Confused by Gargoyle's remarks without a thump, I glance chilly at the knowledgeable Maluburg.

But he seemed to have no idea who would be the 'King of Demons' simply by shaking his head gently.

If you don't even know Maluburg, do you mean it's not common in the Principality?

Then I'll have to ask Gargoyle to dig for roots and leaves.

I know. I wanted to give you a feel, but it's better than pretending to know something you don't and digging a grave.

"The King of Magic?" I don't know. "

Return the words to Gargoyle with no interest. This attitude is best at the moment.

Because he's a superior, he decided to show me that he doesn't know what's going on.

The opposing gargoyles give up their arms...... they are not!

I know he's trying to talk about something, but he suddenly collapsed to the ground like a doll with a broken thread.

"It's out of magic. Brother."

Klaus, who says so but still keeps an eye on Gargoyle, moves forward, just in case.

"Oh well..."

"The slaughter of Wagan must have cut off the magic supply to the core. If we don't feed him, he'll be hungry and he won't move."

Hmm.

Is that what you mean? Then I wish I wouldn't be forced to lay flat and keep my energy warm!

In the end, Gargoyle was deactivated without knowing anything.

"Is gargoyle like a puppet that moves with magic?

To imagine from the story of Maluburg and Klaus, a gargoyle would be a much more convenient radio than a drone, wouldn't it?

What a handy doll to be able to see and hear and even talk about.

"Right. Gargoyles are like golems that move with the magic of being the eyes and ears of a demon clan."

"You know what uptime is?

"Out of magic, or your core destroyed... the rest won't stop until the demons you're manipulating die."

"Beh, that's too convenient, that"

"Yeah. That's why the Demons are troublesome."

Even if the principalities and empires are desperate to fight, do you think the Demons are nuking in the safety zone just by sending gargoyles?

Depending on the speed and quantity of gargoyles produced, the situation will be tough in a nation of people who have to fight for themselves.

Only one thing I found out is that the Demons also have a clear will and judgment.

They may instinctively be attacking a nation of people, but I'm sure they have some reason, too.

"Do you also use magic to move magic artifacts knitted in the magic of Lord Yoshichi?

Felix drops his eyes to the loudspeaker and puts his fingertips on his chin.

"Oh, well, yeah"

"I knew you would!

Ha ha.

It doesn't explain electricity to everyone. It's all supposed to be magic.

I laughed thirsty, and it was me.

"If it stopped working, I couldn't help it. Let's go next."

Shake your head left or right to deceive.

It was an obvious change of subject, but I never got any more penetration.

"Which way do we go?

Klaus turned his sword tip to Hobgoblin, followed by Goblin Sherman.

I don't care either way...... if he looks to Maluburg, he just exaggerates his shoulders.

"Wouldn't that be nice?

"Right."

Are you a head of a military unit and a member of a religious organization? When I say which one has more information... both.

Then do we go from Hobgoblin?

Reason? Because Sherman makes a gold cut.

My ears are kinky and I can't help it.

◆ ◆ ◆

Klaus' men tie him with rope, then pour water on the hobgoblins.

He immediately groaned and awoke.

"Are you awake?

"Human!"

Hobgoblins grumble with resentful voices that echo from the bottom of the earth.

"I have the name Ryoche Fujishima. Don't you guys have a name?

"Don't lick it. Human. There is one goblin. There's no name."

Hmm, that's kind of an inclusive way of saying it.

Every time, but I'm doing a proper recitation. Except when you're in a hurry, but you can do the interrogation slowly.

Oh, isn't Maluburg smiling at the angel?

"Yeah. You were so good you could still get your name."

You gonna tell him? That's me...

The look on Hobgoblin's face changed once he recited the words of Bosoboso and Maluburg.

…… How did you know!

"Haha. I knew it was. I wonder if even more evolved species from hobgoblins are red caps and goblin kings."

"You, have you met the Red Cap or the King!?

"That's right..."

Puy Maruburg turns his back from Hobgoblin.

He just winks at me and says he left it to me.

He and Hobgoblin are in conversation, but needless to say what I'm reciting between them.

Maruburg. Thanks for the good assist.

You're saying that by holding his mouth here, you can make him mistake that he knows the circumstances of the Goblins to some extent.

Conversely, I don't know. Let's have a conversation with this guy.

"Well, Hobgoblin-kun. You can't produce wheat like a human being."

"What do you want to say?

"No. As you can see, there's tons of wheat here. I need more wheat."

"I want more wheat too."

"Yeah, yeah. So you know I don't need you, right?

"... do you kill him?

"No, no. I won't do that. Killing you wouldn't add more wheat, would it?

It's a hobgoblin who doesn't understand what I'm trying to say.

It's a good trend.

"There would be a lot of people in the city of Graf, wouldn't there?

Here I turned my eyes to Maluburg, not Hobgoblin.

He's guessing at me, and when he meets me, he snorts back.

"You know very well. We're not like the goblins we've been. We may kill people to make them work, but we keep them alive."

"That's right. Because humans produce wheat."

"That's right. lay wheat. I'll have kids, too."

Kids have skin bubbling in the words, but they dress calm on the surface.

"Don't you see? Hobgoblin?"

Ask the child to tell them.

But Hobgoblin doesn't seem to understand it yet.

"Look. Hobgoblin. I want wheat. That's why I want people."

"Humans are in the city. I'm not here."

"Right. That's right. So I was wondering if I could trade you for someone I don't need."

"Ask the king and you won't know."

"I'll have you stay here for a while. Don't worry, I'll serve you a meal."

"Give me the wheat."

"I'll give you some bread. Is this it?

"Okay. I'll stay here."

Does this guy know where he stands?

Well, okay. It's easier for you to get fat than this.

It's good because Hobgoblin talked to me perky, so I could get the information I wanted.

Goblins don't kill humans when they're obnoxious. They recognize human beings as "property that produces wheat".

If I put my life and my balance on it, I would throw it away and run, but at least it must not be a matter of "killing all humans -" just because we attacked the city.

"Maluburg, Klaus. I could hear what I wanted to hear."

"I guess that's enough for me."

All right, Goblin Sherman next.

I need to make sure it's consistent with what Hobgoblin was saying and verify the accuracy of the information.
