The Strongest Wizard Becomes a Countryside Guardsman After Taking an Arrow to the Knee

After confirming that I looked like a demon king, I went back to the polar palace once.

Cruz smiles.

"Alsa! Congratulations!

"Huh?"

"No, I didn't think Al was the only one."

Cruz is nodding, yeah.

He doesn't seem to remember any hostility towards the Demon King.

"Cruz. Apparently, I'm the Demon King, but don't you have to take me down?

"Why is that?

Cruz doesn't know anything about it.

"Why, the brave will defeat the demon king."

"No, sir. You crusaded the former demon king because he started the invasion, didn't you?

"That may be..."

So Cruz thought.

Put your hands on your forehead, yeah, I'm roaring.

"Cruz, what's up?

"No, I don't know what to do when Mr. Al starts the invasion."

"Crusade after all?

"Hmmm......"

Cruz is serious about it.

I think about it. Not really, Morphy just approaches Cruz, who stopped moving.

You can wear clothes, smell them, lick them all you want.

He also hammered his hand, but he can't because he's holding his head with both hands.

"Let's start with Old Demon King Castle!

Cruz said something he didn't understand.

"What?"

"Cruz, what are you talking about?

Luca and I raised our doubts unexpectedly.

"What, it's a way to invade! I think it would be better to base the invasion on Demon King's Castle."

"Weren't you worried about whether Al, who became the Demon King, would crusade if the invasion began?

"Why should I crusade Al?

Cruz says that in the face.

"Say it when you invade! I'll help you too."

"Ooh... I appreciate that..."

"But you can't kill people! You look pathetic. Destroy the castle or go in the direction of surrendering!

Cruz's maneuver is overly optimistic.

You will not surrender to the extent that you have destroyed the castle.

"What are you talking about, Cruz and Al!

Luca was shuddered, but Yulina nodded contentedly when she saw it.

"Cruz is a companion. That's the good thing about Cruz."

"Can I just say that I think..."

Vivi takes my hand.

Morphy stopped by quickly when he saw it. Morphy's obsession with his hands has been amazing lately.

Maybe there wasn't enough skinship with the cow?

"It is not decided that the Demon King will always be king of the Demon Nation. You just have to like Al."

"Well, thanks."

"Of course you can be king of the demons."

"I'm not going to be king of the demons... I guess"

"I hope that's all right!

Somewhere Vivi seemed happy.

"In the meantime, you should hide what Al is called the Demon King."

"That's right. It's gonna be a big fuss."

If I knew I'd become the Demon King, the kingdom centre wouldn't be silent.

That's the same for church organizations and adventurer guilds.

And the radical demons must also start making noise. It could be a spark of war.

"Even if you're the Demon King, you're not going to do anything in particular. So I want you all to keep it to yourself."

I like working as a country guard.

The guards of the village of Murg are highly liberal. The guards are so loose that they don't even have to do their job properly.

It is an unthinkable looseness in the guards of the King's capital.

"You got it."

"Don't even report to the Adventurer Alliance."

"Don't even tell the church."

They all seem to keep it to themselves.

"Old man, Demon King is cool!

"Don't tell anyone in the village!

"Okay! I don't know."

Colette blocks her mouth with her hands with a serious face. Lovely.

"You mean me, the demon king's apprentice. He's cooler than a sage apprentice."

Millet jokes about it. I'm trying to soothe the air.

I'm glad I wasn't scared.

"Thanks Millet and Colette"

"? You're welcome"

"You don't have to worry about it, old man!

Luca says with a serious face.

"Nevertheless, I wonder how Al became the Demon King"

"Because Mr. Al is strong!

"I don't think you're going to be the Demon King because you're strong"

Timishoara shakes her head, as she denies Luca's words.

"No, basically they say the devil god prefers magical talent."

"Are you saying that Al was chosen because he was better at magic talent than the former demon king?

"Likely. God willing, of course. I don't know how many guesses we can make."

"I don't know God's will..."

"Uhm. Until now, the Demon King had been chosen for what was the best magical talent of his time. I just guessed from there."

I don't know God's will. I don't even know what the intent is.

But if past trends do, maybe that's what they are.

"How long have you been a demon king?"

Timi answers Luca's question.

"I thought it might be after defeating the Demon King."

"It seems likely that the Demon King was losing his protection when he was crusaded,"

"Arula, with her magical gift and abilities beyond the Demon King, would have lost the protection of God."

"So you've been a demon king since then?

Then it would mean that the brave man took the present demon king and defeated the former demon king.

"Just because the former demon king lost the protection of the demon god doesn't mean a new apostle will be born soon. It's just a real example from the past."

"I see."

"Something with talent beyond the Demon King, Arula, appeared, and the Demon Throne became vacant once. After that, Arla will most likely defeat the Demon King and assume the role of Demon King."

"Replacement? No, like a replacement."

"There are quite a few examples in the past that have happened."

And Timi glanced at my left knee.

"The immortal killer arrow is the realm of the reaper. So I guess it worked weakly for Al, who was protected by the demon god."

"It was pretty hard..."

When the stone grew, it hurt so much. Is that weak?

Timi strokes Sigishoara.

"I heard the last thing about my sister, too. He was screaming at the pain of the night."

"... right"

"My sister is highly spiritual and resistant to pain. Be clean, proud, and don't squeal if you don't have too much time."

Zilnidra may have been experiencing more pain than I was expecting.

"What?"

"Yes, my sister, I mean, she was fine."

"Ria."

Sigi leaned softly against Timi.

"And I guess if you use magic, you grow up because magic is the protection of the devil's god."

"Is that what this is about?"

"Uhm."

Yulina says as she looks at my knees.

"I was protected by the Demon God just after I defeated the Demon King... but the stones have been growing faster lately."

"Sure. I used to use magic, but the stones didn't grow."

"You've only been using it a little lately and you're starting to grow up."

says Timi, who was stroking Sigi.

"Hmm. Then I think the Apostle of the God of Death, the Dead King, is in charge."

"Well, that's troublesome."

"You must give priority to talking to the Death King."

Now that we have a policy for the future, we have decided to return to the village of Murgu.

"Arla, this treasure belongs to the Lord."

"Are you sure?

It is a magical map that shows the position of God's messenger in the example.

"Mm-hmm. It was Arula who entrusted the jade seal to me from my sister. And without this, it's gonna be hard to find the Death King."

"Right. Then I'll borrow it."

I take care of the map in my magic bag.

Everyone is walking towards the Transition Magic Formation.

I whisper to the femme beside me, watching everyone behind me.

"Thank God"

"Wahu?

"That's when you got between me and Cruz. You tried to protect me."

When Cruz pointed me out to be the Demon King, Fem quickly got me in between.

And he threatened Cruz, and he roared at me.

Cruz is a brave man. No matter how many Demon Wolf King Taru Demon Wolf fems you can beat.

Still, he stood up to me.

"Wahoo! No, it's not!

"What do you mean?

"Er..."

"Thanks anyway. I was so happy."

I hugged Femme all the time.

"Wahoo."

Femme waved her tail slowly as she rang in a small voice.
