Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 239

55. Obtaining the key to victory (1)

“It’s a country… I only graduated from elementary school, so it might be difficult to explain it plausibly.”

“Brother, I dropped out of elementary school.”

Since there were no customers, Signi also sat in the front seat of the kitchen.

Deus laughed.

“I learned about slaughter, destruction, torture, and plotting at school,

so I am a bit weak in general education. So, you are a highly educated person.”

Actually, it wasn’t an exaggeration. In this era, a low-level official could pass the exam without having received six years of education.

Because most people were unable to write their names.

“From what I learned, permanent residents and permanent resident territory are the three elements of a nation.”

“Permanent residents, permanent residency and territory? A. There must be people, a monarch, and land. “Isn’t that such an obvious answer?”

“Well… that’s all I know. “For anything difficult, ask Yulgeum.”

“Well, her bag strap is a bit long.”

It has been a long time since Yulgeum got off work.

Genet and his companions often spent time there, perhaps because they were concerned that they were in a land contaminated with mugwort.

“I’m glad though. Because the dwarves of the Southern Root Clan decided to migrate in large numbers. “It looks like Baron Kielce is still alive.”

“Not only is he alive,

but if he hadn’t protected the gate alone, the entire Southern Root Clan would have been annihilated. “It seems like he was quickly promoted to the title of Duke.”

“ah! Now you are the Duke of Kielce. “I have to go see you sometime.”

“Shall we take a day off from business tomorrow and then come back?”

“Is it possible to go there in one day?”

“Why don’t we go and test the warp gate?”

“It hasn’t been made yet.”

“I made one for my own use. “As long as you don’t stick your arms out when passing

, you will be able to use them safely.”

“Like that black bead?”

” that’s right.”

“I think it would be fun to go there once. “I’m also curious about how things are progressing.”

Signy joined the conversation.

“If I’m curious, I want to see Migo and Regin.”

“Everyone will be fine.”

Deus tried to sum it up in one word. In particular , it was difficult

because every time Migo’s story went on, Signi burst into tears .

Zeke said.

“They said that Regin is still on trial.”

“Is that something that will take that long?”

“Because there is no way to confirm whether he is a biological child or not. “Because the crux of the case is whether or not the child she gave birth to, Haril, Miss H, is Regin’s child.”

Deus said as he emptied his glass.

“If you ask Nezar, you’ll find out quickly. “It seemed like

he could figure out exactly what was flowing through his veins .”

“The problem is that you can’t do that.”

“If that bastard had just stayed quietly under me, I would have had a good time here working as a waiter.”

Signi laughed.

“Are you talking about the king of the world and a restaurant worker in the same place?”

“It’s better than being my enemy.”

“Ah, after hearing that, I think being an employee is a better position.”

“Speaking of which, should we go now? “I wonder what you’re doing.”

Deus jumped up from his seat.

“Signi, please clean up after the business today.”

“You’re not taking me with you?”

“It’s a shame to burn this warp gate. It’s for cargo. “If it is made for passengers later, go with it.”

“all right. “You can’t.”

Deus immediately created a black bead in front of his hand.

Zeke jumped into it first, and then Deus disappeared.

Black beads

were paired with white beads.

In the case of Yulgeum, even the white beads for warp-out could be created and removed at will, but the only thing Deus could make was black beads.

Now, the white bead on the other side was connected to the back garden of a castle standing on an unnamed mountain ridge.

“Oh, it’s daytime here.”

“I see. Is it like magic?”

Zeke looked up at the sky.

“Does it look like the real sun?”

“Dragons are good at magic, so they may have created an artificial sun.”

“If such technology were available, there would be no need for the demon world and the human world to go to war. “All we have to do is create an artificial sun in the sky of the Demon World.”

“It’s always a battle of firsts and lasts.”

“What could be more important than that?”

Deus looked back at the sponsor without much response to Zeke’s words.

Only a month had passed, but the castle was already in good shape.

There was a lot of stone nearby, and the power of the dragon and the technology of the dwarves were added.

“You’re here.”

Before they knew it, Yulgeum was next to the two of them and spoke to them.

“Zeek said he was curious.”

“I was wondering if my short charcoal friends are doing well.”

Yulgeum responded to Zeke with a smile and said.

“That’s the real sun. “There is a big difference in longitude here from the Jose continent, so the time is different.”

“Longitude?”

“Yeah, so the world is round like this, right? The sun is here and

the continent of Jose is here. And this is where this castle Rosdia is located. That’s why it’s midnight on the continent of Jose, but it’s midday here.”

Originally, the place where this castle was located was called ‘Ciudad de los Angeles’ during the Gilded Age.

After hearing this, Deus immediately changed the name to Ciudad de los Diablo, the City of Demons.

It was too long, so most people called it Rosdia.

Zeke spun around and looked closely at the three-dimensional painting that Yulgeum had drawn in the air.

After looking at it for a bit, I thought I could understand it.

“ah! “Then the time must be different in each city.”

” that’s right.”

“How amazing. “I’ve never thought about it.”

“You want to see the dwarves?”

“Ah yes.”

“Follow me. We built a research lab deep in the rocky mountain behind the castle. “If you leave it on the ground, it could be destroyed by Nezhar’s attack.”

“Does Nezar care? “ This

much power.”

Deus said, placing his clasped hands on the back of his neck.

In fact, from the outside, this castle was just a castle standing in front of a cliff with an excellent view.

There were only a few dozen dragons, a few hundred humans and fairies, and a few thousand dwarves living in that castle.

“I’m sure they’ll be watching.”

Yulgeum pointed his finger upwards.

Nezhar was now ruling the outer reaches of this star. He will

create more and more star servants

and try to obtain all of the stars.

The place we arrived at following Yulgeum was an elevator that led underground.

The dwarves were making machines to their heart’s content here.

The synergy created by the combination of the ancient wisdom of dragons including Yulgeum, the creative ideas of humans, the harmonious thinking of fairies, and the dexterity of dwarves was by no means small.

The elevator went down about 200 meters along the crevice in the cliff.

The reason this place was chosen as a castle site was because of the underground cavity below.

There was enough space underground to accommodate thousands of people.

“It’s an artifact!”

As soon as Zeke stepped into the cave, he let out an exclamation.

The wall was rough but flat.

An iron rod or something was stuck in the gray wall. What looked like long, stretched lines were also visible here and there.

Although it was unclear what exactly the equipment was for, it was clear that it had been made by human hands.

“It’s a bunker.”

“Bunker

“It is a refuge place created by humans out of fear of mugwort fire. “When the fire of mugwort covered the world, I forgot that a place like this even existed, so I couldn’t write about it.”

Zeke smiled bitterly at Yulgeum’s explanation.

“Humans often don’t know whether they are wise or foolish.”

Rosdia’s underground bunker was largely divided into three parts.

Their respective purposes

were residential and warehouse sanitary facilities.

In Rosdia, one of the warehouses was currently being used as an armory.

A crane on wheels was installed along the ceiling and a huge magic furnace was built.

Many dwarves were working there, working bellows, pounding hammers, and making weapons for the dragons.

A man walked forward and came in front of Yulgeum.

“Yulgeum! I completed the multi-shot magic bullet. “It can fire 36 magic bullets simultaneously and three

magazines are loaded into one launcher.”

He was smiling brightly and had a spherical face.

The name is Agusta. This is a sapphire dragon that was once captured by Deus and imprisoned.

“If two launchers are installed under both wings, 72 spells can be used simultaneously. And that too three times. “If you return to base and change the magazine… it’s all on you!”

Agusta, who was talking, made eye contact with Deus.

I was so scared that I took a step back without even realizing it.

“Do you know me?”

Deus asked back.

“Agusta. I was in a situation where I was even tortured by you. But now that I’m employed by you… I can’t be angry.”

“is it? “Well, as long as you don’t get angry, it’s okay.”

Deus brushed it off as if it was no big deal and looked back at the armory where he was conducting research.

Several arms and weapons had already been completed.

The first thing that caught my eye was the armor

to cover the dragon’s body .

Since each dragon had a different appearance, there were many different types of armor.

Deus approached one of them and stroked its surface with his hand.

I felt magical power. The magic metal made by smelting special ores was more stable than steel in both tensile strength and surface hardness.

In addition, dragon scales were used in the armor that covered weak points.

No matter how hard a dragon’s body was, it was bound to suffer internal injuries if it was hit directly by an enemy attack.

Armor was able to reduce the shock to the body by receiving shock from the outside instead.

“As expected, dwarves are skilled.”

Zeke was also looking into the same thing as Deus.

“There’s even fairy magic mixed in here.”

“Ah, you learned the basics of magic from Skathul.”

“yes. So I’m familiar with fairy magic. “It’s the same with black magic.”

“What do you think? “If you wear something like this, you won’t be afraid of the Giant God Troops, right?”

“Dragons are clearly superior in terms of physical ability alone. “With the help of armor and weapons, the dragon army will be much stronger than the giant god army.”

Agusta nodded.

“It’s just as you said. It is said that our clan suffered great damage from the giants in the war that ended not long ago. “We must be fully prepared so that we can take revenge on them.”

At that time, a loud bell was heard from inside the armory.

Agusta said to Zeke.

“It looks like your friends are back

. Go to the deepest part of the arsenal.”

At the end of the huge underground space, there was an old-fashioned building that seemed to have been built just recently.

The place, with its large cranes emitting steam and piles of ore, was a stopping point for pit trucks traveling underground.

A pit truck loaded with ore was pulled in by a magic stone engine.

Each pit car had four dwarf miners attached to it.

Being short was a huge advantage underground.

Small-sized oysters could be drilled, and the risk of the oyster collapsing was reduced accordingly.

The dwarves wore helmets with glow-in-the-dark lamps.

The pickaxe was also converted into a magic stone, so it wasn’t just about digging with physical strength alone.

The dwarves, who had gathered a pit truck full of iron and other rare ores, quickly sorted the ores into bins.
