5. Adjusting the equipment (4)
After sending Zeke away, Alex listened closely to the door.
It seemed like it would be a little awkward to go back in, so he decided to sneak in and listen.
“…Press there gently. Yes, that’s right. small bumps. “That’s the most sensitive place.”
“Are we here?”
“I told you to press it slightly. I can’t feel it if I press too hard
. “Draw a circle like that.”
Alex immediately took his ears off.
I decided not to listen and turned around and walked towards the store.
“It seems a little different.”
“Similar to fingerprints, the shapes of the scale roots of dragons are all different.”
“What does it mean?”
“I don’t know either. Because God designed it that way.”
“I’m not using it to find lost children.”
Deus put down the scale he was holding and spoke again.
“Thanks to you, I was able to find the lost child. “It’s just a dead body.”
“Sometimes children would go missing. “I couldn’t find any traces, so I gave up… but then something like this came out of an unexpected place.”
“Are you saying the warriors are poaching dragons?”
“Could you please stop being so blunt?”
“Then how should I tell you?”
“Haha, what
’s the point no matter how I dress it up?”
“Don’t be too serious. “That flutter and this black thing might not have much to do with each other.”
“We also have to deal with the issue of the black dragon. Why is the body of a missing dragon being circulated among humans?”
“The missing dragon may have run amok in the human world. “It’s neutral in terms of race to race, but it’s acceptable to kill the opponent who attacks you first, right?”
“It’s impossible. This kid is just over 100 years old. “What are the chances of
a child crossing into the human world alone and attacking humans ?”
“Humans are greedy for the dragon’s body, and dragons are curious about the human world. “Isn’t this what happens when these two get along?”
“But hunting a dragon that doesn’t attack is a violation of the armistice.”
“so? Are you going to bring all your comrades and burn the human world to the ground?” Yulgeum clenched his fists.
“If there is evidence.”
“Shall I make it for you? “That’s the proof.”
“You can’t make it. “I have to find it.”
“No way… you’re not trying to make me do that, are you?”
“Find that sapphire dragon. “The request isn’t over yet.”
“Well, that’s right.”
“Can I take the scales of this black dragon? “I want to bring it to that mother.”
Just leave the 115 gold.
These words couldn’t come out of my mouth.
This was because a deep sense of depression remained on Yulgeum’s expression.
“take it. “I won’t lose anything.”
“It’s stolen money anyway.”
“That’s true too.”
“But you can’t just take it. “I’ll give you this instead.”
Yulgeum suddenly raised his hand across the dimension and took it out.
Before she knew it, a longsword wrapped in blue darkness was in her hand.
“It’s a sword.”
“Didn’t you need a blue set?”
“that’s right. But somehow this smells familiar.”
“I guess so. “Because it’s an item from the demon world.”
“that’s right! “It smells like a green-horned rhino and that cow calf.”
“It’s a sword made from the bones of Cheonggakwu. “It’s such a treasured sword that it’s hard to find a mate in the human world.”
Deus scratched his head as he handed over the sword.
It felt a little strange. In any case, it was a weapon made using the body of a demon.
This must be how Yulgeum feels when he sees the dragon’s weapon.
Yulgeum returned to Hwangokgyeong through the door again.
Deus sat cross-legged on the sofa and looked at her back.
Humans use dragons and demons to make weapons.
With that weapon, he fights against demons and protects the human world.
The demons carry out a large-scale invasion once every 100 years to take over human land.
The dragons weren’t getting involved anywhere.
When will this one-time play end?
“You’re sitting there talking like a god.”
Deus spat out and leaned back on the sofa.
What is this sticky weight pressing down on my chest?
“The cleanup was finally finished today.”
Deus, who was sitting on the sofa, tilted his head at Alex’s report.
“what?”
“A weapons store. “There’s nothing else to it, is there?”
“Oh, that.”
“This is your master’s first store, aren’t you being too indifferent?”
“butler.”
“Yes, my lord.”
“Do you still not know my feelings?”
“I do not know.”
“I want to make money, not run a store.”
” ah!”
Alex hit his palm with his fist.
“I gained great insight.”
“Still, I have to go. “What about Zeke?”
“I’m at the store today.”
“Have you quit the noodle restaurant?”
“They say they do it in the evening after the stores close.”
“As the name suggests, it’s a two-job job.”
“Yes.”
“Why do you need so much money? “Aren’t they both younger brothers?”
“I have some debt, and more than anything, I am sending my two younger siblings to a private warrior elementary school and a warrior kindergarten.”
“What is that?”
“As the name suggests, it is an educational institution to train warriors.”
“Are there enough warriors to create a school?”
“If we count the people with one or two drops of blood, there would be several hundred of them in this area.”
“It’s the era of great warriors.”
“You have to be vigilant. “Humans are that desperate.”
“It has nothing to do with me anymore. “Because I quit.”
“So why did you quit?”
“I told you.”
“You haven’t done it yet.”
“Did you?”
“yes!”
“Then let’s keep it a secret.”
“Where is that?”
“Here.”
Deus stood up.
“Then let’s go.”
“Ugh. “I understand, my lord.”
“Oh, did I tell you? “One of the dragon scales was sold to Yulgeum.”
“You didn’t talk about it.”
“I sold it. “I received that in return.” I saw something like a stick sticking out from under the sofa.
Alex bent down and picked it up, and it turned out to be a sword.
“It’s a sword made from the horn of a blue horn rhino
. “I think it’s worth the 300 gold.”
“Are you fine?”
“There is no damage.”
“Thanks to you, I have two scales left. “What should I make with it?”
“If you have a shield and a sword, the next step is armor, but the quantity is a bit lacking for that.”
“Then why not collect some more?”
“Do you plan to continue?”
“of course. “You can’t accept a request and then say you don’t know me.”
“I’m just saying this just in case…
“What?”
“The Demon King can make even a dragon pregnant. Go for it.”
“It’s not like that at all.”
“Of course… I know it’s a bit poor.”
“It’s not poor at all? Are you full of pride every morning? “I stand stiffly at the top and shout every morning that I’m alive here!”
Alex shed a few tears as he listened to his story.
“yes. “I understand, my lord.”
“Why is this guy
spreading rumors this morning?”
“For your information, the 665th Demon King, the Demon King’s father, produced a twenty-seven-year-old prince when the Demon King was your age.”
“Is this your first time seeing this?”
“Because the magic dukes lined up and engaged in a bloody battle to the death. “The only one who survived was the Demon King.”
“…Are they all the kids who studied in the same classroom as me when I was young?”
“They were four demon king candidates.”
“They say I am the only legitimate successor to the Demon King.”
“I pushed it,
so that’s from my perspective.”
“I’ll just pretend I didn’t listen.”
Deus left for the store one step ahead, and Alex followed behind him, bowing his head.
The Deus Store had an arch-shaped door between the wide open space in the front and the store in the back.
The vacant lot was mainly used to set up carriages.
In the corner, there was a large stone sculpture indicating where the dragon had crashed, and in front of it
was a street stall run by Zeke.
After taking a quick look outside, Deus headed straight inside.
The interior was perfectly organized. It was a luxurious store with marble gently reflecting light.
The weapons on display were of the highest quality, so there were several groups of customers from early on.
There was still only one clerk, Zeke, but perhaps because he had so much experience working part-time, he was able to handle two teams of customers skillfully by himself.
When Deus appeared, Zeke
rushed over and greeted him.
“Are you out?”
“Yeah, they opened today?”
“yes. “The products are good, and there is a lot of praise from the surrounding merchants.”
“Of course it would be good.”
Deus looked around the store.
To begin with, I had no interest in business or anything like that. I just needed a reason to live in the human world.
“If you sell a lot, you’ll get a bonus, so work hard.”
“Yes Deus!”
Alex then guided Deus to the back of the store.
There was a square-shaped hallway centered around the small main house yard, and there was a house surrounding the garden.
“What is this doghouse thing?”
“This is Deus-sama’s house, but…
“Why?”
“Are you planning on staying at the hotel?”
« O ” Hmm.
“Do you commute here?”
“Is there a problem?”
“Are you going to pay more than 300 gold a year in rent? 300 gold is several times the amount of money it took to open this store.”
“Is it expensive?”
“Yes, very much.”
“But not this house.”
“If you don’t like it, make money. “If you sell all the items in the store warehouse now, you can earn about 1,000 gold.”
“Then sell it quickly.”
“Do you think that will work out the way you want? “This isn’t the capital of Poms, so it takes a very long time to sell 1,000 gold worth of armor
.”
“Just because I have something doesn’t mean it will sell.”
“Do you know that now?”
“But he’s a butler.”
“Yes, my lord.”
“You’re so picky today.”
“That can’t be right.”
“What’s going on?”
“doesn’t exist.”
“I think there is.”
“no.”
“Well then, should I decide to live here? Actually, it doesn’t matter where.”
He was a person who slept well even in the back of the wagon.
Basically, I liked flashy things, but I wasn’t particularly averse to plain things.
“By the way, butler.”
“Yes, my lord.”
“Is there a God?”
“yes?”
“I mean God. “Does that really exist?”
“What do you mean by that all of a sudden? Have you started to think philosophically about the existence of God?”
“It seems like the devil doesn’t really care even if you beat him up.”
“That’s right.”
“What if it was God who created this world?”
“Yes, it is.”
“That’s why demons live under the ground without a single ray of sunlight.”
Sunlight barely penetrated along the path of the deep valley, through the caverns that had collapsed into the volcano’s crater.
There were also demons who sat dazed under the rare sunlight, longing for a sun they had never seen before.
-Let’s destroy the kingdom and slaughter humans to take control of the land.
It was a common sense and dream that demons should have.
“I guess the position of the Demon King is no big deal. “I see that you don’t pay any attention to me walking around like this.”
“It’s an odd question, but…
“What’?”
“Did you quit being a demon lord to get God’s attention?”
“Is that possible?”
“There is definitely a God. “I saw it.”
“Well, you are really old.”
“Please express that you have lived a long time.”
“I will decide what words I use.” Deus flopped down on a swing chair placed in a corner of the garden.
I leaned against the slowly rocking backrest and looked up at Alex.
“Was it God who created us?”
