067. Be careful

Below the guild leader, the leadership that actually moves the Heroes’ Guild is divided into three main groups.

A council of five elders.

The branch manager who manages the branches outside the guild.

And Argan, which determines the direction of the entire guild.

Becoming such an Argan meant that Hillen Cargill was finally one step closer to the power he had longed for.

It wasn’t just the power within the guild. This is because Argan has many powerful people who want help from the guild.

‘It means you can make a bigger board.’

But it wasn’t the only benefit.

Argan is made up of 11 people in total to commemorate the 11 heroes who killed the Demon King who first descended on Arain in the past.

If the number was always constant, the appointment of a new argan meant that someone would be stripped of the position.

Whatever the cause, he wouldn’t be able to turn a good eye on Hillen Cargill, who took his place.

and.

‘Bair pornian.’

Who it was, Hillen Cargill had already figured it out.

Until a while ago, he was an Argan, but now he was a common guild executive #1.

‘I heard it’s the line of Elder Carlo Schweiger.’

There was a period of four days from entering the headquarters to today’s non-gong peddling. Hillen learned about the headquarters’ ecosystem in his own way through all those who approached him either with goodwill or with hostility.

The factions are divided by elders.

Is that so? Elder Carlo Schweiger, who was sitting in the front, also had a poor gaze.

On the other hand, Mathius Allman was full of goodwill.

‘Did you say we growl at each other?’

How could he use this, Hillen’s head began to spin taut.

“sorry.”

The Princess of Jespine bowed her head.

It’s a lot dirtier and more shabby than it was before.

I was really looking forward to it, but I hope it will come out like this.

“How did you persuade me?”

“Can I just say it here?”

As he nodded, Ernap, who was watching from behind, opened his mouth.

“I said that it would be better to ask for forgiveness than to be imprisoned and withered day by day. The Empire seems to have given up on Kaede-sama, so why not find a way to live?”

“and?”

“I was serving the Demon Lord and said that ‘trading’ could be beneficial.”

“deal?”

“I took my case as an example.”

“Right. understood.”

Somehow, unlike words, his eyes were still alive.

turned his gaze. When their eyes met, Kaede flinched.

“I know that we don’t trust each other, so it’s better to give and receive than to deceive. tell me What do you want?”

“I want to leave the tower.”

“Reject.”

“I want to get out of jail.”

“and?”

“Like Ernya, I want you to be as free as before trying to escape.”

“In return, what can I give you?”

“There is one more thing.”

“Tell me.”

“I heard you made a deal.”

“It is always possible if you bring me conditions that I am satisfied with. That is out of the question.”

“Yes. then···.”

After hesitating for a moment, Kaede opened her mouth.

“I heard that you want the Four Heavenly Kings. I will become a Dark Knight.”

“Do you want…? I?”

“·················ogue.”

“·················ogue.”

“···why?”

Ernya, who met their eyes, smiled awkwardly and turned his head.

“…well, that’s good.”

“I will wear a mask like Ernya and work for the Demon King for 5 years.”

“You think you won’t be saved for at least five years.”

“·················ogue.”

stomach was obvious.

It wasn’t bad though.

Berge did not think that the location of the tower would never be discovered for five years.

No matter how hard you try, you can’t always hide it. If everything went as planned, there wouldn’t have been that many Demon Kings who died in Alain.

He was sure because humans would try to find them at all costs. 5 years. There are enough warriors to say that it must be said.

If Kaede Jespine pays for the bread just once. That’s enough.

In the first place, Berge gave her practically nothing.

However, it could not be accepted blindly without any restrictions. Unlike Ernian, Kaede has already caused trouble once. Berge was not generous enough to pass it on.

especially to the warriors.

“There is such a thing as an Armani marble. Eat it.”

“What happens when you eat it?”

“It sits in people’s heads and makes them unbelievable. Eat and live as a Dark Knight for 5 years, or go back to prison.”

“I am a warrior.”

“It’s different from a Warlock or Black Knight contract. As long as you don’t resist when you eat the marbles, there’s no problem.”

Kaede was taken aback by the unexpected choice. Did you think it would be easy to eat a demon king on his back?

At her hesitation, Berge threw a carrot.

“If you spend five years safely, remove the marble and release it.”

“Is that true?”

“I swear by the standard revered by the Great Demon Lord and all Demon Lords.”

“Ephesians and standard…”

Kaede was also a hero. The demon lords knew very well how the demons thought of the demon king.

god. No, maybe more.

More than her loyalty to the emperor she was loyal to and the chivalry she revered.

“Yes, I will.”

Kaede bowed her head.

“With this, two thousand kings out of the four heavenly kings…”

– No matter how you think about it, the play is strange.

Ernya clenched her fist tightly with a small hand.

* * *

After accepting Kaede and feeding him with Armani’s marbles, the first order that Berger gave was education.

Kaede was different from Ernyan.

Although there is a time limit of 5 years, it is safe to say that he ate Armani’s beads and became completely his limb.

And Berge did not want weak limbs. When a princess or princess is presented, the hero is embarrassed. And the embarrassment exerts a greater effect the stronger the power of the princess or princess.

Because of this, Berge intended to make Kaede stronger.

“Gordon. You teach the princess.”

“…are you talking about me? A human princess?”

“Did Jetson naturally get to the top of the Golden Moon? I heard that none of your balls are there. But that doesn’t mean you’re in tower management. Logger manages the first floor, the second and third floors are empty, and the fourth floor is managed by Ernyan. Who do you think is the most useless person in this tower?”

“···I’ll do it. Shouldn’t it be done?”

Gordon grumbled.

Kaede, who had been listening quietly, was cautiously furious.

“I think training alone is enough.”

His pride as an imperial knight had risen.

“okay?”

But he wouldn’t have known that it would hit Gordon’s pride in the opposite way.

“I learned swordsmanship from the best knights in the Empire. Now that only mastery is left, I don’t think there’s any need to learn a new swordsmanship.”

“Demon Lord, can I start training now?”

“do whatever you want.”

Gordon went down to the first floor, took a sword, and threw it at Kaede.

“10 minutes.”

fingers outstretched

“If you can stay away from me for ten minutes, I won’t bother teaching you.”

“…don’t you pick up your sword?”

“Do I need to raise a sword to fight someone like you?”

“Please don’t insult me.”

“It’s only after I meet my conditions. If you succeed, I will get down on my knees and apologize to you.”

“I’ll take one more. If you can hold out for 10 minutes, remove the marble and release it right now.”

that was the wedge Kaede immediately drew his sword.

A golden aura rose from the sword. Gordon’s gaze reached that sharpness.

“indeed. You have to be pretty confident.”

“Bring your sword.”

“Not required.”

Kaede’s brow twitched.

“You are the one who said not to use a sword. Don’t make excuses for being against the chivalry.”

“Anyway, there are no chivalrics among demons.”

He snapped his fingers.

“Don’t give up your advance.”

“It’s what you did. Do not regret.”

Kaede took a breath and ran. A golden line was drawn.

space is split But Gordon was no longer there.

‘back!’

Kaede quickly turned around, leaving a deep mark.

Tseung-

My body shook. The fragments of the broken Auror were scattered.

‘left!’

Even before the shock completely dissipated, I felt a chill. As I forced myself to turn, my muscles squealed. But thanks to you, I stopped it again.

“It feels pretty good.”

Gordon’s whisper was heard.

‘fast.’

and strong

It was not an exaggeration to say that there was no need to raise a sword. Even though the hand and the sword collided, there was a cracking sound. The hand holding the sword trembled from the heavy impact.

‘I have raised the dimensional power…!’

There is an effect. But there was an overwhelming difference between the two that easily offset it all.

boo-

For a brief moment, a black fist hit her stomach. blood gushed out.

Still, he did not miss the sword. He clenched his teeth and stabbed Gordon in the side.

wickedness-

‘Stuck!’

A very small sensation was left on the fingertips. And that’s it.

perok-

It was her last memory.

* * *

Ernyl went down to the fourth floor with Kaede, who had fainted.

When there were only the two of us left, Berge asked.

“How do you feel?”

“The feeling is worthwhile. The swordsmanship is a bit stiff, but the basics are there. Even human swordsmanship is not so lacking.”

“Anyway, there are dozens of demon lords who have died here. It is never a place to be ignored. Teach me well.”

“What level are you talking about?”

“Do your best.”

“Is that okay? After all, he is a warrior. I will turn to the enemy later…”

“Who said you were enemies?”

“Didn’t you make a promise of five years? I make an oath to the Demon Lord and the standard… ha ha… huh?”

Gordon tilted his head.

I remembered what Berger had done at the graduation ceremony of the Demon King Military Academy.

Will he keep his oath to the demon king and standard?

“…you didn’t want to do that from the beginning?

“I am the Demon King. There’s no way I can’t just let it go once it’s in my hands.”

A demon king who keeps his promises to humans.

There’s no way there’s such a thing.

“Now you are like a Demon King!”

“What’s wrong with me?”

“To ridicule and exploit humans.”

“That’s not my specialty.”

To be precise, it has become a specialty since the regression.

“Ah, I’m late to say this because of the princess, but it is said that Hillen Cargill has become the Argan of the Heroes’ Guild. The title is named after the first hero, and he is said to be a top-level executive of the guild.”

“It’s Argan. The investment is worth it.”

“According to the words of the Demon King, he will become a dagger that he flies into the human world.”

A demon king who makes the head of the Heroes’ Guild his subordinate.

Even though Gordon was an adjutant serving the Demon King, he couldn’t believe it easily.

It was so unusual.

“And there was a call from the Demon Lord Reina Sordein.”

“What?”

The Demon King of the Cold Cold maintained a close relationship with Berge, but if there was no work, it was not necessary to communicate.

When you get a call, it means that something has exploded.

“Well, that’s a bit odd.”

“Don’t be stingy.”

“I said we would meet and talk in person. When I asked again what to say, he said, ‘I found the man who killed Drakson.’”

“…you found the culprit who killed Drakson?”

“Yes.”

“It’s Hillen Cargill.”

“If I was going to talk like that, I wouldn’t even have contacted the Demon Lord.”

“then···.”

“Have you not heard of it?”

“To Reina Sordain? I’d rather not know if it’s Jason. That’s too much of a guess.”

Reina Sordain does not appear at all in the snowfields of the northern part of the Jespine Empire. They do not have to be involved in human affairs and do not decorate anything.

The chance that she knew the details of Ormus’ distant affairs was infinitely close to zero.

“then···.”

“You’ll find out when you go.”

“I am worried about something.”

“Everything has been unsettling since I came to Araine.”

Berge rose from the throne.

* * *

The cold tower was still cold.

Reina greeted Berge with a scarlet candy in her mouth.

No, should I say that I welcomed this?

“Watch out for Jason.”

“···········?”

The first words that came out through the cold, sunken pupils were a little strange.
