The Strongest Wizard Becomes a Countryside Guardsman After Taking an Arrow to the Knee
444 The story of 300 years ago
The modern environment surrounding the demons must have been much better than it was 300 years ago.
Still, there are not many who do terrible things.
That's what the previous lord of Cruz in Murg village was like.
There are a lot of victims of that kind of guy.
Even though he was a child, so was Tanto, and Rare, the father of the demon tribe.
"There are still people who really do terrible things. You can enslave them for no good reason."
Such is Ex.
"Ex saved a family of enslaved demons when he was expelled from the Marquis and playing adventurer."
Berda was stroking Ex's head with me.
"It's hard to do. Ex"
"Ah, thank you."
Berda is right, it's not something we can do.
The Marquises are driven out and dropped by civilians.
If you see something like that, you'll do your best to live.
No one can blame it.
That's why it's so good to get out of this situation.
Ex, you're doing great.
"I think so too!
Everyone praised Ex.
"What's the slave family doing now?
"I work in the Marquis of Halewood mansion."
Ex answers Vivi's question with a smile.
He had me live in his own house until he became Marquis.
And he became the Marquis, and he came with him when he returned to the land, and now his parents were all the subjects of the Marquis.
The Marquis salary is not low. It seems like I can live with my family enough.
"That's a good thing. Thank you for being the same demon."
Vivi, a demon, also nodded with a mysterious expression.
"I can't thank you enough....."
Is it illuminated? Ex makes her face bright red.
Moko, who was listening, said.
I see. Three hundred years later, the discrimination against the demons still persists. "
"Sorry. We just don't have enough power."
I'm sure Berda feels responsible because he's royal.
"Just because you're royalty doesn't make you responsible."
"Even so, it shouldn't be completely irresponsible."
"Verda has a strong sense of responsibility. I see. I see.... slightly similar."
"... what does it look like?
"To the royal family of three hundred years ago."
Said to resemble a responsible ancestor, Berda had a complex expression.
I don't think I can say anything.
Royalty is secured by blood.
Therefore, as much as you enjoy royal status and privileges, you should also assume the responsibilities associated with the actions of your ancestors.
And there are still demons who can be bullied.
The royal family could not create a country where the demons could not be oppressed for 300 years.
"I feel ashamed as a royal."
"The status quo is not enough. But it's getting better little by little."
Isn't that right?
"Oh, and if there's a royalty like Berda, there's hope for the future."
"Alura-sama...."
Berda's eyes were slightly moist.
Cruz, meanwhile, asks Moko.
"Did you succeed in the challenge of saving the oppressed demons 300 years ago?
"Not enough, but it worked pretty well."
"That's amazing. It may be difficult for me to do it."
"But the sacrifice was great."
"Sacrifice?"
Ah.
Three hundred years ago, the brave moved with Moko from Murg village to Elke.
Because Elke was the most demonic and oppressed.
At first, the brave tried to save the demons who were oppressed by moderate means.
But in the first place, after the demon king was crushed, the hero himself was coldly encountered.
None of the rulers listened to the brave man.
"Still, my Lord has been patient and patient."
While complaining to the lord, he also crushed the mighty monster that the lord had burned his hands in the meantime for free.
I used what I earned when I was an adventurer to cook up against a hungry demon.
"But the negotiations didn't work out at all."
"Hmm? But did it work somewhat?
Cruz asked and Moko nodded deeply.
"Hmm, that's the result of the next phase of our activities."
He was a brave man who continued to negotiate peacefully and persistently, but there was an incident that could not be tolerated.
A certain nobleman hunted a demon tribe he bought as a slave.
The furious brave protested to the lord, but he couldn't hear me at all.
On the contrary, the nobles were even trying to hunt the demons on a larger scale.
It seems that hunting humanoid creatures was a great pleasure for the aristocrats.
"The day of the large-scale demon hunt. The brave man headed for the hunting ground. And when the hunt started, I hunted the other way."
"On the contrary, what do you mean you hunted? I knew it....."
"Contemporary brave man. You're right. The brave hunted for the nobles."
The nobles, who thought that they were on the side of hunting unilaterally and safely, cried as they were on the side of being hunted.
I cried for help and begged for my life.
Even though they smiled and killed the demons begging for their lives.
