246. Greed
The third prince of the Jespine Empire, Martin Jespine, spurred the horse.
A sweet smell came out of his mouth. My butt hurt like it was being crushed.
“Sir, is this really true?”
“Right. Trust me and follow me.”
The empire was full of chaos.

Many high-ranking nobles, including the emperor, suddenly went crazy, and most people did not know why.But Martin knew.
‘As the lie died, the demons who belonged to the family went crazy.’
After causing a brief commotion, they entered the group as a group.
Even the emperor gave up the emperor’s name and entered the chipgeo, so the upper layers of the empire were paralyzed. But there was nothing Martin could do.
because I didn’t have permission. Officially, the Emperor is still alive and only a little sick.
Therefore, Martin accepted the Demon King’s proposal without hesitation.
Joining the Alliance, telling the truth, and convincing the Imperial Army without conflict as much as possible. To ascend to the throne on the basis of them.
It was very brief, but I learned quite a bit about wearing the leather of my maternal grandfather, Marquis Eincheil.
Rumors were circulating that the soldiers were already anxious. If Martin, who has the right to heir to the imperial throne, shows evidence and tells us that the empire is wrong.
If the union can help.
‘There is a possibility.’
It wasn’t a possibility. Every premise makes the assumption that it must be true. However, Martin gained confidence through the Demon King.
“You must flee before you notice anything strange in the ecliptic.”
No matter how much you have a justification for being a prince, if you join the union with your bare body, you will inevitably be taken advantage of.
So Martin mobilized all the troops he had available, and the number was 3,000.
The problem is that Martin’s estate is an area adjacent to the sea. It was the exact opposite of Iasin. If you were to lead an army of 3,000 and go to that wide area, there was no choice but to cause problems.
It was the Demon King who gave him a rope as he was worried.
“When did you prepare the boat?”
“You haven’t prepared it.”
“Yes? Then why go to the sea…?”
“Because I said there was a way.”
“Who are you talking about?”

Martin didn’t answer. After a while, after a few days of running, they reached their destination. A wide sea stretched out in front of me.“…but there is nothing.”
“You can wait.”
That was the moment.
“conceive!”
A soldier cried out. As he said, huge ships began to appear in the distance.
They parted the current very quickly and got closer.
“… Sea, pirate flag?”
“Hey, it’s a pirate!”
However, the soldiers drew their weapons and prepared for battle in a black skeleton that was gradually revealed.
“Your Majesty, get out of here!”
“Damn it, pirates come all the way here. No matter how much the empire is at war, what is this…!”
“Wait a minute···.”

Martin looked at the leading ship. The moment he saw In-young standing at the player, he laughed.“Put your weapons in everyone!”
“Yes?”
“What does that mean?”
“They are reinforcements that will take us to the other side of the continent!”
The player had a succubus with one eye covered with a black eye patch, spreading its wings.
‘You’re a succubus pirate…’
end the world.
He already had a headache as to how to convince the nobles, knights and soldiers who followed him.
“Hop in!”
Not knowing his intentions, she shouted brightly.
* * *
“You have two options.”
Kaede walked through the cold dungeon. The eyes of the princesses locked in their respective rooms were expressed through the iron bars.
“Or rot in prison like this.”
Become the demon king’s subordinate and go out into the world again.
“Choose.”
“Crazy bitch.”
The first princess of the Jaisin, Natalia Jaasin, spit out a curse.
“You’re not even good enough to act as the Demon King’s dogs, so you’re going to turn us into dogs too?”
“Be careful. I am the Demon King’s knight.”
“So bitch. Dog, bark.”
“It doesn’t matter what you say.”
You may have been embarrassed and angry before. But the current Kaede has already transcended everything.
He decided to become a knight of the Demon King by his own will, not by coercion. He could tolerate such an insult.
On the contrary, it felt similar to the first self, and even made me laugh.
“The Demon Lord has made an official alliance with the King of Hilderan. In return, he frees you, but he is not good enough to release those who do not cooperate with the Demon Lord. As you all know, isn’t he the Demon King?”
That’s not what I want either.
“···What? What did Hilderan do?”
“Say something that makes sense!”
“lie! Does Hilderan form an alliance with the Demon King? Will a coalition arise and wipe out Hilderan right away?”
The princesses did not believe her.
Therefore, Kaede distributed the newspapers he had brought in advance. In consideration of those who cannot see well in the dark, the magic lamp in the prison was lit.
In the sudden light, the princesses, who had time to adjust to the darkness, checked the newspaper.
“So many things happened on the continent while you were here. Hilderan is just the beginning. Werft also expressed its intention to form an alliance, and neighboring countries are expressing the same opinion one by one.”
It wasn’t a lie.
In front of the tower and overwhelming force shown by the Demon King, many kingdoms showed a succumbing gesture. It was also because Hilderan was the first to wear a sword, so there was no more pressure.
“The Empire is invading Iasin? This is manipulation!”
“The royal road has been taken… uh…?”
“Unless the empire goes crazy…!”
“A lie and a salt fight? Why is the Demon King fighting the Demon King!”
“The Sky Tower? Is this tower flying in the sky?”
The princesses denied reality. I didn’t believe the newspaper. But it didn’t matter that much.
“On my honor, I swear there is no manipulation in the newspaper.”
“There is no such thing as honor for the Demon King’s knight!”
Kaede only calmly made them aware of the situation they were in.
“Obviously, this is your first and last chance. He who refuses to become a householder will never go out into the world again.”
“·················ogue.”
“·················ogue.”
The princesses shut their mouths.
They pretended to be strong, but their long prison life was quite exhausting their minds and bodies.
Do I have to do this for the rest of my life?
Kaede threw a carrot at that point.
“It won’t be bad for you. The Demon King has promised. If you become a family member and return to the kingdom, he will spare no effort to support you so that you can become the supreme ruler of the kingdom.”
“···Queen? I?”
“You’re a queen.”
The princesses whispered.
“Do not be ridiculous! You’re trying to make me a queen and swallow the kingdom!”
Natalia Jaasin shouted. The princesses, who were drunk on the sweetness of the name of the queen, came to their senses at her cry.
“That’s right, but shouldn’t it?”
Kaede asked.
“What?”
“Berze-sama is the Demon King. Did you think that the Demon King would do good without any conditions? It’s like something out of a fairy tale.”
“you···!”
“It’s better for you to be queen than to rot here for the rest of your life, no matter how exploited you are. 10 times, no 100 times, more than 1000 times. Maybe it can’t be expressed in multiples. Your situation is negative.”
“this···!”
Natalia’s face flushed red, but she couldn’t speak.
It was because he realized that what Kaede had said was true.
“Please make a wise choice.”
“I···.”
Then the princess of the Principality of Carmenia raised her hand.
“What is?”
“Do I have to be queen? I just want to live comfortably while enjoying everything that I will enjoy as a princess…”
“Well.”
Kaede swallowed for a moment. I’d say you don’t want to be queen. What did Berger say at this time?
“Then I will make you live comfortably in prison for the rest of your life.”
“I will! I will be the queen!”
she was the start Tired of prison life without freedom or comfort, the princesses came over one by one.
Even Natalia Hesse, who never lost her fighting spirit until the end.
So all the princesses went out of prison.
A place where the curtains drift. Kaede walked for a while to find the prison on the other floor.
“It’s been a while, brother.”
“… Kaede.”
The one who once enjoyed unparalleled power as the first prince of the empire lifted a supremely weary face.
Kaede handed the newspaper without a word. Likewise, the lights were turned on. The first prince frowned at the sudden light, but soon became interested in the newspaper.
His pupils enlarged.
“…is this true?”
“It is a fact without a single lie.”
“lie···!”
“Are you aware of reality now?”
Kaede took one step closer.
“I told my brother.”
There will be no rescue by the hero.
Even if I go out when I go out, it will be after someone else has become the emperor and has definitely settled down.
“I am delighted to be able to keep that promise.”
There was no need to ask about my feelings. It was because I heard a cry like a scream from behind my back with a cold sneer.
Don’t be funny!
There is no way the Empire can attack the Union!
Why did Hilderan form an alliance with the Demon King?
It’s manipulation! This is manipulation!
“…it’s ugly.”
Still, he was once the first prince of the empire, but without dignity.
She just got out of jail.
* * *
“Okay, why the hell am I…”
“Isn’t that your Majesty’s name?”
“I mean. Shit. Oh, I just made a mistake. Please do what you can’t hear.”
“of course.”
Count Pagan couldn’t hide his anxiety.
They were now jumping into the tiger’s den.
sky tower. The den of the monster-like demon who killed lies.
No matter how much Hilderan and the Demon Lord of Fire had officially formed an alliance, there was no way they could be completely trusted even if they went to the king’s envoy.
‘Can the word ‘reliable’ go in front of the demon kings!’
He withdrew his heart from shouting thanks for not fighting by forming an alliance with the Demon King. Even though he couldn’t spit out double insults at the king, he couldn’t help but grow resentment.
Why is it you?
‘Are you okay?’
It will be fine. The Crown Princess and other warriors said that they have been there several times, and they are not going alone. There was no way things could go wrong all of a sudden.
gulp-
Count Pagan was the first to enter the Tower of Chloride.
“Welcome, I was waiting for you.”
The succubus greeted them.
“Nice to meet you.”
“The Demon King is waiting. Follow me.”
The tower was large and high. But the real surprise was the members who made up the inside.
“Dwarf.”
I was a little surprised, but I guessed it to some extent. Rumors that the Demon King of Fire had kidnapped the dwarves and used them to mount magic cannons had already spread.
“Golem···?”
yes, this one too. It must have been made by a dwarf.
“Elf?”
But the elf was surprised. Why are the elves living in the Demon King’s Tower?
“Gong Hillen! Why are the elves…?”
No matter how much you look at them growing fruits and crops in an intact tower rather than a prison, they were not just prisoners.
“The elves are also said to belong to the devil’s family.”
“···Oh My God. I guess I went until the elves went too.”
Just before he left the floor, Count Pagan rubbed his eyes. As if he saw something he couldn’t see, he double-checked it once or twice. But it didn’t change.
“Uh…?”
The person who surprised the earl walked calmly.
“Hilan.”
“See you, Elena.”
“Are you going to see the Demon Lord?”
“Yes that’s right.”
“uh? Count Pagan was there too?”
“I, Your Majesty…?”
“Then I’m busy. I also have to be released this time, so I have a lot to pack.”
“Yes, good work.”
Elena disappeared.
“Hey, Hillen? Why, why, His Majesty the Princess…!”
“You were kidnapped. Don’t you know?”
“You know that. But no matter how you look at it, it’s not a prisoner!”
“The Demon King of Flames guarantees freedom to the prisoners.”
“What nonsense is that…!”
“Come at once. It is still too early to be surprised.”
“Is it too early?”
It was really early.
Going further up, the imperial princess was wielding a sword. If her eyes weren’t wrong, she was the 9th Princess of the Empire.
And when he reached the top, he finally faced the Demon King.
“Healan Cargill, long time no see.”
“Yes, I see you, the Demon King.”
Count Pagan, mesmerized by the majesty of the Demon King, did not realize that Hillen Cargill was going so low-key.
So was the conversation.
“Did you decide to lead the princesses?”
“Yes.”
“You said you were going to leave, so take yourselves with you.”
“Yes. But it seems that the strength of the hero has become very strong.”
“Yeah, what I was thinking was that the dimensional power wasn’t being taken away. Giving the Demon King the power of a hero. It is clear that the will of the dimension of Arain is also very stupid.”
“It must have been that the devil judged that the world would be destroyed by the demon king of lies.”
“Puck.”
“Aren’t you thinking of joining the Hero’s Guild?”
“Are you crazy?”
“I am serious. After all, can’t the demon lord be able to completely hide his magic? There is also the identity of Fail. We can make you a star right away. You will have a wider range of maneuvers on the continent.”
“Well, I’ll think about it. But what is that guy?”
“This is Count Pagan, the new star. I brought it here to make it into the Demon King’s family.”
“···uh?”
When Count Pagan came to his senses, Hillen Cargill had already handed him over to the Demon King.
A feeling of life and pressure that seemed to crush his flesh was engulfing his whole body.
“Choose. Will you die or will you become a family member?”
The Demon King threatened him.
“I am also a member of the Demon King’s family. Count Pagan is also with you.”
A guy called the Heroes’ Guild Guild Leader was begging me.
* * *
“To deceive everyone and lead me here! Hillen Cargill…! You are the devil!”
“I’m sorry, but I couldn’t help it. This will be better for the Count as well.”
“You’re calling that an excuse now! How could it be better to become a member of the Demon King!”
“Because Crown Princess Ernian is also following the Demon King.”
“What?”
“The breath of His Majesty Ernyan was strong in this alliance. Have you ever thought that was strange?”
“That’s it….”
At first there was a little However, after seeing the majesty of the Sky Tower, such a heart fell into place.
“really···?”
“Yes. If Count Pagan did not become a member of the Demon King, then His Majesty the Crown Princess would not have left him alone.”
“No matter what, it can’t be…”
“It is better. The Demon Lord does not bring anyone into his family. In other words, Count Pagan deserves it, and Crown Princess Ernap cares deeply about the Demon King’s family. Look at me.”
“·················ogue.”
Come to think of it, no one in Hilderan knew that Ernyl had been using Hillen Cargill very seriously after he was rescued from the Demon King’s Tower.
I thought it was simply because it was the great warrior Hillen Cargill, but it wasn’t?
“The Crown Princess will surely become the king of this country. Who will be there then? Sir, who shared secrets with you? Or ordinary nobles who know nothing?”
“… Prince Hillen, I have always believed in you.”
Cancer, not like that.
“I believed you would know.”
“Hahaha, I wish you all the best in the future. Don’t we also share the same secret?”
“of course.”
“But you and the Crown Princess, do you have any other members of the Demon King’s family besides me?”
“The stars are everything.”
“…Hibb.”
“Why?”
“When are you…?”
“It is difficult to be surprised at this level.”
“More, more?”
“There are Second Princess Lavinia Akan of Akan Kingdom, His Majesty Martin Jespain, 3rd Prince of the Jespain Empire, 9th Princess, His Majesty Kaede Jespain, Louise Werft of Werft Kingdom, and His Majesty Elena whom we met earlier.”
He swallowed his breath at the names of giants pouring in one after another.
“. . . Hillen Ball.”
Count Pagan grabbed Hillen’s shoulder.
“Thank you so much! I would believe you, even if you made bread out of wheat!”
“Bread is originally made from wheat flour.”
“That’s right!”
“I thought you would say that.”
Hillen laughed.
By the time he realized why he was grateful to the king, Count Pagan had already analyzed everything by Hillen.

Berger closed his eyes.
When the towers were merged into five, all efficiencies were multiplied by five.
and.
[You have access to more privileges.]
The combined power of the five towers gave Berge more power.
“It was like this.”
The moment blood is dripped and magic is injected, the tower recognizes that person as the owner.
However, the authority was very minimal.
At first I didn’t know why.
I just didn’t have enough magic, so I thought it would get better with time.
However, even before the return, and even before obtaining Vivian’s Tower, the given authority was never released.
Because of this, I thought that the demon realm simply prevented the demon king from being given too much authority.
It wasn’t.
“From the beginning, the permitted level was limited to one tower.”
A tower has only one level of authority.
[User, Berge Deias. System access.]
The mind approached the tower’s system.

Five is like crossing one big mountain, so it creates synergy more than just five times.
Dimensional movement has become simpler and the area has expanded.
The fact that the number of magi produced by the tower itself has increased incomparably,
Several enhanced powers available in the tower itself.

“Was the tower originally one?”
Even the conviction that the 50 towers were originally one.
“I am greedy.”
The dragon’s instinct to collect treasures stimulated Berge.
The corners of his lips rose.
