I Have Become A Demon God. Did You Just Ask Me To Be A Minor Villain?

Chapter 44: Panic! Terrible reputation! The biggest boss!

Chapter 44: Panic! Terrible reputation! The biggest boss!

He really rose to the top! exclaimed Li Fei as he saw Su Mo step onto the carriage that symbolised the Kings power from behind. Su Mo had truly made it to the top.

Han Yu, standing beside him, also widened his eyes in disbelief. The mood had reached an all-time low.

Li Fei, Ive made a decision. Once today is over, and the capital is in chaos, Ill leave the capital, said Han Yu to Li Fei on the protagonist panel.

Leaving the capital would have been a risky move for them, given that they were being closely watched by the villains. Once they had left, the villains would have seized the opportunity to harm them. Moreover, with their influential connections in the capital, the benefits they received were much greater compared to small towns outside.

Clocking in as the palace guard came with higher rewards the higher the rank one held. However, the fact that the Queen of the Crescent had invited Su Mo up was a clear indication that he had stepped up in the game. This had been a daring move, as in Han Yus view, a typical male king would bring his own queen to such occasions, and if she were the queen, she would bring her husband with her.

There were occasional exceptions where the king would bring his own heir to the throne, and no other situations were allowed. However, today was an exception as Su Mo stood on the carriage together with the Queen of the Crescent Moon. It was a remarkable sight, considering the millions of people present at the event.

The people who attended were not ordinary folks. They comprised a large number of nobles, officials of all sizes, and many celebrities and big businessmen. It can be said that there were many dignitaries present.

In the Crescent Kingdom, the upper echelon of the pyramid was essentially there. Furthermore, this was also the headquarters of the Holy See. The temple in the sky was already lit up, and the goddess might have cast her gaze from time to time.

On such an occasion, the Queen of the Crescent Moons invitation for Su Mo to stand with her was an unmistakable sign. It was as if she was treating Su Mo as her husband. This was witnessed by so many people, and it was no joke.

If the Queen of the Crescent Moon were to choose another man in the future, her prestige in the hearts of the people might drop by more than half. It was clear that her action had significant implications, and it would be difficult to undo the impression that she had made.

..

Realising the gravity of the situation, Han Yu panicked and made up his mind. No matter what, they must escape from the capital today. The relationship between Su Mo and the Queen of the Crescent had reached a stage where if he stayed in the palace, he would only be putting his life at risk.

Although leaving the royal capital was also dangerous, given the predicted chaos, they would have a chance to escape. Han Yu was thankful that Su Mo had refrained from doing anything a few days ago. He believed that Su Mo had been worried about affecting the Queen of the Crescents opinion of him, and this was probably why he had acted cautiously. Han Yu quickly made up what he thought was a very reasonable explanation for this matter.

On the other side, several duke-level villains had also witnessed the scene from a distance. Their positions were very close, and they chatted on the villain panel while looking at each other.

It seems that once the queen stops being a saint, she probably wants to marry the Earl of Blackstone Territory, said one of the duke-level heirs.

It should be like this. This matter should have no effect on our plan, replied another.

Well, even so, the Earl of Blackstone Territory was clever, and he actually took down the Queen of the Crescent quietly, commented a third.

Tsk tsk, the Queen of the Crescent Moon has always been a saint, and she has never met a man. Such a top-notch woman is really cheap for him! added another with a smirk.

Despite their callous remarks, the villains were calm and focused on their plans. This matter was insignificant compared to their ultimate goal, and the success of their plan promised them huge gains.

As time passes, when they became stronger, they may unite and pose a formidable challenge to the Queen!

Naturally, I didnt worry too much.

Relying on mountains and mountains will fall, relying on trees and trees will shake, relying on everyone will run, dont you understand this truth as a time traveller?

His starting point is low, and this is the only way to go.

Being able to deal with the Queen is also a skill, but hed better not get in the way

Several duke-level villains continued to chat.

..

While these villains were chatting, the group of protagonists had already become animated.

Why did the Earl of Blackstone Territory stand with the Crescent Queen?

Their relationship looks unusual.

F*ck, hes holding hands with the Queen! Another exclaimed.

Is that the same Earl of Blackstone Territory you were talking about earlier?

..

Silence fell over the group as they processed the implications of this newfound information.

Li Fei, dont discuss this in the group yet! Han Yu interjected, his gaze flickering with uncertainty.

He was hesitant to share what he had learned with the other protagonists.

So this is the Earl of Blackstone Territorys secret weapon, Han Yu mused. No wonder hes been protecting us from the other villains. I was wondering how an Earl could have such confidence, but now its clear that his confidence stems from his allegiance to the Crescent Queen, the protagonist came out again and calmly analysed.

Im not sure how much power the Earl can wield with the Crescent Queen on his side, Li Fei, Han Yu, I suggest you both leave the palace guard.

Li Fei nodded in agreement.Yes, come and join the Academy of Magic. It is relatively independent. As long as you dont make mistakes, its impossible for the Queen to deal with you personally, right?

.

As soon as the protagonist analysed it, the other protagonists also opened their mouths.

You didnt understand. The Queen of the Crescent Moon regards the Earl of Blackstone Territory as her husband

After hesitating for a moment, Han Yu finally shared this information.

Because he felt that he and Li Fei escaped with a single goal.

Convincing a few more protagonists to escape could distract the attention of the villains.

Im goingto the Queens husband? If thats the case, its a bit bad. One of them muttered.

The Earl of Blackstone Territory is a formidable opponent. At most, he is a talented bronze-level villain, and now that he has the Queens backing, his threat level has skyrocketed

I regret coming to the capital, someone else lamented. I should have stayed somewhere else and developed slowly.

I regret it too. Wait for a while to mess up. Lets go~

..

Several of the protagonists began to panic at the news, realising just how precarious their situation had become.

As Su Mo stood in the carriage, both the villains and the protagonists had different reactions.

Despite being watched by millions of people, Su Mos expression remained calm. It was a huge scene, with just a few million people in attendance, but there was not even a hint of turmoil in Su Mos heart. Beside him, the Crescent Queen held tightly onto Su Mos hand, not letting go.

After the uproar, the people in the square continued to discuss the event. Soon, many recognised Su Mo. Its the Earl of Blackstone Territory! Some shouted. Earl of Blackstone Territory! The word spread from one person to ten and then to a hundred until everyone in the square had recognised Su Mo.

Su Mo was unfazed by the attention and continued to remain composed. As a public figure and Earl of Blackstone Territory, he knew it was his responsibility to act as a role model and maintain his composure in front of the public. The Crescent Queen, however, was slightly nervous with the attention. She wasnt accustomed to being in the public eye, but holding Su Mos hand gave her a sense of security and comfort.

Standing next to the Queen of the Crescent Moon was the famous Earl of Blackstone Territory in the Kingdom of the Crescent. For ordinary people, there were too many nobles in the Crescent Kingdom to keep track of. Not to mention the counts, but even the dukes were few and far between, with many people not even knowing their names.

However, the Earl of Blackstone Territory was an exception. He was a household name in the Crescent Kingdom and a figure that made countless people curious. Furthermore, the people held a good impression of him due to his numerous inventions and the subtle changes he brought to the kingdom, which benefited a lot of people.

Many commoners yearned to go to the territory of the Earl of Blackstone Territory. It was said to have the highest salary and the best benefits in the entire Crescent Kingdom, making it a desirable place to work.

In the territory of the Earl of Blackstone, even civilian children could attend school without any fees, with food provided. Craftsmen injured at work could also receive healing from magicians, while women could find suitable jobs with decent wages. According to the descriptions of the people, the Earls territory was comparable to heaven itself.

As news spread that the man holding hands with the Queen was the Earl of Blackstone Territory, the crowd became increasingly excited. The name of the Earl of Blackstone Territory echoed throughout the square as more and more people joined in the chanting.

The Earl of Blackstone Territory!.

The Earl of Blackstone Territory!

Immediately, someone yelled again.

Earl Blackstone Territory ~

Earl Blackstone Territory ~

..

Millions of people shouted his name as one, their voices carrying to the edge of the capital. Even the nobles of the Crescent Kingdom were swept up in the fervour, joining in the chorus of Earl Blackstone Territory.

Millions of people chanting a persons name in unison is an incredibly rare sight. As the crowd around them shouted Earl of Blackstone Territory, many joined in and jumped up to add their voices to the clamour. The assembled protagonists were stunned by Su Mos reputation, wondering who could possibly have such high prestige. Even duke-level villains couldnt command such attention. They noted that even if these villains were to stand on a high platform where everyone could see them, very few would recognise them.

The Earl of Blackstone Territory One of them spoke up. Lets check his villain level.

I already did, but if I cant find it, it means hes higher than us. Someone whos silver-level, check it, another replied.

The group was shocked to learn of Su Mos villain rank. Silver rank? Is that a mistake? One of them questioned. I read on the forum that a fallen earl villain killed by a protagonist was only black iron level!

That was a fallen earl. A normal earl should be Bronze without exception! another chimed in.

This is too incredible! Its like a nobody suddenly became a boss! Someone exclaimed.

Hiss! A silver-rank Earl, although there are still a few silver-rank ones in the capital, I suddenly feel that this Earl of Blackstone Territory is probably the biggest boss in the Crescent Kingdom!
