057. Negotiation
Before returning, that was the case.
The Berges of the past, filled with self-righteousness and arrogance, and the belief and worship of the standard, were like a galloping wagon.
They kidnapped dozens of princesses. Numerous originals have become magic. It ate the life force of the heroes and humans who found the tower.
continuation of a virtuous cycle. Mistaking that it was all because of his greatness, he made a handshake that he shouldn’t have done.
The kidnapping of the Crown Prince of the Jasmine Empire.
The empire was turned upside down and the continents rose up.
The Empire’s large army and the Hero’s Guild completely united and drove the tower.
I survived the first one or two. However, humans did not know giving up, and he became increasingly exhausted and exhausted. It was in the midst of this that I happened to meet the Demon King of another tower.
‘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.’
It was a weakness that should not be revealed by the demon king’s mouth.
At that time, Berge laughed at such a demon king.
‘You don’t look ashamed of wearing the devil’s mask. It is also questionable how a guy like you completed the Demon King Military Academy.’
But now I know. Berge was wrong and he was right.
The Demon King, Ugar Belbek, was judging Alain more accurately than anyone else.
What he put in his mouth at that time was the 13th Princess of Hilderan.
A princess who was originally supposed to kidnap Berge, but she was too weak to even marry an arranged marriage.
“…that princess was kidnapped by Ugar again?”
“… again. What does it mean?”
“It is nothing.”
Strictly speaking, it wasn’t ‘again’. But for Berge it was again.
After the return, Berge walked a different path than before. History was turned upside down by his actions. But why is Ugar acting the same as before?
‘Maybe the future has already been decided…’
I struggled to push away the ominous feeling that ran through my mind. If that had been the case, Draxson would not have died.
“Exactly when and where.”
“Last night, the 13th Princess left for recuperation at the villa.”
Yesterday, it had been just three days since Ugar said he wanted to purchase Magi.
“But seeing that you are surprised, I don’t think it was agreed upon?”
“No need to think, Hillen. You must have guessed it.”
“I’m sorry if I went off topic. I heard at first glance that there was an exchange between demon lords.”
At first glance.
“Cut it off.”
“Yes, Demon Lord.”
smart-
As soon as communication was cut off, someone knocked on the door. I didn’t ask because I knew who it was.
“Come in.”
Ernya cautiously raised her head.
“·················ogue.”
“What’s going on?”
“Can I sit down for a moment?”
“Sit down.”
she sat in front There was silence for a moment.
“I hate procrastination.”
“…I know it’s rude, but I heard about it earlier.”
ok
Until recently, he had been walking around the first floor, checking out Logger’s works. About halfway through, Gordon hurriedly jumped down.
‘My lord! Demon Lord Ugar has kidnapped the 13 Princesses of Hilderan!’
Then he returned to his office and started communicating with Hillen Cargill.
On the first floor, there was Ernn as well as him and Logger. did you hear heard. In fact, it was harder not to listen.
“Is it true that Elena was kidnapped?”
“If that’s the name of the 13th Princess.”
“Right. Externally, the 13th Princess is Elena.”
“Externally?”
“ah.”
Ernya shut her mouth. It was a different atmosphere than usual. It was strangely excited and unstable. There was no need to find out what the cause was.
“Are you worried?”
“He is a child with limited mobility. If you are kidnapped by the Demon King and you are subjected to harsh things…”
“therefore?”
“·················ogue.”
“Why are you telling me that?”
she bit her lip
knew What an absurd thing to say to the Demon King.
However.
“Help.”
Ernap did just that.
“Did I hear you right?”
“You heard me right. Please save Elena.”
“I am the Demon King.”
“I am a princess.”
“The 13th Princess was kidnapped by the Demon King.”
“If you are going to be kidnapped by the Demon King, please kidnap him.”
This conversation was somehow familiar.
‘Is that time?’
When Hillen Cargill’s Bravery Begins and is pushed into a corner.
Berge asked Ernapp to live. Stand by your side and stop the hero.
She did that and was able to get through the crisis more easily than expected. It was safe to say that I owed a lot of debt.
But that doesn’t mean you have to pay it back. He paid the price with the elixir. Even if he didn’t pay, he wasn’t a good demon king enough to repay the favour.
“The way was wrong.”
“I will tell you all the slush funds of the kingdom nobles I know.”
“That’s a bit tempting.”
It is now just a kingdom at the southern tip of the continent, but it was once a great empire that ruled the continent.
Did they say that even if a rich man perishes, it will last three years? Although incomparable to when it was an Empire, Hilderan was still a power.
Such is their slush fund.
Perhaps he would get more gold coins than the gold he received from Jason for his magic.
But he did not immediately nod his head.
“lack.”
“What do you want?”
“I can’t believe you.”
“Have I broken anything so far?”
none. She kept everything she said. He faithfully helped Berge.
But that doesn’t give you any reason to trust her. Ernn is hiding something. Unless it was revealed, Berge couldn’t trust her forever.
‘No.’
Would you believe it even if I confessed to it? I couldn’t be sure. Because humans aren’t really a trustworthy race.
“That and belief are two different things.”
“You’re wondering why I’m not trying to get out of the tower.”
“I will not deny it.”
After hesitating for a moment, Ernya opened her mouth.
“Do you know the magic of Ai, the World Tree?”
* * *
“welcome.”
A rough rocky mountain was visible. The wind blew through the rocks.
“The lieutenant serving Ugar-sama is called Cocoon.”
“Are you a titan?”
“Yes.”
At the height of over 4m, Berge frowned. It was annoying to have to keep my head up.
“Ugar?”
“I am waiting inside.”
profit-
The door to the tower opened.
‘9th floor.’
Just before Berge’s death, the tower that had gone up to the 11th floor was now standing still without more than two seats.
And the moment I looked around the inside of the tower, I noticed something strange.
“A lot?”
“Yes.”

Monsters full of almost limit.He suddenly said he was going to buy Magic Points, but was it to summon a monster?
It wasn’t limited to the first floor. Until I reached the top of the 9th floor, I kept getting the feeling that there were too many monsters.
This is because the tower felt narrow due to insufficient reinforcement.
“Demon Lord, I have brought the Demon King of Berge.”
“I was waiting.”
Ugar sat down on the throne and pressed the rising hologram. He came down from the throne by purchasing a contract from the Demon Realm.
“Check it out.”
The content was the same as the conversation. Berge infused with Magi and signed it.
“Cocoon.”
“Yes.”
“Bring me gold coins.”
Cocoon brought a thick pocket. Berge put it in the subspace.
“You kidnapped the new princess?”
“okay.”
“I heard you are the princess of Hilderan.”
“It is precisely the 13th Princess of Hilderan. He is so sickly that he cannot even get married by arrangement. The king is not interested, so there is no big problem…”
oh
“So, I’m curious. Would you say that this is not like a Demon King, or would you say that it was a good thing because it was a shortcut in the standard?”
“Well···.”
A finger tapped the table.
“If I had to ask, it would be the latter.”
“Unexpected.”
“Surprised?”
“You just hate the standard, I thought you were an arrogant demon.”
“The reason is?”
“You hit the Grand Duke and Draxson?”
“It is not the demons who avoid the coming battle.”
“But the opponent is a great attack.”
“So, even if you get hit by one, you follow me quietly because you’re scared? You’re too scared for your size.”
“Do not insult me. Top and bottom clothes are natural.”
Ugar growled.
“When I arrived, I saw that it was filled with too many monsters. He bought me a magi and suddenly kidnapped the princess…”
“Following the Magi is the natural thing to do as a Demon King. What does that mean?”
“It’s scary.”
“··········!”
“Aren’t you afraid to become woo/ga/le after being decapitated by heroes like Drakson?”
“I am the Demon Lord, Ugarda! How do you think a human hero can do anything to me!”
Ugar hit the desk. Shattered fragments scattered with a bang.
The rich life ran through the entire floor like a running horse.
It was a dignity worthy of a Demon King. But why does it feel like a frightened dog?
History has changed. The future has also changed.
It was all because of Berge’s return.
As he decided to take a different path, the relationship between demon lords and humans changed as he walked a different path.
I made a relationship with a lie that had no connection and the harsh cold.
The beast that survived and climbed the tower to the 16th floor died.
There, a new year named Vivian was filled with arrogance toward herself like a normal demon king and had an accident.
The humans were angry, and the atmosphere between the demon king and humans was heightened.
then.
How will the cowardly bald man react at this point in time when the beast he trusted with and depended on has died?
It was simple.
as it looks now.
You’ll get scared and overreact.
“That’s right, he’s trying to buy a magi from me, and he’s been quiet all this time and kidnapped the new princess. I heard you kidnapped not only the 13 princesses of Hilderan, but also the 8 princes of Hessen, right?”
“What does that mean? Again, it is natural for the Demon King to covet Magi.”
“What filled the tower with monsters?”
“Isn’t it strange that there are monsters in the tower?”
“It would be strange if there were more than necessary.”
“What do you want to say? Tell me the gist.”
“Hmm.”
The corners of Berge’s lips rose.
“You look like a scared rat, Ugar.”
“··········!”
“Poor little mouse who struggles to survive, but does not come down with a cord.”
“You bastard…!”
Ugar stood up. The size of over 5m created a sense of intimidation by itself.
Berger calmly folded his arms.
“You seem to be ignoring me just because you graduated from the military academy, but it’s been decades since I became a Demon King. Like you…”
“You leave so many princes and princesses alone and always kidnap only the last ones? Things in the kingdom that you don’t care about, but you don’t need to worry too much about.”
“…how do you do that?”
“It’s a lot of trouble. In order to choose such ambiguous things, prior research is essential, and you have to consider the situation and the environment.”
It looks simple, but it’s never been that simple. There were only a couple of things to consider, such as the relationship between the prince and the princess, and the compromise with the kingdoms.
The fact that an ignorant and simple Ugar would do such a thing was amazing in itself. That means the desire for life is strong.
“If you wish.”
Around that time, Berger slowly threw the bait.
“I can tell you.”
“What do you mean?”
“All the princes and princesses I know who meet your needs.”
“··········!”
“Instead, I have one condition.”
he laughed Ugar’s pupils shook.
