Why I Quit Being the Demon King

Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 237

54. Decided to establish a kingdom (3)

His name was Clavetz van Hollis Pindle.

He was a 4th generation warrior.

Unbeknownst to Zeke and Deus, Clavetz was the older cousin of Harilde Pan Spindle, who was now suing Regin.

Klavets was now unconscious, foaming at the mouth.

Going back to the events, Deus

came to Spindle Castle here to engage in diplomacy, taking Siegman with him.

Extremely politely, he handed the knight captain a document requesting reinforcements in front of the inner castle gate.

Of course, the knight commander crumpled the document, threw it on the ground, and spat on it.

After pointing out the rudeness and arguing a few words, Deus threw the knight captain into the moat.

The man who got his head stuck in the mud was also the captain of the guards at Spindle Castle.

Knights rushed out of the castle and Deus briefly used a show of force, one of the means of diplomacy

.

He threw all the knights into the moat and entered the castle without hesitation.

And it was just five minutes ago that the crumpled and saliva-covered peace document was rubbed against the lord’s face.

Deus slapped Clavetz.

The teeth flew out and hit the wall with a bang.

“Wake up.”

Clavetz opened his eyes in surprise and stretched out his hand to pull out the sword from his waist.

Deus grabbed him by the collar and swung him again.

“Don’t take out the sword. “Let’s do diplomacy.”

“What crazy talk! Reveal your identity! You will be wanted in the name of the Erion Federation. Even the Holy Emperor will not forgive you!”

“If I had intended to go to war, I would have killed all 1,228 knights I met on the way from the castle gate to here. “What I want to do is diplomacy.”

Zeke smiled bitterly. “

There was a special article in the newspaper called Great Diplomats .

“I won’t let you suffer losses unilaterally, so why don’t you listen to the story first?”

“Don’t lie! “You are assassins sent by the Hollybitch family, right?”

Deus was surprised at those words.

“Huh?’’

“They don’t think they can win in court, so they’re probably trying to silence me by killing me and my cousin! Don’t look down on Holly Spindle! Even if I die, I will ensure that Regin is destroyed!”

Deus let go of his grip on him.

Leaving the Lord lying on the ground, he grabbed Zeke’s arm and went to a corner.

“What does that bastard say?”

“…I think the woman named H that appeared in the newspaper is from this family?”

“Didn’t you know?”

“I didn’t even know the name. No, it was Deus who brought me to this castle in the first place. On the contrary, didn’t Deus know that?”

“Ah um hmm ah let’s just assume I already knew

. Because they can do you a favor.”

Meanwhile, Clavetz tried to sneak out of the lord’s room, but there was no way he could escape Deus’s senses.

When I held out my hand, his body was pulled in.

Deus placed him again in the position of lord.

“Now then, go back to the beginning. Sign the reinforcement document. bantling.”

“Is there any way to do it? These rioters! Okay, kill me! Kill me and take away this lord’s crown. The Erion

Federation will never ignore you!”

“There is nothing to kill. So please read this reinforcement document. “Why are you resisting with all your might when we talk about diplomacy?”

“What kind of crazy thing is this about assassins?”

“No! Let’s make peace with my kingdom! “Listen when I talk!”

“A kingdom?”

“My kingdom.”

“…Which kingdom do you mean? “I have never heard of a king like you.”

“Do you know the kings of all the countries in the world?”

“That’s not it. That’s not it… Clavetz looked at Deus again. Now that I think about it, the clothes and appearance were definitely believable even if they were from some royal family.

The man standing next to me was also decorated as a knight of a nation, and I felt a sense of overflowing majesty.

When the opponent hesitated, Deus lost his temper.

“Why are you getting angry before even reading the diplomatic document? What is this guy called the head of the knights who crumples up the reinforcement documents, throws them on the ground, tramples them and spits on them?

Does your country teach that a knight commander should behave like that when dealing with a foreign king?”

Clavetz’s expression crumpled.

“Is that true?”

“If you don’t believe me, take the knight captain and ask him. “I crumpled up the reinforcement document without even reading it properly.”

“But isn’t Ganghwa a document demanding surrender? “How can our proud principality of Holly Spindle submit to another country?”

“It’s not an unconditional surrender, but if conditions are given, you have to read them first. Times are changing. “Dragons have decided to join our kingdom.”

“By dragons, do you mean those dragons?”

“That’s right. Form an alliance with the dragons… Oh, I can’t talk any more. Anyway, read the reinforcement document.”

“Oh, I understand.”

Clavetz picked up the crumpled paper that had fallen to the ground with a shocked look on his face.

It was extremely dirty, from spit and footprints to dog dirt.

I wiped it on the hem of my cloak and unfolded the paper.

“What are the conditions that make you so confident?”

Klavets said and read the paper.

— If you do as I tell you, I will give you your life.

His expression distorted.

“this person• !”

Deus laughs.

“Then shall we try diplomacy? After dying to me number 1, you

become a puppet of the necromancer I have. Number 2: Become my subordinate and actively help me with my work. Take your pick. If you choose number 2, your family will be able to continue to maintain this territory.”

“Nonsense bullshit!” Deus closed his left eye.

His right eye glowed red.

A matter owned by the Demon King’s family.

Clavetz suddenly showed a blank expression due to that force.

His anger subsided quickly and he

asked calmly.

“What are the benefits to our family if we choose number 2?”

“This city will serve as a gateway to my kingdom. “A lot of people will come, so that alone will be a huge benefit.”

“That’s a good thing. “What should I do?”

“We will build a warp gate in the castle. “Make sure to invest all of the territory’s resources until it is completed.”

“That’s a great idea. “I will follow your will.”

Deus smiled and looked back at Zeke.

“How do you feel? “My diplomatic skills.”

“…Would you like me to give you my back? “I don’t think I can use it that way.”

“Changing your body is a one-time use magic. You can’t turn it back. Otherwise, just separate and then combine?”

“ah!”

Zeke felt amazing again.

Deus exchanged eyes with himself. He gave up one thing to save his life.

What he got instead

was Zeke’s ordinary eyes.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” “Then, shall we sign the agreement and begin the next task?”

“What happens next?”

“huh. “What happens next?”

Zeke silently followed Deus.

“Jik.”

” yes.”

“There are two types of people in the world.”

“For example,

there are those who read ahead and invest, and those who follow others and speculate. “Investment is always successful, and speculation is always bound to fail.”

“Why are you suddenly saying that?”

“How much have you saved so far?”

“It’s a little over 60 gold.”

“It’s not enough. “It’s not enough, but… it’ll work out somehow.”

“What are you trying to do?”

“I’m going to buy some land. Look over there. “Isn’t there a sharp rocky hill inside the castle walls?”

Where Deus pointed, there was a rocky hill just as he had said.

But it seemed completely useless. The slope was steep, and at the top it was just a lump of rock on which not a single blade of grass could grow.

How could it be that it is just lying there in the castle without any development at all?

When the castle was first built, it may have been an object of religious worship, but now it seems to have no such value.

It was just a rock. A huge rock blocking the road and

occupying the ground.

“Would you like to buy that?”

“okay.”

“It seems useless…

“There is still a long way to go. Read ahead and invest. “That’s the principle by which I make money.”

He said it as if it were some kind of great rejection, but if you look at it, he was just penniless.

All of the 60 gold he had now was just the result of Zeke’s natural cooking talent and the labor he put in.

“No matter how you look at it, I don’t think that rock will make money,

do you?”

“It will work out. “There will be a huge warp gate up there.”

“to? “That’s not investment… Isn’t that unfair insider trading?”

“Insider trading? what is that?”

“The person handling the information is making personal profit.”

“That’s an investment.”

“You shouldn’t do it.”

“Is it in the law?”

“yes.”

“are you okay. “Because I am not human.”

“If you put it that way in the first place, how is it different from robbery

?”

“Zeke.”

” yes.”

“Have you forgotten how you earned this money in the first place?”

“Ah… the thugs took the money.”

“I am an extra-legal being.”

“Have we already abandoned the smart investment theory?”

“O” Hmm.

Deus met a certain woman in the castle along the way. He was the owner of the land where the rock was. After offering a fairly large sum of 60 gold, the rich man immediately

handed over the land lease to Deus.

Because the land belonged to the king, he could not own it. The right of ownership was in fact a similar concept to ownership.

Of course, this land will later be sold back to the kingdom for tens of times more money.

Deus busily worked on many things.

That evening, I met Yulgeum and another person at a luxury restaurant in the castle.

The name of the woman with long black hair was Genet.

He is an elder dragon who once led a four-member organization within the dragon clan called the Four Seasons Association.

At one point, she grew in power to the point where even Yulgeum, Jingeumyong, was considered a nuisance.

In the end, the Sagyehoe was fooled by the rumor that Jingeumyong was dead and built a kingdom in the land of fairies, but was suppressed by Deus.

Afterwards, half of the members of the Sagyehoe died and the rest were imprisoned.

Gene was the de facto leader of the Four Worlds

, but because he was quickly suppressed by Deus, he did not play a significant role in the subsequent events.

In fact, the mystery of that incident has not yet been completely resolved.

It was unclear whether Sagyehoe planned it on its own or was instigated by someone.

The poison used at that time was obtained from the demon world, and its distribution route was also questionable.

The problem is that none of those involved in the incident could remember key parts.

Yulgeum directly examined the suspects’ mental world, but part of their memories had indeed been deleted.

The conclusion reached by the Lords of Gyeonggi is that it is highly likely that they themselves cast a spell to erase memories in case of failure.

Anyway, because of that incident, Junet has been in prison ever since.

“It’s been a while.”

The moment she saw Deus, her body trembled.

“I tried not to scare you, but it looks like this body hasn’t forgotten you yet.”

“It’s a radical confession of love. “Now that I have a child, it’s hard to play with fire like I did back then.”

Jaune frowned.

“What is that…

Yulgeum ended the conversation.

“I’m done with this bullshit. As I said before, I think I’ll give you a chance.”
