141. Servant
“Shit.”
Granada let out a white breath. His cheeks were flushed with the chilly cold.
“Again, Erzestrani.”
After signing a contract with the Demon King, Granada, who became an aide to Hillen Cargill, could not shake the feeling that he was being abused.
Starting with infiltrating the first heroic journey led by Hilan Cargill, he entered the Tower of the Beast and survived the brink of death, helped Akan to ascend to Erzest, once again in a search under the leadership of the Empire, and now in Hilderan. He was a member of the organized raid, and was scheduled to participate in the imperial bravery that would take place in the future.
In fact, in a land of extreme cold where snow falls all year round.
‘Don’t you know that elves live in warm places with good water and mountains?’
No, even if he knew, he wouldn’t care. So you’re the devil
“Actually, it’s not an order, but you’re trying to betray me, aren’t you?”
But then he shot Hillen Cargill, who was walking side by side.
If not, there is no way that Berger could have persuaded him to participate in several raids and bravery to kill himself.
“There are other people around, Granada.”
“okay. Then I will politely ask again. Aren’t you just trying to get your head dirty because you want to live?”
“I’m not polite at all, but I’ll give you an answer. I always just faithfully follow.”
“Is there any reason why I must be included in that faithfulness?”
“That was dissatisfying. Of course, there was no direct mention of that part, but there is a saying in the human proverb that a thread goes when a needle sharpens. Isn’t it unreasonable to say that my raid squad, the Red Hawk, and its commander, Granada-sama, are not with me when I go?”
“…God damn it.”
Granada barely suppressed the urge to slap Hillen’s cheek with a smirk.
He looked at the distant mountains and took a deep breath. The sight of the ogre waking up with his eyes turned inside out made me feel disgusted, but I struggled to change the direction of my thoughts.
‘He told me to help Hillen Cargill rescue Ernyl Hilderan.’
That means that the Demon King has decided to free Ernyan Hilderan.
It means that we will send Ernian Hilderan to shut the mouth of Hilderan among Hilderan and Jespain.
In the current situation, this is the best way. Even so, a bigger mountain called the Empire left behind.
‘You’re not really going to die, are you?’
Then what will happen? Even if it was an oath on the World Tree, there was no reason to keep it since the object had disappeared.
‘But I don’t know, but they’re not elves.’
As the demon king’s subordinates, they must oppose the heroic squad. Will humans who are angry with the demon king really save the elves? I’d rather be a traitor and kill him more painfully.
‘··········.’
They were elves made with the Demon King’s main ball with their own hands. Although he masturbated, saying it is better than slavery, that fact does not change.
They could not be left to die as the demon king’s main gugu. At least until a hundred years have passed, the Demon King must not die.
That was Granada’s responsibility for bringing them in.
‘Damn, did the Demon King use the elves knowing this?’
Either way was an outlier.

Meanwhile, while his troubles continued, the raid quickly advanced to the Tower of Chloride.The problem was that it was too fast.
Erzestra was so easy that it did not live up to the name of the Demon King’s Realm of Fire.
spatula-
The giant monster’s head was cut in half and fell. The pure white eyes were dyed red.
‘That’s what it meant.’
Hillen Cargill, who killed the monster, wiped the blood from his sword.
He said that he had prepared a solid road to the tower, and I understand the meaning of it.
The road is well paved, and the shortest distance to the tower is left as a mark that only he can recognize.

Monsters did appear, but the level and amount of them were enough to cover Hillen’s moderately.Although Hillen Cargill’s level had risen a lot, and that alone caused quite a bit of damage to others, some quick-witted people had no choice but to question it.
“Is Erzest right?”
“Didn’t I say that the ban was overflowing with monsters?”
“Is it snowing all year round? Is the sky bright?”
If you follow it up to the sky, the difficulty level has dropped sharply. Hillen laughed outwardly while cursing the humans who could not accept them innocently even if they were fed.
“In a way, it makes sense.”
“Of course?”
“Although the search team suffered great damage, they collided with the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon Kings. The damage on the demon lord’s side won’t be too small, so there’s bound to be fewer monsters to hinder us.”
“So is it.”
“And who am I? It’s self-deprecating, but I’m Hillen Cargill.”
“···exactly.”
“It’s also Hillen.”
Those who had doubts were convinced by Hillen’s explanation.
“If you think about it, the monsters were strong. It’s just that Hillen-sama is stronger.”
They resembled and resembled mercenaries and elites of the kingdom. I was just bewildered by the comfortable atmosphere that did not fit the notoriety, but I knew that the monsters who died by Hillen’s sword would cause a great commotion if even one of them went down the mountain.
“Anyway, I want it to continue like this.”
“I agree.”
continued to be
As we walked along the tantan road prepared by the Demon King, we discovered the Demon King’s residence in a time that no one expected.
“It’s a tower!”
“There is a real tower!”
The Tower of Chloride. The hottest tower on the continent appeared before their eyes.
There were no monsters near the tower. The raid slowly approached the tower’s nose.
The relaxed atmosphere was tightened again.
‘I’m back.’
Hillen Cargill put his hand on the door. I could feel the chill standing in my eyes.
When you open it, you will finally enter the tower.
Joyol was already done in advance.
All you need to do is open the door, go in, deal with the little monsters, and save the princess who will be on the 1st or 2nd floor.
However.
‘Is there really a monster?’
Isn’t that a magic cannon?
It’s not the flashy flashes, but the roar of monsters that greets him, right?
Of course, he knows that the Demon King will not lie. However, the deep trauma did not go away easily.
A cold sweat ran down the back of his back.
“Hillen?”
“Are you stuck with something?”
At his hesitation, the members of the raid showed their doubts.
“No, no. It’s just a new feeling to finally be able to enter this tower.”
“Oh, I understand. To Hillen, this tower must be special.”
Recalling his failure, the search party went gloomy for a moment.
“Isn’t that the past? Now, if you save the Crown Princess and kill the Demon King, the hero’s reputation will resonate throughout the continent!”
A wizard tried to set the mood urgently. But Granada knew well that it wasn’t the cause.
‘I was scared.’
After all, as soon as the door opened, the dozens of magic cannons that poured out were like lightning bolts to the really dry sky.
Now, the number of gates is said to be several hundred, so if the tower is as originally designed, more than half of the search corps will be blown away the moment the door is opened.
“Thanks for the encouragement. More than anyone else, the hero who has to defeat the Demon King in front of you is showing a lot of ugliness.”
Strength entered Hillen’s hands, who had struggled to shake off his worries.
Giggiggeek-
The heavy door slowly opened with a dull sound.
gulp-
Reconnaissance team members grabbed their weapons and prepared for a monster that would pop out.
And when the door is fully open.
Hillen Cargill was relieved.
In the appearance of a tower that is more standard than anyone else.
The appearance of a magic cannon that can’t be seen even a single one.
‘Are they Yetis?’
There were more than a dozen or so of pure white hairs wandering around the first floor. It wasn’t a weak monster, but it wasn’t enough to rub against the search party.
“I, there…!”
Then, a knight shouted. All eyes followed his fingers.
And at the end.
she was
Crown Princess of Hilderan, Hernan Hilderan.
Inside a small iron cage located in a corner on the first floor.
With a pale face, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
“My God, Your Majesty!”
“majesty!”
“My Majesty the Crown Princess!”
The knights and wizards of Hilderan who recognized her face shouted.
It was Hillen Cargill who stopped them from making the move to run at any moment.
“Calm down. This is the Demon King’s Tower.”
“But the Crown Princess is over there…!”
“Your Majesty is alive. The fact that His Majesty is here means that the Demon King of Chloride has the same direction as the Demon King of the Frigid Cold and the Demon King of the Geum River.”
Placing the abducted royal family on the lower floor to avoid unreasonable clashes.
“ah···.”
Recognizing that fact, the search party was delighted.
Their commonalities do not stop at simply placing the royal family on the lower floors. Not even once, the royal family never died.
“You are lucky. There is no need to rush up to the Demon King’s floor.”
Hillen Cargill raised his sword.
“I will take the lead.”
Before the search party could show any reaction, lightning struck.
────!
A white Yeti fell to black ashes. The roar surrounding the first floor sparked the anger of the Yetis.
A deep life marked the beginning of the battle. Hillen ran out, followed by a raid of Red Hawks, led by Granada.
“Are you in a hurry? Do you want to save His Majesty like that?”
“It makes sense. It is me who saves the Crown Princess.”
Hillen lightly overcame the sarcasm of the elves. Even though it was a go-stop, there were nearly three hundred witnesses, so I couldn’t help but be greedy.
Wow-
The Yetis roared, but they could not stand in the way of Hillen.
The bouncing thunderbolt did not even allow them to turn their fur black and shed red blood.
A black road was made.
spatula-
An iron fence hanging from the sky fell. Hillen took the iron spear and put it down carefully.
He cut the grate and carefully pulled out the Crown Princess. Her body was terribly cold. But the thin breath hinted that he was alive.
“The Crown Princess…”
A search party that followed later surrounds Hillen.
“You are alive. There are no visible wounds. However, I think you need treatment because your body is so cold.”
“Where is the healing wizard!”
“Take care of your Majesty right now!”
“I think it would be better to go down to the village and receive proper treatment.”
The commander of the Cheonghae Knights hesitated at Hillen’s suggestion.
“But as for Elena…”
Their top goal was always Ernyl Hilderan, but the king’s name included Elena Hilderan as well.
Because she was also a princess of Hilderan.
However.
“The highest priority in the orders I have received is His Majesty, Crown Princess Ernyl Hilderan. As long as you’ve found the tower anyway, you can organize a heroic event at any time. Right now, protecting the Crown Princess is my priority.”
‘The only thing the Demon King has allowed is Ernyl Hilderan. You can’t even touch Elena.’
The moment he exceeds the mercy allowed by the Demon King, his head will explode.
“However···.”
“Gong Hillen! Looks like I’ll have to go downstairs! The condition of the charge is not easily improved!”
At that moment, the urgent cry of the healing wizard was heard. Hillen ran quickly.
“I don’t have any trauma, is it serious?”
“I don’t think that a body cold as an ice field will regain its warmth. It seems that my skills are not enough. It would be better to return to the royal capital and show it to the court mage.”
“Go now.”
The commander of the Cheonghae Knights did not say anything to the disturbance. Hillen swung his sword towards the closed tower door. A powerful dimensional interference force cuts off the power of the second dimension.
The door was forcibly opened, and the raid successfully accomplished its purpose and escaped the tower.
* * *
“The Crown Princess is awake!”
“You are not feeling well. First of all, I think it would be better to form a camp and take a break.”
The rescued Crown Princess woke up at the foot of the mountain.
As if the body, which was cold as ice, was a lie, the original complexion was restored.
The raid was set up and camped in a place where traces of monsters were rare, and Hillen Cargill received a request from the Crown Princess to stand alone.
“I heard that your Highness is awake.”
“Yes, Your Majesty is waiting for you.”
Hillen Cargill entered the tent. Ernya, with a haggard complexion, was eating soup.
“I have been called.”
“Ah, Prince Hillen.”
“majesty.”
“it’s okay. Can you lie down and say hello to the hero who saved me from the evil demon king?”
She struggled to get up. The knight escorting her stopped her, but Ernap shook her head.
“Are you all right?”
“Thank you. If it wasn’t for Hillen-sama, I might have died.”
Ernya turned to the knight.
“Sir, would you mind leaving for a moment? I want to speak with Prince Hillen.”
“Yes, my lord.”
The article went smoothly. Moment.
– Oh, it was frustrating.
The spirit poked her head out. A translucent film of water wrapped around them and blocked the sound.
“How was it?”
Ernya’s tone of voice changed.
A pathetic, powerless complexion.
It was more playful and lively.
“My acting.”
Ernya laughed.
Hillen laughed too.
“It was great.”
“okay?”
“Without the help of the right timing, I would have gone upstairs to rescue His Majesty Princess Elena.”
“I can’t. It’s not what the Demon King wants.”
It’s better for Elena to be in the tower right now.
“Congratulations on your return as Crown Princess of Ernap again.”
“I heard from the Demon King. Hillen-sama likes honor more than anyone else.”
“No one hates honor.”
“Money?”
“No one hates money.”
“How about the title of Queen Hilderan’s benefactor? What if the queen gives you full support to become the guild leader of the Heroes’ Guild rather than just Argan?”
“I have been a servant of Her Majesty from the beginning.”
Hillen Cargill knelt down.
