004. Advice
“I can’t believe it.”
Despite the demon king’s efforts to persuade the lieutenant directly, Gordon denied the reality.
“The standard was not wrong. No matter how things change, it is always absolute.”
So it’s standard. But let alone
“Even if you’re a hero, have humans created a standard that is comparable to that?”
“I don’t just label it as standard. But it spreads like an unwritten rule.”
“If you are a first-time visitor to Arain, you know it well. Are all seniors like that?”
I barely suppressed the rise in fever and asked.
“Then why haven’t you been able to occupy Arain until now?”
“That is probably because the dispatched demon kings lacked the ability.”
Yep, this is another reason why the standard has been consistent.
The law of strong self-existence.
The simple logic that if you fail and are culled, it’s not because the opponent is strong, but because the person who suffered is a weak asshole.
It was only after I experienced it myself, and only after I died, that I got out of it. Since I was a standard follower more ardent than anyone in my previous life, I never thought that I would be able to convince him at once.
Just a little less annoying tackles and that’s enough. Right now.
“You mean all the dozens of demon kings who died here?”
“·················ogue.”
Gordon kept his mouth shut after that.
Succeeding in sank of his fierce opposition, I looked carefully at the tower.
It was a simple structure. A prison on the first basement floor to hold a prince, princess, or prisoner of war. And the 1st to 4th floors of the empty vacant lot. Finally, the 5th floor for the Demon King.
The shiny red carpet and the throne on the pedestal are a consideration to welcome the warrior with more authority.
Although in my eyes, it just looks a little more glamorous execution.
I went into the office behind the throne. There were simple desks and chairs, and several communication tools.
woo woo-
At that moment, as if waiting, one of the communication channels began to show off its presence.
“···hello. This is Gordon, the lieutenant who assists the Demon King of Berge.”
Gordon received an urgent call.
“You walked properly. I am Casey, the lieutenant serving Drakson. We would like to convey Drakson-sama’s intention to hold a welcome party for the newly assigned Demon King.”
Oh yeah.
‘It was there.’
In order to survive in the special environment of Arain, the demon lords have changed. He broke individualism, formed a group, and invited newcomers to the banquet and forced them to join.
They wanted to enter the small society they had created and become good juniors who listened to them well.
in vulgar words.
It’s time to catch Arain’s unique poop.
‘It bothered me.’
A sigh came out.
“Oh my God, you mean the demon lords are meeting with each other?”
Gordon’s pupils shook at the close contact with the demonic tendencies.
“Don’t worry. I have no intention of hanging out with them. Even if you don’t know the standard, I’ll be the hard-working demon king you want.”
“…it’s not that you can’t do it, isn’t it? It was rumored to be a half bone.”
Even in the midst of confusion, he got to the point.
He’s really a good guy with only one ability.
‘In my last life, the call came only a week later.’
that it came so quickly.
‘It means there is a problem.’

Maybe he doesn’t like me more than I thought.* * *
tower of the beast.
The humans of Araine give nicknames to what kind of steps the Demon King has taken depending on his disposition.
Draxon, who invited me, was so much a beast that he was called the ‘Demon King of the Beasts’.
either in action or outwardly.
Cool-
From the moment I entered the tower, I could feel the body of an animal.
Smell of pleasure, bitterness, wildness and madness.
Not really good things. What’s more, there was an explicit hostility mixed in between them.
I could only take ten steps from the entrance of the tower, and disgust grew. I couldn’t stand it, so I couldn’t stand it.
“If you keep rolling your eyes like that, you will be unable to see forever. You become intelligent, but things.”
Nol, the weakest members of the tower that filled the first floor made a squeaking noise and hit their heads.
The same pattern was repeated on the second and third floors. The blatant yet contrived behavior brought out laughter.
It’s still childish as it used to be.
“Isn’t the head just a beast, not the appearance?”
“… it is the tower of the Demon Lord Draxon.”
“You don’t have to be polite to a rude guy.”
“It is. No matter how new the Demon Lord is, inviting him is too much.”
There was a slight anger in Gordon’s tone.
right. No matter how poor you are, if the master you serve has been insulted, you are not a lieutenant.
“Don’t go out. I’ll figure it out.”
“···Yes.”
So I climbed the tower again. I was able to endure it until the 5th floor. He was still flirting with his cheeky eyes, but if he showed his life a little bit, he’d be able to figure it out on his own.
But on the 6th floor, things were a little different.
Lycan Slope. At a glance, they are comparable to the beasts, which are half-human and half-beasts, but unlike the beasts that can become whole beasts or fully human beings, none of them are perfect.
They didn’t hide their teeth at my warning. He did not hide his hostility.
The sight of the dogs obediently obeying the orders given by someone from the top led to laughter.
It would have been better if I could hide even my trembling legs.
“Really loyal.”
However, since it is not directed at me, there is no need to respect it.
Kee ee ek-
The Lycanthrope screamed. He grabbed his face and rolled over on the floor. The blood of a dirty beast was pooling.
I threw one eyeball at him.
“I had no intention of causing a riot in the Tower of the other Demon Kings, but there is no reason not to.”
If you look shallow, you will be taken advantage of. If it looks shallow, it will be eaten. If possible, it exposes the teeth first.
That’s the devil and the devil.
“Isn’t it?”
turned his head A huge beast rose from the crowd of Lycan ropes.
He caught the eyeballs that were flying towards him.
“indeed.”
simplicity and honesty-
A disgusting liquid ran down his gray fur.
“I heard that he overwhelmingly beat the other cadets and took the lead. It’s unnamed.”
“Do animals treat guests like this?”
“Still, I came to meet you in person, so I think I’ve been polite enough.”
“Aren’t you impatient?”
“That’s right. You should be able to wait to see the rumored garbage in person.”
“Actually, so did I. I was afraid of the name of the Demon King, so I was curious about what it would be like to say that all the trash holding each other’s hands was over.”
“ha ha ha···. indeed. There’s a reason Archduke Alkyn told you to keep an eye on it.”
“Will blood come out of my eyes just because I put so much force on it?”
“It could come out of your eye color.”
The guy growled. Gordon shuddered at the explosion of life. I grabbed him behind my back and killed him.
“I don’t know what you believe in to be so cocky.”
“Because you’re a good-looking chief that you’ve never done before.”
“You’re going to be the bastard who insulted the standard.”
“Did you throw away your pride as a Demon King while the standard was so important?”
Life became more intense. It pressed against the skin thick and sticky.
He covered his nose and frowned.
“I want you to clean your mouth. I’m a little sensitive.”
“Yeah, if you dare to ignore the standards at the graduation ceremony, you must have this kind of guts.”
“The story is going to be long, but you don’t even get a cup of tea when we talk here.”
Drakson glanced at the beast behind him. Suin brought a large chunk of meat and handed it to me.
“amazing. Do you guys drink meat?”
“We eat nothing but meat and blood.”
“To be ignorant.”
I found a document enclosed with the meat.
“Pretending to be inappropriate.”
“Shut up and read.”
👌👌👌👌
An official document made of paper from the Demon Realm was opened. Drakson recited the contents.
“This is a message from His Excellency Archduke Alkyin. The Demon King Berge Deias, according to the great standard, kidnap a prince or princess within the next month and report the progress.”
“If the order is not followed, the system authority of the tower given to the Demon King Berge Deias will be deprived.”
under. He closed his mouth to bring it to the meat. My appetite was gone.
I don’t think I’m going to keep it, so you’re going to force me to nail it?
As far as using other demon lords to pressure you?
Park-
threw a chunk of meat I stomped on it.
“Thank you for the hospitality, but I have a high-class mouth. I can’t eat cheap stuff like this.”
The faces of the beasts hardened fiercely.
“We have no intention of forcing our tastes on an idiot.”
“That’s right, you’re generous.”
“You haven’t answered yet.”
“Did you say that if you don’t comply, you will lose the tower’s system privileges?”
chock-
I tore up the official document.
Draxson’s indignant roar was heard through the scraps of paper fluttering in all directions.
“Dare you, the Archduke’s message!”
“Don’t worry. Because I was planning to do it even if it wasn’t for such a forced order.”
So.
“Don’t order me, you bastard.”
because it smells
* * *
“Alternatively, alternately, alternately!”
Gordon screamed.
“Why are you like that!”
“Is there a problem? After all, battles between demon lords are prohibited. Draxson can’t break that. Because the brain is a beast, it obeys its master more faithfully.”
“I know that! Other than that, why did you rip the Grand Duke’s orders!”
oh, that was it
“Don’t worry. Like I said, the princess will be kidnapped anyway. The tower system does not stop.”
“Isn’t that a problem now?”
“That is the problem. I was going to do it without having to do it, but in that case, it sounds like you’re listening to orders, right?”
“What’s wrong with listening to the orders of the Grand Duke?”
“I wish we had a good breakup.”
I didn’t have any bad impressions in my previous life. But that’s the past. The current person has taken away all of my rights and is nothing more than a piece of crap that threatened me.
Gordon changed the subject to my determination.
“…but didn’t you say that you don’t follow the standard?”
“It’s not entirely standard, and there’s no need to reject even useful things.”
“Well, what kind of princess? From what I knew before coming here, among the kingdoms of the northern part of the continent…”
“I would have told you, but you wouldn’t be following the standard.”
“You mean you won’t kidnap a princess from a nearby kingdom?”
They would have thought that when I opened the first gun gate, I had no choice but to move according to the standard.
This is because, when the first tower of the standard has already been built and the second abduction in succession, the next stage flows naturally regardless of the demon king.
The angry king will donate money to the Heroes’ Guild to retrieve the lost child, and the heroes will move.
But I have no desire to meet those expectations.
Close your eyes for a moment, and the system that comes to mind informs you of the status of the tower.

A miserable look.
In this situation, if it flows like water, you will be eliminated.
So, even if you are kidnapped, you have to aim for a princess who doesn’t care much, or a kingdom that doesn’t even have the strength to fight against it.
Fortunately, I knew one such princess.
A long time ago, one day in a previous life.
It must have been when I touched the strongest country in Arain.
At that time, my relationship with other demon lords was the worst, and I was struggling quite a bit due to the sudden rush of heroes.
At that time, a demon king came to me.
A particularly stupid person among demon lords who lived in my own good taste. If there was something to be proud of, I remember that it was a cheap bastard that I couldn’t stand without boasting.
He complained very much about my suffering.
‘I don’t listen to you because I told you not to touch the Imperial Princess. No matter how good you are, Araine is completely different from the other dimensions? I should have carved the advice of my seniors deep into my bones.’
‘Look at me. The world is comfortable with kidnapping a bitch who is a princess but no one cares. I don’t know if you know that the king is a weak hero or honey that comes from time to time.’
Without knowing that he would have lost his life immediately if the battle between the Demon Lords had not been banned, he disappeared in joy and happiness.
“At the time, I wanted to pull out all my teeth, but this is so helpful.”
“What does that mean?”
“It means that we have decided which princess of which kingdom to kidnap.”
“Where are you?”
“The southernmost point of the continent, the 13th princess of the Kingdom of Hilderan.”
The king’s illegitimate son, who is weak and cannot even get married by arrangement.
it’s her
