Is this really just an RPG? !
Chapter 1 - Alexander's Empire - The King's Call (3)
Withdrawing my foreword, I really shouldn't deny Qiuqiu's speculation.
In the bright and spacious palace, there are only me, Prime Minister Aiden Valentine, and King Mark Berkeley, and even the guards have withdrawn. Although I don't quite understand why this is the case, but seeing that the king and the prime minister are very serious, I have no choice but to be serious.
I:"…………"
Prime Minister Aiden: "..."
King Mark: "..."
They were so tacitly silent at the same time, I don't know if I should thank them for their cooperation.
Because Qiuqiu said "I don't like the atmosphere in the palace", so she ran out to play by herself. This is also a rare time that she didn't act with me. But the current situation gives me some headaches, I can only observe the layout of the palace first.
With this level of luxury, I can't make it up even if I go to rob a few robbers.
Speaking of which, the robber gangs in the Alexander Empire seem to have begun to restrain themselves recently, and some even disbanded directly. I really don’t know which kind-hearted person did it.
"That, Lord Brave?"
"Your Highness, I am Neil Franks Noyce, just call me Neil."
Being directly called an adult by the king of a country, I couldn't help but shudder.
The king is also happy to accept my statement.
"Then Neil, I summoned you this time because of a very important matter."
"I don't know what kind of problem is bothering you?"
In fact, I don't care much about people like the king, but according to the current situation, it is still very important to maintain respect for each other. Anyway, the wide and fat man in front of me looks very useful, so of course I don't mind continuing to talk to him in honorific terms.
"The princess was taken away."
"……What?"
I froze for a moment.
It seems that I heard something too old-fashioned just now.
"The king said that Her Royal Highness Princess has been taken away. I hope Mr. Brave can go and rescue the princess."
Oh!
Lindsay on top! What is this unfolding?
Is it possible that every brave man has to go through the plot of expedition to the demon territory, defeating the demon king, saving the princess, saving the people from difficulties, killing the tyrant, marrying the princess, and becoming the new king? Although this script is very touching when you think about it, I don't want to take this task at all.
"Well, can you tell me why the princess was taken away?"
I can't agree immediately, nor can I refuse immediately, so I consider using a roundabout tactic.
"well……"
The king sighed inexplicably.
He even turned around with his hands behind his back!
"It's actually like this," the king's voice suddenly became very weak. "It was my daughter Lilith's coming-of-age ceremony some time ago, so I wanted to prepare a birthday gift for her."
[This group of rich people. 】
I complained in my heart, but there was no change in expression on my face, I just nodded to signal the other party to continue talking.
Even if the king has his back to me, he can't see my movements at all.
"But when Lilith came out to meet the citizens, there was no one there. I sent someone to Lilith's bedroom to find someone, and found that the whole room was empty, except for a note left by the devil."
After the king finished speaking, he waved to the prime minister beside him, and the prime minister immediately handed me a note the size of a palm.
In black and white, it was written clearly: I took your daughter away——Spirit, the devil king.
After repeatedly confirming the content of the note several times, I fell silent.
how to say?
A very polite demon king, he even left a note, and even wrote "XXX Sincerely".
…………
This demon king is probably sick.
Greeting the devil Spike in a low voice, I handed the note back to the chancellor, then looked up at the king.
"That is to say, the devil took the princess and left this note?"
"Yes."
"for what?"
It's too weird to take it away and leave a note to inform you of your identity!
It was almost like a naked provocation.
"I don't know, but it is said that I will marry the princess in three months."
"Success, marriage?!"
So all demon kings are interracial lovers? !
"Yes," the king nodded solemnly to me again, and made a request to me in a sincere tone, "so I hope you, the brave man, can rescue the princess within three months, otherwise... ...the whole country is going to have an accident!"
"Yes, is it..."
It has risen from a personal crisis of chastity to a national crisis.
It sounds great.
But I don't understand it at all!
Why would the marriage of the princess and the devil lead to accidents in the country!
How can anyone go to fight his father-in-law's country, is there nothing to do when he is free?
"Well, Your Majesty, can I ask you something?"
Because it was too unbelievable, I decided to confirm it a little bit.
The king didn't seem to mind much anyway.
"Please say."
"Why does Her Royal Highness marry the devil endanger the country?"
"..."
There was a sudden silence.
Don't just keep silent! It's like "If I accidentally swear, I don't know how to get it back, what should I do? Wait online", will I be the first one to die because I can't get the king out of power, and then sent to private execution Brave!
Life is too miserable.
"Ah! If you don't answer well, you don't have to answer."
Between satisfying curiosity and saving my life, I decisively choose the latter.
"If you need anything, you can go to Aiden. Although there is no way to send you manpower, the material support can still be satisfied as much as possible."
"That's it, because I'm not feeling well, I'm going back to the dormitory first."
"His Majesty, go slowly."
After signaling to the prime minister, the king took small steps and left at a very fast speed.
Really guilty?
I still decided not to pursue this kind of thing.
Curiosity is curiosity, but I know the truth that "curiosity killed the cat".
"Then, Mr. Brave, is there anything you need?"
I just remembered that Prime Minister Aiden hadn't left yet, showing him an apologetic look.
"No need for anything special, just provide me with a map."
If there is no map, finding the way is a very troublesome thing.
After getting the map from the prime minister and listening to a few warnings, I left the palace under the leadership of the guards and returned to the hotel where I was staying. When she opened the door, she saw Qiuqiu bouncing on the bed—she seemed to be very keen on this game without any reason.
"Master, welcome back."
Sensing me coming in, Qiuqiu immediately flew over and sat on my shoulder.
[image]
Turning around and locking the door, throwing the map in my hand casually, I sat on the bed and sighed deeply.
"The king told me the contents of the entrustment."
"What is it?"
Qiuqiu was not surprised, and quickly took my words.
This leaves me a bit at a loss as to how to answer.
After glancing at the updated main mission information, I couldn't help feeling a headache.
"Main task【Lend a helping hand to the princess】
Mission information: As a brave man, what you must do is to rescue the poor princess from the hands of the devil or the dragon. What are you waiting for! Let's go to August, the capital of the demons! Blow that dilapidated old castle to pieces, and then bring the princess back to Renard, maybe an unimaginable and reasonable marriage will be achieved!
Task requirements: 1. Arrive in August, the capital of the Demon Race, within three months (unfinished)
2. Defeat or persuade the devil (unfinished)
3. Bring Princess Lilith back to Leonard (unfinished)"
The introduction of information is extremely subtle, especially the last sentence.
"It really is saving the princess! Qiuqiu's sixth sense is super accurate!"
It turns out that this guy hasn't forgotten the casual talk last night!
I didn't expect to be hit by her. I don't know if this is a divine prophecy or a crow's mouth.
Reluctantly picking up the map that was thrown aside, I carefully studied the route. Since this is a mainline quest, it can only be solved. Choose an easier path before setting out to save the princess, and make adequate preparations.
But the moment I opened the map, a letter slipped out.
A letter from the Demon Lord, and addressed to King Mark.
"What's this?"
"Just a letter."
Somewhat perfunctorily answered Qiuqiu, I spread out the letter and read it like this.
"To Mark Berkeley:
My dear neighboring king, how are you doing? How are you? "
The words were so weird that I couldn't help shivering halfway through the reading, and took a few deep breaths to slow down before continuing.
"As you know, not long ago I captured your daughter, Princess Lilith.
I am 120,000-point sorry for this, and I hope you can understand what I have done. After all, the Dark Night Domain has been at war with the Alexander Empire for so many years without much ups and downs. If this continues, it will be seen by the surrounding countries. It's a farce, that's why I made the decision to 'hijack a hostile country's princess'.
But your princess is a bit too special, so I hope you can send a brave man to take her away as soon as possible, after all, our country's national strength can only support her waywardness for three months.
If no one takes the princess away after three months, in order to ensure that the country will not weaken, I can only wage war on your country.
Handwritten by the Devil Spike Charles"
After reading the letter calmly, he threw it aside.
I think you can choose to consider a more important issue instead of looking at the map first.
"Lord, master, this letter?"
"Although we don't know whether the prime minister did it on purpose or not, at least we can initially confirm a piece of information through this letter."
"what's the message?"
"It's not the princess we want to save, it's the devil king."
Now, I finally understand why it will rise to the level of national crisis three months later.
After all, it was a real war.
The task information on the left is suddenly refreshed, completely becoming a new task:
"Main quest [The Helpless Demon King] (Changed)
Mission information: Through the accidentally dropped letter, you learned the unknown secret, and suddenly found that the person who really needs your help is not the princess, but our poor devil king. so! Brave! go! Go to help the devil king who does his best to provide you with conditions for growth, and save him from the shadow of the princess domination!
Task requirements: 1. Arrive in August, the capital of the demons within three months (unfinished)
2. Defeat or persuade the princess (unfinished)
3. Bring Princess Lilith back to Leonard (unfinished)"
Thanks Sammy! I never imagined that my life could experience such a divine turn.
So, Sami, god of destiny!
I wouldn't mind at all showing you a dance that can only be performed with the middle finger.
# What the Fu @k #
※ ※ ※ ※
I'm Neil, Neil Franks Noyce.
In terms of occupation, probably a hero?
Good at some small spells related to space, and has an elf partner called "Qiu Qiu".
Now I'm on the road to August, the capital of the demons. The goal is to fulfill the king's commission and rescue Princess Lilith, who was captured by the demon king... Well, or, I should bring the wayward princess Go back to Leonard, the capital of the Alexander Empire, so that the poor devil can escape from the clutches of the princess.
So why did you want to die to catch the princess in the first place?
Wouldn't it be enough to change someone!
I really can't figure out what kind of weird thinking the devil king is thinking these days.
"If you want to go to August, you must first arrive at Grace, the border fortress of the Alexander Empire, and then enter the territory of the demons from there, and then pass through Mary Valley to reach August."
With Qiuqiu here, it saves me the trouble of looking through the map.
"Mary Valley?"
Because this can only contact the undead spirits that exist in the "endless library" in the void, even as a visitor from another world, I know a lot of knowledge about this world that even the local residents do not understand. One of the most worth mentioning is the introduction about the gods of this world.
Mary is a god, and the god of the plague.
I don't know why the plague and death are counted separately, probably because the gods responsible for death have too much work, so they are very boring and separate all kinds of death methods, and then hand them over to the secondary gods to reduce their workload Bar! Anyway, according to the introduction in "Endless Library", Death Grace and Plague Mary are subordinates.
There are always strange stories among the gods. Although it is useless to know, it is a good choice as a pastime to pass the time.
"Yes, Mary Valley."
Qiuqiu nodded, spread out the map to make it float in the air, and then she reached out and patted the approximate location of "Mary Valley".
"It's not a random name, because this is the Plague Valley, and there are a lot of miasma and poisonous swamps in it. Although it does not cause any harm to the demons, and even some demons were born here, but Mary Valley But it is a forbidden place for human beings, even if you are the master of the brave, you can't pass through it without preparation."
This is really a headache.
There are roads but they are not suitable for humans to pass through. Is it possible that I want to fly over?
"Unfortunately, there is a no-fly area in the valley, even birds can only walk over it on the ground."
"How idle is it to do nothing!"
Why does such a place exist!
Isn't this the natural barrier of August, the capital of the demons!
No wonder the group of demons built their capital in such a strange place, it was planned long ago.
"Is there another route?"
"Unfortunately, there is no other way to arrive within three months."
"..."
Bad as hell.
I could only rub my brows and waved my hand to signal Qiuqiu not to care.
Anyway, it's not that time yet, so don't think about such a headache for now.
"So don't worry about it, which way should I go to Grace?"
"Go to Mark Village first, then start from the northeast of Mark Village, then follow the northern sea and make a half-circle before arriving at Grace," Qiuqiu drew a half circle on the map, then turned to me Sticking out his tongue, "Although it looks farther than going directly, it will take more time to go directly to Grace because it needs to go through the Gloria Mountains."
"Is it the turn of the winter snow god Gloria this time? Why are these gods always giving blessings indiscriminately?"
The Gloria Mountains, the legendary perpetually frozen land, are colder than the islands in the northeast of Lindsay Continent.
No wonder Qiuqiu didn't propose to pass through this place.
Not to mention the time spent, whether it can be passed through is a problem.
"Okay, let's go to Mark Village first."
"That's the kind of master."
Qiuqiu put the map away, then nodded to me.
I didn't expect that I had just left that village for two days, and now I would return there again.
Life is always so full of drama.
"It's decided! Let's go!"
"Good master!"
So, as a brave man, my partner Qiuqiu and I embarked on the road to save...well, the devil king.
... Can I choose to reject this kind of dramatic life!
