145. Voluntary Hogu
“…do you mean that you swear by the standard with the first demon king?”
“okay···! I am embarrassed!”
Jason raised his one-eyed glasses.
Vivian was stupid, but she was neither stupid nor bold enough to bet on a standard with the first demon king and commit vain lies.
In the first place, there is no Demon King who can tell lies by betting on the first demon king and standard.
At the graduation ceremony, Berger, who treated the sacred standard as garbage, is strange.
Then Vivian was not the culprit.
‘Another Demon Lord?’
who
A simple Ugar is extremely demonic.
High self-esteem shames reliance on the skills of a dwarf.
The arrogant Reina never leaves the Empire in any way.
Unlike Ugar and Vivian, she has an extraordinary brain and can clearly distinguish what she can and cannot do.
So neither is it.
‘then.’
natural elimination. There is only one left.
‘Berge, are you?’
The Bergers he knows are competent. As soon as he descended, he knew what to do, and he somehow managed to survive despite all kinds of crises.
Although he thought it was dangerous, he eventually led him in a direction that was beneficial to him.
There is no reason for him to touch the Werft Kingdom.
As usual.
But what about now?
Now, when the Empire is grinding its teeth and shouting the death of the Demon King of Fire.
‘A man in a corner can do anything.’
No, you don’t have to go to the corner.
‘A person who does not choose any means and methods for an end.’
When we first met, I felt a little disgust.
He noticed the aspiration to see beyond, along with the similarly rebellious temperament.
Berge Deias can do anything for his own victory and survival. He does not hesitate to do things that are not limited to demonic things.
So he borrowed money from Jason and was involved in Drakson’s death.
Although it was his conjecture without symptoms, he was certain.
‘So I thought it would be helpful.’
Also, it seemed like they couldn’t be together.
‘If the culprit is Berge Nim, there must be one purpose.’
Impulse the Dwarves to make them brave. Lee Yi-Ji causes conflict with each other by competing with the Empire, who is desperate to catch him.
‘No, rather than that…’
A strategy to divert attention by diverting attention to Vivian. It was not an empire that would stand by as it is, allowing the Dwarves’ excellent strategic materials to enter other countries.
However.
‘Wrong, Berge-nim.’
At least this time, the eyes of the Empire will never return. It was fortunate. If Berge’s intentions went as planned, he wouldn’t have known how the board would turn over.
‘I’ll have to pay more attention to this.’
No more variables could be tolerated.
“I believe. At least this time it doesn’t seem like what Vivian-sama did.”
“You said no!”
“So, are you going to do something for me now?”
“What does it mean?”
“It turned out that it wasn’t me, so there’s nothing I can do about it!”
“Hmm.”
It’s an urgent call Of course, as the situation is, it must be urgent. But that’s Vivian’s case.
Jason calmly took off his glasses and brushed the dust off the egg.
“Unfortunately, I don’t think I can help.”
“···What?”
“As you can imagine, I have a connection with humans, but because I am literally human.”
Dwarfs were out of the question.
『No, but to the neighboring kingdoms…』
“Unfortunately, whether you have done so or not, all of the present positions are pointing to you. Turning it around is almost impossible.”
“No, I don’t want to overdo it just because it’s possible, considering the suspicions and negative glances I will receive through this incident.”
For Jason, there were three main demon kings.
useful or not. Or neither, but harmless.
Vivian might be useful later on, but at least not right now.
It wasn’t even worth the dwarves’ anger to get it instead.
“What kind of barking is that!”
“I didn’t do it! You believed it too!”
“What does it matter what I believe? In Araine, it’s important for Araine’s creatures to believe.”
So that’s it.
“As the great demon king, as the vanguard of the demon realm who takes the lead in dimensional conquest, I pray that you will defeat those who fell for instigation and fabrication and imprint the greatness of the demon realm.”
I mean don’t bother, just die.

“These are just . . .”
A dwarven magic cannon.
Aman exclaimed when he saw the splendid majesty of the 50 magic cannons.
Chinese and Chinese characters are astronomical amounts of money, and I had no idea how much it would be if I sold them all.
“Did you say there are more hundred doors?”
“okay. It was made by a Dwarf, but the function is the same as that made by a human. If you shoot, it will overheat and fire will not work well, and some things will explode. Still, I’ll be on the better side than anything else. At least among those made by humans.”
“That is enough. If this is the case, we will be able to convince all the executives who oppose the current work.”
It was a pity that they couldn’t sell a Dwarf product as a Dwarf product, but that didn’t reduce the value of the magic cannon itself.
The problem was different.
There is no one who wouldn’t be surprised if a magic cannon suddenly erupted from somewhere.
Fortunately, even at the top of the Golden Moon, they have their own workshops, and they produce military supplies through them.
The level of the mana cannons had been lowered, so it didn’t look like they were made by a Dwarf.
“Under the current situation, if a dwarf magic cannon comes out, it’s a good thing because we’re almost doomed. You’ll be questioned about your relationship with the Demon Lord of Lust…”
“Lust, what do you mean?”
“Did you not know? Not long ago, the princess of the dwarf kingdom and 49 royal workshop craftsmen were kidnapped. But in the Kingdom of Werft, the culprit was the Demon King of Lust.”
“…lust?”
Berze, who thought that the dwarves’ anger would naturally be directed at him, tilted his head.
“why?”
“It’s because the princess I kidnapped is the 2nd Princess Louise Werft. As you know, she is the demon king of lust…”
“I cut off the tail.”
But it’s too much of an assumption to just say it’s because of that.
“Of course it is, but the biggest reason is the artisans.”
“How is that evidence of lust?”
“Don’t demon lords generally borrow the power of humans or other races? In particular, I’ve never been one to pinpoint and kidnap Dwarf craftsmen.”
“It is.”
“Because of this, the Dwarves at first thought it was the work of humans, but it is said that they changed their direction when Magi was discovered at the abduction site.”
“What does that have to do with lust?”
“As you may know, the Demon King of Lust is currently pirating in the pirate system.”
“…piracy?”
It was the first story I heard. Could it be that a bitch called the Demon King wanders around doing things like that?
end the world.
“Yes, they say they have been caught acting with some pirates.”
“Anyway, you’re still a human, but you mean you’re with the Demon King?”
“Pirates don’t really care. Whether it’s a demon king or a human, if it’s only for their benefit.”
“···therefore?”
“The thing that pirates take very seriously is the ship. It’s only natural because it’s like a lifeline, but the top priority along with ships is the magic cannon.”
“Magic Cannon?”
“Do you know how naval warfare works? In the past, we used to fight each other in hand-to-hand combat, but now…”
“It’s like installing a magic cannon and firing it from a distance.”
“Yes. That’s why horsepower cannons are very important to navy and pirates. So it wasn’t the first time they tried to kidnap a dwarf.”
“So, among the demon kings, the only one capable of kidnapping artisans is the lust of having sex with pirates? Does the affair with Louise Werft add confidence to that?”
“Yeah, that’s it.”
of course.
“I don’t think so.”
“You are quite talented.”
“No, anyone who knows the Demon Lord would think so.”
“Hmm, whatever.”
Berge made an interesting face.
From the point of view of the person concerned, it was nonsense, but to those who did not know anything, it was a fairly plausible reasoning.
‘Not bad.’
Vivian pays all the price for what he has done. It wasn’t my intention, but I didn’t feel the need to actively explain it.
It doesn’t matter if the Dwarves are angry or not by moving the tower, but it’s always right for others to blame others for their own mistakes.
Sorry about Vivian? There could be such a thing. Isn’t the demon king inherently individualistic?
“Did you get all the ingredients I mentioned?”
“There are still only a few…”
Aman was speechless, but the materials he had saved in such a short time were by no means small.
“I can’t tell you to take it slow, but you don’t have to rush it either. You can make it just with what you have.”
“Still, some things just take time, and there is nothing that can’t be saved…”
“but?”
“It will take some time to get some rare materials.”
The original golem is the totality of magic engineering. Even if we are freed from the most fundamental nuclear problem, the fundamentals do not change.
The golem’s body required special materials that were more sensitive to mana than simple weapons or armor, and they were all rare and expensive.
“how much?”
“First of all, we dispatched top personnel to all continents. The good news is that Jettson’s ability is so good that he can save time than expected.”
“Jetson?”
“Isn’t there an Akan merchant sent by the Demon King?”
“Oh, there was.”
The guy who dared to deceive the Demon King and the Dwarf Princess?
“Yeah, he said he was a well-known merchant in Akan, so he was quite talented.”
“Are you doing well in Akan?”
“Yes, I did it with my own mouth. He was the godfather who ruled the magic market.”
“…Did you believe it?”
“I was skeptical, but I thought it was because he was a talented person sent by the Demon Lord. I don’t know if it was real, but it’s true that he did amazingly well at one thing. Especially when dealing with people and negotiating.”
yes it is Because the mouth is a slick scammer.
“therefore?”
“I don’t know exactly what the Demon Lord is trying to do, but the ingredients you want are mostly similar to those of the golem.”
That’s natural. The tower only replaces the core, but in the end, the main trend is the golem. A super-giant golem that had never been created before.
“So, I decided that it would be faster to rescue them from Akan.”
“Certainly not.”
If it wasn’t in the Werft Kingdom, Akan is where the best magic engineering materials are.
“No, wait. So who sent you to Akan?”
“It’s Jetson.”
“···crazy.”
You remember he was half buried in Akan society?
‘Well.’
I felt a sense of crisis that I couldn’t leave my hands like this.
* * *
“Shit. This mouth is a square, it’s a square.”
Why did you tell a lie that would be caught quickly?
‘No, if you think about it, the top is also strange. If you’re bluffing, shouldn’t you have to check whether it’s true or not and then get the job done?’
It’s an important job, so why is your work so lax?
“What are you doing?”
“No, nothing.”
He wasn’t alone. There were a total of 50 people, including 10 merchants who were attached from the top, workers leading the way, and escorts.
It was Jettson in charge.
‘I have to save somehow…’
He couldn’t blow away the trust he had built up so far. It was the end when it became known that all the words he had said were lies.
And conversely, if you overcome all these adversity and make it happen, you can soar higher. You can earn more money!
‘There is a way.’
You just need to make a lie not a lie.
All you have to do is get everything you want from the top.
‘Even though my credibility is the lowest in the Akan market…’
Today, he was not the owner of an old shop on the outskirts of the market, but a merchant at the top of the golden moon, which was rapidly rising in the Kingdom of Iasin.
Responsible for this business.
Jetson opened the list. Dozens or more, all of them were expensive and precious.
Even in the magic market overflowing with magic materials, they are not very common.
In order to obtain more smoothly, in the end, you have to negotiate with the horse tower to obtain the materials accumulated in the horse tower, or negotiate with the top managers who supply it to the horse tower.
‘It’s not money that’s important to make a deal with Matop.’
There is money in the tower. The same goes for the tops that deliver to the horse tower.
What they want is the material.
Worth study, more rare and rare.
‘Is there anything they could wish for at the top of the golden moon?’
none.
But if you give up because you don’t have it, you’re not a good trader.
‘If you are a merchant, how to sell magic lights even in the northernmost part of the snowfield where the midnight phenomenon occurs.’
What is important is the will to sell and buy and the willingness to speak.
‘Isn’t there something like that?’
Something that wizards could revel in and wrap it up appropriately.
‘If possible, it’s like a by-product of demons or monsters… It would be better if it was the Demon King.’
There was no immediate answer.
First of all, I vowed to go around the royal capital’s auction market and collect rare materials.
‘Please stay alone.’
A blind hogu who doesn’t know the value of what he’s selling.
and.
“Demon lord, I think you should come sooner rather than later.”
“why?”
『I have received a call from the Demon King Vivian.』
“Vivian? Were you in a relationship enough to keep in touch? U.S?”
“Well, I don’t know how to say this.”
“Tell me.”
“I want you to live.”
“I’m still smirking in front of the communication area, telling you to bring the Demon King soon.”
“···········?”
Somewhere on the continent, a spontaneous hogu was walking in.
