139. Flow Around the Tower
Aman Katrache.
As the head of the Golden Moon, and the Black Knight of the Demon King, he is a fairly competent merchant.
Originally, he was a knight, but when the Auror Hall was destroyed, he had no choice but to start walking the path of a merchant, and fortunately he met his aptitude.
But what he was doing wasn’t just an uphill climb.
The task of procuring supplies for the Demon King, who can be said to be the enemy of mankind.
That was the top goal of the Golden Moon. Of course, even within the upper ranks, very few know that fact.
“…too many of these. There are a lot of rare materials, will you be able to get them all?”
He expressed displeasure, who was always confident in his work. The list of materials given by the elves who received the order of the demon king was too vast.
“Are you short on money?”
“I can’t say for sure.”
The 100,000 gold invested by the Demon King was quite popular due to the efforts of his father and affiliated merchants.
However, there was not much cash in itself to carry out various businesses, and since it was incorporated into the upper-level supply, executives had to pay attention as well.
In addition, the materials required by the Demon King were rare and expensive, and there were not one or two things that were expensive.
“If you buy all of these right now, the top will wobble.”
Where is that, the materials offered to the Demon King cannot be said openly where they were sold.
There are many objections to buying while walking through the fortune of the top, but if they say, ‘Yes, that’s right’, would they convince the executives to buy it and then say, ‘Yes, that’s right’?
Aman, who held almost full power on behalf of his senile, semi-retired father, was not the only one at the top.
“If only the money is paid properly, the executives will not have any problems with it, right?”
“That’s right, though.”
In the end, they do it to make money, and even if the goods disappear, merchants are willing to do so if there is a price to be paid.
That does not mean that the problem is not completely absent, but it cannot be denied that the upper part is solved.
“How about the magic cannon?”
“A magic cannon?”
“I think you have a rough idea of where the materials that enter the tower through the top are used.”
“of course.”
That dwarf on the first floor. He also experienced the numerous magic cannons he made.
“Maybe that magic cannon…?”
“The Demon King said he was willing to pay for the resource purchase price.”
“Five···!”
not bad. No, it was the best. The magic cannon was the essence of magic engineering that was two-fold along with the golem, and due to its destructive power, it was a strategic weapon desired by the military of all countries.
Still, there were many people who could not produce on their own, so there were plenty of places to sell.
“But if it’s a dwarf magic cannon, it won’t sit still in the Werft Kingdom.”
If we determine that the Dwarf’s items have been taken out, we will immediately begin an investigation and take action. That’s how dwarves deal with strategic supplies.
“Do not worry. The Demon King said that he would lower the level of the magic cannon a little. A fairly high level among human-made things. That would be just that.”
“Good then!”
“Then I will tell the Demon King as it is.”
The elf has disappeared.
Aman looked at her back as she moved away and pondered for a moment.
He responded excitedly to the word “Magic Cannon”, but there was no lie in his words.
‘If it’s a magic cannon, even the executives will be delighted.’
Shortly after becoming a Black Knight, Sangdan received an investment and started to deal with military supplies, and as the relationship between the Demon King and humans deteriorated, he was slowly seeing the light of day.
And the magic cannon was the pinnacle of such munitions.
but.
‘Selling the magic cannon away, that means the situation is urgent, right?’
As a merchant, he was sensitive to information. No, even if it was not a merchant, there was no one who did not know the current situation.
The Jespine Empire and the Hilderan Kingdom are grinding their teeth towards the Tower of Fire.
The location of the dead Daphner Philian and the tower finally revealed.
Anyone could have predicted that a heroic act would take place.
The Demon King probably made a decision to respond to it.
‘I don’t know what I’m trying to do, but for now, I have no choice but to faithfully follow it.’
As long as he made a contract with the Demon King, he couldn’t betray him.
Although he had a bad feeling about destroying the Auror Hall, he was more grateful for helping the collapsing Sang Sang and bringing the family back to life.
In such a situation, the Demon King, although unreasonable, opened his own pores and demanded something.
So he decided to just follow the rules.
Do your best to help the Demon King.
If the demon king dies, he completely forgets the demon king’s existence and lives as a normal human being.
‘By the way, it’s quite a headache to save them all…’
From figuring out where the necessary resources are, checking the distribution network, and convincing executives.
‘Executives can be persuaded.’
The Demon King has decided to send some magic cannons as samples soon, so using them would be relatively easy. This is because Magic Cannons are not incompetent enough to miss the opportunity to handle strategic materials.
‘I need to find the right person.’
Let’s travel all over the continent to get the things the Demon King asked for. There are also rare items, so I had to go to the auction house and sell the items myself.
In the meantime, I had to save money as much as possible.
Just then, a man came to mind.
“Who is out there?”
“Yes.”
“Go and get Jetson.”
“Yes.”
The one sent by the Demon King, one with an incredibly smooth mouth and one detail.
* * *
“Yeah, did you say that the Hero’s Guild rejected it?”
“Yes.”
While Berger was having the bizarre idea of making the tower move, Hillen Cargill left the guild headquarters and returned to Hilderan to speak with the king.
“What exactly were you talking about?”
“The guild said it would support the warriors. But never with pure intentions.”
“Is it because of the Daphner Philian?”
“Yes.”
In order to cover Daphner’s death, it was their intention to add a hand to the subjugation of the Demon King.
If it was the usual Hillen, I would have happily accepted it. He will share the ball with the guild, but he’s not a member of the guild anyway. Also, his fame had grown too large to be covered by a guild.
But the King of Hilderan didn’t want to be brave.
It was a rescue team that rescued an ambiguous princess, even though it was a raid.
‘Guilds will want a chess piece to fight for them. I have no heart to follow.’
‘I am also an Argan of the guild.’
‘Before that, the people of Hilderan.’
‘Without the help of the guild, the princess cannot be saved.’
‘Then let’s make a compromise. But never give them what they want. Hopefully you don’t have that much ability.’
I had this conversation with Hillen, the king of Hilderan, right here. And the direction was clearly different from that of the Hero Guild and the Elder.
‘If it’s not an expedition, we can’t provide full support. What the hell are you going to do with that kind of power?’
‘A troop-sized raid? Is the purpose only to save the Crown Princess?’
‘I understand Hilderan’s heartache for losing the Crown Princess, but I can’t support that much.’
‘At first, I heard that you were also going to the heroic journey of Jespine. Then we’ll talk again.’
Hilderan’s request through Hillen was rejected as such.
The Heroes’ Guild, who wants to restore honor and make Daphner’s death a great martyr through heroic action centered on the heroes, and Hilderan, who wants to save only the Crown Princess of their country and stand by.
In a way, it was natural that each other’s positions could not be reached along parallel lines.
“Then there is no harvest at all?”
“We have brought 21 warriors along with the raid of the Red Hawks.”
They were personally followers of Hillen. They envy Hillen’s prestige and achievements, and they were the reason why they went to the guild headquarters in the first place.
Although the number is not very large, as they are sneaking around the headquarters, their skills are quite high among the warriors, so all of them were great powers.
“I will hire at least two hundred mercenaries. And I will attach the Blue Sea Knights and the Sea Dragon Wizards disguised as mercenaries.”
“Are you okay?”
What is the reason why heroes and mercenaries have become a trend to search for the Demon King’s Tower? This is because there were many cases of sending troops to the back of the head using the pretext of bravery.
Therefore, when the Empire searched the Tower of Fire, it was to unite with the three northern kingdoms for a cause and send a hostage called the Imperial Family.
That’s the only way to officially dispatch the army.
“If caught, Hilderan will be in great diplomatic trouble.”
“Wrong. Did you think that I would be still waiting after Ernyan was kidnapped?”
Although it was not possible to save Ernian right away, he prepared for the day when the tower would be found.
A secret agreement with Korzen.
“The conversation with Korzen is already over. For giving away quite a few things, only one Knights and one Wizard are all, but Hillen Cargill, I think you will be enough.”
“I will not deny that they will be of great power.”
“I want a more definitive answer.”
The king of Hilderan growled.
In fact, he had done all he had to do by attaching one of the kingdom’s most elite knights and one mage to the raid headed for another country.
Hillen thought for a moment.
‘Actually, there is no problem in saving the princess.’
It didn’t matter if I was alone. From the Demon King to the Princess to the Hero. Because everything was already poker.
But being shown was important. Even if he is a hero who killed two demon kings, how many people would believe that he went into the tower of the demon king alone and saved the princess?
I would start by doubting whether it was the main gugu of the Demon King who betrayed humanity (though it is true).
In that sense, more than 40 warriors and hundreds of troops were enough to look like an appropriate raid.
If such a raid accidentally found the princess on the 1st or 2nd floor, who would say?
Is something strange?
The hero colluded with the demon king?
not.
Once is a coincidence, twice or thrice is inevitable.
No one would think that it is strange to say that the demon king of the Geum River, the demon king of the Geum River, and the demon king of the chloride run the tower in the same way.
‘And above all…’.
It was said that he was disguised as a mercenary, but in the end his eyes were closed. If something went wrong in the Korzen Kingdom, it would have been caught in the information networks of other countries, and not a hundred warriors, but a hundred elites would know.
so.
“I will definitely save the Crown Princess.”
If you can’t dance properly on such a well-coated board, it means that the name Hillen Cargill is a waste.
* * *
The success of finding the Tower of Chlorination did not stop at just heating up some countries, including the Heroes’ Guild and Hilderan.
It was the Empire that took the most initiative and had a large stake in dispatching a search force.
But the Empire was rejoicing from a different point of view.
A sense of superiority that Hilderan and Akan failed, but the Empire succeeded.
In particular, the Empire rejoiced greatly in the fact that it pressed the nose of Akan, who is not an official enemy but tackles every step of the Empire.
The achievements of the 3rd Prince of the Empire were widely publicized, and the people’s pride, sense of superiority, and loyalty to the imperial family were instilled.
“I don’t know what Abamama means.”
And the person who achieved the achievement of coming out with an audience with the emperor was engulfed in anguish.
“what happened?”
“Can I have a cup of coffee for you?”
“Here it is.”

Martin took a sip of his coffee. When I stimulated the bitter tongue, it calmed down a little.“Do you remember the direction the Warlock was behind, and the Empire’s response?”
“Yes.”
“You say you will conquer the Tower of Flames.”
“…the demon lord of flames is unlikely to be the real mastermind, so didn’t you say that you would consider another demon lord? However, we have no choice but to find the Tower of Chloride forever, so we will use this opportunity to seek help from other countries.”
“Yeah, it was.”
In fact, that was also the basis of Martin’s belief.
Even if he is a prince and has his own power, he has no choice but to follow when the emperor falls.
However, the emperor’s will was not the demon king of flames, but a true enemy, and he knew that there would be no problems beyond the search party, so he was able to assure the demon king.
just a while ago.
“Did you tell me why you changed your mind?”
“The death of the Daphner Philian. I understand. Until now, there has never been a death of a star hero in a search, nor a demon king who tried to kill him. The Demon King of Chlorination is different from the previous Demon Lords, so he does not want any variables.”
However.
“However, there is someone behind who is trying to drive the empire into catastrophe. I am honestly against it.”
The reason that the Demon King of Flames was subjugated like this was to cut off a single rope that was given to him.
You might think that you might cut off the connection with the Demon King, but you’ve already given up too much.
‘The hand of the Imperial Palace Vigo. And Kaede is with the Demon King. At least until the day when Kaede is released from his contract, the Demon King must be alive.’
He knew that when the Demon King died, his family would be liberated. But will the demon lord who is driven into the corner gently release them?
How much less would the empire come to the fore, would Kaede, the imperial princess, look pretty? And are you quietly keeping your mouth shut about the imperial palace Vigo’s hand?
not. Martin was sure the Demon King would never do that.
‘More than anything else, I need his help to become an emperor.’
I don’t think it will do much. But at least there will be helpful parts, and those trivial parts will make him the power to become an emperor.
should be blocked If you can’t stop it, you have to take as much time as possible.
“I need to see Floyan-nim.”

Meanwhile, Berge decided to lay a carpet for Hillen Cargill.“It’s best to send Ernyan as soon as possible to put Hilderan to sleep and start working.”
This is because the idea of moving with a bridge on the tower should never be detected by humans.
It was obvious that the process for making the bridge would take place outside the tower.
“Do you want to let me go so quickly?”
“Don’t be sarcastic.”
“It’s a joke.”
Berger continued, ignoring Ernian’s strange smile.
“The best thing to do is just leave the door wide open, but that raises doubts. So it will interfere appropriately, but literally at the appropriate level.”
“I’m going to show you.”
“okay. Croutu.”
“Yes, my lord.”
“When they start climbing the mountain, attract monsters and attack them. There shouldn’t be too many monsters, and there shouldn’t be any more powerful monsters than necessary.”
“Yes.”
“And leave a cross and a direction on the shortest path to the tower. I’ve already talked to Hillen.”
“Yes.”
“In addition···.”
He ordered a number of other necessary things. From the lieutenant Gordon to the junior Fear Orc.
All the members of the tower strengthened their will.
“There should never be any failures in this work. Remember, failure is death.”
“Yes!”
All the members of the tower strengthened their will.
The tower of chloride is ready.
However, one person.
“Turn my hand-made bastards into screwed idiots! Nonsense!”
Except for the dwarves who were ordered to lower the performance of the mana cannons in order to hand them over to the top of the golden moon.
