The Executed Sage Reincarnates as a Lich and Begins a War of Aggression
Lesson 138 Wise Men Negotiate with Heroes
In the dim chamber was a man tied to a chair.
Shorter hair, most of his face covered in iron plates.
There was no one eye and a white gem was embedded instead of the eyeball.
The man had missing limbs.
Not only the face, but more than half of the body is made up of metal.
If anyone with magical knowledge sees it, they'll know it's a golem.
This man was the steel knight.
It is the appearance of removing the armor from which the two names come.
The steel knight slowly raised his face.
When he realizes what I look like blending into the dark, he reveals his vigilance.
I spoke with no concern.
Looks like you're awake.
"Well... did I get caught?"
The steel knight says in a plundered voice.
I was calm enough to get a grip on the situation.
Before I lost my mind, I guess I expected this to happen.
Thank you for saving me the trouble to calm down even this one.
The steel knight moved gently.
You can't do anything with lost limbs.
In addition, he started a suicide bomber, and all the weapons built into him had been removed.
In the body of a steel knight, only minimal function remains.
It seems that it is best to live in this way.
With regard to the parts taken out, the director would be happy to dismantle them by now.
I'll just cut the story out.
"I'm sorry for your pessimism, but I need you to give me some information."
"Do you honestly think I'll follow you? I'm not stupid enough to crack my mouth at the demon king."
The steel knight responds in a resolute tone.
It was a natural reaction.
We are enemies.
There's no easy way to throw up confidential information in your country.
Let's just say I don't trust the kind of information that really comes out here.
So I throw in additional threatening complaints.
"If you keep being stubborn, your country will perish."
"I don't mind. You're hired for money. No loyalty, no dust."
The steel knight still answers instantly.
The words uttered are not void.
That's what he really thought.
I hear the Steel Knight is from a mercenary.
From his work, he became a knight of the kingdom.
Even prior information gave the impression that loyalty was scarce.
It is within the scope of the assumption that such a response would be made.
So I use words that would echo him.
"But isn't there family love"
- What?
The steel knight is turning a sharp gaze.
Sharpened killer.
That was all I had, a temper that seemed to fall if I were weak.
I continue in an administrative tone.
"Cold village located in the northern part of the Magic Country. Two parents and children living there. Blonde mother and daughter."
…………
The steel knight shuts up.
pretending to be calm, but there was a definite rush and fear seeping in there.
I understood that my family was in danger.
It is the only absolute weakness of a hero named the Steel Knight.
"Depending on what you say and do, I can't even promise their safety."
"... why, I know"
"The Demon King's Army's information network is extensive. Don't look sweet."
Luciana's top secret detectives have all the best.
He also quickly found out about the family of the Steel Knight, a secret information.
This fact is not known to the public.
Still, if you put your back down and investigate, you'll be surprised to find out.
"With one of my orders, I can still take my life from here. That would be an undesirable development for you."
"- The immortals of the outer roads. Kill a man without any sin, and it doesn't hurt your heart!
"War is ruthless everywhere. I've forgotten about heartache."
Against the curse of the steel knight, I return it cold.
How familiar he is, such as the nature of the battle.
I don't even have to bother preaching.
But the steel knight had to resist.
You must have learned so much anger and hatred by now.
"I'm not very long. Before I bore you, I confess. Depending on the outcome, parents and children may be protected"
"Don't lie to me. You can't do that. You're an ugly immortal demon king."
"If you don't believe me, I'll show you proof."
I place my hand on the steel knight's shoulder and activate the metastatic magic.
As soon as I did, my surroundings suddenly became brighter.
We stayed far above as the sun fell.
Keep the force field on the floor to maintain altitude.
Beneath his eyes, the streets of Wangdu were spreading.
The steel knight groans as he looks down on the ground.
"This is..."
"It is the capital of the Demon King. For more than another year I have ruled"
Return an explanation to the Steel Knight question.
It has developed quite a bit, I think.
Initially, I wiped them all out, turning them into ruins with only the undead.
From there, nature and people came together to regrow to this point.
Pinching a tentative outlook, I propose to the Steel Knight.
"Let your wife and son live in this land. I don't have trouble working, I can live quite a rich life. Whatever your attitude."
So hang up the words and watch how things go.
The steel knight was trembling as he leaned down.
Sweat spreads down his neck muscles.
I'm sure there's a lot of intense grit in the back of my brain.
I don't make judgments, my mind is shaking.
After a long silence, the steel knight asks me in a voice that is about to be scratched off.
"... true, what. Are you sure your wife and daughter are gonna be okay?
"I want you to trust me"
I snort deeply.
Then there was a change in the face of the steel knight.
He exhales and weakens.
And I groaned and mouthed the answer.
"... ok. I'll tell you everything I know. So."
"Wife protects"
I proclaim in such a way as to overlap.
I was definitely going to protect this.
Heroes are trying to protect their families by abandoning everything they have.
I'm not rotten enough to be proud of that.
Steel knights have been watching me as I am sending instructions to a local snitch on a mindset.
I can't feel hatred anymore.
And it's a strange gaze.
It's not even an atmosphere where you're looking at it without any reason.
I was curious, I decided to ask what the intention was.
"What?"
"In my heart, I see distress. You have feelings for the immortal demon king."
…………
They were spotted.
I couldn't deny it.
I am always distressed.
There are certain things to do, but there were times in which I asked myself.
But it didn't start right now.
Now it wasn't like scratching from what was pointed out.
I know I am stupid and incapable of making decisions myself.
"Well, that's fine..."
The squealed steel knight looks down at Wang Du again.
In the wind blowing through, he tells me.
"If family tranquillity is promised, there is no remorse anymore. We can finally finish the raw."
The face was unexpectedly calm.
of those who have fulfilled their mission. That is
"O demon king. Waiting for your arrival."
"Future Forever, I'm Not Going To Destroy"
"Right. Then let's hope we never meet again."
The steel knight smiled, distorting his metal-mixed face.
