The Demon King’s Seal Has Been Broken

7 – A party of warriors that is bound to fail unconditionally

Bill became the new hero after Lag.

He must unseal the demon king and kill the demon king.

And that day was about a week away. After a week or so, he was scheduled to leave immediately to kill the demon king.

‘Destroy the demon king… honestly, I don’t think it’s that difficult, but…’

To be honest, Bill had to be very relaxed.

Looking at the demon lords in ancient literature, I can defeat myself with this level. I was the one who had countless thoughts.

In the battle against the hero Rag three years ago, he was not pushed back at all, but rather he was the one who pushed…

There was no thought at all that he couldn’t defeat the demon lord that Rag had sealed.

There is probably a 99% chance of defeating the demon lord.

Bill had no doubt that he could defeat the Demon King.

‘But I guess I’ll have to prepare for a week.’

However, that did not mean that he would go to the Demon Castle without any countermeasures.

The existence of the demon king was still a demon king, and it was never an existence to be ignored.

Bill was not ignoring the fact that there is always a one-in-a-kind possibility, and that you shouldn’t ignore it.

He was worried about something he didn’t know.

What if you lose yourself…? such a thought.

Now that there is no information about the demon king, there was no reason for Bill to be vigilant.

‘I need to prepare as much as possible…’

He was a man of great preparedness.

So, at least, I wasn’t a person who wastes a week to prepare before leaving for the Devil’s Castle.

During this week, I started to think about what I should do in order to prepare the best even if I didn’t prepare the best…

‘Let’s gather allies…!’

His conclusion came down to gathering allies.

The easiest way to subdue the demon lord is actually to get help from others.

Gathering allies was a much easier and simpler way to subdue the demon lord than training himself.

Because of this, Bill is trying to make a warrior party.

In fact, it seemed like a reasonable idea.

‘But… Strangely, that guy didn’t organize a warrior party and went alone…’

However, for some reason, I also felt full of doubts.

Strangely, the former hero, Rag, did not form a warrior party.

Rag, who had been traveling alone ever since he started being a hero, strangely seemed to be looking for a companion, but in the end he went alone.

Why? I have no idea why, but…

‘Well, I’m not particularly curious.’

Well, I wasn’t particularly interested in what the former hero did.

After all, he was only able to seal it that way, right?

He was, by all accounts, a failed warrior.

A failed hero who was unable to kill the demon king and barely managed to seal it.

There was nothing more useless than analyzing what thoughts such a failed hero had and why he acted the way he did.

Thinking about it wouldn’t help anything.

‘Because I’m going to recruit a warrior party.’

Still, I could be certain.

Rag’s actions were wrong, so he could barely seal them.

Because of this, he was thinking of recruiting a colleague using it as a teacher on the other hand.

Then he can become a successful warrior.

Unlike the former hero Rag.

‘As expected, we have to recruit the Master of the Magic Tower.’

And the first of those companions, of course, would be the owner of the Mage Tower.

A person with the best talent in the realm of magic.

A mage with the most outstanding skills, that is the Mage Tower Master at the top of the Mage Tower.

First of all, among the people to be recruited into the warrior party, the mage tower came to mind first.

“Okay… Let’s meet.”

Bill rode the wagon straight to the magic tower.

That’s how Bill borrowed a wagon, and after a full day passed, he was able to arrive at the magic tower.

Of course, the Mage Tower treated him as a hero.

“Hello. Hero. My name is Derek, the Master of the Magic Tower. What is the reason you came here?”

It was natural for the Mage Master to appear at the appearance of Bill, who became a hero.

The lord of the mage tower came down to see Bill from the top of the mage tower.

He bowed his head to Bill and asked why he was here.

“My name is Bill, the hero. Master of the Magic Tower, I came because I wanted to recruit you into the warrior party.”

Bill first introduced himself to him and shook his hand.

Back home, my job was as an assistant at a blacksmith’s house.

To be honest, I don’t really have to do anything.

I already worked as a warrior and the money was so much that I would rot and overflow even if I spent my whole life, but I didn’t feel like I hated this job for some reason.

As a job I did before becoming a warrior… I liked this job.

Because I was thinking that if I quit being a hero, I should do this job.

I was working as a blacksmith today as well.

“Rag. Bring this to the chief’s house and cut it out.”

“all right.”

And in the meantime, the blacksmith’s uncle had me run an errand.

Farming tools that the head of the village requested repairs the other day.

He was telling me to bring the farming tools myself.

I accepted the farming tools and soon arrived at the chief’s house.

“Hey. Thank you Rag. You brought it yourself.”

“What.”

The chief who likes to accept farm tools repaired at the blacksmith’s house.

A simple errand, a simple finish.

After the chief waving at me, I was about to go back to the blacksmith’s house.

“Haap…!”

But by chance, I was able to meet an unexpected person.

The sound of cheers and explosions coming from the backyard of the chief’s house.

I went to the backyard to find out what was going on, and there was my childhood friend Eline, who was training hard for magic.

“Eline. Hello.”

You’ve been training here…?

It was also a coincidence that we met like this, and it was also because we hadn’t been able to talk to Eline since we returned to the village.

Delighted, I approached Eline first and greeted her.

“Huh…!? Rag? What’s going on here?”

And seeing me like that, Elene panicked for a moment.

However, soon after, Eline asked me back with a calm expression and as if nothing was wrong.

It was a bit cute, like a country girl playing a lady.

“Well, I happened to stop by while running errands.”

I explained to Eline the reason for coming here, and Eline nodded, saying that it was like that.

“By the way, it’s amazing? Magic skills.”

And I brought up a story about the magic I had seen earlier.

The magic that Eline showed me is still lacking in terms of perfection, but…

Still, it seemed to be on a pretty high level.

At least compared to a mage of Eline’s age, he must be very good…

Should I say the sprouts are visible? I felt that way.

So I genuinely praised Eline.

“Whoa…! I’m a genius…!!”

At these words, Eline was greatly delighted.

After all, in order to act like a lady as much as possible, I try not to show it.

You could tell from the already quivering muscles in her face how delighted she was at these words.

After all, no matter how much you pretend to be a lady, your old personality doesn’t seem to go anywhere.

“So, be nice to me from now on. You might enter the Mage Tower later and become the owner of the Mage Tower! Then you might get some bean curd… Especially if you’re a childhood friend, I might make you my secretary.”

Eline had heard that she wanted to pursue a career in magic after entering the Royal Academy.

I want to become the most outstanding magician in the empire, the Mage Tower Master, or something…

Anyway, I heard that you have such a dream.

“Hmm… is that so?”

Eline’s proposal to become a secretary…

Eline, who will be working at the Magic Tower, and me, who is her secretary, somehow drew a picture.

Come to think of it, being Eline’s secretary might not be a bad thing.

“I’ll take care of you later…”

It’s not that I don’t like my current blacksmith job, but maybe that’s not a bad life…?

I told Eline to take care of me just in case.

“Whoops. Don’t worry. I’m not the kind of heartless childhood friend who just throws it away just because it’s great!!”

Eline gave a confirmation.

A smile came out of the heartwarming story.

“By the way, Master of the Magic Tower… It’s been a while…”

But in the meantime, the story about the magic tower suddenly starts, and for some reason, I think about the owner of the magic tower.

When I was active as a hero in the past, I also have memories of meeting the owner of the mage tower, and the memories were quite strong, so I’ll have to try to forget them so I can’t forget them.

I thought of him for a moment.

“Huh…? Rag. Do you know the Mage Tower Lord?”

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

My reaction, Eline asked me while tilting her head.

Apparently, I noticed that I knew the owner of the mage tower, so that part was strange, and it seemed like he was curious…

Well, Eline wouldn’t know that I was a hero.

Although no one in the town knew about that fact…

“Um… not that I don’t know.”

Of course, I know about the Magic Tower Master.

If you live as a warrior in the first place, you won’t be able to know.

In fact, in the past, while promoting as a hero, of course I also tried to organize a party.

Originally, warriors used to form parties to deal with the demon lord, so at a time when I also needed superior power, the nickname of magic tower owner was quite a welcome nickname.

So I went to visit the owner of the magic tower. I’m trying to recruit a warrior party…

And I met him in person.

“Wow… Really? Then you know. Rag. What kind of person was the Lord of the Magic Tower?”

Eline’s question about what kind of person the owner of the Magic Tower was…

“…”

The question was easier than I thought.

You can answer with just one word.

Lung class…

He was the most low-class of all the people I was thinking of recruiting as an ally.
