Next Life
Thirteen words, "aftertaste."
The Demon Army was defeated by mankind.
It would be a devastating blow for all five demons to die, especially for the loss of Alberto and Franklin, senior demons.
In that sense, I might say that Marius lost to one person.
Even mankind could not have predicted that all five would die within twenty minutes of the beginning of the war.
Those who knew the power of Marius were considered exceptions, but no one could deny that they were too strong.
Who the hell thinks all the undead scattered all over the place will be buried together?
"I wonder if it's something like this"
Teng himself, who also struck his allies in some ways, was working with national aspirations on debris removal and purification in Berganda.
The day after the end of the war.
Because I heard that a large number of dead people and their undead can be a source of plague.
With Burra, who deliberately ignored the panicked surrounding reaction that he couldn't let the meritorious do that, and followed him in silence with the three summoners and eyes shining.
Zofi, who got plenty of rewards, is going to make another move, and the other two are going to make it back.
Burra on the other hand can give instructions, and purifying magic is a key force that can be used.
Lord Marius.
It was Derek, king of Serraeno, who had spoken to such a line of Marius.
"This is..."
Marius has difficulty reacting.
I guess it's some royal or aristocratic to see how many guards are holding back behind it, but I can't remember.
King Serraeno.
Elle told me using the "telepath" so I decided to deceive her.
I don't know why or if I'm pursuing it.
King Serraeno, if you'll excuse me.
"No, good."
I somehow perceived that I didn't remember my face, but Derek laughs at Eagle Deep and forgives me.
I'm not as annoyed with courtesy as I was, and I think it's up to me to be courteous.
"Gastark was my brother"
I have to say that Marius is inexperienced in order to see the heart from its expression and voice color.
"Once upon a time, the weak should have been the object of asylum for him, but when did he just become out of the way..."
Too harshly slain by the father of Derek, the previous king, who was supposed to be but turned into a living demon.
Marius was the first to know what was going on around there.
"Let me thank you on behalf of the people"
Deeply bowed his head, Marius marvels and looks sideways at Burra, who was beside him.
Bhara was also surprised, so I learned that this could not be normal.
It's good to know, but how can I give it back?
"No, welcome. Looks like they've taken the person from them."
Be Marius and choose your words carefully.
The Serraenos turned their minds to wonder if they wanted to discuss it themselves, but Derek, with his head up, denied it.
"If the slain royalty lived or was ashamed, it would also be a great shame to have done more harm to the folk grass. It would be foolish to focus more than we knew we were enemies."
His expression and voice are flat and he doesn't seem obsessed.
If it were the result of suppression, it would be the result of immeasurable self-restraint.
But Derek turns his expression there into something mixed with confusion and shame.
"If you know more than that, I want you to tell me. Don't you know the name Mergen?
It was directed more at Zofi behind it than it was at Marius.
Zophi looks at her husband and answers because he says with his eyes that she should teach him.
"I know. A demon who used to hang out with Gastark."
Derek shuts his eyes in silence and a small blurring occurs from the escorts.
The thought is still stronger than unexpected.
I think it's enough for Marius to bother asking.
"Mergen is Gastark's brother-in-law and the culprit who drew him into evil. At least he's as bad as they think he is."
Derek cuts words there once and sees Marius in a hood.
"Though I think it would be in our hands if we could defeat it, it would be more certain to ask you. I know how thick it is, but could you please?
Marius nods silently.
A king who bows his head to the unknown for the sake of his people is a personally favorable opponent.
Then I admire that there is no feisty gesture against Marius, nor has he compromised his majesty as king.
"Mergen is as good at Necromancy as Gastark, but it will be more than that in depth of construction. You'll be fine, but don't be alarmed."
When I advised him so, Derek went back to his men.
The escorts also continue to salute Marius.
"What do you mean, you feel like a king in a good way"
Even with Marius' poor expressiveness, Barra opens her mouth by perceiving what she wants to say.
"Serraeno regained his strength only after that one came to power. Probably the finest king on the continent."
I don't know what Marius thinks when it comes to Bahra's compliments.
He was the one planted with a deep impression, even though he said he had only exchanged words a few times.
For the record, Zophi and Elle had a somewhat unexpected feeling about Barra: "This guy, can you make a good decision other than magic tangles?"
(And it's from a human to a demon)
Marius thinks this would also be a difference between the game and reality.
Once the race was set in the game, no changes could be made.
It's the most "rich" position to stop a human being, and there's a chance that he'll be a demon here.
When it came to demons, the advanced demons were also weak.
By the time of the game, "anihilation" doesn't sink in a single shot.
(Maybe enemy strength is for one person to play...?
Is it because you are fighting an enemy with the strength of a single-use RPG while still in MMORPG status that the enemy feels weak?
It is not strange that the strength of an enemy that should be defeated in a group is different from that of one that can be defeated.
It is now a world where common sense does not work in the first place, and Marius felt somehow able to explain it.
If so, I'd have to say it was a detour such as never noticing it before......
"It's time to start again"
In response to Barra's voice, Marius and the others return to work.
The people of Berganda were turned into zombies and turned into abandoned pawns of the Demon Army, purified with the magic of Marius.
Purifying it leaves no body, but at least I'd like to think it saved my soul alone.
Let's just say it's still better with the bodies of people who weren't used for the invasion.
Graves are made for only the number of bodies, and consolation tablets are to be built for those who did not leave the bodies.
This was also part of the national strategy.
With the demise of Berganda, the people with whom Berganda was the main trading partner face a crisis of unemployment.
We have to give them jobs and income, even temporarily, and in the meantime work out good practices.
Increasing unemployment affects national security and the economy.
"A demon is a devil."
Marius' voice has a swordswallowing sound, and the women who felt it look at each other unexpectedly.
He's supposed to be a passive human being with an inherently warm personality.
That's why there's less clinging to the surroundings, and a lot of humans appreciated it on that point, but maybe we need to fix it, even partially.
But the women's thoughts boiled down to "Angry Master Marius is nice too," and the sense of urgency didn't get serious.
Humanity's problem is not just the economic loss caused by the demise of Berganda.
There is also the question of what to do with Vester, Mithra and Balshark, who were non-cooperative in countering the Demon Army raids.
But once again, the question of how to reward the meritorious was troublesome.
The second feat is the name of Zophi, who defeated Pal.
She was a succubus, and her identity was obvious from the fact that she could defeat Pal one-on-one, but she was not to blame.
I was the hero who defeated the demon man, no matter what.
"She fought for us. How ungrateful is he?"
and Derek, king of Serraeno, asserted and garnered much support.
Besides, she declared herself a Summoner of Marius, and if she insisted that all the formalities should be attributed to Marius, the minority had no choice but to hold its mouth.
It turns out that Marius is still hiding his powers, but his reaction has not been significant.
"It's a good thing you don't drown in power and watch out for abuse"
and I can't say enough thanks to Barra for her enthusiastic defense.
Everyone had a look close to giving up that the difference in degree was "if you care, you lose".
Everyone admits that Marius like that is the primary feat.
He broke a streak of Labella, Gastark, with two advanced demons, and kicked millions of Demon Army.
Besides, he was also Zofi's master.
I can say it's too huge a martial arts medal, but that's why it's a source of headaches.
Because there is no precedent for how to award such a big handle as there is no precedent.
There is also a meeting among the kings known as the "Meeting to Consider the Benefit to Marius".
"What exactly is giving the old Berganda a whole? It will be the earliest certainty that he is not in our hands."
It was Derek, king of Seraeno, who proposed so.
It was Bernhardt III who opposed it, but not out of malice towards Marius.
"But Lord Marius is not good at territorial management. Someone has to put on an adjunct to give territory. It takes a good number to run a territory for one country... are you there?
The Kings seemed honest.
A person who is able to operate a territory firmly is of high rare value and is accorded a corresponding status and salary in every country.
It is not easy to have that many people available to the extent that it is indispensable to the management of the State.
"You can't. It can't be enough to get them out of every country."
There was no objection to the words of King Philip of Lanreo.
If it is a region, it is still unrealistic to be a whole country.
Whether you can just count them, the important thing is that they are people who can give instructions.
For the most part, give them only the minimum they need to "do it later with your own talent" and adopt the method of giving them a grace and at the same time raising them to the greater.
Of course, I can help you if you need anything, but I don't think I can apply that this time.
Sometimes Marius' handle is too big and too strong, but the biggest problem is that Berganda has become a blank zone.
To be a territory, residents must be colonized, and roads and bases must be built from scratch.
Irresponsible slander will not be spared, such as throwing round amateurs that it will be a major business even on a national basis.
"Results theory, but you should have said marriage to your daughters at this stage."
When King Venuto II of Gallius says he is pompous, all the other kings have a look close to a bitter laugh.
Indeed, "marrying a princess" is roughly one of the ultimate rewards for those below.
Most of the popular stories amongst the common people culminate in the celebration of knights, heroes and brave men marrying princesses.
It is no exaggeration to say that a young man is a dream development for once.
The "heirloom treasure knife", so to speak, was already in use and I didn't think it would be worth it to take it out now.
"In the first place, I heard Lord Marius was negative about polygamy."
Everyone's gaze gathers to King Philato in the words of Derek king Serraeno.
"Hmm. I don't know if there's been a change of heart lately. I don't think so anymore."
King Philato answered the matter without permission.
There was a struggle going on that said "I'm gathering information" and "that information is old enough" in the dark, but everyone is deciding what to look like.
It is the duty of the king to fight this level of struggle on a daily basis.
"Either way, you can't say it out here. I hope Lord Marius tells you."
King Gallius draws back the air that is about to get heavier.
"Right. Why don't you ask Lord Marius? That's probably the easiest part."
We thought together into King Lanreo's words.
It may not be surprisingly a bad idea to have the right prize in person.
To be clear, in the current situation, it is impossible for Marius himself to prepare a prize that will only convince the heroes of Marius anyway.
Saying you won the battle didn't earn you any money or land, because what you lost is much bigger.
I will fulfill Marius' request, apologize for not being fully rewarded under the circumstances, and Marius accepts it.
People honor Marius' abnegation and speak as a beauty story.
It is, in fact, an example that has happened several times in the past.
It has already been found that Marius is not a man of deep desire, and expectations seemed to hold.
Just in case, you can tell Barra, Rovisa, and Catherine what's going on.
"You're going to figure it out."
King Philato, King Gallius, nodded at the words of King Henry IV of Lanreo.
Only King Serraeno was skeptical, but the alternative did not come to mind, so keep silence.
No one yet knows what the consequences will be.
