Don't call me evil god

Devils and evil gods have bad reputations, but they have an essential difference.

Once you surrender to the evil god, his power itself is extremely crazy. Evil god believers can easily fall into frenzy and cannot control themselves at all. Once this power is used, it will cause serious consequences.

Devils are different.

Mortals who sign a contract with the devil are sober and have the ability to decide whether to borrow power, whether to use it, and where to use it.

King Kenreddin's attitude is that he does not oppose those warlocks who can control their desires, as long as they can use this power properly.

Therefore, the Kingdom of Reyak has never officially issued an expulsion decree or a prohibition bill against warlocks.

All the exclusion and isolation of warlocks are actually spontaneous attitudes formed by the people.

The king just acquiesced, but did not explicitly support it.

Even if Rune Monger is a warlock who made a deal with the devil, he has indeed made a lot of contributions to the kingdom over the years.

In the process of accumulating wealth and eventually becoming the richest man, the businesses under his name and the various industries he invested in created a large number of jobs, provided salaries to many people, and provided convenience for the entire kingdom.

Moreover.

The more Rune Monger earned, the more taxes he had to pay to the royal family.

Including the various donations he has made continuously over the years.

No matter what the real purpose of his doing these things is.

From the perspective of the matter itself, these are undoubtedly things that are beneficial to the development of the Kingdom of Reyak.

So King Kenredin doesn't mind Rune Monger's identity.

If a bad guy wears a mask to disguise himself, and then deliberately does good things all his life until he dies, he is a thorough good person in terms of deeds and not his heart.

At least.

In the good things he did, he was a good person.

When he really planned to do bad things, King Kenredin would take action in time to solve it and not give him the opportunity to do evil.

Pete thought from a different perspective.

Are there not many people who have signed a contract with the devil?

Let's not talk about anything else.

In this room alone, there is one person sitting next to him, and he is the person closest to him.

There are now more than a dozen courageous guys in the Church of Knowledge who think they are determined enough and call on Rafi to sign a contract to borrow power.

Then why can't they become the richest man in the kingdom?

Rune Monger can earn a lot of wealth, and there must be the power of the devil to fuel it.

But this is just like the priests who charge fees for using the glow magic to treat people, the mages who charge fees for using magic to provide convenience, or the warriors who accept commissions to eliminate monsters entrenched in the wild. It is considered the income brought by this power.

But this income alone is not enough.

To achieve the level of Rune Monger, one's own efforts, talents, and even opportunities are indispensable.

Although the other party now has extremely rich wealth, for King Kenreddin, as long as there is enough evidence to prove that Rune Monger has an affair with the cultists, he will not hesitate to punish the other party.

Kenredin was obviously prepared for the aftermath issues that were a headache for Pete, and had kept the corresponding back-up arrangements.

This was not just aimed at Rune Monger.

It was aimed at the richest man in the kingdom, or in other words, the rich people in the kingdom.

If they had any problems, Kenredin would work with the Glorious God Cult to deal with them ruthlessly and seriously.

Whether the other party was called Rune, Sean, or Wayne, it would make no difference at this point.

...

"So, gentlemen, don't worry too much. The biggest difference between us and the dwarves is that the Kingdom of Reyak will not be as stubborn as Stone Castle."

"Why don't we talk about the action legion?" King Kenredin comforted everyone again, and then turned to a new topic: "What do you think of the concept of this legion?"

"I want to hear the truth. There is no need for meaningless flattery and praise."

Pet thought about it and decided to tell the truth:

"Your Majesty, if it is based on what I saw in the throne room."

"The positioning and role of this legion are indeed very good, but... the nobles in the capital may not be willing to support it."

"Because it may mean more obligations, less benefits, and higher dangers for them."

Kenredin clapped his hands and laughed.

"Pet, can I call you that directly? Okay, Pete."

"You are so right!"

"You are very observant. I think you should all be aware of the long-standing problems in the kingdom, right?"

Pet nodded silently.

Kenreddin was obviously referring to the fact that the new group of manor nobles was growing larger and larger, and their comfortable life was gradually wearing away their fighting spirit over time.

Just look at the night banquet at Monger Manor to find out the problem.

Indulge in pleasure and live a decadent life.

Forget about responding to the call of the action corps. They were good enough to put their lives aside and fight with all their strength during the monster red tide.

Pete now roughly understood why there was a "supervision team" branch composed of all professionals in the king's army.

If there was no supervision, some people might try to escape from the battle or shake the morale of the army.

"You expect to use these guys to form an action corps? Forget it."

"A few years ago, I stopped expecting them to make much extra contribution to the kingdom. Serving the country on the border defense line may be the greatest value they can bring."

His Majesty Kenredin seemed to have no fear of the consequences of telling Pete and his party these words.

He seemed to be very sure that Pete and his party would never "go along with the manor nobles in the capital."

"Since I had the idea of ​​establishing an action corps, my goal has not been the capital." Kenredin smiled confidently and explained to Pete and others.

"I have been to the eastern part of the kingdom many times, and I have witnessed and experienced the fierce folk customs there... well, the fierce folk customs there."

Pet nodded helplessly.

The eastern region, especially the eastern border, is forced to be fierce.

There are monsters every year, and even refugees can't escape to the outside of Ceylon alive when monsters invade. They really can't do it without some skills.

Even if they can't beat monsters, they are familiar with many characteristics of monsters and know how to deal with them to escape.

"I have actually been waiting for an opportunity to select a group of excellent and potential candidates from the eastern part of the kingdom. They are the most suitable candidates for the action corps I envisioned."

"Strong-willed, fearless of fighting, and irreconcilable with evil!"

King Kenreddin looked at everyone with fiery eyes:

"Your presence gives me hope!"

...

There are more and more in the evening
