230. Who Should Go

Media outlets rushed to publish articles.The impact the continent received was huge.
flying tower.
A tower that appears with hundreds of shells and wipes out monsters.
The Demon King’s Tower.
A situation in which a monster attacks another monster.
Everything was unknown.
It was a situation that could or could not be easily trusted.
“Ah, no matter how, there is no way that a flying tower exists…”
“Because I saw with these two eyes! Not only me, but everyone there!”
“It’s not just Ain-seong. Garkin, Jooran, Bayern, and Felln. All the soldiers of the castle who were attacked by demons were helped by the tower. The frigid demon king came down and wiped out the demons and disappeared.”
“That makes sense. Not a prince on a white horse, but a demon king on a sky tower. Does this make sense?”
“Then what will happen? Is the Demon King really on our side…?”
“What kind of side is the Demon King on our side? Don’t you remember how many people the Demon King of Fire has killed? I guess they just got on with each other.”
“Well, that’s more realistic.”
“But if that tower attacks Hilderan…”
“… just imagining it is terrible.”
Everyone in Hilderan’s writing streets was buzzing with the story of the Demon King and the Sky Tower. And the rumor spread quickly across the continent.
The party, the Hilderan royal family, was no exception.
“How am I supposed to understand this?”
The demon king’s tower appeared flying in the sky and swept away the demon kings.
“Is it a tower of extreme cold?”
“I think so, considering that the Demon Lord of the cold has come out, but I’m not sure.”
“not sure?”
“Because of the magic cannon. The demon king who kidnapped the dwarves and used the magic cannon is the demon king of flames.”
“Is it true that the Demon King of the cold is in the Tower of Fire?”
“It used to be absurd, but it’s not completely impossible these days. Although it was unsuccessful, it is said that at the time of the subjugation of Lake Grasical, a person equivalent to the Demon King was serving the Demon Lord of Lies.”
“A person equivalent to the Demon King?”
“This is the new Demon King.”
Hillen Cargill stepped forward.
“He was the new Demon King who came after the death of the Demon King Geumgang.”
“Is that true? Guild leader?”
“I can swear as a warrior.”
“Hey, the Demon King is fighting for another Demon King…”
“Didn’t a lie ever actually help you?”
“So it makes no sense. According to what you said, it is a battle between chlorine and lies. But, why did two demon kings who were helping each other fight until not long ago?”
“that···.”
‘Because the two of you are on a very bad relationship, and the rumors are actually nonsense.’
The king grabbed his throbbing head.
Of course, I was grateful for the end of the dangerous situation. However, since the main character is the Demon King, he could not accept it.
It was not clear whether the owner of the tower was cold or chlorinated, and it was more of a problem if it was chlorinated.
It is now buried for a while because of a lie, but in fact, the culprit that brought this situation to life was Chloride.
This situation came about because Chloride ate countless warriors and troops.
“Where is the tower now?”
“We are still roaming the northern part of Hilderan, repulsing monsters invading the territory.”
“Damn it! What the hell are you talking about!”
“It is a tower of flames.”
At that moment, Ernap came out.
“How are you sure?”
“Even though the Demon King’s Towers all look the same, they are slightly different. And I was in that tower for quite some time.”
“…the tower of flames. Is it true that the demon lord of the frigid cold has become a subordinate of the fire?”
“I will find out.”
The king’s brow wrinkled.
“What do you mean?”
“There must be some reason to help Hilderan. Maybe you want us to knock on the door first.”
“It’s the Demon King.”
“Because he’s the devil. You know our hostility, so why don’t you just wait for us to accept it without going out blindly saying you helped?”
“… well.”
‘It seems so…’
‘Aren’t you the Demon King anyway?’
‘But after helping us defeat the demons, he doesn’t leave Hilderan, so it seems like he definitely wants something.’
Instead, they whispered. It’s not that Ernyl’s remarks are unconditionally correct, but it’s because I couldn’t think of anything else other than that.
“They say they’re waiting for us to come. Is there any reason for the Demon King of Fire?”
“We need to figure that out now. So I will go.”
“Can not be done!”
The king shouted.
“Even if your predictions are correct, you are the Crown Princess of this country!”
“I am not proud of it, but I have been held captive in the Tower of Chloride for quite some time. No one knows more about the Demon King of Chloride than I do.”
“So it could be kidnapped again.”
“I am the Elemental King’s contractor. If you want to run away, even the Demon Lord cannot stop you.”
“The Demon King of Flames is different! look at that tower Who would have thought that the Fire Tower could fly and fire magic cannons?”
Not to mention, there was also a demon king of extreme cold. No matter how much Ernyan was the Elemental King’s contractor, he could never ignore the heat and cold. Moreover, the tower is not their domain.
“So we have to go further. Is there any guarantee that the demon lord, tired of waiting, will not turn the end of the magic cannon to us, not to the false demons?”
“…it’s just your guess.”
“I am sure. I have had quite a few conversations with the Demon King of Chloride.”
“What the hell happened in the tower?”
“A lot of things happened.”
The eyes of the king and the crown princess collided.
“I still can’t send it. If you are wrong, I will regret today.”
“Is that the sadness of losing a daughter? Or is it the sorrow of losing an heir?”
“Both.”
“Then I will go with Hillen-sama. Other stars if necessary. At the same time, most of the stars are in Hilderan. All the stars and I go together, and you don’t think we can’t escape.”
“·················ogue.”
Even the king could not find anything to say. He turned his head and asked the others.
“What do you think of the lords?”
“…It is inconvenient to send His Majesty the Crown Princess to such a rough place, but it seems undeniable that it is the surest way.”
“It is most important to know the meaning of chlorination.”
It wasn’t the answer the king wanted. The ministers, who met the angry gaze, tried to avoid the gaze.
They also had excuses.
sky tower. Just thinking about those things that transcend common sense, I couldn’t come up with an answer. To the extent that I want to blindly believe that things will be fine if the Crown Princess goes away.
“you.”
“Yes, my lord.”
The court wizard bowed his head.
“I will ask you, the greatest wizard in the kingdom. If you fight the Demon King of Fire, can you destroy that tower?”
“.
“impossible?”
“Didn’t you see the notes sent by Count Pagan? There are hundreds of magic cannons on that tower. Once Japanese saturation is achieved, the city will evaporate in an instant.”
“I asked if I could break it or not.”
“The strength of the Demon King’s Tower has been known since ancient times. There have been quite a few attempts, and now the method of using the warriors has been established because the tower cannot be destroyed from the outside.”
If you really do your best, you might be able to break it. But the Demon King will never leave it alone.
“And above all else.”
“More than anything?”
“Even if we say we have the destructive power to destroy the tower, we can run away from that tower. Isn’t that a flying tower in the sky?”
“···Right.”
“I don’t think it’s right to touch it prematurely. If the demon king decides to bomb the kingdom…”
The court mage swallowed the back words, but the king and the ministers all understood. They trembled at the growing goosebumps.
“But it doesn’t have to be you, right? If that’s the case, just take the warriors…”
“Do you want to be dishonored for driving the warriors to their limbs?”
“It doesn’t change when you go.”
“It will increase your chances of survival.”
“you···.”
“I am the Elemental King’s contractor and the Crown Princess of Hilderan. The kingdom is in peril, and it is only natural that we must step forward to save it. That is the duty of royalty.”
“·················ogue.”
The king brushed his hair. But the conclusion was there.
“It’s not okay. You cannot go.”
“···All right.”
Ernya nodded expressionlessly. He hurriedly left Daejeon.
“Gong Hillen. As the King of Hilderan, I will make a formal request to the Heroes’ Guild. Can you visit the Demon King?”
“All right.”
Hillen bowed his head.
The next day, Hillen Cargill and other stars visited the Tower of Chlorination.
The tower door opened very quietly and swallowed the warriors.

“What did Ernap say?”
Berger savored the aroma of tea.
“You have asked us to kick you out.”
“and?”
“I want you to fire some magic cannons around the city at a time when no one is around.”
“Is it an armed protest?”
“Yes.”
“It’s fun.”
It wasn’t really the way he liked it, but Berger meekly nodded his head.
“Eat well. If you were kicked out by the Demon King, you should have at least one or two wounds.”
“Can I take a look? Wizards are advanced personnel.”
“Me too.”
Roselle and Aina had pathetic expressions on their faces.
“There are no exceptions.”
“Isn’t the setting ‘We were safe because Ralph protected us’ isn’t too bad? We are wizards.”
“It’s not bad enough. I don’t know if he wants it.”
Ralph, who was eating the fruit the elf had grown, had a poopy expression on his face.
* * *
That night.
A tower appeared in Hilderan’s royal capital.
─!
──!
The magic cannon blew out fire. The target was not a monster.
With the help of the tower, the walls of the surviving fortress were destroyed.
“Enemy!”
“It’s an enemy invasion!”
The fortress woke up. The tower ended several shells, but dropped another instead.
“Something is falling!”
“It’s like a person…?”
The soldiers were frightened when they saw the figures who had fallen just outside the wall.
“Yo, the warriors!”
“Hey, it’s Hillen Cargill!”
It was because they were the warriors who went to meet the demon king of the tower under the king’s order.
* * *
“What did the Demon King say?”
said Hillen Cargill, who suffered minor injuries to the king’s wrinkled face.
“I told you to bring a suitable person to have a conversation with.”
“Who is more worthy than you, the guild leader of the Heroes’ Guild?”
“···majesty.”
“what?”
“…the Crown Princess told me that you should come in person.”
“··········!”
* * *
“Did you just send me away?”
“Because I couldn’t let you go.”
“So what’s next?”
“Through me, the Demon King has expressed his intention to cooperate.”
“Will it work?”
“You have to make it work. I have already started working with the press.”
“Strictly.”
“You can never fail.”
pong-
Berge opened the lid of the Champagne. A golden liquid flowed into Ernian’s glass.
“Thank you.”
“I will follow you.”
“Would you like some chocolate?”
“ah.”
“·················ogue.”
Berger put the chocolate in his mouth without saying a word.
– Me too.
He threw a small ball of fire into his mouth.
– Whoa! My body evaporates!
Nairuniel screamed and ran through the tower.
“Good job.”
“That spirit is arrogant whenever you see it.”
“By the way.”
“what?”
“I heard a while ago, but strange rumors were circulating in Akan.”
“. . . I did nothing.”
“I haven’t talked about the rumors yet.”
“·················ogue.”
Berger shut his mouth.
