt?”

U o ” huh

“A frying pan or sothing?”

“You have to start with the wok. The basics of cooking are a wok and a knife.”

“Let alone the ridiculous prejudice… What are you going to do by creating sothing like that? To make carry it with ?”

“Then you’re telling to leave it behind?”

“Wouldn’t it be a bit funny to wear full plate mail and a wok on your waist?”

“They say give a shit about stereotypes.”

“It’s not a stereotype, it’s common sense, right?”

“That’s it. “Isn’t it strange that it works as a shield but not as a wok?”

“sorry. “It was my mistake to discuss common sense with you

.”

“I will accept your apology.”

“The bottom line is, it’s not what the wok wants to make.”

“yes. It’s also the best. What would be better? “First of all, we need to get so legendary tal, right?”

“Are you planning on making it stronger than the shield?”

“Dragon scales are poor conductors of heat. “If it’s a wok, it has to transmit heat well.”

Yulgeum swallowed his words in confusion,

but the light returned to his eyes. I think it will give you a sigh of relief.

that is enough.

“Now that we’ve decided that, let’s go back to collecting materials.”

Zeke looked at Deus with a blank face.

As soon as I woke up at dawn, the story I told everyone to sit in front of was the leader’s speech about making a wok.

“Yes…

“Do you understand? “Why is the answer like that?”

“four!”

Zeke scratched his head and looked into Deus’ eyes again.

“You’ve been so worried these days, is this what you wanted to do?”

“Did you think I was sighing?”

“yes. “He seed a little bored.”

“Good good. They’re great guys. “No, my subordinates in my hotown only talk about my master and master, but when I really need them, they disappear sowhere and can’t even be seen.”

“You an forr deacon Alex?”

“Don’t even ntion that bastard’s na.”

“yes.”

“It looks like they are moving too. “We’ll take our ti and look around, and if there’s anything we can use as material, let’s collect it.”

I saw Teriyan coming this way on horseback. Deus also got on his horse, looking at him with a glance.

Teriyan said.

“Then let’s get going.”

“You ignore like that, but co and report to regularly.”

“It’s not a report. “I’m trying to eliminate excuses later

. We, Legion Helios, always do our best to protect the weak.”

He imdiately turned his eyes away from Deus and looked at Zeke.
