Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 54

——–

13. Repeated misunderstandings (2)

“Hello.”

It was extremely rare for dwarves to enter the human world. There has never been a time when someone spoke to me first like this.

“Let’s sit down first.”

He bowed his head at Deus’ words.

“I have something to tell you.”

“Take a drink. “When dealing with a drunk guy,

you have to be drunk as well.”

“Is that also human law?”

« O ” Hmm.

“I understand. “His Majesty has told you to be courteous, so you will do so.”

The dwarf sat down on a chair and drank the strong gogu magic.

Even when sitting on a chair, only his head stuck out above the table.

Bottles of alcohol were piled up on the table.

He pretended to decline, but quickly got drunk and said that the name of the dwarf

was Betel. “So, this is sweet potato magic?”

Vettel makes a crooked sound.

“It’s the name, but I heard it doesn’t taste like sweet potatoes at all. “Distilled liquor or something.”

“Even though it is bitter and has no taste, it goes away easily.”

“The snacks are delicious. Strangely enough, it tastes even better if you eat it with this. “Maybe it’s because the alcohol doesn’t taste good.”

“Maybe so. ah! “Personal letter.” While pouring and drinking, he seemed to have forgotten something important.

Bethel took the letter out of his pocket and handed it to Deus.

Deus immediately opened the letter.

It was a beautiful letter written in Jose’s official language in a carefully decorated style.

“I’m inviting you again.”

Deus handed over the letter to Yulgeum.

“It looks like we found a merchant who purchased goods from the Demon World. “I even sold it back to the dragons.”

Deus took the letter back and placed it in his hands.

A spark erupted under the fingernail and

turned the letter into a handful of ashes.

“Zeke!”

Zeke, who was doing business, looked back at Deus in surprise.

“Yes, Deus.”

“Starting tomorrow, we will be closing down our business for the time being.”

“Yes old!”

The group headed underground with the dwarf Bethel and arrived at the royal capital of Malkut at a much faster speed than before.

Kielce, the leader of the Southern Root Knights, was in the front row of the welcome group

to meet Zeke.

The group treated the queen privately in the throne room.

“May the blessings of the ten roots be upon you. How have you been?”

It was Deus who received the queen’s greeting.

“Oh, okay. “It looks like the queen was busy.”

“It was to keep my promise to you. “We dwarves always keep our word.”

“Thank you for that.”

“It’s not a story so light that it ends with just one word, thank you

. “To do your homework, we lost a city and a thousand subjects.”

“It looks like they are also being deceived by their subordinates.”

The queen sighed.

“I can’t say no! We dwarves are not ashamed to cunningly deceive people and take advantage. But at least once you make a promise, you never break it. In order to keep the promise I made to you, I called the representatives of the 77 merchants and had them report all the items they traded

. And we found out that one of them, the Ruler Company, was handling suspicious items.”

“Suspicious item?”

“It is a jewel of poison, mold, and dragons.”

“That’s what we’re looking for.”

“I thought that might be the case and tried to dig into it in detail. Then the leader of the ruler dared to show his teeth at Jim. They tried to stop Jim’s army by spraying poison and spreading mold. “The poison they use is incomparable in its severity.”

Knight Commander Kielce stepped forward and spoke.

“It was the same kind of poison that poisoned the village where I first met you. “For some reason, they attacked the same dwarves with poison.”

The queen shook her head.

“What a terrible story!”

“So, did you catch that guy who is supposed to be the ruler?”

“I missed it.”

“Ha, then what? Are you asking me to search this maze-like underground to catch a dwarf whose name I only know? “

It’s hard to tell the dwarfs apart because they all look the same.”

“It won’t be difficult to recognize you if you look for it.”

Baron Kielce opened his mouth.

“With this sword I cut off his right arm and scarred his face.”

“Did you escape and survive in that condition?”

“That’s right.”

Deus said, crossing his arms.

“good. Because it’s my job anyway. Instead,

can I get a document proving that I can freely roam this underground?” The Queen nods.

“do not worry. I will issue you a pass that will allow you to pass through not only our Southern Root Kingdom but also the 10 underground kingdoms. You bastards. “Find the shame of your clan so that they may be punished for their crimes.”

As soon as he left the dwarves’ castle, Deus caught a glance at the huge pillar blocking his path.

Southern roots.

I sighed briefly as I looked at

that smooth, huge pillar called the Pillar of Malkuth .

“butler.”

“Yes, my lord.”

“Can we find it?”

“It’s hard for me to give a definite answer.”

“I heard that the dwarf kingdom is bigger than the human kingdom.”

“The area may be small as it is made up of a common corridor, but it is intricately intertwined deep into the ground, making it many times more difficult to find people. Moreover, it is a situation where we do not know who is the enemy and who is our friend

.”

Deus let out a short snort and looked back at Yulgeum.

“Damn woman.”

“why? “A frivolous man.”

“Give me an idea.”

“What kind of ideas do you have? “Just look for it.”

“Someone who is constantly moving while searching through thousands of caves?”

“huh.”

“You do it yourself. I’m going back. “How many years will it take?”

“Hey…

Zeke interjected in a low voice.

“why?”

“What if we find a dragon or demon?”

“Go ahead.”

“It won’t be easy to find a dwarf in a dwarf village, but wouldn’t it be much easier for dragons and demons? “If it is certain that the Ruler family has made a deal with demons or dragons, they would be trying to meet them by now.”

“Hmm… That makes sense.”

Deus turned his eyes and looked at Alex

.

“Look for it.”

“Yes, my lord.”

“What are you going to do about that?” Yulgeum shrugged his shoulders.

“There is no way to fly. “Because we are human.”

“Well then, you can just hang out with us. Alex, just give me two days. “Come find me.”

“Is there a deadline?”

“I don’t think that would be fun for you too. “Are you asking me to give you a job worthy of your rank?”

“I will follow your orders, master.” Alex bowed and

disappeared into the darkness.

Zeke glanced at the figure.

I suddenly wondered what Alex’s identity was, but I quickly erased that thought from my mind.

“But is it really okay to do this?”

“Of course you can’t. “Because you’re a minor.”

“No, I’m not asking for a drink.”

“So what should I eat if I don’t drink at the bar

?”

A Q&A between Deus and Zeke continued.

The location was the main point of the capital of the Southern Root Kingdom.

The side dishes were cooked sausages smoked with minced meat from sheep intestines.

Even Deus could not help but be impressed by the numerous types of sausages of different colors and sizes.

Each recipe had its own unique flavor, ranging from oven-baked to pot-boiled, fried, and grilled.

“You call it beer?”

“yes. It is an alcoholic beverage made by fermenting barley and hops. Wheat is sometimes used, but in order to be recognized as an authentic beer, it is said that nothing other than fermented barley yeast and water should be added.”

“All the barley is imported by humans, right?”

“This is a harsh environment for plants to grow.”

“We sell minerals to buy food. “That must be the first premise of surviving underground.” “That is why the volume of trade per year

is said to

be enormous .”

“We even deal with dragons and demons.”

“I guess so.”

Deus put a bead-shaped sausage in his mouth and rolled it.

“Master Deus. Shouldn’t we go out and look for it too? If I leave everything to Alex…

“Is there any way to get out?”

“That’s right,

“Right now, the population here is in the thousands. There are a lot of houses too. Since it is a capital city, there are not only people living there, but

also people gathering to do business. “How many days do you think it would take to meet each person one by one?”

“That’s true, but aren’t two people better than one?”

“It’s the losers’ way of calculating. “Truly strong people don’t group up.”

“I think the case is a little different.”

“Leave it alone. “He is a person who lives by his own stubbornness.”

Yulgeum said, moistening his lips with beer.

“For now, just enjoy the snacks. “ After Alex comes back,

I’ll be busy again.”

“Is that so?”

Zeke smiled awkwardly, nodded, and stuck his fork into the sausage.

“Oh what. “You listened to what I said, but when Yulgeum spoke, you immediately agreed?”

“When did you start confronting me?”

“Look at this.”

“No, I just…

“You’ve grown up a lot, huh? “The thing that was next to me before, unable to breathe, caught a dragon and a hydra, but it looks like it can’t see anything.”

“No, nothing like that.”

Deus’s thirst was blocked by Yulgeum.

“Why are you holding the child? That is correct. “If you think about it, Zeke bought the dragon and he’s the hero’s subordinate, right?”

“Are you a colleague?”

“You may be a colleague in name, but if you look at it, you’re nothing without Zeke.”

“And what about that one?”

“I am a beautiful wizard.”

“beauty? On the topic of faces made by magic. Who knows if the main version will be shit?”

“Is it the same as the original version?”

“What are you talking about? “The main version is full of scales and even has horns.”

“He’s a loud and frivolous man.”

“It looks like it hurts because I got stabbed right in the head. “Isn’t it slippery because of the mucus?”

“Don’t treat me like a snake! “That is a huge insult.”

“What kind of tangible truth is insult?”

“Then you have a dark inside.”

“Black is beautiful.”

The moment Deus said this, he frowned.

Yulgeum, who was about to start a conversation, stopped talking, wondering what was going on.

“Okay, okay. You two get along well, so have fun. “I have to go out for a moment and come back.”

Suddenly he stood up.

Zeke looked to see if Deus was angry, but he didn’t look that way.

“Good. “Let’s just play together, leaving out the guy who is crooked at everything.”

Zeke’s cheeks blushed at Yulgeum’s words.

“That…

Zeke’s eyes fell from Deus

after he had completely left the bar.

A woman’s neck was caught in Deus’s grasp.

she was beautiful

If I had to choose among the many branches of beauty, it would be sensuality.

Her upper chest rose abundantly above her clothes, and her waist was so thin that it seemed like it was only a handful.

Wide pelvis, moderately fat lower abdomen, and calves without any flab.

There may be a more perfect beauty than her,

but it would be difficult to find a more attractive woman.

Her dark red hair fell down to her waist like a waterfall, and her long eyelashes cast a shadow around her sharp eyes.

“How should I kill you?”

The woman smiled at Deus’ question.

“My lord. “It feels like my womb is shaking with such thrilling spirit.”

“Because all you have left is your brain and uterus.”

“What brain do I have left? At least in times of pleasure, I often forget. But ho ho ho ho.
