53. Street vendor of devils, angels, and warriors
(3)
“Prepare to leave. “You can sleep anywhere outside the castle.”
“All right.”
The carriage left the city under the cover of night.
In the driver’s seat of the carriage, Zeke smiled without even realizing it.
It was because it reminded me of my childhood.
At that time, Scatul leaned his clasped hands on the backrest and said something.
“What on earth does this mean? “When are you going to catch Nezar?”
Zeke had similar feelings.
However, I disagreed with Scatul on one thing.
Deus’ actions are not meaningless. I just can’t read it yet.
Meanwhile, it was ten full days later that Migo woke up.
He swallowed three pills that Alex brought, saying that he was on his way to becoming a demon lord, and immediately passed out.
Numerous memories came and disappeared.
Some were recent memories and some were from the past, an unknown era.
My strength increased and I realized new abilities.
When she opened her eyes again, she saw that she had become something completely different from human.
“My lord! “Have you opened your eyes?”
Vaginal construction worker Bina bowed her head to Migo.
“Jil construction.”
“I salute you. “It appears that you have absorbed all of the Demon King’s power.”
“I see. “My whole body is overflowing with energy.”
“The three powers that my lord has obtained are the demon soul, the demon spirit, and the passage to the demon world.”
“This… is the strength my father gave me.”
Bina could not easily open her mouth.
Deus Demiurge 666 years old was a name that was close to taboo in the demon world.
“Why didn’t you tell me that?”
“Mahon is a power that is passed down from generation to generation
. I didn’t think it was necessary to talk about it…
“You’re already lying to me.”
“Master!”
“The reason I agreed to become the Demon King was not because I wanted power. It’s not that he coveted the power of the devil. I only accepted it because Nezar threatened me with destroying the demon world. “It’s because I don’t want to hear that the demon world disappeared because my father was incompetent.”
Bina’s head sank as she heard Migo’s story.
It was my first time hearing this story.
The dukes of the demon world didn’t even have time to think about what Migo was. I only accepted it because the demon world, which was on the verge of collapse, needed a central point.
“It seems you hated my father.”
“It’s not like that, my lord.”
“You’re lying again.”
“No, my lord. Please do not misunderstand. However, it is true that I thought he was not suitable to be the Demon King.”
Migo didn’t say anything to Bina’s words.
“What happened to the war?”
“We drove the humans out of the gates of the demon world. As ordered by my lord, I stand there and am not taking a single step outside.”
“Good job. Now, the demon world does not have the strength to fight a war. The priority is to hunt down the mugwort monsters with soldiers borrowed from Nezar and rebuild the border. “What is the status of the enclave?”
The Enclave was a type of barrier erected along the border of the Demon World.
It was a magic barrier to block mugwort poison and monsters, but
part of it was destroyed when Io erupted and has remained neglected to this day.
“It is currently recovering at a rapid pace. “It will be back to its perfect state in a few years.”
“Well done.”
All the knowledge he needed to have as a demon king was engraved in his soul.
As soon as Migo woke up, he worked hard to solve the many problems in the demon world.
Complex matters had to be resolved by Duke Chil anyway. After the seven dukes decided through a meeting,
they only received the devil’s approval.
“Now is the time to build strength. Do not make hasty provocations. And show Nezar the courtesy of a king. “We must not forget the grace we received from him.”
“Yes, my lord.”
Bina was slightly disappointed at the last words.
But I soon agreed. What power does she have, having become king thanks to Nezar?
He was just a young king who had just ascended to the throne.
There was no trust from the people or support from powerful warlords.
It was natural to decide to be loyal to Nezar, who had given him power.
Bina bowed her head and stepped out of the king’s room.
Butler Croche took his place and bowed to Migo.
“You are wise, and Nezar will be satisfied and will provide more support to the demon world.”
“Be sure to say so. “The demon world will also do its best to do what your master wants.”
“My master is a young lady.” Migo nodded expressionlessly, looking at Crouch who was making a fuss.
“I have high expectations for your loyalty.” Migo raised his eyes forward.
Beyond the large window of the Demon King’s bedroom, a huge volcano spewing out red light could be seen in the distance.
I was already lonely.
Mother Regin, Uncle Yulgeum, and even Lexia.
I missed the family I was born with and spent my entire life with.
I missed my father and Uncle Zeke.
However, I cut off that thought and once again engraved the scenery of the demon world in my mind.
I hope we can protect hundreds of millions of these poor lives.
The name of her heart is lovingkindness.
In the history of the 666th century, she was the first demon king to embrace mercy.
“Is it really possible to eat soup made with just boiled bones?”
Deus tilted his head and looked down at the large, bubbling cauldron.
“You should also add meat. Since this is close to Laguna
Lake, many fishermen come back from work early in the morning. “If you sell noodles in hot soup, it will sell well.”
“Is it delicious?”
“When have you seen me make bad food?”
“That’s right.”
It was late at night, but Zeke stayed by the fire without even thinking about it.
“But since you’re really this relaxed, is it okay if I just go shopping?”
“I already earned 50 gold.”
“It’s mostly because they took money from local gangsters
.”
“Well, if you say you’ll give me money, there’s no reason to refuse.”
“If we continue like this, we will be mistaken for a group of thieves rather than a street food stall.”
“He’s not a righteous enemy, he’s a hero.”
Zeke laughed.
“A hero who takes on local gangsters. “I feel like I’m back to subcontracting.”
“Aren’t you officially still B-class?”
“Oh, the license is like that. “The SIGNI incident occurred before I could renew my contract, so I ran away.”
Zeke silently stood in front of the fire, skimming off the oil and foam.
“You’re doing this boring thing.”
“I am reciting the spell to make it delicious.”
“Then, wouldn’t it be possible to make it quickly with magic?”
“There is magic to make food, but the magic food has no taste. “It’s just enough to satisfy my hunger.”
“Why is that so?”
“I guess the person who made it didn’t really care about the taste. Or maybe you just wanted to stop
an addiction or something .”
“If you think about it, if you create magic like that, restaurants all over the world will go out of business. Restaurant owners will come out with picket signs and surround the Wizard’s Tower. “Forbid delicious magic.”
“That seems plausible too.”
Zeke, who was spending time in front of the fire, glanced back at Deus, who had been silent for a while.
“What are you thinking?”
“This and that.”
“Signi… I guess Deus is nice.”
“Arthur, Arthur. “If you were a proper older brother, you wouldn’t be pushing your younger sister into the same pit as me.”
“I agree.”
“what? “I feel bad after hearing it.”
“Which one are you?”
“Which one is which?”
“Do you like Yulgeum?”
” I?”
” yes.”
“The damn woman?”
“yes.”
“It was a little funny? I will promote you from my subordinate 1 to clown 1. But
do you like this kind of talk?”
“Oh, I never thought so.
“I like it. Then, shall we make it more fun? “Why did you just send Lexia away?”
“Are you Lexia?”
“okay. “I came all the way there looking for you.”
“I didn’t hear anything like that.”
“Do we really have to talk about it?”
“Senior Lexia was chosen as the highest-ranking saint and was supporting Regin.”
“yes.”
“Why is my story mentioned there?”
“Why are you still alone? And look at my reaction when I meet you.”
“Adeus, you made a mistake. Deus, do you like this kind of talk?”
“No, not really.”
“So I don’t know.”
“It’s strangely persuasive. So stop saying this nonsense.”
“Then what were you thinking?”
“Hmm… Signy and Migo.”
“Look. “I just
asked because I thought it was like that.”
“So the content was wrong. “It’s not a story about who likes someone, but a grand story about balance in the world.”
“It’s also a story about her daughter and the woman who gave her life.”
“Don’t bring the story back to the beginning and push your sister into this abyss. “Signi, that baby loves Migo so much that if I hadn’t left her alone, I would have already erased the memory of giving birth.”
“That
might have been best.”
“Is that so?”
“That’s right.”
Time passed again.
White broth began to rise from the bones.
The smell was still not that great, but it was much more appetizing than before.
“I am a demon.”
“Yes.”
“I’m confident in slaughter and destruction, but I’m a bit weak in things like that between family members.”
“You didn’t hesitate to do anything for the demons.”
“There is such a thing as camaraderie and loyalty. Wow, I kind of know what it is. But Family Ae
said, “It looks like you want to do something for Migo.”
“Maybe it’s a sense of duty or something.”
Zeke laughed out loud.
“Why are you laughing.”
“I think I would already be happy if I were Migo.”
” what?”
“Because even while fighting for world peace and balance, they think of us.”
“What is world peace and balance? “I’m boiling soup.”
With a long yawn, Yulgeum approached the fire.
“Are you still doing it?”
“yes. Would you like some boiled pork?”
“Yeah, good, good.”
“Do you wake up and eat meat?”
“I woke up so I can eat meat. “No matter how much I do, I don’t eat while I’m sleeping.”
“Thank God for making you not gain weight.”
“I am always grateful. Also, why are you a god? “He is our god.”
While they were bickering, the day dawned.
Zeke took the finished soup to the port and started selling it.
I put a ladleful of hot soup into the shredded boiled pork and rolled it up with noodles.
When I sprinkled green onions on top, it became a perfect dish.
The fishermen who returned from casting their nets in the cold early morning wind were skeptical about seeing the dish for the first time, but soon they were shouting for another bowl.
Zeke’s stall
seemed to be a huge success in this town as well.
I am increasingly uncertain about when world peace will be maintained.
Then one day.
Rumors spread throughout the kingdom of Jose Continent that the war was over.
Deus, who was interacting with Yulgeum at a teahouse in the castle in the middle of the day, secretly listened to the chatter next to him.
It is said that the brave crusaders who attacked the demon world slaughtered countless demons and even left the enemy’s demon castle right before their eyes.
After that, he was exhausted from fighting the giants who had joined hands with the devils and ended up retreating, but he defeated the enemy army at the entrance to the demon world.
After that, the demons were afraid of the warriors and fled back to their own land, and the entrance to the demon world regained peace.
