28. A new start ⑴
Nezar, Deus, and Zeke.
Only three people advanced to Joryx Castle.
It is only slightly noticeable that Nezar is 2 meters tall.
On the outside, they were just three ordinary humans.
In the meantime, many aspects of the castle were changed to suit the tastes of the giants.
The water in the moat turned into a thick swamp. Another wall was created by stacking rocks in front of the stone bridge that crosses the moat.
About 10 giants were guarding the castle there.
They made harsh noises as the three humans approached their castle.
A few impatient people ran out brandishing large clubs.
“The giant god is on the move.”
“Do you really have to call me that?” Nezar sighed briefly. He was once the world’s greatest brain.
In the kingdom he created, all humans just bowed their heads.
Just as they were about to climb the Tower of Babel and attain equal status as God, the seven children betrayed them.
To win the world’s greatest woman, Amitis.
How could he, after tens of thousands of years, have to listen to cheap comments like ‘We’re on the move’ and make a move!
But I couldn’t help it.
Since I can’t break the contract, I have no choice but to follow it now.
Someday for sure!
Desiring revenge, Nezar moved forward.
“Bloodlines of Adapa. Greet the owner. He has sailed far across the sea and has just set foot on land. Bow down to him as he is exhausted. “Have a grand banquet for this exhausted person!”
The giants who were running suddenly stopped in place.
Then he knelt down and bowed his head, as if he had spilled something.
Nezar accepted their bows and entered Jo Rix Castle.
That scene was like a miracle.
At least Zeke felt that way.
All the giants who made eye contact bowed deeply to Nezar.
I even exhaled cautiously until I received his command.
Nezar walked without hesitation to the northern part of the castle, where the central lord’s hall was located.
Thousands of giants lined the road and bowed.
Although he should have felt joy, Nezar instead felt gloomy.
The Adapas seemed to have completely degenerated. No, it was correct to just call them giants
.
It only looks like a human but is nothing more than a monster.
What value would it be to rule over tens of thousands or hundreds of millions of such foolish monsters?
We had to quickly build a laboratory. To return them back to intelligence.
Nezar opened the large door of the manor and entered.
Lord Joryx’s ornate chair was taken away and a large chair made of bone and stone took its place.
The Yeongjugwan had a ceiling height of 6 meters, so even giants could enter.
The chieftain of the giants who attacked Joryx Castle was also using this manor house as his room.
The moment he saw Nezar, he made a strange noise and bowed his head.
He got down from the throne and knelt down on one knee under Nezar.
Then he guided Nezar to the throne with a gesture as if to say, “Come up here.”
Nezar couldn’t help but laugh when he looked at the chair.
Do you want to sit on a prehistoric throne or something?
He gave all the credit to Deus.
“We have subdued all the giants of Zoryx Castle.”
Deus also saw him do it.
As Yulgeum said, owning him was like having great power.
I don’t know exactly how many giants there are, but at first glance, it would be a million.
If all the giants, divided into hundreds of clans and nesting in each valley of the Jose Spine Mountains, could be brought out to the plains, it would be a power that even the kingdom would not be afraid of.
“Give orders to Zeke.”
“Yes, Deus.”
Zeke said to Nezar.
“Please make the giants retreat north beyond Evil’s Wall. Until further orders, please do not cross Evil’s Wall and do not attack the human kingdom without reason.”
“It is enough to do it.”
Nezar bowed and answered. Immediately after that, he turned to the giants.
“All who serve Adapa. Fall back beyond Evil’s Wall. Tread no more on man’s land, nor attack man’s kingdom.”
The giants mumbled a few words, then got up from their seats and left the residence.
It didn’t take long for all the giants to leave Joryx Castle.
“Anyway, all the weapons were destroyed and there were only a few left.”
“So you’re going to do this?”
Zeke came forward to defend Deus in response to Yulgeum’s sharp answer.
“I think I’m fine. “Now there will be a lot more people in the castle, but there will be not enough food.”
“yes? So, quickly throw away the bricks.”
“Yes, Deus.”
Although the castle was recaptured, the situation did not change much.
The store was completely destroyed.
Half of the buildings in the fortress were completely destroyed, and what was left was torn apart by giants who used it as lodgings, making it unsuitable for people to live in.
Thanks to the high ceilings, the Yeongsa building that survived was almost the only building with its roof intact.
Lord Joryx no longer had any involvement with Zeke.
It was the fault of Deus’ prohibition.
Moreover, perhaps because of the joy of regaining his castle, he returned to his old, generous personality. Residents
mobilized in
large numbers to rebuild the castle .
And some left for nearby manors. It was to take care of abandoned farmland.
The castle was full of scars, but the people inside were already excited with hope.
Deus found a suitable wooden chair and sat down in the yard of his house.
Because it was a long bench, Yulgeum sat down with her buttocks next to him.
“But it’s surprising.”
” what?”
“You’re giving all the credit to Lord Joryx. “The lord prayed earnestly to God and made the giants leave.”
“Those who believe are idiots. “If it was going to be done through prayer, why do we need warriors?”
“A warrior is also a product of prayer. “When the first demon king dyed the human world with blood, humans prayed earnestly and were born as heroes.”
“Is that how it works?”
“huh. By the way, Zeke, you don’t have any achievements left, so it doesn’t matter?”
“doesn’t care. From the beginning, I had no intention of raising that guy
above B level. “It ended up like this because the number of annoying people increased.”
At that time, Scatul walked trotting in front of Deus.
“The sign is complete.”
“Put it over there.”
“Yes, master.”
Yulgeum saw the words written on the signboard erected by Scatul.
-Let’s eat anything delicious!
“Is Zeke the main chef?”
“huh? no. I need to hire him. “Zeek should go hunting with me.”
“Are you really trying to sell mugwort monster meat?”
“It was delicious? “They say it’s not toxic.”
“There are still some left.”
“I guess we can find out with your measuring device or something.”
“Yes, but.”
Yulgeum turned his gaze in that direction again.
Sadimus and Laque were also mobilized to make food stalls.
In the case of Lakhe, at least he had infinite talent in producing wood.
This sign was also completed by trimming the wood that Lakke made.
“Should I say it’s positive?”
“Me?”
“okay. “Not long ago, he was upset and said that all his money was lost.”
“You got that guy instead, right?” At the place where Deus beckoned, there was a 2 meter tall man laying bricks.
Nezar, the god of giants.
Hundreds of thousands of giants who occupied northern Gelon left at his single command.
“I don’t know if it’s good or bad.”
Deus laughed at Yulgeum’s words.
“Of course it’s a blessing. “Because I got something so expensive for free.”
“Again, be careful. “He is a human who once almost reached the world of God.”
“I’ve already heard that story 100 times.”
“I’m starting to like the world now.”
“You mean the era of chaos?”
« Q ha “o.
“That guy talks like he’s going to end the world again.”
“Maybe so. “Anything is difficult once you do it.”
Deus crossed his arms.
“You’re trying to hurt your pride a little.”
“What are you talking about?”
“It seems like the slave is valued higher than the Demon King as an opponent that threatens this world.”
Yulgeum laughed.
“Hehe, that’s what I heard. But it’s true.”
“Well, I quit the Demon Lord.”
“therefore. That one is more dangerous than the retired demon lord. Anyway, even if I’m not there,
you can’t take your eyes off that person.”
“I said I understood.”
Scatul came again.
“I think the construction will be completed by the owner’s opening date. “We also put up notices all over the castle saying they were recruiting cooks.”
“Okay, I’m doing well.”
“The problem is food ingredients.”
“I should go hunting.”
“Can I really sell something like that? No, will it sell?”
“It’s delicious.”
“Still, the image of food is… There are many people who are reluctant to eat unfamiliar food.”
“You won’t know until you sell it.”
“All right. Then, I will arrange for the wagon within today.”
“If possible, go big. “Because I want to catch that mammoth guy.”
“All right.”
As Skatul left, another group of people approached Deus.
They were Paladins Cadenza and Oridon, dressed in armor.
The two knights had participated in the expedition to reclaim Joryx Castle and were expecting a fierce battle, but they were still dumbfounded by the independence that came like a thief.
It seemed like he was probably looking for Zeke. As I was about to ask Deus where he had gone, I made eye contact with Zeke, who was carrying a brick on his back.
Cadenza spoke to Deus with a dissatisfied expression.
“Are you now treated like a mere worker?”
“I was originally a street worker. “You are just weaker than those workers.”
“Zeke is a treasure to humanity.”
“He is my employee.”
“Still don’t know which one is important?”
“I know. Of course, my work as a subordinate is much more important. If it was a treasure of mankind, shouldn’t we have cherished and cared for it a long time ago? “Why are you trying to take it away after you’ve achieved success?”
“that!”
Oridon tapped Cadenza on the shoulder.
“I didn’t come here to talk about that.”
Cadenza sighed briefly and said.
“I am planning to return to Seonghwangcheong.”
“Yeah, bye. “I won’t see you off.”
“I don’t need to see you off.”
“I’m not sending Zeke either.”
“I will have an audience with His Holiness and try to persuade him to appoint Zeke as a Zodiac Knight.”
“Are you going to force it even though the person involved doesn’t want it?”
” yes.”
“It’s so annoying. Why on earth do you want to put Zeke in Zodiac Knight
? It’s not even generation zero. “There is no war against the Demon Lord, so why do we need a knight of Zeke’s level?”
Deus suddenly said something that occurred to him.
“Or are you trying to start a war? By using Zeke’s power?”
Cadenza answered immediately.
“There are originally 12 Zodiac Knights. “We’re just trying to fill a vacancy.”
” is it?”
“That’s right.”
“Well then, let’s say so. Anyway, don’t do anything weird.
“If you really care about Zeke.”
Cadenza said this to Deus as if it wasn’t worth replying to.
“I’ll give you back what you said.”
They exchanged a few words with Zeke and left Zoryx Castle.
Deus looked back at Yulgeum and spat.
“What about those guys?”
“What’s wrong?”
“Isn’t that perfect? A candidate for those who will destroy the world.”
