Why I Quit Being the Demon King Chapter 294

66. Tropical Resort (2)

The female warriors felt like they were dreaming.

It would have been more understandable if they had avoided their attacks with fancy magic and sword strikes.

But the man just walked, holding the woman’s hand.

Along the gap between sword strike and sword strike.

The warriors measured their swords again.

At that moment, their owner

spoke softly.

“done. “Go away.”

“But Your Highness!”

“You too, step back. “Please wait outside the sponsorship until I call you.” It is the king’s order.

Who would dare to complain? Maids and warriors fled from the patronage like the ebb of the tide.

Queen April stood up.

Zeke and Signy showed respect towards her side by side.

Before he was a family member, he was a king.

As a commoner, he could not dare to call himself a superior.

April grabbed Signy’s hand and pulled herself up.

“If I’m right, you are Pan Hollybitch’s siblings.”

Signi responded with a smile.

“Yes, I do.”

“Signi and you must be Zeke.”

April looked at the two siblings again.

“Regin looks more like Signy than Zeke.”

The conversation stopped for a moment. Both sides spent time looking after their new family.

Zeke opened his mouth.

“Originally, I should have come to say hello much earlier, but since I was wanted, I had no choice but to be cautious.”

“I understand. “The Black Hero’s notoriety is well known even here in Akoma Castle.”

April smiled and continued.

“Although the guard warriors who were guarding my side were women, they

were strong enough that even G-class warriors could not treat them carelessly. But in front of you, Zeke, I’m like a scarecrow.”

Zeke just smiled but did not reply.

“Then would you like some tea?”

“A glass of cold water is enough for me.” After Zeke, Signy spoke.

“It’s enough for me to share the tea I drink. “I’d like to see Berol more than that. Is that okay?”

“Of course. Berol is from the Hollybeach family.”

According to the laws of the kingdom, Berol was both royalty and a warrior.

The official name was Berol le Verde van Hollywitsch. Until a new successor to the kingdom was appointed, the names of both families were to be inherited simultaneously.

Even among the two, the warrior’s last name took priority.

Berol was not Verde’s child, but Holly Beach’s child. Her words are not condescending, they are facts.

Signi carefully approached the bed.

There was a sleeping little boy there.

The small child, not even a year old, laughed and then frowned again.

If you don’t smile at that sight, a part of you as a human being has definitely been broken.

Zeke stood shoulder to shoulder with Signy.

A peaceful and quiet time passed. Only then were the siblings able to take their eyes off their young nephew.

“I heard it from Regin.”

April opened her mouth.

“The cursed sword on Signi’s back is actually a child. “And that

child… had the blood of an unspeakable being.”

Signy calmly nodded.

” that’s right.”

“Isn’t it painful? “The devil caused me to experience something like that.”

“I won’t answer. “Because there is no answer in the world that will satisfy both Your Majesty and I.”

April was surprised by her answer. Although she was the devil’s child, she was Signi’s

daughter.

You cannot curse your children. However, he couldn’t proudly

admit his devil’s blood.

“My question was rude.”

“no. It was actually a good thing that he asked me honestly. Migo is my daughter. No matter what moment comes, there will be no denying that.”

“I understand. “I am also the child’s mother now.”

The three drank tea.

We chatted about nothing and talked about each other.

One was the king of a large country and the other two were a fallen warrior and a saint.

But at this moment, Berol’s mother and Regin’s wife were only dealing with her husband’s two brothers.

“that’s right. Regin always talked about Signy. “Sometimes I, my wife, get jealous.”

“Please understand. When Regin was young, his parents died and I had to take his place. “Brother Zeke couldn’t make time because he worked from dawn to late at night.”

“I can’t believe the family of such an outstanding warrior and saint should suffer such shame. Seonghwangcheong also needs to reflect. They are now fighting among themselves to be the next successful person, and it is truly pathetic.

“The world has turned upside down and we are facing the border with the demon world, and there is a struggle for power.”

Zeke nodded.

“It is said that the desire for power is human nature, but in the face of a crisis, one must be able to transcend party affiliations…

“Zeke, what about you? “If a war starts between humans and demons, which side will you take?”

“Of course we are human. “Because I am a warrior.”

The moment I spoke, Zeke felt strange

.

The sense of authority has diminished significantly.

It was because a third way suddenly emerged.

Zeke’s own power has already surpassed that of humanity.

The strongest being among humans, excluding Zeke himself, is probably Regin.

However, even if Regin attacked him with all the might of the kingdom, he was confident that he could sort it out within a day.

Old colleagues like Sadimus and Lache

did not need to be counted.

What about demons?

Although Migo is growing quite quickly, it is still not up to him.

Except for the Archangels, Yulgeum, Deus, and Nezar, there were no worthy opponents to begin with.

Fighting demons on the side of humans.

That is the hero’s mission, but now I have encountered too many truths behind it to insist on it.

Demons are evil by nature. They are a race

that enjoys destruction and slaughter, and where fraud and threats

are routine.

But all of that was actually God’s arrangement.

The powerful enemy that oppressed humans from the outside to prevent them from being destroyed by war was the demon race.

Demons are evil.

However, it is no longer possible to say that it should simply disappear as before.

Even their king is Migo.

“You’re hesitating.”

Queen April’s expression hardened.

“It’s not like that. “I was thinking a little differently.”

“I guess it’s because of Migo, right? “Aren’t you hesitating because that child is in the position of the Demon King?”

Zeke didn’t need to add any explanation.

“Zeke, you have the ability to be a warrior and have excellent colleagues, but you gave it all up for your family.”

“That’s why Hollybitch’s last name is Regin.”

“It is a misfortune for humanity.”

“Don’t misunderstand. I have no intention of abandoning humanity. However,

I think there is no need to fight against demons anymore. War is a painful act in which countless people die, no matter how justified or embellished with rhetoric. Look at all sides of the continent of Jose. “It borders the demons to the south… but isn’t there a huge land stretching out in the other three directions?”

“The investigation team reported that the north is a plateau of snowy mountains, and to the east and west is a jungle full of mugwort monsters. “It will take a long time to transform that land into something usable

.”

“But you still have to do it.”

“I agree with that. However, we cannot neglect the southern border because we are greedy for land that is not that big.”

Zeke tilted his head.

“You mean it’s not a big piece of land?”

“I have been taught that the continent of Jose is everything in this world. “Even if there is land outside, how much is it?”

“no. That teaching is wrong. The continent of Jose is a very small part of the world. “ This star

is a huge sphere with a circumference of 40,000 kilometers.”

“A sphere? “Do you mean it’s round?”

” yes.”

“That’s ridiculous. Then, if you go far away, won’t you fall down? “The continent of Jose is a world of disks.”

“It is said that everything is attached to the star because there is something called gravity.”

“Zeke you’re saying things I don’t understand. 40,000 kilometers! “Are you saying that the continent of Jose was floating on such a huge star?”

” yes.”

“If that is true… we will have to send an expedition party further afield.”

Queen April looked like she didn’t believe it.

“Please do so. This world is so big that it’s hard to imagine. “The three continents of Hor are nothing more than a cradle for mankind.”

A small bed where Berol lies.

Jose Continent was exactly like that.

The winter was mild and the summer was not hot.

The alpine climate in low latitude areas

was the most perfect for human habitation.

The forest was green, full of tree species that grow well even in high places, and the water was clear as crystal.

Except for the war with the demons, there was nothing that could be called a threat to humanity.

For a whopping 666 centuries.

Now that the continent of Jose has crashed to the ground, humanity has been forced to break up with the past.

It was right then.

The garden door opened wide and a man appeared like a rain general.

It was obvious that he had arrived in a hurry, and even his breathing was trembling slightly.

Armed with a powerful aura on his sword, he was ready to cut his enemies to pieces at any moment.

A father of one child and husband of a woman.

And the younger brother of the two siblings, he was none other than Regin van Holwitsch.

It seemed that the guards had hurriedly called him.

“uh? “Why are you and your brother here?”

Their eyes, which were full of vigilance, shook with curiosity, and Zeke and Signy greeted their younger brother with smiles.

Regin, who heard the self-inflicted designation, immediately joined their conversation.

“There is an eccentric wizard in my unit who is said to have invented a way to measure the size of this star. “It is a method of finding the angle of the shadow by measuring the angle of the shadow at two points, due north and due south. It is said to be a huge sphere with a radius of about 6,500 kilometers and a circumference of more than 40,000 kilometers.”

Zeke nodded.

“They say that in the Golden Age, it was knowledge at the level of common sense learned only in elementary school.”

“But not everyone believes it. “It is common sense that the world is shaped like a disk.”

“It was definitely like that on the continent of Jose, but it is not common sense on this Earth.”

“As your Majesty decides, we will send an expedition team. However, I am not sure how successful it will be as the land is infested with mugwort monsters.”

“If we send an army, we won’t have to be afraid of the mugwort monster.”

“The main enemy now is the demons.”

“That’s why we need a large-scale punitive force. For the time being, the future will be a fight over who can occupy the larger land. “There are many lands that are much more fertile than the continent of Jose.”

“Well, you went all the way to the moon. “You must have seen everything there.”

“The world is bigger. “Even things like the moon and the sun are located in a very small world.”

April frowned.

“Are you now saying that even the sun and moon are small? Don’t you know that the sun shines throughout the world?”

“Of course the sun is huge. But size is only relative. It is said that the stars that the sun surrounds are collectively called the solar system. And it is said that it takes over 4 years for light to travel to the nearest star outside. Even though light can travel 300,000 kilometers per second.”

“The moment light appears, it brightens up the whole world.”

“It only looks that way because it’s so fast. In reality, it is said to travel about 300,000 kilometers per second.”

“Zeek, none of your knowledge matches the common sense of the world. “Is this knowledge you learned from the demons? I guess you learned it through interacting with them?”
