94 – Demon Lord (3)

“Shouldn’t we listen to the opinions of the parties first?”

Anything is good.

I was curious about why the demon king wanted to take me away, but I think I knew it.

It was the same then.

Just like the demon king who saved me when the sword master killed me.

The demon king showed me a favorable appearance and deliberately induced me to follow him.

But now it’s different.

I was fooled by the favor and had no reason to sincerely follow her.

“I have no intention of going.”

He stands upright in front of her and speaks.

Unlike before, the minimum courtesy was equipped.

In a situation where there is not only the King of Death, but also other demons and executives who are loyal to the Demon King, if you treat them recklessly, you might incur their wrath.

The demon king just smiled.

The hero intervened in my argument.

“If you don’t like the person in question, is there any reason to take them?”

“Hmm, is that so?”

The Demon King is in trouble.

Wondering that he hasn’t bought my favor yet, he wonders if there’s a way to get him.

“If you want anything, I’ll give it to you.”

“There is no such thing.”

“…I see.”

The demon king was just tapping his fingers on the table.

The more that happened, the more the atmosphere in the field became heavy.

I don’t understand why she is so stubborn.

I need to know why I am doing that.

Because it was her way of recruiting talent like this.

But even if that’s the case, they don’t try to recruit them while writing endless blank checks.

No matter how coveted talent is, there is no reason to pour all available resources into it.

The Demon King will probably try to recruit me as far as possible.

If it reaches its limit, it will change immediately.

Talents that cannot be recruited will soon become enemies.

So I had no choice but to worry.

Do you openly become the devil’s enemy?

Or do you pretend to join properly and hit the back of the head.

Whatever you choose, there will be a mix of pros and cons.

First of all, the current situation cannot lead to catastrophe.

“But I’ll consider it.”

“Oh, Argal?”

Asher, who had been looking at him with the expectation that he would reject it mercilessly, shook his eyes.

At the ambiguous answer, the demon king nodded and stood up.

Following the movement of the demon king, the demons and executives followed her like a shadow.

As soon as the heavy atmosphere was relieved, Fran rushed at me.

“Ah, Argal, what were you thinking with that answer?!”

“I said it because I had an idea.”

Don’t worry, there’s nothing to go over to the devil anyway.

After stepping down from the peace conference, I moved my steps in a subtly focused gaze.

signed the peace treaty.

Peace will be restored to mankind, and oaths will be fulfilled under the champion’s representative.

The crown prince was drunk and did not play a proper role, and his downfall will be certain.

However, it wasn’t a goal achieved under my initiative, but a result obtained with the help of the Demon King, so I wasn’t in a good mood.

Because I played in the hands of the demon king again this time.

Breaking free from that grip would be the first step to killing her.

And the Sword Master, who had been sitting quietly, stood up.

Even though the crown prince showed such rudeness, he kept watching and quietly said this.

“To promote friendship between countries, there will be a party tomorrow. Anyone who wants to participate is welcome.”

What he cares about is the safety of the crown prince, and his attitude is that he will not care whether he is drunk or what he does.

Even the sword master left the place, and the atmosphere improved a lot.

Although the crown prince caused a disaster, the peace treaty was concluded without difficulty, and a hopeful future can be drawn.

“At last, peace has come.”

“Isn’t there a war between the Demon King and the Hero for the first time?”

A great war will come that will dispel such expectations.

It wouldn’t hurt to enjoy some peace for a while.

We each gathered together.

Because we have to discuss something more important.

Aye Fran even created a barrier to block out the sound.

Because there is a possibility that the Demon King’s army will listen in some way.

Only then could I release my thoughts.

“Perhaps the demon lord knows that I am an immortal and that I am a wizard who can use black magic.”

“Can you tell me all that?”

It will be possible.

How many eyes and ears have been planted on the continent?

In addition, during the time of the Black Pagoda, he was openly supported by the King of Death.

Considering that period, the demon lord would know my characteristics and condition.

“So they’ll try to recruit me.”

Everyone had a serious expression.

Even if I just imagined being recruited by the demon lord, it would be a terrible sight.

“I can’t… Argal…”

It was the time when I was removing Asher, who was clinging to me like a leech and drying me.

“Is Argal worth that much?”

Raeli asked such a question.

Here Fran is outrageous.

“Then the undead don’t have that value?”

“Well, even if Amman is an immortal, he’s very weak.”

…not weak.

Still, shouldn’t I consider my magical and black magic abilities?

And the warrior stared at me intently.

It looks like he’s worried that my heart might have been shaken by the devil.

The possibility of my betrayal was nothing to worry about.

“Hero, there’s no need to worry about that. I have no intention of joining the demon lord.”

“Then what was the answer from earlier?”

“Even if that’s the case, if you can use the demon lord’s intentions, it’s better to use them.”

If the Demon King wants to give me a favor, it was right for me to use that favor.

It’s not bad to take everything you get and then stab yourself in the back.

Hearing that opinion, the swordsman laughed in vain.

“That wouldn’t be bad either. So, are you planning to follow the Demon King?”

“I don’t know about that. Going to the castle of demons…”

It means that you can see the friendly executives who were with you before returning there.

You can also get materials that can be found in the castle.

Also, I was able to get powerful items that can only be obtained from the Devil Castle.

Considering that, going is not a bad option.

It’s just that I don’t know what tricks the demon king will use.

In the midst of each one’s troubles, Asher took out something and said.

“By the way, tomorrow… I’m having a party. What should I wear?”

In her hand was a gorgeous dress.

…When did you prepare that?

“Come and pick it up.”

“…Where are those things abandoned?”

“I don’t know?”

So, isn’t it that you’ve been picking up other people’s things carelessly?

Anyway, Asher, who lifted the dress brightly without thinking, asked that.

“What do you think is pretty?”

“Didn’t you just bring one?”

“It was piled up like a mountain.”

While I was seriously contemplating whether I might have raised a thief, the Sword Master explained the reason in detail.

“It was a set plan to have a party after the peace treaty was concluded. So, I prepared the clothes to wear at the party in advance, and that’s why they were handed out.”

“Are you ready for that in advance?”

“That’s natural.”

So it doesn’t look like it was stolen.

Asher only took what he gave away.

Anyway, the swordsman added a few more things.

“Clothes, I brought better ones, so you should wear them, and it would be right to prepare for tomorrow’s party first.”

I nodded.

First of all, according to his opinion, it would be correct to decide after seeing what kind of action the demon king will take.

And so the day passed.

The first harmony party between humans and demons was held.

**

In fact, it was a harmony party, and the fact that demons and humans would gather together and enjoy a party was no different from the planned future.

Moreover, even if they were ordinary people without strong powers and authority, all demons were high-ranking or high-ranking demons, compared to those who had high status and joined the delegation.

As much as that, the demons did not get along with those weaker than themselves, and it was natural that they naturally developed a relationship with each other after delegating the human race who came here due to their status or power.

Even if they ate luxurious food and alcohol, the party continued in such an ambiguous atmosphere that they did not enter their mouths properly.

In the meantime, I couldn’t adapt to the very colorful surroundings.

“Try this too, it’s really good!”

“This is it. It’s a local specialty that originated in the southeast…”

Raelina, who always brought food, and Fran, who explained the food on her own, were both dressed in dazzlingly gorgeous clothes.

Even so, even Asher, who was following me behind me, was like that, so I couldn’t get a sense of it.

Whatever the mood, the girls were enjoying the delicacies from the party.

Having experienced so many different things, this kind of situation couldn’t make their stomachs hurt.

While the party is in full swing.

Finally, the demon king moved.

She smiled calmly, and the demon king, dressed in a sophisticated outfit that matched her beauty, approached me and said,

“How about it, did you change your mind?”

“I….”

It was definitely troubling.

whether to accept her favor or not.

I thought about it several times, but eventually my heart went to one side.

“I will refuse.”

“Hoo.”

The Demon King has a strange smile.

Whether this judgment is correct, I do not know.

But, no matter how sincere, to hold her hand again.

The vengeance to kill the Demon King still burned.

“Will it really work?”

“Are you going to break the balance, the demon lord?”

The demon king didn’t go his way, so he tried to threaten me.

However, because of the threat, she was tied to the balance she had hung.

Breaking the rules is also suicidal.

A contract was made based on trust in Libra, and if that was broken, mankind would naturally not trust the peace treaty.

And the demon king promised not to do anything hostile within this space.

But she shook her head.

“Is it really so?”

“What does that mean?”

“I mean I won’t do anything hostile, I’m not saying I’m going to hurt you right now.”

Kwaaang-!!

“It means to save you.”

There was a loud bang coming from the door.

What echoed there was the light of great holy power.

Helena appeared fully armed.

“Traitor of humanity.”

The saintess’s fingers were directed towards me.

I sighed.

No matter what, you played in the hands of the demon king.

I look at her with a disgusted gaze.

I don’t know what method I used, but the saintess induced me to single out me as a sinner.

And the method was soon revealed in Helena’s mouth.

“The Crown Prince played in the hands of a cruel black magician! The Prince, who maintained a serious attitude, was controlled by dark magic and made him fall into alcohol and pleasure. We have secured the evidence himself!”

It seems that the Crown Prince’s mental control was decorated as if I had done it through the King of Death.

Hearing her cry, I asked the Demon King.

“If I had accepted, such an incident would not have happened.”

“You know well.”

The demon king’s smile was still calm.

It’s the arrogant smile of someone who has everything going according to plan.

“So you should have followed me.”

Following the saintess’ cry, the paladin slowly surrounded me.

No matter how candidate they were, the saintess’ cry was enough to move everyone inside the party.
