Why I Quit Being the Demon King

Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 122

28. A new start (3)

After taking a few sips in succession, my mouth became sore. Then I looked at the table and saw that there was nothing there other than a glass of wine.

“I haven’t even ordered snacks yet.”

Oridon raised his hand.

An employee rushes over to say hello.

“Did you call me?”

“I’m trying to order some snacks. “What’s better?”

“The fried potatoes and chicken dishes are famous.”

“Then please take that as a favor.”

“Yes, I will get better.”

After ordering the snacks, the tension eased a bit.

Oridon let out a laugh.

“I never thought there would come a day when the Zodiac Knights of the world would be nervous.”

“If we talk about the world, we are like dust.”

“Aren’t you beating yourself up too much? “I am quite proud of being a Zodiac Knight.”

“That goes for me too.”

At that time, someone at the table next to me pretended to know.

“hello. “Do you remember

me?”

Cadenza and Oridon turned their heads.

It was a young woman.

She’s quite beautiful and has a good look.

Oridon said ah! He let out an exclamation.

“Are you the same person I saw at the South Warbler Pavilion?”

Cadenza also remembered her a little too late.

He was a teacher who took care of young warriors, including Zeke’s two younger brothers, Signy and Regin.

“thank god! “I was so anxious about what would happen if I tried to talk and was ignored.”

She smiled brightly.

“How could you ever forget such a beauty?”

Her cheeks turned red at Oridon’s joke.

“Oops! My name is Jebia. “This is Ranfri, who is also working as a teacher.”

Jebia introduced a colleague.

Ranfri smiled and nodded when he heard that these were knights that Jebia knew. Then, I was surprised when I heard Jebia’s introduction.

“These are the Zodiac Knights.”

“Really?”

“Not really.”

It didn’t take even a few seconds for colleague Lanfri’s eyes to change to a light of adoration.

There was no further conversation to be had.

From the perspective of ordinary teachers, the opponents

were people in very high positions.

Even the Dukes found it difficult to speak to the Zodiac Knights first.

It was at a time when the conversation was about to end.

Cadenza opened his mouth.

“If it’s not rude, how about we join us here?”

The women were surprised by his story.

But Oridon also looked just as surprised.

Was this guy that horny?

It is true that the other person is quite a beautiful woman.

It wasn’t long before Oridon’s misunderstanding was resolved.

Cadenza asked, looking at Jebia.

“How are Signi and Regin doing?”

Jebia was surprised.

“Ah, those children…

Ranfri, like Jebia, was taking care of the warriors.

She asked Cadenza back.

“You mean the Holly Beach family siblings. How do you know? “ Did those kids

do anything rude?”

“No, that’s not it…

“They’re good kids. I would not have done anything that would cause trouble to others. Oh, do you have a part-time job at Cadenza’s family? “You said it was the Holly Peach family, right?”

Ranfri seemed to be quite a chatty young lady.

Jebia said, pulling his friend’s arm.

“It’s not like that, I guess you got to know the kids’ older brother where you are currently deployed.”

“Ah, you mean that contract warrior brother.”

“I said it was class B.”

“I heard you paid money to buy it?” Cadenza cleared his throat. The conversation between the two teachers was interrupted.

“Zeke is our friend.” Jebia was surprised.

“Was that story true? “Didn’t you just mean that you were an acquaintance?”

“Is something strange?”

“Of course. Zodiac Knight is friends with a B-class hero…

“Zeke is not a B-class hero.”

“Yes, I know. Youngae and youngsiks from other families said it was F-level. “If you receive an F grade for several generations, it will remain that way.”

Cadenza shook his head.

“The rank of a warrior is not determined that way. “God will give the blood level to the extent possible.”

“Still, it seems to be true that your skills are not that great. There was also a warrior from the family of Poms Castle, close to Zoryx, who told us various stories about the situation in northern Gelon.”

Cadenza sighed briefly at Jebia’s words.

She lowered her head in surprise.

“sorry. “I didn’t mean to offend you.”

“Let’s stop talking about this. Rather, tell me about Cygni and Regin.”

Lanfri received the conversation.

“They’re good kids, really. I went to a private warrior academy with the money my brother earned. The children, who are only 10 and 5 years old,

seem to have already grown up and understand that their older brother earns money through hard work. “Not only am I working hard at my studies, but I also work part-time here and there whenever I have free time.”

“If it’s a part-time job…

“It seems like I mostly do things like washing dishes or cleaning.”

“Why does a warrior’s family do such a thing?”

Oridon shook his head.

“That’s because the contract warrior family hardly ever gets a pension. It seems that the older brother named Zeke has been doing various things since he was less than 10 years old.

“Because it was very difficult at home.”

Oridon sighed.

Cadenza spoke again.

“Where are Signy and Regin now? Are you still staying at the South Warbler Pavilion?”

“yes. The northeast direction is dangerous, so there are many young warriors who have not yet returned home. “I am living in the dormitory with them.”

“It would be possible to have a meeting, right?” The two teachers nodded.

“If Zodiac Knights come, of course it is possible.”

“okay. “Then I guess I should come visit you sometime soon.”

“Kids will love it too. “I’m depressed because I’m away from my family.”

For about an hour after that, Cadenza asked the two teachers in detail about Zeke’s younger brothers.

Oridon loosened the reins of the conversation by telling a different story.

It seemed that Cadenza had already decided on a goal.

Oridon

did his best to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings for his comrades who tended to only look ahead and run.

Separate Zeke from Deus.

And Deus’ true identity is revealed to the world.

In order to complete the command given by the Archangel, the two Zodiac Knights began to be busier than ever.

“I will follow you unconditionally.”

Lexia came to see Zeke.

It was just as I was about to leave Dongmun to go hunting.

Her white war horse

was loaded with three swords, two shields, and a long-hilted spear.

Zeke looked back in confusion. It was to obtain permission from Deus.

“Are you dead yet? “I thought he was dead because I couldn’t see him.”

“The Holyoke family is a prestigious family in Joricks. I’m working non-stop. Even now, I barely found time to come…

“Then go and take care of your busy work. “Because we have to prepare for business.”

“I heard a rumor. What on earth are you trying to get Zeke to do? Zeke is a hero who is just starting to emerge.

“I’m not free enough to just hunt for ingredients for the restaurant!”

“This is my main job. I am the one who pays the salary. So don’t disturb me and go back.”

“I don’t need your permission to go anywhere. “Zeek, let’s go together.”

“I heard you don’t have enough time to hunt for food?”

“I will come with you and help you grow.”

“Who helps who? “I’m glad you didn’t disturb me.”

Deus entered the carriage window again.

Lexia stuck her tongue out at him and kept pace with the horse Zeke was riding.

After Nezar, slave number 3 and Zeke’s first slave, participated, Zeke was able to ride a horse separately.

Lexia glanced at Zeke.

As he put on armor made of dragon scales and similar materials, rode a war horse, and began to look like a proper knight.

He also seemed to be a little tall.

When I first visited Zeke not long ago, he was shorter than me, but now his height is slightly higher.

“Senior Lexia.”

“Huh?”

“Thank you for always worrying about me.”

Lexia closed her mouth.

After remaining silent for a long time, she suddenly lowered her head.

“Sorry. “Because I can’t be of any help.”

“yes?”

“Your father and uncle were bullying you… and I couldn’t do anything

. He was even thrown in prison for no fault of his own. “I just watch it.”

“Oh, what happened that day?”

“I’m such a bad girl.”

“Don’t blame yourself. “It is a legitimate exercise of authority by the lord.”

“That’s not right. “Zeek, what an amazing thing you have done for Young-ji.”

“I really don’t mind. It was difficult for you, too. It was too big an ordeal to bear. Fortunately, it passed safely, so my lord

will grow into an even better monarch.”

“Ah, you are so kind, but why did you get your nose pierced by someone like that?”

“Deus is a good person. “It’s just a little difficult to talk about.”

“Are there any bad people among you?”

“There are no bad people in the world. “I do make mistakes because of my greed.”

As Zeke spoke, he suddenly remembered the Cardinal whose head the Zodiac Knights had cut off not long ago.

He put hundreds of knights at risk for reasons of respect or something else.

Should we dismiss that as a mistake too?

I immediately shook my head.

“Sometimes there are bad people.”

“Of course there is. There is good because there is evil. “We warriors exist to cut down evil.”

“Of course demons are absolutely evil.” As I crossed the hill outside the East Gate, a different world unfolded.

The plain outside of Zoryk Castle was farmland that had been completely cleared.

But now, the farmland has been destroyed by giants and mugwort monsters, so the farmland is no longer functioning properly.

Moreover, mugwort grasses had an uncanny ability to grow. Jungles have already appeared here and there.

As the scenery changed and the animals running around changed, I wondered if this was really Joe Ricks’ estate where he was born and raised.

“mammoth!”

At that time, Deus stuck his upper body out the carriage window and shouted.

“Slaves! Grab that!”

“I am a butler.”

Scatul replied and drove the carriage towards the mammoth.

The contaminated mammoth itself

looked like a walking castle.

“Go away! “It’s Juldong!”

“Yes Deus!”

Before Deus could finish speaking, Zeke raised his spear and rushed forward.

Lexia immediately followed him.

I may not know Zeke in everyday life, but in a situation about to go into battle, there was no friend more reliable than him.

No, it wasn’t a colleague.

From some point on, Lexia herself had been completely dependent on him.

Just as other warriors and wizards rely on warriors.

Zeke’s spear went deep into the mammoth’s ankle.

The mammoth reacted slowly. He turned his head and looked at his hind legs.

Zeke discarded the spear, which was too deep to fall out, and drew his sword.

It was a world-class sword given by Doomsrino Yulgeum.

Even though it has been through quite a tough battle so far, its sharpness has not diminished at all.

He grabbed his shield and sword and burrowed between the mammoth’s legs.

Zeke did not back down even an inch against a gigantic monster that made him fear for

his life just by being kicked or stepped on .

Rather, a light appeared in his eyes.

I have already learned how to overcome fear.

Every time I felt weak, I thought of Deus’ eyes.

As soon as he got the idea that he was expecting, a surge of strength surged through his entire body.

The warrior is not alone.

Together with countless colleagues, we protect more humanity.

As long as the main premise was not forgotten, the warrior’s power was infinite.
