Hero without Blood or Tear

[34] Private Napkin Cotton. (3)

I broke up with Valpurgis and headed to Dresden, Sachsen's capital. Because there was a clue to solve this problem.

Approximately 140 kilometers north, the city in the middle is the Demon Prince, but it's not a big deal.

Plazen is ranked 26th in the ranks of Demon King Kubalt, and he is the warm-hearted Demon King and has been in normal contact with humans. You'll be fine as long as you pay toll.

Three days after departing, I arrived at Plagen, where I met the Radbuzza River, which runs through the city. Although the river is quite narrow, we had to pay tolls to cross the bridge anyway.

“How much?”

“Where are you from? ”

A Goblin soldier on toll looks at me interestingly.

“Does it matter? I can't imagine anyone crossing the river in one day. ”

“You look so extraordinary. It's your job to check on them, isn't it? ”

“You're a man of your own business. I'm from Wittenbuyer. ”

“You've come a long way. Do we have a name? ”

“My name is Ballerstead Baller. I'm just a mercenary. ”

The Goblin smiles and raises his glasses slightly.

“Kick-kick. I've seen a lot of mercenaries in my life, but I've never seen a mercenary like you." ”

“Well, I've seen a lot of Goblins, but I've never seen a Goblin who cares as much as you. ”

I saw a ring with a Goblin on it.

“He's a common rock on the side of the road. Pass.”

“Thank you. This is a wonderful city. ”

Did he like what I said? The Goblins cry out behind me.

“Have a nice trip. Sir!"

I waved and drove Philly. The exotic appearance of the Demon Prince was a lot to watch.

There were many sights, including the Orc Guard with Halberd, the Circus of Passionate Behavior, and the Ogre that was being enslaved as a child.

Pleasant moves forward thinking it would be okay to come on tourism alone, but a big Minotaur stands in the way.

He was dressed in great clothes and he was so tall that he was like a Minotaur. It was the same height as the pilgrim.

“Excuse me.”

I try to turn the horse's head to the side, but the Minotaurs say something unexpected.

“Sir Ballersted Baller. ”

What is this...? I don't have any idea how this guy knows me, but my name might not have come up yet.

“Who are you? ”

“I am Gum, a knight who serves the Great One. He said to fetch Lord Balor. ”

“The owner of this city? ”

“Yes, if you let me. ”

It looks like a fist cauldron. I'm afraid of what will happen if I don't allow it.

“Very well. It would be an honor to meet King Kubalt. ”

Gum nods once and moves on. It didn't take long to reach the luxurious Palace of the Demon King.

“Just wait in the conference room. ”

I was led to a lavish room decorated with pumpkins. Gum greeted me and disappeared.

How long do you think he's waited? A goblin acolyte walks in with a knock.

“No, what about you? ”

“Hello again. One mercenary.”

The Goblin was the one who collected tolls when he crossed the bridge. I can finally see how things are going.

“What about the Demon King? ”

“He seems to be a little late for something unexpected. ”

Funny. I didn't expect it to come to this.

“Do you think Shane snitched on you? ”

I crossed my head to the Goblin who asked me to follow his car.

“That's not the point. ”

“What's the point? I'm not sure. ”

“Anyone can do what they think you're a snitch. But if you think a little more, you can see more. ”

“More than that? ”

“I see.”

I nodded and asked.

“Isn't that right? The Demon King?”

The Goblin pauses for a moment. But they started laughing again.

“You don't seem to know your way around here. Goblins like you can't be the masters of this great city. The Demon Lord is a handsome man. ”

The Goblin pointed to the portrait on one side of the wall. In the picture, a handsome man with horns smiled softly.

“You're a wonderful man. ”

“That's the Demon King Kubalt. It has nothing to do with Goblins like Zheng Ye. ”

“Hey. Wisdom is not a punch in the face. ”

“What if?”

“I have some evidence that you are the Demon King. ”

The Goblin laughs and giggles in my words.

“It's a very interesting point of view. The king has time to come, so he will speak to you. ”

I spread three fingers in front of the Goblin.

“There are three grounds for you to deliver the Demon King. First of all, the Demon Prince of Cobalt is a master of the art of transformation. He likes to look at the city in all shapes and sizes. Especially when you meet someone who looks like a Goblin or a child. ”

“Why is that? ”

“Simple. To look shallow and see how the opponent gets out. ”

The Goblin's face is full of interest.

“Interesting insight. But with that alone, I'm not good enough as a Demon King. ”

“I admit. Number two, this is the scarlet ring you have in your hand. ”

“This ring? ”

A Goblin raises his hand.

“Yes, an ordinary ring that you can see everywhere on the outside. But that's what the Demon King wears all the time. A cautious man would know. ”

“Interesting point of view, but still lacking. These scarlet rings are easy to get if you have money. Even if they look alike, it's nothing special. ”

“Well, if it were just a scarlet ring, what Goblin in the world would accidentally wear a can of immortal scarlet with the Demon King on Mount Kaecit? ”

I told you, the Goblins couldn't hide their surprise.

“Do you know Mount Kjet? ”

“It's a famous mountain in the Magic System, and there's no telling if you don't know it. You seem to sometimes forget that Humans are very interested in the Horses. ”

“Well, good. What was the last reason? ”

The last reason was the surest.

“I may look like a stranger, but I actually know my way around a city. The Mazes of Pleasant are supposed to call His Majesty" The Great One. "”

I had forgotten this, but I remembered it because I read about the Minotaur Knights.

“The name" "Your Grace" "itself" "derives from human beings and is not permitted for use by the Empire. Whereas the Horsemen must be regarded as great without exception. ”

That was the law of the Demon Spirit.

“Do you think a Goblin can refer to the great one as' Him ’or' Him ’? Earlier, you said he was the portrait. weightlessly.”

“ ……. ”

Now the Goblin watches me without saying anything.

“Then it is imperative that the Goblin be equal to the Demon King. But you know that. Goblins climbing on the Demon King is almost impossible. And now that King Kubalt is so good at shape-shifting, won't it be okay to think of the Goblins as the Demon King in front of me? ”

I stood up and said hello.

“Your Grace, you're late for greetings. It's called Ballersted Baller. ”

In the end, the Goblin smiles at this convincing gesture.

“Hahaha!”

Black smoke wrapped around the Goblin and a wonderful man with horns appeared on his forehead.

“I am Kubalt, ruler of Pleasant. Welcome to Guanyin's Demon Palace. A visit from a wise man like you is always a pleasure. ”

“It's an honor, Your Grace. ”

Kubalt noticed that I liked the look on his face.

“Balor, you are a scholar and a wise man. That's why I swiped the Sage's hand in front of the bridge. I can't believe there's a human who knows the Inferno. I'm amazed at your learning. We don't even know those who suffer from Madosa. ”

“I just learned to distinguish myself from a wise man a long time ago. ”

“Still, I don't think I noticed because of this one. Balor, you seem to have anticipated the actions of the overlord. ”

I wasn't wrong. I came to Pleasant with the possibility of the Demon Lord Kubalt summoning me.

“It's not a difficult problem to think about. ”

“Haha! How so. I want to hear your wisdom. ”

“There's no wisdom in that. Sire, those of you who are as famous as you have heard of the arrival of Earl Niederbayer's groom. ”

“I was quite surprised at that, too. ”

Kubalt was obsessed with gathering information enough to be nicknamed King Sezac, but this wasn't necessarily difficult for him to figure out.

Many have already seen me at the Earl of Lanzhou's palace. Moreover, I could only find out if I listened to Balpurgis' bureaucrats who were excited at the beer hall that evening.

“Perhaps you would be interested in me. ”

“I won't deny it. I didn't think the Earl would be interested in him. I felt like I was someone else. ”

“In Niederbayer today, there are a lot of informants who have been dispatched because of this incident. Among them was your informant. They probably tipped me off. ”

“That's right.”

So far, my intellectual value is not very high.

So the informants may have checked the fact that Earl Niederbayer's man showed up, but they didn't even notice me sneaking out of the castle late at night.

However, I thought that Kubalt, the Incredible and Meticulous King, might be different from the information around him. His sources are notorious for checking everything small.

“I thought you might have noticed this mysterious man, Balor, popping out of nowhere. You wouldn't even be able to figure out my pathway to relaxing along the river. That's why I'm here at all. ”

Kubalt looks stunning. He opens his mouth admirably.

“Ha! Amazing. You are a very brave man. But maybe your prediction was wrong. ”

“If nothing else happens in this city, it won't be too bad, since you don't really care about me. I'm glad you haven't caught King Sezar's delicate staples yet. ”

Kubalt claps his hands and laughs.

“Hahahaha! What a funny guy! ”

“I need your help in meeting me like this. ”

“Distribution is unusual. As soon as you saw the Demon King, you asked me to give you something. ”

His intelligence is at the highest level of the Empire. As long as we can get help from this case, we'll be a solid ally.

“How can something as good as money flow in one direction? If Your Highness helps us, we may have a day to repay you. ”

“Good to see you today. ”

He enjoys a cup of tea and adds.

“I can see why the Earl of Niederbayer chose you. It's hard to find someone this extraordinary. ”

“I'm not sure the erl chose me... ”

Kubalt clenches his tongue.

“Won, is that the stubborn part? Are you pretending not to know? ”

“Yes?”

“It seems you didn't mean what happened at the Earl's Palace, but it's already blown. Soon, even Bavaria will hear of this. ”

“Ah……. ”

I forgot. I'm an idiot. I was so focused on the case that I didn't think at all about the aftermath of what happened at the Earl's Palace.

“What the Guan says is that you must prepare your excuses well. As you know, Bavaria is famous for her nephew's stupidity. The rumors are never exaggerated. If you don't like him, it's probably best to just wash your throat and wait. ”

“Huh……. ”

Then I remembered the fiery temperament of Maximilian after Bavaria. No, he liked to burn things beyond fire in nature.

Whether he's a prisoner of war or a man who's been molested by his niece and nephew, he won't have much patience.

Burr-.

Suddenly, I felt chilled and I had to solve this case without a single error. Then I could barely escape the burn.

“Huh? You didn't know? It's true that Earl Niederbayer is famous for his wallowing… but that's not the fundamental reason. What's the big deal about being an heir to Bavaria and having a strong personality or having a mistress? ”

“What if?”

“Bavaria pre-emptively gave me a niece! 'Cause they ran off with every one of them. ”

It seems that Bavaria thinks of the man who is flirting with his nephew as a 'catcher’. Blah, blah... It wasn't hard to guess if it wasn't just a blah, blah, blah, blah.

Kubalt clenches his tongue because I can't hide my embarrassment.

“Tsk, tsk! This is a promising young man, but it's also a promising firewood. ”
