Chapter 1903 – [Hero & Demon King & Great Demon King]

The super-large monster Drake… Agape said he named it Yongyong? Anyway, the guy seemed to have relieved his anger to some extent after dealing with the culprit along with Al.

Thanks to this, this case was also able to be concluded. So we parted ways with them and prepared to leave again.

-Thank you so much, my king. If you call me later, I will come to you wherever you are.

“Okay, and the dragon eggs grow well!!!!”

-Yes, we will meet again someday with our newborn child.

I thought I was going to say a proper goodbye, but Drake turned his head towards me. It seems like there’s something he wants to say to me.

When I said something, it was said to the guardian of Agape. Since he authenticated me with the necklace that Amya God gave me before, I was not hostile, but I asked him to tell me something important as he was protecting the Demon King.

-Human. Please take good care of our king. It looks like he hasn’t fabled yet, so you’ll have to be more careful.

“I’ll protect you even if you don’t tell me… But Fable?”

– In the true sense, it means awakening as our king. I, too, have seen the previous kings, so I can clearly see the difference between them and the current king, but the current king has not yet fabled.

“Is there some kind of awakening event? How is it different?”

-A lot of changes. At least he will be worthy of being our king.

“Hmm…”

Anyway, I guess there is an awakening event for Agape. Well, if you have something like that, you can become stronger, and it’s not a particularly bad thing.

“Leona, do you have anything like that?”

“Uh, I don’t know?”

“Oh, considering the potential for growth as a human being, is it actually a balance patch? I guess it’s okay without it.”

Leona’s peak will probably be higher. It’s good to think that among transcendentalists, the percentage of human origins is very high. I think it’s probably balanced that way, but I wonder when they’ll say Agape is a fable.

I think there has to be some kind of trigger… I guess time will solve that problem.

Anyway, we decided to go on a trip again. Since it was a case where the lord was missing on the outside and dead on the inside, it was best to get out of the city quickly to avoid getting caught up in something, so I just packed my bags and left right away. It’s a bit disappointing that I couldn’t enjoy the city to its fullest extent.

“Next time I’m going to eat something delicious!!!!”

“Okay, since Agape had a hard time this time, I’ll buy her something delicious next time she stops by the city castle.”

“The closer you get to the capital, the more abundant the materials and economy will be, so there will be more to eat.”

“Oh!!!!”

We set out on another trip and finished it quietly and set out on our journey without any problems with pursuers, but soon a problem arose.

No, it is not an external problem, but an internal problem. It’s nothing else…

“I don’t have any money.”

“Yes?”

“I ran out of travel expenses.”

Although there was money given to mercenaries in exchange for food during previous visits, almost all of it was spent. I have a few silver coins left, but it’s not enough to cover travel expenses to the capital.

No, I spent my money frugally, but since I had two kids and needed supplies and food expenses, I couldn’t even buy a horse or carriage. Horses and carriages are more expensive than you think.

“Do you need money? Are you in a hurry?”

“It’s really not urgent. I can make at least some gold if I need it.”

“Making gold?!”

“On the contrary, it is inefficient. Just think of it as using the magic method you used to shoot beams from your sword to make a few gold coins.”

“Ah… Is that so?”

Since will is omnipotent, it can do anything, even if it is a matter of efficiency and specialization. Even though I don’t have any creative talent, I can at least make gold.

However, the problem is that inflation will not occur if we make and use gold coins, but it will become less fun. In short, if you start with no cheats in the beginning but find it difficult in the middle and use cheats to play, would it be similar to leaking steam? So, when I travel, I also use local procurement as a basis.

So, you have to earn money to cover travel expenses… Normally, you just catch a monster or something, skin it, and sell it. That’s because it’s not a normal situation.

“Oh, do you need their skins? Wait a minute, I’ll call a few.”

“No, there’s no need for that. It’s not that urgent.”

“If I tell you to die because you need me, will you die?”

“I just hate myself for some reason.”

When Agape, the demon king who rules over monsters, tells a passing monster to give me his liver or gallbladder because we need it, something feels strange. Does it feel like my life is being taken away through abuse of power?

It wasn’t that urgent yet, so I had to find another way to make money. To be honest, if nothing else, there is also a way to catch thieves you see on the street and make money out of them.

Come to think of it, I guess I should have picked the pockets of the thieves I saw before. I didn’t need that much money at the time… So it’s always too late to regret.

“Is there no way to make money?”

“Uh, I’ve never been short of money…”

“I didn’t even know what money was until a few months ago.”

“Yes, adults should worry about this, not you. Don’t worry, we can make it even if it’s the worst case scenario.”

I thought I might meet a thief on the way and pick my pockets, but since the day I was going was a market day, I didn’t see a single thief for several days. Thanks to this, I also wondered if I should make real gold coins and use them.

Meanwhile, we heard a cry for help from down a high slope of a mountain.

“Please help me, is there anyone there…”

“Hmm?”

A weak voice. It looks like he was probably injured, but it wouldn’t have been easy to find because it was a sparsely populated place with no proper roads. I and the kids were able to hear because we all have hearing that is better than that of an ordinary person. Is it easy to find people on a mountain trail like this just by their voices?

It wasn’t urgent right now, and Leona was ready to rush out, so she decided to help first. If there were people, it would mean that there was a village nearby, so if you rescue them and go and treat them well, it wouldn’t be a bad thing.

Soon we found a man calling for rescue. He was broken down like someone who had fallen through the bushes at the bottom of the slope, and he looked quite bad, with cuts in places.

“Please save me, save me, save me…”

“I guess I was attacked by a monster. I need treatment…”

“Hmm, Agape. Can you heal?”

“It looks like the internal organs have been damaged, and there is a lot of bleeding… Honestly, I can do it, but it’s hard, right?”

“That’s right.”

You can do this by transfusing artificial blood like Agape used before and suturing the wound. But in the end, it is not easy because it shows the specificity of agape.

The fact that Leona was a warrior had to be hidden, but the fact that Agape was the demon lord had to be hidden even more. Moreover, considering the level of medical science here, the act of transfusing blood itself may be dangerous.

As I was thinking about what to do, a good idea suddenly occurred to me. If you can’t use surgical methods, wouldn’t it be better to use natural methods? And if everything goes according to plan, we won’t be found out that we are a party of the Demon King.

I spoke to Leona quietly so that the injured person could not hear.

“Leona, you can heal with holy magic, right?”

“Yes, but won’t they find out I’m a hero?”

“Why don’t you say that we are priests going on a pilgrimage from the countryside to the Holy Light Temple? We are the father and daughter accompanying them. I don’t think we will get caught like that.”

“Ah… Then I will treat you.”

There is a saying that if you want to hide a tree, hide it in the forest. If the hero cosplays as a priest, wouldn’t she be able to fool all the priestesses to some extent, rather than just rob them? Of course, when it seems like there’s a problem, I just pretend I’m not a priest and move on quietly.

Anyway, Leona used the Holy Technique to heal the man. Since I don’t have any surgical knowledge and it’s outdoors, it’s very likely that I’m infected, but there’s no problem in front of the power of God. The man’s wounds are quickly healed and healed, and he even regains his strength even when blood is low.

Of course, since the bleeding was so severe, it won’t be completely replenished, so it won’t be enough to run around, but at least it will be enough to move around.

“Huh? Huh?!”

“Are you okay?”

“Sir, are you really a priest?”

“I’m glad I was able to find it as I was passing by. If I had been a little late, I would have been in big trouble.”

“Ugh, thank you!!!! Thank you so much, priest!!!! I thought I was going to die like this!!!! Thank you!!!!”

Although the other girl is much younger than him, he has abilities, a social position as a priest, and even saved her life, so he can bow his head as much as he wants. If you save a knight and don’t even show gratitude, you’re a mean-spirited scoundrel.

First, calm him down a bit and ask him why he was lying down like this. From what I heard, he was a man named Hans, who lived in a village near here. He went out to the mountain to harvest wood and was attacked by a monster and collapsed.

Fortunately, the monster was as small as a rabbit, so I was able to deal with it with the ax I had, but I was injured and collapsed on the way to the village. And that’s what we discovered.

“I thought I was going to die, but I don’t know how fortunate I am. Thank you so much, priest!!!!”

“What? I just did what I had to do. And if you don’t mind, could you guide me to the village? It’s better to stay in the village than camp.”

“Yes!!!! Of course!!! I will guide you!!! Just follow me!!!!”

He led the way with such liveliness that it was hard to believe that he was a person who had been dying just moments before. Well, since my body isn’t fully developed yet, it’s just walking, but anyway.

The village wasn’t that far. The village, which was surrounded by wooden fences as a countermeasure against monsters, was a fairly large village with about 20 to 30 households, so I felt like I could look forward to being treated well. No matter what, if you’re so poor, it’s a shame to receive anything.

And as I went, I made a request to Leona in advance.

“If you say anything, don’t go and say you’ll treat people for free.”

“Well, is it because we need money now?”

“That’s an additional problem. If you don’t get paid a certain amount for doing good work, all kinds of truth-seeking bastards who think favors are their right will stick around.”

Joker also said: If you are good at something, never do it for free.

When you say it’s free, there are people who have no shame and cling to it like beggars. If you look in Korea alone, you’ll find tons of them, right? In the summer, there are people who spread out mats near banking machines because they don’t want to pay for air conditioning. In a place where security is poor and there is no compulsory education, it is not surprising if there are more vicious things.

So, a certain amount of compensation must be paid in order for the opponent to leave. You may have to pay for travel expenses on top of your job, but the important thing is that you have to draw a line even when doing good things.

“Please wait a moment!!! I will bring the village chief now!!!!”

Hans couldn’t run, so he walked quickly and went to call the village chief. People gathered to see what was going on and glanced at us with wary eyes.

Originally, these places were closed societies, so they were wary of outsiders. Unless there are a lot of people coming and going, most travelers on the road are just seen as would-be robbers or thieves.

However, to quickly resolve the misunderstanding, the village chief, who was transitioning from middle age to old age, ran out and shouted to welcome us with a bright face.

“Oh my gosh, priest!!!!! Welcome!!! I can’t believe you came to visit such a shabby village!!!”

“Hello, village chief. My name is Leine, and I am on a pilgrimage to a sacred place. I plan to stay for a day or two. Do you mind if I take care of you?”

“Of course!!! I’ll give you my house, so you can use it comfortably. However, since it’s a small town, I don’t know if I’ll be able to treat the priest well…”

“I think what’s important is sincerity. You won’t have to worry, so rest assured.”

“Thank you for saying that. Oh, you even saved Hans… You are a very great priest.”

“I just did what I had to do.”

Even on Earth, in the old days, priests were treated well. I can’t help but respect and respect a priest here who has special abilities and can heal people.

The villagers’ perspective changes accordingly. From the perspective of a would-be criminal who doesn’t even know who he is, his treatment has changed from a precious person to a priest with healing abilities who is treated even better in a place where there is no proper doctor, let alone medical insurance.

“Yes, priest? You say priest?”

“Oh, priest…”

Before we know it, everyone in the village comes out and looks at Leona. As a warrior, Leona seemed to have received envious looks even when she was at the temple, so she was accustomed to receiving them.

Afterward, under the guidance of the village chief, we were able to use his entire house as a lodging. The village chief said he could stay at his child’s house, so at least he could rest in the best place in the village during his stay.

“Healer is said to be a nobleman, but…”

“If you think about it, wouldn’t it be somewhat more comfortable if things were like this in the city?”

“That’s not possible. Information spreads at different speeds in closed towns and cities like this. And in a city like that, there’s probably a temple, so if you get caught by mistake, it’s a big problem.”

“Oh, I guess that’s true too.”

Agape searched around the village chief’s house and eventually found something inside a cupboard and took it out. For a town like this, this is fairly well-made beef jerky.

“Oh!!! I found the beef jerky that the village chief had stored away!!!”

“I think I hid it, but I managed to find it.”

“There was a smell from here.”

“Very Gaekone, Gaeko.”

Anyway, since the village chief rented his house so that he could use up everything he had, he wouldn’t say anything if we ate it. The only thing… Is that it’s not free.

As I unpacked my baggage and took a breather, I heard a commotion outside. After doing something, I went outside and saw that people who were sick or had some discomfort had gathered in front of the house and formed a market.

“Sir, priest, I don’t have much, but please take a look at my arm…”

“My leg hurts. Please treat me just once!!!!”

“Priest!!”

“Priest!!!!”

All the sick people in this village gathered together. Of course, not everyone is seriously ill, but the number alone is dozens.

When I glanced back, I saw that Leona had already made up her mind. The story below is about helping others, but that kid is trying to get away with it. In fact, he would have done it even if I had stopped him.

Anyway, I think I saw this in a drama a long time ago… Well, then that’s one thing I have to do now.

“Get in line!!!!”

But kids these days probably don’t know about Heo Jun dramas!!!!
