Is this really just an RPG? !

Chapter 6 - Demon King Rescue Association - the primary task is to save the devil (2)

I have to be amazed at the gift of the gods, because just now I witnessed and experienced an unbelievable thing. Without using any force, Xiaobai drove me all the way to the foot of the mountain, and the fluffy snow under her feet did not interfere with her actions.

Xiaobai is the king of white wolves in Matthew Snow Mountain. She possesses magical powers unmatched by ordinary magic wolves, as well as a gift from Snow Mountain: as long as she is within the range of Matthew Snow Mountain, all her actions will not be disturbed, and she will have luck blessing.

Why are the gifts I've seen...the accompanying effects so subtle?

I don't want to experience a second time in my life like becoming an eight or nine-year-old loli.

Unknowingly, with the help of Xiaobai, Qiuqiu and I came to the foot of the mountain, in front of which was August's city wall. Xiaobai rushed all the way into the woods and motioned for me to come down.

For some reason, she didn't want to get close to August, so she could only send me here.

"Wu!"

Xiaobai howled and turned around and went into the forest. I couldn't distinguish her figure in the white snow, so I could only continue to move towards August.

"Speaking of which, Master is riding Xiaobai."

"Well, what's the matter?"

Not only did Qiuqiu have a strange tone, but it was also the first time he had heard the words and expressions.

It should be a common language, right?

——However, I always feel that there is a bad extension of her words?

"Admitting it! The first time we met, I rode the other party. The master is really amazing!"

"Xiaobai didn't reject me in the first place. Although there is a reason for force and pressure, she is actually not very afraid. Compared with this, I want to know why she followed us."

"..."

Qiuqiu suddenly narrowed his eyes, with the word "dislike" written all over his face, crossed his arms across his chest, and just looked at me like this, as if he didn't want to answer. I don't know why Qiuqiu dislikes me, so I can only think about how to enter the palace of the devil first.

Anyway, go say hello to the Demon King first!

When meeting for the first time, leaving a good impression must be right.

"Master, you are so pure."

"Eh?"

Qiuqiu's words became more and more difficult to understand.

"It's nothing, it feels really boring, and I can't flirt with it at all."

"???"

I can't understand what Qiuqiu is saying at all.

Unable to follow her words, I chose to think about the question "how to get along with the devil for 24 hours".

It is really a cross-century philosophical question.

"strangeness……"

"Um?"

Following her line of sight and looking forward, I realized what she was referring to.

On the tall city wall, there are no guards to be seen, and no sound can be heard even standing outside the city gate, just like a dead city. If this is a city dominated by skeletons or vampires, it would be understandable to be so quiet: one can't speak, and the other is nocturnal and can only sleep during the day.

But here it is August.

August, the capital of the Demon Race, is also the location of the Demon King's Palace.

In any case, there will be no zero defense situation.

I have some headaches.

The city gate was closed tightly, and there was no way to open the city gate from the outside, and the guards could not be seen. Then if you want to enter August, you can only choose violent means to blast open the city gate directly, or fly over the city wall.

Not to mention that the latter cannot be implemented because there is no magic scroll.

If the former is adopted, it will directly rise to international issues!

It is also very possible to start a war directly if there is a disagreement.

"Qiuqiu, can you fly inside and open the city gate?"

"Although I really want to help the master... But Qiuqiu, I am too far away from the master, and there is no way to get in touch with the real thing."

"The reality is cruel."

There are many ways to open the door, but I only think of two: the first is to open the door in a conventional way from the inside, but this method cannot be done without guards; the second is to use unconventional means to directly blast the door open.

No matter how hard the city walls and gates are, they cannot withstand the damage of super law magic.

The luxury level design of Ingrid Prison is not something that any country can afford. Moreover, Ingrid City has not achieved that there are even demon-hating materials in the city walls. ,

"Qiuqiu, get out of the way first."

"Master, you have become more and more unwilling to think about the optimal solution recently."

"If you think about it so much, it's better to be direct!"

Saying that, I took out the scroll from my backpack.

But the sound of huge gears turning interrupted my movements, and the door just opened itself for some reason, as if it was welcoming me—if this greeting didn’t come after I took out the magic scroll, it seemed that I It is the same as threatening it with force.

"obviously it is."

Qiu Qiu whispered to express his dissatisfaction with me.

I just shrugged and gave it an innocent look.

Now that the door has been opened, I retract the magic scroll, touch the dagger at my waist, and slowly approach August. Here, I saw a completely different scene from what I imagined: there are neat shops on both sides of the street, most of which are not closed, and a variety of goods are placed inside; there are several mobile stalls on the side of the road, There are still some sparks in the furnace, which can prove that people... or demons stayed here not long ago.

But can't see it.

The demons who once lived here disappeared.

It seems that in a short period of time, the residents of the entire city have encountered a mysterious disappearance, and no one survived.

It's incredible.

I moved forward cautiously, with my left hand on the hilt, ready to draw out the dagger at any time to fight against the enemies that appeared suddenly. Qiuqiu is quite casual, relying on his two characteristics of "invisible to the naked eye" and "immortal body", he can sway back and forth at will.

After maintaining this state for ten minutes, I gave up this unnecessary over-vigilance, let out a loud breath, and put my hands back to their original positions after returning to the usual state.

Qiuqiu came back to me just after investigating a house, shaking his head at me with regret.

The whole of August is like a dead city.

Could it be that everyone is in the palace?

August is the capital of the demons, one is because the palace of the demon king is here, and the other is that most members of the demons live in August.

Such a central city would actually become a dead city.

Could it be that the demons here are all nocturnal species?

It's impossible to think about it!

I couldn't find any demons, but all the buildings were intact, and it didn't look like there had been any battles.

Take away the entire August demon clan without a fight?

"What kind of person can do it..."

"I don't know."

"Can Qiuqiu find out the possible situation?"

"No, this situation is not mentioned in the 'Endless Library' at all."

"Tsk."

I walked all the way from the city gate to the center of the city without any danger, and even the "siren" on the screen did not respond. There was only a green dot on the map.

I pulled the wizard hat on my head and raised my head to look towards the palace.

The river in the city surrounds the castle, as if separating it from the rest of the city.

The huge castle is too conspicuous, even the sign on the front gate.

The strange and indescribable pattern is the representative symbol of the demons, and it is also a small rune, which is exactly the same as the symbol seen on the city wall.

"Master, do you want to go in?"

"You can only go in."

I came to the gate with Qiuqiu, and a huge iron gate stood in front of me. It's similar to the city gate, and it doesn't look like a door that can be opened from the outside.

Is it possible to threaten with force again?

[Are you kidding me. 】

I quickly dismissed my thoughts.

Taking a violent breakthrough at the gate of the city and entering August can barely make sense. But here is the Demon Palace. If I dare to blow it up at will, it will really rise to the level of an international issue. Maybe I will be arrested by the Demon Army and spend the rest of my life in prison?

terrible!

"Qiuqiu, can you help open the gate this time?"

"Well, Qiuqiu, go and try."

This time Qiuqiu didn't refuse, and his body disappeared from my eyes through the gate.

"Crackling! Grunt gurgling gurgling!"

Soon the door was opened, and Qiuqiu came back to me with a tired look on his face.

"Qiuqiu, are you alright?"

"It's just that the mana consumption is a bit high, don't worry, master."

Seeing her full of energy, I also breathed a sigh of relief.

Walking into the palace, it was obviously different from what I expected again: empty halls, traces of battles on the floor, gavels hanging from the ceiling, and notice boards lying on the ground with nothing written on them.

Could it be that someone arrived first?

"Boom!"

There was a loud noise behind him, and he turned around to find that the door had been closed.

This is such a familiar opening method, and then I confirmed the message "The door is locked and cannot be opened for some reason" on the screen.

——The old-fashioned horror script is really enough, so we can't change it to something new.

Say something? Even if the door is unlocked, I can't push it open!

After all, it is so big! Still a heavy iron gate!

I'm a brave man and an ordinary boy, okay?

"call……"

My attention shifted to the battle marks in the hall.

There are marks left by the claws of beasts, marks left by swords, and even marks left by fire magic or lightning magic. It is like a chaotic battle that is extremely bad. The number of participants should be plural. .

To be able to create so many kinds of battle marks, it would be too scary if it was just one person.

"Master, something is wrong with the magic power in the air."

"Um?"

I looked at Qiuqiu suspiciously.

"The devil is good at dark spells. If there are really troublesome guests, the devil will not stop, but there is no magic left by any dark spells here."

"That means the Demon King is not here?"

"It's a possibility..."

Qiu Qiu said uncertainly.

I couldn't think of an answer, so I shook my head and quickened my pace across the hall, walking straight all the way to the innermost room.

According to the structure and settings of the castle, this kind of place is probably related to the demon king. Maybe it is the shop where the demon king's throne is located. When you open it, you can see the demon king sitting on the throne?

I raised my hand and slowly pushed the door open.

Then, I saw the Demon King sitting on the throne.

"..."

"Master Brave! Please help me!"

On the throne, a man with a pair of horns on his head and a chained man called out to me for help.

"Well, did I disturb your privacy?"

"Eh?"

The person didn't seem to understand what I was saying.

After sorting out my thoughts, I tried to explain what I meant with a smile on my face as much as possible.

"Actually, you don't need to pay too much attention to this kind of thing. After all, every existence is different, so I can understand that there are guys who like to be tied up and placed in an empty room."

After I finished speaking, I was about to turn around and leave.

Inadvertently intruding into the other person's privacy is really bad.

"Not such a brave man! I don't have a bondage habit! It was the princess who caught me!"

"……What?"

I always feel that something is wrong?

The princess caught the devil and tied him up and put him on the throne?

"I understand, I understand the way you show affection."

"Master Brave, don't do this!"

"No, no, I have no interest in breaking up other people. I will be responsible for notifying the King of the Alexander Empire. I wish you happiness!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"..."

Just help untie the rope, it should be fine.

You can also sell the favor of a demon king... Ah bah, demon love, it's very good.

Pulling out the dagger at my waist, I walked towards the Demon King on the throne. When I was about to arrive, there was a sudden "boom" from the ceiling, and a blond girl with a giant sword descended from the sky and appeared between me and the devil.

[image]

"Brave?"

"……Who are you?"

"I'm Lilith Berkeley!"

I see, it's Princess Lilith... Wait? Princess Lilith?

Is this girl the target of my entrustment this time?

Why no one told me that Her Royal Highness is such a tough existence!

"The real brave makes me a little disappointed. It turns out to be just a child who hasn't grown up yet, but there is no doubt that you are a brave!"

"The first half of the sentence is very rude! What do you mean by 'a real brave man disappointed me', and I am a brave man!"

Princess Lilith, does your father know that you have such a poisonous tongue?

"Those are not important, what is important is now!"

"Okay, Your Royal Highness, I'm here..."
