Why I Quit Being the Demon King

Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 292

65. Meeting the Fairy King (5)

“It will be resolved soon.”

“Sounds like the same thing. “Half of us will starve to death within this year?”

“The reason the Demon World became like this…

“Is it my fault? “It was Nezar who caused the continent of Jose to crash.”

“This would not have happened if the late king had not attacked him.”

“So it’s my fault? “This bastard is now

blaming me for being so stupid.”

“sorry. That wasn’t my intention. But it is true that the late king shook everything up. “That’s why all of this happened.”

“If you look closely, you see that angels are saying the same thing. “Balancing must be maintained, order must not be broken.”

“That’s not true. “Our goal was to destroy humanity on earth and take over the land.”

“So, I’m going to sell you better land than that

. As long as you protect the warp gate, you can bring agricultural products directly to the capital. “Is there a better condition than this?”

Migo said while looking at Alex.

“Is what he said true? “Is food really that scarce in the demon world?”

“My lord! Please do not be deceived by his words.”

“Answer the question. “How is the supply of food?”

“It may be a bit lacking, but hunting the mugwort monster is enough…

“Didn’t you say that the mugwort monster is decreasing? “Because the volume is large but the reproductive power is low.”

For their large size, mugwort monsters had a very long gestation period.

As hunting began in earnest in both the human world and the demon world, the monsters around began to deplete.

“But it’s still enough.”

“Don’t deceive me. Please answer. Is there enough food to feed the demons? Can you be sure that not a single person has starved to death?”

“The Seven Dukes

are trying every possible way to find a way. “I think a solution will come soon.”

“You’re saying it’s not enough right now.”

“Master, please trust us.”

“If I didn’t believe you, I would have dismissed all of you from your positions as Dukes. “Kyo Goku.”

“Yes, my lord.”

“Jim, I will listen to his story further.”

Alex looked dissatisfied, but didn’t say anything in the end.

Deus burst out laughing.

“Hahaha, you’re completely captured by a child.”

“He is not a child, he is Demiurge 667 years old.”

I tried my best to make excuses, but they were just lame. Deus was already not listening to Alex.

“Then let’s try negotiating again. The land area is one quarter of the Demon World. The climate is warm and it is a triangle formed at the lower reaches of a large river, making it the best land for farming. Moreover, a huge herd of cattle has also been confirmed nearby. Since Lakke has already removed the weeds from the mugwort that was growing

, sowing can be done today. They say it’s a long distance, but we’ll provide a warp gate, so it shouldn’t be a problem. Isn’t this an attractive proposition in every way? “If you refuse, you’re a fool.” Migo nodded.

“I think this is the land we really need.”

“yes? The rent is 100,000 gold per year. “I’ll take you there very cheaply.”

“Kyo-gong, tell me if the price is reasonable. “I do not have eyes to judge.”

“100,000 gold. “It’s absurd!”

“Wow, this bastard is still riding a crooked line. “What is absurd?”

“The land of mugwort is now Muju Gongsan Mountain. Doesn’t it make no sense to offer to lend the land for 100,000 gold per year when it doesn’t really have an owner?”

“Is it my land?”

“Who owns it?”

“Who doesn’t admit it? you? You wanna die?”

“Such childish…

“Then tell me who doesn’t approve. Make a list and bring it. “I’m going to kill them all, from number 1 to number 1.

”

“What does ownership mean? Is it a God-given right? dog sound. It’s just a powerful person making rules and forcing them to follow them, right? king? If you think about it, it’s nothing more than a hegemony that can even rule over the law. You don’t want to submit to the new loser? Then why not attack me? “Follow me.”

“Do you think such an outrageous threat will work?”

“So, if you’re dissatisfied, come at me.”

“I don’t understand.”

“Don’t you need land? Then you have to sell it to humans. Since Zeke’s younger brother is in the military or something, negotiations will be easier. Humans have tremendous reproductive potential. “If only food were available, it would double in one generation?”

Deus laughed.

“You guys are facing the border with humans right now, right? Do you think you can survive if you just block the entrance to the cave like before? It’s open everywhere, right? “The Enclave’s placenta was also broken. How many years will it take to recover?”

Alex wiped his cold sweat.

It was just as Deus said. The atmosphere was already not good.

To be honest, it wasn’t a situation to shout loudly.

Someday you will get used to this sunlight. It’s not a story from the very distant future.

By next year or the year after, both farmland and ranches will return to normal.

You just have to last two years. But…

after the time passes when there is no penalty for humanity…

will the demons be able to survive?

“100,000 gold is cheap. “Starting tomorrow, we will raise the price by 10,000 gold per day.”

“We will consult with the dukes.”

“It will come out like that a long time ago. Then go and come back. We play! Because there will be.”

When Alex left, Zeke opened his mouth.

“100,000 gold a year… how much is that?”

“Are you stupid? 100,000 gold is 100,000 gold. “How much is that?”

“Are you sure you want to take it?”

“What if I don’t receive it?”

“It’s such a huge story… I was wondering if that would be okay.”

“The land sold now is less than 0.1 percent of the entire planet. “Don’t be scared already.”

“Are you planning on claiming ownership of it all?”

“why? Do you want it too? “You should fight and take it away.”

“It’s not something you want, but if you go too far, you’ll be hated.”

“It’s better to have a lot of enemies. “I feel more at ease when

the enemy destroys the enemy than my own.”

“Onii-sama, you know very well that it would be useless to say such things to Deus-sama.”

Zeke scratched his head.

Signy was now sitting next to Migo, holding her hand.

Is it because we don’t meet often? The bond between mother and daughter was special.

Migo also leaned on her mother’s shoulder and didn’t know how to fall.

Just seeing that made Zeke smile.

Even though my nephew was suddenly born, I loved him so much.

I also missed Regin’s family.

If everyone gets together and goes to a quiet place to have fun…

“Migo.”

“Your uncle.”

“There is no such thing as a vacation for the Demon King, right?”

“yes? Vacation?”

“Is it too much to do?”

“I don’t know. I’m fine… ah ah pa. “Does the devil have vacations too?” Deus burst out laughing.

“If there was, would I have hit him and run away

? I heard those in the demon world think of the demon lord as some sort of fighting doll. If you want to do something different, you have to learn the Demon King Dance! “Blah blah blah, I’m such a bother.”

“It’s still like that now.”

“Well, if you want to rest, rest on your own. “If you complain and get in my way, I’ll beat you up.”

“Is that so?”

Signi held Migo’s hand tightly.

“Deus-sama’s words must be chosen appropriately and heeded to heart.”

“I think I understand.”

“Engrave something. Do whatever I tell you. “The Seven Dukes act like they care about you from now on, but afterward they only care about their own interests.”

“They are demons. “There is no difference between the outside and the inside.”

“That’s right. Those are the kind of guys they used to be. “But why are you asking about vacation?”

“Come visit the resort.”

Deus burst out laughing at Zeke’s words.

“You’ve grown quite a bit now.”

” What?”

“You’re promoting the store to the devil.”

“I’m telling my nephew to come visit.”

“Why don’t you call your younger brother too?”

“How did you know?”

“Bule’?”

“I’m going to gather everyone, including Jesu and my nephew.”

“The entire Hollybeach family?”

“yes.”

“Not bad?”

” Yes?”

“Then shall we push ahead right away? “You went to the Kingdom of Verde yourself.”

Zeke hesitated for a moment.

“That’s

“Why?”

“First of all, I’m wanted.”

“Maybe you should light a fire at Seonghwangcheong on your way.”

“Because I’m not a demon.”

“Do you want me to help you? “I think once we wipe out the people currently in Seonghwangcheong, the wanted list will naturally be lifted.”

“Rather, I think I will be branded an enemy of humanity. Anyway, I’ll just take a quick tour. “If Deus-sama steps forward, it will truly be the last day of mankind.”

“There is no way I could bring about the end of humanity. What fun will there be in living if the bullies disappear? “Your hobby is cooking, but my hobby is harassing people.”

“Haha, that’s right.”

At that time, Migo hit his palm with his fist.

“Oh my gosh! Croche! “Are you there?”

At Migo’s call, Croche, the butler who had been waiting outside the door, appeared.

“Yes, master.”

“Go and get that item for Uncle Zeke

.”

“yes.”

Zeke tilted his head when he heard that he had something to give him.

It’s been a while since Croche reappeared. What she was holding was a black, shiny wok.

“uh? that!”

Zeke took the wok and made a surprised face.

I turned it around. The handle seemed to have been repaired once, but the body was the same as before.

“Deus, do you know what this is?”

“It’s a wok.”

“It was once made from Leviathan’s bezoar. Deus asked the fairies to refine it, but he never saw the results.”

“Now that I think about it, it seems like something like that happened.”

“I thought I lost it in that mess… How did you keep it?”

“Nezar’s cook kept it. “I knew it was my uncle’s wok, so I brought it with me when I came here.”

“thank you.”

Zeke ended up laughing at the unexpected connection.

It seemed that the meeting of the Seven Dukes, who spent time talking about various things, had come to an end.

Kyouko Alex and Sloth Gong Seiton entered the audience room.

First, they showed respect to Migo.

“My lord, I have come to you with the results of the meeting of the seven dukes.”

Seiton saluted politely and Migo

nodded in response.

“Tell me.”

“You mean in front of them?”

“This is the story I will tell them anyway. Besides, isn’t this your old master? “Be polite before talking.”

Seiton bowed his head towards Deus with a shocked expression.

“Greetings to Demiurge 666.”

” OK.”

Seiton spoke to Migo again. “

I think it will be advantageous for us demons if we can obtain the granary area .

However, 100,000 gold coins is not a small amount of money… I think we should first check whether the land is really worth that much.”

Deus laughed and interrupted his words.

“I told Alex, but the price will increase by 10,000 gold each day.”

“Do not treat the important affairs of the country like a joke.”

“You can’t even play pranks on me.

“The guys who gave in to Zeke’s slave, Nezar, and took over the entire country, are very good at talking about how important it is for the country.”

“It was the best thing at the time.”

“To whom? For the country? Or for you?”

“…Think whatever you want. “Your Majesty, the dethroned King.”

“This was a somewhat useful attack.”

“I’m so sorry.”

“Then, shall we go look at the land together? Because if you think too long, the deal goes wrong.”
