00242 Diagonal politics is a trick.

I moved a stone and gave it Platinum.

News soon spread to the villages. The people wondered if the Demon King was joking. Three days later, another notice was posted at the gates of the Grand Chapel. There was an outrageous command.

─ Three hundred gold coins should be paid to the person who moves the stone Yamer moved back here three days ago.

This time, the colonists didn't take out the troops. I hurried down the hill right away.

“Get out of the way, old people! It's too much, but your back is killing you! ”

“Get lost, you little bastards! He held two or three rocks in my arms! ”

People rush towards the boulder, grumbling. A young man arrives first, but the colonists cling to the boulder without giving in to the young man.

“No, I got there first, but what's wrong with everyone? This is mine! This is mine! ”

“I like yours. Haha, I never said I only moved one person from Pogo. ”

“Oh, my God, you've seen robbers like this! ”

The young man was unfair and furious. Now, even the elders over the age of sixty are sticking to the rocks, forcefully pushing their noses.

“Yonseok, have you forgotten the kindness of caring for your brothers and sisters in winter? ”

“Oh, no. Why are you bringing that up now? ”

“Hey! If you kick me out now, the goddesses will be furious! ”

As the young man staggered, others rushed in.

“Hey! You know it's our forge, right? You son of a bitch, just try to eat this alone. I'll never lend you a farm tool again. ”

“If you want to get bullied in the village, feel free to eat alone. Or you can leave home and live by yourself! ”

The young man cried. I had no choice. Fourteen people fell asleep and were transporting stones.

I put the rock back in the front gate of the Grand Chapel, but the security guard came running to give me a gift of hammock. The chest really contained 300 gold coins. Fourteen territories cheered and distributed gold coins equally.

Strange things happened. People were waiting for photos in front of the Grand Chapel or yesterday. The number was over a hundred men and women.

Unfortunately, the notice to move the stone block never reappeared. The people mourned.

“Ugh, what a heartache for the Demon King…. ”

“I should have been there! ”

After a while, the Dwarves came and started carving rocks.

I watched the Dwarves sculpt what happened to the colonists. It was engraved on a rock. The Dwarves left after engraving the letters:

Article 1. The territory is governed by the Lord, the eternal sovereign.

Article 2. The Territorial People are equally delegated the right to live freely from the Lord. As long as the dominion of the Lord is not violated, the right of the Territory to live freely and equally is preserved.

Article 3. Organizations or individuals must promote freedom of territory, property of territory, safety of territory, and the development and peace of the world, depending on their delegated rights.

There were three clauses carved into it.

People knew it was a newly created law the last time. And I understood that what the Demon King did was not an unfamiliar prank, but to clearly torture themselves.

There were actually more provisions in the so-called new laws. However, Dantalian sought to imprint only the most important provisions into the minds of the colonists.

The stone is called Yammer's Rock.

It was given to me by Dantalian himself. He immediately summoned the colonists from the grand convention.

“From now on, whenever I have something to command or ask for your cooperation, I will put a notice on Yammer's rock. For those of you who do not know how to read, I will be careful to instruct the representative to read the sentence. ”

“But why Yammer's Rock? ”

“It was definitely me who created the law. Why do you put the names of the people of the territory on this iconic rock instead of the Dantalian rock? ”

“Citizens, because you must be the ones to enforce the law! ”

“Your right to live freely and equally must come from me, Dantalian. But I am not the one who can live your free and equal lives. Remember.”

“Only you can live your life. ”

“The Lord will never, ever live for your lives! This is just as the Goddess gave us life, but you are the ones who have to cultivate it. In other words, the Lord is a priest who mediates with the Goddess. ”

“Therefore I call that rock Yammer's. It means your law. Keep this in mind, citizens of the land and live. ”

Here, of course, lies were hidden.

The most deadly trick was that the sovereign ruler was not the entire territory, but the one and only Demon King Dantalian.

Territorials live free and equal. only to the extent that he has been granted the 'grace' right to the lord. This meant that the colonists should always be thankful to the Lord, but of course, they urged Dantalian to be regarded as unholy.

…… Why do we live well? Because, of course, we tried. But why were we able to try in the first place? It is because His Holiness gave us the right to live freely. Even if we do well, even if we have peace, even if we have freedom, it's all thanks to King Dantalian...

This was a bizarre and dangerous logic.

“Hail, King Dantalian! ”

However, the colonists did not hesitate to cheer.

The concept of sovereignty was unfamiliar to the territory anyway. One thing is important to them. In other words, it was the fact that everyone is equal under the Lord. No nobles or slaves in the territory. Everyone is equal!

Those who were afflicted with the tyranny of the nobles were fiercely supportive of the Dantalians who declared, ’There will be no nobles or slaves in the land in the future.'

After I finished my speech at the Grand Chapel, I returned to the Chamber of Demons. I had to get out of my seat in a hurry because people were escorting me for a long time.

Daisy stood by me from start to finish, holding my hand. Daisy opened her mouth quietly when she returned to the Phantom Chamber - the teleportation device to the Phantom Chamber was finally completed and quickly returned.

“This is ridiculous. ”

The black-haired girl was staring at me coldly.

“What doesn't make sense? ”

“Everything. Everything your father said was a scam and a lie. ”

“I don't know what you mean. ”

I laughed bloody. And Daisy said,

“If no one can live for his life, he also has the right to live. You can't save their lives. So how do you think they give you the right to live? ”

Daisy's voice rises.

“He's violating his own words. Contradiction.”

“Oh.”

“I just picked up a plausible quote and fooled people. ”

I lay in bed with my face wide open.

“Mmm-hmm. So what do you want me to do? ”

“ ……. ”

“My Daisy has become a Republican fighter without me knowing it. Is it contagious to Luke? It is my territory and my property. What contradiction does it have when you say mine is mine? If you want to take what's mine and make it everyone's, well... That's what the people of the territory should do, not me. ”

I have no intention of making democratic territory in the first place. Why would I do that?

The Magic Crystal Ball on the bedside table flashes.

There were several crystal spheres, one of which was directly connected to Pymon. I quickly got up and activated the crystal sphere.

─ How are you, Dantalian?

The beautiful Demon King of Enemy has been projected into the air.

“Yes, I am resting comfortably. ”

Pymon sometimes communicates like this. It wasn't because of anything big. The revolutionary struggle has been ongoing recently, and the usual talks have been made.

Soon, Pymon argued that it was harder for the revolution to succeed than he thought.

Every time, I smiled softly and comforted Pymon.

“Pymon. Don't be too upset. They get wet with human beings, and they actually forget that they're equal and free. Overcoming the power of such forgetfulness and spreading true ideological societies across all continents…… this can't be easy. ”

Pymon sighs.

─ Yes, of course. But I have no choice but to complain…….

“What Pymon is enduring is not an affliction for his own personal sake, but an affliction for the entire human race and for his own. The weight of that agony is, of course, heavy. ”

─ …….

“Come on, Pymon. Even if everyone else does not understand and sell Pymon, I will support you as much as I do. Until the day the Republicans triumph. ”

Generally, the communication ended like this.

Piedmont must be in trouble too.

There are allies of the Liberation Alliance, but technically, they are not equal. Pymon was their leader all along. As a commander, I could not show weakness to my subordinates.

Yet none of the Demon Monarchs in their position understood Republicism. I was the only one who could hear Pymon's story.

Well, personally, I think it's kind of like counseling. Just a few minutes of chitchat can keep Pymon friendly. As you can see from the benefits, there is no harm at all.

I turn my head, and Daisy looks at me blindly for some reason.

“Hmm? Oh, where were we? ”

“… until your father has no intention of granting freedom to his people. ”

“Yes. If you want your rights, tell them to cause a revolution or something. Do you think I'd be willing to give them the right to do so? That's the way the world works anyway. ”

Daisy sighs suddenly.

“Huh? Where did you learn to sigh when people talk? ”

“No, I just thought it was stupid of me to say this to my father. ”

Daisy is like a sixty year old woman.

“I know who your father is. ”

“I don't know what you're talking about. Anyway, it's true that you're stupid. ”

“Yes, it's all my fault. Really.”

Heh. Daisy admits her guilt honestly.

He's got so much pride that he won't admit he's ugly even if he dies. Maybe that's why she looked a little more beautiful than usual. I felt better, so I didn't bother Daisy that night.

This is why people should be true to themselves. How good does it look to be true?

And by the way, it's not being described at all, but Dantalian is helping Daisy every day.
