Camouflage infiltration
Preparation is over.
No matter how Leon was, it was unreasonable to subdue all demons in this land without any preparation.
Therefore, when his mother was kidnapped, Leon has been resolving the things he regretted not being able to prepare for, one by one.
It’s like losing a cow and repairing a barn, but it’s a success in growing Leon’s power.
A place where you can protect your loved ones even when you are away.
That was the magic tower for Leon, and it was also a country called the Veritas Magic Kingdom.
Now, Leon has created a force that can resist the forces led by the Demon King of Destruction and the demons.
However, one important issue remained.
‘They don’t know where he is.’
Perhaps Mellit Flare Farostel is hiding somewhere in the southern part of the Radiant Continent occupied by the demons, but even if it is simply the southern part, the land area is quite large.
Even if he blindly led all the forces of Veritas and started a war, if he didn’t want to fight Leon, it would have been possible to hide.
In other words, it meant that the first condition was to accurately identify the location of the gnome in order to safely return the mother to it.
Fortunately, Leon had a way out.
“His Majesty, Emperor Fairn.”
[Long time no see. Sir Leon. I think about it every time, but this radio thing is really strange. How is it possible to communicate from such a long distance?]
Leon was the king of a country that officially betrayed the Philo Empire and established a new country by becoming independent, but in reality, isn’t it different?
Leon excavated an artifact that acts like a walkie-talkie, long-distance communication, from the wreckage of the Tower of Truth, which had been destroyed by the Demon King of Destruction, and delivered it to the emperor of the Philo Empire, Fayrn Philost, and through it, they were communicating without anyone knowing. will be.
“It’s ready.”
[···is it. It’s not that I don’t believe you, but is it really possible?]
“I did the best I could. And there is no more time.”
In the meantime, the Philo Empire has earned time by attaching various conditions to the proposal of the Demon King of Destruction.
The arranged marriage of Ailee Philost, the princess of the Philo Empire, and the Demon King.
As long as the Demon King of Destruction dreams of conquering without blood through him, even in the Philo Empire, various conditions can be attached.
Of course, if it is the Demon King of Destruction and his forces, it is possible to rule by force.
However, the fact that he did not do so and kidnapped Princess Ailee was also an expression of his intention to destroy this country.
It is probably an expression of the desire for power that has remained since the days of human beings before becoming a demon.
He wants to rule not just the land, but the humans living on the land as they are.
However, recently, his patience has been showing signs of coming to a limit, so it has become difficult to hold on to this ideal.
Thus, it lures the Demon King of Destruction to a specific place.
[Then I will accept the marriage.]
The method was simple.
The wedding of the Demon King and the Princess.
Because the demon king, who is the party to the wedding, can’t be absent.
Of course, it is a ridiculous story that the kidnapped princess and the demon king even have to hold a wedding, but it was possible because Ailee was the princess of the Philo Empire.
The Philo Empire was a stubborn country that valued tradition to such an extent that it was thoroughly protecting human pure blood, which was already treated as an outdated way of thinking in other countries.
At least, in order for the Philo Empire to be subordinated to the country led by the Demon King, it is necessary to show the people a convincing show.
If the Demon King of Destruction was from an ordinary Demon tribe, such a feat would not work, but the Demon Lord of Destruction was also born and raised as a nobleman of the Philo Empire, so he understood and understood such a fact.
In order to subjugate the Philo Empire in a true sense, it is necessary to respect tradition.
Leon didn’t like the Philo Empire, which was united with such customs, but this time he was able to get a chance thanks to it.
So the wedding date was set.
Two months later, a wedding is held in the capital of the Demon Kingdom of Moros, named after Moros, the demon of destruction.
At this time, it was compelled that all the nobles of the leadership, including the emperor of the Philo Empire, should participate to celebrate the marriage of the Demon King and the Princess.
By entering the capital of an enemy country without an escort in a human body, it is intended to prove obedience and use it as a kind of living witness.
And, of course, to the wedding, the owner of the Water Tower, Marquis Libert Vince Rothbane, was also invited.
Arya Rothbane, who is considered to be the influential successor, is also included.
Leon was going to infiltrate the wedding as Arya Rossbane’s fiancée, disguised as the son of a high-ranking mage family belonging to the Tower of Water.
Of course, Leon’s face was already known to the demons, so he had to change his appearance, but it wasn’t difficult.
“Electron skin.”
The Bondi Electron Skin is a magic that expands the boundaries of the electrons that make up Leon’s body.
It’s not just that.
By changing the characteristics of electrons to adjust the absorption and reflection of visible light, Leon’s sunset-colored hair changed to bright platinum blonde, and her clear eyes that seemed to contain the sky were dyed dark and deep.
The towering bridge of the nose is slightly lowered, and the cheekbones widen, changing the impression.
In the past, to develop this magic, an activated light wheel scatters light and asserts, “I’m using magic!”
The Electron skin, equivalent to the third circle of quantum magic, was now able to unfold for a long time without being detected by others.
His name is Paul Trait.
When Leon changed into the attire with the insignia of the Counts of Trey, Arya looked at Leon with a slightly startled expression.
“Leon? Are you really Leon?”
“no. My name is Paul Trait?”
“It’s really Leon’s voice…”
Arya covered her mouth and was surprised to see Leon’s completely changed appearance.
I heard that you change your appearance with magic, but I don’t think people can change like this.
Of course, it wasn’t the first time Arya had seen Leon’s Electron skin, but the Electron Skin that Leon had been using so far looked like it had grown old.
He never thought that he would be able to disguise himself as someone else by applying that magic.
“You already know, but if you go through this door, you can’t accidentally call me Leon from the outside.”
When Leon erased his playful expression and said, Arya gently put her arms around Leon with a playful expression on her face.
“I know. pole.”
“…what is this?”
Leon was panicked and tried to unclench his arms, but Arya grabbed Leon’s arm even more strongly.
“Because we are fiances, if we don’t show a friendly side to each other, we will be suspicious of the demons who will lead us all the way to Moros Demon Kingdom.”
Leon was speechless at Arya’s plausible excuse.
But for simple acting, Aria’s expression is more lively than usual.
“Your expression is bright after being reluctant to go through? Could it be acting?”
At Leon’s words like that, Arya whispered softly with a shy expression, perhaps because of late recognition of her expression.
“Even though it’s acting, did you even get engaged to Leon? Of course it has to be good.”
Leon was taken aback for a moment at those words, but Arya was even more nervous than Leon, hurriedly leading Leon’s arm and headed outside.
“Even if it’s too late, you’ll get suspicious. let’s hurry.”
And in the place where the door was opened and exited, along with the numerous nobles who were invited to the wedding, demons were gathered to escort them to the Demon Kingdom of Moros.
Of course, it would be more like a prisoner of war transport than an escort.
There, a demon familiar to Leon was waiting for him.
One of the four duke-level demons that invaded Reeves’ hometown of Peace Forest.
He was the commander of the third outpost.
When Leon destroyed three outposts and dealt with the remnants of the Peace Forest, he checked Leon’s face and walked out without looking back.
At the time, Leon, who was subjugating the demons with the thought of picking up trash, felt uncomfortable because he missed him and left the bathroom without even wiping his back, but he didn’t expect to meet him here.
He looked around and suddenly met Leon’s gaze.
The guy who looked at Leon up and down as if he was suspicious of something immediately approached Leon.
‘Did you find any traces of magic?’
In terms of magic, even a duke-level demon cannot follow Leon’s footsteps, but the demon’s horns are sensitive to the wavelength of magic.
You may experience strange sensations in areas of which you are not conscious of yourself.
But what he suspected was not magic.
[Boy, what’s your name?]
“It’s Paul Trait.”
At Leon’s confident reply, he frowned for a moment.
If it hadn’t been for the order of the Demon King not to harm the nobles invited to the wedding, he would have had his head pulled out at once, but it was an expression of dissatisfaction that he couldn’t.
Then he looked up Paul Trait’s name in the list of guests he had in his hand, found nothing was wrong, and then asked.
[okay. Paul Trait. The second son of the Earl of Trey and the fiance of Arya Rosbane, the influential heir to the Marquis of Rothbane. Heh, all the stars are invited. So, have you ever seen me before?]
“Who are you?”
[…] the words are short. Do you want to shorten your name? I am Beleus, the Grand Duke of the Demon Kingdom of Moros. If you are weak, show courtesy to the strong like the weak.]
Leon snorted inwardly.
Seeing Leon, he trembled in fear and ran away in a hurry without looking back. His funny face is still good in his eyes, but it’s a courtesy to the strong.
Perhaps that emotion had escaped? Seeing the smile on Leon’s lips, Belleus raised his eyes for a moment.
[You guys, you look like him.]
“He?”
When Leon asked, Belleus clenched his teeth and trembled.
Gnome, Leon Farostel Veritas.
The illegitimate child born of the Demon King of Destruction, and the only new human race recognized as a deity equal to the Seven Gods of Heaven in the Holy Empire.
The smile he had when he looked at him and smiled was very similar to the human in front of him now.
Without realizing it, my life soared, and people around me collapsed like dominoes and had seizures.
Those who had mastered magic and martial arts resisted a little, but no one could stand on their two feet.
This human, the man with the same smile as the newcomer, was still standing on his own two feet and looking up at his face.
With a girl holding arms together.
When fighting on the battlefield, sometimes there is such a guy.
A human being with little influence from the magic wave, regardless of whether his head is turned or not.
These male and female humans seemed to be the kind of humans whose heads were turned around just because they played with each other.
In my mind, I wanted to test my limits by raising my life until he went completely crazy, but the humans around him were already out of breath and on the verge of death.
If we continue to live longer than this, humans may actually die.
Belleus warned him by killing the sage and poking his finger in the chest.
[The demon king’s order was not to harm the wedding guests, not humans. Do you know what that means? After the marriage is over, you are no longer invited. I look forward to that time.]
And Belleus smiled, turned his back, and immediately shouted to those who were breathing.
[Get on the wagon. The Demon King is waiting.]
Looking at Belleus’s back like that, Leon muttered while brushing off the clothes he had touched.
“Where do you put your dirty hands? Please reserve your first victim.”
Leon was also looking forward to marriage.
