Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 280

63. eting the Fallen Angel (1)

A hunting festival took place.

Deus was not the only team targeting Mammoth.

There was another team on the other side.

Looking at their skills, it seed like they were a G-level party. The large mammoth couldn’t even think about it, so it lured the smaller guys and killed them one by one.

Not only them, but nearly 10 teams of humans were hunting mammoths.

The mammoths still grazed leisurely, perhaps not even aware that so of their herd was dying.

Looking at that, Deus changed his mind.

Aren’t the ones going extinct not humans but mugwort monsters?

In the evening, a barbecue party made with mammoth at was held.

There were 10 people in the party alone.

I was quite excited to eat, drink, and pour loudly.

Not far away,

there was a group setting up a hunting camp. A fairly large flag was erected and the barracks were brightly lit.

From what I heard, it seed like so kind of earl had gathered the people.

The atmosphere wasn’t very good.

The results of today’s hunt were bad. Because the driver who was the captain made a mistake, the damage to the unit was too great.

Unfortunately, I touched the leader of a group and was chased by dozens of mammoths, so I had to move camp three tis.

So it seed like the noisy barbeque party at the camp next door was annoying.

It was only after Deus’ tongue curled slightly that a man wearing silver-white armor appeared, leading four servants.

“Adventurers, I am Delphiron, Count Selpakan’s knight.”

“however?”

Deus asked a question and Delphiron frowned.

“You seem drunk. I’ll say it again. “I am Baron del Piron, knight of Count Selpican.”

The two letters ‘Baron’ were particularly accented.

“Just because you’re drunk doesn’t even clog up your ears, right? “But what?”

“Heh heh… I an Baron Delphiron.”

“Are you drunk too? “Why do you keep repeating what you said?”

“Looking at him, he doesn’t seem to be a nobleman, but according to Jose’s laws…

Deus didn’t even seem to listen to him and looked back at the group.

“Just stay still. Is there anyone here who has any social status?… Unless they are at the bottom of the ladder or have had their resident registration canceled…

Ah, there is one here. A subordinate’s subordinate.” Deus’ eyes fell on a man.

He is none other than Katran Pan Holy Sword. He was a warrior from a prestigious family in Isolta.

“Yes old.”

Katran was startled and stood up.

“Solve it.”

“yes.”

Katrun turned and approached Baron Delphiron.

“This is Katran van Hollygum.” “Phan Holy Sword? If it’s Holy Gum, maybe

it’s Isolta’s…

“Yes.”

“ah! It was the Hollygum family’s hunting party. sorry. “I almost committed a great offense without even knowing it.”

The Baron lowered his head with a sad look on his face.

The Holy Gum family was a G-class warrior family. The family’s title was marquis, and their power was so strong that they were right below King Isolta.

Katran had two more older brothers, all of whom were G-class warriors and well-respected.

The family’s fortune was growing day by day thanks to the three brothers.

Although this was the land of the Erion Federation, almost on the opposite continent from Isolta, there was no noble who did not know the reputation of the Hollygum family.

“What brought you to visit us?”

Delphiron hesitated at Katran’s polite question.

“It

looks like the Count gave an unreasonable order. “The superiors are completely unaware of the hardships of the subordinates.”

“I’m embarrassed. Because we failed at the hunt… the Count did not bring the main ingredients, saying he would have a party using the fish caught today. While eating cheese crumbs and fruit, he slled the sll of at and beca angry…

He trailed off as he spoke, perhaps because he was embarrassed.

Deus suddenly joined the conversation.

“What did you co here to beg for at? Then say that already. “Give a big piece of Zeke.”

“For so reason, you are being lenient.”

“It’s not tolerance, it’s business. “Of course I have to get paid.”

“Yes?”

Zeke smiled and took off half of the at he was grilling.

There was too much anyway. I planned to marinate the leftovers in sauce and store them to eat tomorrow.

“How much will you give ?”

Deus asked Baron Delphiron.

It was difficult to guess his identity as he was a mber of the Hollygum family and spoke openly to the baron himself.

I even forgot how angry I was and scratched my head.

“That”

“If it were our store, we would have gotten one fairy tale per person? “This is enough for 30 people.”

“Then, can I give you 30 fairy tales?”

“no. “1 silver coin.”

“why!”

“Don’t you know? If you buy food in a valley or mountain, you end up getting ripped off. “If you don’t like it, just go back.”

“I understand. “I will give you a piece of silver.”

It wasn’t a small amount of money. Besides, there was no way the Count would give him that money.

All you can do is think of it as a bribe and pay it.

I paid silver and received at. The four servants followed after him, carrying the at.

“Anyway, the technique of turning the tables is the best.”

Deus laughed at what Yulgeum suddenly said.

“Everyone makes a living thanks to this body, right?” It wasn’t wrong.

The next day, Baron Delphiron visited the bar again.

“Lord Hollygham.”

Although he was only a subordinate of Deus’ subordinate, Baron Delphiron mistakenly thought that Katran was the leader of this group.

“Lord Delphiron, what’s going on?”

“It’s no different… To be honest, we are good at war, but we are not good at hunting. The Count is ordering us to hunt down that huge monster again today, but we can do it alone…

“Are you saying we should hunt together?”

” yes.”

Katrun looked back at Deus with a troubled expression. At that mont, he too was looking at with interest.

Deus slowly opened his mouth.

“There has to be a level of shalessness. “How does asking you to hunt together help when I didn’t catch a single thing yesterday?”

“I think your words are a bit excessive.”

“On the contrary, I will give you a hunting experience, so give 50 copper coins for each head.”

“We are the knights of the family of Count Selpakan!”

“order? “So you must be a noble?”

“exactly!”

“I changed my mind. One silver coin per person. “Nobles are annoying.”

“Look!”

“There is a reward worth 5 gold coins for each mammoth. This side is making money now. I caught 12 fish yesterday. In terms of money, it’s over 60 gold, but if you don’t make more than yesterday because it’s a problem, how will you take responsibility?”

“Our knights…

“We can’t catch even a single one.”

“It was just bad luck!”

“Then you guys hold it together. Could it be that you’re unlucky two days in a row?”

“ That’s…

“Why is the guy asking for a favor so stiff? I’m in a bad mood, so I have to sing it higher. 2 silver coins. It’s a hunting experience fee. Pay it and join in or get out.”

“I am here talking to Lord Hollygum!”

“Then why don’t you just take him? “It doesn’t really matter if you don’t have it.”

Katrun let out a sigh.

“It’s too much. “If you think about it, the two main knights and I hunted most of the mammoths yesterday, didn’t we?”

“If or Zeke co forward, it will be sorted out in one day.”

“That’s true, but…

“If you keep attacking , you too will have to pay the party fee. “A high-ranking noble above the count earns one gold coin per day.”

Katrun said while looking at Delphiron.

“My situation is like this. “I don’t think it will be of much help.”

Delphiron gave up his pride and said:

“Being friendly with a knight from the earl’s family will help you in many ways.”

Deus asks.

“Specifically?”

“That’s… receiving the protection of a white country…

“I’m receiving the support of the Principality of Hollyspindle, so what’s the point of being a white country?”

Delphiron’s mouth beca dry again. The other person’s prestige was quite high, so I thought he had so level of status, but I couldn’t believe he was a gourt of the principality!

“Lord Hollygham, please. “How

could it not?”

I was almost in tears.

It seed like he was under quite a bit of pressure from the Count.

Katrun hesitated, but Deus spoke again.

“That’s annoying. Then do it like this. Are you guys going to clean up after the hunt?”

“What is a waste disposal tank?”

“It’s about dismantling the at and organizing the ivory. “I also collect nose tips, which are evidence of hunting, and exchange them for gold coins.”

As I listened, it seed like sothing only slaves would do

.

Just as I was about to feel bad, a new person intervened and opened his mouth.

“When you say it like that, it seems like a complete chore. If possible, please na it like this. Administrator of the main camp.”

Delphiron’s eyes opened brightly.

“Main camp’s… ranger.”

He looked at his opponent. He was a sturdy young man with brown hair.

His expression was dull and his eyes were deep. Contrary to his good-natured expression, I felt an inexplicable majesty.

“ Sir said,

“You can just call Zeke. “The Count must have brought quite a few slaves with him to hunt.”

“exactly. “500 people is enough.”

“If you use that manpower to sort out the ga, we will be able to hunt at a faster rate. As for the profit… it may be difficult to give a lot, but I think we can still set a level that is acceptable to us. For example, they take the honor and we get the benefit.”

“What about honor?”

“Wouldn’t it be okay to borrow the na of the count’s family when exchanging ga prizes? Of course, we receive most of the prize money.”

The more I heard about Delphiron, the more it seed like he wasn’t that bad.

It seed like if I continued hunting like this, I would be lucky enough to catch one or two.

If you look closely, the reason the Count went on a rampage was because he was shy.

It was clear that he would beco a

laughing stock in the aristocratic society for a long ti since he brought hundreds of slaves and knights and barely caught a single animal .

“I will go to my bar and talk to the Count.”

Deus shouted behind him.

“I can’t give you money. “Why don’t you take so at with you?”

“I understand.”

Not long after leaving, the Baron returned to where Zeke and his group were.

As Deus said, we ca with the condition that the entire prize money would go to us and the by-products would be divided about 7:3. The Count also

seed satisfied

with receiving the honor . Yesterday’s hunt was that harsh.

The hunt continued for nearly 15 days.

The mammoths that had occurred in large numbers of about 1,000 were almost eliminated.

People gathered around the idea of making money.

In the anti, the number of hunting teams increased to over 100.

Now the hunting team of Count Selpakan, led by Deus and Zeke, hunted about 300 of them. It was a trendous achievent

, well over 1,300 gold coins

.

Fortunately, Count Selpakan did not show greed for money until the end.

Of course, 1,000 gold coins was quite a lot of money, but it was not a large amount of money that the monarch of a hundred kingdoms would shalessly covet.

Moreover, the money earned from selling by-products was enough to save dozens of gold coins, so it was enough to save one’s face.

On top of all that, he didn’t have ti to count his gold coins because he was bragging about his nurous achievents in social circles. It was a good deal

that both Deus and the Count were satisfied with

.

Deus, pulling a carriage full of gold coins, headed back to Holly Spindle Castle.

The mont they were about to leave, Baron Delphiron rode his horse in a huff and shouted loudly.

“We’re in big trouble!”

Deus said to Zeke.

“Bounce.”

” yes?”

“Run fast. I think I’ll get caught up in sothing troubleso.”

But no matter how fast the carriage was, it could not be faster than a wild horse.
