Why I Quit Being the Demon King

Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 105

24. A customer comes from afar (4)

Zeke breathed a sigh of relief.

The two younger brothers were now at Akoma Castle.

Zeke’s true intention was to want his younger siblings to be safer than others.

Segetsu opened his mouth again.

“The knights of that city… were reprimanded for abandoning Castle Hwangcheong

. Not only that, an order was given to return to my original duty station.”

Zeke’s expression suddenly became distorted.

“Such nonsense! The area around Seonghwangcheong must be hell right now! “It’s this dangerous even here, hundreds of kilometers away!”

“The road from Acoma to here was also full of monsters.”

Zeke held Segetsu’s hand.

“It must have been a really difficult journey. But please suffer with me one more time.”

“ah! Would you like to come with me?”

“Of course! “They are my comrades.”

Segetsu wiped away tears again.

“ah! I’m so glad. It’s a good thing I came here. We… are falsely accused of being people who abandoned the Holy Emperor and are not receiving any help. No, it’s okay without help. After defeating the monster, you can return to Neuekan and try even harder than before. But the knights…• The knights who came down the mountain to fight monsters for us

should not lose their lives in vain like that.”

“Of course you are saying that. Segetsu, please come with me to where the group is. “I will tell Deus so that we can go to Neuekan today.”

Zeke said hello to the two Zodiac Knights and headed straight to where Deus was.

Cadenza and Oridon stayed there for a while and then started to chase after Zeke.

It was a story you couldn’t miss.

One more person added along the way. By chance, Saint Lexia, who had been visiting Zeke, unexpectedly joined him.

“Well, I know what you’re talking about. Won’t the lord make a fuss again? “He said, ‘What are you going to do about me abandoning you?’

Deus was now sitting in a rocking chair.

As long as there was a rack, it was not difficult to obtain wood.

The idea of making a comfortable chair in the middle of the refugee camp to sit on is difficult.

Luckily, Deus

accomplished that difficult task.

“I don’t think there is much danger around here right now. Elks can be hunted sufficiently even with the power of knights. “It may not be easy, but it’s not impossible to survive.”

“You’re really not interested in politics or anything like that.”

“A hero only goes to save someone he needs to save.”

“Well, straight things usually break, but if the material is that hard, it might be able to withstand it. Scatul!”

“Yes, master.”

“Pack your bags. “It’s time to start.”

“yes.”

Lexia blocked Zeke’s path.

“wait for a sec! You want to go right now? Rather than that, Neuekahn. “It’s the center of the monster’s lair!”

“that’s right. So that’s the problem. You sent the Holy Knights who guarded the outskirts of Seonghwangcheong to Noiekan! “The punishment for leaving work is too harsh.”

Although he couldn’t bring himself to say it out loud, what Zeke wanted to say was simple.

With their skills, they are annihilated.

“It already happened a long time ago. Already…

already…

Zeke cut off Lexia’s stuttering words.

“Senior, we are warriors. It might already be too late. But I guess there’s still hope left. It’s a waste of time to argue with my senior right now.7

Zeke bowed his head to Lexia and headed straight to where the group’s carriage was parked.

Deus put Vice Mayor Segetsu on the carriage. Aside from Yulgeum

, he was the first person to have the honor of riding

inside the carriage .

The carriage left and the two groups, Diac Knight and Lexia, remained.

Lexia tried several times to say she would follow.

However, now that everyone in the Holyoke family was working to rebuild Joryx Castle, it was not possible for him to escape alone.

All I could do was shout ‘Watch out!’ at Zeke’s back.

Meanwhile, the two Zodiac Knights looked into each other’s eyes.

“That’s right…

Oridon scratched his head.

“Cadenza, my friend.”

“Why are you speaking like that again?”

“Haha, I think you might be thinking the same thing as me. I guess it’s not time to stay here like this. “I have to go back to Seonghwangcheong.”

“That’s right.”

“I wanted to protect Zeke. I’m upset, but that Deus guy is right. I don’t know much about politics. A warrior escapes his status. It has survived until now only because of that edict. “He is the kind of person who never knows when he will fall into the eyes of some

noble and be executed.”

“Perhaps it was because of that personality that the family fell to the provincial level. “It is not common for a Pure Blood to receive a Dao rank.”

“Instead, we should do politics. “Because we might become colleagues.”

“It’s not something unclear like what might happen. We must not doubt the work given by God. There has not been a fourth generation using auras in the past 666 centuries. “If you can’t feel the breath of God, you don’t deserve to be a paladin.”

“I can’t refute that.”

“If we can’t reorganize around Zeke, it would be better to disband the Zodiac Knights.”

Oridon whistled.

“It’s extreme.”

“Otherwise, it is a dream that cannot be achieved.”

“It’s hot.”

“Because I am a warrior too.”

They also left and Lexia was left there alone.

“Zeke••••••

Something heavy touched my heart.

I had no idea that the boy’s position would have grown so much.

I clenched my fists, trying to stop myself from becoming weak.

Now, the only person who can protect Joryx Castle is himself.

To protect the place where Zeke will return and to enhance the family’s honor.

It would be nice to be able to say that a carriage ran across Guando, but it was impossible. The disaster brought about by the volcano

engulfed more than

30% of the country .

Volcanic ash obscured the sky, drying out crops, and mugwort monsters rampaged everywhere, preying on humans.

Just a month ago, there was an express carriage between cities running along Guando.

But now, security has become so messed up that you have to hire mercenaries to get through.

The road itself was destroyed in many places, so carriages often had to run through the mud.

Deus shouted with wide eyes.

“Follow that thing!”

“What? What?”

When Yulgeum asked in surprise, Deus said.

“Whether the knights of Seonghwangcheong are wiped out or not, we have to go catch them.”

Vice Mayor Segetsu, who was also riding in the carriage, frowned.

How did hero Zeke end up with someone like that?

According to the story, it was this man named Deus who became the sponsor of Zeke, who was unable to stand out due to his poverty in Joryx Castle… From what

I watched for two days, he

did not seem to be respectable at all.

“It’s a golden toad!”

Deus raised his voice again.

“Sadimus is on the move!”

“Phew, I understand.”

“You have to kill him instantly with one hit. “Because my temper is worse.”

“I’m not the kind of person who can be beaten by a toad.”

“He has a dirty temper, so he melts his body with his own poison. “All the gold on your skin will melt and become unusable.”

Only then did Sadimus understand what his master was saying.

Sighing again, he flew up into the air and started chasing the golden toad.

“Damn it, I can’t believe I lost all my money and had to chase after such a small amount of money because of that stupid lord of Zorigs Castle.”

Segetsu, who was worse off, opened his mouth politely.

“Is money that important?”

“Then what’s important?”

“There are many more valuable things in the world. Justice and friendship. “Like faith and pride

.”

“You’ve never starved, have you?”

“ That’s••••••

“Well, I’ve never starved either. “Zeek has starved a lot.”

“I have heard many times that Prince Zeke had a poor childhood. Haven’t you proven yourself that there is something more valuable than money? “Even though he was poor, he never stopped working hard, so he has the skills he has today and is even called the savior of Neuekan.”

“Say stupid things with your wife in bed

.”

“yes?”

“It’s not that big because I have money. Do you know how much the weapon and armor cost? Plus, they gave me a swordsmanship teacher.”

“ That••••••

“If it weren’t for me, what would Zeke be doing by now? Do you think he suddenly awakened and became a hero as Zoryx Castle was falling into ruin? “I’m glad I didn’t get crushed to death by the falling pile of stones.”

“Your words are harsh!”

“You’re the one who’s serious. You were born into a wealthy family,

studied hard, and rose to the position of deputy mayor, right? You want to emphasize that you worked hard to get to a high position. But the real reason you are successful is because you were born into a wealthy family. There are people with talent like you all over the world. I bet all I have on the fact that among the children who died of malnutrition before their first birthday at Neuekahn, there were probably a few more talented than you. Are you going to bet too?”

Segetsu closed his mouth.

Deus looked at him and

added one more word.

“Don’t easily say it’s someone else’s business. It sounded like an important value. Justice? It’s the definition of those who have it. friendship? If I don’t have money, I’ll leave. Confidence and pride go hand in hand. “Is the pride of a beggar who begs for food valuable?”

Yulgeum intervened.

“Enough. “You haven’t really worked hard and achieved anything to the point where you have to preach to others, right?”

“So you don’t pretend to be well-off, saying what’s wrong with poverty?”

“Is that how you show off?”

Segetsu lowered his head.

“I don’t know if that’s right. “If you think about it, I’m just voicing the definitions I learned in school.”

Deus said while looking at him.

“What would be the point of setting up a special department in the Seonghwangcheong Office to say that warrior education is important? If you make a few subjects and follow them well, you’ll become a D-level hero, and if you can’t follow them, you’ll be a level soldier? If you spend money, you will be good at anything. If you teach them swordsmanship and magic earlier than others, they will stand out in their class as soon as they enter elementary school

. Once you get good at it, unless you’re really stupid, you’ll run along the rails. Is that outstanding talent? That’s a lot of money. Moreover, they even put in all kinds of strange subjects to raise poor but rich children? Things like history, theology, and theory classes. “What does being good at those things have to do with your ability as a warrior?”

“I heard that it was to cultivate comprehensive knowledge and culture.”

“It sounds like culture. If you really want to raise a hero properly,

you have to go backwards. First, we need to figure out which areas the hero is lacking in and which areas he excels at, so we can cover up his shortcomings and develop his strengths. Isn’t being a warrior a priority and education to develop that ability? Give us a framework and tell us to fit into it? “What’s so great about being a hero? Do you want me to take pictures of you according to the mold?”

“That’s poignant.”

“Besides, who made that frame and for what purpose? Zeke said so. Even if you graduate from warrior high school, you are not good at magic or swordsmanship. I heard you need to get a separate tutor for that?

Why are you running a school if you can’t even teach swordsmanship and magic? “Do you spend thousands of gold coins a year to make a joke out of all mankind?”
