Chapter 8 – Episode 8 ― Land of the Blind (2)
Episode 8 ― Land of the Blind (2)
“That” Magic is… , And something is forbidden. Can’t say does that mean that
Roan headed for the Forbidden Books Zone, following the librarian, who showed an ominous attitude even at the mention of this.
‘Ah. Because it’s the Demon King…’
The demon king understood what ‘that’ magic was only when he faced the bookshelf.
In the game world, the Goddess Laurecia, the god that humans trust the most. It seems that the thing about that goddess is forbidden in this demon castle. Roan nodded her head in understanding.
Forbidden books were managed separately in a dark and small room at the innermost part of the library. In that small room, which can only be entered by going through the librarian’s unlock magic one more time, not only books were stored, but also statues of the goddess Laurecia and Laurecia’s mark, all painted with the black devil’s pattern.
“This, this, this.”
The librarian carefully took out the book with the tip of his claw and placed it on the desk in front of the demon king. As soon as the demon king nodded, the librarian disappeared in a huff as if it was terrible just to be in this space.
Roan looked at him blankly.
Even without using ‘detection’, once he started to realize that the servants were around him, he could see how much they deliberately surrounded the demon king while holding their breath. It was like playing hide and seek. It’s a similar feeling to feeling the presence of someone somewhere even if you don’t make a sound to each other.
It was a little lonely to not see people around even though there was someone.
‘There is even one person I kidnapped a long time ago. I really don’t like everything I did… I thought it was a bit strange. Is it a demon king concept? Or did he really become the demon king because he was like this?’
When the hero came in the game, the demon king fell into a trap and had to fight one-on-one with the hero’s party in the castle. Ironically, there was not a single advantage to fighting in friendly camps.
Everyone who played it said it was strange, and it was something that was always posted on the bulletin board.
―There is an army, but why is the demon always broken by fighting alone?
― No matter how strong a warrior is, isn’t it inevitable to lose if you fight 100 to 1? Why don’t you call a soldier?
― If the Four Heavenly Kings, the Demon King, and Erenia fight together without soldiers, don’t all the warriors’ parties spread?
― Then you can’t play Yasu.
―If the demon king loses his intelligence, he must die
… For some reason, I thought for a moment that the last two comments might have answers, but after knowing the real situation in the game, I expected how the atmosphere would have flowed.
I could tell just by looking at it for half a day today. The servants are struggling not to be noticed by the Demon King. Even the servants struggled against the Demon King’s skill. So no one can dare to say what is necessary.
Even his servants, who were said to be strong, had to risk their lives for a single mistake in their words. The situation in which anyone had to open their mouths in front of the demon king was fear.
‘This is why I became isolated.’
In the end, the demon king was alone in the castle, believing only in his own abilities. He was self-employed.
Even if there is something out of the ordinary, I can’t report it to the demon lord. So, rather than the hero, the weak Four Heavenly Kings came out first to deal with it, but it was consumed. In a position where no one can tell the situation in the castle, the demon king eventually battles the hero and many. And defeat.
‘This isn’t it.’
It shouldn’t be like that.
I have to catch him from the beginning before he tries to take my life.
To do so, in the castle, in the saints. Furthermore, there must be people like my eyes throughout this country. Fear, though a convenient tool, will immobilize their eyes and mouth.
‘I’ll have to talk to my servants properly.’
Although they were villains, they were loyal to the Demon King. It is necessary to understand the people in the castle, including the servants, and think about the direction of utilization.
‘Okay. I can tolerate being told that I lack intelligence. Because knowledge 40 is true. But I can’t stand it being told that I should die, of course, because I have less intelligence!’
I must live too!
It will be uncomfortable for a while, but if you can change the atmosphere around you, a lot will change. After thinking about it for a while, I felt a little relieved as I tied a knot in my heart.
Roan now concentrated on reading the book the librarian had brought out earlier.
‘… ?’
The lettering on the cover is strange. Why can’t you read
As I entered this inner area, I read the titles of the books on the bookshelf. The feeling that the body knows what it means. I don’t know if you ask me to write the letters in order, but rather, it was a natural feeling that reading and writing came up in my head and my body moved on its own.
However, this cover is a bit different.
Roan wrinkled his brow and focused, and then he seemed to understand a little…
‘Ancient… Ancient deity… Ah, is it divine magic?’
Roan stared blankly at the cover of the book. Having said that, it’s a plausible book cover. A pattern decorated with Laurecia’s holy symbol (overpainted with the symbol of the Demon King) and something like a shining halo.
‘Divine Magic’ is magic that can be used with the power bestowed by the goddess Laurecia. In the game, the saintess character uses it.
‘No, what the hell… , Why is the magic a saintess should use?’
Even though there were quite a few books on divine magic on the bookshelves, there was a reason the librarian took out only three books. Books on ancient divine magic are really rare.
Roan let out a small sigh and lifted the cover. Roan, who looked through a few bookshelves, was frustrated by the reality.
‘Knowledge 40 is a true story… I’m the devil…’
The Demon King did not know how to read all the ancient languages.
Roan washed his face dry.
‘No, but… It’s not like I don’t know completely.’
Roan changed his mind again and looked at the table of contents of the book.
‘Starlight… Star… Star…’
The demon king, who had been reading only sparsely known letters, finally found the page he wanted. Roan’s face, which had brightened, was filled with despair again as he opened the page designated in his table of contents.
‘I don’t know at all!!!’
Roan gritted it. It seemed to him that he would have to secretly look up the dictionary. It would be a little embarrassing if the demon king was reading a forbidden book with an ancient dictionary.
He tried to spend some time in the library, but ran into an underlying problem. Roan decided to withdraw from the library and go to his office.
In the end, the divine magic book could not be brought outside. It was because of the life-threatening plea of the Owlbear librarian that the forbidden book contains blasphemous power and could have a negative effect on the castle.
Instead, he made the excuse that he suddenly developed an interest in ancient languages, and instead brought several textbooks of ‘Basic Ancient Languages’ to his office.
‘Shit.’
Roan calmed down by drinking a glass of fruit juice prepared next to him. It tasted and smelled like an orange.
A knowledge of 40 is slightly better than the average person. He could use basic magic, but he was never quite knowledgeable. Eleanor, the great mage, and the princess to meet soon were around 90. The saintess, who mainly uses wisdom-based divine magic, also has a knowledge level in the mid-70s, although it is not her main ability. Even though Diobe is not a magician, her knowledge level is in the mid to late 60s.
Even the hero’s knowledge points are in the late 50s!
‘If I study, I’ll go up.’
All other abilities are excellent, but it is unfair that the knowledge level is lacking. However, he remembered that there was no guarantee that his abilities would increase if he tried to study now, and that he also had no talent for studying. Even though I went to school, I only fought, but I never did it because I was studying hard.
‘As expected, I think it’s just useless magic.’
Okay. What does magic that emits light like a small light bulb have to do with it? If the demon king commands, a star that didn’t exist will be created.
Anyway, in the face of overwhelming force like magic, it was insignificant. Roan thought so and tried to comfort himself.
‘Anyway, I have room.’
Is it surprising or natural? There was little to do with the Demon King in his office. It seemed that the prime minister and other servants were taking care of most of the affairs instead of the demon king who had no interest in national affairs.
The secretary, who was leisurely organizing documents while guarding the office, was shocked by the appearance of the demon king after a long time.
“Your majesty.”
The secretary, who happened to be standing outside the office, reported quietly.
“What’s going on?”
“The Princess of Merde has arrived.”
“Let them in.”
“…”
Didn’t you hear
“… Yes.”
What is this uneasy gap… ?
It felt a bit ominous, but the expectations were much higher. The first princess who was Roan’s favorite character! Exciting!
The heavy door of the office opened quietly like a lie, and a small figure entered the dark room.
“Pooh-“
Roan gulped out the juice in his mouth. Dio Ve, who was standing behind Roan, quietly held out his handkerchief, and he wiped his face and clothes in a hurry.
Fortunately, the princess did not react to Roan’s rude behavior. Because she was preoccupied with other things.
“No, who the hell… ! … Well… , … Oh no.”
The demon king, who had raised his voice, withdrew his words, and he unknowingly closed his mouth. Roan was taken aback by the beauty in front of him, thinking he didn’t know what to say.
It seemed to glow. Merde’s princess was as pretty as expected, no more. No matter how good the computer graphics were, they couldn’t capture the actual aura.
A gaunt face that hasn’t taken off all of the girlish clothes. However, there is dignity and elegance in it. The light brown hair is a mysterious color that looks pink depending on the angle. The bright blue eyes seem to pierce Roan’s heart.
When you look at celebrities in real life, their faces are so small and pretty. Is this how it feels? Even if you don’t know it, the princess is the owner of a beauty that seems like the internet will turn upside down if you bring it to reality.
But just because her eyes were looking at him, anyone in the room could tell that she wasn’t paying attention to Roan.
‘Why are you wearing something like that?!’
The princess was wearing a gown that was transparent like the wings of her dragonfly. And the only thing the princess is wearing in it is her underwear. Even if it was underwear, it was a chest cover that barely covered only the nipples, and panties that were too big to cover the entire pubic hair. The so-called micro bikini.
The princess’s face, dressed like that, was as red as a tomato. He puts his hands together and tries to cover his important parts, but the large breasts are gathered between his arms and only has the effect of accentuating the breastbone.
In the meantime, resisting her skills ‘Overwhelm’ and ‘Miheun’, she was holding her breath. Since she is a princess with high Wisdom and Charm levels, she doesn’t seem to feel as much pressure as the slaves and other servants – but, of course, based on what I’ve seen in her game, the discomfort isn’t low.
Thanks to this, the collected breastbones were rising and falling dramatically. It was a very provocative sight.
The demon king touched his forehead.
“Diobe.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Bring me a robe.”
Diobe raised his eyebrows a little, but quickly left the office. You may ask later how the hell this happened. She didn’t want to keep her princess standing like that.
Of course, if I had seen it in CG, I would have been delighted to say that this was a special shot, but now the princess is on the verge of being shamed. It is a bit difficult to enjoy this scene to the fullest as she is in the position of the demon king who has to attack her by digging into the gap in her heart that opens her up on her own. She appeared and disappeared beside her, and the -90 window of favorability played a big part.
“For now, this.”
Roan, striding towards her, suddenly took off the jacket of her uniform, and the princess began to tremble like her little animal. But as it covered her apron, she looked at Roan with a subtle expression.
“If I had been to attend to the bed, I would have called her to the bedroom. The lower ones seem to have misunderstood.”
“…”
“I apologize. I’m sorry, princess.”
The princess’s sapphire eyes sparkled with amazement and expressed many emotions. As if she hesitated, her small, red lips parted a few times.
