Chapter 161

As everyone knows, this is my second visit to Helium. But last time, I went to adjudicate the ultra-high theft and didn’t have time to go back and look around.

So, if possible, we plan to take this opportunity to wander around Helium. Cecil also said that you should come to the palace in the evening, so you have to go on time.

The only regret is that I can’t accompany Adelia. She asked Gartz, but she refused, saying she was an unplanned person.

Adelaide said that it was difficult to accept because she was always a foreigner. So she told Adelia about this, and she replied cheerfully that she was only sad, but she was expecting it enough.

Instead, he told him to take care of himself and encouraged him to come and play without hesitation because he would be training under his father until he returned. I was also able to feel a little relieved because she liked her, who saw her off with her courageous expression.

So, using Gartz’s teleport, he went through immigration and entered Helium. After that, he was able to use Garz’s teleport to reach the Hellium capital, ‘Pan Deum’.

Pandeum means ‘cradle’ in the old language. If we look at the origins of demons, it is an inappropriate religious name.

In addition to the royal palace, the villa of Cecily, who solved the burglary, also exists in Pandeum, and as it is the capital, it is a place frequented by people.

“Have you changed a lot in the past few months?”

“What do you mean?”

“Not only the demons, but also other races have increased a lot.”

But even though it was different, it was confirmed that it was too different. First of all, one-third of the passers-by on the streets are not demons, but of a different race.

Among them, most of them are human, dwarves, beasts, and surprisingly, very few, even elves. When the exhibition was over, there were only demons, but now there are a mixture of different races.

Before the publication of Xenon’s biography, it is said that it is a place where demons live, and it is in stark contrast to the fact that other races did not want to take even a single step.

“It’s natural. Thanks to the benefactor, the awareness of the demons has improved day by day, and at the time of the exhibition, it was announced that he had a great ability as an artist.”

“You mean the Matrix troupe? What are they doing these days?”

“It’s always the same. I’m doing a play using magic while traveling around the world. By the way, he said that he would only open plays related to Xenon’s life at exhibitions.”

“You don’t have to.”

“Totally, I agree.”

For some reason, Gartz nodded and agreed fiercely. At the time of the exhibition, I was also impressed with the collaboration between the Matrix and Lilus Band, but as a demon, he must be terrified.

There is nothing confirmed when the exhibition will be held, but it is implicitly assumed that it will be held once a year. Moreover, since I have already stated the place of birth as Michelle’s estate, there is a high possibility that it will be held in the same place.

As I looked around the streets of Pandeum, which seemed to be brighter than before, I suddenly remembered something and asked Gartz.

“But what about Cecily’s sister? Can you tell me when you’re coming?”

“Princess Cecily is currently waiting in the Royal Palace. I have been commanded to escort you while the benefactor has fully explored Helium.”

“Can we go before dinner? I have to visit the temple once.”

“Then I will tell the princess in advance.”

Gartz slowly closed his eyes to see if he was sending the news to Cecily via telepathy. And after a while he opened his eyes again and spoke to me.

“The princess said she would know. Instead, the princess said she would come and pick it up when she came to the palace.”

“Thank you. Then it doesn’t matter if I go anywhere until then, right?”

“Yes. If there is food you want to eat or items you want to buy, I will pay all of them.”

“There’s no need for that…”

“You didn’t bring any money, did you?”

“… …”

You’re needlessly sharp. As I let out a mischievous laugh, Gartz nodded his head as if yes. He eventually decided to borrow money from him.

Anyway, there is still time until evening, so I started exploring Pandem in earnest. If there is anything worth referring to in Zeno’s biography, I will refer to it.

Pedestrians are the first to cross the street. As I said earlier, among the passers-by, there are not only demons but also various races. In particular, most of them are humans.

So far, this is just an ordinary life, but the thing to notice is that there are many people who look like couples.

Crossing arms, having a conversation or showing affection. The combination of demons and heterogeneous races seemed to have a lot of lovers.

‘I heard that there are more heterogeneous couples than before…’

As I said before, as the romance between Jin and Lily was re-examined, the popularity of the demons also skyrocketed. Rather than a time bomb that never knows when it will explode, it is a race that suppresses internal evil and is sincere.

And if that sincerity turns toward love, it will turn into innocence. As a result, the demons came to be recognized by people as representatives of chastity.

Moreover, like elves, most demons are handsome and have strong personal power. Until now, it’s because of the demon frame, objectively speaking, it’s a strange race to be unpopular.

‘Besides, one body…’

All of the men were tall and had wide shoulders, and the women’s chest and pelvis were particularly prominent.

These aren’t because I’m a pervert, but these are the characteristics that I can confirm whenever I look at demons. Even Gartz, who looks skinny right now, is slightly taller than me and has wide shoulders.

Maybe this has something to do with the black mana that only demons use? Even the elves had different body types, but all demons had superior physical conditions.

I looked at the demons one by one with curious eyes, but couldn’t contain my curiosity, I asked Gartz. It’s a little embarrassing, but I think it will be resolved if I have questions about it.

“Mr. Gartz. This may be a rather embarrassing question, can I ask?”

“It doesn’t matter. What are you curious about?”

“That… Are all demons originally in good shape? Judging from the looks of it, even ordinary people seem to have excellent bodies…”

“Ah. It has a lot to do with our history and life.”

“History?”

It was embarrassing at first, but when I said that it had to do with history, all those feelings disappeared. Only the spirit of inquiry remains.

As if to organize his thoughts for a moment, Gartz looked at me slowly, his eyes widened, and then opened his mouth. Of course, he couldn’t confirm that his mouth was open because he was covered with a mask.

“As benefactors know, our beginning was very difficult. We were helping each other, but it was like a time bomb that never went out. It’s a generation that was directly influenced by the devil.”

“right.”

“For this reason, in the early days when there was nothing, only strong people had to survive. Uncertainty about when they might become demons. Serious restraints from other races. Barren land. The last remaining monsters in the land where they escaped. Only men with strong military power survived, and women only survived those who inherited the seeds of such a man and gave birth to children. There were many people who died, but there were far more second-generation demons being born.”

Even if it is not a demon, mankind produced many descendants in the ancient agricultural society. In addition, the custom can still be seen frequently in rural areas, where agriculture is the main focus, rather than in cities.

But here I have a question. Cecily said that the odds of getting pregnant by demons were extremely low, but it seems that’s not the case after listening to Gartz’s explanation.

What happened here? I asked him out of curiosity.

“From what I’ve heard, didn’t the demons say that the chances of getting pregnant are very low? Besides, they say it’s even harder because of the evil cycle.”

“That’s why I was able to have many children. At that time, I must have been a savage with nothing. Also, since it was the first generation, the body was close to that of a human and the musical cycle was also very short. Because it is.”

“Well, it makes sense.”

Of course, I immediately understood. In any case, the skeleton itself seems to have been linked to the principle of survival of the fittest.

In terms of the genes themselves, it could be said that they were excellent, but the desperation contained within them could never be ignored. The superior body of the demons can be said to be a wound that has been passed down from the past to the present.

“Now that we have survived and our civilization has gradually established itself, the time has come to suppress the evil within. Have you ever heard from Princess Cecily about how to suppress the evil within?”

“I’ve heard that meditation usually gives you self-control.”

“That’s true, but in order to meditate deeply, you have to give your body stimulation or pain. But since you can’t harm yourself, you have to overwork your body.”

“In what way?”

“It’s simple. You’ve probably ripped your leg into a slit to increase flexibility. It’s commonly referred to as stretching.”

“I’ve been doing it consistently.”

“We’re taking a step much higher than that. After supporting the balance of the body with one leg, there are some that stretch the remaining leg high in the sky in a single figure, and some that pull one leg behind the head. There are many other postures. There is.”

Are you talking about yoga? In fact, yoga is very effective for mental training.

Usually, if you intentionally make your body uncomfortable and meditate, it is easy to lose concentration because of the pain. However, if you endure the pain and continue to meditate, your mental power will naturally become stronger.

If the mental power is strong, the endurance will also increase, so it would be natural for the demon to develop.

‘This is the reason I have no choice but to improve my body.’.

Rather than empty words, the demons literally developed yoga to ‘live’. In addition to this, the genes that have been passed down from ancient times to the survival of the fittest have been combined.

In a way, it may be natural to have a particularly good body. I thanked Gartz, admiring the origins of the newly discovered Asmodians.

“Thank you. Thanks to you, I learned something new.”

“This is nothing. I’m more than happy that it was helpful.”

“Then the demons must be very flexible? It’s like meditating while doing high-level stretching.”

“Yes. If you want, I can guide you to the benefactor. It is very helpful for mana circulation.”

“I’ll ask Cecily-sister one more time later.”

I’ll have to put this in Xenon’s biography too. From now on, the spotlight must be on Jinon as well as Xenon.

If it is revealed that yoga is the reason for the excellent mental training of the demons, I wonder if it will spread all over the world. Or maybe it’s already spreading.

After that, I started walking down the street, escorted by Gartz. Because of this guy’s red hair, people around him looked at him, but he neatly ignored it.

“By the way, Mr. Gartz, you said that Helium isn’t very good at night, right? There are demons coming out because they can’t stand the musical cycle.”

“Recently, medicines have been invented and things have improved. Even if you crawle outside because of the evil spirit, Mora’s followers tend to quickly take you to the temple. However, it can be dangerous due to the specific nature of the night, so please do not wander around as much as possible.”

“Hmm… Mora’s temple doesn’t open around 6 o’clock?”

The Temple of Luminus in the Minerva Empire opens at 6 am and closes at 6 pm. Of course, in case of emergency, they are active for 24 hours, but they cannot pray.

So, on the other hand, Mora’s temple is thinking that it will not operate from 6 pm. Unlike Luminus, Mora was a god of darkness.

“No. Mora’s temple is always open, at least in Helium. Asmodians can be eaten by their inner evil anytime, anywhere. Besides, like an elf, it’s easy even if you don’t sleep for a few days.”

“okay.”

“Ah. Come to think of it, it seems that Mora is looking for a benefactor, isn’t it?”

“…Yeah.”

I remember the tomboy Goddess calling out to me to find me. Unlike Luminous, who has a gentle and friendly personality, Mora is usually playful and a little distracted.

It is obviously the god of darkness, but it is Mora who has a much brighter personality than the god of light.

“How was Helium then?”

“It was a little confusing, but I thought it was because it was Mora-nim, so I moved on. Mora-sama usually joked around with his followers. Still, he did inform the media.”

“How the hell was Mora-sama normally…”

“Just what… yes. He’s merciful anyway.”

Seeing that even Gartz is trembling, it seems that he has a very unusual personality. For a moment, I wanted to postpone the visit to the temple until later, but I put it in because Mora might be upset.

He is respected as the god of darkness and rest, so he will not harm me. Although there is a high chance of making a strange prank.

‘But don’t dark elves also serve Mora-sama?’

Then, just as I was thinking whether the Dark Elves were looking for me, a certain smell crept into my nose. The smell of food that makes you salivate while savoring.

As I turned my head, I saw a street stall that was often seen on the street. You might think of it as a street stall in Helium, but street food is everywhere in the world.

I was drawn to the smell and moved slowly. It seems to be popular because there is a waiting line.

And…

“…this, what is this?”

As soon as I found out the identity of the savory food, I couldn’t help but be astonished. I expected meat to be the stinky thing, but it was a completely different food.

insect. yes. It is an insect. Not even a simple insect.

Would you believe it when I said that it was more than a mouse and bigger than a rabbit? Occasionally you will find insects the size of a large dog floating around the Internet.

But now, in front of me, those insects, even cooked like lobster, are selling their flesh to people.

I don’t know what kind it is, but if you see that it has a hard outer carapace, it’s probably the same type as a stag beetle or a long-lived beetle.

The savory smell was appetizing, but the visual was so horrendous that my appetite dropped sharply.

“Ah. This is Lakkirk. It’s one of the most popular street food items in Helium.”

“…Eating this? An insect the size of a rabbit?”

“Why can’t you eat it? After all, shrimp and lobsters in the sea are also worms.”

It’s ridiculous that it’s strangely understandable.

“…does this have anything to do with history?”

“Of course. There was nothing to eat in the barren land, so we had to eat anything. Not only insects, but also helium, there are various dishes. To be honest, you can eat anything with legs.”

Not any Chinese. It’s not like eating bats and getting a terrible virus.

It’s not very understandable though. In Korea, too, there was not much to eat after 6.25, so didn’t they make ‘Honey Honey Porridge’ using leftover containers that the Americans threw away?

Helium would be similar. And since they value hygiene more than other countries, they won’t eat horrendous food like China does.

The insect dishes I see now are just disgusting, but I didn’t feel dirty. Rather, the flesh itself had a light pink color and looked delicious.

“Even if it looks like that, it tastes good, so try it once. I’ll pay for it.”

“…Is it delicious?”

“If it wasn’t tasty, it wouldn’t have been famous in the first place.”

I’m not sure, but it wouldn’t hurt to give it a try. I hesitated, then stood in a long line and waited for my turn.

It’s a different experience, and it’s a bonus to comfort yourself by saying that you’ll be able to know what kind of race the demons are.

Eventually, the long line passed in an instant, and my turn came at last. Naturally, the owner was a demon, and he looked at my red hair and said with a cheerful smile.

“Welcome, red-haired gentleman! Which part would you like?”

“Is there a different type for each part?”

“Of course. Just as some crabs in the sea want legs and some want guts, so does Rapkirk. It has a head, a body and legs.”

“…Give me the body part.”

I feel like my appetite is diminishing. Hi, should I eat this?

Either way, the store owner took off the flesh from the torso and the upper part with a fluent hand gesture and delivered it to me. It may be hot, so wrapping it in paper is a bonus.

To be honest, it looked delicious, as the steam was rising up and down and it had a light pink color. Unless it came from the body of an insect. I looked at Rapkirk while Gartz paid the price for him.

‘…let’s just think of it as a chrysalis.’

The pupa also looks ugly on the outside, but it has a savory flavor. Maybe Rabkert would be similar.

He closed his eyes tightly and took a bite.

“…Five?”

Is it delicious? It’s not a lie, it’s really delicious. A sweet scent like incense lingers in your mouth, and you can feel the umami taste even if you don’t know what spices are used.

I don’t usually choose food, but even if that’s excluded, it’s definitely a style that suits my taste.

“Is it delicious?”

“Didn’t I say it was delicious? You shouldn’t judge by appearance alone.”

“Hahaha. I’m proud to say it’s delicious. Would you like to try the head part too?”

“Oh, that’s a bit.”

Still, it can’t be I was muttering about Rapkirk, and a question came to mind, and I asked Gartz.

“Is there anything else besides this?”

“There are tempura.”

“… …”

“In addition to insects, using monsters…”

“That’s Okay.”

This is the cultural difference.
