Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 288
65. Meet the Fairy King (1)
A wharf house has opened at the beach restaurant.
On the outside, it didn’t look much different from the Surfer House next door.
The pillars were made of wood and the roof was made of palm leaves.
But inside, the warp gate glowed and fluttered.
The place where the warp gate was connected
was none other than Rosdia.
Yulgeum sighed and said to Skatul.
“Can I just stop something like that?”
“It was the master who ordered it, so he is responsible.”
“Who cares? “They say the magic of the fairies is great.”
“There is already a warp gate between Holly Spindle Castle and Rosdia.”
“Boundaries are increasingly collapsing.”
“Who cares about warp gates when the continent of Jose has crashed
? Soon the humans of the Jose Continent will discover the land of mugwort. “The era of pioneers will begin.”
“It was the age of great pioneering…
Because this island where Deus settled was in the middle of the sea, there were only a few mugwort monsters.
What little there was had already been hunted and turned into meat.
This was a paradise island.
It would have taken quite a long time for humans to arrive here, but the area around the continent of Jose was a completely different story. “Ten years ago
, a mugwort monster first appeared on the Jose continent .
Even humans would be embarrassed if they were suddenly faced with multiple monsters. But…
“It’s as if the volcanic eruption 10 years ago served as a preventive measure.”
Yulgeum was once again amazed by God’s arrangement.
Was this even in his calculations?
Humans learned how to hunt mugwort monsters through past events.
The continent of Jose falls to the ground, and the seemingly endless earth stretches out in front of it
.
Occupying that land were two giant, low-intelligence monsters called mugwort monsters. O =
Nong =
To be honest, they were nothing more than food for mankind.
Whether it’s a 5-meter-tall giant elephant or a 2-meter-tall saber-toothed tiger with curved fangs like a bow, there are no enemies of mankind.
What will happen to the shackles of war with demons?
Wouldn’t it already be meaningless? Wouldn’t
it be a while before we throw the continent of Jose
to the demons and run towards a new world that is a thousand times or ten thousand times bigger than that?
It’s a new era.
A true chaos unfolds before us, in which all order has become meaningless.
At that time, Deus walked with long strides and approached where Yulgeum and Skatu were.
“What are you two talking about again?”
“Not really.”
Deus
smiled at Yulgeum’s cold answer and sat down next to him.
“I got a good idea.”
“Yes, I will refuse.”
“That’s what I said to the butler.”
“You mean me?”
“that’s right. “Do you remember what the biggest profit has been these days?”
“well. “Isn’t it the dragon’s weapon?”
“No, no, that’s because it cost a lot of money. “You used up all of it to decorate Rosdia.” “That’s
because we overinvested in defensive magic, fearing that Nezar might attack from the sky again .
“It is in vain, strong now that the threat is gone.”
“therefore. They say that if you open a store, you will survive at the front and lose at the back. “I spend a lot of money on upkeep and maintenance even if I don’t pay rent.”
“Otherwise, there are quite a few Holly Spindle rock hills left.”
“yes? Of course, real estate is the best place to rip off wealthy people. At most, land is all about living on it, farming it, or doing business there and leaving a mark on it, right? “Considering the income,
there is no reason for it to be more expensive than a certain level, but I am willing to pay more than it is worth because of the vain delusion that it will continue to rise endlessly.”
Scatul laughed.
“There are people who benefit in the meantime.”
“That should be me, right? “Everything outside the continent of Jose is my land.”
“Since when did it start like that?”
“It’s pretty good. So I thought I’d try selling some land. But what is the first condition for land that can be sold?”
“well. I don’t know.
“Is it a land with fertile soil?”
“Why don’t we start by reforming the poor economic concept that is tied to that primary industry? “The value of land is firstly accessibility, secondly accessibility, and thirdly accessibility.”
“You mean transportation?”
“A place along the main road in a big city where people frequently go. “That’s always the case with valuable land.”
“In that sense, your land is worthless. “The no-man’s land is full of animals, making passage almost impossible.”
“So I got it for a cheap price.”
“…Aren’t you just unilaterally insisting that it’s mine?”
“If no one objects, it’s mine.”
“What if someone objects?”
“You just have to get rid of it.”
“I thought so.”
Yulgeum opened his mouth.
“Are you planning on continuing that trivial story?”
“If you don’t want to hear it, you can go away.”
“I don’t want to hear it, but I’m curious about the story behind it. So how are you going to sell it?”
“All we have to do is turn it into land that can be sold.”
“So how?”
“Warp!”
“no.”
“I should start a company. An ultra-long-distance transportation company powered by great fairies! It’s good, right? “It will help create jobs for the fairies, so the butler will not be particularly opposed to it.”
Scatul scratched his cheek.
“Well… I don’t have anything to say since you call me great.”
“You said Earth, right? We’re installing a war pro transportation network all over this planet. If we do that
, land prices in the surrounding area will rise, right? “I’m going to make a lot of money.”
“You are becoming the railroad king of the new century.”
“Railway King?”
“It’s a very old form of transportation.”
“Well, any name is fine. “Guide me to the king of the fairies.”
“As for Babel and Raguel…
Skatul spoke and then closed his mouth again.
It was such a stupid question.
That’s it.
And this is it.
Several days have passed.
“It occurred to me… Isn’t it possible that dwarves inherited the gold relics and fairies inherited the silver relics?”
The first time Deus said this was at Hollywoods, northeast of Jose Tail Woods.
This forest, the most sacred in the world, was the village where the first warrior was born.
A couple who committed a minor crime and ran away settled down with the help of a fairy and had a child.
Since he was originally a shoemaker, he made a living by making and selling shoes for fairies.
A shoemaker’s son is a shoemaker.
They abandoned their original surname and borrowed the name of this forest, which is Pan Holliuz.
It was the very name that became the origin of all heroes.
Yulgeum, who was walking side by side, nodded.
“that’s right.”
“Was that really the concept?”
“The concept is…
Because we can’t kill everyone.”
“Are you his descendant?” “O”
o“.
“Were humans of the Gilded Age short?”
“Adapa’s wicked poor people… Nezar’s children later made them small. That’s the dwarf.”
“One more loss for the demons. Why can’t the seven peacocks come up with such novel tricks? Then why do fairies have pointy ears? “Because of the appearance, it is difficult to tell whether it is a woman or a man.”
“It’s a look that was popular at the end of the Silver Age
.”
“You have unique tastes. “So are humans the same as they were before?”
“There is nothing special about original. This is because humans have evolved into numerous forms depending on the region and environment. “Today’s humans have evolved to suit the continent of Jose.”
Now Hollywoods was being treated as a sacred forest.
Hunting and logging were prohibited in a 5km area, and the forest maintained the appearance of a huge primeval forest, with only a small carriage road left.
Passing through that dense forest where the sun rarely shines, it was no one else but Zeke who was buried in the most emotions.
Zeke looked up at the forest sky.
It felt like the forest was talking to me. The owners of that voice must be our distant ancestors living in the forest.
And… the fourth person here now was none other than Skatul.
Scatul el Torre.
It is the name of a fairy. He borrowed the life of a fairy to meet Deus.
If you think about it, the relationship with the fairy is only that much.
When I went to meet the god of fairies, I felt uneasy.
It was difficult to predict what people would think of me, who had sneaked in without permission.
“You look nervous?”
Skatul laughed at Deus’ sudden question.
“That can’t be right.”
“No, I was never nervous. Are you that scared? “A guy called the Fairy King?”
“He is a merciful man.”
“But why do you look like that?”
“Does my expression look strange?”
“ O ” o.
“Haha… that’s strange.”
At that time, a woman joined the group’s conversation.
“It’s understandable to be nervous. “Because you wouldn’t want to meet me
.”
At this moment, Deus was a little surprised.
It was only when I opened my lips, right before I heard her voice, that I felt her presence. But Deus
knew it
the moment he saw her .
“It appears again.”
The woman with light green hair
wore nobility like a garment.
At the same time, half of his face was covered by large glasses that did not suit an angel or fairy.
“also? Do you know me?”
“Maybe it’s the Fairy King or something. That’s not what I say or what I mean. What is your real name? Zafkiel? Hamiel? Or is it Raphael or Uriel?”
she laughed
But the corners of his eyes hardened indifferently. He seemed quite surprised.
“I heard a lot of people say that 666 years old is a weirdo, but… I never
thought that they would be able to see my true face. I will not deceive you with a false name. I am Raziel, Lord of Wisdom and King of the Elves. But for now, I think it would be appropriate to introduce you to Elandras.”
“ah! That’s why the butler was nervous. “He must have been acting arbitrarily like a fairy.”
Ellandra, the Fairy King, smiled.
“It’s shameful that he didn’t consult me, but he was just doing his own thing.”
Scatul’s
face stiffened awkwardly at the word “scandalous. ”
“sorry.”
“You are none other than Skatul El Tor’a, and my name is King of the Elves of Elandras.”
Scatul still couldn’t raise his bowed head.
Elandras said, looking back at Deus and his group.
“Master Deus, Master Zeke, and Master Yul Geum. I invite you to my palace. Please grace the occasion.”
Zeke bowed his head politely and
Yulgeum also bowed.
When Elandras waved his hand, light powder spewed out and fell to the floor.
Vines grew and a door appeared between them.
When Deus passed through the door, a completely different scenery unfolded before him.
The endless trees spread beneath our feet like a carpet.
The palace of Elandras was located like another tree on top of a huge tree.
Uberbaum.
Among the fairies, Uberbaum is a special place that only great beings of the Imam level can step on.
Deus saw the forest from the balcony of Elandras Palace.
The fresh green that spread out like the sea was just the top of a forest that grew as dense as a jungle.
The scent of the forest filled my nostrils. Even the wind seemed indigo-colored.
The senses of touch and smell were much richer and more diverse than sight.
That is the forest.
“First and foremost,
I would like to thank you on behalf of the fairies.”
Elandras bowed his head.
“why?”
“Because you prevented the destruction of the continent of Jose.”
“Oh, something like that happened. Please note that we do not accept apologies or thanks made with bare mouth. “You seem to have forgotten, but the mining rights to open pit mining on Mount Agaiatta are mine.”
“I haven’t forgotten. “That contract still exists.”
“okay?”
“You are the one who is not mining.”
“Butler! Find out right away.”
Scatul scratched his cheek with an awkward expression.
“We will restore the mine’s mining line as soon as possible.”
“Time is money.”
“I know.”
Scatul bowed his head and left the palace.
Perhaps because I was able to avoid awkward places, I walked faster than ever.
