Chapter 362 – Dialogue
With this, the arrangement of the Great Devil Castle is roughly finished.
The life of the demons will go on without any problems.
“Isn’t that too crude?”
“Hmm?”
Christina, who was sitting next to her, had a sullen face.
The little boy was quite pleased to see the demons bowing their heads in front of him.
In the meantime, it seems that I didn’t like the fact that I roughly ended the audience with the demons.
“From now on, even for you, I will have to say something harshly. Formality is important. If you are a king, you must keep it even better… Simply… That way you will be dignified to your subjects…”
The little boy’s first sermon continued for a long time, but it was largely overlooked. It was time to get up from the throne with nothing to do here anymore.
〈 I guess you should know.〉
The words of Cosmos grabbed my buttocks as I was about to fall off the throne.
‘What do I need to know?’
The fact that she speaks like this must be something related to this Great Devil Castle.
〈At first, I thought it was a coincidence, but it seems like another great devil’s castle is approaching this way.〉
‘Another Great Devil Castle is approaching this way?’
〈 Yes. Well… I can’t be 100% sure. For now, the moving path is this way.〉
This gigantic Great Demon Castle can float in the air and move.
So, it is not unusual for the other Great Demon Castle to move. However, if the path was this way, Cosmos’ suspicion was a reasonable decision.
〈It can’t be said that there is no possibility of changing the route in the middle, but… If all the Great Devils are like that, then I can’t help but be suspicious, right?〉
‘…All the Great Demon Castles are coming this way?’
〈 Yes, the path to all Great Devil Castles is this way.〉
“…”
There are a total of 8 Great Devil Castles on this planet, including the one I occupied.
This is the information that was in the Great Devil Castle system.
And the Great Devil Castle system can determine the location of other Great Devil Castles.
I can’t think of this as a function unique to the Great Devil Castle I occupied. Then it was reasonable to think that the Great Demon Castle could locate each other.
〈 At the current rate, it seems that in about two weeks, we will encounter the nearest Great Devil Castle.〉
Well, there was time.
I don’t know if I should be able to afford it…
The distance between the Great Demon Castle is considerable.
The Great Demon Castle, which only has 8 on this planet, was very far away from each other.
Roughly speaking, there is a distance of about one continent between the Great Devil Castles.
Considering that the huge city is floating and moving, it can be said that it only takes two weeks to fly to this place.
When the occupation of the Great Devil Castle is complete.
I heard that the news that the owner of the Great Devil Castle had changed reached other Great Devil Castles.
It may have been greed that he hoped there would be no response.
Even so.
Not just one, but all of them are moving…
I couldn’t be optimistic about coming to celebrate my inauguration as the lord of the castle.
‘Do you know that I am not the devil?’
It is possible.
So you’re trying to take care of me with pincers?
Don’t you have any pride because you became the Great Devil?
If that’s the case, how…
It is to destroy each one.
There is still a considerable distance between them, and now, before they gather, can be said to be the right time.
“…By the way…The king…Is…You’ve been listening to my story?!”
Cristina, who belatedly noticed that I wasn’t listening to her, is enraged.
‘…Was he still talking about it?’
I had a serious conversation with Cosmos and was thinking about the Great Devil Castle issue, so there was no way the kid’s chatter could reach my ears.
“Fatima, do you know who the owner of the Great Devil Castle is the closest?”
Anyway, I ignored the noisy kid and asked Fatima.
“Uh, well? Maybe it’s the Great Devil Drakar…? About 200 years ago, there was a war with Bloa.”
“Is that the most recent?”
“Yes… Except for Master’s, this is the most recent war.”
200 years… That’s quite a long time ago.
Well…This is from the human point of view.
If all the great demons came here, honestly, it would be difficult.
I am not burdensome.
It’s hard to fight while protecting all my women.
I can also float and move the Great Demon Castle.
However, the option to escape is ambiguous.
The other scattered Great Demon Castles were approaching from all sides. And other Great Devil Castles know the location information of this place.
If it’s clear that they’re aiming for this place, eventually there’s no choice but to meet the Great Devil Castle.
Then, there is a way to give up the Great Demon Castle and run away.
But that’s a last resort.
It’s too wasteful to abandon this good place.
“…”
…Do I need to worry about this?
When I think about it, this is all a worry due to lack of information.
They know little, so they are not sure which method to take.
I just remembered a simple but good way to gather information.
‘Cosmos. You said you could contact the other Great Devils, right?’
〈 Yes. Would you like to contact us?〉
‘Yes, try contacting the nearest Great Devil Castle.’
The Great Devil Castle was also able to communicate with the owner of the castle.
In the meantime, I haven’t contacted the other Great Devils.
I have nothing to say.
There’s no reason to do it.
But things have changed.
To contact the other great demons.
It’s simple, but I thought it was a pretty good way to know the intentions of these guys who are currently approaching this way.
Contact was easier than I thought.
It seemed like a fairly advanced video call.
A large snake head appeared on the translucent screen. He had horns on his head.
The snake’s head’s vertically torn eyes turn to me.
『Hmm…Are you the guy who pushed Bloa out and became the new owner of the Great Devil Castle?』
He looked at me curiously and asked.
“Yes. So, are you the great devil called Drakar?”
“Yes. Don’t you know me It looks like you’re younger than you thought… As expected… Did you mix a lot of demonic blood? If you look at the color of your skin, it seems like it’s not…』
It was Drakar who tilted his head while commenting on me.
『Come to think of it, I don’t even know your name. What’s your name?』
Drakar was using Zephyrian, which the demons refer to as the idiot language. He used the language pack in advance, so there was no inconvenience in talking.
And… For some reason, it seems like normal conversation is possible.
“It’s Park Woon-ho.”
『Baguno?』
“…Call me Unho.”
『Uno?』
Why am I correcting this guy’s pronunciation… I thought it was useless.
“…Okay. Why are you approaching this way?”
“What kind of fool are you talking about? Isn’t the purpose obvious? Is it because you have just ascended to the Great Devil? Should I say I’m more naive than I thought or I’m stupid…』
Saying that, Drakar looked at me pitifully.
“As expected, were you aiming for this place?”
“What else could there be besides that?”
“Is it a pincer?”
“Pincers? Ah…You might not know much about it, since you’ve only recently ascended to the rank of the Great Devil. As a senior archevil, show me kindness. There is no need to be afraid. It’s not a pincer. What do you believe in and attack the other great demons? Others are crumbs or people who have nothing to pick up and lean on.”
I don’t know if I can believe this guy’s words, but if it’s true, that’s good news.
『How is it? Don’t you intend to hand over the Great Demon Castle to me and come under me? Then I will give you special consideration.”
“No work.”
『Puhaha. With that kind of spirit, he must have driven out that Bloa and took over.”
“So… You’re going to war.”
『I knew you would run away, but he’s a much better guy than I thought. Like it. I won’t watch it though.”
After talking with Drakar, I can roughly understand the situation.
Unless you’re cheating on me.
Perhaps the great devils do not know that I am a human.
The form of the devil is not clearly defined.
Each one is so unique.
Since the personalities of those devils are so diverse, wouldn’t it be that they couldn’t think of me as a human when they saw me?
Or maybe they can’t even imagine that an insignificant human would have taken over the Great Demon Castle.
They just seem to think that a new demon has taken over the Great Demon Castle.
It seems that Drakar is trying to take over my castle, a rookie great devil.
The fact that the Great Devil has two Great Devil Castles does not mean only simple rule.
The power of the Great Demon is obtained by controlling the Great Devil Castle.
If Drakar takes over my Great Demon Castle, he will have two powers.
Of course, the other great devils won’t be able to see it…
It seems that Drakar is heading this way because he is worried that he might have two powers.
Then it makes sense that all the Great Devil Castles are moving this way.
Just knowing that the great devils don’t attack is a big win.
It wasn’t as serious as I initially thought.
If it’s one-on-one, I don’t worry.
I felt more comfortable than when I first came here and dealt with the Daegal demon.
Unlike back then, it was because I had a lot of demons.
