187. negotiating table
Beast King Raizel was sitting in his office, dealing with his headaches. His glossy golden mane drooped, to the point where anyone who knew Raizel would be surprised to see what he ate wrong.
Normally, he was bold and bold, and he was a man who was the realization of the word king.
Right now, my energy was draining from worry.
The problem is none other than the three criminals who are now imprisoned in the dungeon under his feet.
Three people were arrested on the charge of killing a woman from the Ho family, a prestigious family among the prisoners.
One of them is Jaguar Backflin, the captain of the stealthy claws, his loyal servant. Of the three criminals, he was the easiest to execute, but he was the person he wanted to save the most in his heart.
Another is Meister Hassim Belok, one of the masters of the seven heaviest dwarves. Even in prison, the image of the man who revealed himself proudly while fiddling with his gray beard is still vivid in his mind.
Things would have been less serious if he had killed him without knowing, but things got complicated when the damn dwarf quickly revealed who he was.
And last.
Truly a giant among giants.
Among the elves, a woman with a mission to protect the tribe with a single body for a long time.
Keeper of Yggdrasil.
Eris Ann Seriller.
Her strength was difficult to gauge. If he had to fight the beast king himself, he could be confident that he would win with a probability of more than half.
‘It’s great to have a chance to lose.’
For the beasts, the possibility of defeating the beast king, who is called the apex of nothing, was a great strength.
Wouldn’t it be great if the world could only be determined by strength?
After the beast king learned the identities of the three people, he tried to let them go if possible. In the case of Jaguar Backflin, it ended with a simple punishment.
Because even though he was a big man, he was too big.
Although the elves and dwarves do not like each other very much, they have been holding hands and holding diplomatic negotiations to save Eris and Hatshim.
I wanted to get it moderately and get an apology and end it. Of course, Eris and the others never killed Horan, the daughter of the Ho family.
I believed it because Jaguar Bagplin, who was no different from his own limbs, clearly affirmed it.
Eris and Hashim were also reviewing it positively to see if they understood that, too.
The problem, of course, was the Ho family.
Ho-baek, the owner of the house, put out a bluff saying that he should never let them go.
In a fit of rage, Ho-baek made a resolution to die, asking where he would recklessly release those who killed his daughter.
‘The situation of actually gathering troops was captured.’
It was said that a rebellion could arise if the prisoners were released by mistake.
Of course, Beast King Raizel had absolute confidence in his throne. No matter how well-versed the Ho family is in martial arts, they cannot surpass themselves.
The problem is that the beastmen are dying through the rebellion, and the other families following the Ho family one after another.
It was smaller than the nobles who served Beast King Raizel, but if they were swept away by the Ho family and rebelled together, the beastmen would fall into chaos again.
“Did serving strength have so many side effects?”
The strong become the king of beasts.
At first glance, it looked romantic, but in reality it was just a bloody throne.
Citizens who believed in strength are now tired of shedding blood.
It was Raizer’s honest feeling that he wanted to solve it peacefully if possible.
“Lungs, Your Majesty! It’s Dear! Will you be all right for a moment!”
Hearing an urgent voice from outside the door, Reijer stopped thinking and ordered him to come in as there was no problem. However, the problem that Deere, a close entourage of his, brought along continued with the troubles until now.
“Criminals in the basement are trying to escape!”
“what?”
what kind of bullsh*t is this
I’ve already talked to the Watchman and Meister, so I guess I’ll just wait quietly if possible?
Reijer jumped up and started moving straight to the dungeon, squeezing his feet.
Still, he asks Deer who follows him.
“The Ho family?”
“I don’t know. I have strengthened the rules of entry and exit of the guards.”
“Nice job, please continue to explain the situation.”
“All right! first……”
What Dear said as they hurriedly descended toward the dungeon was a bit shocking even to the Beast King. That the fourth prisoner who escaped has returned.
In addition to that, he even invaded the palace without causing any disturbance.
As the owner of the palace, Raizel arrived at the prison with his fists clenched in a situation where he could only be humiliated.

‘Is that man the water king?’
A collapsed Rin and Adrina nursing her.
I put my hand out of the Eris bar and was treating Rin with Adrina, and I stood in front of them as if to protect them.
A confrontation that took place longer than expected.
The beast with long antlers on his forehead, who had just checked the status quo and rushed to him, was the king of beasts.
A golden mane, a broad appearance.
With the face of a lion, he was speaking with dignity, who could be the ruler of this land except himself.
‘It’s strong, it’s strong.’
It was definitely strong.
Due to the nature of the combative beasts, the king had to have more power than anyone else, and the beast king Raizer met the conditions.
How about compared to Kulika?
I couldn’t shake the impression that it was still far away.
I feel again that Sesam Kulika is amazing.
“Who are you?”
Raizel’s voice erupted with subtle anger. Eris had already explained the overall situation, so there was no interruption in the conversation.
“Daniel MacLaine, you are human.”
If you give strength to the wolf ears rising above your head, it will disappear along with the tail as it changes into mana.
The guards around him let out exclamations in surprise, but the beast king did not waver at all.
“Beast King Raizerda. Why did you try to escape them?”
“It’s true that I tried to break out. But I just heard about your situation and current situation.”
I just knew that if we break the three of them out now, there could be a mutiny.
Had I known right away that the Eris was in a non-dangerous situation, I wouldn’t have moved so hastily.
“Then I will just leave. Is this what you mean?”
The Beast King who touched the tip of his mane as if it were interesting. I decided to answer honestly.
“For now, I will. But it will depend on what you decide to do.”
The atmosphere becomes harsh.
The guards, of course, and the deer antler’s aide behind them also changed their ugly face and had the momentum to stab me to death at any moment.
They were silently saying that they were treating their king recklessly.
“All right, Daniel?”
At Eris’ trembling that she was worried, I relaxed with a slight smile. Raizer’s side also instructed the guards to bring their own sword.
“It’s really silly. You’re talking as if you’ve got the upper hand on this negotiating table.”
“Um, the beasts give an edge to most things by strength. I thought this negotiation was going to go that way.”
He calmly made eye contact with Raizer.
The spirit of victory and jealousy read in his eyes was burning softly like a blue flame.
“Of course you thought I had the upper hand?”
“You bastard!”
The deer antler’s aide eventually couldn’t stand it and vomited. In this land, the act of ignoring the king is none other than ignoring all of the beasts.
Still, I did not back down.
“I’m not going to take Eris with me right now. This is a negotiation, but it is also a declaration of war. If you turn to harm Eris in any way.”
“……”
Slowly raising his hand, he put the sword towards the beast king’s neck.
“From then on, we will not look after your kingdom. It’s up to you, the king, to figure it out.”
“nice.”
The king smirked. He covered his mouth and smiled for a while, then slowly lowered his hand and said a monologue.
“It’s nice, boy.”
I am giving time now.
If you take Eris right away, you will know how difficult the Beast King is. So take care of the situation before we take her away.
If not, we will take Eris no matter what happens in the Land of Beasts.
“We have a saying, a snake’s tongue cannot bite a lion.”
“……”
“It means that actions do not follow slick words.”
The huge treasured sword that the two of them managed to bring was wrapped around Raizel’s hand.
As if to ventilate his aching head, he stepped forward with a cheerful smile.
“Where are you a snake or a lion. Let me guess.”
