078. Future work

As all the demon dogs died, Akan’s plan went awry.

Naturally, the schedule was delayed.

“Sister, can you recreate the Demon Dog?”

“hour.”

“How much?”

Lavinia spread her hands. Cain was delighted, but the ten days weren’t really ten days.

“no.”

“Oh, you need a wolf?”

“yes.”

“Are there any by-products of monsters?”

“nothing.”

“I will send a message to the kingdom and airlift the materials.”

It was called a demon dog, but it was basically a wolf. The wolf’s body is overlaid with the magic of a monster, making it extremely sensitive to magic.

Although his fighting ability was not excellent, he was more than just a few warriors or wizards in finding Magi.

So I took at least 2 to 3 weeks of time.

Cain did not spend that period in vain.

“Ask a guide who knows Erzest well through the Mercenary Guild and the Intelligence Guild.”

“If there is anyone who knows even a little about the type, environment, and terrain of the monsters that live in Erzest, I will give you a big reward.”

Lot of money was released

The Akan Kingdom had quite high expectations for this event, and if a little bit of money could produce a better result, they could afford to spend as much as they could.

But that’s it.

“You have a guest.”

“Guest?”

“Yes. You seem to know a lot about Erzest. But…”

“How?”

“Granada is an elf.”

“Red hawk raid?”

It was unexpected that Granada and the red hawk raid would catch the giants.

“Healen Cargill has sent me.”

What if it was an intentional approach and not a coincidence?

* * *

When the raids of Granada and the Red Hawks first came, Cain was delighted.

“If it’s Granada and the Red Hawk raid…”

“Healan Cargill’s raid.”

“Healan Cargill . . .”

A hero who proved his worth by killing the demon king of lust, making his name known, and killing even the demon king of beasts.

Now, as an argan of the guild, he is trying to carry not only his skills but also his powers on his back.

That alone cannot be ignored, but recently, another ball has been set up and the continent has been buzzing.

“I heard that you saved the princess of the dwarf kingdom from being kidnapped by the demon king of lust.”

“Yes.”

“Is it true? It’s hard to believe that we can know in advance what the Demon King is kidnapping.”

“I think it was a coincidence. The reason why Hillen Cargill went to the Dwarven Kingdom was the envoy of the Heroes’ Guild.”

“I went as an envoy and got involved with the princess, but coincidentally, the demon king tried to kidnap me at that time?”

“Yes.”

“You are lucky.”

“It’s not just luck. No matter how brave you are, it is not easy to find a demon king who is determined and secretive, so in the end…”

“Healan Cargill is that great.”

Well, if the hero who killed the two demon kings was normal, it would be even more strange.

“Anyway, it’s not like you didn’t know beforehand that the Demon King was kidnapped.”

“That is impossible.”

“It would be. But why is his limb on Hortonwalk?”

“I will meet and talk about it in person.”

“Then we should meet. Tell me to come.”

After a while, Granada arrived.

“I see you, Prince of Akan. My name is Granada, the warrior of the Maple Tribe.”

“This is Cain Akan.”

He was an elf with green hair and dark green pupils. The muscles visible through the light leather armor were quite impressive.

“Sit. coffee? car? What do you eat?”

“Yes, by car, please.”

At his beckoning, the knight who had brought Granada went out. After a while, the servant brought tea and refreshments.

“It is a tea made from dried leaves of Jarbin. It won’t smell bad.”

“Yes, thank you.”

Granada savored the aroma of tea. Cain chewed on the soft cookie.

“I heard that you are looking for a guide who knows Erzest well.”

It was Granada that got lucky first.

“Yes.”

“I think I can help.”

“What exactly?”

“The Red Falcon raid, including myself, had experience climbing Erzest by joining Hillen-sama’s bravery in the past. Although I did not find the tower, I have been digging the mountain for quite some time, and I think this experience will be helpful to Your Majesty.”

“Of course it helps.”

Cain did not deny it.

“But the doubts are also true.”

An unexpected tycoon came at the right time. Can I take this without any doubt?

“What part are you talking about?”

“I heard that Hillen Cargill is in the Werft Kingdom.”

“There was. Now we are going back to the Heroes’ Guild, and only me and the Red Hawk raid have come here separately.”

“Why?”

“As you may know, the Red Hawks raid was originally a mercenary corps. They spent several years at Hortonworks and considered it their home. Now I’m on a short vacation to get some peace of mind.”

that is.

“Are you too forceful?”

“Yes.”

“Sent from Hero Hillen Cargill.”

“That one makes more sense.”

But the question still remained as to whether it was a little closer to the truth.

“Why did Hillen Cargill send you to us? And how did you know we were here?”

“You know what? We failed without even finding the Tower of the Demon King in the past.”

“No one knows that.”

“But you don’t know what it is. How many people became food for monsters, how many died from freezing in the cold snow. How did you feel watching it?”

“···I understand.”

“Healan, we still have the nightmare of that day. I will never forget it, and I am pondering the day of revenge.”

“That’s everyone….”

No one likes failure. No one wants to repeat failure. And it is the human psychology to repay you as much as you have suffered.

“But there are not many who act directly.”

“behavior?”

“The city closest to Erzest, the last city the Heroes have reached, and the city where the Demon King kidnapped the Jespine Princess. We planted people here on Hortonwalk.”

“For what?”

“To find the Demon King and Demons.”

“Do you think the Demon King will come to Horton Walk?”

“The princess was kidnapped at Horton Walk. If you did it once, wouldn’t it be possible to do it twice?”

“Isn’t that too optimistic?”

Cain questioned. The huge mountain range, Erzest, bordered only three kingdoms and countless cities.

Among them, Hortonwalk is the closest and most famous city, but there are countless ways to reach the continent from the mountains.

There is no guarantee that it will surely come down to the city.

“Well, that optimism paid off.”

“What if the harvest?”

“How could we have saved the Princess of Werft?”

“It was coincidentally for the sake of an agreement at the guild level…”

Cain’s pupils widened.

“It’s just an external report conscious of the public’s attention.”

“No, wait. No matter how many people are planted in Horton Walk, isn’t the demon king of salt and the demon king of lust different?”

“Isn’t there a meeting between demon lords?”

A secret that doesn’t even seem like a secret. It was a fact that any high-ranking member of the famous kingdom would know.

“under.”

Cain chuckled.

“What passed through Horton Walk?”

“It was a succubus. We tracked it down and it ended up being Werft. If in doubt, you can ask Her Majesty Princess Louise Werft.”

“There is no way you can ask that directly.”

Cain, who knew the crazy rumors of Louise, had no intention of doing so.

Granada continued.

“The horses counted to the side for a while, but it gave me an idea of what Akan was trying to do at Hortonworks. And Hero Hillen, we didn’t want to miss this opportunity.”

“…what do you want?”

“Please find the tower. We will help you both physically and mentally!”

You only need one!

Granada exclaimed desperately.

‘After following Hillen Cargill, I think my acting has improved a bit too.’

A single tear fell.

* * *

A little reluctant, but persuaded, Cain gave up an entire annex of the lord’s castle to Granada and the Red Hawk raid.

“I think I will be invited to the permanent residence while I live.”

The former mercenary commander, Bark, looked around the view of the lord’s castle.

“Don’t do it like a peasant.”

“That sounds right. The name of the raid is like a mercenary from a village…”

“Were you all village mercenaries?”

Granada turned to the driver who guided them, leaving behind the chatter of the crew.

‘It doesn’t look like a knight from Hortonworks.’

It wasn’t a very long time, but Granada also served as a mercenary at Hortonworks. He often bumped into Horton Walk’s soldiers and knights, and recognized that the momentum and atmosphere were different from them.

‘Then it’s called Akan…’

Are guests receiving guests in Yeongju Castle, where the owner is in fact? Obviously this was not normal.

“We officially rented ten annexes inside Yeongjuseong.”

The article first explained whether he had noticed his thoughts.

“Please note that you are not our lords, but our guests of Akan.”

“Yes. But that’s…”

“monster?”

“It’s a monster!”

The crew drew their weapons. The knight hastily stopped them.

“Raise your arms! That’s not a monster!”

“Are you a chimera?”

On one side of the garden, there was a giant who was over 5 meters tall. He was squatting and staring at Granada.

The giant exudes a gentle magic.

The crew hurriedly put their weapons in.

“Yes. This is a chimera made by the Princess. Do not show any hostility, as we will not attack first.”

“I will.”

I had already heard about the Chimera from the Demon King. But it was the first time I had actually seen it, so I was a little reluctant.

Then, the giant arose.

He groaned and approached them.

“Huh?”

“uh? Is this okay?”

Without any fuss, the giant stopped right in front of him.

“Elf.”

An unfamiliar voice was heard. Granada shook her head. A woman was sitting on the shoulder of a giant.

“See you, Your Majesty.”

The knight bowed his head. The princess jumped off.

Her gaze scanned Granada up and down. The red eyes resembling a chimera were very impressive.

“My name is Granada, the commander of the Red Hawk raid. Her Majesty the Princess.”

“Lavinia.”

“I heard that this Chimera was created by Your Highness.”

“Cher.”

“The name is Cher.”

“friend.”

“Are you and Cher friends?”

“yes.”

she pursed her lips. Granada waited for her to say something, but she did not open her mouth for a long time.

“·················ogue.”

“·················ogue.”

There was silence for a long time, and the crew looked into each other’s eyes.

“Elven heart.”

At that moment, Lavinia reached out her hand. A white hand pricked Granada’s chest.

“It’s hot.”

“Yes?”

“Give me.”

“···Yes?”

“no. majesty.”

Granada instinctively waved her hand at the coolness that dug into her back. The answer came not from him, but from the knight’s mouth.

“no?”

“Granada-sama is here to help us. majesty.”

“ah. sorry. mistake.”

“···it’s okay.”

Lavinia nodded, bowed her head, and climbed back onto Cher’s shoulder. Cher stomped and returned to its original position.

“···sorry.”

“Just replaced….”

“I grew up only in the royal palace, so dealing with people is a little awkward. I apologize on behalf of Your Majesty. It will never happen again in the future.”

“…Ah, yes.”

At the polite knight’s apology, Granada had no choice but to nod shakily.

* * *

“Did you hear the news?”

While Berger was contemplating how to control the Akan Kingdom’s troops well, Reina Sordein received a call.

It was a complaint about the kidnapping failure.

“heard. Did Hillen Cargill stop Vivian?”

“Without any luck, there wasn’t much. At that time, Hillen Cargill visited the Werft Kingdom as the guild’s envoy…”

“It was a good opportunity to find out the culprit, but I’m sorry.”

With superhuman patience, Berge endured the smile that spread across his lips.

“okay. However, in a certain way, she could not help but lament at the stupidity of Vivian Blunt.”

“You must have heard that Hillen Cargill arrived at Werft, but he was working comfy.”

However, I would never have imagined that I would be guarding the princess’s door.

Berge, the dark side of everything, could only imagine Vivian’s bewildered face.

“So what are you going to do now?”

“This time, I am planning to go on my own.”

“···what?”

“If you failed once, you would think that you would not be able to try again in a row.”

“Healen Cargill also returned to the Heroes’ Guild, so this is a rare opportunity.”

No, no.

It should never have happened.

Louise Werft must not be kidnapped.

“Can not be done.”

“no? What do you mean?”

Berge desperately shook his head.

He spoke as calmly as possible.

“Anyway, Louise Werft is not going anywhere. There is no need to rush.”

“That’s true, but that’s not a reason not to kidnap Louise.”

“I need your help. I want you to hand over the kidnapping of Louise to Ugar and help me.”

『It is impossible for Ugar Belbek to function smoothly in the Dwarven Kingdom.』

knew The buildings of the underground city of Werft, the kingdom of dwarfs, were not very large.

Titan, a giant, was a problem from the start.

Knowing that, Berger also mentioned Ugar. To avoid suspicion as much as possible.

“But it’s helpful. Is there any problem?”

‘Why did you say this?’

You shouldn’t call Reina Sordan a tower. Seeing that there were no monsters and there were a dwarf hero and two princesses, it was clear that even Raina would be furious.

Judging from her character as the Demon King of a good life, there was a possibility that she had submitted a report to Archduke Alkyin.

‘Other. Something else that might divert Reina’s attention.’

“If it was enough for you to tell the real woman yourself, wouldn’t it be unusual?”

damn. The trouble deepened.

『Is it shameful to ask for help between the Demon King and the Demon King? Of course, as a Demon King, I think it is right to have such pride. But Alain is different. We have decided to cooperate, so if necessary, feel free to talk to the main woman.”

Er, I don’t know.

“…the words came out in vain. Actually, it’s yours, not mine.”

“A woman’s problem?”

“Gillian Eint.”

One of the great warriors.

“Didn’t the white repair raid come to the tower? If we ignore it, we will be in great anger.”

It didn’t happen yet, but it happened in the world before the return.
